New parties in AP

I don't understand why people launching parties in AP, after election notification issued. I guess they are not hoping to come to power for sure, but for something else. Kiran party is just there for splitting TDP votes and give benefit to Jagan&Congress. after election simply they are going to merge into congress.

I even know the line they will use at the time of merger, "As the state already split into to two, we think only a national party can do good for newly formed state"

Hope voters understand the purpose of these parties, and make a wise decision. :) :)

AAP’s success should only be the first step in new Indian politics.

Today AAP won confidence vote in assembly and now we all are eagerly waiting to see what difference they are going to make in politics. I hope people of this country and media will be patient with them, as they are the only hope we got in our corrupted and rotten political system. They should be given benefit of doubt in every aspect and should not be judged on daily basis, as now a days media is doing. At the same time AAP should restrain themselves from promoting a sponsor state instead they should concentrate on empowering people to fulfill their needs. 

Hope all goes well with AAP and for all of us. This new year brings  a new change to all of us.

Is Telangana state good for Telangana people?

First of all these are my personal opinions. I could be totally wrong with my predictions and in fact a lot of times I am wrong with my predictions.

So now is Telangana good for Telangana people? In simple words it may not be going to be as good as the politicians are trying to project it. Few reasons

- The GDP is going to be less than 50% of the existing combined state. So it may be difficult to fund all the existing schemes like aarogyasri.

- Immediate new investments to the Hyderabad going to be tough task. Creating new jobs in the state of Telangana for Telangana people is going to be a uphill task.

- Politicians promised a lot of things to Telangana people as part of making them participate in the movement, a lot of those promises are not even feasible like providing lot of govt. jobs. This may lead to unrest in the state. This may also lead to new lease of life to naxalism in the state.

- You love him or hate him KCR is the hero of the new Telangana state. He  may now change his plan to merge his party with congress. In that case too many political forces in Telangana will lead to lot of instability, which I think is not going to be good for a new state.

- If TRS merged into congress, then BJP is going to improve voter base in the new Telangana state and that may lead to new conflict between BJP and MIM.  May be lot of communal issues.

- I think its going to be a tough task to control hate politics against Andhra people in Telangana.  One hate crime against other region people can screw up new state’s future.

JSP formatting in eclipse

I have a few hundred lines of JSP code with java snippets. When I used eclipse to format this code. Its just unreadable and not even able to figure out what is in there in the java snippets. I tried different options like changing the code style formatter, but nothing worked. Then I tried netbeans to auto-format my JSP code and it did much better job compared to eclipse. Hope eclipse will come up with better formatting in the next version. Till then I will keep my netbeans running on my machine when I am doing coding on my eclipse.

Path Manager Makes the Run Dialog and Command Prompt More Useful


Windows: Editing your PATH variable is one of those things that you rarely need to do. However, one of the ways it can be useful is to add more app shortcuts to your run dialog. The PATH variable, in short, is a bucket of locations that the run dialog looks at to find app commands. When you type the name of an app (say "calc") in the run dialog (Win+R), it searches all of the folders included in the PATH variable. Path Manager allows you to add locations to this variable, so you can run more applications with this shortcut. Path Manager can also edit many other system variables. As always, you should be careful playing with system settings unless you know what you're doing. You probably won't need this tool very often, but it's handy to have in your back pocket. Easily Add, Delete & Edit PATH Variable Entries With Path Manager | AddictiveTips

Type History to Review Your Recent Terminal Commands


Sometimes you need to enter a long command again, or find something you typed long in the past. Sure, you can press the up and down arrows to navigate a fair amount of your history but that isn't practical when you have to search for something awhile back. Instead, just type history. When you do, your terminal window will display a list of recent commands. From there you can find the one you're looking for. If you know it was within a certain range, you can specify how far back in your history you want to go (e.g. "history 25").
