Have some Patience - Windows Phone WhatsApp bug Solution

WhatsApp crashes while loading the previous messages in the chat history. This happens randomly for any chat history. This bug has been reported by almost everyone who has Windows Phone 8 or Lumia devices. WhatsApp has not yet fixed this bug. Hopefully it will look into this and come up with an update with the fix.

I have Nokia Lumia 620 with Amber update and latest WhatsApp.

Not many would know that there is a small workaround to this problem. This workaround works with patience. :)

All you need to do is swipe down to load the chat history, or the old messages, only  ONCE. And wait for the old messages to load (You will know that the old messages has loaded, once the loading dots of windows phone stops). After the messages get loaded, swipe down once again and you will be able to read the old messages. This way the WhatsApp wont crash.

That is why elders always say "Have some Patience".

If this trick worked for you, please comment with the phone model, so that we know if it really works for others too.

Online Compiler

Once I was googling around for some logic in the internet. Finally I got the logic and at the same time there was code for it. I thought there is some mistake in the code. There was no compiler in the machine I was working. So I searched for an online compiler. I could not find one, but recently I found the link in one of the blogs I was following. I thought of sharing this valuable website with you as you also may come across such situations. The credit goes to the post of "5 cool websites" from beingPC.com

The website is www.ideone.com In this website you need to compose or copy-paste the code to compile. It is an online compiler and debugging tool which allows to compile more than 40 programming languages. You can make your code public for others to use of private for your own use. You can be able to give input from an input box provided. Every code will be given an unique link so that you can make use of it again.

There are two important links, one is samples and the other is recent pastes where you can get to know about the different coding sytanx of different languages.

Because of this website I got to know many types of programming languages, especially the whitespace and brain*** programming language. Pretty interesting ones. Do have a check on it.

Limitations of this compiler:

·         Compilation time: 10 seconds,

·         Execution time: 5 seconds,

·         Memory usage: 256 MB.

One more online compiler I came across is www.codepad.com not as good as ideone.com

The word Allah

Why Muslims prefer to use the word Allah instead of the English word God or for that matter any other words used in any other language?

Allah is an Arabic word. It is derived from the word ilah or Elah. Which means "A thing (can be anything or anyone) or deity worthy of worship". In English it can be the word god. The plural of ilah is Aliyah. The feminine is ilahah.

In English there is a definite article called "The", in Arabic also there is a definite article called "Al". If you prefix a noun with Al it becomes definite. For example "Kitab" (Book) is a noun in Arabic. And if you prefix it with "Al" it becomes "Al-Kitab" which means "The book". It actually means a particular book.

Same way if you prefix Al to the word "ilah" of Arabic it becomes "Al-ilah". The letters of Arabic Alif, Laam, Hamza, Laam, Alif and Hai which make "Al-ilah". When the letter Hamza comes after the letter Laam the voice of Hamza is dropped. Resulting in "Al-lah". Then the two Laams geminate, making it sound "Allah".

So the word Allah in Arabic is nothing but, "The God". And the WORD Allah has no gender. There is no feminine word for Allah. There is no plural for the WORD Allah. As mentioned earlier, the word ilah is masculine and has feminine as well as plural word. But the word Allah is neither masculine nor feminine and has no plural. There can be neither prefix nor postfix to the word Allah. It is because of the grammar of Arabic.

Like if you add father to the word God, it becomes "God father". But you cannot add "Abi" (father) to the word Allah. It becomes meaningless even if you try to add, the whole grammar is lost.

Allah is a word used to refer God not just by Muslims. Even the Jews and Christian who speak Arabic use this word. Allah was the word used by people even before the Prophet Muhammad came.

So just in case you don’t know, Allah is not a Muslim God. The Muslims who refer Allah is not just the God of them. He is the God of everyone. He is the God of you and me. The One Who created the Heavens and the Earth.

Better teach Humanity than going Green

Today as I was leaving from home to office in my Blue Pulsar bike. As usual I was cruising down the road. My heart always cries when I cross this main road where the construction of Bangalore Metro Rail is going on at the expense of thousands of green trees. After crossing this road there is one more road to cross which isn’t the main road but is normally busy because of the construction of the Metro Rail. I always slow down at this point and then proceed.

Today as I was slowing down I saw few people gathering on the other side of the road. I stopped for a while and wondered why the crowd? Then I saw a yellow Karizma bike lying on the road and just next to it as if touching the bike was the New Activa. I realized there was some sort of accident. Then I saw a person lifting a lady who was in her 20s, who was wearing a dark pink T-Shirt and a blue Jeans. The scene was as if she was dead. Her head was down, her hands had no strength. The person who was lifting could not lift her completely. Her legs were touching the ground but were not firm. Suddenly someone told to bring water.

I thought for a while should I go or wait and see what happens. I parked my bike and went there, where this entire scene was going on. At this time water was brought and was given to her. I do not know whether she drank it or not. The guy was still holding her in his both hands. The first thing I did was to check if she was breathing. And ya she was breathing and there was hope. An Auto Rickshaw was called and ready to take her to hospital. The guy was helpless, he could not lift her and nobody was even trying to help him. Then I went and caught the other hand of the girl and her leg and we both tried to lift her and take her in the Auto. Again it was difficult for both of us to put her into the Auto. I told the guy to get inside the Auto (Thinking that he might be related to her), he went inside but left hold of her, now I had to lift her alone into the Auto.
All were giving different instructions, but nobody even bothered to help. At last we could put her into the Auto. I don’t know who the guy was but he went with her to the hospital. The way his expressions were telling I think he was just another passerby. Might be he was having better humanity than me.

Then I made myself relaxed and was about to leave, I saw people gathering there again by the roadside. I was curious to see what the matter is. There I saw 2 elderly couples sitting on the pedestrian. They were having few bruises on their skin. By the discussions I came to know that the young couples hit this elderly couples. The elderly couples were coming from the cross road and these couples were coming from the other road. One Auto Rickshaw stopped making way for the elderly couples to go. The young couples who were speeding in the Karizma bike overtook this Auto from the left side not knowing that the elderly couple is coming on the Activa and hit them. Might be they were in a hurry.

From this incident I was wondering if people really have humanity in them or not. Nobody was ready to even give a hand to help. All were having strong hands and they are making no use of it to help anyone? The whole world is crying about GREEN GREEN. Instead of crying Green Green why can't they teach the whole world about Humanity? If Humanity is there people will be concerned about Green and how to save other humans or animals and how to save this planet! If there is no Humanity there is nothing you can do.

No Humanity? No Green!!!

Vande Matharam and Islam

As usual after lunch I go to my afternoon prayers to a nearby mosque. But yesterday I was bit late in having my lunch and hence was late for the afternoon prayers. I reached the mosque only to see that the gates were locked. I was wondering where to go for the prayers. Then suddenly my mind said me that there is a small hall in the top floor of the nearby Mall named Forum. So I went there and had my prayers.
While I was returning I was gazing into the various show rooms in the Mall. Thought of going into Landmark just to see some books. I straight away went to the "Religion" section and started to flip a book on Islam. Within few seconds a person came near me and started telling-
"You seem to be a religious person and I feel you have some sound knowledge of Islam"
I kept mute. Then he continued asking-
"Is reciting Vande Matharam against the tenets of Islam?"
I again kept mute thinking that I saw this question somewhere. Later I realized it was a poll question asked by the Times of India newspaper. By seeing my question-marked-face he stated to behave as if he did a big mistake by asking me that question. He made a guilty face and was about to leave from that place. I interrupted him by telling-
"I am not a mufti or a person who has a sound knowledge of Islam to give Fatwas. But with the limited knowledge I have about Islam I will try to answer your question with a small Hadeeth of prophet Muhammed"
I asked him- "Do you know what Hadeeth is?" to this he replied in affirmative. So I dint had to explain him what a Hadeeth is? (To know what Hadeeth is you can check this link)
So I continued with the Hadeeth saying-
"Once the companions of Prophet Muhammed asked Prophet Muhammed that 'suppose if we happen to pass by some unknown place and suppose if the people of that place make us captive and keep their swords on our neck and tell us to say so and so is our Lord which is other than Allah what should we do?' to this Prophet replied 'to save your life you can say whatever they ask you to say'. For this again the companions asked Prophet 'if they ask us to bow in front of their deity?' to this the Prophet replied 'No, one cannot bow in front of anything or anyone except Allah - the Almighty'"
This is the end of the Hadeeth. I told him -  "Hope you understood the answer to your question from this Hadeeth?" His face was giving me answers that he was doubtful. So I continued -
"Look, Vande Matharam means to 'Bow to Mother', so if someone threatens a Muslim with life and asks him to say Vande Matharam, he can say so. As I am saying it in front of you, without the intention of doing it. But if one has his free will to say or not to say then he should not say such sentence whose actions are against the tenets of Islam. And if someone says a Muslim to Bow in front of the Mother India he should not do so even if he gets killed."
After listening carefully, he thanked me saying - "Thanks for the wonderful explanation, now I know why actually you people stick to your principals. Thanks once again"
To this I told - "Your welcome brother. This isn’t the end. Since India is a Democratic country, we have our individual rights to say it or not. Nobody can force anyone in this country to SAY a particular sentence. Whether he is a Muslim or a Hindu or a Christian or even if he does not believe in God. And since India is also a Secular country these kinds of sentences cannot be issued as a Law to say in public. And one cannot say that a person is an Indian only if he recites so and so words in front of everyone. So making an issue out of nothing is also not good for anyone. Not even for our Mother India."
For this he smiled and we shook our hands we introduced ourselves and departed.

Blog Action Day: The Causes of Climatic Change and How to Stop it

I got impressed by the topic given by the BAD (Blog Action Day) organizers. I was just going through the blogger buzz yesterday and got this topic which was promoted by blogger. As I am keenly interested in the environment and its affects I was also interested to write a post on this particular topic. Till now I haven’t written any posts related to the environment as a whole but I was always worried about the climatic changes occurring recently.

We all do say that the reason behind all these climatic changes is the Global Warming. And obviously for global warming to happen we Humans are the main reason behind it. There are lots of articles been written on the causes of Global Warming and I do not want to touch all those topics. What I want to put the causes is bit different than those mentioned otherwise. My topic will reflect upon a verse from the Holy Qur’an which has lot many things to do with the climatic changes we see today. Now you may be thinking what the religion has to do with climatic changes? Well this is a big question only if you think religion as a personal belief. But to me religion is not just a personal belief but it is the system of life for every human being. I feel that his internal and external acts, all contribute to the environment where he lives.

Now for that let me start my topic quoting few of the verses from the Holy Qur’an:

[4:62] So how (will it be) when disaster strikes them because of what their hands have put forth and then they come to you swearing by Allah, "We intended nothing but good conduct and accommodation."

[3:165] When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: "From where does this come to us?" Say (to them), "It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds)." And Allah has power over all things.

Even the Quran says that whatever calamities come to us is because of our own hands. And to this all of us agree that the climatic changes have been occurred due to the humans themselves. It is obvious that man cut the trees, released poisonous gases into the environment and so and so. But there are other factors also which are not been noticed by us. They are the evil deeds done by the humans. To name few of the evil deeds, they are, murder, rape, oppression, genocide, homicide, suicide, molestation, adulteration etc etc. you may be wondering how these acts constitutes in climatic change. Well this is obvious from the Qur’anic verses but I want to elaborate with logic and reasoning.

This is my imagination and it may be wrong. But I can challenge that this theory cannot be disproved. It goes this way.

Whenever a girl is raped she will surely shout and scream. She will cry when she faces this kind of torture. What happens when she cries and shouts is that a kind of wave is generated. This can be any kind of wave. It can be a sound wave also. These waves strike certain objects and in turn these objects may generate a different kind of wave which mixes into the environment and causes some disturbance in the environment. These disturbances may lead to climatic changes as well.

This is just a small example I have given. This can be true for any kind of crime oppression and misdeeds. An oppressed one will be grieving and these grievances may generate any kind of wave to disturb the environment which we cannot experience. Even a person himself who has done wrong deeds in solitude may also generate such kind of waves. This is because he himself knows that he has done wrong thing and he thinks about it day and night to generate such kind of waves. If he repents sincerely unto God then this kind of waves may stop from generating.

Think about it. We have to stop these atrocities happing on human kind and stop the climatic changes by doing so. It is not that just the pollution is affecting the environment. Even the action we do also constitute in the climatic changes.

My readers it is time to repent and accept the wrong deeds which we are doing and stop them from happening. Keep your city clean and do not pollute your environment. In this way we not only keep our environment from pollution but also we can keep our society evil free.

Remember, one day we all have to die and are accountable in front of God. So stop the evil deeds and accept that there is no god except The God. Believe in Him and do righteous deeds, stop the oppressed one from getting oppressed, stop the oppressor from oppressing others. Convey the Truth as it is, to others so that even others follow what you are following. And teach others about patience and perseverance. Know that nobody in history has become popular by doing wrong acts.

There awaits great reward for those who do good deeds. And God also promises that there shall be no fear for those who do good deeds.

…for those of them who did good deeds and feared Allah, there is a great reward (3:182)
And give glad tidings to those who believe and do righteous good deeds that for them will be Gardens under which rivers flow... (2:25)
Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve (2:62)
But they who believe and do righteous deeds - those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally. (2:82)
Except those who repent and do righteous deeds, and openly declare (the truth which they concealed). These, I will accept their repentance. And I am the One Who accepts repentance, the Most Merciful. (2:160)
... and do fair deeds; surely Allah loves the fair-doers (2:195)

And many more...

Stupid Queries Simple Answer

If you are a geek, it is normal that people ask you questions in which you are a Master and you feel happy to give them the required answers and help them out. But sometimes these people drag you to such an extent that you get frustrated by such stupid queries and feel like banging your head onto the computer screen or the keyboard. These queries are so simple that a simple googling will fetch you results.
Luckily there is a website for your rescue. It builds a URL which you can share it with the person who asked you the stupid query so that he can find the answers by himself. The website is LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com. Enter a search term relevant to the asked query, click the Google Search button, and a link appears that you can copy, paste and share it to your friend. When they click that link, an animation displays the complicated process of searching Google for information, and then directs the user to the actual search results page from Google.
Example: For search query “What is HTML” http://lmgtfy.com/?q=what+is+html
To make it even simpler the Pidgin instant messenger has got a plugin called STFW. What it does is, it automatically converts the reply to the URL as mentioned above and sends it to the user who asked you the query. Only thing is that you have to prefix the reply with /stfw and put the query and just hit the Enter key.
By God,
Internet has made lots of things so easy;
That man has become more lazy!

Tareeq Ka Jab Bhi Ruq Badla

Tareeq ka jab bhi ruq badla, Badla hai hamee Deewanon ne
Islam ki shamma roushan ki, jal jal ke hamee parwanon ne

Maqtal bhi hamara gehwara Zindaan bhi hamara maskan hai
Hum raahe wafa mein sar rakhdein ye saare jahaan par roushan hai

Hum khel samajh kar ladte hain toofan ki bhayanak moujon se
Kya Ahle haram dab jaaenge un ahle Jafa ki moujon se

Maazi mein jo toofan europe se mandlaata huwa aayaa thaa
Hum hee ne usay lalkaara thaa Hum hee ne usay de maaraa thaa

Hum Amn-o-Amaan ke qoogar hain Insaaf hamari aadat hai
Haq goi hamari fitrat hai sachchai hamara shewa hai

Har gosha chaman ka shahid hai jab jaan si museebat pesh aai

Tips @ Filling Fuel in your Vehicles

FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD.

Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL.

The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation. 

IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP.

Most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

"Caution: There is Another anti-Islamic Site" - by Khalid Baig

"Caution: There is Another anti-Islamic Site"
Why issuing an alert letter is precisely the wrong thing to do
"The most anti-Islamic site will die if it faces a frozen counter. That would happen if you just leave it alone. But if you are out there telling everyone about it and asking them to do the same, you are in effect volunteering as their publicity department."
By Khalid Baig, 7 December 2001

The alert letters keep coming. Beware here is the latest anti-Islamic site. Then a URL so you can verify that it is indeed as described. Then a passionate request to tell all the Muslims in the world about it.

Sincere. Misguided. Counter-productive.

Little do the senders realize that they are actually helping the very sites they are trying to fight.

The failure is in realizing that the Internet is a very different medium and the rules that applied to the previous media do not always apply here. If there is a bad magazine or book out there, you can tell others about it. We can be sure that nobody will rush to the closest bookseller to buy it. The warning may be useful, if there was a chance that some people could have bought the book out of ignorance.

In the click-click world of the Internet, the first thing most people will do is to click on the URL, thereby increasing the hit counts and boasting the morale of the site owners. Second, it will help it with search engine placement, as some of them will use the increased curiosity traffic as a sign of popularity. You just helped create the monster you wanted to fight!

It is common sense. If you don't want people to visit a site, just don't tell them about it.

It is very easy to setup a page on the Internet. It is very difficult to draw traffic to it. The most anti-Islamic site will die if it faces a frozen counter. That would happen if you just leave it alone. But if you are out there telling everyone about it and asking them to do the same, you are in effect volunteering as their publicity department. That is exactly what they need.

If there is a well-established site (like CNN) it makes sense to launch a protest campaign. But for most of the sites the prudent course is just the opposite. Leave it alone. Let it die of neglect. A natural death. The greater the lack of attention, the faster will be the death of this would be monster.

So the next time you receive an alert letter about an anti-Islamic site, just delete it. If you respond to the sender, do not include the original text of his alert email, because even that may help some search engine ranking.

There were dozens of anti-Islamic sites that sprang up recently but died soon after because, luckily, our enthusiasts had not noticed them and had not publicized them through their alert letters. The ones that receive the alert letter mention will, unfortunately, survive and may thrive.

On the Internet, the best use of your energies is to promote the good Islamic sites. Let the good drive out the evil.

Now, may we request that you send this article to all your friends?

The Click-Click World

I got this mail stating that "The following sites are anti-Islamic so dont trust the contents of those sites. And please inform others not to do so and forward this to all". It wasn’t for the first time. I got such mails many times. I replied not to send such mails, but I repeatedly get such forwards. I dont know how to respond to such people.
What happens is, out of curiosity one happens to see such sites and look into the content to judge if it is really an anti-so-snd-so site. They dont know that indirectly they are contributing in spreading these sites (if at all they are anti-so-and-so) and making them popular.
Firstly, these sites get popular by sending to many people or users. Many people get to know about these sites. Secondly they dont know that each Click to that site gets counted and since the hit-count gets increased the site gets popular in the internet world. As the site gets popular by the increased hit-count it gets into the search sites. And if a person who happens to find about a particular thing, for example - about Islam, he may land up getting wrong information.
So it is better these kind of sites (if they are really anti-so-and-so) should be ignored and let them die their natural death.

VERY GOOD COMPARISON

I got this as a forward in a mail. Thought of sharing it with others. Indeed it is a point to ponder...

Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!           Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God But when Muslimah does the same she's oppressed          When a western woman stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected      because of sacrificing herself  But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"!         Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom?   But when Muslim Girl/Lady wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!         When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potential But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is hopeless! WHY       When a Christian or a Jew kills someone religion is not mentioned, but when Muslim is charged with a crime, it is Islam that goes to trial!   When someone sacrfices himself to keep others alive, he is noble and all respect him. But when a Palestinian does that to save his son from being killed, his brother's arm being broken, his mother being raped, his home being destroyed, and his mosque being violated -- He gets the title of a terrorist! Why? Because he is a Muslim!     When there is a trouble we accept any solution? If the solution lies in Islam, we refuse to take a look at it       When someone drives a perfect car in a bad way no one blames the car . But when any Muslim makes a mistake or treats people in a bad manner -   people say "Islam is the reason"!         Without looking to the tradition of Islam, people believe what the newspapers say.
