Ok, I wanted this blog to get some "cool" ness factor. So, I created this character last night. I have named him "Witness" - the Drushta (which in Sanskrit means witness - and is the base for the name of this site = Drishtikone). This guy, unlike me does not have strong judgments. He just looks at the events/happenings - with some feelings nevertheless but not interfering. I do. By my thoughts. He will be weave himself in to the messages of this site and will remain our constant companion on this journey.. sometimes, I believe he will speak - he should I guess. But it is really upto him. I would be happy if he is on "my side" but then dispassionate as he is, I would be surprised if he actually cares for me and/or my thoughts/loyalties! 🙂 In any case, you may write to him on any topics that he appears on in the comments section. He remains a Witness to our present! Read more
One reader wrote that he/she likes the song choice on "Today's Song" section, and that I was not updating it more often 🙂 Thanks for keeping me honest! 🙂 I have changed it for today and I intend to be regular on this section, now that I know at least someone is really listening or taking note! 😀 Something about today's song: "Dil aaj shayar hai" This song was sung by Kishore Kumar picturized on Dev Anand for the movie "Gambler". It is one of my favorites. Why? Because of its innovative approach to the tune given the tough prose like lyrics by Neeraj. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or any pattern to it.. the song seems more like a conversation. And to make a song - and so soulful one at that - was the mastery of the amazing SD Burman! Read more
Stealth is a part of him! He created the first computer virus and many other things... noteworthy ones. Now he is taking on Google. In search engine technology. He has already got funding for USD 2 million from Baseline Ventures but is working out of his garage. He has a web site blekko. A small cartoon figure made in a garage adorns the web site! Rich Skrenta, who created the first computer virus (Elk Cloner), co-founded the Open Directory Project, and co-founded online news site Topix, may have bitten off the biggest challenge of his career - taking on Google. In search. He is not a big fan of Google pagerank, he says. But how he is going to tackle Google search? Read more
Don’t you know what it means really to love somebody to love without hate, without jealousy, without anger, without wanting to interfere with what he is doing or thinking, without condemning, without comparing – don’t you know what it means? Where there is love is there comparison? When you love someone with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your body, with your entire being, is there comparison? When you totally abandon yourself to that love there is not the other. Read more
