It happened to enter in to the Stocks trading through one of my friends. My idea on Stocks was just loosing money. When I noticed my friend trading the stocks, it is not just putting money in to the stocks but with a lot of thinking after analysis. I know it is sort of emotions play key role in ups and downs on the share value. When some one sells the share in bulk the other person feel that the share value goes down and try to sell them out which result in collapse of the share value. The stock value depends on so many facts. It is so volatile.

One fine day I decided to buy some shares. I was waiting for the bearish market. Bearish is the term used in the Stock Market when the share value going down. Bullish is the trend when the stock value rises as a rocket into sky. So I bought some stocks in the bearish trend. I was expecting the share value to increase in couple of day’s time. But this is the stock market. The share value continued bearish trend and settled to the value lower than what I purchased for. Hope the market turns to bullish sooner

Following notes are taken from the lecture delivered by Jane Chen:

Premature babies struggle to stay alive after their birth as they are unable to control their
body temperature. They don’t have have enough fat on their body to stay warm. Around 20 million premature babies are born around the world every year.4 million of these babies do not survive.

Those who survive have chances of getting severe long term health problems . In the first month of the baby’s life, its only job is to grow. Due to the battle with hypothermia, premature baby’s organs can’t grow normally which can lead to problems like diabetes,heart disease and low IQ.

Many of these problems can be solved if these babies are kept warm. In the developed countries incubators are used widely to keep premature babies warm. The traditional incubators need electricity and cost up to 20000 dollars. Due to these reasons, it is not cost effective solution in rural areas of developing countries.

The rural people try to find local solution to this problem like tying hot water bottle around baby’s body
or placing them under light bulb. These methods are ineffective and unsafe. Jane Chen’s team designed a sleeping bag for the babies which has pouch of bag attached to it back. It has face changing material like wax which has melting point close to the body temperature of the human body. This bag can be easily sterilized. This bag creates warm micro environment for the baby. The pouch maintain constant temperature for 4-6 hours after heating. It can be reheated again. The cost of this bag is approximately 25 dollars.

This is the question many people are wondering about. In the much-studied Long Count calendar from the ancient Maya culture of Central America, the Gregorian calendar date of December 21st in 2012 CE correlates to the ending of a 5125-year period which equals the Gregorian date of August 11th, 3114 BCE. This earlier date is frequently referenced in inscriptions on Maya monuments. This provided much inspiration to the fiction writers in Hollywood to produce several movies on this issue pushing the world into panic.

Many religions and civilizations across the world mentioned in their manuscripts about the world ending. New Age thought combined selected information from these scripts and influenced people around the world. Tens of millions of books have been sold by so called self-taught researchers who believe that year 2012 will bring massive global change.

Along with such believes, New Age authors used modern scientific and academically tested data to validate their theories. This data includes current plunge in world economy, natural disasters, increased sunspot activity and a magnetic field reversal etc,.

This looks clear that New Age ideas about 2012 still carry misinformation in understanding the complex calendars and belief systems of the ancient civilizations

Following are the notes taken from the lecture given by Steve Jobs at the graduation ceremony of Stanford University:-

Steve jobs is a drop out from the college. His biological mother was unwed graduate student. She wanted her son to be adopted by educated people. He was adopted by a couple who had not graduated from college. They promised his biological mother that they would send him to college.

Eventually Steve Jobs did go to college. The idea of going to college and spending all the money they saved for years didn’t work well with him. Dropping out of college wasn’t a bad experience for him. Now he was not forced to take the courses that he did not like . He started to take voluntary courses which had real interest in.

He was not having dorm room. He returned coke bottles for 5 cents deposits to buy food with. He used to walk 7 miles down the town to Hare Krishna temple every Sunday night to get one good meal for the week.

The calligraphy class that Steve Jobs took during that time helped him to design the typography for the Mac computer 10 years later.

You have to believe that the dots you are following will connect somehow in the future. The trust that the dots will connect in the future won’t make you afraid when you are following the path not followed by others.

We will continue this in next post.

It has been really long time that I did  a post on 5nongringos. I know it’s not acceptable on my part since I am the one proposed and setup the whole thing. Answer is, I don’t know. May be I was losing motivation? Had been really going through the project status, bugs and a lot of update. New responsibilities and commitments. My personal work, messed up wordpress intallation, new apps on palm pre or new ideas that are crawling in my mind. I am not sure. 

Finally I am able to pool some time and making my mind to do the posting. I have couple of ideas floating on my mind. Lets talk and decide further. Here we go.. 

1. We must clean the blog and make it more pretty. May be shell few bucks to buy a news tempate and implement it. 

2. We should do few changes to the rule and make more posts and with out limit on word count. It could be as simple as sharing a funny youtube video or a engadget article. It’s absolutely legal to post articles of other sites as long as we mention the source and excert it. I am talking about putting more ads. 

Lets find some time and talk about it. I am sure that will motivate us todo more in the future. Bye for now. 

I was supposed to take off to India on Friday evening from JFK and reach home on Sunday morning. But I came to know the flights are not taking off on Friday afternoon. Satish and I made a journey to JFK to find out about alternate reservation as I could not get to speak to any human being (only answering machines). After we went there they told me that the flight has been indefinitely delayed. They gave us a phone number to contact which started calling on Friday night onwards after coming back to Albany. On Saturday there was no update. Sunday morning there was no update and so was at around 10:00 AM.
In the meantime I called another phone number given by some call center in India. This was the contact to reach Air India counter at the airport. They told me that flights are taking off. Then I rented car and reached JFK checked in my baggage and realized that that flight is taking off at 07:30 PM instead of usual 09:30 PM. I still had to return rental car. But some how I made it to gate at 07:00 PM. But the flight eventually took off at 09:30 PM. After reaching Mumbai, I realized that the connecting flights were also cancelled as it was another eventual Europe bound flight. So I had to collect the baggage and get immigration done. This procedure took about 3-4 hours and I waited for another 1 hour get Indian Airlines connecting flight. This flight took off at 06:05 AM and I finally landed in Bengaluru International airport at 08:00 AM Tuesday morning.

Guys,

I would like to talk now the continuation of my previous post about my hectic schedule. On Saturday I woke up around 9.30 am and after that me and my sister and my bava got ready and we were ready to go to temple in bridge water and we started to temple around 10.30 and after going to temple we waited for the prayer that was being offered to the Lord Venkateswara and after the prayer got completed we had the lunch at the cafeteria that is present inside the temple and after that we went to the bridge water commons mall and we killed some time over there and done some shopping and my self and my cousin played with my nephew and then we returned home and had some snacks around 5.30 Pm and my sister prepared some pav bhaji and we all had it and enjoyed watching some movies on Television and after that I slept around 11.00 PM.

The real struggled started when I started back to Albany from New jersey.I started from my sisters place around 5.00 Pm and from there I went to Oak tree road to make some grocery shopping that are need in my home and then I started to Albany around 6.30Pm from the Oak tree raod and I got on to garden state parkway and for 30 min everything was going on fine and the traffic was going on smoothly and suddenly after I crossed the exit 143 on garden state parkway suddenly the traffic got slowly and the traffic jam continued nearly for 1 Hr and I crossed 15 miles in 1 hr and after that the traffic was fine and I reached Albany around 11.00 Pm which tool me around 4 ½ hrs to cover 170 miles.

Lets continue our post based on the notes taken from the lecture delivered by Dan Gilbert:-

Human beings have non cognitive processes running in their brain which can help them synthesize the reality into a virtual reality. This virtual reality helps them to create a balanced state , a state of happiness.

We believe that synthetic happiness might not be of the same quality as that of the natural happiness. Synthetic happiness can be as real as the natural happiness which we reach when we achieve the paradigm that we set for ourselves. Even the amnesic people tend to believe that the things that they own are better than the things that they don’t own. We might think that amnesic people don’t really know that they own something or not. Even though that happens to be the case, amnesic people are also able to create synthetic happiness for themselves.

In a experiment, 10 students were asked to choose the picture from a set of 2 pictures. They were promised that they can get the other picture if they were unsatisfied with the picture they chose. Other 10 students were asked to choose a picture and told that they would have to stick with the picture they choose.

The results showed that the student who were give choice to return the picture were more likely to be unhappy with the picture they chose. The student who were not given the choice were more likely to be happy with the picture they chose because they created synthetic happiness in their mind regarding the picture they chose.

Capital District Transport Authority is the Transit service in Capital Region serves Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady Counties and takes people to many destinations safely ate very reasonable cost. CDTA was started in 1970 and operates bus and train services now. CDTA and its subsidiaries own and operate the Rensselaer Rail and Saratoga Springs Train Stations. CDTA also operates the Northway Xpress Commuter Service between Saratoga County and downtown Albany. It operates more than 300 buses and with around 650 employees.

We are very lucky to have such a beautiful service in Albany area. In United States it is rare to have such a great public transportation. I personally used this service for several years at very reasonable price. I encourage to use public Transportation as possible as it influences many factors.

1) reduces traffic on roads
2) saves lots of fuel
3) less pollution and good for environment
4) Reduced accidents

It als offers ten trip pass for $13. It also offers half fare swipers. CDTA also operates Park & Ride, where public can park their care at nearest Park & Ride for free and take bus and relax.
