Anil Dahiya's Advice on Prenuptial Agreement
1. Prenuptial agreement is not feasible. (Anil was not aware the prenuptial agreement does not even exist in India with the exception of Goa.)
2. His advice to me: "If you will discuss it with her, she will start doubting you."
3. "It maybe right for you but it may not be right thing for her."

What Anil Suggests I Should Find Out
1. How is the girl's family?
2. Thought process of the girl.
3. The basic background check. Past relationships, drinking or smoking habits, etc.

His Advice About Going AbroadIndia will need a lot of time to develop due to its lame policies such as the one about "Age Limit On Entering The PSUs". India has an age limit for who can apply for a job in a PSU (Public Sector Undertaking).
It is not like that in other countries.

We would begin with a line about Python String from the book "Pg 191, Learning Python (O'Reilly, 5e)":
Strictly speaking, Python strings are categorized as immutable sequences, meaning that the characters they contain have a left-to-right positional order and that they cannot be changed in place. In fact, strings are the first representative of the larger class of objects called sequences that we will study here. Pay special attention to the sequence operations introduced in this post, because they will work the same on other sequence types we’ll explore later, such as lists and tuples.
Table 7-1. Common string literals and operations

S = ''
Empty string
S = "spam's"
Double quotes, same as single
S = 's\np\ta\x00m'

S = r'\temp\spam'
Raw strings (no escapes) print(S) # \temp\spam
B = b'sp\xc4m'
Byte strings in 2.6, 2.7, and 3.X print(B) # b'sp\xc4m'

str_1[4]'I'# Picking characters from fifth to tenthstr_1[4:10]'I am A'# Print the length of the stringprint(len(str_1))

pets = ['python', 'gopher']
print("owner:", owner)
print("id(owner): ", id(owner))
print("id(pets): ", id(pets))
owner = owner.replace('A', 'X')
# Note: we don't have a "replace()" method for Python lists.
pets[0] = 'cat'
print("owner:", owner)
print("id(owner): ", id(owner))
print("id(pets): ", id(pets))
owner = owner.replace('X', 'A')
pets[0] = 'python'
print("owner:", owner)
print("id(owner): ", id(owner))
print("id(pets): ", id(pets))
print("Trivial replacement:")
owner = owner.replace('A', 'A')
print("owner:", owner)
print("id(owner): ", id(owner))owner: Ashish
id(owner): 2287299151536
id(pets): 2287299204096
owner: Xshish
id(owner): 2287299080624
id(pets): 2287299204096
owner: Ashish
id(owner): 2287298874672
id(pets): 2287299204096
Trivial replacement:
owner: Ashish
id(owner): 2287298874672Now the question is: did it actually perform the trivial replace operation in this case or not?
Creating Replace For List
# a loop to do the replacement in-placewords = ['I', 'like', 'chicken']
for i, word in enumerate(words):
if word == 'chicken':
words[i] = 'broccoli'
print(words)['I', 'like', 'broccoli']# a shorter option if there’s always exactly one instance:words = ['I', 'like', 'chicken']
words[words.index('chicken')] = 'broccoli'
print(words)['I', 'like', 'broccoli']# a list comprehension to create a new list:words = ['I', 'like', 'chicken']
new_words = ['broccoli' if word == 'chicken' else word for word in words]
print(new_words)['I', 'like', 'broccoli']# any of which can be wrapped up in a function:words = ['I', 'like', 'chicken']
def replaced(sequence, old, new):
return (new if x == old else x for x in sequence)
new_words = list(replaced(words, 'chicken', 'broccoli'))
print(new_words)['I', 'like', 'broccoli']

When I heard of the roka ceremony for Anu, I was like "do we also do that?"My mom called it "rokna" while talking to me and in Western countries, it is called engagement.
Yesterday it was decided that Anu and Tushar would exchange rings in the presence of the elders such as Tushar's tauji and cousins from Aligarh (I could be wrong about the place).
Anu wore a lemon colored saree and Tushar wore a dark green kurta and white pyjamas.
I was resting in my room in my bed due to the high caffeine intake yesterday. All of the required people had assembled in the living room and there were conversations about marriage, mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship, and all.
A joke I remember from these conversations is from Anil Kumar fufaji. It goes like this:
Secret of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is that daughter-in-law should daily touch mother-in-law's feet and mother should bless daughter by putting her hand on her head. If either one disobeys this secret, there would be fights.
Before the ceremony actually began or any roka related activity began, there was this period of silence which was not making me feel very comfortable. The way I sat on that chair without hand-rests was by bending forward with shoulders out and looking at my hands. I was restless and I knew that the posture would indicate the same thing to the people.
While writing about that moment I just happen to remember few more such moments of silence with other people at other times that I am going to share here:
1. We were in Amitabh's car. Asmita and myself. Amitabh was driving and we were returning from Elante mall (Sector 17, CHD) I think. It could be that it was some other eating place as we had come out for team outing that day. It was a party that Amitabh gave to the team for no reason as such, just an outing. Now we were going to drop Asmita at her place and there was this silent ride at night in Chandigarh. Then Amitabh broke the silence by saying: "Itna sannaataa kyon hai bhai?"That translates to "why it is so quiet, brother?". This is a famous dialogue from the 1975 Hindi movie Sholay.To respond to Amitabh, I said "people just say things that they want to say without meaning it, or without anyone listening to them and it all goes into air as if it never happened, as if saying it was no different from not saying it." To this Amitabh said, "you are right, we see people these days who are wasting away their lives in partying and drinking and in that alcohol influence they talk endlessly to ruin things not only for themselves but everyone."
2. There was this time when I again with my team but Amitabh was not there and I don't think even entire team was there. We were again at an eating place and it could be the Food Court. I was having this restlessness and temptation to speak and maybe it was also coming out in my body language that Kajal picked up. Seeing this she tells me that it is not mandatory that someone has to speak at all times when people come together. You can be quiet, at rest, at peace too.
3. It was on a call with a friend of mine Jayeta and after talking for 10-15 minutes there came a time when I was silent with her on the phone and then I spoke to ask "does my silence make you uncomfortable because that's how I am at a lot of times with a lot of people on a lot of calls". To this Jayeta replied something like "when two people become comfortable with the silence of each other that phase in the relationship is called "Thairaav". Thairaav is Hindi word for a very abstract and deep concept that I can try to put into English words. You may call it "stability" or "time when even the presence of other person comforts you", or more generally "when things have become slow and stable". Well, those were my three attempts to put the word across you.
~ ~ ~
The silence was also feeling awkward to me because Neelima maasi is a Kindergarten teacher and Priyanka is an HR.
While I write about the day of Roka after almost a year and a half, I would make little sense about the ceremony of roka itself. So what am saying here is absolutely like how I describe it to people. It is a vantage point, a view from my position.
In roka ceremony, the boy and his family are present at the girl's house. The girl's family does a tika to the boy. Tika means putting a mark on the forehead of the person with the crimson. Shape of tika varies if it is on boy or girl. For girl, it is like a circular spot and for boy, after you put a circular spot, you smudge it in the upward direction.
At the time of tika (crimson), there would be people clicking pictures so you would have to pose for them also.
After the tika (crimson), mom and I were to have a picture with the couple. Anu was on Tushar's left and I was on Anu's left. I asked her if I can bring my right arm around her from behind and hold her from the shoulder. She said 'no'.
All now I had to do was sit on the arm-rest, put my hands together with myself, smile and tilt my head in her direction to show some closeness between us.
Due to shortage of time at this moment on 23rd May 2021, I would try to wrap it up in few lines but I might write more if needed.
After the ceremony, we went to Haldiram's place in the Akshardham Temple's Parasvnath mall. There the catering service was not there. Accomodation for all the members of two families was not there. If accomodation could somehow be arraged, it was on separate tables and the manager said that we were not allowed to move the tables.
As for me, I did the catering work of bringing the food from the counter to the people sitting at their tables.
No shame in that. I had been part of Voice of Youth with Employee Relations team at my office and as being part of VoY, we were often required by the HR to help them organize events.

Keywords
1. Internet hosting
An Internet hosting service is a service that runs servers connected to the Internet, allowing organizations and individuals to serve content or host services connected to the Internet.
A common kind of hosting is web hosting. Most hosting providers offer a combination of services - e-mail hosting, website hosting, and database hosting, for example. DNS hosting service, another type of service usually provided by hosting providers, is often bundled with domain name registration.
Dedicated server hosts, provide a server, usually housed in a datacenter and connected to the Internet where clients can run anything they want (including web servers and other servers). The hosting provider ensures that the servers have Internet connections with good upstream bandwidth and reliable power sources.
Another popular kind of hosting service is shared hosting. This is a type of web hosting service, where the hosting provider provisions hosting services for multiple clients on one physical server and shares the resources between the clients. Virtualization is key to making this work effectively.Internet hosting2. Software Development
Software development is the process of conceiving, specifying, designing, programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications, frameworks, or other software components. Software development is a process of writing and maintaining the source code, but in a broader sense, it includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Therefore, software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products.
The software can be developed for a variety of purposes, the three most common being to meet specific needs of a specific client/business (the case with custom software), to meet a perceived need of some set of potential users (the case with commercial and open source software), or for personal use (e.g. a scientist may write software to automate a mundane task). Embedded software development, that is, the development of embedded software, such as used for controlling consumer products, requires the development process to be integrated with the development of the controlled physical product. System software underlies applications and the programming process itself, and is often developed separately.
The need for better quality control of the software development process has given rise to the discipline of software engineering, which aims to apply the systematic approach exemplified in the engineering paradigm to the process of software development.
There are many approaches to software project management, known as software development life cycle models, methodologies, processes, or models. The waterfall model is a traditional version, contrasted with the more recent innovation of agile software development.
Software development3. Version control
In software engineering, version control (also known as revision control, source control, or source code management) is a class of systems responsible for managing changes to computer programs, documents, large web sites, or other collections of information. Version control is a component of software configuration management.
Changes are usually identified by a number or letter code, termed the "revision number", "revision level", or simply "revision". For example, an initial set of files is "revision 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "revision 2", and so on. Each revision is associated with a timestamp and the person making the change. Revisions can be compared, restored, and with some types of files, merged.
The need for a logical way to organize and control revisions has existed for almost as long as writing has existed, but revision control became much more important, and complicated, when the era of computing began. The numbering of book editions and of specification revisions are examples that date back to the print-only era. Today, the most capable (as well as complex) revision control systems are those used in software development, where a team of people may concurrently make changes to the same files.
Version control systems (VCS) are most commonly run as stand-alone applications, but revision control is also embedded in various types of software such as word processors and spreadsheets, collaborative web docs[2] and in various content management systems, e.g., Wikipedia's page history. Revision control allows for the ability to revert a document to a previous revision, which is critical for allowing editors to track each other's edits, correct mistakes, and defend against vandalism and spamming in wikis.Version control4. Git
Git (/ɡɪt/) is software for tracking changes in any set of files, usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows (thousands of parallel branches running on different systems).
Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for development of the Linux kernel, with other kernel developers contributing to its initial development. Since 2005, Junio Hamano has been the core maintainer. As with most other distributed version control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking abilities, independent of network access or a central server. Git is free and open-source software distributed under GNU General Public License Version 2.
Git5. Distributed version control
In software development, distributed version control (also known as distributed revision control) is a form of version control in which the complete codebase, including its full history, is mirrored on every developer's computer. Compared to centralized version control, this enables automatic management branching and merging, speeds up most operations (except pushing and pulling), improves the ability to work offline, and does not rely on a single location for backups. Git, the world's most popular version control system, is a distributed version control system.
In 2010, software development author Joel Spolsky described distributed version control systems as "possibly the biggest advance in software development technology in the past ten years".
Distributed version control6. Access control
In the fields of physical security and information security, access control (AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource while access management describes the process. The act of accessing may mean consuming, entering, or using. Permission to access a resource is called authorization.
Locks and login credentials are two analogous mechanisms of access control.
Access control7. Bug tracking system
A bug tracking system or defect tracking system is a software application that keeps track of reported software bugs in software development projects. It may be regarded as a type of issue tracking system.
Many bug tracking systems, such as those used by most open-source software projects, allow end-users to enter bug reports directly. Other systems are used only internally in a company or organization doing software development. Typically bug tracking systems are integrated with other project management software.
A bug tracking system is usually a necessary component of a professional software development infrastructure, and consistent use of a bug or issue tracking system is considered one of the "hallmarks of a good software team".
Bug tracking system8. Software feature
In software, a feature has several definitions. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers defines the term feature in IEEE 829 as "A distinguishing characteristic of a software item (e.g., performance, portability, or functionality)."
Software feature9. Task management
Task management is the process of managing a task through its life cycle. It involves planning, testing, tracking, and reporting. Task management can help either individual achieve goals, or groups of individuals collaborate and share knowledge for the accomplishment of collective goals. Tasks are also differentiated by complexity, from low to high.
Effective task management requires managing all aspects of a task, including its status, priority, time, human and financial resources assignments, recurrence, dependency, notifications and so on. These can be lumped together broadly into the basic activities of task management.
Managing multiple individuals or team tasks may be assisted by specialized software, for example workflow or project management software.
Task management may form part of project management and process management and can serve as the foundation for efficient workflow in an organization. Project managers adhering to task-oriented management have a detailed and up-to-date project schedule, and are usually good at directing team members and moving the project forward.
Task management10. Continuous integration
In software engineering, continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developers' working copies to a shared mainline several times a day. Grady Booch first proposed the term CI in his 1991 method, although he did not advocate integrating several times a day. Extreme programming (XP) adopted the concept of CI and did advocate integrating more than once per day – perhaps as many as tens of times per day.
Continuous integration11. Wiki
A wiki (/ˈwɪki/ WIK-ee) is a hypertext publication collaboratively edited and managed by its own audience directly using a web browser. A typical wiki contains multiple pages for the subjects or scope of the project and could be either open to the public or limited to use within an organization for maintaining its internal knowledge base.
Wikis are enabled by wiki software, otherwise known as wiki engines. A wiki engine, being a form of a content management system, differs from other web-based systems such as blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little inherent structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users. Wiki engines usually allow content to be written using a simplified markup language and sometimes edited with the help of a rich-text editor. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding, or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may be imposed to organize content.
The online encyclopedia project, Wikipedia, is the most popular wiki-based website, and is one of the most widely viewed sites in the world, having been ranked in the top twenty since 2007. Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, with each one pertaining to a specific language. In addition to Wikipedia, there are hundreds of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites, and intranets. The English-language Wikipedia has the largest collection of articles: as of February 2020, it has over 6 million articles. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described wiki as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" is a Hawaiian word meaning "quick."
Wiki12. Open source
Open source is source code that is made freely available for possible modification and redistribution. Products include permission to use the source code, design documents, or content of the product. It most commonly refers to the open-source model, in which open-source software or other products are released under an open-source license as part of the open-source-software movement. Use of the term originated with software, but has expanded beyond the software sector to cover other open content and forms of open collaboration.
Open source13. Repository (version control)
In revision control systems, a repository is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files or directory structure. Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed like (Git or Mercurial) or centralized like (Subversion, CVS, or Perforce), the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single server. Some of the metadata that a repository contains includes, among other things:
13.1. A historical record of changes in the repository.
13.2. A set of commit objects.
13.3. A set of references to commit objects, called heads.
Repository (version control)14. GitHub Actions
Automate your workflow from idea to production.
GitHub Actions makes it easy to automate all your software workflows, now with world-class CI/CD. Build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. Make code reviews, branch management, and issue triaging work the way you want.
Ref 15.1: GitHub Actions
Automate, customize, and execute your software development workflows right in your repository with GitHub Actions. You can discover, create, and share actions to perform any job you'd like, including CI/CD, and combine actions in a completely customized workflow.
Ref 15.2: GitHub Actions - DocsRef 15.3: YouTube15. Source code
In computing, source code is any collection of code, with or without comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as plain text. The source code of a program is specially designed to facilitate the work of computer programmers, who specify the actions to be performed by a computer mostly by writing source code. The source code is often transformed by an assembler or compiler into binary machine code that can be executed by the computer. The machine code might then be stored for execution at a later time. Alternatively, source code may be interpreted and thus immediately executed.
Most application software is distributed in a form that includes only executable files. If the source code were included it would be useful to a user, programmer or a system administrator, any of whom might wish to study or modify the program.

We were looking for a 1997 movie "Good Will Hunting" in ".mp4" format because my Sony Bravia Smart TV does not accept some other video file formats such ".webm" (See more about "webm" in End Note) and see how we solved this problem:
Note: Third link in top 10 results in Google search solved our requirement.
I1 - Good Will Hunting - Google Search
I2 - Magnet Link Site (The Second Link in Google Search Results) but it did not work. Downloaded some garbage video file that did not run in VLC media player.
