| Your Birthdate: March 08 |
 Watch out Donald Trump! You've got a head for business and money. You'll make it rich some day, even if you haven't figured out how yet. A supreme individualist, you shouldn't get stuck in a corporate job. Instead, make your own way – so that you can be the boss. Your strength: Your undying determination Your weakness: You require an opulent lifestyle Your power color: Plum
Your power symbol: Dollar sign Your power month: August |
What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
| You Are 18% Evil |
 You are good. So good, that you make evil people squirm. Just remember, you may need to turn to the dark side to get what you want! |
Balance in imbalance March 27, 2006

How does the world work? How do various unrelated things work towards the same goal…survival. How do things co-exist and still follow the principle of survival of the fittest…well these are way too vague and are out of scope for this scribbling (haha ok ok just wanted to remind you of the text from the Algorithms text book)…but jokes aside, I came across something that really amazed me and to me kinda made sense…that was to feel at home when at war…its like training yourself on a cardio machine and training your heart for higher rates…so that you wont pass out if you happen to run for your life in the cycle of survival of the fittest….but why would we do that…I mean it got me thinking…if you had a quite, calm stretch in your life would you enjoy it to the fullest or stay level headed and train/plan yourself for the worse…I guess that depends on what kind of person you are….believe it or not you will find about yourself in the most unusual circumstances….now dont laugh…Age of empires…well thats where I found out what I like to do at different situations…I mean you dont actually lose anything and we all know its just a game but still the way you approach it completely depends on your comfort level for risks and uncertainty….I did a brief study if you may call it having a bunch of people play and all they had to do was win and trust me I was 80% correct in outlining their discomfort in uncertainty….I guess its harder done than said to find balance in imbalance but I sure feel that its the way to go in this mysterious yet unforgiving future on planet Earth….

Not sure how many of you have tried using that digital pen that logitech came out with…..well it was not state of the art but it was an innovation..I came across this iPen concept…again its a concept, so dont go around looking for it in stores ;)….and I have no clue why everyone has to put an “i” infront of their products nowadays ! I understand iPod is a big hit and blah blah blah…but why ! anyways looks like a pretty nice design and has some cool features to it and you can read more about it here …Also dont forget to check out their other products…I must say, I am impressed…

I was browsing through the net just like any other day and trying to get some meaningful information from all the ad-filled sites and like a ray of light I discovered that Google made its new announcement…Yes Google Finance is out !! Its amazing how Google can take something and make it real simple and crisp..no nonsense no fuss….just plain information in the most pleasing format..go and check it out at http://finance.google.com/ The best thing(s) about it is that you can search for a category and get all the companies with their symbols for that category….so for a newbie like me (trust me I am one), I dont have to know all the companies if I want to venture into a new industry…Google is there to tell me who are up to the task and give me their details along with the pictures for the main ppl…lol the pics part was a little cheesy but ya it does show you that anyways…except for Steve Jobs though…lol…its amazing how they merged all their tools to play a part in this…for example, Google Maps provides the view of the physical company…Google News gives the latest new about the company and much much more…and all this in one single crisp page…hats off to you Google and thanks again !! by the way try grabing the graph and moving to the sides and watch the news get updated automatically…I know…simple things really excite me…:p

There are times when you are caught off guard…then there are times when you want to be caught off guard…the talk of illusion and reality is still fresh in our minds…damn we had to sit through Matrix for the second round to understand what the hell was going on….that was when we were caught off guard….aah now you realised what I am talking about here !! Expectations are a part of life and how we deal with the reality in the end is the key…well anyways one thing is for sure, if you know what you are doing then you can have a masterpiece with all the cheesy things around you….I first looked at the trailor a while back and thought to myself…why ! why ! WHY !! ’cause it was the cheesiest theme and trailor i had seen….the guy wears a mask and goes around killing people….for some reason the first thing that came to my mind is Daredevil…people who saw that movie, I am real sorry and I am glad you are ok now….I assumed we have seen the best revenge movie one could make in Kill Bill and why out of all people the Matrix guys were doing this…I went into the movie hall screaming V for Vending Machine !!…but those were the last words I spoke for the next couple of hours….I firmly believed during the Matrix days that the success of that trilogy was not because of anyone else other than Mr.Smith and the idea ofcourse…so I am glad we have both in the new one….Its amazing how he leaves an impression w…nah i dont want to play a spoiler to the movie….The idea of the whole movie is idea itself….idea doesnt have an identity….doesnt need or take a form….its just an idea….I would give it five stars if someone asked me but people who happen to read this post….you do not want to miss it….and by the way, its high time someone gave an award for Natalie Portman instead of Reese watever….Enjoy the movie – “V for Vendetta“
