The girl next class !!!

This was the first time my friend showed her to me.I wasn't that much impressed about her looks.I didn't realize then,that i would die to have a glimpse of her in future.This proves that i was still human.So then, you should be itching to know her name.Her name was Harika!A name that didn't come in my mind for some time after.Then again fate has some strange ways of mocking at us.Unfortunately i met her again.I would say this because she started to cloud my thoughts and leave me sleepless for many a nights.It was a cultural event in my college.She was one among the team members in which i was a part too.Her eyes were like stars which had fallen from those heavens.Or did God make a mistake by implanting those pearls in her eyes!Either way i had a special attraction towards her.The girl who hadn't meant anything to me some time back was like an angel now.These do show the vagaries in human perception.Such emotional freaks we are!Alt least i was.


Then days passed on without much happening except for those script preparations and other stuff for the skit.I wanted to strike a conversation with her.So that something material can happen between us.God was on my side this time.I got some real time to speak with her.She wasn't that outspoken type of girl that every guy would love to befriend.Nevertheless i liked her.The next few days were really good.It seemed that a good friendship was blossoming between us.Days passed.We had come to the last day of our cultural events.I just went back to my home to have a good nap that night.I loved my terrace where those soft breeze would make me doze and those sweet scent of flowers would make me give up anything in life,though not harika!


The night became longer.I was hardly getting any sleep.I was a bit disheartened by the fact that the next day morning all this fun would be over.I tried to close my eyes to let at least the moon to sleep while i lay thinking of those stars in her cute eyes.I don't remember when i slept.I stayed in a colourful world covered with happiness alone.Those grey eyes and the dimple in her cheeks filled the entire place.


Then suddenly i could feel the pain.As though someone had struck me with a strong iron bar on my head.I could feel the heat rise up my spine.Ouchhh it was painful.I woke up from my sleep to only know that i was on the floor and not on my bed.The time was around 4 in the evening.Oh dear!I couldn't believe that all this was a dream, a day dream.Oh to my disappointment i realized the fact that i was in my summer vacation and the cultural event were yet to commence.Then what about Harika?Her sparkling eyes?It was painful to accept that she was also a dream.I wanted to stay in this wonderland and dream this dream over and over.I wished that i wasn't awake and all this were true.But fate had other plans and has made me fall!!!

The Biodiesel Plant

Jatropha curcas L., also known as purging nut, belonging to the family Euphorbiaceae, is a latex containing multipurpose plant with several attributes and considerable potential and has evoked interest all over the tropics as a potential biofuel crop. J. curcas is a native of Mexico and Central American region and was later introduced in many parts of the tropics and sub-tropics where it is grown as a hedge crop and for traditional use. It is well adapted to arid and semi-arid conditions and has low moisture demand. In the recent past, the oil crisis and depleting fossil fuel resource has rekindled interest in promotion of tree born oil species. Among the potential oil bearing tree species J.curcas has assumed importance due to its short gestation period, drought endurance, low cost seeds, high oil contents, easy adaptations on marginal and semi marginal lands, suitability as fuel substitute without any alterations to the existing engines and above all the plant size that makes seed collection more convenient.

The future might be pink for cricket!

Believe it or not by 2010 you will be watching a match live on your TV screen and guess what the ball in the bowler’s hands would make you feel that your television monitor has some problem. Because the ball looks the color of a dolls dress rather than white. That’s right, the days of pink has arrived. The first trial of a pink ball has been rated favorably by Queensland women who have made history by using one in an exhibition T20 match at the Gabba. And the MCC has plans to introduce it in their country’s one-dayers next year. The logic is that the visibility of the pink ball is much higher and the batsman can spot it a fraction earlier. If further tests prove that the color lasts longer, then the green signal for its use would be only a matter of time. With the latest T20 format being a sensational hit, pink balls too would provide the needed boost to spread cricket in parts of the world that have been still left unconquered by this great game.

It's Java everywhere !

Java is programming language developed originally by sun Microsystems. It is an object oriented programming language which has many a powerful tools that make it the number choice for most programmers and web developers. Java is platform independent that is, it can run on different platforms without the need to compile it again. This is done by java compilers which compile it into Bytecodes and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) interprets it. There is a type of java program called the applet. It is a type of application embedded in a web page. Java has better security features which make it the preferred choice for development of web pages.

Romance with colors

Does pink color charm you?? “Well then, you must be a girl”, this would be the immediate comment made by most people. For, this has been the color which most girls used to dress up their cute Barbie dolls when they were young. Pink is also associated with love, romance and the blush of a young girl’s cheeks. But, to classify pink as a girly color isn’t justifiable. I do know a lot of guys who love pink and what more to dress up in pink. Pink color stands for beauty and grace. Many poets have fell in love with pink and have sung many a rhymes fascinated about its beauty. But pink has always finds itself associated with femininity. So liking pink does mean that you are on the right side of the crowd, for it signifies fun, excitement and passion in life!

Universal truth

Is there something that can be called as a universal truth? The answer would be a doubtful yes. But one should always realize the fact that everything depends upon an individual’s perspective and no two persons can have the same notion about all the issues. So one thing that might be acceptable to one person will not always be acceptable to the other. Let’s consider the ‘existence of GOD’ as an example. There may be millions of people who think there is a super power above us, but still there are as many people who think otherwise. So anything and everything is only subject to an individual’s opinion. What may appear to be right to one person may be utterly be absurd to another. So we must always accept this diversity and live our life with the fullest appreciation for other’s opinions and respect their view-points.

RNA synthetic biology

RNA molecules play important and diverse regulatory roles in the cell by virtue of their interaction with other nucleic acids,proteins and small molecules. Inspired by this natural versatility, researchers have engineered RNA molecules with new biological functions. In the last two years efforts in synthetic biology have produced novel, synthetic RNA components capable of regulating gene expression in vivo largely in bacteria and yeast, setting the stage for scalable and programmable cellular behavior. Immediate challenges for this emerging field include determining how computational and directed-evolution techniques can be implemented to increase the complexity of engineered RNA systems, as well as determining how such systems can be broadly extended to mammalian systems. Further challenges include designing RNA molecules to be sensors of intracellular and environmental stimuli,probes to explore the behavior of biological networks and components of engineered cellular control systems.
