Few things to know while talking on mobile

Don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, Because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful.
Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.
Please don't talk while mobile is getting charged.
Don't talk with very less battery power.
Do not drink APPY FIZZ . It contains cancer causing agent-according to review by The Hindu.
Don't eat mentos before or after drinking coke or pepsi bcoz the person will die becoz it creates cyanide

Woman in your life

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
Because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this......

Please appreciate "HER"


Ps: Got it from other source and found it interesting so posted it over here.

Beware of some Innocent searches

Beware of some innocent searches and clicks that you click after searching. Those may contain malicious content (adware/spyware/rootkits) in those searches.

Two interesting things... (1) most of the rootkits are being installed by social engineering tricks and (2) we're seeing about this many "Innocent searches" turning up malicious sites every day, which is a big increase from what we used to see.

Romantic first line.. truth second line poerns ;)

These are entries to a competition asking for a rhyme with the most romantic first line but least romantic second line:

• Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss
  
  but I only slept with you, because I was pissed
  
  
  
  
• I thought that I could love no other
  
  Until, that is, I met your brother
  
  
  
  
• Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
  
  But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
  
  
  
  
• Of loving beauty you float with grace
  
  If only you could hide your face
  
  
  
  
• Kind, intelligent, loving and hot
  
  This describes everything you are not
  
  
  
  
• I want to feel your sweet embrace
  
  
  But don't take that paper bag off of your face
  
  
  
  
• I love your smile, your face, and your eyes
  
  Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
  
  
  
  
• My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife
  
  Marrying you screwed up my life
  
  
  
  
• I see your face when I am dreaming
  
  That's why I always wake up screaming
  
  
  
  
• My feelings for you no words can tell
  
  Except for maybe "go to hell"
  
  
  
  
• What inspired this amorous rhyme?
  
  Two parts vodka, one part lime!

Dangerous Love .. Ready to face Love Virus on Valentine's day

PandaLabs has detected two new worms, Nuwar.OL and Valentin.E, which use the topic of St Valentine’s Day to spread.



Nuwar.OL, reaches computers by email with subjects like “I Love You Soo Much”, “Inside My Heart” or ” You… In My Dreams”. The text of the email includes a link to a website that downloads the malicious code. The page is very simple and looks like a romantic greeting card, with a large pink heart.



Once it has infected a computer, the worm sends out a large amount of emails to the infected user’s contacts, in order to spread. This also creates a heavy load on networks and slows down the computer.



Valentin.E is very similar to this. Like the Nuwar worm, it spreads by email in messages with subjects like “Searching for true Love” or “True Love” and an attached file called “friends4u”. If the targeted user opens the file, a copy of the worm will be downloaded. The malicious code installs on the computer as a file with the .scr extension. If the user runs it, Valentin.E shows a new desktop background to trick them, while it makes several copies of itself on the computer.



Then, the worm sends out emails with copies of itself from the infected computer to spread and infect more users.



So be careful. If you think you've opened a malicious file disguised as a St. Valentin's greeting card, you should check your PC with NanoScan.

Orkut Statistics

This is being Posted by Ellen Spertus, Research Scientist and Torsten Nelson, Software Engineer

When orkut launched, we had no idea that scrapbooks would be the primary way members would interact. Billions of scraps later, we've learned that scraps are a huge hit, and have added ways to make them even more fun by enabling you to add videos, photos and HTML.

We've been wondering (and perhaps you have too): Which orkut users are scrappiest? In our recent sample, members from the island nation of Grenada had the highest scrap counts at an average of 1877 scraps. Of the biggest orkut nations, Pakistanis came in first, followed by Americans, Indians, and Brazilians. (All of these statistics are based on current scraps that have not been deleted by the recipients.)

Women receive just under half (48%) of all scraps. Women from the Cayman Islands receive the most, followed by those from the British Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, San Marino, and the Northern Mariana Islands. (What is it about those islanders?) Albanian women had the fewest scraps (81) -- still a pretty substantial number when you think about it.

On the male side, islanders still rule: men from Grenada averaged a whopping 2569 scraps each. Here's the full chart:

Country	Scraps received	Scraps received	Scraps received
(gender)		(women)	(men)
Grenada	1877	557	2569
Cayman Islands	861	1093	715
Pakistan	758	717	779
United States	423	249	578
India	345	443	301
Brazil	267	272	263

Who's sending these scraps? The scrappiest users hail from Pakistan, followed immediately by Madagascar and the Central African Republic. Among women, the most scraps come from Jamaica, then Madagascar, followed by the nation of St. Pierre and Miquelon. Among men, Pakistanis sent the most, then Qatar.

And what are people saying in scraps? Some messages occurred again and again. Out of a sample of 1,000,000 short scraps, the following were among the most common:

scrap	# of occurrences
hi	1131
oi [hi]	689
ok	298
parabens [congratulations]	273
.<	187
hello	18

Not only was the word "hi" common, it also appeared frequently followed by extra "i"s. For example, "hiiiiiiiii", "hiiiiiiiiiiiii", and "hiiiiiiiiiii" each occurred more than 90 times in our 1,000,000 scrap sample.

Until next time, our 46th most popular scrap: "bye"!

It was a meeting day yesterday

Full of meetings all over the day. Had three official meetings in company and two unofficial meetings. Too much right :D

Mistakes are pretty common in websites ;)

This is one of the incident happened in the match that was won by India at Perth.

Kal Ki Raath Pune Rasthe Ke Saath

It all happened Yesterday i.e. on 11th Jan 2008, I happened to roam around pune roads till 3 am in the night.
Details ;)


One of my friends (Santhosh) was going from Mumbai to Hyderabad, which comes to Pune at 1:20 am in the morning. I wanted to meet him to return back his lappy, so I had planned about what to do till that time and where to go. I have asked one of my other friends (Kushal..we call him as GOD ;) )whose home is pretty near to Railway Station, what can we do about that. He told me to come to his room and we can go together to meet our friend. This is the background of the story ;).


Now the story begings ;)
I went to meet Kushal at around 8pm in the night at his office. We then went to his room, there we have started playing Need for Speed. Around 10:00 pm I was feeling hungry so we want to go out. Here started our journey ;). We were thinking of options where to go for dinner at that odd time. We checked out Pizza Hut if it was open. As we are lucky it was open, so we went there and ate pizza reached back his room, as we still had time till 1:20 (the time I was supposed to go to RS).


Again we started doing Time pass watching movies. Around 12:50Am we have started our journey back on the Pune roads ;). We went to RS and met our friend and came out of RS. In the middle of the road we were thinking of roaming on the roads. My friend told that he has heard from one of his colleagues that Coffee Cafe Day of Pashan (a place in Pune) will be open till 3Am. My friend has actually once been mis-leaded by the same guy saying that CCD at other place will be open till 3am, he went there but couldn't see it open. So, we want to make adventure this time.
Here starts great experience. We actually forgot to see the map how to go to Pashan from Pune station. Kushal knows route till one place where it deviates to pashan, but he has never been once there. So we had to explore the roads. We went on searching the roads, first we entered some DRDO area where we are not able to see in line of sight any human being roaming, so we thought of moving further. Then we reached a place where there are two divertions so we choose one but that also happened to be remote place. So we came back again at the divertion place and we took the other way this time. There we have seen BEL and some more places where there are hardly people seen. So we thought that we have missed CCD somewhere.


Here comes the CCD ;)
We were moving on the same road for our surprise and luck, we happened to see really one CCD and which is open at around 2:00 am. Atlast we could find it. More twists here, CCD was actually crowded with people :O at 2:00 am. We managed to get seats and had coffee and came out. Here again there lies one problem we don't want to go back through the same road we came from, so we took the same way which we were moving towards CCD. We actually don't know the way to reach back my friends room. We are again in exploration of roads ;). We have seen many places where we never have been at night 2:30 am ;). We at last happened to see one place where we know. From there we reached safely back to home ;)
All together it is one the most thrilling experiences I had. Thanks to Santhosh and many many thanks to Kushal alias GOD. :D
