It was another orthopedic case where I had to advice an elastocrepe bandage and pain killers. As usual I was about to return to my duty room when I noticed the nursing attendant put something away into the table drawer. I was curious to know what that precious item was which he was trying to keep in his posession. I opened the drawer and found the label from the empty container of the elastocrepe bandage which was used on the patient. It made no sense to me as to why a label should be stored along with other important items in the table drawer and I could not help but satisfy my curiousity by asking the attendant about it. He was at first reluctant to answer which only fuelled my inquisitiveness and he answered sheepishly. A medical representative has offered him cash benefits for each label of the bandage which will be used to replace the labels of the free samples that the medical representative is supposed to give to the doctors for free (free samples contain the label that it is n...

I could not help sharing this video after seeing it in Krishna's blog. I was touched, deeply moved and above all highly inspired. This reminded me not to judge anybody by their external appearance and not to be cynical. It also reminded me that dreams can be fulfilled no matter how old you are. Rarely do I get to see such an inspiring video. Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent by dwarthy

Legend has it that Sri Krishna was born on a dark, stormy and windy night of on the eighth day (Ashtami) in the month of Sravana. But for me the 13th night/14th day in the Krishna paksha in the month of Magha or Phalguna is Sree Krishna Jayanthi. Of course it is that day when the world celebrates Sivaratri, I celebrate the birth of my Krishna. As a kid whenever I used to pray to Lord Krishna, I used to wonder if he will ever come for comforting me in human form as he has done for many of his devotees. Since this is Kali yuga, the chances of such a possibility was theoretically less. But I was proved wrong. The greatest favor by the social networking website Orkut ever did to me is to bring Krishna to me. Ever since we met online, he has always been on my side; on times of happiness and despair. I can't say if he is the bestest friend, big brother or Lord Krishna himself. I guess he is all in one. I have always considered him as Krishna, his brother as Balarama, mother as Yasodha,...

Wish you a quick recovery Mr. Singh so that you can resume your office soon. The Indian Prime Minister underwent his 2nd bypass surgery at AIIMS. An 11-member team from the AHI led by Dr Ramakant Panda performed the beating-heart operation on 76-year-old Mr. Singh. The whole country is anxious and the business stocks are sensitive to the health outcome. The benchmark BSE index fell more than 1.5 percent before regaining a little ground. India will celebrate its Republic day on 26th January which he will not be able to attend.

The U.S. government is advising consumers to avoid cookies, crackers, ice cream etcN made with peanut butter or peanut paste. As you already might know, an investigation is going on about an outbreak of salmonella illness that is believed to have killed six people and sickened at least 485 others across the country. It is unclear how the peanut products were contaminated with Salmonella species. Infact many of the nations large scale manufacturers and retailers are voluntarily withdrawing peanut butter products from their shelves. If you are one of the concerned U.S. resident worried about the kind of products that are suspected to be infected with Salmonella, check out the following link on the website of F.D.A. It maintains a periodically updated list of food products subject to recall in the United States since January 2009 related to peanut butter and peanut paste recalled by Peanut Corporation of America.

There is a post in Mashable about Google Notebook users pleading through an online petition, a Facebook group, and a “Save Notebook” blog against the proposed withdrawal of its service. Since there are other alternatives I would rather let the Google notebook service rest in peace. There is a similar notebook service from Yahoo too. It is not that I am against Google. It is just that there are other viable services and we should not be entirely dependent on Google. But personally, deep in my mind, I wish (and pray) Google would keep up people's trust on its services and let the notebook service hold on to its life. They should just invent some kind of contextual or other forms of advertisement to keep it going.

There has been many times I have searched online for the essential bookmarklets whenever I use a different computer or reinstall my browser. Of course I could have just bookmarked them in Delicious and reinstall it from there. Maybe I was just lazy to bookmark all my bookmarklets. For those who are unfamiliar to bookmarklets - A bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program that can be stored as a URL within a bookmark in most popular web browsers, or within hyperlinks on a web page. Bookmarklets serve advanced functions and are very useful if you use browsers like Google chrome which does not support addons and doesn't have much inbuilt functions. Cybernetnews has listed a set of very useful bookmarklets under an apt title - The best bookmarklets for your browser. Click the link below to grab them!  Link: http://cybernetnews.com/2006/12/27/cybernotes-the-best-bookmarklets-for-your-browser/

You might have already read the news item on the U.S. Airways passenger plane as it conducted an emergency landing into the Hudson River Jan. 15, 2009. The video of that incident is there in Youtube. The video was captured by Coast Guard Vessel Traffic Service. This is one of the hottest videos on Youtube right now with more than 3 Lakh views.

I am using the JS-Kit commenting system from today. JS-Kit does more than just replace Blogger’s built-in commenting system. You can comment using your facebook ID. It saves me the pain of introducing facebook connect to my blogger account. It imports existing comments and provides live synchronizaiton of new comments with Blogger. I would recommend this for every blogger. Every time a visitor leaves a comment on your blog using JS-Kit interface, the comment is instantly copied to Blogger’s built-in commenting system. If for any reason you disable JS-Kit Comments on your blog, your visitor comments will be preserved on Blogger. This feature is something that was missing from Disqus or Intensedebate commenting systems.

This reminds me of the old Roman empire when people used to watch men kill each other in the colloseum. We can watch the RIAA trial live online and have the same sadistic pleasure. Maybe this could act as a deterrent to potential pirates and would infact prevent online thefts. But curiously RIAA opposed the broadcast and the judge aptly called the situation "curious".

Now that Google Notebook is going to be shut down, we need a similar service to do the job. Though popular tech websites recommend Evernote , what works for me the best is Snipd . Snipd works from a bookmarklet and you can select the part of the webpage you want to save online. You can even clip videos from sites like youtube. No matter which service you are going to use, just make sure that you backup your data from Google notebook since it is going to shut down.

I happened to watch an amazing video on how easy it is to set up Google friend connect on blogger. I thought it is not possible on blogger as it needs to install two html pages to the site. Thanks to the following video on youtube I can now enable it in my blog. The trick is simple – you don’t need to upload the 2 files!
