Love represents a range of human emotions experiences related to the senses of affection sexual attraction.The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction . This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

As an abstract concept love usually refers to a strong, ineffable towards for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual. Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationship and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.

Life of people living in metros definitely would be like a machine's life.But I'm not leading any machine life but rest of the people who surround me lead a machine life.Most of the days i used to go to bed at early morning 6.Sometimes i used to come out of my room before going to sleep at 4 Am and used watch the road getting busy with traffic and people who are ready to start their day.When every people start their day i used to end mine.

When i look back all these days of my college life i have enjoyed my life much , never had any huge worries except during semester exam times.I have led life without any controls taking advantages of all the freedom given to me by my parents.Everyone out their in this whole world are earning a lot, spending a lot,working a lot and are doing many things a lot.In simple you need to carry on with a machine life to be a part of this society and to become successful. And time has almost come for me to begin a new machine life,since i am about to complete my degree.I am hoping to make the best out of this machine life.......

Well i was talking about my new graphics card ..I returned to the hostel with my new GPU and i was so eager to play some games with my new graphics card.I had some previous experiences of helping my friends installing GPU's in their computers,So i thought that won't be a problem but a very big trouble lied ahead for me.I just fitted the graphics card in the PCI express slot of my mother board and plugged my monitor cable in the GPU.Everything went well my PC started well and i entered into windows.The problem came when i was about to install the driver for my new GPU.They provided me with a driver version of Forceware 169.23 but it kept saying me it couldn't locate the hardware.I got frustrated with my new GPU.

Later i thought of downloading old drivers ( Forceware 169.21) from nvidia site .The size of the driver was 43 MB. I downloaded it and i couldn't wait for another min and immediately started installing it.It worked fine it recognized my hardware and everything went fine.My whole new graphics card started working well.

It's almost time for me to say to good bye to our SSN college of engineering.At the first day when i came to this college i was so sad of staying away from my home.I was so worried that time since it was the first time in my life i was about to stay in a hostel.Hostel life in SSN was not so cruel as i assumed it would be but rather it was very enjoyable .I have got a lot of good friends during my college life.I have had a lot of sweet and bitter occasions during my college life and i don't want take away any of them from my memories.(hope they really are dome of the sweetest memories of my life)..Anyway it's time for me to say good bye to all my friends in SSN college...

Finally my final year project review..It's over for god's sake.Oops!! i have been waiting for this day all along for six months and i was very nervous to face my review.I never thought it would be that easy,Everything went accordingly so well as planned.Some simple basic questions were fired at me it wasn't much difficult to answer them.One really sad thing about my review was we made a simple but a huge mistake in the presentation for which i got some nice scoldings from my internal examiner.Anyway it really didn't matter much to me.The first and second reviews were much tougher than my final review.Thanks to project teammates who did most of the work and i was simply with them rather doing any
work.With the finishing of my final year project all my pain and sufferings of my four year college life has come to an end.I mean the sweet enjoyable pain has come to an end.What a relief at last...

Have you ever heard of tube marketing????of course not ...right,Bollywood i mean the hindi film industry is right now gaining the maximum out of this simple and effective tube marketing.Bollywood producers these days are making use of video hosting sites like You tube and other social networking sites like Facebook,Orkut and Myspace which are popular among youths to promote their new movies.Hrithik's father the producer of the movie Krazzy 4 has marketed his movie by making the item songs done by Hrithik and Shah rukh available on you tube.The first week recorded 90,000 views for hrithik's song and double the number (1,80,000)for king khan on youtube.To market among the youths they are going to the places where youths generally hang out in the internet.

Yash raj films has marketed their latest movie Tashan by creating official communities on Facebook ,Orkut and launching promotional videos on youtube.This tube marketing really serves as one good source of marketing and my question is will other indian film industries learn this tube marketing from bollywood to promote their movies??.Let's wait and see it may happen in the near future because these sites like Youtube,Orkut and Facebook have made a great impact in the soceity and i hope our film industries are well aware of these facts.


Big Bang Theory - The Premise
The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.

According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know.

After its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it: incredible creatures living on a unique planet, circling a beautiful star clustered together with several hundred billion other stars in a galaxy soaring through the cosmos, all of which is inside of an expanding universe that began as an infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang theory.

Big Bang Theory - Common Misconceptions
There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.

Another misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, when men first walked upon the moon, "three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose turned their attention to the Theory of Relativity and its implications regarding our notions of time. In 1968 and 1970, they published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space.1, 2 According to their calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy."3 The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist and neither did we.

Big Bang Theory - Evidence for the Theory
What are the major evidences which support the Big Bang theory?

  • First of all, we are reasonably certain that the universe had a beginning.
  • Second, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this phenomenon in 1929. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted.
  • Third, if the universe was initially very, very hot as the Big Bang suggests, we should be able to find some remnant of this heat. In 1965, Radioastronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin (-454.765 degree Fahrenheit, -270.425 degree Celsius) Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) which pervades the observable universe. This is thought to be the remnant which scientists were looking for. Penzias and Wilson shared in the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery.
  • Finally, the abundance of the "light elements" Hydrogen and Helium found in the observable universe are thought to support the Big Bang model of origins.

Big Bang Theory - The Only Plausible Theory?
Is the standard Big Bang theory the only model consistent with these evidences? No, it's just the most popular one. Internationally renown Astrophysicist George F. R. Ellis explains: "People need to be aware that there is a range of models that could explain the observations….For instance, I can construct you a spherically symmetrical universe with Earth at its center, and you cannot disprove it based on observations….You can only exclude it on philosophical grounds. In my view there is absolutely nothing wrong in that. What I want to bring into the open is the fact that we are using philosophical criteria in choosing our models. A lot of cosmology tries to hide that."4

In 2003, Physicist Robert Gentry proposed an attractive alternative to the standard theory, an alternative which also accounts for the evidences listed above.5 Dr. Gentry claims that the standard Big Bang model is founded upon a faulty paradigm (the Friedmann-lemaitre expanding-spacetime paradigm) which he claims is inconsistent with the empirical data. He chooses instead to base his model on Einstein's static-spacetime paradigm which he claims is the "genuine cosmic Rosetta." Gentry has published several papers outlining what he considers to be serious flaws in the standard Big Bang model.6 Other high-profile dissenters include Nobel laureate Dr. Hannes Alfvén, Professor Geoffrey Burbidge, Dr. Halton Arp, and the renowned British astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle, who is accredited with first coining the term "the Big Bang" during a BBC radio broadcast in 1950.

Big Bang Theory - What About God?
Any discussion of the Big Bang theory would be incomplete without asking the question, what about God? This is because cosmogony (the study of the origin of the universe) is an area where science and theology meet. Creation was a supernatural event. That is, it took place outside of the natural realm. This fact begs the question: is there anything else which exists outside of the natural realm? Specifically, is there a master Architect out there? We know that this universe had a beginning. Was God the "First Cause"? We won't attempt to answer that question in this short article. We just ask the question:

Disney is taking its time with "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time." Its adaptation of the popular video game, which has begun filming, was penciled in for release June 19, but the studio is moving its debut by nearly a year to May 28, 2010.

Meanwhile, Overture Films has moved up its John Leguizamo film "Nothing Like the Holidays" by two weeks to Nov. 14 and set Jan. 23 as the release date for the Dustin Hoffman-Emma Thompson romantic dramedy "Last Chance Harvey."
