There is a blue wave small blue-ripple going through the US today. A small victory for the other side. While the senate remains with the Republicans, the Democrats have taken over the house of representatives.
Will this change anythign ? Hope so. Will have to wait and watch if the system really works, or was it broken permanently.
Wishing everyone in Delhi a smokey Diwali.
Wonder what you are celebrating. Sadly, this disease is only spreading to other cities in India. Its every other city tomorrow.
These old school Unix exploits still work !!

As children, we used to play that game called statue. When the ‘IT’ yells ‘statue !’, everyone else had to hold their actions and not move a muscle. Blinking eyes was allowed, but nothing more. Who ever moved, was out.
I think this game is only played in India, and the country too loves statues. There are new coming every-year. Indian states find it easier to release funds to build huge stone and steel statues, than for actual governance and policy implementation. The other curious thing Indian politicians love to do is to rename things. Places, states, cities, towns, even roads and maybe even rivers.
Its pathetic. I think the reason is that people will die, but statues are going to stay.
I had the habit of reading detective fiction, and espionage novels during high school and college. But later the hobby died a gradual death as I got busy with work. Now I just read the news. But gone are the days of simple, straightforward news. Now the crimes being reported are stranger than fiction.
This week I read this bizarre news of this murderer who changed his identity from a Malayali to a Gujarathi to escape law for 15 years. He was finally caughtcaught because he was still in touch with his loving mother, of all people.
On Thursday, Pravin Bhateley, a senior manager working with Oracle Private Limited on Bannerghatta Road in Bengaluru, was arrested by the Ahmedabad police. But strangely, Kiran Chowdhury, the inspector dressed as an employee of the IT company who came to arrest Pravin, said, "Hello Tarun, it's over... Let's go."
Read TNM’s excellent coverage of the news.
Oracle ! Seems like a right fit for him.
