One can't deny that currently technology development is booming globally. Even in poor places, such as the African continent, where millions of people are dying of starvation, a project has still been implemented to supply them with cheap computers which will be able to access internet: the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) Project, which I have discussed in my previous posts.
Things do not stop there. IBM and Google have teamed up to set up an educational plan where participant students will be specially trained on web-based applications. Universities wishing to offer Saas (Software-as-a-Service) course will be provided with the necessary resources to do so. Students will have access to remotely-hosted software via the internet, such as the Google Search Engine, Google Applications or IBM's hosted services platform (the latter are yet to be implemented).
One should note that Open Source is the trend this project intends to follow.
Blogging is the beautiful root for feeling, imaginations, your internal dream.From childhood everybody needs some sorts of exposure, for his or herfeelings and the victim can check the support as well as the reaction,from the person from different communities, from different society,give him or her suggestions, these may be good one, may be bad one.
Blogging is the art from which a person can binds lots of soul, especiallywho are of same kind, entertaining people combine together, every category has something to show, to say something, to write something. My personal experience tell me that this is the way I can put myself in front of the world.If someone ask me from my personal life than I will tell about my blog at first place, than I will go for my studies, etc etc.Different people attach with me, giving their views about my blogs, about mypostspecially for the posts which are in the pictorial forms. Thanks for your support I will hope that you people will always give me the same response.
Have you ever heard this?Well,I’m talking about the garments sale I recently came through.I went to a mall just for the sake of change from the bored project and college work.hardly carrying some cash since we were not prepared for the Big Surprise waiting for us there.As soon as we entered the Shipra Mall,Ghaziabad(IND),there were banners(Big ones)shouting SALE SALE SALE.
The sale was like this-Buy 3 Get 6 Free.An yeah,there was one more offer at the same-buy 6 get 18 Free.Sheesh,I never imagined in my life about this.I think the owner is fed up of his store and plans to start a new business.But wait,I was wrong because it was a comptetion(I suppose) between the various stores located close to each other.As I turned my head,there was another sale banner saying-50%+45% Off.I thought what the Hell,the thing which cost me Rs100 is now for Rs5, but my friend clarified me about the discount(hope you understood the meaning of 50%+45%Off).
But the question which haunts me is-How much should I pay them for a Jeans or Shirt?Shall I wait for the Sale season when I can buy 18 shirt by just paying for 6?I also heard they increase the amount tagged on the item and give discount so we actually pay what we will pay without Sale?
First of all EID Mubarak,not only to Muslims around the world but to other religion people as well.I saw on Blogcatalog that people are not aware of this festival of Muslims.At that time I thought I should write a brief post which will tell them what the Festival is and why it is celebrated?
Eid mubarak is a traditional greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr. Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the Eid prayer. This celebration continues till the end of the day. It is notable that saying these exact words is a cultural tradition influenced by deep roots of religion in it; however, it is not part of any religious obligations.
Eid refers to the occasion itself and Mubarak is roughly 'may it become good for you',but the phrase is used in the same context 'Merry Christmas' would be.
Eid al-Adha is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a commemoration of Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for Allah.It is one of two festivals that Muslims celebrate. Like Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha also begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon.Eid al-Adha is 4 days long and starts on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja of the lunar Islamic calendar.This is the day after the pilgrims in , the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat.It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan(Ramadan is an Islamic religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Qur'an was revealed.).
Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr, often abbreviated as simply Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan,the month of fasting.On the day of the celebration, a typical Muslim family is awake very early and then after praying the first normal everyday prayer, is required to eat in a small quantity, symbolizing the end of Ramadan. They then attend special congregational prayers held only for this occasion in mosques, in large open areas, stadiums or arenas. The prayer is generally short, and is followed by a sermon. Worshippers greet and embrace each other in a spirit of peace and love after the congregational prayer. After the special prayers, festivities and merriment are commonly observed with visits to the homes of relatives and friends to thank God for all blessings.
NOTE-:I am a Hindu by religion.Apart from the little knowlege I have about EID,I had to search the net for the information.So if there is a mistake somewhere,do let me know.i will correct it as soon as possible.
The idea for this post struck my mind when I searching information for my electronics project-Radio frequency Identification(RFID).Since this is my final year in Engineering,I shall submit a project in college.I am thankful to Mr. HC Aggrawal for handing us such a high-tech project.
RFID is the latest emerging technology which is not yet popular till now.RFID is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags.The working of RFID tags is similar to Barcode Readers used in shopping stores,libraries etc.The only difference is the large range of RFID and its lower cost when used on large scale.The main advantage is that products having RFID chips can be tracked from a very large distance.There are many other advantages.
But many people are against this technology.there are various reasons stated
1)Privacy-If RFID tags are implemented on currency,a person having RFID Sensor will know the amount of money you are carrying.Also a person can be tracked for tracked for large distance if item he his carrying has RFID tag without his knowledge.
2)Religious Opinion-Some critics, evangelical Christians mainly, believe that RFID tagging could represent the Number of the Beast(666) mentioned specifically in the "Book of Revelation".Katherine Albrecht,Liz_McIntyre authors of Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID,wrote a new book on the subject.John Conner, leader of an organization called "The Resistance of Christ" also believes there is a strong connection. Related subjects include "Eschatology"(last things)and Dispensationalism".
But what these people don't understand is the ease with which work will be done after the implementation of RFID.There will be so much saving of time and money.There will be no manual searching for a particular item in a factory.Whatever others say,I will go for RFID's development.What do you say?
Please spare some time to read this post that we have written on behalf of a good friend of ours in the blogosphere. By reading this post and spreading the word to the others around you, you could reunite two people who shared an extraordinary relationship. You could be the one to reunite two sisters.
Her name is Jackie Hooper, also known as Shinade. Her biological mother was Maxine Soape, but a couple had adopted her. According to her, besides her mother, she also had a younger sister as a family member. Just like her, her sister, who was born in 1959 or 1960 and is three years younger than her, had also been adopted out to another couple, by her own paternal uncle.
Both were born in the same hometown of East Texas, but are now being adopted by two different couples and have been separated since then. The sister is currently staying with her adopted parents in Pueblo, Colorado.
Jackie has never stood a chance to watch her younger sister grow, and has never even known what her sister’s name is.
As painful as it is to be worlds apart from your friends, it is even more painful to be worlds apart from your own flesh and blood. So readers, we hope that you can show some sense of empathy towards Jackie ‘Shinade’ Hooper who longs to rebuild her life with her younger sister whom she holds very dear in her heart throughout the years.
This is your chance to do something good for someone in our global society who is in need of our helping hands.
If you can provide any information about Jackie’s sister that would be able to assist Jackie in her search, we urge you to keep us in the loop or directly inform Jackie at her blog. Your liberality towards helping out in this search would be greatly appreciated by all of us here, but the one who would be most thankful to you is Jackie herself.
A little kindness goes a long way. Readers, please show your compassion towards someone who wants nothing else but to reunite with her beloved younger sister once again. They share a strong kinship, and they deserve to be together till the end of time.
Please read this special message from our friend, Jackie, and start doing your part in finding her long lost sister.
“My only message would be that I would so like to have the opportunity to get to know her and her family. I know she has children also. And, that I love her even though I don't know who she is or where she is.” – Jackie ‘Shinade’ Hooper
When I first looked at this widget,it made me laugh that how can someone calculate our happiness.But the questions which were to be answered for calculation looked really sensible.I don't know which questions carry positive marks and which negative,but what I say is answer them honestly.Don't worry whatever percent you are happy.
You Are 76% Happy |
 You are a very happy person. Generally, you feel content and that all is right with the world. Occasionally, you have a down day - but you have the ability to pick yourself right back up. |

Found this great post in one of my Friends-Barnabus Blog..So I though of sharing it with my readers..
As ancient English folklore goes we have all heard of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. One day it was found by the king that one of his knights had committed an unhonorable act by making a pass at the Lady Gwenevere. This knight was Sir Lancelot and quite out of his character but, yes, he had committed the act. The king commanded him to appear and at his appearance the king made an ultimatum. "Oh, Sir Lancelot, one of my beloved knights and most loyal, you have greatly disgraced me but because you are one of my best and most loved knights I will grant you one chance at freedom." The king went on, "I will pose a riddle to you, and, if you can solve this great question I will let you go free, but, if not, you will be sentenced to death by quartering." The knight was greatly distressed, but he answered the king, "Oh great king, pose the riddle to your most loyal knight." "The riddle is this, 'What do women want most?" The court was silent. Who, in any wisdom, could answer this great question. The knight replied, "Oh king, thank you for this great opportunity. How, I beg you, long do I have to answer the riddle?" The king said, "One week. I know you are loyal and a man of your word, you are free to search the land for the answer." The knight was on his way to find the answer. He sought high and low. On the first day, he sought wisdom from the ancients who answered him that it is not possible to know such a thing. The second day he went to the priest who answered that it was only God who could answer such a question. And so it continued day by day that no one could answer this great question. Finally, time was short, and the knight was becoming desperate. He found the powerful and very ugly witch of the southern lands. He besought her for her divination. She examining him answered him thus, "I will and am fully able to answer this question but you too must promise me one thing and I will answer thee." "What is it that you desire witch?" The knight interjected a little annoyed, knowing the deviousness of the witch. "You must promise to marry me, Oh knight." She answered The knight was shocked. But know the time was short, he thought for a brief moment and said, "I am short of life, I value my life greatly and because of this I will promise to marry you if you answer the riddle properly." "Knowing you are a knight and a man of your word I will answer you." The witch began with a slight smirk on her wickedly ugly face, "What do women want most?" She paused for a slight affect, "Women want most to have their own way." The knight and those of his train understood immediately that this was the right and proper answer. But to be sure the knight said, "I will give the king the answer and if it is so, I will return to marry you." and off he went. Riding hard to meet the king at the appointed hard the knight arrived. With but a few moments remaining the knight stood before the king. The king spoke, "Have you the answer to my riddle oh knight?" And the knight bowed he answered and a firm voice, "I do oh king!" The court became quite hushed with anticipation. "Answer then oh most loyal knight that you may be exonerated from your punishment!" the king commanded. "Women want most to have their own way, Oh king." The king smiled, "you are most wise knight, go on your way, you are free." The knight exited the court with relief but as soon as he walked out there was the witch waiting for him. "You remember your promise you most honorable knight, do you not?" She cackled. "Yes, I am a man of my word, this night I will marry you." "Very well, knight, and because you are a man of your word and honorable I will grant YOU a wish of your desire. I can be beautiful for you, BUT, I can either be beautiful for you in the late evenings that you may enjoy me as a wife OR I can be beautiful for you in the day that you may have honor among your men." she humbly paused "which will it be knight?" The knight being wise paused to think and while thinking he remembered the riddle that saved his life. "What do women want most?" The knight replied, "Witch, you choose which one you would have to be." The witch gravely said to him, "You are also very wise knight for you learn from your mistakes. For this I will be beautiful for you at all times." She cast her spell and instantly she became a very fair maiden. And the land was at peace again and there was a great celebration. For the moral of this story my friend is quite simple and that is, "Let the woman have her way or else things are going to get really ugly." Jeremiah 10:23 Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps

Dear Readers,
We hope that you can spare some of your time reading this article. It would mean a lot to one of our good friends in the blogosphere, if you can help her in this.
Our good friend named Sandy is currently searching for a person whom she had always regarded as her best friend. They were very close to each other, until a conflict between them arose. Ever since then, both of them lost touch of each other.
It has been nine long years since they last communicated with each other, and Sandy is deeply affected by her best friend’s absence. Her greatest wish right now is to reunite with her best friend and be close to her like before.
SANDY G
Her best friend’s name is Judy Sanford and is staying with her husband named Mike. According to Sandy, she was last found to be staying in California. Whether she is still staying in California or not is still a question mark. But you could be the person to answer the question!
If you happened to know Judy and her whereabouts, kindly inform us or inform Sandy directly via her blog. Even if you have never heard of Judy, you can still do your part by spreading this heartfelt message via your blogs.
Your immediate response to this message is greatly appreciated. What we are doing may be something small, but if all of us can put our hands together and be part of the search, it can bring two best friends together again after nine long years.
Sandy, please be strong in going through this obstacle in your life. Have great faith that miracles can happen, always look on the bright side of life, and believe that your long awaited wish could come true. We are here for you and will do our best to help you.
Judy, if you are reading this, please contact Sandy as soon as possible. She really misses you and wants to make up for the lost times. Let bygones be bygones. Hope that you will reciprocate Sandy’s feelings as soon as you can.
We watch them daily raising their little hands before strangers and most of the time they are screamed at. Isn’t it possible that these little beggars are just another group of harassed victims? Or worse, the ugly face of a bonded life, blatantly existing in metros.
Everyday we see a number of children begging on the roads and we just turn our backs on them by saying, "What can we do?"
More than our money, these little beggars expect compassion towards their tragic lives so that they could be rescued from this vicious circle of poverty and pain. They are helpless and seek public support.
A beggar’s life is far more tragic than we can imagine. Standing at traffic signals, begging for that elusive rupee or two in exchange for a flower or a balloon can be anything but personal choice.
Most begging children don’t actually have a choice. They just have to work irrespective of fever or any other disease. Teenager girl beggars suffer the worst. Be it a lorry-driver, auto-rickshaw driver or the notorious traffic policeman, all look at them with bad intention. And, the poor helpless girls cannot do much about it.
Informing more about this social evil, Rakesh Seneger, National Secretary, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, said, “The child beggars are part of a forced beggary racket. They are trained how to carry crutches to appear disabled on road and later paid Rs 10 or 20 as commission out of their daily earnings."
There are gang leaders that include females also, who keep a check on the beggars so that they could not steal the money. Or if children are found doing so they are beaten black and blue for that.
"In Delhi, many individuals in Rohini’s Lal Quarters area, have been allegedly running training centres for child beggars. Areas like Delhi ’s Mahipalpur, Mehrauli and Vasant Kunj traffic signals are the main begging points," said Seneger.
For some, the bonded beggary is the cost they pay after running away from their native land. But for others, it is the last choice to avoid a threat to be made a prostitute or served before any pedophile.
"My uncle takes away my daily-earnings and arranges food for us. We are four sisters and all of us work at this traffic signal. Though sometimes people are kind but sometime they are very rude. Many a times we find people gazing at us in a bad way. I don’t want to go to school. It doesn’t pay. I sell flowers at times at this traffic signal, but my sisters beg for our ailing mother’s treatment," said 14-year-old Anita (name changed) near Moti Bagh traffic signal.
There are occasional beggars, who are in the daily wage business and take to begging when the going gets tough. Sociologists say that the problem of begging exists due to the absence of organized system of charity.
"Begging is also seen as a respectable activity in India. In all, other societies, charity is seen as respectable. In order to have charity, you have to have the people who are to be benefited by charity. Unfortunately, in India, we could not evolve a mechanism for organised charity," said Purshotam Aggarwal, a sociologist.

Through the jongole I am went
On shooting Tiger I am bent
Boshtaard Tiger has eaten wife
No doubt I will avenge poor darling's life
Too much quiet, snakes and leeches
But I not fear these sons of beeches
Hearing loud noise I am jumping with start
But noise is coming from damn fool's heart
Taking care not to be fright
I am clutching rifle tight with eye to sight
Should Tiger come I will shoot and fall him down
Then like hero return to native town
Then through trees I am espying one cave
I am telling self - "Bannerjee be brave"
I am now proceeding with too much care
From far I smell this Tiger's lair
My leg shaking, sweat coming, I start pray
I think I will shoot Tiger some other day
Turning round I am going to flee
But Tiger giving bloody roar spotting Bengalee
He bounding from cave like footballer Pele
I run shouting "Kali Ma tumi kothay gele "
Through the jongole I am running
With Tiger on my tail closer looming
I am a telling that never in life
I will take risk again for my damn fool wife !!!!!
This is a message I received from my friend-SAMANT CHATURVEDI.After reading it,I felt guilty for forwarding all those stupid messages which I had forwarded to him which I had received from others asking to forward them.
I want to thank all my friends and other unknown people who have
forwarded chain letters to me in 2001, 2002,2003, 2004 ,2005 ,2006
&
now 2007.
Because of your kindness:
I stopped drinking Coca-Cola after I found out that it's good only for
removing
toilet stains.
I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected
with AIDS
I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they
cause
cancer.
I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to
dial a
stupid number and then I get a phone bill from hell with calls to
Uganda ,
Singapore and Tokyo.
I also stopped drinking water outside for fear that I will get
sick from
the rat shit and urine.
When I go to parties, I don't look at any girl, no matter how hot she
is, for
fear that she will take me to a hotel, drug me, then take my kidneys
and leave
me taking a nap in a bathtub full of ice.
I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl
that was
about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times. (Poor girl! she's been
7 since
1993...)
My free Nokia phone never arrived and neither did the free passes for a
paid
vacation to Disneyland.
Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Dalai Lama, Ganesh
Vandana,
Tirupathi Balaji pics etc..
Now most of those "Wishes" are already married (to someone else)!
