For the first time in my life I watched a complete world cup final. And boy it was fun... Superb match as it was, it had everything, sometimes Indians on top, at others the Pakitsatnis. At the end it was the Indians who hold their nerves to be the winner. Well a small description of the match along with my reactions follows. Here it goes... The match begins with a surprise as Yusuf Pathan came to open the innings along with Gambhir(Hmmmm.... Has Dhoni gone made... I mean a rookie in final that to open the innings??) They started with an impulse but soon came down to earth as India lost Pathan, Robin, Yuvraj, Dhoni cheaply. It was the orthodox Gambhir who made 75 (HE got out on an unorthodox shot) Gul bowled really well. His yorkers except one were well directed and fetched him 3 wickets. Rohit Sharma provided the last flurish with 30 of 16 balls. Indians could get just 157 in their allotted 20 overs. Now it was Pak's turn to get 158. It was a mixed start for them as they lost 2 w...

I was surprised today after I found that Yahoo had already launched a web messenger similar to Gtalk web gadget. As yahoo messenger has more capabilities than Gtalk, the same is the case with the web gadgets. You can even SMS to your friend via yahoo messenger (both desktop client and web client). The link to the yahoo web messenger is http://webmessenger.yahoo.com/ . Please have a look.

I thought I had solved today's SimCAT properly but I was wrong. The 20 question barrier pulled me back to where I was. My score in PS, VA and DI was 14, 3, 31 respectively. Lets see what the percentile turns out to be.

Its been great world cup till now. Its been fascinating to see Indians playing so well. They have reached the finals of the world cup. Its a dream final with Indians facing their arch rivals Pakistan. Both teams have performed above expectation. It will be big finale to this magnificent world cup. I will report the winner tomorrow (I hope India wins and I know they will).

Following are the thoughts of one of my best buddies which I think will help me in this difficult period........ 1. If there is a will, there is a way. 2. You can take opinions from others, but you have to make your own decisions. Because nobody knows you more than you do. 3. If you work hard (smartness implied), you WILL get your dues.

Just to make a note of it- Roger Federer won the US Open Men's Single title by defeating Novak Djokovic whereas Justin Henin-Hardine won the Ladies Single title. Both got a whopping US $2.4 million as prize money. Congrats to them.

Its been eventful last month for Indian sports. Indian cricket team won the Test series in England, but lost the one day series 3-4. The match at oval was an absolute cracker. Everyone will remember it for a long long time. Apart from cricket, it was surprise wins for the Men's Football and Hockey teams. Football team won their maiden Nehru cup, while Hockey team remained unbeaten to hold the Asia cup. In fact India defeated Sri Lanka 20-0, a record. The biggest win was actually in Final when they thrashed Asian Champions South Korea 7-2.  As the news channels say it " चक दे  India ".

Its fierce battle between the 2 software giants where it is difficult to say who will be the winner. Microsoft has recently published a set of questions which they think the "Enterprises" should ask themselves before shifting to Google. Here are they: 1.      Google touts having enterprise level customers but how many “USERS” of their applications truly exist within the enterprise? 2.      Google has a history of releasing incomplete products, calling them beta software, and issuing updates on a “known only to Google” schedule – this flies in the face of what enterprises want and need in their technology partners – what is Google doing that indicates they are in lock step with customer needs? 3.      Google touts the low cost of their apps –not only price but the absence of need for hardware, storage or maintenance for Google Apps.  BUT if GAPE is indeed a complement to MSFT Office, the costs actually bec...

Your sources filter out the noise and present the most interesting bits to you in a useful way. For many of us, these sources include newspapers, magazines, and of course blogs. We built Google Reader as a way for you to see all of your online sources in one place. So if you want to keep up with the chatter about the new iPods or Superbad , now you can. We've added a familiar search box to the top of Google Reader so you can search across all the blogs and sites to which you're subscribed. See if this doesn't help with your information overload. And by the way, if you want to learn more about feed readers...

Yesterday I was just surfing the net to check which web feed reader is the best. Currently I use the Google Reader for viewing my feeds. I went Wikipedia to find drawbacks in GR. I found one which was lack of search facility in it. Today I logged in to Google Reader and found that they have placed a new "Search" button in the UI. Can there be a bigger coincidence than this???

Its time analyze my performances in all the test given by me for CAT. There are certain facts that have come up which are as follows: 1. First and foremost, my strength as always has been Maths and DI. The weak point has been English. 2. Strength and weakness doesn't necessarily imply that I always get more marks in the two. It talks about the relative difficulty I feel while attempting each type of questions. 3.  DI has been the source of bulk of my scores. My confident level is so high in DI that I generally could attempt(not necessarily write an answer) all the question in DI section. My accuracy is also really good.  The problem here is the calculations especially the ones involving "percentages". I hate them but there is hardly any way out. Data sufficiency problems have been the real culprit in decreasing my accuracy. I need to practice them more to perform better. Last but not the least, some times the confidence turns into overconfidence and creates havoc...
