WORLD ISLANDS

Hi Reader,

How about having a home in a ISLAND called ICELAND and which is immensly HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazed ????? Its possible now, as one of engineering wonders have been in built in DUBAI.

We all have heard a lot about palm islands in dubai, which is home to many of BIG names in the world now.
On similar lines, there are World ISLANDS made in dubai, which is a even bigger project. This project that big that, builders were out of sand(present in sea bed).

"Questions are never stupid"
One might be wondering how can a country like dubai be out of sand stock, so for there knowledge, we cannot use desert sand to build islands, as its properties are lot different than coastal sand, and even if try using, it would spoil the natural environment.For more info, read your 7th class book :P

Like PALM islands, WORLD ISLANDS can also be seen from space.. waoooooooooo...

Difference between HP and PS

Hi Reader, I have seen people getting confused over PS and HP, and i was no exception ;)

HP stands for "HORSE POWER" and PS (German: Pferdestrke = horse strength).

1 PS  = 0.73549875 kW = 0.9863201652997627 hp (SRC:- SAE-American Society of Automotive Engineers).

So, both are nearly same.
Have Fun.

VMAX launched in india

So finally all the craze and excitement is over as yamaha came out with VMAX as their surprise package for india. For last month and so their were talks about yamaha launching something really cool in india. So people like me were expecting them to get a 250cc doing some 20-30Ps. But this launch is not  20Ps but 20Lk :( :( .

Anyways, VMAX is a monster, as i read somewhere today "Porsche for Bikers :P". 
But how many they are going to sell, how big is indian superbikes market? Both R1 and MT01's combined sale is nearly 150 till now, which costs some 12lk. And this one is some 20LKh. I suspect hardly 30-50 bikes is a big number.

Tech-Specs:-

Engine type	4-stroke, DOHC, 4-valve, V-type 4-cylinder
Engine cooling	Liquid cooled
Displacement	1,679cc
Bore x stroke	90.0 x 66.0 mm
Compression ratio	11.3:1
Maximum power	147.2 kW (200 PS) @ 9,000 rpm
Maximum torque	166.8 Nm (17.0 kg-m) @ 6,500 rpm
Lubrication system	Wet sump
Fuel System	Fuel injection
Clutch type	Wet, multiple-disc diaphragm spring
Ignition system	TCI
Starter system	Electric
Transmission system	Constant mesh, 5-speed
Final transmission	Shaft drive
Primary ratio	1.509
Secundary ratio	3.082
Gear ratio-1st gear	2.375
Gear ratio-2nd gear	1.810
Gear ratio-3rd gear	1.400
Gear ratio-4th gear	1.115
Gear ratio-5th gear	0.935
Fuel tank capacity	15 litres
Oil tank capacity	5.9 litres

So for every  1 HP u need to spend 10,000 Rs. But the bad thing is that, a US citizen has to spend only 18,000K($) some 9LK(nearly half of what it costs in india) for owning the beast . Anyhow, the future of bigger bikes seems to be better in india. Till then wait and watch(john riding the big machines) :) :)

h2O Sucks.

Hi, Reader

H2O and O2H is common routine for the most of people of this world. Something simile has been started in mine life also, H2O(HOME TO OFFICE) and then Office to home. This continues for long 5 days, followed by relief of two days.

But all our teenAge we wait for this time to come, when we can earn of our own and spend accordingly. This sounds very interesting at 16, but now more of annoying. Have i said some thing wrong?, probably yes! .There is no problem with H20. This is we only who are making our H2O filthy.

I believe we can always add some sweetenr's to it and more importantly as per our taste :P. Some other activities such as dance classes, music lessons, travelling, reading the unread, writing something( we always wanted to), cooking, social working, future plannings(i do a lot of it :D), painting, shooting, swimming or some other games or anything else u always wanted to try.

People!, come out and this is the right time to do it, make the most of it, untill u get married and get trapped again :P. Best of luck, friends.

Your valuable comments are always welcome.

Thanks.

Ninja and India

Bajaj, once known for ideal family Scooters, jumped into bike market and were able to grab a good market share also, with their hotshot pulsar series. They are constantly improving and trying to provide something fresh in market. Then came the biggest surprise of Ninja getting launched in india, with Auto-Expo 2008.


Then internet was filled with lots of news about ninja, predicitons about prices and lots of other stuff reagarding KTM also.But, its been more than a year, when the news of "kid ninja's"(Ninja 250)launch came into the market. Every month or so some news is published saying, we are expecting its launch very early :P. Anyways, fingers are still crossed, i expect its launch to be prior to feb, 2010, before the next AutoExpo.
And importantly, Unlike what Bajaj had planned earlier the baby Ninja will not be assembled in India.So the cost will increase upto 2.5 lakh, i know its a setback for people like me, who were not buying anything else, just waiting for ninja and were well mentally prepared to spend 1.5-1.8lkh.
But anyways, lets see what happens next and when i get to drive my dream bike since childhood(the time at which i did not even know, what "cc" means :P, and i was not aware of any other bikes, lolzz)

Purpose of me

Hi Reader,

I have not been writing for such a long time, but now i am just to going to scramble some of the thoughts those keep disturbing me over and over.

I just watched my college videos on youtube. Thapar and me
I dont know why, some tears came out, may be so senti, kiddish or girlish. Whats the reason,that the image of our good moments of past make us cry and bad moments make us laugh.

This keeps on happening forever, moments of delight and sorrows, and it keeps on getting piled till the doomsday. For past few days, thoughts of death are troubling me a lot. When i hear about someone dying(irrespective of age), the next thought comes, what about his all hardwork, his collections of photographs, his memories, his secrets(which will remain unknown),his unsaid stupid stories, his dreams to see the whole world. What happens to all of that?

Something similar will happen to all of us, since the day i was born, i have been thrown into this rat race, to get more and more. And this is important also, as we have to survive and live happily in the present. But argument is, why we worry so much about surviving, why their is fear to death, if its bound to come. Why we workhard, may be for
1. pride
2. money
3. status

All of these things are ok, but how does this matter. Lets take example of Hitler, he did so much to win the world(dont know moral or immoral), but everything for him vanished in just one moment. But some people argue saying, Hitler is very popular now, he is in history books, everybosy remembers him. But my point is, what the F, hitler gets from this, GHANTA? Similar for many other great people, who worked hard whole of their life and one day, end of their thread.

I know whatever i have writeen is very very absurd, my actual complain is with the creator of this world, why he/she is using us as puppets. There are crores of threads(computer jargon) like me in the world, just waiting for stop() being called. Main purpose of each thread seems to help others threads work properly, so that no exceptions are raised.(Holy shit, so technical). I believe this "Main" program should be stopped.

Till then, i/we will have to live for others, whom life we can make pleasant(or better said, their journey to death). So Forget all the bakwas i have written, as we all want to live, party hard and spread smiles around. Chill!

Dhanyavad(Thanks) for bearing me!

System.Threading.ThreadStateException was unhandled (c#)

This problem occurs when you add some active control like web browser.I added web browser in some panel and tried to run the application, it says

"System.Threading.ThreadStateException was unhandled"

Solution:-

So just add [STAThread] above the main function where you instantiate the class.
e.g.(c#)
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Parent_Form());
}

Setting child window location in MDI .NET

This problem occurs when you load a new child form inside the parent window while using MDI, but you are not able to set its location according to your requirement.

So there is some trick which i used.

say name of the child form is "form1"

form1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual;
form1.Location = new Point(50, 620);/* any arbitrary location*/
form1.Show();
