Do you know there is another search engine that is coming up... and it claims it is better than Google and it is called kool spelled as "cuil".
Do you know what does R.S.V.P on the wedding cards mean?
Do you know at 32nm the supply voltage is just 1V? .
Do you know there is something coming up called third world?
and lot many other stuff like in a sec I can take out a cube root of a number? ... No I didn't know all the stuff but lot many other people knew whom I daily talk.... and then I also came to know.
Sometimes it is good to talk, make lot of friends and not hesitate in asking naive questions to random people and then may be you have a friend who proactively tells you and lot many other stuffs.
So what he /she thinks you are not aware of basic general knowledge or basic stuff.
It is never late to know something new ...and it can be on geography to general knowledge to technical to finances whatever it will be, it will be something new and more fun to know.
There is always just a one person behind that knowledge and ignorance.
So ignorant me keep meeting those knowledgable people almost every day.
It is fun try it out keep talking about anything which you want to know to anybody, I am sure you will realise you came to know something new which you didn't know before and you made a friend to discuss on more.
Best part is I also came to know that there is a term called "Information Retreival" for this and that too from a newly found friend :) and they have a course on the same in their school.
Interesting isn't it.
So Keep Talking, Keep Asking and Keep Learning!!!!

Today Tears are not stopping!!!!
I am sad, I am crying and idiot me not able to even stop myself and say to myself look someone died ... but he died happily.I dont know that person at all, I just heard his videos, I just read his book, he doesn't exist in my day to day life, No if he doesn't I cann't be so sad...he does exist in every bit of my life in my every day, his ideas are the one I want and trying to get in my day to day life, and they will live forever in so many lives.
Today Professor Randy Pausch died.
No words to type but so many thoughts as if someone has holded my heart tight.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/books/07/25/obit.pausch/index.html
He told simple things in a more simpler way, which we keep forgetting in our day to day life.
Don't we know we shoud be making our people special... we do definitely.
Our parents, our other halfs,our kids, thanking our friends you made this possible but how many times we do it.
He kept on doing it whenever he got a chance. (simple isn't it )
How many times do we do in a week, month or an year ok b'days we do right :) why do we need to wait for b'days to do so... why can't every day be a celebration. Mentioning someone you are really important in my life doesn't cost too much but I can assure it will give that someone happiness, or a simple smile, or may be a blush.
I know I may sound confusing or may be redundant but why are these sooo simple things so confusing.
Why every day is alwys with the list of To dos and ranting on my days are long.
"Enjoy the Ride", Work can be fun too, in my childhood I used to play " office office ", I used to go to work with my fraud bag, and my sisters spectacles depicting I am very hardworking and studious geek. It was fun back then but now I keep hearing those terms like monday blues and yes another day or week started.
He just said as simple as it can be If you are not having fun you are not at the right place... :) you can be tired but still have fun... ( don't you get tired when you dance, or gym but still you are enjoying every bit of it).
Every day is special, every person who had some specific purpose in your life are special.
Make them feel special... it is ok if you are not too excited about "Mothers day or Valentines Day".Make your own days... :).
Let the person whom you are making special decide if he /she is enjoying or smiling a little on it or not.
Follow your passion and just enjoy the ride!!!! All the great guys, be it Gandhi, Pausch, Jobs etc etc said similar things, they have done that so they say, but still I wonder how we keep forgeting these simple things :(.
Make every day very special and live every day as today is the day you have lot to accomplish all the fun is today and all the work is today...
Let Randy Pausch!!! live in our lives...

Murphy Law!!!!
Out of all the laws ... After Newton's Law of Gravitation which drives the whole universe and Moore's Law which is all over my dissertation and provides me my bread and butter.
The next law which I respect, adheres and keep ranting about is "Murphy's Law".
This law states - Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
I find murphy's law the most significant and the one that drives me nuts at times have you ever noticed the day you are late to work the bus is always early and so is your boss worst is, he is looking for you.
The coin that flips always fall on the farthest most edge under the table.
Things sudddenly stops working the moment you are confident and assured to show it to your boss and prove you made it work. The research you have been doing since long has been done and even published though you did all the backgoround literature survey.
It happens, omnipresence of this law is in our day to day and still we keep ignoring it.
Nothing is as easy as it looks and if everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something and obviously it will take longer than you think.
If you think this law is overly pessimistic than you belong to different school of thought and I am more than happy to argue... I am sure for me this law enables us to make you little more cautious, smile and still be happy as you atleast have something to say... when your working stuff suddenly stop working and you are about to show it to your manager or he is right in front of you - ( Oop's murphy law is in action now).
OK now
Smile... tomorrow will be worse - no not me it is murphy's philosphy !!!!! (Though I am hoping this tomorrow never comes)

Blogging!!!!
Blog by wikipedia means -> A blog (an abridgment of the term web log) is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events.
Someone told me blogging shouldn't be writing a freaking dairy!!!, and he is a blogger too, as blogging is in rave and there are all sought of people dabbling into it so am I, not that I realise everyone is getting into it so should I. I have been writing my dairies from the day I remember my existence.
ok, I know my english sucks, but still I believe language should be a medium to convey what you are thinking. I see blogging as sharing one's experience, your opinion that can be on anything, bookmarking anything you feel and can be shared.
Take away from blogging -> ok I have stopped measuring things in terms of gains and loses, for it is just pleasure and fun that drives me now.
If you want share how your day goes, what you think , your random thoughts, your scribbles, lesson and if it is fun to you and others. sharing and caring is always good!!! and for those it is not - please ignore.
I write blog to pen down all the thoughts good or bad, I pen down my mistakes so that I keep a tab on when I do it again and it is ok to let the world know if they are interested and if they are not again we should learn to ignore and forget, I use it be in touch with people I always want to be, it is just a scribbling...and cann't be defined.
I have seen blogs on cooking, biking what not... it is ok to write sometime and let the world know what you feel isn't it... There will definitely be someone, sometime somewhere sitting out there who likes to know what you feel, like or dislike.
It is fun to scribble it helps :)... If there is no one interested again learn to forget, forgive and ignore (sometimes these 3 L's are one of the keys to remain happy) .
Keep Scribbling!!!!!!!

Networking!!!!
"It is all about people, who you know, it is about networking, it is about being nice to people and to know them for a purpose".
I joined a new company last summers of 2007, excited with new heavenly laid back place where I am going to spend next three months.
A very good old friend of mine offered me a ride from the hotel to the company for orientation though the company was walking distance from the hotel and company has a shuttle too to add more to I always want to walk and know my ways if the place is new... By nature I hate dependency, I like to explore, rather depending on anyone. I would love to get tired,pay, crib still be on my own and explore, I never like a easy way out... as I have got so much used to the turns... that I have started loving them. I guess that is why people go hiking right!!! as they don't like the straight roads :)... I belong to that category.
Coming back to the reason I started writing this post.
On his way to the company and my very first day, he asked me to make contacts.
I guess who ever enters in this very professional world this is the mantra "Networking" in short to make contacts so that you can use them at your disposal.
You have an interview and you mostly write a thankyou email, have you ever noticed if it has made any difference... If you had a good interview and there is requirement they themself will welcome and will be overwhelminng to contact you and will lure with the positive points of being part of that team. If you did a remarkable job in an internship anyways you will be remembered by those set of people whom you got a chance to work with.
That friend of mine asked me to take lunch outside and meet new people specially manager or may be full times ( I was interning - FYI) ... afcourse his intentions was sane!!! and for sure it made sense.It seems like "It's not what you know but who you know that makes the difference".
Initially I seemed pretty convinced :) but it was the first day... of a fun and relaxing internship, it doesn't mean i didn't want to work or get a full time job there.Second day I made friends who all were there for the same purpose - FUN!!!! :)
so rather going out to lunch and talking to people who had good means to coming to work and were full times. I chose a house away from the company and in hub of the city daily walked a bit (Atleast some exercise in my outgoing schedule). Stepped on the bus where I can spend most of the time talking on phone,reading stuff or sight seeing rather sitting with someone and knowing more what he do,smile and sound like it was very interesting...
No, I couldn't turn that internship into full time but I am not sure if I chose the other path I would have got something out of it but I made life long friends and awesome memories of that place... where I won't be able to land again, as now I am working for a different company and may be work in the same for most of my professional time.
Afcourse the friends I made are my contacts forever... and I am theirs for sure those lunches, those surfing times, those hangouts, those water dives, those potlucks, those movies have lovely memories.
If I would have really understood what he meant and made myself busy most of the time doing so, I would have not have one friend but just contacts :) ...
Still the people I worked with I am in touch and I guess will always be, if that is networking I am belong to a world which is round.. you never know you end up meeting them again and then we are friends AHH!!! not a contact...
Now here I am next summer, I get invites of icecream social and lot of networking event, beer bash ... So are you joining in!! may be you end up making a friend not just a contact...
