P.S. I loveD you '13

If 2013 was a person I would describe it as someone with whom I have a love - hate relationship(kind of kill you first and then take your name). When we met, it was a love at first sight. Thought everything will be fine from now onwards. but you around there somewhere in between started breaking the promises and sometimes dreams, sometimes hopes, Just to make me stronger. It may sound a long journey but it was just a second.

You don’t remember anything when you fall in love but you remember every detail when you are falling out of it, that was the second half of 2013. So, Miss 2013 took me to great places and in my imaginations the whole world. We had a good chance of being together but then I expected too much out of you and that was just the truth..with the cold breeze of December here you were looking at me but I was lost somewhere else, I took another ticket to find you, but realized you have left the old place. And now you are just a history, intact in my memory. 

My memory loves you, often asks about you. I talk about you with my best friend 2014, she loves to hear about you (she just nods in a hope) because that gives me happiness and she cares. We still have time(18 days or so) and we will make it great together.
I will bid adieu with a smile, I promise.
You are beautiful, always will be. You will be missed.

How to make MAC write on NTFS drive

By default Mac OS can only read NTFS, it cannot write to it.
Follow these steps to write on your NTFS disk(tested with MAC 10.8.5).
1. open Terminal
2. ls /Volumes/
    you can see all available Disks name.
3. Now I assume your external hard-disk name is "Mantosh Harddisk".
    diskutil info /Volumes/Mantosh Harddisk
     Now you must be seeing all the info related with your disk.
4. sudo vi /etc/fstab
    This is a system file, that's why you need to use sudo.
5. write the below line in this file.
    LABEL=Mantosh\040Harddisk none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse 
    \040 is for space in hard-disk name.
    (if LABEL is not supported in your system, you can use UUID=NUMBER none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse)
6. Quit Terminal and Now, just unmount and re-mount the disk.

Wait a minute, I don’t see my disk listed in the Finder window!

As of Mountain Lion, the “nobrowse” mount option is required for this to work. This means that the partition will not show up on your desktop. However, you can access it normally through Finder by doing the following:

• Open Terminal and type “open /Volumes/THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_VOLUME” (without the quotes)
• The Finder pops up automatically and you can see your disk listed there.

OR simply format your hard-disk to FAT file system.

Solution: To change a local variable in Pdb

In the previous post, I had mentioned the problem. This is happening because the cache of the current frame gets  overridden by the contents of the real locals which undoes modifications made by the debugging user.

To have a solution for this issue, you need to make changes in your installed python package. Here are the steps.
Note: This change will be effective for Python 2.4 version(Tested with this version only)
1.  Login your mach as a root user.
2.  cd /usr/lib
3.  chmod 777 python2.4/pdb.py
4.  cp python2.4/pdb.py YOUR_BACKUP_LOC (Do not forget to have a backup of this file. We are going to make changes in this file)
5.  Make changes in /usr/lib/python2.4/pdb.py as said below.
6.  chmod 755  python2.4/pdb.py

Changeset for pdb.py.

Changing a local variable in the Python debugger

I know that there is some issue with pdb debugger when you try to change a local variable.
But while trying to get any possible workaround, encountered this.
Have a look at it.

In the above case, local variable x has been changed in pdb mode. All I did was not to stop at any point after changing this variable.

Now look at this.

Here local variable has not been changed. Here after changing its value to "hello" all I did was to go stepwise. Even tried again to change it to "exper" but that also didn't work.

This has been a long-standing issue, dating back at least to this 2004 post on this topic.  There must be some temporary patch available for this.

Look for my new post. As soon as I find the fix, will post that here.

Indirect Data Forwarding Tunnel

>> Indirect data forwarding is needed only in case there is no user-plane available between Source eNB to Target eNB/Target-Rnc.

>> Indirect tunnel is created between
Source eNB - Source SGW - Target SGW - Target eNB.

>> Used for forwarding the buffered traffic from old-eNB, Here MME can select a new SGW to forward this traffic.
i.e Source eNB -- New SGW - Target SGW - Target eNB.
The New SGW being selected acts just a next-hop router.

The Mother India

Just finished reading a book on Indira Gandhi. I always liked her and appreciated her as one of the finest and the courageous leader our country ever had. Almost all(not all) her decisions were justified by our country situation and necessity at that time. She has always been my role model since the time I got my little brain functioning.

Given the power and chance to rewrite history I would like to change just one instance i.e. rewrite the page of 31st Oct 1984, the day Indira took her last breath, the day she got assassinated. I am least bothered or feel upset losing any political leader whether it is Gandhi or anybody, but have an emotional and compassionate feeling for losing her. To me, losing her hurts like losing my own mother.

Perhaps she felt the steps of coming death. "If I die today, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation"- this was the last speech she gave on 30th Oct ’84.

I observe this date as analogous to Muharram for us Indians. She died protecting the integrity of our nation. 31st Oct- Rashtriya Sankalp Diwas (National Integration Day) that we observe every year, this name conveys everything.

 

Rest in Peace Mother Indira. We will always miss you and your presence. You will live forever in our heart.
