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.

The CAT dream

Our future lies in our ability to dream big and live according to it. Come November and there’s this buzz word around - CAT (Common Admission Test). This is a test to filter out the best from the rest. It’s the first gateway to cross in order to knock at the doors of the IIM’s and other prestigious Institutions imparting management degrees in India. There is such a lot of cry about a M.B.A degree and that too getting it from a premier institute like the IIM’s seem to be the dream of every Indian graduate( At least among the gifted part of the Indian graduates) After many a months of preparations the CAT turns out to a heart-breaker for many. On the ‘make or break day’ many seem to give into the pressure in spite of their preparations and mock tests.CAT not only tests one’s mental ability, it also measures the persons time management skills, ability to perform under crunch situations and take quick and correct decisions. Overall, clearing the CAT is just one step forward in realizing an IIM dream. A dream which is for sure to redefine our lives forever.

Hope!!!

Let’s hope When, the entire world comes up against you, look up to me. When, sufferings alone can define your way of life, look up to me. When, the only known faces and your dear ones fail you, look up to me When, all the hands of darkness join forces to obliterate you, look up to me. When, death and the ghostly horrors of the past seem to haunt you, look up to me. I am HOPE. For the humanity wouldn’t have reached its current status without hope. Once you choose hope, anything's possible. And the optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. Hope has placed where we are today. So always keep this quality to sustain and flourish in this beautiful world!
