IPL

Indian Premier League grabbed the attention of Indian cricket lovers in the first week itself. Brendon McCullum and Mike Hussey helped to raise awareness about IPL with fine centuries. IPL grabbed more TRP ratings than family soaps in the prime time, according to latest TV ratings. Whether cricket purists like it or not, IPL is here to stay and will expand to new cities. More International players will play in the coming years and may announce retirements if ICC will not accomodate IPL in the futire calendar.Twenty20 cricket is mainly a batsmen game. So my top 10 cricket stars list mostly comprising of batsmen. Bangalore showed strong bounce back after a demoralising loss against Kolkata in the initial match. Kolkata won the both matches and is showing fine all-round performance. Foreign players (Australian and South African cricketers) shined in the first week of IPL T20 cricket tournament. Keepers like Brendon McCullum and Mark Boucher played match winning knocks in the first week. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma are big disappointments in the first week. Despite Yuvraj’s brilliant batting, Mohali lost both matches.

gaaaaaaaaaaalipata -its rocking...!!!

This is a masterpiece by director Yogaraj Bhat after the success of his earlier film Mungaru Male . This romantic story is more serious. The script has been brilliantly handled and the narration is excellent. But the heart of the story is Bhat's dialogues which send out a message. Don't be surprised if tears flow from your eyes after watching the brilliant climax in this film about three boys falling in love with three girls with two getting engaged to their lovers while the other struggles to get the girl. Though the story is simple, there is always the 'Yogaraj Bhat touch' with fresh ideas and innovations. Three friends Ganesh (Ganesh), Diganth (Diganth) and Rajesh Krishna (Kitty) come to Mugilupete. Ganesh falls in love with Sowmya (Daisy Bopanna), a widow, staying with her in-laws Kodandaram (Anant Nag) and Padma (Padmaja Rao) while Diganth and Kitty fall for Kodandaram's daughters Radha (Nita) and Pavani (Bhavana Rao) respectively. While Diganth-Nita and Kitty-Pavani get the green signal for marriage, Sowmya is hesitant to accept Ganesh as her life partner. The director shows how Ganesh wins her heart, in a unique way. The 'talkative' Ganesh is simply superb with his body language, dialogue delivery and expressions. Rajesh Krishna, Diganth, Nita, Bhavana Rao perform extremely well. Anant Nag is at his best. But it is Rathnavelu who walks away with all honours for his brilliant handling of the camera. V Harikrishna has given some foot-tapping numbers.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at the 9th Auto Expo in New Delhi, Mr. Ratan N. Tata said, “I observed families riding on two-wheelers – the father driving the scooter, his young kid standing in front of him, his wife seated behind him holding a little baby. It led me to wonder whether one could conceive of a safe, affordable, all-weather form of transport for such a family. Tata Motors’ engineers and designers gave their all for about four years to realise this goal. Today, we indeed have a People’s Car, which is affordable and yet built to meet safety requirements and emission norms, to be fuel efficient and low on emissions. We are happy to present the People’s Car to India and we hope it brings the joy, pride and utility of owning a car to many families who need personal mobility.”

Stylish, comfortable
The People’s Car, designed with a family in mind, has a roomy passenger compartment with generous leg space and head room. It can comfortably seat four persons. Four doors with high seating position make ingress and egress easy.

Yet with a length of 3.1 metres, width of 1.5 metres and height of 1.6 metres, with adequate ground clearance, it can effortlessly manoeuvre on busy roads in cities as well as in rural areas. Its mono-volume design, with wheels at the corners and the powertrain at the rear, enables it to uniquely combine both space and manoeuvrability, which will set a new benchmark among small cars.

When launched, the car will be available in both standard and deluxe versions. Both versions will offer a wide range of body colours, and other accessories so that the car can be customised to an individual’s preferences.

Fuel-efficient engine
The People’s Car has a rear-wheel drive, all-aluminium, two-cylinder, 623 cc, 33 PS, multi point fuel injection petrol engine. This is the first time that a two-cylinder gasoline engine is being used in a car with single balancer shaft. The lean design strategy has helped minimise weight, which helps maximise performance per unit of energy consumed and delivers high fuel efficiency. Performance is controlled by a specially designed electronic engine management system.


Meets all safety requirements
The People’s Car’s safety performance exceeds current regulatory requirements. With an all sheet-metal body, it has a strong passenger compartment, with safety features such as crumple zones, intrusion-resistant doors, seat belts, strong seats and anchorages, and the rear tailgate glass bonded to the body. Tubeless tyres further enhance safety.

Environment-friendly
The People’s Car’s tailpipe emission performance exceeds regulatory requirements. In terms of overall pollutants, it has a lower pollution level than two-wheelers being manufactured in India today. The high fuel efficiency also ensures that the car has low carbon dioxide emissions, thereby providing the twin benefits of an affordable transportation solution with a low carbon footprint.

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF PHOENIX......!!!!!

Harry and his unpleasant cousin Dudley are suddenly attacked by Dementors in Little Whinging (suburbia). Harry fends them off with a Patronus Charm. Harry receives an owl letter stating he has been expelled from Hogwarts for performing magic outside school. Several more letters arrive in quick succession: Arthur Weasley and Sirius Black warn Harry not to leave the house, while another overturns his expulsion and orders him to appear at a hearing at the Ministry o Magic.
Several Order of the Phoenix members escort Harry to their secret headquarters at the Black Family home, 12 Grimmauld Place in London. The Weasleys, Hermione, and Harry’s godfather Sirius Black are there. There Harry learns that Voldemort plans to build up an army and is attempting to retrieve a "weapon". Harry is cleared of the charges against him, because he acted in self-defence. The Ministry, however, still refuses to admit that Voldemort has returned.
The students return to Hogwarts, where Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary to the Minister, has been appointed by the Ministry as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. She refuses to teach students any practical defense methods, only using textbooks to teach Ministry-approved theory. It is soon clear she is only there to spy on and take control of the school. She is soon appointed High Inquisitor, intimidating staff and students. She also harbours an intense dislike for Half-breeds, Centaurs, werewolves, and similar creatures. She considers Hagrid (a half-breed giant) and Sybill Trelawney incompetent, and fires Trelawney.
Harry has been having strange dreams of running down a hallway and attempting to open a door in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries. He also dreams he is a snake attacking Ron's father, Arthur Weasley. The next morning, Arthur is discovered covered with venomous snake bites. Harry fears he is being possessed and transported by Voldemort to do his bidding. Dumbledore makes Severus Snape give Harry lessons in the art of Occlumency to block his mind from intrusion.
Hermione blackmails journalist Rita Skeeter into writing a newspaper article that Harry witnessed Voldemort's return. Luna Lovegood's father publishes the article in his magazine The Quibbler. Furious, Umbridge bans the tabloid at the school, but the story spreads rapidly, gathering support for Harry.
Hermione convinces Harry to secretly teach students Defence Against the Dark Arts. They name their group the Defence Association (D.A.), although they begin calling themselves "Dumbledore's Army" to mock the Ministry of Magic, which fears that Dumbledore is trying to gain power for himself. Umbridge uncovers the secret meetings, and to protect the students, Dumbledore claims he organized the group. Confronted by two Ministry Aurors (Dawlish and Shacklebolt), Fudge, Percy Weasley, and Umbridge, Dumbledore is spectacularly whisked away on his phoenix, Fawkes. Umbridge is appointed Headmistress; the other professors do nothing to help her regain control over the school.
Harry receives a vision that Sirius is being tortured at the Department of Mysteries, unaware it is a ruse. He desperately attempts to contact Sirius via the fireplace in Umbridge's office but is caught. Umbridge reveals it was she who sent the Dementors to attack Harry during the summer. As she is about to use the Cruciatus Curse on him, Hermione tells her that Dumbledore has hidden a powerful weapon in the Forbidden Forest. Umbridge goes there, insults a Centaur, and gets captured by the other Centaurs.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione, along with Luna, Ginny, and Neville use the school's Thestrals to fly to the Ministry of Magic in London to save Sirius, unaware they are being lured into a trap. When they arrive at the Department of Mysteries, they are ambushed by Death Eaters. Voldemort seeks a Prophecy contained in a glass sphere and needs Harry to retrieve it for him.
The students heroically fight the Death Eaters, but they are outnumbered. Just as they are nearly defeated, Order members arrive. During the ensuing battle, the glass sphere is shattered. Sirius is attacked by his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, a Death Eater. He falls backwards through a mysterious veiled archway, never to return. Soon, Dumbledore arrives and most of the Death Eaters are captured. Lord Voldemort appears and duels with Dumbledore. Ministry of Magic employees arrive on the scene in time to see Voldemort before he disapparates, taking Bellatrix with him. Cornelius Fudge finally admits Voldemort has returned, and Harry's interview with Rita Skeeter is reprinted in the Daily Prophet.
Later in his office, Dumbledore apologizes to Harry for neglecting him over the past year. He reveals the lost prophecy's meaning, which states Harry must kill Voldemort or be murdered by him. Sybill Trelawney predicted, "Either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives." At the end of the year, Harry returns to the Dursleys for another summer, deeply grieving for his lost godfather.

WIBRO..!!!

WiBro (Wireless Broadband)is a wireless broadband Internet technology being developed by the Korean telecoms industry. It adapts TDD for duplexing, OFDMA for multiple access and 8.75MHz as a channel bandwidth. WiBro was devised to overcome the speed limitation of mobile phone (for example CDMA 1x) and to add mobility to broadband Internet (for example ADSL or Wireless LAN). In February 2002, the Korean government allocated 100 MHz of electromagnetic spectrum in the 2.3 - 2.4 GHz band, and in late 2004 WiBro Phase 1 was standardized by the TTA of Korea and in late 2005 ITU reflected WiBro as IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX). WiBro is the service name for mobile WiMAX in Korea. Two Korean Telco (KT, SKT) launched commercial service in June 2006, and the tariff is around 30 US$.
WiBro base stations will offer an aggregate data throughput of 30 to 50 Mbit/s and cover a radius of 1-5 km allowing for the use of portable internet usage. In detail, it will provide mobility for moving devices up to 120km/h (74.5miles/h) compared to Wireless LAN having mobility up to walking speed and Mobile Phone having mobility up to 250km/h. From testing during the APEC Summit in Busan in late 2005, the actual range and bandwidth were quite a bit lower than these numbers. The technology will also offer Quality of Service. The inclusion of QoS allows for WiBro to stream video content and other loss-sensitive data in a reliable manner. These all appear to be (and may be) the stronger advantages over the fixed WiMAX standard (802.16a). Some Telcos in many countries are trying to commercialize this Mobile WiMAX (or WiBro). For example, TI (Italia), TVA (Brazil), Omnivision (Venezuela), PORTUS (Croatia), and Arialink (Michigan) will provide commercial service after test service around 2006-2007. While WiBro is quite exacting in its requirements from spectrum use to equipment design, WiMAX leaves much of this up to the equipment provider while providing enough detail to ensure interoperability between designs.

HDTV the visual wonder...!!!

High-definition television (HDTV) is a digital television broadcasting system with a significantly higher resolution than traditional formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL). While some early analog HDTV formats were broadcast in Europe and Japan, HDTV is usually broadcast digitally, because digital television (DTV) broadcasting requires much less bandwidth. HDTV technology was first introduced in the US during the 1990s by a group of electronics companies called the Digital HDTV Grand Alliance.

High-Definition television was first developed by Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai, and was unveiled in 1969
Though the system did not become mainstream until the late 1990s.
In the early 2000s, a number of high-definition television standards were competing for the still-developing niche markets.
Current HDTV standards are defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-R BT.709) as 1080 active interlace or progressive scan lines, or 720 progressive scan lines, using a 16:9 aspect ratio. All current HDTV broadcasting standards are encompassed within the DVB specification.
HDTV is also capable of "theater-quality" audio because it uses the Dolby Digital (AC-3) format to support "5.1" surround sound. It should be noted that while HDTV is more like a theater in quality than conventional television, 35mm and 70mm film projectors used in theaters still have the highest resolution and best viewing quality on very large screens. Many HDTV programs are produced from movies on film as well as content shot in HD video.
The term "high-definition" can refer to the resolution specifications themselves, or more loosely to media capable of similar sharpness, such as photographic film. As of 2007, 24 million US households have HDTVs. However, only half are set up to actually receive HDTV programming as some consumers are not aware that they must get special receivers to get HDTV from cable, or use HDTV tuners to receive over-the-air broadcasts, and some are planning to use it in the future.

SONY BRAVIA The class apart...!!!!

BRAVIA is a Sony brand used to market its high-definition LCD televisions. The name is an acronym of "Best Resolution Audio Visual Integrated Architecture". All new Sony high-definition flat-panel LCD televisions in North America now carry the BRAVIA logo.
The name BRAVIA replaces the "LCD WEGA" brand name which Sony LCD TVs used up until Summer 2005 (early promotional photos exist of the first BRAVIA TVs still bearing the WEGA name).

Like other high definition television lines the various Bravia models differ in capability as well as screen size. Display capability depends on which high definition outputs are supported, and the input signal supplied to the television. Bravia televisions can display video from a variety of sources. The quality of the picture depends on the quality of the input.
The coax connector can receive regular television broadcasts, cable, and VCR/DVD output and will also receive and decode whatever high definition content is available on broadcast or cable television. Most high definition television which is broadcast is in the lower resolution high-definition formats.
Other traditional VCR/DVD outputs such as S-Video or Component video deliver the traditional television resolution that is no better than the resolution displayed by traditional television.
The HDMI input delivers the highest quality signal to the television and produces the highest quality high definition television picture, to the limits of the capabilities of the television. However, all HDMI has the HDCP content protection system built-in and this will degrade resolution of the display should the HDCP detect the presence of an unauthorized device. This limits the devices which deliver high definition TV content to those which are unable to record or otherwise duplicate protected content.
A VGA style computer connection is available, however the resolution of the video signal received from a computer may be limited to resolutions below the capability of the television depending on the capabilities of the computer's graphics card.
Purists will want to adjust the display on installation. The default configuration artificially enhances the color and contrast of the image to produce a more eye-catching, "vivid", display. This is easily done via a menu selection.

I LOVE HER......!!!!!

"Love is blind" this may be the sentence you may have heard about that is what even i had thought about till now.But after very much rude behavior of the person whom i love, whose name is RIDHI(real name is been hidden),has been acting as if I have done some crime by loving her,according to her i love her that is a biggest mistake u can even say a blunder according to her.

This all started near the place called as "bakery house"(real name is hidden).where in nearby i used to go for coaching classes...which i thought would be helpful in my studies but it was helpful in studies..because of which i got into C.H.A.S.E. which is the engineering college...and after seeing her...i experienced the thing which the call as so "love at first site".Which i never used to believe till then because i thought i will never meet her again in my life.As who knows what type of game does god play with us and no one knows what he had in store for me.

But soon i got to know when i entered C.H.A.S.E college of engineering.The first day of engineering i was sitting with one of my hostel friend who used to sing only tere naam song and aln=most fried my brains:). Then happened the incident which i expected the least....guess what i saw the same girl whom i satarted love from the first glance yes right RIDHI.That time i thought that god is there,and even became a strong believer of god.Then as usual as happens with most of the boys always dreaming about ,and yes as was staying in hostel I can tell there no such day which has gone without the fight with my hostel mates and it was just because of her.

Still i thought one day or the other day i thought she will understand my feelings..so like this only whole of the 1st year went then was the 3rd sem when MR.BANDLI thanks to him who

completely messed up all the things by telling her that i have a crush on her which is actually a wrong word because its not crush but love and her reply was cool "I know it rrom before itself"

then i was afraid to speak to her...which went on like this only till the time came when i made account in a site called KUTKUT which most of the college going students are mad about where after becoming her friend there,i started to speak to her but because of some people and even my fault she was angry and she deleted her account and because of which i was upset completely and even i thought finishing my self...

But what to do..now its all of no use as our semesters have finished and now i thoought atleast i can correct my mistake but for tht also she is not giving any chance so i feel like what the biggest blunder have I done on the earth ....I just love her..

and folks i have cut short all the incidents in my 4 years what all have happened .

so let it happen what ever i want to tell her or send her one message that she may think what ever she wants but "I loved her"

" I love her"

and

"I will be loving her only"
