Comet holmes is visible with naked eye in night sky. Don't miss this chance. This commet is very simple to identify. See the attached map and follow these steps :
1)First locate the star Mirfak. It is the only brightest star in srrounding region.
2)Now locate second faint star 'delta persei' , which is at 5 o'clocks position with respect to mirfak.
3)Now, join these two stars with imaginary line (pink line).
4)Now from delta persei, move perpendicularly in diagonal direction as shown and you will see the commet . It will look like faint fuzzy blob.

Intel Joke - good one
There was a gentleman walking with two heavy suitcases in an airport terminal. Someone approached and asked him what time it was. The gentleman bends down to park the two heavy suitcases and stares at his watch. But this was no ordinary watch! He touches a tiny button and his administrative assistant's face appears.
He asks her, "Mary, what time is it?" Mary answers instantly and with a smile!
The questioner is thoroughly impressed!!!
He asks, "What kind of a watch is that?"
"It's like a TV with two-way real-time communication," the gentleman explains. He adds that the watch is the latest technology with Intel's
brand new 128-bit chip with processor speed of 10 Gigahertz.
The onlooker is now quite impressed and wanted to know if he could buy this watch from the gentleman. They agree on a heavy price and the cash
was handed immediately. The gentleman takes his watch out and hands it over and then walks away.
The new owner stares at the two heavy suitcases and shouts, "Sir, you forgot your suitcases."
The gentleman stops, smiles, and replies, "No, they are yours now.

" But, can she cook and keep house ? " Asked the young man.
" Oh yes, she is Dharma Vati ! " answered the old man.
" Now, can she sew ? " asked the young man.
" Oh yes . . . . yes, she can not only sew, but she is Kala Vati ! " answered the old man.
" What about her education ? " asked the young man.

Mumbai problem
Why mumbai cannot mix-up with rest of Maharashtra ?
Good article published in M.T. Must read and think.
We got Mumbai after lot of bloodshed in Sanyukta Maharashtra Andolan (for those who don't know...Maharastra and Gujrat were combined in big state called as BOMBAY prior to 1st may, 1960 see Maharashtra Day) However, still today, Mumbai is politically, emotionally and geographically disconnected from rest of the Maharashtra. Lack of good road connectivity between Kalyan-Dombivali-Thane is one of the biggest example ... just think the chaos that happen every time when railways come to stand still. Unless our government and all political parties take effors towards this problem, fear of Mumbai being seperated from rest of the state will be keep on daunting in our minds.
Read this article to understand this and problem and just keep this point alive in some corner of you mind.
