“The first achievement of the swordsman is when the sword is one with his hand – then even a blade of grass can be a lethal weapon.
The next achievement is when the sword is one with his heart – then he can strike even when a hundred paces away.
The ultimate achievement is when the sword has been shunned from his hand and his heart – he is one with himself and the world…”
– From the Chinese movie “Hero”. Saw it on World movies. N ya I know the sword is Japanese…

As my regular visits to BBC’s Science and Technology portals continue, I came upon this fantastic interview of the talented Stephen Fry talking about – the Internet!
A brilliant read as he answers many of the most mundane questions with amazing zest…
Liked his views esp on ‘books vs internet’, an unexpected story when it comes to “abbrvtn in txtn”, “internet has turned us into kings” with one exception, so true wen it comes to “spelcheck”, and the happening thing – TWITTER!
Do read about it here…
The movie everyone should watch atleast once…
Think about this the next time you spend 500 rupees…

So currently I am reading the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (H2G2, as it is popularly known), so thought would just put in some of the most brilliant stuff Douglas Adams has written:
“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
