hallelujah Lyrics by Leonard Cohen and sang by Jeff Buckely
i heard there was a secret chord
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
it's not a cry that you hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
that david played and it pleased the lord
but you don't really care for music, do you
well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
the minor fall and the major lift
the baffled king composing hallelujah
hallelujah...
well your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
hallelujah...
baby i've been here before
i've seen this room and i've walked this floor
i used to live alone before i knew you
i've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...
well there was a time when you let me know
what's really going on below
but now you never show that to me do you
but remember when i moved in you
and the holy dove was moving too
and every breath we drew was hallelujah
well, maybe there's a god above
but all i've ever learned from love

it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
hallelujah...

My first Metro express
11 May 2008,
Me and my wife finalize to spend our Sunday Sunny time at tyne mouth rather than watching the boat race between Northumbia and Newcastle Univeristy, on tyne river, which start from other side untill the millinieum bridge of newcastle.
We left the flat around 1:30 PM, i took the laptop bag packed with cake, which we made previous day, the bread, a water bottle and a apple fruit juice thinking of having near the sea shore whe we feel hungry. We came to the Metro station, at Gateshead near to our flat,a 10mins brisk walk.At the time we dont' know how to take the daysaver ticket which only 3.7£ for 2 adult works for Sunday.We know that information before but never had an experience. Superb!we saw an offical helper from railway standing and helping other travellers and asked him for his help to get the ticket and asked him about our destination the coastal , tynemouth. He happily gave us the ticket from the automatic ticketing machine with the few touch screen pressed. He even gave the details way how to reach the bottom of the Metro, where the Metro will arrive.Wonderful! people, aren't they. We reached the bottom and waited. One metro came but was not for our destination, after 10mins of waiting, our destined metro came which will takes us to the tyne mouth.Then, we boarded on it, for 1/2 an hour, choosed the front sit , cause my wife was telling the views will be very nice, was infact nice after leaving the city , cause inside city it was travelling underground. We waited excitedly for 1/2 hour to reach the tyne mouth. But unfortunately, to our surprise, when we reach near to the tyne mouth station, we saw lots of fog, surrounded by it "0 visibility". Great timing, Great day!.We couldn't handle the unexpected unpleasent surprise.Just before few distance there was this Sun bright and sunny and when we came to this side after few mins it was full of fog. Amazing, couldn't believe that, infact nobody could believe that especially my wife, she was affected the most by the sudden change in the climate and the surprise took her like, small girl lost her precious dolls with magic.Why wouldnot anyone get mad after doing lots of research in net before comning, ie, she saw the weather forcast for 24 hours especially on the tyne bbc website, in the internet before coming.
But after coming here its exactly opposite, instead of Sunny day, every where fog, cold wind, dark by the cloud.Couldn't understand how it became , what it was. Leaving everthing our beautiful thoughts and excitments behind we some how figure it out to walk towards the seashore, still hoping that the sun might come for us, my wife even started saying prayer in vain, when god himself had already planned for the day, who are we to ask for change again. we strolled towards the beach, touch the freezing cold water with our feet, it was like freezing the bone inside the feet,we couldn't keep even for 15seconds,a burining sensation in the brain in that cold while we felt that. we walked for a while and sat on bench near to the sand and relaxed, ate our food stuffs and drank water, then headed back to station just to make it an unpleasant visit to tyne mouth, cursing the fog for destroying our beautiful dream day in the tyne beach. Well, thinking again and soothing our heart it was not only bad day for us, but for many people too who came to enjoy like us coiuldnot do much. We saw many of vechicles return back after some time.We did the same, while coming back after leaving tynemouth, our beautiful sun was back with bright and happy smile, we could feel from the Metro seat.The sun was the way it was while coming towards the new castle. What a feeling when there is bright sun and without the sun rays, really make lots of difference.
Well! conclusion of the story is: Nothing happens when you expect, even the 24 hours forecast fails to give the proper and exact weather status.
Still human technology are far away from predicting the game nature plays, with us.

gamming world.
24th November 2004 . I got a call from my recently attended interviewer. His name was R***** B****, just arrived in Hyderabad from US don't know where in US. He was my boss. Among some 100 people i was selected for the job. The job was nothing but to play game. A virtual game, which was a simulation of reality. I was in desperate to get into some job, cause i was already losing time for my career, i was doing some crash course during that time, need to support myself untill i really get into something. So, i got the chance to get into some job, my real first job in India, that was "role playing game", a role playing game. Before that i never heard about the MMORPG, massively multi-player role playing game. I have heard from my cousin from thailand about the KONARK, RPG, which he used to spend most of his time in the game parlour instead of going to college.
I attended the call, his assistant called me first then he said that wether i could come tonight, instead of the coming after 3 days which was the actually joining date of my job. I reluctangly , agreed to his purposal cause it was already 9:30 PM , he said he will send his car, then i readily agreed. Then i explained the location to the driver where i was staying he picked me up, after dinner, i reached his office, which was on going process of becoming new office. I was given a laptop and the game, which my boss had already playing and just started at the moment. He said he will teach me some moves, and how to play kind of thing then i can start i said ok. I played the game for the whole night. I couldnot understand even though i played whole night. he said he will come in the morning, and so he did.
That's how spended my whole 1 year playing that game. The game was "World of Warcraft iii" and the game server started on 24th Nov. 2004. that same day. My Boss had already created a warrior character for the first time. Then, i have to make him 60 years from 1 year. which i did after 15 days of continues playing for 18 hours. Slowly you can know the real game experience after playing for almost 1 month contineously. The interesting part was though we were staying in India we played the game in US server. Indian IP address was not allowed to those game server, we first hit the ip address in US and the US IP address will hit the server as if we are playing from US only, meticulous thought. The game really hit the market and became the best game of the year 2004 in all over the US then to all over the WORLD.
Then, when the game was on going fame, they developed lots of other interesting thing day by day, like Guild War, where players used to combat in group, together to make it more interesting. Apart from my boss's character he gave me chance to build up another character , again a warrior called "pegasus" which i gave the name and brought that character up to 60 level. There was a day when i used to play like 20 hours without a break for food neither biological waste. I was becoming addict, life was almost there inside the game. The game was so interactive that you will forget your real world. Cause you can buy , fly, travel, cook, fish, ride, fight, talk, and explore then what do you need to stimulate your brain. You just need to sit infront of the computer screen and try to reflect your character according to your personality. i spended my 360 days of my life playing that, i even created some addons on that using lua and xml language. Then i could understand, how the economy and the gold earns in the game transferred to the real money outside.
The game became more popular day by day so as the people also started to hack the game. Since they couldn't hack the game server, they used to manipulate the client side. There were two kinds of automation on the charater rather not say hack.
One was using the keyboard since the game was using keyboard "asdw" and mouse, the other was, the guy used to say "reverse engineering", manipulating the ram address , or offset address, register where it make impacts and then filling his own address to it using c sharp. The wow team also got more clever when they came to know that the public started making automation , and artificial intelligence with the character, and build more patches, agents, wanderer and attached to the server every Tuesday. On the long run the reverse engineering was highly technical and free to use, but the guy couldnot gave his time and on the long run it couldnot happen infront of public. The other guys with the keyboard technique could go for a long time, cause wow team couldnot detect what was happening in the client side.
I could test the software they had build for 6 system , due to the limitation of using 1 ip address, it used to had lots of problem. The other with the skyglider, i did testing for 1 system only.

check this out,, i liked it ...
What am I going to do with the rest of my life?
I don’t know whether only I get such weird thoughts in my mind or is it the human mind which is designed in such a way to keep cropping such questions which I faced some time back. Assuming myself to be a very normal person I think it’s pretty normal for people to think on these lines. This one’s for all you normal(!) souls......................more
