Another day is here, with sun winking through the clouds and strong winds blowing.

I've got nothing against cloudy skies and strong breeze as long as it keeps me cool and soaring temperatures away.

Morning TV news mentioned that there were strong winds and rain presiding over Delhi and the trend would continue the whole day through. I only hope the traffic jams don't fray tempers.

In other news, I had a severe pain at the back of my head yesterday night while studying and ended up waking my mother while screaming in pain. Think I'll go to the Doc tomorrow and find out if all's well with me. Might have strained meself a bit too much.

Guess Meno, Nick, S&F and are together by now? Enjoy yourselves dears.
Am going back to my studies. Will be back here in a bit.

Have a lovely day blog landers!

Is anyone else facing it? I posted a reply to a comment but it took hours before it came back to tell me, my comment can't be posted on my post!!

Next I see my comment right there as a reply. Blog land facing an upset stomach?

Good morning to friends all over the world from India.

The weather today is nice. It's cloudy and breezy, not at all like it would have been typically in the month of May. It is still hot when compared to other parts of the world of course but, I can thank my stars it is not 45 degrees!

God is being merciful. First he sent my mum here yesterday and now this lovely weather.

My mother gave me a surprise yesterday by coming to visit me out of the blue. Well, she was supposed to come at a later date but she came in early. I couldn't be more thankful. I guess, that's how mothers are like.. you remember them and there they are!

Time to stop mooning and go back to studies.

Have a lovely day you guys!

I dedicate this song to my mother and to all those wonderful ladies who've been motherly to others.

We love you! Stay as you are- an angel God.

Seriously! All I have been hearing in the past month on the television is about this IPL Cricket matches.
Since I first heard about it on the BBC, I'd say it has caught the attention of the whole world.

And why wouldn't it? It is the costliest cricket ever played! So much money is being squandered on a game of cricket when there are people in my country who don't get a bite to eat.

I know that every country has a passion for one particular sport, be it football, basketball,etc.
India is a country that loves the sport of cricket above all others and is determined to prove its allegiance to the sport.

Here are a few details that might raise a few eyes brows, am sure.

Most of the people consider India to be a poor country; an emerging super power yet, poor.
Sorry to break the bubble but to me, it seems not.

The BCCI launched the Indian Premier League (IPL) on the lines of football?s English Premier League and the National Basketball League (NBA) of the US.

The IPL is a professional Twenty20 cricket league created and promoted by the BCCI and backed by the ICC. The Twenty20 league is set to debut in April 2008, with eight teams comprising a minimum of 16 players each. The league will last for 44 days and will involve 59 matches.

The IPL works on a franchise-system based on the American style of hiring players and transfers. These franchises were put for auction, where the highest bidder won the rights to own the team, representing each city.

The auction for the same took place on January 24, 2008 and the total base price for the auction was $400 million. The auction went on to fetch $723.59 million.

The Mumbai franchise owned by Mukesh Ambani?s Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) was the most expensive franchise - fetching $111.9 million closely followed by Vijay Mallya?s United Breweries which paid $111.6 million for the Bangalore franchise .

Media house Deccan Chronicle won the Hyderabad chapter of the IPL for $107 million, while India Cements? Chennai franchise cost $91 million.

Bollywood also made its presence felt with two of its leading stars bagging the ownership of their respective teams - Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla?s Red Chillies Entertainment buying out Kolkata for $75.09 million, while Preity Zinta and her beau Ness Wadia bought the Mohali team for $76 million.

GMR , the infrastructure development group which who are involved in a project for revamping the Delhi airport, bagged the ownership of the Delhi team for $84 million and the Emerging Media , consisting of its CEO Fraser Castellino, Manoj Badale and Lachlan Murdoch and other investors won the rights for the Jaipur franczhise for $67 million.

Good night! Until tomorrow!

They said " INERTIA IS GRAVITY" Perhaps it's time to rethink.

According to the reports, the crumbling, 75-year-old flawed foundation of quantum-physics methodology is facing its imminent coup de grace, to be replaced by a new, wholly rational foundation.

SEATTLE, March 20 /PRNewswire/

In his new essay, "Inertia IS Gravity: Masses, Forces, Motions, and a Number a Little Bit Bigger Than 137" (published by AuthorHouse -- http://www.authorhouse.com), Guy Cavet Myhre fires the first shot, which renders current physics textbooks instantly obsolete -- really!

Myhre begins with many insightful discoveries, the oldest of which
dates from a half century ago when he was a U.S. Air Force pilot. It is
about the great importance of inertia in our lives, of how it determines
the size of our atoms and the rate of our aging. Myhre eventually
discovered that the number 137 is closely associated with inertia -- he
speculates that the magnitude of inertial force varies throughout the
universe and that it is 137 times greater in the vicinity of our solar
system than at a location in the universe where it is at a minimum --
pretty heady stuff -- yet his arguments, backed by mathematical equations,
are quite convincing.

Later, he made the all-important discovery of the quantum attributes of elementary particles, which, when used as units of measure, make the
universal physical constants literally vanish from quantum-based equations.
This simplification of a main aspect of quantum physics led Myhre to
discover other heretofore unknown aspects of our physical environment. For example: the simple but elegant linkage between electromagnetic and
gravitational force; the realization of the beginning of a quantum-gravity model; the fine-structure constant's correct definition; the role of updated Planck values in determining the possible existence of an elementary particle of matter that is mediated by the graviton; new, more rational equations about gravitational phenomena, using the quantum attributes of the hypothetical elementary particle of matter as units of measure; and many more.

When Myhre, an amateur physicist, retired, he decided to expose the
great truths about our quantum world that he has discovered over the
decades. During that time, he kept most of his discoveries to himself
because his family, friends and associates (not being part of the physics
community and therefore not in the know) would neither appreciate his
discoveries nor recognize their importance. With the publication of
"Inertia IS Gravity," Myhre hopes to prompt academic physicists to finalize the coup de grace that he has begun by continuing to develop this more-coherent foundation for the methodology of quantum physics, which was impossible to achieve in the late 1920s because of the lack of sufficient knowledge at that time.

Guy Cavet Myhre is also the author of the novel "The Fetal Issue"
(published by AuthorHouse). More information about "Inertia IS Gravity" is

Especially for Kelly and all my other friends.

Not quite what I wanted but I liked it.

Indeed, I never thought I'd see a day when movies in Bollywood would become as steamy and as interesting as this one!

I'd gone to the cinema with Nike and Pretty to watch this movie. Decided I'll take a bit of break from studies. After all, it is the weekend.

The movie is called "RACE". With the star cast of some of the hottest babes of Bollywood and powerful performers, this movie is surely a winner in my eyes.

And before you think about it, NO -it doesn't talk on castes.

It is a thriller, talking about the race to win in life with a 'living on the edge' attitude - be it for money, passions or deception.

The sport included in this movie is horse racing *just a small portion of the movie talks about it*.
Very commercial movie but worth your money.

A movie trailer would give you an idea perhaps.
Am off to sleep then. See ya tomorrow. Oh and ...enjoy the trailer.
