Clothed in sorrow’s dark array, -
Days of absence, I am weary;
She I love is far away.”

“I love the dichotomy, the differences in men and women. I think it’s wonderful. It keeps things interesting. We can’t walk in each other’s shoes. We don’t know what it’s really like, but we certainly can make an effort to know each other a little bit better.”

“My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.”

Skyscrapers, Dubai
Photograph by Catalin Marin, Your Shot
Every year around the month of October, Dubai experiences heavy fog due to the still-high humidity and the falling temperatures. With all the new high-rise buildings (including the tallest in the world, Burj Khalifa) this provides a great photographic opportunity.

An intriguing 'another angle' to Anna campaign

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 09:55:30 -0400

We all, I hope, know that there is the other side of the coin, to every story. Especially if it is about something that is popular.

To every point of Team Anna which SEEMS genuine, here’s a totally opposite view about Team Anna & more importantly about how we may be forgetting on other issues. This article is by Arundhati Roy. Urge you to read it in it’s entirety. http://m.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/article2379704.ece/?page=all

In spite of this article & thoughts against Team Anna by many other distinguished people, I still support movement against corruption & Team Anna.

For you see, unless we make some noise people won’t hear. Like any transaction, only if we aim the sky we will reach the tree top. So all the things in the Jan Lokpal Bill may not be practical but the govt lokpal bill seems eye-wash.

Let’s hope with this campaign we reach an agreeable middle ground. For you see inspite of all this hue & cry, all the people supporting or not supporting this movement will not (and am definitive about this) want to pay full taxes. Be it direct or indirect. We will continue to buy & use things that are deemed pirated or sold by people who are by law illegal (that includes vegetable sellers on the road). For you see, we cannot afford to.

And so there can only be a middle ground & yet we need a movement like Anna Hazare to, at the least, stop things going from bad to worse.

So yeah Go Anna Hazare (thinking in mind let’s see how far this goes).

“

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya

Jab ghum ka saya lehraya

Jab aansoo palkon tak aya

Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya

Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

Duniya mein yunhi hota hai

Yeh jo gehre sannaate hain

Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain

Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa

Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa

Aankh teri bekaar hi namm hai

Har pal ek naya mausam hai

Kyun tu aise pal khota hai

Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai

picturesoftheday:

Spacewalking was nothing new by the time space shuttles began to soar. In March 1965, the Russian Alexei Leonov became the first person to take a “walk” in space in an exercise that nearly went wrong. Three months later, American Ed White followed his lead, but both were tied to their spacecraft.

It was left for two astronauts on the shuttle Challenger, Bruce McCandless and Robert Stewart, to try an untied version. With Robert Gibson taking photos from inside the shuttle with a Hasselblad, McCandless achieved this on February 7th 1984, becoming the first “human satellite” traveling at some 17,500 miles per hour.

He reached a distance of 320 feet, with the azure Earth 150 nautical miles below, but McCandless spent just a little more than an hour free-flying. Even today, spacesuits are awkward, unwieldy and uncomfortable; while spacewalks typically lasted no longer than three hours, the astronauts are often trapped in their suits for as long as 10 hours, and had to drink through straws.

Although McCandless’ photo inspired many sci-fi fantasies, his spacewalk would amount to nothing more than a stunt. After McCandless and Stewart, four other astronauts on later shuttles flew untethered, but after 1984, NASA stopped producing the nitrogen-powered jet pack (in that inelegant space jargon, known as Manned Maneuvering Unit). The shuttle’s robotic arm precluded the need for such daring spacewalks.

Today, a modified version of the jetpack is worn only as a emergency backup during spacewalks. It was smaller but by no ways capable of reaching the distances previously travelled.

And there in a way is a metaphor for the American space programme.

It’s a walk in the park err… Space!!!
