The True Gentleman

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before

Airbus A380

Airbus A380 has successfully completed her first take off. Here is a picture of that: But, I am more interested about the First Class:

Emirates First Class

Do you know anyone who has had the privilege to fly by Emirates First Class? I will add this luxury to the "100 things I want to do before I die" (rey's words). :) Why? They say a picture speaks a thousand words. Here you go:

Google Serach History

Google has come up with a new tool. Google Serach History. I just used it. I like what I see. But, its a bit inconvinient to go to the search history page and login and add my searches everytime I want to search. Sure, I can always keep the google window open. Maybe that was their main intention. So that users are on the google pages more. Lets see how this Google(R) LabRat (TM) works out.

Now they are looking upward instead of downward.

On Paul Van Riper's first tour in Southeast Asia, when he was out in the bush, serving as an advisor to the South Vietnamese, he would often hear gunfire in the distance. He was then a young lieutenant new to combat, and his first thought was always to get on the radio and ask the troops in the field what was happening. After several weeks of this, however, he realized that the people he was

Anyways, I like both Blogger and Gmail. I love Google. Google rocks. :)

"Imagine, for example, a substance with 100 times the strength of steel, yet only 1/6 the weight; materials that instantly heal themselves when punctured; surfaces that can "feel" the forces pressing on them; wires and electronics as tiny as molecules; structural materials that also generate and store electricity; and liquids that can instantly switch to solid and back again at will. All of these

Take a look at the world's fastest Supercomputer's statistics here. This is not a single computer. Instead, its a "super cluster". But, unlike other clustered computers, this one has "two independent 1 Tbyte disk systems". :) Take a look at the full article: http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/q11998/articles/art_1.htm Oh, almost forgot, the Super Computer takes a space of 1,600 square feet. :)

How numbers can be amaziing: 1. Date of attack: 9/11 - 9 + 1 + 1 = 11 2. Place of attack 1: WTC Building = 11 letters 3. City of attack: New York City = 11 letters 4. Place of attack 2: The Pentagon = 11 letters 5. Who attacked: Afganistan = 11 letters 6. The first plane that hit: Flight number 11 7. Number of people in Flight 11: 92 - 9 + 2 = 11 8. Sept. 11 is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 +

Isnt it funny how life changes before your eyes, what you think you know or whom you seem to know all of a sudden is totally new to you.... I guess you can call it a phase or whatever but sometimes I wish we would be the same and never change but then I guess our lives would be monotonous...But always a question rises up before us and thats a BIG FAT..... WHY?????? WHY THIS? WHY THAT? WHY COULDNT?

Today the personal trainer at my gym calculated the FAT in my body. And, I was shocked to know the statistics. I have 32% FAT in my body. And, that comes upto 26.5 kgs of FAT!!! I am so busted. Gotta workout hard. Its the result of sitting down on my butt for the past 4 years. I remember, I used to run in the morning or do some sort of excercise or even cycle rugularly. All stopped. I dunno why,

Have you ever been flooded with selfless love towards you from your friends and family? Have you? I realised something today. If love comes knocking your door, please don't neglect and throw it away. Its rare to have people's love coming to you uninvited. I am talking about small and simple caring from your friends and families. Sometimes we are so preoccupied with life and work that we hardly

I was just listening to a song which opened my mind. Yes. It did open my mind completely. I don't know how, but my views were getting polluted by some filthy ideology. If I didn't listen to this song then I would be choosing the wrong way in my life and I would be making a BIG mistake in my life. Thank you God (if you exist). I will follow what just came to me all of a sudden and opened my

Lately, I was just wondering that how much does it take to prepare for a perfect "life" that does not suck. As always, I am ambitious. But, sometimes I just get frustrated thinking how others achieve it How they start toward the journey? How do they prepare themselves? Is there a secret recipe for it? I don't know. Anybody knows. If you have successfull "Life", then how did you get

"here's my 10 cents my 2 cents is free A nuisance, who sent, you sent for me?" Yeah, thats like it. From now on "my 2 cents" will evolve into "my 10 cents". 'Cause, "my 2 cents" always goes free now a days.

Stupid me!!! Always fall for the most common traps that people prepare for me. I thought I was wanted, I thought I was welcomed cause they really meant it. But, as usual its not that. "Selfish reason" is always a factor if someone calls you and invites you. Maybe, I am paranoid. But, if you get to realise that people want something from you and thats the reason they are welcoming you then what do

If you have been given two options below, which one would you choose: 1. Nice work environment, mediocre room and lotsa normal technology but less challenges. At one point the job gets a bit boring. Boss hardly understands what you are talking about. But, you can have your own world ruled out by yourself. Have a flexibility in your working style. You are the boss in your department cause there

"You have to take the world as you face it, you cannot have the world as you wish it" - this epigram should be written in BIG letters and pasted on my wall. Even then, maybe, I won't have the sanity in me. (The epigram is by CEO of GE. Not sure, whether its his own or not, but heard it in his interview)

"Superficial Congeniality" - is the notion of having "false kindness" toward a loosing company. This means, if a company is loosing and the owners say "ehhh lets keep it" - thats where "superficial congeniality" comes in. Instead of keeping a loosing company, its better to merge it or to abundone it and use whatever capital to start fresh. These words that I wrote here just came in my head

I don't know whether its good or bad, but sometimes I do let my emotions and imaginations take over my brains. Maybe, because I am almost 99.99% of my time using my brain. Brain is a really complicated area of science. I get amazed by its capabilities, variations and mostly the way it works. Science still could not figure out completely how this small 'body part' of human being work. If

While I was talking to my buddy Saif today, he made me realise something. Something that I would never really want to think about. That, "I am old". I am getting old. I am almost there to say "sayonara". While it seemed to me that he is just trying to ignite a good start for himself, I felt like I have already been there, done those. Back when I was in the university with him, when he was busy

Yeah I agree... Life is like music... Sometimes its sad, sometimes happy, sometimes moody, sometimes indifferent (just a song), sometimes it doesn't make any sense at all (for me "livina la loca" - I have no idea what heck is he singing about).

How amazing it is when just a few notes of music can sooth your mind..I love music... you give me music 24 hrs a day and i am the most happiest person around..I believe that what ever kind of mood you're in theres a music for it.. i guess life is like that too we all follow a pattern of music..dont you think so to ? ;)

Hmmmm.. Just now installed MovableType. Blogger rocks. The only thing is for Blogger I have no control over the editing interface. In MT, I have. I will start with MT slowly. Decided to create a dumping place for whatever interesting I come accross. Lets see where it goes. Will be doing some customization in MT if I see my mood is permitting me. Did I just say "permitting me"? Oh god, does that

Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza and pizza.... :) How many PIZZAs make a happy man?

Quote of the moment from me: He/she who has lost the drive to want more or get more from life, has lost the "life" in him/her. ;)

Quote of the day by ME!! He who is not grateful )

Vanity... is it really alarming or inspiring?

Sometimes I just amaze myself with what I can do with colors.... hehehe... am I blowing my own trumpet.. Maybe. But, I like what I can do with colors. I just desinged a theme for the new Horde/IMP webmail interface. My favourite color is lavender. So, I worked on lavender. There are some limitations on what I can do with the interface. The limitations are actually the reasons whether the Horde

Oh man... Some people are always lucky... Everyday, I learn something new about people... the people around me, they teach me so much. Today, I got to learn that no matter how much we sulk, no matter how much we scream saying "nottttt fairrrrrr", no matter how much we become extremist because life was always unfair to us, there are some people who are living a life of easy-go-lucky man. But, the

I was trying to create a public wishlist for me :), but unfortunately it seems like that the Genie is stopping me to publish my wishes in public. Hehehe... Actually, I just finished configuring the new Horde Frame Work, where I found that the fabulous Horde developers have kindly added a new module called Wishlist (Genie). I was trying to make it public, but was getting some unusual errors. Also,

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks. Sooo true...:)

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat & drink beer all day. <--- hahahahah.... oh man... this guy is gooodd....

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes. <-- definitely a good one. ;)

To err is human.. to blame your computer for your mistake is even more human; in fact it is downright natural. Hahahaha... how true...

These are simply good (given by Sanjay): 1) Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the US Treasury. 2) Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better. 3) Coca-Cola was originally green. 4) It is impossible to lick your elbow. 5) 111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321 6) If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go

Just got to know a shocking fact: "Michael Jordan makes more money from Nike annually than all of the Nike factory workers in Malaysia combined." Damnnnn.. wish my monthly salary was near his daily, maybe hourly income..... I also found out searching that "Nike paying workers in countries such as Malaysia $1.60 a day for making shoes, while selling the newest Air Jordan's for $150 a pair"... so

I am alone.... I am alone... I am alooooooonnnnnneeeeeeee........
