Kalyan's Biryani .... new flavour introduced in HYD..

We celebrated this Sunday in a special way .. Of course this is not the celebration, its more like spent the day with non-routine things... Actually before last night I unexpectedly went to Kalyan's room and slept thr. Yesterday morning i am in hurry to go to my room, at the same time kalyan asked me 'Why don't we invite our batch to room for a lunch??' Wow .... good idea, I accepted kalyan's wish ...
I went to my room quickly(5km far from kalyan's room) on balu's bike and finished some personal work and returned to kalyan's room with venki @ 12.30 noon.Mean time kalyan gathered some tips regarding Veg-biryani contents and making process. balu and shiva are already in kalyan's room, so we invited sreekanth to join. Kalyan prepared lunch with veg-biryani, butter chicken, rytha and veg-starters(Vegetable Spring Rolls). I will update photos soon ..
At last we had a good tasty meal in kalyan's room. kalyan did a fantastic job ... this is first time for kalyan preparing biryani, we just helped a little bit, All the credit goes to KALYAN only....... Thanks buddy...

If you install tomcat6.x (Download)version properly then you may find 'manager' dir in tomcatserver/webapps. You can try to connect manager web application using following url in any standard browser . http://{Ip}:{port}/manager/list. Here Ip is Machine IP of tomcat server running and port is In which port tomcat running by default it is 8080. By hitting this url you will get current running applications.
After hitting this url in browser it will prompt for user name and pwd. Actual discussion starts here. If you want to use tomcat manager web application there are some pre-requisites.

2. This user account should be under manager role.
