Tata, you have been awesome

November 29th, 2007 No comments

Its a great pleasure to announce that Tata guys have come up with a supercomputer which is ranked 4th fastest in the world, and fastest in Asia.

I am happy for 2 reasons

  1. that India did it again. (remember param2000?)
  2. that the computer uses Linux :)

Tata is the only company that has maintained its reputation for long time now. Even when TCS is criticized sometimes, Tata has maintained its reputation. Those who do not know, Tata’s most of the money goes to charity work. I am using the word “goes” not “will”. I love this group.

For more details check the original post.

A new member in wing

November 25th, 2007 1 comment

So, yesterday night came this new member in our wing. He was sitting in corridor in front of my room. I heard Shankar doing some thing, so opened the door and found Shanky patting this dude. He probably wasn’t feeling good because of cold, and hence came to our wing. Its an awesome experience to have a room in front of lawn. I get to see lots of animals, and sometimes shoot them with my FE210 camera. Well, I will soon buy a DSLR, but till then I am trying with this camera.

So, I brought my camera, started taking photos. This guy didn’t like flash at all. He tried running, I ran after him. And when he found that he can not beat me on this relatively slippery for dogs floor, he stopped. I patted his head so he feels comfortable, and then started photo session. Though, I didn’t mean to take any good shots (lolz), and rather I thought I didn’t take any good shots, my friends asked me upload the photos on Orkut. And I did. And I got some cool responses. One guy even copied the photos, and posted it on his album. [:)] …. and this other guy, who probably never sent me a message, asked me how I got that dog to do all those things? I hope it’s not just because it was my first time. :)

So, anyways, the photo captions goes with the saying of Mahatma Gandhi : ” Bura mat dekho” which means don’t see bad things. “Bura mat suno” don’t listen to bad things and “Bura mat kaho”, don’t speak bad words.

Bura mat dekho

Bura mat dekho

Bura mat suno

Bura mat suno

Bura kahna allowed hai :P (speaking bad things is allowed)

Britishers were intelligent enough to follow Lord Macauley

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose said that English strategy was “Divide and Conqueror”. I think the following image says more than that.
