Innovative Idea to Fund Education
Guys I came across this article while surfing through the blog
this was posted on the http://youthcurry.blogspot.com/ by Rashmi Bansal
A Delhi College of Engineering grad (2005 batch) Ankur has some savings from a job as sr business analyst at evalueserve. And yes, he will apply for a scholarship. "Loan is not an option as I don't have collateral," he shrugs.
But Ankur has a 'plan'. He read an article which basically said,"You can earn millions from Adsense" and so he decided to put the theory into practice. Ankur has created a blog called http://milliondollarstory.blogspot.com. His plan is to write 1 short story, everyday, for 180 days.
Hope this guy is really able to achieve his objective and request everyone to visit his site

Long Hiatus - Blogging time again
It has been a very long hiatus for yours truely... Have been busy with a project at work and had been traveling which did not give me enough time to blog...
Lots of water has flown under the bridge since last written on this blog
My son has started his first year of school and thus steps into the real world
SRK has returned with a super box office hit CHAKDE.. reviews the memories of Indian Hockey Glorious days
RGV disappoints again with RGVKIAAG... don't understand why Bollywood is depending on old movies & making remixes like the music
Hyderabad undergoes a turmoil weekend...as the blasts rock the city
India have won the TEST series and lost the ONE-DAY series in England.
India go to Twenty20 WC without their 3 main players...and may be the beginning of a new era and end of an illustratious career of 3 big names in Indian Cricket.
And after lot of debates finally one hears of retirement of a genius from the world of cricket. Sachin has been playing his best cricket on the tour of England, but the body and age has been telling on him.
Lets wait and see if this year would see the end of a great career in world of sports

Lesson for all at Virgina Tech Campus - Tragedy
Many of young dreams have been shattered.... 32 young lives have been lost due to one stroke of madness..
Indian student community has suffered ...they have lost a teacher who was imparting knowledge to youngsters and one student who came across the seven seas to pursue her dreams ..but the dreams have been curtailed even before they could take any form..
Condolonces go out to the families of all those killed in this tragic incident... Being a parent myself makes one feel if our children are really safe in the schools and colleges..As a parent one would give his child advice on not falling prey to vices like drugs or alcohol, but who can advice them to be look-out on such incidents..
With heavy heart, wish the familes of the lost ones my heart-filled condolonces..

Thanksgiving Weekend - Holiday Season
Last weekend was the ThanksGiving Weekend and the curtain raiser for the holiday season to begin in the US.
This was also an opportunity to catch up with your families, take a break from the fast paced worklife.
Apart from relaxing, the most anticipated and eagerly awaited even is the "Black Friday" sales. The "Black Friday" is the day when most of the bigwigs of the retail industry put out 'blowout' sales for a short span of time. This also signals the beginning of the shopping season and would also indicate the health of the retail industry based on the way people would spend. To make the most of this sale, people queue up in front of the shops very early. Hats off to these people as they brave the weather to collect gifts for their loved ones.
Frankly, I do not have the strength to brave the weather/crowds to do such a shopping but feel more & safe in the sanity of online shopping.

Whirlwind week - Diwali, Don and Cricket
It has been a whirwind week with lots of things happening at a high speed...
To begin with, it was DIWALI weekend and wish all the viewers of this blog
A VERY HAPPY DIWALI and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
Diwali the 'festival of lights' this year was celebrated on 21 Oct all over the world. Diwali symbolizes the 'victory of good over evil'. People celebrate this festival with lots of fun n frolick where the houses are light up, kids burst crackers and lots of goodies to savour on. And this time round, had the pleasure of celebrating Diwali in US with my close ones by savoring on all goodies, dressed up to kill and playing 'teen patti'.
Every year Bollywood marks the Diwali calendar with release of major attractions to take advantage of the vaccation season. This year was no different, we had two releases 'DON - a SRK starrer' and 'Jane-man - a SK n AK starrer'.
I had the opportunity of catching "DON" on the first day, first night show (12:00am to 3:00am). And being a die-hard 'Big B' fan I was really disappointed with the remix. Not sure, why are the bollywood directors going into making remixes. Have we run out of creative script writers. And this movie comes from a director who stirred the box-office with his first movie - Dil Chattha Hai. Even small twists in the story cannot stop this movie from being termed as 'average'. The locations and sophistications are definetely in tune with the generation... nothing can overcome the storyline or the charishma of 1978 DON - who @ 6'2" still stands tall over everyone. "Badshah" of the industry has definetely lost this 'bazi' and would not like to be called 'Bazigar' for this matchup.
And coming back to my favorite sport - 'Cricket and Champions Trophy' things r really hotting up in the group B where the matches r really going to the wire. It all boils down to the match between Pakistan v/s South Africa to decide the last four placeholders in the tournamnet from group b. New Zealand with their win over Pakistan @ mohali have confirmed their place in Semi-Finals.
India play WI tonight (US- PST) @ Ahmedabad and this could decide the fate of the group A. With WI in good form, it looks to be seen how India face-off this challange. A win here for any of the teams would definetely harness their chances for a berth in Semis.
Everyone would be hoping 2 c a blazing innings from Virubhai....a magic spell from Pathan... a spin web from Bhajji...long overdue... But who knows we may have GAYLE force waiting to sweep thru Ahmedbad along with the 'New' Big Boy of WI the Bravo.
