Bill Gates Session

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new Chairman for Microsoft Europe. 5000 candidates assembled in a large room. One candidate is Arun Mhatre an Indian (Mumbai) guy.

Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming and asking those who do not know JAVA program to leave.2000 people leave the room. Arun says to himself, 'I do not know JAVA but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try'

Bill Gates asked the candidates who never had experience of managing more than 100 people to leave. 2000 people leave the room. Arun says to himself ' I never managed anybody by myself but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?' So he stays.

Then Bill Gates asked candidates who do not have management diplomas to leave. 500 people leave the room. Arun says to himself, 'I left school at 15 but what have I got to lose?' So he stays in the room.

Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak Serbo - Croat to leave. 498 people leave the room. Arun says to himself, ' I do not speak one word of Serbo - Croat but what do I have to lose?' So he stays and finds himself with one other candidate. Everyone else has gone.

Bill Gates joined them and said 'Apparently you are the only two candidates who speak Serbo - Croat, so I'd now like to hear you have a conversation together in that language.' Calmly, Arun turns to the other candidate and says 'Kaisa hai re tu' The other candidate answers 'Accha hai re'

Check it out in UNIX-1752 calender

Have u ever seen the calendar for September 1752??? If you are working in UNIX, try this out. At $ prompt, type: cal 9 1752 Surprised????

See the explanation for what you
see.Isn't the output queer?

A month with whole of eleven days missing. This was
the ti me England shifted from Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian calendar,
and the king of England ordered those 11 days to be wiped off the face of the
month of September of 1752. (What couldn't a King do in those days?!) And yes,
the workers worked for 11 days less, but got paid for the entire 30 days. And
that's how "Paid Leave" was born.

Technology!! - Apple iphone

The iPhone is a multimedia and Internet-enabled quad-band GSM EDGE-supported mobile phone.

Wondering what quad-band, GSM EDGE are...as i did. Research by swapna(myself) reveals that:) Quad-band is 4 frequency bands. Having more than one frequency in one device is useful to enable roaming between different countries that peg the allowed transmission frequency at different values or to allow a better coverage in the same country. GSM is global system for moblie communications, this too is for voice quality and international roaming. EDGE is for internet service. Its for increase in data transmission rate and to improve data transmission reliability.

Like other high end moblie phones it has a camera, works like a ipod, has internet services too. Additionally its a visual voice email, User input is accomplished via a multi-touchscreen with virtual keyboard and buttons.

Now guess what the price is? Its around 35k.

Justice delayed- Justice denied

I sometime wonders why is a there a LAW? To punish the criminal or to reform them. If its to punish them then why aren't they beaten up and torched when they are caught.

If it is to keep them away from others(so that they don't continue to harm others) and reform them and bring them back to society, then shouldn't the judgment be faster(immd).

For example take sanjay dutts case. He had done a mistake 14yrs back and his case is given final judgement recently. For what? To reform him? How does anybody now that he hasn't reformed in last 14yrs? Why is he allowed to stay in the society if he has done a crime? Couldn't he have done more crimes and couldn't he been a danger to the society?

Manytimes people don't even go to court for the fear of getting stuck for years. I don't know why it should take years...but i definetly believe that there should be a way to solve cases faster.
Image howmuch things can change with faster solving of cases.

Quotes

I believe in angles,
The kind that heaven sends.
I am surrounded by angles,
But i call them friends.


Its easy to be a clown
U just have to talk b4 u think

Chak de India - MOVIE

After a long time i've seen a nice movie last nite- Chak De India. The story is about our less previlage National game- Hokey.

Chak De India’ is the story of a coach's fight to make his team, Team India, the best in the world. It is a film about self-belief, perseverance, determination and the human spirit to fight and win.

A story to remind Nation of its National Sport.
Other than the story, what i liked about the movie is the way dialougues are written and the way the story is directed. Its a Movie Well filmed:)
There are no unneccessary songs, item numbers, flights.
These kind of movies are less flimed in our country.
The actresses (16) have all done a good job. I need not speak of KING Khan. He is a great actor.
I just loved the movie.
Its a must watch.

Politics

The 'Lead India' ad in India Times newspaper last week revoked my understanding about politics. Thanks to Media. They are finally doing the needful for the country. Better politicians.

I have heard of word 'Politicis' only with so much negativity attached to it.
eg: So many politics between them.
Don't play politics.
He is a politician yar..... etc etc
Let me give all the credit to our politicians.

I think its more about attitude change most of us need for a better India. Our acceptance levels for illegal/wrong things are high and Information level about our rights are low.
Now how many of us know that if the MCH doesn't clear the garbage even after complaint..we can sue them.
On the other hand how many of us have drove without lience.

So...Today after 60yrs of Independence, let us all pledge that we will be more disciplined and honest and give our best to the country(which ever way we can).
Be more careful and lets use our Vote wisely too.
