Shayari of the Day

कभी किसी को मुकम्मल जहाँ नहीं मिलता
कहीं ज़मीं तो कहीं आसमां नहीं मिलता

जिसे भी देखिये वो अपने आप में गुम है
ज़ुबाँ मिली है मगर हमज़ुबाँ नहीं मिलता

बुझा सका है भला कौन वक्त के शोले
ये ऐसी आग है जिस में धुँआ नहीं मिलता

तेरे जहाँ में ऐसा नहीं के प्यार न हो
जहा उम्मीद हो इसकी वहा नहीं मिलता

Khobo Bharine Ame Etlu Hasya

"ખોબો ભરીને અમે એટલું હસ્યાં

ખોબો ભરીને અમે એટલું હસ્યાં કે કૂવો ભરીને અમે રોઈ પડ્યાં.

ખટમીઠાં સપનાઓ ભૂરાં ભૂરાં કુંવારા સોળ વરસ તૂરાં તૂરાં અમે ધુમ્મસના દરિયામાં એવાં ડૂબ્યાં. કે હોડી-ખડક થઈ અમને નડ્યાં.

ક્યાં છે વીંટી અને કયાં છે રૂમાલ? ઝૂરવા કે જીવવાનો ક્યાં છે સવાલ?

કૂવો ભરીને અમે એટલું રડ્યાં કે ખોબો ભરીને અમે મોહી પડ્યાં.

Media Server for Home

Media Server Home Theater PC,

In todays Expanding Digital World, Organizing your Media has Become Increasingly Difficult, We have expanding Source of Digital media, Including Personal media, Like Holiday Pictures and Videos to Personal Videos, to Ever Expanding Movies, Music Collections, 

But with expanding Media  Collections, Comes New Challenges for Organizing them, Having their Meta Data and Of Course sharing them Across Users and Devices, in your own home and to outside world,

There are many stand alone alternative from Operating system developers, For Windows there is Windows Media Center and For OSx there is iTunes, However for Organizing or Sharing media Both of them seesm to be developed Half Heartedly and has many limitations, there are few other options optimized for Personal Computing Like VLC and Quick time, But they are Both Players and Falls Short of Becoming Media Center,

Lets Define Media Center Here, A typical and Holistic Media Center should have capablities of Recoding your TV, Organizing Remaning Your Medias, Ripping your Medial Collection from Blu Ray, DVD, Sharing those media, to other users, and playing them across devices and users, whether in your network or outside your home network,

Since i believe in open source software development, i have decided to ignore above mentioned media Centers from Microsoft and Apple and Other sources, and rather chose two open source Medial Centers, Plex and Kodi ( Earlier Known As XBMC),

Plex (www.plex.tv)

 http://assassinhtpcblog.com/Plex/Plex24.jpg


Plex is Derivation of XBMC, which is partly open source and freely available for Windows, OSx, Debian Linux, Suse, Free BSD and Other Operating System,

Plex Uses Server Architecture, where there is Media Server Software, which will house all your Media Meta Data, paths and Links, and Source, While Plex Player, and additional software Plays those media on various devices like Your Smart TV, Your Analog TV ( With Additonal hardware ), IOs, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Android, PS3, PS4,

Major Advantage of Plex is its Sever Architecture which allows Plex Users, to Transcode Media according to requirement of Different Devices, and streaming them across Users,

Plex Pass is additional feature which is chargeable for 100 USD for Life time which ensures additional features, but it is not necessary for basic operation,

You can also add your Channles Like You Tube on Plex, and watch it on your tv,

Plex Player is also Available natively of Samsung and LG Smart TV,


Kodi (www.kodi.tv)
http://www.hack7mc.com/wp-content/uploads/Top10_2010/media_center_master_results.png?9707a5


Kodi Earlier Xbox Media Center is one of the oldest Media Center Alternative Available, Kodi offers All Options of Plex, Excluding Trans-coding for Devices, which makes it Difficult for Novice Users, to adapt to Multi Device Setup,

Kodi However offers More Customization and Much Large Open Source Plugins For Customization, which make it perfect solution for Advanced user,

Kodi is Free and has In built set up to connect PVR, Torrent Software, and Multiple Source Subtitles, While Plex offer single source and Limited Plugins for Subtitles, and No Option for Torrents,

Itunes and WMC, Integration is available with Both the softwares,

Enjoy,

Black Money - A Hoax



Black Money!!!!! Reality or Hoax
  

  India today and swiss leaks today Published 1195 names of Individual with Unaccounted Money in HSBC Switzerland,  It includes some of the very interesting names, Like Ambanis, Barmans, and Few Politicians, 

This Entire Episode Raises Some questions, While timing of this Is Questionable, This leak is exactly timed after Delhi Election where first time in from last year BJP seems to be on Back foot and Most Probably Narendra Modi, Wont be winning, At this time with Weakened BJP it is needless to Say that there is Political Uncertainty in Large State Like Bihar, 

Another Question is Name Involved in this Leaks are to big and Amount Corresponding to them are to small, For Example Mukesh Ambani has Mainitained Balance of 26 odd Millions in Swiss Bank for Long and same is with his Brother Anil Ambani, and Both of them has their original address in their account, Now this is No Fool who would like accumulate Illigitimate Money would do so, Also For Ambanis, 26 Million USD is Like Pocket Change, they would certainly not be interested in keeping those accounts for tax evasion purposes, 

Even with Special investigation Team Investigating those charges, it will take time to Actually find reality, In case it is ever disclosed, it would be very hard for BJP, In the wake of AAP Gaining Majority in Delhi Elections, To Convince Voters about their intention in Black Money, it has become Catch 69 Situation for BJP, If they go all out and try to Convince Voters that they are Investigating the charges then it will be interpreted as they have been sitting over this for last few months, and if they choose not to comment then it means that they are in coalition with these entities, 

however in both ways, BJP has to Lose, and in wake of Bihar Election this means that BJP will not support Current Chief Minister Manjhi or neither Be able to Remain Silent on Development in Bihar Assembly, or Try to Create environment for new election in Bihar, 

All in All it BJP who will be Defending,

Stray Dogs



I found Six Pups Roaming around my house and were unattended they were small and must be aged at 1 month, were starving for food and water. and clearly suffering from Mal Nutrition and on the verge of Collapsing. These dogs were stray dogs. I gave them food and water for several days hoping that once they grow up, they would go find their own living.

But then One pup was over run by traffic, at that point i realized issue of stray dogs and what can be done.

Stray dogs usually living in urban population are not attacking by nature and does not bite, However they are prone to rabies and other diseases and can transmit same to humans.

there are many issues concerning this but there is no positive movement to help stray dogs. as a human we should do something to help stray dogs.

I was able to find some homes for pups, and i adopted one pup photographed above.

there are organizations who helps to resolve stray dog issue like WSD who would use humanitarian methods for stray dogs issue rather then Mass Killing,

support http://www.wsdindia.org/

Lets us all at our local community work to resolve this issue.

Game People Play

2004 version

A thoroughly Interesting book of Human Psychology, A bit more technical this book helps to stimulate thinking process to analyzer behavioral aspect of interactions.


In the first half of the book, Dr. Berne introduces transactional analysis as a way of interpreting social interactions. He describes three roles or ego-states, the Child, the Parent, and the Adult, and postulates that many negative behaviors can be traced to switching or confusion of these ego-states. Dr. Berne discusses procedures, rituals, and pastimes in social behavior, in light of this method of analysis. For example, a boss who talks to his staff as a controlling parent will often engender self-abased obedience, tantrums, or other childlike responses from his employees.

The second half of the book catalogues a series of mind games, in which people interact through a patterned and predictable series of "transactions" which are superficially plausible (that is, they may appear normal to bystanders or even to the people involved), but which actually conceal motivations, include private significance to the parties involved, and lead to a well-defined predictable outcome, usually counterproductive. The book uses “Boy, has he got your number” and other casual phrases as a way of briefly describing each game. Often, the "winner" of a mind game is the person that returns to the Adult ego-state first.

It is important to note that not all interactions or transactions are part of a game. Specifically, if both parties in a one-on-one conversation remain in an Adult ego-state, it is unlikely that a game is being played.

Presently, more than 10,000 people around the world define themselves as transactional analysts. Though it is sometimes derided as popular psychology in professional psychoanalytical circles, it is useful to examine certain social situations with the method of psychoanalysis.
