A Localization journey - A Farmer's tale - A Delightful Experience

It was on my way back in a cramped out bus, travelling researching about language changes and variations within the state of Andhra Pradesh, that I sat next to a man, quite old.

Me : What do you use in the internet? How do you talk to your son?
Old man: I go to Rajat's Net Cafe nearby by house and then talk from there on Google (meant Google+)
Me : Do you know how to read English and understand which button to click and so on?
Old man : Oh, i don't know English, but i use it in Telugu. The shop guy Rajat has seen me since he was small, so after my son went to Delhi, he separately bought a Telugu keyboard so that i can be using the keyboard.
Me: Okay, but then how do you read the information on the computer screen? Isn't that in English?
Old man : (Laughs) Don't you know, there is this software something called Firefox, it is in Telugu.
Me : Really? Can you tell me how the software looks?
Old man : You should know more, you're an engineering student but if you ask i'll tell you, its a small thing like this earth picture but a small cat , orange in colour is holding it.
Me: (smiling crazily) You know how to use it in Telugu?
Old man : Yeah, its not hard, I know how to read Telugu and also know how to use mouse, so clicking gets me the job done.

There was never a time I had belief of religion, even in my memory. But I had to face this question ‘are you a Muslim’ many times. The tone of those questions were unbelievable mixed with wonder. Many Hindu friends who live and dress like me never had to face questions like ‘Oh! You are like this even when you are a Hindu’. Until some time ago I never wanted to answer yes or no. I used to ask back why do you look at caste and religion. To be exact, till 2008. From that year, I started changing answer to that question.

വിശ്വാസമോ മതമോ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്ന ഒരു കാലം എന്റെ ഓര്‍മയില്‍ പോലും ഇല്ല. പക്ഷെ നിങ്ങള്‍ മുസ്ലീം ആണോ എന്ന ചോദ്യം ഞാന്‍ പലപ്പോഴും നേരിടേണ്ടി വന്നിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഒരു തരം ‘അവിശ്വസനീയത കലര്‍ന്ന അത്ഭുതമായിരുന്നു ആ ചോദ്യങ്ങളുടെ ടോണ്‍. എന്നെ പോലെ ഒക്കെ വസ്ത്രം ധരിക്കുകയോ ജീവിക്കുകയോ ഒക്കെ ചെയ്യുന്ന ഹിന്ദു സുഹൃതുക്കള്‍ക്കാകട്ടെ ‘ഓ ! നിങ്ങള്‍ ഹിന്ദു ആണോ എന്നിട്ടും നിങ്ങള്‍ ഇങ്ങനെ ഒക്കെ ആയിരിക്കുന്നല്ലോ’ എന്ന ചോദ്യം ഒരിക്കലും നേരിടേണ്ടി വരാറുമില്ല. കുറച്ചു കാലം മുന്‍പ് വരെ, മുസ്ലീം ആണോ എന്ന ചോദ്യത്തോട് അതെ, എന്നോ അല്ല എന്നോ പറയാന്‍ ഞാന്‍ താല്പര്യപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നില്ല. എന്തിനാണ് നിങ്ങള്‍ ജാതിയും മതവും നോക്കുന്നത് എന്ന് തിരിച്ചു ചോദിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു ഞാന്‍ ചെയ്തിരുന്നത്. കൃത്യമായി പറഞ്ഞാല്‍ 2008 വരെ. ആ വര്‍ഷം മുതലാണ്‌ ആ ചോദ്യത്തിന്റെ ഉത്തരം ഞാന്‍ മാറ്റി പറയാന്‍ തുടങ്ങിയത്.

In that year I got into many problems after Indian Mujahidin used an article I wrote for The Hoot portal in a letter send to media after taking responsibility for Delhi bomb blasts (I never understood, then or even now, who or what this India Mujahidin is. They may be terrorists, as Justice Katju said, may be paid media, may be even IB. Whoever that is I realised then that they are somewhere near. To know that in person is a terrifying experience. I have written that in FEC.). I met then minister of state for home Shri Prakash Jaiswal’s secretary, knowing I would be questioned by Maharashtra anti terror squad and wanting to prove my innocence. After reading my written complaint (about my article being misused), his first question was that. “ARE YOU A MUSLIM “?

ഡല്‍ഹി സ്ഫോടനത്തിന്റെ ഉത്തരവാദിത്തം ഏറ്റെടുത്തു കൊണ്ട് ഇന്ത്യന്‍ മുജാഹെദീന്‍ എന്ന സംഘടന മാധ്യമങ്ങള്‍ക്ക് അയച്ച കത്തില്‍, ദി ഹൂട്ട് എന്ന പോര്‍ട്ടലില്‍ ഞാന്‍ എഴുതിയ ഒരു ലേഖനം ഉപയോഗിക്കപ്പെടുകയും തുടര്‍ന്ന് ഞാന്‍ വലിയ പ്രശ്നങ്ങളില്‍ അകപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്തത് ആ വര്‍ഷമാണ്‌. (ഈ ഇന്ത്യന്‍ മുജാഹിദീന്‍ ആരാണെന്നും എന്താണെന്നും അന്നും ഇന്നും എനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലായിട്ടില്ല. അവര്‍ ചിലപ്പോള്‍ ഭീകരവാദികള്‍ ആവാം, ജസ്റ്റിസ്‌ കട്ജു പറഞ്ഞത് പോലെ paid media ആവാം, അല്ലെങ്കില്‍ ഐ ബി തന്നെയാവാം. ആരായാലും അവര്‍ നമ്മുടെ തൊട്ടടുത്ത്‌ എവിടെയോ ഉണ്ട് എന്ന് അന്നെനിക്ക് മനസ്സിലായി. അത് നേരിട്ട് അറിയുക എന്നത് വിറങ്ങലിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഒരു അനുഭവം ആണ്. എഫ് ഇ സിയില്‍ ഞാന്‍ അത് എഴുതിയിട്ടുണ്ട്). മഹാരാഷ്ട്ര ആന്റി ടെറര്‍ സ്ക്വാഡ് എന്നെ ചോദ്യം ചെയ്തേക്കും എന്നറിഞ്ഞു, എന്റെ നിരപരാധിത്വം ബോധ്യപ്പെടുത്താനായി, അന്നത്തെ ആഭ്യന്തര സഹമന്ത്രിയായിരുന്ന ‘ശ്രീ പ്രകാശ്‌ ജൈസ്വാളിന്റെ സെക്രടറിയെ ഞാന്‍ പോയി കണ്ടു. ഞാന്‍ എഴുതി തയ്യാറക്കിയ പരാതി (എന്റെ ലേഖനം ദുരുപയോഗം ചെയ്യപ്പെട്ടതിനെ കുറിച്ച്) വായിച്ചു നോക്കിയതിനു ശേഷം അദേഹത്തിന്റെ ആദ്യത്തെ ചോദ്യം അതായിരുന്നു. “ARE YOU A MUSLIM “?

Even though I knew saying no or I don’t practice any religion would make me safer, that time I wanted to say yes. So my confusion towards that question came to an end that day. That time I felt, saying no or I’m not a believer would amount to betraying thousands of innocent Muslims. Again after two years, when the same question came to me as a ‘curtain raiser’ for Karnataka Police’s interrogation, I didn’t have to think at all to say yes.

അല്ല എന്നോ, ഞാന്‍ ഒരു മതവും പ്രാക്ടീസ് ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല എന്നോ ഒക്കെ ഉള്ള ഉത്തരങ്ങള്‍ ഒരു പക്ഷെ എന്നെ കൂടുതല്‍ സേഫ് ആക്കിയെക്കും എന്നറിയാമായിരുന്നെങ്കിലും അപ്പോള്‍ എനിക്ക് അതെ എന്ന് പറയാനാണ് തോന്നിയത്. അങ്ങനെ ആ ചോദ്യത്തോടുള്ള എന്റെ സന്ദേഹം അന്നവസാനിച്ചു. അല്ല എന്നോ ‘ഞാന്‍ വിശ്വാസിയല്ല’ എന്നോ ഒക്കെ പറയുന്നത്, നിരപരാധികളായ ആയിരക്കണക്കിന് മുസ്ലീങ്ങളെ ഒറ്റികൊടുക്കുന്നത് പോലെയാവും എന്നാണ് എനിക്കപ്പോള്‍ തോന്നിയത്. പിന്നെയും രണ്ടു വര്‍ഷത്തിനു ശേഷം കര്‍ണാടക പോലീസിന്റെ ഇന്റെരൊഗെഷന്റെ ‘കര്‍റ്റന്‍ റൈസര്‍’ ആയി ഒരിക്കല്‍ കൂടി ഈ ചോദ്യം എന്റെ നേരെ വന്നപ്പോള്‍ അതെ എന്ന് പറയാന്‍ എനിക്ക് ഒട്ടും ആലോചിക്കേണ്ടി വന്നില്ല.

[Previous installments on Nested Virtualization with KVM and Intel.]

This is part of some recent testing that I’ve been doing with upstream KVM (for 3.10.1). The threads linked here has initial tests bench-marking kernel compile (with make defconfig, a default config file) times in L2. And some minimal guestfish appliance start-up timings in L1.

Some details:

• Setup information to test with VMCS (Virtual Machine Control Structure) Shadowing. In brief, VMCS Shadowing — a processor specific feature — as described upstream, can reduce the overhead of nested virtualization by reducing the number of VMExits from L1 to L0.
• Simple scripts used to create L1 and L2.
• Libvirt XMLs of L1, L2 guests, for reference.

The gritty details of reasons for VMExits are described in Intel architecture manuals, Volume 3b, APPENDIX 1.

ಇವತ್ತು ಹುಷಾರಿಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಹತ್ರ ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೆ, ನನಗಿಂತ ಮೊದಲೇ ಬಂದವರು ಒಬ್ಬರಿದ್ದರು ಹಾಗೇ ಕಾಯುತ್ತಾ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದೆ.

ಆಗ ಸಲ್ಪ ವಯಸ್ಸಾದ ಲೇಡಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಅವರ ಮಗ ಅನ್ನಿಸುತ್ತೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೆ ಬಂದರು. ಸಲ್ಪ ಗ್ರಾಂಡ್ ಆಗೇ ಡ್ರೆಸ್ ಮಾಡ್ಕೊಂಡಿದ್ರು, ಎಲ್ಲೋ ಮದುವೆ ಅಥವಾ ರಿಸೆಪ್ಷನ್ ಗೆ ಹೋಗುವವರಿರಬೇಕು ಅನ್ನಿಸ್ತಿತ್ತು..

ನನ್ನ ನಂತರ ಮತ್ಯಾರೂ ಇರ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ, ಸೋ ಇಬ್ಬರ ಚೆಕ್ ಅಪ್ ಮುಗಿಯೋ ತನಕ ಅವರು ಕಾಯಬೇಕಿತ್ತು ಅಷ್ಟೆ. ಅವರು ನನ್ನತ್ರ ಹೇಳಿದ್ರು.. ನಮ್ಮ ಅಮ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಬಿಪಿ ತುಂಬಾ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಇದೆ ಬೇಗ ತೋರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗ್ಬಿಡ್ತೀವಿ.

ಅವರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದೆ ನಿಜ ಹೇಳ್ತಿದಾರೋ ಸುಳ್ಳು ಹೇಳ್ತಿದಾರೋ ಗೊತ್ತಾಗ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ.. ನಾನು ಹೇಳಿದೆ, ನನಗೆ ಜ್ವರ ಸುಡುತ್ತಾ ಇದೆ, ನಾನು ಕಾಯುತ್ತನೂ ಸಲ್ಪ ಹೊತ್ತಾಯಿತು ಅಂದೆ.

ಅವರು ಅಲ್ಲೇ ಕಾಯುತ್ತಾ ನಿಂತರು, ನನ್ನ ಸರದಿ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಬಿಟ್ಟುಬಿಡೋಣ ಇಷ್ಟು ಹೊತ್ತು ಕಾದಿದ್ದೀನಲ್ಲ ಇವರದ್ದಾಗುವವರೆಗೂ ಕಾದೇ ಬಿಡೋಣ ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡೆ. ಆದ್ರೆ ಈಗಲೇ ಹೇಳೋದು ಬೇಡ ನನ್ನ ಸರದಿ ಬಂದಾಗ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಹೋಗಲು ಹೇಳಿದ್ರಾಯ್ತು ಅಂತ ಸುಮ್ಮನಿದ್ದೆ.

ಆದರೆ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಒಂದೈದು ನಿಮಿಷವೂ ಕಾಯಲಾಗದೆ ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಹೊರಟು ಹೋದರು..

ಅವರು ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ ಅವರ ಅಮ್ಮನಿಗೆ ಬಿಪಿ ಜಾಸ್ತಿ ಇದ್ದಿದ್ದೇ ನಿಜ ಆಗಿದ್ರೆ ಸಲ್ಪ ಹೊತ್ತು ಕಾದು ಡಾಕ್ಟರ್ ಹತ್ತಿರ ತೋರಿಸಿಕೊಂಡೇ ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದರು, ಇನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಪ ಕಾಯಬೇಕು ಅಂದಾಗ ಬಿಪಿ ಕಮ್ಮಿ ಆಯಿತಾ? ಜನಕ್ಕೆ ಅನುಕಂಪ ತೋರಿಸ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂದರೆ ದುರ್ಬಳಕೆ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋರೇ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ಅಂತ ಬೇಸರ ಆಯಿತು.

I the only source of Internet connection I have currently is my phone. I wanted to share this network with other systems, via a lan/wireless router. So here is a basic setup:

• Android Phone with USB Tethering
• Laptop ( Fedora 18 )
• Wireless Router with Lan
• A desktop machine ( Fedora 17 )

Setting up Internet gateway: Laptop + Android Phone

I connected Android Phone via USB cable to the laptop and enabled USB thether, so I have a usb device /dev/usb0. This was automatically detected by Network Manager. Also I connected Laptop to the router via a LAN.

I setup the NAT on my Laptop using this script as follows:

# cat nat.sh
IFOUT=usb0
IFLAN=em1
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward &&
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $IFOUT -j MASQUERADE &&
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $IFOUT -o $IFLAN -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT &&
sudo iptables -A FORWARD -i $IFLAN -o $IFOUT -j ACCEPT

So all I had to do to setup is do this:

# sh nat.sh

And IPTABLES take care of masquerading the IP addresses to-and-fro from local network to the internet. I received IP address 192.168.1.2 for the Laptop, which becomes a default gateway for rest of the machines connected to the router.

Setting up Internet user: Desktop machine

Now on the desktop machine ( with IP address 192.168.1.3 ), I only had to setup the routes and DNS server:

# route add default gw 192.168.1.2
# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.2     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 em1
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 em1
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 em1

# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
# Generated by NetworkManager
#nameserver 192.168.1.3
nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
nameserver 192.168.42.129

Thats all, that was needed. I had done the NAT + MASQUERADE setup earlier, however it was on Fedora Core 2 and some commands didn’t match up, esp. how to use conntrack module.

After upgrading to Android Jellybean (4.2.2) the 'adb (Android Debug Bridge)' program failed to connect my Android mobile phone. Running 'adb devices' in the terminal showed error: device offline message.

Recently Android switched to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). Unfortunately MTP support has some issues. For now I have to resort to using 'adb' command to work with my Android mobile phone.

Digging around the Internet, I learned that Android Jellybean has a new security feature. You need to do RSA key fingerprint verification with the PC. Otherwise the Android device will be reported as offline.

How to Fix ADB Device Offline Error

Here are the steps to connect to your Android device with adb.

• Get the latest version of adb. Update using Android SDK android program: 'android update adb'
• Restart adb server with 'adb kill-server'
• Unplug and reconnect the device to a different USB port
• Repeat last two steps until you see 'Allow USB Debugging?' dialog on your android device.
• Select 'Always allow from this computer' option

Now you can talk to your Android device using the adb commands.

To fetch rawhide kernels from Koji (Fedora build system), this is what I do:

Install the group “RPM Development Tools” to get koji packages

$ yum groupinstall "RPM Development Tools" 

NOTE: If you’re using versions < Fedora 19, please do: yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Find the latest kernel in Rawhide

$ koji latest-pkg rawhide kernel

kernel-3.10.0-0.rc0.git26.1.fc20          f20                   jwboyer

Download the resultant kernel from the o/p of the above command.

$ koji download-build \
  --arch=x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-0.rc0.git23.1.fc20 

Finally, install it

$ yum localinstall *.rpm 

A few weeks back, a strange bird call started waking me up.  Though red-whiskered bulbuls are supposed to be pretty common, I’d not heard them or seen one up close.

There were two of them making rounds throughout the day, and they used to visit one plant in my terrace-garden frequently.  I took that as a sign that they’re building a nest, and ensured they don’t get disturbed when the visited.  I tried taking a few pictures, but couldn’t manage good ones: these birds are very shy, and any they’re very alert to any movement or human presence.  There’s a better photo at wikipedia.

Exactly one week after they started arriving, they had built a nest and they didn’t make as much noise as earlier.  That made me curious.  I checked out their nest, and was quite delighted to see an egg:

Red whiskered bulbul’s nest with egg

Red whiskered bulbul’s nest with egg — camera flash on.

The next day I woke up to a lot of mayhem, lots of bird noises near the plant.  I didn’t feel like disturbing anything there.  When the commotion died down, I went to check, and saw the egg was missing.  That was a sad end to the week-long activity around the nest.  I initially suspected pigeons, permanent residents in the terrace, to have caused the damage.  However, later in the day, a big crow came by near the same plant (crows have never come inside the terrace earlier).  Wonder what this all means, and where the egg vanished.

More than Death, losing my memory scares the shit out of me.
It makes me queasy to think that all the wonderful experiences I had, the secrets in my head, my tough times and failures can go poof; slowly or in an instant without warning.

Doesn’t matter if its due to some fucked up illness like Alzheimer’s or a freak accident from sheer bad luck. It is very possible that I won’t be me one day.

The only bright side is that at least parts of my identity will live on as memories in people close to me if that happens. Coming to think of it, things won’t be that bad after all . As they say,
