Turn NOTEPAD into a dairy!
Turn Notepad into a Diary!
Here is a real cool tip for people who use notepad to write down any info on a day to day basis. It serves as a virtual diary. Follow these steps:
->Open a notepad and type .LOG (case senstitive) as the first time.
-> Save and close the file.
-> Double click the file to open it and notice that Notepad appends date and time at the start.
-> Type your notes and then save and close the file.
Each time you open the file, Notepad repeats the process, appending date and time and placing the cursor below it!!

I'm sad!
Today I'm sad for the biggest show-man is no more with us. The one and only one who showed the world what break dancing is and what it takes to fight against all odds to become world's greatest entertainer, has left for heavenly aboard. Yes I'm talking about none other than Michael Jackson.
This guy is the one who inspired me (and million others) and made me go on stage! I cant forget my freshers' in college where i danced to the tune of Billie Jeans which everyone enjoyed. That was my best performance ever and today I dedicate it to MJ.
May his soul rest in peace.

Real Heroes
Just finished watching CNN IBN's Real Heroes. This annual award function in colaboration with Reliance Industries brings into lime-light the people who have outlived life and are in turn working for the life and happiness of others. These ordinary people working in an extra-ordinary capacity to make this world a better place for one and all.
I was watching it for the first time; this year being the second year of felicitation. When I heard about the work these people have done, be it education, healthcare, community, sports, environment, its out of this world. One feels inspired and thankful to the emmense work these people are doing with no external support. Most of them are self funded people, trying to meet their ends. Surely, this felicitation and financial help from Reliance Industries will equip them better to carry on their noble work. It was great to see that people have left the corporate world after getting education from IIT to help their society. Also there was a gentleman who refused IAS job and rather started working for the uplift of the rural.
Personally I want to thank CNN IBN and Reliance Industries for bringing these people to the front. Many will be motivated and inspired to live for others! Salute to these men and women.

Simple analogy for Bubble Burst of Oct 2008
Recently I recieved this in my in-box. Very interesting narration for bubble burst.
Once there was a little island country. The land of this country was the tiny island itself. The total money in circulation was 2 dollars as there were only two pieces of 1 dollar coins circulating around.
1) There were 3 citizens living on this island country. A owned the land. B and C each owned 1 dollar.
2) B decided to purchase the land from A for 1 dollar. So, now A and C own 1 dollar each while B owned a piece of land that is worth 1 dollar.
* The net asset of the country now = 3 dollars.
3) Now C thought that since there is only one piece of land in the country, and land is non producible asset, its value must definitely go up. So, he borrowed 1 dollar from A, and together with his own 1 dollar, he bought the land from B for 2 dollars.
*A has a loan to C of 1 dollar, so his net asset is 1 dollar.
* B sold his land and got 2 dollars, so his net asset is 2 dollars.
* C owned the piece of land worth 2 dollars but with his 1 dollar debt to A, his net residual asset is 1 dollar.
* Thus, the net asset of the country = 4 dollars.
4) A saw that the land he once owned has risen in value. He regretted having sold it. Luckily, he has a 1 dollar loan to C. He then borrowed 2 dollars from B and acquired the land back from C for 3 dollars. The payment is by 2 dollars cash (which he borrowed) and cancellation of the 1 dollar loan to C. As a result, A now owned a piece of land that is worth 3 dollars. But since he owed B 2 dollars, his net asset is 1 dollar.
* B loaned 2 dollars to A. So his net asset is 2 dollars.
* C now has the 2 coins. His net asset is also 2 dollars.
* The net asset of the country = 5 dollars. A bubble is building up.
(5) B saw that the value of land kept rising. He also wanted to own the land. So he bought the land from A for 4 dollars. The payment is by borrowing 2 dollars from C, and cancellation of his 2 dollars loan to A.
* As a result, A has got his debt cleared and he got the 2 coins. His net asset is 2 dollars.
* B owned a piece of land that is worth 4 dollars, but since he has a debt of 2 dollars with C, his net Asset is 2 dollars.
* C loaned 2 dollars to B, so his net asset is 2 dollars.
* The net asset of the country = 6 dollars; even though, the country has only one piece of land and 2 Dollars in circulation.
(6) Everybody has made money and everybody felt happy and prosperous.
(7) One day an evil wind blew, and an evil thought came to C’s mind. “Hey, what if the land price stop going up, how could B repay my loan. There is only 2 dollars in circulation, and, I think after all the land that B owns is worth at most only 1 dollar, and no more.”
(8) A also thought the same way.
(9) Nobody wanted to buy land anymore.
* So, in the end, A owns the 2 dollar coins, his net asset is 2 dollars.
* B owed C 2 dollars and the land he owned which he thought worth 4 dollars is now 1 dollar. So his net asset is only 1 dollar.
* C has a loan of 2 dollars to B. But it is a bad debt. Although his net asset is still 2 dollars, his Heart is palpitating.
* The net asset of the country = 3 dollars again.
(10) So, who has stolen the 3 dollars from the country? Of course, before the bubble burst B thought his land was worth 4 dollars. Actually, right before the collapse, the net asset of the country was 6 dollars on paper. B’s net asset is still 2 dollars, his heart is palpitating.
(11) B had no choice but to declare bankruptcy. C as to relinquish his 2 dollars bad debt to B, but in return he acquired the land which is worth 1 dollar now.
* A owns the 2 coins; his net asset is 2 dollars.
* B is bankrupt; his net asset is 0 dollar. (He lost everything)
* C got no choice but end up with a land worth only 1 dollar
* the net asset of the country = 3 dollars.

A Bucket List
Unrealistic and still made believable :) Thats how I felt after watching this movie and all the credit goes to the outstanding performances by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Also, not to be neglected, the strength of the movie is the ability to create a set of circumstances and interaction to make a rather unbelievable story palatable.
The movie shows strangers Jack and Morgan trying to live their dreams at the end of their lives. Both of them realize that they have less than an year to live. Jack, a billionaire, realizes the "bucket list" of Morgan, a blue collar mechanic and adds his wishes too to the list. Both of them then go around the world fulfilling them. The different places they visit are a beauty to the eyes and definitely in the wish list of many of us too :) The adventures include the heart pumping sky diving, auto drag racing, and trips to exotic locations and foreign countries. Many scenes like the mountain tops and pyramids seem unreal, yet are carried on by the witty and funny lines from Jack's character.
The movie has lot of sentimental scenes which are bound to make your eyes go a bit wet, but as soonas they are wet, the great humour of Jack and Morgan is bound to make you smile. As the movie progresses the strangers get very close and help each other in their personal lives. The movie ends with the ashes of both the friends burried on the top of Mt Everest!!
The movie is a must see :)
