When you have hurt
someone you care
about admit where
you're wrong and
say "sorry", no matter
how foolish you may feel.
There is great humility in
love and friendship.
It's better than losing
someone you love.

Better to be a fool with a friend than proud and lonely.

Deepest Lake In The World

2011-04-07T15:44:00.001+05:30

Deepest Lake In The
World ?
Lake Baikal (Baikal) in
Siberia, Russia is the
deepest lake in the world measuring 1620m deep at its deepest point. This makes it not only deep but also the oldest lake in the world estimated to be around 25 million years old. At over 636 kilometers long and 80 kilometers wide this fresh water lake holds over 20 percent of all the fresh
water in the world and is second in size only to the Caspian Sea (the caspian is called a sea but is technically a lake).
To put things into
perspective the lake is so big that if all therivers in the world flowed into its basin it would take almost
1 year to fill. We all know Siberia isn’t the warmest of places so you can imagine what a
phenomenal site it is
when in the winter
months the lake freezes over holding ice up to 115 meters thick. Now that’s a lot of ice!

Supporters of anti-corruption activist
Anna Hazare are growing in number at Delhi's Jantar Mantar as his fast entered a second day on Wednesday.
Hazare shot off a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday telling him that he must act now to implement the
Lokpal bill.
Spontaneous protests on Wednesday stopped
politicians trying to reach out to Anna Hazare. The message is clear - there is no place for politicians in a
people's darbar against
corruption.
Anna Hazare who has
been fasting for two days send out a curt message to the PM and the political parties– don’t mess around.
"Unhappy that instead of solving the issue of
corruption, Government
is more bothered about
speculating on our
movement. I have heard that people have said that I have been cornered into fasting. This is an insult to
my intelligence and
wisdom. I have exercised my restraint. We have eight versions of the Lokpal Bill. You (the Prime Minister) haven't passed the weak version. Please
do not mislead the nation, by telling that we are not ready to talk," Hazare wrote in the letter.
"You have said that the
Government has initiated
certain processes. Some of the people drafting the legislation should have been in jail. Should I have faith in these processes? If
you were in my place,
would you still have faith in these processes?" he asked.
"I am not a child and
please don't doubt my
wisdom. I take suggestion from my colleague, but make my own decision.
We were not getting any response from the Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi.
They did not send any
reply to three of my
letters, that's why I decide to go on fast-unto-death," he wrote.
As Hazare's movement
gains momentum, parties rush in. For the BJP, it’s a chance to strengthen its campaign before
Assembly elections while for the congress it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
Sensing the mood, the
congress and the
government moved in
their crisis managers.
Law Minister Veerappa
Moily who is also
reframing the Lokpal bill
has promised to
incorporate some
suggestions.
"Even on the demand for joint committee, we said we were open. We never closed our mind even on the formation of joint committee...In principle we did not say no," Moily said adding, that the Prime Minister was open to all suggestions on the
bill.
Jammu & Kashmir Chief
Minister Omar Abdullah,
sensing the public mood, supported Anna.
The government which is snowed by scams is now careful not to take on Hazare, the people's face in the fight against
corruption.
But it’s Sharad Pawar who has been particularly singled out by Anna Hazare questioning his presence in the GOM on
corruption - Hazare had
demanded he step down.
Pawar on Wednesday
offered to do so.
“I will be happy if you
relieve me from all Group of Ministers (GoMs), including that GoM (on corruption),” he said.
The BJP is on a bit of a
backfoot after an
aggressive speech by the prime minister in
Parliament has bounced
back on the strength of
Hazare's fast.
Government sources
admit they are in a bit of a bind, that they
underestimated the
strength of Hazare's
campign and though it
would want the hunger
strike to end soon, it
doesn’t want to be on the wrong side of the politicalspace either.
The 72-year-old social
activist, supported by
eminent persons including Kiran Bedi and Arvind Kejriwal, has been demanding that the drafting committee for the Lokpal Bill to tackle corruption should include members of civil society.
He started his
fast-unto-death at New Delhi's Jantar
Mantar on Tuesday.

By crude estimate at
least 95% of politicians,
judges, police,
bureaucrats, industrialists,
etc. are corrupt. These
corrupts are looting our
country for last sixty
years. They are nothing
but native invaders,
thieves and criminals and the single largest threat to the national security. They are not Sahibs, they deserve boot of the masses. According to the
standard of any civilized
country they deserve at least rigorous life
imprisonment. Read the
sections below to know
how mean they are. India is going through a state of complete anarchy. For every posted news,
there are 1000 similar
incidents unreported in
the media.

Laptops

2011-04-04T03:36:00.002+05:30

A laptop (notebook) is a personal
computer for mobile
use. A laptop
integrates most of the
typical components of a desktop computer,
including a display, a
keyboard, a pointing
device (a touchpad, also known as a trackpad, and/or apointing stick) and speakers into a
single unit. A laptop is
powered bymains
electricity via an AC
adapter, and can be
used away from an
outlet using a
rechargeable battery. A laptop battery in new condition typically
stores enough energy
to run the laptop for
three to five hours,
depending on the
computer usage,
configuration and power management settings.
When the laptop is
plugged into the mains, the battery charges, whether or not the computer is running.
Portable computers,
originally monochrome
CRT-based and
developing into the
modern laptop, were
originally considered to be a small niche market, mostly for specialized field applications such as the military,accountants and sales
representatives. As
portable computers
became smaller, lighter, and cheaper and as screens became larger and of better quality,
laptops became very
widely used for all sorts of purposes.

A Reality

" The worst in life is
'Attachment'; it hurts
when you lose it. The
best thing in life is
'Loneliness' because it
teaches you everything
and when you lose it,
you get everything."
