Yeah, I just became one of those guys who switched from PC to a Mac. Finally, months of wait is over and I can play with my own 'leopard' now. Haven't had enough time to play with it though. But I guess I'll get to exploit its features in my coming trip to India. If this excitement lasts for a while, then hopefully you will see the next post on the iweb :)<div><div><div><br /></div><div>Guess I'm already on my way to become a 'Mac Freak' :D</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432277.post-87123621091029311932007-09-25T09:52:00.000+09:002007-09-25T11:07:35.363+09:00US of AJust came back from a week long trip to what my friend calls as U Stay Alone. Some people call it USA :)<br />I had a presentation at a conference there in San Jose. The presentation was just a formality. Actually, I was looking forward to meeting some old buddies from college there. The weather was pleasantly cool and I had a really nice week. Went around UC Berkeley, spent some quality time with old pals. All'n'all it was a nice trip. Except only; yeah, the 'security checks' before boarding the flight. But given that it was a 'United Airlines' flight, I was kind of expecting the 'checks'. Didn't piss me off much this time though, cause I had gone through it last time.<br /><br />But it reminded me of this funny video. How perfect for this kinda situation!! ;-)<br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W8PBF5h-9Qg"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed

ええじゃないか!研究室合宿で二日間口湖に行ってきました。一日目は富士急ハイランドとお釣りに分けてありました。合宿で16人も行ったんですが、富士急に興味あったのは5人しかいなかった。コースター大好きな僕がもちろん富士急に決定!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/>ちょっと遅れて午後2時半に富士急に到着。時間が少なかったから切符を買って早速新しいアトラクション"ええじゃないか"へ。近づいて待ち時間を見るとなんと2時間半!どうするか。あきらめてほかの人気ないアトラクションへ行くか、総回転数世界一のコースターをチャレンジするか。コースター好きの全員でええじゃないかの勝ち!<br />こんな世界一コースターの始めての体験。大好きっていっても乗っている人が見るとテンションがどんどん高まっていく。後ろ向きにあがってそのままとんでもない高さから90度の阪に落ちるなんてこえぇー!しかも途中でなんと下向きに回転!ええぇー!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e)

/> 最初はいけばなかと思ったけど、ちょっと違う形で、日本の方法でアメリカのフラワーデザインというテーマでした。入ったら結構込んでいましたけど、どこ見ても女の人ばっかり。もちろん女の人がフラワーデザインが好きだけど、花が好き男の人っていないだろうかね。 と思ってちょっと恥ずかしい気持ちでなかに入った。全国から来たいろんな人のデザインは6つのテーマで分かれていた。全部のデザインがどれが良いかきめられないぐらい美しかった。大家さんが自分のデザインと他のフラワーデザインも説明してくれた。竹とクリスマスローズを使った大家さんのデザインもとても素敵だった。イー君が植物と花のことが詳しくて嬉しそうに説明を聞きながら質問を出してた。僕は日本にある植物と花のことがあまり分からないし、何でこんな女の人ばっかりいる展覧会見に来たかと思ったけど、そこにあったいろんな美しいフラワーアレンジメントを見てデザイナーたちの想像力に感動した。日本で始めての展覧会だったんですが、いい経験になりました。次は上野にあるダ.ヴィンチの絵の展覧会も見てみようかな。Vishal

This drama-cum-movie is about the two giants of Silicon Valley, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and their rivalry during early establishment days of Apple and Microsoft. It's about how they transformed themselves from college kids to billionaires. Both made a fortune in their own ways, but one thing was common between them; both stole the technology from others. First Steve Jobs stole GUI and mouse from Xerox and then Gates stole it from Jobs. It's not a big surprise, but it's good to watch the actual incidents that happened during that time. There is one interesting quote from Jobs in the movie.<br /><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"Good artists copy, great artists steal".</span></p><p align="left">Wow, what a nice way to defend piracy! The drama was made in 1999, but I don't know how come I did not see it before. Perhaps I was too busy myself doing piracy in my undergrad exams ;-) </p><p align="left">Both the actors have performed brilliantly and portrayed the personalities of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates very nicely. There's once scene in the movie I liked. At one point, when Steve Jobs realizes that Bill Gates copied his prototype mac and used it for windows, he gets mad at Gates. But then it's too late and he cannot do anything about it. So he says to Gates in desperation, <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"We're better than you are! We have better stuff."</span> </p><p></p><p align="left"><span style="font-size:100%;">The reply of Bill Gates takes the cake. He says very calmly</span><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">"You don't get it, Steve. That doesn't matter!"<br /><br /></span>Most of the incidents depicted are based on actual events and that's what makes this movie interesting. A must see for OS freaks. And for all who use computers, a nice watch!<br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1n74Q27Mvn_EupYMp5I_ov5qkMevPmVV_YlCfI3g66N5e3oxAMhyJOCKXEp9GiB6tU6tzkq4OD1xyeMqRA7w7G3CfC6YiXDSvs6Ysh5UoU7zmeEcTMls2n6sx10gpTTx-Hea7A/s1600-h/pirates+of+silicon+valley.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055777540008189058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: pointer; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN1n74Q27Mvn_EupYMp5I_ov5qkMevPmVV_YlCfI3g66N5e3oxAMhyJOCKXEp9GiB6tU6tzkq4OD1xyeMqRA7w7G3CfC6YiXDSvs6Ysh5UoU7zmeEcTMls2n6sx10gpTTx-Hea7A/s200/pirates+of+silicon+valley.jpg" border="0" /></a>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432277.post-88925309351297651392007-03-30T23:07:00.000+09:002007-03-31T14:19:21.304+09:00Sky's the limit !!昨日研究室から9人が卒業しました。一人はあと1年間研究室に残りますけど他の8人はみんな卒業して社会人になります。一気に8人が研究室からいなくなるなんてありえないぐらい寂しいですね。僕はこの研究室に入ってからもう2年間半たちました。この二年間半見ると3年前のF.R.I.E.N.D.Sの最後のシーズン思い出します。あの時あのドラマは本当に終わってほしくなかった。今もこの二年間半終わってほしくない (;_;)<br/><br/>下手くそなんだけど、せっかくだから、この日本語の先生たちに日本語で感謝しないと。<br/><br/>皆さん、<br/>卒業おめでとうございます!皆さんに大変迷惑かけたと思いますが、この間ずっと面倒見てくれたり、一緒にいろんな所へつれて行ったり、遊んだり、日本語と色々教えてくれたり、本当にお世話になりました。皆さんのおかげで今までの研究室の生活にいい思い出になりました。本当にありがとうございます。We’ll miss you.<br/>また一緒に遊ぶ機会がいっぱいあると思いますが、これからもよろしくお願いします。<br/><br/>新しい道を体験するため出かけているみんなにすべての最もよいの。<br/>For you, <br/>Sky is the limit!!!<br/><br/>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432277.post-26292165272804758812007-03-04T18:50:00.000+09:002007-03-07T14:16:51.243+09:00Holi hai !!!今日はホーリー(Holi)です!今日ちょっと懐かしい感じでホーリーの紹介しようかなと思ってます。日本語のレベルが足りないと思いますが、頑張ってみます。<br/><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfhvE-4VFQsRJUoiObEtHKHS_tnoZU-tvlMe35ZzBo9Aui1LXAw62HZ37KLPZrNLrTBM9ew0u3JH9HjdBGFGFiHuLEQj7VhKkkd4WEXtDutKSZei5BUQUWILpGBY8-_MGTBnnPKA/s1600-h/holi1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038466538979083810" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfhvE-4VFQsRJUoiObEtHKHS_tnoZU-tvlMe35ZzBo9Aui1LXAw62HZ37KLPZrNLrTBM9ew0u3JH9HjdBGFGFiHuLEQj7VhKkkd4WEXtDutKSZei5BUQUWILpGBY8-_MGTBnnPKA/s320/holi1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br/>ホーリーとは、インドの三大祭りの一つに数えられる大きなお祭りです。Festival of coloursと呼ばれるこの祭りでは色のついた粉や水をまくことにより、冬の終わりを告げ、春の訪れを祝います。<br/><div align="right"><br/>北と南インドでホーリーを祝う方法が違いますが僕が北と南の間に住んでいますから両方やってます。ほーりーの日の一週間前から店でいろんな色を売り始め、多くの人がその日を期待されてます<span>。</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9J-TqaRHZV1RKQFAkY3Ve8_HUEBiVVFez1LauanWaHih6mlEfqHW_xpQy9py3mKB0DsS0RsIMSMDC2xFxqx6uQrZbDN3jo6go1vv0gSn5sW_NKgPn768B7H7uZyDoJ2T0DFBHBA/s1600-h/holi.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038452146543674882" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9J-TqaRHZV1RKQFAkY3Ve8_HUEBiVVFez1LauanWaHih6mlEfqHW_xpQy9py3mKB0DsS0RsIMSMDC2xFxqx6uQrZbDN3jo6go1vv0gSn5sW_NKgPn768B7H7uZyDoJ2T0DFBHBA/s320/holi.gif" border="0" /></a></div><br/>そしてその日友達と家族と知り合いの人に色をまいてホーリーを祝っています。<br/><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WYpTF3JqJ80JET7cJQRcoIqhlOLjO-SrS7HQd1XUVzln_xsEdH7rpjqvQfmXyvnPufPfKK6eMYnrp8we5kgH_53jSLHwsklqXkOJ0BpLdDtvHY1cKFq7TZ2HkEDyjvdwF7afKg/s1600-h/HoliIndia.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038466534684116498" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WYpTF3JqJ80JET7cJQRcoIqhlOLjO-SrS7HQd1XUVzln_xsEdH7rpjqvQfmXyvnPufPfKK6eMYnrp8we5kgH_53jSLHwsklqXkOJ0BpLdDtvHY1cKFq7TZ2HkEDyjvdwF7afKg/s320/HoliIndia.jpg" border="0" /></a><br/><br/>Well, this festival is not just about fun and colors. As for all festivals in India, there is a scientific reason for celebrating Holi. This festival occurs at the onset of spring. This period, during which the weather changes, is prone to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance as the coloured powders are made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors.<br/><br/>インド人にもホーリーを嫌がっている人がいるんです。あの人たちはその日絶対に家を出ません。色水かけられるのは日本人にとっても嫌だと思いますが僕にとってはすごい楽しい事です。<br/><br/>Happy Holi to those who celebrate !! <br/><br/>Gosh, I miss Holi.<br/><p align="right"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivM_7-WGwl-kn-WAsPFS8R7G_L2DLPiE_13Chfy6AjzICA-_zizHBxIqCJVHwRilruUr_jr6AkpDL5nN6PWTNpm4oouQPp88kw6Yej1g7AHiz8xIMBWSd0hlUmvIjrASiUi72haQ/s1600-h/holi3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5038468162476721714" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivM_7-WGwl-kn-WAsPFS8R7G_L2DLPiE_13Chfy6AjzICA-_zizHBxIqCJVHwRilruUr_jr6AkpDL5nN6PWTNpm4oouQPp88kw6Yej1g7AHiz8xIMBWSd0hlUmvIjrASiUi72haQ/s320/holi3.jpg" border="0" /></a></p>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432277.post-70530145197695466602007-03-03T14:25:00.000+09:002007-03-06T01:05:52.136+09:00Upadates<div align="justify">More than two months have passed since I wrote last post. Laziness, at its peak :)<br/>Well, time to scribble something on this page. What did I do in these two months besides lying lazily?<br/><br/>1. I did a Tape Out (I know this is not a thing to write because I'm supposed to do it anyway. That's part of my work.) But important point is that because of this tape out, I missed or rather did not have time to see this <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" target="_blank">mindblowing product</a> and it's <a href="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf07/" target="_blank">amazing presentation</a>. Boy, Steve Jobs rocks!<br/><br/>2. After almost two years, I flew back to my homeland for a months vacation. Spent some quality time with family and friends, went some places around, ate lots of things, gained lots of weight and forgot most of the Japanese that I had learnt.<br/><br/>3. After much of the efforts, I finished my first Japanese novel '窓ぎわのとっとちゃん' by 黒柳 徹子(Tetsuko Kuroyanagi). Although I fishied the last half of the book in the airplane, it took me two months to finish the book. But it was worth it. Very touching novel. No doubt it was a bestseller. Its about a nursery schoolgirl 'Tottochan'and her unique school 'Tomoe' a visinory teacher headmaster Kobayashi-sensei. You don't realize while reading how you become part of Tottochan's world full of curiosity. How Kobayashi-sensei grooms his students in his own unique way and how his small experiments change his students way of looking at life is something worth reading. I would definitely like to write something more about this book in future. But before that I'm gonna read it again.<br/><br/>4. What else? I just returned (safely) from a 3 day ski trip. 'Kusatsu onsen'; as the name suggests, a place famous for its onsen is also a ski resort. There was not much of the snow around though. May be because we were late this year. But overall, a nice trip.<br/><br/>Oh.. by the way, I also received a funny email forward from my friend which reminded me my school day exams.<br/></div><p align="right"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xaUqRFZKaadafSxI9JFXqz894qex52sX-bBGuYDwA4WyvicOnMLw6fdl8Iiww2ogQP2zl383fwIOR4DSqiJ-yMarfE8rQ7Va_kpa6NflZlyke0dKEFNzi9vXW2ByojFOzTLN_g/s1600-h/image007.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622010969736610" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2xaUqRFZKaadafSxI9JFXqz894qex52sX-bBGuYDwA4WyvicOnMLw6fdl8Iiww2ogQP2zl383fwIOR4DSqiJ-yMarfE8rQ7Va_kpa6NflZlyke0dKEFNzi9vXW2ByojFOzTLN_g/s320/image007.gif" border="0" /></a></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijnk41oCF-Bke-Z-Xmja25Lrc8N6c710KOoKWo8KFUH-JzpM9bSfcnEtAlQvCzJalGofgietrXmRzTeS2W1zD5Y7Wc2trrK6XIg5LcvUG03YdXK70GTC8atfOlt9Zbs0ukTy7FA/s1600-h/image008.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622015264703954" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgijnk41oCF-Bke-Z-Xmja25Lrc8N6c710KOoKWo8KFUH-JzpM9bSfcnEtAlQvCzJalGofgietrXmRzTeS2W1zD5Y7Wc2trrK6XIg5LcvUG03YdXK70GTC8atfOlt9Zbs0ukTy7FA/s320/image008.gif" border="0" /></a></p><p align="right">This is amazing<br/><br/></p><p align="right"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8ILZ-QIfQk2OUk0SBpZoA-hpvF3uYqQeZ-TgfZNf1Ec30LollEVev03QjXnuYvmyoMahey08AE8g73G0FRC6ARDgXDIreAIk6wIzn7b3iQ3SsMhSSbgt8uT-utEWXcROEO76Vw/s1600-h/image010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622126933853682" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht8ILZ-QIfQk2OUk0SBpZoA-hpvF3uYqQeZ-TgfZNf1Ec30LollEVev03QjXnuYvmyoMahey08AE8g73G0FRC6ARDgXDIreAIk6wIzn7b3iQ3SsMhSSbgt8uT-utEWXcROEO76Vw/s320/image010.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br/><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb1EyrsrtylcXaEJ8-JlMP_ow6s9s1YrSiHVd-XqXpytVy5DwU3veQKJMI17g0fw4XUOruMgfZNBbniGV5qgt0lSpEwKyyMOD_uGdGgVqGm2Hk1aPoB6aeF1yThS4KQlUMDpKtmg/s1600-h/image009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622019559671266" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb1EyrsrtylcXaEJ8-JlMP_ow6s9s1YrSiHVd-XqXpytVy5DwU3veQKJMI17g0fw4XUOruMgfZNBbniGV5qgt0lSpEwKyyMOD_uGdGgVqGm2Hk1aPoB6aeF1yThS4KQlUMDpKtmg/s320/image009.jpg" border="0" /></a><br/><br/><p align="right"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBdaUtLXB47KjdFs7_9zFeSqeuYEqD-hwIEFgA-6Qdiyu4fLq5HxUS2HfU56Ii9IbIG904XXf6b2mM_kIhssKbay_6SxxL2vTXjSo9QlcqfH3NJZdgZH3bb_SuyE7TUb9mcGpJ6w/s1600-h/image006.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622010969736626" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBdaUtLXB47KjdFs7_9zFeSqeuYEqD-hwIEFgA-6Qdiyu4fLq5HxUS2HfU56Ii9IbIG904XXf6b2mM_kIhssKbay_6SxxL2vTXjSo9QlcqfH3NJZdgZH3bb_SuyE7TUb9mcGpJ6w/s320/image006.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p align="right">ha ha ha.. very funny, Peter.. </p><p align="left">This one takes the cake..</p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQWpspTSnZ2y2pyMUobZlyTbtjhCdfWjLbfO_ebqccOo7m0iOdfVtVhtYpX7KXHo4jayDGuHLxMuq4bOPVzQCUdt4RpGrmzng7s3lyVoQxGP93iRPqeTh-9lsACquqxRWu1N8b-Q/s1600-h/image004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037622015264703938" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQWpspTSnZ2y2pyMUobZlyTbtjhCdfWjLbfO_ebqccOo7m0iOdfVtVhtYpX7KXHo4jayDGuHLxMuq4bOPVzQCUdt4RpGrmzng7s3lyVoQxGP93iRPqeTh-9lsACquqxRWu1N8b-Q/s320/image004.jpg" border="0" /></a>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34432277.post-5930857276922534582006-12-28T00:39:00.000+09:002006-12-30T13:33:45.913+09:00高校行きたい... そう。でもインドではなく、日本の高校です。<br/><br/>なぜ??<br/><br/> 誰か以下の顔文字の意味を説明してくれる?<br/>Σ(´□`;)<br/>(*^ω^*)<br/>(;д;)/ヾ<br/>ε=(^◇^;<br/><br/>まぁ、日本人なら当たり前のことかもしれないけど僕にとってこれはIQテストみたいです。<br/><br/>問題: <br/>Σ(´□`;) = 笑い顔<br/>(;д;)/ヾ = 泣き顔<br/>次のシンボールは何?<br/>ε=(^◇^;<br/><br/>日本語の勉強を始めた時先生は「Japanese language is very rich of expressions」って言ってた。なのになんでこんなに顔文字が使う必要なのって僕にとって不思議です。<br/>すごく分かりにくい顔文字があればすぐ分かる簡単な顔文字もある。たとえば (^_^) これは笑っている顔、(T_T) これは泣いている顔。<br/><br/>でもこれは全然理解できない。<br/>(*゜▽゜*)<br/>(¥△¥;)<br/>(ノ^^)八(^^ )ノ<br/>(。・ω-。)-☆<br/>ε=┏(;

Furthermore, recent observations reveal that excessive reading of English technical or journal papers and lack of observing English movies and dramas can result in limiting the vocabulary to that found only in bulky technical papers. This can be proved by the sentence pattern found throughout this text. Writing graduation thesis or dissertation creates additional complications. Consequently, the speaking or hearing ability is also affected drastically and as a result the day to day communication takes the form of the technical paper text.</span></em><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em font=""><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal">It has been proven periodically that the rules of mathematics cannot be applied to languages.

Initially, from simulation and later with some experimental results it has been observed that learning languages can be frustrating at times. It can be evident from the immense pain required for the author to recollect the spelling of as simple word as 'tongue' in the above sentence. The readers can imagine intuitively the amount of pain involved in recollecting the characters and their stroke order in the Asian script.

Many theories have been proposed so far for the improvement of English reading, speaking and writing ability. Some old theories that are proven over time, such as reading books, newspapers or hearing news, require hardwork and patience and are not practiced by many people. Another studious technique requires appearing for some competitive exams such as TOEFL or GRE or TOIEC. But again, very few people are ready to compromise their happiness for learning English. Some of the theories invented by some lazy people include taking English book as a pillow while sleeping believing that the knowledge will get transferred in sleep (These fellows do that for other books too). But this theory has not been proved yet. Watching Hollywood movies is one of the proven way for improving communication skills, but it is not a 'cost effective' solution and may limit the c</span></em></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><em font=""><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal">ommunication ability to 'excessive slang'. Having an English speaking girlfriend or boyfriend is another effective way, but most of the times it turns out to be a liability than asset. One of the novel, 'cost effective' solution can be downloading illegal (or so called 'pirated') movies or dramas from the internet [2]. However, this should be done at one's own risk and some people think of it as unethical. From intuition, it can be seen that each of the above methods has it's own advantages and disadvantages.</span></em></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em font=""></em><em><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal">Adapting one particular method still remains a challenge for the scholars all over the world. One way proposed earlier by the author[3] is starting writing a blog. Simulations results have shown that it can improve language skills as the blog can be checked by people all over the world and some suggestions can be obtained. However the effectiveness of this method has not been tested yet and remains the topic for future work.<o:p></o:p></span></em></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="font-size:100%;"><em></em></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><em><b><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal">Conclusion:</span></b><br /><span style="FONT-STYLE: normal">A comprehensive study of various aspects of learning a language is presented.

But this phrase is eating my mind from last two days, so finally I decided to write a post on it. I know this post is going to be long since I haven’t written anything for long time and you are advised to read this at your own risk.<br /><br />So you are ready to take the risk then. Fine. Now you may ask me why suddenly I started writing in English. Is the enthusiasm for Japanese over? Well, to tell the truth,there are two reasons. First, I cannot stick to one language for long. Second, eversince I was introduced to this new ‘Japanese’ friend I kind of started going away from the old school buddy, English. So, today I decided to have a little chat with this old friend. Have you ever experienced when you meet somebody very close after long time and want to say so many things but when you actually meet, words don't come out. Something like that is happening with me as I'm writing something from my mind in English. It is getting more and more awkward.<br /><br />Today marks the second anniversary of the day when I first landed in this land of rising sun.Time for some retrospection :)<br /><br />Two years down. Three more to go… Two years is not a very long time to forget the things, is it? When I arrived here, I remember very clearly when I arrived here as a guy with a typical strong Indian accent, who had lots of restrictions on food and drinks(some of them are still there), quite under-confident to try out his little Japanese skills and who used to cook everyday in home to avoid encounter with Japanese food. Well, I won’t say that all those characterstics have disappeared now. But it is interesting to look back to see how fast things changed. I remember all the wonderful moments I had in these two years. Nothing can match that fun. Those ski trips, those summer camps, picnics, long drives, hanami parties, karaoke nights, those more for sightseeing and less for education conferences and what not. I enjoyed everything to the fullest. I got some very good friends, went to some places far beyond imagination, tried some delicious food, designed some silicon chips and yes, I got a Master’s degree too.<br /><br />But that’s not all. In these two years, I had just one trip to India. One and half years have passed since that trip and I've learned one thing during this long stay.. Never stay away from your home for so long. As the days pass by, I miss the things back at home. I miss the quarrels with my sister, scoldings by grandmother to get up early in the morning, conspiracies to buy surprise gifts to Mom on her birthday. I miss getting dragged by friends from home to watch movies and later cursing them for the pathetic movie. I miss long drives on the bike, all day long sessions of cricket, parties on the weekends, evening strolls on streets with friends for some ‘treat to eyes’. I miss going to a movie toghether with cousins on the first day of Diwali, the snaks, the sweets, the crackers and all night long trump card sessions. I miss HBO, BBC, Discovery, National Geographic, ESPN. Yes, I miss my home and the warmth of my wonderland everyday. You can call this homesickness, nostalgia, frustration or whatever you like. But I'm sure, if you stay away from your home for one and half year, you'll feel no different. But above all, I miss my stay at Hiyoshi International House; which we used to call 'The Heaven'. For me, it really was, until I moved out two weeks ago. One cannot stay in HIH for more than two years. The day I moved out, it felt like all the fun has come to an end, the glory days in HIH are over and life of solitude has finally begun.<br /><br />But moving in a new house is a nice feeling as well. It’s all exciting imagining how the house will look like when you buy new furniture, arranging and rearranging it again and again in your mind and setting it finally. Everytime you come back in the evening all tired, a small maple tree is standing in a small garden around the house to welcome you with its fresh autumn colours. After taking the bath, you lay on the bed at night with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and a novel in the other. Well, what else do you need? From one heaven to another :)<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6155/1413/1600/Autumn%20LeavesThumbLogo.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 72px; HEIGHT: 72px" height="232" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6155/1413/320/Autumn%20LeavesThumbLogo.jpg" width="80" border="0" /></a>Vishal Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05386906014801188180noreply@blogger.com2
