Football Fever.....were we Stand..??

We a country of nearly 1 billion people......in asia one of the superpowers...but still our FIFA football ranking lies languishing at 134...such a pitty....!!
What can be done..what will be done.hoe it will be done...when it will be done......
These questions strike me everytime i hear or indulge myself in the conversation related to football.
The craze among the youth is crusly not freezing but the real stumble stone till now is our own sports infrastructure.
I agree we dont hav an inbuilt sports culture but we need to built it big time now.........

Obsession

To me cricket is obsession,
Always a cherished possession

Its always been my dream,
To play and win for my team

The Ball, Bat and the 22yd pitch,
Makes me  feel witch

The running, fielding in air,
Celebration with great flair

Any instant my fav player bat,
I am just glued and i sat

The moment our team won,
It's like a dream run

What a teammmmmmm,
And I  screammmmmmm

My first Poem.........The Transformation

My cricket coach was really mad,
Which made players very sad,
Omg....what a game we had,
we were really bad.

Our jersey was deep red,
our captain was so dead,
We all think,
that we stink.

But one Sunday we won,
and the pace was done,
And we did celebrate,
As we thought we were great.

Time for a push to commonwealth games project work

The 2010 Commonwealth Games are scheduled to be held in  New Delhi  ,  India   between 3 October and 14 October 2010. With a population of over 15  million  , Delhi is one of the largest cities in the world. This will be the largest  multi-sport event   conducted to date in Delhi and India generally, which has previously hosted the  Asian Games   in  1951   and  1982  . The opening ceremony is scheduled to take place at the  Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi  .

This is the first time the Commonwealth Games will be held in India, which will be the third developing country to host the event (after Jamaica in 1966 and Malaysia in 1998 ). This is the second time the event has been held in Asia (after 1998).


In January 2005, the Commonwealth Games Federation vice-president Raja Randhir Singh expressed concern that Delhi was behind schedule in forming an organising committee. On 18 January 2008.


The mega event is due to be held in the month of October next year; but only 40 % of the total preparation for the Games have been completed till now. An observation to this effect was made by the Common Wealth Games preparation review committee, which recently visited the sites where construction for CW Games 2010 is going on at present. Going by the huge magnitude of the event that will take place with more than 10000 athletes vying for honors in various sports disciplines, It does look quite a mammoth task for the concerned agencies to prepare the remaining infrastructure for an event which is just 8 months away now.

Spintronics......my first real new technology experience.......

Your home computer, your car stereo, and your workplace copy machine - electronics all - operate using the movement of charge-carrying electrons. Although we've done quite well exploiting the electron's charge, scientists are working on harnessing another, more obscure property of the tiny particle - its spin. In Friday's issue of the journal Science, researchers discuss the state of the art in "spintronics," and the challenges that must be met before this new breed of electronics can power a variety of future devices.

"Spin" is a convenient term for a property of the electron (and other subatomic particles) that's tricky to describe outside the quantum realm. In general, spin refers to the angular momentum - the rotational momentum - of a particle that creates its own tiny magnetic field. Spin comes in two flavors: "spin-up" and "spin-down." When a collection of electrons are all spinning the same way, either up or down, the tiny magnetic fields associated with each electron can add up to one large magnetic moment. Magnetism in some materials such as iron, for instance, comes in part from the cumulative orientation of spin in all the electrons in the material.

Just like the positive/negative duo of charge, the 0s and 1s of current information technology, this up/down pairing makes spin an attractive possibility for encoding and carrying information electronically. The additional information pathway represented by spin will boost the performance of electronic products, leading to smaller and faster devices that don't consume as much power as traditional electronics, says Science author Stuart 

Another indian create history

Once again we have proved our mantle in the feild of science and technology. An IIT student named "pranav mistry" have put forwaded a awesome new concept called "SIXTH SENSE". it is close to a humanoid robot. the idea perceived by him is a new stepping stone forward in human advancedment.The SixthSense prototype is comprised of a pocket projector, a mirror and a camera. The hardware components are coupled in a pendant like mobile wearable device. Both the projector and the camera are connected to the mobile computing device in the user's pocket. The projector projects visual information enabling surfaces, walls and physical objects around us to be used as interfaces; while the camera recognizes and tracks user's hand gestures and physical objects using computer-vision based techniques. The software program processes the video stream data captured by the camera and tracks the locations of the colored markers (visual tracking fiducials) at the tip of the user's fingers using simple computer-vision techniques. The movements and arrangements of these fiducials are interpreted into gestures that act as interaction instructions for the projected application interfaces. The maximum number of tracked fingers is only constrained by the number of unique fiducials, thus SixthSense also supports multi-touch and multi-user interaction.

The SixthSense prototype implements several applications that demonstrate the usefulness, viability and flexibility of the system. The map application lets the user navigate a map displayed on a nearby surface using hand gestures, similar to gestures supported by Multi-Touch based systems, letting the user zoom in, zoom out or pan using intuitive hand movements. The drawing application lets the user draw on any surface by tracking the fingertip movements of the user's index finger. SixthSense also recognizes user's freehand gestures (postures). For example, the SixthSense system implements a gestural camera that takes photos of the scene the user is looking at by detecting the 'framing' gesture. The user can stop by any surface or wall and flick through the photos he/she has taken. SixthSense also lets the user draw icons or symbols in the air using the movement of the index finger and recognizes those symbols as interaction instructions. For example, drawing a magnifying glass symbol takes the user to the map application or drawing an '@' symbol lets the user check his mail. The SixthSense system also augments physical objects the user is interacting with by projecting more information about these objects projected on them. For example, a newspaper can show live video news or dynamic information can be provided on a regular piece of paper. The gesture of drawing a circle on the user's wrist projects an analog watchThe current prototype system costs approximate $350 to build......
