At work when I was assigned to a project, I didn't know how to deal with the UI part of it. I was afraid as any other back-end developer would be. But soon after researching a bit, I decided to give jQuery a try for this particular project.
In comparison to other JS framework, jQuery stayed most appealing to me. Reason being, small size, optional components, many (beyond, I could count) feature-rich plug-ins.
But while using the jQuery Grid plugin, I ran into a problem of not being able to set up advance search. Turned out, all I needed to do was use the new API.


And there I was, just adding

$.jgrid.no_legacy_api = true;


did the trick. :)

Long live jQuery. (ok Grid plug-in too :D)

This, somehow, doesn't seem to be right. Well, for a time, I think it's common to every relationship(I am particular to a relationship b/w a boy & a girl here :). Boys normally misconceive it as love and often face this situation many times - a day, some times.
But another thing I perceived is that every-time only I needed to talk (with her, of course). Be it my concern or her, it was somehow made my worry. There could be multiple reasons to it. First, I guess, she's been considered too authoritative. Second, I am considering myself gloomy, or, third, that's the way it is, to which I disagree. That leaves me with first & second points. In any of the two cases, it's an imbalance, which can harm the relationship (I still wonder if I can use the term for this situation). A few days back, I came across an email discussing the same issues. Author talks a lot about the problems & consequences and then concludes with following statement: "Of all the effort and money spent for a girl, If you spend even 10% of it for a boy (get him a drink, or plan some outing), you'll find a life-long friend. For (omniscient)girls, please tell the guy that you are not interested in him."
Hmm, that's it.

Well all the things mentioned above are true... but, I guess, she loves me... ;)

If this were India...


A few minutes back, I came to know that during an air-strike 11 Pakistani soldiers got killed. Later I came to know, Pakistan was supporting an effort put forward by Western forces against the Taliban's movements after 9/11. Pakistan let US use it's border areas to attack Taliban. But then how came such a thing can happen? Then again, the excuse that can be made is that the post was in the disputed area of eastern Afghanistan. Pakistani officials condemned this "completely unprovoked and cowardly act of the coalition.
Now, Pakistan has lodged a strong protest against coalition... could this help anyone out there. I don't think Pakistan can do much about what happened on it's western border. But for me, it would be, "What would India do if any such thing happens?" Though, in first place, India won't offer such support to any country. It has a diplomatic strategy towards all nations. If this were not the case and India were supporting western forces in such an activity, what would India do. Well... I can't suggest anything, only the time will tell. Hope no such situations will arise to the country.

Now, that has to be some thing to be taken seriously. I certainly didn't know this aspect of the things. There's always a difference and there'll always be, now, let me explain that:

Well, it's not much difficult for many people to dig. Dig what..? Like digging a canal or something. Many people can point out that digging a canal is not always an easy job, you always have many details which you must take care of, such as, it's depth, width and material used. Particularly all the technical details that can make a canal as it should be.

But then, this is not the ultimate idea. The idea is if there should be a canal at that place or not. What all benefits this can generate... and how will it change the environment where it's going to be built.

That's the difference... It's not important, how exactly you implement an idea... but how is the idea going to change the life of those who are connected to it... either directly or indirectly...
