Irregular Expressions

 A lazy day in office and i was trying to find something in the logs and was using "grep" to locate certain issues in the traces, And it is quite common to combine grep with regular expressions, it was taking a while to list the results and my mind was wandering about the name "regular expressions" !!!  It was an Eureka moment for me as i always felt that the word "expression" goes very well with the blog, also it is very rare people blog regularly, so i felt "irregular expressions" would be an ideal/apt name for the blog.

A comment on a photo of Ramdevarabetta

It was first weekend of the year 2014 and I woke on boring Saturday morning to a comment from my ex-colleague and close friend Srinivasa ( Seena BP) for my pics shared from recent hike to Ramdeverabetta near Ramnagara in Google+. Infact, I reciprocated by commenting that I had visited the place in build up to re-release of iconic Bollywood movie Sholay which was shot at the same location. Getting a comment for a pic on G+ is very rare but the after effects of the comment in the case have been many folds. The comment resulted in a phone call and we ended up watching the movie at Garuda Swagath multiplex in same evening itself. Watching Sholay on big screen was an amazing experience. The screenplay is so refreshing .. didn't feel like the movie was 38 years old ! .. only setback while watching was 3D gimmick which I feel was not required. 2D was very much sufficient.
