I suddenly remebered this little man.
My real hero...
Who gave redefined the meaning of two words
1.NON-VIOLENCE,
2.MAHATHMA.
Yes Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi!!!!!
He is the real hero.
But thanks to the currency notes the indians still remember him.....
But Mahathma wont be happy.If he sees the current Indian political/social scenario.
But rather than discussing on that....I would like to post on his memoirs.....
As a British-educated lawyer, Gandhi first employed his ideas through peaceful civil fight in the Indian community's struggle for civil rights in South Africa. Upon his return to India, he organized poor farmers and labourers to protest against oppressive taxation and widespread discrimination. Accepting leadership of the Indian National Congress, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for the alleviation of poverty, for the liberation of women, for brotherhood amongst differing religions and ethnicities, for an end to untouchability and caste discrimination, and for the economic self-sufficiency of the nation, but above all for Swaraj—the independence of India from foreign domination. Gandhi famously led Indians in the Sathyagrah against the salt tax on the 400 kilometre (248 miles) Dandi Salt March in 1930, and in an open call for the British to Quit India in 1942. He was imprisoned for many years on numerous occasions in both South Africa and India.
Gandhi practised and advocated non-violence and truth, even in the most extreme situations. A student of Hindu philosophy, he lived simply, organizing an ashram that was self-sufficient in its needs. Making his own clothes—the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl woven with a charkha—he lived on a simple vegetarian diet. He used rigorous fasts, for long periods, for both self-purification and protest.He was shot dead by Godse on January 30, 1948 (aged 78).
Some rare photos....
In his memoirs....

Handwriting of the Mahathma
We should not forget him.
Rember that this year United Nations announced his birthday(october 2nd ) as world non-violence day!!!
And I am not an exception.
I wanted this post to be dedicated to cricket.....
All know the facts involved with cricket.
So as a different measure,I tried to post this.
Skip the following post..........
And just read the note at the bottom....
The different ways in which a batsmen can be dismissed ......
1.Caught— When a fielder catches the ball before it bounces and after the batsman has struck it with the bat or it has come into contact with the batsman's glove while it is in contact with the bat handle. The bowler and catcher are both credited with the dismissal. (Law 32)
2.Bowled — When a delivered ball hits the stumps at the batsman's end, and dislodges one or both of the bails. This happens regardless of whether the batsman has edged the ball onto the stumps or not. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 30)
3.Leg before wicket (lbw) — When a delivered ball misses the bat and strikes the batsman's leg, pad or body, and the umpire judges that the ball would otherwise have struck the stumps. The laws of cricket stipulate certain exceptions. For instance, a delivery pitching outside the line of leg stump should not result in an lbw dismissal, while a delivery hitting the batsman outside the line of the off stump should result in an lbw dismissal only if the batsman makes no attempt to play the ball with the bat. The bowler is credited with the dismissal.
4.Run out— When a fielder, bowler or wicket-keeper removes one or both of the bails with the ball by hitting the stumps whilst a batsman is still running between the two ends. The ball can either hit the stumps directly or the fielder's hand with the ball inside it can be used to dislodge the bails. Such a dismissal is not officially credited to any player, although the identities of the fielder or fielders involved are often noted in brackets on the scorecard.
5.Stumped — When the batsman leaves his crease in playing a delivery, voluntarily or involuntarily, but the ball goes to the wicket-keeper who uses it to remove one or both of the bails through hitting the bail(s) or the wicket before the batsman has remade his ground. The bowler and wicket-keeper are both credited. This generally requires the keeper to be standing within arm's length of the wicket, which is done mainly to spin bowling. (Law 39)
6.Hit wicket — When the batsman accidentally knocks the stumps with either the body or the bat, causing one or both of the bails to be dislodged, either in playing a shot or in taking off for the first run. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 35)
8.Hit the ball twice — When the batsman deliberately strikes the ball a second time, except for the sole purpose of guarding his wicket. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 34)
9.Obstructing the field — When a batsman deliberately hinders a fielder attempting to field the ball. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 37)
10.Timed out — When a new batsman takes more than three minutes to take his position in the field to replace a dismissed batsman (If the delay is protracted, the umpires may cause the match to be forfeited). This rule prevents the batting team using time limits of the game to unfair advantage. No player is credited with the dismissal.

He is none other than the former famous pakistani captain Inzamam-ul-Haq!!!!
INZY SEEN IN ACTION (in the forfeited test match)
Having started this blog and posting 13 posts....
I realised today that I have missed out the most used software in my PC.
Today was my semester practical exam.But I was working on this blog instead of studying for my digital exam.Today morning I rushed up with a half an hour study. But since this is my usual habit for all the exams.I was not afraid.I should mention that as I selected a question from the randomly placed sheets I was little tensed.But when I saw the questions i felt the rush of adrenaline.They were easy i knew.The practicals turned out to be as easy as a 20-20 match for india.
As I was connecting the circuit in my exam and when the LED glowed,suddenly my brain lit up.The idea about a post on kaspersky came to my mind.
So here is my post on kaspersky.
Kaspersky is an antivirus software.I regard this as the best antivirus software in the world(wonder why google is not into it???).
According to AV-Comparatives, Kaspersky Anti-Virus (formerly known as AntiViral Toolkit Pro) rates highly amongst virus scanners in terms of detection rates. In 2006 Kaspersky Anti-Virus was ranked second, and was the recipient of the TopTenReviews Gold Award.According to PC World magazine, Kaspersky antivirus software provides the fastest updates for new virus and security threats in the industry.
Regardless,of the all these reviews.According to me they are just blah...blah...nonsense.This antivirus is able to detect every process in the computer.You can't ask for a better software.
And i love the way it detects the virus,as soon as you insert a pendrive with virus.You see the pop up sayin the virus was detected......I just love this antivirus.....

Download and experience the power of kaspersky!!!!!

As far as I remember,this was my first chess puzzle.
This is quite famous through out the world.
Ah! i got a post....My brain...knew this puzzle for the past
THE EIGHT QUEEN PUZZLE
There is a simple algorithm yielding a solution to the n queens puzzle for n = 1 or any n ≥ 4:
1.Divide n by 12. Remember the remainder (it's 8 for the
eight queens puzzle).
2.Write a list of the even numbers from 2 to n in order.
3.If the remainder is 3 or 9, move 2 to the end of the list.4.Append the odd numbers from 1 to n in order, but, if the remainder is 8, switch pairs (i.e. 3, 1, 7, 5, 11, 9, …).
5.If the remainder is 2, switch the places of 1 and 3, then move 5 to the end of the list.
6.If the remainder is 3 or 9, move 1 and 3 to the end of the list.
7.Place the first-column queen in the row with the first number in the list, place the second-column queen in the row with the second number in the list, etc.
For n = 8 this results in the solution shown above. A few more examples follow.
- 14 queens (remainder 2): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 3, 1, 7, 9, 11, 13, 5.
- 15 queens (remainder 3): 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 2, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 1, 3.
- 20 queens (remainder 8): 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 3, 1, 7, 5, 11, 9, 15, 13, 19, 17.
The eight queens puzzle has 92 distinct solutions. If solutions that differ only by symmetry operations (rotations and reflections) of the board are counted as one, the puzzle has 12 unique solutions, which are presented below:
