Time for Time Machine

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

Time machine has always been a fantasy. Thousands of fictional books have been written on this topic and still many more to come. Same is with movies. The classic Back to the future series is the best example I can give at this moment. Although movies on this subject are dried up they will not stop. There will be more in future. This is one fantasy which all will love to come true. Well.. I have good news for you then.

Here is a smart guy named João Magueijo from Portugal who found a great breakthrough. Almost all of us know that light travels at 3 lakh kilometers per second. (If you don’t know then you bunked your science classes. You may skip this post as it may not turn out interesting to you.) But this guy thinks that the speed of light varies. Due to this Einsteins theory will go in vain. This means we can travel with speed of light.

We will be able to travel in space, solve the mystery of black holes and travel through time.  Forget about first two, What will you do if you can travel between times? I have many things to do there. Erasing some bad memories will help. But I don’t want to erase all of them. I would love to visit my grandma. I miss her a lot.  I would like to transfer Microsoft, Google, Yahoo on my name at the time of their launch. I would also love to hold bush straight when the reporter throws shoes at him.

Many of you will travel in your future first so as to secure it. I would travel into my back life. There were many happy moments which I would love to visit again and enjoy again. Some silly fights which I want to correct. Why should I worry about the future which I haven’t seen??(That’s a mandatory question. Otherwise it means a lot.) Time machine will solve many of my problems.

So I’ll repeat again the same question? what will you do if you have time machine?

Best of Top ten lists

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

As the year end comes these top ten lists start coming from nowhere. There are lots and lots of these starting from the first week of December. By now, you may have read many of such lists. So here is another. The difference is, this is the list of ten best top ten lists of the year. After searching for two days and reading and removing all those junk lists, I compiled the best(the best I thought).

1) Top Ten Green Architecture Projects of 2008: I am inclined towards nature. Hence I like anything which helps for rehabilitation of nature or eco-friendly projects. That is why this list tops my list. The projects mentioned here are awesome and eye-candy. It is good to see construction going eco-friendly.

2) Top Ten Most viewed photo galleries on National Geographic: Nat-Geo website has been always a mine of good photos. It keeps producing some jewels every year. Here is the list of most viewed galleries on Nat-Geo. Every gallery is filled with stunning pictures.

3) The Ten Best New Gadgets 2008: Technology always improves in an exponential way. That curve never gets a fall and new and improved gadgets come every year. This is the list of Ten best new gadgets that arrived in the market this year. You’ll definitely wish to own at least one of them.

4) The Top 10 Everything of 2008: While writing this post I found that there are already some lists which are lists of top ten list. That made things a bit easy for me. This is the times list of almost everything in top ten for 2008. They say it everything but I still have nine other list not mentioned in that list. ^_^

5) Top Ten list by Computerworld: This is the second top ten list I found worth mentioning. It mostly consist of tech related list but also includes list which are not related to technology. How about Top Ten worst employees of 2008?

6) Top Ten movies of 2008: This not just simple list of Top Ten movies. It lists Top Ten movies of 2008 from the movies ratings sites like Metacritic. I found this list as the best in all the Top Ten movies lists. I was more happy to see that I watched almost all the movies in those lists.

7) Top ten sports moments: How can I miss the sports? I love to watch sport and play some. It just brings out the wild side of me. Here are the Top Ten moments from the sports world for the year 2008.

8) YouTube’s Best Of 2008: What Nat-Geo is for Pictures, YouTube is for videos. From the millions of videos uploaded to this site here are the Top Ten videos of the year 2008. If you had a bad year 2008 and no time for laughs, this list will try to make up for that loss.

9) Top 10 New Organisms of 2008: We have not yet discovered the whole world. There are some places which are just on the maps and never been explored. Such places always result in new organisms. This list gives the best finds or organisms in this year. It’s not a fairytale.

10) Top Ten Top Ten Top Tens! of 2008: This is not actually top ten of 2008. This is a list of top ten posts posted on that blog. So it’s kind of personal. But I gave it a mention because every post made me burst out in laughter. That is why it gets this place and this list deserves it.

So that’s all for my two days of searching all over the internet for the best lists. You may think that some lists don’t deserve this place but I do. I tried to be honest and find the best. Cheers to the year 2008 for all the good things it gave and to the lessons we learned from the bad things.

Bye Bye 2008 and Welcome 2009…

Till the next Top ten list…

To be late or not to be

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

Time is the most precious thing in today’s world. This time gets more important to those who work and are professionals. Time is a question of life and death when someone is about to die. Someone is dying and ambulance is taking time to come. Time is important for those who don’t have time. That is what I think about time. But the question for today is whether it’s good to be late or not?

Getting late is a part of life. There won’t be a single person in this world who is never late for anything. There will be at least one occasion where he is late. In a country like India, getting late is very common. Very very common. Especially in the government offices. I heard of an employee who comes to work by 12 noon, gets refreshed. By the time it’s lunch time. She goes for lunch. Works for an hour and half. Then leaves office as she have limited buses to go back home. Hardly works for two hours. Most of the offices start at 10 o’clock. One hour late.

I can understand if it’s traffic problem. They are getting worse and worse. But hey… they don’t happen everyday in my city. I have been late many times during my job life. In my personal life not much. I try to be punctual. Often the transport hits me. I never got fired for getting late though. Being punctual always puts you in respected position. That also helps you to go ahead far more than other. On a job, you’ll earn some appreciation from your boss. That may in turn help in promotion. You see. Lots of benefits of being punctual and not late.

What happens when you are late? Is it always bad? Everything has it’s own flips and flops. So do this “Getting late” thing. There are these moments when a person was late and his life was saved. This has happened in many bomb blasts that are now regular. Getting late to a sale may often give you things cheaper than what they sold out a minute before. This list may not be a big list. But definitely not to be ignored.

I’ll stop here. I am getting late for something.. 😆 After all The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

The five minutes difference

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.
“That is my son over there,” she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.”He is a fine looking boy” the man said. “That is my daughter on the bike in the white dress.”

Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter. “What do you say we go, Melissa?”
Melissa pleaded, “Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes.”
The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart’s content. Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. “Time to go now?”

Again Melissa pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes.”
The man smiled and said, “OK.”
“My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.
The man smiled and then said, “Her older brother Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now I would give anything for just five more minutes with him. I have vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa.She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike. The truth is, I get Five more minutes to watch her play.”

Sooner or later you too realize the importance of five minutes to your family. Running after money and the work pressure takes away these five minutes from your family. Here the man pays the price for the five minutes. I pray that no one else suffers like this. Also I hope that you understand the importance of five minutes to loved ones before it’s too late.

The Time I Waste

Time wasted in enjoying is not a wasted time.

The Time I waste

When I talk about time these are my first views about time. But almost 99.9% of you will not even think about this. I know I’m gifted with nonsense. So better leave it to me. But if you ask anyone around you what time means you?? or What are your views about time?? Then the first answer you’ll get is “Time is money”. While reading this, especially above two questions, probably the same answer went through your mind. Isn’t it?? Continue reading →
