I know many people will faint after looking this blog. But who cares. Anyways it valentine. Last year I was with my love. And now i am alone. Its not good be single when you often feel lonely. Anyways getting back on the present time. Today I am happy I have a friend of mine who is so caring and ITEM. I did fell for her as well, but thanks to her she made everything right again. There are very few who can make wrong things right. So finally, I asked her to be my valentine since we are very best buddies and she gave me affirmative response. I got valentine it doesn’t mean that I am in love or something. It just two close buddies can celebrate this valentine. But its damn fcking tough to forget your past and move on. NO matter what you do, how busy you keep yourself, how far you run from it, your past never leaves you. One day I am gonna forget everything about my first love. And I pray, that day never comes in my life.

For now, I am damn sleepy and not done with test papers for tomorrows test in class. So take care. Bye

As per my personal opinion, AVOYDHA VERDICT should stop their games and should give the peace message to the India and to the world. I don’t know why but somewhere in my mind, after looking all the aspects of ruling parties and their options, I feel verdict is gonna be in HINDU’s favor or there will be MUSEUM of Indian archeology. Lets see. I am predicting this 2 hours before the result announcement.

But no matter what, we Indians need to grow up. We need thousands of BHAGAT SINGH to shoot the politicians and Under-world, in the country and outside the country. We need millions of Gandhi for satyagraha. and We need lakhs of Raman for the empowerment of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY in the country.

Established by Congress on March 3, 1915, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or the NACA, convened its first meeting a few weeks later with marching orders to “supervise and direct the scientific study of the problems of flight, with a view to their practical solutions.”

By the time the NACA morphed into NASA in 1958, the nation’s best and brightest aeronautical engineers had established world-class laboratories, steadfastly pioneered the unknown of flight and won five Collier Trophies, the greatest honor in aviation.

“In fact, there are no production airplanes flying anywhere in the world today that do not rely on some technology derived from NACA research,” said Jaiwon Shin, associate administrator for NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate in Washington.

When the NACA was formed, a dozen years had passed since the Wright Brothers made their historic flight at Kitty Hawk, and Americans had yet to embrace the airplane. We were more impressed in 1915 by Henry Ford producing his one millionth automobile.

Aeronautical researchers in Europe, however, were more aggressive in developing the airplane and by the time World War I began in 1914 the United States was behind the world in aviation. Forming the NACA was a direct response to that situation.

Laboratories in Virginia, California and Ohio were constructed and soon became the centers of aviation research tasked by the committee. It was at these places known as Langley, Ames, Dryden and Lewis that the NACA made some of the most important contributions to aviation. They included development of a:

• Cowling to improve the cooling of a radial engine, which also reduced drag on the aircraft.
• Wind tunnel that can simulate air density at different altitudes, which engineers used to design and test dozens of wing cross-section shapes.
• Wind tunnel with slots in its wall that allowed researchers to take measurements of aerodynamic forces at near supersonic speeds.
• Design principle involving the shape of an aircraft’s wing in relation to the rest of the airplane to reduce drag and allow supersonic flight.

In addition to the technical discoveries, one of the greatest contributions of the NACA was its insistence on producing and widely distributing its reports, memoranda and notes, which allowed the rest of the aviation community to take full advantage of the research results.

All of these contributions continue to be in use today and further opened the doors to enhancement as research methods and technology improved, namely going from the slide rule to the desktop computer.

The NACA ceased to exist in its own right on Sept. 30, 1958—becoming the foundation for NASA, which opened for business the next day.

By that time, the jet age had arrived and NACA researchers already were studying problems regarding spaceflight, including how to return an object in space through Earth’s atmosphere.

Overnight, NASA inherited a generation of experience in managing government research projects, operating the finest laboratories and wind tunnels, and training the brightest aeronautical engineers to conduct cutting-edge research.

The rapid rise of the space program that followed, and NASA’s ability to successfully answer President Kennedy’s challenge to the moon would not have been possible without that firm foundation laid by the NACA.

The NACA’s spirit and innovative approach to research continues today, said Richard P. Hallion, a respected aviation historian and author of the NASA publication On the Frontier: Flight Research at Dryden, 1946-1981.

“The fact that we had an NACA serves today as an inspiration to our modern aeronautics researchers, many of whom are working in the same facilities created in the heyday of the NACA. They remain committed to the same quest for excellence as the original trailblazers.”

Anyways, when i started using computer about 6 years back, I used to only google and get information on whatever I like or of my interest. It was an excellent fun reading articles which we don’t know. And then one of the buddy told about the ‘STUMBLE’ what a toolbar. Still I praise it, ‘What an idea!’ I use to stumble a lot. and keep marking sites but googling was more fun than stumble.

Then I grew a bit and start YAHOO!  Messenger and Orkut. And forgot the charm of articles and knowledge and everything seems to be changing and its still continue. I got so many online friends, some of them still holds a very importance position in life and more over I met my love online first (but sooner we met and things going along very nicely).

Then comes the master of all, little but amazing, TWITTER. 140 words of glory. What to say about TWITTER. Only because of TWITTER I got free wap/internet schemes on mobile. Its not addictive but its something which is short and sweet.

I’m still madly following twitter where as I go very less online on orkut and Yahoo! Messenger. And even only because of TWITTER and some blogger friends on TWITTER started reading articles on internet and now www,google.com is my teacher. Follow me on TWITTER, its a very nice to hang out in your virtual world.

Writing here after a quite long time. But what to do..!! Lost the internet connection at my place. (Haven’t paid the pill, actually ). Anyways I  may not be writing here frequently till feb because I’m going home, my home, my hometown, yyyyaaayyyyy..!! Thought of doing revision for the exam at my home. Because I haven’t spend more than consequent 10 days at my home in last 5 years. Now kinda feeling home-seak and really want to take rest before the final exam. Anyway just for info I am appearing for GATE ’10

Catta ya all soon..

Take Care
