Wiser with age?

Why do we always happen to think that people older are also wiser?

Feelings for a new life!

Wonderfully amazing

Mysteriously quiet

A mixture of feelings…

Fear and delight….

Moments to long for….

Moments of pain and joy….

A new life within me…

Almost unbelievable,

No proof of existence…

Yet true…

Welcome dear one

The worlds for you!

MIND DEATH!

Is life about "waiting"?

Make somebody's day!

Say they did a great job!

and the wonderful feeling is mutual...!

The Journey of a thousand miles

From the city of Pearls to Tamil Nadu – Chennai

In Golkonda we were able to see a sound and light show as they call it where the history of all the empires that reigned were outlined. The city of pearls looked nothing like pearls. It was so dusty that I had to have my face covered most of the time. Hyderabad is also said to be famous for its buriyani. Ironically for us fried rice seemed to be much tastier. The pearls were splendid.

Chennai

In January 2004 I visited big brother India’s capital new Delhi. Today, almost three years later I have had the opportunity of getting a taste of the south of India for the first time.

There is so much of variety and differences that it is sometimes so hard to believe that all this is one country. Everything was so different from place to. From the colour of their skin to the language they spoke. Their attitudes and culture however did not vary very much. They were friendly and helpful people; sometimes waiting to get as much money out of you as possible. They take comparatively much less salt and sugar which was not very palatable for us. In tamil Nadu they speak tamil so we didn’t feel all that alien. However the tamil they speak drastically differs from what we speak.

Banglore, Myslre and Ooty

The difference between traveling in Sri Lanka and traveling in India is that a journey in Sri Lanka has a beginning, middle and an end. In India, the journey has a beginning, beginning and beginning. As you can see most of the pics are from a moving vehicle.

Intelligent Word Processes

Since of late I have been documenting content because I know that my head is not the safest mode of transport and storage of information. For this purpose, I have employed the good old Ms Office - MS word processor which is a fairly reasonable tool to support my needs. However, I find that Word is still not adequate in many ways. Comparing it with Open office does have huge short comings. Nope – no one from Sun Microsystems is paying me to say this. (I wish). And I’m not promoting FOSS, I have no reason to do that.

Well though word comes with a dictionary and thesaurus and the very good features like spell checker for the weak spellers like me I am not impressed to find that simple typing errors are easily ignored by most word applications that lack a more intelligent solution. What I would like to see may be in the next version is - the word processor making sense out of the content that I am typing and figure out that a word such as Ass could be a mistype of the word ‘as’. Typing ‘god’ instead of ‘good’ could be a slip of the finger. Of course the popping up of an annoying paperclip will be out of the question but the document can be checked when I exit it and such mistakes can be prompted to the user. May be this is something that open source developers can consider contributing if it is not already on the cards. Other features could be to make summaries of documents or research articles and white papers to save the researcher’s reading time.

I am expecting to see some of it in the future versions and I hope I will not be let down!

WEDNESDAY!

The only lucky day to be the end and the beginning at the same time.
The end of the beginning and the beginning of the end!

Oronym

A term that describes words like "I scream" and "ice cream"? "Some others" and "some mothers"?(Definitions)

Oronym. "...In the case of Toyota and toy Yoda, our brains are faced with "oronyms" – virtually identical speech that can be interpreted in different ways. English is full of these devilish duos. For example, I scream versus ice cream, a notion versus an ocean, and some others versus some mothers..." (extract from the CBC's Words, Woe and Wonder site)

Now is all I have to live

Married one year and two months – a year that went unbelievably fast. Still feels like just a couple of months. Makes me think that I will be looking at my whole life backwards one day and thinking “Oh My god it’s over”

There is only one chance to live… to pick up the pieces and stop wasting my time. I have written a hundred million things, started off at least 20 different projects that I intend completing within my life time, I have dreamt and I am still dreaming of the future realities. I know it’s up to me to start rebuilding and ending things I have started before my life ends…

In many ways it is better to be underestimated than overestimated
