In software programming we have design patterns to solve recurring and frequently occurring problems. I wonder if anyone discovered a design pattern to make your toddler eat?<br />

Found the picture on the web, I bet the food or may be the entire bowl was courtesy Photoshop :). Rarely have I seen Avani happy about eating. In fact when she's extremely hungry she gets super cranky and well not excited (I wish) at the sight of food.<br />
<br />
A usual meal follows this sequence:<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Ask her if she's wants to eat- which she says Yes</li>
<li>Get the food on the dining table</li>
<li>Before the even the first bite she will ask for "nani" (Jump to step 8 for explanation :)</li>
<li>Coax, plead to eat</li>
<li>May take couple of bites and stop</li>
<li>Then make light threats "bahar leke nahi jayenge", "garden jaana hai na" etc for the next few bites</li>
<li>Stop again - at this point nothing works</li>
<li>Show her favorite video "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9b90Mx4f4Y">Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye</a>" on phone. After this its relatively smooth till she's really full. Lately she has been asking for specific videos! (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II2EO3Nw4m0">Batameez</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuPb_5ZcA34">Kathi</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-tTOJ1RvUY">Chidiya/Aunty</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0NHrFNZWh0">Monkey</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VGCfifgpDs">Jimmy</a>)</li>
</ol>
<div>
We have been trying to get her to like and enjoy her food (without using distractions) - hopefully we'll get there at some point! </div>

I got a new phone from AT&T (iPhone 4S) this week. I have been using the GPS & google maps on it to navigate Charlotte "ki galiyan" extensively. I was on my way to a friend's place when inexplicably the GPS on the phone decided to play a foul trick on this poor little brown fella. So I am driving around in the streets of a foreign town, that too after a really long time in a foreign country, with a GPS showing my really really approximate location - within a half km radius. Its for this very situation you need to read the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy" target="_blank">Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy</a> or at least its cover:<br />

Its a best seller because of it has the words "Don't Panic" written in large friendly letters on the cover :) (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phrases_from_The_Hitchhiker's_Guide_to_the_Galaxy#Don.27t_Panic" target="_blank">1</a>). So after about 2 hours of trying to reset my phone, driving around in crazy circles, getting scared of stopping in unknown neighborhoods and doing all of this over again, I found my way to the safety of the place I call my home these days.</div>

Ever wonder how frequently we use sarcasm in our speech. Its so habitual that you forget who you are talking to. Meera (my 4 year old niece) & Avani (my 15 month old daughter) are frequently at receiving ends from their respective mothers. Sample this:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>When she refuses to eat - Khana mat kha! phir pet nahi dukhega to kya</li>
<li>When she skipped her day naps - Tu so mat! aur phir rotey baith</li>
<li>When she's throwing things - Wo tod de tu!</li>
<li>When she's rolling on the floor - Aur poch le purey jameen ko apne kapdo se!</li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4SH_PPHtRG9JIIDHNyYsa-LdYvkmmh6PIt1TCdDIfG9c1KiO4OL2y0K5xQFQnhlDL5VkHfjPNLe8sxq7h9yFNqqkE_hupCMQLHn9aDGcMeVkvoz8PNFHKgDZNWZgDO1WUNPfqlMn7JEY/s1600/e-cards.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4SH_PPHtRG9JIIDHNyYsa-LdYvkmmh6PIt1TCdDIfG9c1KiO4OL2y0K5xQFQnhlDL5VkHfjPNLe8sxq7h9yFNqqkE_hupCMQLHn9aDGcMeVkvoz8PNFHKgDZNWZgDO1WUNPfqlMn7JEY/s1600/e-cards.png" /></a></div>

If I were hearing this as a child, it would be really confusing to understand why I am being shouted at, when I am doing exactly what I am told:<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Don't eat your food</li>
<li>Don't sleep</li>
<li>Break that</li>
<li>Roll on the floor</li>
</ol>
<div>
This is really funny to observer and I guess a bit damaging - depending on how your child takes it. I think its just better to make it very clear on what you expect from your kid rather than getting frustrated and resorting to sarcastic language. Some food for thought...</div>

I recently tried online shopping for clothes as part of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Online_Shopping_Festival" target="_blank">GOSF</a> on <a href="http://jabong.com/">jabong.com</a>. The overall experience was surprisingly satisfactory. Like most people I have had a mental block for shopping for clothes, shoes & other apparel without trying them on. However the variety and the size of their inventory and the huge discounts they were offering encouraged me to take a leap of faith - with very pleasing results.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some of the things I liked over traditional shopping:</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Perennial discount offers that give you better deals than any year-end mall sale</li>
<li>Massive inventory - so no dearth of choices</li>
<li>Amazingly simple & free return policy - I had to fill an online form and the courier picked it up from my house. Money was credited back in a day after the pickup.</li>
<li>Didn't have to drive to the city for visiting a mall :)</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<div>
And some improvement areas:</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Introduce an option to get your clothes altered (obviously with no returns)</li>
<li>Get rid of coupon codes to avail discounts - if you want the discounts to reach a broader audience just offer the discounts as part of standard checkout process. Why should I have to enter a coupon code to avail an offer.</li>
<li>I prefer my order to be shipped together, rather than arrive a item at a time (due to different retailers)</li>
</ol>
<div>
And the reason for the title:</div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/xhDOIOKx9Es?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
f<a href="http://flipkart.com/">lipkart.com</a> has also expanded its offerings from books & electronics to fashion with an equivalent inventory.</div>

My niece Meera, who's about 4 and a half, attends kindergarten. She has a story telling session today. Her teacher gave her a short story of Aesop's fox & the sour grapes.<br />

I asked her if she understood the story - which was funny because she still does not understand the meaning of "understand" :). So I tried explaining the story in words she would comprehend with a mix of Hindi & English. Got as far as "fox tried to jump, aur fox gir gaya (the fox fell while jumping)". The moral of the story that was given to her was "Try, try, don't cry" - I am sure even a child twice her age will not understand the "sour grapes" analogy that the story hints at.<br />
<br />
I found the entire idea ridiculous, trying to have children recite stories when they are not at a stage to understand the language that's used in it. So I gave her my version of the story:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Once a fox was very hungry. He was trying to look for food - he found cheese in the fridge (which Meera likes) but could not open the fridge. He found chuda in the dabba (again something Meera likes) but he could not open the dabba.<br />
He came across a tree that had a bunch of grapes but was very high. He tried to jump (make her jump) but could not reach the grapes (kyonki bahut ooncha tha). Jumped more but he fell down. Then he saw a chicken passing by. He caught it and ate it and said (pat on the stomach) "Yummy".<br />
Moral of the story: Chicken is very tasty</blockquote>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
We made a short trip last Sunday to the Lohgadh Boat Club. Nice place for 3-4 hour visit.<br />
<br /></div>

<br />
IMO the boating's a bit on the expensive side - we paid 1400 for a ride on the speed boat. No peddle boats available (my favorite kind). There's a restaurant providing a fantastic view of the sunset. The snacks we were served was pretty good, onion bhaji & omelette. There's also a random collection of animals (peacocks, ducks, cats, horse-ride) which would definitely excite the kids (me as well :). The 3 kids we had with us definitely enjoyed the visit.<br />
<br />
The shortest road via Somatane Phata is not good, it took us hour and a half from Chinchwad. I recommend taking the road from Kamshet, which we took while coming back, and was much better.<br />
Recommend stopping at Kinara Dhaba, Sunny Dhaba or Tony da Dhaba for dinner while returning via the old Mumbai-Pune Highway.<br />

I have a vague memory of going to public grounds in <a href="https://www.google.co.in/maps/preview#!q=ambala%2C+haryana&data=!4m15!2m14!1m13!1s0x390fb62a421e6f11%3A0xebd28a29f7258d14!3m8!1m3!1d3902499!2d76.7751435!3d18.8154265!3m2!1i1600!2i775!4f13.1!4m2!3d30.3781788!4d76.7766974" target="_blank">Ambala, Haryana</a> (that's where we lived when till I was 5) to witness Ravan Dahan on the eve of Dussehra. Mostly celebrated in this fashion in the North, in recent years Ravan Dahan has gained a steady popularity in Maharashtra as well.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I relived these memories on a chance visit to the Nav Maharashtra School Ground, Pimpri, 3 years ago:</div>

Now it has become an yearly ritual for me and family. The event is sponsored by <a href="https://www.google.co.in/search?q=amar+mulchandani+pimpri&rlz=1C1LENP_enUS477US477&oq=amar+moolchandandi+&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.7825j0j4&sourceid=chrome&espv=210&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8" target="_blank">Amar Moolchandani</a>. Each year there is a bigger stage and a bigger set of random politicians being invited to the event by the sponsors. I think the stage had more than a 100 guests this year.

The video of the main event (edited using <a href="http://avidemux.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">Avidemux</a>). To note: some of the frontbenchers realize that its not as cozy up close as they thought (1:48). In turn a burning Ravana decides to give a real close up view to the crowd as a small part of it files and lands among the frontbenchers (2:25).<br />

<br />
Some tips if you are planning to attend:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Ravan Dahan is done at 10 pm (very punctual)</li>
<li>Its a 2-3 hour entertainment program culminating in Ravan Dahan with dance, garbha, fire shows by local & international artists. You can also see fancy fireworks through out the show. If you have time go early - around 7.30 pm. </li>
<li>There is seating arrangement and if you go early you can find chairs. Even later (we went at 8.30) you can hunt for vacant chairs and take a seat towards the back.</li>
<li>Car parking, esp. if you go late, is a problem. The road going towards Pimple Saudagar is a good place to park your car and also avoid traffic when leaving. </li>
<li>In case you have reservations about the crowd - it's decent, lot of families, ladies and children.</li>
<li>Wait for 15-20 minutes after the event so that getting out of there is a lot easier</li>
<li>There are barricades to prevent people from going too close when the effigies are burned. However depending on the wind direction standing right up to the barricades is not advisable. Often burning ash floats over to the front of the crowd. Holding the chairs over your head (like an umbrella) can be used for protection :). Nothing serious though.</li>
</ol>

As an engineer, I can think of some obvious optimizations for fellow fathers in case they are given a similar one-day assignment:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Pick her favorite food. Since I don't feed her regularly, her lunch and evening snack was her favorite food so that eating stress is neutralized.</li>
<li>Restrict her play area to avoid running after her and some of the heavy lifting. </li>
<li>It might be worth investing in the 15 minute stroll (maybe accompanied by song) if that makes her sleep - will give both of you much needed rest :)</li>
<li>Do not plan to do any office work - most likely you will not get any free time to get involved in any other activity</li>
<li>Pay attention to her and her surrounding - with an active baby around small crises occur with unnatural probabilities. So that glass of water on the table or that unattended plate of food may quickly turn into more cleaning work. Prevention is definitely better than cure</li>
<li>Be extremely patient</li>
</ol>
Enjoy your day & relish these moments :)<br />

I am forever amused by the "Sibilant S" used to coax reluctant infant bladders. Not sure if this is an India-only tradition, but you can often witness anxious mothers, toddlers in tow, making a beeline to the bathroom throughout the day trying to avoid an "outside incident". And inside the bathroom its desperate pleas followed by veiled threats and intermittently the "Sibilant S" to let it go...though only occasionally successful.<br />
Indoctrinated by years of practice what if they really made a sub conscious association - imagine a teacher trying to quieten a class room full of students shhhhh...<br />

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pooja.tapadia.10" target="_blank">Wifey</a> keeps complaining about my wardrobe, making (seemingly) wild allegations that all my shirts look alike. Most Monday mornings I face the daunting task of picking a shirt to begin the week with, while trying to desperately claw at the vague recollection of what I wore on Thursday, the previous week (Friday's are casual). Pooja's of no help as she revels in the vindication of her claim, reiterating that it does not matter what I wear, since every shirt looks the same.

There's limited choice when it comes to men's formals with the additional constraint of lighter shades due to my natural color - I got 33% of tall, dark & handsome (My marriage bio data says I am wheatish ;). And I love blues. My practical solution is to have uniforms in office. That way we all have 1 less thing to worry about and can focus on more pressing problems like what to pack for lunch?</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><b>Update:</b></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Going through some team outing photos taken over 3 years, I realized a frequently repeated item - the black shirt in my profile photo...oh well</div>

Today I find myself humbled by the love and affection from a team that was a part of my professional and personal life for the last 6 and a half years. It is time to say good bye as I end an association that has pretty much defined me, made me what I am today. I thank you all for your undying support, commitment and affection. "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_on_the_shoulders_of_giants">1</a>]" - what you see in me is a reflection of your hard work, dedication and excellence.<br />
I leave with memories that I will always hold very close to my heart, in the hope of ever-lasting friendships and that our professional paths meet again.<br />
Thank You Team Cover-All@<a href="http://www.synechron.com/">Synechron Technologies</a><br />
Looking forward to my next assignment at Synechron...<br />
<br />
Some memories:<br />

I finally got down to the not-so-fun task of updating my resume after a gap of more than 6 years - that is when I left my last job. Some pointers based on my personal experience:<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Keep it short. This is one constant irritant I have seen through a few hundred interviews taken through the last 6 years. Everyone loves talking about their project even if their contribution was 10 lines of code. Mention only significant projects, a short description and your role was on the project. Trust me, no one is interested in reading a 5 page discourse about your professional background. I cut down my long essay style resume to 2 pages. Resumes act as conversation starters - after that its really the interview that matters.</li>
<li>Spelling & Grammar. Proof read it and proof read it again. If you do not have a strong command on language, get it verified by someone else. These mistakes may get your resume rejected even before reaching the technical team.</li>
<li>Make it pretty. Format your resume properly. Do not use spaces or tabs for indentation. Use tables in word and once done, hide the borders. From the scores of people being considered for a position a prettier one is definitely going to register in the mind of the recruiter</li>
<li>Know what you claim you know. No need to mention the gazillion technologies used on your project when you worked only on one of them. The interviewer has every right to question you on what you claimed to know on your resume. Clean it out and focus on your strengths.</li>
<li>Use keywords. If you are applying for a java developer job that requires spring & hibernate knowledge (and you have relevant experience), mention it clearly in your skill or summary section. The first search recruiters run is through keywords. This ensures that your resume will at least show up in their search</li>
<li>Include any awards and special recognition. This helps in creating a first impression on your interviewer</li>
<li>Every certification is worth a mention. I am extremely skeptical about the true value of technology certifications, however given no standardization, many companies & recruiters look for people with standard industry certifications. So that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Certification_Program" target="_blank">SCJP</a> you did 10 years ago might still be useful to get you noticed :)</li>
<li>Convert to PDF - do not send out doc or docx files. Instead convert it to pdf so that it's cross platform compliant and will print exactly how it looks on your computer.</li>
</ol>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I recently applied for Avani's passport on <a href="http://passport.gov.in/" target="_blank">http://passport.gov.in/</a> and have to say that the new system and process has come a long way from when I renewed my passport about a year back.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>You start by filling an online application on the website above</li>
<li>Pay online and book an appointment. <b>You do not need an appointment for minors</b>. I had taken an appointment but had to cancel it and take a fresh printout of the receipt.</li>
<li>Print your receipt (no need to print form) and carry self attested copies and originals of your documents. There is also a nice <a href="https://portal1.passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/docAdvisorSecure/attachmentAdvisorInp" target="_blank">document advisor</a> that gives a list of documents that are needed as proof</li>
<li>The passport office in pune is locate <a href="https://www.google.co.in/maps/preview#!q=Passport+Seva+Kendra%2C+Zero+One%2C+S.No.79%2F1%2C+Ghorpadi+-+Mundhwa+Road%2CPingle+Wasti%2C+Opp.+Ganga+Orchid%2C+Mundhwa+Rd%2C+Ghorpadi%2C+Pune%2C+MH&data=!1m4!1m3!1d3817!2d73.9168262!3d18.5333638!4m10!1m9!4m8!1m3!1d3902499!2d76.7751435!3d18.8154265!3m2!1i1600!2i775!4f13.1" target="_blank">here</a></li>
<li>Do not forget any printouts. The only shops to take printouts opposite the passport office are notary offices who charge a bomb for a single printout. Even though I had a pdf on a USB drive, one guy asked for Rs 30 for printing my cancelled receipt. I did find a cyber cafe (a little down the road towards Ghorpadi) who was reasonable at Rs. 3/printout</li>
<li>The document verification <a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/from-febmarch-applying-for-passport-to-get-easier/889879/" target="_blank">has been outsourced</a> and you have to go through 4 levels (Foyer - where you are given a bar-coded folder, A, B, C) of verification to finish the process.</li>
<li>Overall the process has been streamlined (I had spent 2 full days at the old office for my renewal), though the waiting times between subsequent levels needs to be reduced. I was in by 10 AM and out by 12.30 pm</li>
<li>There is a photocopy machine inside the office that can be used to take copies</li>
<li>The office has a decent waiting area, is air conditioned and clean. Rarely found luxuries in govt. offices across the country :)</li>

This is hands down, the best fish joint in Pune. I have tried various other places on recommendation from friends, including Mahesh Lunch Home, Nisarg, but none of them comes even close! Vikas (the owner) serves only fried fish with a bowl of gravy - so you can go at it with chapati or rice. He gets fresh fish delivered in the evening, so dinner is better than lunch. However you have to follow a strict protocol to eat here:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Call Vikas on his <a href="http://www.justdial.com/Pune/Vikas-Lunch-Home-%3Cnear%3E-Kasarwadi/020PXX20-XX20-130202124938-Y9X3_BZDET" target="_blank">number</a> +919850029980 - between 5.45 - 6.15 PM for dinner and between 10.30 to 11.15 AM for lunch. </li>
<li>Order exactly what you want to eat (for example - 2 surmai, 2 pomfret etc) and tell him what time you will be coming</li>
<li>Arrive at the restaurant at the appointed time. In case you feel like eating more - check with him. Usually he will not accept orders if not previously booked on phone :)</li>
</ol>
The fish is served in smaller pieces due to which it gets cooked better. Hygiene is ok, not a family joint. I recommend ordering a take away.
<br />
<b>Damages: </b>Rs. 80/surmai, Rs 50/Bombil, Rs 120/Pompfret

This joint serves by far the best idlis & medu wada I have eaten in Pune. The sambhar & coconut chutni is also pretty good. A tangy red chutni is available on demand. However, the place could do a lot better with more hygiene and better staff. The staff behavior can be a major turnoff.<br />

Typical Maharashtrian snack joint, excellent food with very good hygiene standards. This is our current Sunday breakfast place. Definitely try the pohey here (only available in morning).<br />

Spiciest misal (or any other food) I have ever eaten. Was a formerly (during college days) frequented joint. No longer have the stomach for the super hot rassa they serve. It has created a unique brand for itself, a real show me you are a real man place :). They also serve good Batata Bhaji in the evening. Hygiene definitely needs a lot of improvement<br />

I like the pani puri here. The alu tikki is as close to the original North Indian tikki you can get around here. Definitely way better than the crap they serve in Sai Chowk, Pimpri - famous for ragda pattis.<br />
<b>Damages:</b> Rs 40 for dahi cholle tikki, Rs 20/Pani Puri<br />

Disappointed a by the high cost of parts and labor at the Ford showroom we decided to replace the headlamp of my Ford Fiesta (2006 model, manufacturing year 2009) at home. Used this <span id="goog_980893517"></span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih8TulXYGtU" target="_blank">video</a> <span id="goog_980893518"></span>as a starting point, however I found it incomplete, missing some very important details. Hence this post.<br />
All credit to my father for executing this project and teaching me a valuable life hacker lesson. Thanks Dad!<br />

<li>Once this final screw is removed, the headlamp assembly will be lose and move in-place, though still not fully detached from the body. There is a parking light wire and a main headlamp wire that need to be detached. The parking light wire was particularly troublesome - probably due to a defective holder. It came off the light assembly with a gentle twist. The image below shows how to reach the parking light holder: </li>

<li>Its a 12V, 75 Watt Lamp. Ford does not allow over the counter sale of parts in India. I got my lamp from local parts dealer for Rs.250 and had the same specifications/ratings as the original. Once you replace the lamp follow the steps in reverse order to fit the assembly back.</li>
</ol>
<div>
I am not sure if these are the steps as per the repair manual, but it is a fairly complicated process (esp. the screw under the grill & the head lamp holder metal clip) to do a simple replacement. I do wish they make it simpler. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall the company policy of restricting over the counter sale of parts and also not providing a repair manual (though pretty useless, since the former is not available) is completely in favor of vehicle dealers rather than car owners. Ford and other manufacturers should learn something from the industry leader <a href="http://www.mgp.co.in/" target="_blank">Maruti</a> and start over the counter sale of parts.</div>

Assuming you find the blog name (6ton) funky and a feel a desperate urge to understand the origins of the name - 6ton would be read as "che"ton in Hindi which is close enough and yet cool enough, unique and available. The best I can trace the origin of the word is to dear friend Rahul who rechristened yours truly in early days of our friendship. Credits to <a href="http://icons.iconarchive.com/" target="_blank">iconarchive</a> for the fav icon<br />
<br />
The former name <a href="http://6ton.blogspot.in/2007/09/what-is-ztmd.html">ztmd</a>, though cool <strike>in its own right</strike>, or in my own mind :), was ridiculously difficult to remember, even for me.<br />
