SONY vs AUSTRALIANS
FLOP of SONY VAIO notebooks
VAIO line of notebooks, specifically the VGN-TZ100, VGN-TZ200, VGN-TZ300 and VGN-TZ2000 series are failed,
because of "irregularly positioned wires near the computer's hinge and dislodged screw inside the hinge," are susceptible to short-circuits and overheating, possibly even posing a fire risk.
Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh both were axed from Rest of India squad after their poor show against Sri Lankan's in the recently concluded series. Sourav Ganguly got big set back when selectors announced the team today. Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly who is no longer part of ODI squad is now being droped from Rest of India squad, which the selectors announced that this is most likely team which will play against
Surpise inclusions in the squad are Md. Kaif and Ashok Dinda for their recent impressive show.
The Rest of India squad: Anil Kumble (Captain), Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni (WK), Rahul Dravid, V V S Laxman, Wasim Jaffer, Mohammad Kaif, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Zaheer Khan, R P Singh, Ashok Dinda, Munaf Patel and Parthiv Patel.
Delhi squad will include Indian test side regular Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma and Virendra Sehwag as well as youngsters Virat Kohli, and P.Sagnwan and former opener Akash Chopra.
It is expected to be one of close contest with both side having quality International players.
The bottom line is this clearly indicates the beginning of the end of Bengal Tiger in Tests too.
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam 's Speech in Hyderabad ॥
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation। We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them.Why?
We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India .. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India .. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation. Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance. Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient. YOU say that our laws are too old. YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage. YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke, The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination. YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits. YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it? Take a person on his way to Singapore .. Give him a name - YOURS. Give him a face - YOURS. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity... In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah. YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds ( Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand . Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India ? Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay , Mr. Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan . Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility. We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms. We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity. This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public. When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system? What does a system consist of ? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away. Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England .. When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money. Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too.... I am echoing J. F. Kennedy 's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians..... 'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY' Lets do what India needs from us. Thank you, Dr. Abdul Kalaam
Golden Boy Bindra, the only Indian to win an individual gold in Olympics is Doctor now!
Yes, SRM University-Chennai honoured him with Doctorate during the University's fourth convocation to be held at its campus in Kattankulathur on 7th September. The University officials also presented him a sum of Rs. 5 lakh cash award in recognition of his achievement.
He also laid foundation stone for a Sports Academy to be set up by the University to provide world class infrastructure to nurture sports talent.
Bindra in his address told, "The media in India is cricket-focussed....They have to look at other disciplines as well".
A sad newz for Football lovers.
German and Former Bayern Munich Goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has called it quits! Yes, he has retired from the game on Tuesday.
He played his last match for Bayern Munich against Hertha BSC Berlin in the German first division Bundesliga football match.
Oliver, 39, has made 557 appearances in the Bundesliga for Dortmund and Bayern. He has won eight league titles with Bayern. Associated with the club, he also showed its way to win the Champions League in 2001.
He was voted player of the tournament at the 2002 World Cup for his wonderful show.
Minutes after his last match he said "Tonight was very moving for me, perhaps the most moving moment of my career. I was under pressure my whole career whereas now I just had the joy of being out there in this stadium and before these fans one last time."
In the top image, he waves at the crowd before his last appearance. :(
I can assure, everybody loves to watch him play. One of the greatest Goalie in the history of football has retired now.
We gotta take comfort from the saying "When one door closes, the other will open!"
So, lets cheer up and bid a happy adieu to him.
Adios Oliver!
Good newz for India again!
Indian Tennis sensation Leander Paes and Zimbabwe's Cara Black won the US Open mixed doubles title on Thursday. The pair defeated Britain's Jamie Murray and American Liezel Huber 7-6 (8/6), 6-4 in the finals.
This win at the US open completes the career mixed doubles grand slams for Paes.
He won the French Open and Wimbledon alongside American Lisa Raymond in 1999 and the Wimbledon and Australian Open crowns in 2003 with US star Martina Navratilova.
Now in 2008 comes the US open crown with Cara Black.
Another great newz is Paes and Czech Lukas Dlouhy have advanced to Friday's US Open men's doubles final, where they will face US brothers Mike and Bob Bryan. Hope they defeat the tournament-favorite brothers.
As for Cara Black, she and Huber have advanced to the semi-finals in women's doubles!
Both are having a great run in US open in doubles category.
After the victories in Olympics , this is another victory by an Indian in International sport. Again another occasion to celebrate for India.

camera can turn through 180 degrees.
One year old child found Pregnant in Saudi Arabia! Doctors says it’s a unique case for this world! Medical Science Report says : “When the mother of this child was pregnant, she had 2 foetuses inside her. But one of the foetus grew inside the other, this why this girl was born with the other foetus inside her womb.”
It also had happened to a young boy in South Africa with a same case: The mother had two foetus, and it wasn’t removed until he was 8 when it was more disturbing but after doctors removed they had a confusion if it was a baby or just a tumor but cofirmed that it was a baby!
Actually, he was not with his baby but with his dead twin!
Enjoy the prank played on an innocent rider.

I came up with another poem too, while watching TV.
Here it is:
வரி வட்டி கிஸ்தி யாரை கேட்கிறாய்
வரி எதற்கு கேட்கிறாய் கிஸ்தி - வானம்
பொழிகிறது பூமி விளைகிறது
உனக்கேன் கட்ட வேண்டும் வரி.
I'll write more poems in the future on the following diversified subjects: girls, women, feminine, ladies, etc,.
So, stay tuned.
