Was surfing the web and found this picture, doesn't it look like a bouquet from the movie Avatar?

For this year's birthday I got quite a different present "Mechanix".

Was messing with it and assembled the following.

Some times I feel childhood days were better than the current professional life.

I miss those days

After moving to this new place, I have started using Sub-Urban Trains to reach other parts of the city.
One of the major problem is that to get the ticket you have to wait in a long queue and takes almost 10 minutes to get your ticket.

Since this is a mjor problem across lot of stations, Indian Railways has come up with Smart Card based Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVM) to issue the train tickets.
When you buy a smart card it has an initial card value of Rs.100/- and ticket value of of Rs. 50/- + Rs.2/- as bonus. This smart card can be re-charged in multiples of 50s upto a maximum of Rs. 500/-.
Once re-charged the smart card is valid for 6 months within which you have to re-charge.

Also the Rs. 50/- which is a non-ticket value is actually an inital deposit which will be re-funded when you surrender the smart card.

Obtaining a ticket is very easy. The following steps explain them.
1. Place the smart card in ATVM's smart card slot.
2. Select the destination.
3. If needed select the return ticket too.
4. Print the ticket.

The return ticket is valid till next day midnight !
It's so simple !

Received a mail with joke about a couple. Thought of posting here.

Sudha was about to leave office after finishing her work. She got a call from her husband Karthi,

Sudha: "Hello, yes Karthi".
Karthi: "Sudha, can you open my gmail and get a print out of the mail from that US consultant I forgot to take it in my office"
Sudha: "Yes, I can, I need your password"
Karthi: "jeni22091980"
Sudha: "Ok fine"

She takes the print out and logs out. Some thought struck her mind now.
JENI happens to be his college mate. Hmmm...

She decides not to discuss this with Karthi. She simply opens her mail box and changes the password from "mohan143" to "karthiSudha " and leaves for home!
MORAL OF THE STORY: Change your password! NOW!

Recently GAS prices have gone up in India and related to that I received some mails with pictures and thought of posting them here.
