FAQ’s - Java

What is the difference between jre, jdk, sdk?
JRE, ‘Java Rutime Environment’ performs the execution of java programs but JDK, ‘Java Development Kit’ which contains the java compiler is helpful in developing java based programs. Infact one or more JRE’s along with various development and deployment tools are present in a JDK.
JRE is a subset of JDK.
- Two steps for a java program ie.,compile and interpret.
- JDK does compilation but JRE can’t.
- Both JRE and JDK does interpretaion.
SDK is same as JDK

Ideas!

Just thinking of updating some of the ideas that keep on haunting me in my free time!

• Best quality : Adapting to change and ability to adjust without cribbing
• Second best quality : To be humble = politeness
• Third best quality : Courage, self motivation
• There is a thin line that separate humour from stupidity…so be careful
• Always give your 100 %. Even if you fail, you won’t have any regrets
• Be carefree when you laugh at your self. But be careful when you laugh at others.
• If you think that one bad fruit can spoil the rest, you are seeking a proverb. But if you think that one good fruit can improve others, that’s what i call being positive.
• The pleasure that you get from happiness is directly proportional to the anguish you have gone through during your sorrow.
• Just as bitter is important to realise sweet, pain is important to realise joy!
• The journey is more important than the destination
• (On similar lines) Sometimes, the happiness lies in the pain undergone for the achievement.
• The attitude should be like a duck : calm and effortless from outside but struggling to get ahead from inside
• Interest is inversely proportional to knowledge = familiarity breeds contempt

I am ready to love you, I am ready to hold you

Yes waiting for the topic to hold true ASAP!! Of course I am talking about my future. When I will be settled and mature enough to say it to my wife to be : ‘I am ready to love, I am ready to hold you’.

Waiting for the right time to come and nothing else. Sometimes, I badly feel that let the cupid find me. That I am all eager to get into a relationship. But then I realize that there are still things to be done which will require my time. And that this is the only time for all those things to be done. In a nutshell, I mean to settle properly first. It’s not that I can’t afford a relationship at this stage. May be I can. But then life will pause since I believe that every relationship requires time to burgeon. And since I want to do it in a proper way, I cannot run from it once I am into it. So it is a fight between heart and mind. The heart is whimsical, speaks for what it wants right now. But the mind thinks logically and says that other things should have a higher priority as of now. May be everything in life has got its own time. And the time for the cupid to strike is still at bay. May be I am not completely ready for it even though I would love to be head over heels. And may be single rocks who knows for sure! May be after getting into a relationship I might crave for my single, independent days where there were no explanations required. After all the grass on the other side always looks greener. So let’s wait for the right time when both the heart and mind think alike. But then be on a look out. If you find someone next to ideal for you, then may be you should call the cupid. Give it a shot. And if she understands, even she will give you the space and time that you require to settle down. I think falling in love is not only about spending a lot of time together but also about making your partner comfortable and encouraging him/her in his/her goals even if it requires some compromise to be made initially.

So should one fall in love? Sure, if you think it’s worth it and if your heart sings ‘I am ready to love you, I am ready to hold you’!!

My idea of “Happiness”

What is happiness? It is purely a state of mind. Well how do you get into that state? By putting your 100% in everything you do and not expecting much out of it. I think the very act that you are trying your best should make you happy. Results should be kept aside to celebrate the success or learn from them if you fail. No need to get depressed and overreact or start cursing yourself for the failure. But all this is valid only if you know that you did whatever you could. Another important thing is knowing your ability. One has to take care that if one is expecting something beyond his ability, then one should owe it to luck. After-all anything that happens by chance or beyond the ability is pure luck. If you are trying within your intellectual limits, then it depends upon how much determined you are to make it happen. No luck factor here. Well anyways, don’t take all this very seriously (the responsibility thing, not my blog ;-)) and as i said, don’t let it turn you down completely. Life is long and there is always the scope for improvement.

This was happiness with respect to success and failure and with respect to individual. But unfortunately happiness is not as simple and depends on the people around you as well. For people to make you happy, first you need to make them happy. After-all i strongly admire that what you give is what you get. So keep your side neat and clean. Make sure that you are playing the game fairly and only then you can expect a fair result. For that you need to be happy first. Only then you can reflect it in your behavior.

There are very few people who account most for your happiness. These are the people who you care the most. Mainly include your family members, family members to be and your close friends. Even in that if you prioritise, it will be your spouse (if not then your parents if you are staying with them and if not then your friends in that order). I think the saying “Happy wife(/husband), happy life” is apt.

Now starts the real topic : My idea of happiness :

• It’s not money i am running after. Money is required to get the luxuries. So let me define luxuries. Own house(not compulsory but will prefer), own car (not very fundoo, Santro will do but it should be AC) , good healthy food. Anything more than this will do but will hold a lower priority.
• For me, the family members come first then my friends. It is necessary for the family to be happy if you want to be happy. It essentially means that your wife should be happy(since i believe that she will be the closest family member). I believe that friends are there to help you and you are there to help friends. When it comes to helping from your side, it should be unconditional.
• I beleive in rational thinking. So anything that is wrong is wrong and is right is right by the virtue of logical thinking. So i like people who think rationally. This doesn’t mean that emotions have no value. They have. But they should be used to show how understanding and caring you are. And i think losing your temper and blowing things up is the easiest thing to do. But keeping your calm and consoling the person in distress rather than blasting him/her for his/her mistake is what will make you more sensible and adorable. This is because mistakes happen and everyone commits them. And if the person who has committed the mistake is already feeling guilty for it, then i think that he has realized his mistake. So at that point of time, showing compassion is more important. Whatever you want to tell him/her can be done later when he/she comes back to normal. I think that this is the time when you can show how much you care for the person rather than turning things more hostile by finger pointing.
• If something happens for which nothing can be done and no one has got a specific fault, there is no point blaming it on someone else. Eg. You (with your spouse) go out and when you come back, find that someone broke in your house and took all the valuables along with him. Now in this situation, no one is to blame since the door was locked properly. Usually, i find that one partner start blaming the other and the whole thing snowballs into insults.
• When i admire the people as i said above, i assure the same kind of behavior from my side.
• Quarreling over small things like forgetting the umbrella, losing your valet, getting vegetables at a bit higher cost than the cheapest possible price after heavy bargain and spoiling all the good mood over it is sick. It’s not even worth it.

Finally, i think that happiness comes with understanding your near and dear ones and adjusting with them. Instead of losing temper and insulting others, things can be sorted out and talked over. Fighting will only bring bitterness in one’s life. The solution lies in convincing the mistake or the issue and the ability to respect the views of others. One should be flexible to change his views or to adopt to better views as suggested by others instead of making it an issue of ego.

Happiness is all about being content in life, understanding that life is not ideal, nor are the people around you.

The key to the gate called “LIFE”!!

What do you think would make your life beautiful? What do you think gives you the true joy of living it? Are you getting it? (Still thinking? or perhaps confused?). What are you doing to make it beautiful? Do you respect it? or just strectching it?

All these are blatant personel questions and yet some of you might find difficulty in answering them. The answer lies in finding out how are you getting rewarded from life for your actions.

Well…here is my key to the gate called “LIFE” :

Keep the pranks and friendship in its own place.

Friendship is not only about making fun, but also about knowing the limit after one get’s pissed off!

Friendship is about respect. So don’t take it for granted!

When someone helps you, be grateful to him and remember that you owe him more than what he has done for you.

What you give is what you get….please concentrate on the “give” as well as “get” part.

Learn to be yourself rather than what others would want you to be. Let people like you and not your mirage!

World is not a zero sum gain….you can always try ur best….if others r not tryin and losin, then they r lazy!

Don’t worry about what has happened, but think of what is going to happen.

Lost trust is like a fractured bone, u can get it back but like never before.

The best way to remember something is by forgettin it once!

You need not display ur personality….a diamond will also shine in the dark!

A good person needs equally good person to get appreciated!

Saying sorry takes more guts than committing the mistake.

Quality which i like the most - politeness!

Commitment is required…..either working or flirting!

The key…”LIFE”’s joke : 2 things which i found most unpredictable : comp and gals!

Why do people forward crap mails?

Hi,

Forwarding mails is not a new thing. But i hate when ppl just forward junk mails in bulk. I feel like the inbox has been dirtied with a lot of garbage. It is so awkward to tell this person that he needs to stop it and that i don’t like them. Its not that i hate them altogether, a good mail conveying some funny or mind boggling idea is pleasing once in a while. But what if you don’t have enough time and there are people who send like 10 junk mails everyday? I think anyone will get pissed off! The better solution would be to create a separate email id for junk mails. And trust me, i have one. But still these forwards won’t stop coming to my mail id which i prefer for personnel mails. And so finally i need to tell these junk mailers that all the crap can be forwarded to the alternate email id. What a pity…and i don’t know how it feels when someone really straight forward like me tells u that. At this point of time i expect people to understand that it is causing some inconvenience and there is no offense meant. When i know the cons of junk mails, i myself don’t forward any mails to others thinking of their valuable time i would waste (and when there are already dozen to other ppl who are doing it)

Today, there happened this incident which made me feel guilty at the end of it. My friend forwarded me this mail saying that u will get a free Apple iPod by forwarding this mail to all the people in your contact list. Unable to resist temptation, i followed the suit. After taking all the emails from my contact list, i was asked to update my postal address where i would like to receive this free iPod. On the top of it, they also asked me to update my b’day increasing my hopes to get it as my b’day present. (Now, u will say ‘wow! wish i was there in ur friend’s list’) . And believe me, all this took around 15-20 mins. After all this moral boosting, the anti-climax played its part. To get it free and to finish off the process, i was i asked to purchase one of the a variety of articles each one of which costed in $’s and required to pay through the credit card. And this was the last step. Spend some #$&*%#@ dollars to get an iPod FREE! And suddenly i thought of all my friends who might fall for it and curse me as i was cursing my friend who was the scapegoat for someone else.

I feel bad for whatever happened and if u r by any chance someone who got it from me….i m sorry!

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna…

Hi,

Yesterday on the eve of Independence Day, i got an opportunity (b’cause the shows are full up-to this weekend) to see the most hyped and awaited movie of the year “KANK”. I had no plans of writing a blog on it, had the movie not provoked me to do so. Well to start with, the movie is high on star-cast and low on content. The role allocated to Rani and SRK in KANK seems illogical all the time. I felt that both of them got whatever they deserved. Both of them are shown under-performers and infected with inferiority complex. Rani seems to be feeling guilty all the time for whatever she has done and looks big time confused on love. It is as if the story is deliberately made to take twists. Most of it feels artificial. The role assigned to Amitabh is pretty vulgar and neither suits his personality nor the movie theme. The only person who has acted well is Abhishek. He is the one who plays the character of “Rishi” and not “Abhishek”. Others seem to act on their own behalf. But some things go in favor of Mr. Johar. These includes the songs (almost all of them are good), exotic sets and costumes and the New York city.

All and all, the soul is missing and you will surely want to say Alvida to KANK before you get out of the theaters.

Bangalore…

Bangalore..the city of gardens and it truly is. The city would look like a green blanket if you take a top view. There are many other aspects about this city. Some of the pro’s are the favourable climatic conditions. If you are the person who hate humidity and sweat, i can swear that this city is for you. Its as if the god has naturally air-conditioned this place. The roads are also k….much better than pune if you had been there recently. The traffic is very well disciplined and people do follow the signals at the squares (ofcourse not without the traffic police, so the credit goes to them!). And it is the ultimate place for all the party animals. All you need is a debit card(must) and a gal(optional)….and your day is made!(and u r paying for it, literally!). The list of pubs, discos, coffee days, pizza centres, multiplexs, malls, etc goes endless. So if are making enough cash, the adage “work hard, party harder” should follow.

Well enough of eulogy. Let’s start the critic’s job. The worst part…..you need to burn a lot of oil(whz this?). The figurative meaning….the traffic is sick and it is very likely you get stuck except for the happy hrs from 10 pm to 6 am. And so never calculate the distance in kms but in mins! It might take a good half an hour to travel 2-3 kms and a pedestrian would walk away with a trophy if u decide to race!

The final decision - you decide! Trade-off is the buzzword!

P.S.: How do i know all this? Thanks to the employers!

Evolution or is it?

Again coming up with some food for thought!!

Have you ever thought about the world we live in? About the people we come across, about the people we stay around in our daily life? About the things that occur around us? About the things that happen to us? As we get to know people around us, we form an image of every individual which is edited on every rendezvous. The same thing happens with you i.e. everyone has his own perspective of your image.

Depending of your likes and dislikes, your mind rates every action of the individual as good or bad (there is a thin line separating good and bad which is very subtle and difficult to define or materialise but much easier to feel). By summing up all the scores, the overall behaviour of the person is continously evaluated. Everyone wants to evolve himself/herself as the time progresses. The course of evolution depends upon you and the overall continuous reaction (on your heart as well as mind) of the reactions of the outside world. This reaction also causes a perpetual change in your definition of good and bad. This is like a “good and bad update” that keeps on getting installed in your mind which takes place subconsiously. The evolution procedure is also continuous. Everyone wants to change for their better half. Its just that the idea of “better” is unique for every individual (the formulation of this idea is as explained above). The same happens with everyone and this is how people evolve. Question is : Does everyone evolve? Yes. Everyone is evolving. Its just that the people you think who are not are having a negligible affect on your mind or the rate is slow enough to get noticed. This is how the theory of evolution works.

Evolution is not important, but the way you evolve is. Evolution if channelised can work wonders for you. If given proper direction, it can lead to your progress in the true sense of life. It can change you from a spoiled brat to a well-polished, multi-faceted personality. It can encourage every bit of ability that you have got to materialise in the form of prosperity and well-being. It can make you realise the true meaning of metaphysics!!
