I was walking down the stairs after a long day at office and my friend asked me why I was smiling. All I had to say was “I am never unhappy, I never frown”. Life is too short to keep thinking about oneself. There is so much love so many people waiting to share love, craving for love, never felt loved.

They say “There is no humanity left”. I never understood this sentence. Every day I walk I see something that catches my eye and moves my heart. I am just listing a few things that will never fade from my memories.

Just the other day I saw a kid riding his bicycle on wrong side of the road. Probably he was too young to even know it was wrong. A young man was jogging in the opposite direction as the kid passed by he realised he was wrong. He kept calling that kid but he did not hear. He indeed went a few steps to him stopped him and just guided him. I was touched by that. He was a stranger a nobody to him yet he took that little pain.

Sometime back, I was in a bus with my friend. While I was talking he suddenly stopped and did that gesture what we Indians do when we see a temple. I looked around to find nothing but cars, bikes, buses honking at each other. I turned to ask him where he found temple while he just smiled the other friend pointed out that there is an ambulance on the other side of the road. He just prayed for that person. I was so over whelmed at that moment. I could see God resides in all of us. Apathy of fellow human being brings tears and pain to anyone around. From that day whenever I see an ambulance trying to nudge through Bangalore traffic I silently pray to God to save him.

Another moment just brings tears to my eyes. Around my house there lived a widow who was bread winner for a family of four. I saw her everyday while I studied in my balcony arranging her condiments cart to stand before a school and sell them. I saw her at times making only rice and serving it with chilli powder to her kids. I cried when I saw that. She looked content always happy with her life. Smiled everyday and told only one thing my kids should study like you. In her meagre hand to mouth salary she got a basket of fruits during Ramadan for me because she felt that I am in tenth standard and my board exams were nearing. I was too young to return her back anything but I will remember her till last day of my life. I had made a mental note how I could support her son’s studies and she will soon be in a better financial position. She passed away before this happened but I was proud to say he passed with first class in his PUC. When they say money does not bring happiness this incident comes to mind.

  
If I go on I can list umpteen incidents. Certain incidents leave indelible memories in your mind and occupy a large part of your heart. As my friend rightly says “It’s the small things that make life worth living”. I would never disagree.♥Feel happy in every small achievement of others and yourself.♥ Smile at someone and he will smile back at you.♥Plant a seed and see it grow into flowers♥. Share a meal♥ Look at yourself and admire ♥ Give and never expect ♥Compliment someone♥

.♥ Be yourself you are the best.♥ Laugh at yourself. ♥Just be happy and kick all your worries.♥It will make you spiritually high♥. It might take little effort but will result in convivial atmosphere in this world ♥I am no preacher to give sermons here just another person filling the diary of my life with beautiful people.

World is full of love, make place for everyone in heart it is too big.

We Indians are known for IT and geeks of geeks in computers. We walk and have fear of being kidnapped by some IT giant. We jump company to company , put up price and just this Saturday read an advertisement about a very huge company.
This company let us call it "The Company", has following features.

* It has over 500 employees

* 29 of them have been accused of spouse abuse.

* 7 have been arrested for fraud.

*19 have more than three criminal
cases pending against them .

*117 have been charged and are being investigated for Murder,Rape,Assault,
Extortion and Robbery.

* 71 cannot get credit or loans due to bad credit histories.

* 21 are current defendants on various lawsuits..

* 84 have been involved in offenses and have paid fines.

So are you willing to work for The Company?
Curious? Which company I am talking about?
Its none other than our parliament. I'm talking about 545 Lok Sabha members , they are supposed to represent you and me . This is how we are represented. Let us promise ourselves that in our own little ways we will strive for betterment of our nation.
Great leaders din't struggle for freedom to see this day, Gandhi told British that we can manage , we can run our own nation and today we stand here swathed in dirt and no one to clean.

Hats off to every govt servant who has been all his life loyal to his nation, you are real heroes. You will live with pride and die with honor.

Above facts might not be exact but intentions are.

It goes in Urdu:
Aankh khule to chehra meri MAA ka ho,
Aankh bandh ho to sapna meri MAA ka ho,
Mein mar jaun to gham nahi lekin ,
Kafan mile toh dupatta meri MAA ka ho,
Rab ney MAA ko ye azmath kamal di,
Iski dua se aayi musibath bhi taal di,
Khuda ney MAA ke pyar ki aisi misal di,
Jannath utha ke MAA ke qadmon mein daal di.

I'm using OpenCV 2.2 for my project that is Hand Gesture Recognition Interface and I had so many initial problems with the set up on a 64 bit system so decided to blog about it. OpenCV is no doubt a great tool for video and image processing but as its an open source it depends and behaves differently from one system to another.

This is what we did to install it on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Prerequisites :
1. OpenCV 2.2 for Windows download from sourceforge.net
2. CMake 2.8 to compile it to your environment
3. Visual Studio 2010.

Step I:
Install OpenCV :
1. Install OpenCV
2. Click on the set path for all users

Now your OpenCV is installed , by default it is installed in C drive

Step II:

Install Cmake
Click on Cmake GUI

1. In the " source code"text box -Give the path where your OpenCV was installed (By Def C:\OpenCV2.2)
2. In the next text box that is "where to build binaries"- Give a new path say
" C:\OpenCV2.2\build"
3. Click on Configure button and resolve the conflicts keep pressing it until Generate button is active.
4. Click on Generate.
5. For compilers choose from the drop down list according to the version of Visual Studio you have installed.

Now your build is ready.

Step III:
1. Start Visual Studio
2. Go to File-> Open->Project/Solution and navigate to
the build folder (C:\OpenCV2.2\build)
3. Choose OpenCV.sln , wait until it is ready
4. Go to Build and choose Build Solution

Step IV:
1. Create a new project(Win32 App)
2. Right click on the project (left panel) and select properties
3.Under "Configuration Properties" select "VC++ Directories"
4. Under "include" add "C:\OpenCV2.2\include" and "C:\OpenCV2.2\include\opencv"
5. Under "library " add "C:\OpenCV2.2\lib"
6.Under "Configuration Properties" select "Linker" and then "Input"
add "Additional dependencies"
opencv_core220d.lib
opencv_highgui220d.lib
opencv_video220d.lib
opencv_ml220d.lib
opencv_legacy220d.lib
opencv_imgproc220d.lib


This is when you know you have installed it as per your system's environment.
Then it is ready to run your helloworld equivalent in OpenCV -loading an image.
*/
------------
Running your first program:


Under Source section create a new "filename.cpp" file , debug and execute the following program
Store the image in the documents->visual studio->projects->firsprogram folder

#include cv.h
#include highgui.h
#include cxcore.h

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
IplImage* img = cvLoadImage( "Filename.jpg" ); //any image file
cvNamedWindow( "Example1", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
cvShowImage("Example1", img);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvReleaseImage( &img );
cvDestroyWindow( "Example1" );
return 0;
}
