In an ac circuit 6 ohm resistor, an inductor of reactance 4 ohm and a capacitor of reactance 12 ohm are connected in series with an ac source of 100 volt (rms). The average power dissipated in the circuit will be 1. 600 W 2. 500 W 3. 400 W 4. 200 W Help me solve.Download complete app at http://goo.gl/mtcHq

After a long involuntary hiatus, particularly due to using Facebook as a convenient though poor substitute, this site is back in action again!

When construction of a new lovely house we begin
If we ignore the quality of the the raw material within
The building may still look real pretty!
Even if the inside may be a bit messy!

Then for the slightest drizzling rain
A leaking roof is going to be a real pain
And a gusty draft of wind or tremor
Is going to make the rafters shiver
And all those cracks and secret damp places
Oh pests are just going to love those spaces!

So raw material we know better than to neglect
And attention to its quality we better respect

Then while we are constructing our life
Every single day amidst all its joys and strife
We better then have a closer look
Instead of just going by our self-authored book?

We can free ourselves from every monotonous rythm
Starting with this line right here 😉
Lets atleast reduce using low grade anger
And lets eliminate our petty prejudices
And lets even retire our shoddy ill-will
And every other thing else based on ignorance!

This new year, let us develop our heart
And truly strengthen the home for now and our future
That we are building every single day: ourself
Using high grade RCC – Relax Care and Compassion
Radically catapulting the quality of our life!

PS: A reader Vidyashankar raised a pretty good point…

Although everybody wants to build home using good raw material, we may be limited by budget?!

Hmm indeed its a pretty good possibility… as long as we are ignoring the emperor within… 🙂

Leaving today, returning to Bengaluru on 22nd night.

More when we’re back… see you soon…

Joined Sudhi last Sunday and went to Lalbagh at 5 AM for my first BWS shoot. There were plenty of other enthusiastic photographers as well though we were one of the first to be there, and it was a pretty good crowd. It was a wonderful morning – apart from the photography, just the energetic crowd in Lalbagh with people doing yoga, excercise and even a drama troupe practicing for a skit. Highlight was a couple of pelicans which came pretty close, and I could get some nice shots esp borrowing Sudhi’s zoom lens. Will be posting some pictures soon.

I just signed a message calling for unity following the attacks in Mumbai. Read the email below – Thanks

————————–

Dear friends across India and the world,

We’re all feeling the shock of the awful attacks in Mumbai. All our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

The attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But
their top target was something else: our unity. If these attacks cause
us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will
have won. They know that hatred and chaos feed on division. As radical
extremists, their only hope of winning is by turning the rest of us
against each other.

Let’s deny them that victory. We’re launching a message to extremists
on all sides and all our political leaders, one that will soon be
published in newspapers across India and Pakistan. The message is that
these tactics have failed, that we’re more united than ever, united in
our love and support to each other, determined to work together against
terror and call on our leaders to do the same. If millions of people
sign it, our message will be unmistakable, click below to sign it and
please forward this email widely:

It’s time to speak out, let’s do it together.

Thanks

Nothing wrong in imagining… as John Lennon would agree…

This morning it was so depressing watching the news. I really wonder
how much these Indian news channels are helping (the wrong party!) Many
of the scenes from the idiot box are showing with full zoom where
commandos are hiding – wouldn’t this give a clear idea to other remote
part of the terrorist gang who’re watching the same channels, and are
surely in radio contact with the perpetrators in some way? With some
common sense they should prefer security instead of sensationalisation! But otherwise they’re doing a marvellous and really courageous job of going out there and letting us know what’s going on.

I’ve hardly found entertaining the graphic
violent movies that make a game of death. And this is hard reality –
its so terribly painful just watching it – I can’t imagine people who
are going through it. One of my friends called and we spoke about it,
and he said he’d dedicated his one hour morning meditation in the to
all those affected in Mumbai. Much more practical way of dealing with
it I realised.

Going one step beyond the obvious, if we reflect
on Herman Hesse’s words “You only experience that which is within you”
– I feel that in a way (but what way I don’t know) – in a way –
humanity on the whole, of course including me, is responsible for this violence.
May we individual basis cultivate peace in our hearts.

Too big for my shoes….?

Too big for my shoes? I may end up thinking so sometimes, but this picture proves quite the contrary… !

When my wife brought up this picture we took in a tourist center in Innsbruck, couldn’t resist posting it here. Now I’m back in Bangalore, after having taken a sort of somewhat risky step quitting my job, I’m working as a freelancer Software Designer. Luckily have been quite busy so far.

Still, the ‘some day’ hasn’t yet come when I sort out my pictures and write more details about my trip and lots of other things!
