Hello …
So imagine this scenario …
You are traveling or something …
Aand you loose your cell phone …
With all your contacts and calendar events and all …
That would be like a real bummer right … ???
Nope … not anymore … not when you are on zyb
I just got to know this website … zyb
It lets you backup/sync your cell phone …
Contacts … calendar events … even text messages …
This is like really good … very convenient …
Weather you loose your phone …or get a new phone…
You can just sync over the air wherever you are …
And get all your data right back on your cell …
I sync’d my cell … with a few hundred contacts …
And found out 6 people already using zyb …
Including murad and jaa … to name a few bloggers …
So I guess … it’s a good service to check out ...
Especially coz it doesn’t cost you anything … hehe …
Lemme know what you think of it …
Laterx …

Born ready. Born perfect. This is Artificial Life …

DNA

As a kid ... I was fascinated with science fiction novels ...
I read stories set in fictional future worlds ...
About near-impossible human achievements ...
And huge technological advances ... time travel and stuff ...
Not that I understood much then ... but it sure was intriguing ...
But I never actually thought I'd live to see this day ...
Fox has reported that Craig Venter ... a genetics specialist ...
Has created artificial life ... yes artificial life !!!
With synthetics chromosomes from laboratory chemicals ...
This is like huge ... I mean really huge ...
I can't even begin to wrap my mind around the impact ...
This discovery would have on our world as we know it ...
On life as we know it ... or on propagation of human kind ...
I'm sure there is gonna be like heated debates over this ...
I'm sure there will be like more than a few opinions ...
Especially between scientists and religious people ...
Life is supposed to be a gift from God himself ...
And if we human learn the ability to give life ...
Someone somewhere is gonna have serious problems with it ...
I dunno how far or where this would take human kind to ...
I dunno how far down this road we should venture ...
I dunno who would control this ... or who wouldn't wanna control ...
But I do know ... that there might come a day in the future ...
When an unborn fetus will have the right to be born perfect ...

Patches of green in our city concrete …

A garden … on the roof of a building …

Male' is like one of the most dense cities in the world ...
Old buildings and structures are being leveled almost daily ...
To make way for for offices and apartment buildings ...
And as these new buildings pack in closer and closer ...
Male' is taking the shape of one huge concrete building ...
With narrow roads and lanes as access ways and path ways ...
And in the midst of all that ... its very refreshing to see ...
Some people working hard and exploring the possibilities ...
Where they can fit a few plants ... and grow small gardens ...
Be it balconies ... flat roof tops ... or external stairs ...
We should be happy ... as it has been a long time since ...
A healthy environmentally friendly trend took off in the city ...
These small gardens are like patches of green in the city ...
And people tend to spend a lot of time in these areas ...
While some people like to sit and relax in these gardens ...
Others go there to think ... contemplate ... and cogitate ...
While looking down into the city and vehicles zipping past ...
I'm seriously thinking about starting my own small garden ...
Given the area ... my garden can't be bigger than 3ft by 3ft ...
May be a few potten plants first ... but its a start ... eh ???

Could this be the power of blogging … ???

It used to say Taxi Que … now it correctly says Taxi Queue …

A coupla months go ... i wrote a blog post ...
It was about prevalent spelling mistakes of signage ...
They say blogs have the power to sway public opinion ...
I don't think thats true ... and I'm not sure I wanna do that ...
Some even say blogs can make you rich and famous ...
Haven't seen a single buck my way yet ... hehe ..
But may be ... just may be ... I might have made myself heard ...
Cos they actually have corrected a spelling mistake ...
I guess may be i could think of thisas a small victory ... ???
And i guess my blog hasn't been totally useless after all eh ... ???
