There are many things to be shared with you all. But, I have been occupied in various things for a few days.This will continue for a few more days.
Don’t miss me until then 🙂

We’ve done Technical workshops, Philosophy sessions, Candle held parades, and even Rock shows! Why?
God: An effigy,symbolizing all the aspirations of every individual’s ultimate fantasies,like omnipotence,omnipresence and omniscience.
God has been,and still grows to be an insignia,which we weaklings want to look up to, and feel assured that there’s an invisible divine power taking care of us, so that we can happily shrug away from the responsibilities of our own.
Men: By men, here, i include all humans, including the better half of the world 😉 We,the people, are the puppets with consciousness, who till our end do not realize the purpose of life, and spend lives chasing futility wrapped and presented to us in the name of God, religion and hollow spirituality.
Godmen: Shrewed opportunists, who take advantage of an advantageous situation offered to them. They are not to be blamed at all,these are the people who are enlightened. Yes, they are enlightened about the stupidity of people, and, they proceed to do the appropriate.
The interactions between the above three,in today’s world is the farthest digression from the natural and instinctual cravings of humans in all ways.
It professes irony, and practices paradoxical perturbations, to push people into delusion and an almost ubiquitous paranoia, which ultimately people fail to recognize.
Conclusion, with a caption:
Is it,
“God save the world of men!”
or,should it be
“Save the world from God, men and Godmen :P”
(Can be a good T-shirt quote!!!)
Breakthroughs, at personal and professional levels, and at regular intervals are quintessential for us as individuals to fare better in our roles.
Breakthroughs occuring to individuals are ephemeral in nature. The positive impact of such occurrences doesn’t last long,it is impulsive. We need to experience them regularly to keep ourselves focussed and confined to deliver our best,and also to push ourselves beyond what we see as the horizon at those epochal points of time in our lives. It also becomes a motivator of the purest form, which keeps us driving to do more instigated by the sheer proven ability of us.
On the other hand,lack of breakthroughs can cause a dip in confidence levels. This leads the mind to go sway in search of alternatives to unworthy accomplishments. A complex complex takes form within us, which confuses the self and derails the thought-action train of activities.
Antidote to such drought hit state of breakthroughs is – either to grow numb towards these lacunae, or to aspire for a personality which would converge to that of a highfaluting poltroon!
Again, to reiterate the point of the post, breakthroughs in one’s life are like hopping stones, where every subsequent stone is to be laid by us. We can either choose to rest on any of these stones without knowing what awaits us at the end, or to continue hopping over these breakthroughs to rendezvous the purpose of one’s life 🙂
Although,to some, I might seem a hermit-like specimen who doesn’t show unusual attachment towards people, I treasure my own small section of people, who carry utmost beautiful personalities.
I’m lucky to be a part of this extraordinary system between us, a system with no false pretensions but with genuine affection, care and admiration as the bond. We know each other in certain ways that no one else who claims to know us individually would know about. There is no question of trust amongst us, for, trust seeps in where there is doubt. But, this almost Utopian entourage of ours is doubtless…
Off late,we do not interact as much as we used to,nevertheless,the warmth between us still remains the same.
I deeply miss those times,which, without warning have passed by and, today these memories have softened the carapace of the voluntary oblivion which I had pulled over myself,revealing my yearnings of what I will, at any point of time in my life call ♫ The best days of my life ♫
Rules and regulations, law and order, another ‘n’ number of standards and all the other collectively denominating factors seeking to bring order amidst the natural chaos in society are, by virtue of their existence ineffective and irrelevant. There can be nothing on this earth that can be imposed absolutely on people by people, and further seeking their compliance to it is absurd.
All the uniformities observed amongst us is instilled in our nature by Mother Nature. One such important trait present in our nature is the definite tendency not to conform to any artificially induced attempts of collective and common groundings.
Yet, another irony of the system called civilized society is, it incessantly is engaged in a counter-effective manner trying to bring repelling dissimilarities of individuals together.
Chaos is the only Universal law, and we being a part of this chaos, cannot strive against the ‘whole’ of which we are a part of. And,if we do try bringing together people of varied levels of skills and talents to conform and comply with a common axiom, it is similar to the net effect of resistances in parallel: The effective quality of such a herd would be lesser than the least;)
We are at full throttle of our potentials when left untamed and uninfluenced by the frivolous etiquette of the society…
Okay !!!
Finally,the first Technical post on my blog, for, there seems to be lot of demand for this particular tweak.
Reliance Netconnect CDMA1x USB modems – ZTE MG880, manufactured by ZTE, “supposedly” come supported only for M$ Windows , but, I have got it working on GNU/Linux OS – Ubuntu with help from various online forums.
Additional Prerequisites in Ubuntu (I’m running 9.04):
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
$dmesg (don’t bother about the elaborate o/p after executing this command)
3.Now, execute the next command and look for ZTE and the corresponding device id and vendor id.
$cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
I found these for my modem(it’s the same for most ZTE mg880) -vendor id:0x19d2; product id: 0xfffd
4. Next, perform a modprobe to make the kernel aware of the modem
$sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0xfffd
5. After modprobe, run a dmesg again,and if the modem has been detected there will be a message saying that the USB core driver has been registered
6.Next, comes configuring the wvdial. To do this, run the following command
$sudo wvdialconf
To detect the modem wvdial will scan through all the serial ports, check the baud rates and give a message with the optimum baud rate and the port on which modem has been detected.
7. Now comes editing the wvdial config.
$sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit the contents to:
[Dialer zte]
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = #777
Username =
Password =
#username and password is your modem’s phone number
ISDN = 0
SetVolume = 0
FlowControl = Hardware (CRTSCTS)
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Dial Command = ATDT
Baud = 9600
#Baud rate might vary
Stupid Mode = 1
If I were to tell you, when things are told in a simple manner they actually lose out the aura they deserve, and are perceived to be something mediocre. And if the same presented in a manner which people would remotely understand, the content is considered to be of high intellectual caliber.Wouldn’t you agree with me?
The natural tendency of our minds is to believe that complicated is clever and simple is stupid!
‘Complicated is Clever’ might be true only when done intentionally, and not to mention that it takes immense effort to keep things plain simple, and it is the anything but being stupid.
Complications,when voluntarily invoked to make things seem obscure by the presenter to manipulate the naive receptors is ‘simply’ effective. This is the best possible manner to convey a thing,but at the same time not conveying it 😉
Having experimented this successfully many times in several sensitive situations, I seem to be getting cleverer (at least in this regard;)
Obscurity is a skill; As in,not about being lost in the obscurity of ignorance,but to draw the required into your realm in a convincing but obscure manner to make things go favorable to you….It does take skill….
Like intellect and thought, another privilege bestowed on us by Nature is the ability to get obsessed with few special things. Obsession is the deepest human trait, and is one of the most intriguing attributes of us.
I believe that, being able to get inspired by any special thing, and to pursue it with immense passion is a privilege. Obsession is one of the things which has driven people to create history and make a mark on all our lives.
At personal levels, each one of us would definitely have few precious things to be obsessed about, and which would channelize our thoughts, efforts and actions converge to the perpetuation of these obsessions. And, this is is one of the most basic traits we as humans should exhibit.
But, while conversing with people, regularly and quite often, I get to hear almost a remorseful confession-
I don’t remember anything that I have been deeply passionate about in my life…
This is a ubiquitous scenario in today’s world of haste and hate, where people seldom find time or the patience to pursue something they really love. This is unnatural and by the virtue of this anomaly it deteriorates the quality of life we live….
So,
Find time, inculcate patience and grow passion to do what you really want to do.
And, this is the only thing you are obliged to do for being born as a human 🙂
PS: The image above- The Old Guitarist is one of my favorite paintings by Pablo Picasso. A legend, obsessed by his creativity pursued the same. Look at the mark he’s left behind on all of us 🙂
