Men... The most beautiful creation of GOD

I think everyone might have read abt Mom's, Wife's and Girl's...

Its time to learn something abt Men...

A boy/man  is one of the most beautiful creations of God.

He starts compromising at very tender age. He sacrifices his chocolates for his sister.

     

Later he sacrifices his love for just a smile on his parents face. He sacrifices his love for his wife and children by working late nights.

He builds their future by taking loans from banks and then repaying them for the life time. Thus he sacrifices full youth for his wife and children without any complain.

    

Believe me he struggles a lot but still has to hear the music (scolding) of Mother, wife and his boss. Yet every mother, wife and boss tries to have control over him.

                                   

Finally his life ends up by compromising for others happiness. He is that creature of God who no one can compete with.

    

Respect every boy/man in your life. You will never know what he has sacrificed for you.

 

Just extend your hand when he needs it

Boys also Have Emotions and respect it. 

Flipkart Rocks!!!

This is not an advertisement.

I am always reading something, and most of the time I am on a hunt for books. During one of my searches last week, I randomly landed on flipkart.com. 

Flipkart is offering books at great prices, discounts vary from 30-40%. The fresh smelling copy arrives in a neatly laminated package in no time. A good product clubbed with great price and excellent service raise the online marketing to a hitherto unknown level in India.

I ordered a book on Friday evening and the book delivered on Monday afternoon. Happy with the service, I ordered another 3 books on Monday evening, I was surprised that the books were delivered on Tuesday, that is less than 24 hrs.

If more products are added to the list and the same momentum continues, Flipkart is sure to give ebay a stiff competition . With Amazon destined to enter Indian markets soon, the war of online marketing in India is only going to get tough. It would be great to see an indigenous company emerging victorious. Good Luck!

Massive Uranium found in Andhra

A uranium mine is found at Tumalapalli, the current estimates suggest a massive quantity of 49,000 tonnes, sufficient to supply a 8000 MW plant for 40 years. Srikumar Banerjee, secretray of DAE and chairman of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, announced the discovery during the foundation stone-laying ceremony of the seventh and eighth units of the Rawatbhata atomic power project. 

Further investigations are on and the total quantity could be 3 times as much, possibly making it the largest Uranium mine in world.

This comes as a major boost for India, which sees nuclear energy as a powerful resource to satisfy its ever increasing demand of power. India has been dependent on country such as France, Kazakhstan for raw fissile material. India has currently 2 mines, both in Jharkhand with a total capacity of 1,70,000 tonnes. This new discovery serves as a major boost and will reduce India's dependency on foreign supplies.

Moreover the foundation stone has been laid for 7th & 8th unit of Rawatbhata plant in Rajasthan, 2 indigenously built nuclear 700 MW capacity plants. They will be completed by 2016 at an estimated cost of Rs.12,000 crores.

Healthy Longevity, a day not to far?

Well, if words of Aubrey de Grey are to be believed, the human life expectancy can see drastic increment in near future. Within his own lifetime doctors will have all necessary tools to reverse the damage caused by ageing, predicted the bio-medical gerontologist and chief scientist of SENS foundation (research foundation for rejuvenation bio-technologies).

De Grey foresee a time when people will go to a doctor for regular maintenance like stem cell therapy, immune system stimulation, genetic and other advanced treatments to keep them in good shape. He describes ageing as the lifelong accumulation of various types of molecular and cellular damage throughout the body.

"The idea is to engage in what you might call preventative geriatrics, where you go in to periodically repair that molecular and cellular damage before it gets to the level of abundance that is pathogenic," he explained.

How far and how fast the life expectancy will increase is a matter of debate, but the trend is quite clear. Currently average life expectancy is increasing by 3 months every year, and experts claim there will be more than a million centenarians by 2030. Some researchers however say, that obesity may falter the trends towards longevity.

For some the concept of long living is not very fascinating as it associates the images of sick, weak old people and societies who are increasingly less able to cope.

"This is absolutely not a matter of keeping people alive in a bad state of health," he told. "This is about preventing people from getting sick as a result of old age. The particular therapies that we are working on will only deliver long life as a side effect of delivering better health."

De Grey classify cell damaging due to ageing in 7 categories, for which redevelopment technologies need to be discovered if his predictions of regular maintenance and longevity are to come true. For more details  on his theory and SENS foundation, follow the links.

Google +, A rival to Facebook?

And here we go again, another attempt to regain the coveted spot in Social Networking. After a lot of hush hush Google launches its social media tool with best of Facebook + exciting new features. It has already exceeded the expectations of not only googlers but also their servers. The response has been so overwhelming that invitation feature has been disabled as well as old invitations revoked temporarily. Latest message said "Already invited? We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon."

Google + is seen as a major threat to Facebook. The timing for its launch couldn't have been better amid the recent reports of saturation of Facebook users across most of Europe & Americas. Most talked about feature in Google+:

1. +Circles, where we can create separate clusters of all connected to us to share updates. Its no longer needed to share everything with everyone on the web or everyone connected to us, certainly we would not like to share the same updates with our friends, family & colleagues.
2. +Hangout, the all new video chat with an upper cap of 10 users in a conference is a befitting reply to skype conference (recently acquired by Microsoft).
3. +Spark, a suggestion feature similar to youtube, where we can see articles, video which might interest us based on cognitive intelligence.

The fire has prompted Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, to announce exciting new updates to facebook users (Though the features are yet undisclosed). As per the latest updates, even Mark Zuckerberg has opened Google+ account. As they say, its always advisable to keep an eye on competitors.

The speculations are rife, will Google+ dethrone Facebook, as MySpace was dethroned by Facebook?. We will need to wait and watch!

Office goes on Cloud

The office utility from Microsoft, finally goes online. Last week one of the most awaited service from Microsoft was launched with much hype in 40 markets worldwide, allowing users to access Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, and Lync Products online.

Now the documents can be accessed from anywhere and can be simultaneously worked upon. The idea triggered in 2007 by none other than our own Sabeer Bhatia (also founder of hotmail, first free email service) with the launch of Office Live, followed by Google docs and now Microsoft coming with it's complete Office utility on internet cloud.

Three versions of the product are available:

1. O365 for SMBs (less than 25 employees) with monthly pricing of $6/user.
2. O365 for Enterprises with pricing ranging from $2/user to $27/user on a monthly basis
3. O365Education, that is expected to replace LiveEdu

The product promises to be a cost effective option for users. However, it’s not the direct license cost where customers are saving money. It’s actually IT overheads and administration costs where SMBs are likely to benefit. For example, for a 100 employee enterprise deploying the $27/user/month plan, the annual cost is $32,400 at full price; Microsoft Office 2010 retails at $49,900 for 100 licenses at full price (ex. Implementation and administration). Thus, from second year onwards, Microsoft is actually making more money. However SMBs are actually benefiting as they don’t have to spend too much on IT overhead and infrastructure.

Until now Microsoft has been struggling with piracy, specially in emerging markets with higher growth potentials than the stable markets. Now the users will have a cost effective option, saving a lot of revenue for company. Assuming Microsoft can also maintain 75-80% margins as other SaaS vendors, this could be a win win situation.
