The book was released on August 14th in a worldwide release.</p> <p> <br />So what's the great news… </p> <p>The cover image of the book, a novel is an image shot by me. The lotus candle was bought in Sri Lanka and gifted to Anu. And the photograph was made during a electricity less night in JP Nagar battling boredom, sweating buckets and swatting mosquitoes as well ( with the folded newspaper bundles - the days of no inverter and generators).</p> <p> <br />Penguin books, USA found this image as a compelling image to complement the great novel by Lan Cao.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><a title="Cover Image - Penguin by mM, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/minmaxmim/14791903607"><img alt="Cover Image - Penguin" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5568/14791903607_0dc5b86aa2_c.jpg" width="530" height="800" /></a></p> <p> <br />A cover image of a novel by a great publisher - <strong>tick</strong>. </p> <p>And yes find a mention on wikipedia as well – <strong>tick</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <p>Here is the image,</p> <p align="center"><a title="Cover Image - Penguin by mM, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/minmaxmim/14978444125"><img alt="Cover Image - Penguin" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3877/14978444125_a4a8fdd0e1.jpg" width="500" height="375" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p align="center"> <br /><a href="http://www.penguin.com/book/the-lotus-and-the-storm-by-lan-cao/9780670016921">http://www.penguin.com/book/the-lotus-and-the-storm-by-lan-cao/9780670016921</a> </p> <p align="center"><a title="Cover Image - Penguin by mM, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/minmaxmim/14978115002"><img alt="Cover Image - Penguin" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5559/14978115002_aceb5d099e.jpg" width="500" height="400" /></a></p> <p align="center"> <br /><a href="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FThe-Lotus-Storm-A-Novel%2Fdp%2F0670016926&h=bAQE6qZpz&enc=AZMIH9NFLa_p7qdMVa-xfhMqUgYmQU_zbuespUksp7OURWYuTgUfEBaE7qLwGJyheaRN2Cgf30fiFVWKSuQQ1smY9LgIT-tNkPf1J1gMPUCmXXeV1P-5DjTNtDZD_2LAtTcuBalvJb8ki83siuXsoGuZ&s=1">http://www.amazon.com/The-Lotus-Storm-A-Novel/dp/0670016926</a> </p> <p align="center"><a title="Cover Image - Penguin by mM, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/minmaxmim/14791856628"><img alt="Cover Image - Penguin" src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3844/14791856628_0bc8abf859.jpg" width="500" height="285" /></a></p> <p align="center"> <br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lotus_and_the_Storm">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lotus_and_the_Storm</a></p> <p align="center"><a title="Cover Image - Penguin by mM, on Flickr" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/minmaxmim/14978115172"><img alt="Cover Image - Penguin" src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5552/14978115172_a9fcfa160c.jpg" width="500" height="281" /></a></p> mMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07508114724104361877noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28935991.post-27349065787609284732014-04-28T16:15:00.001+05:302014-05-12T16:29:27.722+05:30(Updated) Wireless Movie Display, Google Chromecast and Media Servers (Updated)<p> </p> <p>Have always had the problem of wirelessly transferring video from my laptop to my TV. In the past have used wired cables and viola the laptop becomes a captive until the movie ends.</p> <p>Recently read about the Google Chromecast and had a chance to buy one, BTW it is available on Amazon India website - <a title="http://www.amazon.in/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00DR0PDNE/" href="http://www.amazon.in/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00DR0PDNE/">http://www.amazon.in/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00DR0PDNE/</a></p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/assets/common/images/chromecast/marquee-product.png" width="329" height="304" /></p> <p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" src="http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/assets/common/images/chromecast/chromecast-plugged.jpg" width="508" height="311" /></p> <p>Really loved the ease of setup via the laptop and the android phone. Easy to cast from the chrome browser and from apps such as youtube etc. </p> <p>Right now there aren’t options for screen mirroring, but with the SDK being open to all, guess it is a matter of time before we see some innovative cool games and apps being rolled out. </p> <p>Also for local media server I am running the Plex Media server and it is quite awesome - <a title="https://plex.tv/" href="https://plex.tv/">https://plex.tv/</a> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><img style="display: block;

They are awesome. </p> <p>Next I went to a concierge desk who asked for 900 Rupees to get this done, I decided to try it myself. </p> <p>I went to the RTO office, KR Puram and got the job done in less than 30 minutes. Several agents standing outside the RTO office demanded 900-1000 Rupees for the same. But I decided to do it myself and trust me the RTO office rocks, the helpdesk / reception on the ground floors guided me to the right department.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here are the papers you need to have</strong></p> <p>1) Recent Emission test copy</p> <p>2) Active Insurance copy</p> <p>3) Original RC Book / Card : This goes into the plastic pouch from 5.</p> <p>4) 100 RS receipt from the cash counter of the RTO: Cash counters close by 1:30 PM.</p> <p>5) Paper File + Plastic Pouch + Tag + Envelope with stamps : All available as a kit for about 30 Rupees in the stores next to the RTO. Also write your address on the envelope where you want to receive the papers.</p> <p>6) NOC letter from the bank</p> <p>7) 2 Copies of Form 35 : Duly signed by you.</p> <p> </p> <p>Give all these to the right department, they check validate sign the set, then they enter the application number in a big book and give you an acknowledgement sheet which contains details of all the papers that you have submitted.</p> <p> </p> <p>You are supposed to get one copy of the form 35 and the new RC book / card back in 30 days via the envelope you gave.</p> <p><strong>Total time at the RTO : 30 minutes</strong></p> <p><strong>Total cost : 150 RS</strong></p> <p>I never thought it would be so easy to get this done, but yes the RTO office and team rock. </p> mMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07508114724104361877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28935991.post-23432790029239417912014-01-03T22:14:00.001+05:302014-01-03T22:14:16.562+05:30Learn Kannada Easily<p>You want to learn to speak Kannada, here is the coolest website that helps a lot.</p> <p align="center"><strong>Website</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.kannadabaruthe.com/">http://www.kannadabaruthe.com/</a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Facebook</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/KannadaBaruthe">https://www.facebook.com/KannadaBaruthe</a></p> <p align="center"><strong>Android App</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kannadabaruthe&hl=en">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kannadabaruthe&hl=en</a></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6x3TOV2_12lRbbLLkIjXywAHvthbbvWgiNoAXviqX6nhyPfafwmXrOYZ-TCKhNFHe28i6Qv1lpS8yFllFphqR2mEKFz6FkSuVNy3ENXFTtjFAVKnjdob97bq3h54aj8rPY9Ri/s1600-h/Kannada%25255B3%25255D.png"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Kannada" border="0" alt="Kannada" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDc8PzpKl9WMuKNdIeSBufoun6OfZ-AHPMd_RXC96lVxx4B80TfrK6syeZC4Sxr6Zbw92ixAQCxyrO5qP16y8TRcmJe3VldgYYyWev1FAtOhOlCX0aWPpZvCeqAj7Pi9xK7iaC/?imgmax=800" width="331" height="297" /></a></p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="left">Happy Kannada learning times.</p> mMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07508114724104361877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28935991.post-13424866404320158392014-01-03T22:07:00.001+05:302014-01-03T22:07:46.955+05:30New Destination Alert – Kolli Hills<h4>Kolli Hills- A hidden hill station of South India</h4> <p><strong>Kolli Hills or Kolli Malai (Tamil: </strong><strong>கொல்லி</strong> <strong>மலை</strong><strong>)</strong> is a small mountain range located in central Tamil Nadu in Namakkal district of India.
