Draining off.......passwords!!

Our mind can be made to store many things. We use it to remember infinite things. I have to remember numerous passwords(how I hate it). Work-station password,office confidential passwords,e-mail passwords(personal,official),net-banking passwords... Have you ever imagined what would happen if all the passwords are suddenly erased from ur memory! !..chaos........
One of the things that I hate most is to create a new password when it got expired. Sometimes few applications would say "Password too short" "Password not complex enough " "should be combination of numerals and special character"..... "!@#$%^&*()" -phew! and my new password is created. But how do I remember it??
Well, there are many ways one can create a perfect password and at the same time easy to remember too.1.Think of a sentence that you can remember .e.g "my girlfriend's name is alizee and she is beautiful". Make sure the computer or application supports such passwords (with spaces in between).
2.If it doesn't support, don't worry , take the first letter of each word of the sentence that you've created to create a new, nonsensical word. Using the example above, you'd get:"mgniaasib" - wow!
3.Add complexity by by mixing uppercase and lowercase letters and numbers. It is valuable to use some letter swapping or misspellings as well.Your phrase might become "My g1rlfr1end's Name 1s Al1zee and She 1s beaut1ful".This might yield a password "MgN1AaS1b".
4.Substitute some special characters.You can use symbols that look like letters, combine words (remove spaces) and other ways to make the password more complex. Ur phrase becomes "My g1rlfr1end'$ N@me 1$ @l1zee @nd $he 1$ be@ut1ful" and the password "MgN1@@$1b"
5.And finally don't reveal it to anyone.

"There is a way to be good again."

"There is a way to be good again." This is a quote from the book "The Kite Runner"- Khaled Hosseini. I found the quote very interesting and meaningful. Well, it carries a wonderful message . In our life(I m not here to preach :-) ), we come across many situations wherein we could have done things differently which could have led to a different consequence. There are times when you have to choose among many things...and you end up choosing the one in your own interest. But, in a long run, we always get a chance to be good again. What we need is to grab the chance... there is always a way to be good again.

Holidays ....oh! those summer vacations

Summer has a reason to be remembered. There was a time when this particular season of the year used to be an awaited one. It is the time of the year when the schools are closed and you have lots of time to share with friends and family. This privilege continued during my college days too. We used to book the train tickets for home months before. With eager feet we use to follow the easterly winds. But then those are memories and memories are meant to be cherish...
Things are different now.

Its summer time but no vacation :( I m here in a crowded city far from home and the near ones. No more leisure summer afternoons in the cherry tree shades. But then, I have become tougher. Now I can tolerate more than 40 degrees Celsius temperature even in the midst of a traffic jam. Rookies complain.I have stopped complaining, believe me. .

"Ema (mother)" - the word which means everthing

Ever imagined yourself when your moral is not so high, things around you are tumbling, then you turn up to someone for warmth and comfort.I always knew "Ema" is always there to provide that solace. "Ema" - is a common word meaning "mother" in my mother tongue "Manipuri". As a child, whenever I m not happy, I would cry out aloud calling "Ema".When someone tries to bully me, "Ema" is the word you would utter. Ema is always there to protect you. Whenever I m hurt, it may be just my toe kicking a stone accidentally, as a reflex action I would cry out "Ema"..... So, its a kind of bond most of us have with our mothers. So deep and tender , yet so beautiful.

A tribute to those primary teachers...

Its very hard to teach someone learn Alphabets. Yes A,B,C,D,E......................X,Y,Z. Teaching something is not as easy as it seems to be. I was struggling to teach an illiterate guy learn the basic building blocks of English language. I found that its a very hard job to teach someone understand the english alphabets.
How my teachers would have taught me to read, to write?? They would have answered to my stupid endless questions..Their patience would have been tested. Hats off to their quality of being able to remain patient when a child fails to recognize the alphabet "A" after being taught numerous times. I still remember a Nursery rhyme..
"Hush-a-bye, baby,
in the tree top.
When the wind blows,
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby,
cradle and all. "
I remember I struggled like anything to learn by-heart this particular Rhyme. So my teacher didn't allow me to go home until I learned the rhyme.Even today, I haven't forgotten the Rhyme. Thanks a lot for those efforts and guidance. Primary teachers do have a major role in making our careers...

DLF IPL Twenty20 - An image of present India

The summer season is on with the mercury rising above 40 degree Celsius but the energy levels are also high. One could only visualize it with the way the DLF IPL Twenty20 tournament is on its course. Cricket is more than a sport in India. Everyone in India seems to be involved with this sport in one way or another. This avatar of cricket is enormous in the sense the amount of money that has been put into it. People who are associated with each team are no ordinary individuals. They include successful film stars and industrialists who have excelled in their respective fields. The way the tournament has been conducted has to be appreciated. The auction of the players was one of its kind in India.
But one question pops up "Will this format of the game going to dilute the original essence of Cricket?". Well, the gurus of cricket always felt that Test Cricket would retain its place what so ever happens.Only time will tell us the answer to this question. It would be hard for someone to watch a One day match or even worse a Test match after this IPL revolution. One cannot simply forget the amount of enjoyment in a Twenty20 match. In almost 4 hrs of the match, you could experience everything from good cricket being displayed to the dancing tunes being played. The Cheerleaders add glamour and encouragement to the viewers. There is hardly any dull moment in the whole match.
Truly speaking, there has also been a good amount of Cricket being played. The players have taken it seriously which has made the tournament successful.The DLF IPL Twenty20 is truly an image of present India. A country with immense resources of youth and energy.The World is taking keen interests in the developments happening in India... IPL Twenty20 is just the beginning...................

For a greener tomorrow

Let us contribute in a simple way that we all can do in controlling the Global Warming. An individual can be a part of this war against global warming in their own possible ways. These are a few things we can do:-
1. Change your light bulb with a CFL (compact Fluorescent lamp). CFLs last 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs, use two-thirds less energy, and give off 70 percent less heat.
2. Drive less, drive smart.
One cannot avoid driving but you can always be a smart driver.When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. For example, keeping your tyres properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget, it also keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving gasoline, walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community’s mass transit system, and check out options for carpooling to work or school.
3.Dont forget to switch off your electronic equipment when not in use.
4.Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Buying products with minimal packaging will help to reduce waste.
5. Plant a tree.
A single tree will absorb approximately one ton of carbon dioxide during its lifetime.
6.Encourage Others to Conserve
Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbors and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment.
These are not the only things you can do. We can always play our part in saving this beautiful earth.
