Yester Our the so called NG gang ( Card players gang. Rummy is our national game.[:P] ) were coming from the movie HITCH. Well the movie is very nice. While coming there was a topic on Pope.
So I remember a joke told by our English Sir Gopal.( Fortunate enough to attend that one class. I remember I attended only 2 months of classes in my whole intermediate 2 years of course. )
It goes like this....
When Pope visited India our so called Royal Nehru's Family invited him for a dinner. At the dinner all three, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, Ms. Indira Gandhi, Mr. Feroze Gandhi, were there. Nehru took his chance and said, " Pope the Divine have the Wine ." Then after wine Ms. Indira Gandhi said, " Pope the Great have the Plate. " Now it's Feroze Gandhi's turn. As everybody is using rhyming words in confusion he said, " Pope the Bastard have the Custard ".
This blog is for refining my ideas and post the things which I know/read.

Melody.
Today I went to a general stores for buying a soap. I had 1 rupee change. So thought of having a toffee. Melody!!( melody hain chocolatee....)This chocolate remembers me of my old friend R. Prudhvi. When I was in 4 class it was his birthday and Uncle bought a packet of melody chocolates. That me my sister and brother had our dinner there with other friend Chandra Sekhar. I still have those photos.
Now he is far away in US of America doing his postgraduation in some University near to Kentucky.

!!INDIA THE NEXT KNOWLEDGE SUPER POWER!!!
Thats what the New Scientist, 19 February 2005 Special edition says. The topics listed out here are
INDIA
Of these I am ineterested more Mission to moon titled under Going it alone
[from-the-exact-words-of -The New Scientist]
NESTLED amid the eucalyptus, cashew and coconut trees of Sriharikota Island on the eastern coast of India, north of Chennai, is a 76-metre steel tower. If all goes to plan sometime in late 2007 the tower will be engulfed in flames asd India's first mission to the moon blasts off. Sriharikota will also be the launch site for India's most advanced scientific research satellite, Astrosat. The satellite will measure, among other things, X-ray radiation emitted by matter sucked into black holes and given off that birth and collision of stars.
But why is India, a country that still has to so many development problems on the ground, aiming for the heavens? To Indian scientists, the question is not only patronising of their scientific aspirations, it betrays an ignorance of the Idian space programme's greater purpose and successes against the odds.
India's political leaders say the country cannot afford not to have a space programme. Indira Gandhi, who was India's longest-serving prime minister, believed it is not only Important for science, but also vital to India's development.
Take, for example, India's six remote-sensing satellites-the largets such constellation in the world. These monitor the country's land and coastal waters so that scientists can advise rural comunities on the location of aquifiers and where to find watercourses, suggest to fishermen when to set sail for the best catch, and warn coastal communities of imminent storms( see "Eyes in the sky", page 35). India's seven communication satellites, the biggest civilian system in the Aisa-Pacific region, now reach some of the remotest conrners of the countyr, providing television coverage to 90 percent of the population. The system is also being used to extenf remote healthcare services and education to the rural poor,
But it has been a long time coming. When India first detonated a nuclear device in 1974, the US and European nations imposed widespread sanctions to restrict India's access to technologies that could be used to amke a nuclear missile. This hobbled the country's rocket development programme and forced the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to reinvent technologies it could no longer buy. In the long run this has given Inida an advantage over other countries with aspirations to reach space. Its space programme is is laready largely self-sufficient and aims to soon be completely independent of foreign support.
It hasn't all been plain sailing. In first rocket, the Satellite launch Vehicle, ended up crashing in the Bay of Bengal 5 minutes after launch in 1979. The following year it placed a 40-kilogram remote-sensing satellite into near-Earth orbit, but the satellite's perigee was lower than planned and it entered the atmosphere and burnt up after only 130 orbits. The Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle followed, and in 1992, after two crashes, it finally succeeded in lifting 150 kilograms to a height of 435 kilometres.
ISRO moved on to the Polar Synchronous Launch Vehicle, designed to carry 1-tonnne satellites to a height of nearly 1000 kilometres. Though the first launch in September 1993 crashed, the PSLV has since performed flawlessly, placing seven Indian satellites and four from other countries into orbit. "It is our workhorse," says Madhavan Nair, director of ISRO. In 2003 the rocket was used to launch India's latest remote-sensing satellite, IRS-P6, capable of imaging the Earth surface to a resolution of 5 metres.
To put its heavier communication satellites into geostationary orbit, India still has to rely on foreign hardware. But that may soon change. ISRO's latest rocket , the Geosynschronous Launch Vehicle( GSLV ) is able to lift large satellites into geostationary orbit, 36,000 kilometres up. On 20 September2004, the GSLV launched the 2-tonne EDUSAT, the world's first satellite dedicated to providing support for educational projects.
One of the GSLV's boosters is a Russian-made cryogenic engine. International sanctions meant India only to buy the engioes, not the know-how to design and build them. So for future rockets ISRO engineers developing their own. Ground tests have been completed and the plan is to launch a completely home-made GSLV-Mark 2 by the end of this year, Nair says.
ISRO is already planning the next generation GSLV, the Mark 3, which will be powerful enough to launch India's biggest satellites. Nair now has his sights on the commercial market. A launch on GSLV-Mark 3should cost half the rate charged by France, The US and Russia, he says.
India's space programme is already a money -earner. ISRO sells infrared images from its remote-sensing satellites to other countries, including the US, where they are used for mapping. ANd the technology Experiment Satellite, launched on October 2001, is alreading beaming back images of the Earth's surface with a resolution of 1 metre, thought the are not yet available commercially.
Three per cent of ISRO's $3.3 billion 5-year budget is devoted ot the planned moon mission. A reconfigured PSLV rocket will lift Chnadrayan-"moon vehicle"in Hindi-to 36,000 kilometres, afer which the craft's own engines will take it to the mooon. Nair says one of the purposes of the mission is to inspire Indian youngsters to take up a career in science.
Chandrayan will create 3D maps of the moon's surface at a resolution of between 5 and 10 metres, something that has never been done before. It will also map the distribution of ilmeniote, a mineral that traps helium-3, a possible source of energy for future bases on the moon. No manned missions are planned, but if the trip is successful, robots might be sent up to collect samples.
According to Nair, the Madras School of Economics in Chennai has estimated that ISRO's projects have added between two and three times the organisation's budget to the national GDP. Several countries in Africa and Asia are seeking ISRO's help to emulate the model. "India is perhaps the only country where societal needs are met by the space programme in a cost-effective and the services are reacching the needy," says Nair.

Sesh inspiration!
I wanted to scribble something.Some ideas. Whatever it is. First of all I changed the template. So just changed it from some thing plain to funky colors and after some little effort I could manage to add my best look photos.
Now a days the term Open Source is used everywhere. The FreeSoftware People fight that ours is entirely different from Open Source. Freedom to distribute, change the existing but carrying the FSF or the GNU license( most popular. ). GNU is recursive acronym for GNU's Not Unix. But Richard Stallman ( when I attended his speech ) is much bothered about the name GNU operating system or GNU/Linux which is very very famous as Linux. I am least bothered about the name. For that sake let us call it GNU/KDE/linux.( KDE is a seperate organisation/group which develops KDesktop Enviroment. It looks as if Winows is alost hacked with advanced features. )
Let me tell you one thing. I am a big supporter of FSF/OSF whatever it is. I have been using GIMP( GNU's Image Manuplation Program. It can beat Adobe's Photoshop. But absolutely free or at a little cost for the support. ) and Mplayer. These two programs are enough to show how powerful is FSF/OSF project. Then comes the award winning browser Mozilla's Firefox. I never check my mail without this browser. GNU/KDE/Linux( Thats what the Enlightenment fellows call ) is the one operating I am using of Suse flavor. Added to this my mobile or smart phone Motorola 768i runs on GNU/KDE/Linux written for such devices. One of the reasons for buying
this smart phone is "GNU/KDE/Linux".
The conclusion for today is that I am an free software/open source guy soon going to kick that Id*** F**** MS's Win XP.
Thanks to Richard Stallman and Mahesh.( Soon Mahesh is going to be more famous than Richard Stallman.)
Ohh...did I forget to mention Google. Wow! This is the biggest corporation of FSF/OSF I suppose. Running more than 1000 GNU/KDE/Linux servers. Maaaan...the search is so fast that its as if I am searching in a Flash disk less than 1 Mb. ( Of course the comparison is very bad. But it works ) There is always one tab with Google site opened searching some or the other thing. Tab means again goes to the Mozilla's Firefox which they call it as Tabbed Browsing!
What I think about this site/quote about this site is "You should know yourslef! for everything else there is GOOGLE!
Happy Googling!
