From the time I bought laptop, I was looking for wireless headphone/mic option. Since, bluetooth headset/headphones would serve two-way wireless communication between computer and with mobile phone. And also, with the buzz around IP telephony, bluetooth stereo headset might give me some mobility. Recently, I was stumbled on a deal from Kyocera (GSH300) Headset/Headphone for 30$. When 'buy.com'

"Hi, How you doing?" these are words I struggled hard all my life to say. Whenever someone visited our home, I would have a scheduled session followed by it from my parents. Because, I would not have uttered those comforting words to them. For the same reason, I restrained myself from attending phone calls to calling door. It was hard for me to greet someone whom I didn't know. Most of the time,

Lately, my reading had shrunk to zero. So, I forcefully made an attempt to read something. I went to my apartment library to grab some bytes to bite. I am not sure whether it can be called as a 'library'. It is just half a shelf collection of books. I placed my hand in dark corner of the shelf to reach out for 'Angels & Demons'. I had heard about the book through my friends after the 'Da Vinci

"Should I go for the CX310-090 exam?" was a long pending transaction waiting to be committed or rolled back. Finally, I committed and completed the certification successfully. The CX310-090 is for EJB 2.0 component developer. The part of my dilemma was due to the new exam in market for EJB 3.0. But, I decided to go with EJB 2.0. Since I had had some hands on it.The purpose of the blog is to

I still remember the day I watched Gentleman, standing in a long queue. From that day, I had watched all of Shankar's movies till 'Shivaji' in theatre. The one thing which has not changed yet. It is the long queue. Every time I go to his movie with a skeptical feeling of "Will he be able to live up to the expectation of his previous film?" "What new interesting things he would have in this movie?

In a group of six guys, what could be the possible topics of discussions ? Invariably, girls. But fortunately or weirdly we discussed something more hot. During most part of our smokies trip, we discussed about the issues with Israel and Palestine. The group was mixed by level of acquaintance on the subject. we had variety of personalities with - an extremely exposed person as far as the subject

When we see thrill sports like sky diving, skiing, bungee jump etc., we try to visualize our self and feel excited about it. But when it comes to real action, most of us would say, "It ain't that exciting to try ". The same thing happened with couple of members in our group when I proposed the idea of rafting. With great deal of time(?), we convinced them.We did whitewater rafting in Big Pigeon

Prologue: During college days, I was more passionate about two things - Programming and Computer Aided Design. When I was working with soft-wares like PRO-E,Auto-CAD etc, I searched for opportunities to use 3D modelling beyond bolt, carburetor designs. I found one interesting area where it can be used extensively - 'house planning'. I decided to build 3D model before in hand using tools whenever

Spider-Man is spinning his web all over the world. The movie is breaking records one after another. Even, the movie makers are going wild with the crazy figures. As a matter of fact, I was also caught in the web. Though I had not read any comics, I am a fan of spidey from young age. I used to collect egg shells and make spidey mask. But that is not the point.I like all of his celluloid adventures

Question 1: Once a friend of mine who used to visit my home(U.S) regularly asked me, "Whenever I come, I always see you in the kitchen cleaning or cutting vegetables? Do you really like cooking ?"Question 2: During my regular home call session, my mom suddenly asked, "What are you going to bring me from U.S?" As I always like to pull her, I replied "Whether I bring something or not, you are going

It’s about the plight of a nine-year-old boy named, Ali and his younger sister, Zahra. In the first Scene, the boy loses his sister's shoes through a mishap. And in the last scene, he wins a 4-kilometer running race. In between, the director has laid every scene like bricks one after another. Even for a minute the movie does not digress and everything revolves around the nucleus of the story, '

We have all been there. I could sense you nodding partially and, partially suspicious. But I am sure we have all been there. When we start searching for something but finally end up being somewhere. It happened to me when I ended up at 'How to Kiss' on Youtube. The feature was not to provoke your senses. But it presented good theoretical and practical approaches about it. Many say Kiss as 'Keep

All men and women are created equally. But, they cannot be treated equally in order to create equal opportunity. That is the basis for 'Reservation' system. Many argue that reservation system should be abolished. I would also say so, in an ideal world. In a country like India, which is so diverse economically and socially, requires reservation in every field right from schools, colleges,

Brain remembers and recollects things not just by storing entities, but also by adding various attributes like sound, colour, feature etc. to it. Like wise, the feel of going to gym starts when I first hear the distinct sounds- galloping beat from the treadmill, the 'ting' of the dropping weight, the continuous rumbling of motors. Even though the gym wouldn't be far from where I hear the sounds,

Did you fail to make a New Year resolution? Here, comes another opportunity. It is the 'Spring break’. Though, it is not fixed as calendar one but it is a sense of new beginning. It signifies new birth. It rejuvenates and animates all form of life. It frees us from shackles (those enjoyed winter ignore).Plants and trees get their new leaves fresh and green; they blossom with beautiful flowers.

Have you ever received a phone call or mail saying, "You have won money or Gift?" If so, how did you feel? Happy, that you were really lucky. Or, suspicion, that you were so gullible. A similar thing happened to me two weeks back. I am a kind of person who spends half the time researching how I earned and the remaining half in planning to spend. So, it was no wonder I felt both.The gift was worth

A seven year old kid who is going for chess class on Monday, swimming on Tuesday, dance on Wednesday, piano on Thursday, math on Friday, instructs her mother, "Please move my math on Monday right after chess, so I can get Friday free for tennis". The reason nothing but her friends are going more number of classes than her. As you know, more number of engineers are passing out every year in India,

Most of us want to go gym. But, only a few can make it. And, in that very few go regularly. As we know, before we work out our body, we need to work out our mind, which is very difficult. I also had had many futile attempts to go to Gym. But, the current streak is by far the best. I would attribute it to one small change in the execution. Normally, I pursue gym in the evening. But this time I

'Earth' a part of the infinite universe believed to be formed from just dust. In course of time, it has become man's primary and only inhabitance. Everyday we better living with our intuitive knowledge from nature itself. In return, we give nothing but- greenhouse gas, deforestation, pollution to our mother nature. It is not far off that we are going to reap what we sow. In spite of outcries for
