Last two days was quite hectic and I was literally tired writing assignments and preparing for tests…
Oops … writing assignment is really a tedious task
it would be nice to have a sister or a girl friend at least 🙂 so that they would have helped me writing assignments… 😉
But somehow I managed to finish everything myself in time. 🙂
I was looking for a part-time MS course almost for 2 years and I finally chose Manipal University.
I joined a month before and attended the orientation program yesterday. it went quite well.
First they played a short film of Manipal University and started giving introduction about this corporate program. It seems good. The actual classes are to be started from next week. 🙂
So Form now on I will not have any weekends for one year. 6 days in office and one whole day in college. Let me see how well it’s going and eager to tackle the obstacles that happen during this period of time.
I hope I would do something good and well in my technology and move forward in my career.
All the best to me 😉

i finally a bought a new laptop yesterday.
its HP DV4 1242 TX. it looks cool and have a pretty good configuration.
today ill create a recovery disc first and then will start all sort of R&D in my laptop 🙂
hv a look at my laptop….
I’m planning to buy a laptop and started hunting the web for a gud one.
At First I thought of buying Apple Mac Book and then stepped back as I hv to spend too much (60K) for a basic model itself.
So I hopped to Sony vaio VGN-CS12ghb which cost around 45000 inr.
But it has only1 gig ram which is not sufficient. So I enquired about upgrading it to 3gig and got a price quote of RS 47000.
I also have an eye on HP DV4-1240TX that cost around 50,800 inr.
It has a better configuration.

Rahman, our very own A.R.Rahman has finally did it.
He bagged two Oscars for best original score and original song (with gulzar). His acceptance speech was awesome and I’m happy that he talked in Tamil in the end.
Before coming, I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt like that was during my marriage. There’s a dialogue from a Hindi film called “Mere paas ma hai,” which means “I have nothing but I have a mother,” so mother’s here, her blessings are there with me. I am grateful for her to have come all the way. And I want to thank the Academy for being so kind, all the jury members. I want to thank Sam Schwartz, I/D PR, all the crew of Slumdog, Mr. Gulzar,Raqueeb Alam, Blaaze, my musicians in Chennai and Mumbai. And I want to tell something in Tamil, which says, which I normally say after every award which is ella puhazhum iraivanukke: “God is great.” Thank you.
And for the second award for The Best Original Song “JAI HO” acceptance speech,
I just want to thank again the whole crew of SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, especially Danny Boyle for giving such a great opportunity. And the whole, all the people from Mumbai. The essence of the film which is about optimism and the power of hope in the lives, and all my life I had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I’m here. God bless”.
Love you Rahman…..

Exploring the oceans no longer requires a wetsuit.
Ocean in Google Earth, which launched today, builds on the free, popular 3-D mapping software Google Earth by allowing users to navigate underwater in unprecedented clarity.
New “layers” to the satellite-based software include topographic maps of the seafloor; locations of shipwrecks and algal blooms; and even maps of the tiny phytoplankton that provide the bulk of the ocean’s food chain.
Within the layers, users can explore multimedia features that combine data and maps with videos, quizzes, and other interactives.
The new fish-eye view—accessible via a free upgrade—aims to provide a public platform for users to talk about the oceans, said John Hanke, director of Geo Products at Google. “It really is a means… [of] raising geographical awareness of oceans and … the pressures that are being put on life in the ocean,” he added.
Into the Blue
The idea first came to well-known marine biologist Sylvia Earle at a conference in Madrid a few years ago, when she addressed Hanke during a presentation.
“I just blurted it out,” Earle, a National Geographic explorer-in-residence, recalled. (National Geographic News is owned by the National Geographic Society.) ”
I said, I hope someday, John, you’ll finish [Google Earth]. You’ve done a great job with the dirt, but there’s all that water out there—the world is blue.”
Seventy-two percent of the Earth is covered by oceans. For More News >> Courtesy: NGC
