: Nothing but from 'Blogs' :

Jus' happened to read Rajesh Jain's Weblog of 'Has Innovation shifted Silicon Valley to the "Indus" Valley?', in that he quoted the Words of 'Dan Bricklin' :

"In big business, when you need to cross a river, you simply design a bridge, build it, and march right across. But in a small venture, you must climb the rocks. You don't know where each step will take you, but you do know the general direction you are moving in. If you make a mistake, you get wet. If your calculations are wrong, you have to inch your way back to safety and find a different route. And, as you jump from rock to slippery rock, you have to like the feeling."

Last week, after long time roaming & driving in night, Yah ! nice ride in Chennai ECR to MAYAJAAL in night to watch movie (!!) with 'Dev', and returned in silent mid-night, enjoyed the silence & nature, relaxed, almost, didn't sleep that night .. All reminded, when I saw TMK's fotopages, in that he posted snaps of the 'Ganesh Chathurthi' celebration with his friends in Belgium, Ohh my God, but, I didn't do anything spl. on that day like that, Jus' as usual.

From then on, almost nothing more than office and home. 'Loneliness or Being Alone' (???). Don't know?. As the seasons change so do relationships. Alone Again Naturally ... nothing more .. Being alone is scary for so many people. But, to me, Anhh, no !! (Believe me !!)

Scientists report that dogs can smell disease in the urine of bladder cancer patients.

: Life is 10% of what happens to you, and 90% of how you respond to it :

: Latest songs by Kay Kay :

Now-a-dayz, whichever song singer 'Kay Kay' sings, becomes a HIT. I love those songs !!.

His earlier hits includes, 'Uyirin Uyire' of Kaakka Kaakka, which starts off with Suchitra's humming, as the humming fades, KK takes off with his enchanting voice, then hotest HIT for longtime now 'Appadi Podu' of 'Gilli' and 'Oru Punnagai Poove' of '12B' and more .. He is singing GREAT now (as like Unnikrishnan, Harish Raghavendra, ..)

Jus' Listening Kay Kay's latest songs [more than once !!] from 'Chellamay, 7G Rainbow Colony & ManMadhan'. Undoubtedly these are the pick of those films.

[#]. Chellamay :: 'Kaadhalikkum Aasai Illai' from Harris Jeyaraj sung by Kay kay, Mahathi, Timmy, Chinmayi. The song is best pick of the album, the song is thoroughly enjoyable. On initial hearing itself one can love & enjoy it by its peppy tune, good lyrics and rhythm and haunting 'kaadhali kaadhali', 'sonaali' chanting.

[#]. 7G Rainbow Colony :: 'Ninaithu ninaithu' from Yuvan Shankar sung by Kay Kay. A beautiful melody, definitely going to steal many hearts, thatz sure. The song is sure to bring the feelings not only people who are/were in love, but also to others too !!. Jus' Chumma !

[#]. ManMadhan :: 'Kadhal Valarthein' from Yuvan Shankar, again sung by Kay Kay. It has got commendable lyrics by Naa.muthukumar. Kay Kay's voice is nice to hear and so malleable to whatever pitch he takes the song. 'Yei Pulla .. Yei Pulla' chanting is excellent & heart stunning to hear, really sung well.

Enzoy listening & dreaming ..!!

Jus' roam about Dreaming, interesting one .. Isn't it ??

'Lucid dreaming' means that while you are dreaming, you are conscious of the fact that you are dreaming, rather than taking everything what happens to you for granted. The term was coined by Frederik van Eeden who used the word "lucid" in the sense of mental clarity. Lucidity usually begins in the midst of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality, but is a dream.

'A Study of Dreams' - By Frederik van Eeden. Based on his sixteen years personal experience and observation, Eeden distinguished nine different kinds of dreams, each of which presents a well-defined type.

Read 'Dream Types' @ 'A Study of Dreams'.

Eeden believes that 'dreams are not purely arbitrary, and that there must be some kind of scientific order behind them'. "To deny may be just as dangerous and misleading as to accept", he says.

"Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work." - Bette Davis (1908 - 1989)

: Learning From Failure :

HBS Working Knowledge has an excerpt from "Juice: The Creative Fuel that Drives World-ClassInventors" by Evan Schwartz :

"... Failure is the rule rather than the exception, and every failure contains information. One of the most misleading lessons imparted by those who have reached their goal is that the ones who win are the ones who persevere. Not always. If you keep trying without learning why you failed, you'll probably fail again and again. Perseverance must be accompanied by the embrace of failure. Failure is what moves you forward. Listen to failure.

But there are different kinds of failure. Sometimes, failure tells you to give up and do something else entirely. Other times, it tells you to try a different approach, a new route to the top of the mountain. Or it may tell you to make a detour. Sometimes, it tells you that you need help. Sometimes, it doesn't seem to tell you anything... "

The HBSWK excerpt discusses Steve Wozniak and what he learnt.

Wow ! HITs to my 'Dreamz' crossed '200' mark (excluding my own HITs) with 50+ postings ! Isn't Great ?? NO, 'stats' analysis showed me the other side.

Again .. another one 'A Love Story' by Syed Rafay Ahmed in Zine5's intereactive zone .. nice one, jus' a part from that ..

".. The pain presented by even the thought of losing her was so unbearable that he knew he never wanted to experience its actuality. At these times, he would always vow to himself that he would never lose her, whatever the cost.."

Like the woman in the story, this tale has no end. It becomes what we make of it - fairy tale, tragedy - this tale is as infinite as time. Only those who are part of the story are allowed to decide what transpires; the rest of us have stories of our own to create.

: Nothing 'but' Net Roam :

Jus' happened to read the following article [via :'Joel'] ..

'Incrementalists' are realists. They have a pretty good idea of what is achievable given a problem to solve, a product to ship. They're intimately aware of how many resources are available, where the political landscape is at any given moment, and they know who knows what. They tend to know all the secrets and they like to be recognized for that fact.

'Completionists' are dreamers. They have a very good idea of how to solve a given problem and that answer is SOLVE IT RIGHT. Their mantra is, "If you're going to spend the time to solve a problem, solve it in a manner that you aren't going to be solving it AGAIN in three months."

Email is never ever ever never ever the right way to resolve controversy. Don't waste your time solving problems in email... stand up... walk down the hall... and look the person in the eye. You'll live longer.

DVD/Digital Video Recorder :

It's just a single device, Panasonic's new DVD recorder/digital video recorder with a 400 GB hard drive should give people a small taste of where things are headed. The amount of storage available is reaching the point that it's almost not worth thinking about. This device, for example, can record 709 hours of video (nearly 30 straight days of continuous video).

It also has broad connectivity, letting people program it via the internet and mobile phones and letting people access content stored on it the same way. While bandwidth is still an issue, it becomes less and less of an issue over time, and suddenly we get closer to a world where you can access all your content, anywhere at any time.

How your eyes read news By Cory Doctorow

Researchers with the Eyetrack III project used software-controlled cameras to follow the eyes of readers who were perusing news websites, in order to determine the topology of attention.

Do You Click Randomly On Websites ?

In a new study about web-use behavior, one of the more interesting findings was that people tend to click a lot on websites -- and they're not talking about links. People just click within a website. While the snippet linked here doesn't suggest a reason why, I definitely do this, so I can at least explain my thought process.

Read in detail here.

Somewhere read .. Jus' b'coz my dear friend mailed about me jus' that "appo dipo bhava.. !"

...

People want belief, and Buddha said... his last message to the world was "appo dipo bhava; be a light unto yourself". He had said this because his disciples were crying. Ten thousand sannyasins surrounding him... of course they were sad, and tears were falling; their master was leaving. And Buddha said to them, "Don't cry. Why are you crying?"

One of the disciples, Ananda, said, "Because you are leaving us, because you were our only hope, because we had hoped and hoped long that it isthrough you we will attain to truth."

It was to answer Ananda that Buddha said, "Don't be worried about that. I cannot give you truth; nobody else can give it to you, it is nottransferable. But you can attain it on your own. Be a light unto yourself".

VoIP Has the Whole Industry Talking

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is projected to account for over 12% of all telephony revenues by 2009, according to Juniper Research.

The total market value for services using VoIP is forecast to grow almost ten fold over the next five years. In other words, VoIP will be at the center of convergence.

Although much attention has been paid to the more complex and "sexy" value-added services like video-on-demand (VOD) and online games, the biggest opportunity will be in voice services as broadband IP-voice takes over from traditional circuit-switched voice; driven by lower operating costs and competition between incumbents and new licensed operators.

Coming back to action .. after slight break .. thought of writting on 16th .. then 17 !!.. then 18 .. @last 19th today .. seems to be busy with happy things in day-to-day life ..

This week somewhat going well .. loong nites after few months .. Good food and nice memories on 14th in sister's home .. call from 'Akka' from CBE and will meet her this weekend along with Bhava and Aadhi..

then, on 15th 'Independence Day', wishes to all in SMS .. went to 'Vasool Raja MBBS' tamil movie, even though I don't like Kamal much .. I saw this movie, might be b'coz of smiling 'Sneha' that too in nice eye catchy saarees, reminded all, really superb, not the movie but 'Sneha' .. 'What if' she's really an 'Doctor' now ..?? ('What if' like the same way of this week's 'outlookindia'?) Can you get my point/dream ??

Heard that, some of the corporates (even in INDIA!) having a policy that when a national holiday falls on a weekend, then the next working day is declared a holiday. Is it Cool ? !!

Y'day went to Taj Coromandel, Chennai and attended a 'road show cum seminar' by AVAYA (along with extreme networks & tata telecom) .. about 'Converged Communications' .. and then lunch .. 'Communications' long way .. now-a-dayz lot of improvements ..

If e-mail dies - then what neXt ?

The recent speculation on the dismissal of e-mail as an effective formof communication caused me some alarm, and to ask the question "Whatis the alternative?" and "What could work better than e-mail?".

@last few 'Quotes' ::

The quickest way to receive love is to give;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and
The best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

Yesterday is History,
Tomorrow is a Mystery and
Today is a gift: That's why we call it The Present...

Stopping here .. now ..

Steve Jobs' E-mail : After Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, underwent a successful operation to cure pancreatic cancer, he sent this email to all his employees. I liked the way he discounted the operation and made sure that people don't panic when they hear the word "Cancer". Here is some lines from his mail ..,

" .. I had a very rare form of pancreatic cancer called an islet cell neuroendocrine tumor, which represents about 1 percent of the total cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed each year, and can be cured by surgical removal if diagnosed in time (mine was). I will not require any chemotherapy or radiation treatments. ..."

He expressed in a really good way .. yes, any disease can be cured mostly if diagnosed in in time ..

As of now, geeks wanting to create a personal area network (PAN) haveto link their personal electronic devices — mobile phones, pagers andso on — using infra-red or radio signals.
