The movie starts with a princess travelling in a train in a country in South of Africa along with her jewels. Comes a helicopter from which jumps a highly intelligent and handsome masked thief (Hritik Roshan) who with the use of awesome gadgetery steals the jewels and leaves his trademark "A" to let know everyone that he did it.

Jai Dixit (Abhishek) is still the policeman with his wife (Rimmi). Ali (Uday chopra) is still working as a policeman for Jai. He is always complaining that Jai makes him do all the donkey work. Some of the comedy scenes are funny especially one where Jai sends Ali to bust a cocaine consignment!

Bipasha Basu is the Assistant Commissioner of Police. Ali is sent to South Africa on an assignment where he meets Bipasha's sister (Bipasha again) who cannot speak a word of hindi. Ali spends about six months there and then keeps calling Jai and asks him to swear at him in hindi because he hasn't heard a word of hindi since the last six months...

Hritik meets Aishwarya in another heist where she presents herself as a thief too. She asks Hritik to team up with her which Hritik refuses because he already knows that she is the police informer for Jai who is trying to trap Hritik! But Hritik plays along...
They plan to steal a load of coins which was supposed to be the first ever coins made by men valued at over 250 crore rupees. They steal the coins and Hritik leaves his trademark "A" there. In the climax Aishwarya shoots Hritik who then jumps off a cliff

Six months later , Hritik and Aishwarya are very much in love and working in a bar in Fiji islands. Enters Jai dixit saying that he knew the whole story all the time. Hritik asks him whether he will put him in jail now. Jai says,I was looking for Mr.Aand Mr.A is dead. So my business is over. But if Mr.A raises again, I will be there waiting for Him...!!!!

Hritik has done good. He is portrayed as a very clever, thief with a good knowledge of technology and mastery in gadgetery. The motorbikes used are awesome and fast!

Aishwarya does her usual job of being totally glamourous. Jai Dixit is the ever cool police dude. bBipasha...teek taak hai!. Uday chopra...Alright hai, but I guess there are many other better guys in the Film Industry many others guys in Indian film industry who could have done his role much much better than him.,its just that he is frm the Yashraj Camp that he is cast...!!!!

Haven't gone into too much more depth & details because then there wont be anything else left to watch in it.The use of gadgetery is awesome, the dance sequences are nice and the photography is excellent! All in all a must watch movie.All I can say that you will absolutely love the movie!!!

Rating:4.5/5

"Simplest LINUX installation manual"...

Are u new to LINUX?? If yes than let me tell u its an open source operating system ..Here is a “10-STEP MANUAL for starters”…it can be generalized for all LINUX flavours.

1) Insert the CD in your CD/DVD drive.(make sure your system is configured as ‘boot from CD/DVD’ in Bios setup)

2) ?boot:/? will appear on screen. Just hit enter.(let Anaconda do his work for a while)Note: anaconda is one of the installer for Linux flavors.

3) Choose normal options such as language, country, time etc as your choice on the screens.

4) Configure your boot loader (choose one Grub or LILO) and default boot partitioni.e. Linux or other.

5) Now hopefully you will reach on partition menu screen( It’s a

very important step for a successful Linux installation??. So, do it carefully)a) choose custom or manually partition option on the screen.b) make a free space as you or your hard disk afford.c) now create a ROOT partition i.e. mount point=?/? space = 3gb or mored) another partition SWAP i.e. mount point = swap space = _____ ( this valve should be more than twice your RAM, i.e. if you have a RAM of 256, this the valve >512).Note: SWAP partition is not always needed but in fact it should be.

6) At this juncture, half of your task is over.Now choose your root password and loginname (root password should be easy to remember otherwise Linux become Hell)

7) At this step you will find a package selection menua) choose ‘minimal’ or ‘default’ option on the screen(it will only minimum package required to run Linux and take least time(10-15 min) to install)b) Choose ‘select all’ option( it will install all packages selected by you but take more time ( 40-60 min) to install).

8) Just wait…and enjoying the merry TUX(the animal you see in

the surrounding pictures is actually the LINUX mascot...TUX).





9) Another important step for your system configuration. Here you should check yoursystem drivers specially Graphics and Sound Cards, otherwise it will goes in text modeafter Rebooting.

10) Take out your disk from drive and Reboot your system.

11) Once your computer restarts, you see ‘GRUB loading’.Press any key to access menu of different OS on your computer.Once the starting process ends…open up your newly loaded LINUX OS (again a reminder DO REMEMBER YOUR USERNAME and PASSWORD”…and once you log inenjoy the cool desktops!!

FEDORA desktop.

MANDRIVA desktop.

SUSE desktop.

Remember LINUX is free!! and may the 'SOURCE' be with u

Do We Need A Language ?

Hello Friends

This is my first posting on any blog. Hope it marks beginning of a new process, and just doesn't get obliviated as a one-off event.

Today, I would like to share some views on languages. The very creation of language always fascinates me and amuses. "How was the first word invented?", "How was the first sentence built up?", "Who would have thought that man would require a language?".........These are questions, I am sure, am never going to get answered. Still, I love exploring this amazing world of languages.In April, 2004, in Economist, an article titled, "Language Barriers" was published . The article posed a question, "Can a concept exist without words to describe it?". It talked about a Brazilian tribe - 'Pirahã' - living along the banks of the Maici River. This tribe, mainly consisting of hunters-gatherers, use of a system of counting, "One-Two-Many"..... In this system, 'One' means one or two, 'Two' means a bit more than that, 'Many' is everything more than 'Two'. Not only that the Pirahã don't use a number system but they can't even learn numbering and counting when they are exposed to.

Lack of enumeration and counting skills of this tribe, led some scientists to call them, 'Men from Mars'. Their language is unique not only terms of numers but also in some other aspects. They communicate as much by singing, whistling and humming as by normal speech. It is not that this tribe has lived in complete isolation. They have been having some little trade with other Brazilians for more than 200 years. However, socially they have strongly rejected to be a part of mainstream. Moreover, internally, they use a barter system. And probably that could be the reason why they would never need a complex number system. Because in barter all you need is 'one or two' and rarely, 'many'.This also has another interesting insight.

Our language not only determines our thought but also our ability to think. The Pirahã cannot learn numbering because they simply don't have numbers in their language. Language is a medium of expression. Words are an invention, and necessity to express, is the mother of this invention. But language can also limit your scope of expression. You can express, only what you can think of. And you can think of only, what your language allows you to think of. Well, this is getting complicated. Without language you cannot think and without thinking, you cannot develop a language !!!??But does this tell us that our language is making life more complicated than easier? We have invented complicated languages - labyrinths of complex structures and words. And now we have complicated expressions and confused individuals. Can't we just part with our over-dependence on language? Can't we become 'humans' instead of mouthpieces of ourselves? Can we put emotions ahead of words describing it?

When we use words like 'love', 'anger', 'patriotism' etc., words become more important than actual emotions, for which these words are used. What is 'love' for me, is not 'love' for others. What is 'fear' for others, may not be 'fear' for me. Words continue to cheat us. Language continues to mislead us.Can we think independently of language? Probably no! Our minds are programmed by languages learnt by us. And it is difficult for us to reprogram ourselves. Probably its not that language is at fault, rather we human beings, misuse it to cheat others. What we need is a little bit more of honesty on our parts. If we become honest with our own emotions and expressions, words will no more be our masters, they will no more cheat us. Let's own our words, and not be enslaved by them!

(Finally!! - In the beginning of a post, I have posted a photo image from my recent rural excursion of India. Can you suggest appropriate words to describe it? Or, we should just leave it like that?)
