My Running Affair

The legend has it that in the year 490 BC the Persians tried to invade Greece. The war was fought between the citizens of Athens and a mighty Persian army in the battlefields of Marathon. The Greek army decisively defeated the more numerous Persians. The news of victory was instantly shared with Athenians by WhatsApp. It was instantly a worldwide top trend over the twitter, Instagram was flooded with gruesome picture of mutilated Persian soldiers. Oh! sorry there was no internet back then, not even telephone or a radio. So, they used their own fastest mode of communication.
Pheidippides. No, it’s not an app. He was a human being, just like you and me, who was tasked to run from Marathon to Athens and share the good news with the Spartans. It is said that he ran the entire distance without stopping and burst into the assembly “Joy to you, we have won.” And then and there he died breathing his last breath with the words “joy to you “.  The joy experienced by him was not just of the victory of Greeks over Persians but must also have been intensified by what is called as the runners high. Simply put, it is the happy feeling we experience when we run. But those who have experienced this state of pure bliss also call it fulfillment, zero gravity, invincibility and even Nirvana. Who wouldn’t want to nirvana? And who wouldn’t want nirvana for free? So did I. The day I learned about this free high I started reading everything about it. 

The scientists have found out that during long runs our brain pumps out endorphins and endocannabinoids which make us happy, relive pain and just lift our mood.  I just had to try this out. I had a huge advantage with me. I live just next to the only clean lake they still have left in Bangalore. The first day I tried running I couldn’t even run for a single minute. I was completely out of breath. Exhausted. I looked around me, the lake has a beautiful park and it is littered with joggers every morning. I saw a group of Uncles at least 6 of them, all out of shape, all 40 plus, jogging comfortably chatting with each other. I thought how is this even possible? They went past me. I sat on the nearest bench. A few minutes passed, and this group of uncles returned going all the way from the other end of the park. This park is huge. From one end to other it is well over a kilometer.  I was just sitting there and saw them going past me again and again. I had to find out how can these people run miles with no effort and I couldn’t even do a few meters. I started reading more about running and stumbled upon a program called Couch to 5K. It is a fantastic program designed to get anyone, including people like me who have no running experience, from couch to running 5km or 30 minutes in 9 weeks. I decided to give it a try. First couple of weeks I struggled, somehow managed to do half of what was asked. Then I went home for a vacation and my first attempt to C25K was over, so my passion for running, at least for a while. I was still going to the park in the morning just to enjoy the cool morning breeze. I was still seeing people running miles and secretly having a nirvana. Slowly the latent desire sparked again, and I started my second attempt. Failed again. And again. Every couple of weeks I would follow the program and other couple of weeks I would be too lazy to even get up from the bed. However slowly I graduated to week 5 of the program, not in 5 weeks, may be in a year altogether. This week 5 is the biggest hurdle.  Up until week 4 the program only asks you to run for at most 5 to 7 mins at a stretch. But in week 5 you have to run a full 20 minutes non-stop. I was pretty confident that I will fail miserably. I will at most run 10 min and then will be looking for the nearest bench to catch my breath. Anyways, I thought let’s do it, let’s see how far I can go. Guess what?? To my utter astonishment, I ran for a full 20 mins non-stop. I was exhausted, but I was in a bliss. I had my nirvana. 

Now I can run 10Ks with ease, I have participated in a 10k race. I have got a medal too. My first ever medal in athletics.   And so far, I have done a maximum of 15k nonstop run.

Major ETL Tools

BODS/  SAP Data Services

SDA

SLT

SDI

BODS

works with any source and any target, most widely used ETL tool. It focuses on Batch performance, connectivity to any source and any target also provides fairly complex transformations.

Project Use

Source: flat files of two type delimited and fixed width
Target : SAP HANA tables (columnar ) called landing layer

Transformation : mostly 1 to 1 direct mapping, cleansing like removal of trailing white spaces, leading zeros, junk characters .

Structure :

JOBS -  Workflow - Data flow - Pre-processor - Post processor


SDA

(Smart Data Access) enables use of virtual tables in HANA,  These are HANA objects that point to an external table and provides data remotely to HANA, does not store any data in HANA. It is just a pointer to a remote table.

Project Use: Get ECC reference data like province code, activity code, contract treatment code etc.

How to :

Creating virtual table
                Right click, -> new virtual table
                Browse -> select table

Creating Data sources
               Provisioning-> Remote Source -> Create new remote Source
               Provide connection details
               Run


Connection managed by separate team

SLT/SDI not used


SDI
 Smart Data Integration, SAP built all in one solution for all data provisioning needs
Any source target is only HANA
 Supports batch and real time
allows transformation

SLT SAP Landscape Transformation
 Trigger based Data replication from any source  to HANA
Real time
Source ECC
Target HANA

Data Science Voyage Notes - 1

I have started with Udacity course on Problem Solving with Advanced Analytic.

Today I completed lesson 1 of this course on the Analytical Problem Solving Framework.

This course introduces the CRISP-DM methodology or the Cross Industry Process for Data Mining, initially built for data mining problem but useful for all types of business problems. The framework used in this course is generalized from CRISP-DM.

This framework uses a six step process for problem solving 

1. Business Issue Understanding
2. Data Understanding
3. Data Preparation
4. Analysis/ Modelling
5. Validation
6. Presentation

Interview preprations SAP HANA Day 1

Questions :

Q 1 : Difference between Catalog and Content folder in SAP HANA Studio project explorer.

The Catalog View gives a view on the runtime objects of the database artifacts. The first level you see under this view is the schema to which the runtime objects are assigned. In case you create e.g. a table using DDL statement CREATE TABLE you see created runtime object for the table under the schema which was used in the statement (but the table is not visible in the Content view).

The Content View gives a view on the design time objects of e.g. database artifacts (and further static content) stored in the HANA repository (therefore the objects are also called repository objects). Under the Content View the design time objects are organized in packages (1 to n levels). The activation of a design time object for a database object leads to the creation of the runtime object in the specified database schema. So if you create e.g. a table via an hdbtable artifact (e.g. mypackage.test.TestTable.hdbtable) and activate it you can see in the Content view the design time object "TestTable.hdbtable" in package "mypackage.test" and in the Catalog view under the schema you defined in the design object the runtime object "mypackage.test::TestTable".

Q2:  Difference Between HANA Modeler and Developer

Modeler perspective 

You can model entities in SAP HANA using the Modeler perspective, which includes graphical data modeling tools that allow you to create and edit data models (content models) and stored procedures. With these tools, you can also create analytic privileges that govern the access to the models, and decision tables to model related business rules in a tabular format for decision automation.

You can create the following types of information views:

● Attribute Views 

● Analytic Views 

● Calculation Views

Task that can be performed using Modeler Perspective 

Task	Meaning
Import metadata	Create tables by importing the table definitions from the source systems using the Data Services infrastructure.
Load data	Load data into the table definitions imported from the source system using the Load Controller, SAP Sybase Replication Server or SAP Landscape Transformation, and from flat files.
Create packages	Logically group objects together in a structured way.
Create information views	Model various slices of the data stored in the SAP HANA database. Information views are often used for analytical use cases, such as operational data mart scenarios or multidimensional reporting on revenue, profitability, and so on.
Create procedures	Create procedures using SQLScript for implementing a complex logic that cannot be achieved using other objects.
Create analytic privileges	Control which data that individual users sharing the same data foundation or view can see.
Import SAP BW objects	Import SAP BW objects into SAP HANA, and expose them as information views.
Create decision tables	Create a tabular representation of related rules using conditions and actions.
Import and export objects	Import and export the content objects from and to the client and server location.

Development Perspective 

Used for programming applications, that is, creating development objects that access or update the data models, such as server-side JavaScript or HTML files.

Provides views and menu options that enable you to perform all the tasks relating to application development on SAP HANA XS, for example: to manage application-development projects, display content of application packages, and browse the SAP HANA repository. You can also define your data-persistence model here by using design-time artifacts to define tables, views, sequences, and schemas.

Rant

I have absolutely no idea what humanity is.
So far my interactions with fellow human beings have been utterly disappointing. I have not found a single person who actually has a world view which he genuinely believes in. Everyone just seems to be herded like sheep's by the society.
What's the point in compromising one's values ideals for being socially acceptable. I would personally live my entire life alone then change my self to please others.

Data Science Voyage Notes - 0

Folks,

I have been thinking of what to do with my free time which wasn't particularly enough until a few weeks back. but now it seems that i am gonna have enough to do something productive.

I have spent a good chuck of my free time doing strange stuffs for past years. Didn't attach my self to anything religiously but I did teach myself at least two useful skills; I became a self proclaimed multi-cuisine master chef and completed c25k from no previous running experiences.

Having satisfied myself with developing personal skills, now for next few months I am planning to enhance my professional skills.  I have been browsing various online universities and portals like Coursera, Khan Academy, Open SAP and Udacity. Have tried a quite a few different courses. completed a couple with records of achievement. Now finally i have decide to dive deep, and teach my self data science. I do have an ambition to finally get myself a degree in data science (online ). For that I have zeroed on the Udacity nano-degree in data science  and today I have officially begun my new learning voyage

The journey begins, wish me luck.

Peace.

Who am I

I have started living alone now. I do not have any roomies. Now it just me and my solitude. in a more poetic way

bas main or meri tanhai.

Its been a few months since I have assumed this life style and now i believe that it as given me ample opportunities to reflect upon my own personality. since there is nothing much to do now, specially to appease fellow homo sapiens, i reflect a lot upon what my world views are, what is my idea of life.

After all this churning and manthan  I have realized that i absolutely do not fit in  the genre of homo sapiens that inhabit Earth.

The worst part is that i am not even able to completely express my self, probably not even partially. There is nothing which unites me with my fellow dwellers of this planet.
I do not understand why and how people become fanatics of sports clubs and believe that they are doing something good for their country. When in reality all sports clubs are just a business organisation. They just have a name which relates to a certain geographic location apart from that there is no other relationship between the club and the region. It would have made a little sense had the government of that region been involved in that club but no even the government treats the club just as a private organisation.

This is just one aspect of my disassociation with society there are many others.

May be ill use this blog to rant and vent out my philosophies stay tuned, some more rants may flow on Geek Gibberish

Peace.

LeTV User Review, after 24 hours hands on experience

Hello

I just bought a LeTV 1s and since theres a lot of hype around this device i thought of doing a user review for the folks out there still thinking about buying this phone.

Ill give t you the spoiler right in the beginning, IMO this phones worth every single penny. 

The most popular con about this phoneon news website and professional reviewers has been heating issue. to be honest i did not find the phone to be getting extraordinarily hot. The highest battery temperature I saw was 35C, nothing to be complaining about.

Letv 1s geek bench score

Multi tasking is superb, It has the best GeekBench score for Multi-Core.

Battery is also  good enough to provide juice for entire day, charging is not as fast as claimed.I had asphalt running on my phone for 10 plus hours, on a 4g/3g network still i got a backup for around 22 hours with 4 hours of screen on time . I got 30% charge  from 3% in around 20 min but getting a full charge took one and a half hours 

Apart from that every thing else is already in public domain. There's no competition with this phone in build quality at the same price segment, may be Redmi Note 3. but the reviews of China version wasnt that impressive.

LeTV internal Storage

This phone gives an available storage of more than 22 GB

The Good, The Bad and The Worst in Windows 10

Hello Folks!!

Ill start with a big thanks to microsoft for letting us have windows 10 for free and immidietly after its release. Since I believe I am one of the earliest users of this OS and there aint much info ATM about win10 out there, i decided to do this post and share my experience so far with this new beast.

Let me first mention the the part which i have hated badly fo far, the part whch i really really hate and wish that MS fixes it soon, coz apart from that i am kindda loving this OS. Why on earth do you force updates download. Your product is also being used in places where bandwidth is pretty precious and we cant have MS keep download useles updates in the back ground when we have some serious work to attend to. Yes folks in Windows 10 MicroSoft has forced windows updates to be automatically download without even an option to delay it. So when Windows 10 wants to get updated you have no say in that. you might be in the middle of sending a really important email wth a few attachments over a limited bandwidth connection whch has to be sent now, but no you cant send it unles you first download a 500 MB update. It awfully PATHETIC PEROID.
Micro Soft please, please fix this ASAP.

Ok now coming to the best part, they have finally put in the sart button back, and it looks good, works good , provides all useful features. and the horrible fullscreen version in windows has been trashed, Kudos Windows 10.

Now some other good parts
Cortana looks good except that i dont know how much RAM it eats sitting there, what is the use of her is still not clear to me. I hope that it hasnt been added just as an imitaion of google now and Siri.

Overall the UI  is quite intutive. I can even play candy crush on PC now, but hey wheres the oldy Solitair havent found it yet, (but havent been looking for it either)

The summary: Ill give windows 10 a rating of 7 / 10

PS I also hate the new settings in windows 10.

Peace

MI 4i Kaisa Hai

Hello logon!!

apni hinglish ke support ko badhawa dene ke liye soch ki aaj ek naya post kar liya jaye.

naya naya ekdum mast phone launch kiya hia MI ne to socha ki uski hi ek review daal di jaye

MI 4i ka daam rakha hai 12999 matlab pure 13000 rupay.

lekin boss ek baat to hai is rate me itna kuchh aur koi nahi de raha Asus ne bhi jo 13000 ka phone launch kiya hai woh kafi competitive hai but display and processor me MI 4i ka koi muqabla nahi hai ekdum phod dali hai asus ki xiaomi ne.

aur moto ya samsung to is ke aas paas bhi nahi ata.

xiaomi ki sabse badi problem hoti hai battery life, ab is ki battery kaisi chalegi ye to phone ke market me aane ke baad hi pata chale ga. waise kaun se android smart phone ki battery koi achhi chalti hai  

abhi tak jaisa dekh ne se lag raha hai us hisab se to 15k ke neeche yeh best phone hai lene ke liye

Xiaomi MI 4i ka specification ek nazar me 

 

Dhanyawaad Shukriya Thanks

Hi Folks,

Shukriya

Sab se pahle mere sare visitors ko bahut bahut thanks, maine aaj dekha ki mera blog ki total visit 10,000 ko paar kar chuki hai.

Par ab lagta hia ki aap logon ki twajjuh ka khayal rakhte huwe ise regulary update karna chahiye. jisse logon ko kuchh aida ho.

Maine socha hai ki english me to hazaron blogs hain aur internet bhara pada hai tarah tarh ki information se, magar kai log aise hain jo english achhi tarah se nahi samajh paate magar internet par aur computer par english script ka hi istemaal likkhe padhne ke liye asaan hai. isi ko dhayan me rakhte huwe maine soch hia ki ab is blog pe apne nayi zabaan Hinglish me hi update karon ga. take jo mere jaise log hain jinhe english script padhna sabse asaan lagta hai magar hindi/Urdu samajhna aur bolna english me baaaten karne se zada pasand hai, unke liye ek platfform banadon.

Bas aaj ke liye itna kaafi hai.

Please mujhe apne batayen ki aap kin chizon ko padhna pasand karenge. Comments section aap ke hi liye hai.

Webyog Interview Question 2014

Hi Guys,

I know its been ages since i last updated this blog. Thanks to a reader I finally have sat down to do a new post. I have another first hand account of webyog interview, this time from a reader who sat on  14th Sept 2014. Here is what she commented on the last years post i paste it here as it is.

I have written the webyog test on 14th sept, 2014. There was no question related to aptitude. Questions were as follows:

1. Which feature in C/C++/Java you don't like? Give a suggestion to make it better.

2. What is class? How classes help into improving programing.

There were 8 questions from coding. Each two were from C, Java, Java script and Dot net. You have to attempt any 4 questions.

3. Search and remove a particular node from linked list. (C/C++)

4. If a user enters any number then you have to print the English name of that number.
example : 1 -> one
                   120 -> one hundred twenty
                   8760 -> eight thousand seven hundred sixty

5. What is the best way in java to search and remove duplicates. Give a sample program.

6.Given two arrays : {1,2,3,4,5} and {2,3,0,1,5}
Find the element in second array which is not present in first array in java.

7. ) delete the duplicate words in the following sentence in java script
     this is is very very good


I only could remember these question. There were 10 questions total. Time duration was 60 min. Thanks

 I have decided to do a new post for this so that its more accessible. And Special thanks for my special reader. Read, Learn and Share

Last years questions are still available here Webyog interview questions

eLitmus Software Developer interview questions

I'm back once again, and in this post i'll be sharing Question asked in the first round of recruitment drive held by eLitmus for the post of Software developer. This paper is purely memory based and only one set, whatever I had access to when I sat for this drive.

Hope you find it useful. Here it goes...

eLitmus Interview Questions

1>     Write an algorithm to reverse an String word by word (Not character by character) E.g. Given String is “I work for eLitmus, and I am 21 years old!”

Output should be : “o ldye ars amIande, Lit m us 21 forwo rkI!”

Description: only alphabets should change their positions , special characters should retain their initial positions.

There are to methods give is_alphabet(char) returns true if char is alphabet

And reverse(String)    reverses the string like “eLitmus” becomes “sumtiLe”

2>     A puzzle which was very confusing I didn’t understand a thing.

3>     There are five dices to display dates like 17APR

Face having 6 is used interchangeably for 6 and 9. Letter dices have letter without repeat to display all months in that format except Aug which is represented by VAC

Find all digits on dice having 6 and all letters on dice having letter L

4>

Three table having relational database of movie reviews. We have to write two SQL queries both involve join and one self-join.

5: Which data base will be best suited for storing recent History in a web browser. Justify your answer.

6: pre order to post order binary tree 

Technology JK

7: which online portals you use to keep yourself updated with technical news. List all.

8: List open source technologies developed by a) Facebook b)Google apart from android c)Oracle d)Twitter e)Microsoft

9) Which of these is not a mobile OS a)Bada b)FirefoxOS c)WebOS d)PhoneGap e)Symbian

 Keep checking back for more. And  dont forget to like, share and comment or else I might end up not bothering with updating my blog.

Peace.

 

Reversing string in c using pointers

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

void print_reverse_string(const char *str)
{
    const char *src = str + strlen(str);
    while (src > str)
        putchar(*--src);
}

void reverse_string_and_print(char *str)
{
    char *src = str;
    char *end = src + strlen(src) - 1;
    while (end > src)
    {
        char t = *end;
        *end-- = *src;
        *src++ = t;
    }
    //return str;
   printf("%s", str);
}

char* reverse_string(char *str)
{
    char *src = str;
    char *end = src + strlen(src) - 1;
    while (end > src)
    {
        char t = *end;
        *end-- = *src;
        *src++ = t;
    }

   return str;
   //printf("%s", str);
}

int  main(void){

    char data[50]= "";

    printf("Enter any string:\n");

    gets(data);

    printf("%s\n", data);
    printf("%s \n", reverse_string(data));
    printf("%s\n", data);

    return(0);
}

I have written the abbove code to reverse an string using pointers. I assume that the above code is self explanatory but still if you want any clarification use the comment section below post.

Finding a job in Bangalore: First Challenge

Hi

I know that there are lakhs of Berozgaar Engineers like me all over India. I  also know that most of us (Berozgaar Engineers ) have either already made a pilgrimage to Mecca of IT industry in India, Bangalore, or planning to do it pretty soon. If you are like me I have got some really valuable info for you. I am not at all kanjoos I am gonna share what ever I have learned in my past couple of months of stay in Bangalore.

Now to begin with, the reason which brought me to Bangalore was that I got a whooping 95 percentile in eLitmus test and withing a week got an interview call from Webyog. You can read about eLitmus pH test and webyog interview in my previous posts. So packed up and decide to leave for IT Mecca immediately.

The first challenge.

Getting a railway ticket to or from Bangalore is never easy, specially if you have to travel in shirt notice. And finding one is almost impossible when you have to travel the next day. Now first advice while you read the first challenge.  If you are still planning to come to Bangalore get your ticket in advance, at least one month before you are actually traveling. Continuing with my story. There were no tickets available not even waiting list. Now tatkal was the only option left.

I tried consulting with who ever I could, got some very useful information. As you might know as per the current rules Tatkal Tickets are only available one day in advance and that too after 10:00. But the interesting part is that the queue starts from 5 in the morning. Since I had to get my ticket anyhow I woke up at 4 and sped off on my ambition with lots of ambition to reservation counter almost in the middle of the night. For some of us Btechs the exact time we go to sleep. Reached there at around five and no I was not the first person in the queue, there were around 18 people before me already. Now we had to wait until ten when the counters open.

Just before ten, after some dhakka mukki and gaali galaoj queue was formed and reservation forms distributed. Exactly at ten the counters opened and number of available tickets began to drop like leave in autumn. There were total around 200 tickets. At 10:01 around 130 left, at 10:05 70 left. My heart pounding, if a doctor had taken my pulse at that time he would have definitely started my diagnosis for exterem blood pressure. I reached the counter at 10:10 and guess what? there were still 30 berths vacant, finally I got my reservation confirmed and happily returned home.

Now it was time to do packing.

Second advice: Don't count on tatkal reservation any more. Some one has written some bots for making reservation through IRCTC and a lot of agents are using it so now within a minute all tickets get sold out. And if you get to lay your hands on that bot please do share it with me too.

I think that's all I can write right now.  More to come very soon.

Peace

And there are links right at the bottom of this post to share this and all other post on all social networks , have a look. Please share it.

How to protect your password from someone looking over your shoulder

Hi again

I just figured out an awesome hack.  You must have experienced this. You entering your password in a smartphone and someone, a friend, a sibling, just looking over your shoulder.

No just shoulder jacking typing a password in smart phone has always been a headache anyways. Now the hack that I am going to tell you will allow you to enter your password in front of anyone with the confidence that no one will ever get to know it.

What you have to do is use Swype or Swift keypad, I believe both apps are available on all major smartphone platforms. Just search for it in the store.

Now, they give you the liberty to add your own words to the dictionary. Go to the washroom, lock the door and in complete solitude save your password to dictionary.

That's it. Now you can enter your password anywhere , with the whole world watching and still nobody ever getting to know your password by looking over your shoulder.

Hope you enjoyed this hack.


Peace.

CGI fresher recruitment drive

CGI Group has been recruiting freshers through eLitmus. Most of their recruitment drives are conducted by eLitmus. In this post I'll discuss how CGI recruitment drive is carried out.

There were all together four rounds. Ill be discussing each in details.

First Round: Aptitude Test

First round was an aptitude test. The difficulty level was not too hard and you had to do only 12 out of 25 questions to qualify for the next round. Yes there was a specified cut-off marks. No negative markings. The most distinct part of the aptitude test was that there were a few questions from Operation Research . There were questions from Traveling Salesman problem, Shortest path algorithm etc.

Round Two: Group Discussion

This round was a simple group discussion round. In total there were about 10 - 11 candidates in each group.Emphasis was on communication skills and not the content of your idea. Every one was given a chance to speak and the whole discussion was lead by the coordinator. There was no chance of it becoming a machli bazaar.

Round Three: Personal Interview

In this round, it was a one to one face to face interview. Questions were basically from your resume. They'll ask a lot of question about your final year project. Your proficiencies in programming languages etc. Well they at least interviewed me in that way.  They person who went before me was interviewed only in 5 minutes and not selected. So make sure you don't blow it up just by walking in. My interview ran over half an hour.

Round Four: HR Interview

No idea what happened there, I didn't make it to this round.

That's it and please don't ask me exactly what they give in aptitude test I don't have that sharp memory.

Peace.
