Happy New Year: Love and Light

My loving readers you are divine souls,

On the last day of 2022, I want to express my gratitude for your presence.

Gratitude Journal: When an angel gave me two hundred rupees

2022 is about to end, and I want to end by starting by appreciating those who knowingly or unknowingly helped me during trying times. Moving forward, I'll start writing about angels, who appeared in a human form and aided me in expected ways.

On 8 November 2016, the Government of India announced the demonetization of all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes. The public had the option to surrender the invalid notes within the next 50 days.

I Believe In Santa

Someone said, "The majority of parents promote a false belief in Santa Claus, and they are part of some vast conspiracy to perpetuate a lie. Most small children accept that story as real. It is a completely made-up and bullshit story that Santa flew from house to house on Christmas Eve."

Everything in this beautiful universe is unlimited

We have been taught since childhood that everything is limited. There is a finite number of kids who can enroll for a particular thing. Seats in the college, school, workplace, or tickets to watch the world cup match are limited. We are often reminded that only a small number of people can achieve success.

Is suicide is a cowardly act?

 

'Suicide is a cowardly act, and the majority of those who do it go to hell.' 

Someone, I know shamelessly shared this on whatsapp status after a charismatic hip-hop dancer Stephen tWitch Boss committed suicide.

How can we assume that those who commit suicide are cowards? 

Losing a friend is worse than a breakup

The end of a romantic relationship is usually followed by prolonged heartbreak, but ending a friendship is sometimes worse than a breakup. The sudden, sharp distance created by misunderstandings, betrayal, judgment, and expectations is profoundly jarring.

Dear Chhathi Maiya

Dear Chhathi Maiya,

I remember when I was naive, I made fun of you, your devotees, and Chhath puja, yet you kept loving me.

Today, when I saw Alok Mishra's post related to Chhath Puja on Instagram, I revisited the past and realized I made a blundering mistake. I hereby repent and humbly request you oh loving mother to forgive me.

Waiting for you on the other side

 

Dear Friend,

Even though there is an unfathomable distance between us, I haven't destroyed the bridge yet, and I won't do so either since I don't have the courage to let you go.

Comedian Raju Srivastav passes away

The 58-year-old comedian Raju Srivastav passed away a few days after being taken to the AIIMS in Delhi. His family has confirmed the same.

#ShortStory: Let it die inside my body

They both enjoyed monsoons, it was a romantic evening, and it was pouring outside. The cherry on top was the soothing music, which was being played on a piano in the background.

She was cutting pears and was looking absolutely gorgeous. He couldn't control himself, grabbed her elbow, and tried to kiss her on the forehead.

Is it better to speak or to die?

I was once again watching Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name on Netflix. In one the scene, the professor Perlman(Michael Stuhlbarg) and Annella (Amira Casar) and Elio (Timothée Chalamet) snuggle on the couch while Annella translates from the Heptaméron, the 16th-century collection of fables by Marguerite de Navarre.

#ShortStory: Makhmali Khwaab

 "मैंने इलेक्ट्रिसिटी बिल का ऑनलाइन पेमेंट कर दिया है, आप प्लीज आज एसी ठीक करा लेना," उसने अपना मोबाइल चार्जिंग से निकालते हुए कहा। 

मैंने उसे पलट कर देखा, उसकी आँखों में आज एक अलग सी चमक और होठों पर रहस्यमयी मुस्कान तैर रही थी। मैंने उससे पुछा, "तुम इतना जो मुस्कुरा रही हो, क्या राज़ है जो छुपा रही हो?"

Does grief eventually pass?

They say that grief will vanish with time. But the reality is that it doesn't, it forever stays with us, within us.

Are individuals who pass away at a young age considered devils?

One of my former coworkers from Jabalpur shared a news link on Facebook a few days ago. It was about a young man who drowned in Bargi dam and died. The caption on that post caught my eye even though I hadn't yet opened the news.

The caption was, "अकाल मृत्यु वो मरे जो काम करे चांडाल का, काल भी उसका क्या करे जो भक्त हो महाकाल का।" (The one who works for the devil will die prematurely. For a follower of Lord Shiva, nothing can be ruined by time.)

WHATT! Neha Mehta aka Anjali has yet to receive her pending dues for Taarak Mehta

After doing Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah for 12 years, Neha Mehta decided to quit the show two years ago. After that Sunayna Fozdar has been roped in to play Anjali, wife of Taarak Mehta (Shailesh Lodha) in the show. 

In an interview with a leading publication, Neha revealed that she had not received pending dues from the makers of Taarak Mehta. 

For loop or Foreach, which one is faster in Java?

When I was looking for a job in 2019, one of the questions I was asked was whether we should iterate through an ArrayList using a for or forEach?

The debate over the difference in preference between FOREACH and FOR isn't new. I was under the impression that FOREACH is faster. I eventually realized I was wrong.

Having faith in God keeps poisonous individuals at bay?

"If I have a lot of faith in God, would he keep the bad individuals away from me?" a friend of mine questioned.

I asked the question to the Universe, and God answered in the form of a dream. The gracious God affirmed:

I am welcoming you with open arms. I am with you and within you.

What is SQL injection and how to prevent it in Java?

In this post, we will learn about common coding mistakes in Java, which lead to a vulnerable application. Also, we are going to learn to avoid SQLi.

What is SQL injection?

SQLi or SQL injection is an attack where a hacker manages to inject unauthorized SQL query language code into an application. Due to this, the attacker manages to change the behavior of a legitimate query before it hits the database.

Hypocrisy, thy name is?

Nupur Sharma, who is now facing massive backlash, and death threats recently said something against 'Salla Alahu ʿalayhi wa-ala alihi wa-salam' Muhammad while trying to defend the GOD she follows. 

She lost her cool and made some unsavory remarks, which is certainly a violation of the code of conduct. I personally feel whatever happened in that TV debate was demeaning and disgusting. But what is happening now, though, is simply UNACCEPTABLE.

#SpringBoot : Tutorial Part 3 (Basic Spring Boot Project)

ALSO CHECK: #SpringBootTutorial

In the part 1 of #SpringBoot tutorial we got the gist of the Spring Boot, in part 2 we discussed dependency injection. Now in this tutorial we will create a basic Spring Boot project from scratch.

You can STS (Spring Tool Suite) to create the project. STS is an Eclipse-based development environment. It is an IDE to develop Spring applications. It provides a ready-to-use environment to implement, run, deploy, and debug the application.

You can download the Spring Tool Suite from https://spring.io/tools3/sts/all. It's pretty simple to install.

#SpringBoot : Tutorial Part 2 (Dependency Injection)

ALSO CHECK: #SpringBootTutorial

In the previous tutorial we got the gist of the Spring Boot. Before proceeding further let's discuss Dependency Injection.

What is Dependency Injection (DI)?

When writing a complex Java application, application classes should be as independent as possible of other Java classes to increase the possibility to reuse these classes and to test them independently of other classes while doing unit testing. Dependency Injection helps in gluing these classes together and keeping them independent at the same time.

Dependency Injection design pattern allows us to remove the hard-coded dependencies and make our application loosely coupled, extendable and maintainable. 

#SpringBoot : Tutorial Part 1

ALSO CHECK: #SpringBootTutorial

In this tutorial we will have some basic theoretical knowledge about Spring Boot.

What is Spring Boot?

• Spring Boot is not a framework, it is a way to create stand-alone applications with minimal or zero configurations.
• With Spring Boot we can develop spring based applications with very less configuration. It provides defaults for code and annotation configuration to quickly start new spring projects within no time.
• It is a Spring module that provides the RAD (Rapid Application Development) feature to the Spring Framework. It comes with the auto-dependency resolution, embedded HTTP servers, auto-configuration, management endpoints and Spring Boot CLI.
• SpringBoot uses convention over configuration software design paradigm, that's why in SpringBoot we don't have XML configuration (deployment descriptor) or beans defined with @Configuration. It had embedded HTTP servers. In short we can say Spring Boot is the combination of Spring Framework and Embedded Servers.
