The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.
I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock beside the Grand Canyon. The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe. Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:
- How did he climb that rock?
- Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe?
- How will he get back?
This is the point of no return. After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes. At that point he had the full attention of the crowd. After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock. We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer. He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand. Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem. He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away. At that moment I take this shot:
He pushes his body against the rock. He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away....
Moral: "Impossible is Nothing". Life is a game. Winner takes all...

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 | | 0 comments |Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who used to develop programs on his Pentium machine, sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used to earn his bread by selling those programs in the Sunday market.
One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe), he started praying to the River Goddess.
The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.
As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."
She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"
Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."
The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own?”
The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM!!!” So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!
Moral: Be up-to-date with technology trends.
FM Radio through the Net
Friday, July 06, 2007 | Tagged: FM Radio, Fun, Indian Music, Music, Online Radio, Radio | 3 comments |A li'l birdie (in fact several li'l birdies) tells me that people in Hyderabad can now listen to the popular FM Radio Channels like Radio Mirchi, Radio City, S FM, Big FM & Rainbow FM via the internet!!!
Some kind soul is taking a lot of pains to re-broadcast these radio channels over the net. Peace be upon him :-)
But please be sure that you have a blazing fast internet connection - broadband connections of 128 kbps speeds or greater will be better. If you do have such a speed connection, then head over to VoiceVibes and choose your favorite stations!!!
Enjoyyy......
