My favorite quotes

Some of my favorite quotes from http://www.brainyquote.com

Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it.

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.

A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself.
by Niels Bohr

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears.
Les Brown

From the deepest desires often come the deadliest hate.

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Socrates

I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.

Love is metaphysical gravity.

Now there is one outstanding important fact regarding spaceship earth, and that is that no instruction book came with it.

R. Buckminster Fuller

A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.

In life you need either inspiration or desperation.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life's deepest joy: true fulfillment.

Tony Robbins

Dust does rise, doesn't it? And so can I.
Dionne Warwick

Some more:

Appologising doesn't mean that your are wrong and other is right…It only means that you value your relationship more than you're your ego.

You are happy when you choose to be happy।

If everybody is happy with you, you have made lot of compromises in your life.

LET THE THINGS HAPPEN!!!

for a misc blog....things we dont know.. and some keyboard shortcuts

Here are few interesting facts that are very usual to know but we are unaware!

Things we didn’t know (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backronym )

• SOS, the international distress signal is chosen solely for its easy recognizability in Morse code(...---...). The International Wireless Telegraph Convention makes no mention that it stands for "save our ship", "save our souls", or "send out succour".
In Morse code is S = … (3 dots), O = --- (3 dashes)

• ISO The International Organization for Standardization chose the three letters "ISO" as a short form of its name, based partly on the Greek word Isos which means equal. This has often been assumed to be an acronym for "International Standards Organization", even though the correct title of the organization is "International Organization for Standardization".

I will keep adding more things to this blog.

And here are few shortcuts for computer users:

. use F7 to activate cursor on web page
. use F11 for full screen
. use CTRL+ page up/down to move across sheets in MS Office excel
( this was really tough to find )

. To change tabs in Mozilla, double click on the top of the tab, and use arrow key
. use "windiff" in run command in windows to see file/directory differences.
. CTRL+G for jumping to page number ( in word or pdf)
. F6 to go to address bar in mozilla
. Window key + L to lock your PC.

showers at delhi

This weekend was the coolest one... sudden showers and cloudy days dipped the temperature way down to call it a summer.( and ofcourse the consequence being me sneezing since then :-)
I could see the rainbow right on the way.

The whole sky was covered with cloud. it was awesome. Here are few snaps from my sony k750i's camera which was nonfunctional but suddenly started clicking in that good weather. and after those charming snaps it gave up again :-(.

I could capture the flight just above the gurgaon delhi highway (NH-8) :-)
