China, India, Tibet, Arunachal Pradesh Yesterday Prime minister Modi visited Arunachal Pradesh to inaugurate its first ever railway link. Within hours, Chinese government protested by saying “India should pay attention to the strong concern of the Chinese Side”.

wrf_install : Helper scripts to build WRF model (v0.7 release) wrf_instll is a small project consists of a bunch of shell scripts which I use for building WRF model.

I just now released v0.7 with a lot of improvements. This…
Restoration of sapporoindians site. Few years ago, I created a website for Indian Association Sapporo (or IAS as we call it). I think most of our community members don’t even bother to look at it. It is mainly indented to help those Indians who are planning to come to Sapporo. This website is a simple wordpress site with less than 5 pages. But Last year, I noticed it has a security flaw which had…

It still needs some polishing. But its in working shape, in fact, this blog post is written by using the that package. As I use it more and more I will improve progressively.

The Unusual Suspects of Cricket World Cup 2015 In my last post I discussed the possible winners of the World Cup 2015. Now I try to predict the possible high impact players of this world cup.

Emacs minor mode timer-revert-mode Yesterday instead of writing thesis I was wasting time to write a small minor mode. Fortunately it came good and I put it on github. timer-revert-mode reverts a buffer when its associated files modifies in the background. Yes, there is auto-revert-mode for that. But auto-revert-mode was causing more problems than it solve for my use case. The commentary from the…
New blog setup with tinkerer. I finished migrating this site to tinkerer blog engine from o-blog in the last weekend.

That is fine what if you have new lines like this A friend of…
