Indian Education system
This is called the Rote Learning System .....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rote_learning
.....and yes..India is mentioned!
Its high time our Education system gets a revamp.....The system is releasing robots in form of engineers and doctors who are programmed to work but just can't think!.....The streams where your creativity is tested like Arts and Languages have no takers.....The no. of people taking up basic sciences as their main stream is dwindling day by day......Its real sad how things are going on...A society cannot survive with only doctors and engineers!.....
One major thing lacking in the Indian Education system - To inculcate the ability to "Think different"....The progress of human race is impossible without thinking different.....The few who dared to think different have made India proud....its high time the rest do too!!..
These are lines from an Apple Ad......
Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones,
We see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think
they can change the world,
Are the ones who do.

Why isnt Apple called a Monopoly?
Why then, at the end of the day, only Microsoft gets brickbats from its competitors.?....Why people have problems with Microsoft including software in the OS?.....Doesnt Mac include too?....And whats the big deal if you bundle your own software with your product...If your software is better than the one provided by Microsoft......obviously people will shift to your software......Just look at the case of Firefox.....Its not provided by default with Windows but look at how its user base is expanding....

Shisha, Hookah or Noxious Fumes?
Taken from a Gulfnews excerpt :
http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/07/11/05/10165130.html
According to Wikipedia :
But theres good news for hookah lovers too :
So the conclusion : Unless you know whats there burning on top of the shisha....You could be smoking highly noxious fumes!!.....

Burj,Burjer,Burjest...Burj Dubai
2003
2004
2005
2006
2007
Ahh....astonishing isnt it?...Not just the tower....but also pace it is getting built with....dubai is going crazy..(compare the sheikh zayed rd. in 2003 and 2005)..Reminds me of those early ages where kings used to hire craftsmen and labourers to build monuments.....Something like the pyramids or the Taj Mahal.....:).....pretty much of a similar thing is happening in dubai.....a great king (a.k.a sheikh) importing thousands of labourers from india, pakistan and bangladesh and stuffing them in inhuman labour camps (conditions back home arent too great either...) to build a monument (The world's tallest tower) which the world will watch with their mouths wide-open......
No matter what happens ....the dubai bubble bursts or not.....Shaikh Mohammed and dubai will always be remembered for the audacious projects......Dubai is definitely one place where you think to dare and not dare to think...
Hope the shaikh does something about the labour camps....
Firecrackers or Money-on-fire?
Diwali indeed is a festival of lights.....Why not celebrate Diwali the original way?....with deepas and umpteen other "non gun-powder" techniques of lighting up a place...Dont tell me there were firecrackers during Ram's time....:)
