EPL & IPL....

Its the weekend & time for sports......ManUtd lost to chelsea at stamford bridge & gets the title race more & more interesting....& indian IPL teams fighting to gain points....harbhajhan hitting sreesanth created more furore than Deccan chargers losing all 3 games...interesting!!

I always thought that creating a game format in the lines of english premeir league would benefit game of cricket...although it gets boring in the end. When it comes to deccan chargers, keeping laxman in the team was just because he is a Hyderabadi, although he is not fit for this form of cricket. The match they lost againast Royals was just his bullshit captaincy. Lets see where they go to....

Well here is my project demonstration for advanced mechatronics: Video

Thanks for watching!

Weekend roundup

hey let me wind up this weekend with the news of the current week..i should say it went on ok....for the first time in my life I stayed awake for straight 38 hours and yes the one made that possible is none other than Advanced MECHATRONICS!!!

So for the project submission on thursday, we toiled through the whole of night to get some demonstration done & yes finally we were successful. Although we couldnt please Dr. P., he looks like satisfied with some results. For those of you who want to see what we have done - please go through http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73EVYb4y93c for the video of that.

The Touch of the Masters Hand

Twas battered and scarred, and the auctioneer
thought it scarcely worth his while to waste much time on the old violin,
but held it up with a smile; "What am I bidden, good folks," he cried,
"Who'll start the bidding for me?" "A dollar, a dollar"; then two!" "Only
two? Two dollars, and who'll make it three? Three dollars, once; three
dollars twice; going for three.." But no, from the room, far back, a
gray-haired man came forward and picked up the bow; Then, wiping the dust
from the old violin, and tightening the loose strings, he played a melody
pure and sweet as caroling angel sings.

The music ceased, and the auctioneer, with a voice that was quiet and low,
said; "What am I bid for the old violin?" And he held it up with the bow.
A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two? Two thousand! And who'll make
it three? Three thousand, once, three thousand, twice, and going and
gone," said he. The people cheered, but some of them cried, "We do not
quite understnad what changed its worth." Swift came the reply: "The touch
of a master's hand."

And many a man with life out of tune, and battered and scarred with sin,
Is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd, much like the old violin, A
"mess of pottage," a glass of wine; a game - and he travels on. "He is
going" once, and "going twice, He's going and almost gone." But the Master
comes, and the foolish crowd never can quite understand the worth of a soul
and the change that's wrought by the touch of the Master's hand.
