Remembering Space Shuttle Columbia
On Feb. 1, 2003, shuttle Columbia broke up during reentry over Texas. As we remember the STS-107 astronauts Rick Husband, Willie McCool, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon, also celebrate their legacy and all astronauts who live and die pushing mankind’s frontiers into space.

Hope to blog again
I am posting here after such a long time. I don’t remember why i stopped writing over here. I guess i just get bored with stuff easily, at one point i was trying to write at so many places there was tumblr, wordpress, blogger and livejournal. Now i am not sure why i did that. I have only two accounts left now livejournal and this one.
Hmm a lot of things have changed since then, still jobless though. Learned a lot of python, did a lot of c++ , took part in SRMs, met Sue. I hope coming friday be very good to me.

I so remember the sound whenever he would connect to the internet using his dial up connection.
It used to be super slow those days and the websites also were so dull looking. I remember making this email id at yahoo.com and i don’t know why i was so excited sending an email. I would use to just surf random stuff or look up some stuff about the programming subjects i was studying then. Oh also there were those ecards which i thought were like so cool back then. -

My Favorite Scary Movie
As a kid i found evil dead the scariest movie, though now i find that it is pretty hilarious. Of all the scary movies i have seen my fave is The Shining. I really like the atmosphere and the music, plus Jack Nicholson was superb in it.
