Ju’s Came Across #1

I was reading on the architecture discussions of Twitter via Readwriteweb. I was taken to the Wiki explaining the Design Patterns in the Computer Science. We write code by ourself following some of our seniors in any one of the way explained here. But it is good to know the list and explanations of each one of them which may make you a better programmer down the line.

Design Patterns

Design  Patterns are abstract explanations and in no form provide implementation or code for any particular language.

Airport Authorities of Bangalore..

Last week, my friend returned from America. He was bringing a couple of bottles of liquor in a separate bag. He was forced to place the bag inside the Check in luggage. As he landed here in Bangalore, he was shown torn paper bags into which he kept the bottles before keeping it on to the actual bag stating the bottles were broken and these are the remains of your baggage. He understood that they are playing a fools game and he asked for meeting with the Airport manager. The real surprise happened then.

The airport manager was so reluctant to speak English. He answered only in kanada for my friend’s questions in English and Hindi. My friend told that he want to book a complaint on this for which he responded in English giving him the papers for filing the complaint. He once again inquired around the office people about making a complaint for which they replied that the complaint will be on to the trash.

It is really sad that people are not doing their responsibility right.

  • Even though it is legal to bring alcohol into the country, the rule is yet to be passed in the Airport Authorities.
  • Further the airport authorities should grow a lot of learn how to do their job. Being in customer service, you should know how to treat customers.

Come On India Grow UP.

Increasing Temperature in Chennai !!

Temperature is increasing everywhere in line with the Global Warming. This season Chennai has touched 43 deg C. If we go the same way, we will beat Hyderabad sooner. People say it is better to live in second and third level cities than Chennai.

People are not realizing why the temperature is raising. There are two main reasons. One we cut down the natural resources to build houses and using of lot of electronic gadgets as well as mechanical equipments which is increasing the temperature around us indirectly in way of Global warming.

Some of the precautions people can do to come out of this or atleast to maintain the temperature at the same level in the years to come.

  • Plant at least a couple of trees after you cut down trees for the construction. I don’t see any trees grown around a big appartments.
  • Switch Off Gadgets and Equipments when they are not in use. Don’t even keep them in stand by mode.

Let us leave a Better Chennai for the next generation !!!

Cheers - Ranjith
