George Barnett

Another day was ending and I was doing my usual stuff, checking mails, browsing news and gathering torrents, when I came across this message on Pirate Bay's homepage by an english musician named George Barnett.



The message was quite interesting. Downloaded the album, liked it, reminds me of Beatles. Shared it with my colleagues and friends, they liked it too. Download and check it out yourself.

A Nice Song

Breakeven by The Script

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven... even... no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even... no

What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
One still in love while the other one's leaving
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name.

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break
No it don't break even no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)

Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no

Draft Education Act welcome

We heartily welcome the final draft of the country's first-ever Education Act that seeks to implement the guidelines provided in the National Education Policy-2010. The draft attempts to bring all private schools, colleges and universities under a regulatory framework.

Clearly, the aim of the draft Education Act is t to restrain private institutions from charging unreasonably high fees. As stipulated in it, all private educational institutions, irrespective of their mediums of instruction, including the MPO-listed schools and colleges will have to receive the government's permission before fixing tuition fees and other charges. It also provides for stern punitive actions against those who will be found to act in violation of these rules. As it stands, the draft Act appears to be rather ambitious, though it largely reflects the expectations of common people who have always demanded government intervention in matters of excessive charging of tuition and admission fees by many private schools and colleges.

Having said that, we would like to caution that unless steps are taken judiciously in matters of tuition and other fees, its implementation may prove to be discouraging for the educational institutions in the private sector. The private sector has been playing a very important role in catering to the increasing demands of education services. We should not forget that if it was not for the quality education provided by some of the leading private universities of the country, we would not be able to keep a lot of students from going abroad. Therefore, in fixing various fees the genuine cost required by a good private educational institution, be it a school or university, must be taken into consideration along with rising inflationary pressures.

At the same time, the authorities concerned should take care that the draft Act in no way curbs the autonomy of the private and public universities.

Write! Write! Write!

I've been staring at the monitor for the last couple of hours. I know what I have to write but it just doesn't feel right.

Decided not to stare at word anymore, instead I shall stare at illustrator :)

David Gray - Sail Away

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little Darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I wanna hold you now

To infinity... and beyond!

The End of an Era. A Tribute to the Space Shuttles. One of the finest piece of machinery human being ever made.


Thousands of NASA Kennedy Space Center employees stand side-by-side to form a full-scale outline of a space shuttle orbiter outside the Vehicle Assembly Building on March 18, 2011.

The Space Shuttle orbiter is the orbital spacecraft of the Space Shuttle program operated by NASA, the space agency of the United States. The orbiter is a reusable winged "space-plane", a mixture of rockets, spacecraft, and aircraft.

A total of seven (six Orbiters & one simulator) were ever made - Pathfinder, Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour. Individual Space Shuttle orbiters are named in honor of antique sailing ships of the navies of the world, and they are also numbered using the NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation system. All were built by the southern California based Rockwell International company.

Pathfinder (honorary Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-098) is a Space Shuttle test simulator made of steel and wood. The simulator was used in activities such as checking roadway clearances, crane capabilities and fits within structures. It was later shipped by barge to the Kennedy Space Center and was used for ground crew testing in the Vehicle Assembly Building, Orbiter Processing Facility, and Shuttle Landing Facility. It is presently on display at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was named after the Starship Enterprise, featured on the television show Star Trek. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.

Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the first spaceworthy Space Shuttle in NASA's orbital fleet. First launched on the STS-1 mission, the first of the Space Shuttle program, it completed 27 missions before being destroyed during re-entry on February 1, 2003 near the end of its 28th, STS-107. All seven crew members were killed.

Challenger (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-099) was NASA's second Space Shuttle orbiter to be put into service, Columbia having been the first. Its maiden flight was on April 4, 1983, and it completed nine missions before breaking apart 73 seconds after the launch of its tenth mission, STS-51-L on January 28, 1986, resulting in the death of all seven crew members.

Discovery (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-103) was one of the orbiters of the Space Shuttle program of NASA, the space agency of the United States, and was operational from its maiden flight, STS-41-D on August 30, 1984, until its final landing during STS-133 on March 9, 2011. Prior to its retirement, Discovery was NASA's Orbiter Fleet leader, having flown 39 successful missions during over 27 years of service. In 1984, Discovery became the third operational orbiter following Columbia and Challenger.

Atlantis (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-104) is the last Space Shuttle orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the spaceflight and space exploration agency of the United States (the other operational Space Shuttle being Endeavour). The Atlantis was the fourth operational (and the next-to-the-last) Space Shuttle to be constructed by the Rockwell International company in Southern California, and it was delivered to the John F. Kennedy Space Center in eastern Florida in April 1985.

Endeavour (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105) is one of two currently operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States. (The other is Atlantis.) Endeavour is the fifth and final spaceworthy NASA space shuttle to be built, constructed as a replacement for Challenger. Endeavour first flew in May 1992 on mission STS-49 and was scheduled for decommissioning in 2010. Before its decommissioning, NASA expects to use Endeavour for the STS-134 mission. Its STS-134 mission was originally thought as the final mission of the Space Shuttle program, however, the proposed STS-135 mission was approved, and now Atlantis will be the final Space Shuttle to fly.
