I knew it by "Chinese New Year" only and this year is "the year of Pig" with increase in birthrate projected in China as they believe children bring prosperity in this year.
Found googles doodle linked to "Lunar New Year" instead of "Chinese New year". Globalization or lessons learnt for Chinese market? :-)
Wikipedia says,Lunar New Year is Celebrated by: China, Taiwan, South and North Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Singapore.
Happy New year all of you guys.
At HowStuffWorks, I found an interesting article titled "How Love Works". According to the article:

Love and non-violence (Ahimsa) are unparalleled in their impact. They require no fanfare—only self-confidence that arises from self-purification. People of impeccable character naturally inspire and elevate those around them. – Mahatma Gandhi
Today, 59 years ago, Nathuram Godse bowed before Mahatma Gandhi, wished him well, and then tragically shot him with a Beretta pistol.
Most of the world thinks Bush sucks
Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren't a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
Are we safer today than we were before?
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.

Thanks
Your post inspired me to yet again give this a go too!
I found that I turned all other proxies off, then opened Synaptic and configure the proxy it worked!!! My Firefox was off too, so it is likely a conflict between the gnome proxy settings and the Synaptic proxy settings.
Note to others, if you need to configure your Gnome proxy settings, ensure you then restart Synaptic ;)

Only jarring note I have heard about Walt Disney is that he was a control freak. But that might be both his plus and minus. Steve Jobs could well become a worthy successor.

Re: Teachers Day
Thanks Loga. Even I too recollected my Kendriya Vidyalaya School days. It was fun on the teachers day wherein the teacher would also come and enjoy the class from the last bench. :-)

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you.*
I watched Guru for the second time. Believe me, the movie was a lot better the second time, and its point about capitalism was more convincing than before, especially when one already knows what the movie is about. On the second viewing, thoughts of Dhirubhai Ambani or Bill Gates did not come to mind, while the rationale behind the arguments and thoughts of Gurubhai stood out more prominently.
plz don't make bill-g the icon of capitalism. he is hated for his slimy, unhackerly, unethical behavior. the same crowd doesn't hate larry & sergey.
bill became rich coz ibm was stupid. not coz he "created wealth" of that magnitude.
i am all for capitalism. 'atlas shrugged' (ayn rand) is my fav. bill is just a negative example.

Vaish,Shiva,Parthiban,Priya and I visited flower show at Lalbagh on 26th Jan. Variety of flowers were displayed, and I can hardly remember the names. Few of the bonsai costs Rs.5000/- and above. But bonsai was very nice. You could see a full grown dwarf trees. :-)
I captured few the flowers with my camera till my batteries went down and I could not buy a new set of batteries inside lalbagh.
The history department of Middlebury College has taken measures to stop citations from Wikipedia for student research papers. Yeah, that's in fact the correct thing to do. For research, we should always go to the primary source, and if that's not possible, a well-researched secondary source related to the primary source.
Wikipedia is so useful that students ended up citing it in their papers. However, when there was misinformation on Wikipedia, the students were unaware, and their papers contained errors. The teachers made the correct move by saying, "Cite Wikipedia at your own peril."
yes, citing Brittanica Encyclopaedia is also not allowed (as per their policy). But things with wikipedia hit when number of students cited the same wrong information.
Senthil
the same should hold for citations from Brittanica Encyclopaedia then.

I finished reading this book on Monday. It is an excellent book that tells the stories of many physicists working during the prime era of physics. It starts with Rutherford's story about his rustic nature and how he used to work in his lab.
I was amazed by the story of Max Planck, and I have decided to keep Max Planck as an example of being organized and disciplined in life. Max Planck was very organized, it seems. He used to come to the lab almost at the same time every day, and he had set aside half an hour daily for learning piano. His work style was appreciated by many. Einstein and others respected and loved him, addressing him as "our Planck." Later, in Einstein's story, I learned that Einstein resigned from his post in Germany during the troubled Nazi era, knowing that it would fall upon Planck to make the decision of removing Einstein. Einstein understood that Planck would feel uncomfortable doing it. Einstein then moved to Princeton as the political situation in Germany worsened under Hitler.
One funny thing I can recall is that during one of the anti-Einstein meetings, Einstein was present in the audience and enjoying it.
Niels Bohr is another scientist we come to know in detail. He, along with Einstein, was one of the primary characters in this book. Bohr had established an institute where many young physicists loved to study and conduct experiments. Physicists who had been there felt it was a golden era.
The final topic is on Einstein and Bohr's debate. Einstein believed that there is an organized approach in God's design of the universe, whereas Bohr's point of argument (as I understood) was that we have not yet understood the organization of the universe enough to comment on it. Bohr was an athlete and used to go for short sprints between scientific discussions and debates, it seems. :-)
Many of my friends will enjoy this book. Jonathan gifted it to me while I was in college, and Kannapan feels this is one of the best books he has ever read.
I took some snaps of the middle-page pictures using my Nokia 6600.
Thanks a lot for Your informative web-site
Great site, I am bookmarking it!Keep it up!

From Spastics Society of Karnataka Recreation club we all went to movie Happy Feet today.
Its a wonderful movie and one of the very good ones i have seen ever. The imagination of the animators will always bring a smile (an expression of wonder) in your face when you are watching the movie. With the first half filled with loads of fun, the second part takes a more serious turn where it appeals to human a concern for nature and shows the damage are doing. While watching the movie, you will being to show a lot of concern for mumble, the protognist, and wish him that he succeeds in his mission which you have begun to appreciate.
The movie has a star studded voice cast and the animation is just amazing! Kudoes to the australian team which worked on that.
Everyone of us who went, tried the tap dance at the end of happy feet.
Had a good time.
btw, I got into a habit of reading wikipedia article on the movie after I watch any movie. They provide a lot of interesting information and trivia.
We were discussing that LoveLace is voiced by Robbin Williams, but Ramon is also Robbin Williams. And mumble is Elijah Wood ( Frodo in LoTR), Ramya had forgot his name but she pointed out that its main character from LoTR. The group 4 fun-loving group of small penguins who call themselves amigos in the movie is a category called Adelie. Mumble and others are Emperor penguins and emperor penguins in reality get together with their soul mates using songs only! :-) The movie is decided to Steve Irvin.
Happy feet is another good one from Australia.
From the Recreation Club of the Spastics Society School (Spastics Society of Karnataka), we are heading to Happy Feet this morning at Inox. I hope we have a great time.
The Adventures of Tintin was the Wikipedia Featured Article on January 5th. I highly recommend reading it—it is well researched and offers many fascinating details for Tintin fans worldwide.
The comic strip series is celebrated for its clean, expressive drawings in Hergé's distinctive ligne claire style.
On June 1, 2006, the Dalai Lama bestowed the International Campaign for Tibet's Light of Truth award upon Tintin, along with South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This award recognized Hergé's book Tintin in Tibet, which ICT Europe's Executive Director Tsering Jampa described as an introduction to the awe-inspiring landscape and culture of Tibet. Accepting on behalf of the Hergé Foundation, Hergé's widow Fanny Rodwell remarked, "We never thought that this story of friendship would resonate for more than 40 years."
Charles de Gaulle once said, "My only international rival is Tintin."
