I always ponder to answer a constant question that arises in my mind - Why am I here on Earth.Is there any purpose? I dont know.. Does any one ever tried to answer this question and got a comfortable answer? Please leave you meaning in the comments section.I feel bored even thought i do quite a bit of activities in life and I always feel i need to use my time to do more useful activities.. do

When the whole india is deeply schocked and pained to know about the recent mumbai bomb blast.. WHen we are all still stuck with the shock.. the mumbai showed its Indian hospitality... Homes were opened for stranded passengers to sleep, passengers were offered free food and accomodation..

Sri Chanakya's Niti Sastra says "Never inhabit a country where you are not respected, where you cannot gain knowledge"..I feel now, my future generation would not be respected, nor they can gain equal education. So what is the point in inhabiting this country... I am very pained to say this..But do i left with any choice?I am already treated as a second grade citizen and as per the trends, this

I am wondering what digital camera i need to buy. I have decided to get one, thatz for sure ;) My useage is very limited, i might use it when i feel to capture some good moments, may be more fotos of my friends and family members. Occationaly some travelogue related pics. Was thinking about Canon A80. Heard it is a good model. Any suggestions?

I have been very intrested with the way blogspot is working.. especially i love the way things are archived. Prior to this blog i have been blogging at http://aravinthan.blogdrive.com from year 2003. Now feel blog spot is a much better place to blog as the control that it gives on templates are so good and very flexible. May be i would be more intrested to blog because of this.
