<p><a href="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71364-0.html">Here</a> is the link </p>
<p>PS :: As someone ,whose toughest question at job interviews was &#8220;why did you take Computer Vision &#8221; and / or &#8220;why did you not follow it up with  other related subjects ?&#8221; and / or &#8220;What IS computer Vision&#8221; , will tell you ( and as will I ) .. Computer Vision @ IIIT places you amongst the non-bald eggheads of the class , if not the entire computer savvy community.<br />
With my limited knowledge / understanding / accumen of the matter, I found the link above very very interesting. Probably the non-bald eggheads would explain it a lot better (better .. ehh .. actually .. they are the ones who would explain it .. I am too lazy and ill-informed and bored to write anything else about it).  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><blockquote><p>NDTV Correspondent<br />
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 (New Delhi):<br />
The government has announced that the 27 per cent OBC quota in central universities will be implemented from June 2007. From the next academic session 27 per cent seats in centrally controlled education institutions- including those aided by the Centre, will go to OBC candidates. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ndtv.com/template/template.asp?template=Reservation&amp;slug=OBC+quota%3A+Govt+sets+June+2007+deadline&amp;id=19462&amp;callid=0&amp;category=National"><em>more&#8230;</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>This was expected, atleast when the prime minister has nothing to do with the Government. He is just a mute puppet. Its the congress who&#39;s the culprit and who gains from this vote luring&nbsp;political weapon in the long run.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><font color="#8d0000">SHAME ON THE UPA GOVT. - They announce quotas for OBCs despite ongoing negotiations<br />
</font></strong>The youth of today feels that they have been abandoned by their own country. Despite the intensity of the protests and the ongoing negotiations, the UPA government has decided to push through with its proposed 27% quota for OBCs.<br />
<b>ARE WE LIVING IN A DEMOCRACY OR DO WE HAVE TO BOW DOWN TO THIS AUTOCRATIC REGIME???</b><b>WE WILL NOT GIVE UP OUR STRUGGLE-WE WILL NOT STOP OUR PROTEST-THE STRIKE&#8230;</b></p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.youth4equality.org/"><em>more&#8230;</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>These folks at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youth4equality.org/"><em>YFE</em></a> are doing a good job in protesting in a peaceful and organised manner. Lets hope that this brings out some good at the end.</p>
<blockquote><p>Many of us may not be aware that the Mandal formula of the 1980s, originally reserving 50 per cent of the seats in government service and educational institutions for Other Backward Castes, is based on the Census data of 1931. The Census process was affected by the World War in 1941, and from 1951 on caste, data are not collected (except that pertaining to Scheduled Castes and Tribes) as it was felt that these numbers may not further the aim of creating a casteless society.</p></blockquote>
<p>Prof. R Vaidyanathan (IIMB) points out the flaws and the incorrect data the governement is quoting in his article&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/2006/05/18/stories/2006051800251000.htm"><em>Reservations: Let down by weak data</em></a></p>
<blockquote><p>If government would focus on improving the quality of the 240 bad institutions, it would do more for the millions of OBCs than to throw them a few crumbs in the IITs and IIMs.</p>
<p>If we rapidly increased the supply of good institutions there would be no need for reservations. But this would mean doing hard work, and it&#39;s a lot easier to redistribute poverty.</p>
<p>If greed is the vice of capitalism, envy is the flaw of socialism. &quot;From each according to ability and to each according to his need&quot;, was the rallying cry of Marxism as it set out to create a classless, egalitarian society.</p></blockquote>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1540050.cms"><em>Gurcharan Das</em></a>&nbsp;talks about the alternative methods but i dont think Govt. is looking for a solution or for any benefit of backward classes. There can be many reforms possible but this (reservation) is shortest way to get votes and get away without doing anything.</p>
<blockquote><p>But for all the negative vibes that Medha Patkar attracts she is probably the best the thing that could have happened to a country caught up in the complex processes of economic and social reform. By camping on hunger-strike at Jantar Mantar in the heart of Delhi to get justice for the people being thrown out of their homes and lands for the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Madhya Pradesh, she has forced the country to face the problems of eviction and rehabilitation, which could finally undermine all economic progress.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Medha&rsquo;s strident campaign and her fast unto death at Jantar Mantar under the UPA government&rsquo;s nose brought national attention to the Sardar Sarovar Dam and the true lies of official records. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.theindiancatholic.com/news_read.asp?nid=1669"><em>more&#8230;</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>One has to agree with this and the results Medha Patkar reaped for the residents of Madhya Pradesh. Its an example in front of us on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.theindiancatholic.com/news_read.asp?nid=1669"><em>how strike and protest can help</em></a><em>.</em></p>
<blockquote><p><cite>In this whole episode, the most stunning news for me was when the Hon&#39;ble minister announced increase in intake to compensate for the reservations. This would amount to nearly 56% overall increase in undergraduate intake in the IITs. This showed complete ignorance of what makes IIT undergraduate education tick. There are few Institutions in the world where undergraduate students get to interact one to one and so freely with such high-caliber faculty. Students are advised on courses in small groups, interact over hostel dinners, go on industrial trips and finally carry out a well supervised project. Every undergraduate student does an intensive &quot;novel&quot; project either individually or in groups of two and he/she is effectively &quot;supervised&quot; by a faculty member. Many of them result in publications. This system evolved when the student-faculty ratio was 6:1 and is getting strained at the seams when it has reached 12:1. In some disciplines like Computer Sciences and Electrical Engineering where market competition is heavy, it has already gone to 20:1 and above. Though currently producing excellent results, it is a highly non-scalable mechanism. Intake increase on this scale, when effectively faculty strengths in key areas are decreasing could sound a death-knell to one of our few international<br />
brand names.</cite></p>
<p><cite>I have a poser for Prof. Jayati Ghosh, my well renowned colleague from JNU and a member of the knowledge commission. She has justified reservations in IITs based on the poor ranking of IITs internationally. Her argument is anyway these Institutions are not great, why they should crib about the quality of intake. She nowhere states that any of the 400+ odd Institutions worldwide which are ranked above IITs have achieved their status through reservations. In that case all Tamil Nadu Engineering Colleges with 69% reservation for decades (openly defying the Supreme Court suggested norm of 50%) now should be at the top.</cite></p></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<p align="left">Even as the quota storm shows no sign of dying down, the government today clearly indicated that it was not ready to relent on the issue. Rather, the Centre has given a two-year deadline to the private sector to introduce reservations for the backward classes. The government may even bring in a law to that effect if the companies fail to do so. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=297086&amp;sid=ARC"><em>more&#8230;</em></a><font color="#0000ff">&nbsp;</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">Reservation in private companies will be worse than in the education institutions. Already people from corporate world has started opposing the idea. Lets see whats more in the store and how CII handles this issue. Some extracts from <a target="_blank" href="http://in.news.yahoo.com/060507/211/642kk.html"><em>Sunil Bharti Mittal&#39;s interview</em></a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><strong>Karan Thapar:</strong><i> If the government were to surprise you and actually implement reservations, how would CII react? </i></p>
<p><b>Sunil Bharti Mittal:</b> I think it would be wrong for me, at this forum, to take a position on behalf of CII, but I would say if there is a law then it needs to be followed.</p>
<p><b>Karan Thapar:</b><i> But would you consider going to the court like Rahul Bajaj, who has twice been the president of CII in the past, said should be the case? </i></p>
<p><b>Sunil Bharti Mittal:</b> I would say that anything that is going to hurt the industry&rsquo;s competitiveness will have to be fought. At what forum, which place, courts or outside courts or politically, needs to be dealt with. Until the time that will not be turned away or reversed I think we will have to follow the orders.</p></blockquote>
<p align="left"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.deeshaa.org/2006/05/14/imagine-no-reservations/"><em>Atanu dey digs deep and provides some thoughtful solutions</em></a> to the current problem and how can we rectify our current flawed educational system.</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">Sure it is harder to get into the IITs than into the top American schools. That does not mean that the IITs are in any way better than those American schools. It is a Herculean task to get into a Mumbai local during commute hours, compared to which using the Paris Metro is a piece of cake. Congestion is not an indicator of quality. When supply is severely limited relative to demand, there will be a mad scramble to get some.</p>
<p align="left">The fundamental problem with the Indian economy is that the education system is one of the most flawed systems in the country. If there is one sector which is in dire need of reform, it is that education system. The most urgently required reform is to get the government out of it&mdash;lock, stock, and barrel. The recent move by the government to further increase quotas in the so-called elite institutions with a view to social justice is akin to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. No, I take that back: it is akin to scuttling the lifeboats even as the ship is sinking.</p>
<p>Is there no role for the government in the education sector? Yes, there is, but it is severely restricted to three functions:</p>
<ul>
<li>First, funding (but not the provisioning) of universal education up to high school level</li>
<li>Second, providing an independent regulatory authority for the higher education sector so that private firms can compete fairly on a level playing field</li>
<li>Third, providing educational loan guarantees to banks</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p><em><a target="_blank" href="http://dhoomk2.blogspot.com/">Dhoomketu</a></em> tries to comlete the list of OBC&#39;s and comes up&nbsp;with a sarcastic&nbsp;suggestion.</p>
<blockquote><p>However, now that the time has come to implement changes and turn IITs/ IIMs and other central universities into instruments of social justice, I want to add a few other socially and educationally backward classes to the OBC list. 1) Geeks, 2) Upcoming Actresses, 3) Foreign tourists, 4) Most Indian cricketers, 5)Indian writers in regional languages, 6) Comics characters, 7) Bloggers. <a target="_blank" href="http://dhoomk2.blogspot.com/2006/04/socially-and-educationally-backward.html"><em>read more&#8230;</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>I totally agree with <a target="_blank" href="http://mymercatus.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-reservations-might-be-good-idea.html"><em>Naveen</em></a> that we need a reform and for that we need a crisis. What worse can happen than most of the top slot deserving cadidates not getting an entry into the today&#39;s prestigious professional insitutes of India. This will broaden the already existing gap&nbsp;of demand and supply.</p>
<blockquote><p>Any sound higher education market needs the freedom of whom to teach, what to teach and how to teach. There is no need for a central Department of Higher Education (part of MHRD) in the Indian government. There may be a case for a department at the state level to maintain a registration list of universities and colleges. In fact, roads and de-regulation can do far good to targetted groups rather than reservations.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Right now, we are far far removed from a sound market. To get there we need a repeat of the crisis before Liberalization. So don&#39;t be surprised by an increase in the &quot;black market&quot; fees for seats in higher education. I am keeping my hands crossed for the &quot;innovative&quot; responses of the private sector and the citizens. <a target="_blank" href="http://mymercatus.blogspot.com/2006/04/why-reservations-might-be-good-idea.html"><em>more&#8230;</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p>People will eventually move on to other private sector college who provide quality education (as in IIIT&#39;s and ISB&#39;s) without and reservation which will inturn help these institutes to get&nbsp;more creamy layer&nbsp;students and hence&nbsp;raise the quality of output&nbsp;which will in turn&nbsp;fetch more status. Eventually demand and kinda craze ppl have today for IIT&#39;s and IIM&#39;s will decrease and we will see lesser number of ppl rushing towards all those money churning machines called as coaching centers (except a few flag bearers) as private education will be easy and will not be such a pain to get into one.</p>
<p>As more money will go into private colleges and institutes and if used properly,&nbsp;quality education will be more easier&nbsp;for unreserved students.&nbsp;The only basis of this solution is to eradicate Govt. hands from educational system.</p>

4. How many generations need reservations<br />
5. A cast can not be generalized by a few people<br />
6. Minority is not as objective as it sounds<br />
7. Reservation benefits only a few SC/ST/OBCs<br />
8. SC/ST/OBC know that they don&#39;t have any competition<br />
9. Long Term Effects</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><em>Sidhuism is witticism Sidhu is known for. I bet he can be the most popular commentator in India. Lets take a look at his witty analogies and his comments which coined a new word &#39;Sidhuism&#39; and fetched a mention at wikipedia.</em></p>
<p><strong><u><em>Really Nasty Ones</em></u></strong></p>
<p>As a rule man is a fool,<br />
When its hot he wants it cool,<br />
And when its cool he wants it hot,<br />
Always wants what is not!</p>
<p>A fifty is like kissing a virgin, you just have to go on.</p>
<p>Warne is a victim of his own success. He has taken to women the way an ostrich takes to the skies.</p>
<p>If my aunty had been a man she would have been my uncle.</p>
<p>That ball went so high it could have got an air hostess down with it.</p>
<p>There is light at the end of the tunnel for India, but it&#39;s that of an incoming train which will run them over.</p>
<p>Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.</p>
<p>This quote was made after Ganguly called Dravid for a run and midway sent him back and Dravid was runout in the third test against the West Indies at Barbados.<br />
&quot;Ganguly has thrown a drowning man both ends of the rope.&quot;</p>
<p>The world is all about mind and matter; I don&#39;t mind and you don&#39;t matter. When Farooque Sheikh, host of the talk show Jeena isi ka naam hai asked him what he thinks of those who criticize his style of commentary.</p>
<p>Deep Dasgupta is as confused as a child is in a topless bar!</p>
<p>You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.</p>
<p>He is like a one-legged man in a bum kicking competition.</p>
<p>The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.</p>
<p>This bowler bowls so slow that the batsmen have enough time to call home and talk to their wives between every delivery</p>
<p>Pitches are like husband!!! They keep slowing down!!!</p>
<p>His slower ball was so slow that my mama can run faster than that</p>
<p>His footwork is like a car in a traffic jam</p>
<p>The ball missed the bat like a kiss in a hindi movie</p>
<p>He is a constipated batsman/bowler, put&#39;s in a lot of effort and has very little results to show for in the end.</p>
<p>When a loud appeal was rejected:<br />
Big outcry, no outcome!</p>
<p>Good intentions die unless utilized.</p>
<p>The gap between bat and pad is so much that I would have driven a car through it&#8230; !!</p>
<p><strong><u><em>Women and their clothes</em></u></strong></p>
<p>Statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than what they hide.</p>
<p>Comments should be like skirts. Short enough to keep your attention, but long enough to cover the subject</p>
<p>Statistics are like bikinis&hellip; what they reveal is suggestive, what they hide is essential!</p>
<p>Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!</p>
<p>The Sri Lankans are running between the wickets as if their wives are chasing them with a belan.</p>
<p><strong><u><em>Taxi is his favourite</em></u></strong></p>
<p>Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter.</p>
<p>He is like Indian three-wheeler which will suck a lot of diesel but cannot go beyond 30!</p>
<p>Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter.</p>
<p>He is like a fighterplane with the speed of an autorickshaw.</p>
<p><strong><u><em>On Indians</em></u></strong></p>
<p>The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.</p>
<p>The Indians are finding the gaps like a pin in a haystack.</p>
<p>The way Indian wickets are falling reminds of the cycle stand at Rajendra Talkies in Patiala..one falls and everything else falls!</p>
<p>INDIAN CRICKET IS LIKE INDIAN MONSOON, WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS, OR ELSE THERE IS DROUGHT</p>
<p>CRICKET IS THE GAME OF GLORIOUS UNCERTAINITIES! GLORIOUS-WHEN SRILANKANS PLAY, UNCERTAIN-WHEN INDIA PLAY</p>
<p>In London they drive on the left, in India we drive on what is left</p>
<p>Indians should now be on their toes like midgets at a urinal.</p>
<p>For the indians now it&#39;s &#39;fightback&#39; or &#39;flightback&#39;</p>
<p>The ball whizzes past like a bumble bee and the Indians are in the sea.</p>
<p>Yuvraj Singh - The pied piper of Punjab!</p>
<p>Harbhajan - The sardar from Jalandhar !</p>
<p>On S.Ramesh&#39;s diving catch in 1st innings of 2nd test vs. Sri Lanka:<br />
He flew like a bird and plucked it out of thin air.</p>
<p>Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a goal keeper. He must be given a free transfer to Manchester United.</p>
<p>The Indians are jelling together as a cohesive unit.</p>
<p>Dravid has hit this shot as straight as a candle.</p>
<p>When he fielded well as a substitute for Sachin Tendulkar in the 1 dayers:<br />
Ajit Agarkar is as fresh as a daisy.</p>
<p>Commenting on Ganguly after he was out for a low score in the 2nd Test against Zimbabwe:<br />
&#8230;Looks like a brooding hen over a china egg.<br />
Why a China egg?<br />
Because nothing will hatch out of it!</p>
<p>According to Navjot, Sourav Ganguly is &quot;The Burden of Calamity&quot;</p>
<p>In Bulawayo, when India beat Zimbabwe by eight wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the two-Test series:<br />
India have certainly erased the tag of tigers at home, pussy cats abroad!</p>
<p><strong><u><em>On Sachin Tendulkar</em></u></strong></p>
<p>Indian team without Sachin is like giving a Kiss without a Squeeze.</p>
<p>When Sachin hit a good shot against Zimbabwe: &quot;And that is the vintage Sachin we all know !&quot;</p>
<p>Commenting on an injured Tendulkar: &quot;A fallen lighthouse is more dangerous than a reef.&quot;</p>
<p>In reference to spectators flocking to watch the little genius bat: &quot;Tendulkar is the pied piper!&quot;</p>
<p>One comment he made that they picked up in the papers over here was regarding a shot Tendulker played off his toes: &quot;he played that like a dwarf at a urinal.&quot;</p>
<p><strong><u><em>On Kiwi&#39;s</em></u></strong></p>
<p>The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings!</p>
<p>New Zealanders have their limits, The kiwis are the birds that cannot fly!</p>
<p>About Chris Harris he said: &quot;He is a dibbly dobbly bowler.&quot;</p>
<p>In India&#39;s last match against New Zealand: &quot;New Zealanders are like bicycles in a cycle stand - one falls down and the complete row will be down!&quot;</p>
<p>To Martin Crowe in a match against New Zealand: &quot;India is going to crush the Kiwis and Martin will need a hanky at that time!&quot;<br />
(Later he offered a towel instead of a hanky when NZ scored 209)</p>
<p>To Martin Crowe: &quot;The Indians are going to beat the Kiwis! Let me tell you, my friend, that the Kiwi is the only bird in the whole world which does not have wings!&quot;</p>
<p><strong><u><em>Some Okie dokie types</em></u></strong></p>
<p>You cannot make Omlets without breaking the eggs.</p>
<p>He will fight a rattlesnake and give it the first two bites too.</p>
<p>One, who doesn&#39;t throw the dice, can never expect to score a six.</p>
<p>Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.</p>
<p>Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.</p>
<p>The cat with gloves catches no mice.</p>
<p>Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth.</p>
<p>You may have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg.</p>
<p>If only he could learn how to play, he would make a great player!</p>
<p>They will not only come back home with their cup, but with the opposition&#39;s cherries as well</p>
<p>On the 3rd day of 3rd test match - the indian spectators are as boisterous as a dead dodo</p>
<p>U can take the tiger out of the jungle, but u can&#39;t take the jungle out of the tiger</p>
<p>Its very difficult to kill a man who is hell bent upon committing suicide!</p>
<p>This quote was made after Eddie Nichols, the third umpire, ruled Shivnarine Chanderpaul &#39;NOT OUT&#39; in the second test at Port of Spain, T&amp;T. &quot;Eddie Nichols is a man who cannot find his own buttocks with his two hands.&quot;</p>
<p>Commenting on Sri Lankans as demons on the slow and sluggish pitches: &quot;When you are dining with the demon you&#39;ve got to have a long spoon!&quot;</p>
<p>When Atapattu ran Jayasuriya out: &quot;He has thrown him to the wolves&quot;.</p>
<p>Prasad beat a Sri Lankan batsman: &quot;He opened him like a can of beans&quot;.</p>
<p>Muralitharan bowling to the last Indian pair: &quot;The wily fox is back. Its an ill omen when a fox licks its lambs&quot;.</p>
<p>We are all Adam&#39;s children &#8212; it&#39;s just the silk that makes all the difference!</p>
<p>Right now he&#39;s looking like a Cheshire cat that&#39;s had loads of cream!</p>
<p>In the midst of a verbal duel with Tony Greig: &quot;If ifs and buts were pots and pans, there would be no tinkers!&quot;.</p>
<p>Applauding Reetinder Singh Sodhi&#39;s fighting spirit: &quot;Young Ricky will fight a rattlesnake and give him the first two bites!&quot;.</p>
<p>And when Ricky took a wicket: &quot;He is flowing like a river - simply unstoppable!&quot;</p>
<p>About the Zimbabwean batsmen: &quot;Cats on a hot tin roof&#8230;&quot;</p>
<p>Talking about the distribution of money in the Indian cricket team: &quot;Money is like manure. Its no good unless you spread it!&quot;</p>
<p>Talking about the tail of the Indian batting order: &quot;They are so timid, they wouldn&#39;t say boo to a goose!&quot;</p>
<p>When Dravid nicked Bond through the slips for 4 from a full half volley, &quot;That&#39;s Ok from Bond, in order to catch a trout you must be prepared to lose a fly&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Gamblers they Are like Toilets BROKE one Day Flush The Next&quot;, Navjot Sidhu Talks About The decision To Bring On Harbhajan Singh Into The attack During The 1st Test In Wellington New Zealand.</p>
<p>In the orchard of opportunity, you can&#39;t wait for the fruit to drop.</p>
<p>I lean on statistics like a drunken man leans on a lamppost, only for support, not illumination</p>
<p>He has a backlift like an octopus falling out of a tree, all over the place!</p>
<p>He&#39;s wallowing in foolishness like a rhino in an African pool.</p>
<p>There is always free cheese in a mousetrap</p>
<p>Come to my parlour said the spider to the fly</p>
<p>A dog kennel is no place to hide a sausage</p>
<p>You can never unscramble eggs.</p>
<p>Fattest pigs go to the butcher first.</p>
<p>A good lather is half the shave&#8230;</p>
<p>As cool as a cucumber, as wily as a a fox!</p>
<p>This shot was as sweet as tooti frooti!</p>
<p>Great feathers make great birds!</p>
<p>As crisp as a cracker.</p>
<p>The pitch is as dead as a dodo.</p>
<p>My idea of a bird is 36-24-36.</p>
<p>As innocent as freshly laid eggs.</p>
<p>All that comes from a cow is not milk.</p>

<p>As part of the summer carnival on the 22nd April Hyderabad Central had a good fashion show displaying their summer collections. What shoppers had for FREE were gr8 and gorgeous models from Bangalore, Hip trance music and foot thumping desi mixes, Cool clothes and accessories from summer collection&#39;s of Lee, Provogue, Akriti, Weekender, FastTrack and more. And some not-so-cool-folks who came just for shopping had their time with empty trials rooms.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://static.flickr.com/46/134050122_c694e69ab7_o.jpg"><img align="textTop" width="120" src="http://static.flickr.com/46/134050122_c694e69ab7_m.jpg" height="90" /></a></p>
<p>Show started at around 6:30 and went on till 8:30. Special seats were arranged only for women and the entire first floor was booked for them .. while men were left standing on the galleries of upper floors looking down. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://static.flickr.com/46/134050085_2907a81417_o.jpg"><img align="textTop" width="120" src="http://static.flickr.com/46/134050085_2907a81417_m.jpg" height="90" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Google Calendar has worked for me. I was not a Gmail user, but Google calender has forced me to shift to Gmail. The following are a few of my wishes of features in Google Calendar. (But i know Google people dont listen to me. Like in &#39;Mark All Read&#39; feature of Google Reader. )</p>
<p>* Configurable duration of the day (eg. show only 7am to 10pm). This will fit the full calendar in my screen (no scrolling needed.)</p>
<p>* A public/shared view of the calendar. Will help me publish my busy/non busy hours.</p>
<p>* Previous 2 days and next 4 days view [ numbers should be configurable ]</p>
<p>* Integrate with Gmail/GTalk/GToolbar more closely</p>
<p>- from calendar give links to associated mail</p>
<blockquote></blockquote>
<p>- from gmail show calendar agenda in sidebar</p>
<p>* To-Do lists</p>
<p>* Set to-date equal to from-date by default if not available (eg. while adding event from mail)</p>
<p>* New entry / edit event details should also be popup ( like the event info popup )</p>
<p>* Multiple days (but not full day) event should be shown like single day event streteched across multiple days. (The current way of showing it in full day events is stupid.)</p>
<p>* Upload a file associated with an event</p>
<p>* Cell phone notification service in india and should be synced with a cell phones calendar <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> (like Active Sync in Outlook)</p>
<p>* Should avoid being classified as &quot;web based email&quot; in websense!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>google has released <a href="">google calendar</a></p>
<p>with a rich features list -<br />
- search support<br />
- &#8216;quick add&#8217; which i first saw in 30boxes and instantly liked it<br />
- invitation handling.<br />
- <a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/topic.py?topic=8606">calendar sharing</a> looks useful. a group of people can edit same calendar.<br />
- <a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/topic.py?topic=8569">gmail integration</a> gives it the unmatched advantage. but it isnt as cool as one in <a href="http://www.zimbra.com/">zimbra</a>.<br />
- <a href="http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html">event publishing</a> looks cool too. <br />
- draging,resizing(steps of half hour) of event<br />
- the most important feature of google calendar is going to be <a href="http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=37802">Calendar Data API </a> (coming soon&#8230;)</p>
<p>i am in search of a good calendar from years, and was never satisfied with anything availabe. i have tried almost every calendar available. all sucked big time including one from yahoo. recently released <a href="http://www.kiko.com/">kiko</a> and <a href="http://30boxes.com/">30boxes</a> are good, but couldnt make me a customer. i guessed google will acquire one soon. sad for them, google has come up with its own. hopefully google competitors will need one soon and they might get lucky.</p>
