Lalbagh Garden-Legacy of the Garden City

I was surprised to see that people have very wrong assumption about one of the best legacy of Bangalore. When Bangalore is left with very few Greenery and every day we are feeling more and more scorching heat, I am here to introduce "Lalbagh Garden-Legacy of the Garden City"!

Atleast go through the photos(open the link in IE) and you will definitely be amused:

Lal Bagh Botanical Garden is a well known botanical garden in Bangalore, India The garden was commissioned by the ruler of Mysore, Hyder Ali. It has a famous glass house which hosts yearly flower show. It also has an aquarium and a lake, and one of the tourist attractions in Bangalore.

Hyder Ali commissioned the building of this garden in 1760 but his son, Tipu Sultan, completed it. Lal Bagh is a 240 acre (971,000 sq.m. - almost 1 km².) garden and is located on the southern part of Bangalore. It holds a number of flower shows, especially on the Republic Day (26th January). The garden has over 1,000 species of flora. The Glass House, modeled on London's Crystal Palace (now re-modelled with a different layout), is the center of attraction. Hyder Ali laid out these famous botanical gardens and his son added horticultural wealth to them by importing trees and plants from several countries. The Lal Bagh Gardens were commissioned by the 18th century and over the years it acquired India's first lawn-clock and the subcontinent's largest collection of rare plants. The garden also has trees that are over 100 years old.

The garden surrounds one of the towers erected by the founder of Bangalore, Kempe Gowda. Hyder Ali decided to create this garden on the lines of the Mughal Gardens that were gaining popularity during his time. The park has some rare species of plants brought from Persia, Afghanistan and France. With an intricate watering system for irrigation, this garden is aesthetically designed, with lawns, flowerbeds, lotus pools and fountains. Most of the centuries old trees are labeled for easy identification. The Lal Bagh Rock, one of the oldest rock formations on earth, dating back to 3000 million years, is another attraction that brings the crowds.

Tagore on Today's Google Logo but Did We Remember Our Guruji?

Rabindranath Tagore(7 May 1861 – 7 August 1941): From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

He was a poet, visual artist, playwright, novelist, educationist, social reformer, nationalist, business-manager and composer whose works reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He became Asia's first Nobel laureate[1] when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. A Pirali Brahmin[2][3][4] from Calcutta, Bengal, Tagore first wrote poems at the age of eight. At the age of sixteen, he published his first substantial poetry under the pseudonym Bhanushingho ("Sun Lion") and wrote his first short stories and dramas in 1877. In later life Tagore protested strongly against the British Raj and gave his support to the Indian Independence Movement. Tagore's life work endures, in the form of his poetry and the institution he founded, Visva-Bharati University. Tagore wrote novels, short stories, songs, dance-dramas, and essays on political and personal topics. Gitanjali (Song Offerings), Gora (Fair-Faced), and Ghare-Baire (The Home and the World) are among his best-known works. His verse, short stories, and novels, which often exhibited rhythmic lyricism, colloquial language, meditative naturalism, and philosophical contemplation, received worldwide acclaim. Tagore was also a cultural reformer and polymath who modernised Bengali art by rejecting strictures binding it to classical Indian forms. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively.

The Poet's Letter to Lord Chelmsford, the Viceroy , repudiating his Knighthood in protest for Jalianwallahbag mass killing. The letter was published in The Statesman, June 3, 1919:

"Your Excellency,The enormity of the measures taken by the Government in the Punjab for quelling some local disturbances has, with a rude shock, revealed to our minds the helplessness of our position as British subjects in India....This callousness has been praised by most of the Anglo-Indian papers, which have in some cases gone to the brutal length of making fun of our sufferings, without receiving the least check from the same authority, relentlessly careful in something every cry of pain of judgment from the organs representing the sufferers. The time has come when badges of honour make our shame glaring in the incongruous context of humiliation, and I for my part, wish to stand, shorn, of all special distinctions, by the side of those of my countrymen who, for their so called insignificance, are liable to suffer degradation not fit for human beings. ..."

Mind Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action

---

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

If dreams were made out of stone, it would be Hampi

SMS Solutions for Third Party Applications

Here we will talk about SMS solution providers or those applications which use SMS in their application. There are mainly 2 ways third party application can use SMS services:

A) Very Preemptive/simple:

Here application connects to the third party aggregator or SMS Gateway(s) and send/receive message. In general this flow can have flowing 2 varieties:

i) Only for Sending Messages:

Third party application sends the message as bulk to SMS Gateway or SMS Aggregator via HTTP/SMPP/CIMD. SMS Gateway/Aggregator will send the message to operator SMSC(s) via SMPP/CIMD/HTTP.SMSC then sends the message to the intended Subscriber.

ii) Both Sending and Receiving Messages:

Third party application sends the message as bulk to SMS Gateway or SMS Aggregator via HTTP/SMPP/CIMD. SMS Gateway/Aggregator will send the message to operator SMSC(s) via SMPP/CIMD/HTTP.SMSC then sends the message to the intended Subscriber.

Now, if the Subscriber wants/needs to reply back to the application with response (say, for Purchasing content/subscribing for Jokes etc.) s/he sends it and it reaches to the Operator SMSC and SMSC then finds the SMS Gateway/Aggregator to deliver the SMS and SMS Gateway then sends the Reply SMS back to the Application.

In this model SMS Gateway/Aggregator can only be able to get response back from the subscriber if it has connectivity with the SMSC of the Subscriber Operator. I mean any SMPP/CIMD/HTTP connectivity.

Note: So, this method is mainly used for sending bulk messages, instead of any Interactive Applications. And if you want to develop any application with only SMS Push, this is the simplest and cost effective method.

B) ESME way:

Here, instead of connecting to the SMS Gateway/Aggregator your SMS application can directly connect to the operator SMSC. So, you need to connect to SMSC to send message and this connection will be on a protocol called SMPP/CIMD/HTTP. You will become an EMSE (External Short Message Entity) for the SMSC. Operator will provision your application as an ESME on its SMSC with System ID/Password and Shortcode.

You need to first connect to SMSC over SMPP (TCP/IP) using an allocated System Id and Password. Then your application can send message(s) to the subscriber via SMSC. Subscriber in terns can send the reply back to your application or can request for Subscription/Content etc. by sending specific Keyword to your Shortcode. This will reach to the SMSC from Subscriber handset and SMSC will deliver the message to your application.

Note: Here, though push SMS can work if the Subscribers do not belong to the same operator to which SMSC your application is connected. But, for Subscriber to send message back to your application, s/he should belong to the same operator.
