DJ Teisto has done it again

Winning awards worldwide, producing two artist albums and a pioneering performance during the official opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Athens. DJ Tiesto Rocks!!!

Tiesto had been voted # 1 DJ in the world by DJ magazine. He gave an awesome performance at Athens for the Olympic Games,2004 in the opening ceremony in front of the entire planets premier crowd watching him on the television. He played 90 minutes live for over 70,000 lucky people in the stadium watching him

He topped again the DJ magazine for the third time in October 2004. He also won best Belgium and Dutch DJ award in October 2004

Year 2004 and moreover October was a breathtaking month for Tiesto

I feel it makes more sense now to listen to Tiesto music for the camping trip. Vow I am totally charged for the camping atmosphere. I certainly agree with Chinu, camping is exciting event and is a lot easy in this country unlike those camping grounds of Sinhagad

Formula 1

Isn't Formula 1 the most amazing sport? There are only two sports where the person involved can lose his life any moment. It is bull fight and Racing. Bullfight though I feel is a sad sport and I am sure the animal rights people will definitely support me

In a rollercoaster ride a person experiences a force from 3 to 4G. During a F1 race the force exerted can reach up to 4 to 5G. For a normal Human a force from 4 to 6 G if sustained for more than a few seconds, the resulting symptoms range from visual impairment to total blackout. No wonder it makes F1 a thrilling and exciting sport on the planet

A few statistics I found about this sport:

1) The top speed of a F1 car is around 375 Kph and Monza is the only circuit where such a mark is likely to be reached. Italy has two circuits Imalo and Monza. J. Montoya of Williams holds a record for fastest qualifying lap at this circuit with a top speed of 260 Kph
2) F1 cars can accelerate from 0 to 200 Kph and back again to standstill in less than seven seconds
3) Full braking from 200 Kph to standstill requires 1.9 seconds within a distance of 55 meters and this effect produces a deceleration force upto 5G, which 5 times the weight of the driver
4) The Cars change gear around 3100 times in a Monaco grand prix. The circuit is very nice and the race runs on the streets of Monaco Monte Carlo circuit
5) A F1 driver lose on an average 2 kg of weight during a grand prix. He may also lose around 1.5 liters of fluid on a hot day
6) Ayrton Senna has the most pole positions (65) under his belt. A Brazilian driver won his first race for Lotus. Michael Shumacher follows him closely with pole positions (63)
7) The only Posthumous world champion was Austrian Jochen Rindt in 1970, who died in a crash while driving his lotus
8) Ferrari holds the most Grand Prix wins, 144. World Champion, Michael Schumacher with most F1 points, 801
9) The last driver to win without leading a lap was Briton Damon Hill in Belgium in 1994. He was driving for Williams with Ayrton Senna
10) Narayan Karthikeyan is the first Indian driver to drive in F1. He will be driving for the 2005 season for the Jordans

Lets all gear up for this years season which starts at Melbourne on March 6th. Looking forward for the New Jordan driver to show some good skills

BLACK

BLACK!!! Sanjay Lela Bansali has definitely done a nice job, though I feel the story itself has a lot to it. After the movie people were thinking of whether the movie goes for Oscar. Do I care about it? NO I don’t definitely whether they nominate it or not. I rate it at a high level. It has a paramount meaning associated with it which depicts the story of a pertinacious girl who is physically challenged. The young girl does a fabulous job. Rani Mukherji too has played a vital role but she could have done it a bit better. Again sitting here and writing is easy but that is what I feel.

The child is going through a different mode in life as she gets pampered due to the way she is. The teacher, Amitabh emphasizes on the fact that she needs some stern behavior to make her understand things, which make her a respectful individual in the society.

The cinema is providing a different edge to the world. We are blessed with a plethora of things we do not realize the importance of. Life without any single organ makes a tremendous difference. The life of these people is different, the basic tasks we perform we do not realize that how easily we do it , but these things too are difficult to get for these people. A child learns to talk, walk or imitate things by listening or observing different people and objects around. It captures the true beauty of nature in its mind through its eyes. Without sight the handicapped people learn to develop the picture of things around, speechless learn to communicate with people and also deaf understand people speak.

The challenges do not end for them they start every time, every day they step out. Even the thought of being different from someone else is so scary, but these thoughts they bear in their mind everyday. Even then they give out a smile, so why have we lost our smiles when we have all the things given by HIM.

Innovation is needed

Career fair; it is only a fair for free stuff with not much happening there. The man at the counter gives u a smile and shakes hand and says that u may take what u want and gives u a booklet to apply online. He then pretends to take a few notes and then puts the resume back in one of the box, fabulous…

If they hire ingenious people then are the recuiters standing their representing their company lacking the same

Life starts to take turn its own way everyday. Never dreamt never felt and things happen suddenly. I believe one person will agree to this fact for sure. I am sure Technical skill is the mastery of complexity, while Creativity is the mastery of simplicity...

Wow!!! what an innovative way to do things, he asks his first girl out in his bedroom. No wrong intentions but what a place to start a relationship. Now the couple is forced to go out and enjoy, with different plans from connoisseur of dating. The only thing they need to do is get desserts for us. No that is not being mean to them it is instead being nice to them by leaving them alone

What have we achieved ?

It was a nice day today. Do I mean weather was nice or is it that one of the random day when things feel or seem to be great

I just happened to realize how our minds have become narrow nowadays. We need to THINK IT OVER .I just feel like putting the ten things that have been coming to my mind this week

1. We have higher buildings and wider highways but shorter temperaments and narrower point of view
2. We spend more but enjoy less
3. We have large houses, but smaller families
4. We have more compromises, but less time
5. We have more knowledge, but less judgement
6. We have more medicines, but less health
7. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values
8. We talk much, love only little and moreover hate more
9. We have technology to reach moon and come back today, but we still find it hard to cross the road of hatred and meet our neighbors
10. We have always thought and conquered the outer space but not our inner space

These are the days when we have two salaries coming home but divorces increase.
So I believe lets not keep things for special occasion as everyday we live is a special occasion

Life is chain of moments to cherish it is not about survival

Let us tell and show to our families and close ones that we love them and they mean a lot to us

Who says we have not changed. We have definitely changed but not for our good certainly there is a lot to be done here
