Some Morale in my blog ... Read it !

There was a couple who used to go to shop in the beautiful stores.
They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. One day in
this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, "May we see
that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it to
them, suddenly the teacup spoke.


"You don't understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup. There
was a time when I was red and I was clay." My master took me and rolled
me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "let me alone", but he
only smiled, "Not yet."


"Then I was placed on a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and suddenly
I was spun around and around and around. Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!" I
screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet."


Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he
wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him
through the opening and I could read his lips as He shook his head, "Not
yet."


Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool.
"There, that's better," I said. And he brushed and painted me all over.
The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. "Stop it, stop it!" I
cried. He only nodded, "Not yet."


Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one.
This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded.
I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening
nodding his head saying, "Not yet."


Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready
to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the
shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at
yourself." And I did. I said, "That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's
beautiful. I'm beautiful."


"I want you to remember," then, he said, "I know it hurts to be rolled
and patted, but if I had left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it
made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you
would have crumbled.

I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I
hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad
when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you
never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your
life.

And if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive
for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a
finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with
you."


God knows what He's doing (for all of us).He is the Potter, and we are
His clay.


He will mold us and make us, So that we may be made into a flawless
piece of work To fulfill His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

"Kuch Taare Bollywood Mein"

On Dec 21 it was in the middle of the day when me and my friend (Anil) planned out under a scorching sun for a Telugu movie called "Happy Days" but to our fortunes the movie wasn't any more in theaters . So we were walking back to our homes when we caught this very picture shown below hanging on to the wall with only only corner still clinched about to be ripped off any moment.So we took an auto and ran to that theater place only to find out that it was sparely populated, as i guess people were busy celebrating Bakrid in their homes .Like anticipated we bought the tickets and went up the aisle and suddenly everything went blank




Whole of Two hours passed without getting noticed much except the intermission and One word was reccuring in my mind "AWESOME" till i found a way back to my home. I wanted to go back and confirm myself if its bollywood flick (Of course it was) BUT it segregates itself from the usual stream of movies.First time (not exactly first , but one has to use such interims u know to make the things appear brighter) I was shell shocked that i ran down the memory lane of my school days reveling and glorifying about my past. Guys if you are thinking whats the bottom line of this whole passage , I would beg you to spare two hours of your damn existence for the movie

why LOST scores?

One can find out what is it and why is it so great about LOST TV Series which make me to freak about it so much. It ‘s not the mysterious island that interest’s me but the story that revolves around every characters life even before the crash on an Island and the fact they have highlighted is that
“What we are in the present has a lot more got to do with what we were in the past?”

We get to see everything on this show a doctor, a savage, fugitive, a crippled, a mother, a cop, a priest, a Junkie etc and how these lives get along with one another when they are thrown on a deserted Island where one cant live survive all by themselves but got to depend on each other leaving no choice . And some of the trivial things like how they are connected to each other and the way numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) mattered on their lives.
Another feature about the show is the way they have blended flashbacks, current and flash forwards to keep you more hooked to the show. Some of the incidents like reason for the plane crash have been backed up with appropriate reason is what is intriguing while many of the other things still remain mysterious yet to be answered

Now its reached a point where they are about to get off the island “But unfortunately its been told that Rescuing is not primary objective of freighters? If not then what could it be ?”

"My View on India Poised"

Before reading Question your self, do u think India is ready to step out and scream in chorus with already developed countries? Well to know about my opinion read the following

At night., as I take a stroll after dinner I see street light shining brightly, I think about the TOI’s India poised campaign .A new India waiting to take its rightful place in the global era?? The anthem does make you think.Pepole say the job is now in the hands of the youth but I feel the
Older generation can also chip in and be a big part of contribution. we need guidance and good leaders .Timely placed natural calamities reminds us of the wonderful nature of the Indians but it also brings about the mismanagement of the funds. Terrorists keep popping up here and there bringing the nation to a standstill yet at the same time there are ordinary and young people particularly who are taking things into their own hands .Its these people who will be the face of the nation’s future .So its their obligation to show us right direction about where, what and when to do ?

I felt like India itself had two of its own kind. One India is straining at the leash, eager to spring forth and live up to all the adjectives that the world has been recently showering upon us. The other India is the leash. One India says "Give me a chance, and I'll prove myself." The other India says "Prove yourself first, and maybe then, you'll have a chance." One India lives in the optimism of our hearts. The other India lurks in the skepticism of our minds. One India wants. The other India hopes. One India leads. The other India follows .These conversions are on the rise. And quietly, while the world is not looking, a pulsating, dynamic India is emerging. An India whose faith in success is far greater than its fear of failure. An India that no longer boycotts foreign-made goods, but buys out the companies that makes them instead. For over half a century, our nation has sprung, stumbled, run , fallen, rolled over, got up and dusted our self, and cantered, sometimes lurched on. But now, in our sixtieth year as a free nation, the ride has brought us to the edge of time's great precipice. And one India, a tiny little voice at the back of the head, is looking down at the bottom of the ravine, and hesitating. The other India is looking up at the sky and saying, "It's time to fly."

So the next morning I see the newspaper fully covered with the colours of Indian flag reminiscing the school days when the whole school used to make dandi march to the stadium to see the events. A whole gamut of topics from Reality stage which witnessed the racial slur to the flag to be hoisted the president was mentioned. The nationwide media blitz -- India Poised -- would have us believe that we are now looking at a resurgent India like recent acquisitions over the companies, an economic and military powerhouse striding firmly towards its rightful place in the world. But there are many who disagree .Global corporations cite corruption, red tape, high inflation, poor laws and an infirm infrastructure as reasons for their not wishing to invest in India.

I have always believed in annotating any article I write with my conclusion. So my conclusion is “There is still a giant gap which makes India hard to take a leap on other side and sing in chorus with other countries”.So believing in statements likes “what ever affects India ,affects us “we should become liable for every step that we take in positioning our country. So In the process let us pray that Never shall a innocent blood be shed, yet the wicked man’s blood be flown like a river but not to be mistaken Violence as a way of life .

Slackware Linux-The CIA (Cute Intelligent Angel) of my Comp is waiting for an Updation .....................!

This article is merely about the way I got introduced to Linux And then particularly to Slackware distro

It was one fine evening When all my friends including me were involved in gamut of endless talks .Suddenly out of some where someone screamed O S which every one took it granted for Operating System ‘s but the person who said actually meant Open Source .To talk about it I knew nothing expect about the those two words used in literal terms in single phrase .The next reminder that got queued on my cell phone was to google those terms and find out the exact meaning .But I have been using wiki for quite few days and also find it more comfortable than google .Over there this so called five letter world LINUX was used hand in hand to describe the meaning of OS (Open Source) as in my friends terms ,Clicking on that term into a new tab as I use Firefox not IE (Even though IE has come up with the tabbed browsing but I still prefer Mozilla product Don ask me y ? u better experience it by yourself ).

Going through those wiki pages got to know little about it and the people behind them who made it happen.

So finally it was time to try something new on my comp which was fully filled with some shit old engilsh songs and also some of kinda all south religion songs except Malayalam if am correct .So deleted most of them to restrict Windows and its really thick fat partitions to 70 GB and left the 10 GB for Linux .

So went Looking for Linux from room to room as I was staying in Hostel which really defines the meaning bec most of them had it and I was surprised to hear one of them say which one u want ?It was some thing like we get to choose some flavour options in desserts .Since I was little familiar with Window releases over a period of time ,I thought may be same case with this one too. I was frank enough to tell them that I was open to suggestions to suggest the correct one for me .

After a hard discussion then I heard them saying something really funny called Red Hat which made me wonder what kind of title cud that be But I know these geeks come up with some stupid name which makes it too hard for a common man to swallow them.

Then and there the real Red hat was in my hand with its mascot on the CD cover .To be honest wasn’t much impressed with the Red Hat linux’s hence was least bothered to know about its functionality . After going through several websites gotta know that “ slackware is perfect for me………..! “
