Hi dear readers,

Sorry for not writing for a very long time indeed. I won’t make silly excuses to save myself from your complains.But, then it may make you think why after so long am I writing? The reason is a bit obvious and everyone knows about the terrorist attacks in Mumbai on 26-11. Today we celebrate one year. The memory is still fresh. Still we can feel the pain of Mumbai and India as a whole.

India remembers 26-11 anniversary – a day that reminds one of the worst attacks, a day when many people lost their lives, a day of victory of good over evil and a day when we realized we were Indians first and Hindu/Muslim/Sikh afterwards.

Mumbai, or Amchi Mumbai was witness to one of the worst terror attacks. Although now the situations have become stable, one can still remember that day when most of India was praying for people in Taj Hotel. That day it was not Hindu, not Muslim, not Sikh who was fighting (as on normal days). They were Indians who were fighting against something the world is also trying to fight with (I am talking about terrorism here).

To know more about the attacks (if you still don’t know) you can visit [ ......... ]

1) Yes, 70 lakhs crores rupees of India are lying in Switzerland banks. This is the highest amount lying outside any country, from amongst 180 countries of the world, as if India is the champion of Black Money.

2) German Government has officially written to Indian Government that they (German Government) are willing to inform the details of holders of 70 lakh crore rupees in their Banks, if Indian Government officially asks them.

3) On 22-5-08, this news has already been published in The Times of India and other Newspapers based on German Government’s official letter to Indian Government.

4) But the Indian Government has not sent any official inquiry to Germany for details of money which has been sent outside India between 1947 to 2008.. The opposition party is also equally not interested in doing so because most of the amount is owned by politicians and it is every Indian’s money.

5) This money belongs to our country. From these funds we can repay 13 times of our country’s foreign debt. The interest alone can take care of the Center’s yearly budget. People need not pay any taxes and we can pay Rs. 1 lakh to each of 45 crore poor families.

6) Let us imagine, if Swiss Bank is holding Rs. 70 lakh Crores, then how much [ ......... ]

Ever wondered how a mathematician would write a love letter ? Without wasting your time, here I present you a love letter written by our very own Pythagoras

De-Morgan’s Law,

Binomial Avenue,

United States of Matrices.

My Dear Love,

Yesterday, I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. There I saw your cute circular face,conical nose and spherical eyes,standing in your triangular garden.

Before seeing you my heart was a null set, but when a vector of magnitude (likeness) from your eyes at a deviation of theta radians made a tangent to my heart, it differentiated.

My love for you is a quadratic equation with real roots, which only you can solve by making good binary relation with me.

The cosine of my love for you extends to infinity. I promise that I should not resolve you into partial functions but if I do so, you can integrate me by applying the limits from zero to infinity. You are as essential to me as an element to a set. The geometry of my life revolves around your acute personality. My love, if you do not meet me at parabola restaurant on date 10 at sunset, when the sun is making an angle of 160 degrees, my heart would be like a solved polynomial of degree 10. With love from your higher [ ......... ]

Engineering can have side effects too. Have a look at the following conversation between a software engineer and his wife.

Nowadays, technology is developing. Each day you’ll find new technology coming up. But, is technology used as it should be? Not in every case.

One of the most common scenes that you’ll find in Delhi is accident. I mean pick up any newspaper and you’ll find it filled with such news. Delhities feel a pride in breaking rules, and the most common being young riders, the ones who are under 18 years of age. They don’t even hold a valid license; neither do they follow other rules.
Teenagers have hot blood as it is said. They don’t think about themselves or others. So they bet each other for a race. They drive like hell, I mean it. 80 km/hr on a crowded road isn’t cool. The last day, I saw young students, somewhere aged between 12-15 years driving the active on road. Well, neither did they break one rule, they broke many others including no helmets and jumping of signals. I don’t know why they do this. I mean even I am under 18, but I at least drive safe, I wear a helmet and drive within the permissible limits.
Well, it’s not just the two wheelers, the teenagers feel prouder to ride four wheelers. They drive it like they are the only one riding, horning as if others are deaf. Well this actually makes me angry. I mean everything has a limit!

Michael Jackson died of a cardiac arrest on Friday. He was only 50. The greater tragedy is that he had been reduced to a husk nearly a decade before that: a paranoiac playing peek-a-boo with the public, sometimes ‘showing up’ in Bahrain in a burqa, at another time in Los Angeles with his three children, their faces masked, and his own covered with a kerchief in an eerie grotesquerie.
Relentless media scrutiny drove the troubled superstar further into his shell leaving him a diminished man, reduced from a supreme talent to a tabloid kicker: Wacko Jacko.

Well, Jackson’s gone, into the Great Beyond. Away from the world that weighed him down. His fans can only pray for him: Thrust In Peace.

The great singer is no more. Rest in peace MJ. A sad day for all his fans over the world.

Our constitution provided reservation for the backward communities to come up and be at par with the general people. But 50 years after independence, this reservation is still present. Are the people taking undue advantage of it? General category is trying to survive. Every passing year either sees an increase in reservation or new reserved classes coming up, the most recent being the Gujjar case. Most of the seats are reserved.

What is left are some seats for which thousands compete while the other seats go empty most of the times. Is it the time to remove or reduce the reservation? Moreover our politicians use reservation as their own technic.
We urgently need reservations? If so, here’s the wish list.

1. The Olympic Council should allocate One-Fifth of all Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to India; we are One-Fifth humanity after all. And historically India was enslaved by Britishers therefore not allowing Indian sports to develop to its potential. No, we don’t need better sports facilities; we don’t need good sports administrators (No Way!) – We need the medals reserved for us. Come on guys; don’t start the argument of merit. Olympics are not about who can run or swim the fastest. It is a great world event, and everything should be [ ......... ]

Review-

Well let’s begin with the positives.

The storyline is quite new, something you haven’t seen in the past – and as most of us know it comes from the book ‘Q n A’ by Mr Vikas Swarup (a indian bureaucrat by profession… have you noticed how many indian bureaucrats especially on foregin postings are writing books these days! No real work to do .. eh?). The acting by small kids is good – they shine compared to their older ‘avatars’ in the movie.

Yeah, i didn’t have too many positives sorry – inspite of the hype.

Now, for the things which i did not like.
The movie has this fundamental problem – it is not ‘engaging’. A movie must tie you down to your seat, and want you to look forward to the next scene, and the next, and the next… but this one doesn’t. Then there is the music – it is one of the mediocre works of A.R.Rahman. Except for the couple of songs which are good, the background score as a whole is disappointing and it doesn’t stay with you. The main protagonist ‘Jamal’ played by ‘Dev [ ......... ]
