Brainiesssss!!!

Thinking, Reasoning, Language, Numbers, Emotions, Love, Anger, Fear, Creativity, Intuition & the list goes on...These are part & parcel of our life. Some will have more & some will have less...But people are bound to have these in their life...Have you ever thought why these happen in our life. But I did think about these...As always...What? Why? Where? How? Finally here a post in my Blog :)

I hope you would have taken this test...But take this once more...LOOK at the below image & say the COLOUR, not the word.

I know it s very difficult to say the colours. Even I was not able to identify it, but irrespective of the colours, it was damn easy to say the words...Isn't it? But why is this & whats the phenomena behind this. I think everyone knows this is because of the commander in chief in body called "The BRAIN". He send the signals to each & every part of the body & the parts acts, reacts, responds & reciprocates the same. So he is the person to be dissected to know more about him...(Ahem!!! Not like the dissection of a frog or a cockroach which we did during our Zoology classes...This is just to know more about him, A general overview ;))

You have probably heard people saying, "He follows his heart rather than his head/ brain" But technically, we can't think with our heart. That's again signals sent from the brain :) But how? 

Brain is divided into two sides or Hemisphere, Right Brain & Left Brain. Each sides is responsible for different functions & roles. Left brain is more logical & right brain is more emotional...

Hold on!!! What about Weak-Hearted or Faint-hearted??? Heart has nothing to to with thinking, emotions, feelings, love, philosophy etc...Its all about the right brain & left brain combination. The only thing that the heart does is, it receives the signals from the brain & acts accordingly. 

In ancient times, people believed that Heart was the organ responsible for emotions & feelings because they saw changes in the heart beat based on their emotions, be it happy, angry, sad, sleepy. So the belief continued & people started saying he is weak hearted, Stone-hearted, heart-broken...:) Heart is just an organ like a lungs or liver in the body which does its own work of pumping the blood throughout the body.

After reading this post don't ask me are you a geek? Because i thought it was little insane to write a post out of the blue...But still "I AM AN ENGINEER" :)

Startups, Startups, Startups everywhere!!!

Well, this post is something which is very close to my heart :)

Over a decade, India had seen so many start ups being registered...especially in the last two years, the numbers were phenomenal across IT, ITES, Healthcare, Agriculture, BFSI etc. Yet only a few are able to sustain in a long run. Let's analyse the practical situation of a startup in terms of the innovation to make their firms or products a succussfull brands...

Most of the entrepreneurs start the business to make change, lead people, be their own boss, do something different, innovate...& the list goes on & on...But the fact is, majority of these people expect things to turn around automatically & become profitable within few months & become a successful Entrepreneurs. But the reality has something else for them in the platter...they start complaining & eventually QUIT.

If "Necessity is the mother of invention", I would say, "Obsession will be the father of innovation" :) Coz Great ideas start with completely unrealistic thoughts. Do u think Invention & Innovation are the same???
Ahem!!! Absolutely not...Invention is creating new ideas for products or process, whereas Innovation is all about practical application of new invention into a marketable products & services...

Recently I have read it one of the co-blogger post who is a serial entrepreneur...He had mentioned, "First two years of a start up are extremely demanding one you as a fonder of a start-up. You have to endure a lot of pain before you glimpses of some of the nice things. And there is always high probability of not making it at all. Its kind of being pregnant for 2 years while knowing that the probability of giving birth to a healthy child is just 10-15% People who go through this period of pregnancy and deliver successfully are the ones who enjoy the journey and the pain than the outcome"

Most of the startups fail miserably because of either one of three main reasons... Lack of innovation, lack of funds, lack of strong business plan.

Either the start-ups should target the untapped industry like Linkedin (Professional Networking) or Naukri.com (Job Portal in India) or Xerox (Which changed the name of photocopying) or start ups have to innovate something new within the existing industry to attract the customers (Facebook overtook Orkut when the latter was doing great in Social Networking Industry....Another best example, Apple/ Samsung overtaking Nokia which was the market leader in the mobile phones industry for more than 14 Years)...It's a sheer rat race where they have to innovate something that keep the customers motivated to buy your product & have high client/ customer satisfaction because for any enterprise, there will be clients & customers to sell the product...

I have spoken to couple people in the past who have the aspirations to become an entrepreneur & have strong business mind & approach but not willing to leave their high paying job. They somehow convinces themselves that the entrepreneurial venture will be a successful while doing their full time job, but have you ever heard  if there is anything called part-time entrepreneurship???

Still lot more to cover in this topic...esp the SEED FUNDING!!! Watch out this page for more actions on Entrepreneurship :)

Cheers!!!

The Rise of Machines - Crazy Mission - 2200 :)

Its been a year since I posted something in my blog...I'm Back ;)

Things were going fine as usual. Getting up late from bed, rushing up to get ready, stuck in traffic, working all day in front the computer, getting back home again in the heavy traffic, playing with my kid, going to sleep late...

Sometime back, I saw a television Ad. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08TRyjiB6f0) Nice Thoughts...Young people as decision makers, bill passed within few seconds & Shared in networking site, 2000+ Likes...One thing that we should think, is it about Technology, networking, Connectivty...Whatever you call it as...end of the day it's all about Evolution. A decade back, If someone wanted to express his/ her thoughts, only thing which was available was the Print Media esp. News Papers. The person had to send his writings to the Editors & they will review that & only if the material is worth (in their point of view) he will publish it in his newspaper, that too after a week or so. But now, we have blogspot, facebook, Wordpress, name anything on the internet :) Do u call that as evolution???

Do you remember the Tring Tring black telephones & the Trunk Calls that we use to make to talk to a distant relative??? Do u remember the Telegram which we send & receive??? When was the last time you visited the post office & bought an Inland letter & a 5 Rs Stamp??? When did u last switch off your Time Piece Alarm in the morning??? Do u call these as evolution???

Also so many hot & happening gadgets of the years are no more. Very Best examples: Kodak Film rolls, Floppy disks, VCR, VCD, Walkman, CDMan etc...Evolution & adaptability to change is indispensable in this world...Do u agree???

Lets see some interesting things about Eastman Kodak company which filed bankruptcy two months back which were not able to withstand the tremendous competition in the digital camera industry. Ironically, they were the pioneers in designing the digital cameras under the name "Apple QuickTake" which was launched in 1994 by Apple Computers. But the management thought they were into films industry which had very less competition those days & continued to enjoy the larger pie of the market share. If you see deep into it, they were in neither films industry nor digital camera industry, they were in the memories industry. People take photos in order to remember the occasions, so it could be in paper print, digital, anywhere. They again invested loads of money in research & developed new Digital cameras & rolled out model after model offering consumers top quality cameras at reasonable price that made it easy to share photos with friends & family members thro' their PCs

By 2005, thy became the number 1 in US in digital camera sales. One of their best products in digital cameras was the Printer dock, which Ghajini Surya/ Amir Khan used, where you get the photo printed as soon as you click the shutter. With more companies entering the market, by 2007 thy slipped to 4th place in the US sales & subsequently 7th place in 2010 behind Canon, Nikon, Sony etc. Cameras in cellphones, smart phones, tablets too became competitors for them & they filed bankruptcy on 19th Jan 2012. Finally they obtained $950 Million, 18 month credit Facility from Citigroup to continue its operations. So It's all about Evolution & forward thinking to grow an organization & taking it to the next level.

I think I ve gone deep into the digital camera industry & the decline to the Kodak company right?? Let's get out of that & let me explain what I exactly wanted to convey :) Again coming to the Networking, Connectivity etc...Everything is possible only when there is a Jinx word called - "The INTERNET" exists. Because last week at office, there was no internet connection & we didn't know what to do. Not able to browse google, facebook, no likes, no comments, no outlook...OOhh My God it was like Hell !!!

Felt like laughing!!! So many crazy thoughts were running in my mind about "Internet & It's Craziness".

Now on, it will be absolutely crazy, out of the world, but you never know this might happen in near future...That's why I have given the caption: Crazzy Mission 2200 :)

Here We gooo!!!!

INTERNET is gonna to be the next IN THING in the world where people gets connected with everyone be it government, colleagues, friends, family, restaurants, maids, mechanics, carpenters, anyone you name it, they will be connected "ONLY THROUGH ONLINE".

Currently, like all European countries have Euro...The whole world will have a single currency called - Woreo ;)) (Wah! What an idea sir jii)

Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, SAP Labs & other biggies will be declared as countries...& Actual countries like India, United States, Dubai, Japan etc will still remain as countries but can be acquired/ conquered by these declared countries based on the revenue, GDP, Inflation etc.

By 2200, IBM would have completed 300+ Years & become the worlds largest country & wouldhave acquired three-fourth of the Asian Countries, including India & China. Oracle would have acquired most of the middle east countries to become the richest country in the world. Microsoft will still pitch in to acquire Yahoo which would again be turned down for the 48th time. Facebook & Google would fight for patent issues over US & UK acquisitions respectively.

No more outlets for any Retail & CPG/ FMCG, Durables, - Food, Apparel, footwear, Beverages, etc Even Medicine. So no more shopping, no more window shopping, no shopping complex, no commercial malls, etc... Similarly no more Dine in restaurants with multi-cuisine foods. Everything will be listed in the Woreo Website :) All your Orders will be delivered like Pizza within 20 minutes :)

All your Brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, in-laws & other relatives will become friends or friends of friends...There will be only three kinds of relatonships, viz., First degree, second degree & third Degree :) Even phone calls will be done Online :) What Else is left???

In this scenario Interestingly, If someone is convicted in the court for rape or murder, the person will be denied "Internet access" for 10 Years :) So that he will not have any connectivity with anyone in the world. No food, no friends, no job, no entertainment. Ideally, no life...

For minor cases, your laptop/ home computers will be seized for a week or month...

For Drink & drive/ rash driving, your Facebook/ twitter account will be blocked for a month...

Crazy Right??? You never know this might happen in future...Whatever I hope I made you smile!!! Am I right??? But I enjoyed a lot writing this :) Sorry Typing this!!! Cheers!!!

Online Passwordssss!!!

Internet has become one of the most indispensable aspects of modern life...Similarly, the Internet Passwords (pw) too...

In my early days, when I was in school, there were only few passwords, be it the 3 digits password of the briefcase or Godrej Locks...It was very easy to remember. After the era of internet, social/ professional networking, Online transactions...puufff..how many passwords to remember...

Untill few years back, remembering the pw was at least easy as the minimum number of characters used to be five or six...But now a days, It has to be minimum eight characters...on top of that they should have a number, special character, both number & special characters should not be used in the beginning or end of the pw, the pw should not b the same as user id...Grrrr...am going mad...

Just thought how many passwords do I remember...here is the list...My office PC password, Outlook Password (Which needs to be changed once in 15 days), Internal IBM, Accenture portals, Naukri login, (Both as employer & job seeker), Monster Login (Only as job seeker) gmail, yahoo, facebook, linkedin, IRCTC, ICICI bank login pw, Transaction pw, Citi Bank Credit Card pw, ATM PIN Numbers, Redbus, KSRTC, makemytrip, bookmyshow, PVR...& the list goes on...

One good thing which I always like in the login page is "Forgot password" option. I don't remember how many times I would have clicked that option in the login page. It usually happens for the sites which I don't use much or when I come back from a long vacation or leave. Again there is something called Question & Answer to retrieve the password. Funniest part is that we have to select the question & key in the answer, which I usually forget.

Internet security companies should come up with some new technology where in there shouldn't be any passwords for the login but it should also be secure enough to access your own personal data without the fear of hackers.

Till that break through happens, we have to remember the passwords...atleast the important ones...else anyways we can always use 'Forgot Passwords' option :) But remember the security question & answer to retrieve the password...

So True

Yesterday I got a forward mail from one of my colleague...I thought it will be some usual forward. So I didn't open for sometime. But then I was really bored of working on the usual requirements...I opened the mail & the attachment. ahem...somewhere someone askd me are you sailing in the same boat??? If yes, please change your track...if not, continue???

But after thinking for a while I said NOOOOO..No Ways...I enjoy each & every moment of my life...huh!

Wat about you?

Will my wish come true???

Will my wish come true…

Just want a stress free day
With no job and all time to play
All needs fulfilled and wild imaginations come true
Like, A Merc and a house at the bay

Will my wish come true…

No one to report to and no one reporting to
A day full of nothingness & without any deadlines
No targets and nothing to catch up to...
All in all, lots of time; to while away...

But is this what I was wishing sometime back???

Will my wish come true…

A demanding desk with lots of perks
Fine suits and a place to sway
Something that makes me busy always
Never follow anyone…Create my own ways

Will my wish come true…

Lots & lots of people reporting to
Place that offers me work round the clock
Never let down my commitments & loyalty
All in all, never waste time; money too…

As & when the year changes…the wishes change…
So as the person who wishes…
May be coz change s the only permanent thing that exists in everyone’s life…

Who's Next???

I have been in this consulting industry for more than three years… Time & again I have been thinking about this for quite sometime… ‘The ONE company to watch out for in IT industry…Is it Google??? Yahoo??? Microsoft??? Computer Associates??? Symantec???

Ahem…now its “THE TWO” companies to look out for...Its IBM & Oracle!!!

coz I got a shock when I read Oracle bought Sun Micro for $7.4 Billion while IBM had quoted $6.85 billion

Something tickled me to do some research on these companies’ M&A Strategies…did some research...n was amazed to see the results...Here we go...

IBM (International Business Machine)

IBM's history dates back decades before the development of electronic computers. It originated as the Tabulating Machine Company in 1896.
Computing Tabulating Recording (CTR) Corporation was formed through a merger of four different companies: the Tabulating Machine Company, the International Time Recording Company, the Computing Scale Corporation, and the Bundy Manufacturing Company. This was incorporated on June 16, 1911. CTR was renamed International Business Machines corporation in 1924 (oh my god!!! It’s almost 85 years)

In the past 85 years, they have acquired more than 95 companies across business like Software development, consulting, business intelligence, content management etc…

To my surprise, out of 95, more than 45 companies had been acquired during the period 2004-2009 (still counting)

Some of the notable acquisitions of IBM since 1995:

Lotus Corporation – 1995 – Desktop & Personal computers
Tivoli Systems Inc – 1996 – Service Management, security, Storage Software Products
Informix Corporation – 2001 - Database
PriceWaterhouseCoopers – 2002 – Business Consulting
Rational Software Corporation – 2003 – Software development Products
Daksh e-Services – 2004 – BPO Services
Ascential Software Corporation – 2005 – Datawarehousing & Business Intelligence
Network Solutions – 2005 – IT Services
Filenet Corporation – 2006 – Content Management
Internet Security Systems (ISS) – 2006 – IT Security
Vallent Corporation – 2007 - Telecommunications
DataMirror Corporation – 2007 – Data Integration
Cognos – 2008 – Business Intelligence
Outblaze's E-Mail Service Assets – 2009 – Email Service alert for Lotus Products

Now comes the Head-on competitor - Oracle

Oracle, founded in 1977, specializes in developing & marketing DBMS Products. Through its organic growth & a number of high profile acquisitions, they became one of the head-on competitors for IBM.

They are in an acquisition spree since 2005 & they have acquired around 50 companies

Some of their major acquisitions:

i-Flex Solutions – 2005 – Financial Software Product Development
Retek – 2005 – Retail Management System
Oblix – 2005 – Security Product
Peoplesoft – 2005 – Enterprise Software
Siebel Systems – 2006 – CRM Product development
Metasolv – 2006 – OSS Software
Hyperion Corporation – 2007 – Enterprise Performance Management
Agile Software Corporation – 2007 – PLM
BEA Systems – 2008 – Enterprise Software
Sun Microsystems – 2009 – Hardware, Software, IT Services

Though the list of acquisition is less, the value of the organizations is high…

Competing Products in the market

Websphere - Weblogic
Oracle DBMS - DB2 & Informix
Cognos - Hyperion
IBM MDM - Oracle MDM
IBM Infosphere- Oracle Fusion Middleware
Tivoli - Oracle Oblix, Sun IDM, Sun IAM
IBM SDK - Java JDK (Sun)
AIX - Solaris (Sun)
IBM Servers - Sun Server
IBM HPC - Sun HPC
IBM WMQ - SeeBeyond
IBM Chip Designing- Sun Chip designing (Montalvo Systems)

Next possible Acquisitions either by IBM or Oracle:

Computer Associates ($ 4.5 Billion) – Leading Enterprise IT management product Development Company which is a near competitor for IBM Tivoli products…So there are high possibilities that Oracle can buy CA in near future because Oblix & Sun IDM & IAM alone will not be able to compete with Tivoli range of products.

Vignette Corporation ($ 170 Million) – Leading content management product development company. The only way for Oracle to compete with IBM’s Filenet product is to buy Vignette Corporation. I think they will do in near future

Informatica ($ 450 Million) – Leading Data warehousing Product Development Company…hmm…I donno…survival of the fittest…Lets see is it gonna be IBM or Oracle or someone else

SAP Labs ($ 10 Billion) – Leading ERP software product Development Company which is one of the major competitor of Oracle. So let’s wait n watch what IBM is gonna do…

Apart from these, so many companies might come under their radar like Tibco, Webmethods, Symantec, McAfee, Pega Systems, BMC, NCR corporation...

Lets wait n watch who is gonna be the next big fish in their net...

Nice Stuff...

Hey new theorem.. stupid bundle bakhwaas theorem..... (SBB Theorem)

Theorem: Generalised method for finding the average time any person takes for walking 1 km using his/her trouser length & shoe size

Logic: At the instant when a person keeps is first leg and lifts the back leg, the front leg is at 90 degrees to the ground. hence using pythagoras theorem H = length of the back leg (TL,trouser length in Cm's)+ SS, Shoe size, O = TL,trouser length in CM's. Find A, the average step length.

Having found A, which is approximately the average length of the step a person takes, one can calulate the time the person takes to complete the step = T.

Average Step length,S in meters = (Sqrt (sqr (TL+SS) – Sqr(TL)) )/100
Time taken for S =T
Time taken for 1 KM in Minutes= ((1000*T/(S* 60)
Time Taken for N Km's = N(1000*T)/(S* 60)

Example:

My Trouser Length = 43 inches = 110.94
My Shoe Size = 9 inches = 22.5

H= TL + SS
H=133.44

O= 110.94

A = SQRT (SQR(133.44)- SQR(110.94))
A = SQRT (17806.23-12307.68)
A= 74.15221

A or S in Metres =0.7415221

TIme taken to complete S = 1.2 Seconds

Time I take for 1 KM = (1000*0.9) /(0.7415221*60)

Time I take for 1 KM =20.22862 minutes

How is that???

"Varanam Aayiram"........Whatever happens, Life has to go on!!!!

I still remember those days when we went to watch movies just for fun, time pass...

then came the days when we went to watch the heros on the screens...

then came the days when we went to watch the movies because of their directors...

n then came the days when we went to watch the movies because of their Story, Screenplay & Cinematography...

One such film is Varanam Aayiram...After a great struggle for two weeks, I could manage to get a ticket for a night show...[with my mom :-) now a days, she s the only person who accompanies me for movies] With lots n lots of expectations, I was sitting in my allotted seat to watch the most awaited movie...after some couple of commercials...The movie started off with a gramaphone on the screen n a person (Suriya) singing an oooold Hindi song followed by "uravugal thodarkadhai" song...Apart from the film "GURU", this is the only film in which I liked title bgm.

The story in a nutshell - the theme of how a father often came across his son's life as a hero and inspiration, whose death was deeply mourned in the end. It may sound so childish when u read this...but watch the movie you will realize the real feel of it...The screenplay of the film is fantabulous...Its like reading a novel page by page...

Three reasons why I like this movie...(1) Gautam Menon (2) Suriya & (3) BGM & Songs (Harris Jayaraj)

Gautam Menon:

I am an avid fan of Gautham...I donno the reason...Starting from his first film 'Minnale' till his last film 'Pachai Kili Muthu Charam' Amazing works, Hats off to him!!! Name of the movie...Varanam Aayiram means 'the strength of a thousand elephants'...

வாரணம் ஆயிரம் சூழ வலம் செய்து நாரணன் நம்பி நடக்கின்றான் என்றெதிர் பூரண பொற்குடம் வைத்துப் புறம் எங்கும் தோரணம் நாட்டக் கனா கண்டேன் தோழி நான் கனா கண்டேன் .

really donno from where he gets these titles??? One more thing that I liked very much in the movie...the theme - Whatever happens, life has to go on!!! Amazing Theme...

Suriya:

Suriya s someone who likes to do normal things in a different way...Surya has, no doubt, scaled many dimensions in acting especially in this film, he carries the whole film in his shoulders...Starting from the introduction scene till the climax, simply superb acting...Especially when he gets onto the road in search of the Child, Aditya...

BGM & Songs:

Harris has proved that he was an assistant to AR Rahman...Amazing music...All the songs rock and his background score also is very good backed by good poetic lyrics...My favorite is "Nenjukul Peidhidum Maamazhai" & "Anajalai"...Hope to see more movies like this...

Overall...a movie worth watching...Hats off to the team...If you like this movie...then I am sure you are emotionally attached to someone in this world...may be ur dad or mom or bro or sis or wife or friend or anyone in ur life!!!!

Welcome to Chennai!!!

Nisha!!!

Oh My God!!! Look at the clouds!!! Its gonna rain cats & dogs!!! 

Hey!!! Say No to schools!!! 

Oops College??? Bunk the classes...freak out!!!

Atlast! The rain has stopped!!! Prevention is better than cure...I have an Umbrella :-)

No Words to say!

Deep in trouble!

Standing tall!!!

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

Bang! What am I doing now???
Bang Bang! Why am I doing this???
Bang Bang Bang! How should I do this otherwise???

Bang! Is this what I am supposed to do???
Bang Bang! Is that worth doing this???
Bang Bang Bang! Is this gonna help me in future???

Bang! Am I goin on the right track???
Bang Bang! If not where am i goin wrong???
Bang Bang Bang! Is there anything else to I can do to make it right???

These are the words that come to mind daily...Is this the thirst to do more or am I goin mad???

I always have some answers for all these questions...some might be true...some might be inspirational or even some might be insane...never mind...glimpse of answers!!!

"Life is filled with probabilities...
That Challenge us each day, to take chance...
Try something new; see things in different ways...
To explore the precious gifts of who we are, & what we know...go on look within...

We spend a lifetime searching for happiness, 
Looking for peace...
We chase idle dreams, addictions, religion, even other people, 
Hoping to fill the emptiness of that infects us...
I think the irony is that the only place where we need to search 
Is within ourselves which we never do!!!!

End of the day...It’s our Life...We have to live...”

Words of Wisdom - If Life is Revesed???

I came across a nice wordings of George Costanzza - "Words of Wisdom"...Here it s!!!

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it end. I mean life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What's that, a Bonus?!? I think the lifecycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then you start work, you get a gold watch on teh first day. You work forty years untill you are young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities. You become a little boy, you go back, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm!! Amen..."

The Legend Rides ON!!!

Hurray!!!!!! At last the pride is mine...

There is a new member in my family...But its a beast...A Creature...

The beast is black in colour....weighs around 200 Kgs...can run up to 120 kph on flat surface...can't fly or swim...

Yeah...I bought a brand new Royal Enfield - Bullet 350. My interest in Bullets ...took off when i was a kid.... and it grew with me and finally my thoughts and dreams of owning a Bullet came true when i bought the bike on 17th June...Now I can say "I OWN A BULLET"

Some people said it is not worth for the money that you pay!!!
Some people said it is just to Show Off!!!
Some people said it wont fit your body!!!
Even some people said its not there in the market!!!

Fed-up...huh!!! just thought of telling them "Only Boys ride Toys...&...Men ride Bullets"

There were some confusion on selecting the bike in Royal Enfield...as in to go for either Bullet 350 or Bullet Electra or Bullet Thunderbird or Bullet Machismo...

Finally opted for the BRAND NEW GOOD OLD BULLET 350...coz i still remember the bullet that my dad owned long long ago...so long ago :-)

The ride has just started!!! n till long way to go!!!

Dyslexia

Last week i was watching the movie 'Taare Zameen Par' (I think fourth time)...Such an awesome film...Directed & produced by Aamir Khan..Starring himself with Darsheel Safary (Ishaan Awasti).

Thought of writing something about Dyslexia coz somethin tickled me when I correlated my last posting - 'Request Pending' with TZP. Especially the request from Chris - 'I would like to @:-) live 900 years like in the guy in bible'. Isn't it??

& here s my research!!!

Dyslexia is a learning disability that manifest primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling... & my research goes on & on...i don't think there s enough space here to give all the details. but it was really interesting...

I was zapped when i saw the ppl who were considered dyslectic in their childhood...Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Michel Faraday, Perie Curie, Leonardo Da Vinci, Agatha Christie, John F Kennedy, George Washington, Winston Churchill, Tom Cruise, Keanu Reeves & the list again goes on & on...

Jus wondering dyslexia - is it a disability??? i don't think so...

Request Pending...

Given an option like this...wat would be your request to God???

Pls dont ask the same question to me...coz I ve lots & lots of request pending from his side already!!!
