How To Build A Corruption Free India | How To Curb Indian Corruption

2011-11-10T19:37:00.001-08:00

Is it possible to curb corruption from India? Can one Anna Hazare and his Jan Lokpal Bill make much difference in the way things work in India? Many people say no to both the above questions. But, I say yes. Let us not forget that we live in a land where morality is held at a very high position. Morality cannot be taught, it has to be imbibed. It is absolutely possible to build a corruption-free India and today we will speak of the various ways through which we, the youth, can make India a better corruption free country.

We all know how many alcohol bottles are unloaded during election times for winning the elections. Fact is fact and we know it very well. This is the first sign of corruption entering into the nation. We the people have made ourselves so cheap that we get our country sold for a bottle of alcohol! What we do not see is: for every bottle of alcohol they get thousands of such bottles once they get into power. Next greatest thing which has troubled India is the shocking Swiss bank account statements. The reason of poverty in every nation is simple: rich keeps on getting richer and poor keeps on getting poorer. We never realize that we the middle-men are paying for every Rupee a politician eats. When I see Indian politics I see only robbers sitting on the top thrones. I do not name anybody in particular but all in general. There is not a single politician like Lal Bahaddur Shastri in the present day Indian politics.

Corruption can be curbed if the normal man becomes sensitive. Politicians robbing the country has become a everyday news of our daily life. The news of corruption has become so casual that everyone takes corruption for granted. When Dharma gets established it becomes difficult for corruption to survive. When the feeling of patriotism rises a Mahatma is born in every person. And when the nation is completely filled with such Mahatmas corruption finds it difficult to survive. People think that it is impossible to kill corruption but I will convince everyone by the end of this article that corruption can be completely stopped.

The higher chairs of Indian politics are always occupied by people of power. As a general thumb rule a person with power always strives for getting more powerful. The wants of a person are never satisfied. Let us say that there is a politician who has 10Crore Rupees in his Bank. When he sees that others have looted much more money than him, the feeling of jealousy comes up and in order to satisfy his ego he will eat more money. The most interesting thing is: he does not use any of this money for his family. This is the money which comes from politics and goes again to politics when the next election comes. A politician thinks that he is trying to make his future secure. But, the future of a corrupt Politician is never secure. The thought of corruption and fear of getting exposed are always eating up his brain. A politician has so much of external security with him but internally he is never much secure. I would salute the Politician who will take the first bold step and remove all the money from his Swiss Bank account and give it back to the Nation.

There is one more thing which has boosted corruption: all good politicians are killed by the terrorists. It is better to die like a good politician than to die like a corrupt politician. When money plays its role people never think about spirituality. We live on this earth. When we die we live in some other world. If we are righteous on Earth we will have to face hard times on Earth as long as we live is always true. If we are not righteous we enjoy as long as we are on Earth and both the above facts are completely true. But, what after death? When a person knows about hell and the tortures of Hell believe me no man on Earth will ever think of doing one single sin. The wrath of God helps us to face our mistakes and correct them. The one who is righteous and who suffers on Earth is said to get all the pleasures of Heaven in his after-life.

One of the greatest ways for curbing corruption is the inner-transformation. We have to respect the fact that evolution does not happen all by itself. The theory of relativity did not just evolve. It was in existence since a very long time. A person desperately searched for its facts and the day when he became completely tired and was bathing in a tub without thinking about anything, the Theory of Relativity flashed in his head from the Torsion area. Who gives us this thinking? Humans have understood everything about Science but they have not understood the 'how' part of birth and death. For killing corruption it is very important for a person to know that money is not at all necessary to live a happy life. People who have gathered hell a lot of money never find peace in their life. The joy of having lot of money only comes when it is evenly distributed. Else, a rich man is always afraid of someone coming and robbing all his money.

With inner transformation only people will understand that money is a very small part of life. As Buddha says: "When you know Thy Self, you will get immersed in joy and happiness. When your mind will be peacefully immersed in the joy of Self all other impure desires will drop out." The founder of Sahaja Yoga H.S.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi states: "A big inner revolution is taking place. When people will become the Spirit they will stop doing wrong things automatically. I never tell anybody to stop drinking or smoking. Once they come to know that they are the Spirit the enlightenment comes in and people just stop doing things which are wrong. Drug addicts have overnight given away drugs, smoking, alcohol and all other things which are harmful for health." I have seen people getting transformed through Sahaja Yoga with my very own eyes.

We are living in a corrupt India but our next generation should not. 'Let us stop voting for the politicians' can never be a solution. Let the Government work like a crystal clear glass through which people can see very clearly the working of the Government. We the common man are suffering due to the corruption of the Politicians. The rate of every essential commodity is simply rising so high that people are finding it very difficult to live in this world. In order to curb corruption the Politicians will have to remember the slogan "of the people, for the people, and, by the people". Today's politics has the same mantra with the only difference that people is replaced with Politicians.

The Government should show the accounts and should also make sure that every Rupee spent on a project reaches its purpose and not the stomachs of all these hungry Politicians. The Nation should be ruled by ambitious youth, only then, youth power will make its purpose visible. The ruler of the Nation should be very simple and should have a very simple lifestyle and should earn only as much as is sufficient for a living. Till date I have seen only one such Politician and that is Lal Bahaddur Shastri. Shastriji used to get fifty Rupees for doing his duty. One day a man came and asked him for fifty Rupees and Shastriji said that he had saved no money and could not help him. Then, Shastriji's wife cam and gave Shastriji fifty Rupees to help his friend. When Shastriji cam to know that his wife used to save ten Rupees every month from his monthly salary, he went to his office and said to reduce his salary to forty Rupees per month! I am pretty sure that his wife was saving money even with that limited amount. Today I salute to that great man and pray that may such people again come to take care of India and not to rule India as the present politicians are doing. Let us all respect our freedom. Please use the comments section and do give your opinion on this subject and how corruption can be avoided and spread the link of this article throughout the internet to spread the awareness of curbing corruption in India.

Modern Technology Trends

2011-11-06T05:13:00.000-08:00

What has modern technology got for us and what is it preparing for us in the mere future? The present day technology is seeing very rapid changes. The technology is changing so fast that it is hard to guess what would this world become by the end of 2020. With seeing the progress of the modern Indians in the field of technology Dr. Abdul Kalam the former president of India stated that India would become a developed country by 2020! Then what else to speak about the overall changes in technology all over the world by the end of this decade?

Technology till 2010: We have had advanced mobiles and advanced computers. The modern laptops on every desk today are so technically advanced that they were just a dream a few years ago. Google has changed the way information was gathered two decades back. People no longer buy books. Most of them are freely available online (and are also easily available if for sale).

Technology after 2010: Amazon has also changed the way internet operates by bringing forth its Kindles. Tablet PC's are blooming all over the market. Mobile phones have disappeared all that we can see today are something which were once called as smart phones. With the advance in mobile phone technology Internet access is available in every pocket even in developing countries like India (even in the towns and villages of India)! With so many technical advancements what will be the future of technology!

Technology by the end of 2020: There will be a great change in the transport system. There will be no crowd in a single metro train. Metro trains will become faster smoother and much better than before. AI equipped cars will avoid any accident and will be cheaper than ever before. Mobiles with The help of highly advanced mobile technology will turn into full fledged super-computers. Internet will be super-fast and damn cheap. Cars will no longer run on petroleum (I am sure all the petroleum of the world will be over by then if the population of the world keeps on increasing at such a scale). No switches will be available for turning electrical equipment on or off. The operating systems will run on touch input or audio or video gesture input. Building a house will become faster than ever with the help of latest technical advancements in material science. Goggles will no longer be just goggles they will come embedded with a spy camera! Camera's will be embedded in every possible things. Scientists will have nothing left to work on (may be they may do a work on spirituality through highly sensitive technical gadgets to discover what happens when a person meditates. Technology will definitely develop so much as to prove the existence of God Almighty and His powers which governs the laws of the nature and this whole Universe.

7th Sense Movie Review

2011-11-06T04:18:00.000-08:00

7th Sense basically revolves around a basic concept of spirituality which makes complete sense. The movie has two different aspects. In the first part there is a very cool spiritual seeker Surya who accepts Buddha and does austere penances to get certain spiritual powers with which he can cure people and do martial art which is difficult to explain.

The second part of 7th sense has another Surya who is the modern generation youth and whose DNA approximately matches with the DNA of the previous Surya. Later on 7th Sense is more about Shruti Hassan and her research on Bodhi Dharma. The film has brought genetics into play and tries to explain the ABCD of genetics to the common man.

7th Sense has a superb beginning and a fantastic ending. All that is in between is just to keep the film going. But the beginning is so tempting that you should watch this film at least to take a glimpse of the spiritual geek Surya in the first half. History has it that there had been a few such Gurus in the ancient past but they never left their work behind because they did not want it to fall into wrong hands.

Overall 7th sense is an OK kind of movie. It is the beginning and the last fight which are very interesting. You will see flying cars and hypnotism in the film which makes the film interesting and the villain very very dangerous. 7th sense did not disappoint me. Shruthi Hassan has done her best and will not disappoint her father and the audience in the theater. 7th sense is at least a lot more better than Ra.One which looks like a movie made just because it was supposed to be made.

Ra.One Movie Disappoints The Indians

2011-11-05T22:25:00.000-07:00

For the first time when I saw the trailer of Ra.One movie I was very excited to see the movie. When I saw the movie I was wondering how to pass my time in the theater. All my friends were fast asleep and I never knew what can be done next.

The film is the most boring movie I have seen till date and has nothing innovative in it. The way the movie goes it cannot be even called as a sci-fi movie except for the first fifteen minutes where a demo of the forthcoming technology is shown which also does not look so practical.

The only possible thing which might make the audience a little happy is the jokes in the film. The film is supposed to be for kids and yet it contains such absurd jokes that even adults will find them difficult to digest. Better not to take children to the theater if you wanna see this film.

If you have no other thing to do on this earth and you are finding it difficult to go to sleep go to see Ra.One else wait till a better movie is released. You may also like to see a review of the film 7th sense.

Amazon Kindle Fire | Amazon's Best Tablet The Kindle Fire

2011-09-30T03:37:00.000-07:00

Amazon's Kindle fire will be making quick sale with the $199 price tag and is showing very good results for Amazon. The digital product selling giant has this time taken a big step and has introduced Amazon Kindle Fire which many claim is not a competition to the other tablet PC's. Amazon having a vast majority of online services claims that Kindle Fire differs in terms of the service that it allows Amazon to perform and is not a much of performance based Kindle. The features and the price tag of the Kindle Fire are really stunning and amazing.

True to its name, the Amazon Kindle Fire comes with a very great package which makes everyone tempted to buy one:

Amazon Kindle Fire has a great and amazing 7" touch screen which allows you to view the contents from wider angles in a hassle-free manner.
Amazon offers rich colored magazine through its tablet.
Kindle Fire runs on the Android platform but the stress is more on simplicity and the Amazon online shop.
The user interface is the most simple one and is very easy to use. You just need to swipe the screen to switch between different windows or applications.
As always, Amazon offers its great collection of 100,000 movies and TV shows through its Kindle Fire.
Kindle Fire runs on a fast dual-core processor. The processor is a little slow but Amazon has this time used a new Amazon Silk cloud-accelerated browser which uses a split browser design to enable cloud computing and make good and proper use of the processor thus speeding up the browsing process on its Amazon store.
There are many applications and games provided by the Kindle fire which can be used as per your need and tastes.
Not to forget the millions of books that will be available oline through the Amazon store. The best part is the availability of the free books which will be available on the Amazon store which includes the old classic books which are copyright free and allowed legal free download.
There is a free cloud storage technology used in the Kindle Fire. Kindle Fire has also eased the process of online bookmarking.
Whether you like it or not, Kindle Fire runs only on Wi-Fi, which also means no 3G on this device. The Kindle Fire is not the Android Tablet category. It will lack most of the functions that you expect from any normal Android Tablet.
Not to mention Amazon also has the biggest audio collection (17 million songs) online most of which will be for sale and easily available.
The better part of the news is: you can stream videos directly on this device from the Amazon store and also Amazon uses a different technology to track all the pages that you view (considering your privacy of course) and comes up with amazing browsing speed by analyzing the content of the page first and displaying most of the textual information as quickly as possible. Amazon also comes with the Whispersync technology to sync all your necessary data with other devices.
Kindle Fire comes with one year warranty, has a USB connector, and claims to give you 7 hours of battery life.

Why is the Amazon Kindle so cheap? The answer to this question lies in the marketing sector of Amazon. Yes, though the Kindle Fire boasts of a cheap Kindle which runs on the Android platform there are many things which make the Kindle a special product and also a special buy. As reported that screen of the Kindle Fire definitely works wonders and there are many other things behind the hood of this great tablet which Amazon has clearly stated. The tablet is built to make it convenient for Amazon to sell its products easily to its customers. The tablet has been specifically designed so that Amazon can find out the likes and dislikes of its tablet users and make things easy for them by listing out things loved by them on its first page.

That said, please do not be under the impression that the Kindle Fire is running on the Android platform. The Android part has been tweaked and made o different that it is impossible to say as to which games or applications it might support. The whole point lies in making the product cheap so that Amazon lovers can buy it to use the online Amazon site to buy products which the Kindle runs hassle free. The browser is also said to be built so that it can take care of your likes and dislikes by following and keeping a track of all that you browse on it. Some people are of the opinion that this kind of has some effect on the privacy of people surfing the web. Yet, Amazon claims it very clearly that they keep the fact in mind that the privacy of its Kindle Fire users should not be disturbed.

Coming to the ergonomics part the Kindle Fire is just great in terms of its performance though it runs a dual-core processor it has made every humble effort to keep the user interface as clean and neat as possible. The touch screen does good and responds well. Not just that but the screen is also very crisp and gives a very good display. The audio on the Kindle Fire is also good (taking its price into consideration). The body of the Kindle Fire will definitely make it last for a very long time. The battery back-up as reported is also worth the money we pay. For an Amazon lover the Kindle Fire is a must buy with the cheap price tag. For others who want a good tablet, they might want to take a look at the compromise and decide whether they can compromise with a few things on the tablet. People reading soft copies of books and who love to sleep and read books will find the Kindle Fire to be a great product. It looks very neat and also helps you to use it and view it in various angles which makes you feel very comfortable with a tablet. The biggest compromise on this product was its inability to run on 3G network! Amazon claims that the Kindle Fire runs only with a Wi-Fi internet connection. This one was a very bold step from Amazon for everyone does have a Wi-Fi connection and most people love the 3G connectivity so that they can stay connected on the go.

With all this offered Amazon warns its buyers that they are not buying a tablet, instead, they are buying a device which makes it simpler and faster for Amazon to display and sell its applications, books, videos or even TV shows throguh its Kindle Fire in an easy and convenient way which is very user friendly. And the price os Kindle fire makes it something very special if you visit the Amazon store every often. Amazon Kindle Fire is a good device for Amazon to serve its regular customers and to sell products which are many times as cheap as a few dollars. Amazon Kindle Fire is a great buy for $199.

Flipkart The Online Shopping Service

2011-09-28T05:39:00.000-07:00

Flipkart is a great service that allows you to do online shopping. The service is simply superb and great with so many credit cards being hacked on the internet, Fflipkart is the service which is more secure and also modern and technology oriented. All you have to do is log-in and the Flipkart cart is yours to buy as many items as you wish. The price that you will see will be so reasonable that you will praise it for its great interface and service.

Most of the sites online take cash and then deliver the item or they require you to pay cash after the delivery through credit cards online. Flipkart puts them all behind and goes for a more semi-manual service where there is a doorstep delivery and you pay for it after getting the item home to the delivery boy.

Flipkart has too many items in its list which includes books, mobiles and accessories, computers, cameras, games, movies, music, mp3 players, health care, home appliances and video. On top of this the rate is quite reasonable. Not just that but Flipkart also ensures you the home delivery with additional benefits of free home delivery if the cost of the product is more than rupees hundred!

I don't know how Flipkart manages it but its transport charges are limited to a very little amount which is included within the main amount. The rates are very reasonable and the service is just great. To the curious ones: the courier service used by Flipkart is BluDart which is also a great service supplying all the goods on time. Buy something from Flipkart and you will know what I am speaking about. I recently bought a pen drive which arrived two days after booking it online and am happy with the service of Flipkart online shopping.

2011-09-28T02:00:00.000-07:00

This time it is Amazon which is going to stir the news in the market by releasing its tablet PC of seven inches which is entitled as the Kindle fire. If you were an Amazon affiliate you would know how much Amazon tried to promote its tablet PC's all around the internet.

Amazon is known to be the bets place for buying books, music and also digital movies. The Kindle fire will simply make it even more easy for Amazon to sell its digital products which are in a great demand in the market. At just 260$ the kindle fire is definitely damn cheap and may also be quite low on features.

There are several things that you will be able to do with this great tool being released from Amazon: you will be able to read books, write notes, play games, listen to music, see videos and lot more. Amazon will release the Kindle Fire pretty soon. If I am not wrong the Kindle fire will contain many links embedded to its site spread throughout the interface thus getting free advertisement and also getting an increase in sales.

With the release of the Kindle Fire tablet PC from Amazon, Amazon us definitely looking forward for selling products and making huge profits. With so many digital products in its database, Amazon is just making sales of its digital products easier with the release of the low prices Kindle Fire which I hope does not fall short of additional features and disappoint Amazon lovers.

Is Desktop Better Or Laptop?

2011-09-28T01:17:00.000-07:00

When it comes to buying a computer, the question which troubles everyone during the modern times is: what is better a laptop or a desktop. A laptop is known for its shorter life yet compactness which gives you the power of a desktop right on your lap. A laptop can be used anywhere and can also be carried anywhere as per your wish. A desktop on the other hand has a better user interface and comes with accessories like keyboard and mouse and is definitely much cheaper than a laptop. Also there are a few very good laptop configurations in the market which have everything for everyone offered at a reasonable price.

The first thing which shall decide on the above question is: what do you need a computer for? If you are a student it is better to go for a desktop (once you join a company you will definitely get a laptop). The only advantage of a laptop over a desktop is the portability. So if portability is of much importance to you, better buy a laptop. But, in most of the cases it is better to buy a desktop. If there are very frequent power cuts in your area it is better to go for a laptop.

A laptop has a short life. If you do not buy the right one, you have over heating issues. A laptop is not meant for games. If you are a game enthusiast, I am sorry to say: a desktop is a much better option for playing games. Keyboard and mouse of desktop can be replaced, same is not the case with the laptops. Laptops are designed for people who need to carry reports and designs in their computer and alter them and attend meetings. People doing great company projects/ project managers also find a laptop very handy. A laptop does not have too man wires sticking around all the time and proving to be a nuisance as in the case of a desktop.

Desktop on the other hand cannot have overheating issues. But, a desktop needs maintenance which is not the case with the laptop hardware. Laptop need not be thrown once the overheating starts. It is much better to upgrade laptops and use the same if you love your laptop a lot. Laptop though portable does not allow you to keep it on your lap for a very long time. Taking all the issues into consideration the conclusion of the whole topic is: laptop is easier to use and carry around and is also much comfortable to use but has overheating issues and shorter lives, whereas desktops look good like robust power houses and need a little care and maintenance and can live for a very long time without the overheating problems.

New Curve 9360 From Blackberry Now In India

2011-09-28T01:02:00.000-07:00

Blackberry curve 9360 has arrived in India. It has got the same looks which gives it a full fledged QWERTY keyboard and the normal decent looks which suit a business phone. The price of the Blackberry Curve 9360 however has got something which may tempt you to grab this phone and start using its great features.

Research In Motion (RIM) has announced the price of this masterpiece smartphone to be around rupees 20,000. Curve 9360 features a 5 megapixel camera and supports upto 32 BG of external card memory. The phone is a simple bar phone and is not funky from any angle. This time the Curve 9360 from Blackberry is coming with a great QWERTY keypad which is appreciated by all when ti comes to the Blackberry business phones. Curve 9360 also comes with a 2.4 inch screen and lacks the touch interface.

Curve 9360 is good as a business phone and is also much cheap for smart phones of its category. Not to forget that Curve has always been a favorite with the Indians, but, with the same old looks the phone just does not steal the attention of the crowd as the other touch-screen mobiles from Apple and Android genre do.

With the Indians seeming to like touch-screen mobiles, the Android phones and the tpuch-input phones of Nokia are doing more than great in the Indian market. With recent advancement in technology people have developed a liking for the touch-input enabled phones as they promise a greater display and also a better user interface which the users just love to have on their phone.

iPhone 5 Releasing In October

2011-09-28T00:29:00.000-07:00

iPhone5 of Apple is all set to release in October. Much has been talked about and hyped about the Apple iPhone5 some of which are true and others not. This time Apple is blasting the phone with features that makes it nothing less than a full fledged computer. iPhone's have always topped the market and have always made the audience much keen about the next phone release. Let's hope that things do not go wrong this time as it had happened during the previously released iPhone 4 which had antenna issues.

The iPhone 5 will come with i OS 5. It has a dual core processor and it will come with 1GB RAM! I wonder if the next iPhone 6 version might even come with Microsoft windows installed on it. Expect a better and much smart and technical user interface. Media reporters have got the news that this phone will come with voice interface benefits. For more on the model features leaked see iPhone5 from TOI.

With so much of competition from Android Apple just keeps on getting better and better. iPhone is a very niche phone and performs the best in the Apple lovers' market. As far as security is concerned no one has ever been able to beat Apple. And need I say about the design and improvements that Apple brings with the release of every iPhone. iPhone 5 is supposed to be slimmer and faster than iPhone4 considering the ergonomics improvement of iPhones with the advancement of every version.

Increasing Internet Explorer Speed

2011-09-27T06:21:00.000-07:00

Internet explorer the default browser which comes bundles with Microsoft is known to be very slow while taking you on an internet ride. The only reason why people may possibly rely on Internet Explorer is because of the security issues. People running very slow packet internet connections are really fed up of this browser and stick to Mozilla or Chrome. With the release of IE9 Microsoft has changed the history of browsers for the first time and put Mozilla behind in terms of speed.

If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer try to update it. IE9 is only for Windows 7 users who have a valid copy of Windows 7 installed.
If you are unable to update the browser open the current version and go to Tools.
Select internet options.
Now go to the Advanced section.
Go to browsing section and disable the 'enable suggested sites' option. This option when enables finds news and other contents on the internet continuously thus decreasing your speed.
Disable the 'show http error messages'. This reduces the load on the processor.
Disable every option in the international section.
In multimedia section disable the 'enable automatic image re-sizing' option. This also increases the browsing speed. Generally the data is already present it is just that the computer uses calculations and tries to make the webpage best fit in the browser by trying different settings to ensure the best view to be enabled.
Now go to the security section. This is one section which makes it so late to deliver the webpage. The only three important options to be checked are SSL, TLS and the memory protection option. Apart from this disable all other protection. When the windows firewall is on you need not worry much about the security options. Moreover you are never secure even with these options turned on. They just make it difficult to the hacker to hack your system. But with firewall definitely there is no chance that someone hacks into the data of your computer.

Now close the browser and restart it. This once done increases the speed of the Internet Explorer which is much considerably observable on the slower as well as faster connections.

Increase the speed of Mozilla Firefox browser.
Tweak control panel to increase internet connection speed.

How To Increase Speed Of Mozilla Firefox

2011-09-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

Mozilla Firefox being a favorite browser for many internet users, there are a few tweaks that you can do to your browser to make it connect to the internet much faster than the normal speed. The following tweaks can be done by any person who is naive to technology and computers. A few technical tweaks can make your browser faster than ever and make your downloads quicker thus saving much of your time.

Type 'about:config' in your browser.
Press the 'I will be careful I promise' button.
Type network, go to network buffer cache size and increase its value (you can increase the value more than the supposed limit, the computer will simply limit it to the maximum that it is being programmed for).
Scroll down to find max-connection and increase the values of all the connections.
Set pipelining to true.
Increase the value of pipelining max-requests.
You may also increase the buffer and cache size (which also help in boosting the internet speed).

That's it now close your browser and restart it to find a new browser working faster than before. The speed increase is not much visible if you are using faster networks. But if you are two people using the same Wi-Fi connection you will definitely observe the difference.

Happy Birthday Google

2011-09-27T02:55:00.000-07:00

Google is the birthday boy who has just turned 13 today and has entered into his teenage. This search engine just changed the whole world and did it so stunningly that it made 'Google it up' a common phrase throughout the world for searching anything using this search engine giant. The concept of Google and go-ogling will live as long as the world lives for it makes the life of every person around the world a major bliss.

If it were not for this Google, internet would not see its future as it is today. Want to find your lost relative just use Google and you will have a very good chance of finding him on a social networking platform or on any other government related site. Internet became a place of fun with Google. To me Google is the bet social networking site which has bookmarked the best and closely related sites throughout the world to make things happier for its customers.

There are many products that Mr. Google introduced to the market and failed to make a significant impact. But, that never stopped Google from taking new innovative stuffs and keeping the people working in its Google labs busy all the time. The search engine giant is also praised by many web site publishers for it brings traffic to their site and keeps their bank accounts filled with lot of money. Rank first in Google for any keyword and you will know how blessed you are to have this search engine giant always at your fingertips

Though Google faced a few problems from people all the time criticizing it, as a whole the search engine giant is all the time praised by people for helping them find technical solution to fix computers and do projects with all the search results of Google. The algorithms of the Google search engine are very specific and is completely technology oriented. Google is the trend of the modern times and every person is helpless when he does not have this tool handy and nearby him all the time. Happy birthday Google.

Brio The First New Compact Car Of Divali Season

2011-09-27T02:32:00.000-07:00

Honda has decided to take the bang and release its new compact and price effective car Brio for a cost of 4 to 5 lakh rupees. The car looks pretty good and is a good step taken in the Indian market for Diwali is the festival which brings new material to the house of the Indians. Brio is compact and is targeted towards the common man and competed with the low cost compact cars segment of other companies.

Brio comes in four models to suit everyone's needs. The car companies are expecting an increase in sales and market hold with the upcoming festival seasons of Diwali and Dasara. To add to the spices there is a total of eight new vehicle releases in this mega festival season. There are two new two wheeler vehicles and six other new cars yet to be released in the Indian market.

With the festival season coming up the time is best for most of the companies to release their new products as the sale during these times always reaches at its peak. The market is pretty unstable and is fluctuating between highs and lows with lot of other things also taking place. With the increase in the cost of petrol I wonder if the car sales of Brio might be hampered. Cost of gold is also fluctuating between highs and lows.

Lets wish best luck to Honda for the release of its new car the Brio which I am sure will show a good peak in the sales during the festival period. All the Engineers have put in good efforts to bring out the best of the car. Brio car specifications are very promising with a top speed of 160kmph and a mileage of 18kmpl on highway. For more specific car specifications list refer to Brio Car Specifications.

Dookudu | Mahesh Babu's Dookudu A Great Success

2011-09-26T07:34:00.000-07:00

Dookudu the recent released film featuring Mahesh Babu one of the best actors of the Telugu Film Industry has worked wonders for the great actor and also his fans. Dookudu was making great airs and was also creating much enthusiasm among the Telugu film lovers crowd. Dookudu has again helped Mahesh Babu to dominate the Telugu film industry with a great storm which is already on the verge of surpassing the commercial success of the best Ram Charan Teja film 'Magadheera'.

The first day release of Dookudu brought in a whooping 12 crores to the producers with Magadheera on the other hand making nearly around 32 crores in the first week. Mahesh Babu fans are pretty much sure that the commercial success of this action packed comedy film will surpass that of all the other previous films of the Telugu film industry.

Though Mahesh Babu has acted in several hit films before one of his greatest film releases which shook the grounds of the Telugu Film Industry was Pokiri. Pokiri has created a great standing for this great actor and is a well known film among his fans. Dookudu is also making a great change in the life of this great celebrity but might not shake the image of the previous film which was a favorite among all the Telugu Film lovers.

Dookudu though a very good film may not make a big impact on the all time hit film Pokiri. Many may say that both the films are best in their own categories, but, Mahesh Babu has also had many other successes with action come comedy films one of them also being Athudu. Dookudu has made Mahesh Babu regain the image of a good actor and an action packed film hero. I wish all success to Mahesh Babu and his film Dookudu.

SMS | Short Messaging Service

2011-09-25T23:11:00.000-07:00

SMS is a great way for every mobile holder to greet and communicate with his friends. The short messaging service abbreviated as SMS has become a favorite among the teens of today. It isn't uncommon to see teenagers sitting in the middle of the classroom and chatting with someone using the SMS service. Most of the networks avail the 100 to 150 messages free per day service which is also insufficient for a few teens.

SMS being a great boon is also becoming a great bane of the day which is being misused by many people. Girls are the targets who have a very tough time filtering the messages of the people. Some mobiles give you thr option of filtering the messages whereas some don't. There are certain softwares which help filter the messages on the basis of the phone number from which the message was sent. Blank SMS, meaningless messages sent to disturb girls and messages having flirting intentions behind them are many a times a great headache to girls and boys equally.

With all this going on and after seeing the way the SMS service is becoming a bane for humanity, the mobile companies are looking forward to cutting short the number of free messages per day to 100 messages as per the regulations of TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India). Using a mobile phone for chatting while a class lecture is going on is neither a good option nor a good attitude. With all these things going around I am looking forward for a more sensible and technical service where a person gets the options in his mobile to block or receive messages from any particular mobile number.

SMS messaging service should become more smart and should include options in the main network of the receivers whether they want to block the messages from that number or not. with so many innovations and technology reaching a point where activating such a service is never a big headache I think the mobile network companies are just fooling around and busy counting the money with no social responsibility outlook. Hope the mobile companies notice this SMS menace and also make their SMS messaging service by considering the privacy of people much better and joy giving.

Best Laptop Configuration

2011-09-19T00:50:00.000-07:00

How to decide the best laptop configuration. With a few steps you will know the best configuration which is required for your laptop. There are certain things that you need to decide for yourself like whether your laptop configuration will need a graphics card or not.

The first thing that you need in your laptop: a processor. The best confiuration for a processor is the i5 which is more balanced. It is only the numbers which increase and not the configuration. You will not be able to find out the difference between a i3 and i7 processor even while playing games! The minimum number of frames that are required to form a video is 10. s0 frames per second gives you a standard crisp and good video disply anything above it is just a show off and does not make much difference to the viewer. For our tasks we do not need i7 unless we play very big games which are best played on a desktop.

Coming to the graphics card: a decent laptop configuration will exclude a graphics card and try to use the internal graphics hardware. A graphics card generally heats the processor and makes the life of a laptop very short. Laptops are office accessories and should and must be used the most for creating quick and fast documents and are meant to be used for a very short period of time. Gaming laptops also have overheating issues which one cannot complain about. The more you use the graphics feature of a laptop more will it get heated and the faster will it become useless. If you really want to have a graphics card 1GB memory is more than enough. Anything more than that is never used by the programs even if available. Inspiron laptops have an internal video graphics accelerator which shares a GB of RAM to give you a good graphics output. If your laptop has such features there is no need for an additional GPU.

A good laptop configuration should yield you at least 2.30 hours of power backup. Anything less than that is not negotiable. Battery will give you higher backup provided you do not have a graphics card which gives you higher performance.

A 500GB hard disk drive can store plenty of things half of which will be never used by you. There is no need to go for higher capacity drives unless you want to fill your laptop with more than 450 high quality films. You never get the time to listen to even 1GB music for your whole life.

SRS surround sound is always an added benefit for watching movies and listening to your favorite music. RAM of 4GB is never used by your system. Even the computer magazines will tell you that only 3GB of the ram is used by your computer with the heaviest of programs running on it. You can open 10 application on a computer having 512 MB RAM! Anything above 6GB is a waste of money and resources and never really helps you.

Dell gives you the advantage of having bigger touch-pads. Touch-pads are good to use when they are larger in size. A laptop should have at least 4 USB ports, 1LAN port, HDMI port, SATA port and another port for connecting to external video display devices like monitor or projector. Wi-Fi is a must for every laptop. A laptop without Wi-Fi is no laptop at all.

Laptop with pre-installed DOS saves you some money. You may install the OS later. But, machines with pre-installed OS comes with the added benefit of a motherboard CD. In the other case you need to individually download the motherboard CD and use its contents after burning it to a disc.

This is the best laptop configuration I can think of anything more than this is never really used by laptop users. Even hardcore gamers do not use the above configuration to its fullest extent. Every PC magazine also knows and suggests this to be the best laptop configuration for laptop users.

Swiss Knifes

2011-09-18T23:58:00.000-07:00

Swiss knifes are loved by one and all. The first time I saw one I really wished I had one. It took me a half day hunger strike to buy my first Swiss knife. And my family was really happy once it came to know of the different things one could do with it.

Opening a cover, removing a bottle cork, cutting things, opening Coke bottle steel caps, tearing things, trimming trees are just a few important things that a Swiss knife can do. Any work you name it and you will find the Swiss knife very useful. A Swiss knife also has a screw driver, a nail filing tool and also a cutting player is some cases.

If you go out for a picnic a Swiss knife is a must have accessory. there are so many things which can be done very easily with the help of this cute and short handy tool which slides into your pocket very easily. Swiss knife is a must have for every youngster. To me the Swiss knife also plays the role of a key bunch.

Believe it or not a Swiss knife can alone be used for repairing any computer. It also has a star screw driver which can deal with most of such screws. If you repair any electronic set you will know how much skill is required to remove a screw using a long screw driver. A Swiss knife on the other hand is very short and can be used very easily even by those who have shaking hands. Some times you may find that a flat chisel shaped screw driver is missing. Actually it is not missing it is coupled with a steel cap opener which has a flat top which can be easily used like a screw driver. Buy your Swiss knife as early as possible and explore all the possible things that it can do for you.

Why Brush Teeth Twice A Day

2011-09-18T23:32:00.000-07:00

Brushing teeth twice a day has been there for quite a long time. There are many people who do not understand why we need to brush our teeth twice a day. Why do the dentists advise us to brush our teeth twice a day? There are many things in our mouth that we are not aware of which includes but is not limited to bacteria. Dentists know this but do not take the headache of explaining these things. Brushing your teeth twice a day reduces your chances of getting halitosis or the bad breath problem which makes people close their nose while you speak to them.

The more we keep our mouth close the more awful does it smell because of the food stuck between our teeth getting rotten due to the effect of these bacterias. Difficult to digest but the food that we eat finally gets broken down by the bacteria in our intestines and hence we get that horrible smell from the stools that we pass. This is the sole reason why our mouth and our stools smell so horrible.

To avoid the bad smell of the stools is definitely not possible but we can definitely prevent the bad breath of our mouth by washing it with fragrant toothpastes. That is the sole reason why everyone tells you to brush your mouth twice a day. It is more advantageous to brush your teeth after every meals.

Washing your mouth three times a day removes all the food that is deposited between the teeth and gives you a fresh and fragrant mouth which encourages people to speak to you. People with halitosis problem should brush their teeth at least four times a day which includes once after getting up from bed and once after every time you eat something. If you follow this simple mantra there will be absolutely no need to use a mouth wash henceforth. Just try brushing your teeth every time after having your meals for a few days and you will definitely be surprised to see the encouraging results.

Necessary Laptop Accessories

2011-09-18T22:52:00.000-07:00

Necessary laptop accessories help us keep our dear machine clean and utilize them to the best possible limits they have been built for. Some laptops always look fresh while others look as if they have popped out of the dust bin trash. Certain accessories are so necessary for laptops that it is impossible to neglect them. As we all know laptops and desktop computers are not the same and hence the accessories which work great with the desktop may not necessarily do so with your laptop. The computer does not require you to buy much accessories to keep it clean but a laptop does because of its small size and big price.

The first necessary laptop accessory that you will need for your laptop is a cleaning set. This consists of brush, cleansing agent and a few other accessories which are helpful for cleaning your computer. The cleansing liquid removes tougher stains very easily. Some people also use glass cleansing agent with cotton swabs to clean their laptop screens. The brush is helpful for cleaning your keyboard corners which you cannot normally reach out for while cleaning.

The next necessary laptop accessory is a mouse and a keyboard. Many a people think that these accessories are not so important. But to me it is really important. If the mouse and the keyboard are wireless, it is an added benefit, but, the cost has to be negotiated. A normal keyboard and mousse which is compact and a very basic kind of accessory will cost you around Rs 200 period. While a wireless input control accessory (mouse and keyboard) will cost you around Rs 900.

Certain laptop accessories save your laptop from the scratches it may be subjected to. Buy a scratch guard for your laptop screen and your laptop cover. This is a very good laptop accessory which helps you keep your laptop looking fresh and new for years together. Certain laptops come with a lid cover which is finished in such a manner that a scratch guard is not necessary. A scratch guard looks very odd on such laptop lids and hence this accessory should be avoided for certain laptop models.

You also get a keyboard protecting laptop accessory which is made from a rubber kind of material which spans across the entire keyboard and makes the entire area around the keyboard eliminated from the minutest traces of dust. The most important thing is that this accessory avoids accidentally spilled water from reaching the laptop circuit thus making it water proof (provided that you do not dip the whole laptop into a pond filled with water). This thing has definitely saved my laptop many a times so don't miss out on this one.

Many people do the stupidity of buying a headphone for laptops. Headphone is an accessory specifically designed for desktops. Many headphones which I tried did not have the tight bass which one wants for enjoy great beats and music. They distort at higher levels. The best sound accessory for a laptop is the intra-ear plug. Intra-ear plugs fit into your ear holes very neatly and are very comfortable to listen from. The noise elimination in intra-ear plugs is just great. The best intra-ear plugs I found was the Bose intra-ear plugs. The music pouring out of this accessory is just heaven. If at all you want to buy speakers for your laptop buy the laptop speakers which do not need an extra power input so that you can use them at places which are even far away from a power plug. If you think they do not sound much higher than the in-built speaker, think again. The quality of the sound may not be good but will be high enough for others to hear. If at all you want it for HD movie viewing then go for the bigger speakers or home theatre set-up. Surround sound is always great with the laptops of the present generation when coupled with great bass producing speakers.

If you can afford to buy a cooler pad for your laptop accessory go for it. Generally every HP laptop requires a cooling pad because of overheating issues. Dell laptops are better without them for the starting few months but later they are definitely necessary. the cooling pad is an accessory which utilizes the power from your computer through a USB port and runs a few fans in it which provide cool air which is being thrust into the bottom of your laptop. IT also elevates the laptop and definitely makes it difficult to keep it on your lap. This laptop accessory definitely increases the life of your laptop and keeps it happy for hours together.

Take care that your laptop has got all these necessary laptop accessories minimum of minimum. Laptop accessories are definitely costly. But, they are costly for a good reason. Laptop accessories avoid many harms from reaching your computer and make you feel safe and blessed for buying them along with a laptop. It is not necessary to buy a laptop accessory from a costly showroom which increases the cost to high to buy. All laptop accessories are pretty much the same in nature and are very necessary for the long and healthy life of your laptop.

Playing Video Games

2011-09-18T08:58:00.000-07:00

Playing video games is the hobby of every person in the modern times. With so much advancements in artificial intelligence, graphics cards and graphics softwares, the gaming industry in a matter for a few decades has now come up with gaming technology which during one time was just a day dream There are a few things which if taken care of will avoid many damages to you as well as your system.

Always try to keep the brightness of the screen low so that your eyes do not become dry trying hard to stare at the bright and luminous screen. Do not stare at the screen for a very long stretch. No playing video games for a stretch of continuous four to five hours. Give yourself and your gaming console or computer some gap so that it can rest for a while and give you a better performance without getting its hardware pushed out of the limits. It is always better to close your eyes for ten to fifteen minuets after every hour of video game playing.

The greatest damage that can be done to your console or system is the controller hardware getting damaged. Any video involves lot of button pressing which we know cannot be prevented. Hence it is always a good idea to spend a few more bucks and buy a better gaming keyboard or mouse for yourself. The gaming controller accessories like joystick, keyboard, mouse etc. are always built in such a manner that they can last for a longer time.

Overclocking the system for the purpose of having a high definition game can make your processor burn if not ventillated and cooled properly. If you want to overclock your processor bring an extra big cooler fan and fix it on your processor and make sure that you have applied sufficient paste to the heat sink of the processor. Of course cooling issues of graphics card also have to be cared for. Never forget to clean the fans of your gaming system so that they move softly and keep your system sound and safe.

Pressing the buttons harder does not make the impact on the game software harder. SO press the keys gently. It is pressing the keys quickly which is more important than using force with them. You are not playing to break a keyboard, you are playing to win a game. Do not get so completely immersed into the game that you do not feel like peeing or doing any other necessary activities. Play your video game by sitting out of your system. You do not want to end up into a character as strange as the Mask in the middle of the road. Video games are fun to play only if they do not end up upsetting your health. Preserve your eyes by playing video games less and seeing mother nature more.

How To Choose Mobile Configuration

2011-09-16T04:38:00.000-07:00

If you want to buy a mobile and are confused and you do not know which one to use then this is the solution to your needs. There are many choices which when made well can fetch you the best mobile that you want.

First decide on the type of mobile that you want. This section gives you choices like: touch-screen, bar, business phone with qwerty keypad, flick open and slide open phones. Bar phone is the best in terms of duration. Slide and flick will become lose and will require you to open and close the lid or slide it every now and then whenever you want to use it.

The next section is about 2G or 3G. At present the rates for 3G are so high that unless you are a relative of Vijay Mallya you cannot think of any 3G plans. If you are pretty rich and want to use the service it is your choice. But a 3G mobile will browse faster on the 2G broadband much faster than a 2G mobile is the worst myth you can think of. In some cases might be true because of better antennas or some other reason but the above reason is not much true. The performance of both 2G and 3G mobile is same with any 2G plan

What will you do the most with your mobile phone? Browsing, playing mobile games, music, watch movies,etc. For browsing touch screens are best. For games bar mobiles with hard buttons last longer. For music there are many funky looking phones with slide or flick hoods (these are the youth preferences). For watching movies it is better to go for touch screen mobiles as it gives a bigger display. For chatting a normal bar phone with the numeric keypad and strong buttons are a good deal.

Which brand: If you are reasonably rich Apple, Blackberry, etc. For average users Nokia is best. If you are a dream photographer looking out for a good camera equipped set: Sony. For touchscreens: Nokia is best. I personally never liked Samsung though it tried to come up with a few good ergonomics related features.

That's it choose from above the best category which suits you, make a list of it and search for a mobile with the best features and the least price. Nokia cheats on the pixel density and camera clarity many times. I failed to see a good 3MP camera from Nokia till today. The clarity of 2MP is itself more than sufficient. With new innovations the modern technology and mobile phone are getting better and better making it hard for us to make a proper choice.

Mobile Software Tips

2011-09-16T04:20:00.000-07:00

Mobile phones come with a variety of flavors and yet any mobile you buy there are certain things you need by default on your mobile to extract the most out of it. With software changing day by day people get confused and are unaware of the latest technology that comes out to be handy in order to use their mobile phone in its fullest glory. Mobile being the trendy gadget of the day has become a bare necessity for so many people rich and poor alike. Let us take a look at a few mobile technologies that will help us in this tour.

Mobile software has to be updated from time to time. Updated softwares are more safe to use and work as a patch to cover up the security issues which were not being addressed a few days ago. The software of your mobile has to be updated once in every two months by activating the Internet connection on your mobile.

In order to keep your mobile and its data safe you should install an anti-virus on it. There are many anti-virus programs in the market. Of them all Net-Quin anti virus is very fast and very light on the system resources. It automatically updates its virus database. The best option in this program is that it helps you forcibly shut down the background applications which are not the default applications of your mobile. Which means you can close all the Trojans and viruses running in the background in a single click. For doing this select the safe mode option in the anti-virus section. A message will appear asking you whether you want to shut down the unnecessary programs say yes. This will shut all the programs which are not the default mobile applications.

If you are a Gmail user you need to go to Gmail from your mobile and click the link which allows you to download the Gmail for mobiles application which I bet is faster than the Gmail that runs on the fastest broadband connections! A very good and light to use application which makes browsing mails easier and filled with fun.

Do not miss out on the facebook tool. Many mobile networks give you the added feature of using free facebook browsing. Just configure a few settings as said by your mobile network provider and you are set for a lifelong free facebook gadget in your hand.

A smart mobile phone with no good browser does not sound much good. The best browser for the symbian mobiles is the UC browser. I don't know how but it just compresses the data and makes data transfer so quick and fast that you will be stunned for a while. The very next most useful browser is the opera for mobile and the opera mini browser. In terms of size opera mini is a very small browser. Opera mobile is a few MB's larger while the opera mini is just in KB size.

There are a few other soft wares also which can give you the live scorecard of the matches going on right now around the world. Just type the name of your best sport and you may get a widget ready to be installed on your mobile. Nokia mobile owners have OVI suite which hosts the best free gadgets. There should be a software updating default programs in all the mobiles just use it and you will get many free tools which suit your demands.

Mobile technology is very fast improving. The latest concept phones are something more than a computer in actual life! Mobile phones are no longer mobile phones they are smart phones as far as the technology used in them is considered. The cost of the mobile phones are falling down and now good looking 3G equipped mobile phones are available at the cost of a few thousand rupees. Touch screen mobile technology shook the market and has made every youngster want to have one such with him/her all the time.Take a look at the latest technology in mobile phones and I am sure you will love the future that these mobile phone will bring to humanity.

Modern Mobile Technology

2011-09-15T22:29:00.000-07:00

Mobile is one sector which has a very big impact on the market. With every new mobile we see a set of new technologies dome of which we do not know and some of which we never use. Modern technology has brought a major change in the way mobiles are being used today. Mobiles are no longer the same old mobiles they once used to be. Mobile technology has changed so much that mobile has become more versatile and more innovating as compared to a computer. Some of the latest technologies that can be expected in the forthcoming mobiles has been discussed here. Also there is a detailed information about the best modern mobile configuration if you are interested.

Are you tired of these qwerty and short mobile keypads which take so much of your time to type messages. The latest technology in the forthcoming mobiles promises you a laser keypad. Does that mean that you will be devoid of the numeric and qwerty keypad on the mobile: no. But the mobile will project a laser keypad on a surface and you will be able to type whatever you wish and close the laser keypad. Sounds good but we still do not now the feel of it. The plus point is that now you will be able to type long office documents as you did with your computer and the keyboard will be very very flexible to use.

How will you like your mobile to be as slim as a book cover. This is the latest innovative mobile to come in the iPhone market. The concept model looked very great. The mobile looked so slim on the YouTube video that I was really stunned. Just search iPhone 5 on YouTube and you will see most of the mobile technologies discussed here with your own eyes (select the leaked video).

How about watching video in the middle of air. Yes iPhone 5 is said to come with a mobile technology which will allow you to project the video on a thin glass film which reflects the film beam and gives you the 2D image of the video floating in air. Sound very promising but do not expect HD or any such thing here. The focus is on making the image of the phone larger so that you do not strain your eyes with the tiny little screens of your mobile. Just imagine a web page projecting as such. Not just that but there are touch interface features also shown, so the idea and concept is very very promising

The generation next mobile will no longer be a mobile but will be a compact computer. With the laser keyboard feature the mobile will be more powerful and portable as compared to a computer. You never know what technology has in store for you. The hope is to see nanotechnology flourishing so that a gadget will have a very small battery to power it up which in turn will increase the battery backup and also the performance of the systems. Mobile technology is advancing very fast and iPhone taking the lead with the most innovative technical gadgets filed under its hood.

Modern India

2011-09-12T01:29:00.000-07:00

Modern India is a lot more different than the ancient India which once existed. Modern India though retains certain factors that were its heritage then and even now.Though the modern day Indians stress more on science and technology they tend to forget with time that science had its roots in India and was very much developed a few thousand years back.

The modern woman of India has become more sensible and has fought a war against the useless rituals of the earlier days. The modern woman is well educated (as was the case in the earlier period where great queens and leading women of the society were taught vedas and upanishads in those days). But now every girl has the right to education which eventually brings forth a generation of kids which is also well educated and much wise.

Modern girls need to learn martial arts more than the guys, but, the case is a bit reverse. In earlier times women were valorous and fought great battles single-handedly. If you read the Devi Mahatmya you will be surprised to know that a single Devi could fight against huge armies of Demons without any help being rendered from other Gods. And hey the description of the battle makes you feel so sure that a battle as such can definitely take place. The modern day girl knows the world history but very little about the epic history which many term to be falsehood (except the scientists of the modern time who found evidence of the existence of the incarnations like Shri Rama And Shri Krishna).

Modern India studies Western science whereas Westerners are more interested in the spiritual science of India. Modern days have seen many spiritual leaders who loot people on the name of spirituality. Man has reached many planets with the help of great telescopes and is yet ignorant about the most common question: who could have thought of creating such a beautiful universe. After all every creation has a creator!

Modern India has corruption rooted deep within its system. As in the earlier days even today a big guy rules over others and snatches their money. And the ordinary man is more than happy with the little amount of money that lightens his stove. But definitely the greed for getting more money has spoiled that attention of so many Indians. Modern India has many factors that can make it a leading country but the future of politics in this country seems to be in disaster.

Stress Reduction Natural Techniques

2011-09-12T01:12:00.000-07:00

Why are the stress levels of people living in the metro cities so high? Why is it that the stress levels of the people living in the villages are so low even if they toil a lot more harder than the people living in the metro cities? There are many reasons for the high stress levels that one finds in a man who does a white collar job in a metro city.

The first and foremost reason for the intensively high stress level in the life of a respected employee doing a white collar job is the absence of a good natural habitat which is filled with greenery and fresh oxygen. Absence of trees in the surrounding makes a person feel suffocated which in turn increases his stress levels. The brain feels fresh and loses the stress and strain it is being subjected to when it comes in an environment which is filled with lush green trees which supply abundant fresh and salubrious oxygen.

That being one known reason people get adopted to the idea of early morning jogging which again makes the brain and the lever work harder than ever before, thus, again increasing the stress level the brain is being subjected to. The fresh oxygen of the lush green trees should be absorbed in complete silenced by relaxing each and every muscle of your body to drain out all the traces of stress in your mind.

To add to the distress people do many Pranayama and Yoga exercises. For stress reduction you need to keep yourself away from exercises. There are only two exercises which can calm the speedometer of the modern man: Sahavasana and meditation. Lie down on the ground and let all the strain in the different muscles of your body drain slowly away from you.

Meditation on the other hand is for controlling the mind. The bitter part of the truth is: the mind is very unstable. Hence, even if your eyes are closed there are still many thoughts that are troubling your mind. Sahaja Yoga is a free meditation technique that will help you very much to control this unstable mind in absolutely no time. After all I am no fool to advertise it for free. It is the best gift my life has given to me and I have never fallen into the hands of stress ever since I am following it. Have a nice day!

There are also many softwares out there which can help you accomplish the goal (provided you can afford them). There are also many SEO experts who can take over the job from you. All you have to do is set up the blog and they will take care that you earn the cash. SEO is a one time process and is a one time investment. Though good bloggers hand over their site for the SEO companies once in every six months.

     There are many people who do not know even the abcd of webpage designing and yet they have their websites up and running. Hackers also earn a pretty handsome money till their site gets banned once and for all. Though they always have a permanent site which always keeps on making money to them. Technology has increased and the modern trends demand that every person out there sets up his own blog. It can also prove as a means of advertising oneself. Have a nice day.

India by 2020

2011-08-12T00:49:00.000-07:00

     Remember the book 'Wings of fire' written by Abdul Kalam. I don't know whether his words will come true or not. But my prediction has a scientific background to it. What I predict about India till 2020?

     Whether you believe or not but I am sure that by 2020 corruption will be completely swiped out of India. The destruction will be almost over and people will have started a new pious and spiritual life.

     Believe it or not but I have a firm feeling that Science will come forth to promote spirituality. The world will be filled with prophets. The Kingdom of God will be completely established on Earth. The early days where the Yogis used to have a direct communication with God will arrive again.

     Science and spirituality will walk hand in hand. Science will be able to prove spirituality out and out. Petrol will be over and people will again revert back to the same modes of transport as were used in the oldest days.

     People will seek for brother sister relationships. All this sounds absurd but is supported by many scriptures. Many predictors have said that the time of the next comforter is exactly after the work of Guru Raghavendra will be over. Honestly speaking the time of resurrection is here and now. What awaits next will be destruction.

     All the predictors including Christ have stated that the next comforter will come with all Her powers (which means that She will come in the form of a woman). This was clearly told by William Blake and Bhrigu muni (Nadi Granth). A woman coming with all Her powers is definitely the Adi Shakti. But it has been added that She will hide Her powers by using Her Maya Shakti and that She will come to give en-masse self-realization to many people.

     So far I have found Sahaja Yoga promising all these things. Its founder is H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. Nirmala is no doubt the name of the Devi in the Devi Mahatmyam. And of course I got my self-realization through Sahaja Yoga as taught by Her. All the words of Adi Shankaracharya I understood after getting my realization through Sahaja Yoga. And I am sure that Sahaja Yoga alone is the way of getting resurrection quickly and getting a place in the kingdom of God. Hope even you may get your self-realization as quickly as possible and get resurrected. Enjoy the following about: religion and realization.

The Message Of All religions

2011-08-11T01:16:00.000-07:00

     We all follow a religion in order to pray to God. According to me religions are just different styles of attaining the same goal: self-realization. Before speaking about any other thing let me tell you a few very important messages given by all the religions.

     Lets start with the religion with the maximum number of Gods in it. The Hindu religion. According to the Hindu religion there are 350 crores (crore=10millions) of Gods present in the heavens. The message of Hindus: get Atma-Saakshaatkar (self-realization). The Yagnopaveet ceremony is to be done by a realized soul in order to give realization to the younger one. The technique used by the Hindus to attain God: meditation.

     The Islam religion is also one of the greatest religions which can help a human being to attain God Almighty known as Allah. The technique used by them: Namaaz. They have to become prophets (i.e. to get their self-realization). Muslim means a saint who is surrendered to God Almighty. The great Prophet Mohammed introduced this great technique of doing Namaz which helps a person to attain self-realization and also to become a Prophet.

The next one is Christianity. In Christianity the main aim is to get baptized (to get self-realization). To become a twice born is the symbol of the Easter eggs that are being distributed by the Christians. It is also known that only a Baptized person can baptize another person by purifying him through Baptism which was also done to Lord Jesus Christ by John the Baptist.

     The aim of Buddhism: know thy self: which means- attain your self-realization. This is also the aim of the Jains and most of the widely spread religions of the whole world. To spread Divine love has also been the messages of all these religions. But, what is self-realization, what is its significance and how do you know that you have attained your self-realization.

     The answer to the above question also lies in the religions. The same Divine cool breeze is known by many names in different religions. In Bible it is the Cool Breeze of the Holy Ghost, in Islam it is called as Ruh (Prophet Muhammad had actually said that at the time of resurrection your hands will speak, this also refers to the flow of the cool breeze in our hands), in Hindu religion it is called Sallelam Saleelam by Adi Shankaracharya, it is also called as Chaitanya Lahari, Ritumbhara Prgnya, etc. Gnyan as in Buddhism also refers to knowing thy self on the tip of thy fingers.

     If this is the resurrection time the comforter must have had already come. Till date I found only Sahaja Yoga promising the Divine Cool breeze. Sahaja Yoga was founded by H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi in 1970. It respects all the religions on earth as they are absolute truth and nothing else. Many people of all religions have go their self-realization through Sahaja Yoga. The best part: they do not convert you, they just give you your self-realization. Self-realization can be obtained through all the above mentioned religions, but, the process is slow. Sahaja Yoga spontaneously gives you your realization and the quality of the people called as Sahaja Yogis also promises the fact that they are real Prophets who are busy transforming the whole world and making them as Prophets too. Sahaja Yoga is free: so they cannot mesmerize you for anything whatsoever. They are chaste and pure people and very loveable. Just go to Sahajayoga.org and enter the experience it now section. I am sure you will feel the cool breeze on your hands or on top of your head.

Work From Home Job

2011-08-11T00:14:00.000-07:00

     Many Engineers of Bangalore are now looking out for the work from home jobs. Recession seems to be hitting India at any moment. Most of the software employees are all the time busy with their laptops trying to get some work from home opportunity.

     There are a few work from home jobs which are very prominent in the public. One of them being the data entry job. The sad part of the story is: There are too many such jobs on the internet which ask you for an initial investment. And you never know if it is the best one or not,

     the next best work from home opportunity is to build a blog and earn from the ads. This is very risky for you never know when the ad company will sack you for no reasons known to you. The best part is: you cannot sue them for you do not know the reason for which they have sacked you. The guy who claims to be the original creator of Facebook had once successfully sued Google for a few 600 bucks which Google had refused to pay to him.

     Any more work from home opportunities? There are: internet marketing! This is the most boring stuff online and it does not involve much creativity but a little bit of marketing skills. Blogging is by far the best option but setting up a blog, optimizing it, signing up with ad agencies is a real headache which people love to avoid as far as possible. Moreover getting the content for a blog is a very big headache. But, if you love it it s the best hobby you can look out for in this world.

Nokia 5233

2011-08-11T00:04:00.000-07:00

     This is one of the best economical phones from Nokia I have seen till today. It has no Wi-Fi no 3G and yet it is the youngsters choice of today. if you know how to maintain a system the phone is never a headache. People had complained about it before and later found that the phone is definitely a great bang for money.

     5233 has an awesome touchscreen and looks a very decent phone. The white-grey version just stole my heart. The internet browsing experience of this phone was so great that all my friends have opted to buy this phone. 5233 is sure to steal anyones heart right away.

     The screen being a big one, watching movies online on this mobile has been real bliss. The sound is a bit low as compared to 5230 but it is worth the amount of money you pay for it. The quality of music on this one is just great. Use the noise-cancelling earphones from Creative and heavens will pour down your ears. Even the worst of all music seems heaven on this phone.

     One thing that is so great about this mobile is its camera. A 2MP camera that works a lot more better than the 3MP camera on the X3. This is one thing that all my friends have appreciated a lot in this mobile. In simple words Nokia 5233 has got all that is needed by any middle-class consumer. In fact it gives you more than what you expect from it. Comments are welcome

Will The Jan Lokpal Bill Succeed

2011-08-10T23:54:00.000-07:00

     Will the Jan Lokpal Bill succeed in curbing the corruption of Indian politics. This is a very delicate situation that Indian politics is passing through for the first time in history. The Lokpal bill has never been taken up so seriously by anyone before. Thanks to team Anna Hazare that the Indian politics will see a new fate in the upcoming future. All the corruption of the politicians has been disclosed by many organizations on the national as well as the international level. Thanks to the non-profit organizations like wiki-leaks who are doing such a beautiful job.

     The main question is what will be the fate of the Jan Lokpal Bill this time. Anna is very active and wants his demands to be fulfilled. The great freedom fighter has gone on a hunger strike time and again to give India its second freedom. All that he needs is the support of the people. Are we the citizens of India taking up the responsibility of taking part in this major revolution.

     Everyone feels excited when he sees a politician getting exposed in front of the media. No I will not name any of them for we know them all. If the same continues what will be the fate of Indian politics. I remember the words of H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi the founder of Sahaja Yoga stating that Satya Yuga has begun. That the resurrection time has started and that all that is cunning will be exposed in this time. The Law of Polarity: Karma Phal as they call it in the Hindu tradition is showing its color.

     As Indians I think we all should support Anna on the 16th of this month in order to bring India its second freedom. Freedom from corruption. The British have left theior system behind. In order to wipe the British system clean the Indian politics must and should be ruled by pure Indians. Lets see what direction will this new revolution lead us to. Jai Hind! May the Jan Lokpal Bill be a tremendous success and may it succeed in curbing corruption from its very roots.

What To Do After Buying A New Laptop

2011-08-09T22:05:00.000-07:00

     Bought a new laptop, what next? There are many things to be done to a laptop after buying it. It is generally better to buy a laptop which has Windows pre-installed on it. As soon as you grab your precious machine the first thing you need to do is to right click on My Computer and see the configuration of the machine.Make sure you got what you have got. In case it comes with just pre-installed DOS just press F2 while the laptop is booting and you will know the configuration of your laptop.

Laptop with DOS: For a laptop that comes installed with DOS, do the disc partitioning while installing your Windows or Linux OS into it. Install a good anti-virus. Turn the auto-update off. Remove the battery once and check the internal print. Be sure to check the touch-pad after getting hold of the piece. After installing the OS be sure to install the anti-virus immediately. Install all the other softwares you need and do a clean anti-virus scan. Do not install all the drivers which you do not need. The drivers you will need are: keyboard and mouse, video, audio, network, communication, DirectX 11. Graphics driver in case there is a graphics card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB drivers if any, HDMI and eSATA in case you wanna use an external HDD, etc as per your needs. Installing them all will simply slow down your system. Always keep a back-up of the drivers and softwares in the computer and also in DVD's.

Laptop with Windows OS: Install all the additional software you need. Use an authenticated anti-virus and scan the whole computer. Sometimes HDD's come with fresh horrible viruses. Do not allow the dealer to install all the games and other stuff to your laptop. This is a very good way to get viruses into your systems. Dealers are very good hackers. they may try to make your system corrupt so that you keep on going to them for maintenance and they keep their pockets filled time and again from you. That's it your laptop is ready to be used till it fills your heart. Also it is a good point to see if both the speakers and other accessories are working well. In case if they are not try updating the drivers. If it still doesn't help use the free servicing.

    The next thing you do is buy a spike-guard power plug. In case there is a high voltage, the fuse will blast and guard your laptop against further damages. This is a very important part and should not be neglected. Doesn't matter even if you buy a basic low quality one, but please buy one. Internal damages are the best thing to make your laptop die before its expiry date. Moreover the battery should not get fluctuating voltages. In order to make sure that your battery will perform as expected to, charge the battery completely and discharge it completely till the laptop warns you that it will shut down (till the last percent of charge remaining in it). The battery performs excellently if this is done for the starting ten to fifteen cycles of charging and discharging. Do not push your laptop to its extremes as soon as it is brought. Give it some time to improve itself. The present day machines are very powerful and any laptop with 4GB, i3, 500GB HDD, 1GB video memory can handle anything thrown at it with much ease. Anything less, do not push it too hard at the very beginning. Know its powers first and then subject it to whatever you think it is capable of handling.

     A scratch on your laptop will hurt you more than a scratch on your heart. So, buy two scratch guards and stick one to the lid of the laptop and other to its screen. Also buy a keyboard guard rubber protector. This will avoid dust from entering your laptop. Do not use VLC player with full volume this will blast the speakers in your laptop. In case the heat sink is below the laptop use the cooler pad and keep it below the laptop while turning it on. The laptop keyboard is not designed for playing games. Use an additional keyboard and mouse if you want to use the laptop for gaming purposes. That's it, enjoy your laptop now. Check online to see if the laptop is recognized and is valid for claiming warranty.

Bose Intra Ear Headphones

2011-03-01T20:11:00.000-08:00

The Bose Intra ear headphones (also known as Bose TriPort In-ear headphones or ear buds) have stolen every buyers heart. Looks cool, it is comfortable and sounds awesome. I had to include these headphones as these are recommended by the greatest technical magazines throughout the world. Trust me, the Bose intra ear headphones are just bliss to listen to.

Initially I thought of playing some pop songs in it: it was very good. I just felt as if the singers were singing the song right into my ears. The sound quality just blasted me out. Pop, classical, jazz, melody name anything and these earplugs will fill your ears with blissful sounds. Beethoven and A.R. Rehman music was just paradise with the Bose intra ear headphones.

To test the headphones I tried playing the Indian classical songs on it. I played Bhimsen Joshi on an Apple i-pod in bass mode. My heart just dissolved at the superb table beats that the ear-phones provided. Any player will play the Bose earphones pretty well (or rather it is the other way round).

The earphones worked best in bass as well as treble mode. It sits comfortably in your ear and has excellent noise cancellation effect. I went through the user reviews before buying this one, trust me it is nothing but heaven to me. Music sees a new dimension when it comes out of the Bose Intra ear headphone.

The ear plug may sometimes slip off if you go out for a jog or if you are toiling in a gym. But hey the sound quality just hides all other things and makes these earplugs the best of the best on earth. I recommend this to anyone who has the bucks to burn for a earplug costlier as these Bose intra ear headphones.

Mobile review:

Browsing is a very great experience on Nokia N900. The browser used is MicroB and handles all data thrown on it pretty well. This is one of the best reasons why someone should buy the Nokia N900. Flash games work very well in the N900 and made us extremely happy. The wonderful five-row keyboard and the amazing keypad make the N900 a very special deal. The touch-screen is well responsive and the speakers are placed along the side of the phone which makes me praise the ergonomics of the Nokia N900.

The batery life of the mobile is a bit disappointing. The mobile will give you only 5 hours of continuous music. To make things worse the Nokia N900 is a bit more heavy than expected. The camera may disappoint you if you are used to taking high quality videos and photographs. The photos taken with the camera were quite normal and had nothing in particular that it could boast of. The audio recorded with the N900 also sounded a bit metallic which may not be liked by everyone. The GPS is a real GPS but supports a lower version of OVI maps (version 1.0), yet is sufficient enough to help you all the way to your destination.

The built-in speakers of Nokia N900 are loud, but, they lack quality bass.
Overall the Nokia N900 looks cool and is fun to play around with. It plays all formats of multimedia thrown at it and also has a good ergonomic rating to boast of. Browsing on the Nokia N900 is really heaven. Trust me this phone is a real gem if you are a browse on the go lover. Only if Nokia N900 would have a decent camera I would have closed my eyes and said yes to everyone who wants to buy it. The camera is just above average and might disappoint expert mobile users.

Why India Did Not Win Against England

2011-02-27T20:27:00.000-08:00

The India versus England match that took place in Bangalore yesterday was slightly disappointing to the Indians because it could have been won very easily. With everything in India's hand the audience just could not bear to see India ending up with a tie with England.

By the end of the match everything looked positive and England was in a position where it was pretty difficult for it to even end up with a tie. If it were not for Piyush Chawla probably the match results would have been a nit difficult.

In yesterday's match all that the bowlers had to do was to control the runs and not target the wickets. Australia and Pakistan have blasted the audience with four points in their hand. In group B India and England are leading with three points each.

We just have to hope that our bowlers will keep up and bring India a great World Cup this time. The fielding was pretty tight and looked good on the side of India. Even then we all know that India is mainly relying on its batsmen more this time.

Zaheer Khan was the star of the day and so were Sachin and Andrew Strauss. Indians got hope when they saw Strauss walking out of the great ground. Harbhajan also did a great help to India by controlling the run rate of England. Overall the match was very exciting. What seemed to be a sure victory to India by the end of the day however turned out to be a bit different. Indians are satisfied if not disappointed or excited with the result of the match.

Music For Fun

2011-02-26T01:26:00.000-08:00

Ever felt lonely sitting alone in a room? Want to have instant fun and there is no power in the house? Well, then how about tuning the strings of your favourite instrument and rocking the whole house. Make your home a rockers stage and rock your heart out! Oh yes, whenever I am alone I just remove my harmonica out of its case and rock my own world.

Tuning into your favorite song with your favorite instrument requires a lot of effort at the beginning. Once you start understanding your instrument play some free music every day with it and you will see the difference and joy that music stirs into the air.

Music is something which rich people miss a lot many a times. They want to learn guitar and they don't have the time to learn it. Yet, I have seen Richie-Richs spending their free time playing some beautiful tunes with their favorite beautiful musical instruments.

Music is very soothing to the soul and is best enjoyed by the creator when he is alone. In the presence of a crowd a musician generally gets a bit nervous and does not get the chance to express himself completely. Open your heart in a closed room and let the music flow and fill the air around you.

Get out of this silly world and take a deep plunge into the world of music. There is no one to stop you and you have one small instrument which can take you to a moment filled with bliss. If music is good to hear it is good to play too.

Software engineers and doctors alike are found joining guitar and flute classes. Tabla and harmonium are second priorities. Harmonica is a favorite among people of West. The older Indian film industry made the audience crazy with this same small little instrument. and even today many Indians and westerners alike like to hear to songs played on the Harmonica with single note blows. So do not waste time and tune into some wonderful music whenever you get the chance of doing so. Have a great day filled with music.

This princely Khan is known for his amazing body so much that the actresses just lose their hearts the moment they see him. With a wide chest this actor flaunts well balanced abs which are neither too flashy nor too skinny. He works systematically with every region of his body and has cycling as his major passion.

Next great body definitely belongs to Hrithik. No wonder he is the star of this time, yet, he focuses more on arms and chest. And yes people want him to take his shirt off and show his giant flaunting biceps and fill the full silver screen with it. Hrithik also has wonderful abs, but, his main focus is biceps and chest. Does he have the best body in Bollywood?

Aamir had built a gigantic body for Ghajini. We all loved to see him do those amazing pull-ups and see those masculine muscles which had developed on his hind shoulders. Excellent wings and great triceps made him a great builder in his film Ghajini. But, does he have the best body in Bollywood?

Well balanced body combined with a good height gives him the image of a well balanced Greek statue. Does he have the best body on bollywood?

How To Make A Battery Last Long

2011-02-24T23:44:00.000-08:00

I bought a mobile/ Digital-camera and its battery is draining very soon, is this the same case with you? What makes the battery life go down so quickly even when the battery is just a year old? The reason is because you do not know how to handle the batteries so as to make them last for a longer time.

Taking care of batteries is very easy provided you ask for a few precautionary measures from a good electrical engineer. You are lucky that I am an Electrical Engineer. Yes, and I will definitely help you to regain your battery life.

The moment you buy any gadget which runs on a rechargeable Li-ion battery discharge it completely and charge it completely. The first time you use your gadget let the battery charge and discharge completely for a few cycles (three to four). There is a reason why Engineers advice you to so this: the ions in he battery have to become free and active.

As the name itself indicates most of the Li-ion batteries run on the principle of cell conduction. Remember the experiment including dipping two rods in an acidic solution? A battery also runs on the same principle. I will not run into much technical details and bore you to death. But this is one simple solution to improving your battery life and ensuring a good battery.

Let all the charge in your battery drain and charge the battery completely. Sometimes overcharging can also improve the battery life of your device, but, the reverse is also true. And you also have the possibility of getting your battery basted. To know whether your battery life is gone remove it and see it horizontally. If the battery is bulged at the middle portion be sure that it has greater chances of bursting. Discard it immediately.

Once I had been to Chennai. I found that the battery of my mobile drained immediately. Not just that: the battery had turned burning hot. In such cases, switch off your mobile and remove the battery let it cool down, reinsert the battery after it cools down, but, do not keep your mobile on forever. Turn it on only when the need arises. It is normal for a battery to lose charge quickly when you are in hot and humid climates. Just make sure that the battery does not get hot enough to give you the image of a suicide bomber. With the above measure I am sure that your battery performance and battery life will see immediate improvements.

Mobile Gaming Is Trend Of The Day

2011-02-24T23:03:00.000-08:00

Have you ever thought that mobile gaming would become the trend of the day. Touch screen mobiles have dragged gaming to a new platform and the results have been quite surprising.

It has been found that girls are found to be roaming around with mobile gaming on the move. Yes, mobile gaming has become the trend of the day. The fact that is still very strange is that people love the smaller and compact screen of the mobile and think that the mobile keypad gives them more control over the game.

Going back to the history of mobile gaming I remember Snake Xenzia, one of my favorite games with the black and white mobiles. Yes it was a trend to make high scores and break others high scores. I have seen my college friends digging their heads into their mobiles for long hours in order to become the hero of the day. The one to lose would give a party to the winner.

Mobile games are exciting than ever with the introduction of flash and JAVA technology. Thanks to JAVA for taking mobile games to this level and thanks to the developers for their attempt to make gaming on the go a dream come true. Mobile games have now become a trend of the day. You will find people playing the "bounce" game, "brick wall" game and also a few car race games on their mobiles.

People with touch screen mobiles are feeling luckier than ever to play exciting and amazing mobile games like ever before. The trend of Mobile Games will continue and we will find people less engaged in messaging and more engaged in mobile gaming in the next few months with the release of exciting mobile games which will boggle your mind. Recent surveys are also indicating that playing mobile games will improve your concentration. With so much advancements in gaming, and with the support of the high-tech smart phones equipped with the latest cutting edge technology in them I am sure that mobile gaming is going to get exciting than ever before.

Blogging Is Declining

2011-02-23T04:15:00.000-08:00

Finally blogging is seeing a decline since the last two years. Youngsters find it difficult to maintain a blog. There are many reasons as to why the Yonkers have stopped blogging. Let us take a look at he various reasons due to which the passion of blogging is declining amongst the youngsters.

The first and foremost reason which makes blogging difficult is because it has to be frequently updated. Something which is really very very difficult. You need the time for updating the posts on your blog. In modern times where people are so busy with their daily schedules this is a very difficult. And the traffic reports also disappoint you as you stop frequently updating your blogs.

The next reason is: people are not bothered about the blogs. People never care about the blogs nowadays. It is very few people who like reading blogs. To make blogging a serious profession you need to be a master blaster. You need to give everything to the search engines. The worst part is: there is never a good start for any blog. But, every blog has a good ending: trust me on that!

Then comes one of the major reasons why people say quit, "SEO". Search Engine Optimization is really one of the best things when it comes to blogging. A blog is like cooking a dish, it should impress both the search engines as also your visitors. Even today I have a few golden posts which are still keeping my blog going on and on with the income of traffic to it. A blog is all about getting traffic. And traffic is all related with search engines. And finally it does boil down to Search engine optimization. SEO is tough is what everyone says. But on the other hand SEO is also great fun (if done properly it is the most rewarding things on this earth).

Whatever anyone does there is one group which is ruling the blogging world: the black-hatters. Yes these guys know what the search engines want and they will do all that they possibly can in order to top the Google rankings. They are not bothered about reputation. They are just bothered about the traffic and hey, they do get it. They know all that the search engines want. They are always active on the internet and they know all the loopholes of the search engines. They know where to get the links from and they also know that some day or other they are going to get banned. Yet, they are not bothered about it. They have a lot of blogs running on auto-pilot.

With no traffic being promised to their blogs, all creative artists have now turned towards the social sites like Twitter and Facebook. The art of blogging had grown enormously in the past few years. Every person was found to maintain a blog and also earn well from it. Things are different nowadays. The number of bloggers around the world is so high that it is impossible to have a quick and successful blog unless you know a few black hat techniques to impress Google. Blogging will definitely never decline, but, the passion for blogging definitely will.

The Secret Behind Cooking

2011-02-17T04:50:00.000-08:00

Does anybody know the secret behind good cooking? The secret is that there is no secret. Has anybody watched master chef episodes? Take a look at them and you will get to know the secret behind good cooking.

It is not necessary that anything cooked perfectly will taste good. First and foremost cooking is about the right amount of salt added (that's what expert cook(er)s have got to say). Do not stick to measuring salt with spoons? Spoons may change, but, one thing will never cheat your judgement: your hands. Try to add salt to the dish with your hands. Yes, it does bring about great changes in the dish. When you add salt with your hands you also mix some of your love into the food

Cooking is about having the perfect balance between everything that you add to your dish. You will find women in India who have never gone to a school throughout their lives and yet they cook the best food in the world. Cooking is an art, not a science. And there is no secret behind the greatest art.

To me there is one ingredient that my mother always adds in whatever she cooks. Love, and that's what make the food a lot more tastier than what it is supposed to be. Sometimes charred food also tastes great if the food is cooked with lots and lots of love (does it?).

A cook should always have confidence that his dish has in it what can make everyone happy. I remember our cook saying, "there is magic in my hands. Whatever I cook always tastes great". And hey, he is not wrong. If you are afraid that your food will not be liked by others, probably you are right. But, never stop experimenting in the kitchen. Whatever you cook for the first time cook it for yourself and then ask an expert chef around you to taste it and to tell you what the food is lacking.

There is no secret behind good cooking. You just need to have interest in whatever you cook. You may fail one or two times. But, remember: failures are the building blocks of success. You will not get to know the secret behind cooking so easily, at least not by just reading an article like this. Remove the pan take whatever comes to your hand and start cooking out of the book and taste it. The next time you will know what mistakes you have done and you will always get a chance to rectify yourself. However here is one secret for some good cooking: if you dish turns out to be too salty add some lemon to it (the other way round also holds good). And hey add the lemon to balance the taste (do not make things so sour that you get scolded by your neighbours husband). So that is the secret behind good cooking (what was it though)!

Reason For Hair Loss And Its Solution

2011-02-17T01:03:00.000-08:00

At a very young age many a people are becoming bal and losing their hair. Ever wondered what is the reason for this drastic hair loss? In modern times when people tend to do a lot of hair styling it seems bizarre as to why people lose hair even when they take care of their hair so much. It was most surprising to find out that the actors and actresses are the ones who lose hair very fast, and people are crazy enough to try and copy their hair styles.

Let us take a look at the different reasons why people suffer from hair fall and what are the different ways through which hair loss can be avoided.

The strongest reason for losing hair is shampoo. The stronger the shampoo, more will be the chemicals used. Shampoos giving lot of lather and shampoos which smell very strong with aroma are in general very harmful for your hair. Stop using harsh shampoos immediately. It is better to go for shampoos which claim that they have natural extracts of shikakai and amla. These are best for all types of hair.

The next reason is heat. Not necessarily the heat of the sun, but, heat of the body. The heat of the sun is also one of the major reasons. In case either is true stick to a diet which can cool you down. Something like cucumber, Kokum juice, sugar cane juice. One more soothing solution which can remove the heat from your body is walking on soft lawn grass. Early in the morning when these things have dew drops on them is preferably the ideal time for walking on this grass. Try to minimise non-veg and other food-stuffs which have a lot of spices in them.

Another major reason for hair-fall is too much of thinking. It is common for the man of today to think a lot and to have a very stressful life. Stress gives you many dreadful diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. If you belong to this category I would suggest you to go for meditation. If you are very busy and want very quick results try Sahaja Yoga meditation. I have seen people change a lot after they come in Sahaja Yoga. Not only do they lose their stress, but, they become so fresh after the meditation that they can easily handle very hectic tasks very easily without much hassles.

Dandruff may also trigger excessive hair loss. Go for a good and mild anti-dandruff shampoo which you can use everyday. Dandruff happens due to a dry scalp. So oil your hair at night and wash them off early in the morning. Some people also lose hair due to heredity. Well, I don't think genes can be altered. But still as an experiment you may give Sahaja Yoga meditation a good try. I am sure you will feel better after seeing the after effects of the meditation. The peace that you enjoy after meditation gives much nourishment to your hair.

Oiling your hair is another very good way to avoid hair loss. It seems absurd and is not supported by doctors, but, fact is a fact. Oil your hair at night and wash them when you wake up in the morning. Who is going to see you when you are sleeping anyway? Try oiling your hair, you will feel a lot better. Suggestions and comments regarding hair loss are welcome.

Why Are Mobile Phones Not Allowed At The Petrol Pumps

2011-02-15T22:13:00.000-08:00

Many people take it for granted that mobile phone does not cause any hazard at the petrol pump. Let us get across the fact and the myths regaring the issue of petrol pumps and mobile phones.

The fact about mobiles and petrol: The fact is that petrol is highly inflammable (especially unleaded petrol). There are a few videos on youtube that actually demonstrate how petrol can catch fire in the presence of your mobile. Let us take a look at a few possibilities:

The more you use your mobile the greater is the chance for the petrol to catch fire. The radio signals reaching a mobile phone are generally very high frequency waves. These waves have sufficient energy to set the mobile on fire. Certain companies design high frequency signals purposefully so that the waves can cover a greater span thus ensuring full signal to its customers. In such cases the best way to play safe is to switch your mobile off in a petrol pump.

There are chances for your mobile battery to blast, hence, it is always safe to change battery once its performance drops below the normal battery life.

But, where do I come in contact with the petrol: The petrol on the pipe is more than enough to initiate the flame. The rest depends on your luck.

It is mandatory not to receive calls when you are in a petrol pump. You will not lose job or money in a minute or two. And please do not be lethargic enough to switch your mobile phone off. Your life is much more precious than you think.

There are many proofs which will show you how petrol catches fire in the presence of a ringing mobile phone. Also, even if you call someone from your phone the petrol can catch fire. The only reason why they purposefully tell us to switch the phone off is because, if you forget to activate the lock on the number pad, the mobile may dial something without you being aware of it (now, isn't that dangerous?).

Please leave comments and spread the above message to everybody. You may also list a few things you know regarding the hazard of mobile phones and the safety precautions to be observed in the petrol pump so as to keep us safe from the mobile-petrol hazard.

Money Dreams

2011-02-15T19:46:00.000-08:00

In modern times the youngsters are not willing to work hard as people did earlier. They want quick money and that too with very little or no effort put into it. The youngsters of today have become so lethargic that they will always try to find a white collar job. Oh no, you are wrong. Not those white collar jobs that you are thinking about.

You will find many teens keen in stock trading nowadays. Yes, and I have myself seen many people losing and winning the game right in front of my eyes. Most of my friends had started stock trading at the very beginning of their college lives.

The next thing is of course the LIC agent work. I was surprised to see Engineer graduates working as LIC agents and earning commissions. But, when I just put my head into the money part I came across the fact which mae these guys opt in for it: easy way of earning money, complete freedom over the amount of money that you can earn and of course you are the boss if you have reached the target.

The next thing most youngsters will e found doing from their homes is data entry job. Yuck, I would die but never do such a job even if it would bring me more money. There is no creativity in this. But, hey they pay you for your typing skills. So, who cares about boredom as long as our pockets are getting refilled by the companies.

And finally the last means of earning money for the modern youngsters is blogging! Something I love the most. Yes this requires creativity and is fun to play around with. Impress Google and your pockets will be full. Compete with two million sites, come first and you are the king of the swing. But, impressing Google is not a cake walk. It is difficult indeed.

Playing Online Games

2011-01-10T07:20:00.000-08:00

Playing online games is considered to be one of the coolest trends of the day. Youngsters, grannies, grandpas and even celebrities are nowadays very busy playing online games. People never thought that online games would grab so much attention of the crowds. In earlier days online games were just a dream. People became very happy when they got to play Games over a local LAN network.

The trend of online gaming will keep on continuing. There is no stop to this. Online games come with an advantage. People are so engrossed in their business activities that they get very little time to make friends. Mostly people working at call centers are found to be actively involved in playing online games.

The one reason why people love playing online games is because they get to meet new people. They get to see a new world completely filled with adventures. People like to become heroes in their lives. People who are frustrated feel like playing games like VCop, Grand Theft Auto, Street fighter and Quake2.

Playing in coordination with each other also heps students to become good managers. One person manages the whole fleet and commands all his team mates to play according to his instructions. If done properly the online games can create great leaders who can take the lead and bring forth a good and balanced society.

Online games are also far too dangerous. A few years back a mom got up from her computer and started searching the whole house to find something very valuable. The whole house was a mess. After throwing all the scattered clothes and clearing the room she found her child whom she had not fed since time unknown. The mom was a hardcore online gamer. But still a little bit of online gaming is always fun. After a hard day at the office it is always re-freshening to build an online community and play a good online game. Online games always remind me of the old and popular saying: united we stand divided we fall. So, use online gaming for having some casual fun and have a great time.

Is Hair Oil Helpful For Hairs

2011-01-10T06:58:00.000-08:00

Time is a witness that applying hair oil is good for the hair. What are the actual advantages of applying hair oil to the hairs? Let us take a look at them closely:

The scalp should not be left dry especially if you are living in a country where there is too much of sun. The oil keeps your scalp cool and hence it is very beneficial for your hairs too.

It is found that many people in the west lose their hair very quickly because they do not apply much oil to it and regularly wash it with shampoos which are made up of very harmful chemicals.

The scalp does produce some oil no doubt but that is just for protecting itself from the harsh environment. It is also found that the oil that it produces is actually a product that comes out of the sweat glands.

Oiling the hairs and scalp also makes your head sweat a bit less than usual. The reason being, when the temperature increases the body starts to sweat. When we apply oil, the scalp is generally cool unless you go out in the wild sun with nothing to cover your hair. This heats your hairs and they start falling off.

If you are so oil sick you may apply oil to your hair at night and then wash it off early in the morning. The hair oil also serves the purpose of a good moisturizer. Oiling has many benefits and I personally think that with so many advantages to it, oiling the hair is a very important part of our daily routine. Hairs have to be taken due care of. You may keep it short but still it is necessary to keep them healthy.

Solution To Rough Skin Due To Shaving

2011-01-10T06:37:00.000-08:00

Generally shaving makes our skin very rough. The good fact is very that you can avoid it and that the process is also completely reversible. Skin getting rough due to shaving is quite normal if you do not take care of using right shaving ingredients. Let us first take a look at why our skin becomes so rough on shaving regularly:

When we shave ourselves we actually remove a very small layer of skin off our face.

The skin becomes rough and dry and loses its moisture content if we do not use a proper lotion or cream to restore its moisture.

When we go out after having a clean shave our skin is exposed to the harsh sun rays which is quite harmful to the skin.

There is a game of opening and closing of the skin pores which if taken care of properly can give you better shaving results.

Let us now see how we can avoid our skin from getting rough due to excessive shaving:

First and foremost do not simply apply some soap to your face and start shaving immediately. Use a proper shaving cream and work it using a shaving brush to produce some rich lather. It is to be noticed that the longer the cream remains on your face the easier it is to have a clean shave.

Use hot water while shaving. This opens up the pores on your face and lets you shave your beard a little below the skin surface. On the contrary it is better to use cold water to wash you face after you finish shaving yourself. If in case you have cut yourself, washing the face with some cold water will clot the blood much faster than it would under normal conditions.

Please do use a sharp razor as far as possible. Do not look back for the amount of money spent on the razor. A few more bucks and your skin will stay smooth for a very long time. Professionals working in MNC's have to shave themselves regularly whether they like it or not. As such make it a point to keep a set of new razor blades while already using one set. Many a times we use older blades just because we are lazy enough to go out and buy new blades. Older blades hurt a lot and are also a main reason for making our skin rougher than normal.

Use a good after shave. It makes you feel fresh and active. A man marks his presence through the fragrance of his after shave. There is no need to use any scrub of any sort. The scrubs are generally used so that they can peel a thin layer of dead cells on your face. Hence males need to use a scrub only once in a week (which also is not necessary by the way).

There is a myth that upward strokes make your beard rougher. It is just a myth. You need to use reverse strokes if you want to have a very clean shave. An ideal shave requires at least twenty minutes of careful and hard work. Also take a look at the secret of smoother and cooler shaving.

Have a great shaving day. If you use a good after shave there is no need to use any moisturizer or lotion of any sort. If possible use some oil on your face it will make your skin smoother and will give it a great glow. Apply the oil in the night and shave yourself in the morning.

T20 is back in town

2011-01-10T06:07:00.000-08:00

Finally the T20 cricket series is back and is sure to stir some magic into the hearts of the people this time. Oh yes, we had been waiting impatiently for the T20 series since a very long time and finally the auctions are over.

It was surprising to see a few great players not being sold. The teams look good, but, when it comes to T20 even the best of all teams need to taste mud if the coordination and chemistry of the players is not so good.

There is one thing which makes T20 so unique: all players mingle and show all their talent in a very short span of time. In my words T20 is just like a super power play. It never bores you. There are wickets and there are quick runs too. There is absolutely to get bored about.

Some people do believe that T20 has made people more patriotic towards their respective states. On the other hand some people feel that it is dividing India.

But, the actual thing is: they are doing it for money. The players get to earn well and so do the sponsorers. T20 has become a very favorite sport for the Indians. Let us all twist our hands and sit in front of the television to see a game of cricket which is nothing much different than the match highlights which we watch sometimes. Hope that T20 will bring tremendous entertainment along with it on the occasion of the beginning of this new year.

HTC 7 Mozart looks technically sound and, hey, it has got awesome and cool looks too. HTC Mozart 7 is a real stylish dude. But hey, it has got a few flaws too. The grip of the phone is a bit weak and hence it slips off your hands if you are careless enough. The camera of Mozart 7 disappointed me a little bit. It is not quite up to the mark to be called as an excellent camera. The Dolby effect of HTC Mozart 7 does give us some good bass ,yet, the audio output cannot be considered to be too good. The applications are good and run pretty well. There are a few ergonomic issues faced by a few users ,but, to me it looks just fine. I cannot really recommend everyone to buy the HTC Mozart 7, yet, neither can I tell you not to buy it. If you want to have a phone with a decent camera along with a Dolby sound and stylish looks go for this beautiful mobile phone.

How To Find Good Hotels

2010-10-13T22:48:00.000-07:00

How do you ever find good hotels? If you have gone out to a far away unknown place, how will you decide whether a hotel is good or not. Finding good hotels is a little tricky but not difficult. There are several ways that will help you find good hotels at the place where you are living. Some hotel finding techniques are basic common sense while a few others require some effort from your side. Finding good hotels at an unknown place will get you into stomach trouble which is undesirable.

The best technique so far is to ask someone. If you do not know the regional language just say hotel and he will obviously guide you to the best hotel in that place. If you can find hotels where the food is cooked right in front of your eyes, you can decide whether the hotel is good or not depending on the type of kitchen they have. Good chefs are generally very clean and do not prepare food like the hawkers who prepare things very quickly to reap some quick money from their customers.

The next best option to find good hotels is to tell an auto driver to take you to a good hotel. This however has one drawback: the auto driver may take you to a far away hotel just to reap extra money from you. Never let the auto drivers know that you are new to that place. But, there is one more technique which will undoubtedly lead you to the best hotel.

It is a common guess that good people like good hotels. But, when it comes to finding a hotel where you get very good and delicious food: you need to hold a person who loves to eat delicious food. By nature many people who are the aesthetics of food are a little fat. People with a very big tummy eat anything which lies in front of them. So, approach a person who has a balanced and good looking tummy to guide you to go for a good hotel in the nearby area. Do not find your good hotel through the internet. There are a few guidelines given to tourists by the government. See if you can find the best hotels of the place in it. Tagging a hotel and praising it is a child's play and will not help you by any means to get a good hotel. Different people have different tastes and hence the reviews will be so confusing that you will never find your good hotel with this technique.

Most of the techniques for finding good hotel that are stated above will no doubt take you to a good hotel but if your day is perfect they will take you to the best hotel. Do not forget to tell the types of dish that you would like to prey on at the good hotel you are looking out for. Many hotels are good at preparing limited dishes which favor the taste of the cook. Make sure that your good hotel will give you the dishes that you love the most. Going to a good North Indian hotel will not fetch you good South Indian food or vice-versa. Have a good time searching for your good hotel.

Robot Movie Review

2010-10-01T04:59:00.000-07:00

Robot movie review: Robot is a long awaited film in India and is a movie which will be loved by the Indians. Robot is a movie which has its origins from the Tamil movie called Endhiran. Rajni the style king and south Indian superstar has now got a film that will give him a new status and fame because of this unique movie called Robot.

Robot's base story: A great scientist (Rajnikant of course) designs a good Robot. But, he wants a Robot which is quite different from other Robots. He sees that the only difference between man and machine is that humans have emotions and Robots don't. Rajni simulates some AI into the Robot (which looks like him) and gives it the emotions that humans normally go through. The Robot then falls in love with Rajni's girlfriend (Ash). And then the war of love begins.

Is Robot different than iRobot: The story is definitely different, but, Robot has got Rajnikant. Millions and crores of rupees have been spent in order to get the desired visual effects. You can assure yourself of this fact that this film does not have much of iRobot in it (except for having a Robot which can understand feelings as in iRobot).

Robot visual effects: More than fifteen crore rupees have been invested just in order to get the desired visual effects. There are very strange instances to be shot in the film. Robot will be showing too many superhero stunts in it. If you are a superman or spiderman fan, hold your seats: you will soon become a Rajni fan after seeing the movie. The climax of the movie is completely action filled and is worth taking a look at. Throughout the movie there will be Rajni's unique style to keep you off the cauldron of boredom.

Robot music: There is A R Rahman to fill magic into your ears this time. There are Hollywood technicians and stunt masters to take care of the stunts and visual effects in Robot. The songs are pretty good and so are the actors. Both Rajni and Ash have a solid fans' base who will support the success of the movie. Moreover the producers will not hassle to invest any amount of money into the film. Rajni films are always made a hit by his wonderful fans.

Will Robot be a hit?

Will Robot Be A Hit

2010-09-30T10:03:00.000-07:00

Will Bollywood film Robot be a hit: Will Robot stir the airs at the boxoffice with superstar Rajnikant and the wonderful and sizzling Aishwarya Rai. The movie has got very good songs. People are waiting impatiently for Robot (2010) which will be releasing very soon. Why are people waiting for Robot?

Robot will not become a flop: Because it has got the South Indian superstar: Rajnikant who has decided to stop acting and is yet rocking on the silver screen with films which sometimes do not suit his caliber. Rajnikant fans were disappointed a bit with his previous film Shivaji (which was a big hit by the way) and are now expecting Rajni to satisfy their thirst for seeing their stylish hero in the film Robot.

What is special in Robot: There are a few very good songs in Robot if you ever bothered taking a look at them. Ash is found on the screen after a long time. And there is also another film with Hrithik that Ash is shooting out for (apart from Robot).; If you ever get the time take a look at the song Kilimanjaro, it just stole my heart. Moeover Robot is a scientific fiction movie: something which is novel to the Indians.

Comments on Robot: If you ever take a look at what people say about Robot, you will find out that there are Tamil fans who are saying that Bollywood is not creating anything now and is instead stealing many films from Hollywood(Murder), Telugu (Wanted) and Tamil film (Ghajini) industries. Robot is also a remake of Endhiran (Tamil).

We have to wait and see till the robot arrives: Whatever be the case, there are plenty of Rajni fans who can promote the film (Robot) and make it a super hit in no time. Don't know about Ash, but, the style of Rajni will definitely make this film earn a lot. Let's wait and see what happens with Robot.

Is Having A Girlfriend The Trend Of The Day?

2010-09-22T08:59:00.000-07:00

Has having a girlfriend become the trend of the day? No, it hasn't. People who do not live in metropolitan cities have not yet taken to this trend of having girlfriends and boyfriends. Literally speaking, sensible people are sensible enough to judge that the whole whirlpool of having a girlfriend and boyfriend is just a big time pass. People who do not get interest in watching television feel that they should have someone who will care for them and keep them happy all the time. Let us take a look at why girls and boys are so curious about finding a match for themselves at a younger age.

Girls are emotional beings. If the woman in Adam And Eve series would not eat the fruit of knowledge the story of Adam And Eve would have been much different. not only did the woman listen to the serpent and eat the fruit, but, she also convinced her husband and made him share her load of sin. That how girls are. When they are happy they make everyone happy and when they are sad they curse every particle around them. There are many varieties of girls and each of them have their own reasons for having a boyfriend.

Some girls search for a boyfriend because they have no money to spend. Two people spending money means double happiness in the eyes of such girls. They are not emotionally attached to anyone except money. The second type of girl is the SRK fan. Such girls are die-hard fans of some bollywood hero and want to see a filmy life. And every film nowadays has love stories to make conditions of such girls even worse. To such girls life itself is a big film and they take their boyfriends to be a representation of their favorite hero. The next girl is the pervert girl. She just wants someone to keep her warm for a while. They are in no way attached to their boyfriends. they just want to have some fun and they have it whenever they want from whom so ever they like. Coming to the next category: girls who want to choose their own grooms. Sadly such girls always get into the traps of boys who love the idea of one night stand. They are a little innocent and do not have a practical way of judging the people around them.

Coming to boys: there are only two types of boys in this world: one is the pervert boy and another one is the saintly one. It is obvious why the first person searches for a girl. The second type does not search for a girl. If at all he falls in love with someone he proves himself to be a true lover. Some boys search girls only because they are too curious to see the life after marriage. Boys are not much complicated. It is easier to find the intentions of a insane boy. But, this is possible only by a very cunning guy who knows how to read the brains of other people.

But, how did the trend of having girlfriends and boyfriends arrive? It was because of the introduction of sex education. Boys and girls started seeking life after marriage and hence fell a prey to this monstrous whirlpool. And another reason why the youth feel excited to seek a girlfriend or a boyfriend is because of the movies and their favorite film stars. The best reason for being misguided is having a friend who has gone through all kinds of rubbish in this field. If there is yet another reason which has not been unfolded in this article feel free to use the comments section. And yes, some youngsters do this because they do not get a necessary dose of love their parents. Have a nice day!

Flowers And Their Effects

2010-09-21T09:19:00.000-07:00

If you have been to someones house which has been designed or at least planned by a good interior designer you will find at least a flower pot at various places in the house even if there are no flowers in it. Why is it that the interior designers use the flower pot concept for every house (or in some cases every room)? The reasons are many. But, I will take the delight of naming only the most important ones.

Flower pots add to the beauty of the house and so do the flowers. A flowerpot without any flowers in it is equal to a head without any brain residing in it. If you have consulted a good interior designer he will buy you or at least recommend flowerpots whose colors are contrast to the wall colors. This makes the visitors attention to be centered towards the flowerpot. This eventually does mean that every visitor coming to your house will ponder his eyes over the flowerpot. If there should be any flowers placed in the pot is now up to you to decide.

Now let us come to the flowers part. Why do we keep flowers in the house. It adds beauty to the house is one reason, but, the main reason why many people used flowers in their house was because their loved the smell of the flowers. Yes, if incense sticks have their aroma roaming throughout your house for an hour at the most, the flowers will have their essence spread throughout the room even after they wither away.

Now coming to the part that many people are curious about. The flowers also activate the romantic side of a person. Even a stone hearted person will become romantic if the right blend of flowers are used in the rooms. Not to mention that these same flowers are also used in a wrong manner by the adulterous villains of the society. The flowers are also said to be the most dearest to gods.

Do remember that every flower does not have the same effect. If some flowers make you an admirer of beauty another set of flowers make you creative and even poetic thus bringing peace, happiness and joy to your family. Marigold is not a flower to be kept in the vase. Neither was it ever used to praise the Divine. If you read the Puranas you will get to know that a Demi-Goddess had created this flower only for herself. Let us take a look at the flowers which look best in the vase.

First is the rose. You can decorate it with leaves of the show-plant trees. Roses bless the house with innocence and happiness. No wonder their aroma is so sweet. Next flower is the lotus (which has great spiritual value attached to it). This flower has been dearer to the Gods and Goddesses of literally all countries throughout the world. Not to forget our fair Daffodils which are a good treat for the flowerpots. But, of course they wither away too soon. Then there is the May flower, Achilea, Ladies Mantle, Snapdragon, Lily of the valley, Chrysanthemum, the ever so lovely African Daisy and the bird of paradise flower.

Do keep one thing in mind that you want flowers which last for a longer time and look very fresh. Whether you buy flowers or pluck them from your garden, please use flowers which have a strong stalk and strong petals. There are sponges available in the market to hold the flowers together, but, they do not last for a longer time and are to be disposed after few uses. Instead use water: this keeps the flowers fresh. Lilies of all types are very good to be kept in the flower pots.

Interior Designing | Modern Trends In Interior Designing

2010-09-03T06:34:00.000-07:00

Interior designing is a very good profession which gives the modern clean and beautiful looks to a simple house. Any person considers consulting an interior designer for the decoration of his house in order to decide the interior design which will make his house a heaven from within. Yes interior designers with great skills can make a small house a paradise which is never thought of. Modern trends demand an interior designer who not only knows about illumination and other interior designing skills, but also someone who knows vaastu shastra and the chinese Feng Shui which helps maintain the balance of the elements of the house thus bringing beauty to the house and peace to those who live within it.

Yes, interior designing is no normal job nowadays because people are a bit more worried about the cultural and religious significance of the house. Recent surveys show that many people do believe in Vaastu Shastra nowadays. There are people who consult a vaastu shastra expert after getting a design plan from an interior designer. If you are planning to become an interior designer you should have some basic vastu knowledge in order to satisfy the demands of your customer. Usually many people tend to change the design of the house after consulting a vaastu expert who tells them that the design given by the interior designer is absolutely wrong. If you have some vaastu knowledge it is worth mentioning it in your business card or online profile so that people can be convinced that they have met the right interior designer.

Interior designing is an art. An interior designer is usually stylish in nature. The way a person dresses you can make out whether he is artistic or not. A professional interior designer will wear formal dresses while a casual and happy go lucky designer will wear funky looking yet beautiful clothes which mark his wonderful taste. However the best way to judge a person is to take a look at his work. Modern trends require everything which make your house look beautiful yet spacey and large. A small room with less furniture looks large. On the other hand a large room with too much furniture stuffed into it looks smaller. Thus you need to tell your interior designer the way you want your house to look. The greeks were very good interior designers. Their pillars and arches gave a new touch to interior designing.

The best architecture and interior designing is seen in the Mughal time monuments. India is blessed with very good designers who caved and sculpted the ancient temples in India. Interior deigning is not a new subject. Having a beautiful interior design has been the dream of every house owner since ages together. There is no castle in this world whose owner had neglected the need of an interior designer to make his house so beautiful. Do remember the following things which will help you with some quick interior designing of your house which suits the need of the modern times

Having a flower vase in every room of your house is a good taste as it suits the modern trends of interior designing. Be careful with the colors of the vase. Light blue calms the eyes and can be kept at a place receiving more sunlight. Pink on the other hand is a symbol of love and bring romantic feelings (some people feel the same with red). A good interior designer will tell you yo have more pinks and reds in bedrooms. Flowers should match the color of the vase. In some cases some contrast colors work just fine.
Do not paint all the walls with the same shade. Interior designers use darker or lighter shades to make things look more natural and pleasing to the mind.
Interior designing stresses the need of curtains for a house. A curtain with good flower designs and lighter shades of your favorite color look very good and beautify the interiors of your house.
Use incense sticks. The aroma makes you feel pleasant and lightens up the moods of all the family members. Room re-fresheners are also good yet I prefer a good incense stick as its aroma spreads throughout the house thus giving everyone a pleasant feeling.
Granite is better as compared to tiles. Interior designers will advise you to go for tiles as they are cheaper and do not make your legs to slip while you are walking. Marble is a good option but an experienced interior designer will not forget to tell you that it gets damn cold during winter times and hence it is better to avoid a floor of marbles.
Modern interior designers advise off-white shades as they are more pleasing and have a good convincing effect on everyones eyes. This is the same reason as to why people wear white shirts with black pants while going for an interview. Some people just hate a few colors. Hence it is always better to use good and pleasant off-white shades while painting the house.
Wardrobe should be purely your choice. After all you are the one to use the wardrobe and not your interior designer. The designing of the wardrobe should be completely done by you such that it suits your needs.
You may use any bed but be sure to choose proper bedsheets that match the theme of the room in which the bed is placed. Interior designers always suggest their customers to go for a double bed, though a few couple like it to have a smaller bed which keeps them together for a longer time!
Do not use fancy switch boards. they destroy the beauty of the interior decoration.
Decorated ceiling are the trend of the modern day. They are cheaper too.
A chandelier in the main hall is a basic necessity if you own a house. Even a simple and cheap one will do the trick for decorating the interior design of your house.

Use the comments section to tell others about any other interior designs that you prefer in order to beautify your house and make it the small little palace of the modern day.

Apple Macbook | Apple Macbook Laptops

2010-09-02T23:17:00.000-07:00

Apple Mac Laptops or notebooks are the trend of the day and there is no means that this blog on modern trends and technology can ignore the Apple Mac notebooks. Yes they are compact, they are cool and they are extremely safe for surfing the internet. This is a special post which will basically tell you which among the Apple Mac notebooks is an excellent choice. We all know this very well that Apple has three most popular Mac notebooks let us take a look around at each of its notebook's unique features.

Apple Macbook: Oh yes this is the one which can melt the most hard and rocky heart in this world.A good 13.3" display makes the Apple Macbook a sweet portable laptop notebook. A good core2duo processor drives the Macbook faster than a steed. Good designing and a beautiful user interface of the Apple Macbook makes people get tempted over it. The interface is clean. The only thing which you might be troubled with if you are new to Apple Macbook is the track-pad. There is no left click or right click button. There is one large track-pad which works with gestures and it works pretty well (that's why we love Apple). A good graphics card makes sure that the games and other multimedia stuff give you a good and decent graphics interface on the Apple Macbook notebook. 256MB DDR3 SDRAM NVIDIA graphics memory (shared with the main memory) along with a 2GB DDR3 SDRAM (can also be upgraded to 4GB) makes the Apple Macbook a special deal for a compact and powerful laptop notebook. 250GB hard disk drive runs at a speed of around 5400 rpm. Overall Apple Macbook is a special deal. But all this does not make the Macbook accessible to every man on the street. Apple Macbook is well priced according to its specifications. This Macbook from Apple comes in five unique flavors (hero1, hero2, hero3, hero4, hero5).
Apple Macbook Air: The Apple Macbook Air also comes with 13.3" screen and looks really really compact. This is a very very thin laptop notebook from Apple and serves the purpose of being called as Macbook Air. As the name states the Macbook Air is very light in weight. The minus point however is that the Macbook air is built with a SSD (solid state drive) drive. It also gives you the option of an external USB Macbook Air SuperDrive. The quality of the drives is excellent no doubt, the SSD's run like our flash drives. And there is no slot for putting a DVD or a CD into this computer. Is Apple crazy? No it is smart it includes a WiFi feature in its notebook using which you can easily access the DVD by running it in another device which has WiFi enabled in it. Some of you might not like the idea. But, the Macbook air is an ideal notebook for college students and journalists who need to carry a Notebook wherever you go. If you need an ultra compact notebook to carry along wherever you go the Macbook air is the laptop for you. And yes it comes with 2GB RAM and a 256 MB shared RAM for the NVIDIA graphics card processor. Of course this Macbook from Apple is really very costly and is a royal man's treat.
Apple Macbook Pro: Yep the Macbook Pro comes in different sizes ranging from a mere 13" to a larger sized 15" and the largest one of 17". Intel corei5 running at 2.53GHz speed and 3MB L3 cache (or a Intel icore7 of 2.66 GHz speed and 4MB L3 cache) makes this one a very snappy Macbook laptop notebook. The NVIDIA graphics processor now has 256MB GDDR3 RAM (some configurations also offer 512MB video RAM). There are many different configurations listed and they all are tempting me to put my hands on this wonderful laptop notebook from Apple's Macbook series. Even this one runs an SSD storage drive. This one has a drive for inserting and reading or writing DVD's. As the name indicates the Apple Macbook pro is definitely is a pro. It is just you who has to choose the right one which best suits your budget. It also has WiFi enabled which gives you a faster internet access to the WiFi modems.

All in all the Apple Macbooks notebooks are just fabulous (though they are a rich man's treat). Apple is a quality brand and will always be one. The Macbooks from Apple are a seperate niche and just cannot be compaed with any of our traditional and cheap laptop notebooks. Buy a Macbook only if you need one. there are many notebooks that can be used for showing off. But these Macbooks from Apple are power performers and run like the fastest laptop steeds with crackers tied on their tails. I will be back with a few more gadgets from Apple till then enjoy the specs reviews of the Apple Macbook laptop notebooks. Have a great Apple Macbook pro day. And yes none of the Apple Macbook laptops come at a rate of less than thousand dollars if you want the maximum out of it.

Get to know why people are crazy about the Apple brand

Apple A Niche Brand

2010-09-01T20:45:00.000-07:00

Apple has been a remarkable brand and has maintained its fame and love with its aficionados since ages together. Yes Apple has built a solid brand with its outstanding products. Never to forget the Apple i-Pods which brought magic into the ears of teenagers. Even today Apple is known for its outstanding products which literally have no competition. When it comes to rating products Apple is never mixed with products of other brands. Because Apple has built such a solid base for itself that its products belong to a completely different niche. Apple products are compared only with Apple products.

People who buy one Apple product keep on buying Apple products forever. Apple's i-Tunes, Apple's mobiles, Apple's laptops (these are the hottest deals around). With its difficult to hack operating system, Apple caught the attention of the internet surfers. Mobile or laptop or PMP3 players Apple has been leading the race with unique people which people fall in love with in a very less time.

The mobile market is now blooming with new Apple phones coming up with exciting new features at reasonable rates. Yes, Apple has built its brand. A brand which has negligible flaws. In fact the flaws are so negligible that Apple will never see a downfall from any products arising from its competitors. The buyers of Apple products are targeted loyal customers. They are always biased towards buying Apple products. Such is the magic of Apple. Thanks to Apple for giving us such wonderful products. Not to forget the Mac book air series which caught the audience by a storm.

Apple has built such a wonderful brand that one of the major flaws in its Apple iPhone4 was unable to bring a sour name to the sweet Apple. In fact Apple claims that Apple iPhone4 has been the best product that it has built so far. It seems that the engineers finished the product in a rush and hence the products testing engineers of Apple did not get a chance to do a complete detailed testing of the iPhone4. Though a simple solution masked the black spot on Apple, some of the Apple lovers really felt that their favorite brand had let them down with a flaw in their product. Apple by all means did all that it possibly could to gain the confidence of its aficionados. Apple lovers in India are awaiting the arrival of Apple iPhone4 in India. Let the world know how you like the Apple brand and its Apple branded products using the comments section.

Salman Khan Styles| Salman Khan Fashion

2010-08-26T02:45:00.000-07:00

Salman Khan us known for his unique styles. Salman Khan is very particular when it comes to style statements. Salman Khan's bracelet, his shirts, his body all have a different style statement. No wonder this unique style statement of his made Salman Khan the seventh handsome of the world in a very short span of time. Salman Khan's styles in his films were so diverse and tested that most of them became an instantaneous hit. Salman Khan's Tere Naam wig made his fans go all wild! Salman Khan has a style statement which everyone wants to copy. Even Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan did not match the style craze from their fans as was the case with Salman Khan's fans in the earlier days. You may also see which modern hairstyles and modern outfits are the latest trend of the day.

Salman Khan had shown his ruling style statement with his bald looks for the Coca-Cola ad. Even with a bald head Salman Khan stirred the airs of Bollywood and got much hype from all his fans. Salman Khan is fond of torn jeans. Be it a t-shirt or a formal shirt Salman Khan looks best in both (and also without both) because of his excellent body-fittings. Salman Khan has always been coming up with new and unique styles and this is what makes the girls go crazy about him. Remember the long haired Salman Khan in Andaaz Apna Apna? The pony tail hairstyle in Yuvraj was also a unique style statement that we got to see from our macho man Salman Khan.

In recent films like Veer and Dabangg Salman Khan is coming up with a few more unique and different styles. In Dabangg Salman Khan has said a temporary good bye to his abs and has tried to show a "tummy topped up with a mustache style of an Indian police officer" to the audience. We saw a different Salman Khan in Kyun Ki. No wonder he acted so well but Salman Khan had to face a few controversies which never let him succeed. One such controversy also tried to defame Salman Khan's blockbuster hit movie: Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? With Salman we are never bothered to wonder as to who has the greatest body in Bollywood?

One thing about Salman Khan which probably both his competitors could not digest was his stylish body. With a massive chest and well filled biceps Salman Khan is always fond of removing shirt and exposing his body in almost all his films. Even in crowded places Salman Khan was found pulling his shirt off and throwing it towards his die hard crazy fans. Though Salman Khan is always surounded with unique controversies his films are even today loved by one and all as the heroines are not much exposed in his films. Most of Salman Khan films are family entertainment films. There are already too many people doing extensive research on Salman Khan's Dabangg movie review. This time Salman Khan will be found in a completely different avatar. There are too many comments saying that he will be a super-hit this time. We just need to wait and see how this new avatar of Salman Khan will stir the airs of Bollywood at the box-office!

Future Of Technolgy

2010-08-22T08:33:00.000-07:00

Future Of Technology can be a very hard thing to decide upon. Technologies which were science fiction a few years ago have now become reality. With the processors (technology) getting powerful day-by-day technical gadgets have entered into dimensions which were never even thought of by our forefathers. In the past three decades technology has been showing us days which were just a dream a few decades. With the advancement in technology we are seeing its advantages and disadvantages too. Near are the days when the future of technology as dreamed by the scientists once upon a time will come into existence. Scientists have struggled for years together to see days when technology will become so powerful that scientists will not be left with any more work whatsoever. Well, then what is the future of technology?

The future of technology is very clear. With advancements in nanotechnology we will be able to see gadgets which seem a dream now. Live 3D online chatting on the cell-phone? No, instead I would say lie 3D chatting on a wrist-watch! Yes the Spy-Kids gadgets will come into action within the next few decades. We will find kids playing with gadgets which are completely automated.

There will be automatic robots, automatically controlled power systems. Even nuclear reactors will be controlled using robots. There will be plastic and plastic everywhere. Automatically fold-able furniture, an automatic robot which will clean the house, the furniture, the dishes and maybe even sing songs for you and change playlists just at the sign of your command. Such days are not far is what most of the advancements in technology are telling us.

The future of technology will also brig automated cars which will drive you safely from home to office and back home. Such automated high technology equipped cars will also be able to drive you to far off places and you can be so sure of the efficiency of the system that you can sleep till the destination arrives. Technology will also enable the car to wake you up once the destination arrives!

If all this looks amusing on one hand, on the other hand the future of technology brings fear to those who know about the banes of a fully developed technical world. Rich will become even more richer and comfortable with the advancements in technology, while the poorer will become even more poor. More machines means less number of laborers required (which saves on cost). Future advancements in technology will thus render many people jobless. Not just that but there will be a sudden disturbance in the balance of nature. Such highly advanced technology may bring days where there will be no more petroleum fuel left for transport. Abundant pollution will cause greater holes in the ozone layer thus increasing hazards of global warming.

Future of technology promises a very comfortable life no doubt, but, I personally think that technology is best what it is today. Future of technology should instead focus on bringing new vehicles and machines which are more eco-friendly and do not consume the non-renewable sources of energy. Recent surveys have estimated that by 2050 there will be no petrol left below the earth's crust: this eventually means that people will again have to stick to the traditional transportation sources: bullock-carts, walking, etc. Though the future of technology shows great advances geared towards one field more specifically: robotics. Future of technology also promises interactive gadgets and 3D projectors which will make one of the most awaited science fiction come true. But all this means more disk space in order to store several images for showing a 3D display. Recognizing this, Blu-ray technology discs will be developed such that a single disk will be able to store 1 TB of data, and I am not lying the research on this future technology is going on! To tell the world about your view about the future of technology please feel free to use the comments section.

Modern Trends For Students

2010-08-11T23:16:00.000-07:00

A modern student follows modern trends. This time modern trends and technology has come up with an unique solution for the students to get the modern trendy look they had always desired to have. Here is a quick guide which will help you achieve the results you have been searching for since a long time:

First and foremost you should have a well trimmed modern hairstyle which mark the trend of the day.
Next comes a pair of good leather shoes.
A good looking neatly combed trendy and fashionable hairstyle. Try to comb hairs like a few well-known celebrities do.
Buy the latest cutting-edge modern gadgets which will make you mark your presence. A good mobile phone and a modern laptop with a good configuration also help you mark your presence.
Sometimes "old is gold" statement stands true. Older trends can also be followed after all they were the trends which made people go crazy about them once upon a time.
Good neatly tucked-in shirt makes you look like the perfect modern gentleman. Do iron your shirts everyday.
A good tie which covers the buttons properly and has a well made knot will make you look clean and trendy.
Shave yourself once a week. At other times use a trimmer manage the growing beard if it does not look good. See shaving tips and tricks to avoid rough skin due to shaving.
In modern times girls and companies demand men who have clean shaved faces.
If your eyes get red due to some reason (in many cases it is pollution) consider buying a well designed spectacle or a trendy goggle. Frame-less spectacle does not look good on everyone even if it is the trend of the modern times.
A good and eloquent English will also help you make some real difference in the way you present things. Modern trends expect you to be competitive and well versed to steal the attention of the crowd.
Good ironed trousers are a must. Psychologists have shown that usually a girl looks at the shoes and the trousers of a guy before pursuing friendship with him.
Use brylcream if necessary to hold your hair intact if you have very silky and soft hair. Do not leave your hairs dry. A little oil or conditioner applied to the hair makes your hair look healthy and shiny.

Follow the above trends and stay happy.

How To Select A Good Raakhi

2010-08-11T22:54:00.000-07:00

Selecting a good trendy Raakhi could be a tough job if you do not have a good idea of the latest styles. Below I give a list of guidelines for selecting a good and trendy Raakhi:

The Raakhi should be stylish but not too much.
Try to select simple and beautiful ones which will look very good on your brothers' hand.
If you are searching for costlier Raakhis use the internet to order one.
Buy Raalkhis with flashy colors.
Bright colored Raakhis are good for swarthy hands whereas dark colored ones look good on brighter hands.
Sometimes Raakhis with Om or Ganesha or any such symbols can be used to make the occasion more remarkable and look more auspicious as it is supposed to be.
Some Raakhis have a decorated bob which is stitched to the thread. Avoid buying these as they will get damaged once your brother washes his hands.

With all the above guidelines buying a good Raakhi should be as simple as breathing air. Modern Trends and technology wishes all its viewers a very happy Raakhi festival. Happy Rakshabandhan.

Special Trendy Gifts For Rakshabandhan

2010-08-11T19:31:00.000-07:00

With the festival of Rakshabandhan arriving all the brothers and sisters are again put into the dilemma of choosing the best possible gift for their brothers and sisters. As usual I am here to help the Rakshabandhan brothers and sisters to buy the best possible gifts which will make the day of all boys and girls.

If you are a girl looking forward to buy a cool trendy gift for your brother I would suggest you to look out for cool trendy watches. Lifestyle has recently announced a good offer which gives you two excellent trendy watches just for Rs499. This gives you two good looking trendy watches for two brothers. In case you have only one brother you get an added advantage of gifting both the cool looking trendy watches to him so that he can choose any amongst the two cool watches for different occasions demanding different trends. If your brother is a college student consider gifting him a good rechargeable electric beard trimmer. These things can be kept lifelong and will remind your love to your brother when you are not with him.

If you are a boy looking for buying a gift for your dear sister there are many cool trendy chocolate packs available if your sister loves them. Other than that a make-up set (girls usually love this one) would also prove to be a cool trendy gift for your dearest sister. Buying teddy-bears is a bad idea. You need to gift something which is trendy and is of use for your sister. A good trendy watch is also a best buy. Girls love new clothes! But, make the occasion a bit more special by buying your sister something which she has never worn before. A cool trendy sari or a cool trendy chudidar should make the occasion even more special and auspicious. Choose gifts such that they shall bring tears in your sister's eyes. Even if you are the modern trendy cool guy there should be an Indian heart behind it to get something which your sister will love the most.

Modern trends and technology wishes you and your family a very very happy Rakshabandhan.

Passwords | Strong Passwords

2010-08-09T05:44:00.000-07:00

Creating strong passwords is a very tedious job if you are new to the internet. Though there are many people who can tell you about the various ways that you can use a strong password I can tell you about a few tricks using which you can create strong and easy to remember passwords.

Never create passwords that can be easily guessed. If you think that a password like benediction cannot be hacked you are wrong. Hackers use softwares which use every possible english word, phrase and even quotes to hack into user accounts. And finally do not use your phone number as a password.

Using capital words is a good password creating strategy. There are a few other techniques for writing strong passwords some of which include @,# and many such symbols that cannot be easily guessed. Using 7 for T and many such numbers instead of letters makes it pretty hard for the hackers to hack your password.

Use underscores in passwords if you like them. A password should be either very long or very tedious such that it is very difficult for everyone to remember it even if they see it. Creating strong passwords is a skill and you can use it very easily. Creating strong passwords is fun too. After creating a very strong non-hackable password you will feel very happy to have created one!

Strong passwords are generally required so as to ensure that your personal information never gets lost or in worse cases hacked! But still it is always required to have strong passwords for the day will surely come when you will be using credit cards to do online transactions. Using very strong passwords is mandatory if you do online transactions at all. if you have any further suggestions for others on how to design stronger passwords please use the comments section.

Hackers | Who Are Hackers?

2010-08-09T05:13:00.000-07:00

Who are hackers and how do they hack? Hackers are excellent computer programmers who use a very good and strong software like PERL or Python to steal (hack) important data from the internet or even a user's computer. What hackers are mainly interested is a fact that is unknown to many internet users.

A few hackers try to hack military databases and spend almost months together trying to crack the password code. Some other hackers are nasty people and try to steal porn content from other users. A few hackers hack into the bank accounts, wipe the money off the account and evacuate the place without leaving any traces behind. Yet other hackers hack articles from other webmasters who write too many posts everyday. Or worse they may hack into the blogger account of another blogger and change the password code thus getting a good website with high traffic for absolutely no effort.

The process of hacking is quite simple. Hackers send a piece of code called as Trojan (also called as horse) into the targeted computer.The trojan horse collects all the data while the system administrator connects to the internet. Thus when the user logs into his accounts the hackers hacks the data from the browser (either by collecting the information in the cookies or live with the help of the Trojan). That's it! A few days later the system administrator gets confused and thinks that there was some mistake done from him while entering the password. After repetitive trials the administrator finally gets to know that his account has been hacked. And the best way to retrieve it is to hack the computer of the hacker who has hacked his account!

The best way to stay safe from hackers is to delete the browser's browsing data as soon as the transactions are over. There is a small chip in the credit card which helps the hackers in cracking the password code. Destroy that chip and your account stays safe from hackers. Always use good and long passwords which are strong to hack. Do not store any personal information in the form of a password. A password which signifies lovers name, phone number, favorite celebrity number is dangerous. No strong and strange English dictionary words. There are automated softwares designed by hackers which use all the English words, quotes, etc to hack into the user accounts. Use the comments section to let others know about a few more hacker tricks and safety measures to avoid hackers from hacking important accounts.

Though there are a few controversies still troubling the actor it seems that he will get over every hurdle this time and will bring fame to the much awaited film Dabangg. The movie Dabangg will also be showing Salman Khan delivering awesome dialogues which will steal the hearts of the Indian audience.

There is power in the title (Dabangg), the hero and also in his heroic dialogues. Salman fans were happy with wanted and hence now the same director has come up with marvelous stunts in the new film Dabangg. This time we will see Salman Khan with moustaches (which might hurt the girls a little bit). His looks are absolutely malefic and will make the girls woo him in the theatres of Dabangg.

Salman is featured as a corrupt police officer from Bihar in Dabangg. Salman Khan has also lost his six-pack abs and has left behind his favorite good luck bracelet feroza as it did not suit the looks of the character. If you thought that Salman Khan is the hero of Dabangg let me warn you: he is not. He is a corrupt police officer known by the name Chulbul Pandey (also called as Robinhood Pandey in the film because of his excellence in aiming his gun to hit the target just like the old legendary archer Robin Hood did).

Rumors also stated that it was Salman Khan’s brother Arbaaz Khan (who is also a producer of the film) who made Salman Khan to lose his six pack abs. Slaman Khan was actually expected to show a belly in this film which was a mission absolutely impossible and hence the actor ended up losing his six-pack muscles for playing the role of Robinhood Pandey in Dabangg.

Salman Khan's fans are really very excited about the release of Dabangg and are confidently stating that “Dabangg will overpower the success of Wanted”. Salman Khan had helped his co-actress Sonakshi Sinha in her fitness training in order to get her into good shape during the shooting of Dabangg. Will "Dabangg" be a super hit film? Leave your answer behind in the comments section.

Apple iPhone4 Arriving In India

2010-07-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

The most controversial phone Apple iPone4 will now be arriving in India. And. This time it is Airtel which will be launching this latest product from Apple. The Apple iPhone4 has gone through a series of comments and controversies and has even made the Apple taste sour to the tongues of its owners.

The phone got sold like hot cakes in the market till a few customers claimed that the signal strength of the Apple iPhone4 died instantaneously when held in a particular manner with the left hand. This phenomenon was renowned as the Apple iPhone4's “death grip” problem and was overcome by the designers of Apple by covering the mobile with a simple casing.

Mr. Steve Jobs did not want to disappoint the customers who bought the Apple iPhone4 and hence declared that the company would freely give away free casings to the Apple iPhone4 customers and also led forth a series of various offers which would satisfy the customers. In fact he was so confident about the Apple iPhone4’s success that he declared a 100% money back guarantee to those who were unsatisfied with the Apple iPhone4 and were willing to somehow get rid of it.

The Apple iPhone4 looks very neat and is a high end phone which runs on the Google’s Android OS platform. Since the Apple iPhone4 caught fever, the DroidX mobile changed gears and started rolling off the shelves till the stocks were almost evacuated.

With special offers and flat 50% off discounts the DroidX mobile took every opportunity to finish the final lap first. Both the mobiles really have a tough competition depending on the plethora of varied features they provide to their owners.

In spite of all these happenings Apple still claims that the Apple iPhone4 is the best mobile it has ever manufactured till today. To make situations a bit more worse Apple claimed that the performance of every phone drops slightly when held in a particular manner near the antenna position. Other company mobiles have taken up the challenge to put down the claims laid forth by Apple. Do you think the DroidX had the advantage that the death grip issue of the Apple iPhone4 arrived at the same time? Do you think that other mobiles also have the same problem as the Apple iPhone4? Do you think that Apple's claim saying that every mobile faces the same problem as the Apple iPhone4 to a certain amount? Please express your opinion on the Apple iPhone4 issue and the above questions in the comment section.

Kingston 120 Data Traveller 8 GB Pendrive Review

2010-07-18T00:49:00.000-07:00

Before buying any pendrive please do remember that it is obsolete to buy a 16GB pendrive. There are many computers with outdated configurations which will not support these pen drives. So, if you plan to buy one, drop the idea now itself. Coming to the Kingston 120 data traveler 8GB flash pen drive: please do not take the performance specifications so seriously. Many technology magazines will give you too many technical details which do not bother the common user at all. The time taken to transfer files is useful only to compare the technology that rests under the cover of two different pen drives. The data transfer time may vary slightly in two pen drives of same storage capacity. But this doesn’t cause much difference.

The storage capacity of the Kingston is 7.45GB in practice. Though the ergonomics of the pendrive tells us very clearly that it is built to last long. The Kingston pendrives do not come with outdated weak caps as the Transcend pen drives do. The Kingston pen drives usually use a sliding push button which is used for popping out the mouth of the pendrive which is connected to the USB port. The storage space of the pendrive is usually low because the storage space specified is measured using analog systems. When the pen drive is thrust into the computer the computer reads the storage space in terms of bits and bytes which makes the computer to read a storage space which is less than that specifies by the manufacturer.

The ergonomics of the pen drive is pretty good and makes sure that the drive is capable of withstanding various shocks that it is being subjected to. The overall performance of the drive is pretty good. And I recommend it to anyone who wants to buy one. Do not bother about the file transfer speeds and other test which are run by the technical magazines. They are usually done because the magazines have to choose one among the many products as the best ones. They do not much bother the user experience as far as I have tested the drives. The Kingston 120 Data Traveller 8BG pen drive is definitely here to stay. Even if Transcend pen drive gives you a few more MB’s of space they are physically very poor and are found to be rendered useless if the computer it is being used with is not grounded properly. The problems are pretty less with the Kingston pendrives. Kingston also states that some space is used up by the pen drive to ensure safety and to run applications. Some part of the drive is probably used to make speed transfers faster as it probably acts like a cache. To take a look at the pendrive click here

ISRO satellites

2010-07-18T00:08:00.000-07:00

ISRO the Indian Space Research Organization makes the Indians proud by showing its advancements and improvements in the space research field. Indians were the first ones to have proved that the surface of the moon is not overheated and dried due to the sun’s heat which was a misconception ruling many human brains!

With so many satellites launched India is still having a budget which is only 1/20th the budget used by the American Government for the satellite launching organizations. And yet, India has moved a step further by showing the involvement of the IIT students of Kanpur and Mumbai in the improvement in the design of the nano and pico satellites.

With all these advancements India is now witnessing a good weather forecast. With the help of satellites it has become possible for the infrastructure management department to view the advancement in the road constructions of India. India is also witnessing too many TV channels as a byproduct of these powerful satellites which are revolving around the earth all the time. And not to forget the GPS system which we are using on our mobiles to help us when we seem to have been misguided in our directions.

Indian satellites are strong enough to capture good quality photographs of the earth surface and help the Indians stay updated with useful predictable information. A fisherman can now know the places where water reservoirs are present. The banks are also relying heavily on the satellites to stay connected 24x7 with the latest changes in the accounts of their customers. ATM’s are also depending on the satellites to maintain their database and also register the transaction occurred with the respective bank.

In fact India is one of the most qualified Asian countries when it comes to satellite designing and launching. The news that IIT Kanpur’s project satellite Jugnu (a small nano satellite) has been approved and that the satellite will be launching in a month or two makes the Indian’s proud of its educational heritage than ever before. The students were also awarded an international award “Hans Von Muldau” from the International Astronautical Federation for their contribution in the project.

Apple iPhone4 Problem Solved

2010-07-17T22:41:00.000-07:00

The Apple iPhone4 customers have finally heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the plethora of options laid forth by Steeve Jobs:

• The customers who have bought the Apple iPhone4 will be given a free casing which solves the signal reception problem of the iPhone4. Follow this link for more information on the death hold problem of the antenna of Apple iPhone4.

• Those customers who have already bought a casing will be refunded the amount they paid for it.

• If the customers aren’t still satisfied with the product, they have the option to get their money back and leave the phone! This tells us how much faith Apple has on its iPhone4.

• A software update has been released which will be available for download to all the iPhone4 users. This software fixes the bugs of the problematic signal reception indicator and many other calculation problems which the earlier algorithm was ineffective at.

Believe it or not, but, even after all this Apple states the iPhone4 to be its best product ever released. Jobs told the media that only a very small percent of the users had reported the problem of the signal reception death due to holding the iPhone4 in a particular manner with the left hand.

It somehow seems that the iPhone4 issue was unnecessarily hyped a lot by the media. The panicked iPhone4 users have now heaved a sigh or relief after seeing the list of options ruled out by the company. Apple has seriously considered its reputation in order to convince its customers.

Some webmasters called this a non-technical solution. But, if a big problem can be solved with the help of a simple solution, why bother about the technical solution? Apple surely will not be able to reach each and every iPhone4 handset to tweak its IC. Please remember that this offer is valid throughout the month of September. The iPhone4 will be entering India after September and the Indians are still in a fix to see if they will also be given the same provisions as the present customers are getting. With so much of fuss it really does not become evident as to whether it really was a great technical problem or just another media hype to make the Ezines more popular with much hot news.

Modern Students And Their Minds

2010-07-17T02:28:00.000-07:00

In Modern times, the education trends have changed a lot. There was a time when getting a degree was more than enough to get a good job. There were times when students were not even asked for a photo proof in their hall tickets, but now the trends of education have changed and so have the students. Everything is based on competition. Parents demand good scores from their children. But, it is disheartening to say that the students, though, score well in their curricular subjects are far away from understanding them. With the introduction of the notes system students have stopped studying text books. The whole world has become “score” and “competition” oriented. All that the students are bothered about in these modern times is the marks and the grades.

Understanding a subject is important no doubt. But, the students have their own reasons for memorizing text without bothering to know the matter which is dealt with in the text book. I was shocked to see engineering students crossing the red mark by memorizing a subject like mathematics! The not only passed the subject but also scored a good 70+ in it! Though these students somehow manage to clear their degree with an A+ grade marks card, they often fail as successful technical engineers. After the havoc created by the recession times, students are now looking forth to get placed in a permanent government job. And as the trend says: getting a good Government job requires you to get a good marks card with overflowing marks which reach the limit of the skies.

Recent surveys state that most of the students who are brought up in villages prefer getting placed in a Government job. While the ones who are brought up in towns and villages prefer going for private jobs even if it poses the risk of being thrown out by the company during the harsh recession times. Surveys have also stated that students scoring very high marks have a temporary memory which stores things quickly for a short period of time and deletes the matter even more quickly once the exam is over. Average students were found to have a greater depth in the subjects and were also found to have a strong and permanent memory which made them remember things for a long period of time! But, how is this possible?

The answer is quite simple. Most of the average level students section is made up of candidates who read the text, understand the matter and write the answers in the examination papers in their own words. Whereas the ones who score higher, memorize the text books and aim at putting other students behind them in the examination. And hence, most of the students who score a higher percentage are many times unaware of the actual matter which they had memorized from the text books during the examinations. And thus, after this clarification, it is quite obvious to see the average student being placed in very good companies and giving a tough competition to everyone in his professional field.

That being said, the students who have their heads immersed inside the text books are afraid of examinations and hence they revise the same text again and again to make sure that they do not forget anything. Though such students do score high they do not have any innate knowledge of the external world whatsoever. Such students know the world through the books and hence are found lacking good jobs even if their marks cards show the interviewers a brighter curricular performance. Usually these students are found to go for higher studies after unsuccessfully searching for a good job. Reason being they find themselves completely useless as they know not a pinch about whatever is going on around them in this beautiful world which seems to be stranger than a stranger to them. Although, a Government job is always easily available to these students on the basis of their outstanding marks scored.

Quite surprisingly students who read newspapers and are well versed in English quite often stammer when they are asked to perform or give a presentation on a bigger platform facing a huge audience. On the other hand guys who actively participate in sports and other extra-curricular activities show a good performance on a big platform where they get the opportunity to address and present their skills to a wider audience.

Coming to the last category: the students who show a below average performance. Please do remember: “a student has failed many times in his college days or school days” does not mean that the student is weak in studies. This is a major misconception and has to be clarified. The students who score poor marks are of many types. Either they are not interested in the subjects they have chosen, or they might have wanted to join some other course but were forced by their family members to pursue their studies in the course that they are undertaking. In some cases a student does not study just because he is so sharp that the knowledge in the text books seems obsolete and dry to him. A student may be bright but will be having poor concentration due to the habitat he is living in or may be due to his poor nutrition value supported eating lifestyle. Some students are just ignorant and do not take studies seriously at all. One among many factors may make a student to perform poorly. Students who became good mathematicians in their future had failed in math many a times in their lives! This itself tells us that a student whose performance is poor is either too sharp or either too dull. Believe it or not, but, it is this category of students who actually set up industries and companies. One successful project is more than enough to stir the lifestyle of these students. So be careful while deciding a student on the basis of his marks cards. Often these students have a very high grasping power and are found to finish a very complicated subject within a single night and are also found to pass the subject. Such students do not go for higher studies. They will step in for very small jobs at the beginning and then steer their way clear into the bigger companies to get hefty payouts provided they dream of getting a job.

Presently these are the various mindsets of the modern students as observed by me.

Droid X sold out like hot cakes

2010-07-16T09:48:00.000-07:00

The new mobile by the name Droid X from Motorola being sold out in the Verizon Wireless retail stores is now catching the crowd by storm due to the problems filed against the Apple iPhone4. Reports show that this new mobile which has entered the market is being sold out like hot cakes. It seems that Motorola and Verizon will take full advantage of the situation at hand. Reports are stating that Motorola and Verizon are advertizing their mobile hard enough to break the record set forth by the Apple iPhone4 whose sales are seeing a descending ramp due to the death grip phenomenon occuring in it which makes its signals die down once the mobile is held in a particular manner. For more details on Apple's iPhone4 click here

The Droid X features the following specifications:

1. The Verizon online stores gave the buyers a flat 100$ discount, which meant that the 200$ mobile could be bought at a crash price of 100$. Reports state that most of the shops are running out of stock or are having very less number of spare pieces left.

2. Droid X is built around a solid 1GHz processor which is ready to give you a snappy and fast paced interface.

3. Droid X runs on the latest Android 2.1 platform which is developed and rolled out by Google.

4. The Droid X features an awesome 8MP camera!

5. Unfortunately Droid X comes with the Anti-Hack and Brick warnings. Its meaning is given below:

Reports state that if you try to install Android 2.2 OS on your mobile phone, the phone will be rendered useless. Thus you need to be pretty careful and a bit more of a hacking geek if you wanna play with this newcomer. There is a chip placed in the mobile which runs only on Google's Android 2.1 OS. So be careful before trying to play games with the Droid X mobile which comes with a non-replaceable OS.

Epic the first Indian Browser

2010-07-16T06:13:00.001-07:00

The Software Engineers of the silicon valley have made the Indians proud with the release of their first ever Indian browser. The Epic browser being designed in Bangalore by a company called as "Hidden Reflex" is built on the Mozilla platform. Epic has too many themes that can be applied to suit the character of every user. There are applications along the side strip which give many options to the users of Epic to choose from. Epic is built to do virus scans of the webpage on the go and is also said to protect the users from phishing attacks.

The interface of Epic is quite easy to handle and makes browsing a new experience to its users. The default theme though does not seem to be so cool for the eyes to accept so easily, can however be customized using the plethora of other choices available. The applications which are placed along the side bar of Epic when clicked will open up a widget like window for its users. One can open only one widget in one window. The browsing speed of Epic is acceptable and gives you a good and unique feel. Epic however is more concerned with the privacy of its users. A single click history delete and many other options make it tempting to give this one a try. The applications in Epic can be customized by the user to meet his/her need.

That being stated the browser is really made for the Indians and by the Indians. How would a browser supporting 12 Indian languages sound? And all this is topped up with what an Indian wants the most: information about the current happenings in a cricket match through a cricket commentary, TV, News and much more options which make Epic a unique, funky and fun to hang around browser for the Indians. Twitter and Facebook are also accessible from the side bar of Epic. I gave it a try and am pretty happy with its performance. We can at least be assured that there will not be many hackers trying to drill a hole into this newcomer as yet. Though the fact that it is built on the Mozilla platform thus give the thieves a small clue. Give Epic a try and you will feel some change in he browsing platform. The release of Epic calls up for a celebration time in India.

The Solution To Apple iPhone4 Antenna Troubles

2010-07-16T05:40:00.001-07:00

Apple will be soon discussing a possible solution for the antenna trouble complaints lodged by many of its Apple iPhone4 users. The Apple iPhone4 made a very good sale and brought very good profit for Apple until this bug was reported. The issue states that whenever a user covers the Apple iPhone4 at a particular spot, the strength of the signal reduces drastically giving poor signal reception which is bothering the Apple iPhone4 users since the past few days. According to Apple this isn’t a major problem and exists with every other mobile phone. Though, the intensity of signal draining is felt to be very high in the case of Apple iPhine4. This report has been confirmed after doing a few performance tests and technical tests to analyze the situation.

Apple is taking the matter pretty seriously. It is being said that Apple will make its users buy a casing which will improve the performance of the Apple iPhone4. Apple also reports that the signal indicator is not being programmed properly and hence such issue might be arising. Though, it has been observed that if a casing is used, the signal reception strength does not drain even if the user holds his hand near the spot where the antenna receives its signals.

Apple is presently having a meeting in which this issue will also be pondered over, is what a few sources have, to say. Though, it has been found that this problem will persist with only a few people who touch the signal reception spot while holding the mobile talking to someone. Some people in fact state that they were still not being able to recognize the spot closing which the signal reception of the phone would become poor. Most of the other mobiles never show such a misbehavior even if they are held near the signal reception area. We just have to wait and see the solution that apple will possibly come up with for its Apple iPhone4 users.

The Power Of Positive Thinking

2010-07-16T04:48:00.000-07:00

For a person who has an attitude of thinking positive, sky is the limit. A person with positive attitude can break all the shackles of this modern society and transcend to a level where he becomes so confident that he gets ready to take the bull by its horns. There are many reasons why a person who has such a strong attitude might be broken due to reasons innumerable. It is always found that: tougher the person, the greater will be the pain of failure faced by him. It is quite natural to fail. But, the attitude of positive thinking should not be given up. Yes, positive thinking is a great power. It rests with people who understand their responsibilities. The power of positive thinking is undoubtedly an unique gift and is gifted to very few people. The lifestyles of Lal Bahadur Shastri and Sir Abraham Lincoln make a common man shiver while looking at the positive attitudes of these great people. Mahatma Gandhi was another person who took the lashes of the British hunter on himself and never budged till the British officer succumbed and asked for forgiveness. Yes, all these were great people. They lived with low salaries and worked harder than what they ate. And a peep into the biographies of these great people tells us the number of times they failed in their lives. But, finally even success had to succumb its ego and knock the doors of these great people by looking at their tremendous positive attitudes which showed a robust and balanced mind which was stable enough to sustain the whips of failure.

Positive attitude is nothing but the quality of sustenance, sustenance of failure, triggered with the willingness to succeed. There are many examples which can teach us how to build up a mental attitude which will help us fight our way through the crowds. Whenever a person feels like doing anything important which will be of use to the nation and the people around him, he finds that the whole society stands against him. But a man has to remember that an aero plane flies only when it runs against the winds. A person with positive attitude never thinks about the consequences that may arise when he undertakes an important work. He just works and is never bothered about the result. In India there are a few people who call themselves as Karma Yogies. These people just do their work and do not bother themselves about the fruits that may result as a gift to their hard work. They leave the decision of fruits in the hands of God almighty and work hard all day long without keeping any expectations in their mind in return for their hard work.

It is quite surprising to see the harsh and determined positive attitudes of Bhagat Singh and his comrades in the Indian freedom struggle. The way they sustained the lashes of the British and went on a hunger strike for a time period which was never attempted ever before by any Indian. They say that an Indian martyr had cut his tongue with his own teeth so that the British should no longer ask him about any of the activities being undertaken by the Indian activists. This entire attitude comes from a brave heart. A brave heart, which rests beneath the chest of every positive thinker. They did all this just because they had a positive attitude towards their life. They had a feeling that the Indians will definitely get their freedom someday and they all fought hard to make that day come true as early as possible.

It is not surprising to see that the positive attitude does not come so easily to a person who has never failed before. A scholar never becomes a scholar unless he fails in solving a problem. Failure is required to bring success in one’s life. The biography of Sir Abraham Lincoln should be helpful to build a positive attitude within a person who has lost all hopes in his life. There are many failures around you. You just need to open your eyes and you will be amazed to see that every person fails many a times in his life. The topper of a class though well versed in technology fails to impress an interviewer for he does not pay attention to the other sources of knowledge that are surrounding him. In fact, a person who is very good in one field is worse in many others. If a person thinks that he has failed and can do nothing more in is life is usually wrong while thinking so. And he understands this point only after he gains success.

Doesn’t matter how many times you fail, you need to sustain the fall get up and again get ready for another war. Failing is not a matter to be felt ashamed over. It has to be faced. It is only when you look face to face into your failures that you get the power to face it. A tiny person can kill a huge devil with the help of a single small weapon: a sling shot. And we all know these stories which were told to us to build our positive attitudes. The supernatural force called God is praised by every person with a positive attitude so that He may give him courage enough to fight against the evil. There has to be some reason why the creator created us and sent us on this beautiful earth. Search for that reason and see positive things in every failure that comes your way. In fact failure gives you another opportunity to fight. And as history reveals: a wounded lion is twice as harmful and fierce than a healthy one. Have that positive attitude and you will be surprised how things work out your way.

Modern Hairstyles For The Cool Guy

2010-07-16T02:14:00.000-07:00

There are many modern hairstyles to drive people absolutely crazy. But, usually short and medium hairstyles look more decent and are much more manageable as compared to the other hairstyles. Long hair is not a good option if you are working in India. The long hairstyles have entered the film industry but they haven’t obsessed the common man as yet. You may also prefer to see the modern outfits for men and youth which when coupled with these hairstyles can make everything work in your favor. You may also like to read modern trends for students.

Punk hairstyle: This is the most unusual hairstyle which is usually found among men who belong to a traditional sect. with hairs shooting out like the spikes in the crown of the statue of Liberty these guys have long straight standing spikes above their head. People with such hairs steal the show wherever they go. You need a few unique products to keep the hair as they are. Some also color their hairs to match the occasion they are exposed to.

The Faux hawk hairstyle: This hairstyle is usually found among the football players. The best one sported by our favorite David Beckham. This is also like the punk style but is not pulled to the extreme. Hairs are just made to stand up straight in the middle and are combed down on both the sides. Looks good with some but is still not so widely adopted by the common man.

Bald hairstyle: Again the soccer players made the crowd feel that a bald head looks better and much modern. It was well known Salman Khan style once upon a time in India. And now with the release of Ghajini youngsters have stuck to the hairstyle of the psycho who had temporary memory loss. Quite surprisingly it looks much better with a few guys.

Ponytail: This style has been promoted much by the actors as well as the soccer stars. We saw David Beckham, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan also adopting this hairstyle in quite a few films. The hairstyle looks much clean and sophisticated and needs minimum of your care to keep it intact.

Long free flowing hairstyle: This is the best hairstyle and is much adored by the girls. Usually looks good on guys with straight hairs which are combed stepwise down their head. If made too long, guys comb their hair and weave them like the Indian mothers. Looks good, but is meant for girls and hence it can be avoided by guys. Free flowing medium hairs are excellent for people with short hairs.

Curly hairs: Ever since the Spanish actor Antonio Banderas entered Hollywood curly hairstyles started seeing a new dawn. The actor gave quite good looks with his medium curly hairs which add to his beauty and make him look like an absolute cool and modern guy. Above all, his hairstyles are easier to follow and can be the hot cake of every youngster with curly hair. Curly hairs are considered to be lucky among the Indians. In fact one of the Indian deities called Sri Krishna who was prince charming in the earlier days had long black curly hairs which gave him the name: “Keshav” which means a guy with long and beautiful hair. People with curly hair often fight with their hair to straighten it by applying all sort of hair styling products that are available in the market. Combing the hair properly without applying much pressure on them or forcing them can give very neat and good looks.

The spike cut: This is one of the hairstyles which has caught the Indians by a breeze. Ever since Aamir Khan introduced his short hairstyle in the film Dil Chahta Hai Indians have been hound playing around with the spikes on their head. Usually people with short hairstyle prefer shaping their hairs in the form of spikes just above the forehead. The plus point of this hairstyle is that it needs very little maintenance. Best for teens as it does not need much combing and also looks quite natural.

The straight hairs with bangs: Leonardo Dicaprio is the one who showed the power of straight hair with side-swept bangs. This guy really set the whole world on fire with his thrilling looks and acting in Titanic. What most appreciated was his cool hairstyle. I personally feel that if you have straight hairs you can follow this star to find a cool unique hairstyle for yourself. The hairstyle of Tom Cruise in MI2 is also worth giving a look as it had caught the whole world with a burning desire to have such a hairstyle. Many girls are crazy even today for guys with such an unique and neat looking hairstyle.

Modern Trends | Modern Times

2010-07-16T01:43:00.000-07:00

The modern trends are mostly set by people who have reached the pinnacle of success in their lives. Undoubtedly film actor and actresses are also a part of this. But, modern trends are the trends set by the youth which make a person get reckoned as the modern technical geek who is always sought after by the society. Let us take a deeper look at what the modern trends have brought on stage for us.

What are the modern trends being followed by people all around this world? When the word modern comes to our mind the first thing which pops up along with it is the modern technology. Yes, technology is the first advancement made by this modern society, as also, technology is the main demand of this modern society. It is required that a youngster stays updated with the latest happenings in the field of technology in order to put behind the other competitive teens far behind him. Technology has a major role in shaping the courier of a youngster. Modern trends demand a youngster to be a computer geek. It is necessary that you know thoroughly about the various softwares that are used within a computer. Knowing MS Word, MS Excel and Power Point thoroughly are the bare requirements of the day. To keep up with the modern trends you have to know a few basic technologies that are used in the modern smart phones. A basic idea of the principle used behind the latest technology will help you in many interviews to grab the vacant post. At least an idea about what are the various technologies and what are the basic principles which are used in order to achieve the task are necessary to show an interviewer that you are the technical geek of the modern trends. A good modern mobile equipped with the latest cutting-edge technology and a modern trendy laptop also give a good touch to your personality.

Another most important thing which pops up into my mind when it comes to modern trends is the outfits. Your latest modern outfits should be decent if not fashionably modern. Your outfit should prove to others that you are a respectable person in the society and that you are well aware of the trends being followed by the modern geeks. A formal dress when utilized properly and topped with an added benefit of a cool modern hairstyle can get you a job even if you do not perform much well in the interview. It is attitude that the interviewer searches within you. There are many monkeys with good degree certificates. But a piece of paper does not make anyone capable of undertaking a responsible task. If you are still thinking that a degree certificate showing good marks builds your reputation you are definitely mistaken my dear friend. A degree is just to show that you have successfully completed a course. An engineer with 35% marks is also an engineer and so is a person with 90% score sheet resting in his file. There are many cases where average students have outranked the above average students in terms of intelligence and smart performance. You need to know a few things out of the text book in order to lead the race.

The next thing is your character. Behave like a gentleman. Speak a little but do not become insular. If you do not get involved in a meeting people will never know the real you. In order to prove your smartness you need to speak. In these modern times a technical geek who is well versed and is sharp in making remarkable points wins the race with much ease as compared to someone who tries to rush like a mad bull and take every other bull by his tough horns. So try to avoid becoming a bull. Respect others and others will respect you. Quite surprisingly this mantra works even in these modern times where people seem to have lost their conscience. The ‘give respect take respect’ strategy seems to work even today.

Another thing which will give you the perfect modern feel is the touch of humor. Even in business meetings people make things much interesting with their much of intelligent intellectual words of humor. Humor makes boring things much interesting for others to hear. People have had too many text books and are fed up of them by the time they join a company. If you give text book like lectures in your presentations people are sure to doze off. So avoid seriousness as much as possible. A few formal jokes which will be appreciated by the audience are good to mark your presence as a modern cool geek.

Modern trends demand guys to have short hairs and a clean shave. It is always better to stay trimmed as it makes you look cool and smart. Sophisticated hairstyles are adored and also make a guy look professional. No faux hawk hairstyle in office. Your boss may accept it, but it does not look professional. Many employers hate such hairstyles and also reject many candidates on this sole basis. A good outfit should be decent enough to be accepted by everybody. No showing off. This may satisfy your ego, but time has revealed that candidates who show off are often found in trouble due to their bosses. In short the modern trends demand you to be the Mr. Perfect. How you achieve this, is left up to you.

And finally the greatest and immediate demand of the modern trends is a guy who is completely aware of the latest events going on around the globe. It has been found that serious topics are often discussed by interviewers in their interviewing sessions and the interviewees are put into a dilemma as they do not understand what should be the proper solution to the controversy at hand. It is often found that whenever someone reads a controversy he/she thinks of a possible solution to it. So if such a controversy (which has been earlier studied by you) is brought into focus you can outsmart the other candidates by showing them your unique thinking skills which are appreciated by everyone other than your foes.

So keep up with modern trends and become a cool modern technical geek in no time.

How To Choose A Mobile Phone

2010-07-16T01:36:00.000-07:00

It is better to ponder over this question before going to a mobile shop. How do you actually choose a mobile? The first thing you need to confirm is the reason why you need a mobile phone. With the increasing number of a variety of mobile users, the mobile companies will give you different mobile phones which suit the tastes of random characters. All you need to do is choose a mobile phone that well suits your needs. Some mobiles are built to give you a good music experience while some others give you a good internet speed. With so many types and varieties of mobiles and mobile companies it makes you get even more confused over how you can shoose a mobile phone that best suits your needs. With so many options available you need to first decide the reason for buying a mobile. The question isn’t ‘how to choose a mobile’; it is ‘why do you want a mobile’. If you need a mobile just for calling someone or messaging on the go you do not need a high-fi mobile phone whose applications will never be used by you. You will simply be wasting your money trying to buy a smart phone which does not help you much with your purpose of buying a phone.

Always keep the following things in mind before choosing to buy a mobile phone:

• If you want to use your mobile phone as a walkman in order to keep yourself connected with music 24x7, you need to choose the walkman series mobile phones from any brand. These mobiles are specially built to give you good music performance. Mind you, the advanced cutting edge technology adopted in the modern mobiles has now made 3D surround sound flowing from the mobile earphones into your ears. In case you are not satisfied with the output quality of the sound try it with a different earphone from a reputed earphone company before choosing to buy a mobile phone. Do test the sound quality before buying it. Some earphones will not work properly with the driver of your mobile phone. So it is best to ask your friend if he has a good quality earphone (like the ones provided by Bose and Creative) and test the mobile phone with it before choosing to buy it.

• The phones with a well laid out QWERTY keypad with EDGE and CDMA2000 support are purely business phones and are mostly used as PDA’s and for live mobile conferences. You need not choose one if you do not want a PDA with a high end 3G mobile connection.

• If you want 3G internet connectivity, choose a mobile phone which supports CDMA and EGPRS (also called as EDGE) technology. This boosts the performance of the mobile thus yielding you a greater internet browsing experience.

• Always ask the vendor to show all the mobiles that fall under a price range. This will give you various options to choose from. Many a time we choose a mobile and buy it, and when we see another funky looking set with great features lying within the same price tag in our friend’s hand, we awe ourselves for buying a stupid mobile phone which gives us no space to express ourselves.

• Choose a mobile phone which is a bit funky looking. Always make it a point to roam at least three to four mobile shops before choosing and buying a mobile phone. Take a look at the price tags of the same mobile at various places. This will ensure that you do not get cheated by any mobile vendor. A mobile can no doubt be bought at a price much cheaper than what you could possibly think of. Always choose to buy a mobile at a few hundred bucks less than the price set by the vendor. A bargain to achieve a discount will not hurt the vendor. The best option is to choose and buy a mobile form a good branded showroom.

• Always take a look into the technical details of a mobile on the internet before choosing to buy one. Do not forget to check for complaints that are logged against the mobile. Complaints if any should pop up into the starting ten pages in the search results of Google. You can try searching for “mobile name”+“bugs” in the search box. Use various synonyms and try to find out if the users using the particular mobile model are facing any problems with the functions of the mobile phone before choosing to buy it.

• Never forget to ask for the warranty and guarantee certificates. Some vendors avoid giving these. Do insist that you want one or else leave the shop right away.

• A China mobile will not have warranty or guarantee of any sort in a country other than China. Choose these cutting edge technology equipped mobiles only if you can maintain it properly.

• Touch screen technology equipped mobiles are a boon as well as a bane so be careful before choosing to buy a touch-screen enabled mobile phone. If on one a capacitive touch screen responds faster to a finger touch, it also makes it difficult for you to scroll through a list of songs or any other menu on the other hand. Choose mobiles which have a separate scrolling button near the edge to help you scroll through the menus. Resistive touch screens demand you to apply more pressure to make it work and are not as sensitive as the capacitive touch screen mobile phones. But scrolling without a scroll button near the edges is much easier in them. Do remember that capacitive touch screens do not work with all styluses. The stylus in a capacitive touch screen mobile is a good conductor of electricity and hence cannot be replaced by a plastic stylus. On the other hand a resistive touch screen can work with any stylus. Capacitive touch screens will not allow you to place any available protection cover on its surface other than the costly and thin good conducting metallic protective layer. A resistive touch screen mobile will adjust with any protective cover. It is always a good idea to avoid using a stylus in a resistive touch screen to scroll through the menu. This will leave harsh scratches on the protective layer. Be careful before choosing a mobile with touch screen. Touch screen mobiles are made to make internet browsing an evergreen experience.

• Make sure that the navigation keys are convenient to use before buying your mobile. If you are a SMS addict choose mobile with larger number keys. QWERTY keyboard is good only if it comes sliding out as in Nokia N97. If it is adjusted below the screen of a bar shaped mobile using the keypad is generally a pain in the neck if you have short fingers.

• If you want a mobile phone with a good camera you should and must choose to buy a Sony Erricson mobile phone. Time has proved that these mobile phones deliver the best cameras which give good and crisp photographs of excellent quality. The same holds good if you want to buy a good walkman mobile phone.

That being said, choosing the right mobile is still in your hands. Preventing mobile hacking is another issue which has to be pondered over depending on which you can choose the mobile phone you want with a robust operating system. Do not let any opportunity make you repent for choosing a mobile which did not give you something that you wanted the most. If you have any suggestions for others to help them choose a better mobile the comments section is open for one and all.

GPRS | What is GPRS

2010-07-16T01:33:00.000-07:00

GPRS is the attribution for General packet radio service. This is usually found in 2G mobile phones. The main purpose of GPRS is to make data transfer faster and more accurate. As the name indicates in GPRS data is transferred in small packets in parallel data transfer ports. Usually many GPRS phones have multiple slots. The number of slots will range from 2 to 5. Usually the timeslots are divided for either uploading or downloading purposes. If the user is downloading some data the number of timeslots that are allocated for uploading are minimized and the number of slots used for downloading the data are increased thus giving a faster browsing experience.

EGPRS (also known as EDGE the synonym for enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) stands for enhanced GPRS and makes the data transfer more faster by using enhanced coding techniques which allows greater transmission rates. And this is what brings the speed of 3G to our modern gadgets. With EGPRS you can do live video chatting. EDGE is usually three times faster than GPRS.

The fastest speed that can be achieved through the GPRS service is 80kbps. There are separate coding schemes which can give you variable speeds depending on the number of timeslots being used. Generally the fastest speed that a mobile having 5 timeslots will give is up to 80kbps but practically the speed will be up to 40kbps. Thus the maximum speed per timeslot will be 18-20kbps. Whereas an EGPRS enabled mobile will give you up to 230kbps and you may expect a practical speed of 180-200kbps.

Whereas CDMA 2000 is another technology which will allow several users to share a bandwidth of various frequencies. Thus various users can be multiplexed over the same channel. The modulated coded signal will have a much higher bandwidth than the data which is being communicated. Thus this means a more faster working mobile with the processing capabilities of the processor remaining the same.

Modern outfits for cool college boys

2010-07-10T00:19:00.000-07:00

• Kurta with jeans: This sounds outdated but is the latest trend followed by the Mumbaikar’s. Even Puneities and Bangloreans have been found to adore this outfit which gives them an Indian look along with the comfort and style of a jeans pant. Some youngsters adore wearing bell-bottom or boot-cut style wrinkle-free pants along with the kurtas. A good modern hairstyle with such an outfit makes the whole city turn around to see the golden guy.

• Short-kurta with jeans: This is another outfit that best marks the presence of a balanced youth. The only hassle is in selecting the short-kurtas. Some make you look fat while others make you look thin. Choosing the right short-kurta for your physique needs a little bit of expertise in clothes shopping. Kurtas with a little style look lot more better than those that are over-studded with embroidery and other such stuff making it look like a women’s fancy wear.

• T-shirt with jeans: This combination should always be complemented with a stylish digital watch and good quality modern sandals which are simple and posh to look at. A modern and cool Digital wrist watch in fact is the best suited add-on for this outfit. T-shirts should definitely be stylish and should well fit your physique. If you are have a short stature do not forget to tuck your T-shirt into the pant. To cover it all up you need to have a cool buckle bearing belt which makes the tucked T-shirt look like a casual outfit. A cool pair of goggles give you the exact looks that you intend to present to the crowd around you.

• Shirt and Pants: A good pair of modern trousers with a well ironed clean shirt marks the presence of a professional gentleman. If you thought so, you are wrong. Modern times demand something more. In this fast paced world even the tiniest detail counts when it comes to formal wears. A good combination can get you a good job even if you do not perform well in their interviews. The trousers and the boots should make a good color combination. A good modern trendy belt just adds to the thrill of your magnetic personality. Do not choose fanciful or flashy belts or boots. Boots with too many stripes also do not look good. The shoe should be made of leather. The number of leather strips should be as low as possible. It is best to go for shoes which do not show how they were woven by their masters. Strings hanging out of the boots are a big no. it is always better to choose boots and belts which are dark in color. Again, shirts should not have much design on them. This is formal wear and the shirts are meant to be plain. Design should be kept pretty low. Do not tuck the shirt in such a manner that it stays stiff on your chest. This may help you make the girls woo your presence, but, it does not look professional. Lift your hands and make the shirts a bit loose near the waist so that it comfortably rests on you. Also, a good gold plated watch should be a good combination for formal outfits.

• Shirt on another shirt: if you are very thin you can wear a full sleeve shirt with either open buttons or close buttons to make you look healthier. This combination looks really good for thin guys.

• Cargo pants: wear it if you have good and healthy thighs which fit well inside the pant. If you are thin and unexceptionally tall, it is better to avoid wearing a cargo pant. Cargo pants with too many pockets also spoil the show. A common man finds a cargo pant with too many pockets to be quite funny. If a beggar wears a cargo pant he gets confused as to which pocket in his pant is full and which one empty is the tickling joke around these pants. If you are reluctant in buying one keep your eyes open and buy the best one with little pockets and a good yet not flashy pant with decent designs on it.

• Jeans shirt: good wear for winter. Half sleeved jeans shirt should also protect you from the harmful sunrays in the summer. The minus point is: they do not look good on everyone. If you buy it because Salman Khan looks good in it, you might look a bit opposite. It is always better to ask a good friend for a frank opinion. A girlfriend might nod her head just because a megastar looked good in it, but a friend wont.

• Torn jeans: if you are going to a college where the lecturers are not bothered about the outfits of their students you may wear torn jeans. But, actually speaking these are meant for the casual wears shelf. It does not look good in a formal institute.

• Crushed cloth pants and shirts: it is also excellent as a casual wear. I doubt that your lecturer will admire your outfit if you go with these into the laboratory.

Check out which among the above outfits suits you the best. It is always a good habit to try all the best combination which suit you very well. A good modern mobile and a branded laptop with a great configuration are also the part of a great modern trendy outfit. This makes you look something different everyday which is good as it denotes a fresh start for a cool modern day topped with a great modern and cool outfit!

Cool Digital Watches | Modern Digital Wrist Watches For Cool Guys

2010-07-10T00:13:00.000-07:00

Cool digital watches which act like a PDA (personal digital assistant) complement the outfit of a cool guy of the modern day. Before buying a digital watch take care of the following:

Digital watch is not just for showing off: A modern digital watch is not meant for showing off. If you really wanna show off there are many other watches in the shelf which will suit your needs. It is an engineer or a soldier who really cares for having a digital wrist watch. A digital watch is meant for handling minor technical jobs which a digital watch can best do. A digital watch is a PDA. Take a look at the next point.

Alarms and ringtones of a cool digital watch: This is the main reason why people opt to buy a digital watch. There are many busy engineers and businessman who need to be reminded of the time and their schedule time and again. A modern mobile does do this for them. But, removing a mobile out of the pocket and closing the alarm is a great headache. Especially if your mobile starts ringing in the middle of a meeting it will make you more nervous than happy. A digital watch will give a beep sound whenever it wants to remind you of something. A small beep is not as interruptive and annoying as a mobiles ringtone which is not going to turn off unless you remove it out of the pocket and press the escape button. A digital mobile on the other hand will be on your wrist and will just remind you of your schedule with a single beep which in some cases does not even need the push of a button to shut itself down. A digital watch without alarms is absolutely garbage material.

May your digital watch be water proof: If you are a sportsman, you need to have a watch which can withstand harsh rains during the practice sessions. A modern trendy sports watch is usually built such that it can withstand the stresses it is prone to during a heavy match. A modern digital sports watch should have a stop clock which will show you the accurate time taken by you to reach your target (if you want to measure the statistics of your performance with respect to time scale). Swimmers also wear digital watches to measure their fastest performance timings. Even if you are not a sportsman it is still advisable to buy a modern waterproof watch which is quite tough to withstand the harsh environments it will be subjected to. Analog watches are generally more prone to breakage and damages because of their delicate architecture which might get disturbed if subjected to large stresses as in a sports tournament.

Back-light and the dial should be clearly visible: A modern digital watch should preferably have a good back-light which illuminates it properly in the darkest of all nights. The backlight should also add to te beauty of the digital watch. In case a reminder rings, the dial should be able to give you a text message quite clearly which can be readable and is easy on the eye.

Let it be multi-functional: Think twice before you choose your digital watch. Some digital watches might give you the option of an inbuilt calculator. But, do you really need it? Not unless you are made to do huge calculations right on the spot wherever you are standing. Some digital watches will feature a good screen with small input buttons which will allow you to input multiple variables into it. But these buttons were way too small and hence the idea of buying such a watch became obsolete and impractical. In present day cutting-edge technology the text input can be given to the digital watch via a computer text editor through the USB port. Once the input is given your PDA is ready to assist you throughout your life. However the latest technology looks forward to synchronize your mobile phone or PDA with the wrist watches. You can set up alarms and reminders which will show up on the screen of your digital watch. I still remember a day when people were speaking about a wrist watch having an in-built camera. Due to some reason the wrist watch did not enter the market.

A digital wrist watch coupled with another digital gadget: Yes latest technology has brought various wrist watch combinations. How does a wrist watch with an embedded PMP3 player sound? Similarly there are many other models of wrist watches which are electronically coupled with the IC boards of other digital electronic products. So keep our eye on such devices if at all any suits your needs.

With so many options it is definitely a difficult job to choose the best modern wrist watch that suits our need. Technology brings modern cool gadgets to our doorsteps, we just need to make an intelligent decision while buying one. Buy a cool looking wrist watch with a flashy backlight which lights up everybody’s mood when it turns on. Also if you do not want your watch to produce any kind of sound when its reminder turns on, check out for the wrist watches which allow you a vibrating ring interface for reminders. With so many cool watches around you will definitely get the coolest digital wrist watch you had been searching for throughout your life!

Take a look at the coolest digital watches online.

Google’s Android enters India and China

2010-07-04T10:55:00.000-07:00

Google’s Android OS will now be gearing up and entering the Indian and Chinese mobile market with a huge buzz. Oh yes the giant will not expand the Android mobile software market in India and China. Google is said to be releasing a cheap and affordable Android software for its Indian and Chinese fans. Google is making deals with mobile manufacturers of India and China to release Android based smart phones at an affordable cost. The companies Google is dealing with are Huawei of China and LG of South Korea. And this time Google is looking forward for making huge profits.

The basic applications which will be helping Google are the advertisements that will be rolled out in these softwares. Yes Google is looking forward to have deals with a huge number of application developers this time. The developers who work on the Android platform have developed around 65,000 applications as compared to the more than 200,000 applications which have been developed for the Apple users. And thus the toughest competition that Google will be facing is Apple. The developers are being said to earn from the sales of their applications. Google gets its share of profits from the advertisements that will be popping up in the mobile which are loaded with the Android OS. The application developers are either paid a one time fee or are paid a loyalty by Google.

The Google ads will also feature extensions of the previous application which will be immense help to the game developers who release different versions or levels of their games. Also some adjustments will be made to pay the application developers directly through the application which displays the ads. Google will be doing everything that comes its way to promote its new OS and get the best out of it. Let us wait and see how the Indians and Chinese react to the release of the Android. The toughest competition is usually given to all by the big daddy of mobile manufacturers: Nokia. Nokia is by far the phone which sells pretty well in India and China. Will this new OS from Google change the trends in these two countries? Leave your answer in the form of a comment. Let’s welcome dear Android to India and China.

Vaastu Shastra | Vaastu Shastra Importance

2010-07-04T10:31:00.000-07:00

Vaastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture which helps people to build a balanced house in which all the five elements viz. air, water, earth, fire and ether to be balanced. Thus vaastu shastra helps a person to build a balanced house which helps his spiritual, economic and physical growth. The best part is that vaastu shastra is extremely easy to follow. The basic principle of vaastu shastra is to balance the five basic elements of nature in order to give man a happy and prosperous life. Vaastu shastra was basically applied to temple architecture. In fact, the temple of Shri Vishnu at Tirupathi is said to be built perfectly according to vaastu shatra. And we all know the flow of money that this perfectly built according to vaastu shastra temple sees. The word Vaastu comes from the word “vaas” which means a dwelling, and shastra means a science. And hence, vaastu shastra is the science of house architecture. Modern times have brought forth a modern Vaastu Shastra which is compact and very easy to understand. In fact Vaastu Shastra has now become a very important part of the interior designing in modern times and has also become the trend of the day.

And hence it is absolutely important to follow vaastu shastra even in these modern times where technology is dominant and ever changing in order to have a balanced house and hence a balanced life. It is a well known fact that the house is a reflection of the person dwelling in it. Hence, the importance of vaastu shastra becomes evident. A balanced person lives in a balanced house and has all the benefits that he can possibly get from his house which is planned with the basic Vaastu Shastra rules taken into consideration. The following four points give a brief overview of the whole vaastu shastra:

• According to vaastu shastra there should be absolutely no weight in the north-east corner. If possible one should have the entrance of the house in this corner of the house. There should be windows and doors in the north and east direction of almost every room according to the vaastu shastra. Vaastu experts particularly point out that even a single piece of paper should not be allowed to lie in this direction of the house or room. A bore-well should be placed in this corner. There should be some source of flowing water in this direction. An underground water tank is also acceptable.

• Vaastu shastra states that all the weight in the house should be thrown in the south-west direction. Also the south-west direction of every room should be loaded with heavy objects. It is advisable to keep the treasury locker in the south-west direction. Thus according to vaastu shastra all the positive energy that flows in form the north-east direction helps the treasury locker to prosper, thus bringing financial growth to the owner of the house. Also the south-west corner should be completely blocked. A window or two for allowing the air and light to enter the room is allowable. The north-east corner is the best place to have a bedroom. This place is an ideal corner for a bedroom.

• The south-east corner is the direction of Agni. Fire is essential element. A bathroom in this direction will suppress the quality of AGNI. Some vaastu experts tell that a bathroom in this corner is acceptable. But I personally feel that this place should have only a kitchen. The tap of the kitchen should be undoubtedly placed in the northeast corner as it serves the purpose of flowing water.

• The last direction is the north-west direction. This is the place where there is the air element. Hence this direction can hold a hall or a lobby in business organizations. This place can be one where guests can come and go.

Apply a few vaastu shastra tricks to your modern house and you will undoubtedly see improvements in the house and also in the life of all your family members. Once the people in a balanced modern house (built well according to the rules of the vaastu shastra) choose a proper path, they are found to perform extremely well and prosper in their professional life pretty well. Students failing time and again in their examinations are found to perform much better in a well-planned perfect house. If there are really any problems in a well-planned house, it just means that there is still some flaw in the house. If you go to a vaastu expert he will tell you to literally break the whole house and reconstruct it! So please use you brains and remember the above points properly and apply them properly in a practical manner just the way a modern trendy guy is supposed to do.

Dhoni’s Engagement And Marriage

2010-07-04T01:37:00.001-07:00

The bad news for all Indian girls is that the heartthrob Mahendra Singh Dhoni who is the present Indian Cricket Team captain has been engaged to a girl from Kolkata known by the name Sakshi Singh Rawat.

Saakshi was Dhoni’s classmate once upon a time. Dhoni got engaged with her at hotel Bagirath (Dehradun). The engagement was bejeweled with the family members and a few close friend of Dhoni which included Harbhajan Singh and Ashish Nehra.

Dhoni’s fans enjoyed and celebrated his engagement by lighting crackers. Dhoni who had started his debut in football as a goal keeper later gave the Indian audience a blast with his awesome performance in ODI batting.

There were many rumors linking the ace batsman with the bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone. And if we remember well there was also a Shah Rukh Khan who was supporting the Dhoni and Deepika linkup rumor. Zoom took every opportunity that came in its way to toss the situation and get the maximum profit out of it. And finally it ended up as a trash news.

Dhoni had leaded the Indian cricket team as a captain and has shown good captainship since the beginning of his captainship life. The ace batsman is still said to be a crazy football fan. Dhoni takes every opportunity to take a look at the FIFA football tournament whenever time permits.

We just need to wait and see if the new girl coming in his life is going to bring any changes in his luck as an Indian captain whatsoever. All Indians are hoping for an excellent Cricket worldcup this time under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Lets wait and watch the charm of the new bride in the grooms life. Hope Dhoni gets some time for the new girl. Doni will get married after the Australian series. Wish you a happy married life in advance dear Dhoni. Recent rumors also state that Dhoni might marry in the next few days or even hours.

Samsung galaxy S

2010-07-04T00:44:00.000-07:00

Samsung is releasing its Samsung galaxy S mobile series which will definitely catch the crowd by storm. Oh, yeah you heard it right they will steal the show like never before the features, specifications and configuration of the Samsung Galaxy S will drive you crazy and make you crave for it every moment before you buy it.

• Samsung Galaxy S comes with a 4” AMOLED touchscreen!

• Samsung Galaxy S comes with a brain-storming 5MP camera which takes crisp photographs.

• HD recording.

• Samsung Galaxy S gives you a 1GHz processor.

• With Samsung Galaxy you now have the freedom of seeing an advanced AMOLED screen which will utilize 20% less power and yet give you a screen which is 20% more bright as compared to the traditional AMOLED screens! And yes it reflects 80% less sunlight than the traditional AMOLED screens.

• It runs on the Android 2.1 OS.

• Samsung Galaxy S gives you a 720P HD recording ability with its 5MP camera.

• A new SWYPE screen from the Samsung Galaxy gives you the flexibility of typing text without lifting your finger off the touchscreen.

• Data transfer using DLNA technology.

• Daily briefing which tells you about the weather news and other topics in a brief note.

• Supports WiFi, Bluetooth and HSDPA.

• Samsung Galaxy S gives you a 3D surround sound effect which means double entertainment.

Prices aren’t yet rolled out in USD. At least I did not find it anywhere across the internet in USD. But the phone is just ideal for social bookmarking and networking. The wide screen and the slim design just steals the show in any showroom. Samsung Galaxy S is ideal for internet surfing and viewing movies. The only minus point would be its typing technology which seems a bit weird. The keys are well placed and make typing a pleasure. But I doubt its SWYPE technology giving any pleasure. How will the screen distinguish between a touch and a key stroke? It’s definitely time based. Which means that the sensors on the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S will be calculating the time for which your finger will be touching a particular area on its screen. I don’t personally feel comfortable with the idea of such interface provided by Samsung. Lets see what others say about the Samsung Galaxy S. to view the photos of this awesome masterpiece from Samsung click here

Best PMP player

2010-07-03T08:32:00.000-07:00

If you want a good mp3 PMP player, PMP’s from Transcend, Sandisk, Cowon and Sony should be your top priority. You can choose the cheapest player that suits your budget. But, mind you, there are many people selling fake players which are China goods. They may sound good, but, will often go for repairs. They do not come with any sort of guarantee or warranty. Hence choose your player very carefully. Sandisk is known for the tremendous list of features that its players are equipped with. It gives you the pooch for every buck that you spend on it.

While choosing any PMP player please make sure that it meets the following set of requirements:

• Your PMP should allow USB charging as well as charging through charger. You cannot search for a computer once you go for a trip to a far away distant place.

• Should have a set of decent ear plugs or ear phones which are small and comfortable to the ear (for hours together).

• The PMP should support at least 8GB internal and external memory.

• The PMP’s sound must be high so as to eliminate any external sound coming from the surroundings.

• Your PMP should be slim and funky.

• The PMP should support customizable equalizer settings and should have at least 6 default equalizer modes (if you are good at fiddling around with the equalizer settings in order to get the desired sound effect check out if the PMP supports manual equalizer settings).

• Take a look at the battery backup of the PMP. Choose a PMP with the greatest battery backup. Usually the backup of PMP’s is a bit less than that specified by the manufacturer.

• Check if the PMP has Video or photo support.

• Video PMP’s should usually have a wider screen.

• Some PMP’s give you the option of a supplementary useless camera. Don’t be fooled by it. The cameras are of no use unless you buy a costly cowon PMP player.

• PMP players are bought mostly for listening to songs. If you are satisfied with the audio output of your mobile you may consider cancelling your idea of buying a PMP.

• If you love bass equalizer mode the best PMP would be Apple’s product. Apple is known for the tight bass that it gives. The Apple’s Nano series PMP are especially renowned for their tight bass equalizers. But cowon D2 gives you an almost equal performance with a good screen that makes your perfect day even more delightful with the tremendous features that come bundled with it.

• Check if the PMP supports radio.

• The default bundled ear phones are almost like a complement gift provided just for the sake of it. It is recommended to go for intra-ear, headphone from Bose (costs around 100$, that’s Rs5000). But not all drivers (PMP’s) play them properly. Sandisk especially will not support any earphone other than the bundled ones. The quality of the default bundled earphones in case of Sandisk is just excellent.

• Costlier PMP’s support many other functions like Bluetooth, Browsing and many such accessories and programs. So watch out if there are any such options available. Some PMP’s support touch-screen technology. So watch out for it before buying one.

• Your PMP should and must support the option of adding playlists.

If you want to buy a PMP MP4 player go for either Sandisk or Cowon. If you can afford, you may buy any of the Cowon D or A series. They will satisfy every buck that you shell out to buy them. When it comes to MP4 PMP’s there is none better than Cowon. Even Apple’s PMP’s are overlooked because of the lacking of a good wide screen which can help the gadget geeks watch cool movies on the go.

How To Prevent Mobile Hacking?

2010-06-21T09:43:00.000-07:00

The spammers and hackers are now targeting the mobiles to steal personal data from the mobile owners. Even while speaking to somebody your passwords and usernames will be at risk. You may also like to read how to choose a mobile phone.

The hackers are now targeting the mobile owners to collect important data regarding the credit cards, etc. The hackers send spam messages to your mobile which when clicked, activates a Trojan in your mobile’s OS. Whatever you do, the person who has sent you a Trojan will be able to take a look at the data present in your mobile. If you store your passwords in your mobile you are sure to rise from a footpath the next morning. Hence, it is always advised to delete messages that do not come from a confidential source.

Almost 500 such hacks have been reported till date. The numbers will be increasing soon as the mobile owners get addicted to the mobiles. Do not keep any private data on your mobile. If you forget things so often, it is better to note them down in a book properly. This will keep your important data private and secure.

Do scan your mobiles with a good antivirus. The ones which are most praised of are from Netquin and Kaspersky. Install the software and run a thorough scan once a week, preferably at weekends.

It seems that the cyber police still have to improve a lot to tackle the problems faced by the internet users. In worst cases a hacker will steal the money from your credit card or will empty your paypal accounts.

China Mobile Sets

2010-06-21T03:45:00.000-07:00

China mobile sets had left the mouth of the Indian audience wide open when they took a look at its performance and cost. China Mobiles had a set of the loudest loud speakers with a harsh and squeaky treble equalizer which pierced the ears of the people sitting around it. Some like the China mobiles some don’t. To some people the China mobile is a real treat. To some people it is a use-and-throw set which helps them to show off as long as it stays with them. How would you like a mobile which gives you the option of a built in television? And all this comes with the boon of a very low and affordable cost. “Cheap and best” as the Indians call best describes the China mobile set which gives you so many features at an absolutely low cost.

The problem with the China mobile phones is the complete lack of any sort of warranty or guarantee. There are no servicing centers which can repair a China mobile. But still, China showed its intelligence and grip over technology with these multifunctional China mobile sets such that, it could have even dominated the global market provided it could provide some guarantee or warranty of any sort with these sets.

The China mobile sets however are equally delicate. Once it touches the ground there is no need to pick it up it is gone. The build quality is way too poor. And another problem faced was the internet settings to be made if GPRS service was to be enabled on your China Mobile. The model names of the China Mobiles are so diverse that it is pretty difficult to find the model number and the settings that are to be adjusted to make the GPRS work on the mobile without any technical issues blocking the user’s browsing experience. This problem still stays unsolved and for some good reason the China Mobiles have been banned in India.

So if you were waiting to own a China mobile set in the next few weeks it is too late to take this decision. The china mobiles though good do not seem professional like the Nokia and Sony Ericson mobiles. The Indians will definitely miss the China Mobiles which gave them the functionality of a powerhouse at the cost of a small peanut. Good bye China mobile.

New Pacemaker Remote Technology

2010-06-20T05:29:00.000-07:00

A new pacemaker remote technology has made it easier for the patients to report the statistics of their heart beat and the performance of the pacemaker installed in their chests. Pacemakers are placed in the chest or abdomen of a heart patient suffering from Arrhythmias to control the patient’s heart beat’s rhythm. These pacemakers, which maintain the pace of the heart beat to bring it to a normal state are seeing new advancements in technology which are more promising and time saving in nature. Usually a heart patient who has a pacemaker in his chest has to frequently visit his doctor to check whether the heart beat is normal or whether the pace of the beats has to be increased or decreased using the pacemaker based on the requirements of his body. A pacemaker just sends electrical signals to the heart to normalize its irregular beats by varying the rhythm of the electrical signals.

With the advancement of technology heart patients now have the privilege of giving a report of their pacemaker statistics to their doctors just by pressing a button. Thus, this new pacemaker technology has several advantages as stated below:

• A situation of emergency can be predicted as the pacemaker technology can be used to give a regular feedback to the doctors regarding the health of the patients. On a daily basis.

• The patients save a lot of precious time which is unnecessarily spent for coming and going from the hospital.

• The technology saves a lot of transportation and other costs.

• It helps the doctors to have the necessary reports without having to individually examine their patients.

• The patient goes to see the doctor only if there is any need to increase or decrease the speed of the pacemaker.

• The patient feels more secure as he can instantly send a report to the doctor regarding his health in case he feels that his condition may become serious.

Overall, the technology is a better one and helps the hospitals to cut down unnecessary labor costs. Heart patients having pacemakers installed can now live a happy and secure life as their doc is just one button push away from them thanks to the remote pacemaker technolgy.

Aamir Khan’s performance in Ghajini

2010-06-15T09:58:00.000-07:00

An actor with a well toned lean body is what we saw in the Hindi film Ghajini. Aamir Khans acting in Ghajini was definitely good. The character in Ghajini is that of a psycho. And Aamir Khan handled it pretty well. Ghajini came in Bollywood for a sole reason: to make money. The director Murugadoss had directed the film long before in the Tamil and Telugu film industry. Both the films were shot with the actor Surya who belongs to the Tamil Film Industry.

Both the films are pretty same except for the climax twist in the Hindi version. The Tamil version of Ghajini film had a climax where the actor partly reconciles his past and fights the villain at the end. Here the villain does not confuse him as in the Hindi Film. The villain part is done by two twin brothers who are killed by the leading hero Surya named as Sanjay Ramaswami in the Tamil Ghajini.

The major difference between the Hindi version and the Tamil version was the acting. the film was a major hit in North India. But south India did not view the film with the same awe. The only reason why the south Indians did watch the film was to see the much hyped body that Aamir Khan had developd for Ghajini. Tamil actor Surya had given the South a mind boggling performance in the Tamil and Telugu versions of the film. The tamil film was acting oriented, whereas the Hindi film is physique oriented. Aamir Khan's body was purposefully exposed in the film at every instant. The half sleeve shirts do not make Aamir look like a professional businessman as in the case of Surya in the Tamil version. Throughout the film Surya wore full sleeve shirts and blazers which suit the attire of a successful businessman.

Aasin’s performance remains pretty the same. The costumes in Hindi songs give her a unique glamour as opposed to those in the south Indian versions. Aamir being a generous and resilient actor accepted that his acting performance did not match anywhere to the performance given by Surya in the South Indian films. But definitely building such a good physique needs a lot of determination and Aamir has done it. Kudos to Ghajini which broke all the existing records of the boxoffice with its unique collection. Congrats Aamir! Recently the whole Bollywood is considering his body to be the best in modern times and is wondering if anybody can come forth with a great Bollywood body greater than that of Aamir Khan.

R. Madhvan A Tamil Star Or A Bollywood Star

2010-06-15T09:55:00.000-07:00

R.Madhavan and Mani Ratnam film Kannathil Muthamittal was released way back in 2002. No I am not promoting the film. Neither am I giving a film review. I am just telling who R. Madhavan is. Is he a Tamil film industry actor or a good Bollywood actor?

Madhavan is good in both the Industries. No doubt. But definitely there is a difference between the Tamil Film Industry Madhvan and the one in Indian Film Industry. The best way to compare was his movie RHTDM which gave him a major breakthrough in the Indian Film Industry. To tell you the truth, this actor entered the Hindi stage in a humorous television serial called “Ghar Jamaai”. And his performance was the best as usual.

Though he performs great in Hindi films he is excellent in his Tamil films. It is the language flow. The way he speak Tamil is just great! You may not be able to understand the language, but, the expressions and his acting are just awesome. Madhavan can steal anybody’s heart with his Tamil films. I recently saw his two Tamil films Kannathil Mutthamittal and Minnale. His Tamil accent, style and expressions are just great. In a Tamil film madhavan performs like the Indian Cricket Team when it is playing on its home ground.

Madhavan is good as a Bollywood actor too, but his blood is that of a professional Tamil actor. Being a renowned actor in Tamil Film Industry is a great privilege. The tamil film industry is gifted with very great actors like Surya, Kamal Hasan, Rajanikanth and of course Vikram who acted in Aparichit. These actors love the tamil film industry stage so much that they do not come to bollywood even if they receive hefty sum for acting in a Hindi movie.

To sum it all up, even if Madhavan is a great Bollywood actor, he performs in Tamil films just as a fish swimming in water.

Will Salman Khan Ever Speak To Vivek Oberoi?

2010-06-15T09:52:00.000-07:00

The answer is a flat no. If somebody calls a media conference and tells in front of the whole world that he received a threat from a person who was dating his girlfriend before, would he ever forgive such a guy. Even if he did it, he would not. It is quite natural for an established actor like Salman Khan to be egoistic. With so many fans and a cool body Salman is definitely egoistical. But his ego gets covered by his friendly heart.

Recently at IIFA Vivek got a chance to introduce Salman Khan on the stage. But Salman was staunch enough not to walk to the stage in the presence of Vivek Oberoi. Finally Anil Kapoor was called to the stage to call the actor on stage.

Media was definitely eager to slang a few weird questions at Vivek making him feel very embarrassed. Sanjay Dutt on the other hand has forgiven Vivek and is said to have helped him in the Shootout of Lokhandwala just like an elder brother. It is quite clear that Sallu and Vivek are on two banks of a very wide river which cannot be crossed even if Vivek would like to. A bridge has to be held between two supports. A single support can never form a bridge. The whole story of the beauty queen is over but the left-over smoke hasn’t died even today.

The situation is so tense that the two actors can never share the same studio. How can we expect to see them on the stage with such conditions. Though the situation is like a cold war, it is never going to stop. It was mandatory for Vivek to call Salman on stage because he was hosting the stage. It was even more important to call Salman on stage as he is the brand ambassador of IIFA. Salman has made it very clear through his behavior that Vivek will never be forgiven by him.

Popular Old And New Games

2010-06-15T04:17:00.001-07:00

A few Games which seem to be outdated are in fact one of the most favorite games of a few hardcore gamers. Did you know that even today there are so many Engineers who just love to play the well known Project IGI game even today? Not just project IGI but so many small and not so realistic games are loved by most of the hardcore gamers.

Engineers are found to love Project IGI. This is a game which drives the player crazy with its strong story line. Project IGI is a well laid out game and gives the boon of unlimited technology to the player to complete the project. The guns are good and seem realistic. Even the reloading part has been shown very clearly inside the game to make it seem more realistic. The main aim of the game however is to tell people about the different type of guns, how each gun is reloaded and how a single soldier can complete a dangerous task single handed with the cutting-edge technology guns and binoculars. The story line is also pretty good. And, of course, not to forget the AI which is so well simulated inside the game.

One more game that drives the technical geeks crazy is Need For Speed Most Wanted. You get acquainted with the various sports cars and even their speed and acceleration in Need For Speed Most Wanted. You never get satisfied even after playing the whole game. You feel like playing more and more. The more you play the game the more need for speed you feel. If you have not run the Ford GT car yet, give it a try. I just fell in love with it the moment I took its steering in my hand. Of course, don’t forget to upgrade it to get optimum performance. I’m sure you will like it.

Do you know the favorite game of the people at Digit? It is quake3 Arena! They play it on a LAN and just love it. There are a lot more people who are playing games like Super Mario even today with the same craze even after the release of new high end games in the same niche. A few more people are well satisfied with the game of cards inside their computers which come bundled with their OS as a default game.

Other games include Cricket by Electronic Arts. Cricket lovers spend hours hitting sixes and fours to every ball that comes their way. One more game from the same company named-FIFA (football game) is even today found to have a few die hard crazy fans. And definitely not to forget the GTA game series. House of Dead and V-Cop provide a source of relief to people who work or study all day long. If a gamer is angry on anybody he plays V-cop and HOD. The left button for shooting and right button for reloading is just what everybody wants to clean the city with their angry brains.

One game which never caught the attention of the crowd so wildly was chess. There are very few people in the crowd who play chess with the same craze with which the youngsters play the FPS games. The gaming industry stays in business because of the youngsters who establish themselves as hardcore gamers. The statistics show that there are a huge number of youngsters who love FPS games. First person shooter games and arcade games are the thrill for the youth. It’s all that the youth need. A few firing rifles to kill. A few sports cars which break traffic rules and get engaged in a police pursuit.

It is quite interesting to know that most of the NFS game players love police pursuits as compared to the boring races inside the game. People playing GTA vice city are the ones who feel like doing illegal activities, but are bound by the rules of law and humanity to stop themselves from doing so in real life. But, what’s in a game? You may do anything you like as long as you do not win the game. Let’s take a look at a few more games which are driving the crowd crazy.

A few “old PC owners” are playing Pacman (the first game which took the crowd by craze) even today. In fact, it is these well known games which make the gamers buy new games from the same gaming company. Most of the gamers get so crazy about the games that they wait like a crocodile with a wide open mouth for the next version of the same game to arrive in the market as soon as possible. And this is the only reason why most of the gaming companies roll out different versions of the same game rather than making new games with a different plot. How would you like to know that Engineers are playing games like Jordanians in this fast paced world?

A few more games that are of sheer interest for the youth are: Call Of Duty, Far Cry, Gears Of War, Prince Of Persia, etc. A few technical freaks play games like Lord Of The Rings and Battle For Wesnoth in order to use their systematic and technical brains to win a war against the intruders who are trying to ransack their country and conquer it inside the game. Crazy Carts is another online game which preferably has a good user interface. Movie enthusiasts love games like Death Race, Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider, etc.

The gaming industry has all types of games for everyone in the crowd. The ones stated are the games which are played by most of the hardcore gamers. If there is any game you would like to promote to the audience, feel free to leave a reply.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology in Games

2010-06-10T09:11:00.000-07:00

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the talk of the day in the Gaming Industry. Let’s take a look at what AI is technology and how it originated. The idea of AI had evolved much earlier. People always wanted to have a world completely filled with automated robots which would do everything for them without asking any instructions. Say for example that the temperature and humidity of the house has increased to such a limit that using a fan becomes mandatory. In such cases a program is simulated in the control panel of a switch board which keeps on checking the temperature, humidity of the room, etc and takes important decisions regarding switching on the fan, increasing its speed, decreasing its speed, Etc. And this is exactly what AI is about. AI is nothing but a simulation of a human brain into a computer. AI technology was invented so as to produce robots, machines and games which are much similar to the human brain in their functioning.

All this has become true because of the use of Soft Computing Techniques and AI. Imagine a system which if fed with the climate conditions and the data of the power system load for a year or so along with the temperature conditions at that particular time. The system takes a look at the previous load data and estimated how it changes along with change in the weather. Once simulated this system is so effective as to give a fuzzy estimation of the load data that will be required during a day, provided you feed the weather conditions of the present day to the system through another system. This process is actually called as load forecasting and is usually done using soft computing techniques. What we call as Artificial Intelligence is just a small part of Soft Computing Techniques.

But, why did I give this example? Just to tell that the basic level AI technology used in Games is used at a much higher level in Engineering Technologies. There are various soft computing techniques which are used for doing various automated works. Even the touch screen mobile that we use, employs these soft-computing techniques in order to detect hand writing input as given by the user with the help of a stylus. The same soft computing technology is used in a Game to tell the computer what a particular action of the player means. Have you ever thought how the bombs are simulated inside the computer? Let me take this as an example to tell you how the soft computing techniques are used in a Game.

Usually a game is a 3D area created inside the computer. All the buildings trees etc are the front-end. The softwares run in the backend and show a visual to you by taking the inputs from you. Say for example that you are driving a car. If you continuously hold down the front arrow key the car accelerates. The acceleration also depends on the slope of the road on which the car is moving. Actually the tricky part is in defining the trajectory traversed by a car when it jumps from the peak of a sinusoidal wave shaped road. When a bomb is thrown by a player it falls at a particular place. If I stand near to the bomb and die there will be no reality in my Game. So I will now tell the computer that in a real world situation the harm done to a human through a bomb blast depends on the distance between a person and the blast. So I take several circles of different radius and tell the computer that if the distance between the player and the bomb lies in a particular range the loss in health should be so much percent. Now I tell it the maximum distance till where the impact of the explosion is felt. Now the computer knows that if a person is nearer to the bomb blast, his health decreases more as compared to a person who is standing a bit far from it. This is what AI is about. But, this technology has a much wider view. You need to know you vector algebra and matrices right away if you want to become a Game developer.

Gaming is deeply related with mathematics. If you hate math you cannot become a good computer programmer. Game development needs a lot of math handling. But the actual fact is that most of the Game development process depends on designing. 90% of a game is pure designing. The coding part is the other 10%. In fact, most of the Game developers call themselves a graphics designer first and then a programmer. Writing game programs is definitely tedious. But, if you like developing Games it is not. Every time you add a piece of code you run the program just in order to see if everything works fine. Usually big games are cut into small parts and created by a team of professionals divided into small teams.

The main part used in very high quality reality FPS (First Person Shooter) Games is Fuzzy Logic. Fuzzy logic is nothing but a soft computing technique which utilizes a “Fuzzy” Logic. Usually computers use the language of 0’s and 1’s. It is either ON or OFF. But in Fuzzy Logic the weight-age given to an event is between this zero and one. If I use the 0 and 1 language it is either a person dies if he lies in the range of a bomb blast, or, I am alive if I am not in its range of blast. Using fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning is simulated by the programmer in the Game. If you can see the hand of a soldier standing in the other room, he does not see you (because the programmer tells the computer that you are hiding and hence you are not visible in the eyesight range of the soldier in the other room). You step one inch forward and the soldier knows that you are an intruder and starts shooting immediately till either of you die. And the eyesight of the soldier is designed by its programmer. This is fuzzy logic technology. Another Soft computing technique much widely used in developing Games is Artificial Neural Networks. Just as an electron leaves an atom if an energy greater than the threshold energy is applied to it, the neural network gets switched on as soon as the threshold value is exceeded by the input signal. But the feature that makes a Neural Network unique is its ability to learn. This means that it can actually learn different things and correct itself from its mistakes.

Say, we need to stop a car immediately if an accident is predicted. The neural network will use the estimation given by the programmer to stop the car. If the accident still occurs, the neural network takes the actual results, compares it with its predictions and calculates an error. Now the neural network will alter the time taken to stop the car in such a manner that the accident should also be avoided and the passengers in the car should also not get hurt due to a sudden brake applied to the vehicle. Sounds cool doesn’t it. Well. Using it in Game Development is even more cool if you know game programming.

Nowadays AI is seeing great improvements. The algorithms used by the Search Engines to do the indexing of a website in its index are also created using AI (actually soft computing). Artificial Intelligence is seeing great success in today’s cutting-edge technology. Good high-level programming languages like C# are used to simulate AI in a game. Game development is definitely a very cool technology and job to hang around with. Game developers work only five hours a day. The rest of the time, they either play the game or hang around the sity. The best part is that they get to play the game even while working in the office and even when they go to home. Programming a computer to produce an AI simulation game is great fun.

Hrithik’s Kites Get Cut By The Indian Audience

2010-06-07T07:46:00.000-07:00

Though Hrithik impressed the foreign audience with his latest film Kites he lost the show with the Indian audience. The actor seems to be completely disappointed with the poor performance of his much awaited and rumored film Kites which was supposed to catch the Indian audience by a storm. Hrithik and Barbara Moori flew their Kites so high in the sky that the Indian audience failed to see the Kites. But the breeze of film promoting was so wild that people were expecting to see something like Avatar happening in India. The movie is studded with Salsa jewels.

It is not very uncommon to see a movie like Kites failing in India. The movie is definitely not for the Indian audience. It was said that Rakesh Roshan had told the directors and producers of Hrithik’s films to wait and release their films after the release of Kite’s which according to him would restore Hrithik’s lost image in the Industry after the realease of the Ashutosh Gowariker film Jodha Akbar. But, Jodha Akbar banged many awards for Hrithik as well as Ashutosh. Rakesh Roshan had huge expectations from Kites.

Let us see why Kites fails to be accepted by the Indians:

· Salsa dance is new to the Indian audience. Indians do not show any interest in such dances.

· Multilingual film. With Spanish, Hindi and English the movie just makes itself more unclear to the Indian audience. Most of the audience do not understand English (leave Spanish).

· A foreign actress being exposed (this throws the film in the adult category) which again does not suit the Indian audience.

· A film about love and money. Indians do not love to make money. Instead they earn to make love. The idea itself seems absurd in a country where incarnations like Sri Rama are adored a lot.

· The movie and its actors do not have any set of ethics. In fact the storyline makes it seem that the Hero and Heroine are nothing but villains.

· The characters do all illegal things and finally end up being dead.

All these things are more than enough to make a film like Kites fail to mark its presence in India. The collection of the movie has been very poor. The Roshans would feel lucky if the invested amount of the producers returns back. The film is said to be built at a rate of around 120crore INR. The boxoffice is showing no spikes in the performance of the movie ever since its release. Seems that the Kites Hero will have to wait for the release of Krish2 to regain his lost image of the heartthrob.

But, do not forget that a wounded lions strikes much harder than he normally does in a wrestle. The Roshan’s will do everything it takes to steal the top slots again with their upcoming movies. We just have to wait and watch what is going to come next from the Roshan banners. At present Kites has failed to strike its chord among the Indian audience.
