15th August.. Independence day

"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru (Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)

Men and women have different brains
They say men are from Mars and women from Venus. Now, a group of researchers has backed this adage with scientific proof that the brains of the two sexes are physically distinct. The study suggests that men and women show differences in behaviour because their brains are physically distinct organs. Male and female brains appear to be constructed from markedly different genetic blueprints, the team says.
The differences in the circuitry that wires them up and the chemicals that transmit messages inside them are so great as to point to the conclusion that there is not just one kind of human brain, but two, according to recent neurological studies. According to a review of recent neurological research appearing in this week's New Scientist magazine, it is becoming clear that the brains of men and women show numerous anatomical differences.
Some of these divergences could explain a number of mysteries, such as why men and women are prone to different mental health problems, why some drugs work well for one sex but have little effect on the other, and why chronic pain tends to affect women more than men.
Although it has long been known that there were some male-female differences, it was thought they were confined to the hypothalamus, the brain region involved in regulating food intake, fighting and the sex drive, among other things. But it is becoming clear that the relative sizes of many of the structures inside female brains are different from those of males.
One study, by scientists at Harvard Medical School, found that parts of the frontal lobe, which houses decision-making and problem-solving functions, were proportionally larger in women, as was the limbic cortex, which regulates emotions.
Proportionally larger brain areas in men include the parietal cortex, which processes signals from the sensory organs and is involved in space perception, and the amygdala, which controls emotions and social and sexual behaviour.
"The mere fact that a structure is different in size suggests a difference in functional organisation," the Independent quoted Dr Larry Cahill of the Centre for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, at the University of California, Irvine, as saying. One area of research concerns the brain's pain-suppressing mechanisms, and points to the fact that they may be organised differently in men and women.
Why open source businesses succeed..
Just like anything else, there are plenty of open source failures, but there seems to be a lot of successes these days.
SugarCRM, Alfresco, Pentaho...what makes a business choose to go open source? There are a lot of reasons, including marketing, user base, license mandates (e.g., GPL based), belief system, etc. Ask any individual business and they can probably tell you.
But what makes an open source product into a successful business. I think there is, if not a univesal answer, at least a common denominator, and it has nothing to do with shaggy hippies in birkenstocks, even if the founders are shaggy hippies in birkenstocks.
Actually, since a number of them are just that, or other variants anti- or asocial types, their business success is all the more remarkable.What I think is the critical factor has nothing to with how they dress or what they believe.
The successful conversion of an open source team into a business is because you already have a built in team. The "team" is what makes the business. And the team is self-selected. That's a huge advantage.
People don't apply for a job to work on an open source project. They don't do it for the money. First, they start to use it because they're interested in the product. That's market research that can't be bought. Second, the stay and contribute because they like the team. So if you have an open source team that works well together, you're way ahead.
How many jobs have you had where you liked eveyone you worked with? How many would you still show up for if they stopped paying you? An open source team can answer yes to that. Everything else is just accounting.

JO BEET GAYI SO BAAT GAYII...
Jo beet gayi so baat gayi
Jeevan mey ek sitatraa tha,
Mannaa ki woh behad pyara tha
Woh toot gaya toh toot gayaa..
Amber ke aanan ko dekho,
Kitne iske tare tootee..,
Kitne iske pyaree.. chhootee..
Jo chhot gaye phir kahan mileyy..
Par poocho toote taron ka,
Kab amber shok.. manata hai,
Jo beet gayo so baat gayi.

unmatched compose..
था तुम्हें मैंने रुलाया!
हा, तुम्हारी मृदुल इच्छा!हाय, मेरी कटु अनिच्छा!
था बहुत माँगा ना तुमने किन्तु वह भी दे ना पाया!
था तुम्हें मैंने रुलाया!
स्नेह का वह कण तरल था,
मधु न था, न सुधा-गरल था,
एक क्षण को भी, सरलते, क्यों समझ तुमको न पाया!
था तुम्हें मैंने रुलाया!
बूँद कल की आज सागर,
सोचता हूँ बैठ तट पर -
क्यों अभी तक डूब इसमें कर न अपना अंत पाया!
था तुम्हें मैंने रुलाया!
