This evening my wife Meenu told me she is proud of me! Wo…slow down girl was my response. She was indeed serious and than she started talking about someone she knew and how her husband was not treating her well.. yady yady yada. She was proud of me the way I treat her with respect, love and dignity. I am a believer of treating everyone with respect and especially girls/wife/sister or any female for that matter. I guess good things come back to you and can pleasently surprise you in a ways you never thought before.

Now this is going to be interesting. MIT researchers are trying to put a full-fledged turbine on a chip.. and they claim that resulting device can run 10 times longer than a battery of same weight. It’s tough to imagine but if we think what computers were in 60s - room full of stuff than may be it is not hard to image. Check out the story.

Engine on a chip promises to best the battery

MIT researchers are putting a tiny gas-turbine engine inside a silicon chip about the size of a quarter. The resulting device could run 10 times longer than a battery of the same weight can, powering laptops, cell phones, radios and other electronic devices.

It was 8.30am on 26th Feb 1996 when the auto wala took the left turn onto now called Anil Kumble Circle when I had my first glimpses of famous MG Road. During my 3 year stay I loved the city and I was totally impressed by all the goodness Bangalore had to offer including good food, its beer, weather & awestruck beauty. I think those were the good old days. Bangalore has changed a lot ever since. I was totally shocked and sad to see this beautiful city in shambles when I visited last in July 2005. It has become very crowded, pollouted, arrogant, crumbling infrastructure, incidents of crimes against lonely passengers and ladies. I hate to see this beautiful city crumbling. The present government like it’s predecessors have not done enough. It takes forever to travel to work during peak hours. How can the citizens and the government let this happen? When I was contemplating my move from USA I had to put Bangalore out of my plans - I just could not accept the fact that city has become almost unlivable.

There are people who’ll disagree with me. This recent report by Indicus Analytics puts Bangalore in 1st place and calls it best place to live. I want to know if the authors of this report ever visited the cities they analyzed?

Bangalore: The best place to live in India

Your best bet for a city that ranks fairly high on all three counts — living, working and investing — is Bangalore. It ranks as the top city to reside in and second best to earn. Read Full Story Bangalore best place…?
