I spoke to her on the last day of college in library. I had seen her everywhere

speaking tree</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" lang="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">“You
don't belong here, how come you are here?”, asked the saint to the tree, seeing
it was a very unusual. The tree said “probably I am not from here. A comet or
meteorite may have brought me down here when I was a seed. I have learnt the
language listening to passing by people over the years.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">P.S:
Based on the theory or concept that life was seeded on earth, probably brought
down by comet or meteorite from another planet, where life was plentiful,
probably mars or some other habitable planet outside solar system as well.
Recently there has been enough data to confirm the existence of earth like
planets. These are called Exoplanets.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYvaac_CIugDhlSsk9Puk88VGKYSrxwRrA4EqWezz6ewshJaK-HkzUoPHQSZkTNWFU43kI4MYQX5DT-qh-dL8ZifGqsDU5B2spvrPTx3QufEfi-YF3l1QtavlINIbk0Ib-diopndcKj_mv/s500/speaking-tree.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYvaac_CIugDhlSsk9Puk88VGKYSrxwRrA4EqWezz6ewshJaK-HkzUoPHQSZkTNWFU43kI4MYQX5DT-qh-dL8ZifGqsDU5B2spvrPTx3QufEfi-YF3l1QtavlINIbk0Ib-diopndcKj_mv/w320-h320/speaking-tree.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL6c9z3XcINyXQwkddF0TJdragZF_pj2FQ1Ck6fGq7Ti_ADqU0J0dJlzlNRgMyYfvxiO-a9dXNdGWMnx_TwTmi2kGxv2j4M_iMvVl8OZ3zjIPt99WIUUoYnCQX3Xgr0_ODWfxRGA_p1cLu/s1920/speakingtree.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1920" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL6c9z3XcINyXQwkddF0TJdragZF_pj2FQ1Ck6fGq7Ti_ADqU0J0dJlzlNRgMyYfvxiO-a9dXNdGWMnx_TwTmi2kGxv2j4M_iMvVl8OZ3zjIPt99WIUUoYnCQX3Xgr0_ODWfxRGA_p1cLu/w328-h205/speakingtree.jpg" width="328" /></a></div><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang=""><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">4. </span><span face="" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">The

their student life. It started to pour while they were about to leave.
"Take this umbrella, I know you dislike carrying it, but you are not as young

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Big Sick is a light-hearted romantic\ comedy movie - like the ones you watch on Romedy Now TV channel. After watching the movie you feel a kind of subtleness reflected in you from the storyline & the characters of the movie. Sometimes love is just about showing up, being there, being available, though the other person may not realize it. Everyone is super busy or they appear to be these days & sparing the few precious moments of your life for another person means that you are giving away something valuable part of yourself i.e your time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Working on a relationship to care & share the little joys of life, means a lot in building a relationship. This movie tells that relationship are not built in a day, or there is a great attraction at work to make it happen instantly but takes courage & persistence to just make things right coz that makes sense. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Kumail, the actor plays his own character in the movie, does a superb job whereas acting doesn't come naturally to Emily. Kumail- A Pakistani, who drives a cab in the US tries to impress Emily parents, when Emily gets hospitalized for some serious problem, the subtle light-hearted humour in this context & situations is refreshing here. Kumail also tries his hand in stand up comedy which is catching up a lot these days. He is really not funny on stage & creates a pathetic situation pouring his heart out in front of the audience. That's the way the story starts when he meets Emily - one of his audience & ends too in a similar setup. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes love is the hope to hold onto someone or something, knowing that perhaps its not meant to be, perhaps its meant to fade away or die or fail, but still trying, waiting it out. The story revolves around the stereotypes and cultural differences between Pakistani & US mindsets. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In nutshell, a good watch if you like a slow-paced, light-hearted comedy. </div>

If R K Laxman was alive in this time period, I am sure he would have had a lot of inspirations to draw some great & amazing humor, sarcasm arising out of this high denomination notes ban in India. Well I am not good at drawing, so you will have to just imagine the scenes below :<br />
If anyone interested please draw the cartoons for the below quotes depicting the scenes.<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know, Indian Govt banned the HDN(high denomination notes - Rs 500 & Rs1000) as a measure to prevent the holding of black money & stop corruption & counterfeit notes on 8-11-2016.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Scene : Village footpath<br />
Beggar : Come Netaji, Please sit beside me, I may have some change to get you started, here is a crash course on begging. Listen carefully, always request the middle class...<br />
<br />
Scene : Common man's house<br />
Housewife : Dear husband, I have always loved you, I may have taken some notes from your wallet by mistake over several years, can you please convert it to change now, my PAN card is in my father's place, so are my other ID cards.<br />

<br />
Scene : Bank<br />
Employee : Manager sir, Whether we will get holiday or extra salary for the all extra work we have done these days for money exchange ?<br />

<br />
Scene :Village<br />
People chatting : we never had problem of cash in our village, every year some or the other Neta was generously donating, we of course had the scarcity of power, water, toilets, schools etc. We never imagined the situation would become so worse, scarcity for cash also !!<br />

Expert 2 : The figures are highly exaggerated, we can achieve maximum of 0.04 percent less corruption, that too after certain conditions are imposed.<br />
Expert 3 : This is not the way to go forward.<br />
Expert 4 : People will find other ways to accumulate black money.<br />
Expert 5 : This was the easiest option among many options available to prevent corruption & holding black money<br />
Common man : Who the hell are these experts ?<br />
<br />
Scene : Bank<br />

Foreigner to his kid : No, They are not giving away Apple I Phones, those people are waiting in long Que for withdrawing their own money.<br />
<br />
Scene : Common household<br />
Maid : Madam, I want your or Sir's PAN number this time before you give me salary, I want to disclose my income & all sources to PM. Also I want to raise, I need to start paying my income tax.<br />
<br />

Common man : Welcome back Netaji after 5 yrs, have you come to withdraw the money from the ATM you inaugurated ? Actually no one has used the ATM, as there is no power to our village.<br />
<br />
Scene : Village<br />
Common man : Demonetization ?? Well, I have studied till 2nd standard & don't understand that word. No there is no impact on our village, we have not seen Rs 500 or Rs 1000 notes in our lives.<br />
<br />
Scene : Common man house front door<br />
LPG broker : Madam, Please take our LPG, many are in stock, you can give half the amount as you were used to give earlier, we will filled it completely this time. I will just wait here till you have the change.<br />
<br />
Scene : Software engineer at the back of ATM Que<br />
Thinking to himself : So this is how it feels like when I open a new window when my computer is hung up.<br />

Well, your family, friends & near ones have to just bear with you... here are some side effects of being <strike>Awesome</strike> geek.<br />
<br />
You tend to be polite, humble & complacent, although you may act with ego certain times, probably because the social situation dictates, you know that you are insignificant in this vast universe, just a tiny spec of dust on this pale blue dot & you may go out of existence anytime<br />
<br />
You keep networking with people who are exactly similar to you.<br />
<br />
One of your worst nightmares is loosing all your data, so you take back up of your backup.. Ufff it has to stop at some level.<br />
<br />
You tend to imagine living with your imaginary girlfriend.<br />
<br />
Your family keeps asking you to loose weight, you just throw all such suggestions out of window, & you are happy to be on the couch.<br />
<br />
You tend to keep away from people who are in leadership roles, probably fear that they may control you.<br />
<br />
You strive for perfection, making lives of other miserable sometimes, sometimes developing OCD's - Obsessive Compulsive disorder. <br />
<br />
You tend to dislike discussing about facts & figures, you like to brainstorm on bigger ideas, solve bigger problems.<br />
<br />
What new qualities have you developed by being a geek? Do let me know in the comments section. </div>

<br />
Well, Nerd is the new Sexy, the topic of post being different just to keep the keen eyes of SEO away from my blog. With fast paced technology changes & jobs, the trend these days is shifting towards a greater percentage of work getting done on the computers, online or offline. Smartphones are like miniature computers invading our bedrooms & bathrooms as well. Actually many people just don't mind being plugged into a wall, away from the disturbances and outside real life events. The new algorithms, the new challenges in security, automation in various industries like manufacturing, monitor & control in various industries have led to more people move towards being nerdy - fashionably. A sitcom like Big Bang Theory is a hit worldwide not just in few countries. Many people like the show, although many may not admit that openly.<br />
<br />
Here are the typical characteristics of being a nerd, well this is my opinion & limited to my experiences & my friends circle, my travel across couple of countries. But I guess you may relate to few of them. <br />
<br />
You are a nerd if you watch mind fuck movies like Matrix, Inception, Primer, Donnie Darko, Triangle, Interstellar, Prestige, Momento etc. Nolan is one of your favorite directors, you wonder why there aren't enough such movies.<br />
<br />
You keep an eye on hacking stuff, optimizing the existing stuff, like trying to improvise everything around you. Keen eye on incremental design changes.<br />
<br />
You become excited & happy by associating the mundane everyday things with science /movie/comics concepts like when you see the number 42- probably you & your partner knows about that smile on your face. For those of you who don't know - 42 is ultimate answer to life universe & everything else- from the Hitchhikers guide to galaxy. Do read the book if you haven't already.<br />
<br />
Your secretly wish something spectacular event like supernova, or reception of a message from outer space should happen in your lifetime, the events which are really unlikely to happen in next 100 yrs or so. In fact you have a secret bucket list of weird things to do like see auroras or visit strange phenomenon across the globe.<br />
<br />
You are a nerd if you have watched movies like Matrix like for 5 times, trying to figure out each & every line. secretly feeling that you were the one or hoping that matrix should be true. There is theory in fact which suggests our lives are nothing more but an simulation. How depressing !<br />
<br />
Religiously watched Big Bang Theory, hated Sheldon in public, but secretly admired him even a part of you wants to be like him, if not entirely annoying.<br />
<br />
You don't have time to watch all the great movies or read popular books, so you just read the spoilers & move on.<br />
<br />
You actually sat down with pencil & paper & drew the timelines of time travel movies.<br />
<br />
You start thinking sideways or out of the box without grasping an interesting concept completely, imagining the most bizarre of the things related to it.<br />
<br />
You have a sarcastic perspective towards things, not necessarily negative or depressing which you don't want to think sometimes.<br />
<br />
You can quantify KLOC easily, rather than those rarely used units of measure like gallons or pounds.<br />
<br />
You may like computer games, but you look for something more like learning or brain games etc or you use them to relax like others.<br />
<br />
What in your opinion makes one nerdy ?<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
As I found the last packet of Maggi in home, I was delighted inspite all the claims of Maggi containing lead & MSG- harmful substances, I couldn't resist the desire to give a proper good bye hug by savoring it plateful & paying full attention without watching TV. These were the thoughts that ran across my mind while enjoying the last plate of Maggi. :<br />
<br />
OK baby we will do it one more time, the world need not know, just for the old times sake we need to do it one last time, for the thrill in it.<br />
<br />
We ate Maggi when we were hungry in middle of night, in hostel when nothing was available & this was the only food which used to bring excitement & joy. In outings & trips where the conventional food doesn't get transported easily. We enjoyed Maggi when we were desperately hungry when there was nothing in stomach or after cooking experiment failed. This was the plan B in case your newly learnt dish turns out bad. This was backup plan for newly weds. There are jokes on net that 90 percent of women removed Maggi as their cooking skill after this ban happened.<br />
<br />
But on a serious note, we need to wake up to understand the ingredients in the foods we eat. This Maggi was clearly the case of nestle under reacting & Govt overreacting. But we should react appropriately to other food stuffs we consume. How many of us care to bother the ingredients mentioned on the food stuffs ? There are so many local & international companies making & selling products which are not quality checked. There are local delicacies which are consumed from many years or even generations. What about them ? I suggest govt & the food committees do at-least top 100 food stuffs quality checks first, then the later can follow.</div>

Aakansha went out in the rain to cry pretending to get the clothes. Life had become too mundane, too predictable, taking care of her family. She was ambitious, she wanted to see the world, had so many great ideas. She thought there is danger in taking risks, more in not taking & getting bored too.<br />
<br />
P.S : Sometimes there is bigger storm within leading to rain of tears.<br />

This movie takes you through an amazing physiological journey of a person - Will Hunting(Matt Damon), who has to figure out whether to follow the thing in which he is a good at or just stop caring about it as he is not interested in the same. Will is a genius in mathematics, the most complex problems are easy for his mind, but he is just not interested to be in the academics and teaching sort of lifestyle. There is this mathematics professor who identifies the genius in him & persistently tries to get him into the world of mathematics, to make him an achiever. He leads him to have counselling sessions with his friend Sean Maguire(Robin Williams), who in the end convinces to just follow his heart as this is what makes him happy. The movie ends in great friendship between Will & Sean, with Will deciding once and for ever that he just doesn't care to move away from the thing in which he is good at. He learns to take a risk & love someone as he has not dared to do the same ever. This movie has a lot of great memorable quotes & that scene in the park where Sean leaves Will speechless is just priceless wisdom. </div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: justify;"> This is a great & extreme story of letting go. Letting go of things which are embraced by normal people. After Chris graduates, he leaves behind parents, money etc and hitchhikes to be amidst nature. He takes a trip lasting his lifetime, never to return back home. He lives off the land, he goes sailing on long river, to reach Alaska. This movie has some great quotes too. Of course its painful for his parents & near & dear ones to accept the fact that Chris is gone forever, but its a fact they have to live with if not accept it completely. Chris just aspired freedom from normal routine of life, freedom from criticism & trying to impress the society, giving himself the joy of experiencing new things & travel adventure as long as he could. Chris dies at the end but he lives a life he desired.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with a purpose to shine for now and forever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let me be your comfort in pain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let me be the guiding light</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let me be someone so close to your heart</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for the body may not be one but our souls were never apart</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I promised flowers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">purple, pink and lavender</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh I love you so much my dear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let me be bouquet of love at your doorstep</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">just for today</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">for tomorrow I'll return with more splendid colors of love my dear </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I can make out the tear on your cheek in the rain</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Is there anything I can make to reduce the pain ?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">coz all I have to say is making you feel more attached</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">life is sometimes about moving on and getting detached.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoy the future</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">as much as I loved being with you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">remember the moment when we saw</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">all night long, the stars shine and shine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">more intoxicating than the best wine</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am sorry for leaving you this way</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I know you don't need my apology</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">but do take it anyway</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let your life be filled with more colors than ever</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">let your life be filled with more love than before</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">coz in the end perhaps what matter is only the moments</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">which made our lives so special together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">nothing is everlasting pain, fame or our name</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">but let me be clear</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">life is not something which has ends</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's something filled with moments </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">which reveal I love you forever</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Honestly speaking, this poem is inspired from movie P.S I love you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">we see a movie, enjoy & learn so many things but foeget about it. later when we watch it after couple of years, we realize there are so many angles & perspectives which we really appreciate & there are handful of such wonderfully made movies.

The innovative ideas of today are the foundation for a better society of tomorrow. I think the healthcare sector in India is still much neglected one & needs much focus, attention & dedicated hard work to develop & more importantly to sustain the development. The aim should be to make the basic health care affordable & available to the masses. At least the routine checks must be done to warn about likelihood of major diseases. Many instruments are imported from abroad making healthcare expensive as there is a cost involved in employing skilled staff to operate the same & maintenance of the machine itself. The various medical institutes should encourage & create awareness of the challenges involved in the medical instrumentation domain. They must go visit the good engineering colleges & inspire students to take up projects which can make the low cost version of the imported machines locally. Design & implementation challenges will motivate the students to come up with innovative ideas. If the idea is really good & valuable then the project can be funded in the long term to design an affordable health check device. As part of corporate social responsibility initiatives by IT companies, employees can be encouraged to contribute for such a project. At least few of them will be interested to contribute to the software & hardware designs in their spare time. Similar to a device which can detect one disease or symptoms shown in video for anaemia, there is a need to make a single device which can detect a variety of diseases. Electronics students, Software companies & medical institutes can collaborate to make such a device. Thus this community initiative aimed at specific thing will lead to development & maintenance of such a device. Govt can make it a policy to supply to the govt hospitals in remote areas where diagnosis & testing facilities are poor. If the device becomes a hit, then it can be mass produced to be used by public as well. The device must be robost & user friendly & able to diagnose the conditions of disease for which the symptoms are not prominent. Even nurses must be able to operate the same. Call it "Doctor IC" basically an All in One device. It must be able to monitor, diagnose, test the samples taken etc. say for eg for BP monitoring, heart beats, run basic blood tests etc<br />

About the low budget house, probably one can approach the CREDAI, which is the regulatory body for real estate companies. Some builders may be interested in coming up with innovative solutions for low budget houses. Taking Karnataka as example, in metros like Bangalore its a big challenge to provide low cost housing for masses, but the construction companies can try out such a project in Tier-2 cities like Hubli, Mangalore, Davangere etc, where there may be people in lower middle class and slums who may be able to pay & afford for such a low budget house. In highly populated areas, constructing a small one floor house is a challenge, so why not construct couple of floors more. The bottom most floor should be strong enough to support the top floors in terms of area materials used etc. The upper floors can be less stronger than the floor below it, but strong enough to provide sufficient protection to human life & property inside. The key here is to go vertical otherwise one needs to locate such projects outside the city. Placing a project outside city will bring commute challenges for people daily in cities like bangalore where ease of commute is still a dream, with the ongoing slow metro work.<br />

Tring-Tring, the phone rang.<br />

I answered in desperation. 'Who is it?' asked the voice.<br />
I began to wonder Who am I? I didn't know or remember my name or myself.<br />
Have I lost my memory? Have I become insane? were questions popping in my mind. Just when I was stuck in this weird feeling, I woke up!<br />
<br />
P.S: I'll never know who was the person who called in my dream !<br />

India is on the verge of becoming a smart phone superpower. In few years smart phones would become more & more economical & make into hands of most of the Indians. Different people will use different apps based on their profession passion, hobby, day to day living, but surely everyone needs to connect with their family & friends anyway. So there needs to be a most economical method of information exchange quickly at least for small text messages like I reached office, on way to home etc. Sometimes we can do away with full duplex communication, isn't it ? This is where the currently competing IM's like WeChat, WhatsApp, gtalk/hangout, FB chat come into picture & really serve this purpose well. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In some countries in past & even now I suppose, like minded people like scholars, philosophers or so would hang out in small groups near a river or pub & discuss various ideas. This would enrich their knowledge in their respective fields, solve problems, make progress on a particular stuck topic. This is a great approach for creating community for working towards new ideas & achieving new frontiers in science technology or any other domain. This kind of unofficial meetings really help rather than closed room meetings which bind you to rules of an organization. Free thinking & connecting with the community can make faster discoveries & inventions. </div>
<div>
If I could connect with five or more people in the past, then I would connect with the great physicists like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, Paul Dirac, Edwin Hubble etc. What a wonderful opportunity to learn new discoveries happening. There was so much physics happening those days. So may wonderful discoveries. It's the ideas which intrigue me rather than the end results i.e. the journey towards the end result is more fun rather than the end result itself. Besides the best teachers like Feynman etc could reach towards a larger set of audience if a video/voice chat was available at that time. If people like Einstein, Feynman, Dirac could create a community in which the public could be included, then the society would be more open minded to fund these scientific experiments going on. I suppose if mobiles with 3G internet speed & chat/audio video features were available that time, then all could come together for a casual meet from the comfort of their homes itself. Even today, we can have a cloud of like minded people discussing on various topics. People could join in in some community & discuss , ask questions get answers etc using a IM instantly.<br />

We are a group of Amateur Astronomers from Bangalore from a community called BAS- Bangalore Astronomical Society, a non-profit Amateur astronomy organization aimed at popularizing astronomy both as a science & a hobby. Such IM's & group chats can help people getting updates about something interesting events to watch out in sky for instance. Say a halo is visible around the sun, moon. Just drop a message to the group chat already created. It would reach to say 100 people. Some of them who may be interested in photography will grab a camera to capture the event. Some of them may grab their telescopes to view the Jupiter near moon or events like that. People can ask questions & get answers instantly.<br />
Coming from fiction to reality, my friends are my inspiration, they are my Einstein, Feynman etc. So a community can be created & nurtured & everyone learns in the process. It would be very nice to get a google hangout kind of experience on mobile phone with IM as well with the feature to turn ON/OFF video feed as that determines the data downloaded. there is a lot of potential for the IM's in advertising domain as well apart from the above topic. All the best WeChat. I will look forward to flock together bringing like minded people connected through WeChat. </div>

<br />
Today we live in a fast growing technology, where a kid sees alphabets first on keyboard, learns to type instead of holding a pencil to write.On a happy occasion they don't expect new clothes anymore, buying new gadgets is their only interest.Modernization is not only affecting the way of living but also importantly health care.<br />
Gone are the days, where patients waited in long queue,so long that their symptoms would worsen waiting in the queue. The doc just records the symptoms in computer and keeps a record of every visit of the patient.As soon as one sits in front of doctor, unlike old days,you just find that questions asked by doctors are less,instead,they connect digital apparatus which beeps the BP and heart rate,another beeps the body temperature.<br />
While some deadly disease are being treated, research is on to kill other disease before they kill lives.Now-a-days all surgeries are less painful and no more long healing process.Each and every organ is treated by that specialized doctor.If you don't find the concerned person, no worries, he can be contacted over internet for your treatment.<br />
No matter how modern is the health care,there is still the lack of modern methods to touch the lives of poor people.While people spend for the treatment of their appearance, there are many unfortunate lives, who cant afford for the treatment of their basic sustenance.<br />

The woman on the platform 10<br />
<br />
Ananth was almost sleep, his eyes too exhausted closed in by themselves. He was feeling the soothing cool breeze & his head was resting against the train window, while the train silently made a pass through the villages. He was returning from exam duty from another city where he was assigned for a few days as examiner. He saw a station approaching. It was a small village with lush green fields everywhere. He saw a women turned backwards. She was looking at some advertisement so keenly that she never turned her back. Somehow this scene of woman at platform 2 stuck in his mind. He grasped onto this mental picture trying to decode it desperately, trying to comprehend the strange feelings associated with this picture. He was just wondering whether he knew the girl he saw there or more importantly was wondering whether he was actually sleeping or dreaming. The train moved on & Ananth felt asleep. He felt kind of deja-vu feeling when he woke up after sometime & somehow he couldn’t get over the familiarity feeling with the platform 2 & the woman he saw. <br />
He was still confused whether it was a dream or real scene. He had a strange feeling that he had been before to that place, the station or known that women. He told his wife Akansha over dinner that night that he had this strange encounter of being familiar with the platform 2 of a particular village station or known that girl standing there with back turned towards him. Akansha asked whether he had been to that village before which he recollects. Akansha told on the lighter side that this may have been your previous lifetime. Years passed after this incident where Ananth had forgotten about this when one fine day while cleaning the store room, Akansha jumped with joy as she had found the childhood paintings. She was so excited to see them after many years. She called Ananth & started showing them one by one. They started looking at the pics. Suddenly they came across a painting of a woman standing on the platform with the number 2. A shock ran though Ananth’s body due the striking similarity between the painting & the scene he recollected while travelling some years back. The scene I was telling you some years back...you remember I was returning in train & an mental image had stuck my mind of this woman on platform 2. I tried hard to recollect who that might be or what it meant. Akansha also had forgotten the context when she had made this painting. Was it for a competition, or exam or just she had made it. It was from her childhood. Akansha said probably I may have thought of a theme of train & platform & women waiting for the train or waiting for someone arriving at the station. They thought about it for a long time trying hard to recollect what that scenes & the painting meant to them. How can two persons have a strange feeling, a sort of connected familiarity about a similar thing? Later years passed they had discussed this with their friends & they got the opinion that this may be merely a coincidence where two people experienced & somehow trying to connect the dots, which when connected may mean just nothing.<br />
<br />
Ananth was a professor of physics, he believed in reason & logic & such things as last lifetime etc just were outside his scope of belief. Akansha had studied history, but chose to do social work after their marriage & drawing, painting were her hobbies. One day at breakfast Ananth was checking their daughter’s essay about an abstract concept. She had chosen soul & she weaved a story with concept that souls are connected beyond time & space & they will be united in the lifetime as they were in the last or the next. Ananth asked Akansha to check the same about this striking similarity with their déjà vu experience. Akansha said this can’t be our story as we met in third year of our college remember & not in any train station or so? They got to know each other in third year of college & soon it turned into love & marriage. But wait a second did you arrive to join the hostel a day before the college joining date. Ananth exclaimed yes I came the day before to joining the hostel. So it’s quite possible that we may have seen each other at platform 10 that day. They felt like they were connecting the dots their déjà vu experience & started making sense after many years. Ananth said the platform he saw while travelling was two & not any other number as it was a village & hardly two platforms. They checked & found that the train coming from Akansha’s home town to the city where they finished their graduation was 10. They impatiently tried to figure out the relation between the platform 10 & Platform 2. Their daughter who was good at math said 10 is binary 2.<br />
<br />
Ananth concluded the essay telling if we keenly observe the events happenings in the world, there may be a connection between all things, natural & unnatural happening around us. Some things live beyond time & space. They told about this interesting observation to their friends at dinner that night. But they all discussed about it, they couldn't prove or disprove anything as this really did not matter to them in anyway. Ananth desperately wondered whether the woman in platform 2 was Akansha in last lifetime. Whether the woman in platform 2 & platform 10 were the same but probably different lifetimes? <br />

Disclaimer: All the characters in the story are fictional & any resemblance with reality is just a coincidence.<br />

<br />
<br />
I am in your thought<br />
I am in your breadth<br />
I am in your every beat the heart takes<br />
<br />
I am in your life<br />
I am in your moments<br />
I am in every page the destiny unfolds<br />
<br />
I am in your smile<br />
I am in your tear<br />
I am with you here and always<br />
<br />
Just like a shadow following you...<br />
like a mystery surrounding you<br />
let the magic of life sparkle as always<br />
let the beauty of a forgotten moment<br />
take your breath away as before<br />
<br />
I may not be seen, heard or touched<br />
but I will be there for you<br />
you can feel me around,<br />
when you need me the most and otherwise<br />
till the end of this lifetime and the next<br />
<br />
let my presence not go in vain,<br />
coz I am there to guide you in every step you take<br />
you need to move on in life<br />
coz that's the way life is meant to be<br />
to be grand in this moment and the next<br />
<br />
I feel, could have told you<br />
but waited for the time to be right<br />
but destiny always plays its magic trick<br />
<br />
// The kind and humble nature of the lover is reflected here,<br />
who calls magic trick, though destiny took his or her life away<br />
<br />
We may be none<br />
we may be someone<br />
we may be a star shining up above the sky<br />
we may be just a piece of glitter,<br />
with a purpose to shine for now and forever.<br />
<br />
let me be your comfort in pain<br />
let me be the pill which kills the pain<br />
let me be someone so close to your heart<br />
for the body may not be one but our souls were never apart <br />
<br />
I promised flowers<br />
purple, pink and lavender<br />
Oh I love you so much my dear<br />
let me be bouquet of love at your doorstep<br />
just for today<br />
for tomorrow I'll return with more colors of love my dear <br />
<br />
I can make out the tear on your cheek in the rain<br />
Is there anything I can make to reduce the pain ?<br />
coz all I have to say is making you feel more attached<br />
life is all about moving on and getting detached.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy the future<br />
as much as I loved being with you. <br />
remember the moment when we saw<br />
all night long, the stars shine and shine<br />
more intoxicating than the best wine<br />
<br />
I am sorry for leaving you this way<br />
I know you don't need my apology<br />
but do take it anyway<br />
<br />
Let your life be filled with more colors than ever<br />
let your life be filled with more love than before<br />
coz in the end perhaps what matter is only the moments<br />
which made our lives so special together.<br />
<br />
<br />
nothing is everlasting pain, fame or our name<br />
but let me be clear<br />
life is not something which starts & ends at main() {}<br />
Its something which ends at P.S. I love you<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Schools, kids
& even parents never take moral science class seriously, they just feel it’s
time pass period. One of the newly appointed young moral science teacher was enthusiastic
to bring about some change & asked this question to the kids : </span></div>
<span style="color: #006699; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #006699; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #006699; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">If I had the power to
change something, I would change….’.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #006699; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
One of the kid in rush to answer first said I would not
change anything as the word is perfect for me! </div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The teacher asked him Really? Do you think so? the kid admitted that he had not thought about
the topic in depth. There was a point he wanted to put forth. He said I would
change the salary of my house maid. She works really hard whole day, yet gets
just small amount as salary. My dad & mom work in office & they get
nice salaries. There must be equal salaries for all people.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Another kids said, If I had the power to change something, I
would change almost everything, starting form the way people think.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Give a chance to change, one said he would like to stop the
corruption in the country with a spell like Harry Potter. Another said he
wanted to preserve the forests, stop cutting trees. Then lot of honest &
straight form the heart ideas started pouring in.</div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Go green, all must go green, I want to change the whole
world to use electric cars, thereby reducing pollution. The kid from the last bench
wanted to invent a battery that would store a lot of energy & this would
bring a revolution in the ever increasing power demands of the planet. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a kid whose father was a bus conductor, he said, i
dont know my dad always says that all the people from must bring the
change. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
The teacher laughingly said yes that’s a great quote : Although your dad meant was
to give the change for the ticket amount, but we can take a lot back home from
this wonderful quote. </div>

Everyone of us may have enjoyed the on-bench period some time or the other in our professional lives. Unlike the class room on-bench which usually reminds us of the punishment – ‘stand up on the bench’, the corporate on-bench experience will be totally cool, where you will be paid for doing nothing. You don’t learn technical things as you assume this period is your reward after studying technical things for almost 15 plus years in your life & it makes sense that you relax & unwind a bit coz later in life company expects a whole lot of things from you & you will become busy with all sort of things in professional & also personal life. <br />
<br />
Usually IT giants are supposed to maintain certain percentage of resources i.e people (resources & people are synonyms when it comes to software industry, monitor, mouse, keyboard, C resource, C++ resource, java resource are all one & the same) in free pool or popularly known as the on-bench. After graduating from college & going through perhaps a regressive training process & exams finally the wait is over to start enjoying life on a new level with your income. When I was placed on–bench in my first job after training for couple of months, I recall sometimes the moments & seriously miss the same. We were a huge batch of fresher’s from various colleges from all corners of India, about to be allocated to upcoming projects. Well people from all states come together in training, the sessions & exams binds us well, cursing or perhaps appreciating the trainers sometimes as well. So we feel like birds with same feathers, flocking well. Sometimes the library, canteen benches became full & we had to roam around the campus wondering some manager may call us, just like the king calls his army in the time of war. Apparently all the project managers were busy in their work & no one bothered to ask us for more than a month. When you get paid for doing nothing, you feel the bliss of life. Its really amazing how various kinds of personalities come together to spend the free time together. There was a guy who had abundant knowledge in all things: we called encyclopedia. He used to tell a lot of stories, then another told about his big family business of chain of shops they owned back in their hometown. He treated me like Forrest Gump & apparently I acquired all the knowledge to start my own shop like his & really felt like doing this at later stage in life. There was this guy who was studying already for entrance exams for higher studies. He offered tips for higher studies & concluded that all software jobs are the same, Apparently he would join a bit more sophisticated software job after his higher education. There was a girl who used to ask the silliest questions in training & well as later on–bench in the most sophisticated English. Couple of people even fell in love finding their soul mates since they had so much time for each other talking about even the smallest things, smallest likes & dislikes etc, probably never again in life would they have so much time for each other. Then there was this girl who once started talking never stopped talking without giving even a chance for others to speak...people would just get up & go away...she didn’t mind just following them to finish her never ending stories. <br />
There are so many things that people can do when on-bench like play Antakshari repeatedly, celebrate friend’s birthday at nearby hotels frequently, try out all the eateries in & around campus, sleep in dormitory. This is actually a whole lot of fun which you definitely deserve actually after studying many years. Unlike the normal movie story ends : Then the project allocation happens & all work happily ever after, we departed with the promise that we shall assemble at the same canteen bench regularly, but we knew that time would never come as we have moved quite far in our own directions, in life.<br />

An ant had lost his way. Apparently he was too cool to follow the line ahead of him, singing under the hot sun, in winter. He wandered & wandered, but all the places around seemed the same. He began to worry about never reaching home also realized that his family & friends would be equally worried too as the dark night came to threaten. He found a weird looking bug with giant legs, politely asked for directions to its home describing the brown long anthill, but the bug knew nothing. The bug told him to hop on him & he would run around faster so that they can find the anthill soon. It was getting darker & they were loosing sight. They met a firefly & requested to light their path in their search. The firefly flew illuminating the path & bug ran with ant on its back as fast as it could. Finally they found the anthill & the ant told a million thanks for helping it reach safely. At home, it's friends & relatives felt a sigh of relief that it has returned safely. The ant's mother thanked the strangers in the night for bringing her son back to home. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The Physiatrist told this story to a new batch of people at a rehab center for drugs & told this was the story of the ant, just think of yourself as ant for a while & slammed the door behind him.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">P.S : No matter how lost you are in your life, there are always some angels to guide your way to normalcy. Well there can be some signs or may be stranger who may come to our rescue, to rescue us from the depths of hell to state where we can be at peace with ourselves. May be god sends them to help you find your way back home.<br />

<br />
Well, there can be anything or nothing in a name, but I suppose there is a lot that can be revealed from a username & passwords of people. When there can be handwriting analysis etc, I wonder why we don't have username/password analysis. There is certainly a lot of insight that can be obtained from the same. usually one keeps the name of something unforgettable as password. On the lighter side, here is a collection of some of the same of characters from popular sitcoms to go first....<br />

Simple white khadi became his attire as his thoughts began to change with the ongoing freedom struggle. He started to think independently & stood for what is right. He was inspired by Gandhi, Nehru, Bhagat singh. He couldn't make up his mind whether ahimsa was the right path, but attended all the rallies, processions, felt great walking briskly behind the half-naked fakir.<br />
