Beautiful Lesson.....
The girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Next to her, her fiancé, Nick, 23.
The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US .
Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication.
In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of chemo to end.
In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots,
Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail.
The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss
An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that katie
used throughout the ceremony and reception as well.
The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents.
Excited to see their son marrying his high school sweetheart.
Katie, in her wheelchair with the oxygen tube ,
listening to a song from her husband and friends
At the reception, katie had to take a few rests.
The pain did not allow her to stand for long periods
Katie died five days after her wedding day.
Watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile
on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it lasts .
We should stop making our lives complicated.
Life is short
Break the rules
forgive quickly
kiss passionately, love truly
laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
no matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
but as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.

And my home is WIfi............
Thanks to BSNL and ubuntu............
well,my connection is BSNL 500c plan,and i got a bsnl type 2 modem with the conection which is wifi supporting,it had a little Antenna too on it.......
Know my laptop is a Lenovo G530 53Q model,with wifi etc.......
It came in DOS so, i had to install any OS in it,well i selected Ubuntu because of its user friendly nature and high graphics,
after i installed ubuntu it showed some restricted drivers available for my wireless
ie, BROADCOM STA Wireless driver..
well, i activated it ......
Den through wired connection i configured my modem by typing 192.168.1.1
den i created a wireless connection by simply clicking o the networks icon and adding a wireless connection,
you will get the SSID , BSSID and if you want u can give a MAC address for security.Soon after creating this wireless network, i was shown connected to the modem.
After that i used the PPPOECONF to trigger my connection,i entered my Username and Password, and Viola........!!!!!!1
i am enjoying the mobility,
well, it feels to great to blog about this sitting in the kitchen with my Mom and sister's kids............

My Project-Multitouch
We being Me,Unni,Mikhil,and Spaar aka Pradeep..........
Its been a long time since we actually planned and started working on it,but many things came in between like Exams,Hackerdom(Our Dept Program) & many other things
So what is Multitouch?
Everyone should be familiar with the term touchscreen,well it offers a single touch point,now in Multitouch the surface offers more than one touch point,or more clearly it offers more than one cursor...
So we bought an Acrylic glass(which is little modified) for the surface,made some 20 holes on 2 opposite sides where we put IR LED's.Now,when we touch the surface the IR light inside the surface gets scattered by a phenomenon called Frustrated Internal Reflection(FIR).
Now these points are captured using a modified Webcam which detects only IR light,which appears as White Blobs on the webcam output,& Bingo!, we got our Cursors.the entire thing is projected onto our screen.
The blobs are fed to our program code,which is obviously in Python.
The library used is pythonmt........
The entire apparatus is as in diagra 2
So wish we luck please.......
We are still on it........
