Positivity

Every thought we think defines our future and the future of the world.  What we think we tend to speak it without realizing the influence that it may have on the other person. If someone offends us we try to offend them back, because we feel satisfied and happy.  But is this right?  Instead isn't it better to make them realise the mistake so that they don't behave the same way with others.  While most people agree that to you have to fight fire with fire, but is this always necessary? You can always use water.  Now the main question what is water,  I would say water is being positive.  All of us tend to be positive when we are strong when we are happy but when we are weak and hurt the positivity is gone.  The truth is, that is when we need our positivity the most.  Positive thoughts give rise to positive feelings which give rise to a positive future.

Positive thinking defined in Gandhiji's language is when someone slaps you on one cheek show them the other.  The result of it is not known but in our mind there is a positive thought. And it is said that a positive mind will be happy even in the worst situations.  He is one who can find an angel even inside a devil. And when you succeed in doing so you will be the happiest person alive.

This isn't an attempt to change the people around me but it is an attempt to influence or make the people think.  When you say something negative do realize that the people around you are also in the same negative mindset. When you can convey something positively then why use the wrong method. And yes we can't stop others from thinking negative but we sure can stop from negative thoughts being spread. Ask your inner self the truth because nothing good can ever be achieved by something negative.

Everyone comments on movies where Hinduism is targeted, protecting it and blaming another religion.  Why do u even have to think this way? Instead take the positive from these movies. If there isn't any positivity then let it go. Why the discussion?  I never understand why the things that are truly supposed to be appreciated are neglected and the things which have no reason or point of being discussed are hyped.

I have realized the power of positivity in my life.  And that is why I am able to say that the power of positivity is truly mesmerizing. I don't wish to change the world but I do wish to make people think and maybe affect a few people around me.  A person who is negative will find negativity on every single aspect even in the most purest thing existing called life.  On the other, a positive person will understand and find the tiniest bit positivity even in something as evil as war.  And it is left to you, to choose on which half we wish to belong to?

An Angel

Life is filled with unexpected twists. Some of them extremely difficult for us to digest. During these unfavorable situations our confidence, patience and self preservation are tampered. It is during these times that our mind is pessimistic. Even the smallest of worries cause great depression to the mind.

When I go through the dark phases of my life, everything around me made me diffident. It was like being caught in a well which went deeper and deeper. A time where even the closest of people hindered my trust. My spirits were low and circumstances exacerbated. When we isolate ourselves from the outside world and feel that no on will understand what we feel. That was when there came an angel. I would use the word angel because it was truly like he had been sent for me to guide me out. No matter what the situation I always have this angel wrenching me out of troubles and problems. When I held onto this angel that one positive sign overthrew all my negatives. It was my small little ray of hope. This small light grew to such an extent that there was brightness around me. Like it is said one sign of good is enough to take over all bad.

It is during these times that I realized that when we have to face darkness, we are not abandoned. Each one of us have an angel with us too. We are so involved in our lives and focus on the negativity that we tend to overlook that person who is willing to help us. When realization hits us, life becomes better. Communication is the key and finding that person who would listen to us is even more important.

And now what I do believe is that in future no matter how horrid things get I will always have an angel there for me. Each and every one of us also has an angel ready for us during our dark times. It can be anyone our parents, a friend and sometimes a stranger. Fight those dark times because " If winter comes, can spring be far behind? ".

Green Computing

In current times, there is technological developement taking place every minute across the world. This evolution of technology leads to our betterment and makes our life on this earth easy.  In this phase of evolution and developement, we are harming the environment. The major problem arises when old computers are being dumped without proper disposals procedures. Large amounts of electricity and heat is being consumed by various devices. The level of green house gases is going up. It is our responsibility to protect the environment. In order to do so and develop technology at the same time, the concept of green computing comes into existence.

Green computing is all about disposing computers and other parts like monitors, printers efficiently so that the environment is not affected. Like all other green activities, this promotes recyclability and biodegradability. Energy Star is an initiative started by the government. Companies like Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, HP have started a project called Green Grid, to improve the resource efficiency of data centres. One other such project started by an industry is Climate Savers Computing Initiative which was started by various manufacturers to reduce the electric power consumption in PCs.

There are several approaches for green computing. One significant approach is to extend the life span of various equipments. Construction of data centres should consider environmental conditions. Softwares consume computer resources. Hence writing efficient algorithms and programs  reduce the amount of computer resources required for any given computing function. For example Algorithm changes, such as switching from a slow search algorithm to a fast search algorithm can reduce resource usage for a given task from substantial to close to zero. With concept of virtualization, a system administrator could combine several physical systems into virtual machines on one single, powerful system, thereby unplugging the original hardware and reducing power and cooling consumption.

Recycling of computers should be done. Old computers can be re-used by charity organizations. Computing supplies, such as cartridges, papers and batteries should be recycled. Teleconferencing and telepresence technologies are often implemented in green computing initiatives. The main advantage is reducing of emission of green house gases, consumption of light and heat. There are degree and post graduate programs which educate students on how to build and maintain the systems in a  environment friendly manner.

All round the world there are many ideas which are implemented in this direction. We need to do our part for protecting the environment by applying as many methods as possible. Being an inventor we should make sure that our creation doesnt harm our earth. We need to spread awareness about Green Computing for a better, healthy living and greener earth.

Mind Reading Computer

This technology is as fascinating as the name sounds. A mind reading computer is a computer that implements computational model of mind reading to infer mental states of people from their facial signals. It is a form of telepathy between a human brain and a computer.  A computer like this promises a future where all the technology around us adjusts according to our mood swings.

  To develop a computer like this we need to have knowledge about body gestures, body posture and the relation between the head and the facial expressions. By analyzing movement, shape and color we can predict facial expressions like a smile or eyebrows being raised. With this basic knowledge, the system requirements are Windows with a 32MB RAM or Apple Power Mac running OS 9.2 with 16MB RAM, 16 bit color display, sound card, speakers and a CD-ROM drive.

  Mind reading computer actually involves measuring the volume and oxygen level of blood around the subject’s brain using a technology called functional near-infrared spectroscopy. The user wears a futuristic headband that sends light in that spectrum into the tissues of the head where it is absorbed by active, blood filled tissues. The headband then identifies how much light was not absorbed, informing the computer gauge the metabolic demands that the brain is making. In this way we can interpret thoughts of any human being and we can travel through their minds.

  A computer like this can create miracles and the scope of this technology is vast. Now, we cannot communicate to a person in coma but in the future we will be able to. We can create a wheelchair that is solely controlled by the mind, not only this, it can help space walking astronauts.

 With a technology like this we would have a future where communication knows no boundaries. A world where even our thoughts are not safe and hidden.

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is not about our happiness
Its about ur happiness
Its not about explainig
Its about understanding
Friendship is all about being together
When all the doors seemed to be closed
Sharing emotions and feelings
Not to solve a problem but
For the feeling "I AM THERE"
Its to say somethng without
The feeling the that i am hurting u
Friendship must be as deep as a ocean
And as far as a horizon
True friendship gives u
Happiness nd memories that
You vl treasure throughout ur lyf
With friends life seems to have a meaning
Not valueing friendship is like
The sunflower turning away from the sun
The indian farmer not wanting rain
Life without friends is dreadfull

PROMISES

Promises u made i can't forget
Promises that hav brought us together
When you promised me you wud love me
It was the promise that changed my life forever
You promised me you'll be with me
You promised you'll never leave my side
You promised to be my support forever
You promised to share every bit of life
You promised to be my dream come true
You promised to hold my hand forever
You promised you'll never let anyone cum between us
You promised any fight wouldnt last long
You promised our hearts would beat the same rythm
You promised we wud never have secrets between us
You promised to fulfil all the promises you made
Now i am here waiting for u to do so

LOVELY FRIENDS





Friends add color to your life,


Friends become a part of your life,


Friends share joy's and happiness's of life


Friends play a vital role in life







True friends are rare to find,

They are more precious then gemstones,

We spend most of our time gossiping

And talking to them on phones






Dont lose these wonderful friends

Once lost they are hard to find

Value them and give them importance


So that you spend most of the time enjoying life with them
