Best wishes to all who agree or disagree with me. So many things to look for in 2012 -

and few more ...

The year started with a gunman shooting a park ranger in MT. Rainer national reserve. What a pathetic start? At the home front, we are battling with our elder one's stomach virus, missed the school on the very first day of the year. Poor chap ... hope he feels better and all of you too as the year progress.

It's x-mas time and Santa got something for us.

Many of you might know Pirelli for there famous calendars that we use to wonder about. Long before Vijay Mallya (Pronounce it accordingly) introduced Kingfisher calendar to Indians, Pirelli was a famous name. It was 1964 when they started the calendar and since then it has been the cult of best photographic portraits of famous models and actresses. If you need a Pirelli Calendar, well there is a way to get the original but not that easy. They are normally sold in upscale Milan market.

There are batsman and than there are batsman ...
Most people who have been in a lean patch for some time and under scrutiny by national selectors will try to spend their time on crease, get settled, reach 50 in 55 balls, take it easy. But not Sehwag, he had some under 10 scores and not many big ones in the recent past, but that does not deter him from playing the way he did today in Indore. Exhilarating innings.

As in America, every sport is statistic and thats how they think too. In Europe and other parts of the world, sports is about beauty, the idiomatic way of making runs and all that flair that justifies the 25 Pounds you fish to watch a cricket match.

Many of the famous CEOs of today take 1 dollar as a salary. Steve jobs did it from 1997 till he died. Although his net worth was estimated to be 7 billion dollars, but the wealth was due to Disney-Pixar alliance. He never received any bonus either. Meg Whitman ( new HP CEO) is suppose to receive $1 as her annual salary and her severance package is 1.5 times of her salary if she leaves before completing the first year, so it is $1.50. Many others are same and you may google to find more such.

Just woke up with the news that I was waiting for since long. Adobe has taken a wise decision and dumped the troublesome flash. The emerging standard of HTML5 is now the standard for mobile computing also. For all your limitless thoughts about implementing the ideas on cell phones can now be realized without the need for spending the money on proprietary software. Open source like Sencha ( http://www.sencha.com), Jquery (jquery.com) are some of those.

I intend to write here about life, technology, politics and what frustrate me ..
