Farmville Tale...

Farmville is one of game featured on Facebook. I was more used to Orkut than Facebook. I hardly used facebook.

Once I got a Farmville request from my friend. He forced me to join and add as neighbous. Few days I did not bother about that.

I was getting lots of gifts from Farmville, that tempted to look in to that. That was the mistake I did.

I got to so addicted to that, I used to play hours together @ home/Office. I was just finding free time in my busy schedule to play.

I used to tell my wife, I got new cottage, expanded my farm, growing sunflower, lost all my money and all, She used to get so annoyed by hearing.

It was sucking my productivity. Then finally made my mind to block that application. From then I have never turned back towards it.

diff unicode file

I was trying to get a diff of unicode file

When I was doing diff, I was getting result if it differs or not.

Then, by looking in to diff man page I found the solution.
Unicode file can be treated as normal file and we can find difference.

Without option
santosh-test:~ # diff unicode.txt unicode.txt.Backup.1
Files unicode.txt and unicode.txt.Backup.1 differ

With option
santosh-test:~ # diff unicode.txt unicode.txt.Backup.1 -a
32c32

Trek to Narsapura

I was thinking for going out for trek this weekend. In this recession was looking for a short and sweet trek and also which is near by Bangalore. Then I found a good place Narsapura, this is near kolar. Narsapura is around 45 KM from bangalore.

We started by 6.30 AM from bangalore. We reached there by 7.10 AM. You need to take left turn, you need to get in to the small road. After few meters you would find one temple. We parked our car near the temple, and then started our trek.

Initially we faced some difficulty to find the route to climb upwards. Then we discovered a electric poll. Then we followed electric poll which led to the top of mountain. On the way you would find lots of rock, we climbed over them and took lots of pictures also.

While proceeding towards the peek we found one big mango tree with lots of mango’s.

We started climbing the tree and got few mango’s. We refreshed our aiming skills by hitting mango’s. After many more trials couple of mango’s dropped.

We moved forward, electric poll was again our route map. Then we reached our destination, to the peek of the mountain. There is one nice temple. In was great sleeping under shutter of tree. Sun was almost above our head, nice breeze. We relaxed there for few minutes. You would not find any people around there, so better carry some food and water. It was around 2 hours reaching to peak. Do make sure you would get plastic covers back, avoid littering.

We all were pretty hungry after getting down. We found CoffeeDay, which is around 2KM from there. We had coffee, samosa, cake and parotoa there. We started back to bangalore.
