Blind

I was officially declared blind two weeks back.

I now officially belong to that class of people called NERDs

On the bright side people who belong to the opposite sex think that those Silicon glasses actually suit me and have advised me not to go for contacts..I like OLD SCHOOL

Todays Prayer

Dear GOD,

First there was XP and then the Failed Microsoft Vista


i-pod and then the failed i-phone


Gmail and now gmail with so called themes


please dont mess around with Gmail


Gmail application is most precious to me


also can you please pass this to Larry

Thanks

Heroes

We all have our own heroes.

My story is less than perfect, my heroes have changed with time and choice of different heroes depicts my maturity or thats what i believe.

In school I terrorized my parents for endless toys, they ranged from GI-JOe's to He-man. My favorite hero then; was Batman. This may be the reason why I still love my comics.

I was then, like any high school kid introduced to Rocky Balboa. I always wondered how his hard punches and his soft heart co-exist. I tried becoming strong, joined karate for a day quit but never gave up on trying to have soft heart.

Then got into college, it was about time I had a sport hero. There was Lance Armstrong, though not a big fan of cycling I just admired his determination and will to win. It just got embedded in me a thought- that nothing is impossible and never did any loss leave me unsettled. Never learnt to cycle fast, in fact I take 9 min to cycle 3 miles but I learnt to never give up.

Recently, everything changed. Finally, I have not just one hero but heroes. Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar and last but not least Sandeep Uni Krishnan. These names are not famous as any of the names mentioned above, but these people have shown that the very essence of humanity-sacrifice-still exists and is very alive. They laid down their lives today for our tomorrow in the recent Mumbai Blasts. No amount of writing or praise can equal their sacrifice.It also reverberates that every ordinary person who answers his call of duty with utmost honesty automatically makes him a hero. It also reflects how important community service is.

I dont know if these people have, in any ways changed you, but one things for sure these people have made me more patriotic. It gives me another reason and I take pride again to call myself an Indian today. May the force always be with HER.

JaiHind!

Useless Fact # 7

Power of One

In an atomic explosion (atomic bomb) only 1% of mass is converted into energy.

Imagine if we succeed in an anti-matter (where protons are -ve and electrons are +ve..duh!!) explosion, this process is not 1 but 100% efficient.

OK back to practicing ONE on my guitar.

Arise

One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honor and dishonor; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self- The Bhagavad Gita



Pure thought

A fearless mind

A moral heart

He did listen to the wind

Stream of consciousness

Something told him to run and RUN he did

When the soul is free of guilt the head is always held high- a thought

He looked back smiled with his head held up high

He looked ahead smiled and loved every bit of it

LIVE

LOVE your LIFE

Drivel ??..No...lets call it Interlocutory

XY : I did say you are a piece of ART :o :D:)

XX: You are 'CLASSY' :P:O

If you understand the challenges that are encripted in this short description below, you are a true engineer -does not matter if your background is Mechanical, Electrical,Civil (infact if you are an engineer it is assumed that your strongest subject is Math)..if you do not appreciate what follows below then you are just another ordinary boy/girl with a degree in hand!!

At least Wiki the colored words and strengthen your Math.

So here's the passage

The talk is devoted to the investigation of the initial value problem for linearized Euler equations utilizing an idealized one-reaction detonation model in the case of three-dimensional perturbations in a circular pipe. The problem is solved using the Laplace transform in time, Fourier series in the azimuthal angle, and expansion into Bessel's functions of the radial variable. For each radial and azimuthal mode, the inverse Laplace transform can be presented as an expansion of the solution into the normal modes of discrete and continuous spectra. The dispersion relation for the discrete spectrum requires solving the homogeneous ordinary differential equations for the adjoint system and evaluation of an integral through the reaction zone. The solution of the initial-value problem gives a convenient tool for analysis of the flow receptivity to various types of perturbations in the reaction zone and in the quiescent gas.

I had/have a huge crush on this girl.

I think she is extremely hot

Like before the one word I can use to describe her would be- YUM :)

Namesake ;P

So without any necessity we decided to name our Guitars.

After a lot of thought almost 48 hrs+ brainstorming me and my friend Natasha came up with distinct reasonless names for our guitars.

Natsie's guitar is a Korean make and even important is that the guitar is a HE.

She named him Mark (quite a sober name :))

I thought it was a really sober name, the Indian equivalent for Mark would be something like Raju :D:D

OK before she kills me I'll stop making fun of her guitar's name.

And my Acoustic Guitar is an Ibanez and its a SHE.

Her name is EVA.

Isn't it a wonderful name, reviews give it a 5 on 5 star rating.

PS: NO ...NO its not named after EVA Longoria she is hot but NO the name has nothing to do with Longoria :x

Watch this space to see Mark's and Eva's pictures.

but then
.........
As music lovers we all have something in common

---the desire to attend a good/specific concert

for most of us its Woodstock or attend your fav band's concert

but for me I always wanted to see a concert at the Red Rocks- Morrison Colorado.

Its one of the reasons why I rejected good offers in Boston (you must be thinking what an idiot I'm- - I'm one :))

Finally one of my biggest/wildest dreams turned to a reality

Me and a friend of mine saw Jethro Tull @ THE RED ROCKS

It was 4 hrs of insanity...now I know why its one of the worlds best Amphitheater

I have never witnessed/heard acoustics like I did last night- crystal clear soul filling

One more to do things gets stricked of from the to-do list :) its getting shorter/smaller with time

Money well spent..trust me you don't want to miss Red Rocks

----To Red Rocks----Lots more trips to Morrison for sure :)

Before I start I'm going to break rule 4 + 5 :)

8 things I am most passionate about:
1. Music I can't work without music, study without music is a joke. I would have failed all my courses if youtube crashed :)

2 Math If you are weak in Math you are generally weak in everything else- thats what my prof used to say in school. It has always given me strength I can be lost Multivariate Calculus or Non Linear equations forever. I just love it!!

3. Friends I just love all my friends, I think I spend more time with my friends than with my family. I don't know if I can describe myself completely without them being mentioned.

4. Family A dad who inspired me to work hard (can never efficiently work like him), a mom who gave her everything to turn two naughty mischievous kids into successful gentlemen-her lemon mango rice can inspire me to do anything..i mean anything, a bro who taught me to pray..he gives me confidence and I look up to him for help whenever (which is everyday :)) I fall into troubles. Lastly my cute Bhabi, finally one family member who can beat me in my own game (she is extremely smart-should I say text book smart ;))

5. Movies Can watch a movie which has 1/2 a star rating on a ten star scale without any regrets. Can never get enough out of movies. In engineering I made 9 guys miss their internals (college internal exam) to see a movie

6. My crazy Ideas I once showed a friend of mine how the roads have evolved, evolved mathematically. Evolution happens for a mathematical cause, everything in my world is better described in equations.

7. My Research If you are not in research you have missed out a lot in life..trust me!!.

8. Teaching This has not yet happened, but I will someday give back all the things I've learnt and help students who find engineering to be difficult. I will !!!

8 things I wanna do before I die:

1. See a Manchester United match in Old Trafford.

2. Get lost in Ireland of course with a 12 pack Guiness :). Ideally this would be my honeymoon location

3. Teach Math and help at least a poor student get his basic schooling and college.

4. See a center court Wimbledon match.
s
5.Go to red rocks/lollapalooza for a concert

Two of my favorite sport events have come to an end.

The 137th Open Championship -Winner P Harrington IRE

and

the 95th tour de France 2008- Winner Sastre Carlor Team CSC Saxo Bank ESP

I usually don' t miss these events, I get them recorded and later see them or if fortunate I see it Live.

But something was a miss in both the events this time.

The Open Championship had no Tiger Woods, atleast it was good to see a brief comeback from Greg Norman, one of my favorite players recognized more for his character than his prowess.

But the biggest disappointment was the tour de France, it was a bore at least for me;even the Stage 17 Aple-d Huez I did not enjoy, mostly because it had my inspirational hero Lance Armstrong missing .

But then...

In Ma's words, we all soon realize that no matter who is missing the show has to go on.

...To See About A Girl :)

Every time I see GWH I learn more about myself.

The movie has many brilliant parts and scenes, this is one- many of us can relate to

Skylar: Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta' change.

Will: Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! ....

Skylar: Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money?.....

Will: I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? What the fuck am I afraid of?

Skylar: You're afraid of me! You're afraid that I won't love you back! You know what I'm afraid too!!..Fuck it, I wanna give it a shot! At least I'm honest with you.

Caught in DIA

My friend was not allowed to get through airport security in Denver. Why??

She had a 8 Fl OZ sunscreen lotion in her carry on baggage and a perfume she bought in Denver. And also went through additional security screening!!

I just could not resist laughing after she recited the entire story.

Why are humans so stupid?

Is this our best answer to-war on terrorism??

Its amazing what one can do with sunscreens and Perfumes isn't it.

When you are the clever one its amazing how everyone around you seem super stupid.

At least this should mitigate and help you forget what happened with you :)

PS: Btw DMB playing in Denver next weekend, you just missed hahahaha!!

Useless Fact #5

Give me a pen and a calculus book, you will never see me talk. I will be lost.

Today after almost weeks (the thought of course occurred much earlier) of dedicated fight, I got the number I wanted.

If our earth gets compressed to a large extent, to a radius of approximately 0.0083 meters and if all its mass gets accumulated within this radius; then nothing can escape earths gravity, yes not even light.

The proof is due to a singularity that I got-the spacetime curvature is in fact infinity!!

Its interesting because if at all such a thing occurred; then if I understand spacetime correctly, we will fail to differentiate space and time as two distinct entities!!! Just like black holes!!

Thats a Scary thought to visualize :)

Faith

Temple
Silent Walk
A wander, a roam
A piece of solitude much needed
A prayer asking HIM to bless You more...Just like all my previous prayers
A slight drizzle...Drop of tear washed away
Memories smiles...heart filled :)
Hidden feelings -intrinsic-suppressed
Hope and a courage inside that never dies :)

Mother Russia

Why is it fun to work with Russians??

a) They have tons and tons of jokes on their moms and also your mom if you take it in the right spirit.

b) N-After checking twice I approach Valdamir (changed name of course- also if I may add he's a double Phd and tech head for my RF group). I think we can get a better fit and more accurate results if we use this distribution with this as our new CF limits etc etc, V-you are a rookie and you are correcting a man who has served for almost 10 yrs. Bring it here..N- grr (hesitating) well I might be wrong V- You know what this looks impressive let me double check it!! Mutters in Russian ok seems good. Jokes a bit. ok you learn very fast; opens his drawer ..go ahead take a sip of this aged Vodka...N- 10 MIN later well you can appreciate vodka only if you have good fat tire . Yes lets call it a day and have some well deserved early beer. V- sounds like a plan!!

V-Joking on girls, you know my ex wife that !@#** blah blah..whats with you young gun??

N-I always say this Valdamir, this is real man ' Love makes the world go around. booze makes it go around twice as fast'.

V- Your humour is something useful for this company

N-hahaha..I wont complain if I get paid for telling joke a day everyday!!
------
I love mother Russia

What do I care?

What does 'I care' mean??
Does it mean call her, every day?
Does it mean call her, every week?..Call her every fortnight-monthly??
SMS-ing her frequently
Hold her, make her rest on your shoulders??
All this is just pretentious, facetious ...etc
For me caring about someone has a whole different meaning.
Its actually making the person feel that you are there for her no matter what the situation is. Its actually making the person feel secure, make her feel she can conquer her deepest fears, make her strong, confident.

Yes, I'm me and I'm different, I cant be like that ordinary ass!@**

Yes thats my Accent car, I have tons and tons of memories with that car.

Last week, all week I was revisiting all the good and bad memories I had with my car. Dad told me he sold the car after it had some major problem that could not be corrected. I was really low. My car has done everything, trips to Goa, countless trips to Barista, dropped people to airports took me and D2 to college religiously everyday, transported band drum kit time and time again, moved guitars from meetus to duis house and back to my house,has taken so many couples to their dates,drives, concerts,pubs,clubs...just like some people no matter how much you hurt them they never abuse/hurt you back same holds with my car no matter how many accidents it witnessed it never failed and let me down.

I will miss my car!!

:) Smile

Cant wait to watch this flick. Feels heartwarming just looking at the trailer, I love movies that take you on an emotional coaster ride but has a happy ending.

Sample Lyrics of the song that plays in the background.

I never thought that I had any more to give
Pushing me so far here I am without you
Drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
Everything will change, love remains the same

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What matters is-
Is she happy??
With or without you.....after all; all you ever wanted is her to keep smiling...yup.

Rain in Spain

June 22 does it ring a bell??
Its one day you want to cancel in your calendar and blackberry's if you are a Spain football supporter. They have lost three big I mean really big matches on Jun 22 , and to add salt to injury they lost matches on penalty shoot outs. To Belgium in 1986 World Cup, to England in Euro 1996 (of all the teams the last team you want to lose on penalties is England :)) then to hosts S.Korea in World Cup 2002.

So with odds heavily bet against them it was one setup I dint wanna miss, in fact postponed all my shopping and snowboarding with colleagues to next weekend to witness this perfectly set match between Italy (the world champions) and Spain.

When the match started, it seemed that Italy were playing 0-0 draw from the word go, and then hope for the best keeper Buffon to save them . But you have to give credit to the Italians for their man to man marking, flawless they have more than perfected this technique. The Spain on the other hand looked more determined and wanted to wrap the game in 90 min or in extra time.They enjoyed ball possession for over 65%, they looked likely winners.

The June 22 jinx would continue for Spain as they missed very close goals and atleast two penalty decisions going against them. Spain's brave moves and attacks just could not break the seal and the match headed into penalties. And finally Gladiators silenced their critics by winning the match.

Sport is a great teacher, countless lessons can be learnt from a single match. There is nothing like a bad day, I have so many friends complaining to me about a particular number, day, date, time etc that are bad for them due to past events. Forget the past its over, do something you have control on, fight and savor your victory. If you ask me there is no better feeling than winning a battle when the odds are against you. Be dedicated, focused, dream, be honest to yourself,love,live and see for yourself if there is a stopping force. There won't be any.

Fortune favors the brave, time and again!!

You can Succeed and LIVE only when you Conquer your fears

'Dis is Equlibrium

Disequilibrium

I was talking to my friend, she said why does this (incident not purposefully) happen.

Anyone who knows me well will know this "Anything and everything happens for an Engineering reason/cause" so I told her this -she din't quite get me. She said just when everything looks fine, settled, stable and when we assume this state to the norm something interrupts and everything is back to being abnormal. My answer for this was "Change is the only permanent thing", this never had a impact probably because the statement was a cliche.

Now I put my thinking hat on, told her as engineers we should like being unstable. Common dude she said don't confuse this already drained brain. I said no this is true, something useful (I meant work) happens only when there arises a mismatch. For example I told - there can only be a force if there is a mismatch in acceleration. There can be a fluid flow if there is an inequity in pressure (high pressure to low pressure). Similarly for heat flow we need mismatch in temperatures. We hate Equilibrium so much as engineers, in fact, whenever the system is in harmony with its surrounding we say the system is at DEAD state, meaning its not useful anymore. Even in Life, there is excitement only when there is disequilibrium. Being stable is getting monotonous and is boring.

Everything fails- Unix systems fail, your Windows programs hang regularly, relationships break, leaves fall, sun sets etc all this creates nothing but disequilibrium in our lives, this is what makes life uncertain and exciting.

All you have to do is reboot and restart your machine next day. You know something better is about to happen.

So much for asking Wats up? phew!!!

Finally

Re..Visit

Caught in time I had infinite space on my hands!!... I felt I had just separated space and time. I could see time. An additional sense an additional dimension, curvatures, frightening , bold and changing in space -constant in time. But it soon broke at a point, is it discrete? I asked myself but what is continuous anyways if everything can be continually broken into smaller and smaller intervals. How do I analyze this pattern I thought , it then struck me I had time on my hands. Vivid it stays cemented in my head. Conceptually lost!!

C'mon

I hate women who see the hinges attached to a door, and still fail to understand whether to push or pull the door.

Nunc est Bibendum!!

Like ME

When asked about life, heres the perfect answer-

You know life is like a train. It's bearing down on you, and guess what? It's gonna hit you! So you can either start running when it's far off in the distance, or you can pull up a chair, crack open a beer, and just watch it come!

Stalin's ghost appears to Putin in a dream, and Putin asks for his help running the country. Stalin says, "Round up and shoot all the democrats, and then paint the inside of the Kremlin blue." "Why blue?" Putin asks. "Ha!" says Stalin. "I knew you wouldn't ask me about the first part."

In Math I Trust

......(after 1 hr of intense math) we now find that our solution is singular in x. Does this ruin everything that we've done so far?? We've come so far after setting up the problem beautifully and solving, did we screw up??...But Calculus has a mind that is too intelligent to let us down, lets try and find the drag force...(after integration of the singular solution)we find that the singularity that bothered us just seconds back has disappeared. Now your boss!! is happy, an analytical brain wins yet again!!

Useless Fact 3

The river meandering is due to secondary flows, and if I may add its due to fluid distortion caused by vortex stretching.

Proof: Look at a 'new' (relatively new river=50-60 yrs old) and compare it with a very old river (may be like 400 yrs old), you will know what I'm taking.

New River
Old River

Again for the ignorant world: Vortex Stretching= (w.grad(u))

To my Dear Friend

Loss does not necessarily translate to defeat
In every defeat there is a lesson that is learnt
Its left to you, to either choose the dough nut or choose the hole
Give time a fair chance
Give yourself another chance for someone real to fill your space
Behind all this Fate plays its part
A part all too complicated, right now
But when you look back it will remind you that it was always fighting for/with you

Say this to yourself, and I'm sure you will Smile

All thats well Ends well :)


Now that you are feeling better go get a KF strong!!!!

'Useless' Fact 2

To call the fact that follows as useless, would be a crime. Never the less I just happen to have useless in the title for a reason beyond me!!!

Everyone is aware of microwaves, if you unaware of microwaves then its 'the light you see in your microoven'.

It is proved that there exists a faint background of continuous (not sure if its continuous) microwaves througout space. These waves are so weak that it would heat your pizza only to -271C, not enough to even defrost your pizza let alone cooking it.

This evidence of microwaves disproved the very fact that the UNIVERSE (reader free to assume his/her own interpretation of the word Universe) is constant in time.

A Colourless Holi :o:o!!!

Advertisements, a handful of them just play in your mind lifelong. Like the Cadbury ad, or how bout the NECC anda ad or the dood dood ad from national diary India. Some ads just beg to differ, they are a class aside, they deviate from the norm, some of the ads are not meant to win mass appeal or to sell their product they just carry a strong meaningful message. This Holi I would like to share this advertisement, it shook me up. Beautiful!!! what innovation -what a way to drive a message.

Happy Holi spare a thought for the needful!!..they need YOU.

...hence we again divide

Today I suddenly found beauty/ an unexplainable bliss in SOLITUDE. I never got an opportunity to experience solitude 'cos Ive always had Friends friends and more friends. I'm really lucky when it comes to having friends I can proudly say Ive always had some of the best friends one could ask for. But at times especially the day before exams I always landed up in movie theaters alone. Today I wanted time for myself I wanted to make an important decision -decision on my career, because of late I seem to have points all over the ball park!!!-vague-hazy-unclear-so wanted all the time by myself. So with a Bentley's double shot latte I sat analyzing in the uni park. After giving a lot of thought I decided what I wanted. I wanted a job that involved theoretical Physics (tP), or even physics at any level. So I could later -if I decide to- continue my studies either in tP or in some 'math field'.

With a little coffee still left I witnessed a horrible sight. A homeless old person was picking and clearing a dust bin a small girl came near the bin saw him and just took off. The girl was horrified and moreover disgusted she just hid behind a tree till the old man left. All this reminded me of a song I used to listen so religiously once upon a time.

Its no different whether you are in the worlds richest country or in a developing country somethings just don't change. Its a reflection of humanities worst self developed tool-DIVISION.

Two hours of flight journey, and with just USA Today forces you to read either sky mall magazine or the Hemisphere. I decided to quickly run through the products in Sky Mall- not surprisingly I came across some really 'kewl stuff '.

1. POOP freeze

Product Description: Just aim this instant freeze at the waste- liquefied gas chills the surface to -62C instantly hardening it for easy disposal.

Comment: You are still picking up shit..STUPID

2. Dog Dazer

Product Description: Protects you against hostile dogs whenever you might travel.Creates hostile uncomfortable high frequency sounds not audible to humans but audible to dogs.

Comment: Would have been a hit if it worked on your girl friend as well, either ways even if you forget your cell phone remember to carry your Dog Dazer hostile dogs are on the hunt :p..Morons

3.Water Bottle

Product Description: A water bottle that wont let you get dehydrated.

Comment: It has daily consumption goals, you can also set your target, temp display..really kewl and guess what u have a display saying empty when theres no water thats WOW..innovation in the right direction. Designed to last even when you've lost your sense of touch..slap that CEO!!!

Its just amazing how evolution works backwards, specially when it comes to brain development and application of thought.

These are two true stories that were suggested by my friend. It made me smile all day today, and its events/stories like these that make me believe that theres still LIFE on this planet.

Useless fact #1

During my breaks from research/studies/stickcricket my brain evaluates/gathers a lot of useless facts, so I have now decided have a counter for these facts :P

FACT: The Reynolds number for a bacteria say for a typical 2micro one is 10^-6, now u can be rest assured that a bacteria will never glide like a fish. Welcome to the world of very low Reynolds number.

Glory Glory Man Utd!!!

After a disappointing derby loss recently, I never thought my team would put up such a show with arch rivals and present EPL leaders Arsenal in their last match which happened to be the round of a6s in the FA cup. The scoreline 4-0 says it all, with Rooney and Evra returning from suspensions it was looked a better team from the word go. Also with next match being away Champions league match with Lyon it made perfect sense when Alex made Hargreaves, Ronaldo and Gigs sit on the bench. The next match could be with the Blues in the Quarter Finals of the FA cup. And all I can say is BRING IT ON!!!----ONE UNITED

PS: It also gives us the edge now when we face Arsenal later during the end of the season...remember when Man Utd are in the chase to win consecutive EPLs its never over till the last day.

Feb the 23rd, 2008

No the worlds not going to end..no Armageddon...but a very important match is scheduled that day-23-02-08. Its between England and France, the English are in poor form but they have classy and seasoned players on the other hand the French have a very balanced functioning unit. Its going to be a interesting one-a nail biter. I hope its not as close as England's previous match which they won 23-18 with Italy. Dont at any cost miss this game . Its shaping up to be a very good 6-nations Rugby Tournament 2008.

A wonderful game, strong tactful game--Long Live Rugby.

:)Loss:(

note to the world :You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.-GWH

Becky's Walk into nothingNESS

Sometimes when all you want to remember is - the good things about a person....
Sometimes when all you want to remember are the good times...
Times-now- when you know that you might hurt the other person....
The best thing to do is...
Walk away far....so far that when you turn back and wait for eternity you still wont see HER
All you want is HER to be happy and keep smiling ALWAYS

You're a genius Becky. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you

Becky: Oh feels like Sweet November :)

Nikis Bday gift 2008

With my Bday fast approaching I was thinking of gifting myself something that will remind me this Bday all my life. Usually I always gift my close friends something or the other but I never gift myself anything on my Bday. As a matter of fact I have bought just one jeans pant and a I guess a couple of t-shirts since my arrival to the USA. Its time that I cared more about myself :)than others has become my attitude.This egoistic approach in 2008 is scary at times. Anyways after giving it a lot of thought I have decided to gift myself this priceless book- Advanced Mathematical Models for Scientists and Engineers-Asymptotic Methods and Perturbation Theory by Bender and Orszag.
Cant wait to get my hands on it :)

frnd: niki man how u feeling..howz life treating you now?
me:When you think that weve used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
living our lives on the edge
frnd: from this I conclude that you've got back to your old 100%
me: yup thats me...rem time waits for none :)
frnd: love your attitude
me: hee hee...thanks for checking..TC ciao byes

Really ElectriF(L)YING

I always had my eyes on Audi's, the BMWs and of course the MERCs but all that changed when I saw this beauty. To start with -its an engineering marvel. This is what cutting edge technology really is. What I'm about to reveal is a completely 100% electric car!!..so what there are already electric cars that have done really...but my argument is is there a electric car that-
-can reach 0-60 mph in less than 4 secs
-give a 135 mpg equivalent
-drive you for just 2cents a mile..i guess the answer is no.

The TESLA Roadster is really a revelation a real STANDOUT thats wipes out its competition -oops theres no competition :).

FaDe To BlAcK

Life it seems, will fade away
Drifting further every day
Getting lost within myself
Nothing matters no one else....

This was the first song I learnt as a band member of MRP 40 and till today is one of my fav :) and wat a bassie cliff was..PHEW!!!

Walk the talk

Its great to take a walk with your closest old friend. Rekindle all memories, laugh for all the stupid things you did together. And to this add a clear sky with stars everywhere, and gentle breeze- phew one word HEAVEN!!!. Also not to leave behind THE crazy, weird, unexpected confessions she is ready to make followed by big big laughter and then your confession round starts. Me being me a parallel brain was set up and I began to think deeply about WALKING!!
Common the most common physical exercise if (I can put it that way) is walking.
So I questioned myself what in an Engineering sense is walking??

Ans) Well for me its an efficient way of spending energy and getting work done, also its nothing but conservation of energy. Why does your feet/muscle (not sure what the exact name of the muscle that is involved in walking :( ) get tired after a long long walk, its because your muscle is the part that takes into account the vertical and horizontal loses int o account as you walk. The loss in PE is compensated by your muscles. Thats my understanding I might be wrong-do you have a better ans then please reply-adios!

Straight from the Gita

1)Instead of asking GOD why ME for all the troubles
YOU should ask
Why ME for the blessings
Always counts yoour blessings and not your trobles

2)Success should never come at the cost of hurting others.

3)To HURT is not an option :)

Stolen Lyrics

Face to face
We'll wake yet another day

Shock-mathematically a sudden piece of perturbation

There are great mathematicians, and there are great physicists, there was and will always be a conflict between the two. With math you can prove anything and everything but your physics should support it, only then will it make sense to the common man.
One of the worlds greatest physicists had this to say----
"I dot believe in mathematics"
and this was said by none other than Albert Einstein.
But for me mathematics is the most original and greatest creation of human spirit :)

PS: If you know your math you will know the answer to this one--->

1)What is the fourier transform of exp^(x)..simple rt
try this
2)What is the fourier transform of exp^exp(x) :)

Reflectivity :)

In every adverse situation you have an equal or greater opportunity to learn.
