The one where Raj went for Cycling (First time Experience - 50km circuit)


The Past:
I met a friend Srini in violin class and got to know that he goes for cycling with a bunch of explorers once in a month. I was excited and told him I had a cycle but haven't done cycling and would love to try. So he told me he will inform when they go for a ride.

The Present: 
Srini texts me that they were planning a morning ride of approx 50-60km circuit. Even though I was excited, I was a bit nervous if I could push myself for that far. I did think of it for a while and I was like "If not now, then when??? ". I said yes.

It was a Sunday morning that we started off. The weather in Bangalore was a big threat as it was raining pretty consistently for the past fortnight. We trusted few weather reports which stated that there is not going to be any rain in the morning and there might be slight rain in the afternoon. Srini started from HSR, two of friends joined in Bellandur, I joined in Kadubeesanahalli junction and two more joined in ISRO junction.

The ride was not tiring as we took good rest on the way with enough hydration and food. We had some refreshments in Devanahalli. Then started again and from there and had breakfast at A2B in Battarahalli and returned home at 11.15.




Here is a short video of the trip by Srini: Ride to Devanahalli - 60 Circuit

Here are the photos: Trip Photos

Thanks to Srini for these amazing photos and videos compilation. He did take risk and took all the photos while riding a bicycle and ensured that it will be a good ride to cherish.

The Future:
Hope to do a lot more riding with these folks, explore new places and push my limits to cover more distance.

Println ( " mainstart: " , Ball) table <- Ball time. Sleep ( 1 * time. Second ) endres := <- table fmt. Println ( " mainend: " , endres) } func player ( table chan int , playernumber int ){ for { ball := <- table fmt. Println (playernumber, " : " ,ball) ball++ time. Sleep ( 100 * time. Millisecond ) table <- ball } } /* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation: Please try to visualize on your own before reading the explanation.

Cycling to Dommasandra - 25km circuit

The following blog post not only inspired me to go for more cycling trips and write regularly because of some valuable, loving comments from friends, it also motivated many of my friends to try it out. https://rkinsideout.blogspot.in/2017/10/the-one-where-raj-went-for-cyclingfirst.html I and my close friend Padma whom I have known from my school days decided to go for cycling. The following week was a Diwali week and most of our friends' had already started leaving to hometowns. We decided to do it anyway. I chose a circuit behind Kadubeesanahalli, Sarjapur as I knew it would be pleasant and also have seen people cycling in these places. The Circuit It was a pleasant ride as it was cloudy was most of the time. From Panathur to Sarjapur road, there were more vehicles on the road, but after Carmelaram, there were fewer people on the road. The road condition also was good till Dommasandra with few patches here and there. Since the road was good, the bigger vehicles were spe...

Implementing a file monitoring script using python.

The idea is to implement a method where a user will be able to modify an xml file and the modifications will trigger a certain action in the script. This has to be implemented in python. WatchDogs is a python library that helps in file system monitoring. API reference : https://pythonhosted.org/watchdog/quickstart.html#quickstart Useful link :  http://brunorocha.org/python/watching-a-directory-for-file-changes-with-python.html The example scripts provided in the above links give a good headstart to play around with the file system and figure what is the exact use case that you want to achieve. Current use case:  The python script that I run is bundled as a container. There are mounted volumes in the container. So using an external script I am planning to modify the xml file and since the same file is modified inside the container, the python thread that is listening to the file modification event will trigger an action like sending a mail, make an entry to ...
