Who is the BEST - Infosys, Wipro or TCS?

Who is the BEST - Infosys, Wipro or TCS?

One day, three consultants, one from Wipro, one from Infosys and one from TCS, went out for a walk.
"Why don't we prove who is the best among ourselves?"
Why not, said the other two.
The Infosian said "Let's have a test. Whoever makes this monkey laugh, works for the best firm".
Being a pure logical strategist, the person from TCS tried to make the monkey Laugh by telling jokes. The monkey stayed still.
As a more practical consultant, the Wipro guy tried to make funny gestures... No good, the monkey stayed put...
Now, comes the Infosian. Being the practical guy he was always trained to be, he whispered something into the monkey's ear, and it burst out laughing at him..
The other two were astonished. So the Wipro guy said "OK, let's take another test. Let's make this monkey cry!!"
So there they went again, applying the same methods as before. The TCS guy narrated sad stories, the Wipro guy made sad gestures, and they failed again...
Then, the Infosian again whispered something into the monkey's ear and oh! It started crying, patting the Infosian's shoulder!
The other two just could not believe their eyes! So the tcs guy said "OK, you've won twice. If you can win just this one, we will bow to you. Let's make this monkey run".
And he barked at the monkey and ordered him to run. Of course, it stayed where it was.. The Wipro guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded the monkey- still No go.
So...here comes Infosian, again, and whispers into the monkey's ear. The Monkey just takes off! It runs and runs as fast as it can, as if it was scared to death!
The other two surrendered.
They Said: "OK, we give up.
You're the best among us, and you work for the Best firm of the three. But please, please tell us your secret," they begged him.
"Well", said the Infosian , "The first time I made it laugh, I told I work for Infosys . The next time, I told the monkey how much I get paid ...so it started crying.
And then I told that I was here for recruitment !!!

.NET Gmail Tools

C# / .Net Gmail Tools

I have created a gmail class library that provides some tools for getting gmail atom feeds and for sending emails through gmail using the .Net framework. These tools are not very complicated, but they are simple to use and should save a user some time if they want to integrate an application with gmail.

GmailMessage
Sending email using the System.Web.Mail namespace is very simple, but there is not a straight forward way of sending email using a secure connection or on different ports, which is required by gmail. Because of these drawbacks I created the GmailMessage object that inherits from the MailMessage object, all you have to do is set up the message object and call its send message.

I also added a couple of static methods that allow you to send a email through your gmail account in as little as one line of code. Below are some examples of it's usage.

//Send a message with one line of code
RC.Gmail.GmailMessage.SendFromGmail("username", "password", "toAddress@gmail.com",
"subject", "message body");

//Send a message with one line of code with a MailMessage object
RC.Gmail.GmailMessage.SendMailMessageFromGmail("username", "password", mailMessageObject);

//User the GmailMessage object to create and send your message
RC.Gmail.GmailMessage gmailMsg = new RC.Gmail.GmailMessage("username", "password");

gmailMsg.To = "RCcode@gmail.com";
gmailMsg.From = "fromAddress@gmail.com";
gmailMsg.Subject = "C# Test Message";
gmailMsg.Body = "Test body";

MailAttachment attachment = new MailAttachment(@"c:\testfile.txt");
gmailMsg.Attachments.Add(attachment);

gmailMsg.Send();



GmailAtomFeed
The GmailAtomFeed class provides a simple object layer for programmatic access to gmails atom feed. In just a couple lines of code the feed will be retreived from gmail and parsed. After that the entries can be accessed through an object layer AtomFeedEntryCollection, plus access to the raw feed and the feeds XmlDocument is also available.

Below are some examples of it's usage.

// Create the object and get the feed
RC.Gmail.GmailAtomFeed gmailFeed = new RC.Gmail.GmailAtomFeed("username", "password");
gmailFeed.GetFeed();

// Access the feeds XmlDocument
XmlDocument myXml = gmailFeed.FeedXml

// Access the raw feed as a string
string feedString = gmailFeed.RawFeed


// Access the feed through the object

string feedTitle = gmailFeed.Title;
string feedTagline = gmailFeed.Message;
DateTime feedModified = gmailFeed.Modified;


//Get the entries

for(int i = 0; i < gmailFeed.FeedEntries.Count; i++)
{
entryAuthorName = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].FromName;
entryAuthorEmail = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].FromEmail;
entryTitle = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Subject;
entrySummary = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Summary;
entryIssuedDate = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Received;
entryId = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Id;
}


That's about it short and sweet, I hope this saves you time integrating with gmail from your applications.

Interesting aspects of life - Warren Buffet

There was a one hour interview on CNBC with Warren
Buffet, the second richest man who has donated $31
billion to charity Here are some very
interesting aspects of his life:

1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now
regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from
delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3-bedroom house in
mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married
50 years ago. He says that he has everything he
needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or
a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have
a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns
the world's largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies.
He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of
these companies, giving them goals for the year.
He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular
basis. He has given his CEO's only two rules. Rule
number 1: do not lose any of your share holder's
money.
Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
7. He does not socialize with the high society crowd.
His past time after he gets home is to make himself
some pop corn and watch Television.
8. Bill Gates, the world's richest man met him for the
first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think
he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he
had
scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when
Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and
Bill Gates
became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
9. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has
a computer on his desk.

His advice to young people : "Stay away from credit
cards and invest in yourself and
Remember:
A. Money doesn't create man but it is the man who
created money.
B. Live your life as simple as you are.
C. Don't do what others say, just listen them, but do
what you feel good.
D. Don't go on brand name; just wear those things in
which u feel comfortable.
E. Don't waste your money on unnecessary things; just
spend on them who really in need rather.
F. After all it's your life then why give chance to
others to rule our life."

The link between man and god

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem
science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof:So you believe in God?

Student:Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student:Sure.

Prof:Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes.

Prof:My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.

Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is
this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof:You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student:Yes.

Prof:Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof:Where does Satan come from?

Student:From.....God...

Prof:That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student:Yes.

Prof:Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student:Yes.

Prof:So who created evil?

(Student does not answer.)

Prof:Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things
exist in the world, don't they?

Student:Yes, sir.

Prof:So, who created them?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof:Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world
around you.

Tell me, son...Have you ever

seen God?

Student:No, sir.

Prof:Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student:No, sir.

Prof:Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever
had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student:No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof:Yet you still believe in Him?

Student:Yes.

Prof:According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your
GOD doesn't exist.

What do you say to that, son?

Student:Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof:Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student:Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof:Yes.

Student:And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof:Yes.

Student:No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student

: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat,
white heat, a little heat or no heat.

But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero
which is no heat, but we can't go

any further after that.

There is no such thing as cold . Cold is only a word we use to describe the
absence of

heat

. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy . Cold is not the opposite of heat,
sir, just the absence of it .

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student:What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof:Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student :You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have
low light, normal light, bright

light, flashing light....But if

you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness,
isn't it? In

reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make

darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof:So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student:Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof:Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student:Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and
then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept
of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't
even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never
seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of
life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive
thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.

Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a
monkey?

Prof:If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I
do.

Student:Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
argument is going.)

Student:Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot
even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching
your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in
uproar.)

Student:Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it,
touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the
established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says
that you have no brain,sir.

With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)

Prof:I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

Student:*That is it sir... **The link between man & god is FAITH **. That is all
that keeps things moving & alive** ** **. *

this is a true story, and the

*student was none other than.........*

*APJ Abdul Kalam** ,** *the former president of India.
