what can an electronic automated device do to the society? well, many things. It can be used as an entertaining source and at the same time as a life saver. It would be amazing to have something like that. But as i see several research projects and etc, it makes me believe that the future is definitely gonna get more electronic. Safety and privacy is definitely a concern but would it really matter? what do you think?

anyways... so the new iPhone is being bothering me... it sucks.. thats what i think. except for the fact that it looks cool, thers nothing more to it. I would so totally get it if it ran on microsoft... coz i cant even run it as a proper PDA. well not like i need one.. but still when i had an option to say yes, i said no. lol. was i stupid?!? i dnt think so. i saved some bucks for my dad.

i guess i'm gonna go now and do something else.

what is reality?

2007-11-17T01:15:00.002-05:00

so asusually i was talking to g. it was one of those conversations where philosophical stuff pops in. So, the question was, "What is reality?"
can anyone answer???

2007-11-17T01:15:00.001-05:00

Hi everyone!!! All is good. so, i deleted the recent posts. theres a reason to it. I figured i was being all emo abt my life! ok... so if u commented on one of those, please dont mind.

Recently, i've been doing much to help people. But is it worth it? i have no clue... well... my grand mom says not to expect anything which is not so human like. The thing i'm worried is, some people dont even know the worth of it. its amazing how some of the high school kids are so ignorant! well leaving that.

School is going cool! hah. pretty much stressful but making the most of it :D. [knock on the wood]. As i'm taking an extra online course now, i would say that its very flexible. Though i had trouble with it before, i think i'm back on pace. if anyone is taking the online course, just dont panic. its gonna be alrite as u progress thru.

apart form that, i'm encouraging the most silliest endeavours! haha. Do i need to say, i'm turning into the 5 foot something devil?!? lol. haha.

2007-10-21T11:32:00.000-04:00

Gosh! i'm so lazy.
i'm behind like 5 chapters in AP US history. i can't blame anything. i feel the effect of taking 5 APs. ugh! i gotta do some work!

P.S - happy dasara! :)

more school stuff!

2007-05-15T18:49:00.000-04:00

geez... school is so not fun anymore... w/e, its the end of year anyways... so i don't care! LOL... me and my randomness... i hope people are still checking this page... [hopefully yes! ]... okay... so exams and all are so stupid! Why do people have exams... high school is supposed to be fun! My advice to anyone who enters virginia is... stay in the borders of virginia... don't eneter virginia not u have to work ur head off! LOL... true!

I wanna watch 300, spiderman 3 and many movies are in my list... but yea... stupid AP exams are on the way disrupting the peace in my high school life. But on another thought... i wantedly i'm taking these courses... so i shouldn't complain about them! what ever...

Its been a long time since i posted a new post in this wonderful public journal... so i think i stopped where i was describing about VA. more to come... i don't exactly know on what... but yea... something is coming up!! heheh! :D!

You know u r an indian when.....

2007-02-18T19:54:00.000-05:00

Your dad is some sort of engineer or doctor.

Your parents say, "Dont forget your heritage."

You know what's going to happen in every Indian movie before it happens.

Your father and/or your grandfather have hair in their ears.

Your relatives' house smells like incense, mothballs, or bothYour parents say, "Calculus? I took that in 8th grade."

Your parents say, "You want a stereo? When I was your age, I didn't even have shoes."

Your dad pulls his socks up to his knees, you know, the ones with the blue and a pink stripe at the top.

Your entire family owns a tennis racquet.

You buy corn oil by the gallon.

You arrive one or two hours late to a party and think it's normal.

Everyone in your family has pet names that sound nowhere close to their real names.

You are standing next to the two largest suitcases in the airport.

You talk for an hour at the front door when leaving someone's house.

When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover that you are related to them.

Your parents don't realize that phone connections to foreign countries have improved in the last two decades, and still scream at the top of their lungs when making long distant calls.

There is a sale on an item so you buy 100 of them.

You hide everything from your parents.

Your mother does everything for you if you're a male.

You do all the housework and cooking if you are a female.

Your relatives alone can populate a small city.

Everyone is a family friend.

You're either going or went to a university as far away from home as possible.

You eat onions with everything.

You use chilli sauce instead of tomato ketchup.

You say you hate Indian films but you secretly watch them your parents.

You teach Westerners swearwords in your language.

You order Indian food in your own language to impress the people you're with but the waiter doesn't understand you.

You avoid public places when with the opposite sex, especially if there is an acquaintance within a 250 mile radius.

You or someone you know say "on the light" instead of "turn the light on."

You secure your baggage with rope.

You're walking out of customs with your trolley at the airport and you see all 25 members of your family who came to pick you up.

You go back to your parents' country and people treat you like a member of....the royal family.

Either you really like Indians of the opposite sex or you can't stand them.

Your mother measures wealth in gold and diamonds.

A horoscope must decide your wedding date.

You are sick and tired of answering questions about "the dot."

Your friends could not explain your religion to someone if they tried.

You couldn't explain your religion to someone if you tried.

Your parents push the concept of an arranged marriage on you and try and demostrate how well it works when they're not fighting.

You notice that whenever you go to another Indian's house, your parents always talk about work and business.

The second you pull out of someone's driveway, your parents start talkin...about them.

My Violin!! :)

2006-12-30T11:09:00.000-05:00

"Since the Baroque era the violin has been one of the most important of all instruments in classical music, for several reasons. The tone of the violin stands out above other instruments, making it appropriate for playing a melody line. In the hands of a good player, the violin is extremely agile, and can execute rapid and difficult sequences of notes." ---- Says Wikipedia!

Blessed are those people who can play Violin! They are soooooooooooooo lucky! God! Can I ever become a violinist???!!!??? I always have some or the other problem which stops me from playing my FAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVORITE instrument! I have my final chance now! But my dad don't really like me taking the classes right now...! coz its my 11th grade and I just don't want it to be too late when I realize that I lost my passion!! I know... I might sound stupid... I know that I have take my SATs this year and the upcoming year... I'm totally blocked with my AP courses... But if I miss this chance to learn the violin.... I can never look back! I can manage the whole thing... But convincing my dad is the hardest part in here!! LOL..! Hope he will say yes! ummm.... Well... My fingers are however crossed!!!

Back to school..... :( !!!

2006-11-05T16:34:00.000-05:00

Had a great Vacation .... Its sunday.... i have holidays on monday and tuesday.... Have to go back to school from Wednesday! It will be the same old routine life.... Wake up.... breakfast... school.... home.... homework till midnight.... wakeup early in the morning! OMGGG.... Snow will be an addition! I hate winter...! and the snow that come along with it!

I missed school for 1 week! thats enough to loose my grades...! OMG... I have to catch up on Trigonometry! I have no idea what my text book is talking about! my math teacher... Mr.McLean is going to be sooooo mad at me...! I promised him that i will be reading the Trig chapters and flow thorough sines and cosines during my vacation! hmm... But i never had time left for math! All I did in Canada is to walk with a camera in the downtown till the evening and sleep after I return back(i guess thats what vacation means... lol)!!!! Well anyway.... I'm gonna try my best this weekend to catch up with Trig, spanish vocabulario, English novel, History(scariestttttt!!) ....hmm... This is still the first quarter.... I can balance my semester grade in second quarter too... (i think so... O.o)

I have to read a novel by tuesday.... It's an interesting one.... "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue monk Kidd. It deals with Racism, Opression, feminism, motherly love, nature etc...!
It's a great novel!!!!!

keeping those scary assignments away from my mind, I now decide to log off and get some sleep to overcome the tiredness caused by the 10 hour long car journey!

Okay.... so bye bye!! ^_^!

Likhitha..... :)

Ottawa!!! (Day 1 ~ not much fun)

2006-11-02T19:30:00.000-05:00

The capital city of canada - Ottawa!!!
wowieeeee.... we went on wheels and drove 580miles!!! and we were in Ottawa!
Day - 1 ~ ~ ~ Ah! so i saw the board which said "Welcome to Ontario" .... with a bright grin, I asked my dad whether we reached ottawa.... from his answer, I learned that we were just few miles away! **GIGGLES**.... Do u think I was excited????? Yesssss, Indeed I was! It was my first visit to Canada. hmm... I felt asleep as it was 9PM. After 30 minutes, my sister who is a synonym for CHATTER BOX, with her vociferous uproar, yelled in my ears and finally succeeded in spoiling my sleep! I asked her what she want, she lowered her voice and asked me to look out of the window! woooooooow...... that was soooooooooo good!!!! I saw a great bridge!! Water and the lights.... its called the 1000 lights brigde! then I saved some excitement to see the rest of the city! It looked different, the downtown was just like India! the stores were very close to each other. I didn't see many similarities between Washington and Ottawa. Okay... so just glance around these pics...! those were few nice buildings that i noticed!

So.... Those are few pics taken from the car!
and i will surely be back with rest of the days! I assure u that the next post will not be as bad as this one.... OMGGGGG...... my momz yelling..... i gotto go sit by the dining table!!!
See you!!
^_^!

I can see cutie cutie little children skateboarding.... at the same time I can also see that they are making it more beautiful! How would autum be from a mountain top ??? like Appalachains???? hmm... Ponnder and you will say... Its going to be great!!! I thought so.... Well... Thats why we all headed to Appalacahins during the last weekend! It was really nice... I have beeen there before but this time... I took many many photos... Why don't u all glance around!

This Picture is taken from a 2000ft This picture is taken from a 1500ft

Anyways... I had a good time with my cousins in there...

Okay... i gotto go do my work now... seeu all later!!!! Adiosssss!!!

Back with a BANGGGGG!!!!!!!!

2006-10-06T20:12:00.000-04:00

Oh! I just realized it... I'm so sorry...!!!! :) I think its too much of suspense about what's happening with me... Well I'm not dumber than dirt to understand that I'm being overwhelmed with the school! Yeah...That's why I'm switching to a different lifestyle!!!! Which??? Did u ponder about that??? Well... I would love to make it a bit mystery! But will surely reveal it... IF and ONLY If it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So where did I stop typing about the anecdotes happening in my life?????? Oh! Yeah.. Just gave a glance down the previous blogs! I stopped with the Summer Chaos!! Okay... It's almost autumn now... I see the leaves turning to it's special colors of fall.... So I have a month to write about... Trust me.. I will never bore u all with all that stuff....!!!

Okay.... Let me just not talk about that 1 month!

Will tell u all about today!

Beep wake beep wake!!!! That's my alarm sound at 3:4:00AM... I turned the alarm to 3:43AM.... Then to 3:45AM....then to 3:50AM finally I was up by 3:55AM.....
I logged on to my laptop.... Checked my mail....! It was about 5 mins... Then opened my math text book.... It was about Trigonometry.... Oh! My..... It's the first ever time I'm introduced to Trigonometry....! It sounded soooooooooooo different! Then I was finding the graphs of those trig functions... I did math for a pretty long time....And I though who cares about it... And went back to bed by 6:30... And them my mom was yelling at me by 7:00.... WAKE UPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

For what on earth should it rain today????? OMGGGGG!!!! It was rainign so badly... And my freaking school bus...... I think it drives at 1 mile per hour!!! It takes suuuuuuuuuuuch a long time to cover from the beginning of the street to the end!

me and my friends M and A were cursing it and then finally got into the bus.... Sadly I had an umbrella in my hand!The bus was really soaking wet....! Everyone had their umbrellas... It was really bad being seated in a wet bus!

Well...Then I heartlfully accepted the austere day at school with lamenting work....! Anyway... It was nothing but routine school.... Had math... Spanish...English...Science....!!! Math was all confusing... But I picked it up by the end of the class... TRIG is scary! Spanish...! Well It wasn't that bad.... Had great fun in Chem.... Pretty okay English class!

It's Friday!!!!!!!!!! That indicates the next day is Saturday!!!!!!! wowieeeeee!!! Weekend!!!! This is a long weekend! Yes it is... Columbus day!!! Wow... I remember that poem.... "In 1942 Columbus sailed the Ocean blue... la la la la ... ta ra ra ra ra Santa Maria"

Let me sail through this long weekend! And will surely type something after that! :)

Summer Chaos - - The End!!!

2006-08-26T08:19:00.000-04:00

Days and Nights are simply skyrocketing.If not why will my brain go woooosh watching them pass so fast! Yes, I have to admit that I wasted half of my summer....And I regret it! But it's not my fault!

1st month of Summer : I was overly joyous for the fact that there won't be any more school year left and I was extremely happy for the 3 month summer break! With that happiness filled upto my neck slowly closed my eyes too! Yeah, And that made me waste first half month of my summer break! And then, I faced the terrible cooking experiences as my mom is in India to complete some work and bless my cousin's marriage! Hey, I can name them as "Cooking Terrors" Yeah...Really, For the second part of my 1st month summer was wasted for the Cooking alerts from my kitchen!

2nd month of summer : So slowly I was out of the kitchen terrors and started to feel the comforts of cooking....lol...This time I was careful enough to use salt, sugar and soda for the right purpose.... And this month I don't remember messing up the recipes with salt and sugar confusion as I did before!My dad's tea waas perfect and the curries were excellent!! Yeah...I got my title from someone.... "Liks - The doctor of the Kitchen" heheheh!!!
Now comes the second part! I was totally pissed off with the packing work that should be done for the planned shifting from Maryland to Virginia...Therefore the task was done with my outstanding work in packing things!

3rd month of summer : So,As you can expect...I was completely tired with packing and unpacking things in my new home! Now that I mentioned the Tiredness, I will admit that I was sick for few days! That's how it went for the first part of the 3rd month!

When it comes to the 2nd part that is the present time!! .... I joined my new school... Yuppie... It's not as good as Maryland's! Okay...Why to blame the school, I can say I miss my old school....!
After the appointment with my counselor, I got my new home work! Yemeeee !! I'm taking
AP World history!!! And few other academic classes like Pre-Calculus, Chemistry... The fun classes will be etymology,PE,Spanish!!!

Now that my schedule is perfectly fixed! I got my summer homework in the end of the summer where I have one week of time left! I have to finish readin a novel of 300 pages, Have to outline 200 Pages in my fat AP world history text book! And my homework is being so rude to me that it's refusing to get completed! Yes...Is this some sought of revenge???

So therefore my holidays are over......I'm already into my homework...And it sucks! The feeling is soooo bad that I can't play anymore...And I regret for wasting time! Oh! There comes the fear of my new school which is banging my nerves!!!
Whatever it is...My brain is actually being wise and good to me....It's predicting the positive outcomes! And I have my 100% trust in God!!!
Sorry that I can't hold my wit in this post! I'm completely swallowed by the fear of homework completion! Yes, I see homework everywhere...I feel like it's growing day by day and organizing is not helping me! Yup!
I see it everywhere....I dream of it too....Homework here....Homework there...Homework everywhere! OMG!!!! I can't feel anything else... Coz what I can think about is my Homework...And my thought process betrays me thinking beyond my homework!

I have Orkut for some sought of refreshment! Yes.... I take some break through it! Which usually cool my brain cells....

hmm...Now I hear my homework calling me...So I better get going...

Tune in soon...For some better stuff!!!

Cheers....Likhitha ^_^!!!!

August Avocation !!!

2006-08-16T16:54:00.000-04:00

Yes, I was eager to explore a new place. Which??? My Newest residing locality! Flitting is what I see with time!!! Yup! I'm drifting away along with it!!! But I wonder why don't it obey the 3rd law of Newton... It's not giving me any opposite reaction.... (eh?Youu got my point?!)WhatI'mm saying is, I don't want to face the "tinkle - ding - shatter - clink" after my school starts....Too much time going vain!

Ahem! So if you wonder where I was the whole week! We scheduled to make a move to a better place for certain specific reasons...! I was completely drowned with the packing work which made my body parts go sore!And later I have been soaked sinked and soped with the soreness! I was trying to be buoyant. But, what to do the force of soreness is very strong!

So Here I'm very active and strengthened ( enough to kick someone :P) !!!

I declared my respectful Salutations to my native land -INDIA On Aug 15 and reminisced the middle school memories of marchpast and me singing the National Anthem!!

I think that's it for now...
Will buzz ur attention after a couple of days with interesting Virginia experiences !!

Corrupted world!!!

2006-08-09T13:48:00.000-04:00

I was wondering if anyone is yet scared to live in this corrupted world! Wherever we site...There is some sought of terror attached to the place.... Why is this so...

It's even spreaded to Orkut!!! Why don't this threat never end??? Well if you all are amused why don't u check out in here

How much safe is it do u think to post ur pictures in sites such as google,Orkut,Yahoo,Flickr,blogspot,wordpress,livejournal????

Atleast after reading such stores....No one steps forward to post pictures...

I'm going to delete all of my pictures right away!!!

Waiting for your replies....!!

2006-08-06T07:07:00.000-04:00

Days are just passing... I still remember my last year's friendship day! No no... Not the last year's its the 2004's!!! Friends brought me those shiny smart friendship bands and tied to my wrist!! And it was the best time as per my remembrance....

So It's Aug 6.... Happy Friendship Day to everyone!!!

Nothing much with me... In this week I'm quite busy with household work and reading (a bit!!)...

I recently joined Orkut!!! I can't believe I met few people whom I thought I won't have any contact with them in my life again!!It feels good after talking to them! It's really a good place to meet ur old friends.... I also found my school community in it.... It's awesome...

Everything else is quite common.... Cooking is working perfect.... Mom is enjoying in India!! My cousin is getting married on Aug 6th! Hope she is not troubled with the rains in hyderabad!!

I watched few movies in the recent times.... The best ones are Mitr and Pink Panther....
Mitr is really a very touching NRI life.... And Pink Panther is too hilarious!!

Aug 15 ahead....

Then that's it for now.... I will be back later....
stay tuned.... :) :)

Time To Laugh :)) :))

2006-08-01T10:32:00.000-04:00

Here is something that can make u laugh for some time!! (atleast 2 seconds)

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are excessively mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually.

So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in themorning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat theyounger boy down and asked him sternly,

"Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response,sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open.So the preacher repeated the question in an evensterner tone,

"Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face andbellowed,

"Where is God?!"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, randirectly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him.

When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked,

"what happened?"

The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied,

"We are in BIG trouble this time.read the next line

.................................................

Aloha!!! Life is going pretty smooth!

I see Upgrades... Changes ...Progress ....Enhancements....Enrichments....Betterments...Revisions... Etc etc.,

I also see some weird things happening with me... Something like cleaning up my closets and room.... And importantly my wardrobe!!!(I usually make my sister clean my wardrobe..lol..)
I'm helping people and spending some time reading books.... At the same time organizing things at home and kitchen (remember???My mom didn't return from India yet!!) and also chatting with my friends and spending some time in Gym (greatest thing).... lol...

I'm actually reading few books dealing with poetry which are ablazing me!! Poetry have this flare which overwhelms every one....

Then went shopping.... Everyone were happy except my dad... Any guesses??? That's because he have to face the credit card attack!!!! lol....

Maryland is getting hotter everyday!! I think it was 89Farenhiet ..... But we still had a hot hot veggie pizza!! Really.... That's a bad idea... Never eat a hot pizza on a sunny day.... It makes ur tongue taste weird!!

I started to explore VA lately..... I visited my cousins place in McLean and it was nice.... They were really great.... Ofcourse they are best.... (Raga and Prithvi) .... hmm... If they r reading this blog... Just wanna tell them that I had a great time in their house....!!

I installed this google desktop!! Its actually pretty comfortable though it kinda messed my desktop theme!! Its having so called gadgets and many add ons.... And a nice personalized homepage!! Google maps is the most important webpage for me though mapquest serves to some extent!!

Well I think that's it for now... Don't wanna outpost too many things....

Tune in soon for some more posts!! :) :) :) :) :)

Likhitha says Adios!! for now ^_^!!

ABCDs

2006-07-27T14:16:00.000-04:00

American Born Confused Desi Escaped From Gujarat; Housed In Jersey; Keeping Lotsa' Motels Named Omkarnath Patel; Quickly Reached Success Through Underhanded Vicious Ways; Xenophobic Yet Zealous

HEH HEH!! This is so much fun to type!! I recently came across the whole history of ABCDs.... I never memorized the whole thing but this time... I took time to memorize it....

It sometimes stands as a wonderment to me.... Leaving the pleasant life in India and coming to United states.... When we finally point the reasons its nothing but just a compromise....

usual blah blah stuff

2006-07-23T23:46:00.000-04:00

After a tiring and messed up week... We visited the Chesapeake Bay(North Beach) ....

It was a good experience as I finally dicovered a plan of rescuing ourselves when it rains during the trip! Yup!!! Now that I mentioned the "rain" .... You can expect me say that, it rained during our visit but it was after we enjoyed our play thingie in the water!! As a great lover of Rain I managed myself to enjoy in the strangest possibility :) :) :) ... It would have been more fun if my mom was there with us... i miss her...

I went with my dad and one of his friend's family! They were really great in spending time with us... and they have 2 cute and sweet little daugthers... Kavya and Yasha Sri... it was a pleasure to spend time with those cuties...

hmm... Then we had a Pizza and watched The Terminal movie... it was fun.... that was the end of the day....

I'm still waiting for something exciting to happen.... actually there had been not much fun nowasdays though!!

After a long time i decided to say a hi to all of the Gods in the Shiva Vishnu Temple,Greenbelt!! Yeah..... had a good Darshan(Visit) .... it was plesant after a sad incident...

My dad was talking about my college and stuff... but was tensed up and didn't say a word!! i just nodded my head to whatever he said.... My fate decides it all... just working on it what ever that seems to be the best...

Our new locality in Virginia wasn't that bad!! there are few good stores nearby and the surroundings seemed pretty ok ....

hmm... i should prepare myself to leave Maryland!

So thats all for now... enough of blah blah blah!!

Catch u soon... Stay tuned...

Likhitha (*_*) !!!

Inviting Invisibility !!!

2006-07-21T22:40:00.000-04:00

Life is always a mystery. Can it go any worse than being imperfect???? Its always a wonder when people show their smiles which are to be pretended.What can be more worse than anything when a person cannot show his/her abilities of expressions at the right time??? Are there any reasons that could end this question??? Can I have an invisible blanket as Harry Potter had in J.K.Rowling's book??? There is a reason for me to choose such an option!! Yes, There are perfect reasons for me to wish a temporary invisible life...

Why do people think that I can come with a solution to a chaotic situation???And why is that I have to be blamed if the solution that goes wrong or gets messed up for some uncertain and unacceptable mishap???? Wait a minute... Where I'm I leading myself to??? Why does all of the bad things happen to me??? Why do I have to leave the dearest ones for no reason than to accept a chaotic life??? Why??? Why me???

Things aren't working fine with me.... Specially, from July 19 2005.

When so many of the other kids of my age are enjoying their life as simple as it is.... Why can't I ????? What's the problem with God giving me that chance??? Or provide me the choice??? Oh! Yeah .... Right now... Who are reading this post may think that I sound like a spoiled breath.... Nay! It's not a good judgment... For sure there are some reasons that are haunting for answers, solutions, better strategies... But what can be my response???? You think a question mark??? Nope... It wouldn't help.... I'm still searching for the right answers and the right paths.... Yeah!

Why do few people misunderstand the right explanation???? Is there something called a "REAL" Joy once again??? Few people though very dear and known from a very long time can't get it how much they mean to someone.... You may think that rolling down tears may help! But they usually don't... atleast in my case...

If worlds collide.... I'm I the reason???? If saying truth hurts some one..... Does the fault be mine??? Why should I stand as having an Idle mind????

Why is that I'm not having the same life I used to have??? Why is that I have to wish for a blanket that turns me invisible???
Ah! Come on now.... I'm I making this more worse???

Let me signoff before I outpost too many of my thoughts....

Likhitha.... :(

Conventional Stuff ( Can be crazy too...)

2006-07-14T23:03:00.000-04:00

Ever since I started this blog, I've been updating it for every alternate day. But much happened this week which kept me away from blogging.

SMITHSONIAN

It was a long time ago that I was planning to visit local museums... So anyway... I checked out one of the Smithsonian museum... The National Air and Space Museum. Its naturally eye rolling....!! It was really good... But it was for a very short time and I wish I visit once again...

The whole museum was some what partitioned to two sections.... One being Aviation and the other being the Space.... We didn't visit the space section...But have been to the Aviation area... It was amazing... They had a huuuuuuuge collection of Air-crafts...!! No wonder... Its one of the world's best museum.

INDIA

I was very happy for the fact that Agni III had a success in its 3500 to 5000 Kms Ballistic missile test fire.

Sadly, INSAT-4c wasn't a success.... We will surely make it up....

TERRORISM.... I was quite starled with the terrors in mumbai... Almost 200 people killed and many injured... What worse can happen.... Hope God have some mercy left...

!!! ME DRIVING !!!

Yeah!!! I'm learning to drive and get my license after few months.... It was really a great time I had controlling the Accelerator and remind myself that if anything goes wrong my friend BREAK is always with to co-operate. Not very short it was when I turned the steering well right and changed the gear to take a "U" turn.... That took me a whole lot patience....

Anyway it was a splendid 45mins learning lesson from my dad....
I can surely say that my dad was much worried more than me who turned on the car engine for the first time.... My Inner me was however managed talking with my brain.... Giving me all of the instructions I need to get from my nerves....

Virginia will have to take care of its people... No Kidding.. coz I will surely get my license... HE HE

RANDOM STUFF

hmm... Something random would be like confusing the Pizza Hut guy..... ha ha ha.... Truly speaking.... I was so much scared when my cousin revealed the plot.... Its that we never had a coupon for $8.99 Large Pizza... As that's the most common pizza coupon, and my friend being the trickiest one... Managed to convince a bad actor like me and made me tell a lie... Well this would cause nothing to the pizza hut guy... coz I took the coupon with me many times but they never even cared enough to record it...

But this time... We didn't had a coupon and we pretended that we had it.... Unfortunately the guy asked us for the coupon.... I gave a baffled and perplexed expression and answered him in a confused tone... "aah! I kinda forgot the coupon... do u want me to run 5 miles and get you the coupon???" he gave a puzzled look and told me that was fine....
HEH HEH!! The pizza was really tasty... Well its the same pizza that I've been used eating from years...But it was a different taste as its been saved with a lie... !!!

And many more such crazy things happened this week... :) :)

Then my SAT preparation is going fine without any laziness.... and I brought few books from the library to entertain myself and I ofcourse have loads of work that I can get tired of .... and I have my Blog to relax with... I have Aditi to chat over phone.... Friends in India are always available to chat to kill my boredom.... I have my cooking experiments to laugh on....I have my Messed up room to shout at me to dress it up well... I have my sweet notebook to provide Music....

Therefore...

Alls well that Ends Well....

Will be back to update my Chronicles...

Likhitha.... ^_^!!

This Week---Overview!!

2006-07-07T20:40:00.000-04:00

WARNING: I warn u, I love to write ; a LOT!!! Check my previous posts!!!

UPDATE ON THE ABOVE WARNING: I love to write, but I don't actually intend troubling my readers by giving them the difficulty to search their topics of interest! Cool huh???
that's why I came up with this new idea of arranging my blog into different sections....

Try reading this.... And tell me if it works or not.....

OVERVIEW:

You all wonder what happened with me this week???Well, A little bit of that, A little bit of this and A little bit of that and this....Hmmm.... Yeah.... Sure that there are few things that I can write on this blog!!

AMIGOS: My friends!!! As I mentioned before they r the coolest people on the mother earth!!! Nothing much happened with Indian friends.... They are quite busy with their Intermediate (11th and 12th grades). July 14th is Priya's Birthday( hope I don't forget to wish her). I had a lil conversation with rishika which really made me happy this week!! It was obviously a long-distant call and I didn't care on speaking for 30 mins!! Everything about the general enquiries and spotlights that made us feel special!

The one with me right now... Aditi pretty much surprised me with her arrival!! I didn't expect her.... But I was really happy to receive her! Yeah... We had fun going through the horoscope and speaking some blah blah blah stuff on upcoming Bollywood Music.I posed saying about the recent activity that I'm doing.... COOKING.... And sadly I didn't perform to her expectations and failed the test of cooking.... SO SAD :( .... And therefore DECIDED TO KILL MYSELF BY JUMPING INTO A FULL WATER SPOON.... Yeah!! :) :P :) :P .... But later dropped as a spoon would be too much.... I don't deserve to die in such a big water pool!! What about a water bottle cap??? Is that a good idea???

Todd was totally into that rescue team... Nothing to my surprise... he continued his service and now got a job as a lifeguard!! Emily designed her new room and its quite clean and neat and whatever that suits to be good. I think she is happy.... Others???? No idea... I Think they r too busy with their summer plans!!!

MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT: "kabhi Alvida Na Kehna" ----- Its music really rocks!! Its the best music that I heard in 2006.songs are really splendid enough to give a try!

"Godavari"--- heard that its a good movie... But have no idea on when I can get a DVD... hmm... Waiting.... Music wasn't that bad...

"Superman Returns"--- Heard there are not too many stunts --- Superman with out the extra jumps and bumps???? never imagined.... Well heard that there's something included about Space.... I didn't watch it yet.... Its still in my list...!!

One more such film is the Walt Disney's "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN-Dead man's chest" waiting to find a chance that I can hang out to watch Orlando in this movie...!! Lets see...What happens...

STUDY TIME : well, nothing much in this category... Just going through a website for SAT preparation.... number2.com .... Its pretty good and advisable to refer....

Begging my dad to teach me VB.net and ASP.net .... for which he is quite busy... so just brushing up something that adds up the list...

any ideas???

SPORTS : Soccer has driven people crazy in the past weeks. But what is the history of the game?

IT Trends: Bar codes --- smart symbols that speak

Bar codes reinvent themselves to challenge radio tags as a viable tracking technology

The bar code is a machine-readable representation of information in a visual form Â most commonly in the widths and spacings of printed parallel lines. These were read and interpreted by basic laser-based scanning devices. Today such code systems have become very common, on the labels of virtually every mass consumer item and Indian shoppers are used to bar code scanning systems in super market checkouts, in the airline tickets that they can book online and print at home, on the back covers of printed books to hold the International Standard Book Number (ISBN)....
But the hunger to store even more information has led to the bar code reinventing itself for a new era: Linear so-called 2-D bar codes, which can boost the information capacity of a given space over ten-fold.

weekend plans aren't really special except about visiting the National Air and Space Museum....

Sothat'ss it for now... Adios...

July 4th ( Independence day)

2006-07-05T14:18:00.000-04:00

Its the one who controls the seasons run, the one who is the cause of late school boys go sour, the one who rises from east, Its the "Sun" who said hello to me and through windows and curtains called on us and bought back those staggering reminders of triumphant leaders who made this day infallibly memorable for the rest of the centuries.

United States being a home away from home, It's my responsibility to mention the respectful salutations on Independence day.

Its a day with friends and family, with remarkable and funfilled moments. It was pretty good with limited work and enough of time to go over all my mails and to open IM windows of my friends and exchange general well being news and few highlights ignited in our lives.

Its important to mention the magnificent launch of The Discovery Space Shuttle by the Kennedy Space center at 2:38 PM (EST). Though watched the launch on a T.V show, it starled me with its staggering lift-off through the fluffy clouds separating from its rocket boosters and flying high up into the sky where it floats to a zero gravity.

I was stuck with the astonishment for the modern marvel where it caught its speed to 15000 miles per hour. In short... I was overly joyous that my joy had no bounds.

As the day welcomed the dusk, It was time for the striking fireworks on July 4th.

The first-rate regalement would be mine if I had been to the beautiful, yet exciting display. Sadly we dropped the program for, the affection showed by the unasked rain.Well, I somewhat missed the merriment.

Later I happily invited the moon and enjoyed my bed time.

Closing for now...
Likhitha....

With an all new "me"

2006-07-04T22:14:00.000-04:00

Okay!!! So I think I surprised many people with a whole new entrance giving my blog a totally new assurance(good or bad ?!?!?)...A new template and a new site description and ofcourse it would be my bad if I don't mention the blog title....!!!hmm...

Last weekend stood as an absolute infallible memory in my cerebrum.Why???? You ask me... For letting me realize the value of certain important chores that I actually should drag myself into...!!Let me make it clear... Last week wasn't really quite routine, that I usually face...It was an anomalous week with all sorts of weird creatures from best friends to crazy living dirt :(. But they are all part of my life and I enjoy for being their part in return it looked like everyone ganged up to pull me into the pool of confusion, amusement, call-attention, retrospection leaving me as an optionless HomoSapien.But it was quite benevolent.That surely made my brain cells go wacky.

And to assist these unpredictable weird creatures there came the terror that I have to face with cooking...!! Ha...That's really a big thing to deal about. Well without any amusement (I hope) people may agree with me really hard for a 15 year old girl to look after all the things at home when she gets really tired up with the hectic load of work that she already planned and prepared for. Please note that I don't intend to say that I can't take care of all the things but I need some time.... To settle back, to relax, to chat, to study my interests, to prepare for miscellaneous exams etc,etc,etc.Works seemed to grow day by day staying aside as pending works. While I discovered that organizing things all together seemed to be no use.

After getting too busy I dragged my sister into this work! I can redefine my expressions with a smile. Its always good to have someone's help when u r really tucked up.... Soon as I was out of that so and so mentioned pool, I explored the things happening around.Thought I was doing some strange mistake that I never did before. What is it??? Well is that because I left India??? And is United States bringing out a new me taking away the old one??? Well I did manage to stay under my control, though things were little odd... Though I didn't actually give any importance to few of my good friends, they've been the best of their possiblility to me... and I apply my sincere apology.

Now I'm on this peak of realization that I can assure everyone that I won't repeat the mistake and I'm now the same old likhitha where people used to spot me as the center of wit and humor...
Simplicity is always my choice... That's the reason i changed my template and as u will observe me... I'm not going to publish anything beyond my experience...
Trust me I'm much organized and feel like a fantasy character who is managing all of her work by herself staying with a rested mind filled with peace and strength.

My Blog...

2006-07-04T06:37:00.000-04:00

It is so called a Self-discovery which made me ponder about the blah blah blah stuff I write in this blog!! Yes, I realized the fact... Yeah... That which fixed my mind to change everything in this blog... Its that I discovered the reflections of this blog don't exactly match my ideas and thought process...

My first though was... Why I'm I writing this blog?
Natural tendency of my brain reveals the fun that I'm having with this blog... That's not the only part that I have to take under the hood of my considerations... There are few other things that makes someone's blog special.... Its the content of the blog that makes the reader think about a certain situation... It's something that should be really exciting and should be written in the way that we actually feel it... Brain should be accompanied with few other things something like a good heart...

My second thought was... Why do I have to change this blog details and writing style???
After feeling strange about my wired thoughts .... I kept my brain busy for a while to think about my writings... I feel that this blog and the posts I publish don't reflect my ideology...
that tells u the reason why I decided to do this...

My third thought was... What I'm I going to do to get back the things that my blog seems to be missing....!!
Come on... Why will I have to tell u things before hand... And what's the thrill in doing that??? HA HA... Wait and See...
there's something surely going to be new...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something that came across my mind : Think Before you act... And act as u thought... ^_^!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cheers....

A casual day...

2006-07-01T19:36:00.000-04:00

Its the Last Friday in June.... We all waited for this Friday from a very long time and making interesting plans for this exciting weekend... With crowdy stores and tempting deals ....uhh... I love shopping.... When it comes to new technology... I'm always excited and will be eager to know how things work... I was going through the CompUsa website and found few pleasing deals.... I visited the store and it was fun looking at all of the good deals and commenting the new technology....

As its the long weekend... Planning to visit the fireworks.... The coolest thing is that my friend Todd and his rescue team is arranging the parking facilities for Columbia....

I'm not actually that happy though... My mom isn't with us and I don't like it when my mom is not with us when we go out to partay....!!

One more interesting thing that I came across when I was browsing through wikipedia....
GUESS WHAT??????
Its about my Zodiac sign...... I'm a Sagittarian.... Yup!.... The Archer.... Okay! Here's what I actually found about Sagis...

Optimistic and freedom-loving
Jovial and good-humored
Honest and straightforward
Intellectual and philosophical

Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy, versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the physically familiar. They enjoy traveling and exploration, the more so because their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many disappointments without being affected. They are honorable, honest, trustworthy, truthful, generous and sincere, with a passion for justice. They are usually on the side of the underdog in society they will fight for any cause they believe to be just, and are prepared to be rebellious. They balance loyalty with independence.

They have both profound and widely ranging minds, equipped with foresight and good judgement, and they can be witty conversationalists. They love to initiate new projects (they make excellent researchers) and have an urge to understand conceptions that are new to them. They think rapidly, are intuitive and often original, but are better at adapting than inventing and are at their best when working with colleagues of other types of character that compliment their own. They are strong-willed and good at organizing, a combination that gives them the ability to bring any project they undertake to a successful conclusion. Their generosity can be balanced by their extreme care at handling their resources.

Some Famous Sagittarians:
Sir Winston Churchill (November 30, 1874)
Ludwig van Beethoven (December 16 or 17, 1770)
Mark Twain (November 30, 1835)
Francis Albert Sinatra (December 12, 1915)
Jim Morrison (December 8, 1943)
Britney Spears (December 2 )
Brad Pitt (December 18)

So that's what I found about sagittarians.....

Okay! Will close the post for now.... Will be back soon......

Have a Good One..... ~_~!!

What's SCIENCETEIN ....

2006-06-30T22:34:00.000-04:00

I'm Extremely happy due to the permanent death of Biology class in my life...! HA HA... Sounds strange huh... Yeah.... The word Sciencetein actually works only for Physics and chemistry.... When it comes to Biology... I would say nahhh!! Whether you all like it or not.... I'm overly joyous about this interesting fact... One of my friend came forward with a general doubt on a disease called Chikenguniya.... What all I know about the disease is that its caused by a mosquito... and when I answered her question ,she came up with a more specific one : " What kind of mosquito and what is its Lifecycle?" Raising my eyebrows I replied her saying ....."This is the reason why I hate biology!!!" hmm...! Stunned with the wiered reply.... She gave a big grin... The expression which I didn't expect... She asked me about the word sciencetein in my blog introduction... Well I think its clear now.... Yeah! I'm not very much interested in Biology.... SCIENCETEIN is just the word that I created for my blog to rhyme with Likinstein. Likinstein is the combination of two words... Likhitha and Einstein.... ! Yeps.... I'm a huge lover of Albert Einstein.... LIKINSTEIN is a 10 letter word originated in the sense of my creativity as LIK+INSTEIN....!!

No Offence is expressed towards Biology... Cuz I do value the subject and I do know the importance of it. Its just that I'm not interested in biology as I'm curious about physics... Yeah... That's what I want to mention... Just to prevent negative comments from biology lovers....

TROI TROI TROI.....FLASH BACK..... Can u see the black and white spirals ???? (sign of flash back...ha ha ha).... Yeah! Flashback to 2003....

Those were the days when I was doing my 8th grade and when we had some stuff that dealt with agriculture,Weeds,Machines,and the crop diseases etc etc .... That stuff really freaked me out and that's the time when I developed this abnormal dislike towards biology.... Well, I never lost my grip in biology though I didn't like it.... But as far as to my memory I was never into the subject with curiosity and anxiousness as I was into Physics and chemistry... Its from that time when I actually discovered the fact that I completely lost my interest in Biology...

I love Anatomy though... I still have my good opinions towards few parts of biology.... hmm... Hope this cleared everyone's doubts on the word Sciencetein , Likinstein and my interests towards Biology...

I didn't intend to hurt anyone with this post.... If I did hurt some of the biology lovers.... I APOLOGIZE ....

I will get back to this blog later...

Stay tuned.... :) :) :)

?????

2006-06-28T11:30:00.000-04:00

Anything interesting happening to anyone in this summer????Any plans???How are everyone getting along with holidays????

What about india???how is everything in there???? Any exams coming up in St.Pious??? hmm.....what about the Junior Colleges??? Vikas Junior Coll,Narayana Junior Coll and Chaitanya Junior Coll???? Riiiiiiiiiish what about u???

Holidays....!!!

2006-06-25T12:26:00.000-04:00

The leaves on the branches sing softly in the breeze, The shadows dance on the grass,The sunlight hits everything with a shining glow, The butterflies model their jewels for everyone to see While the grass reaches up towards the sky water hums a sweet lullaby Until the wind catches the momentand moves it alongThen the sun sets, saying goodnight.

That's when it all beginsThe stars, swinging in time,The footsteps of animals,gently wandering to and fro,The moon suddenly awakens to say hello,and all to soon, goodbyeAnd the day comes to life once again .....

But whatever it is... most of the people agree that Holidays are the happiest days.... I had the same feeling till yesterday... But I can't take them any more.... Oh! My god.... I still have 2 more months.... It's kind of routine... Well it's not that I'm not having fun. But I'm worried that I'm letting the precious time go vain...!! I want to learn something... Well after discovering what to learn... I realize that I'm interested in website development... ! Thought it's really cool... My target was HTML.... Then something else....

HTML is pretty easy... It took me 2 days to learn the whole content.... I should say thanks to the W3schools.org... that's a pretty cool website I really learned a lot of things from it....

As my mom is in India right now ( as I mentioned before...) me and my sister , we both are home alone... Well my sister is kind of cool but addicted to T.V. and that to Disney Channel....

I'm spending most of the time on internet.... happy to mention that I'm spending 3 hours a day for online SAT preparation and 1 hour for online ChemistryPreperation....!! Editing my blog is the most interesting thing but sad to say that I may not find time to edit my blog once I start my school....Well I'm sure that I would try my best...

I can't believe that I'm going to change my school.... Once I start my school, 11th grade is going to be a whole new adventure .... You can expect me to post all of the crazy things that happen everyday... Ha *excited*.....

So this is how it goes.... Wake up.....Fresh up..... Breakfast....Chat with friends....SAT Prep ....Lunch....Website Development.....Online Chemistry Prep ....2 hours rest....Edit blog......Phones....Neighbor's....Chat with Dad....Dinner....Bed time.....

that's my routine life....

I will be back ....

Stay connected......

Expressions... :)... :| ....:(

2006-06-23T19:54:00.000-04:00

Most of the times we don't mean to talk a lot...That's the time when they overtake our face and creates a whole new meaning.... @_@!! .... EXPRESSIONS....

Wuuuuhh!!!

Smile.... Anger... Sorrow... Grin.... Blush... Smug.... Sigh... Confusion.... Cry..... Laugh..... Worried.... Surprised.... And the list goes on. 'Cuz there are a gazillion of them.

Just hoping to satiate the queer morbid curiosity of some of my readers about the word.....

I get a Summer job with a good salary.... I would be saying " Partaaaaaay" and would be excited......

I decide to give a party and my friend drops out.....
I would be like " Oh! Man..... Whyyyyy???"

If My Friends from India or my 8th grade social studies teacher Mrs.Reddy ask me for an online chat then I would be like.... " Cooool...This is going to be fun"

After watching a movie which has a similar story like Swades or the new video from A.R.Rehman (Eg: Jana Gana Mana....) I would be like... "hmm...I miss India"

I get 4.0 GPA in my final Semester then I would be like..... "woooowwww!!!"

Well there are many more moments when u use expressions instead of words....
Some times they change attitudes too...
Trust me they do work.... 'Cuz people value them....

Smile is the cutest expression that I ever accept...

Therefore.... Smile....Smile...Smile....And did I mention Smile???? Well! KEEP SMILING ^_^!!!

NOTE: Smile is Contagious....But there's nothing bad in spreading it.... :) :) :) ....

Hyderabad (India) To Maryland (USA)

2006-06-14T18:22:00.000-04:00

BeBeBeeeep...BeBeBeeeep....
Does that sound familiar???? Yeah! Most of you will be right....That's the sound of my alarm clock..... I usually start my day with that sound. Well that day I was lazy and was pretending to act as if I was still asleep. Likhithaaaaaaaaa..... That's my mom yelling at me as it was 8AM.i still pretended that I was deeply asleep!! Well I heard my sister talking about my transfer certificate that I have to collect from my school! Well I showed a great deal of Determination....."Won't get out of my bed.....At anypoint!!"...... ~ RING RING ~ Got a call from my best friend rishika which actually made me blush and looked like I can't pretend anymore. Ha Ha! But I still cursed ADITYA ( Sun God) for not resting for a little longer time in the eastern countries and partially CHANDRA(Moon God) for his good bye.

Ok anyhow I got ready and was searching for my Spectacles.....Oh there.....They are....On my study table....... The safest place in my messed up room.......On that particular day..... it was actually hotter than the usual summer days in Hyderabad. I HATE SUMMER.For the number of trees present in our colony it was difficult for us to find some cool breeze or a little shadow.

Well, I started from my house at 9:30AM and did few things on collecting few details on the recquirements inorder to pack our luggage. That went well.....I returned home and recognized my relatives voices from the Elevator itself! I met everyone and started feeling strange about something......Well I don't really know what that something was.....I'm quite sure that I was feeling bad.....

~RING RING~ got a call from my dad and took a list of books that he needed...... HIT THE ROAD once again.... I was happy about that though.... I can spend a little more time outside with Hyderabad.......Went to Koti and got the books..... OOOOps.... I forgot about my transfer certificate.... God! I discovered the fact when it wad around 2:30PM .....Took my aunt and went to my PARADISE (school)...... I collected my transfer certificate and met one of 8th grade teacher......Felt happy......Then once again I met all of my friends......... I can feel the tears in my eyes..... I never cry.....That's how people remember me.....Gosh! Tired with all of those stereotypes.......Hmm...I'm always available for my friends......People usually come and gossip.....I never broke the code of silence and never revealed anyone's secrets!!! I would patiently hear them out, give a smile and an understanding nod, and reassure them. I don't remember holding a grudge on anyone and I'm always that someone,the one people usually feel comfortable to talk to......Well whether I liked it or not I was always that someone.....

I was somewhat determinant on that day for most of the things.....Even with my tears......Spoke with my little group of friends......I felt the force of my tears on my eyes....Looked up at the roof and took a strong breath into my lungs......(that's what I always do whenever I try to control my tears).......Didn't had the capacity to see my friends......coz I was sure that I will cry....Left the place and was out of the Principal's corridor....... *WAVES*.....To the school and all of the dear ones who supported me and trusted me....

I went back home with my aunt and answered all the phone calls and got hooked up with a call from one of the VIP of our school.....Spoke with her for a verrrrry long time and it was almost 11:45PM when I have to stop speaking with her and at that point I felt sad.......It was that time when I prepared to carry all the memories of my childhood in that city......It was that moment when I cursed the time for flying so fast like a bird in the sky.....Well I remember one word......TEMPERANCE....." This too shall pass"....... I was into the car by 12 mid night. Gave a glance at my friend olive's waves.....Wasn't prepared to leave her.....She was my strong support.....The car started.....We passed the the street where secunderabad St.Anns is located.....it was a moment that I realized that I will never turn back to this school for quizmaster challenges and I didn't care about showing my tears to my mom and cried for a long time ......I realized that I looked at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport's entrance..... Cleared my tears...... All of my relatives were there in the airport.....Didn't accept the fact that I won't speak with my sweetheart(Grand Mom) directly until for a long period of gap......Didn't bother to cry......As I atlast realized that there would be no use of my dropped down tears.....That's it..... Spotted my terminal and got inside the fight holding all the memories closer to my heart...... Sun slowly descended on the horizon, in a blaze of fire and orange and a billion colors in between......Entered the land of immigrants.....UNITED STATES.....

Vehicular Pollution problems in India

2006-06-13T13:58:00.000-04:00

There are three broad sources of air pollution from human activities: stationary or point, mobile, and indoor. In developing countries especially in the rural area, indoor air pollution from using open fires for cooking and heating may be a serious problem. Industries, power plants etc. are the cause of stationary air pollution. But in urban areas – both developing and developed countries, it is predominately mobile or vehicular pollution that contributes to air quality problem. The worst thing about vehicular pollution is that it cannot be avoided as the vehicular emissions are emitted at the near-ground level where we breathe. Pollution from vehicles gets revealed through symptoms like cough, headache, nausea, irritation of eyes, various bronchial problems and visibility and are due to discharges like CO, unburned HC, Pb compounds, NOx, soot and aldehydes, among others, from the tail pipes of vehicles.

VEHICULAR POLLUTION

1.High vehicle density in Indian urban centers.
2.Older vehicles predominant in vehicle vintage.
3.Inadequate inspection and maintenance facilities.
4.Predominance of two stroke two wheelers.
5.Adulteration of fuel and fuel products.
6.Improper traffic management system and road conditions.
7.High levels of pollution at traffic intersections.
8.Absence of effective mass rapid transport system & intra-city railway networks.
9.High population exodus to the urban centers.

VEHICULAR POLLUTION CONTROL

1.Augmentation of public transport system
2.Mass Rapid Transport System may be considered for the fast expanding and major urban areas in the country.
3.Incentives and regulations affecting vehicles with a view to reducing the rate of growth in ownership of personal vehicles.
4.Reduce congestion through traffic planning and management.
5.Also, construction of express highways linking major urban areas should be undertaken.
6.Greater promotion and use of alternative fuels such as CNG/LPG/Propane/ battery operated vehicles. Expansion of CNG dispensing facilities and increased fiscal incentives for CNG kits.
7.Curbing fuel adulteration—state-of-the-art testing facilities and deterrent legal action.
8.Scrap page of old and polluting vehicles on road.
Need for an integrated approach with appropriate regulations and pricing mechanisms.
Further tightening of emission norms and fuel quality specifications.
Inspection and Certification System.

AIR POLLUTANTS AND RELATED ILLNESS

A compelling reason for controlling air pollutants such as suspended particulate matter (SPM) or respirable particulate matters (RPM) or sulphur dioxide (SO2) is their damaging effect on human health. Of all air pollution constituents, the WHO has identified SPM as the most sinister in terms of its effect on health.

Sulphur Dioxide (Sox):
Colourless Gas (Diesel-driven vehicles).
Bronchitis, frequent colds, emphysema, lung cancer.

Nitrogen Oxide (Nox):
Yellowish gas (Diesel-driven).
Bronchitis, low lung function in children, high incidence of asthma. Combines with oxygen to form ozone, which causes progressive lung damage.

Carbon Monoxide (CO):
Invisible gas (Petrol-driven vehicles)
Impairs oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Affects central nervous system, high blood pressure, heart disease. More than 3% concentration by volume in respirated air can lead to sudden death.

Lead (Pb):
Metallic, chemical element
Extremely toxic, affects central nervous system. Leads to loss of weight, abdominal pain, brain damage and low IQ in children.

Hydrocarbons (HC):
Sweet smelling, colourless or whitish gas (Emitted by 2- and 3-wheelers).
Bronchitis, eye irritation, cataracts, cancer of skin & liver.
Suspended particulate matter (SPM).
Bits of carbon, ash and oil emitted specially from diesel-driven vehicles.20% vehicles are diesel powered.
This affects us the worst, as range in size from 15 to 2.5 micrograms per cubic metre and are fine enough to be deeply respirable.

Benzene:
Inherent in all fuels - petrol and diesel.
Hemorrhage of lungs. Highly carcinogenic and not regularly monitored by the Authorities.

Toxic Air Pollutants
Toxic air pollutants are those pollutants that cause or may cause cancer or other serious health effects, such as reproductive effects or birth defects. Air toxics may also cause adverse environmental and ecological effects. Examples of toxic air pollutants include benzene, found in gasoline; perchloroethylene, emitted from some dry cleaning facilities; and methylene chloride, used as a solvent by a number of industries. Most air toxics originate from man-made sources including cars, trucks, construction equipment factories, refineries, power plants, cleaning solvents etc. Some air toxics are also released from natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and forest fires.

Air Pollution

Air pollution is a worldwide problem that takes a heavy toll on the state of our environment, health and quality of life. Sources of air pollution, India's most severe environmental problem, come in several forms, including vehicular emissions and untreated industrial smoke. Apart from rapid industrialization, urbanization has resulted in the emergence of industrial centers without a corresponding growth in civic amenities and pollution control mechanisms. Air pollution can makes us sick and contributes to chronic respiratory illnesses such as asthma. Some air pollutants return to earth as acid rain and snow that can damage ecosystems such as lakes and forests, making them unlivable habitats for many plant and animal species. Acid rain can also have direct economic effects by damaging crops and corroding buildings and historic monuments. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) are another form of air pollution that can erode the Earth's protective ozone layer, which shields us from the Sun's more damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Some Facts about Greenhouse Gases and Climate Change :

The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that human activity is interfering with the planet's climate system, causing the Earth to become warmer. The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere are the leading cause of global warming which is enhancing the planet's natural 'greenhouse effect'. These increased levels of GHG are a result of intense industrial activity. India's energy-related carbon emissions have grown nine-fold over the past four decades. The planet has been getting warmer over the past 100 years. In fact, the 1980's and 1990's were the warmest decades on record, and the 20th century was the warmest in the past 1000 years. All estimates indicate that the warming will continue. According to the IPCC, average global temperatures are expected to rise by 1.4° to 5.8° Celsius over the next century. To put that into perspective, today's average temperatures are only about 5° warmer than they were during the last Ice Age. However, this small change in average temperature was enough to melt the vast ice sheets that once covered much of North America.

The Greenhouse Effect and Global Warming:

For hundreds of years the Earth's atmosphere has changed very little. It has kept the right temperature for plants and animals, including humans, to survive quite comfortably. Our modern lifestyle and the growth in global population are causing a huge increase in the world's use of energy. Much of the energy we use to power our vehicles, produce electricity and manufacture products comes from fossil fuels. Much of the energy we use to power our vehicles, produce electricity and manufacture products comes from fossil fuels. When burned, these fossil fuels add large amounts of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide.If we keep going the way we are today, humans will be responsible for doubling the amount of carbon dioxide in the air before the year 2050.The addition of greenhouse gases from human or manmade sources is throwing our atmosphere and the natural greenhouse effect out of balance. It would appear that the atmosphere is trapping too much heat and causing the Earth to heat up. This is known as GLOBAL WARMING.

Fact : By the year 2050, if we keep increasing the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the world could be 3 degrees Celsius warmer than it is today.

Did You Know? Some of our energy sources, known as fossil fuels like coal, oil, natural gas have been trapped beneath the ground for millions of years. They release large quantities of greenhouse gases.

Did You Know? Plants and trees are natural regulators of the atmosphere. They help keep things in balance. Destroying our forests, or deforestation, upsets this balance and actually results in increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Fact: Saving energy helps to slow global warming. Saving energy also helps solve other environmental problems like acid rain and smog .

Is Winning Everything????

2006-06-13T11:09:00.000-04:00

I fight against the odds
Just a glimpse is what I need
The sky is mine to own and seek
To high fly on success
To run amidst the fluffy clouds
To dance with the Stars
To feel the wind hitting across my face
That's my dream
My dream of a redezvous with success!

There it is
I spotted it!
There is my success
Now all that to do is walk towards it
Face the obstacles with courage
And reach that pinnacle which is ever so elusive

To make my dreams come true
I have to battle my way through
The long hard way is what I will take
But, does success have a landmark?
Can I say I've won now?
And is that battle won eternal?
I Cogitate on whether the battle is worth fighting
Or How I won is more important
I realize that it is!
What I'm fighting against and how I'm fighting is important
Everything else, I believe will follow,
WINNING and SUCCESS too!!!

So, what I believe is Winning is not everything......
how I do and which way I do is important.

Bush Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq

2006-06-13T11:07:00.000-04:00

President Bush arrived in Baghdad this afternoon for a face-to-face meeting with new Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki -- an effort, the White House said, to get a clear sense of the premier's priorities and how the U.S. government could help his government succeed.
The White House originally had said Bush was scheduled to be at Camp David and to hold a video-conference with Maliki this morning. Instead, without telling the Iraqi government or all but his closest advisers, the president slipped out of Washington last night and made the 11-hour trip to Baghdad International Airport, landing at 4:08 p.m. Baghdad time (8:08 a.m. EDT).

Staying indoors without my mom.....

2006-06-13T09:47:00.000-04:00

Well, Okay, I have my Blog now..... What do you think i would do for the rest of my day??? My mom is in India. So, This is the best time for me to get into the kitchen and experiment with all sought of dishes.

Wait a minute....!! Are r u surprised???? Well a lot of people are amused with the fact that I'm cooking and started writing mails telling me not to cook any more. Well....I'm not a bad cook. Not a good cook either.But my dad's a pretty good cook. so we are kind of getting along. I can openly tell u that I'm always pretty much confused about Baking soda ,Sugar and salt please don't laugh if I tell u that I made a lot of mistakes with these 3 combinations in past!! A lot of times I added one instead of adding the other.

Starting to enjoy things that I can reach! I lately discovered that I'm fine staying home alone though its long and booooooooorrrrrriiiing... Without my mom! So pretty much nothing that my parents have to worry about this...

Right now I'm going through an SAT prep site and browsing desi music.....hmmm...!!

My friend Emily made a discovery when she went outside of her biology class
DISCOVERY : Living Dirt
Ha Ha Ha ....^_^!!

Friendship

2006-06-12T18:12:00.000-04:00

Friends mean a loooooooooot me. Trust me.... If u are my friend....Then remember that u will not be forgotten till my last breath!!! To say my friends are the sweeeeeeeeeetest ones. They are the best and they simply rock!! :) :)

I really enjoy chatting with them pulling their legs and making pranks and worrying them..!! Well sometimes true friendship lies in making pranks too...! Pranks in sense is something just for fun..... :D

So these are the best ones that I possess..... Gayathri and Rishika....:) Well they are really good!! Most of the ones who are reading this page know them..... Well that's the school uniform that we had when I was in India.... No need to tell u that they r my best buddies from India....

Wow this is so true........ Friends really play an important role........ :) :)

[Her picture is expired : Sorry]

This is Aditi!!!! I don't think I should mention that she is pretty! If you say that she isn't pretty then there's something wrong with your eyes..... Go check with an opthamologist (HE HE). She is really cool.... And that's her prom picture.....

This is my friend Sara..... She is one of the most lovable girl....! She helps me a looooot....^_^!! We both take the same school bus and many of the times we do have fun......:)

Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately, the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. And so is Friendship.

Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite meaning in such a simple word.

Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.

Few more pictures.....

You can see Todd , Mallory and Emily......

This is Swetha......Frankly cool.....

Aren't my friends cool????? Yup! You r right.....They r cool.....If your answer is no then you should know something more about them. After that I'm sure that everyone will say "Yeah .... I agree" (HA HA ^_^!!)..... That's how they are....

So that's it for now.....I'll be back with something more interesting.....lol....

Stay connected......

A Dream - Aeoronautics

2006-06-12T14:45:00.000-04:00

I always dream about designing and modeling Defense Air crafts and missiles. Well when I tell this to my friends they pass out comments such as " Guwah!!!! Is that even a dream " or " Your dream sucks ...lol!" or let me make it this way "that's not interesting" and sometimes " that's a tough job to deal with"

Well I do know that its tough but atleast to learn something about it..... Its not a topic to be ignored. Aeronautics have a high importance in my mind. I think its the best field to go with for the one who likes Physics ( someone like me ). Well even if u don't like physics u will find yourself that u want to know something about it when u come across a fact about Aeronautics.

Aeronautics deals with theories that concerns the Aircraft Navigation. As most of us know about the radar technology. Well that's the most booming technology in the aircrafts history. This so called technology really excelled in United state's F16 fighter plane. Check out the following images of the plane.....

that's a good pictures of F16. In an air combat role, the F-16's maneuverability and combat radius (distance it can fly to enter air combat, stay, fight and return) exceed that of all potential threat fighter aircraft. It can locate targets in all weather conditions and detect low flying aircraft in radar ground clutter. In an air-to-surface role, the F-16 can fly more than 500 miles (860 kilometers), deliver its weapons with superior accuracy, defend itself against enemy aircraft, and return to its starting point. An all-weather capability allows it to accurately deliver ordnance during non-visual bombing conditions.

One more aircraft that drags my attention is Russia's Sukhoi.Its really a great defense aircraft. Its interesting that it contradicts the Newton's law as it can go against its action that case the action and reaction are on the same direction.

So this is Sukhoi. The Russian challenge comes in the form of the single-seat Sukhoi S-37, the worldÂs first combat aircraft to successfully exploit forward-swept wing (FSW) technology.

well..... There are a lot of interesting things thatIi can talk about Fighter planes butIi don't think thatIi can do my other works ifIi spend all if my time on writing this blog.Soo farewell for now.....

lot of stuff coming up...... Stay Tuned..... :) :)

My First Posting.....

2006-06-12T12:04:00.000-04:00

This is my first posting so I don't actually have a lot of things happening in my life right now.

So let me write about what I think is important before writing some fun stuff....

True Education

" We want that education by which character is formed, Strength of mind is increased, the intellect is expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet." - by Swami Vivekananda

well, you consider a man as educated if only he can pass some examinations and delivered good lectures. The education which doesn't help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life, which doesn't bring out strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion - is it worth the name? Real Education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs education that u r receiving now in schools and colleges is only making you a receive dyspeptic, you are working like machines merely, and living like a jelly-fish existence.

Building Character

"Neither Money pays, nor name, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties"

As everyone know that the road to good is the roughest and the steepest in the universe, its a wonder that people succeed through it and no wonder that many people fall. I think Character has to be established through 1000 stumbles. Having a perfect character is possible to only few people but its no fault that people can try to achieve to a state where they can actually build a perfect character that which gives the qualifications to a person to be selfless.

Serving Man as serving God

"Blessed are they whose bodies get destroyed in the service of others"

Dose not any one feel that someone is always behind you and porking you over and over again as u commit a mistake? Well I always have that consciousness. As its mentioned in great books..... Its none other than the fear of God. God is omnipresent and he is in me and U. If u help a person in need then u don't have to worry that u are going down to some one's level and helping them. You are directly offering your service to God. That's why its so called "Service to man is Service to God"

Faith In Oneself

"You must not say that you are week. How do you know what possibilities lie behind that degradation on the surface? You know but little of that which is within you. For behind you is the ocean of infinite power and blessedness."

We have the power of doing anything that we want to. The only thing that we need is Faith in Oneself. I think that we should go on with what we are doing and see how everything follow , winning and success too. Sometimes we may not get what we want but out secret i.e, "Faith in oneself" is not to be forgotten.

Secret Of Work

" Whatever you do think well on it your Actions will be magnified, transformed, defied, by the very power of the thought"

Three things are necessary to make every man great:

1.Conviction of the powers of goodness.

2.Absence of Jealousy and suspicion.

3.Helping all who are trying to be and do good.

True Religion

" Religion is the ideawhich is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God"

Religion is the path that we choose to make our final destination to god religion teaches the same priciples to do good and to be good. So why do we have to fight for religion about which rules that most or which is supreme over the other. Open your eyes and see that God is everywhere and there is only one god who have multiple names and we take multiple paths to reach God who may be called by any name in this world.

My Motherland : India

"We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made!" --Albert Einstein

I LOVE MY COUNTRY.

India - The land where humanity has attained its highest towards gentleness, towards generosity, towards purity, towards calmness, above all the land of introspection and of spirituality.
