A POEM FOR INTERNET USERS

Hey friends, I just found an interesting poem from my cousin’s English book of 11^th standard for daily internet users like me. What I do daily when I start up my internet is all listed here. Hope you would like it.

-Mary Mathew

As I boot up my PC,

My modem dialing next to me,

I ask the lord, give me a sign…

Will I ever get on – line????

If you’d kindly let me through,

I’ll byte no more that I can chew

I’ll surf the waves amid the Net,

With my mouse, my loyal pet.

And through each window I will see,

The websites that are offered me.

Resisting any chat room’s lure,

I’ll download only what is pure.

If system-errors don’t prevail,

I’ll vow to read all my e-mail.

If you save me from a crash,

I’ll dump my games into trash.

Just please don’t take my CD-ROM!

Thank you lord, God Bless.Com

SO I think you have liked this poem and the first word from your mouth I would like to hear from you is WOW! (Oh! Thank you very much. You just said it). So now comment it.

I Recently got my first ever SIM card of my life. I hadn't got the body for my SIM so was keeping myself relieved by just seeing the SIM. On observing the SIM, i just came out with a question "What does SIM really means?". As soon as the idea came, i searched on internet for the answer and the answer was simple Subscriber's Identity Module(SIM) and the name really has its meaning too. I am not describing the whole history of that but giving here a brief description of it.

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) on a removable SIM Card securely stores the service subscriber key used to identify a subscriber on mobile telephony devices (such as computers and mobile phones). The SIM card allows users to change phones by simply removing the SIM card from one mobile phone and inserting it into another mobile phone or broadband telephony device.

SIM cards are available in two standard sizes. The first is the size of a credit card(85.60 mm × 53.98 mm x 0.76 mm). The newer, more popular miniature-version has a width of 25 mm, a height of 15 mm, and a thickness of 0.76 mm. However most SIM cards are supplied as a full-sized card with the smaller card held in place by a few plastic links and can be easily broken off to be used in a phone that uses the smaller SIM.

Each SIM Card stores a unique International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI). The format of this number is as follows:

• The first 3 digits represent the Mobile Country Code (MCC)
  
• The next 2 digits represent the Mobile Network Code (MNC)
  
• The next 10 digits represent the mobile station identification number.

Now a days SIMs are available for GSM and CDMA handsets. I think GSM is the best as u can remove the SIM from your mobile handsets and get it into your friend's one.

Hope this post will add up to your knowledge as of mine. You can share some more information with me if you have by posting some comments.

SURYANAMASKARA - my ideal exercise

After a two months exercise and suryanamskara, i felt that i should write a post on my blog on this topic. Suryanamaskara really makes my day beautiful.

Sun Worship/ Salutation has been an important aspect of daily routine of many people in India from the Vedic times. It is one of the six accepted and orthodox forms of worship. But unlike other well known sects of worship like of Siva, Vishnu, Sakti, Ganesa or Kartikeya, which are done in temples and homes usually with icons/idols, the Sun Worship is done in the open during the day time. “Worship the Sun for Health” exhorts the Vedas. (Aarogyam Bhaskaraath iccheth). Thousands of people can be seen saluting the sun at dawn at noon and at dusk, facing respectively the East, North and South, with or without mantras. Some worship the Sun with Mantras alone and some do namaskara or salutation alone without the mantras in several ways.

The physical--alone namaskara usually is made up of a start from standing position, prostrate with the arms stretched forward, then return to the starting position. This is known as danda samarpanam and is perhaps the most common method of physical form of Sun Salutation. The more elaborate method of Surya Namaskara usually involves twelve steps which include some asana like tadasana (mounting pose), uttanasana (forward bend), the dog poses. In the vinyasa karma as taught by my Guru, Sri Krishnamacharya, it involves 12 steps done in a sequence, starting from Tadasana and traversing through asanas like uttanasana, utkatasana, caturanga dandasana, dand samarpana, urdhwa and adhomukha swanasana and returning to tadasana via utkatasana and uttanasana. Further all the movements are done with synchronized breathing.

Here i am describing the 12 steps of suryanamaskara

STEP ONE:Stand facing the direction of the sun with both feet touching. Bring the hands together, palm-to-palm, at the heart.

STEP TWO:Inhale and raise the arms upward. Slowly bend backward, stretching arms above the head.
STEP THREE:Exhale slowly bending forward, touching the earth with respect until the hands are in line with the feet, head touching knees.
STEP FOUR:Inhale and move the right leg back away from the body in a wide backward step. Keep the hands and feet firmly on the ground, with the left foot between the hands. Raise the head.
STEP FIVE:While exhaling, bring the left foot together with the right. Keep arms straight, raise the hips and align the head with the arms, forming an upward arch.
STEP SIX:Exhale and lower the body to the floor until the the feet, knees, hands, chest, and forehead are touching the ground.
STEP SEVEN:Inhale and slowly raise the head and bend backward as much as possible, bending the spine to the maximum (as in the naga-asana).
STEP EIGHT:While exhaling, bring the left foot together with the right. Keep arms straight, raise the hips and align the head with the arms, forming an upward arch.
STEP NINE:Inhale and move the right leg back away from the body in a wide backward step. Keep the hands and feet firmly on the ground, with the left foot between the hands. Raise the head.
STEP TEN:Exhale slowly bending forward, touching the earth with respect until the hands are in line with the feet, head touching knees.
STEP ELEVEN:Inhale and raise the arms upward. Slowly bend backward, stretching arms above the head.
STEP TWELVE:Stand facing the direction of the sun with both feet touching. Bring the hands together, palm-to-palm, at the heart.
