Music Engraving

I am finding music engraving a very interesting profession. I am learning more and deep about the music by doing this profession. I had never imagined I would be in music engraving profession just few years back. I am also making lots of friends in the process. Music is such an universal language that it touches every sensitive soul and brings them together. Actually there is a long story behind it.On my 14th birthday my dad gifted me a guitar. That was the beginning of my hobby now turning into profession. When I look back now I feel that it was truly a God's blessing. Guitar has brought so many people close to me. I have of course lost perhaps the best friend because of it. I think this is also my retirement plan...music...I think I will play till the end of my life along with this profession called Music Engraving. My friend is also with me and we have been tight buddies since 3 decades having performed together many times. So he is the best partner in music engraving. We are no...

Failure turned into success

In the Scotland highlands, in a pub, some fishermen gathered one day to share tales over bottles of ale. One fisherman stretched his arms wide to show the big one that got away. At the same time, a waitress arrived carrying a tray of glasses filled with ale. The fisherman’s arms hit it and sent the tray which smashed with the wall. The dark coloured ale fell on the white wall and began rolling down. The fisherman and the waitress tried to wipe off the mess from the wall, but it left strong and ugly spots all over the wall. Then a man who was watching the whole scenario from corner table quietly walked towards the wall. He took out a brown pastel crayon from his pocket, and began to draw on the wall with the expertise of an artist. Everyone in the pub silently watched as a great stag with spreading antlers took shape magically around the dark spots. Sir Edwin Henry Landseer - the top 19th century British painter of animals was the artist. Send you comments to: Pankaj Mistry

Computer Technology is Fun

Technology is a very wide concept that deals with our skills and knowledge to adapt to and manage our environment. Today it is difficult to update with all latest technology being developed. Most people are not aware about computer and internet. I have taken a decision to explore this world by using the internet and computers. Developments in technology in recent times, inclusive of printing press, phone, and net helps us to communicate at a global level. This is possible through Weblogs, known better as "blogs". Many people have no idea about blogs. I am creating my blogs and regularly posting them. I read other blogs too and enjoy a new horizon of knowledge and friendships. Blogging is not just educative and informative, but is also helpful in generating income. My friend was fond of watching TV serials. But now he watches on his computer for whatever he wants. I have realized that if one has internet facility at home, at school/college or office, it is possible to have end...

Understand Your Computer Components

Today when you are looking for computers you really get confused. For people who are new to computers feel that all those computer specifications and details sound like a foreign language that is difficult to understand. The glossary used in the computer world really does not apply to any other subject or topic. What is software and hardware? What is CPU or a ROM or a RAM? Let's have a look at some of computer hardware examples. Computer hardware means the "hard" surfaces you can feel and touch. Hardware is the material the computer is made of.

I don't understand

I don’t understand, Why we are searching, On Mars, for life! I don’t understand, Why we make deadly weapons, On Earth, to kill life! I don’t understand, This wastage of time and money, Of intelligence and energy…! I don’t understand, Why we cannot make lovingly, A beautiful border less world, For our next generation to live happily! I don’t understand, Why men live as chauvinist, And women as feminist, I don’t understand, Why we cannot live, Simply as humanist…! I would appreciate if you can send me your feedback on this poetry on Pankaj Mistry
