Best Politicians

Hi,

I was just wondering whether IT professionals are going to become the best politicians as I see many IT professionals play the role of politics to achieve some thing rather working hard. If required, they will kick off others to get their own. These will not spare anybody if they are in need of opportunity. In this time, they just forget the professionalism and learn the politics.

Due to these politics, almost all hard working ones are getting irritated and frustrated and cannot concentrate to work on.

By seeing the above, I feel like if IT professionals can enter in to politics and they will definitely win the game.

*** IT Professionals are future POLITICIANs but not PROFFESSIONALs. ***

Travel to India

Whenever I saw the itinerary, I gotta know this would be hectic. I even felt little bit more that what I had expected. The travel was very hectic as I felt all the shit in the journey.
a. Boared at Philadeliphia
b. Landed at Chicago and took local train to reach Terminal 5. Took the Boarding pass to India from Air India counter. Had a chat with Yaseen for about 2 hours. Finally boarded here too.
c. Landed at Frankfurt and re-boarded to the flight.
d. Landed at Mumbai and waited for domestic flight (Air-India).
e. Landed in Bangalore by 26Jan 5:00 AM (correct time)

Took taxi (Akbar travels) for about Rs. 1100/- and reached home finally.

Last day @ BMS

The tenure for this project was 4 months for me and I enjoyed very well the work environment. I have got very good friends here and never expected like that.

Sad to leave but it is time. No one can stop the time.

Balaji Temple

Hi,

Today, I had visited Sri Venkateswara Temple in Bridgewater, NJ. The temple is good and the statue is a bigger one as like Tirupati.

Thanks to my friends to take me there.

Heavy snore burns more cal

Washington, Dec 16 (ANI): The heavier your snores are, the more calories you burn, that's the conclusion of a new study, which claims that snoring is an healthy habit.

According to the study, heavy snorers burn more fat than light counterparts, even while they are awake and resting.

The study has been published in the December issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Sleep-related breathing disorders include snoring, pauses in breathing (sleep apnea) and other conditions in which airways are partially or completely obstructed during sleep.

"Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of sleep-disordered breathing, and changes in body weight are associated with changes in sleep-disordered breathing severity," the researchers write as background information in the article.

"It is unclear whether weight gain is simply a cause of sleep-disordered breathing or whether sleep-disordered breathing may be associated with alterations in energy metabolism that, in turn, lead to weight gain and complicate the treatment of these two disorders that often coexist," they added.

Body weight is based on the balance between energy or calorie intake and expenditure, the authors note. Resting energy expenditure, or the number of calories burned while resting, is one component of total daily energy expenditure.

To reach the conclusion, Eric J. Kezirian, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues assessed the resting energy expenditure in 212 adults with signs or symptoms of sleep-related breathing disorders.

Participants' medical history was taken, and they underwent a physical examination, sleep monitoring through polysomnography and determination of resting energy expenditure using a device known as an indirect calorimeter.

The calorimeter measures oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, which can be used to determine resting energy expenditure in calories per day.

Among the 212 participants, the average resting energy expenditure was 1,763 calories per day. Several measures of sleep-disordered breathing severity were associated with increases in resting energy expenditure. For example, those who scored the highest on a scale of apnea and hypopnea (disruptions in breathing) had a resting energy expenditure of 1,999, while those who scored the lowest expended an average of 1,626 calories per day resting.

Resting energy expenditure may be affected by responses of the nervous system that occur during sleep-related breathing disorders and has been previously shown to increase when sleep has been disrupted.

"This study advances our knowledge concerning sleep-disordered breathing and metabolic rates, but it does not define the connection between sleep-disordered breathing and body weight," the authors write.

"Body weight is determined by the balance between energy intake and expenditure. Although the findings of this study suggest that sleep-disordered breathing increases energy expenditure, it ignored two important aspects of this balance," they added.

"First, sleep-disordered breathing often results in fatigue and other decrements in daytime functioning that can limit physical activity. Second, this work does not specifically incorporate the emerging evidence that suggests that sleep-disordered breathing may alter energy intake, whether through hormonal or other mechanisms. Future research considering the effect of sleep-disordered breathing on body weight can include the effects on energy intake and expenditure," they said. (ANI)

Not feeling well

Hi,

Since morning, I am not feeling that much good. Somehow, feeling how having stomachache and headache. By evening, it is got into severe condition and by 7PM, I couldn't control myself and took CROCIN pain relief and applied ZANDU BALM on to my forehead. Also, felt like kind of fever.

After an hour and half, I got recovered a while. But donno why it happens. Suspecting that is caused by food poision.

This is the first time, I felt in US.

Dec17: Feeling like some body banging on my head. Also feeling like somebody pinning/burning in my stomach in the morning.

Drive in Community roads

Hey,

Hahhahaa.a.hahhaa.. Hehehehehehehehe...

Today is one more rememberable day in the life. First time, I drove the car on US roads (in Lawrenceville community). As usual, Sudhakar was there in the car as a co-driver.

Look for more time to drive..

13-Dec-08

Today, again I drove the car for another 3 rounds in the community with experienced drivers (Yaseen & Muzeeb). I got some tips on driving.
