My Dairy Page-1

For the past one month, personally I feel things are getting repetitive. Daily routine being the same. Wake up at 8. After having daily alerts, starting to office by 8 50.Changing share autos and reaching office by 9 20.Then going thru mails followed by breakfast. Again waiting for friends for lunch. Evening tea break that’s a must. Leaving back to home by 8 PM in the evening. Watching TV along with friends, while having dinner going to bed by 11. For most of the working days last month, it’s the same schedule.

No thrills. No surprises. Life ‘s Boring. The only enjoyment for me personally are the CSR(corporate social responsibilities) activities. It gave me immense satisfaction, though one of the days of my weekend is lost.

Last month we went to “Rab ne”. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Personally I felt it shud have been much better than actually wat it is. When we were watching the movie, a gang of telugu speaking people were sitting behind us. A group of 8, 4 guys 4 gals, they belong to cognizant. These people are creating hell for all other viewers. But that’s accepted, being youth. But these people are not willing to showcase themselves as telugu people, as if they lose their pride. It was disgusting. But I know its waste of time to think of these people who feel uncomfortable to show their real identity.

Dec 31 st nite. This time, fun at its fullest. Excellent evening. Having completed all office work by around 6 30. I ve marched to TCO,cognizant for my friend, Karthik. Srikanth joined us. We three went to nearby restaurant, where we had biryani, tandoori. God, the food was delicious. Not even a single time we visited that restaurant, though we were staying near to it for the past one year. It happens. Then srikanth left back to his hostel. We moved to our home. Our colleagues invited us to their room for the evening . By 11 PM, as we entered their room, Party already started. We joined them. Though I donno dance (of course no one present there knew itJJ ), but I tried to take a chance. We went to the roof top shouted at nearby hostels ‘ Happy New Year’. That was not the end. We had some funny discussion about our happenings in office. By that time it was 2 in the morning. Few wickets fell by this time. Myself, Rahul, karthik and sudhir we still continued. By the time we reached back our home, it was 4 in the morning. Unforgettable.

Always know your objective first.

Yesterday I happened to come across this forward mail which I thot of placing in my blogspot. The content in it made me think. It actually made me realize what flaw I was making most of the time which used to land me in trouble. Not only me this is a common mistake most of us do.
Ill place a copy of it :

During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director, "what is the criteria that defines a patient to be institutionalized? " "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask the patient to empty the bathtub."
1. Would you use the spoon?
2. Would you use the teacup?
3. Would you use the bucket?
Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would choose the bucket as it is larger than the spoon." No," answered the Director. "A normal person would pull the drain plug." He flunked..... ..... There is a difference between an objective and actions! Unless you understand your objective, you will be wasting your time in your actions.

Always know your objective first.

Cheers!!!

Good morning

Actually I dont like to give free suggestions. Stop..dont come to a conclusion that i am going to give one.But in my life, I am encountering many situations these days in either ways, Good and bad. Thank God, good is dominating bad most of the time.
Then I happened to see the below statements which are worth reading.
" Everything in life is temporary.Darkness of the night or brightness of the day.Even sunrise is temporary....and so is sunset. If things are going good enjoy it...It wont last forever.And if things are going bad Dont worry coz it wont last forever either.Everything just passes by.."

Difference between natural and cobol

This is my first blog and this is related to the technology which I am working on- Mainframes. Hmmmmmm.
The mainframe skillset which I am currently working on is Natural/Adabas.
I ll concentrate on Difference between Cobol and Natural.
Lets start with Hierarchy of programming languages.
v 1GL: Machine language
v 2GL: Assembly language
v 3GL :High Level language
v 4GL: Very High Level language
v 5GL: Very very High Level language (Artificial Intelligence)
Before actually getting into the differences between Cobol and Natuaral, I ll start with difference between Third and Fourth generation languages.
Third generation languages :
· High level languages are Third generation languages.
· Instructions that use brief statements or arithmetic expressions.
· Macro instructions: Each statements generates several machine instructions when translated by compilers or interpreters.
· They are easier to learn than assembler.
· Machine independent but less efficient.
Fourth generation languages
· 4GLs: A variety of programming languages that are non procedural.
· Non procedural-users specify the results they want, while the computers determines the sequence of instructions that will accomplish those results.
· Natural language that is very close to English or other human language often represents a 4GL.

COBOL is a third generation language. Whereas Natural is a Fourth generation language.
The differences which I ve spotted are here we go

v PRODUCT.
v PERFORMANCE ISSUES.
v COMPILER AND INTERPRETER.
v READABILITY.
v BUILT- IN FUNCTIONS.
v LINES OF CODE
v TIME CONSUMING TO DEBUG
v INDENTATION
v DEBUGGING OPTION
v PROGRAM CREATION
v COMPILATION.
v UNDERSTANDABILITY.
v DATA SET SECURITY & Memory utilization (usage of comp variables)
v USAGE OF SUPER DESCRIPTOR
v MAP CREATION
