What is Gandhi???

Yes, what is Gandhi? I am asking the question what is Gandhi. If you want to enlighten me saying Gandhi is not a what but it is Who, then let me tell you, "Boss you are a genius." But let me tell you one thing, err not just one thing, but a lot of those silly things which definitely are silly and a bit sarcastic to hear but it takes the strength of everest to stand tall to just hear about what I am gonna say.

Gandhi isn't the name of a person who is dubbed as the "Father of the Nation" for a whole country called India but it is synonym for a lot of things like Truth, Non-Violence, Tolerance, and a lot others. Gandhi isn't the name of a person who preached the above mentioned things but the name of a person who kept them in practice and was instrumental in attaining independence to a country which now is enjoying the fruits of freedom. But how many of its population are still following his foot steps or at least remembering him in the right spirit.

People say we never forget Gandhiji but are they really speaking from their hearts or is it coming from their dirty tongues. I don't know much about Gandhiji but with the knowledge I have I only that he was a great man who was and is inspiration to millions of people around the world. I know few of his sayings and try to follow his principles one at a time. May be I am not the right person to tell what is right and what is wrong, may be I am not even the right person to preach but when it comes to listening, as Gandhiji once said if it about good, you can even listen to the bad.

Gandhi isn't a person but Gandhi means Truth, Non-Violence, Tolerance, helping, brotherhood, self-belief, loving, caring and whatever you think is doing good to your fellow being. Gandhi hasn't asked people to become something out of this world but he preached us one thing, "Humans please behave like Humans". May be I am not good at preaching but I may be good at practicing. May be Gandhiji's slogans don't sound good in the modern sophisticated world but the inner meaning will stay put for ages to come.

HEY RAM...

Social Networking!!! Why???

Why are these social networking sites popping up around us in these huge numbers? Someone says orkut, the other guy says facebook, twitter, myspace and so on and so forth. I don't see any end to this social networking culture in the near future. But why are these getting out of hand? Why people are crazy about these social networking sites?

In the good olden days people used to wake up early perform their daily duties, work hard and in the evening they used to gather around in the shade of a tree or around a round of drinks and used to talk about what's going on around the world. But now we wake up late, do less work and enjoy more and when you need to know what's happening around, there is actually no time for that. Here comes the part of social networking sites.

They were basically intended to bridge the gap between people and bring people around the world closer to each other. Of course they are successful to some extent but beyond that these sites have become a pool of separation between people. Now there is no privacy to what people are up to and with whom they want to share their feelings with. No one cares about the people dying out of hunger and natural calamities, everyday, but everyone is concerned about the dress that Miley Cyrus is gonna wear for her next concert.

Plz guys try to get away from the net of the social networking sites and try to explore the world, I mean the real world. Stop spreading virtuality....

12-21-2012... Are we seriously gonna die...

Man I have lot of things to accomplish and my wish list is pretty big as of now with very few wishes coming true. But many are predicting that the world is gonna become extinct and we all are gonna die on dec 21, 2012. They are saying that some Mayan calender has predicted this and science has confirmed this with the proof that there is some planetary movement that makes the planets to lineup in a single straight line.

But here I am questioning the credibility of this crap. If the so called Mayans had the power to predict the end of the world, then why couldn't they depict all other natural calamities or man made disasters like the Hiroshima bombing or stuff like that. Everywhere it is being mentioned that the scientists are supporting this theory with the planetary movement but what exactly the scientists are saying is that there will be some planetary movements occurring on that particular day but no scientist ever has come out and said that those movements would cause any trouble to us.

Crazy guys have crazy stuff to say and these media people are no exception. Actually the media aren't that crazy, may be they are too intelligent that they are cashing in on this fear factor among general public. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? What I know is, there is still lot of time to spend on this planet as of now....

Windows 7 crazy...

I am one of those crazy dudes who are really crazy about stuff coming out from Redmond or Redwood i.e., from the Microsoft compound. As usual I am crazy about the new Windows 7 coming out from Microsoft. I used the beta version and I am now a part of the RC testing team and guess what I am waiting for my graduation to the Retail version.

I tried with my long lost University mail id and miraculously it worked out for me and now I can get a Windows 7 home and student version for as low as $30. I am sure that I will buy this thing for the given price. Recently I have installed Windows 7 on my laptop using virtual box virtual machine and it works like a gem. Of course Windows 7 isn't that groundbreaking or revolutionary but still it is the best in its class. Try it out guys....
