A day against SOPA/PIPA

Hey all we ought to play our part in ending software piracy for music/movies but not end free educational or such stuff from internet. I do feel that we need better legislation against online piracy. I do not, however, think that SOPA or PIPA are the legislation we need.

Want to help in the fight against SOPA / PIPA? First, go learn about the bills. After that go contact your elected officials. Wikipedia has a handy-dandy page set up which allows you to locate your state representative.

Wikipedia is doing its part,it went black,This also stirred the oatmeal’s soul-He made a gif for this:And yes of course ,there was a lot of commotion on twitter as well:

Here is a contribution from me:

I went black in protesting by going into my chimney and sweep it instead of studying for my oncoming papers.And yes i took my laptop with me in the chimney, I am writing this post sitting in the chimney-don’t worry about the light.I can see in the dark.It was the latest research(was to be featured on the Wikipedia front page that humans can see in chimneys filled with soot on SOPA/PIPA blackout days but the page itself went blank,Never mind,I told u the secret.Stay blessed!

 

A lesson for all of us!

Pale Blue Dot is a photograph of planet Earth taken from a record distance of 3.7 billion miles, at the edge of our solar system. It was shot and transmitted by the Voyager 1 spacecraft almost 13 years after its launch.
[It's just one pixel so if you're having trouble finding it click this link: http://tecnoscience.squarespace.... ]

Dr. Carl Sagan, who originally requested that the picture be taken, famously reflected on its meaning:

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it’s different. Look again at that dot. That’s here, that’s home, that’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.

 

Scenario of a tuition

AoA-this post is written as a silent protest of my  molested feelings-i couldn’t find a job-recession times u know-otherwise apni skills to ant ki hai:P People say that,No,I am such a down to earth sort of a person-I would never brag-u should know and then back to the matter-This post is an explanation of how my each family member and the tuition kids strive to make it a success;)

Contribution of Ammi!

First and foremost I ‘ll talk about ammi,she has the biggest part in this project,from rounding off kids to deciding the fee.When the class is in full swing,I mean each and everyone is busy doing his/her work ,Ammi makes entry.When she comes,the class turns into a sort of drawing room with real chatterbox guests in it -whatever!

She starts asking the kids about their daily routines,giving them tips and all…

Asks them how studies going,more tips,indulges into discussion how the teachers of today check copies while gossiping in the staff room and just tick mark on the pages without reading.Then yes,she picks up a note book and register and starts pointing mistakes or reading sentences aloud,pointing at the writing,missing commas,reads the name of student and starts asking meaning of the child’s name.Then sheds light on the history of name and this continues…I feel like an unwanted,extra being sitting there with children all chattering excitedly with her.I give horrible disgusting looks to both but they fail to comprehend the tone of my eyes or just pretend to…

After some fifteen twenty minutes,she leaves due to some chore or phone call etc.

Its like rounding up the kids like goats again silencing them,pulling them back into the routine,establishing the tempo again…

When she again makes entry,yes by the excuse of checking if the light was properly working or the heater was working fine-gas to nai leak ho rai thi?etc etc;P

Then sits there,with her tasbeeh,first just like a shy,silent,shareef kid.and then she starts talking about how lovely dress the other girl had on herself,where did she get it?Asking for the tailor,advising them to learn stitching….

Contribution of kids

This is what kids do?

washroom/drink water/sharpen pencils/giggle over silly things/blame other kid for making them laugh…

contribution of A.R.

He is btw my lil bro’ who did not study by himself and ammi advised him to sit with the other kids so that he might be effected by the ilmi atmosphere and start studying but he is the boss of all kids-making them laugh,telling them ways to skip and teaching them excuses etc—-

Challi wala,icecream wala,papar wala…

These people have such a big role in the disturbance in my class-Their voices in the street fill the kids with excitement and it takes a bit to calm them down,They keep on blaring their music or voice for a long time to attract kids and disturb the ilmi atmosphere of my calss:/

Wapda walay:

These people decide to play with the electricity just at that time and especially if the kids have an assessment/test and they are studying some quarter-heartedly…

 

 

Digital manners!
