Yesterday early morning around 6.20AM I heard noise from a open tap in the kitchen. As there is a shortage of water in Pune, water comes only for 2.30 hours in the morning. So, I went to kitchen to close the tap and slipped as water overflowed to everywhere. Saved my body mostly with both hands but the head came down very fast and the chin hit the floor very hard. I stood up and figured out blood everywhere. Stopped the blood using my tee only.
Ran to the Noble Hospital’s emergency room. They started cleaning the blood and gave the initial first aid. Went for X-ray and after they said nothing broken stitching started. Total 5 stitches and 4 injections :( Btw, this hospital is better than the ones I went in Bangalore if you compare the service and care for the patients.
Can not even laugh as it pains a lot and doctor said stitches may break if I laugh :(
From today morning feeling pain on the sides of both hands.
I don’t know why all these strange accidents happen to me always. After every few months something happens.
Also few nights back almost hit an elephant while returning to home from office at night, thought I will overtake it easily but a speeding car from the other direction changed the story. Luckily brake worked on time and stopped just few inches behind the elephant.

This time I am ok, but my 400GB external HDD is gone and along with it I lost all the photographs that I took in the last two year and the videos including meetthegimp and inkscape and bijra related videos. I somehow managed to kick it while it was connected to the system. It fell from 1 and half feet above the ground.

Right now I am singing in joy(?). Is there any chance that I can recover the data ?
We talked and talked and kept on :) foss.in is a great event to meet all your friends and I love that part a lot. In day 1 after reaching the venue as we were standing just outside the main gate other speakers also started coming. Pradeepto landed with Sharan, Adriaan and Sayamindu were also there. We all went together towards the 750 hall for Harald’s keynote which was as good as expected.
After the keynote we all moved out, the kde-in local team (BMS lug people) also joined us and managed to setup the KDE stall with full of awesome posters including amarok posters :) We, the fedora people also sat down on the ground in the same stall and as they ran out of CDs I started putting Fedora 9 live CD to distribute. Rest of the day we just talked on everything. All other friends also came and joined us there. The hot topic of the first was the kde handbook. After the day ends we started moving out. At night I went through the details for my talk.
The second day started with Sayamindu’s talk on “Coding for education, coding for the last one billion”, this talk helped me personally a lot as I was not so much familiar with Sugar. He started with very basic details on Sugar and went on to the code level. After that we again came to the stall and put the XO(s) on the desk , Sayamindu was carrying two and I carrying one from office. It suddenly became a huge crowd puler as everyone was too much excited to see those little green wonders. We also distributed lot of stickers and live cds. My talk was scheduled just after lunch on the same day on “Getting Started with OLPC Activity Development” and this time I made only one jpeg image as slide (which I forgot to show anyway). I started vim and started to talk :) Within my talk I also copied code from Sayamindu’s Imageviewer and used it in my Jukebox to add a new feature. The talk was too much code oriented and no one asked a single question in the end. The review-o-matic workout was also started in the same time of my talk, my only contribution in that workout was giving git commit rights to rishi. tuxmaniac also joined the group from 2nd day.
Next day was full of KDE, we had some superb entry level talks on different parts of KDE and some high level ones also. Me and Soumya already made a plan to work on maps for Kgeography (Soumya made total 3 which I need to commit) and sat down in the stall with others , OLPCs were working as crowd puller anyway :) Someone suddenly came and told that he liked my talk :) Susmit also joined the Fedora team that day. At night we all went together to “Rasa” for dinner. Veg and Non veg people sat in different table and somehow we managed to make a hilarious scene while dividing the bill.
Day 4 we spent while chasing people with video camera and doing interviews and funny interviews :p . Again almost the whole day was spent in the stall , somehow people were really less in that day.
Everyone was tired on day 5 (usual story in the last day of any event). Kalyan’s end keynote was really mind blowing. I am trying to put the video up somewhere. The full photo set can be found here. Also read Sayamindu’s report and Soumya’s report.
You can find my event report here (11MB). This is my first try to make something like this. Nicu helped a lot with my poor spelling mistakes. Comments are welcome.
Yes it does. I can see it in 2001 , 2005 and in 2008.
This is in 2001, just after getting into engineering college. No one ever shouted at me for taking a photo before or after. After that day we exchanged many words. She was really angry as I took it.
Above she is giving her autograph on my shirt. This was 2005 during the last few days in college. Those days. I was allowed to take as many pictures as I want. Strange enough , the day was 2nd June :p
This time she only asked me to bring my camera to take her photo. I had a sudden visit to Hyderabad, we met after 2 years. talked a lot about college days, and got this
Nothing except few clicks, and had lot of fun.
And also packaged pem
From my childhood, I had many kinds of strange accidents, including accident with goat, Cow, books etc. The latest happened one day ago.
There was no power at home and I was cooking in the light of a candle. I was bending towards the slab where candle was, suddenly I felt the smell of burning and some small noise. What I found is that my front-left side hair was burning in the candle :(
Thought I lost my 60% hair, after I came to Bangalore, but this incident is no way like that.
Who ??
Me & empty_mind
Why?
We bought two bottles of beer and forgot to drink while compiling OpenMoko :)
