Girl power puts Gujarati lexicon at your fingertips
by Ashish Vashi | TNN
Ahmedabad: If the online Gujarati lexicon has proved to be a boon for translators or writers, a bunch of five 20-something girls ought to take the credit. Their love for their mother tongue is phenomenal and so is their passion for language. Hence, with the help of technology they have made words available at fingertips for Gujaratis. Sumaiya Vohra, Padma Javad, Maitri Shah, Shruti Amin and Deval Vyas run an IT firm which handles jobs of researching and compiling Gujarati words. After digitizing ‘Bhagwadgomandal’—a major dictionary of Gujarati—their recent achievement was to put ‘lokkosh’, a Gujarati lexicon, online. It has been accessible to netizens from Tuesday.
“Before this company, we were working at different places. We share the same wavelength and passion for Gujarati language. At present, there are various projects in our kitty, including a major one for creating a good spell-check software for Gujarati language,” says Deval Vyas, who handles business development.“In Gujarat there is a lot of work to be done. If we failed to make Gujarati language online or in digital medium, it would have been a disaster. The diaspora needs it and there is immense business opportunity in this field,” added Vyas. This website translates words from Gujarati to English through the thesaurus facility. “The commitment of these girls towards Gujarati language is tremendous, so our firm has a full confidence in this team,” said Ashok Kaneria of Gujarati Lexicon, an NRI-supported foundation for supporting and developing Gujarati language on the web.

Drupal: Internal Server Error

While restoring the Drupal Project, Index page was displayed properly. Issue I had encountered was "Internal Server error" on clicking any link given on index page.

That was issue because Clean URL was enabled and .htaccess missing the argument.

To resolve the issue. Just add argument in the .htaccess file containing your rewrite rules, after RewriteEngine on, add RewriteBase /.

Example:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /


This will resolve the issue if clean URL is enabled.

Are parents really responsible for their children's bad habits?

Yesterday, when I was going home from office, I was at Rickshaw Stand waiting for Rickshaw and there were lorry peoples,suddenly I noticed one incident, where a couple with their little boy,might be 6th or 7th year old came to Rickshaw Stand. There was water lorry also, who was selling water pouch. The little boy went to the water lorry, the lorry man was busy in arranging other bags of water pouch, little boy took the water pouch and came to his parents. His Parents were seeing the pouch in the boy's hand and ask from where have you taken, he just pointed his hand to lorry. In spite of going back to lorry man and giving back the pouch or making payment, he just stood there and put the pouch into his bag.

He had not even ask his son, why did he take the pouch? or taught him that, he should not do that.
This is very bad, Parents are hiding their children's mistakes. These small and silly mistakes can create big troubles in life.
