Kovai Kusumbu

Off to Marudhamalai! Today was a festival day, and a lot of rush. Best way to reach Marudhamalai - catch a bus from anywhere in the Kovai city to Vadavalli (maximum 4 rupees), from Vadavalli to Marudhamalai (3 rupees). Better if you climb up the hill. Will not take more than 30 minutes to climb the hill. WOW! Beautiful place. Will look better if you have lived in the Nawabi city of Lucknow for one year. Then, from the temple, I went to Government College. Nice place. I wanted to refer some books, but, little did I think that the Libraries are not open on Sundays. (IIML is a different story). 

Then, didnt know what to do in life. Went to a cinema (A dubbed version of some stupid Jet Li's movie). Atleast, that was better than a Chimbu's film. Then, off to some delicious Chettinad dishes. Aapam and Thengaai paal are becoming my favorite dishes here. (Is Krishna and Vijay reading this?) Ok... coming back to the topic of this post... Kovai kusumbu. For non-Tam people, Kusumbu means Nakkal... err... Nakkal means Kalaaikals... Well... Some Tam words have no equivalent peers in English. 

Kovai Kusumbu #1 
I boarded a bus. It was going though a bridge. 
I asked the conductor - 'Anne, Idhu yendha bridge anne?' 
He replied - 'Over Bridge' 
I - (Daaaaai) 'Adhu illane, idhu yenna bridge?' 
He - 'Oh! Railway thandavvalam mel pogara bridge' 
I - (OP... Podaaang) 'Anne, Idhu per yennane?' 
He - (Finally) 'Avinashi Road Bridge pa' 

Kovai Kusumbu #2 
The bus conductor was shouting earnestly at the top of his voice to the passengers to buy tickets. 
Our Nakkal nayagan (a 60 year old man) shouts to some one in the front - 'Appuuu' 
Person 2 - 'Yenna apppuu' 
Person 1 - 'Appu ticket vaangidu apppuuu... illaina conductor aayiram rupa fine poturuvaar apppuuu' 
Person 2 - 'Vaangiten appuuu' 
I couldnt control my laughter, after hearing such innocent tamil. 

I went to a Palmist, and showed my right hand (what else will u do? huh!). He said - 'Pengalaal ungalakku thontharavu. Court case police yelaam pogum... Vilagiye nilungal' (Problems due to girls... Stay away from them). Reminded me of Annamalai where Superstar Rajni is warned like this. Hopefully, I should be getting someone like Kushboo (like in the film). One more thing he said - 'Sanni nadakudhu pa... Bahdirama irundhunga'. 'You have good oratory skills. You van talk to all kinds of people. You have an excellent judgemental brain, about people, and you can read faces. and whatever you say, will happen. You have that Shloka shakthi. But, you will have a lot of enemies'. 

Appo... inime naan thaavani potta pengalai paaka mudiyaadha? Aiyoooooo.... Yenna Blogla pulamba vechutaangale! Aiyooo... :-(( *sob* *sob* Yen vidhi yenna ippadiyelaam aati padikuthe... Kovai jigudigalai sight adikaama yenna saamiyaar aakitaangale! Indha aniyaayatha keka yaarume illaiya? 21 vayasu vaalibana, Kovai maadhiri oru sooperaana orrla, thaniya, paatai adichu saamiyaar aakitaangapa... Heights of Kovai kusumbiness!

"Science" magazine Focus on nanotechnology applications - nano technology - Chemical industry

On nanotechnology expert Zhong-Lin Wang, the 2010 is excited about a breakthrough year is full of hope.
3 28, the United Kingdom "natural? Nanometer technology," reported his team's new results of two studies: high-voltage output of the nano-generators, the first time since the nanowire-based nano-drive system.
4 16, the U.S. "Science" magazine published review articles News Focus section, describes the waste energy into usable electricity generators nano. The article says: "the movement of energy into electrical energy that tiny device can drive the city, but they soon enough for handheld electronic devices and arrays of sensors can not see charging." Nano-generator concept
by Zhong-Lin Wang first proposed in 2006, after the U.S. "Science" magazine nano generator as a new area of research and development launch.
Zhong-Lin Wang Georgia Institute of Technology American University Professor Dong Shi, Distinguished Professor, CAS foreign academicians. In 2006, he proposed: "Nano-generator to improve the output voltage and power of the ultimate goal is to achieve self-drive-based nano-devices, that does not require external power or battery."
Zhong-Lin Wang's group developed the world's first nano generator. Now, he said, the field of nano-power development "has reached a critical moment … … I believe, by this momentum continues, in the near future, nano-generators will affect people's daily lives."
In the article, entitled "Nano Generators: waste energy drive with ultra-small electrical appliances," the article in the U.S. "Science" magazine describes the latest breakthroughs in the field of nano-generators of the three scientists:
Princeton University chemist Mai Maike? Karpin, his team developed can be embedded in the soft silicone pressure material (PZT) nano-ribbon generator, if embedded in clothing, this kind of micro-generation function of the energy generated by the body action into mobile power;
Georgia Institute of Technology physicist Zhong-Lin Wang and his research team invented zinc oxide nano-generators can output the highest voltage so far?? 2.4 volts, while the standard AA current output voltage is 1.5 volts, and the realization of the whole based nanowires self-driven nano-system;
University of California, Berkeley, team led by mechanical engineer Li-Wei Lin, who developed a sense of power with the pressure characteristics of long nano-fibers, such as woven into clothing, sports can also be transformed into electrical energy, to charge the phone.
Karpinski commended Zhong-Lin Wang in the article is to propose the concept of the vanguard of several nano-generators. In his view, Zhong-Lin Wang group developed high-output voltage of nano-generator is a great job.
The past 20 years, Na Mike scholars on the application of nano-materials synthesis in the ascendant, especially in nano-device research. Nano-devices with low power consumption and sensitivity, macro-devices do not have the advantage. Since 2000, Zhong-Lin Wang aware of the unique zinc oxide semiconductor materials, optical and biological properties, have synthesized ZnO nanobelts, nano-rings and nano-helix. However, these studies focused on nano-devices themselves, how to solve the nano-charging power supply device is a new problem.
Pressure material generally refers to the composition of a lead zirconate titanate thin films. Back in 1880, scientists discovered that the voltage acting on the pressure materials, will make its production strain; that is, the pressure Material can convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.
2006 early in the U.S. "Science" magazine paper, Zhong-Lin Wang made through a synthesis of nanowires piezoelectric material will be mechanical energy into electricity, and the first time the principle of nano-generators.

ICM 2010 opens in Hyderabad...

International Congress of Mathematicians ICM 2010 opens in Hyderabadicm logoon Thursday. President PratibhaPatil arrived to inaugurate the International Congress of Mathematicians, ICM 2010 at HICC. ICM 2010 will also be remembered for hosting the first ever International Congress of Women Mathematicians. Some 300 women are participating in the congress, breaking the old myth that women cant handle maths. For the first time in the history of the ICM, two sessions will be open to public, at the Global Peace Auditorium, Shanti Sarovar Campus, Gachibowli. On August 23, students from 60 schools will be listening to lecture by Bill Barton from University of Auckland and Gunter Ziegler from the Berlin Maths School. On August 24, Viswanathan Anand will play a game of chess with 40 mathematicians. Though the event is not open to public, it will underline the origin of chess in India.
