Masoom sa bachpan


Wanted to write from so many days..  Finally got the time.. Today I am really very shocked with one thing.. today I have seen my 2 years niece using android phone..she just opened the the touch screen lock , find out the  application she wanted to play and then start playing that.. and showing me..she even knew how to close if anything else opened up.. and I couldn't control my self thinking that what I knew when I was that much old.. I mean my niece can't even speak words.. she even use to say "mobile" as "ooile".. and i was thinking whats this yaar.. I don't know at what age i had started using electronics items..May be there are lots of things about what I don't know how to use it.. ha ha ha ha.. I mean ho kya gaya he aaj kal ki generation ko..

I am not able to decide k its good or not.. because I think I had all the real fun in my childhood.. I feel like I have lived my childhood fully.. for real.. with the live things.. all the fun.. group of kids.. that dhamal masti.. from this home to that home.. from this place to that place.. jab tak ase na thake k ghar pe aake bas nind k ilava kuch nahi sujta tab tak khela karte....i dont  remember that i have ever spent my time as kid alone.. or with electronics items.. what a wonderful time that was.. and today i mean.. whats wrong with kids..

once a 7 year old kid came to me and gave me his mail id and told me please didi add me.. we will chat.. :O he bhagvan! ki ho gaya he in bachho ko.. how to make them understand that there is a lots of fun in playing in open grounds.. outdoor games.. todays kids are just happy with their phone, laptop, internet, tab,note or pata nahi kya kya..

yeah its good to have knowledge of electronics items.. to move on with what is latest.. technology is always good.. you always have benefits of it.. today social media has make this world so small... we can talk to any one.. can see them.. its too good.. but a coin has always two sides and i dont think that kids can understand that.. i mean bachhe hames apni age pe hi achhe lagte he.. vo masum se.. hamesa khelne kudne masti karne vale.. i feel like in today's world vo bachpan kahin kho gaya he...

 competition  has increased at that level that parents expecting a lot from their kids.. they feel proud when their kids have knowledge of all these things.. they get good marks .. but they never check pressure level through what their kids are going..

kids are always like free birds.. colors in life.. no tension in life.. live life fully.. May be this generation never had that fun what we had in our childhood.. but may be everything changes with time.. may be mene apne childhood me jo fun kiya uss se kai jyada masti k sath mere parents jiye honge.. just wish that kids have all their fun in life..they live their childhood with very happy happy time.. which always give them a smile on their face..

Destiny and Life



Luck and destiny these are the words in what I have never believed. Luck I still don’t believe in that word. But destiny It is all what I believe in.. I have gone through worst period in life.. and the same way I have also seen the best time in the life. When there was a time I was not enough Mature to understands the things. At that time whenever anything happened bad I just use to think that life is over now. Nothing good can happen in life.. Everything just finished. It’s all the pain what I am going to have with me my entire life. Nothing was good in life. I have lost all the hopes. Did such foolish things in life for people for whom I care.. But this world doesn’t let you live the life you want.  It’s really the world full of selfish people. Who use other people to achieve their motives.  Use people for their own good and need.Finally I am like.. Strong enough.. I cannot do anything wrong with people and at the same time time I do not allow people to do anything wrong with me. So let me come to my point.

Destiny.. once there was a time I thought that everything just got finished. And now is the time when I think if those things would have never happened in life I would have not get these happiness in my life. Was a bright student in school life, But when the question comes, when my career was depended on result. I have got very bad result. Had waited one year.. and after that I just switched to the line form science to computers.  Got very bad experiences in life but things makes me strong , practical. All the things makes me mature. Enough capable to understand things and to handle them.

And when the thing comes to the important question of life. Life partner. I have got the best loving person in life who takes care in all the manner. Love me. Give all the happiness in life. Yes my family was always there to support.. But still I have best person in life. When I look back in life. What was it. Why I had gone through all the things.. Just to meet this person? And I really have no answer for this. But I still believe It’s a destiny.  

Everything happens for a reason. If I wouldn’t have gone the worst result and waited for one year. And if I would have taken admission in any engineering may be I would have never met this person in life. People use to say “Jodiyaan to uparvala banata he” .. I still wonder if its true. Magic world and its magic tricks..

So I think God has decided everyone’s destiny. We always have to go through what is in our destiny. Today I am happy that I have all that pain. So I have the perfect life now. May be not perfect in all the manner. But it’s still have its own motive. Now bad things doesn’t make me depress or upset. Because har andheri rat k bad  nayi kiran ak ummid le ke aati he..Yup still have question that career not settled.. Still not able to fulfill the responsibility. But how ever I try will not get more or less than my destiny have for me. So hope for the best.. Enjoy every moment of life. Do not get upset when times not good. Everything has its own reason. And someday sometime you will realize that if that thing wouldn't have happened with you .. You could have never get this thing in life.

Even All people who comes to our life they all have their roles defined. No matter the person is good or bad. Bad things always gives us the experience to handle the things . And good things also. Everything gives us experience. People come and go from the life. When I think about my life’s people .. It’s like if bad people had never came to my life I would have never experienced things this way. And id  I wouldn't have then it’s like I couldn't welcome good things or never understand its real value.

People use to say na that if u haven’t gone through worst you will never understand the true value of good things.  If you have not felt the pain you will not understand the meaning of happiness. we  respect things because we know the meaning of it's absence. We respect good things because we know the difference between good and bad. 

We always use to think that we do not have things like this and this. And get upset for that. But my dad always use to say if you want to know what you have do  not compare yourself with the one who has all the things and comfort of this world but compare yourself with the one who has nothing in life but still live life fully. And you will thank God for what you have. So never regret for anything. And when you want to achieve something in life at that time compare yourself with the one who have it. So you can work hard can achieve that thing in life. Its all what we need to do in life.. No regrets for the things we do not have. Still live life fully and achieve the good things in life..  Good or bad all what is defined in our destiny. So always keep smiling :)

A Woman with Responsibility and people's Expectation


From Childhood I always have one question.. Does my mother have any super natural power? How a single person can do these much things at a time this much easily..  Job, Children, Husband, In-laws, daughter, sister.. I have never thought about my mom before asking anything. And I don’t remember a single time when my mother said no to me for anything. No matter what I have asked to her and at what time. If any of  the family member had ever asked for anything at any time my mother has always done that thing.

Today at this level after these many years I can imagine and understand a girl’s responsibility for everything. A girl becomes mature and people around her start expecting a lot from her. To fulfill those responsibility and expectation is not at all easy.  Dad always expects that my girl take care of everything. Settle at Good place. Good job. Good Husband. Good In-laws. And she fulfills their expectation. Mom always knows that how much my daughter can handles things. As she had also faced that stage in her life so she always treats like that so that it doesn’t becomes tough when time comes to take responsibility. But with the time people around us change. New people come and expectation and responsibility change according to time.

A girl always try to fit in the roles as Dad’s Angle, A daughter for mother who always understand the things, A sister who always use to do his brother’s all work and support him in all the things, A sister who always listen up her sister’s every stupid things as best friend, for grandpa and grandma a grand daughter who take care of them as their mother(because in old age people becomes like child), a boy who loves her for him a complete girl, For husband a wife who is Good cook, who has Good dressing sense, Good humor,  a mature wife who takes care of everything and everyone’s. For children’s world’s best mother, for in-laws a daughter who take care of them at first place, for friends who help them at any time and give the best advice ever. Listen up their nonsense and handle them with all their nautanki. And don’t know how many relations, responsibility and expectation which I am not able to describe at all.

Yaa but all these things are for a girl who likes to take care of everything. Otherwise there are number of a person who doesn’t give a damn. I just wish that I can fit in all these roles. I can become as my mother. I fulfill everyone’s expectation.  I just wish that I can become like my mother.

 Today I want to Hats off to my mother and all the girls who always try to fits in these roles no matter at what cost and what sacrifices.  It’s nearly impossible to understand a girl, her circumstances, situation.. To handle each and everything and to manage accordingly is really very hard. But it’s really true that when a girl becomes mature she stops living her life for her own. She starts living for others. And somewhere lost her owns self and wishes in these things. And I don't even know that how much respect they get for all these. and how many people appreciate it.

Accepting and Expecting


These two words can make life so easy and so difficult.. We always get hurt by expecting a lot from people.. yaa it’s easy to write.. But its truth.. The day when we start accepting the things as they are and move on with life everything will be good.

We expect things from the one whom we believe as our own. But everyone cannot fulfill all the expectation. When u expect someone to do something for u at the same time u should also think about it that how much u fulfill others expectation.

It is easy to expect but not easy to fulfill someone’s expectation. When someone cannot just fulfill the expectation just accept the thing and move on .. Take the things in positive way. You are the creator of you own life. Anything good or worst happens, mostly you are responsible for that. If not then it’s the part of destiny..  Expect less and Accept more.. If do not want to get hurt don’t expect anything from anyone. Because expecting means you are depending on some one. Why to depend on someone? The more you depend the more you expect. The more you expect there are number of chance getting disappointment. Disappointment always hurts..

It is very obvious for a human to expect. But when start getting hurt by that expectation not fulfilling simply just stop there. So relation will not be spoiled.

Accepting is very simple word but very hard to accept. Each and everything has two sides. The day we start accepting rather than expecting life will be so happy.

Golden period of Life : Childhood



Golden period of life is Childhood.. and everyone loves childhood time most....  No worries of life.. No tension of career..  No need to be responsible.. No need to behave in manner all the time..  No need to be so understanding.. Everyone just take care of you..  Ask for what you want.. ;) 

On Sunday I use to wake up early in the morning just because I don’t like to miss my serials Shaktiman, Chandrakanta, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Ali baba challis chor and the other one alif laila.. He he  he he..  After coming from school in noon time the cartoon captain planet, scooby doo, tom and jerry and then ballu and a lot more..

All the time masti with friends..  Tease people and friends.. Do something naughty and when someone get it … then hide and seek play.. I used to be happy like anything when mummy or papa bought me new compass box or water bottle or lunch box..  Love to drawing.. And those colors.. Really life is full with all colors in childhood..  

That thing has different happiness when play in open playground..  And get dirty in that.. Then mummy screams at you.. “ mitti me nah k aate ho”.. J  When our friends got good marks we used to get happy with them..  there was no jealousy  or competition..  never properly ate food in life.. all the time something with us to eat..  chalte jao khate jao..  

Celebration of Holi means the fun..  :D pichkari full of water.. And all that.. Love it.. When first time I had used pen instead of pencil.. and had written without  mistakes(no need to use  eraser) I had shown that things minimum 50  times to my parents that see how I had written it.. Clean and neat..   Tell again and again to parents that What had done in school.. Repeat our self until parents give proper reply.. I  loved the movie Chillar Party.. 

Love to take participate in all the events.. Whatever it was Garba, Dance, Drama, Singing, Dancing, any competition..   That was really the Golden time..  no one can get that Happiness by giving any amount of money.. because childhood is the Golden period of everyone’s life.. J

Some motivational videos..

Don't lose Hope in life.. And when ever you face any failure see this video and the hard work.. Nothing is possible without hard work.. Practice makes man perfect.. This is the everyday hard work to get the success.. sometimes we need a little push in life.. and to get motivate is like.. getting the "Jannon (passion)" to do that thing any how..  I love its music most :)


This video I love the most.. To make the change in a great manner and to do the thing.. Which is not even possible..
                                                                                                                                                             
                       
This is the Story of the great person.. we all know him.. But may be we doesn't know that what this person had suffered in life.. and still never lose the strength to do something.. hats off...


I always used to  think that I am not lucky and wrong things happens with me only.. and someone made me realize that there are lots of person who doesn't have hands or legs or  paralyzed .. and we are lucky enough because we do have food to eat.. and a house to sleep.. and we are able to do our own work.. so we are the lucky one in this life.. and see how people live.. himate marda to madade khuda.. This person has something which we do not have.. strength to live the life.. Understand the value of it.. 

 

Sab kuch khone ke bad bhi sab vapis aa sakta he.. Nasib bhi unka sath deta he jo mahenat karna jante he..

I have never ever realized the seriousness of traffic jam until I faced it

I have always seen in movie that traffic jam is very bad situation and I have never realized its seriousness until I faced it.. When I have seen the movie Nayak and its scene about traffic jam and  the situation how serious that scene was about the situation of traffic jam.. I thought areeeey!  itna jyada bhi thodi na hota he!!!! And the time come.. when this thing happened to me..I was coming from home. 2 hours had passed and I was in the middle of my way coming back and I just got stuck in the traffic jam for 4 hours .. because of some Rathyatra in the city.. Traffic was jam all over the city.. People were not having the drinking water with them.. and of course not every one keep food with them in journey where I  was stuck was near four cross roads.. there was one lari and that person was having  some water pouch and snacks.. which got finished in some time.. may be he wouldn't have expected that his all things got  in this much less time.. 


kids were feeling so bored and the temperature was going down although it was the evening time.. there was one family in the bus  and they had train to catch for Kashmir for their vacation from ahmedabad.. they were also stuck in the jam.. when they realized that they are going to miss the train they leaved the bus and was searching for the another vehicle to reach ahmedabad.. but I do not think that they would have catch their train because we were in the middle of the city and jam was around 10 to 12 kilometers.. 


some people were searching for water , some for food.. Any person didnt come to handle the situation until it was too late.. there were 3 ambulances stuck around my bus.. and I am sure that some one had lost nearest person to them as they couldn't pass the jam.. and the person didn't get that medical service..It was too hard for me to handle their voices because I was feeling their pain in their voice.. 


some people got their blood pressure high.. and some people were feeling suffocation.. so many were on their phone talking to others while some got their phone battery law.. some people just came out of their vehicle and was spending time in masti and timepass.. while some were tense about the situation they were going to face because of that jam(as they were late for something).. some one was trying to convince the other person for postponed the meeting while some one was trying to convince the one who was waiting.. some were trying to hold on and handle the situation.. some were sad because they missed some thing.. while some were happy that they got stuck.. and my family was worried about me that when I will reach to my place.. and like my family so many people were worried about someone who was there in that jam..


After trying 3 hours  they had started clearing the traffic by sending it out of the city.. my bus had came through the longest way .. and I had completed my 4 hour journey in 9 hours.. because of the traffic jam and the way my bus had  taken.. I  was even lucky that I got  stuck for 4 hours in that jam but that traffic got the whole night to cleared.. and the next day newspaper had the news about that jam..


May be it was  not all what  I had seen.. but I am afraid to imagine how many things can happen because of any situation like this.. We all are connected to so many people.. and we cant even imagine what is happening with the one whom we love..and how one's life get affected by other.. how many life were affected at that day I don't know.. How many good or bad things happened that day I  don't know.. how many lose something during that  time and how many earn some thing.. no idea.. But I realized that what is traffic jam and how serious this thing is.. and yeah if any delay can give happiness to someone its good to hear but when some lose something or someone important that is hard to accept..

Kevi Rite Jaish

Finally....... Some one has tried to change everything about Gujarati cinema.. I am really feeling proud about it.. believe or not.. But today's audience(Gujarati) Doesn't like to watch gujarati movie  I mean specially young generation or the people who live in cities.. But after watching the promo I am really exited about it.. and waiting for the release date..


The amazing thing about this movie is that "They had completed movie shooting just in 23 days and used 32 different locations.. :) "

This movie is not just about the love.. yeah it is the common topic but everyone knows that its a truth and people are really crazy about going to USA.. I even have seen the people(specially patels) who is having lots of money.. and never need to work in their life again.. if they want they can live like king.. but still they are crazy about going to USA..

This movie has the best rock song "Pankhida".. sung by Suraj Jagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suraj_Jagan)..  The original song is "Pankhida re udi jajo pavagadh re.."
Kevi Rite Jaish is all set to feature  songs sung by Roop Kumar Rathod, suraj Jagan, Parthiv Ghohil , Mehul Surti, Aishwarya Majumdar,Dhvanit Thaker, Aman Lekhadia and Vishvesh Parmar..



The second song of this movie Aa Safar..

Everything about this movie is Fantastic.. The photography, the level of thinking, the idea, songs, creativity, cinematography(Used Red Mx Camera for the first time in Gujarati cinema),the people who worked in the film or work for film each and everything.. They had thought of every aspect while making the film.. and the fantastic thing about this movie is that the people who has participated for this movie are almost youngsters.. One idea can change your life.. and I think this is the idea going to change everything about Gujarati cinema and people's thinking about gujarati movies..  yeah there are some good gujarati movies.. But those movies didn't attract everyone.. The last movie which was in theater for months was "Desh re joya dada pardesh joya"  as I remember.. But there were specific crowd left which were not attracted by the film..

This movie promo is really like any Hindi movie promo..And I have never seen this type of promo of Gujarati movie.. and yeah heroine of this movie is also not only in chaniyacholi and Hero not in kediya or in any typical dress.. yeah our traditional culture is good and we love that type of clothes..but really I mean come on who wears that type of clothes all time even in gujarat..

But I think this movie is going to rockkkkkkkkkk.... These people even did Good advertisement in every manner.. and yeah I have seen that the people who just watch to see Hollywood movie as they think that not every Bollywood movies are good.. they also like the movie promo and they are going to watch this movie and listen songs of this movie.. :D (which I like most) that It has changed people's mentality already ;)

In south, movies of their own language got hit like anything.. I am just waiting for that time  in Gujarat.. and su khabar apna tyan pan koi Rajnikant thai jay.. ;) so Gujju rockkkkksss.. All the best to movie..

This is what I feel about the movie.. and I am sure everyone who is watching the movie promo feeling the same.. and if u like it then please share your thoughts about the movie on the official page.. so they get to know about our opinions ..

Motorola to shut down its Zumo Drive

Motorola is going to shut down its cloud storage service – Zumo Drive, as the company gears up to launch an improved cloud storage service called MotoCast.

The new Motorola cloud service, MotoCast, is likely to provide instant access to users’ PC content from their smartphones, tablets or another PC. MotoCast will also allow users to stream their own music, videos, photos and files.
Zumo Drive is available for a variety of platforms including Android, iOS, Windows and Linux. Zumo Drive users enjoy 2GB of free cloud storage. 
According to reports, Motorola has begun notifying its users regarding closure of Zumo Drive services. Motorola has asked users to take a back up of data as Zumo Drive shuts down next month. To download Motorola’s new cloud storage service, users need to visit www. Mymotocast.com.
Earlier, HTC had also announced closing its cloud storage service HTC Sense. The company has given users until April 30 to keep hold of their data as the company has decided to delete them.
Explaining reason behind the move, HTC said the htcsense.com is "undergoing a renovation". "Until the new services are ready, features previously available on HTCSense.com will be shutting down," a letter on the site said. However, HTC also promises to keep users updated about the launch of “new and improved” cloud storage service.

small things always matter.. sometimes we just don't notice


Do read this story once!!!


“When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.


Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?


I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn’t talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Jane. I didn’t love her anymore. I just pitied her!


With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Jane so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.


The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn’t have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Jane. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again.


In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn’t want anything from me, but needed a month’s notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month’s time and she didn’t want to disrupt him with our broken marriage.


This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that every day for the month’s duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request.


I told Jane about my wife’s divorce conditions. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.


My wife and I hadn’t had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don’t tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset. I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office.


On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn’t looked at this woman carefully for a long time. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her.


On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again. I didn’t tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger.


She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily.


Suddenly it hit me… she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head.


Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it’s time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly. I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.


But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn’t noticed that our life lacked intimacy. I drove to office…. jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind…I walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.


She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won’t divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn’t value the details of our lives, not because we didn’t love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I’ll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.


That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed -dead. My wife had been fighting CANCER for months and I was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save me from the whatever negative reaction from our son, in case we push through with the divorce.— At least, in the eyes of our son—- I’m a loving husband….


The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.


So find time to be your spouse’s friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!

Adobe Photoshop Touch application

Photoshop Touch is one of six new Touch Apps that Adobe has released for Android tablets running Honeycomb. It is designed to bring many of Photoshop's most popular features to Android tablets, allowing creative professionals to integrate these tablets into their mobile workflow.


The Photoshop Touch app is no replacement for the desktop version of Photoshop, but it does bring many popular Photoshop tools, filters, and effects to Honeycomb tablets with a finger-friendly touch interface. Photoshop Touch connects to Adobe's Creative Cloud so you can move your work back and forth between the tablet and the desktop. You can also share images via email and Facebook, though sadly there was no Twitter option.


The interface stays out of the way, with tools around both the edges and top of the screen occupied by the selection tools, adjustments, effects, and other miscellaneous items. Icons and menus are large and finger-friendly, and double tapping a layer will take you into a 3D view of all the layers in the current project.


The selection tools are limited only by the accuracy of the tip of your finger, unless you opt for a capacitive stylus or have a tablet with an active digitizer such as the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet or the AT&T HTC Jetstream. Photoshop Touch will take advantage of the pressure sensitivity of active digitizers, although it is the only one of the Touch Apps currently able to do so. Working with the selection tools does take some getting used to, but I was able to successfully replace a coworker's head in a photo taken from the tablet with a cow's head downloaded from Google Images in just a few minutes.


Several great interactive tutorials are included to help you get used to the interface and familiarize yourself with all of the tools available. Most of them are also finger friendly, but drawing or painting with a finger can get awkward quickly. When painting the background of one of the tutorials, the tip of my finger got sore just from rubbing back and forth over the glass. I recommend getting a stylus if you plan on using the app for extensive periods of drawing or painting.


Manipulating images is easy: You use two fingers to pinch and zoom or pan around. Zooming and panning came in handy when trying to make small and accurate selections. There was just a hint of lag in the process though, with the zooming starting just after I would have expected.


One of the main restrictions you'll run into when using Photoshop Touch vs. the desktop version of Photoshop is the difference in the way the projects are stored. Photoshop Touch uses a new file type called PSDX, which can be imported into CS5 with a plug in. PSDX files are limited to 1600 by 1600 pixels and 16 layers. Text is rasterized once you finish adding it, so it can be deleted, but not edited afterwards. Effects also don't remain live, and while they can be undone, they can't be changed.


These limitations are to keep the performance in line with what current tablets are capable of. Even so, many of the effects and adjustments can take several seconds to process, and zooming or panning on images felt the slightest bit laggy to me.


All in all, Photoshop Touch provides a wide array of useful and easy-to-use tools for manipulating images on the go.

Change Everything


Memristor circuits lead to ultrasmall PCs. Intel and AMD unleash massively multicore CPUs. Samsung TVs respond to your every gesture. These and other developing technologies will fundamentally change the way you think about--and use--technology.

image
The Next Big thing? The memristor, a microscopic component that can "remember" electrical states even when turned off. It's expected to be far cheaper and faster than flash storage. A theoretical concept since 1971, it has now been built in labs and is already starting to revolutionize everything we know about computing, possibly making flash memory, RAM, and even hard drives obsolete within a decade.
The memristor is just one of the incredible technological advances sending shock waves through the world of computing. Other innovations in the works are more down-to-earth, but they also carry watershed significance. From the technologies that finally make paperless offices a reality to those that deliver wireless power, these advances should make your humble PC a far different beast come the turn of the decade.

Four Vedas



Division of the Vedas :-
- Rigveda
- Yajurveda
- Sama-Veda
- Atharva-Veda


         The Rigved is the oldest extant Indic text. It is a collection of 1,028 Vedic Sanskrit hymns and 10,600 verses in all, organized into ten books. The hymns are dedicated to Rigvedic deities.The books were composed by poets from different priestly groups over a period of several centuries, commonly dated to the period of roughly the second half of the 2nd millennium BCE  in the Punjab.


       The Yajurveda is the Yajurveda Samhita consists of archaic prose mantras and also in part of verses borrowed and adapted from the Rigveda.
      Its purpose was practical, in that each mantra must accompany an action in sacrifice but, unlike the Samaveda, it was compiled to apply to all sacrificial rites.There are two major groups of recensions of this Veda, known as the "Black" (Krishna) and "White" (Shukla) Yajurveda (Krishna and Shukla Yajurveda respectively). While White Yajurveda separates the Samhita from its Brahmana (the Shatapatha Brahmana), the e Black Yajurveda intersperses the Samhita with Brahmana commentary. Of the Black Yajurveda four major recensions survive (Maitrayani, Katha, Kapisthala-Katha, Taittiriya).


    The Samaveda consists of 1549 stanzas, taken almost entirely (except for 78 stanzas) from the Rigveda.Like the Rigvedic stanzas in the Yajurveda, the Samans have been changed and adapted for use in singing. Some of the Rigvedic verses are repeated more than once. Including repetitions, there are a total of 1875 verses numbered in the Samaveda recension translated by Griffith. Two major recensions remain today, the Kauthuma/Ranayaniya and the Jaiminiya.


      The Artharvaveda is the text 'belonging to the Atharvan and Angirasa poets. It has 760 hymns, and about 160 of the hymns are in common with the Rigveda Most of the verses are metrical, but some sections are in prose. It was compiled around 900 BCE, although some of its material may go back to the time of the Rigveda, and some parts of the Atharva-Veda are older than the Rig-Veda though not in linguistic form.


   Unlike the other three Vedas, the Atharvanaveda has less connection with sacrifice. Its first part consists chiefly of spells and incantations, concerned with protection against demons and disaster, spells for the healing of diseases, for long life and for various desires or aims in life.


The second part of the text contains speculative and philosophical hymns.

zero



Aryabhatta (origin of zero):-


Aryabhatta (476-550 A.D.), one of the world’s greatest mathematician-astronomer .


 It contains mathematical and astronomical hypothesis that have been discovered to be quite accurate in contemporary mathematics. For example, he wrote that if 4 is added to 100 and then multiplied by 8 then added to 62,000 then divided by 20,000 the answer will be equal to the circumference of a circle of diameter twenty thousand. This calculates to 3.1416 close to the actual value Pi (3.14159). But his greatest donation has to be zero, known as the "Shunya" in his times. His other works include theorems on trigonometry, arithmetic, algebra, quadratic equations and the sine table.
The place-value system, first seen in the 3rd century Bakhshali Manuscript, was clearly in place in his work. While he did not use a symbol for zero, the French mathematician Georges Ifrah explains that knowledge of zero was implicit in Aryabhata's place-value system as a place holder for the powers of ten with null coefficients.
However, Aryabhata did not use the Brahmi numerals. Continuing the Sanskritic tradition from Vedic times, he used letters of the alphabet to denote numbers, expressing quantities, such as the table of sines in a mnemonic form.
