Protest - A short story attempt

For any negative outcomes, why does the mind always tries to find a reason to blame the others ?

Well perhaps, it is just want to move on with confidence.
 

The story begins 

The hero of this story is at his 22, another VIP from one of the moderate paid university and most importantly a free 4G customer of big telecom company. He has a wonderful family like the Manik's in the Tamil movie Baasha and recently moved to a town where people are protesting against the armed government for some reasons. Past one week he has been receiving messages about the protest from all of his e-social groups.

In one of the Whatsapp group he received a message from his friend Mr. X

"Democracy is not working for people. The government is trying to kill our future and now is the time to show our power. Whoever is not coming for today's protest are cowards and will be called as zombies. I am going so does you - Your friend"

He decided to go since he is the hero.

He reached the protest area at right time and there were plenty of people marching towards the collectorate. Near the gate an armed policeman asked the protesters to disperse, otherwise he has to obey the shooting order.

Mr. Y from the crowd replied the policeman saying

"The number of bullets you had is not enough to shoot all of us. You are out numbered. Don't threat us."

Some of the anti-cool guys from the last rows has pushed the crowd and the people in the front are forced to move forward. The policeman rised his arm and gave his final warning. The crowd has not stopped and the Murphy's law worked.

Suddenly the bullets came from all the directions, and yes it was a master plan. Due to unavoidable survival instinicts people started dispersing as fast as they can. More than 13 people died on the spot.

The next day Mr. X came to hospital to see our injured hero and asked

"Why the hell you went there ?"

and the story ends.


I want to move on with confidence so I underlined.

Some one cloned my android application from the Google Play store and published the same in the Play store

Stealing is not right. I searched google for a solution and found the useful blog http://arkenea.com/blog/app-cloning/ 

The blog suggest me to make a Gentleman's move first by writing an email to the appropriate party about their violations. It also suggest me to inform to the Playstore as a further step.

I decided to register a complaint on the Playstore first and also wrote an email to the person who cloned my app. I never received a reply from that person.

                  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<Id>

                  Some one copied my entire Application code and published 

                  the  similar one named "<CLONED APP NAME>"  with logo 
                  and locale changes in playstore
 

                  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<CloneAPPId>

            2.2 Where can we see an authorized example of the work?

Impact of A.P.J Abdul Kalam

27 July 2015 , a message was spreading like anything, I was outside and got a call from my sister in the evening,

She :  Did u know the news ?
Me  :  What happened ?
She :  In news channel, they are telecasting the death news of Abdul Kalam.
Me  :  ....

After few minutes, there was a complete silence  in my mind.Here silence is  some kind of pain , I don't know how to express in words.

After a long time I asked question to myself

 "What this man did and why I can't digest the news?"

 Might be because ,
   In school I studied his book content as a subject
   In school days, I had an aim of become a scientist like him
   He is the former president of India
   He is one of the man from my state I can proud about

Any form of the reason silence remains the same.I had decided to stand on his words.

 "We should not give up and we should not allow the problem to defeat us"

"The youth need to be enabled to become job generators from job seekers" 

"Mudiyaathu Endru Nee Solvathai Ellaam Yaaro Oruvan Engo Seithu Kondu thaan Irukiran" (Someone is doing what you think that you can't do)
 

   - A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Man of Steel movie quote

Movie dialogue that makes me think. Man of steel 




Father Leone tells to Clark kent : "Sometimes you have to take a leap of faith first, the trust part comes later"

Yes I think..


One man was showing his 6 year old cousin their location in Google Maps.
On seeing the blue spot, child calmly asked, "Where am I here? I can't see! Where are you?"

Parallel::ForkManager - Parallel Processing of a Perl script

 I recently used Parallel::ForkManager  perl module in one of my project.I was quite impressed by this module.By using this module it is very easy to do parallel processing where ever it needs.

My task :  Process thousands of client profiles information and store into a Database.

Approach : Form perl data structure to each profile and pass it to a subroutine that taken care of Database insertion part.

 So Every time when a profile Data structure has been formed , it has to wait till the completion of profile insertion part.

Stub :

my @responses; 
my $total_profiles = scalar @profiles;

for ( 1 .. $total_profiles ) {
    my $profile = shift @profiles;
    # form appropriate structure of $profile
    my $response =  storeProfile($profile);
    push(@responses , $response);
}

print Dumper \@responses;

#storeProfile subroutine has DB operations.

 
How Parallel Fork Manager helps to do it parallely 

use Parallel::ForkManager;
$max_process = 5;  #carefully  choose this number;

Carefully  choose max process because if your system is busy and it has more number of applications running , choosing a big number will affect other process.Parallel fork manager will create that many number of child process so each process will try occupy the cores.There is chance of system hang.

It is the advantage of the module, your script runs parallel y and make use of all cores.So the entire operation will be faster.

 In my task subroutine storeProfile runs parallel y  by 5 child process.So the speed of process will increase by 5 times

Assume that storing one profile took 0.5s 
than 
without Parallel::ForkManager 1000 profiles will take 500s
with Parallel::ForkManager 1000 profiles will take  100s
(if max_process is 10 then 1000 profiles will take  50s



$pm = new Parallel::ForkManager($max_process);
my @responses; 
$pm->run_on_finish(    # called at the end of child_process completion 
       sub {
           my ($pid, $exit_code, $ident, $exit_signal, $core_dump, $response) = @_; 
          # retrieve response  from child
           if (defined($response)) {   
                push(@responses , $response);
           }
       }
);

my $total_profiles = scalar @profiles;

foreach ( 1 .. $total_profiles ) {
     my $profile = shift @profiles;
     # form appropriate structure of $profile
     #FORK HERE
     $pm->start and next;
     #following code will run by child process
     my $response = storeProfile($profile);
     $pm->finish(0, $response); 
}

$pm->wait_all_children; #wait till all the child process completes
print Dumper \@responses;


Note : 
       * Before start using this module, one should be aware of selecting the number of process.

       * It is not good  to use this module when the script runs as a server that handles the request.

For example , if you try to create 5 process from the script , for each request it will create 5 process, if 10 parallel request comes than 5 * 10 process will create, Its a kind of Fork Bomb.Server will hang.

I would suggest to use Parallel::ForkManager in a stand alone script.
