Smart is everywhere!

Two worlds - real and virtual. The real world is full of sensors - be it electronic or the five human senses. The virtual one, a building made up of humongous amount of codes - software which takes in all the data you feed it with, does some abracadabra and pops out some nice piece of information.


Everything which happens in the real world has a complementary action in the virtual world. If the temperature of your laptop goes above a certain point, the CPU fan automatically turns on and lowers the temperature.


Being Smart is the need of the hour. Japanese and Koreans have already taken a lead in the race of developing smarter electronics leave apart the real race. Samsung, a leader in the smart world arena, offers a variety of products in its smart portfolio - A television which offers sophisticated voice and motion control as well as face recognition technology apart from Gmail, Youtube and Facebook apps. Smart refrigerator, smart oven, smart cameras are other stakeholders of its smart portfolio.


Mobile phones, a category of electronic equipment which has seen a colossal growth in the level of smartness. From the basic purpose of calling and receiving calls to office on the go, the amount of smartness that tiny little handset has is enough to make a laptop jealous.  All cellphone manufacturers offers a variety of smart phones and it is this category which is and will be the lifeline for them.


Now consider this, You are driving, simultaneously talking to the co-passenger and all of a sudden a pedestrian comes in your way. With your attention diverted, you somehow fail to notice the jay walker. The next moment your car makes beeping sound with the picture of the pedestrian flashing on the display panel fitted inside the car. Or there is an intersection coming up and its a red light for your lane. An electronic voice in the most polite way says "It's a red light," if the driver was about to ignore a red light.


These cars not only receive information from sensors and transmitters installed on the streets but also transmit information to each other.  At present, there are cars which are smart enough to stop on their own, park themselves and swerve away from jolly walkers.  According to Toyota, preventing collisions, watching out pedestrians and helping senior citizens in driving will be the key to ensuring on road safety and hence drive growth.


Toyota has also developed a technology - sonar based sensors that help drivers avoid crashing while parking. The system not only tracks which pedal the driver has pushed - gas or brakes and depending on the situation warns him accordingly.


All these smart cars are in the testing phase and the success of these cars will need to be seen. Till then, Happy and safe driving.

Between odds and the ones!

It's odd how those who were complete strangers are the ones who are now the best buddies It's odd how those who never expressed their feelings while they were together are the ones who end up becoming a couple It's odd how those who show me the highest love  are the ones who expresses it the least in words It's odd how those who express the love in words  are the ones who end up hurting the most It's odd how those who botched up every damn thing are the ones who make you feel chagrined It's odd how those who plead for mercy, pardon are the ones who deserve it the least It's odd how those who are always smiling and make you smile are the ones who have overcome many griefs It's odd how those who have been through many griefs/heartbreaks are the ones who can always overcome the pain Probably, It's odd because everything can be related to time and space.. But for me, It's odd because I don't think its odd!(o

Ramblings Again!

Consider a situation where you are signing a pact with  chariness, lack of authenticity and selfishness. You might ruin, in fact poison the relationship even before laying the foundation stone. People with whom you are dealing with will have a hard time in the face of your  incredulity, they won't be disputed to rise to your level of expectations. Over the years, I've learnt one thing. O ne should prefer concentrating on the goodwill of mortals who are doing work with you. No matter what you do, where you go, you are bound to encounter those handful of people who will try their very best to disappoint to you but eventually you'll understand that is their sole purpose of life. One thing, which I've understood during PG course is the importance of an open mind and an open heart but that just increases the vulnerability.  Maybe, one should give others a chance to live up to our trust and others should not be on a hunt to try to cultivate trust in spite of knowing

A teardrop in the lake..

It was an unusual winter evening, she was sitting at the corner of a semi-frozen lake, looking at the patches of water with her panoptic eyes. I was on the other side of the lake, sitting on a bench under a maple tree, trying to write something but she took a majority of my attention. I could see her nose inhaling the intoxicating air from the lake. There were people in front of us, trying their luck at fishing. Without any expression - be it sadness or happiness, she was staring at the lifeless lake. I again tried to resume my writing but my eyes kept on looking at her. The sun was in its final stage of descend, the darkness had spread its arms, engulfing the complete surrounding. I could see apparitions of those walking around the lake, couples probably. There was no sunset in the corner of the lake, yet there was something in the whole environment, which made it picturesque. I collected my stuff, packed my bag and started to walk towards the other side of the lake. A few f
