The sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81 was released 9. June 2007 at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii.

A spiral-shaped system of stars, dust, and gas clouds, the galaxy's arms wind all the way down into the nucleus. Though the galaxy is located 11.6 million light-years away, the Hubble Space Telescope's view is so sharp that it can resolve individual stars, along with open star clusters, globular star clusters, and even glowing regions of fluorescent gas. The Hubble data was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys in 2004 through 2006. This colour composite was assembled from images taken in blue, visible, and infrared light.

sachins best knocks

It's a strange age, 35. In sport, your major achievements would be behind you. In almost everything else in life, you would be looking ahead. Is that true though with Sachin Tendulkar? Would he merely play out the last stage of his career? Or would he power on and do something that he has never done? The odds would be against a staggering new achievement but you can never tell with genius. It thinks differently, and indeed, genius is the word that most readily comes to mind when you think of Tendulkar. From the extraordinary career that he has crafted, to pick five innings is difficult, even if you condense the search to those that you have seen. It will stimulate debate but that is part of the fun!! So here we go:

14th Feb, 1992
India are 3-0 down and Tendulkar has only just moved to number four in the batting order in the previous test after batting at six before that. The track is traditional Perth and every Indian batsman is struggling with the bounce. Except one. Tendulkar comes out firing, plays some of his best shots towards the longest square boundary I have seen. Intriguingly, for a small man, he is able to get on top of the ball and hit it down. India lose easily but a world star is born. He is not yet 19. Probably the best Tendulkar century.

26th March, 1998
Australia are in India and the ball is starting to turn for Shane Warne. It has been billed as the encounter between the modern giants; Warne vs Tendulkar. In the first innings at Chennai, Tendulkar lasts 4 balls against Warne, attacking every one of them. In the second, India need someone to launch a counter-attack so that they can set a target and have enough time to win. In the dressing room, Tendulkar puts his hand up to play that innings. His 155 is one of the most dramatic innings I have seen and when Warne goes round the wicket to bowl into the rough, Tendulkar hits him against the turn into the stands. It is a stunning shot, one that he has, like a chess player, prepared for. One of the great counter-attacking innings you will see.

28th Jan, 1999
Pakistan are in India after 20 years, the security is immense and the crowd is sporting, cheering both sides on. It can only happen in Chennai. In a close game, India are set 270 and are 6 for 2 when Tendulkar comes out to bat. The wickets continue to tumble and at 82 for 5 Tendulkar at last finds a partner, Nayan Mongia, willing to hang around. Against Wasim Akram and Saqlain Mushtaq at their peak of powers, Tendulkar offers both defence and strategic attack. Then, his back gives way. Unable to play as he wants to, he launches a thrilling attack. It is too good to last but when he is out, only 16 remain. Sadly the rest of the batsman can only add another 4. It was one of the greatest innings ever played for the various facets it enveloped and, like so much of great theatre, emerged as a tragedy for the home crowd who gave Pakistan a standing ovation

23rd of May, 1999
India are at the World Cup in England and tragedy has befallen the Tendulkar family. Sachin's father, a huge source of encouragement, has suddenly died in Mumbai and he has to return home. For the first time in his life, he says he doesn't want to play cricket, but his family realises that his grief can only be overcome by his beloved game. In his absence, India lose to Zimbabwe, and when he rejoins the team in Bristol, he is wearing dark glasses. He never wears that kind. They are thick and are meant to hide eyes that are swollen with tears and grief. It is only little Kenya he is playing against but he counters swirling emotions and when he gets to a hundred, he looks up and says thank you. All of us have tears in our eyes.

2nd March, 2008
India are in the final of the last tri-series to be played in Australia. They are in inconsistent form and Tendulkar has never scored a one-day century in
Australia, though he has 41 others. They love him there and stand every time he enters or exits a ground. This time they will applaud a very special innings as Tendulkar crafts a stunning run-chase to remain not out on 117. It comes off only 120 balls and he is a month and a half short of 35.

Big B on sachin

Firstly, I would like to wish Sachin a very happy birthday. Sachin started very young and this has added to his longevity, giving him a longer span of time during which to establish himself.

He has exceptional talent and received recognition at an early age. He proved his worth and value quickly and early on in the sports arena, and duly established himself. His achievements have been phenomenal. Very few start as young as he did, and with that comes the danger of early burnout. Fortunately that has not happened with Sachin. He has displayed the ability to continue.

It has not always been smooth-sailing for him, however, in areas like physical fitness and loss of form. In sports oriented fields, people quickly put you aside when you are unable to live up to expectations or perform. But Sachin has continued to amaze us, year after year, time after time.

I think the basis for enduring success is whether you continue to be liked and whether your performance has been consistently top grade. This requires perseverance, persistence, patience and the ability to come up with new kinds of successes and remain in the eye of those watching you as a performer.

As you go along, the experience you gain propels you further. Sachin's dogged perseverance is commendable and his experience has stood him in good stead even as newcomers have entered the team. In fact he has been a guiding force for new and young talent; and sometimes where juniors have failed, he has succeeded.
With experience and seniority, also comes the question of leadership.

bhajji comments on sachin

I remember the first time I met Sachin was in Chandigarh in 1996, on the eve of a Test match against Sri Lanka. The team management had called me to have a look at me. I was about 16 years old then.

I went to the nets and was finally called to bowl. So I bowled in front of him and other senior members of the team. That was the first time I saw him. I was very scared then, wondering what was going to happen. There were all these big names there, Azhar, Sachin, Sidhu and Kumble, and I was in awe of all of them.

At my debut Test, in 1998, I could hardly realise what was happening, but he was always there for me and any other newcomer, trying to make us feel at home. But I was scared of him. Every time he came in front of me, I would go silent. I was scared to approach him because he wa

If I saw him coming, I would go out the other way, or if by chance, our paths crossed, I would greet him saying, 'Good morning sir'. He still pulls my leg about that.
I remember once we were flying to Sharjah. Harvinder Singh and I were sitting on the seats beside Sachin. Neither of us knew English. The air hostess would ask us something, and we would just look at each other wondering what to say.

We were feeling awkward and the thought that Sachin might hear us speaking incorrect English. He has never forgotten this story either. He has a great sense of humour about which no one knows. He can trigger a laugh riot. He is a big prankster, and has a great memory. He could remember a conversation from 100 years ago.

People love him, admire him and respect him. Even 10 Shahrukh Khans and 10 Amitabh Bachchans fade away in front of him. Everybody wants a name and fame like his. Even I want that, ever since I started playing. I have been lucky enough to play with him for 10 years.

Sachin has always given me good advice and I cherish all that he has told me. I wish all the luck in the world to a wonderful human being and an extraordinary cricketer.

s my hero.

virendar sehwag on sachin

Virender Sehwag

I scored my first international century in Sri Lanka, against New Zealand, in a tri-series match. I was elated, even more so because my team-mates said then that I batted like Sachin Tendulkar.

I wondered what Sachin would have said had he been there. But he had not come to Sri Lanka because of injury. When I reached the hotel, a fax awaited me. It was from Sachin, a congratulatory message, saying that he had enjoyed my innings.

Those were the early days of my career, and that was one of the best of them. I had scored my first century and then got the ultimate praise from my idol. What else could I have asked for? I grew up idolising Sachin. I would watch him on television and try to copy his shots in the house. I believe I have learnt a lot by watching him bat on TV. him, I would always keep a close watch on what he did. Initially, I was not a good player. I improved a lot after taking tips from him.

Until then, I had never known that Sachin was so humble, but I was soon to realise just how down to earth he is. Whenever I have a problem, I go to him. If I became regular member of the Indian team, it was largely because of his help. When I was out of the team, he would keep advising me to never lose hope, and to focus. I've not come across a player who is so inspiring.

I remember I was struggling for runs in Australia. I went to him for advice. He simply said forget everything. “When you bat, think of your father, think of your mother and wife.” The advice worked wonders for me. I got a 40-odd score in that Test. The next Test I played I got 151. That Test was in Perth.

Even in Chennai, he was constantly advising me what to do. I may have got two triple centuries, but I honestly feel Sachin is capable of much bigger scores. Many have said I can break Brian Lara's world record of 400 one day. But I feel among Indian batsmen, Sachin is the one who can break the record.

I have often been told that I look and play like Sachin. I have felt honoured by such comparisons. Being a Sachin clone is an honour in itself.

Dhonis comment on sachin

MS Dhoni
I am not a very keen watcher of the game, especially on television. But I love watching Sachin Tendulkar bat. During the 2003 World Cup final, I actually got up and switched off my television as soon as Sachin got out. He was always the idol, the big player I looked up to when I began my career.

I tried to copy his style on practice wickets. It was easy on concrete wickets, because the ball doesn't do too much. But eventually, when I first saw the video of my batting, it was nothing close to what Tendulkar used to do.

While batting with him, Sachin relaxes you down. He helps you develop the right strategy. He uses all his experience and comes up with a gameplan for a particular situation.

If you compare what Sachin thinks about the game in a particular situation with where your own game is, it really helps to know where you stand. Watching him bat from the non-striker's end is good fun, especially when he is going after the bowlers.

The challenges Sachin has faced over the past 19 years have been huge. It is not only about on-field performance, but also about being able to compete with the fittest individuals in the team. I think to be consistent throughout is phenomenal. He is a very special guy who has been made by God to play cricket at its best.

When I was growing up, Tendulkar was my role model. As a wicket-keeper batsman the person I was trying to follow was Adam Gilchrist. I never knew Gilchrist while I got to know Sachin over the years. One thing we have in common is our love for speed.

He tells me which car is better, which car is faster. He is into cars and I am into bikes but our common passion is speed. I would love to race against him. Sachin in his car and me on my bike. Of course, I would be designing the track.

tis was golden words wat dhoni had said about sachin....

Don't wear ID cards out of the campus!!!!!! !!!! plz don't ignore especially Indian software engineers



Most important thing is that, please keep your company ID card inside the pocket / Purse and do not show it outside people once you come out from the company premises. Otherwise it is the primary identification that you are IT Tech guy and they may follow you.
Many IT guys are going outside with their Company ID and that leads the identification of Software Engineer to the external world.

These people were attacked when they were coming back from work or when they were travelling late at night; People with knifes, swords, guns attack in groups of 3 - 4 or may be even more .Another trick that they use is to tie GI metal strings in the middle of the roads and when some one crashes because of it they loot them .Lets us not fall into this trap .Please take precaution and make sure no one loses anything coz we work in the nights and for a better tomorrow - let us make sure that we see that tomorrow.
Some tips to avoid these situations--

4. Make sure you wear a helmet coz that can avoid you from a serious crash on your head.
5. Avoid using short cuts to reach home like roads without street lights and also sad and scary roads.
6. Make sure you carry all your documents when you are going out in the night coz that will avoid you taking a short cut home trying to avoid the cops.
7. Inform (clearly) your family when you are leaving home and also inform your friends where you will be and which way you are coming and as well avoid meeting people in remote places.
8. Avoid giving drops, lifts to people whom you don't know and also to people when are travelling in the nights.

10. Make sure you inform the police if you any see anything unusual or people moving around suspiciously.
11. If there is a fight happening on the road please avoid it and if you see a accident help the person , then immediately leave or inform the police and make sure you did your part remove the perception that you

14. Scream and shout on top of your voice to draw others attention/help
15. Carry some chilli power/pepper powder or even a divider (remember yr campus box, and throw on the attacker to temporarily immobilize him. These are allowed to be carried under self defence act. If not anything just give the attacker a hard blow/ throw him off balance.

Petrol is cheap

.

I filled up my car's fuel tank, and I thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike.

But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.

To know why, see the results below – you'll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are!!

Diesel (regular) in Mumbai : Rs.36.08 per litre

Petrol (speed) in Mumbai : Rs.52 per litre

Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre

Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre

Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre

Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre

Medicinal Mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre

Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre

Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre

Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre

Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER!! And the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre

Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 100 ml Rs. 50 = Rs. 500 per litre

Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre

Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre

And this is the REAL KICKER...

HP DeskJet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs. 90476 per litre!!!

Now you know why computer printers are so cheap? So they have you hooked for the ink!

So, the next time you're at the pump, don't curse anyone – just be glad your car doesn't run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !

be kewl in ur life and njoy the most...!!!!!!!!!

cheers

ramesh :)

interesting but confusing

Three friends went to a hotel. The bill was Rs 75/-

Each one contributed Rs.25/-.

The waiter took the bill to the cashier.

The cashier was happy & decided to give them a discount of Rs.5/- & asked the waiter to return them Rs.5/-.

Now the waiter was confused. How to distribute Rs 5 among 3 persons?

He kept Rs 2 in his pocket & gave one rupee to each one of the 3 persons.

So initially each one had contributed Rs.25. Now as they are given 1 rupee back, their contribution reduces to Rs 24.

They all contributed Rs 24 -- that is 24x3=72 & 2 rupees are in the waiters pocket.

The total becomes 74. But they had paid Rs 75.

Where is the remaining 1 rupee?.

Dating Secrets

How To Date An Aries Female March 21-April 20

If you are dating an Aries female, take her out to the shooting

range. Bring an extra gun for her to shoot with you. (She is capable of

shooting at you, if you rile her anger.) Wear tight jeans, a red

shirt and look manly. Pick her up on your Harley Davidson , but remind her

you have a private race car collection. Be Macho! Do not talk about

old girlfriends! Aries females must be the only "one". Cooking isn't

her goal in life, but adventure will get her attention! Don't be a

pushover, she'll lose interest, and look for another challenge. Tell

her she is really cool, and the most fun and exciting woman you were

ever with. (This will probably not be a lie.) She values honesty,

don't fabricate! Be careful though, if this Aries female really

likes you, she'll chase you until she can propose to you. Aries females

means business and are not recommended for timid men!

How To Date An Aries Male March 21-April 20

If you are dating an Aries male, allow him to decide where to go

and what to do. Let him know that you have never dated a man

with such confidence and brains. You can be the dumb blonde

with this guy, he'll save you. If you are out with him and you flirt

with someone else, be prepared to call a cab to get home. Aries

males do like skin and cleavage, therefore, you could win him back. It

will not work a second time. He can argue with you, and when you think you

have won, he will still do it his way. He wants to chase you, so let

him do the calling and guesswork. Don't tell him you love him, until

he proposes. To catch this hot-blooded Aries man, give the Ram his

head and follow his lead. Everyday is an adventure to an Aries male,

marriage is also. Rest up!

How To Date A Taurus Female April 21-May 21

If you are dating a Taurus female, take her to an expensive steak

house, rub on your soft musk, wear your corporate suit, and arrive

in your four-door sedan. If it is paid for, you may drop that subtlety

in your conversation during dinner. Taurus females prefer tender hugs

and quiet candlelight dinners at home, prepared by you. She'll return

the love by cooking for you at her home. When mentioning the house you

would like to build, make sure you tell her about the large wooded

lot with room for kids and dogs. If you are serious about her, let

her know that it wouldn't be complete without a woman's touch. She will

interpret your comment and hint about a cute little 20 carat diamond

she spotted at the mall. Taurus females are warm and loving! (Unless

you make her mad or jealous. Don't tell her you spent your rent

money to buy drugs.) Taurus Females are security minded, and will stick by

you!

How To Date A Taurus Male April 21-May 21

If you are dating a Taurus male, be prepared to watch lots of

movies at his home. His dog will eventually accept the two of

you being together. A real treat will be when he takes you out

to dinner to a four star restaurant. Taurus males will think you

look great in forest green, however, they like nudity above all.

Taurus males have the cuddly teddy bear approach to love.

He will certainly have his arm around you, during the movies.

If you want to win his heart, get him a cold beer without him

asking you. He will of course, apologize for his messy home.

He would know he had your love, if you surprised him by

cleaning it up, and making the chili when he entertains his

friends for Monday night football. He likes to take his own

sweet time, so don't push him. He is the marrying kind.

Visualize Mr. Taurus, watching television from his recliner, dog

at his feet, a child under each arm, complete with TV guide

and beer can pyramid.

How To Date A Gemini Female May 22 - June21

If you are dating a Gemini female, arrive on your mountain bike

built for two. Ask her if she would like to ride over to the bar,

and shoot a game of pool, because a lot of your buddies hang out there

and they are fun! If that doesn't work, then suggest skating, a coffee

house, or hanging out at the bookstore. Wear casual clothes and be

prepared to talk a lot. Talk about the fascinating people you know,

the intellectual types preferably. Tell her about the book you are
