Be My Valentine
If you will be my Valentine
I'll give you gifts of Chocs and Wine,
I will love you all my days.
I'll even try to amend my ways.
Just say Yes, this once for me.
Say, My Valentine, you will be.
I will give you love and affection,
Even offer my protection.
If you say No and we're apart.
I'll feel an arrow through my Heart.
Don't let me down now, not this time,
Come and share my Bottle of Wine.
Say you'll love me, say you'll be mine,
O'h please, please, be my Valentine!
Fall of LTTE and Indian Perspective
By K. Prafull
The fall of Lacesation Tigers of Tamil Ealam is closely related to the disappearance of factors which enabled it survive for 30 years against the might of Sri Lankan armed forces. The following factors are important in the rise and fall of LTTE.
First, LTTE survived because of reluctance of international community to treat it as the terrorist organisation in the initial phase. It recieved ample material and financial support from Tamil diaspora settled in foreign counteries; with the obstruction of international community. It was, initially, able to project the image of a liberation movement fighting for the rights of a suppressed minority community. But after 09/11, the international community launched an all over war on terror. This led to the depletion of international support for LTTE and its recognition by international community.
Second, for survival, LTTE Supremo Prabhakaran played a hide and seek game for long time and was ultimately exposed. Whenever, it faced military heat, it would agree for negotiations to find a political solution of the problem, buy time to regroup and strengthen itself, and finally to range from its promise of negotiations. It happened several times most notably when India brokered peace agreement in 1987 and Norwaygian brokered ceasefire agreement in 2002. But second time, the Sri Lanka government was not willing to oblige LTTE for any genuine ceasefire and the government abrogated ceasefire agreement and security forces went ahead with an all round war against LTTE.
The third factor was the gradual alienation of larger Tamil community in Sri Lanka. But as the conflict went on without any viable solution in sight, the support of Tamil community to LTTE was forced due to fear of its military machine.
The fourth factor was depletion in Indian support to LTTE after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi on its behest. During the heyday of cold war in 1980s, India is alleged to have rendered financial, moral and military support to various Tamil Groups fighting in Sri Lanka. But after the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, India changed its policy of active involvement in the conflict. This deprived a vital diplomatic support from India to LTTE during implementation of 1987 peace accord. It developed a secret understanding with the government of Sri Lanka as both demanded the withdrawal of Indian forces from Sri Lanka, which were sent in pursuance of the above accord.
As far as Indian Stand on Tamil demand is concerned, India has never supported openly the separate homeland for Tamil by dividing the country. It has boristently upheld the they to give maximum autonomy to Tamils and find a political solution within the united Sri Lanka.

Finding Happiness
By K. Prafull
I feel finding happiness is like finding yourself. You can't find happiness, you can make happiness, and you can choose happiness.
I can remind a famous quote from Hugh Downs “A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a certain set of attitudes.” Yeah it completely depends over how you take thing.
Our happiness depends on us only; I like to share a story with you it is about an ass, belonging to an herb-seller who gave him too little food and too much work made a petition to god to be released from his present service and provided with another master. God, after warning him that he would repent his request, caused him to be sold to a tile-maker. Shortly afterwards, finding that he had heavier loads to carry and harder work in the brick-field, he petitioned for another change of master. God, telling him that it would be the last time that he could grant his request, ordained that he be sold to a tanner. The Ass found that he had fallen into worse hands, and noting his master's occupation, said, groaning: "It would have been better for me to have been either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the other of my former masters, than to have been bought by my present owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, and make me useful to him." This story tell sometimes we undervalue circumstances and mislay happiness unknowingly so we should always look at the positive side of the scene; the glass should be always half full, rather half empty.
We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get MBA degree, get a job, we’ll certainly be happy when well get own house. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when?
Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favourite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with... and remember that time waits for no one.
So, stop waiting ... until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you're off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you've had a drink, until you've sobered up, until you die, until you're born again to decide that.
There is no better time than right now to be happy and remember it’s only you who can make yourself happy.

The New Search
By K.Prafull
Search engine often fail when you want to know simple things. A classic instance is when you do not know precisely what you want, as a search engine always needs keywords to begin with. Here, semantic search engines can help you, as they search for meaning. But the technology is in early stages, and nobody has built a satisfactory semantic search engine. Now engineers at three institutions, including the Carlos III University of Madrid in Spain, have developed what could be the first semantic search engine for the financial sector. The finance sector probably lends itself easily for semantic search, as it has very precise vocabulary.
The semantic search engine, Sonar, can relate news and share valuations and prices, among other things. It achieves this by first adding data to a structured repository, and them using an inference engine and natural language processor to determine the relationships during a query. The product is designed for investors and financial institutions. Its newer versions are already under development, and the engineers are planning to expand the product to other domains such as transport and biotechnology.

Chipping In DNA pattern
By K. Prafull
As chip makers keep giving up faster and more energy efficient chips, industry observes have on doubt that they will hit a brick wall a decade or so later. Even if they do not, it is becoming difficult to increase the speed of silicon chips, while keeping them energy efficient. Several alternative have been proposed to silicon, but none of them are compatible with today's manufacturing techniques. Now, IBM and the California Institute of Technology in the US have jointly developed a better alternative - a process using the DNA as a model.
The DNA is used is as a scaffolding to assemble millions of very small particles extremely close together and in precise patterns. Making chips with components closer together helps make smaller devices and faster computers. Current semiconductor fabrication methods cannot place components of chips closer than 22 nanometres. But the IBM-CalTach team has managed to place particle as close as 6 nanometres. Nevertheless, the technique cannot be used to make chips right away. The dissipation of heat, as components get tinier and tinier, is a concern. Also, the technology could take 10 years to come to the market.

Hello world, Prafull is a kind of guy you can easily find anywere. He is neither so complex nor quite open. He has an expressive kind of attitude but introvert emotions. Always ready to change his way of thinking but never his decisions. You can trust him if he has given you his words but quite unpredictable. He is not so caring for everyone but honest about relationship. Sometimes rude but often humble. May be wrong sometimes but ever lies.
