The Communications Game :)




For a telecommunications graduate or well post graduate...the words "bird" and "chirp" have a very special significance...specially when it has something to do with space...the satellites often come with neat names from our day to day life...anyways...the point being made here is that there is now one satellite at almost every 1 degree in space looking in any direction from the center of the earth...so in all this chatter trying to figure out who's saying what is a bit challenging...we observed that the concept of stealing data from a satellite comes with a cool tiny nano-satellite that docks on that bird of interest...this nanolite then relays all the frequency feed to its parent satellite...the ground stations then relay to a super computing farm...this decodes every single conversation and stores it in a highly compressed format (voice print plus phonetics)...the nanolite is so tiny that it does not even register a drop in momentum or addition of weight on the host satellite...the dark side of stealing voice prints is that a fake conversation can be created any time with anyone's voice and they don't even know that the call was made...! The wars of tomorrow will be "small" but in a situation where you cannot believe your communications gear...is there a point in waging the war in the first place...! I personally believe in non-violence...and there are a great many advantages of doing stuff this way even in terms of today's world...i'd say the best piece of advise i ever got on communications gear was using a land line with a chord rather than a cordless...! So if i were to modify kung fu master oogway's lines a bit..."electronics...no electronics...cold drinks...no cold drinks...we are so consumed by what is and what will be...we forget to enjoy the basics...yesterday is history...tomorrow is a mystery...but today is a gift and that is why it is called the present!" I wish there was a way to bring conflict to an end...however where one man's dream is another man's nightmare this will never go away...and then to tell everyone that its a beautiful creation...this matrix where each one serves his own purpose without often knowing for his entire life as to what his/her purpose was...i often fear that the creator must laugh and feel sad at the same time how man wants to destroy everything he created even after knowing that he is all but a fuel cell in a wall in this grid...where he could'nt even hurt an insect if he wanted to as he was limited to the glass jar with "gravity" for blood :) !

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino Land] - II

Image
Kaziranga National Park has four gates for entry into the buffer zones...the drive lasts about two hours per gate...and if you are lucky you will get a guide (gypsy driver) who is full of knowledge and will explain all the names of the birds and animals during the drive. The East gate is a bird watchers paradise...actually all gates are equally interesting...this time of the year makes it a perfect destination to visit as the river levels are low and the animals are in their natural habitat with full abundance. The brave rangers of Kaziranga that look after the wildlife round the clock...it is sad that there are still poachers in this beautiful animal paradise...needless to say that the rangers keep them at bay. Some general wildlife pictures i tried to capture with my super old Canon EOS550D with a Tamron 18-400mm lens...i would have loved to upgrade to a Canon EOS R7 with a Canon 200-800mm lens...however that combination is a bit heavy on the hands and my fingers were literally cramp...

A good visit to Kaziranga National Park [Rhino land]

Image
I'm NOT  a professional photographer...however during my recent  visit to Kaziranga National Park as part of my annual holiday i captured the below images. These two panoramas are typical of the landscape of Kaziranga...it is spread over 430 Sq. Km....vast expanses  of fertile land covered with silt from the river Brahmaputra...the river floods every year...all the animals are affected annually. This is a typical Bamboo built structure...in this case it is a restaurant...had some local chicken here...! A visit to the Orchid Park...a very nice collection of orchids from the entire North-East India...they have kept them alive and cultivated them through a lot of sheer effort...hats off to the local Karbi folks for thinking of such an idea and developing it. There was a traditional dance program at the arena next to the orchid park...sneaked in some photos :) These are traditional dances from Assam and North-East India...typically done during harvest time etc. The Tea Factor...

A taste of Freedom :)

Image
  It has been ages since i took the opportunity to swing the flag around...this year just happened to be the one...many people post independence feel patriotic about this day...some feel like they can take their freedom for granted...me on the other hand...i don't really go all out in the colors of the flag...but I'm quite a bit nationalistic...quite a bit conservative...and quite a bit of a kid singing those happy songs in my mind...leading the  mind readers to their own "graves" in my own sweet way...best part is they don't even mind :) maybe they don't understand...the matrix is never meant to have all the keys to the universe in one place...they are distributed all over the place...and well hidden...some in plain sight...life has been one roller coaster ride...from those streets where they sold our lives for a dollar...to these streets where the grid is too kind and provides protection and affection...we are wary and we are aware...for it is not everyday t...
