Vijay For Victory

I am changing my blog’s URL to www.vijayforvictory.blogspot.com. When I started blogging, I was searching for the Vijay For Victory. But it was taken by someone at that time. So I was forced to take www.bkvijayaraghavan.blogpost.com.

But I always tried to get the VijayForVictory. Fortunately I got this URL today.

So I froze www.bkvijayaraghavan.blogspot.com and continue posting in the new one. The URL redirecting scripts will take care of bringing you to www.vijayforvictory.blogpost.com from the old URL.

SMARTBOARDs are the next generation blackboards which are used widely in educational institutions. Imagine if the smartboard understands what we draw on it. MIT’s AI lab took it further and they had come up with such a board which recognizes what you draw on the board. It is named as “Assist Sketch Understanding System”.

Two more demos are here Video1, Video2

One more master piece from A.R.Rahman.

Once there was an old man lived alone. He wanted to spade his potato garden. But it was very hard work.
His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.

The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren’t in prison.

Love,
Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

“For Heaven’s sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That’s where I buried the GUNS!!”

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen CBI officers and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son’s reply was: “Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It’s the best I could do for you from here.”

Moral of the story : No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart you can do it. It is the thought that matters, not where you are or where the person is.

Though I am not so much interested in Cricket, this audio made me laugh. I could not get the full audio of this show. But still I enjoyed it. Hope you will also like this one.
