Wonderfull lyrics from Godavari!! Hats off to Veturi!

I was just listening to this beautiful song from "Godavari", penned by Veturi.. The beauty is the lyricist mentioning the Swayamvaram episode in Ramayan and how Sita feels when she couldnt find Rama. I especially like the lines I gave in blue, which means the same Lord Rama who lifted Shiva's bow[said to be so heavy that no king/warrior[including Ravana] could lift it with all their might] with his left hand, can He lift the plaited hair of Sita while tying the knot!! This depicts a beautiful irony in the mind of a girl who couldnt make her dream boy marry her/like her, however powerfull he maybe!

రామ చక్కని సీత కి

"నీల గగన ఘనవిచలన ధరనిజా శ్రీ రమణ
మధుర వదన నలిన నయన మనవి వినరా రామా
రామ చక్కని సీతకి అరచేత గోరింత
ఇంత చక్కని చుక్కకి ఇంకెవరో మొగుడంట
రామ చక్కని సీతకి...

పుడత వీపున వేలు విడిచిన పుడమి అల్లుడు రాముడే
ఎడమ చేతిను శివుని విల్లును ఎత్తిన రాముడే
ఎత్తగలడా సీత జడను తాళి కట్టే వేళలో
రామ చక్కని సీతకి...

ఎర్ర జాబిలి చేయి గిల్లి రాముడేడని అడుగుతుంటే
చూడలేదని పెదవి చెప్పె చెప్పలేమని కనులు చెప్పె
నల్లపూసైనాడు దేవుడు నల్లని రఘురాముడు
రామ చక్కని సీతకి...

చుక్కనడిగా దిక్కునడిగా చెమ్మగిల్లిన చూపునడిగా
నీరు పొంగిన కనులలోన నీటి తెరలే అడ్డునిలిచే
చూసుకోమని మనసు తెలిపే మనసు మాటలు కాదుగా

రామ చక్కని సీతకి అరచేత గోరింత
ఇంత చక్కని చుక్కకి ఇంకెవరో మొగుడంట
రామ చక్కని సీతకి...

ఇందువదనా కొండరదన మందగమనా భామా
ఎందువలన ఇందూవదన ఇంత మదనా ప్రేమ?"

iPhone Nano & iPhone Shuffle!!..Crazzzy folks!

Seems like the world just couldnt get away from the dazzle and over-the-top hype of the iPhone. Now they started speculating about new iPhone variants on the lines of iPods!!--iPhone Nano, and iPhone Shuffle!!
Below is the photo that they manufactured and a short description below:
iPhone nano, iPhone shuffle

 The Authors of the post say:

iPhone Nano

All a cellphone needs is a phone, Web, and E-mail. That’s right: no SMS, no iPod. Of course, you can take pictures, notes and change the settings, if you really want to. No SMS: First mix E-mail with SMS and than make SMS disappear. In Japan, mobile phones just use E-mail. It’s cheap, simple and obvious. No iPod: keep it as a mobile phone, keep the mental model intact. Why does it feel weird to use a mobile phone as an MP3 player? Isn’t it nice to have everything in one device? No it’s not nice. It’s weird. The mere idea of listening to music on a phone makes me feel uncomfortable.

iPhone Shuffle

Just phone, mail, and the time. If you turn the device, you can read the mails. This little guy probably needs advanced speech recognition to add numbers, find your contacts quickly and write mail. Use side buttons to go through your library. You deal with the settings by plugging it into the USB port of your computer. If you’re bored you switch into shuffle mode to call a random dude. ;–)

"
Hahaha..Agreed that the iPhone do look cool, but it lacks basic features[No full bluetooth, no sms forwarding, no video recording, etc..]. Neither is it the first phone to have convergence of music, video n phone in one nor the first to have multi-touch screen. All the marketing gimmick can create a kind of hysteria that makes us believe any ordinary thing with some popular brand stuck on its face. Crazy people!!

G.E.’s Breakthrough Can Put 100 DVDs on a Disc

General Electric logoJust came across a news that GE has created a new lab produst that can store 100s of DVDs on a normal size DVD using holographic storage technology.
As a new york times report says:
"In G.E.’s approach, the holograms are scattered across a disc in a way that is similar to the formats used in today’s CDs, conventional DVDs and Blu-ray discs. So a player that could read microholographic storage discs could also read CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs. But holographic discs, with the technology G.E. has attained, could hold 500 gigabytes of data. Blu-ray is available in 25-gigabyte and 50-gigabyte discs, and a standard DVD holds 5 gigabytes."

The first research papers were published in the early 1960s but no major company has produced a labs version of it yet..
Wonder where the levels of storage is going!!

With love..
