Google - Whats next?

Google has ventured to provide commercial high speed Internet broadband service with speed of 1000 mbps is just mindboggling. This deviation from its core technology business would be a big surprise to many. Google is known to introduce new products with a huge jump in functionality, this is no different. India would definitly need strong push in this arena to provide users with high speed infrastructure in an optimal price.

POEM CONTEST--- Hilarious

Just 4 fun ;)

WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKED FOR A TWO-LINE RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND LINE

This is the winner -

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;
This describes everything you are not.

I thought that I could love no other --
that is until I met your brother.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace;
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes --
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

What inspired this amorous rhyme?
Two parts tequila, one part lime

The Top Five Most Memorable Inaugural Speeches of All Time

Former U.S. president Franklin Roosevelt's third inaugural address on January 20, 1941 has topped a new list of the 'Five Most Memorable Inaugural Speeches of All Time'.
Ronald Reagan's first inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1981, came second in the list, complied by Fox News.

John Kennedy's inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1961, landed the third spot while Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, stood fourth.
Bill Clinton's inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1993, rounded off the top five.

The top five most memorable inaugural speeches of all time are:
1. "Democracy is not dying. We know it because we have seen it revive -- and grow. We know it cannot die -- because it is built on the unhampered initiative of individual men and women joined together in a common enterprise -- an enterprise undertaken and carried through by the free expression of a free majority. We know it because democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will. We know it because democracy alone has constructed an unlimited civilization capable of infinite progress in the improvement of human life. We know it because, if we look below the surface, we sense it still spreading on every continent -- for it is the most humane, the most advanced, and in the end the most unconquerable of all forms of human society." -- Franklin Roosevelt's third inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1941.

2. "It is no coincidence that our present troubles parallel and are proportionate to the intervention and intrusion in our lives that result from unnecessary and excessive growth of government. It is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to small dreams. We're not, as some would have us believe, doomed to an inevitable decline. I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing. So, with all the creative energy at our command, let us begin an era of national renewal. Let us renew our determination, our courage, and our strength. And let us renew our faith and our hope." -- Ronald Reagan's first inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1981.

3. "In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it -- and the glow from that fire can truly light the world." -- John Kennedy's inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1961.

4. "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address on March 4, 1865.

5. "Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America." -- Bill Clinton's inaugural address on Jan. 20, 1993.

A Cool Matrimonial Ad --- Excellent

Now that I have seen almost 20 years of my life and most of it without anyone who I could in the true sense call as a friend…..I have been thinking now for a while as to how my spouse oughta be…………

# # # # I am not looking for only a beautiful, slim and an intelligent girl…….They are all clichés. The ones that matter are:

The first prerequisite I expect of my wife --- no it isn't the ability to understand me, that's the second---- the first one's a sense of humour for me and all my nonsense

She must sleep in my lap and allow me into hers. She must run her hand into my hair and fight me with pillows as often as she can.

She must allow me to disturb her, Which I will, ---no matter how busy and serious she is and I am--- , while she goes about our household chores.

She must sit with me shoulder in shoulder when we watch the late night movie together and must oblige to have a midnight walk anytime in the night.

When the curry isn't nice and I stare into her eyes, she must straight away go and make an omlette for me.

When she is downright tired she must flirt with me to win a cup of tea or a glass of cold water. She must be ready to blow a kiss any time any day and any place. By the way I take kiss only on lips.

She should call me nicknames and how innovative she coins out new ones the better and must be prepared to confront some deadly ones in return. She can call me 'Tu' or anything as am not at all particular about those pronouns.

She got every right to beat me up when I annoy her while she watches those dready serials. She can also extract what she wants of me on women's day. And I am also ready to share her pre-marital crushes and secrets.

On those rare occasions when we might fight and then go on a mourning spree, it can continue for the night. The next morning must again be normal.

I aint promising her a paradise but yes she will always get more of my love than our children.

And finally, she must have a higher life expectancy than me. I may not be able to live without her…..

Indian Educationist

Lots have been written about the teaching system in India and much have been to that of the western countries. Its a know fact that our college curriculum have to the level of that US or European countries what we lag is how our teachers have been equibed with knowledge and experience. Is it that lack of funds that makes our professors in ill equibed with updated syllabus and negligence that they are showing to this most important field if Indians were to compete with rest of the world. There are some points that comes to my mind to enhance our education n educationists:

1) Enough should be funded to Schools and colleges and make sure its spent on the priority basis

2) Strict evaluation should be made in granting permission to open schools and Universities

3) Our School teachers and College professors should be the people who should be given good salary, to make the profession good

4) It bcoz IT companies came to give ppl good salaries, if we need good teachers in that field to teach students we need to pay them good

5) There should be very good training provided to them on a period basis

Coming to our govt colleges which even now have a good reputation, but the quality of teaching is degrading day by day. Its bcoz its loosing its good professors and the ppl who join are inexperienced and have not been given adequate salary and training. Also one of worst decisions made in recent times in Tamilnadu education system is scrapping the Professional course entrance exams, saying that students in villages can't get enough coaching as that of students in cities. Its a disaster to scrap a system that doing well and a transparent single window system. We should look only at positive ways to improve the education and not at removing a system that is so good and transparent.

In one of the recent survey points that when students of various countries were tested on their syllabus with questions that were indirect which requires som analysis, Indian students fared very poorly compared to others. Its bcoz our teaching stresses very less on the analysis aspect but its more prioritised on the exam point and memorizing things. Also to comptete and equibe ourselves for challenges of the world class industry and business, students should not only be master of the syllabus and have good marks but also have exposure to sports and stage presence and they should know the soft skill that were very important nowadays.
