Singh Is Kinng...

After Manmohan Singh became the Prime Minister of India, there has been always many jokes and rumours flowing around in India between him and Sonia Gandhi.

A recent movie was released starring Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif named "SINGH IS KINNG".

Its running successfully all over India despite many ups and downs in the Punjabi culture.

And now the movie is dubbed in the Parliament type view with the same title but featuring Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi.

Director-L K Advani

Producer-Congress :)

Ufffff.....Another Joke added to his life....

Poor Manmohan!!! Pity him...

Wagah Border...

Interested in seeing the impressive daily ritual of the Flag-hoisting and Flag-lowering ceremonies at Pakistan-India border?? It is worth travelling on G.T. (Grand Trunk) Road for 29 km (18 miles) to Wagah, which is a border crossing between Lahore and Amritsar in India.

The Flag-lowering ceremony, which takes place before sunset is particularly interesting. It is performed by active and smartly turned out Pakistani and Indian soldiers and receives spontaneous applause from the audience from both sides gathered to watch the ceremony.

The ritual comprises a handshake between the captains of the two countries, followed by a battle of angered looks, stomping with vigor to show military strength. The blowing of trumpets and the march past add to the colorful ceremony. It is a unique and thrilling event much enjoyed by people who come from long distances to view it.

Is INDIA Really Independent...???

Whether India is really independent ???

Why such question !

" We hoist our National Flag whithin a circle that is surrounded by bullet proof glass, armed security guards,army personal,strict vigil etc." So, is it that real independence which we proudly celebrate even after 61 years of 15.08.1947 !!!

JUST COMPARE THESE TWO PICS OF PAST AND THE PRESENT DAYS AND SEE THE SECURITY FOR OUR FLAG HOISTING NOW .

Still we fear of the terrorist attacks that may cause our Independence Day into a Death Day...

We can still hoist our nation's flag with pride and honour without security if we really feel that we true Indians can lay down our lives for our mother country whatever may be the situation. We all friends,relatives,near and dear speak about doing something which makes our nation proud,so why not this???

INDIA is our motherland and live without any fear for being independent and thus making the soul of freedom fighters and the great martyrs who gave up their lives in many battles fought for our country in peace .

Freedom is not a Right but a Feeling!
Let's be proud to feel the Freedom!
Let's say loud we are INDIANS!!!

Let all of us get to-gather &
Let's Celebrate Our Freedom!
It is our duty to preserve this Freedom!
Carry this forward to the future!
We did,We do,We will do!!!

Set the celebration on Air, Share your Joy, You're Free to do it.

VANDE MATARAM..................

LEGAL Milestone For OpenSource..

Advocates of open source software have hailed a court ruling protecting its use even though it is given away free.

The US federal appeals court move overturned a lower court decision involving free software used in model trains that a hobbyist put online.

The court has now said conditions of an agreement called the Artistic Licence were enforceable under copyright law. Legal experts have said the distinction is important since under federal copyright law a plaintiff can seek statutory damages and can be more easily granted an injunction than under contract law.

The ruling has implications for the Creative Commons licence which offers ways for work to go into the public domain and still be protected. These licenses are widely used by academic organisations like MIT for distributing coursework, scientific groups, artists, movie makers and Wikipedia among others.

Tired , Irritated , Bored to the core ....Uuuuff..

This is turning out to be a bad bad month. I thought the last month was lousy but then this one comes along and takes the cake. Now, despite whatever little savings I had, I am paying a tiny fortune as tax. I spent my whole weekend running around trying to get my stuff in order and I had no time for relaxation. God I'm whining now.

Fine... talking about something positive..... DAMN! There ain't anything positive about this bloody month. I have some dumbclasses coming up from monday again.Being able to finish work soon will be a boon. Yeah, this may be a good start to the new month.May be i will have a good days at least in september!!!
Have to wait and watch on & on & on...

The Demographic Shift...Social Networks!

As a society, we are entering an increasingly narcissistic phase, enabled by web technologies — a theory that is articulated in Wired’s recent cover story. As the Wired writer quips, “Like it or not, we are all public figures now — famous, as the new cliché goes, for 15 people.”

The evolution of blogging platforms needs to match these societal and demographic changes. I think folks who are blogging now (no, not just tech bloggers) are different from some of us early bloggers — they use different tools and services and have different views of sharing. In many ways MySpace and Facebook have changed what is OK, and what is not OK online.

With that as a sub-text, it is good to see the blogging systems start to evolve. Kudos to Six Apart for making the first major move. Suddenly, blogging tools are more fun — and social.

YES!!! Wireless Electricity ...

For years I've been arguing with people that it is possible when they
claimed it isn't. I had nothing to back my claims but hey...

YES! Now commercialize it.. and start with the cancer studies.
