ENVY THIS

Here, in India, most of us are quite happy with the new 2mbps internet connection now available (though, it hardly ever gives the 2mbps speed).
Now, in America, the average download speed there is 1.97mbps.Great, huh?
It ought to be, for us Indians, for the average download speed being 200 kbps.
But it’s not the Americans who get the last laugh. In Japan the average download speed touches 61 mbps, but then what else will you expect from them!
Certainly not this: A 75 year old lady in Sweden happens to own a 40 gbps net connection!!
Yes, you read that right folks it is 40 and it is GBPS! That equals to downloading a full dual layer DVD in two seconds.
Before you starts drooling over this bit of news, just think what in the hell will a 75 year old lady do with such a connection. Well here it is-

75 year old granny + 40gbps connection = Chat with relatives + play online yahoo! Games + search for recipes online + download windows updates.

Fell like jumping off the window, don’t you?!

Nothing at all

okay.Constant readers of this blog, are requested to kindly bear with me on the fact that i can't find appropriate titles for my blog posts.
While the variable readers might find this fact a litle to their annoyance that I can't seem to title my posts in an orderly way. Those who think this, if I may assure you, this is certainly not the case. And kindly do not judge me[or my intelligence] from these unintelligeble statements.

The day has come for me to review the passing week, as some of you would know, i have successfully crossed the untested waters of examinations. These unchartered areas of my life have bestowed upon me the heroic, gigantic, if i may add, responsibility of conquering this penultimate task of my destiny.

The examaminations. Constant testing of the untested. DASH IT! Now I feel I should have studied harder. Well, readers, my life is like that. As the old saying goes...'Be contented with what you have'...I can't seem to be. Whatever I do, I feel I could've done better. That ladies and gentlemen, provides the path for improvement. Which is the ultimate scope for self-preservation. Or the Race, as it has always, will remain superior to you.

With these cryptic parting phrase...we part until we meet agian in the next post.
