Always difficult for one to write about oneself! Well, am a lazy sort of guy. Love to read, work on my computer (hacking Linux) and playing with my two daughters, Subi and Shreya!
This is a poem/thoughts by my daughter Shreya - all of 7 years old!! Gives an insight on the effects the current events have on the little minds. Sad but true - the little minds have so much more to cope up with!!
(the poem/thought has been reproduced as is - without any grammatical correction or modifications!)

Open source is a concept of free sharing of technical information that has been around for much longer than most of us would imagine. When we think of open source today, we usually think of software. As wonderful and widely used as open source software is, according to Linus Torvalds, "the future is open source everything." From foods and beverages to scientific and health research studies and advanced technological innovations, the world has turned to open source.
This talk at TED 2010 is inspiring - for hobbyist artists like me, KKR is a rock star. Check out his TED 2010 talk below.
From Wikipedia K.K. Raghava (b. Bangalore, India, 1980), also known as Raghava KK, Raghava K K, is a contemporary artist living and working in Bangalore, India. He is best known for his early style of painting, in which he created large watercolour on canvas paintings using his hands and feet.
He started his career in 1998 as a cartoonist for The Asian Age,The Indian Express, and The Times of India in Bangalore. He has been called "one of the most successful emerging artists in India" by many galleries and journalists.
His first painting exhibition in 2000 in Bangalore was hosted by Indian actress Shabana Azmi. In 2005, he collaborated with Gregangelo's Velocity Circus to create Anthropomorphism: When Paintings Dance, a performance art piece, at an event in San Jose presented by art patron Ann Getty. K.K.

Many have been querying on configuring Reliance/ TATA USB Modems on Linux machines (for both Laptops and Desktops).
The USB Modems available in India today use either Huawei or ZTE chips (check the USB Modem - must be mentioned on it!!). Follow the undermentioned procedure to configure your Linux system for using these modems.
1. Connect your USB modem to the USB port
2. On a terminal window, run 'lsusb'
3. Check for output like this:
Bus 005 Device 009: ID 12d1:140b Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.
(for ZTE chips, lookout for ZTE in the out put and note the ID)
4. In the output, the 4 characters after ID is the Vendor ID, and post the next column, the 4 characters is the Product ID.
(you can also find these IDs by reading the 'devices' file cat /proc/bus/usb/devices)
6. On the terminal type 'dmesg' - and check for which ttyUSB port has been allotted for the modem - maybe ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1 or ttyUSB2 (if required, remove and reconnect the USB Modem to check for the ttyUSB)
7. Then configure 'wvdial' by modifying the 'wvdial.conf' file using any editor"
$ sudo vim /etc/wvdial.conf
[Modem0]
Modem = /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud = 115200
SetVolume = 0
Dial Command = ATDT
Init1 = ATZ
Username = You Phone Number Here
Password = Your Password ... usually same as your phone number
Phone = #777
Stupid Mode = 1
8. Now run 'sudo wvdial' - post some brief message, you would be connected to the net!
