LIfe's like that....



what do u say to a nine year old riding a Riksha in the middle of Allahabad civil lines, his father was ill and he was doing it in order to earn money for his medicines.. he asked me whether he could drop me anywhere ...
i wonder may be i should have gone someplace with him on his riksha.. i wonder if i was correct in giving him the money without using his services, was it the honorable thing to do,may be i could have paid him after using his riskha....may be
his father may be really ill and might be dying.. suddenly a nine year old is man of the house..
but life is like that sometimes we suddenly grow up to this world and our childhood are lost

The funniestt thing i ever heard.........

plz answer the question given below.. asked to father whose daughter is going for an MBA
"How are you letting her study an MBA.. where will you go for a more qualified husband for her now"..

my words.... first i laughed at it .. then i realised that this is no joke to lampooned at .This is the truth that is repeated day after day in the households of India.
tell me how many girls go for higher studies .. after the age of 23 they are thought of some commodity which has to be traded.I couldn't help wondering if me and my parents didn't encourage my sister to do an MBA would she have taken a stand to do it.
sometimes i stare at the stars to ask such questions which have no answers or questions which i don't want to answer,other questions which seem impossible to answer but yet can be solved .. will i do it won't i ...is it right or is it wrong .. is my percetion right or wrong..
in right and wrong whatever i choose ..thanks for power to choose

Googled


some questions from google fresher interviews included writing a haiku ..
1. Write a haiku describing possible methods for predicting search
traffic seasonality.

funny na a haiku on season traffic seasonality.... on search engines i hope

my take ...

search engines hits down this
summer .undergrad vacations on ..
na this would not qualify as a haiku ..
not original and not new perspective at all

take 2
search through times is increasing
happiness all around
I'm feeling lucky

Where do u see yourself after 5 years?


ever been in an job interview .. one of the most irritating questions is
Where do u see yourself after 5 years?
Ans.[$%#@^%#@^*%&&($%^$()&^&] an array of bullshit

in interviews i discover that i am cassandra and after being cursed by apollo no one is going to believe me if i predict the future .So i acquiescence to my fate and lie and as predicted they believe me.
does an arrow know where it is going after it has been fired.. i say it is not his interest to know... that is for the bow of circumstances and the bow string of time to know.
in between if you are wondering about what other parts of the bow are they.... plz refer tothe pic above...
but today is the time to ponder .. how can a few question which tend to be so tautological decide the fate of a candidate..

An Equal Music -II

The thing about camellias you know ,is that when there about to die ,they won't tell you in time.If they lack water ,they don't look unhappy for a while,and show you they're suffering ,they just die.......
love in relationships also does not show but just dies.....
can u play without hearing the music .. an equal music u can play without needing to hear it.. i wonder my friend what musics would i have heard if i couldn't hear..
i can only wonder i guess...

An Equal Music

And into that gate they shall enter,and in that house they shall dwell,where there shall be no cloud or sun,no darkness nor dazzling ,but one equal night,no noise nor silence,but one equal music,no fears nor hopes,but one equal possesion,no foes nor friends,but one equal communion and identity,no ends nor beginnings,but one equal eternity.....

trilogy

These are from Trilogy Interview.

(i)Given Finite numbers of sets say S1 , S2 , S3 .... SM . Design an algorithm Find the element such that , it is a member of largest number of sets


(ii)Design a data structure for which Insertion , Deletion and Searching Takes O(1) time . The Data Structure must be such that it holds at the most N Keys. It must throw exception FUll() when there is no more space .(Dont assume anything about type,values... etc of keys )




well my idea is to use array indexed from [Smallest element...........Largest element]and then count the frequency of each elements . And then we can element with Larget frequency .

Largest and Smallest are the Largest and Smallest elements of the set X = { S1 Union S2 Union S3 U .... SM } , The Time complexity is O(N) , N=|S1|+|S2|+|S3|.....|SM| . But this idea is not good , if the numbers are not uniformly distributed in the range smallest to Larget , or if number of elements are less compared to the size of the range.


Another Idea is to use BST ( or AVL Tree )with a Frequency Counter for each node. which is O(NlogN)

Are there any Better Solutions... ? I Guess there are.

There are those who live in the boundaries of guilt and fear, in the limits of imagination. One must dance in the moment. Reach down and pull up a song. Spin and chant and forget the sorrow that we are flesh on bone

lately in my life a lots been happening which has left me all a bit unsure of future,you might say that the future is fickle and can never be planned but what to say of the human mind ,it always wants to plan ,preplan and post plan and plan.i been wondering whether the notion of right or wrong is justified . what is right or wrong in a situation that is already based upon some preconceived notion which can sound abstract to most people.Meanwhile my active vocab has decreased cause of my stay at chandigarh.. well my friends kinda don't like me speaking english so i have to converse in punjabi ..
i am at the crossroads of my life from where one path is different from the other..
though i have chosen a path .. i really don't know much about it
yesterday i was talking to a very intelligent girl ,and it was about the title of this blog... survival life is all about it,surviving something will give you confidence and experience..in between while i am writing amdocs results(recruitment is going on though i didn't appear today ) have come and some of most brilliant people haven't made the aptitude tests(sometimes i feel as though pulling my hair out what is required to get through these tests)and my friend is lying on the bed besides me supined by the force of destiny.To live another day he must survive today and so must i
