Understanding Golf

Golf always had been a mysterious game for me. Until I saw the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance . Not  only it entertains you but also gives a deep understanding of the game.   I would say its a must watch movie if you are Golf illiterate.

CrossLoop - Everyone Helps

Helping others on mailing list and open forums has just gone one step further. Today came across this web service where one can ask for help from people on various issues like installing a software for you or configuring a device on your computer. Why would one help someone for free ? For me the reason would be I come to learn more. May be for someone it be just a goodwill gesture Why would someone ask help for free ? Come across a situation where you have to ask for help may be from OEM manufacturer and pay for it. Does that answers the question or should I explain !!!. From now on I can help CrossLoop - Everyone Helps

Toy story

Image
In my childhood, toys were my fascination as would be for any kid. I drooled for them like anything.  I still remember that red trailer with a boat on its load. It had the finest curves and appeal that would even make Katrina look flabby. It was so strong that it handled hits and accidents , in my imaginative world. Who will not long for such a companion, which was darling of your yesteryears. This longing made me search for the same toy in every possible place, name a biggest toy store and I have been their. My search was not limited to toy stores, it took me to local  choor bazzar  but no success. Instead I have noticed that toys these days are not curved for curves and finished well, as they were in my childhood.Those days they were finest piece of art , with those attractive bright colors and miniature seats. Why I fail to find the same stuff now ?   May be manufacturers ...

SiCKO

Through the movie I was in state of shock.  America the most developed country of the world has the meanest health care system. It was not difficult to make out that Indian health care system, is heading towards the same. May god bless us and give us all good health so we never have to face a doctor and their medical bills.

No word be spoken by thee

I did not update my blog for these many days as was busy getting familiar with few newest technology. Having said that should I say busy, when my schedule involved 8 hrs of sleep and10 hrs of office, remaining be rust time.  On this note I should confess updating blog was not the most pressing need for me in last few days as I was occupied with many other things. Crux is I am back with updating the blog and coding. Last few months I worked on W-Fi , took time to understand it. Researched a lot on what to buy and how to secure aired network. After all that sweat, I am a proud owner of a wireless Linksys router enabling data transfer through air between my Laptop , 2 Computers and Internet, no more wires.  Its now that my Laptop works truly like a Lap-Top , Bed-top and sometimes roof-top. Isn't that exciting being wired with no wires. Besides my brush with latest ...

New browser on shelf

Image
For some Internet explorer is the one and only browser in the world and they swear by it.  Techies swear by firefox for its speed and now comes the promising browser from Mac world to windows. Lately Apple is eager to bring Mac world goodies to Wintel platform. Starting of with i-Tune on windows it now ports its browser. Safari started of with Microsoft deciding to withdraw its Mac version of Internet explorer. Since then safari has come a long way. I downloaded safari (a 7.X MB download) without the Mac's master piece software Quick time. Installed it and as far as the looks goes my first word was WOW ! (sorry that's not the windows wow). Moreover safari is readily available with popular plugins like flash player, Adobe reader which is a good move. Remember teething days of Mozilla (Father to Firefox) it  seriously lacked on such plugins which pushed its adoption further. Despite the claims of Saf...

Why do you workout ?

This is the question my trainer asked me today. He rightly pointed out that I still look the same with those jumbo sized love handles. I had hard time explaining him I workout because I want to : Sleep tight Eat what I want to eat So why should one workout ? to keep good health and enjoy the same, with mouth watering food and cozy bed to sleep on. What you say?

We willi winki

Image
Its not about the single citizen of this nation. All of them have the most casual approach when it comes to culture, tradition and protocol. This was very well proved when the first citizen winked at Her Royal Highness. I personally consider Americans self spoiled people, they give a damn to any protocol, but when it comes to business they are the best. They are mixture of a sindhis and marvari who knows how to earn money. Live life king size like our Punjabis who knows how to spend money with royalty. When will they start respecting others and plead for their gaffe with a wink.

Life relived

I ignored Television and internet for 2 weeks and guess what ? I regained myself , I re-connected with me. Now that I have detached myself from my TV I have more time to spend for recreational activities. I found my taste of music. Shortly I would be joining music classes, again something on my once in a lifetime to do list. May God bless those, who are plagued with Television, as they don't know what they are doing. On the same time have mercy on me lord save me from Television

Namastey London

Awesome is the word for this movie . Why did I like the movie ? Simply because this movie had everything in it Romance Patriotism Nostalgia for ones native place Above all it had the glamour of Katrina , director Vipul had done a good job by giving Katrina few lines to speak and more clothes to wear. Making it a true family movie. Believe me guys this movie would make you laugh like anything , I shouted and clapped in theatre after so many years. What are you waiting for go and watch this movie its value for money.

King of Hearts

Image
A master piece in making. I changed the bigger photo to the King of hearts Card. How did I do that ? It's simple Crop the left part of the original Photo Downloaded Gimp , this tool has been my favourite than Photoshop. Above all its GPL'ed , in English it means "free software". Paste the cropped photo onto a transparent background, tilt it by 10 degrees . Remove everything from background and lets call this image B. Now on a White background create a red rectangle in middle of the bigger rectangle. Paste the photo with no background (image B) onto the middle of the rectangle paste one more photo and rotate it 180 degrees such that it is mirror effect of other. Now merge all the layers to the background and Wallah !!! my own King of hearts card is ready to show off.

iPhone next big thing to indulge in

Image
Just went through the apple website, ogling the iPhone. I would say this is the next big thing to buy, a all in one gadget with iPod , Camera , Phone and Internet. From the reports it seems in India this would cost somewhere about Rs. 50,000. Apple says they would release it in June,in India this may come by in July next year. Moreover don't know what all Mobile technology it is going to work on, as iPhone was in partnership with Cingular. Many questions less answers looking forward to buy this Life time Gadget. I would start saving right now. Want to view videos for iPhone check http://www.apple.com/iphone

Fasting of a new era

I would be on fast from 2 January 2007 to 10 Feb 2007. This fasting would of 21st century style, would keep off from internet for next few days. I believe this will help me to explore other hobbies and information sources. This act comes after, I got fed-up from spending long hours on internet without any creative results. Wish me luck and yes their will not be any posts till 10 Feb 2007. I would come back with Photographs of my sisters marriage.
