Converting EOLs in dos format to unix

I had a file which contains dos style EOLs in it which I couldn't see except in Vim. Being long time, I forgot how to convert them to unix style EOLs and figured out only after searching in Google. :( My memory power is decreasing day by day I can say.
any ways, the command to use is

dos2unix filename

That's it.

Quote-1

After every sad day
comes a glad day

Question is: How will you define which is sad and which is glad. :D

want to be a kid forever

How good is life of a kid.no need to bother about what some one say. What ever we do as a kid, no one gets angry as they think that "leave it. he/she is just a kid".You are free to do what ever you want to do. No restrictions. no tensions.no responsibilities.

Enthusiasm is degrading poorly

I was browsing through my older posts starting from the blog that I first wrote. And, I could see a lot of degradation in all ways-
The fresh ideas I had just after coming out from school.
The frequency of writing
The kind of topics I chose during those days

After all, old is getting old day by day.And you can see younger kids are smarter than old.

Moral of the story: Time is precious. Don't waste it.

Finally,

Finally, smoking is going to be banned in public places from tomorrow.Source is this

But, I am not sure how many people actually follows it. :(

Life is boring
Life is exciting
Life is tough

Is it possible to feel all at the same time? I am just wondering.

Strange google search error

I got above error when I did simple Google search. I don't know why this happened? Does any one have any clue?

But I found it really weird and annoying.

Bored at work?

Here is the solution given by my colleague.

You got bored while working and want a quick relaxation with an entertainment.
No need to open orkut. No need to open youtube or what ever.
Just look at the faces of other people around you. and look at their expressions. It will be so funny. :) and so you will be relaxed. :)

Seems like today is all bad news day

Came across this link
and I actually started SIP and ULIP in 2006. :((

The most funniest/embarassing event happened today

I was chatting in parallel with my manager and another friend. During this, I typed a message to my manager thinking it is my friend's window. :((
It was in Telugu.

He couldn't understand even a single bit and he said "That's horrible.".

:(( :(( I don't know why I did this. :((

IITs soon may become other normal Govt colleges

came across this link recently. Really, it is a great job by government. Sooner, IITs become at par with other colleges (may be much less than that) and loose their value for sure.

Hurray!!!

Recently, when I went to metro. The security person at the entrance stopped me and said "Under 18 are not allowed". :))

I was so happy given people during marriage functions assuming me as a married girl with a kid.

No Smoking in public places: will it be strictly followed?

This news says, smoking is completely banned in workplaces. And, if some one violate this, the owner, proprietor, manager will be fined.

Now, coming to the reality, I remember seeing a "No Smoking" board in a BMTC bus where the driver was smoking. :))Now, whom should we report?

Again, when I went to a movie theatre in my home town. It was written at the outside of theater that "Smoking is prohibited inside theater and some other conditions". It was written by the town police and also said, if some one violates, they will be fined.
These people(Police) are very clever. They have written these rules but didn't give any contact number on which we can complain. So, when we went inside the theater, people were happily smoking and we had to bear that. :(

Plain Dosa Vs Sada Dosa

Yesterday, I went to a hotel in Bangalore and was giving my order. I said "One Sada Dosa". He promptly replied in Kannada saying "No. we don't have sada dosa. We have plain dosa, masala dosa, set dosa". :))

Google Aap ki bhasha mein

Google launched translator for Indian local languages(right now only for Hindi). You can check it out at

It is simply awesome.

On lighter note, when I tried to use this over my blog, I found it funny. :)

Below was the conversation between my cousins. One has just finished his 2nd std and another finished his 10th std.

10th Std Cousin: ee roju chatrapati movie. but, nuvvu already chusesavu kada? (Today movie "Chatrapati" is showing in one of the channels. But, you watched it already. isn't it?

2nd Std Cousin: aa. Kani, nenu marchipoyintanu kada. (Ya. But, I might have forgotten right.)


Another conversation:
We all thought of going for a movie. So, I want to find out the timings for the show. So, I asked my 2nd std cousin who is a movie addict regarding show timings. So, my father had asked this boy "You frequently watch movies in theater right?". So, for this, this kid replies "Ledu. ippudu manesa. (No. I left it now.)".

The Mistaken Identity

Scene -1:
There was a book exhibition in my office and my friend and I were browsing thru the books and I had few CDs in my hand. Then, one lady whom I knew came and asked me if there is any discount. I said "Yeah. it is 22% over books and 10% over CDs". There was another girl a little far from us and was listening to this. And now she repeated the same question to me. Though I don't know her, I replied her with the information that I knew about the discounts. Here one thing that should be noted is we were standing in one side of the table where books were displayed and these two girls were standing the other side.

We were still browsing thru the books. And the unknown lady who repeated the question came back to me with a Harry Potter book and asked me "Excuse me, what is the price of this book?".!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scene -2: I had gone to my cousin's marriage recently and was talking to one of my relative. There was another lady who was sitting beside her and observing me for a while. There was a kid of 5-6yrs just beside me. During a discussion, that lady who was sitting with my relative asked me whether that kid is my son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucky- Our cute little warden of our home

Our cute lucky used to see both my brother and I going together to office and then coming home together. Some times, if one of us gets late and other reaches early, my sweet lucky asks where is other person just after one of us enter into the home. One day, it happened that I got late and my brother had to leave early, she didn't let my brother saying "Pinni also come with you. Don't go".

Today, I was getting ready to catch office shuttle and as usual I was in hurry during last moments. She was playing something and asked me to help for that. I said "Sorry dear. I am getting late to office". The next question she asked me is "Breakfast?". I said "No Dear. I will have it in office". Then she asks "How about Mama(my brother)?". Her question is whether even my brother also takes breakfast at office or what?.
I always tell my sister that we should start a PG for girls and your daughter is a perfect fit for managing it. :)

Moral of the story:
You forget all your sorrows when you speak to a child for a while. Even if you are mood off, you will be alright after looking at them.

Friday was forgetting day and monday?

It happened that, on Friday, when I got into office shuttle, I remembered n number of things which I forgot to take along with me. That too, I started realizing it one by one.

Now, Today, when I entered into the office, my office id card thread got split into two. I thought that is ok. Now, while coming down from stairs, I realized that my sandal too got broken. :( So, what Monday is called?

Amway

Just to clarify, I am not talking anything against or favor of Amway. :)

Scene-1:
Location: Bangalore
Few weeks back, one of my friend went to landmark in forum and was searching for some books. He saw another person who was also searching for some books. After a while, the other person started talking to my friend. After a while, the person asked my friend to give his contact number. My friend realized that this guy is from Amway and asked him directly whether he is from Amway. The guy didn't tell the truth but my friend understood that he is from Amway. :)

Scene-2:
Location: A village near my hometown
I met my father's friend who is very talkative. He was so much talkative that he will find some topic or the other and discuss on that. He says "I can't live without talking to others and smile at them when I realize that they are from our place".
He was talking about his visits to US where he figured out that young people try to avoid talking. He says "The foreigners smile at you and wish you but the people whom from their features you can recognize that they are from India, they try to avoid even smile when the other person smiles.". He continues "What is wrong with smiling? It costs nothing. Just because you smiled at me, I won't come to your home right?". He was discussing the same with his daughter-in-law and asked "Why our people in US don't talk nor even smile when we try to talk to them or smile at them?" She said "Uncle, here, if some one initiates the discussion then the other people think they are Amway agents"!!!!
I couldn't control my laugh when he said this and was continuously laughing after that. :)

Two more songs added to my favorite list

1. "ye ishq hain" from "Jab We Met"- A little fast beat song. Shreya Goshal sung with full enthusiasm and the music is also well composed. After watching movie, you will like it more for sure.
2. "Katrin Mozhiye" from "Mozhi" -a Tamil movie. I don't know about the meaning of this song but it is nice to hear and even for watching. It start slowly and then at some point it goes a little fast at a little high pitch and then comes down. And I love it more at that point and also love those simple steps that they do in the middle of song.

Things to make sure when you are leaving a company

Make sure you get your final settlement and most important is Income tax computation sheet or Form-16 from your previous company. Otherwise, it is slightly painful.

I feel my writing skills are becoming worse day by day :(

As per Eliza's order/request :)

It is been long time that I didn't write anything on my blog. So, I thought I should write something to just confirm that I am still alive. :)
Reasons for not writing might be:
1. I am too busy in some other works (preparing a video on my niece, too busy writing so many status updates :) )
2. I am lazy.
3. I was far from internet for a while.
4. Didn't get good topic or interesting topic to write.
5. Routine life made me bore to write same routine stuff.
6. I forgot my intention of starting this blog.

So, just to be back in form. I thought, I will write about "Taare Zameen Par" that every one giving good rating. But I still didn't watch this movie.

I thought I will write about the recent cricket match between Australia and India. I know that it is bad game played by Australian team and the umpires. But then I remember the quote "jo jeeta wahi sikhandar". But isn't it the approach to win the game should be given higher priority? Every one knows that umpires showed favor to Australia and Australian team were very much desperate to have the world record and so went thru all possible (wrong) ways to win the game. If a person found guilty in doping in Olympics, the award will be taken out from the person.So, won't that be applied here and nullify their win?
