ROCKING !!! The movie rocked like hell…just too good….

Okay..enough…let me start with the review now…..

The movie starts with the plan of making a film based on Bhagat Singh and his efforts for the freedom. Sue (Alice Patten) gets inspiration to make the film by reading her Grand father’s diary (who was officer at the jail where freedom fighters were locked up…)

Sue visits India for her film, she gets help from her friend Sonia (Soha Ali Khan), Sonia introduces Sue to her friends Aslam (Kunal Kapoor), Karan (Siddharth), DJ (Amir Khan) and Sukhi (Sharman Joshi). All of them were ex-students and believed in living life with fun and not worrying about the world, having fun in their own world all the time. Sue manages to get all of them including political worker (who is hated by all of them except Sue) Lakshman (Atul Kulkarni) to act in her film.

The first half of the movie revolves around making film and all the fun they had…but the 2nd part is more serious and shows how thinking of these 4 guys changed after working in the film…

For last few days my server was creating lot of problems..I was also fed up with it and was about to get paid support from my datacenter…I had checked everything on the server, could not find anything wrong…and I missed to check error_log file….which is one of the first things to be checked…

Today I checked the file and found a PHP script creating feof() errors and increasing the load….found the site name from the logs and suspended it…

Things seem to be running smoothly now.. :)

So moral of the story….check error_log first when thing go wrong with the server….

I got 3 missed calls from a number in the morning…I finally got fedup and called that number back…someone picked up and said “Welcome HSBC Bank, How may I help you?” I asked someone had given me missed calls on my cell from this number…the guy replied back asking “Are you HSBC credit card customer?”, I said “Yes” He asked me for my credit card number…I asked for the reason…he replied saying..he will need credit card number to trace the reason for calling…

I was bit shocked and told him..why the hell you need credit card number for that? Which branch of HSBC are you calling from? I am going to report this to HSBC main branch….

He said okay and disconnected the line….

I called up HSBC customer support…gave details about this incident and gave them the number…which was 56667199

I hope now they will trace the people calling from that number and catch them…I have emailed this to Mid-Day also….let’s see what they have to say about this…

Moral of the story: If you receive these kind of calls,

1. Do not give your card number at any cost.

2. Note down the phone number and report it to the customer support of your bank.

The best credit card is the card that allows you to save with every transaction.

Our mom used to say “Bad Boy” when we used to do any mischief…and now its my turn to say Bad boy..oops Bad server…

Server is acting badly today…took me 5 mins to get in itself…checked the processes…found few pending cronjobs running at the same time including backup’s job (which was taking good amount of memory)….killed the backup cronjob…restarted exim, httpd and mysql…

Now things seem to be running fine…

I hope it does not create problems for next 2 days now…I will be almost out whole day for 2 days…have meetings with clients…
