Quest for Eldorado

The past few days I have been wondering where my true love is.
Its like the Quest for Eldorado .
People have searched all their lives for Eldorado but its always been elusive.
Its like searching for a Strawberry in Sambar.
But in my case I am neither looking for Eldorado nor the Strawberry.
So there must be some reasons why I have not been able to find it.
And then I realized the actual cause for me not being able to find my love.
It was because of my obtrusive mail server.
Here is why I call my mail server obtrusive .

P.S : Check the subject of the mail

Govinda Open

The years first tennis grand slam has started and its already making people close their eyes in disbelief.
No there has been no spectacular jawdropping rallies played by any one nor has Sania Mirza done the unthinkable and gone past the second round.
The real reason is the attire worn by many of the players this time.
The flavour of the season this time around seems to be Govinda(nothing to do with him making a 5 minute "comeback" in Bhagam Bhag).
Govinda would have gone hysterical and jumped around in joy looking at the
bright flourescent green, pink and orange skirts worn by the tennis players.
It was not only the women who came up with ostentatious displays of colour
even the men joined in and had their share of Govinda days in the tennis calendar.

Here are some of the "colours" worn by them

Serena Williams



Marat Safin




Maria Sharapova
Hmmm....




Tatiana Golovin




Nicole Vaidisova



So lime is the colour.

Simply Complex

Complex numbers form a very intriguing and interesting group of numbers among
all the different kinds of numbers known to us.
The confusing part of complex numbers come from the fact that they have both real and "imaginary" parts.
Any complex number can be expressed in the form
a + ib where a is the real part and b the imaginary part.
It is this imaginary part of the complex number which lends the complexity to the number.

In this mundane world of ours where every other object is "a copy of a copy of a copy" there are truly very few things or
objects manmade which enchant you first up.For something to make you take notice it should have some very
special features which truly appeal to your senses and make you feel as if its all a dream.
Newton must have felt exhilarated when an Apple fell on his head and made him realize that there is something called gravity
because of which we all can stand on our feet and not drift around like a baloon.I think the same exhilaration is felt in
every carbon life form when they see an Apple iMac or an Apple iBook or the now ubiquitous Apple iPod.

And the common thing in all Apple products is they are all named i(something).

That means they all tickle the imaginary part of our cerebellum.

They all are Complex products
which are truly "imaginary" and whimsical in their features , looks and functionality but are yet so simple .

And now Apple has "Just one more thing......"

The Apple iPhone.




Now this is truly an imaginary phone.

Check out the working of the Apple iPhone here.

You will be truly amazed .
