Hindu Vedas and Vaasthu!!!
I always have had faith on the presence of God and the ancient writings. We [ me and chittu] are planning to start building our house in the coming month. This made me little more interested in one of the old science on how to build a house. Yes nothing but Vaasthu sasthra.
I want to call it as a science, as it concentrates more on the positive vibrations to be be taken care when building a house. It is known that the ancient Egyptian civilization people build their house in places where animals used to put stay at nights. It is a fact that animals live in places of positive vibration. There are four great Vedas in Hindu civilization.
This is the foremost of all the Vedic writings. This consists of 1028 hymns composed in Sanskrit. These hymns are mostly towards praising of God and to be sung during some sacrificial rituals.
There are two primary collections or samhitas of the Yajurveda: Shukla (white) and Krishna (black). Both contain the verses necessary for rituals, but the Krishna Yajurveda has additional prose commentary and detailed instructions within the work itself.
The Samaveda ranks next in sanctity and liturgical importance to the Rigveda or Veda of Recited praise. Its Sanhita, or metrical portion, consists chiefly of hymns to be chanted by the Udgatar priests at the performance of those important sacrifices in which the juice of the Soma plant, clarified and mixed with milk and other ingredients, was offered in libation to various deities.
This seems to be a powerful one. The Atharvaveda is considered by many to be a dark and ystic science, pertaining to the spirits and the afterlife. It is told in Mahabharatha, that bheema used to tell some of the scripts in this and they shrunked the 13 years of vanavaasa to 13 days.
Apart from these four vedas, there are four more divisions namely Ayurveda - dealing with the medicine, Dhanurveda - dealing with war and the training for war, Arthasasthra - dealing with political concepts , Sthapathigasastra [ vasthusasthra] - dealing with builldings and sculptures. The last one talks more on how to plan a township, building of temples and building of houses.
more to come on Vasthu in the following posts.

Air Transfer seems to loose clarity
I bought a new IPOD with iTrip for my Tata Indica. I added a Blaupunkt Sevila audio system to the car at that time. With this new electronic gadget iTrip, The songs from Ipod can be transmitted via air on to the audio system with a specific frequency. The blaupunkt audio system provides a very good experience to ears when played from compact discs or from the FM Channels. I am not getting much clarity when songs are transmitted over the new gadgets.
Is there any special configuration, I need to do in gadget to have a better effect?
Please comment if you have any idea.

Are you a Skype User ? - Things to know.
Skype which provides free voice calls across desktops is a great tool which every one will love to use due to the quality of the voice and the lowest possible cost [RS 000/-] associated in it.
If you are on a limited usage [limited by download size] broadband connection with a good speed and a powerful computer then you should know these things.
As per the skype architecture, “Any Skype Client (SC) with a public IP address having sufficient CPU, memory, and network bandwidth is a candidate to become a super node (SN)”.
When your computer become a super node, the near by machines will start using your machine as a local server for locating other machines [ users ] around the area. By this way, your computer will start getting request from the outside environment increasing your data transfer. In this case some of your CPU cycles will be used by skype for doing some jobs unrelated to you. I am not sure about what is the amount of data transfer done by skype due to this super nodification of our computer.
Also when you are putting a conference with a couple of your friends, then the flow of traffic will be as shown in the following diagram. If you happen to be a powerful computer, then ultimately you will be come the A and start transferring data between your friend B and C. This will double the data transfer of yours.
It happened that skype occupied my port 80 also. By this way, if you are running apache or some thing on this port for some other purpose that will become inaccessible. This happens mostly when you have the automatic sign in option enabled in skype.
By default the voice calls needs more bytes for the voice data transfer. Please make sure that you are in an appropriate broadband plan before you choose to use voice calls.
