Be it 2001 Jan 26th , when an earthquake rocked India with its epicentre at BHUJ, or be it the 2004 26th DEC Tsunami which devastated the coastal region of India and now, 26th of NOV 2008 has shocked us and the mixed emotions grief, anguish , anger,scare, insecurity, distrust and wat not!
only change this time is tat this is but not natural disaster but a dasterdly act of insane, inhuman nature which wants to spread terror into the minds of the ppl of the world! they have only this as their goal.... and 'm affraid they have succeeded this time.... DAMN!

i'm cricket match! part 2
well, i wholly dearly wanted to be the part of the crowd today at KSCA to see few of my fav sportsmen do their stuff on the field!
we(me and my 2 cousins) tried a lot to get the tickets... but we gt to kno that the tickets which on sale were sold out 3 days prior to the match and the news reports which stated abt LAthi Charge on the fans who went to buy tickets made us not to even attempt for going after them !
we tried thru other sources to get passes... we tried a lot...
and u kno wat... we got the passes!!
we were sooo happy with the tot that we would be der when the fled lights would be turned on and the stadium is lit by the artificial lights... i remembered those scenes from my past experience ind v sa , it was a sight to watch i tell u!
but our (well atleast mine) happiness turned to anguish once we heard that there were only 2 passes available and we were 3!
at first , i felt lil disapointed that all 3 of us couldn make it.. some body had to stay back! :(
i tot v'll put a chit, whose name comes of the 3 , 2 shall go to the match..
but my bros hinted that they'll go at any cost...
and besides that i'd already seen the sight once b4...
i jus tot...
if i were father of 3 sons... how i would have solved this issue --
1st son has already seen it b4.. while othr 2 had been home...
and now we've only 2 passes!
i'd ask the 1st son to wait for the next time and let the other two go and experience the stadium...
then i realized .... i now should do wat that 1st son is supposed to do!
so i said.. fine guys u go ahead and enjoy the occasion... i've seen it once.. its ur chance now... :)
i felt that giving up of contention for the tickets gave me more more satisfaction than d feeling of being in the 50K crowd!
i think i did the right thing... do u agree?

i'm cricket match!
yuvraj singh on a high... dhoni is on the peak of his captaincy... sehwag in form, the entier team performing well... exellent feilding! tendulkar back in2 the team ...
series favoring india 3-0 in 7 match encounter... 4th game tommorrow, india eying for white wash !
series would be ours once it for all if v win tom!
particularly yuvi gt out the next ball whn ugly freddy teased him.. gt to watch his reply this time...
wat a sight it would be! i can imagine the scenario... 50K ppl shouting slogans chanting names, displaying collages n wat not!
more over match is held in BANG!
man i jus got to be der....
i wanna shout out sachin's name when he comes to bat with sehwag! i want to see them perform.... tom being a D/N match it would be more than fun... it would be a thrill...
i've been once a spectator for a D/N encounter of ind against SA..
ind won the match very comfortably .. we batted 2nd and had to score abt 170 runs for victory...
sachin and sehwag batted as the opening pair...
though a slow start , 3 overs 0 runs -- yuvi ended it sweetly with an neat flick towards mid wicket for 4 runs!
i remember that day as it were few hours ago...
i'd gt a vip pass tat time worth Rs 6K! all thanks to my mama :)
tat was an experience !
i want to relive the same thrill , the same passion once again tommorrow...
i want to be der to witness the sportsmen play..
i want to see my indian team win! and win the series aganst ppl who supposedly founded cricket!

Winner
well, the pic says it all, doesnt it?
I often THINK! abt what i'm and wat v r supposed to do etc...
but one thing strikes me is the concept of a man's life!
wat is it? a baby is born... he is introduced to a world.. he gets his education , works earns money settles down in life, gets retired from work, leads retired life, performs his duties towards his family/ society and finaly one day, he dies!! tats abt it rite... {lets not mix this discussion with concept of re birth and all... 'm talking of 1 instance of life.. ie present "life"}
hmm.. pretty vague na? yea i kno... :D i like it dat way ;)
but y 'm i telling u all this ?
i wanted to relate the concept of life to wat it takes to win / succeed...i mean to say, everybody is gonna face ups and down in life...and after all that hungama, finally evry one is gonna die some day... and then he takes nothing materialistic from this world...
so y bother of loss? y do we think tat when we face some problems while working, we should quit...
anyways v all r say good bye to this life some day.. so, i feel v've nothing to loose but every thing to gain...
life is a chance they say, not a choice! true... why leave this chance go to a waste...
why should i stop myself?
why should i stop being me?
why should i stop when going gets tuf?
why should i....????
only thing i ask myself is "MAY I BE ? "
then i get my answer.. and i go on...
i dont care what the result would be.... i wont quit...
i wont give up...
i belive a brave death in the battlefield is far better than a comfortable life as a subordinate to an enemy!
my father tot me....
HOPE FOR THE BEST n PREPARE FOR THE WORST !
my message is that no matter what happens , dont quit, and never say no...and u'll be a WINNER in life by DEFAULT...

Hypercube!
Yep.. a fancy name indeed :)
this seems to be a fairly simple model.. but it is lil more complicated than that!
if u have seen a CUBE... guess all have seen it or know hw it would look like.
this is a step ahead of the cube.. its like a CUBE inside a CUBE..!!
cool huh?
this is the pic of it...
v'd a subject called Graph Theory, tot to us by one of my fav teachers' Satya Maam :)
a day or two before i got the idea of making this model,she had tot us abt this ...
I would have wished to dedicate this to her but in fact i'd gifted it to another very good frnd of mine.. so dedication is not reusable there :D
well let me tell some thing abt theintricate details of the model..
as u can see in d pic, there is a big cube... and ther is a smaller cube inside ..
the side length of inside cube in a hypercube is exactly half of the side length of the outside one!
anyways,continuing...
the sides are connected as shown in d model...
i'd used a very thick sheet/card board to do the outside cube.. that's where i could've done better cos even though i tried my best to close the vertices.. it was not 100% possible
but overall it came out fairly well...
its a lil tricky , i said in the begining cos there u gt 2 figure out the exact angle and exact length of the sides which connect the inner cube's vertices to outer cube's vertices...
its reasonably simple, and v can do it wit help of simple trignomentry! {try it} :)
if u get this done , then its only matter of implimentation... {to be very frank.. this is tuf too .. :-D}
but its worth a try..
as always, i promise u tat i'll always be there to help u out ...
cheers :)

HVD -- Innovation Unparalled!
HVD – HOLOGRAPHIC VERSATILE DISC
What is a Holographic Versatile Disk?
An HVD is an advanced optical disk that’s presently in the development stage. Polaroid scientist J van Heerden was the first to come up with the idea for holographic three-dimensional storage in 1960. An HVD would be a successor to today’s Blu-ray and HD-DVD technologies. It can transfer data at the rate of 1 Gigabit / second. The technology permits over 10 kilobits of data to be written and read in parallel with a single flash. The disk will store in terms of terabytes (TB) of data on a single optical disk.
How do they do it??
Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology which would hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information. It employs a technique known as ‘collinear holography’, whereby two lasers, one red and one green, are collimated in a single beam. The green laser reads data encoded as laser interference fringes from a holographic layer near the top of the disc while the red laser is used as the reference beam and to read servo information from a regular CD-style aluminum layer near the bottom. Servo information is used to monitor the position of the read head over the disc, similar to the head, track, and sector information on a conventional hard disk drive. On a CD or DVD this servo information is interspersed amongst the data.
Working of HVD
Challenges Ahead…..
There is no precise standard for holographic recording media
Lack of interchangeability between holographic recording devices and recording media
Holographic recording media requires flatness of the order of the optical wavelength which makes it hard to mass-produce
The system uses a green laser, with an output power of 1 watt, a high power for a consumer device laser
To develop and commoditize a laser capable of higher power output and suitable for a consumer unit
Production of holographic media requires investment in new equipment
.
What are the components needed to construct an HVD reader?
A blue-green argon laser
beam splitters to spilt the laser beams
mirrors to direct the laser beams
LCD panels (spatial light modulator)
lenses to focus the laser beams
lithium-niobate crystals or photopolymers
charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras

DO-DECA Hedron
yea.. i know..
the name seems to be funny :P
bt there is a nomenclature behind it !
let me explain..
DO -- two
DECA -- ten
so do-deca mean 10+2 = 12 sided figure
HEDRON means a 3 - D model made up of many polygons... k
polygons means a 2-D plane figure like a pentagon..
well this is the thing...
made of 12 pentagons..
bound at a cretain solid angle
this model came abt jus as perfect as i hoped.. i was happy wit the result...
its called DO DECA HEDRON..
if u wanna try out..
'm here to help u out :)

A Life Dedicated...
these words come deeply from my self....
i know hw it feels like dedicating oneself to something... i've been in touch wit many ppl who have done so... and 'm also in process of doing vaguely something similar...
i wonder... wat it takes for such ppl to take such a BIG decision on their side...
its not very often that u find a person seeing all tat is there around him... al the influences,, environment.. positive or negetive... get this feeling...
i said i'm in process of doing something similar....
its really very strange/not - normal .. i guess , from an outsider perspective that one person doesn care to ENJOY his life like its just one! and nothing after that.. but struggle hard , be an something different from the others in general...
they might ask ... why is he doing this...? wat for?? is it called for?? why this?? why him...? what a waste.....
but, from a personnel experiance.. i'd like to share some of the things which might be going in mind of a person whom we are talking abt..
ofcurse.. none are the same...
everybody are unique in there own way...
i remember my teacher in highskool told me casually...
but anyways.. we will by grossly come to a conclusion tat there are certain CATEGORIES of ppl.. this is wit no dsrespect to indivisuality...
well continuing...
i guess there are phases in dedicating oneself for a purpose...
i'll tell first itself tat its jus my opinion on date.. it might change subsequently.. as and when i realise higher truths...
k.. getting back..
i was tellin abt d phases rite...
1> there is something called SAMSKAR in the person...
--- he is brought up in an environment.. it bears a high degree of influence on the person's thinking ability, point of view...
2> he finds something is not right somewhere....
--- he tries to search for wat is not rite...
--- then he searches for wat is d cause for it...
this may take a lot of time...
for if he has to be sure... and it might so happen tat he realises higher truths during course of time....
but he constantly wants update himself abt wat was wrong and wat is the cause of it..
3> now, that he has an idea of wat d cause is... he starts to think!!
-- this is a very deeply intuitive in most cases... (i guess)
-- he is very much concerned abt the prob now...
--- he is constantly thinking of it...
weather he is listning to a song or talking to a frnd or riting his assignment..
there are very few things which have higher priority than it...
he wud be so much in2 it tat he does not CARE abt anything else... i mean to say.. IT MAKES VERY LIL DIFF TO HIM
4> this is the stage where he takes his pledge..
-- he wud dedicate his life to it...
it doen mean tat he won do any other work ...
but his primary interest lies in solving the prob, and make the world bettr thru solving that prob...
few times...
if he has to chose btw frnds family or work..
he wud choose work unless there is real situation!
he doesn care wat others think of him,,, this i guess is a very bold move he takes...
he ceases from or tries to cease from attachment.. his goal is to solve the prob.. he wud do anything for it...
i assure u that there are really very few, who have reached this stage wanting something back from his work...
they don want fame, name any any worldly things... for them tat is not the prority...
and further i would stick my neck out and say 1 more thing...
the ppl who do follow this path, with /without notice are following wat is called "karma yoga"
it says tat u do work... for works sake..
and after ur work is done, surrender it to god and forget abt it.. in d sence, results
and there is one more suggestion.. tat its not the KARTARA-- doer who is important..
but the KARYA-- work is!!
so one has no room for EGO here...
its not he who is noticed by all.. it is the work...
this inherantly makes his ego to dissapear and he has no worries at all,,, he just concentrates on his work...
