IISc campus at shoot out.

Image
Shoot out in an International conference? A terror that struck an international conference at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) campus on Wednesday night killing a retired Mathematics professor from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, M.C. Puri, and seriously injuring four others including one of the inventors of the Simputer. According to eye witness accounts,a lone gunman[in campus...security pleaseeeeeeeeee] threw greenades and fled.Where does terrorism come in an conference of Operational Research?Some says it is an attack on Science[Sounds like a fan of Angels And Demons]. This has created a bad effect on Bangalore's Securtiy as such including the murder & rape of a BPO employee. SIXTY SECONDS OF MAYHEM [Source: Indian Express ] 1. 7.15 pm: After seminar at J N Tatar auditorium, opposite main IISc campus, delegates move to Satish Dhawan (CSIC) auditorium, 100 metres away, for a meeting 2. 7.20 pm: Gun-wielding man emerges from wooded parking area between two ...

As I know him.......

Too early for my next post huh? Jst check it out. As I know him.... Sleepy eyes peeping from desk; bookworm chewing at itz best; Sharemarket and internet as his mission, spreads magic with his diction. This was all,my classmate, As I know him,just an appendage. But his recherche’traits I knew late, which then made him look great. Thereupon the facts stand apart, sleepy eyes look sensitive; bookworm became informative. Deep inside I found a caring heart, ready to help out in distress, And winsome enough to impress. Trifling is his past time, I was scapegoat at times, Music is one among his favorite; And a guy who detest cricket. Lots more to say about my comerade, With whom I had oodles of chats, Still have discoveries to be made, And now he is one of my best buddies. Now do you accept with my last post !!!!!!

Poet….huh!!!Am I?

I was ransacking my bookshelves in the name of cleaning & jst stumbled upon my school calender, a very old one.There was a poem [As I call it] written in my own sprawly handwriting. Here it is… I wish I were….. I was on my maiden flight enjoying the dizzy heights, I felt I was a kite, flying free in sky. Curious, I was to know about the crew, the attenstion of airhostess,I drew. When I stretched my hands to take some sweets which are few, She asked me how many I would like to chew? She had gentle looks and soft voice, smiling face ;full of grace, Curious passengers were full of enquires, to whom she has her pleasing replies. It said that her salary was attractive, indeed her job too. I wish I were an airhostess flying in the air,with a beautiful dress, Flying round and round, up in the sky. Do u call this a poem? When did I write this? It is dated as June-18th,1998.I never remember writing one such poem.I don’t think...

Ganguly IN or OUT

It was a poignant moment in the career of India's most successful test captain Saurav Ganguly , dropped from the test squad on Thursday to all but end his international career.Having pushed Sri Lanka paceman Chaminda Vaas for a single during the second test which India won on Wednesday, Ganguly intently watched as the shot was replayed a few times on the giant screen. In his prime, Ganguly would have caressed that drive for four past cover. With selection at stake, it had to be a mere prod.In the end, Indian selectors lost patience by excluding him for the third and final test in Ahmedabad to focus on youth, all but ending the left-handed batsman's international career.The omission came despite his useful knocks of 40 and 39 to help India rally to a 188-run victory. In October, he was sacked as captain and one-day player after a prolonged batting slump and a row with coach Greg Chappell.He barely kept his place for the first two Sri Lanka tests after chief selector Kiran More w...

2005-A year of Natural Disasters

Though there r many gud things to write about this specific year the main thing that comes to mind is all the natural disasters that occurred through out the world. Beginning with Massive Indonesian Quake in February the year had faced a lot of quakes, volcanoes and storms. Then was the heavy rainfall at Mumbai that caused inundation of large masses of land .Had storms of varying names like Katrina, Wilma in America, a quake at Pakistan then lashing Chennai in the form of rain where people who did puja for bringing in rains ,are now doing the same for ending up the monsoon. And finally a large 5.9 earthquake that struck southern Iran. Jaggy has done a foto feature on Chennai Rains All these years v were quite carelessly working out things without considering the impact on nature. Now itz the nature's time to put us all into problems. Starting of with Tsunami of Dec 26th 2004 the climate has seen various changes with heavy snow and rainfalls and drought at many places in earth. Atle...

Traffic-cops and Bribe

We Indians always have this habit of portraying the traffic police as bad guys, since they demand bribe. But how many of us accept the fact that, in most cases (lets say 90%), he's demading bribe, since we broke the law. How many of us have the courage, to stand up and say that i'ld pay the fine instead of bribing him. Till today, I havent bribed a traffic cop. Even at times when i was caught for running past thr' RED signals, exceeding speed, i'ld insist paying the fine, and they let me go. Many times, I had scoffed at them, as they demand meagre amount such as 30-50Rs.It might sound a bit cheap, on their part, but the reality is that their financial condition is in such a bad state. I'm sure that their monthly pay would not be more than 7-8K, with no incentives. And even if he's uncorrupt, a traffic constable doesnt have the authority to fine; only a traffic seargent has the rights. So that being the case, the only way to punish the traffic voilaters is to bug...

Weekend Outings.

Oops!!Exams postponed.I started pondering where to go atleast to give a short break.Finally convinced my parents for a drive towards a village called Tamaripakkam, around 35 kms from my place where Chinmaya's mission Temple is located. So thought of venturing out to that place since itz not an usual one where we normally roam around. A nice and calm place away from citie's dust and noise .It was exactly like a village shown in films with paddy fields on both sides of the wide highway.The monsoon has caused a wonderful effect on the weather and the paddy fields.The fresh air made us to pull down our car windows which is normally pulled up to avoid dust.Mom packed our lunch so that it wuld not b necessary to drive back again quickly.We reached the place around 12:30.The 65ft tall Temple and Satsang Hall is designed in the form of a Shiva Lingam. A Sphatika Lingam - an 'endless' form in crystal encrusted with diamonds and the granite linga was consecrated by the pouring o...

A visit to Singapore.

Singapore is actually called as Mini–India, but I would call it as Mini-TamilNadu. When venturing out of India for the first time, I was more worried about food with capital ‘F’ than the other factors like altitude fears. Missing mom’s idlies and Dosas was a horrible option to me. But was quite relieved to have all Chennai dishes out there. Out of all the places I visited in Singapore, I am jst putting down some of the best places I rem’bered. Sentosa Island: The Sentosa Island is located in the South of the city. The tropical forests which covered formerly the essence of the island of Singapore are limited today to the center where we find vast natural reserves. There are several ways to reach Sentosa Island, but the best is to take the cable car from Mt. Faber. The cable car offers some dramatic views of the city and Sentosa Island. Mt. Faber is not a terribly high mountain, but it is high enough to offer a good vantage point of the city. The Night Safari: The Night Safari is one ...

Rise and Fall of the Third Reich- a Review

The Rise & Fall of The Third Reich is a voluminous showcase of history during the Second World War. As the title suggests, it deals with Nazi Germany & more specifically Adolf Hitler & his brand of the Superior ’’Aryan’’ race. The book starts of with the birth of Hitler, his childhood & his brand of ideals. The pace is very meticulous & credit must go to the writer to script Hitler’s childhood. The pace slowly quickens as Hitler moves to Austria. Over 1400 pages of tightly spaced print and more footnotes than you can shake a stick at. However, it is an immensely rewarding read as Shirer presents the facts and tells the Reich's various stories in a very readable way. At certain points the reading can become heavy, especially when the author takes time out of the main timeline to explain side lines of interest, such as the almost amusing German plot to force the abdicated former King of England to speak well of the Reich during the war. By and large, though, the i...

Interview-Cleared.

I was jst wondering what to blog…then my frnd just pointed out to blog about my native. Confused how this is connected to the title???? I thought a topic that played a major role in my campus interview would be a good topic to blog about. Before telling U how this helped me out let me tell U something about my native. Though living in dust filled and noisy Chennai [Chennai fans please forgive me], I rightly belong to a calm village called Chelakkara, which is a valley and is surrounded by the Machat Mountains on all the four sides. This village belongs to the cultural headquarters of Kerala- Thrissur. My mom’s native is Thrissur. According to Malayalees, the kid follows her mom’s custom. Thus I follow my mom’s custom. The term Thrissur is the abbreviated anglicized form of the Malayalam word "THRIS-SIVA-PERUR" which means the town of the "SACRED SIVA”. It is the place of 3 Shivan temples - Thiruvambadi temple, Vadakkunathan Temple and Pamamekkavu. [Names look different r...

Silence

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go... s i l e n t ??? Let me assist you in recalling... ... the moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards independence.. ...the moment when the girl/boy you like most.. smiled back at you! You dont say anything.. you just smile back. ... the moment when you get better marks than you expected... those "numb" moments of ecstacy n surprise "is that true?"... ... the moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast... ... the moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,"You are through! Congrats!". ... the moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyo...
