Yet another Link of the day to cover up for my laziness.

I promise to write more about this later in this space.

Link of the day - 2
Another lazy day and another lazy environment out here in Kuwait. Its raining since morning. Wet, cloudy and definitely anything but conducive to work. This is the type of weather to sit in the garden under a big umbrella, feel the breeze in your face and watch the clouds and the rain play tricks on your mind ... not to forget the cup of hot tea ofcourse ...
Well seems great -- so that's what I will do ... In the meantime, you can visit the following website to know more about Enterprise Risk management :-)
http://www.casact.org/research/erm/
Okay, just to be nice to you also, I will also leave you with a Leisure link of the day ...
http://www.digitalcamera-hq.com/digital-cameras/ Quite a good site to be checking out digital cameras, understanding features for newbies and making all sort of comparisons between vendors and models. Don't buy a digital camera without looking at this site ....
Cheers

As we go
Even as we said in the introduction, the intention is to spread knowledge and positive thoughts using this blog.
Be aware that I have tried this before ... with very very limited success. And somewhere at back of my mind, I know that this blog space will also fall into dis-use soon. :-)
Before I give you the links of previous failures (gloom ? -- no failures are stepping stones to success hence I do not view them negatively) -- but before I do that let me give you links to the reason I am here making a fresh attempt.
First the blog of a very good friend -- Praveen Bhat. I do not know whether he has assumed a new name in his life in the Sanyas zone ... but his blog is very much active at http://anythingwise.blogspot.com/ -- He puts some thoughts so beautifully that one can only marvel at his observation powers and ability to record both his thoughts and feelings.
Another very good reason were the blogs being maintained by Sasikumar (I should correctly say Dr. Sasikumar) who beneath is polite and soft-spoken appearance is one of the most deep thinking teacher and inspiring individual that I have ever personally met. His blogs are at http://the-little-sasi.livejournal.com/ and http://thelittlesasi.blogspot.com/
Finally, Dr. Ramani's logs on http://newstudentresearch.blogspot.com/ -- He, as always, has made an inspiring and innovative use of his blog-space to stimulate serious student research into areas of ICT. I hope he is able to inspire and mentor as many young researchers as he did when he touched our lives in NCST.
Well, looking at the blogs of all these great people above, I thought of having some small place for myself also to try to contribute something good to the world.
As I wrote earlier, I did try some of this earlier -- but it was either a negative cribbing or unabashed self-promotion.
You can check my blog at MSN space although be assured you are not missing anything if you don't -- http://spaces.msn.com/members/gsarnaik/
You can also check my web sites at http://www.sarnaik.net and http://gautam.sarnaik.net both of which degenerated into self-promotion so I don't update it too much!
Anyways these links are here just for the record. So when i come back here, I will remember where my pages are :-)
Well, have a good day and see you soon.
InshaAllah, I will have more positive information here in future.
PS: The original post was published days back but had some major errors on account of not using a spell-check! For those who missed it I am not going to say what they were hence today -- Jan 21, I am putting out a corrected version.

Introduction
Let us just say Shri Ganeshay Namah !!! and start with it.
Being a reader by habit, an auditor by profession, and engineer by education there is an inbuilt compulsion to conform with the practice of putting an introduction first and foremost [luckily I dont have to put an index/ table of contents here].
The title to begin with -- Surya-rath : meaning the Chariot of the Sun.
I remember reading a few lines from the Bhagwad Gita wherein Shri Krishna says to Arjuna that this mind/ thoughts are like the horses of a charioter. All are strong able-bodied horses and each wants to go in his own direction and speed.
Just like that the mind wanders as it goes ahead and random thoughts of differing strengths go through it. Sometimes it is just a pleasant journey, seeing where the chariot goes ... tasting what is pleasant in the sight and sounds as they come ... So does my mind wander first to this then that ... The Internet only gives a well paved highway for such wandering.
Some times the wandering leads to uueful subjects like technology, IT, Management, Money, friends, networking, career, education etc etc .... and sometimes it drops one down into swamps from where it is difficult to extract oneself. but now we truly wander.
Anyways so the same Shri Krishna has also said that the Yogi (dont know who he is but lets just go ahead) is like a skilled charioteer who knows his horses well and guides them all along a common and good direction. Thats what makes an efficient chariot -- let us also guide our ramblings and thoughts into a common good direction.
That wandering must have explained the rath i.e. the chariot. If chariot it is, then I can think of only a few symbols -- "Shri Krishna and Arjuna" "Ben-Hur" and our own Surya-dev or Sun-God. It is said that the Surya dev has a Golden rath of 7 horses. All strong and able bodied ... But the charioteer, Aruna [For the record, Aruna was the elder brother of Garuda which is Vishnu's 'vahana' or vehicle]
Since the intention of this blog is both to wander about and talk about/ experience the good which better rath than that of the Sun-God. Just as He with his mere arrival dispels away all gloom and darkness, and keeps away everything dark and shadowy -- let this blog only experience the good and try to keep from wandering into the dark or negative ...
With this few words ;-) let us go forth ...
