Every festival is Christmas!

Life is short and the end is fast approaching. So, in the light of the recent terror attacks, the festive spirit is highly important and is the need of the hour. Religion, to me is only a path to reach God and all paths, however diverse, all lead to the same goal and hence, every festival, celebrated righteously, with the true spirit of brotherhood, is Christmas.

Lawyers for your Need!

Everybody makes mistake. Without denying the fact that its absolutely wrong to commit a crime, I would say there should be chance given for the one who commits or does any sort of wrong doing, to turn over a new leaf.

With this as a base, I would like to share a pretty interesting website which basically deals with criminal defence law in California. The Los Angeles Criminal and DUI Defense Attorneys at Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin LLP provide answers to many of these common legal questions at their law firm daily. Questions such as, what happens when someone is arrested, how does someone gets bailed out, is there a requirement for criminal defence lawyer when someone is wrongly accused and many such questions are answered in a very efficient manner. The law firm is established to provide best solution possible for all the cases it gets and aims at helping out in very approachable manner.

I have always respected the profession of lawyers as I feel they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy society. A good lawyer is one who reads the situation well, does a lot of ground work and make the right move to provide the needed information and other things to safeguard his client. This is how everything is done in this law firm.

Classes in C++

This post might just be a little technical. It is dedicated to all those who are going for an interview. This is a very common question so let me just share whatever I know of classes.

Most languages offer primitive data types like int, long and float. Their data representation and response to arithmetic, assignment and relational operators are defined as part of the language. However, the language does not know user-defined data types. The programmer defines its format and behaviour by defining a class. For example, there can be a user-defined data type to represent dates. The compiler and the computer do not know about dates. Programmers have to define the behaviour of dates by designing a date class. This class expresses the format of date and the operations that can be performed on it. The way we can declare many variables of the primitive type int, we can define many objects of the date class. A class serves as a blueprint or a plan or a template. It specifies what data and what functions will be included in objects of that class. Defining the class does not create any objects, just as the mere existence of a type int does not create any variables.

Holodomor Truth!

I am going to share one interesting piece of information with you guys. It is the holodomor truth! You might be wondering what is it about. It is nothing but the truth about 'Holodomor of 1932-1933'. Scholarly arguments and facts about the 'Golodomor' in the Soviet Union.

So now the first question that might strike your mind is, what is a holodomor? The term 'Golodomor' means the mass hunger or the great hunger that caused millions of victims throughout the Soviet Union in 1932-1933. It is estimated around 6-8 million peasants deaths during the famine of 1932-1933.

The Soviet famine of 1932-1933 affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The Communist governments of the Soviet Republics seized grains from the peasantry and exported most of their Republic's agricultural output to the West in order to sustain the rapid economic transformation "Industrialization" and "Collectivization", a policy designed by Joseph Stalin.

These were some of the quotes which I found in their website. They have many such interesting information and answers for questions like:

Was the Golodomor a genocide?

Golodomor or Holodomor?

Though it may not be the happiest piece of article for reading, it would still give a good read and something that will increase your general knowledge.

A Thrilling End!

The final test match of the year for India as well as England is poised for a thrilling finish. The match is in balance right now it is possible for anything to happen tomorrow.

It all depends on who comes out on a attacking frame of mind tomorrow as time will play a crucial issue. We have seen delays in start due to fog for all these four days so a delay is expected even tomorrow. If England gets early wickets and wrap up Indian innings anything below 300 then they will have a chance to win provided they bat well.

Indians on the other hand, if they score some quick runs and declare at around lunch, with the kind of form the Indian bowlers are in, they would have enough time to bowl England out and seal the series. I can't wait for tomorrow as it is going to be really interesting and entertaining!

Community for Entertainment!

I am personally aware of many social networking websites these days. Websites like Orkut, Friendster, Hi5, Facebook have all been pretty useful in building our social network. I just noticed another website called as the acobay, which is not really for sharing pictures, exchanging messages etc. but rather to help people who own or use same products, or visited the same places to network each other.

I just felt it is something very different and interesting as we learn lot of things of other people, their day-to-day activities and many such exchanges to keep our day filled with entertainment.

The procedure is very simple as you just have to register with them without even having to give your e-mail, put down something that you have like car, phone or camera and comment on what you would like to share which will connect you to people who have chosen the same stuffs. You may even add some stuffs to your wish list.

This actually helps you in gathering ideas, different thoughts, perspectives and plenty of information on something that you want to know. This is the unique feature of this website which I thought was really good. It is very simple yet very entertaining, so try it out!

Indians in full Control!

The second and final test match between India and England is going on in Mohali. It is the 4th day of the match and clearly the Indians are in full control of the match. They're leading by 151 runs with an innings to go for both teams.

Eventhough a draw would be enough for the Indians to seal the series, they would be looking to win the match thereby ending a very disappointing tour for England. They have already lost the ODI series 5-0 and losing the test series also 2-0 would bring their morale down ahead their series against West Indies.
