Power of punctuation

Punctuation plays a great role to give meaning for a sentence. Here is an example from Wikipedia:

Sentence1: "woman, without her man, is nothing"
Sentence2: "woman: without her, man is nothing"

Both of these sentences have the same words. However, the meanings of these two sentences are completely different ! What makes the meaning different ? The answer is the punctuations ! Thus, they are very powerful !

Srilankan temple music

My Srilankan friend shared me this music. He said that it is played in temples. I'm a Hindu but I've not noticed this music in our temples. ... perhaps bcoz I don't go to temples often... Anyway, I liked this music.

Baghban - A good hindi movie

Recently I watched Baghban, a hindi movie released in 2003 (available here). Although the movie is 3 hours long, I didn't get bored even a single second ! Truely  a great movie ! Clearly sends a good message... it is all about a couple who spend everything for their 4 sons but ultimately gets nothing (no respect) from them, after the retirement of the husband. The man who helped you take your first steps, will you help him to take his last ones, is the question Ravi Chopra asks through Baghban (read more review here).

Will I be treating my parents as the four sons did in the movie ? Never ! I'll never ever try to become like them! Here is a song from the same movie where the husband and wife who are forced to be separated by their sons to reduce the burden of caring their parents are singing over the phone to express their love to each other...

Voice Translation

First time when I came to France, I was thinking of some devices to translate my voice into French simply because French (and only French) is everywhere from restaurant to department ... ... umm. I had neither a good knowledge of French nor such devices. Thus, I would have bought some devices that recognize one's voice and play into target languages if they were available.

I'm aware of the difficulties in translations.  However, like other fields, this area is also making some progress. As an example, Google's Android phone application, shown in following video, understands and translates a person's voice in English to French. It's interesting, isn't it ?

Devices make people feel lonely

I was reading an article about text only friend, a good article indeed. I liked some of the points the writer mentioned in his article. One of them was:

"But the tragic, isolating thing is that we reach for our devices because we don’t want to seem lonely — which is causing us to avoid our peers and actually be lonely."

We say that we feel lonely if we don't have phones, laptops or PDAs. And we use them to avoid that. Actually, if we hadn't had such devices, we would have looked around and communicate with people. Moreover, I've seen many times when we go to meet a friend in his home, we start using his computer to browse Internet rather than sharing things each other. Thus, these devices are hindering us  from becoming more social.
Another point the writer has mentioned is:

“Everyone wants everyone else to say hi but doesn’t want to be the person saying hi"

I fully agree with this sentence too. I think no reason is needed to justify it. I take it as a premise sentence :).
And finally I knew another new word “fauxting’’ which means nothing but a fake texting.
