Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937) New Zealand physicist One student in Rutherford's lab was very hard-working. Rutherford had noticed it and asked one evening: - Do you work in the mornings too? - Yes, - proudly answered the student sure he would be commended. - But when do you think? - amazed Rutherford. Hehe !!

Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one.

People if you want to put on weight , I suggest you go home late , around 11 pm , for a week , I am heavier by 2 kgs .Yahoo ..... On Saturday evening, I go to my room and what do I see? Its spick and span, all my books stacked neatly in the shelf. This could happen only if my sis is in town or my mom's relatives are dropping by. The later was true, my mom's younger bro (from Mangalore) was visiting Bangalore for a couple of days. So on Sunday , my mom wakes me up at 5 am . I say" For God's sake Mom ,Its 5 am on a chilly Sunday morning " in reply I get a dishum dishum and she packs me off to pick up her bro. So there I was on the highway ,at 5 .15am ,not a soul in sight, except for a couple of auto drivers warming themselves by the roadside bonfire . I join them and have a chat , warm myself by the fire. Bangalore is getting colder as the years go by. (Vc shivers) 5 30 am: Local metropolitan bus stops by, 4 mischievous village kids accompanied by their Grandpa and Granny get down. Poor guys they had their hands full, trying to control these brats. ( halli hudugrege bus andre eno maja, adeke elioke manisella ..) When another bus stops by, one of these brats makes a run for it,his ever vigilant grandma , catches him just in time and gives him a whack ! hehe 6 am : After a 45 min wait ,the Bus comes in and my uncle who had last seen me on my Sister's wedding fails to recognise me and I have to introduce myself :) .He was shivering in the cold his teeth literally chattering. He says Mangalore is hot and sultry and Bangalore is like a honeymoon spot ..hehe ... As we ride back home, he's enquiring about the wellbeing of all our relatives and starts scolding me for not visiting him in Mangalore . I had last been to my native 8 years ago ,... hmm ... the beaches , the temples , the fast moving private buses ,the fishy smell,the primitive tiled houses, not to mention the butterflies .. hmmm ... Funny incident : My Uncle is visiting our apartment for the first time and I'm sharing my room with him. He enter's my room ( which is all spick and span thanks to Mom ) and he says " hmm room chenagide , Maduve ago " ( Hey the Bedroom is spacious , now get married .) I fell on the floor laughing. After breakfast off to the vegetable market . My uncle is curious and wants to know what the vegetable rates are in Bangalore . When he learns that a bunch of coriander leaves costs around 1 rupee , he is astonished . It seems its Rs 20 in Mangalore :) . ( I am thankful to being in Bangalore). Afternoon : Was off to PB's marriage ( he sits next to me in office) . Got lost in Malleswaram trying to locate the Marriage hall .Malleswaram is one of Bangalore's oldest and posh places . The function was simple and traditional. The Groom was in a sherwani and looked like a model :) and the Bride ,who is a school teacher was just like any other Indian house wife , simple and boootiful .They made a charming couple . Was suprised to note that all my office colleagues were married . The lunch was a traditional South Indian plantain meal.. Soooooper :) * Weekend movies : Veer Zara : A must for all Shahrukh fans .. ok movie ... Rani is hmm hmm. Hulchul :Arshad Warsi's performance stands out .... Funny movie but same old formula. Swordfish : Hugh Jackman and John Travolta , Action packed flick. Want to sing Christmas Carols ?. Join me this Christmas " This little guiding light of mine " " Count your blessings " " Rudolf the red nose Reindeer " lala lala la la le So long .....

ANECDOTES ABOUT FAMOUS SCIENTISTS

This story is about the number 2^67-1, the 67th Mersenne number (Numbers,Mersenne had claimed to be prime, which was proven to be non-prime in 1903by F.N.Cole (1861-1927). In the October meeting of the AMS, Cole announceda talk "On the Factorisation of Large Numbers". He walked up to the blackboard without saying a word, calculated by handthe value of 2^67, carefully subtracted 1. Then he multiplied two numbers(which were 193707721 and 761838257287). Both results written on theblackboard were equal. Cole silently walked back to his seat, and this issaid to be the first and only talk held during an AMS meeting where theaudience applauded. There were no questions. It took Cole about 3 years,each sunday, to find this factorisation, according to what he said. This is freely quoted from E.T.Bell's book "Mathematics: Queen and Servantof Science", published in London, 1952; you can find the story in DavidWells: "The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers" (PenguinBooks, 1986) For the curious: 2^67 -1 = 193707721 x 761838257287 = 147573952589676412927 Why don't we think like this ? The great logician Bertrand Russell (or was it A.N. Whitehead?) once claimed that he could prove anything if given that 1+1=1. So one day, some smarty-pants asked him, "Ok. Prove that you're thePope." He thought for a while and proclaimed, "I am one. The Pope is one.Therefore, the Pope and I are one." hah ....Smart or is it too simple ...hmmm It is recorded in Sir Harold Jeffreys' Scientific Inference, in a note to chapterone. Jeffreys remarks that the fact that everything followed from a single contradiction had been noticed by Aristotle (I doubt this way of putting itis quite correct, but that is beside the point). He goes on to say that McTaggart denied the consequence: "if 2+2=5, how can you prove that I am the pope?" Hardy is supposed to have replied: "if 2+2=5, 4=5; subtract 3;then 1=2; but McTaggart and the pope are two; therefore McTaggart and the Pope are one." When I consider this story, I am astonished at how much more brilliant some people are or is it just simple plain old common sense ?

Q: What happened in that accident? A: I was going around the corner and it was wet and rainy outside, and I kind of slid down an embankment and went into some bushes. Q: Were the police called out to that? A: A state trooper came out. And he gave me a careless driving ticket because he told me he had to give me a ticket. I didn't fight it, because it was my word against the bushes, I guess you could say. Very GOOD :) "One of the primary reasons cat flaps are called cat flaps is that they're flaps specifically designed for cats, as opposed to dogs, or giraffes, or humans. All of this became abundantly clear to teenager Jason Evans, of Eastleigh, Hampshire, when he recently spent six hours stuck in one after using it in an attempt to get into his house. He was eventually cut free by firemen. In Germany, meanwhile, Gunther Burpus remained wedged in his front-door cat flap for two days because passers-by thought he was a piece of installation art. Mr Burpus, 41, of Bremen, was using the flap because he had mislaid his keys. Unfortunately he was spotted by a group of student pranksters who removed his trousers and pants, painted his bottom bright blue, stuck a daffodil between his buttocks and erected a sign saying 'Germany Resurgent, an Essay in Street Art. Please give Generously'. Passers-by assumed Mr Burpus' screams were part of the act and it was only when an old woman complained to the police that he was finally freed. "I kept calling for help," he said, "but people just said 'Very good! A four-year-old girl was learning to say the Lord's Prayer. She was reciting it all by herself without help from her mother. She said, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us some e-mail. AMEN" A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin, 5, Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. "If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.'" Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan, you be Jesus!"

One day there was a Bihari going in a Fiat Car at 45KMPH on a high way and enjoying his drive. Suddenly a Sardaji came Booiiiiiiiiinnnnnnn on a Honda and peeped into the car and shouted at the Bihari - 'Kabhi Honda chalaya kya?' and sped off.... The Bihari was surprised but he did not bother. After some time the Sardarji came Booiiiinnnnnnnnnn... in the opposite direction, peeped into the car and shouted again 'Kabhi Honda chalaya kya?' and sped off, This time the Bihari was annoyed , since the sardar was teasing about his driving. After some time again the Sardar came back speeding and said the same thing peeping into the car . The Bihari was about to say something but the Sardar sped off. This time the Bihari increased his speed but suddenly stopped as he found the Sardar lying on the road, bleeding. He got down and mocked at the sardar' Kyon Sardarji , 'Kabhi Honda chalaya kya?' The sardar said ' Wohi to puch raha tha , Brakes kahaan hain dhoond raha tha'!!!!!!!

Saw this yesterday .... Amazing .. Can't wait for the Sequel .... Psst it has Catherine :)

Getting down on all fours and imitating a rhinoceros stops babies from crying. (Put an empty cigarette pack on your nose for a horn and make loud "snort" noises.) I don't know why parents don't do this more often. Usually it makes the kid laugh. Sometimes it sends him into shock. Either way it quiets him down. If you're a parent, acting like a rhino has another advantage. Keep it up until the kid is a teenager and he definitely won't have his friends hanging around your house all the time.

And Then They Voted

Ripped off from (http://www.grouchyoldcripple.com/ ) Then they vote?? Your future is in their hands......? Comforting to live in an age of "one idiot, one vote". While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent whichdirection was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun wakinghim up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?"When another person jumped in and explained that the sun rises in theeast (and has for some time), she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don'tkeep up with that stuff." And then she voted. I used to work in technical support for a 24x7 call center. One day Igot a call from an Individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week".He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the callquickly, I said, "Uh. Pacific." And then he voted. So my colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when weoverheard one of the admin assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but"didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving." And then she voted. My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car. It's designed to cut througha seatbelt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the passenger side door'smap pocket. And then she voted. My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases werediscounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier multiplied two times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. And then they all voted. I was hanging out with a friend of mine when we saw a woman walk by us with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I had to explain to her that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned. And then she voted. My girlfriend and I were picking up some sandwiches from the sub placelast week and she asked the clerk which one of two sandwiches was better. The clerk didn't have an opinion but did say that the first sandwich was more expensive. My girlfriend got a quizzical look on her face and asked, "If that's the case, why are they both listed with the same price on the menu?"To this, the clerk responded, "I don't think they tax the turkey." And then he voted. My wife and I were trying to find a carry-on suitcase in one of those huge discount stores and had become hopelessly lost. We stopped and asked a department manager where we might find suitcases. "Did you try in Luggage?" she asked, and returned to what she was doing. And then she voted. I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to thelost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because they were trained professionals and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?" And then she voted.

Mysore gets its name from Mahishur, as it was called in the 10th century, and is believed to be the place where Goddess Durga killed the demon Mahishasura. A temple dedicated to the Goddess Durga, in the form of Goddess Chamundeshwari is set atop the Chamundi Hills. The view of Mysore city from atop the hill is excellent.

My trip to Srirangapatna and Mysore :Mysore - 140 kms from Bangalore. This city was the capital of Wodeyars. The Mysore Palace, Sri Jayachamarajendra Art Gallery, St. Philomena’s Church, Mysore Zoo, Chamundi Hills, KRS Dam & Brindravan Gardens are a few places to see in Mysore. Srirangapatna, Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary, Melkote, Somanathapur, Talakad, Bandipur National Park and Tiger Reserve, Cauvery Fishing Camp, Nagarhole National Park, Biligiri Rangana Betta are a few places around Mysore worth visiting.

Hehe
