3Day Organizer Personal v2.0 - 19621 KB<br />
3Day Organizer is a simple yet powerful personal information manager (PIM)<br />
for personal or business use. It has promising features that you are unable<br />
to find in other information managers today. Like other products, it's using<br />
an outline tree to organize the information, an RTF editor to write notes;<br />
unlike other products, it associates a powerful attachment list with a note,<br />
associates a note with a list entry, and associates a note or a user-defined<br />
list with an outline node. This unique data structure brings an unbelievable<br />
flexibility to organize all kinds of information for your personal use or<br />
business use. 3Day Organizer is developed in Java 1.4.2.<br />
Examples of using 3Day Organizer are:<br />
- Personal use: Contact/address book, E-receipts repository, Web login<br />
database, Payment due tracking, Homework (if you are a student!), Travel log<br />
(frequent flyer, trip prep.), Knowledge base (with many possibilities!),<br />
Diary (then you need business version!), Your own e-book!, Photo album.<br />
- Business use: Task list, Bug database (no check in/out now), Client<br />
support issues (we use this a lot!), Bill repository (for your tax return!),<br />
Meeting notes, Technical tips/articles, Inventory list (computers, office<br />
supplies), Customer report, Work diary<br />
- Unique information structure. List, note and attachment are well combined<br />
to create a flexible structure. If you start to use, you will be<br />
surprised.:-) We are proud of the list and attachment features, and will<br />
keep improving the note.<br />
- Java language. Most (if not all) PIM are developed in C/C++ for Windows<br />
native support. We chose Java as the language for at least two benefits: 1)<br />
built-in international language support. 2) cross-platform support.<br />
The personal version contains almost all features and is free for personal<br />
use<br />
********* HUNGARIAN | MAGYAR **********<br />
A 3Day Organizer egy egyszerű, de erőteljes személyes információkezelő<br />
(PIM), mely magánhasználatra ingyenes. Az információkat faszerkezetbe<br />
szervezi és a beépített RTF szerkesztővel jegyzeteket készíthetünk. A<br />
program az alábbiakra használható:<br />
- Személyes használatra: Címjegyzék, bevételek-kiadások adattára,<br />
felhasználónév és jelszó tároló, fizetési tervek, házi feladatok<br />
nyilvántartása, utazási napló, tudásbázis, fényképalbum stb.<br />
- Üzleti felhasználásra: Feladatlista, hiba adatbázis, ügyféltámogatási<br />
kérdések, tárgyalási feljegyzések, technikai tippek és cikkek, leltárak,<br />
munka napló.<br />
- Java nyelven íródott, így platformfüggetlen.<br />

3DCrafter v9.2.2 - 23562 KB<br />
3DCrafter is a real-time 3D modeling and animation tool that incorporates an<br />
intuitive drag-and-drop approach to 3D modeling.<br />
Complex models can be constructed from simple 3D primitives, or created<br />
using 3DCrafter's Shape Building Tools. Modeling tools are provided to<br />
deform, sculpt, and paint 3D shapes.<br />
Creating an animated scene is as simple as positioning the shapes within<br />
your scene for each point in time in your animation. 3DCrafter will ensure<br />
that the resulting animation runs smoothly. Your animation can be stepped<br />
through a frame at a time, viewed in real-time, or recorded to a Video (AVI)<br />
file so that you can distribute your creation.<br />
Tool roll-up groups allow you to customize the 3DCrafter interface so that<br />
only those items you use most frequently are visible. And if you need access<br />
to a less frequently used feature, the tool roll-up is always one click<br />
away.<br />
The standard version of 3DCrafter is a fully functional product provided as<br />
freeware.<br />
System Requirements: Microsoft Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP<br />
********* HUNGARIAN | MAGYAR **********<br />

The word “quantitative easing” more commonly known as “QE” made a grand entry into our lives along the media highway. We had the QE 1 and then the QE 2 by the Federal Reserve to revive the US economy.<br /><br />What is this QE all about? To understand let's look at a simple story.<br /><br />Let's say there was a prosperous village - Suskhsagar. Most of the villagers were into agriculture. Their lands were fertile and the farmers were happy. The village had good schools, shops, entertainment hubs, hospitals, municipality etc. Then one day, a pundit, who enjoyed the confidence of the villagers, visited the village. The villagers believe that the pundit was blessed with the knowledge of the future and could predict their future.<br /><br />One evening, the pundit called an urgent meeting for the villagers to tell them about their future. This kind of meeting had been a regular feature in the village and most people attended it because the pundit's prediction often was accurate.<br /><br />So while he addressed the villagers, the pundit dropped a bombshell. He told the villagers that the future appeared very dark. He expected that the villagers would soon lose their jobs and source of livelihood. Their incomes would vanish. Therefore, time had come for them to store all that they had so that they could overcome the bad times.<br /><br />The petrified villagers acted upon his instruction without any further delay. They began to save their money like there was no tomorrow. The villagers were in a state of shock. It appeared like the smiles had been erased from their faces. People stopped spending money and just focused on saving.<br /><br />They were in no mood to visit the entertainment hub. Nobody visited the market to buy anything. Markets wore a deserted look. Even people stopped visiting the hospital except for emergencies. The fear of losing their jobs and source of income was sucking out every aspect of happiness from their lives. The demand for all goods and services nosedived. The producers of goods felt the pain and reduced prices to get some hold of their lives. But the demand simply did not lift up. Clearly, negative sentiments had come to enshroud the entire village that led to a standstill of economic activity.<br /><br />One day, a government official passed through the village and wondered to himself how Sukhsagar village turned into Dukhsagar village. He talked to the village elders to understand. After listening to them, he made an attempt to dissuade their fears by informing them that there was no imminent danger of bad times befalling on them. But the villagers continued to embrace fear. After all they had more faith in the Pundit than the government official. The official had realized that the villagers themselves were making things bad. Seeing that his advice was falling on deaf ears, he invited another learned person to address the villagers. But all his efforts were in vain.<br /><br />Soon the villagers started suffering. Although they had money stocked up in their houses, it meant little. The producers of goods and services due to the demand slump had either closed shop or left the village. So now there was even a shortage of goods. This meant that even though there was no demand, the prices had stopped falling. So while everyone had money in their homes, there was no economic activity. Without economic activity the markets had dried up just like a car would get stalled without petrol. How does it make a difference to the car if there is petrol in the pump but not in the engine? Just as the engine of the car running dry and coming to a standstill, so did the markets in the village in the absence of money that did not reach the markets even though there was plenty in the homes of the villagers.<br /><br />There was only pain and misery left in the village. Although there was no external threat to their jobs but the peculiar behavior of the villagers to save money and stop buying goods and services was turning out to be the cause of job losses. So in a sense, the behavior of the villagers was making their nightmare come alive.<br /><br />The government official was afraid that the villagers would destroy themselves if they continued on this path. So he thought of an idea to release the village from this grip of negativity. He made an unprecedented announcement to jolt the villagers into action.<br /><br />The key parts of his announcement were:-<br /><br />1) Money would be made available to everybody at 0% interest<br /> <br />2) As much money that would be needed would be provided<br /> <br />3) The villagers could pay off their debts over time<br /> <br />4) The government would buy off all the debt that others owed them<br /><br /> <br />This announcement was manna from heaven for the villagers.<br /><br />The assurance of easy money made them realize that it was futile to hoard money in their homes. The announcement encouraged them to buy goods and services from the market. This led to an increase in the demand for goods and services. Soon, the producers of other goods and services who had fled from the village started to return in large numbers. The entertainment hub also sprung into action.<br /><br />The economic engine sputtered into action just as a car engine would when supply of fuel resumes.<br /><br />The sentiments of the villagers took a U turn from negativity to positivity and Dukhsagar once again turned into Sukhsagar.<br /><br />This process of releasing money into the hands of people to revive sentiment and getting people to actively participate in economic activity is what is popularly known as, “Quantitative Easing”. Quantitative easing literally means easing (or increasing) the supply of money in the economy. This is done by printing additional currency.<br /><br />The cheap money released becomes an incentive for the people to consume and invest. While consumption increases, the demand for goods and services infuses life to the production process, investment provides the credit to build manufacturing capacity for goods and services so that the rise in demand does not lead to high inflation. Thus changing sentiments is a self fulfilling prophecy that helps the economy to gain momentum and sustains itself. The moment sentiments change, people are inclined to hoard less and inject more money into the economy. The infused money acts as the lubricant for the economy to chug along smoothly.<br />

"The doctor was called one evening for an urgent surgery. He answered the call, changed his clothes, reached hospital in minutes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father waiting, in the hall for the doctor.<br /><br />On seeing him, the dad yelled: "Why did U take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?...<br /><br />"The doctor smiled & said: "I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & came as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"<br /><br />"Calm down? What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??" said the father angrily. The doctor tiredly smiled again & replied: "I will say as in the Holy Bible - From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & pray for your son, we will do our best by God's grace"<br /><br />"Giving advice is so easy" retorted the father.<br /><br />The surgery took some hours after which the doctor came out smiling & said to the father, "Thank God, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running as he spoke saying "If you have any questions, ask the nurse!!"<br /><br />"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait a bit so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.<br /><br />The nurse answered, tears streaming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial.<br /><br />" Never judge anyone..... because U never know how their life is & what they're going through !!!<br /><br />Treat everyone with politeness – even those who are rude to you – not because they are nice… but because you are nice</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

One of the most basic premises of investing is that your money multiplies manifold over time and this multiplication of money is normally referred to as the "Power of Compounding". The compounding effect of investing your money is perhaps one of the most important aspects to achieving long-term wealth. For it to work, you must be a long-term investor with lots of patience.<br />
<br />
When you invest money, it earns interest (or returns). If you keep the interest invested, then it does not sit idle while only the original investment sweats it out. The interest earns interest too and then the interest on the interest earns interest again.<br />
<br />
This is the beauty of compounding. That is what made great men like Warren Buffet extol the virtues of "compounding".<br />
<br />
What does the power of compounding mean to an investor? Let us understand this with the help of an example. Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C are three friends with same background and age:<br />
<br />
On his tenth birthday, Ms A's father gave him Rs100. He wisely invested the money that earned him an interest of 15% every year.<br />
<br />
Mr. B won Rs200 as prize money when he was 16 years old. His friend, Mr. A, advised him to invest his prize similarly. When Mr. C earned his first salary at the age of 21, he salted away Rs400 in the same instrument as Mr. A's.<br />
<br />
After reaching the age of 60, all three decided to withdraw their investments. Who do you think realized the most from his investment?<br />
<br />
You will tend to think its Mr. C, right? After all, he invested four times the sum that Mr. A had invested. So what if he had invested the money ten years later? He did earn interest for 40 years after that. But think again. Mr. A made the most out of his investment, in fact, his Rs100 was worth Rs108,366. On the other hand, Mr. C Rs400 was worth only Rs93,169.<br />
<br />
It simply means that the longer you stay invested the more money you will make.<br />
<br />
Now you know why Mr. A made more money than Mr. B and Mr. C.<br />
<br />
Let us try another one more example to understand the impact of interest rates.<br />
<br />
Let us assume Mr. A, Mr. B and Mr. C invested Rs100 for ten years. However, all three of them earn interest at different rates. Mr. A earns 20% while Mr. B earns 15% and Mr. C manages a 10% interest rate.<br />
<br />
What each one of them will have ten years hence?<br />
<br />
Mr. A will have Rs619 while Mr. B will have Rs405. while Mr. C will have the least Rs259 in ten years. Have you noticed something though? While the interest rates differ by just 5%, in ten years the worth of the original capital, Rs100 would be vastly different.<br />
<br />
That is another way of understanding the power of compounding or the power to grow exponentially.<br />
<br />
There is one more interesting rule associated with compounding: The rule of 72.<br />
<br />
The rule of 72 is an easy way to find out in how many years your money will double at a given interest rate. It is very simple, divide the number in the title by the interest percentage per period to get the approximate number of periods needed for doubling.<br />
<br />
Suppose the interest rate is 15%, then your money will double in 72/15= 4.8 years. In case, the interest rate is 20%, then the money will double in 3.6 years.<br />
<br />
Thus the moral of the story is the longer you stay invested the more money you will make.<br />
<br />
The power of compounding when applied to the stock market can make you rich many times over and sooner than you can imagine. That is because historically, the stock market is known to give the highest return per annum over long term compared with the other investment instruments.<br />
<br />
So, if you don't have an exposure to the stock market yet, start right now as according to the power of compounding, the longer you stay invested the more money you will make. (Source: Kotak Securities newsletter)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Catalyst of change<br /><br />STEPS founder Sharifa Khanam on how to emancipate women<br /><br />As a fatherless girl, Sharifa Khanam often likened herself to Cinderella, while she sat cooking by the fire. One of ten children born in a Muslim family, the dreamy-eyed maiden from Pudukkottai yearned for her own space and believed a fairy godmother would answer her prayers someday.<br /><br />Fast forward three decades or so, and Sharifa Khanam finds herself at the helm of a silent social movement rewriting the destinies of thousands of Muslim women in Tamil Nadu seeking freedom from polygamy, domestic violence, dowry harassment and molestation. Like many modern Cinderellas, Sharifa discovered she could wait forever for her fairy godmother, or she could rescue herself. Though she dumped her illusions, it is clear she kept her dreams, for STEPS, the organization Sharifa founded, was essentially born of a feverish imagination.<br /><br />“As a little girl, I believed I could conjure something out of the space between my fingers; I hoped I could create something out of nothing,” she says. Her biggest dream, ten years in the making, is to build the world's first women's mosque.<br /><br />As we mount the narrow flight of stairs to a humble office bursting with petitions, it sinks in that STEPS is a stairway to emancipation for many women.<br /><br />“Each petition is the story of an embattled woman,” says Sharifa, who established the organisation in 1991, inspired by testimonies at the all-India women's conference in Patna that she attended as a translator.<br /><br />Though STEPS now works chiefly for the uplift of Muslim women, the organisation has in the past addressed landlessness of Dalits, protested eviction of cucumber vendors, provided asylum for women victims in the Premananda case and conducted gender sensitisation sessions for police. Sharifa believes that Muslim women face double discrimination. “Islam accords great respect to women but men who interpret the tenets use religion to make women subservient. For instance there is no practice of dowry in Islam, but dowry harassment is rampant in the community.”<br /><br />The quest for a space of their own culminated in the formation of the Tamil Nadu Muslim Women's Jammat. A jammat is a committee attached to a mosque comprising elders who arbitrate on community disputes including divorce, dowry and domestic issues. Conventional jammats had no women representatives.<br /><br />“How can a jammat be fair when the voices and rights of half the community are denied by excluding women? What do fathers and brothers speaking for a woman know of her opinions and feelings?” demands Sharifa. Police generally comply with the jammat's verdict, and politicians do not intervene for fear of losing the vote of Muslim men.<br /><br />Though the women's jammat today has 25,000 members with 10,000 registered members in Southern and Central Tamil Nadu, Sharifa is keen on expanding the reach of STEPS. An award of Rs.10 lakh by Edel Give Social Innovation Honours instiuted by Edelweiss was invested in a minivan that would be used to respond to requests for help from women anywhere in the state. The women's jammat has set a precedent by issuing ‘talaq', albeit on substantial grounds, she adds.<br /><br />“We always hear both sides, or how will we be different from other jammats?” retorts Sharifa, noting that women who attend jammat meetings are a less inhibited lot. She takes pride that the organisation she founded has grown ahead of her.<br /><br />Citing an instance when members did not budge from Cuddalore until a favourable settlement was worked out for an aggrieved woman who was cheated out of her wealth by her in-laws, Sharifa says women no longer need her to spur them to take up the cudgels.<br /><br />The first ever recipient of the Dr. Durgabhai Deshmukh national award instituted by the Central Social Welfare Board, New Delhi, Sharifa has always believed the road to empowerment is paved with economic independence. The jammat banks have produced around 1,000 women entrepreneurs by linking them with private financiers to set up tea shops, masala powder units or sari sales. “Poverty is the biggest concern and must be addressed before any gender-specific issue,” notes Sharifa.<br />White dream<br /><br />Sharifa's wish list includes women's representation in the Waqf board, implementation of recommendations of Justice Sachar committee and constitution of a Muslim Women's Board for Empowerment without religious intervention.<br /><br />Her personal goal is to launch a centre where women activists would be accommodated with all comforts when they are old or incapacitated. “The centre would be in recognition of their work, so that they feel they have not toiled in vain,” she says.<br /><br />Sharifa's long-harboured dream is the completion of a separate women's mosque. She conceived the idea in 2003, as a jammat which is traditionally attached to a mosque. The idea then attracted publicity, but did not translate into resources. For want of funds, her white dream has nothing but a foundation.<br /><br />“Today the project would require around 50 lakhs for completion. With all the pledges and promises, the mosque should have been completed. Resources have not increased, but my responsibilities have accrued."<br /><br />Sharifa visualises the mosque as a community centre for women where women would pray, think, learn, bond and laugh.<br /><br />"Give a woman her own space, and you'll witness a change,” she asserts. Our chat winds up in her own space, an airy red brick room on the roof built to filter moonbeams. “Somehow,” she vows, “I will complete the mosque in my lifetime.”</div>

Inscape: Caterpillar as Zen Master<br /><br />The hope was that by paying total awareness to one square foot of earth, you're experiencing in the natural world what you do contemplatively when you give total awareness to the inner world -the "inscape." One woman came back and told a story of how she had sat with her square foot of earth which was full of grass and it took twenty minutes for her to quiet down to the point where she noticed a small caterpillar that she had in fact been looking at for twenty minutes. She remembered the instructions that if a question was coming up from your heart, to simply allow it to come and in fact to direct it to the creature that you were sitting with.<br /><br />Out of her heart rose the question for the caterpillar: "will you teach me about metamorphosis?". The caterpillar responded rather like a tough old Zen master: "Why should I teach you about metamorphosis?" She said,"because you will be going through complete metamorphosis and turn into a butterfly - who better to teach me about it?" He said, "you don't seem to understand - most of us don't make it to butterflies.<br /><br />Either we don't find the right food plants and die or we're eaten by predators.<br />There's no guarantee at all that I'll become a butterfly. On the other hand, you, as a human being, experience metamorphosis all the time. If you want to know about metamorphosis, study yourself."<br /><br />Looking at our own experience as humans on the Earth in the last, say, fifty years, we've gone from being a species with generally localized impact to a species that has very significant global impacts. We've become the dominant species, we control much of the biomass of the Earth, and are beginning to change the climate, the atmosphere, and so on in a significant way. But we haven't had a shift in consciousness consonant with our shift in status as a dominant species. My sense of how to bring about that shift is a simple and humble one - if enough people are willing to experiment and experience a shift in consciousness, then Earth itself, Gaia itself, ... can push on our consciousness, accelerate the process and a global shift in consciousness becomes imaginable..<br /><br />This excerpt is from the interview of James Thornton, author and an eco-activist turned ecopsychologist. He devised a psychological technique of inscape– exploring the inner ecology.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Pooja, Sathya Prakash, Sai Charan and the affable Santhosh were the final contenders for the Super Singer 2011 title. The grand finale as expected drew big crowds at the venue and Star Vijay made arrangements for the live telecast of the program.<br />
<br />
The winner as expected was selected by popular vote and as I thought, Sai Charan who has been passionate about the title has won.<br />
<br />
The surprise however was however in the runners-up result. Unbelievably, even for himself, Santhosh won the second place, surprise surprise Sathya Prakash was below Santhosh and the only girl in the finale Pooja, was pushed to the last spot which, atleast on stage, she took it gracefully.<br />
<br />
G V Prakash, seemed disappointed that his favourite Sathya Prakash didn't get popular vote. He showed displeasure subtly on the stage.<br />

This fall has led to Reliance making a pro-rata cut in supplies of all its customers.<br /><br />The power ministry said only 24.5 mmscmd of gas was supplied to power plants in February as against allocation of 33 mmscmd on firm as well as fall back basis.<br /><br />The short supply, it said, may be “construed as non compliance of the decision of the EGoM.”<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Anything can happen. Translated – you have no control over the market.<br /><br />2. You don’t need to know what’s going to happen next in order to make money. You don’t need to be psychic, or try to predict the market. This is not to say that you cannot predict what the market will do next and be correct, only that you don’t have to, and that by trying to predict you shackle yourself to ‘the need to be right’ and the associated ball and chain.<br /><br />3. Wins and losses are random – You will never know when a trade will be a winner in advance, only that the conditions that define your edge are present.<br /><br />4. Your edge is nothing more than a higher probability of one thing happening over another. Your edge is no guarantee of a winning trade, just of winning over time.<br /><br />5. Every moment in the market is unique. Just because a similar trade won last time does not mean it will this time, and by treating each trade as totally unique you can see the truth of the trade without relating it to ‘what happened last time’.<br /><br />These beauty in these theories is that they take the emphasis off any one trade, and turn your trading into a big picture endeavour.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Reacting is a business decision, predicting is an ego play.</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Traders want to make money. Losses in the long run don’t matter. Forecasters (prophets) want to be right (ego). And that’s all that they are concerned about.</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Don’t decide anything (ego), let the market do that job for you (business).</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Like any other business you have a business plan and the financial portion of that plan is the most important.</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>In this business your inventory is stocks, bonds, futures or options. Like any other business you define what an acceptable loss is on an item and what is an acceptable profit for the risk undertaken. Like any other business if the item of inventory doesn’t do what you expected it to do, you put it on sale and liquidate it to raise capital to purchase inventory that will do what you want it to do. Your acceptable loss is your stop. Your money management system tells you how much that is. Your mark up is dependent upon your trading system and trading style. It doesn’t make any difference if you are a day trader or an investor. Like any business, some turn their inventory 10 times a day, some 20 times a year and some only twice a year. Your trading style and inventory volatility will tell you what your turnover rate will be.</em></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Trading is a business and if you treat it as anything else you will be a loser.</em></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

In the olden days we only thought the Chinese and Taiwanese copied.<br /><br />But, these are post liberalization times in India. So, when we see something good happening outside of India, we either get that by import or copy in double quick time now.<br /><br />In the olden days, if something new got invented abroad, it would take years for us to get that in India. Even Hollywood movies used to get released with a few years' delay in Indian cinemas.<br /><br />But thing have changed, that is, post liberalization. A new computer virus released abroad is immediately in India now. (If it is election time, you can get these virus even more fast because there will be lack of security due to Home Ministry headed by PC will not be in a position to provide security for anything or anyone other than for gundas contesting elections).<br /><br />Thus, within about three or four months of the introduction, the fresh idea of showing protest by throwing a shoe during a PC (press conference) has hit the Indian shores. And we already have a shoe hurled at our PC during a PC which you can now monitor on your PC.<br /><br />You will notice from the video that unlike in the Bush episode when Bush got a pair, PC just got one shoe. You will also notice that the shoe was not actually hurled (like in the Iraq incident) but lobbed at PC. (<em>It was also lobbed so wide that even Steve Bucknor would have called it a wide; even if India was batting</em> - <a href="http://www.sathyamurthy.com/2009/02/03/nagesh-champion-of-comedy/" target="_blank">Comment of Chitralaya Sriram, famous playwright of superhit Tamil Comedy stage plays</a>)<br /><br />I was thinking of the reasons for the lob instead of a hurl:<br /><br />1. The Sikh might be actually a South Indian, specifically from Chennai and should have also played gully cricket; because, only in Chennai we play cricket bowling underarm deliveries (It also appeared that Mr. Chidambaram is not that good at Cricket as you see him ducking at something not even near him. That probably explains his IPL hate).<br /><br />2. The Sikh might have been coached by Greg Chappell to do a Trevor Chappell?<br /><br />3. PC was just "a shoe's throw away" from the journalist and so the journalist didn't want to waste his energy throwing.<br /><br />4. PC might have come to the PC wearing just one shoe and the journalist might have brought the second shoe to give to PC<br /><br />5. The Sikh might have noticed that PC was unsuited for the conference so he thought let him atleast be booted<br /><br />Was the Election Commission watching this incident? Better they did. This might well turn out to be a " Shoes for vote" scandal. Congress can embark on distributing free shoes to the voters in the guise of returning the hurled shoe back.<br /><br />The Central Government should order a probe into the incident and commission a commission and allow politicians and officials earn some commission in the process.<br /><br />When the Iraqi journalist threw the shoes at George Bush, Bush was smart enough to note the shoe size and quoted it in his post shoe conference.<br /><br />I do not know whether Mr. Chidambaram noticed the shoe size. He will not be upset, I think, if the shoe size was No.10 bought at Janpath.<br /><br />If it was the west, the brand of shoes would have become even more popular by now. I can already think of the slogan "The shoes we make, are the shoes you throw". Or a PC Company can advertise with the Sikh as the endorser "Our PC is always booted"<br /><br />Now, it is showtime of the shoe times - click the links to view them.<br /><br /><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/4369344.cms">The Shoe Throw</a><br /><br /><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/4369600.cms">The Eye Witness account</a><br /><br /><a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/videoshow/3839002.cms">The Bushoe video</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Before the admission of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh into Test cricket, New Zealand used to be the team considered the weakest amongst the world test teams.<br /><br />That despite having some great cricketers like Sir Richard Hadley, Glenn Turner, Martin Crowe, John Wright, Mark Greatbatch, <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Geoff Lawson</span> (thanks Loshan for pointing out the error), Jereme Coney (again thanks to Loshan for reminding this great's name) and Evan Chatfield in their ranks.<br /><br />Despite being considered as the weakest team amongst the test playing nations, New Zealand always fought hard. Especially in matches against Australia they gave their very best.<br /><br />I remember their 1981 ODI match in the World Series Cup against Australia in which to avoid a tie (not defeat) Greg Chappell stooped to the level of asking his youngest brother Trevor Chappell to bowl the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underarm_bowling_incident_of_1981" target="_blank">last delivery underarm</a>. Still it remained that they were lowly ranked as a test playing nation.<br /><br />Thus, it comes as a surprise to me that India has not won a test match in New Zealand in 33 years.<br /><br />The last win came in 1976 in Auckland. Going through the <a href="http://content.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63156.html" target="_blank">scorecard</a> at www.cricinfo.com I noticed some interesting similarities between the current match and the 1976 one.<br /><br />1. In both the matches New Zealand batted first<br /><br />2. In both matches India chased down a small score (less than 100) in the last innings.<br /><br />3. In both matches, in the Indian second innings, the opening batsman taking strike scored the majority of the runs for victory and remained not out. (Sunil Gavaskar with 35 in 1976 and Gautam Gambir with 30 in 2009)<br /><br />4. In both matches Little masters scored a century in the first innings. In 1976, it was Sunil Gavaskar with One hundred and Six-teen and in 2009, it was Sachin Tendulkar with one hundred and Six-ty.<br /><br />5. In both matches it was a off-spinner who bundled out the Kiwis. It was Erapally Prasanna with 8 for 76 in 1976 and Harbhajan with 6 for 63 in 2009.<br /><br />I noticed that it was one of those rare matches in which both the great off-spinners of India Prasanna and Venkat played and Bishen Bedi didn't. In that match the two off-spinners together took 12 wickets, with Prasanna taking 8 wickets in the second innings.<br /><br />As if it is a repeat of history, in the current win, Harbhajan Singh our off-spinner took 6 wickets.<br /><br />While in this win Sachin Tendulkar scored 160 in the first innings of this test , in the 1976 match, the original little master Sunil Gavaskar scored 116.<br /><br />The 1976 match was probably one of the few matches in which Sunil Gavaskar scored a hundred and <a href="http://www.sathyamurthy.com/2009/02/12/gundappa-viswanath-square-cuts-for-six-ty/" target="_blank">G R Viswanath </a>failed and still India won the match. :)<br /><br />This looked odd to me. Hence I wanted to do some number crunching to see the statistics of India - New Zealand matches in the past 33 years and compare the same with the matches played by India against other teams. The following interesting statistics emerged.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sathyamurthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tests-in-32-years.jpg"><img style="width: 429px; height: 199px;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1933" title="tests-in-32-years" src="http://www.sathyamurthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/tests-in-32-years.jpg" alt="tests-in-32-years" /></a><br /><br />Thus, while this win did come after many years, it is not that great history because we have not played often enough against NewZealand to day that we have not won often enough the said team. We seem to be playing more often against Australia and England or for that matter even Pakistan (with whom we have a off on touring relationship) than against New Zealand.<br /><br />In fact, amongst the test nations that are playing test cricket 32 years back the least we have played is against New Zealand.<br /><br />In the olden days atleast we used to make it a point to tour New Zealand whenever we toured Australia, combining the tour schedules. Now, since BCCI has become more monied and since travel is not that great a hassle, we seem to have deliberately ignored touring the Kiwis regularly. It might be because the BCCI thinks that a series against Australia, England or Pakistan gives more revenues than a tour to New Zealand.<br /><br />This thinking is also proved by the fact that we have not been playing many matches even against Sri Lanka which is nearer home - we have played just 29 tests in 26 years.<br /><br /><br /><div id="vu_ytplayer_vjVQa1PpcFPw6UexRlSjgn5JKP0b04rVEQWYSoGbmQI="><a href="http://www.youtube.com/browse">Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com</a></div><br /><script src="http://www.youtube.com/watch_custom_player?id=vjVQa1PpcFPw6UexRlSjgn5JKP0b04rVEQWYSoGbmQI=" type="text/javascript"></script><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

(யாருக்கு காண்ட்ராக்ட்? காண்ட்ராக்ட் மதிப்பு எவ்வளவு? எத்தனை நாட்களுக்குள் முடிக்க வேண்டும்? யார் யார் போட்டியிட்டனர்? எவ்வளவு நாட்களுக்கு ஒருமுறை காண்ட்ராக்டின் வளர்ச்சி பரிசிலனை செய்யப்படுகிறது? கால தாமதங்கள் உள்ளனவா? கால நீட்டம் கொடுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளதா? எத்தனை முறை?)<br /><br />சரி. விஷயத்திற்கு வருவோம்.<br /><br />வழக்கமான நடைபாதை கொந்தியிருப்பதால், நடையர்கள் அனைவரும் இப்போது கடற்கரை மணலையொட்டியுள்ள உள்சாலைக்கு மாறிவிட்டார்கள். மணலில் சக்தி வாய்ந்த மின்விளக்குகள் பொருத்தப்பட்டிருந்தாலும் காந்திசிலை அருகில் இருக்கும் ஓரிரண்டை தவிர வேறு எதுவும் எரியவில்லை. அதனால், நடப்பவர்கள் முழு மற்றும் அரை இருட்டில்தான் பெரும்பாலும் நடக்கிறார்கள்.<br /><br />இத்தனை தொந்தரவுகள் இருந்தபோதிலும், இன்னும் சூரியன் எழாத காலையில், அரை இருட்டில், சில்லென்ற கடற்காற்றில் நடை ஒரு சுகானுபவம். நெஞ்சுக்குள் சில்லென்ற இன்னும் அசுத்தமாகாத காற்று உள்புகும் போது நடையில் ஒரு துள்ளலும் வேகமும் (ஆங்கிலத்தில் "spring in the steps" என்று சொல்வார்கள்) வந்து நடந்துகொண்டே இருக்க ஆவல் கூடுகிறது. போனஸாக, நோகியா உபயத்தில், ரேடியோ மிர்ச்சி பண்பலையில் இருந்து என் காதில் இசைத் தேன்.<br /><br />எங்கள் நடையை விவேகானந்தா இல்லத்திலிருந்து துவங்கி, வடக்காக கண்ணகி சிலை வரை சென்று திரும்பி கலங்கரை விளக்கம் வரை நடத்தினோம். 35 நிமிடங்கள் பிடித்தன. 35 நிமிடங்களும் எனக்கு பிடித்தன.<br /><br />கலங்கரைவிளக்கத்திற்கு அருகில் இருந்து மீண்டும் திரும்பி மகாத்மா காந்தி சிலை அருகில் வந்து வசூல்ராஜா MBBSல் போல் உரக்கச் சிரிக்கும் குழுவுக்கு பக்கத்தில் சூடான, சுவையான வெஜிடபிள் சூப்பும், மணத்தக்காளி, வாழைத்தண்டு, பாகற்காய், நெல்லிக்காய் இவைகளின் ரசம் கலந்த ஒரு புது ரசத்தையும் பருகினோம். மூன்று பேருக்கும் சேர்த்து மொத்த செலவு ரூ. 100க்குள்தான் என்பது வெளிநாட்டிலெல்லாம் நினைத்துக்கூட பார்க்கமுடியாத ஒன்று.<br /><br />இந்த சுகத்தை தினமும் அனுபவிக்க மனம் தூண்டுவது தவிர்க்க முடியாத ஒன்று. அந்த சில நிமிடங்களில் என் மனதில் குவைத் கம்பெனிக்கு ராஜினாமா email தட்டச்சி, (அதுவரை பொறுத்திருந்த மூளை விழித்துக்கொண்டு, பொறுப்புகளை நினைவுறுத்த) ”send button" அமுக்குமுன் "discard" அழுத்தினேன்.<br /><br />இந்த பதிவுக்காகவே ஏற்பட்டது போல் கடல் அருகில் வசந்த விழாவை ஒட்டி தீவிரவாததுக்கு எதிரான மணல் சிற்பம் ஒன்று ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டு இருந்தது. அதை வீடியோ பதிவினேன் (கீழ் காண்க)<br /><br /><object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/9XyZBX4RGj8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9XyZBX4RGj8&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></object><br /><br />உடல் ஆரோக்கியத்திற்காக நடப்பவர்களையும், சிரிப்பவர்களையும், (என் கை ஆட்டத்தினால்) வெறும் மணலையும் எடுத்த வீடியோ பதிவு கீழே.<br /><br /><object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XYKcGv1Vm3w&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XYKcGv1Vm3w&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
