World Superstitiously!!!

2012-02-01T15:03:00.000+05:30

Aversion go past me at least once in an every single day,when I hear some person speaking about obscure things.Why do people not realize that? They of course know what is wrong and what not to do..? Since they were told not to or to, they simply adhere to the words.The conception of this post was because of the people those who fall in my eyesight .They are not ignorant to do or believe such beliefs.

Superstition- Few instances of blaming other creatures. 1. If a black cat crosses your path, its a sign of bad luck.When the same black puss walks towards you, it brings good fortune and vice-versa . (sigh !)! 2.When a lizard falls on you,the result relies on which part did it fall on you. On the top, to know this result of falling lizard I have seen books peculiarly made for this purpose. 3.A bird entering a house is a sign of the death of some family member.4.If a crow makes sound from north east direction outside your house, its the sign of some relatives coming eye to your house. So that you can run out of your house before your relative comes. How absurd? Is that your sentry? or Homing Crow? 5.If you have had reverie where a snake bites you or even chases you, its the sign of bad omen. C'mon, its not an exaggeration.

Few instances where you will be blamed. 1.Shaking your leg!!! Sounds good right? Yeah. That will end up in a money loss in your family.2. Spitting your bitten nail inside your house.Yeah I agree.That might prick others when they step on it. But how is that going to affect the economy of your family. 3.If you keep tapping your doors' latch, there will be some fight between your family members.Yeah! This is true.This happened to me once. Wait! Don't get shocked.Once I kept tapping the latch.A person warned me not to do that. I started digging to find a good reason out of him.But I failed. But that went as an argument.Ended up in naming me an uncompromising. May be this is what they called FIGHT between family members.4.Putting your right foot first before entering your house or football ground or exam hall or where ever you want to shine.What did your left leg do to you?It will help you no where. 6.Throwing a pinch of salt on your shoulders would end your bad luck. 7.A boy should take head-bath only on particular days in a week. 8. Shirking Non-Veg on few days in a week.Okay!. They say those days are auspicious. Other days? Not auspicious?!!! Every new day is a special one in humanes' life.

The apex of all these is the marriage between a donkey and a man. This does not stop here. To frog, to cow, and even with trees have men got married.Reason is so strange.Its for Rain to shower. Though these things fading away I wanted to adduce it. 10. Moribund for lucky color stones, lucky dress, lucky rupee note, lucky color, lucky number and so on...

As a matter of fact, I grope compassion towards the people who are blindly after these myths . What one can possibly do to stop people worrying about such fables other than blogging? The one thing that makes me desperate is when I see even some CULTURED folk are trapped into the so called Superstition...

My Stairway and My Destiny...

2011-10-15T15:00:00.003+05:30

The time in which an individual has to be cautious,the time in which a person has to be a liable one,the time in which a character has to be a provident, is during adolescent.People term this time as a turning point in one's existence.I consent and I have to...

Because I perceive the events and their outcomes attested that. Nevertheless I merely have crossed my so called teenage I scarcely demand "On what an individual should suppose , Destiny or Sequel?"

If I go for Destiny, I do not need to worry about anything.Is it not? It is not going to matter if I had chosen either a wrong path with plenty of obstacles or the right track with same number of obstacles.Because the path I had chosen is also predestination .So I mechanically would arrive at my destination.Is it not?

If I stick to the statement that I will be facing the Sequel for things I do in my day to day life, I have to sarcastically be aware,which would probably make me woeful.And here I manually make my path either uneven or flawless.Then every mortal would start worrying about themselves,for every time the clock ticks.

The Stairways that I had so far had always been skidding.This alarms me and makes me panic about my steps that are ahead of me.Would those be Destiny Stairs or Sequel Stairs???!!!

I put forth this query in your hand!!!

I regret ! ! !

2011-10-09T10:56:00.000+05:30

A lie...... and I still regret...

I found this can be the best way to explain how I perceive because of a lie, to my friends.
My life was smooth and sleek.All at once, I was unable to concentrate because my mind was preoccupied by an affair I had.I altogether can not blame my affair rather I blame my fate,locality,circumstances etc...
Those were the worst part of my life,where I became an agnostic.I lost all my hope towards my destiny.
There were really few,who understood my status and they did back me up.My friends circle shrank.
I was caught by a hurricane.The outset of the hurricane was quite horrible.It hit me very hard.I was ripped apart by that.I could not move.As I said, only few were ready to help me.Ultimately even the hurricane was one among the few I felt.Some sort of good fortune had fallen on me, I should agree.
The storm took me to another world,where I wanted to be.New world, new friends and everything was new.I did not want to lose all those.Only thing i could do was to maintain that dignity or rank or title or what ever, that I had among the NEW.All I did was a lie.I regret that lie was so idiotic, silly. But it mattered to me.
I conceive that lie was not at all necessary.I do not know how to get rid of that matter.
Some day you people will come to know, I was pretty sure about that.I want you , my friends ,not to ignore me and I hope you all will remit me, and take me out of this cage of lie.
I hurt ,hurts me a lot.I can see this matter would no way bother you.You will not even have time to consider this matter.But in case, If you feel disgusted on me,I would not be able to talk or face you.
And that is why this post is for.
I expect you all will understand my emotion and will forgive this poor me rather than hating .

A mere note of a boy in my reverie...

2011-10-08T09:44:00.001+05:30

A dawn, I woke up in the thought of blogging because of an aftermath of my dream i had that entire night. So far in my life I never had such a big reverie about a particular matter.

Its all about a boy.I just wanted to inscribe those visuals left in my mind.He was from a family occupying a socioeconomic position intermediate between those of the lower classes and the wealthy.He actually had no ambition,attitude,stance or what ever about his life.He was on his own sleek life.The guy is known for his hush that he always had on any circumstance.He was so sociable with his neighbors.His only life was F-R-I-E-N-D-S, hide and seek game,some time studies, and full time telly.Lad was not matured enough to know the meaning of friends.A day came ,his father officially got transferred.That was the day , entire family was ready and packed up to move to their new place.

The guy was busy driving his old kids-cycle which was found on the top shelf,which he could not reach all those days.It was almost time to leave.A woman came to that boy and told him that one of his friend is crying.He asked "why?".But that women took him to his friend.The boy realized the meaning of his friends' tears.Boy's eye started watering.This was the day he became fully aware of a word FRIEND and its significance.Our boy could not have any discourse.His cry overtook his words.He had no words for his friend.The last meeting went unvoiced but with those inestimable tears.He had nothing to give him except those memories that were left behind.

These words are not ample enough to explain those visuals I had...

Steve Jobs...

2011-10-07T14:05:00.002+05:30

This post is dedicated for One of the World's Best CEO. May his soul Rest In Peace...

Below is the speech given by Late.Mr.Steve Jobs.(1955-2011).(Co-founder Of Apple.Inc.).at Stanford University 2005...

I am honoured to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2bn company with over 4,000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our board of directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologise for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumour on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumour. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Useful Run Commands

2011-10-05T05:08:00.002+05:30

Do you use the Run feature in Windows XP?For most, this feature remains unused (or rarely used).Why is that?Well, first off nearly all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows.There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature.

Interesting Facts Unplugged !!!

2011-10-05T04:20:00.003+05:30

'Stewardesses' is the longest word typed with only the left hand and 'lollipop' with your right. (Bet you tried this out mentally, didn't you?)

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple.

'Dreamt' is the only English word that ends in the letters 'mt'. (Are you doubting this?)

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

The sentence: 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you're going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

The words 'racecar,' 'kayak' and 'level' are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes). (Yep, I knew you were going to 'do' this one.)

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn't too luxurious.

When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president's secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.

Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle why he was so interested in talking to her. She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her.

President Obama then said, " Oh, so if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant" , to which Michelle responded, "No, if I had married him, he would now be the President"

Think twice before deciding!!!

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make...

Scroll down

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.

4 Criminals Puzzle!!!

2011-10-04T15:44:00.003+05:30

4 criminals are caught and are to be punished.The

judge allows them to be freed if they can solve a

puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They

agreed.

The 4 criminals are lined up on some steps (shown in

picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A

wall separates the fourth man from the other three.

So to summarize: Man 1 can see men 2 and 3. Man 2

can see man 3. Man 3 can see none of the others.

Man 4 can see none of the others. The criminals are

wearing hats. They are told that there are two white

hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know

what color hat they are wearing. They are told to

shout out the color of the hat that they are wearing

as soon as they know for certain what color it is.

They are not allowed to turn round or move.They are

not allowed to talk to each other. They are not

allowed to take their hats off. Who is the first person

to shout out and why?

Answer:

If both Man 2, Man 3 have same hat color. Man 1

shouts opposite color to that of Man 2 and Man 3. If

Man 2, Man 3 have different hat color. Man 1 is quiet.

So Man 2, shouts opposite color to that of Man 3!
