Living Diagonally In My Parallel World!

When I decided to buy a LCD TV (LCD = Liquid Crystal Display), I did a lot of online surveying. I am still yet to buy the TV but have been able to gather a lot of info. HD and HD ready The term HD (or full HD) refers to High Definition. HD offers an image resolution of 2 MP (Mega pixel) thats 1920x1080 pixels. HD ready TV is produces 1 MP images (1366x768 pixels). So obviously a full HD TV offers a better picture clarity compared to HD ready. HDMI High definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI)is almost the standard interface between home theatre systems and HD TV's. Usually a high bandwidth cable (capable of transmitting large amounts of uncompressed and digital data) is used to connect the HDMI port on the home theatre system or laptop to the TV. Check if your LCD TV has a HDMI port. Colors Check if the color reproduction of Red, Green and Blue is correct. Black should always be black! It should never be grey. Watch a colorful cartoon to see if there is no mixing of colors when the f...

Why do we have bigger houses, but smaller families .... more amenities but less time? Why do We have a higher level of education and more knowledge, but less common sense and competence to judge? Why do we have more experts on all issues, but even more problems. More medicine but less health. Why do we laugh too little and get angry too quickly? Why do we Watch too much tv and read too little? Why do we have multiplied our properties and estates, but we reduced our values and morals Why do we talk too much, but love too little. Why have we learnt how to make a living, but not how to live. We have years to live but yet can‘t add years to life. Why do we have higher buildings but lower tempers. We have wider streets but more narrow points of view. We spend more but have less. We buy more but enjoy it less. We went all the way to the moon and back, yet we can‘t cross the street to meet our neighbours. We have split up atoms but can‘t break down our prejudices. We build more computers to o...

The unreleased song - Kisi Ke Vaade Pe Kyu (The text in blue letters are links to those songs) “The Burning Train” was an album with songs belonging to unique genres. The title song by RD and Annette has imposing sounds from the Brass section and superb setting on Bass Guitar. The sounds of the passing train were recorded by RD himself on a train station! This song does not have an Antara. The next song “ Teri Nazar Hai Mujh Pe ” has Asha Bhosle crooning for both Parvin Babi and Hema Malini. For Parvin she goes Western and for Hema she goes classical. RD Burman has seamlessly fused in sounds of Drums, Guitars, Tabla, Flute and Sitar while retaining the same tune for both the actors. Another song “ Pehli Nazar Mein Humne To ” was another experiment such that the entire song is is sung by chorus of established singers. The female parts are sung by Asha and Usha Mangeshkar while the male parts are rendered by Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi. Another song “ Pal Do Pal Ka Sa...

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the donkey died last night." Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said: "Can't do that. I went and spent it already." Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey." The farmer asked: "What ya gonna do with him?" Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." (Note: To raffle is to sell a thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the same amount for a ticket) Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!" Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead." A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at...

I read this story on some blog some time back. They were just ordinary ants. But still, when they saw each other, the most significant thing happened. The male ant fell in love with the female ant. They were bonded forever on a shared sugar cube. Life, living in one corner of the house, was tough. They were forced to feast on the leftovers. Yet they were happy for their point of alacrity was not the food but each other’s presence while having it. Then came a time when even the leftovers stopped coming. “I'll have to go to search for food. There is no other option.” The male ant tried to explain his restless lover. “Then take me also with you.” “Try to understand, please. Some places might not be secured for you.” “Why did God do this to us? We were so happy together.” “Don’t worry. When I come back we’ll live together till eternity.” And so the male ant went away in search of food. Dawn to dusk the female ant kept waiting for her lover to return. But there was no sign of him. It is...
