Na Chemistry Hoti Na Love Hota

Mayank Chandak — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 17:35:07 +0000

This beautiful poem was received from a friend as a Forward. Thought it perfect to post it up here for you. Don’t know who authored it but simply brilliant piece.

Na Chemistry hoti na main Student hota
Na ye Lab hoti Na Ye Accident Hota

Abhi Practical main ayee nazar Ek Ladki
Sundar thi Naak Us ki Test Tube Jaisi

Baton main Us ki Glucose ki Mithas thi
Sanson main Ester ki Khushboo bhi sath thi

Aankhon se jhalakta tha kuch is Tarah ka Pyaar
Bin Piye hi ho jata hai Alcohol la Khumar

Benzene sa hota tha Uski Presence ka Ehsaas
Andhere main hota tha Radium ka Abhas

Nazrain mileen, reaction hua
Kuch is tarah Love ka Production hua

Lagne lage Us ke Ghar ke Chakkar aise
Nucleus ke charon taraf Electron hon jaise

Us din hamare Test ka Confirmation hua
Jab us ke daddy se hamara Introduction hua

Sun kar hamari baat wo aise Uchal pare
Ignesium Tube main jaise Sodium Bharak uthe

Wo bole, Hosh main aao, Pahchano apni Auqat
Iron mil nahin sakta kabhi Gold ke saath

Ye sun ker Tuta hamare Armanon Bhara Beaker
Aur ham Chup rahe Benzaldehyde ka Karwa Ghoont pee

Ab us ki yadon ke siwa hamara Kam chalta na tha
Aur Lab main hamare Dil ke siwa kuch jalta na tha

Zindagi ho gayee Unsaturated Hydrocarbon ki Tarah
Aur ham phirte hain Awara Hydrogen ki Tarah

When facebook becomes a mainstream PhotoSharing Site

Mayank Chandak — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:58:44 +0000

There were times when Flickr, PicasaWeb Gallery used to be the mainstream apps for photos sharing. Never was orkut or facebook was particularly popular way of multi-photo sharing tool. Even though the current facebook interface for photo uploads has been so refined but it still lacks that charm. I stumbled across this wonderful desktop app that lets you do-it-all from your desktop. With some great features as Tagging and proxy support, this has to be my App of the week. Whats more amazing is that it is available on many platforms. Check it out

Features:

* Upload photos to Facebook which includes tagging people: (more than 60 photos supported and privacy)
* Import photo Exif info into the photo caption
* Download albums from Facebook
* View your friends photos
* Save individual photos
* Support for uploads behind a Proxy server
* Windows/Mac/Linux/Solaris compatible

Hey everyone. Long time and no new post. Worry not, was a lil busy with college stuff. I’m back again right on track. To let you readers believe me there’s so much in store. I just upgraded the platform to “Wordpress 2.8″ and know what, blogging got even more awesome-er. Wordpress is a true super hero in the CMS sphere. So here’s whats new in 2.8 (from the site).

Major New Improvements

First and foremost, 2.8 is way faster to use. We’ve changed the way WordPress does style and scripting.

The core and plugin updaters in previous versions of WordPress have been such a success we decided to bring the same to themes. You can now browse the entire theme directory and install a theme with one click from the comfort of your WordPress dashboard.

If you make edits or tweaks to themes or plugins from your dashboard, you’ll appreciate the new CodePress editor which gives syntax highlighting to the previously-plain editor. Also there is now contextual documentation for the functions in the file you’re editing linked right below the editor.

If you were ever frustrated with widgets before, this release should be your savior. We’ve completely redesigned the widgets interface (which we didn’t have time to in 2.7) to allow you to do things like edit widgets on the fly, have multiple copies of the same widget, drag and drop widgets between sidebars, and save inactive widgets so you don’t lose all their settings. Developers now have access to a much cleaner and robust API for creating widgets as well.

Finally you should explore the new Screen Options on every page. It’s the tab in the top right. Now, for example, if you have a wide monitor you could set up your dashboard to have four columns of widgets instead of the two it has by default. On other pages you can change how many items show per page.

And Even More

You can read the full list of over 180 new features, changes, upgrades, and improvements on the Codex. The list is exhausting!

Heres a quick video.

A News Tube for Indian Audience

Mayank Chandak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 00:43:15 +0000

Tubaah aims to be the Hulu of India. Started by a strong media network of NDTV. The site has not yet gone into the turbo-advertising mode, so not many people know of it. It allows people to create their own ‘Tubes’ generally by aggregating news videos and then share them with freinds and then follow what their freinds are watching. The HomePage has an option of Live TV Stream which currently features only NDTV Channels. Also seen on the header is a link to shows, which has a listing of all prime time shows, which again has only NDTV shows listed. This service is currently free but you can never tell when they start charging for memberships as they charge a premium ammount on their NDTV Imagine Channel (atleast on TATA Sky). With internet in India gaining new highs, this service can keep its hopes high. As more users are getting exposed to broadband, internet is the new media to count on.

Anil Tops the list of biggest financial losers

Mayank Chandak — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:55:10 +0000

Well, Indian are very much on top of every list around here in the world, Literally. Be it the richest people, Forbes, fortune 500, most influential people, genius scientists, doing funny stuff and much everything else. But this time also, an Indian has done it, but unfortunately nothing to be proud of. Anil Ambani has made it to the top of the list of biggest losers in this recent meltdown. According to the article i stumbled across, anil ambani is the biggest loser with $30 Billion (sigh!!) lost in a financial year. His net worth down to $12m from $42m last March. He’s a very capable guy so he’ll make it up to his reputation. With so many Companies in his command, this guy is sure to rise, no-matter-what. Check the article here.

Drooling for dollars.

Gawker makes you audition for commenting

Mayank Chandak — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 19:56:38 +0000

Are you intelligent enough to comment on a site. Are you capable enough to comment. Probably we’ll have to audition you for leaving a comment.

Hello, Hey , all this was not for this site, but i got such messages when i registered at Gawker. Excerpts from Wiki

Gawker.com is a blog based in New York City that bills itself as “The source for daily Manhattan media news and gossip” and focuses on celebrities and the media industry.

Founded in 2002, Gawker is the flagship blog for Nick Denton’s Gawker Media; They spawned other blogs including Wonkette, covering Washington, D.C., Defamer, covering Los Angeles, and Valleywag covering Silicon Valley.

No offense anybody. Gawker is an excellent site, and its daughter sites are no less awesome, with editors no less famous than a filthy rich celeb. Check out the image for more. I mean comments moderation is pretty cool but auditions for such a thing is taking things too far.

P.S: At least be nice to me.

Wordle out your mind

Mayank Chandak — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 19:36:57 +0000

We all have seen tag cloud and then some good looking tag-cloud and even some ‘awesome’ tag clouds but a brilliant imagery of tags thats not necessarily made of tags. It can be made of words you like, a lovely story, a poem or anything for that matter. Thats exactly the thing that this nice site does. Enter a few words, a url or your del.icio.us username and see the magic unroll to a colorful cloud of text. Customization options include fonts, alignment, layout control, language options and much everything

P.S: You need Java Framework installed for it to work properly.
