Cycle of research

There is a topic about which you don't know any thing. Better. But then you know something of it. OK, no problem. Then you start learning more about it. There the cycle of a varying knowledge on the subject starts. Truths, half truths and manufactured truths start pouring in. We heard and read about Shakespeare in our childhood. A great playwriter, a great man indeed. Our curiousity to know and read more about him led us to come across the a newly revealed theory that as a result of research that whatever is the work recognized as from Shakespeare  was not his own, it was some one else and Thomas Balsingham was quoted to be the real writer in the background. Several such stories emerged. Now if the media version is to be relied upon, Shakespeare was not a male but female. They say it was Amelia Bassano Lanier in Elizabethan, London, who disguised herself as Shakespeare trying to get her works published (Reference -a news item in Times of India of date). The readers chronically interested in the playwright must be feeling confused and so am I. We felt alright knowing Shakespeare in a limited manner and these new theories are only spoiling our curiousity on him.

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The melody queen of her days, Noor Jahan was a heart throb of millions of people all over the world even after she migrated from India to Pakistan. Unforgettable a performance she always gave both as an actress and a singer continues ringing in the ears of the people. It was great Naushad who played a leading role in bringing her to lime light. She is no more ofcourse but her memories are unerasable from peoples mind.

Pleasures of using a smart browser

Trivials look maga when they give the users the pleasures on functionality. I have been using Windows Explorer 7 taking it to be the best one. I tried a few other browsers for some change of taste but had to ignore them as I found them too cumbersome on usage. My programmer installed Flock on my laptop and I had a test drive. Thrilled, I found it full of several features which not only looked like a novelty to me but abundantly equipped with elaborate features enabling use of several web sites at a time with various links which are particularly required while writing up a blog post. Every thing is available at one compacted place and one need not go for a large scale scrolling getter certain tables lost in the process. For bloggers, as I am one, this browser is fully compatible to their needs and requirements. I certainly feel like finally switching over to it.

Me and my laptop

Interaction with people and amongst the people is as old as the very creation of the world. Like many a new things coming to surface, thanks to technological developments, now the source interaction too is a most significant tool to interact which, although not live, is capable of doing more than that where you can relax your mind selecting any topic to converse on computer. Substantially going by your mood and choice you can click whatever phenomenon or object suits your current mental status. Infact I get upset the moment my laptop suffers from some handicap or the other with a major or even minor error in operation. Even otherwise in my stressful moments, my laptop works as a refresher restoring to me my normal form. I feel off when my laptop is down, I feel smart within myself when it is actively functional.

Social living

Man is a social animal, it is said. Why man alone, social living is equally the order in the case of animals or say all other beings on earth. Man is not an isolated case. Difference lies in what we can see and notice and what we see equally but don't take a notice. Elephants are the kind of animals who when separated from their family stop any intake of their food and even starve to death. There are the kinds of birds who do the same thing. The major difference between man and animal on this count is however that of degree. In the case of animals it is a most heartfelt need and urge of living together whereas in the case of men it diverts from natural love for each other to getting recognition from others. I remember having seen a drama in my childhood where a man goes to his king with the grievance that he, though knowledgeable enough to the extent that he was fully conversant with all the alphabetes in his language, he was not recognised as a learned person by any body. The king gave him a remedy suggesting that he should go wherever he is able to come across a large group of children telling them not to address him as a learned man. He did it. The children as per their normal tendency to do the negative of what is asked to them immediately reacted calling the man as ' learned master' and his joy knew no bounds realising that he was really the one who was recognized well by the people for his wisdom and learning. This applies to all as all need recognition and attention from the people they live with.

YouTube -a multi dimentional picturisation

YouTube deserves a best possible recognition in the field of photography world for a live display of things. Thanks to those who brought it to surface. Glance upon whatever object is there before you, capture it in the very shape and movement it is there.

The latest welcome feature being that it is now made available in India too, this bonanza is a great event for the people of this country.

Mobile users -a note of caution

Mobiles have since taken the society by storm and it looks like there is no life without mobiles. There are some chronic users who keep it close to their chest even when they go for sleep. You fix your gaze in any direction, some mobile user are the other is invariably there talking to some one with mobile clung to her/ his ears intensely engrossed in conversation. Mobile is most useful a communicational tool no doubt but there is limit, as it is in all cases, to this and those going beyond that are inviting trouble to themselves. One study on the subject says that rashes by the side of ears on the face are a common feature which ultimately culminate to baldness and loss of hearing capacity followed further by skin and ear infections. This is not something which can't be minimised reducing the talking time to a level the body system accepts. Business talks are a different matter but unfettered gossips can very well be restricted to reasonable limit to avoid various health hazards.
