Trip to The Smokies … Day 7,8,9 … End of days
Sep 12th
Well, it was really a good time at Axesh’s (that is name of friend we were visiting at Iron Station, NC) home. He is family known to us since our days back to India. It was fun remembering old days and we played cards till very late. Being resident of CT, I was quite amazed of wide open houses which were as a matter of fact quite cheap !! And if you want to buy something you have to go all the way @ 6-7 miles till you find first store !! His house was quite closer to nuclear power plant, and when we asked them, they were unaware of any evacuation plans !! I mean, I won’t feel safe to live such a closer to nuclear plant and even if I live I will have at least some planning (well, its another matter of discussion that weather I will be able to escape the effected zone in time 
)
And next day as usual I woke up late in the morning (my mom says person who stays in bed even after sun rises is act of devil 
). We were actually not in hurry to leave because, our next destination was in fact quite close by (Raleigh, NC). When we reached at Raleigh, it was almost late evening.
Next day we went to few places, most of ‘em were pretty boring for me. I liked to botanical garden of Duke University though. I spent my two days by playing with our hosts WII, PS3 and fixing their two broken desktops (that was actually fun 
) …
Trip to The Smokies …. Day 1 & 1/2 … Holding Faith a Little Longer
Sep 4th
And, the trip has officially begun for me. We reached at our motel by 11:30 pm and we have to reach our temple exactly by 12:00 (as it is time when viewings will begin). Unfortunately we didn’t make it, we reached there by 12:30 and viewing was already closed. My mom felt that it is all because we (me and my brother) have not enough faith !!! Now, how I do I explain her that it was only because of traffic 
… But I guess, we can not change someone’s mind whose thoughts are based on faith not on facts.
Actually, today was really important day for us to visit temple. It was the day where Lord Krishna (who was 8th reincarnation of Lord Vishnu), and one of the most prayed god among Indians like my family. “Religion” is considered to be a quite sensitive topic to talk now a days. But for me religion has a bit different definition. I think, during early ages of civilization person’s life was so disorganized so some “wise” people created some sort of rules to live by life. But as a human nature, people don’t accept changes without any solid reason to those “wise” people gave them reasons in form of religion 
… but like I said, its just my theory.
Database 101 … Internals of Database
Dec 28th
Depending on storage method used by database, it can be classified in various models. Such as, Relational database, Network Database, Object Oriented Database etc. definition can be found over Wikipedia. The most commonly used Database Model today is Relational Database Model, in which all information stored as a relation. This model was originally formulated by E.F.Codd, also known as father of modern Relational Database. All DBMS, e.g. Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySql follow this model.
As of today, Relational DBMS is the most widely used DBMS, and that’s I will write about. Also will explain the main reason we use DMBS instead of file system (again …). Below figure shows how RDBMS constructed internally (and again, all RDBMS follows this model, they are just represented differently) which i found on Wikipedia.
RDBMS model contains five basic engines. Namely, SQL Engine, Relational Engine, Storage Engine, Transaction Engine and User Interface.

Hey friends !!
I am Gaurang. People who know me personally may be surprised by seeing me here b’coz I am of quite introvert nature. But I was in love of computers and internet from ages (by year wise it was ’98) , and everybody is blogging I gave “Just a thought” to blog and also, I wanted to learn how to self host the blog 😀 . So, here I am.
Anyways this is my story …. A guy confused from the beginning of this world , what to do and what not to. Came all the way from India to USA to pursue MS Electrical Eng. with hope of bright future !!! So now I’m trying to be in rhythm of life.
Hmm… I am music lover. Sometimes even when i study , i keep my internet radio ON. I like mostly Hip-Hop, RnB, Rock and Hard Rock sometimes. Though I like Mariah Carey lots ( heyyy no questions). I am not linux expert bt i like to “play” with it too ( playing reminds me my past long history of formats coz of it ). I use Windows Server 2008 , Windows 7 and Vista too. Internet is my life , I find my self suffocating sometimes if i don’t have router near me …. I like to play Games on my lappy too (bt i am not intense gamer) …
And ya .. one more thing … I am not a writer , so please bare my improper organization of words.
