{June 19, 2007}   Coffe or Cup!!

A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation
soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: “If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups… Then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of Life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!.”

The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.”

Live simply.

Love generously.
Care deeply.

{June 3, 2007}   NFS “PRO STREET”

Electronic Arts (EA) has reportedly announced the latest addition to its blockbuster ‘Need For Speed’ (NFS) series, “NFS ProStreet”.
NFS “PRO STREET”

“NFS ProStreet” promises a groundbreaking NFS experience, where the player gets to compete head-to-head with the best street racers in a multitude of racing showdowns.

According to Larry LaPierre, Executive Producer of the game, “NFS ProStreet accelerates street racing culture by providing the ultimate stage for the pursuit of street racing supremacy. This is a game about building the ultimate performance-tuned battle machine, taking it to multi-disciplinary showdowns all over the world, and pitting players’ skills and reputation against the very best street racers.”

Developed by EA Black Box, “NFS ProStreet” claims to have perfect precision, and detailed photo-realistic graphics, effectively transporting players to the center of the action.

Apart from all this, there is another interesting change in the form of ‘Autosculpt’ technology, which allows players to customize not only the appearance of their car, but also it’s performance. Besides, “NFS ProStreet” also features an online mode, and an aggressive and skilled artificial intelligence (AI) system.

Meanwhile, “NFS ProStreet” which is slated to ship at the end of this year, will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, PS2, PSP, Wii, Nintendo DS, PC, and the mobile.
