I had visualized in my mind that a meet would be like someone giving a talk standing on the podium and rest 
participants comfortably seated in the chairs facing the speaker with an AC running trying to put the listeners to sleep – its actually the combined effect of the AC and the speaker. One thing i would like to share here is my experiences at the Great Indian Developer Summit. I had a real tough time holding back my eyes from drooping especially after the lunch. The talks, the lunch, the AC, and the darkness would all put me to sleep. With all this notions I set out to attend the BOJUG meet. For all those who don’t know what BOJUG is I would throw a brief intro here: BOJUG stands for Bangalore Open Java Users Group. It organises meets every month inviting developers to give talks on various topics related to Java. Its an open forum where people can share ideas, discuss and to promote Java.

though i look busy but i am doing nothing, some thing very similar “Look Busy Do Nothing” 😉 Thanks to the Broadband connection i took a month back from Reliance. I am most of the time hooked on to the internet. You may think that i am busy studying online or searching for some information. If you do think so then you are wrong. The last thing i would like to do on internet is search for information. People may laugh at me when i tell what i do online. I keep looking at the blog stats analysing what people read at my blog or i keep watching the download speed, its fluctuations- I usually keep downloading softwares, games and so on. Remaining time i spent on reading the Movie reviews cause cannot trust on movies, some turn out to be lousy and some worth watching. And people who want to get in touch with me can do it very easily cause i am online most of the time. People reading this may think why has he written all this crap 😉 Its because i always think of my addiction to internet. Due to the addiction most of my work becomes a back log or its not done properly.
books. As far as my knowledge goes, i have seen it only in NCERT books. Now the question is “Why all of a sudden Gandhi’s Talisman?”. I went out today with a plan to buy something, on the way i saw a lady sitting under the street light and was making flower garland (not sure about the english term for the work she was doing, i suppose this should suffice 😉 ). And on her lap was her child(really weak) who was sleeping. Just then i thought should i buy the thing? Is it necessary? I was still searching for answers but her plight moved me. I drove a little further and the shop passed by and i wasn’t able to buy what I intended to (its not that there was no place for parking near the shop,so that I couldn’t stop by and buy 😉 ). Just then “Gandhi’s Talisman” came to my mind. I always used to see it in my NCERT books and it was only one occasion that I read through it. It was so simple to understand that i still remember what it meant, though i cannot not recall the exact wordings.
