Hapy with my ipod

at first i thought the 8gb ipod which ankit gave me was just another music device, like the ole walkman. but now i have realised the value of this thingy. i enjoy reading comic boooks i have down loaded, quickly accessing my entire photo album, to show off to any one interested, watch you tube, whenevr, i am in Wi-Fi zone, access facebook, which i cannot do on my office comp- coz it is blocked and of course, access my 4 email accounts, all at the same time, besides reading news updates, check on weather at london ( Pri lives there), tokyo( anki lives there) and mumbai !
So thanks pple, thanks anki !
I may even venture into buying an apple mac book at this rate, or look for "Kindle" like thing from apple !

Disaster Management drill

We had a disaster management drill in our office building today. Attendance was poor & only improved when people were forced to attend !Isn't it a shame that we have no concern for our own safety- do we really consider & beleive that no disaster will strike us ever? what with natural calamities occuring at all times & all over the world & terrorists finding newer ways to engage the common people, basic knowledge of disaster mangement should be made compulsary at all levels, right from primary schools till universities, institutions & homes.
I wonder if high rise buildings in Mumbai & Delhi, ever conduct Disaster mangement drills. Society Managements should be made responsible, as part of their charter. Severe penalties need to be levied for non compliances. Any other place where public gather in large numbers need to be scrutinised for safe evacuation passage & procedure & implemented by authorities vested with managing or governing that particular place.

earth institute

Commendable work is being done at Columbia Univ. for our earth by the group called The Earth Institute.To make it sustainable & extend it's use for us humans for eons to come is their aim, as I can see. I am interested in contributing to this effort. i made a beginning by putting myself on their mailing list. Let'ssee what happens as we go along.

First Day First Show

I am a blogger now ! My title reminds me of my days in the rough town called Jabalpur in MP, India, where we used to cut classes to go & see the First day First show movies, whatever crap it was, at even 0900 hrs in the morning, just fot the thrill of boasting to friends & not so friendly humans, that we saw the first day first show of so & so movie.
Now, I wonder, how I'll do a first day first show, for my blog spot, here after ?!
