What is your Address ?



I was reading something about the pointers and suddenly the mobile vibrated indicating the receipt of a message :
Friend – where are you macha ?
Me – I am at home maga.
Friend – Which home ? Where ?
….
I continued reading. But the daemon processes in my mind were still clinging onto that conversation and I hardly was able to recognize that both the conversation and Pointers stuff I had been reading for a while had turned cocktail !

Here is how it goes:

          Address in it’s most general meaning is a collection of information used to uniquely describe the location of an entity. Pointers are those variables which hold the address of another variable.

          Where am I ? Is this the place where I belong ? If this (Earth i.e. mortal world ) is not my place , then what is my place?
Then my eyes read the following lines –“ Dangling pointers arise when an object is deleted or deallocated, without modifying the value of the pointer, so that the pointer still points to the memory location of the deallocated memory”

          Kabir says 'Kasturi kundal basey, mrig dhoondhe van mahi' ( The kasturi  (a fragnance ) is in naval of a particular specie of deer, but the deer having its fragrance runs in search of that in whole of forest) . 
         It is said that a part (though a small one) of the supreme power (God) resides within us and we are searching him everywhere. 
        Due to all the sins committed by us we have detached from our original place and hence have become dangling pointers. How to solve this? 

I still haven’t figured out a solution yet and may never find one. Nevertheless one question will always haunt me "What is your Address?"

banner4

        Well Here it Comes! The MDS (Mobile Developer Summit) 2012. I am eagerly waiting for it to start off in its Style! Personally speaking, the previous MDS had been an experience of its own kind. I am not sure if some of you find it exaggerating but perhaps as it was my first experience, it might have made me say so.

For all the mobile devs out there, it’s one of its kind of opportunity to learn and know what’s happening in the mobile world. One would certainly ask – “We have hundreds of forums for each of the platforms then why pay and attend?”  Seems to be a valid question. But all I can say is they are gonna miss out on a lot of things.So better be there if one is so interested.

Welcome to mobile world with no limit,
The 2012 Mobile Developer Summit, 
Hoping to be more adventurous,
And time and again salubrious.

Come to taste the Ice-cream sandwich and Jellybean,
And some delicious Berries and Apple in between,
Over a million great projects
For over a million great Tablets.

There is Android and Microsoft,
Let’s see what who has got?
There’s also Samsung and Apple,
Hard to judge, who’s more able?

Want the interactivity more Hi-fi?
Oh here comes the HTML 5,
With number of tools, cross-platform,
It’s gonna take everyone by storm.
