India's historic win against the Aussies in the recently concluded Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series has been hailed by many as a defining moment in cricketing history. Beating the Kangaroos in their own backyard is not an easy task, especially when they have been the dominators of world cricket since the 1990s. Although Ricky Ponting's men still remain on top of the ICC rankings, they have lost the 'Invincible' tag, bowing down to bunch of spirited, young Indians.
Australia's loss of supremacy, however, does not come as much of a surprise. With the majority of the team being on the wrong side of the 30s, it was only a matter of time before they were upstaged by some young, fresh blood. What is significant, however, is the way in which the Indians have managed to defeat them. The Indians played tough cricket on field, remained unfazed by the Aussie gamesmanship, and what's more, paid them back in their own coin. Throughout the series, the Indian players looked confident, and under the able leadership of M S Dhoni, managed to bring out their best for the country.

Things to say if caught sleeping at your desk
Face it, we all feel sleepy the moment we enter the office premises. But what if your boss caught you sleeping at your desk? Here is what you can tell him:
• "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."
• "This is just a 15 minute power-nap as described in that time management course you sent me."
• "Whew! Guess I left the top off the White-Out You probably got here just in time!"
• "I wasn't sleeping! I was meditating on the mission statement and envisioning a new paradigm."
• "I was testing my keyboard for drool resistance."
• "I was doing Yoga exercises to relieve work-related stress."
• "Damn! Why did you interrupt me? I had almost figured out a solution to our biggest problem."
• "The coffee machine is broken..."
• "Someone must've put decaf in the wrong pot..."
• " ... in Jesus' name. Amen."
• "They told me at the blood bank this might happen."

Britney Chews Gum While Lip-Synching
Britney Spears is continuing her mini-tour of performances and, believe it or not, many are those who are still applauding her comeback... of sorts. However, even more are those who feel let down by the Princess of Pop, especially since, during her Anaheim gig, she chose to chew gum while lip-synching, thus making it all the more clear that, well, she is not a fan of singing live.
Of course, we have all grown up with Britney's music (more or less) and, thus, we all know only too well that she is not that kind of performer that sings live. In fact, I doubt anyone can say they saw Britney at least once singing and not simply mouthing the words of her tracks. Some fans find consolation in that, saying that, because there is a precedent, we can't all go 'Gee, she didn't even sing!'.
The bottom line is that, as the time passes, Britney's comeback is becoming the butt of all jokes for more and more people. If, in San Diego, she was well received, despite performing on stage for no more than 14 minutes, people who show up for her other shows are being offered less and less time. In Anaheim, for instance, the woman we all once called the pop idol spent only 12 minutes on stage while last night, in LA, her set was shortened by yet another minute.
And, to top it all, she doesn't even bother to pretend that she's singing any more. Many took this to heart, saying she couldn't have showed less respect than that to her fans had she tried. Die hard fans who went to the second gig were expecting something mind-blowing and were quite unprepared to see Britney chomping gum while not even bothering to mouth the words. Even more, there were quite a few who stated that her dance moves were not even that great to start with, and that the backup dancers were doing a fine greater job that the rehabbed star.
Even if this tour was not meant to be the big deal that it eventually turned out, people really hoped she would be able to pull this through. Back in January, after Britney's image took a turn for the worse, she promised she would be back 'bigger and better than ever'. Five months later, she gives us this: short sets, old choreography, old tracks, lame and tacky outfits and nothing of the glamor and fire that used to characterize her older shows. Was it all the waiting worth it? You tell me.

Nano Technology
When you think about nanotechnology, you need to think in terms of a number of disciplines that are all intertwined into one technology and which are encompassed under a single name and that are nanotechnology. In fact, it actually combines physics, biology, chemistry as well as materials science and also the entire range of engineering as well. What’s more, when people use the term nanotechnology they must be referring to something that is related to a new and exciting technology that in fact is encompassing the very best of modern scientific thoughts.
Essentially, nanotechnology refers to understanding the physical as well as biological and even chemical properties related to atomic and also semi-atomic scales. In fact, it can even be defined as being able to manipulate in a controlled manner atoms in order to create certain materials that have very exclusive abilities. However, it would be wrong to consider nanotechnology as being totally manmade because nature too has in fact, been using it from billions of years as is evident when we consider how enzymes are used together with catalysts to create various atoms as well as molecules that in turn have created life on this planet in a most unique manner.
Thus, today scientists are also considering how even water could be harnessed in order to power up our automobiles. All it may take is to break down water into several components and go beyond treating it simply as H2O. That is why it is not wrong to call nanotechnology as putting science to good use in creating things that are extremely small and which in fact are even much smaller than the width of a human hair.
In fact, nanotechnology gives man the capability to rearrange water’s very own atoms as also atoms of dirt and even the air in order to make it possible to create our own corn and rice. A simple illustration of putting nanotechnology to such use would be when man becomes able to rearrange the atoms of coal in order to create diamonds.

crushing defeat in the hands of ausies
today ie on feb 1 india saw the most ever crushing defeat in the hands of australia in the 20 20 match that was played at melbourne. one thing am very happy about is that atleast india managed to surpast the lowest score ever made at 20 20 by the kenya against new zealand which was 73.
no body in the indian side were able to withstand the ausie bolwing especially one must really appreciate their feilding today. it was awesome and they were right on the target especially the sehwag run out made by their skipper clarke. it was an awesome throw that was hit far from the stumps.
india just managed to take nly one wicket og ausies at the end givin the new debut player of india to take one wiket in his career. over all it was a very bad show that was put up and aus managed to wrap up the whole match in the 11th over itself. it can be rightly called as 10 10 instead of 20 20 as the match got over in almost 2 and half hours!!!!!
