Adventure in VISA Interview

Visa interview is something that is always given a tremendous hype and my case was no exception. I attended a number of Visa counseling but nobody could draft what exactly will be asked. It only game a basic idea of what would happen at the same time they todl me to expect any thing. Well finally the day arrived, my interview was at 10 o clock in th morning. I reached there well ahead and had to complete various formalities. After completing all those I was asked to sit in a cabin and they told me to proceed once my name is called. Till that time i was comfortable but as the names were call I began to get nervous. Well it was my turn and it was a Female member in charge for my.I showed her all my documents. She refused to take it and told me to leave. I got dead scared and with a mild tone i asked 'Mam what about ma visa' well she immediately replied that your visa is through and have a nice time. I was shocked to receive such a reply. It was a great sense of relief.It is certainly one of the most unforgettable incidents in my life.

Spend sometime reading this

In brief what we know our Universe....now only the LHC can complete the explanation.

How did our universe come to be the way it is?

The Universe started with a Big Bang - but we do not fully understand how or why it developed the way it did. The LHC will let us see how matter behaved a tiny fraction of a second after the Big Bang. Researchers have some ideas of what to expect - but also expect the unexpected!

What kind of Universe do we live in?

Many physicists think the Universe has more dimensions than the four (space and time) we are aware of. Will the LHC bring us evidence of new dimensions?

Gravity does not fit comfortably into the current descriptions of forces used by physicists. It is also very much weaker than the other forces. One explanation for this may be that our Universe is part of a larger multi dimensional reality and that gravity can leak into other dimensions, making it appears weaker. The LHC may allow us to see evidence of these extra dimensions - for example, the production of mini-black holes which blink into and out of existence in a tiny fraction of a second

Actor's Lucky Number

Govinda has followed numerology so much that he has changed everything in his house accordingly. His astrologer has told him that the number 9 is very good for him and hence he should change everything in his life to suit that. So all his telephone numbers and the number plates on his cars have been changed. Certainly this is a new number from this unpredictable star. What's he going to change next? Reach the sets sharp at 9 a.m.? Naah

About Cavities

When food we eat sticks to our teeth it makes a place for germs to work. The food turns bad, and the germs multiply and make holes in our teeth, which we call cavities. The surface of our teeth is made of enamel and is the hardest substance in our body. Beneath it is a layer of dentin. Inside that is the dental pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerves. When teeth start to decay and the material they are made of wears away, it affects that dental pulp and results in toothache. Cavities are cause when particles of food left in the mouth after eating begin to decay. This produces acid which eats tooth enamel. We should always brush our teeth right after eating. But if we should happen to get a cavity anyway, then we should go to the dentist right away. If we don't our teeth will become worse and worse and may have to be pulled if they're too bad.

Earth sea my view

I love the books, so I am keeping my expectations low! For starters, I am not convinced that doing the first two books as a 4-hour miniseries really makes any sense from a time/drama standpoint... And the screenwriter, Gavin Scott, definitely only got it half right with his adaptation of The Mists of Avalon.

And as I predicted, they chose a white guy for Ged/Sparrowhawk (Shawn Ashmore - Iceman in the X-Men films and the instant-clone freak of the week on Smallville), though at least the old wizard Ogion is the right color for a Gontishman (Danny Glover). Kristin "Lana" Kreuk as Tenar might be okay - she is a little older than in the book, but she is certainly got the petulant little bitch thing and concerned/conflicted expression down... And Isabella Rossellini as the priestess that, well, it seems like she is *always* in these Roberts Halmi-produced literary miniseries!

Since Earth sea itself is decidedly pre-industrial, and the focus is mostly on simple settings (even the wizard academy at Roke is very low key compared to, say, Hogwarts), I am not worried about the look being wrong. And let's face it; the effects required are also pretty easy by modern standards. But I truly fear that the adaptation will miss what makes the Earth sea books special: the language, the philosophy, the sense of wonder and yet familiarity.

Though written in very plain language and seemingly very simply plotted the earlier Earth Sea books deal with some complex real-life issues (self-knowledge, restraint, balance, the value of seemingly alien and evil people, etc.) I am afraid that the miniseries will put too much effort into making the dragons believable, and not enough into the really underlying messages, the heart of the story.
