This paper covers following steps:

Pre-Instalation Tasks

1. Create oracle User Account

Login as root and create te user oracle which belongs to dba group.
su -
# groupadd dba
# useradd -g dba oracle

2. Setting System parameters
Edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and add following lines:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096

As root user create new file "oracle" (init script for startup and shutdown the database) in /etc/init.d/ directory with following content:
#!/bin/bash
#
# oracle Init file for starting and stopping
# Oracle Database. Script is valid for 10g and 11g versions.
#
# chkconfig: 35 80 30
# description: Oracle Database startup script

# Source function library.

. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

ORACLE_OWNER="oracle"
ORACLE_HOME="/opt/oracle/102"

case "$1" in
start)
echo -n $"Starting Oracle DB:"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "OK"
;;
stop)
echo -n $"Stopping Oracle DB:"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME"
echo "OK"
;;
*)
echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
esac

Execute (as root) following commands (First script change the permissions, second script is configuring execution for specific runlevels):
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/oracle
chkconfig --add oracle --level 0356

2. (Optional) Auto Startup and Shutdown of Enterprise Manager Database Control

As root user create new file "oraemctl" (init script for startup and shutdown EM DB Console) in /etc/init.d/ directory with following content:

Desi Mms Kand Wap In Work

Indian food is deeply personal. In Kolkata, a Bengali family argues over whether macher jhol (fish curry) should have potatoes. In Ahmedabad, a Jain couple adapts a traditional undhiyu recipe without root vegetables. Meanwhile, a first-generation Indian-American in Chicago recreates her mother’s poha using quinoa. These stories explore how recipes preserve homes, cross borders, and change with time—without losing their soul.


Yoga and Ayurveda are no longer just ancient sciences—they’re lifestyle brands. But beyond the Instagram reels of sunrise poses in Rishikesh, there’s a quieter story. Meet Vikram, a former corporate executive who runs a small ashtanga studio in a Jaipur lane. His students include a 70-year-old ex-army officer, a teenage gamer with back pain, and a newly divorced woman seeking calm. This piece asks: Is modern wellness reclaiming or diluting tradition?


What connects the Mumbai chai wallah, the Delhi joint family, and the Jaipur wedding? Resilience in chaos.

Indian lifestyle stories are rarely about perfection. They are about making do. It is about eating khichdi (comfort porridge) when you are sick. It is about tying a bandhini dupatta differently to hide a stain. It is about inviting the neighbor you hate to the festival because “log kya kahenge?” (what will people say?).

In India, life is not a solo journey. It is a crowded, noisy, beautiful train ride. And everyone—the chai wallah, the grandmother, the tired mother—has a window seat.


Note for editors: This piece can be adapted for different angles—travel (specific regions), food (recipes for each story), or social commentary (the decline of joint families). Visuals should include close-ups of hands (pouring chai, applying henna, holding a thali) and wide shots of chaotic, colorful crowds.

It moves beyond clichés (poverty, spirituality, exotic) to show India as a living, breathing, contradictory, and creative space—where a grandmother’s recipe is as cool as a startup idea, and where culture is not a museum piece but a daily performance.

The aroma of tempering mustard seeds and curry leaves drifted from Amma’s kitchen, signaling the start of another Sunday in the Iyer household. In their small suburban home, the morning wasn’t just a time of day; it was a ritual.

Arjun sat at the wooden dining table, his laptop pushed aside for a steel tumbler of steaming filter coffee. "Amma, do we really need to go to the saree shop today?" he groaned. "The wedding isn't for another month." Indian food is deeply personal

His mother appeared at the doorway, wiping her hands on her apron. "It’s not just a wedding, Arjun. It’s your cousin’s Muhurtham. And a saree isn’t just cloth. You have to feel the silk, see the weave of the zari. You can’t get that from a screen."

This was the rhythm of their life—a constant dance between the digital world Arjun lived in as a software engineer and the ancient traditions his parents carried like precious heirlooms.

Later that afternoon, they stepped into the bustling bazaar. The air was a thick tapestry of jasmine garlands, roasting peanuts, and the rhythmic honking of rickshaws. Inside the textile showroom, the chaos vanished. They were greeted with a polite "Namaste" and invited to sit on cushioned benches.

As the salesman unfurled yards of Kanjeevaram silk, the colors seemed to tell stories of their own: temple borders representing protection, parrot motifs for fertility, and deep maroons for celebration. Arjun watched his mother’s eyes light up as she touched the fabric. She wasn't just shopping; she was connecting to a lineage of craftsmanship that spanned centuries.

On the way home, they stopped at a roadside stall for pani puri. Standing under a colorful umbrella, they joined a crowd of strangers—all huddled together, waiting for the next spicy, water-filled shell. In that moment, the barriers of class and age disappeared. There was only the shared joy of a perfect, crunchy bite.

"You see," his father said, handing Arjun a tissue, "in India, we live out in the open. Our culture isn't in museums; it’s in the way we eat, the way we argue with the vegetable vendor, and the way we make room for one more person on a crowded bus."

That evening, as Arjun helped his mother light the diya at the entrance of their home, he realized that his "modern" life wasn't separate from these traditions. They were the foundation. The gold thread in the silk might be old, but it was what gave the whole fabric its strength and shine.

Here’s a feature story concept on “Indian Lifestyle and Culture Stories” — highlighting the vibrant, diverse, and evolving essence of modern India while staying rooted in tradition.


Walk into the Aggarwal household in West Delhi, and you will initially think a riot is underway. Three generations under one roof. Grandmother (Dadi) is yelling at the cook for putting too much salt in the dal. The father is negotiating a business deal on speakerphone while trying to find his left shoe. Two cousins are fighting over a single PlayStation controller.

And yet, at 8:00 p.m., a miracle occurs. Everyone—the teenager with dyed hair, the uncle who just lost his job, the mother exhausted from her shift—sits on the floor in a rough circle. Dinner is served on stainless steel thalis. No phones. No arguments.

This is the quiet story of the Indian joint family. It is loud, cramped, and utterly exhausting. But when the cousin fails her board exams, there are six people to tell her it doesn't matter. When the grandfather is sick, someone is always awake to bring him water at 2 a.m.

The modern twist: The joint family is fragmenting into nuclear units in cities. But on Sundays, the "digital joint family" emerges—video calls with parents in Jaipur, WhatsApp forwards of motivational quotes, and the eternal question: “Beta, khana khaya?” (Son, have you eaten?)
