Happy New Year 2007

Nithin — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 03:16:27 +0000

I wish you and your family a magical Festive Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts.

A big “Thank You” to each and everyone of you, for the huge impact you had on my life this year. Without you all, I’m sure that 2006 would have been extremely boring.

May we carry on forward with all that we achieved in this year by practicing humility, absolute awareness, forgiveness and we can experience each day anew, and with this fresh start. No day is better than today to mark a new beginning in our lives, with a promise to be better human being than the year before, in action, and in spirit.

I wish for you, happiness, peace of mind, good health,
I wish success in your personal life and in your career…
I wish the vanishing of hard feelings among family and friends
I wish a strong faith to carry you through the times that are hard for you…
I wish lessons learned so you will not make the same mistakes over and over
I wish the innocence of youth and the wisdom of maturity…
I wish you Love, peace and honor in this life and the life to come.

May the year 2007 mark the beginning of a Tidal Wave of
Love, Happiness and Bright Futures.

“Jenson will win a race”

”I would be surprised if Jenson did not win a race. He needs one and I think he would deserve it,”

said Sir Frank Williams, who engineered a $30m deal to let Honda keep their man.
—-
Yeah! Yeah! First ask Button to keep his mouth shut and show results. I believe he is too outspoken to be concentrating on what he is doing in the race. But hey! he may prove me wrong this year, lets see, i would personally like all the top teams to be on equal footing and see some real racing this season.

An affordable computer enabled with multimedia and Internet will soon be available in the Indian market for just Rs.7,500 ($168), a scientist said.

The Nova NetPC has been developed by Chennai-based Novatium Solutions, a consortium of Indian partners, Mumbai-based Netcore Solutions, the Telecom and Networks Group of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Madras and the US-based Analog Devices.

It would cost much less than the current price of Rs.10,000-Rs.12,000 for a personal computer, said Ashok Jhunjunwala, a professor at IIT-Madras.
