The voice within

I recently bought a book by looking at the cover page of the book, it was Mary Curzon wearing the peacock gown. I finished reading the book today. Invisible Empresses of The Raj by Penny and Roger Beaumont.Here is a picture of it: Many of us know about just a few vicereines of India.

Having worked on projects based on Green computing, Green networking and profiling power usage to reduce carbon footprint, my area of interest for specialisation will be "Energy and Sustainability".

Green networking is a trending subject amongst researchers and I'm looking forward to attain knowledge in this subject at University of Southampton.The full time post-graduate ...

I have to say, it was the best movie for me to watch and start this beautiful year 2014. Picture Source: Google Images Living in the information age, big data and various software tools and techniques for digital image processing in my head since the past six-seven years, it was hard for me to believe that there could be a US magazine "Life" having a department for negative assets and a day dreamer man like Walter Mitty working there as a Negative assets manager.

Photo journalist Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn) works with Mitty but both have never met in person.Life magazine decides to go online and many of its employees are in jeopardy. The new ...
