Kargil 10 years,is it really slowing down?,vga cables a problem on the backside,big bands sad breakups

Hi


Well it has been a very good week for me.My tests went on well and I finally ended up finishing what I was really planning to do over the last couple of months by a VGA cable to help enable me to watch movies on tv from the laptop.It has also been a week where thanks to the media it was a walk down memory lane where I reflected my thoughts on Kargil and old classic bands.Oh!those good times

In today's post I shall be talking about Kargil and how thanks to the media(for once their right) we still remember them,Is the slump of the economy slowing down,how finding the right VGA cable was a real pain on the back side and finally a look back at some of the greatest bands and a feeling of disappointment for me as they have broken up....

'Kargil was something that inspired many Indians to join the army'-Yogendra Singh Yadav-Param vir chakra awardee.

Ten years on it still inspires true patriots to join the army and help protect their country.I was a little too small (about 5 yrs) to understand what was actually happening all I sensed was that there was tension as my dad used to put on the television and there used t be some red flashing lines and some explosions.But I did see the documentary on the tele this year and realised what a real display of might will and patriotism by the Indian army.What happened in the beginning when many regions such as tiger hill were captured by the Pakistanis killing more than 200 soldiers made the whole country drop their jaws and some burn in rage.It took absolute will determination and planning to drive them out.People such as Captain Vikram Batra who died in the very end of the war are really the true heroes of our country."we will See who is on top of the hill" he told his enemy commander in a radio conversation and he risked his own life for another soldier stating that he had children and a wife and asked him to get back.A truly noble soul who in many years will continue to be an inspiration for others.But I was absolutely levied that neither the prime minister nor the president (chief of the army) made it to the memorial site.Lets just hope the we never forget their sacrifice
People like Vikram Batra are truly what Indians represent 'assertive and caring'.JAI HIND

Next I would like to move on to a topic that is kind of instilling hope into everyone present in the Worlds largest economy.Recent figures show that the rate of decline of profits this quarter has slowed down.Even though the companies didn't make profits they made more than what they expected.The housing sector for the first time in a really long time is looking healthy with prices starting to steady a little bit.But one thing I have to point out is the 14 billion $ profits made by Goldman Sachs ,incredible that's about 110 million dollars per employee.But the one thing that makes me apprehensive is that they are returning back the money to the US govt.They are continuing the risky dirty practises that led to the cause of the slump.But all round I think its safe to say the worst may have just passed.Lets just hope its right.

Next I would like to talk on how absolutely no website provided me the right information on what was the right vga cable to buy so as to enable me to see a movie on my tv that I had downloaded from the laptop.After six visits to the hardware ship I finally ended up getting the right cable and the audio cable

these are the combinations possible
1.the best one is to have HDMI cable on both the sides.This enables you to both see the video and audio on the tv.
2.if you don't have a HDMI port then you can buy a 15 pin VGA cable for the video and then you can buy a 3.5 mm jack acellory port for the audio.
3.you can also have a 15 plug vga cable and have component output if you don't have a 15 pin plug on your tv .for the audio you can by an audio cable also having component audio
4.finally you can s video connecting your tv and laptop and have the same two audio components.

I would like to end this weeks post with a feeling of sadness that bands that performed truly amazing songs have broken up during their peak.I was just listing this week to a few songs by the Beatles and I was amazed to hear the kind of music that they made.Later I heard a few songs by the ABBA.I had heard that these bands had broken up.I felt so bad that bands like what I mentioned above had to break up when they were creating amazing music.Just imagining what kind of music they would have produced if they were still alive is way beyond imagination.I don't seem to get the cause maybe starting solo career but they didn't come close to what they did when were together as a band.The Beatles are gone so that's a miss but I like many hope that ABBA maybe reunite and for one last time perform....

Well that's it for this weeks post

Will be back next week

Till then
Take care

Israel -Gaza the truth,another air crash,Last wishes of a dyin man,

Hey,


It has been a really long time since I last posted my views.Well tests and shifting kept me preoccupied.All said I am really happy that I could find time to post today

Well in the last one month there have a been a lot of things that have changed.I would on this weeks post like to talk on the truth that came out from Israel Gaza war that took place last winter,How the number of air crashes in the world is on a rise and how Kim Jong Il seems to be creating a lot of suspicion

Nearly six months after the war between Gaza and Israel the truth just seems to be seeping out.A startling revelation was made on Tuesday when reports suggested that Israel soldiers used civilians of Gaza as a human shield to protect themselves.a CNN report showed how the civilians felt threatened when they were forced to act as human shields.According to the report the civilians would be right in front of the soldiers and the soldiers placed their guns on the shoulder of the civilians.
Really brutal considering the fact these were just innocent civilians.The defence team of the country have refused to comment but according many societies in the country who support truth movements , they believe that this is very much true and needs to be stopped if there are any chances of a peace between the two countries.Well,if things go this way its just not possible for the two countries to co exist...

Next I would like to talk on how the number of air crash this year has increased to incredible rate.Recently an Iranian flight heading to Armenia crashed killing all 168 on board.The numbers are alarmingly increasing.But why the no of deaths just this year so far is greater than the number dead over the last two years.That's a little interesting as I thought that as time passes technology increases.One reason could be is the low morale in everyone due to this global economy turmoil .The number of safety precautions have considerably reduced as companies are cutting costs continuously to stand a chance to survive in this extreme conditions.Hence a few no of people are employed and pushed to do more jobs.As a part of cutting costs the human life is at stake.......... doesn't seem wise to me.

I would like to end this weeks post with what seems to be a growing tension every day between the two Korea's.North Korea has reportedly fired three nuclear missiles (short range) and has caused many nations to have a suspicious eye over the country.Last week the Prime minister Kim Jung Il made a rare public appearance for the 50th year of liberation of Korea.But as it was noticed he seemed to be limping suggesting that he had a stroke and was thus paralysed.If reports are to be believed the mans future seems very grim and very short.But it's the dying mans to wish to empower North Korea as a nuclear power and suppress its neighbours South Korea who many claim have a better condition and lifestyle.The testing of nuclear missiles seems to be increasing every month and would not surprise any body if one day The missile would be aimed at South Korea.It may be a decision out of desperation for a dying man........

That's it for this weeks post
Will surely update next week

Till then
Take Care
