Icebreaker Louis Saint Laurent in Resolute Bay, Nunavut Territory, Canada.

Worker resting on bales of cotton, Thonakaha, Korhogo, Ivory Coast. Cotton crops occupy approximately 335,000 square klilometers worldwide, and use nearly one quarter of all pesticides sold

Sand dune in the heart of vegetation on Fraser island, Queensland, Australia. Fraser Island, named after Eliza Fraser, who was shipwrecked on the island in 1836, is the world's largest sand island. On top of this rather infertile substratum, a humid tropical forest has developed in the midst of which wide dunes intrude, moving with the wind. Fraser Island has important water resources, including nearly 200 freshwater dune lakes, and has varied fauna such as marsupials, birds, and reptiles. Welcoming 200,000 visitors a year without damaging the local fauna and flora is a real challenge to sustainable development on the island, which was declared a World Heritage site by Unesco in 1992.

The Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix basilica in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast. In 1983, Yamoussoukro replaced Abidjan as the official capital of Ivory Coast. President Félix Houphouët-Boigny, who died in 1993, made his native village into a modern city with a grid of wide avenues - which are almost deserted - and every modern facility: international airport, luxury hotels, golf course, prestigious universities, and so forth. Yamoussoukro also boasts the world's biggest basilica, Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix (Our Lady of Peace), consecrated by Pope John Paul II in 1990. The former president, who donated this building to the Vatican, insisted that he had financed the basilica's cost out of his own personal fortune. This building was seen as a colossal waste by many Ivorians. It was highly controversial in a country that lacks schools and hospitals and has only nine doctors for every 100,000 inhabitants (compared to 413 in Norway)

Flock of sheep, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. After the missionary period, between gold fever and the first drillings for oil, sheep-raising became the chief activity in the north of the main island, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego. The local cabanas (sheep pastures) are huge sheep farms with 3.5 acres of land per head of livestock.

Tree of life", Tsavo national park, Kenya. This acacia is a symbol of life in the vast expanses of thorny savanna, where wild animals come to take advantage of its leaves or its shade. Tsavo National Park in southeastern Kenya, crossed by the Nairobi-Mombasa road and railway axis, is the country's largest protected area (8,200 square miles, or 21,000 square kilometers) and was declared a national park in 1948

Elephants in the Okavango Delta, Botswana. The Okavango Delta is the world's largest inland delta, flooding seasonally, and is populated by five ethnic groups of people, sharing it with hundreds of species of animals.

Iraqi tank graveyard in the desert near Al Jahrah, Kuwait. This graveyard of tanks will bear witness for many years to the damage that war causes both to the environment and to human health. In 1991, during the first Gulf War, a million depleted uranium shells were fired at Iraqi forces, spreading toxic, radioactive dust for miles around. Such dust is known to have lasting effects on the environment and to cause various forms of cancer and other serious illnesses among humans.

Village in the Rheris Valley, Er Rachidia region, High Atlas Mountains, Morocco. Fortified villages are frequently seen along the valley of the Rheris, as they are on most rivers of southern Morocco, inspired by the Berber architecture built to protect against invaders. Today, with the threat of raids now gone, the close clustering of dwellings, small windows, and roofs covering houses and narrow streets serve the purpose of protecting occupants from heat and dust. The flat, connecting roofs also provide a place for drying crops.

The Athabasca Oil Sands, Alberta, Canada. These oil deposits make up the largest reservoir of crude bitumen in the world, and as recently as 2006, produced over 1 million barrels of crude oil per day.

Road interrupted by a sand dune, Nile Valley, Egypt. Dunes cover nearly one-third of the Sahara, and the highest, in linear form, can attain a height of almost 1,000 feet (300 m). Barchans are mobile, crescent-shaped dunes that move in the direction of the prevailing wind at rates as high as 33 feet (10 m) per year, sometimes even covering infrastructures such as this road in the Nile Valley

Tea cultivation in Corrientes province, Argentina. The fertility of the red soil and the regular rains of the Corrientes region create the ideal conditions for the cultivation of tea. In an effort to protect the soil against erosion, tea is planted along curved terraces and protected from the wind by hedges. Unlike Asian and African countries, where the young sprouts are handpicked, in Argentina mechanical harvesting is the rule, done mainly with high-clearance tractors that are driven along the straight rows of tea bushes.

Icebergs and an Adelie penguin, Adelie Land, Antarctica. Antarctica, the sixth continent, is a unique observation point for atmospheric and climatic phenomena; its ancient ice, which trapped air when it was formed, contains evidence of the Earth's climate as it has changed and developed over the past millions of years.

American cemetery north of Verdun, Meuse, France. Covering some 40 hectares (100 acres) at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Verdun, the American cemetery was dedicated in 1935 by the American Battle Monuments Commission. The commission was created in 1923 at the request of General Pershing, who had taken part in the American offensive of 1918. Its aim was to undertake architectural and landscape studies in order to restructure American cemeteries and commemorative monuments in Europe. Whereas the French army chose to build permanent cemeteries where temporary cemeteries had been made during the hostilities, the American army opted to create a single cemetery. Some 25,000 American tombs scattered around Verdun were then brought together at Romagne where, after almost half the bodies were repatriated to American soil, 14,246 soldiers have lain ever since.

Islet in the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines. More than 6,000 of the 7,100 Philippine Islands are uninhabited, like this islet in the Sulu Archipelago, a set of 500 islands that separate the Celebes and the Sulu seas. Their extraordinary biodiversity is under threat, not from distant industrial sites but from the effects of global pollution. These islands, which barely rise above the surface of the water, are among the first potential victims of global warming and are certain to disappear when the sea level rises

10 Web Browsers You Probably Haven’t Heard Of

2010-01-12T16:03:00.000+05:30

Firefox. Internet Explorer. Chrome. Safari. Opera. We've pretty much all heard of them by now. They've been fighting for market share for the past few years (Internet Explorer has been fighting for it for a lot longer than that), and it's unlikely any of them will ever come out the absolute winner.

They try to be all things to all people. And that's great. What if you're looking for a browser that does just the things you want to do online? What if you're sick of all the browser-war hubub and want something that's truly unique and different (and, maybe, works better than the mainstream options)? What then? Well, there's good news.

There are more than a dozen excellent alternative browsers out there if you're looking for something distinctive. Below are ten such web browsers, along with why you might want to consider using them.

No, I am Santa Singh!

2009-09-12T17:01:00.001+05:30

After finishing his usual morning jogging rounds of the park, Santa Singh was lying prone on one of the wooden benches that dot the park. A passerby jogger slowed down and asked him “Are you relaxing?”

Santa Singh replied: '”No Yaar! I am Santa Singh!”. Perplexed, the jogger moved on. Then another one came by and asked the same question: “Are you relaxing?”. Santa’s usual reply: “No…I’m Santa Singh”.

This went on for two-three times and by now our Santa was frustrated with it all. He started off homewards when he saw Banta Singh sitting on one of the benches near the exit. As he passed by, he greeted him, to which Banta Singh replied “I am relaxing”.

An indignant Santa Singh stops in his tracks and shouts at him “Oye Relaxing! Tu itthe baitha hae…log tereko park ke andar dhoond rahe hain!!!” (You are sitting here…while people are searching for you inside the park!)

I Know its an old one…but funny nonetheless.

Ooty Trip - Video

2008-07-02T21:17:00.001+05:30

Ooty Trip from Yerramalli Chittaranjan on Vimeo.

Life is a game. Winners take all...

2008-06-14T02:26:00.008+05:30

This is a case of a photographer photographing a photographer!!! The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.

I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock beside the Grand Canyon. The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe. Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:

How did he climb that rock?
Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe?
How will he get back?

This is the point of no return. After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes. At that point he had the full attention of the crowd. After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...

The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock. We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer. He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand. Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem. He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away. At that moment I take this shot:

He pushes his body against the rock. He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away....

Moral: "Impossible is Nothing". Life is a game. Winner takes all...

Tales from the Panchatantra - Modern Style

2007-07-11T14:34:00.000+05:30

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.

One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.

The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.

As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."

She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"

Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."

The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own?”

The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!!!” So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!

Moral: Be up-to-date with technology trends.

FM Radio through the Net

2007-07-06T16:29:00.000+05:30

A li'l birdie (in fact several li'l birdies) tells me that people in Hyderabad can now listen to the popular FM Radio Channels like Radio Mirchi, Radio City, S FM, Big FM & Rainbow FM via the internet!!!

Some kind soul is taking a lot of pains to re-broadcast these radio channels over the net. Peace be upon him :-)

But please be sure that you have a blazing fast internet connection - broadband connections of 128 kbps speeds or greater will be better. If you do have such a speed connection, then head over to VoiceVibes and choose your favorite stations!!!

Enjoyyy......

Listen to Radio on the Net

2007-07-05T19:58:00.000+05:30

A lot of the comments on this blog are in the Radio post wherein people ask me as to how to listen to radio off the net! For the umpteenth time lemme tell you that one can listen to FM stations like Radio City or Radio Mirchi on the net ONLY if someone Re-Broadcasts it. And by Re-Broadcasting, I mean that someone has to take the Radio feed from any FM transceiver and feed it onto a PC through the line-in port and use servers such as Shoutcast's to broadcast the feed that can be accessed by a URL! (phew!). I'll explain in detail some other day.

But apart from Radio City & Radio Mirchi, there are loads of other FM stations that broadacast both Hindi and English songs (Sorry! I haven't yet come across a Telugu station yet!). For the details, refer to my earlier Post: Online Radio. I use the Yahoo Widget mentioned in that post to configure and listen to various stations all throughout the day.

The ones that I listen to most of the time are:

RadioOfIndia

HumFM

OneDotFM

ApnaRadio

BombayBeatz

DesiSoundz

Trishul

ApniAwaaz

DeathFM

SnakeNet

I'd like to warn you that not all of them might be functional : If I don't get a stream from one source, I switch onto the next so can't say for sure which one works round-the-clock! For you to play these streams, you'd need Windows Media Player or Real Player installed in your system and yeah, a pretty fast net connection is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!

Romantic Lines..with Twist at the End!

2007-03-22T11:51:00.000+05:30

Most Romantic Lines (THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE)

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other
-- That is until I met your brother.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;

But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes;
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe “Go to hell!!!”

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts vodka, one part lime.

Tenderest Love Ishtoree

2007-01-30T16:52:00.001+05:30

This is a true story of a young college girl who passed away last month. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a lorry. She has a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them are true lovers. They always hanged about over the phone. You can never see her without her handphone. In fact she also changed her phone from Airtel to Hutch, so both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost.

She spends half of the day talking with Shankar. Priya's family knows about their relationship. Shankar is very close with Priya's family. (Just imagine their love). Before she passed away she always told her friends "If I pass away please burn me with my handphone" she also said the same thing to her parents.

After her death, people can’t carry her coffin, I was there. A lot of them tried to do so but still cant, everybody including me, had tried to carry the coffin, the result is still the same. Eventually, they called their neighbor, a "Saint" from Thailand (Pak Darin), who is a friend of her father. He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said "this girl misses something here". Then her friends told Darin about her intentions to burn her with her phone. He then opened the coffin and places her phone and SIM card inside the casket. After that they tried to carry the coffin. It could be moved and they carried it into the van easily. All of us were shocked. (Can u feel the fear? I'm shaking at this moment)

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away. After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom. Shankar..."Atta, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Don’t tell Priya that I'm coming home today, I wanna surprise her." Her mother replied....."You come home first, I wanna tell you something very important." after he came, they told him the truth about Priya.

Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said "don’t try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, I have a gift for her Please stop this nonsense". Then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. (Shankar started to sweat)...

He said... "It’s not true. We spoke yesterday. She still calls me. Shankar was shaking. Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang. "See this is from Priya, see this..." he showed the phone to Priya’s family. All of them told him to answer. He talked using the loudspeaker mode. All of them heard his conversation.

Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her SIM card since it is nailed inside the coffin they were so shocked and asked for Pak Darin's help again. Pak Darin brought his master (Phook Chen) to solve this matter. He & Darin worked for 5 hours. Then they discovered one thing...

Mike Hussey....

2007-01-30T16:52:00.000+05:30

Tinku had a crush on Chinki. He had been showering her with attention, having long phone conversations with her, and gotten quite close to her. But he still didn't know if she liked him back "that" way.

He asked his best friend, an expert womaniser, how to figure that out. The laconic friend, gave him a cryptic 3-word piece of advice. Armed with this advice, he went to meet her. And looking at her intently, he asked,"Chinki, who do you think is the best batsman in the world right now?"

Chinki blushed and said, "Mike Hussey".Tinku was overjoyed. He knew now that Chinki liked him as much as he liked her!!!

After all, as his friend said, "Hussey, toh phasee".

Yama & the three politicos

2006-06-26T16:46:00.000+05:30

Once Nitish Kumar, L.K. Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were travelling in an Auto Rickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them died. Yama was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death. He asks Nitish Kumar and Advani to go to Heaven. But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to Hell!!!

Laloo is not at all happy with this decision.He asks Yama as to why this discrimination is being made. All the three of them had served the public. Similarly, all took bribes, all misused public positions, etc. Then why the differential treatment? He felt that there should be a formal test or an objective evaluation before a decision is made; and should not be just based on opinion or preconceived notions.

Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test. Nitish Kumar is asked to spell "INDIA" and he does it correctly. Advani is asked to spell "ENGLAND" and he too passes.It is Laloo's turn and he is asked to spell "CZECHOSLOVAKIA". Laloo protests that he doesn't know English. He says this is not fair and that he was given a tough question and thus forced to fail with false intent. Yama then agrees to conduct a written test in Hindi (to give another chance assuming that Laloo should at least feel that Hindi would provide an equal platform for all three).Nitish is asked to write "KUTTA BOLA BHOW BHOW". He writes it easily and passes. Advani is asked to write "BILLI BOLI MEOW MEOW". He too passes.Laloo is asked to write "BANDAR BOLA GRRRRRR....." Tough one. He fails again.

Laloo is extremely unhappy. Having been a student of history (which the other two weren't), he now requested for all the 3 to be subjected to a test in history Yama says ok but this would be the last chance and that he would not take any more tests.Nitish is asked: "When did India get Independence?". He replied "1947" and passed. Advani is asked "How many people died during the independence struggle?" He gets nervous. Yama asked him to choose from 3 options: 100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000.Advani catches it and says 200,000 and passes. It's Laloo's turn now.Yama asks him to give the Name and Address of each of the 200,000 who died in the independence struggle. Laloo accepts defeat and agrees to go to Hell!!

Beer is Good

2006-06-26T14:46:00.000+05:30

Know why? Here's Why....

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver'."
-- Jack Handy

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. "
--Frank Sinatra

"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading."
-- Henny Youngman

"24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not."
-- Stephen Wright

"When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven!"
-- Brian O'Rourke

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
-- Benjamin Franklin

"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza."
-- Dave Barry

"To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can!"
-- Dave Howell

And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went:
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Sardar Vs. St.Peter

2006-06-22T13:01:00.000+05:30

A Sardar died and went to heaven. When he got to the pearly gate, Saint Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain admittance, a prospective heavenly soul must answer two questions:

Name two days of the week that begin with "T".
How many seconds are there in a year?

The Sardar thought for a few minutes and answered:

The two days of the week that begin with "T" are Today and Tomorrow.
There are 12 seconds in a year.

Saint Peter said, "OK, I'll accept today and tomorrow, even though it’s not the answer I expected. But how did you get only 12 seconds in a year?"

The Sardar replied, "Well, January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd, etc...."

Saint Peter lets him in without another word J J

Sardar Vs. Pope

2006-06-21T12:23:00.000+05:30

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Sikhs had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Sikh community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Sikh community. If the Sikh won, the Sikhs could stay. If the Pope won, the Sikhs would leave. The Sikhs realized that they had no choice. So they picked a middle-aged man named Harbinder Singh to represent them.

Harbinder asked for one additional condition to the debate. To make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk.

The Pope agreed.

The day of the great debate came. Harbinder Singh and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute. Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Harbinder looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Harbinder pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Harbinder pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good. The Sikhs can stay."

An hour later, the cardinals were gathered around the Pope asking him what had happened. The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still One God common to both our religions. Then, I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us. Then, I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"

Meanwhile, the Sikh community had crowded around Harbinder Singh. "What happened?" they asked. "Well," said Harbinder, "First he said to me that the Sikhs had three days to get out of here. I told him not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Sikhs. I let him know that we were staying right here." "Yes, and then???" asked the crowd. "I don't know", said Harbinder, "He took out his lunch, and I took out mine."

Conversation

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"

And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, "No........I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the guy say nervously... "Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!"

Where's Bob?

2006-06-07T17:20:00.000+05:30

George Bush goes to a primary school to give a speech. After his talk he offers question time.
One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him what his name is.

"Bob".
"And what is your question, Bob?"
"I have 3 questions. First........... Why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second...... Why are you President when Kerry got more votes?
And the third.... What happened to Osama Bin Laden?

Just then the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh that's right….. question time. Who has a question?"

A different little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him what his name is.

"Steve"
"And what is your question, Steve?"
"I have 5 questions.
First.......... Why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN?
Second..... Why are you President when Kerry got more votes?
Third........ What happened to Osama Bin Laden?
Fourth...... Why did the recess bell go 20 minutes early?
And fifth... Where is Bob???? ”
