Thought of the day

The greatest task for any person is to find meaning in his or her life. I saw following possible sources for meaning:

• in work (doing something significant)
• in love (caring for another person)
• in courage (doing what was right even in difficult times)
• in acceptance (learning to move ahead with experiences from my mistakes and failures)

PS: this one again came from my sister :-)

8 questions and a why: Seth Godin

Who are you trying to please?
What are you promising?
How much money are you trying to make?
How much freedom are you willing to trade for opportunity?
What are you trying to change?
What do you want people to say about you?
Which people?
Do we care about you?
(and after each answer, ask 'why?')

shayari

मुझसे कहा खुदा ने, मत कर इन्तजार इस जनम में उसका मिलना मुश्किल है
मैंने भी कह दिया, लेने दे मजा इन्तजार का अगले जनम में तो मुमकिन है

उसने कहा, मत कर इतना प्यार बहोत पछतायेगा
मुश्कुरा के मैंने कहा, देखते हैं तू कितना मेरी रूह को तड्पाएगा

फिर उसने कहा, हटा उसे चल तुझे जन्नत की हूर से मिलवाता हूँ
मैंने कहा, आ नीचे देख मेरे प्यार का मुस्कुराता चेहरा तुझे जन्नत की हूर भुल्वाता हूँ

तिलमिलाकर कहा उसने, मत भूल अपनी औकात कि आखिर तू है तो एक इंसान
मैंने कहा "तो मिला दे मुझसे मेरे प्यार को और साबित कर कि तू ही है भगवान्"

In my school days, I used to love those calculus problems with limit x tending to infinity. It still looks funny how a delta (tending to 0) brings meaning to something totally nonsense (like 1 divided by 0).

GAE locked transactions issue

We were facing certain issues while deploying on GAE, our application had some failed transactions and was complaining about locked transactions. Just thought the following information might be helpful and handy at a later date.

Locate your <GAE_INSTALLATION_FOLDER>. If you are using eclipse plugin you would find appengine sdk in <ECLIPSE_DIR>\plugins\com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle.<SOME_VERSION>\appengine-java-sdk-<SOME_OTHER_VERSION>

To rollback go to your eclipse installation folder and issue the following command:

<GAE_INSTALLATION_FOLDER>\bin>appcfg.cmd --email=<gmail_id_OR_google_apps_email_id> --passin rollback <GAE_APP_ROOT_FOLDER>\war

To update/deploy on GAE do the following:

<GAE_INSTALLATION_FOLDER>\bin>appcfg.cmd --email=<gmail_id_OR_google_apps_email_id> --passin update <GAE_APP_ROOT_FOLDER>\war

Make sure you clean up the GAE app and run it locally before uploading to GAE. Let me know if you face issues even after these steps.
