Software engineer
Posted by Praful on November 29, 2009
A Junior Software engineer, a Senior Software engineer and their Project Manager r on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears. The ghost says, “Normally, 1 is granted 3 wishes but as you are 3, I will allow 1 wish each”.
So the eager Junior Software engineer shouted, I want the 1st wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries. “Pfuffff” and he was gone.
Now the Senior Software engineer could not keep quiet and shouted ” I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails. “Pfuffff” and he was also gone.
The Project Manager calmly said,” I want these 2 idiots back in the office after lunch at 1.30pm”
Moral: Always allow the boss 2 speek 1st………

Panjika (The Vedic Calendar)
Posted by Praful on November 21, 2009
The Panjika (almanac) is a book of dates, lunar days, auspicious and
inauspicious times, positions of the sun, moon, planets and stars,
horoscope, days of various festivals and religious occasions, etc. In
ancient Sanskrit literature and in many regions of India, it is called
Panchanga or five sections, because it contains information primarily on
five aspects of life: days, lunar days, stars, conjunction of stars and
action. In Bengal and Bangladesh it is well known as Panjika.
From the beginning of civilisation, people thought about the passage of
time and tried to calculate it; hence, at different places people
derived different ways of dividing time into year, month, day and dates.
Gradually, the need arose to determine the time of different religious
rites and social festivals and functions, and almanacs started serving
this purpose also.
In different countries, different methods have been used for calculating
time. As the rsis (hermit-scholars) of the Vedic Age used different
seasons to celebrate different festivals, calculation of the seasons was
very important to them. Accordingly, they divided the year into the
summer and winter solstices. When the sun travelled towards the north,
it was the summer solstice; when it travelled towards the south, it was
the winter solstice. Ancient scholars divided the year into twelve
parts: Tapah, Tapasya, Madhu, Madhav, Shukra, Shuchi, Nabhas, Nabhasya,
Is, Urja, Sahas and Sahasya. Tapah to Suchi formed the summer solstice
and Nabhas to Sahasya the winter solstice. This kind of calculation
continued to be used till 1500 BC. The mention of Falguni (spring) full
moon in Vedic literature suggests that lunar months were also calculated
at that time. However, at that time, only the new moon, the full moon
and the eighth lunar day were calculated.
With the passage of time, more scientific Panjika was evolved. Around
1,000 BC, this type of almanac started its year with the summer solstice
and contained twelve months. In this, 30 lunar days and 27 stars were
counted. A period of five years was counted as an age and the days would
be recalculated at that time. Calculations were not always very
accurate; on an average, one lunar day for every star was counted and
sometimes a lunar day would be dropped from the calculation. For almost
1,500 years, this kind of almanac was used for the calculation of time
and for religious and social occasions.
The almanac was greatly improved around the 4th and 5th centuries AD,
when finer methods of calculations were adopted. Some of the people who
played a leading role in this were Arya Bhatta, Varaha Mihir, and Brahma
Gupta. They based the calculation of time on astrology and added the
position of stars and planets, their movements, auspicious/inauspicious
times, lunar days etc to the almanac. It became very convenient to
gather astrological and astronomical information from the almanac.
Surya Siddhanta was regarded as a complete book of astrology. It is
regarded as the father of modern almanacs and subsequently time
calculations were done on its basis. Scholars used to copy almanacs on
palm leaves and carry them to rural areas. Times for worship and other
religious and social festivities were fixed on the basis of such
information.
In Bangladeshi almanacs, on the left-hand side of every page the
position of the moon in the zodiac is written in words; e.g., on the
above page, is written chandro kanyayang (the moon is in Virgo). The
positions of the different planets in the zodiac are shown through
mathematical calculations. It may be noted that before the Surya
Siddhanta, the daily positions of stars and planets were not written on
the almanac.
The Bangla Panjika has an ancient history, with the earliest perhaps
being the Navadvip Panjika, edited by the renowned Smriti scholar
Raghunandan. Others who prepared Panjika include Ramrudra Vidyanidhi
(18th century) and Biswambhar Jyotisharnabha. For some time the
calculations ceased. However, during British rule, due to the efforts of
a collector of Krishnanagar, Biswambhar again began the work of
publishing the Panjika. At that time it used to be written down in the
form of Puthi, but from 1869 it started being printed. From 1890,
Bishudha Siddhanta Panjika began to be published. The last official
revision of the Panjika was done in 1952 under the aegis of the Indian
government. Under the chairmanship of the famous scientist Meghnad Saha,
a Calendar Reform Committee was set up which reviewed the existing
almanacs and recommended certain reforms. At its recommendation, the
publication of the Panjika was brought under the purview of the
government and from 1957, almanacs are being published by the Indian
government. At present it is published in twelve languages and contains
the year, month and day of the Bangla, Hijri, and Gregorian calendars.
One of the most important modifications of the Panjika to the Bangla
calendar was that initiated by the Bangla Academy. According to the
traditional method of calculation of time, it was not possible to
predict the exact number of days in a month. Sometimes a month would
have 29 days and sometimes 32 days. This appeared to be the main
impediment to the acceptance of the Bangla calendar in all walks of
life. To resolve this problem, a reform committee was set up in 1963 by
the Bangla Academy with Muhammad Shahidullah at its head. According to
its proposal, the first five months of the year were to be of 31 days
each and the next seven months of 30 days. Since 1988, the government,
in accordance with the Shahidullah Committee’s method of calculation,
started using in official papers Bangla dates alongside Gregorian dates.
That same year, the Bangla Academy set up a committee of experts to make
the Bangla calendar parallel to the Gregorian calendar and remove all
errors. In 1995, a ‘task force’ was set up by the Cultural Ministry to
develop the calendar and it gave the following recommendations:
In keeping with the Shahidullah Committee’s recommendations, the months
from Baishakh to Bhadra would be of 31 days each and those from Asvin to
Chaitra of 30 days. During the Gregorian leap year, the Bangla year will
also be considered a leap year and Falgun will consist of 31 days.
In the Panjika, the lunar days are of great significance and a full
lunar month is of 29.5 days, i.e., 29 days, 12 hrs 43 minutes 12
seconds. The moon travels 360o in 29.5 days, so in one day it covers
360o 29.5 = 12.20o. This implies that on the second day, the moon will
be 12.20o above the western horizon. While setting, the moon takes 4
minutes to cover 1o. Thus, to cover 12.20o it needs 12.20 4 = 48.80
minutes, or at the most 50.52 or 51 minutes. So, on the first day, the
moon cannot be seen on the western sky for more than 51 minutes.
Scholars believe that if the above scientific method of calculation is
followed then the calculation of religious festivals depending on the
moon would become easier.

Gambhir hits ton
Posted by Praful on November 20, 2009
Gautam Gambhir and a dead Ahmedabad pitch took Sri Lanka’s dream of a first Test win in India a session closer to its death. Gambhir played out 93 deliveries for 31 runs in the first session, looking entirely at home in the role of saving a Test, going through score-less spells, and not letting it affect his mind. Four of his seven centuries – and all of his last three – have now come in the second innings, two of them in match-saving scenarios. He now averages 62.52 in the second innings, as opposed to a 55.27 overall.

Train derailed in india
Posted by Praful on November 19, 2009
Maoist rebels in India have blown up a railway track, leading to the derailment of a passenger train in the eastern state of Jharkhand, police say.
At least two people were killed and 47 others injured in the incident, which happened near Ghaghra station.
Rebels are fighting for communist rule in a number of Indian states. They have a presence in more than 223 of India’s 600-odd districts across 20 states.
More than 6,000 people have died during the rebels’ 20-year fight.
Eight coaches of the passenger train plying between Tatanagar and Bilaspur derailed after the rebels blew up a portion of the railway track near Ghaghra halt station in Jharkhand’s West Singhbhum district, police said.
“Maoists blew up a portion of the track that caused the derailment. Three coaches have been badly damaged,” federal railway minister Mamata Banerjee said.
Ms Banerjee said two passengers travelling on the train had died after the coaches derailed. Six others were trapped in the coaches, she added.
The rebels set off several explosions near the tracks after the incident to prevent rescue workers from reaching the site, the railway minister said.
Rescue workers have reached the site and are trying to bring out the passengers who are trapped, a senior police official said.

Biggest threat
Posted by Praful on November 18, 2009
The incident happened at the same time as the rebels called for a 24-hour strike in Jharkhand. They are demanding that a rebel who was arrested recently by the police should be presented in court immediately.
There has been a surge in Maoist violence in recent months
Last week, the rebels abducted a former legislator in Jharkhand, and later released him.
Ramchandra Singh was canvassing for the forthcoming state assembly elections. Polls are to be held in five phases between 27 November and 18 December.
Police say they are unclear about the reasons behind Mr Singh’s abduction and subsequent release.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the Maoist insurgency as the single largest threat to the country.
The rebels say they are fighting for communist rule and the rights of the poor peasants and landless.
There has been a surge in Maoist violence in recent months – the rebels have kidnapped and killed policemen, help up an express train, attacked police stations, and blown up railway lines and communication links in affected states.

Children cost Indian man his job
Posted by Praful on November 17, 2009
A 50-year-old population control law has been invoked in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) to dismiss an official from a housing society board.
V Devdas was asked to step down from the Oberoi Gardens Co-operative Housing Society for having a third child.
His successor as secretary said rivals in the housing society had complained about Mr Devdas after a disagreement.
The 1960 law bars public office holders from having more than two children. It can only be invoked after a complaint.
The law is meant to set an example to the general public, but experts say it has rarely been used to disqualify anyone.
India is the second most populated country in the world after China and officials have been grappling with ways to curb population growth.

Rahul hits century
Posted by Praful on November 16, 2009
Rahul Dravid’s 27th century – and tenth 150-plus score – carried more intent than probably any of his Test innings, and helped by MS Dhoni’s second century and Yuvraj Singh’s seventh half-century, led India’s remarkable comeback from 32 for 4 in the first half hour. Along the way, he took part in his 77th and 78th 100-run partnerships (both world records), scored more runs than he ever has in a day’s play, crossed Steve Waugh to become the fifth-highest run-getter in Tests, reached 11,000 career runs, and most importantly undid the superb start that two rookies gave Sri Lanka. Chanaka Welegedara and Dammika Prasad were last-minute replacements for Nuwan Kulasekara and Thilan Thushara, but they combined to give India flashbacks of their previous Test in Ahmedabad, when they were shot out for 76 by South Africa.

Water on moon
Posted by Praful on November 15, 2009

A camera on the probe shows the ejecta plume about 20 seconds after impact
Nasa’s experiment last month to find water on the Moon was a major success, US scientists have announced.
The space agency smashed a rocket and a probe into a large crater at the lunar south pole, hoping to kick up ice.
Scientists who have studied the data now say instruments trained on the impact plume saw copious quantities of water-ice and water vapour.
One researcher described this as the equivalent of “a dozen two-gallon buckets” of water.
“We didn’t just find a little bit; we found a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, chief scientist for the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission.
