End of An Era: Steve Jobs


The fabled genius, who supposedly completed the half bitten Apple-logo, now leaves the Apple.. How can the master-mind behind i-tronics be ever forgotten.


Over the past decade, Apple redefined the course of mobile computing and digital entertainment, setting the bench-mark for the envy of the business world and America's second-most valuable company, after Exxon Mobil.

The apple products, today indispensible business tools among the elite; have all created a flurry of class, quality and value for money. I-pod remains the synonym of a mp-3 player in the households, and a Mac, a desire of all gazette freaks. The I-pad brought in a new era of tablet PCs. Furthermore, an I-phone is simply unbeatable in the smartphone category worldwide.

A Reed College drop-out, this Buddhist could assimilate the calmness of a monk and the acumen of a tycoon. His visions has always been two steps ahead of his rivals, inspiring innovation, renovation and progression of technology for an easier life of his faithful customers and clients. Will Apple, or for the same reason, the electronic industries globally, be able to find another Jobs.

"The answer my friend, is Blowing in The Wind."

Analysis of an unnecessary comment

Ms. Roy's article in "The Hindu' has indeed instigated an unnecessary debate over media and web-portals between the intellects of the nation and abroad.. Although, Ms Roy has very strongly put forth her views, they can very easily be negated, by any person who has read through the histories of all revolutions of the world..

Whenever a person has arisen with a new flag against a regime, He has been declared insane, rebellion, fool, corrupt, selfish, and various such other names.. But victory always has been to the verdict of the masses.. No other reason, that after French Revolution, and end of Aristocracy, Napolean took over, and was later removed by the French. Joseph Stalin could not fool the Russians for long. On the other hand, Gandhi could fight till the very end of the British Crown over India, and still has been an icon towards all indians look.

In the recent times, we have seen downfall of a few dictators in the third world countries, which have been supported by intellectuals all round, even our national icons(read: Booker Winners). What beholds them exactly from supporting a similar movement in their own country, which is against an difficile regime.
Comparing this campaign to Maoists, has been one of the biggest mistakes, as far as I think, because, this movement has never entered any violence; nor Anna’s campaign aims to hurt any of the innocent or the guilty; much unlike the Maoists, which does not care about either, very easily allowing collateral damages.
Is this a frantic attempt to enter an arena after being long left out, by criticizing the fore-runners of the same. Might be.
Or, is it some way to get patronage of the government? We are very well aware that Ms. Roy has never been on the good-books of the authorities.
Or, is it just a cheap publicity stunt? I find Ms. Roy too respectable for that.
Well whatever it might be, Ms. Roy must have lost a few blind supporters (like me)to her words, by now.

Ten Years of Writing Poetry

With great pleasure, I announce, that, today, I have completed 10 years of writing poems...

It was back in 2001, Third week of August, that I wrote my first Poem, a childish effort to rhyme.. "The Lame Rabbit" which was inspired from D H Lawrence's Story and also from a Poem titled "Lizards" by Vibhu Padhi..

However, it took me a few months, before i actually could rhyme, and then I wrote, a very special Poem, "The Monkey's Paw" inspired from a Play of same Title.. My friends from St. Xavier's would remember it.. And courtesy, Mrs. Uma Verma, who gave me few tips and tricks on how actually to write a poem, I began to tread the path..

Next few years saw me trying to rhyme, or to even write.. With a few cynism, and applauses both coming from almost same ends, I was able to improve, although, those day's creations lie waste in the chest of my old diaries..

The imagination, began catching my pen, during depressions.. And as I remember well, most of the verses, that I regard good, have come during the time i actually was depressed.. I fact, the first anthology, which shall soon be out, is almost totally been written in feats of meloncholy..

Today, my family and friends, all support me to brim, in my passion.. And I am heavily indebted to my friends, for their critical appreciation as well as improvisation tips.

Hoping to give you all my first Compilation "In and Out of Bounds- A quest of tranquillity" soon.

Thanking You All..
Thanking my Life..
Thanking Lord Above..
