Sometimes...

Sometimes,being around somebody for even half a day, can change the way you look at things..brings back the energy, focus, determination and character in you..Echoes of Prof. V. S Ramachandran's words at my convocation address - "Take pride in your country and it's institutions and be in the company of the passionate and enthusiastic, as passion is contagious..."

Thanks..I think,I needed that...Big-time !

PS : Managed to lay my hands on his best-selling "Phantoms in the brain",while in bombay..recommended read..in the efforts to understand the human brain,his efforts and methods are indeed different !

Have you ever wondered that..

When a guy has a nick with a number involved,it's usually the birth year...
and when a girl has a nick with a number involved,it's usually the birth date..

To test out a theory , I just tried to signup for a new login at yahoo! and...
when you try to sign up and the login is already taken,
if you are a male, you will be prompted with a XYZ78 (birthyear) as one amongst the choices...
and if you are female, you will be prompted with a XYZ06 ( birthdate) as one amongst the choices !

WOWWW !! Now thats what i call use of gender psycho. in biz/tech !
:)

My question tho is...who's it that decides/controls ??
Is it the user who just wants to complete the signup process asap and is now stuck with this nick..for life !
or the mail service provider..who is fashioning an entire generation with similar nicks !

No title..just Baz Luhrmann and the funda song..some kewl-dood in office has it on his ipod and i got to hear it once.."cant transfer it tho",is what he says..some techie mumbo-jumbo..."princess sophia to you", is what i say to that..

All i care about are the lyrics anyway..

More research done on this on Google Answers..the great thing about google answers is
"a browse a day keeps a question away !"
