Saad’s Dialogue Tank
Fellas, To spice up things a bit, I rendered this axiom to make its look acceptable in this modern era where respect is usually given to remixes of the past.
Ya’ll must hav come across this saying before, “Slow and Steady wins the race” – at least back in the childhood, when this was used as a Moral in the “Hare and the Tortoise” Story.
So I edited it and gave a new form, which stands like,
The Too Fast and Too Furious wins the race!
More in the “Incoming List”!
3.3 Billion people, if not the whole world are hooked on to their screens blaring scenes from Beijing, where the world famed, Olympics Games, 2008, is running with full vehemence. Restaurants, Diners, Hotels and even corporate addresses are victims of the so-called Olympics Fever and why should that be abnormal – when the stunning display of inauguration ceremony cast a magnetizing and a jaw-dropping effect in the on the millions of watchers all around the globe.
The huge contemporary Olympics village, which stands in the dimension of a huge-Chinese legendary dragon, took many years and came up big at a cost of $40 Billion+, the most expensive and extravagant arrangement in Olympic History.
Just a couple of days before the startup, the Chinese were taken aback by the stubborn haze-formation which stood above the village trying to distort that glitzy-picture, the China wanted to portray. This demanded an additional $13 Billion to be pumped in, which in turn formulated a pretty view which was much projected.
To make sure the opening open was rain-free, Chinese send around 1,104 customized rockets to moderate the weather and to root out the terror fears, the officials appointed 500,000+ paramilitary personnel in and around the locus of the Bird’s Nest Stadium, a huge stadium with the capacity to hold 91,000 audiences and which got that name from its distinct shape of a bird’s nest.
To make sure the Poverty visibility status was 0% in Beijing, it veiled the surrounding slum-areas with special wall with, the main slogan “One World, One Dream”, pasted on them at the so called “fun and Brighter” side of China. Below is a picture to support my argument.
So people and critics even argue that many events in the Chinese Olympics (Day 1), were trying to pull wool over the eyes, for instance, they state that the lil’ small girl who rhymed a Chinese poem did nothing but move her lips as everything was pre-recorded. They move on in their “Questioning Spree” by also mentioning that the fire-works, for the viewers behind their TV sets, were edited and made more glorious.
What went against the truth is certainly known by the people, who’re the organizers, a support for the general fact that Chinese market is filled with duped product. Even at our place, when people look at something with a “Made in China” label, they think twice. Maybe that was the reason it was compelled to make the next generation of labels, “Made in PRC*”.
But, what can’t be denied is the reality that China is really in a velocity trying to get a top position at the “List of the Powerful and Competitive Countries”, a move which is required of India if it wants to achieve the 2020 dream, which would be like “putting-into-action” the words of a wise person who remarked, “Get influenced by the good actions and not the bad ones”
* stands for People’s Republic of China

Hello, Fellas
Out of an extreme yearning to post this one on my blog, I broke my resolution which was not to post anything in this month of June so you guys better appreciate it. Gud Luk! 
Hi, there
I took sum time out of my xtremely busy schedule (ya’ right), and posted this article up here.
So here it goes … Ever since I updated my Blog about 15 days ago, the traffic turning in has been certainly incredibly astonishing. Getting an average of 266.8 per day is really weird because there’s nothing in here which is worth giving a memento or something, but that’s actually good for me as I can consider the idea of signing up for the Google Adsense Program and can start earning. (if it really works!!!)
I presume there are certain factors which cause some amount of surge in the incoming traffic levels to any blog or website and they were as follows:
1) keeping its face updated with anything, even adding a new link will do (In my case, I keep on changing the theme)
2) Submittal of your URL address to some of the top search engines. (This is something I did on the very first day of blogging as I was getting crazy of my stats…Mo’s article, ‘Lifecycle of a Blogger’ is true after all!)
3) writing about something which is talked about every now and then (in my case the post, ‘Hello Kitty for Men!’ was the most attracting one)
4) Of course, reminding everyone in your contact list (of your brain) about your website or blog. (I even pinned a paper onto the corridor NOTICE BOARD, featuring my blog’s address, http://ivitamins.wordpress.com, To my horror It was ripped out the next day by some moderator.)
5) Always keep testing the ways you can increase traffic and be on the lookout for innovative pointers.
And these bullets down here are the factors which can cause an decline in the amount of attraction (in kgs or…):
1) By posting articles and writings that the aggressive and immoral,
2) By uploading certain damage-causing elements like spywares, malwares, etc.
3) This list can go on forever more…
I’ll logout for the rest of the day.

(If you are still relying on Google to snoop on your friends, you are behind the curve.)
Armed with new and established Web sites, people are uncovering surprising details about colleagues, lovers and strangers that often don’t turn up in a simple Internet search. Though none of these sites can reveal anything that isn’t already available publicly, they can make it much easier to find. And most of them are free.
Wendy Bounds on when venture-capitalists hire spies. Read her latest post and share your thoughts.
Zaba Inc.’s ZabaSearch.com turns up public records such as criminal history and birthdates. SpockNetworks Inc.’s Spock.com and Wink Technologies Inc.’s Wink.com are “people-search engines” that specialize in digging up personal pages, such as social-networking profiles, buried deep in the Web. Spokeo.com is a search site operated by Spokeo Inc., a startup that lets users see what their friends are doing on other Web sites. Zillow Inc.’s Zillow.com estimates the value of people’s homes, while the Huffington Post’s Fundrace feature tracks their campaign donations. Jigsaw Data Corp.’s Jigsaw.com, meanwhile, lets people share details with each other from business cards they’ve collected — a sort of gray market for Rolodex data.
Some people have come across dirt on their loved ones without even looking for it. Doug Orlyk, a 42-
year-old librarian in Bensenville, Ill., recently turned to ZabaSearch to find his new boyfriend’s address so that he could send him a card. Instead, he found out that the boyfriend had been lying about his age — he was 43 years old, not 35 as he had claimed to be on the dating site where Mr. Orlyk had met him. “I thought, ‘You’re a liar! You’re older than I am!,’” Mr. Orlyk recalls. His new relationship ended soon thereafter.

Now, ya’ll will prob’ly get freaked out by these words “Camp X-Ray”, because of what it talks about:Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Phew! Place where the most wicked and ugliest techniques are used against the detainees. So, My Indian School has a bit of similar attitudes towards us. On the first day of my joining, I was made to undergo questioning (take it as interrogation) for >> not wearing the right Shoes. I even heard rumors that one of our ex-academic instructors was escorted away by POLICE for breaking a child arm AND my Dad came across a discussion about my School in which it was told by one his colleagues that aGrade-2 teacher slapped a child so hard on the face that he had to be admitted into the HOSPITAL with severe injuries on the face and suffered a partial deafness in one of his ears. I myself witnessed a guy being insulted by a tutor who used all the foul language he could. This “banging and blowing” scenes are just not being created here but perhaps in every Indian school on earth despite severe warning made by concerned departments.
I have a feeling that the current teachers working in Indian Schools cast more terror than knowledge on the child. I read an article the other day about abuse which mentioned that if students are dealt harshly, their creativity starts to diminish. With a survey performed by some of my counterparts, we discovered that about 75% of the students in my school need “out-of-school” tutorials. The Reason: Simply because they hated the way it is presented to them @ the classroom.
So, this time one more terrifying move by our school was all the classrooms in the campus are getting armed with cameras and intercom systems. The funny part is that the rooms have no CLOCKS and we’re going to get cameras!! I’m really happy about the fact that this is going to be my last year in this virtual prison in where no one can question the higher cheese.
Talking about Academics, we learn the stuff which were discovered or invented years back and the Indian Curriculum when compared with IGCSE can easily inflict a sensation in one’s mind that Indian Education Process really needs to evolve a great deal. (Example: In the computer curriculum we learn the functionality of DOS, whereas the other boards around the world shed light on what’s going on around the world, O.S. like XP, Vista, Mac, etc) Indian Tutors and Professionals are noted for their intellect and mastery in their concerned field, so if we have a proper consultation and a well-baked Road Map we can really hope to see every Indian being given priority where ever they go.
PS: Be careful when ya enter our Labs, there are worth billions of Dollars, because everything in it is Antique.
More to come on: Indian Schools
Hey Ya’ll …
After a gap of almost 2.5 weeks, I jus tiptoed in for a moment to see whether my blog was funtioning. I’ve got 2 xams remaining and will be right bac after to put The Juice Factory™ (formerly known as La Communiqué™) on the top again with new posts and notes;-).
Grrr… My mom’s asking me to back off from the screen!
BTW, Keep Visiting!

The days of pressing tangible buttons to operate TVs and cell phones may
one day be replaced by waving, clapping, and pointing. With two upcoming products, Sony Ericsson´s Z555 gesture phone and JVC´s “Snap & Gesture” TV technology, users can communicate with their gadgets using a pre-programmed “sign language.”
Tata Nano, the world smallest car, had made its maiden visit outside the curtain. Its sleek and attractive design cast a jaw-dropping spell on the watchers. People were amazed beyond words as the car looks like an everyday car and costs almost a fraction of the car prices in India.
What else do ya want? I guess its gonna be a blessing for the ones with modest incomes. People in their hundreds made way into the stall and shelled out bucks for this car.
Priced @round US$2500, the all new TATA venture is a serious HIT! Its 10 feet long (smaller than the previous smallest Indian car, the Maruti Suzuki 800) and has got: room for 5 people (skinny ones), a mileage of 22km/liter, a 624 cc engine that gives 33 bhp.
The VERDICT is out by the Indian public – “This car is just the thing, the 2 wheeler-obsessed Indian people desired”.
This release of Nano marked the beginning of a race by the other motor giants to get their “Nanobreed” on roads. TATA plans to put 10 million Nano’s on the roads in 5 years. Nano hunger has gripped not only the Indians but also the Americans who are also in need for fuel-efficient cars.
But first, I wud suggest the Indian government to implement the idea of creating world-class roads ASAP (As soon as possible).
The Green Peace dudes are alaready on the roads in their huge numbers armed with slogans and a determination to eliminate the pollution-causing stuff. They argue that the Nano will cause pollutions in the already heavily polluted India, to soar much to fatal levels.
Get set to receive, TATA Nano, The Most Wanted!
Oh! wait a minute! What do we see? … We’ve got competition already,
Renault has teamed up with Mahindra to create a US$3000 budget car and it looks better off than the humble Nano.
Below is an inside view of the Renault Mahindra YENI. Simply Stunning!
Visualize having a coffee and reading a newspaper whilst commuting at 250km/hr all by yourself. Yep! That will definitely be possible – in a decade’s time. Researchers @ GM’s R&D (Research and Development) Unit said that they predict these driverless cars to be out in around 2018. The plan is to use an inexpensive computer chip and an antenna to link vehicles equipped with radar-based cruise control, lane change warning devices, electronic stability control, satellite global positioning systems and digital maps. It may be a boon for the physically challenged. So what I saw in the movie “i-Robot” is actually factual: People with hands free gadgets: mobiles, cars, doors, computers, machines, etc.
Prototypes are already on the roads and automobile companies are racing each other, like usual, to get their one on the stage. The US Department of Defense even held a race to test these prototypes. About 30 teams each with their ‘Driverless Car’ participated in the contest. Some teams faced an early “knock out” as their vehicle did some serious mistakes: some crashed into buildings while one of them mysteriously pulled into a house’s carport and parked itself.
Duh! All by themselves! Bingo! This is one more drawback on the list: “If the car feels tired, it’ll take a rest, no matter what the owner wants!” Phew, we can’t allow a car to dictate. My friend once told me, ‘If ya keep on adding advanced stuff into the car, it merely becomes a complex box’. Thatz what all the cars are coming down to.
No doubt, no more driving but commanding your vehicle to follow orders will be great, but surely it has its own disadvantages. If they plan to use ‘in-built’ computer systems for these intelligent vehicles, then there may be a possibility of them getting infected with viruses, Trojans, Spyware, etc just like any other present-day computer. And the rest of the surviving “earthlings” will witness the unleashing of a new breed of Hackers: Automobile hackers. I’m sure if they are prepared to come out with these space-age cars, they must hav, at the same time, thought of the anti-virus software too.
Time for Symantec and McAfee to get cracking in going “off the grid” to create the first Anti-virus for Cars.
We have predicted the possible advent of Driverless Cars, So whatz next … Flying Cars or Airplane Cars!
If I pick up any guy off the streets @ random and ask him the following 5 questions, this is how he’s going to respond.
Q. Did you know that Princess Diana died in a Car Accident?
A. Of course
Q. Did you know that Prince Charles married his new-love, Camilla Bowles Parker?
A. Yes
Q. Did you know that they got married in a famous Ball-Room?
A. Yeah
Q. Did you know that Prince Charles had two sons while she had two daughters?
A. Grrr! Yep.
Q. Did you know what she got in presents?
A. Ye…err, no.
He may very well be among the sort of people who are unaware of the answer to that particular question.
And that’z what I’m going to enlighten ya’ll about in this article of mine. Here it goes…
Prince Charles and Camilla Bowles Parker who were married in a glitzy and an attractive wedding ceremony in London are probably the richest and the most celebrated “Ol’-Couple”. And, what do you give a couple who seem to have almost everything? The answer is: Jewels, Designer Carpets, an Arabian Stallion – and a shopping bag.
The presents were among the 247 individual items the royal couple received from foreign
dignitaries and representatives of the public on official tours they made in the last 12 months. They prob’ly got the best gifts from the Gulf States which included: a necklace, a brooch and a belt, another necklace from the Qatari family and four glass bottles of perfumes. She was also presented with two black abayas – full-length robes and veils worn by women. Another set of glittering presents came from Bahrain consisting of a costly watch, a silver box with a pearl inset while the couple was also given the “Jewel-encrusted Ceremonial Arabic sword”.
On another trip to Kuwait, Prince Charles received another extravagant watch and a pistol from the commandant of Kuwait’s Military Staff College. An unnamed dude bought him an Arabian Stallion – the second he has received in many years.
He also was given a Whirling Dervish hat from the mayor of Konya on a visit to Turkey in November.
Some gifts were similar: the couple received six dhow models, a couple of carpets, 68 books and three walking canes. Other Presents were less “Bling-Bling”: on a trip to the United States in January they got a signed American football, two baseball caps, a shopping Bag, Chutney, maple syrup and some honey.
The total cost of the presents remains undisclosed. (Its value might be in Billions of $$)
Google.com is the one of the fastest growing web-venture having invaded most of the Internet Categories. Blogosphere, Mailing Service, Search Department, News Service, Maps are some of the zones it conquered and there are even some rumors that its going to cum up wit its own OS (Operating System). Keeping the speed of Google.com online in mind, envisage the velocity of the OS. If Google’s really coming out with their latest weapon against Apple Inc. and Microsoft Corp., its own version of the OS, I’ll prob’ly be their first costumer. In the near future GOOGLE’s going to cum up wit its own products and widgets. People have various interpretations of Google’s Future and below is just one. Ya will luv IT!
Despite several measures taken by the international community to curb the high-oil prices, Oil Prices seem adamant in its stand in the US$90 Range. Yesterday it reached its all time high worth US$100 a barrel, following unrest in Nigeria. This high price leaves the
Oil-Rich countries with “large –Petrodollar” sums and the developing nations with more to disburse and some great financial questions to take care of because Oil Prices are not going to negotiate about going down anymore!
Instead it’ll be heading towards the US$200 Mark.
