@War - quite the read for the uninitiated :)




This is a must read for everyone who uses the internet or any other communications medium for their day to day life...from a wannabe communications analyst perspective...its a 101 for electronics warfare newbies...like I've said a million times before...if you can't trust the communications gear...you can't go to war...! But after reading this one...i'm going to modify that line to if you cant trust your communications gear...ha ha...you're not sleeping are ya...! everyone is profiled at some point or the other...the fun part starts when the profile is used against you by state actors...or even worse non-state actors apparently working for the state. Trust a tortured and mutilated soul when he says that these actors will not listen...mostly because they have their heads so far up the flag pole they can't see light of day...by the time they realize what they've done they are usually looking at a bill the size of a hurricane or two...as the idiots across the seven seas once said "we endeavor that truth prevails"...not realizing that they lost that so much "endeavoring" in their incompetence that the bird, the bush and hand that cradled it all were all lost in a crisp cinder...! Not being able to believe parts of your phone conversation or online chat or even email...its all possible...heck they even spoof video at times...and they're not very good at it...! I'm sure there are emails i have not written, phone conversations i've never had and worst of all pissed people i've never even met...! anyways...read the book...read the book...read the book...! non-repudiation, check-sums and encryption has a new meaning after this book...or as the guys recently said..."it's not "Turin"...it's "Turing" you moron"...ha...life...!

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino Land] - II

Image
Kaziranga National Park has four gates for entry into the buffer zones...the drive lasts about two hours per gate...and if you are lucky you will get a guide (gypsy driver) who is full of knowledge and will explain all the names of the birds and animals during the drive. The East gate is a bird watchers paradise...actually all gates are equally interesting...this time of the year makes it a perfect destination to visit as the river levels are low and the animals are in their natural habitat with full abundance. The brave rangers of Kaziranga that look after the wildlife round the clock...it is sad that there are still poachers in this beautiful animal paradise...needless to say that the rangers keep them at bay. Some general wildlife pictures i tried to capture with my super old Canon EOS550D with a Tamron 18-400mm lens...i would have loved to upgrade to a Canon EOS R7 with a Canon 200-800mm lens...however that combination is a bit heavy on the hands and my fingers were literally cramp...

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino land]

Image
I'm NOT  a professional photographer...however during my recent  visit to Kaziranga National Park as part of my annual holiday i captured the below images. These two panoramas are typical of the landscape of Kaziranga...it is spread over 430 Sq. Km....vast expanses  of fertile land covered with silt from the river Brahmaputra...the river floods every year...all the animals are affected annually. This is a typical Bamboo built structure...in this case it is a restaurant...had some local chicken here...! A visit to the Orchid Park...a very nice collection of orchids from the entire North-East India...they have kept them alive and cultivated them through a lot of sheer effort...hats off to the local Karbi folks for thinking of such an idea and developing it. There was a traditional dance program at the arena next to the orchid park...sneaked in some photos :) These are traditional dances from Assam and North-East India...typically done during harvest time etc. The Tea Factor...

A taste of Freedom :)

  It has been ages since i took the opportunity to swing the flag around...this year just happened to be the one...many people post independence feel patriotic about this day...some feel like they can take their freedom for granted...me on the other hand...i don't really go all out in the colors of the flag...but I'm quite a bit nationalistic...quite a bit conservative...and quite a bit of a kid singing those happy songs in my mind...leading the  mind readers to their own "graves" in my own sweet way...best part is they don't even mind :) maybe they don't understand...the matrix is never meant to have all the keys to the universe in one place...they are distributed all over the place...and well hidden...some in plain sight...life has been one roller coaster ride...from those streets where they sold our lives for a dollar...to these streets where the grid is too kind and provides protection and affection...we are wary and we are aware...for it is not everyday t...
