Jokes Majaak / How I learned to mind my own business:

How I learned to mind my own business:

   I was walking past the mental hospital the other day,
   And all the patients were shouting, '13....13....13.'


   The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a
   Little gap in the planks, so I looked through to see
   What was going on.....


   Somebody poked me in the eye with a stick!

   Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

Knowledge / TAJ MAHAL or TEJO MAHALAYA?
« on: November 17, 2009, 12:21:51 AM »
TAJ MAHAL or TEJO MAHALAYA?

We have all heard how the Taj Mahal, which is considered one of the great wonders of the world, was built as the preeminent expression of a man's love for a wife. That it was built by emperor Shah Jahan in
commemoration of his wife Mumtaz. However, in our continuous effort to get to the truth, we have acquired
some very important documents and information. There is evidence that the Taj Mahal was never built by Shah Jahan. Some say the Taj Mahal pre-dates Shah Jahan by several centuries and was originally built as a Hindu or Vedic temple/palace complex. Shah Jahan merely acquired it from its previous owner, the Hindu King Jai Singh. 

This controversy is something I have explained more thoroughly in book, "Proof of Vedic Culture's Global
Existence." So, for those who want to know the details of this issue, you can find it there. And here is the photographic evidence that will provide greater insights into this. The point to consider is how much more of India's history has been distorted if the background of such a grand building is so inaccurate.




1.The Taj Mahal has seven stories. Five of them lie sealed and barred concealing rich evidence. The marble
building in the centre is flanked by two symmetrical ones. The one in the foreground is the eastern one. The one in the background is being represented as a mosque because it is to the west. They should not have been identical if only one was to be a mosque. In the courtyard at the foot of the eastern building is inlaid a full scale replica of the trident pinnacle [found at the top of the dome]. The tiny tower at the left near the western building, encloses a huge octagonal multi-storied well.




2.This was the traditional treasury well of the Hindu temple palace. Treasure chests used to be stacked in
the lower stories. Accountants, cashiers and treasurers sat in the upper stories. Cheques called handies used to be issued from here. On being besieged, if the building had to be surrendered to the enemy, the treasure used to be pushed into the water for salvage later after recapture.



3.This pinnacle has been blindly assumed by many to be an Islamic crescent and star, or a lightning conductor installed by the British. This is a measure of the careless manner in which Indian history has been studied till now. Visually identifiable things like this pinnacle too have been misinterpreted with impunity. The flower top of the dome, below the pinnacle, is an unmistakable Hindu sign. A full scale figure of this pinnacle is inlaid in the eastern courtyard.



4.A close up of the upper portion of the pinnacle of the Taj Mahal, photographed from the parapet beneath the dome. The Hindu horizontal crescent and the coconut top together look like a trident from the garden level. Islamic crescents are always oblique. Moreover they are almost always complete circles leaving a little opening for a star. This Hindu pinnacle had all these centuries been misinterpreted as an Islamic crescent and star or a lightning conductor installed by the British. The word "Allah" etched here by Shahjahan is absent in the courtyard replica. The coconut, the bent mango leaves under it and the supporting Kalash (waterpot) are exclusive Hindu motifs.



5.The full scale figure of the pinnacle on the dome has been inlaid on the red stone courtyard of the Taj
Mahal. One may see it to the east at the foot of the riverside arch of the flanking building wrongly dubbed as Jamiat Khana (community hall) by Muslim usurpers. Such floor sketches in courtyards are a common Hindu trait.



6.The apex of the lofty entrance arch on all four sides of the Taj Mahal bears this red lotus and white
trident--indicating that the building originated as a Hindu temple. The Koranic lettering forming the middle strip was grafted after Shahjahan seized the building from Jaipur state's Hindu
ruler.




7.This is a riverside view of the Taj Mahal. The four storied marble structure above has under it these two stories reaching down to the river level. The 22 rooms shown in other photos are behind that line of arches seen in the middle. Each arch is flanked by Hindu lotus discs in white marble. Just above the ground level is the plinth. In the left corner of the plinth is a doorway indicating inside the plinth are many rooms sealed by Shahjahan. One could step out to the river bank from the door at the left. The 7th storey is surmised to be under the plinth below the ground because every ancient Hindu mansion had a basement. Excavation to reach the basement chamber should start under this door.



8.Such are the rooms on the 1st floor of the marble structure of the Taj Mahal. The two staircases leading to this upper floor are kept locked and barred since Shahjahan's time. The floor and the marble walls of such upper floor rooms can be seen in the picture to have been stripped of its marble panels. Shahjahan used that uprooted marble from the upper floor for constructing graves and engraving the Koran because he did not know wherefrom to procure marble matching the splendour of the rest of the Taj Mahal. He was also so stingy as not to want to spend much even on converting a robbed Hindu temple into an Islamic mausoleum.



9.This is the Dhatura flower essential for Hindu Shiva worship. The flower is depicted in the shape of the
sacred, esoteric Hindu incantation 'OM.' Embossed designs of this blooming 'OM' are drawn over the exterior of the octagonal central sanctorum of Shiva where now a fake grave in Mumtaz's has been planted. While perambulating around the central chamber one may see such 'OM' designs.



10.One of the 22 rooms in the secret storey underneath the marble plinth of the Taj Mahal. Many such features of the Taj remain unknown to the public so long as they see it only as a tomb. If the public knew how much it is missing in the Taj Mahal it will insist that the government unseal its many stories. Two doorways at either end of this corridor in the right side wall leading to inner apartments have been sealed by Shahjahan. If those doorways are opened, important evidence concealed inside by Shahjahan may come to light.

teamed with Billabong and Street Image to create the perfect active sports vehicle that you could take to the

beach, lake, mountains, skate park or anywhere in between and have a blast. The Ultimate Venza will be used

versatility, utility and comfort make it a perfect vehicle for people with active lifestyles.












Street Image also installed a front and rear hitch receiver and Grinch Winch to pull wake boarders into waves

or snow boarders and skaters across flat land to a jump or rail. Finally, large Enkei wheels with Nitto tires

and a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) big brake kit were added to provide superior traction and stopping

Jokes Majaak / Fate & Attitude
« on: November 16, 2009, 04:56:26 AM »


     A soldier stationed in Afghanistan recently received a letter from his
     girl friend back home. It read as follows:


     Dear Ricky,

     I can no longer continue our relationship. The distance between us is
     just too great. I'm sorry. Please return the picture of me that I sent to
     you.

     Love,
     Becky




     The soldier, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow soldiers for any
     snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters or ex-girlfriends.

     In addition to the picture of Becky, Ricky included all the other pictures
     of the pretty gals he had collected from his buddies. There were 57 photos
     in that envelope along with this note:


     Dear Becky,

     I'm so sorry, but I can't quite remember who the hell you are.
     Please take your picture from the pile, and send the rest back to me.

     Take Care,
     Ricky

 


     Moral of the story:

     If you can't change your fate, change your attitude

Tech Lounge / CRYSIS WARHEAD
« on: November 16, 2009, 04:36:55 AM »

CRYSIS WARHEAD

Crysis Warhead, like the original, Crysis, is based in a future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been

discovered beneath the Earth on an island east of the Philippines. The single-player campaign has the player assume

the role of (Former SAS) Delta Force operator Sergeant Michael Sykes, referred to in-game by his call sign, Psycho.

Psycho's arsenal of futuristic weapons builds on those showcased in Crysis, with the introduction of Mini-SMGs which

can be dual-wielded, and the Plasma Accumulator Cannon (PAX). The highly versatile "Nano Suit" returns. In Crysis

Warhead, the player fights North Korean and extraterrestrial enemies, in many different locations, such as a

tropical island jungle, inside an "Ice Sphere", an underground mining complex, which is followed by a convoy train

transporting an unknown alien object held by the North Koreans, and finally, to the airfield where the game ends

with Psycho recovering the alien object. Like Crysis, Warhead uses Microsoft's new API, Direct3D 10 (DirectX 10) for

graphics rendering. Crytek have also recently added a Crysis Wars mod for the Sandbox 2 editor, the same tool that

Crytek used to create the game.

Gup Shup / Famous Companies names
« on: November 14, 2009, 06:41:18 AM »
Adobe
The name came from the river Adobe Creek that ran behind the house of founder John Warnock.



Apache

It got its name because its founders got started by applying patches to code written for NCSA's httpd daemon. The result was 'A PAtCHy' server - thus, the name Apache.



Apple Computers
Favourite fruit of founder Steve Jobs. He was three months late in filing a name for the business, and he threatened to call his company Apple Computers if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 o'clock.



Cisco
The name is not an acronym but an abbreviation of San Francisco. The company's logo reflects its San Francisco name heritage. It represents a stylized Golden Gate Bridge.



Google
The name started as a jockey boast about the amount of information the search-engine would be able to search. It was originally named 'Googol', a word for the number represented by 1 followed by 100 zeros. After founders - Stanford graduate students Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor, they received a cheque made out to ‘Google’.



Hotmail
Founder Jack Smith got the idea of accessing email via the web from a computer anywhere in the world. When Sabeer Bhatia came up with the business plan for the mail service, he tried all kinds of names ending in 'mail' and finally settled for Hotmail as it included the letters "html" - the programming language used to write web pages. It was initially referred to as HoTMaiL with selective upper casings.



Hewlett-Packard
Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tossed a coin to decide whether the company they founded would be called Hewlett-Packard or Packard-Hewlett.



Intel
Bob Noyce and Gordon Moore wanted to name their new company ' Moore Noyce' but that was already trademarked by a hotel chain, so they had to settle for an acronym of INTegrated ELectronics.



Lotus
Mitch Kapor got the name for his company from the lotus position or 'padmasana.' Kapor used to be a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.



Microsoft

It was coined by Bill Gates to represent the company that was devoted to MICROcomputer SOFTware. Originally christened Micro-Soft, the '-' was removed later on.



Motorola
Founder Paul Galvin came up with this name when his company started manufacturing radios for cars. The popular radio company at the time was called Victrola.



Oracle
Larry Ellison and Bob Oats were working on a consulting project for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The code name for the project was called Oracle (the CIA saw this as the system to give answers to all questions or something such).



Red Hat
Company founder Marc Ewing was given the Cornell lacrosse team cap (with red and white stripes) while at college by his grandfather. He lost it and had to search for it desperately. The manual of the beta version of Red Hat Linux had an appeal to readers to return his Red Hat if found by anyone!
