Watched this great movie yesterday, and from my side its 10/10. This movie is probably the best star trek movie I have ever seen and I have watched them all.
Trying to install stupid MAC on my PC, I just crashed everything. Corrupted both my linux and windows O.S. .
College (22nd May) is over and new phase in life has begun. I have joined wirkle technologies today (1st June) and in fact I am writing this blog post from the office on my very first day. The culture here is really warm and my intial perception is very positive but its probably too early to draw conclusion (Hardly spent 4 hours here uptil now). I am looking forward to have a long and prosperous stay here.
My Post here is as a Software Engineer and I will be working on Iphone application development platform, which I hope to learn a lot from since I am not only to IPHONE SDK but also to the MAC enviorment(Who uses MAC in India after all :D).

Being a avid cricket fan and a Indian, watching IPL (Indian Premier League) is a must. Gladly out of 8, the 2 teams in final which will be playing today's evening (IST) are my hot favorites, Deccan Chargers Vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore, if not the hottest (Delhi Daredevils, of course!).
No matter which team wins, I will be happy since most of the teams I didn't like didn't made it to the semi's. Yipee !!!!
The peculiar thing about this final is that the 2 teams in the final this time finished last in the previous year tournament. In other words the teams 7th and 8th last time will finish 1st and 2nd this time. This shows the beauty of IPL, doesn't it??

Looking to pass some time between my college ending and new job I decided to do some reading to pass my time which is now days passing all too slowly. So, I got my hands on this book which was chosen from the shelf of my elderly brother like friend Chirag Taneja. Honestly I decided to start reading this one because probably it was the smallest one there. Though, It was a love novel which I usually don't read, boy I am glad I read this one.
It is 1970's classic which I came to know only after I have finished it. I finished it in 3 hours continuous reading. Language is simple and easy to understand, not flowery at all.
Story is also simple which normal people like me can associate to. Its story of love gain and lost of a young couple very deeply in love who got separated due one's death. To learn how and why, you can read it your self. I don't write spoilers.
I am both happy and sad that I finished it quickly. Because, now I need to find something else to read before the spare time drive me crazy.

My foray into console gaming (Xbox 360) is a new one, though I am a veteran PC gamer. But until now I have not played a racing game so intense and enthralling as Burnout Revenge.
This game simply blows you and your virtual car away every now and then with astounding graphics and sound. In my LCD on FULL HD, you can even see the screws holding your car tires flying away during crash, its insane.
It is awesome fun to play in a 2 player mode when you friends comes over. If you got a 360 it is one game you must have. Probably then you will never have to buy another racing game ever.

India also features many time in his speech and for us Indians who are very much dependent on globalization this is a must watch.

Better India, Better World is a collection of speeches given by the simplistic yet charismatic Indian IT Entrepreneur N R Narayana Murthy. It is a must read for everyone especially people in IT and the entire India.
The book is not some IT DIY manual but covers a myriad topics, which when worked upon hasd potential to improve the standard of not only India but entire world.
N R Narayana Murthy is one of the most honest entrepreneur world has ever seen and a perfect example of a compassionate capitalist the world is in dire need of. The book gives you a deep insight into his mind and his values which he succesfully imparted to his spectacular organization Infosys.
He is one of the few people I respect from Heart and I put him in same league as my Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and DMRC Chief E.Sreedharan when it comes to strength of character.
This book is must read especially for budding entreprenuer like me. The biggest lesson from the book is never to compromise on your value and integrity no matter what the circumstances are.
