Tweet Less, Kiss More......

Why do we have to check our e-mail
so many times a day, or keep our
ears constantly attached to our
cellphones? When you watch the
news on cable television, there are
often additional stories being
scrolled across the bottom of the
screen, stock market results blinking
on the right of the screen, and
promos for upcoming features on
the left. These extras often block
significant parts of the main item
we're supposed to be watching.
Enough already with this
hyperactive behaviour, this techno-
tyranny and non-stop freneticism.
We need to slow down and take a
deep breath.

I'm not opposed to the remarkable
technological advances of the past
several years. I don't want to go
back to typewriters and carbon
paper and yellowing clips from the
newspaper morgue. I just think that
we should treat technology like any
other tool. We should control it,
bending it to our human purposes.

Let's put down at least some of
these gadgets and spend a little
time just being ourselves. One of the
essential problems of our society is
that we have a tendency, amid all
the craziness that surrounds us, to
lose sight of what is truly human in
ourselves, and that includes our own
individual needs those very special,
mostly non-material things that
would fulfil us, give meaning to our
lives, enlarge us, and enable us to
more easily embrace those around
us.

We need to reduce the speed limits
of our lives. We need to savour the
trip. Leave the cellphone at home
every once in a while. Try kissing
more and tweeting less. And stop
talking so much.

Listen.

Other people have something to say,
too. And when they don't, that
glorious silence that you hear will
have more to say to you than you
ever imagined. That is when you will
begin to hear your song.

That's when your best thoughts take hold, and
you become really you.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia - Car

^ The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coup and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.

^ The new model is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.

^The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the F430 - and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm.

^Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest software - F1 Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.

^Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.

^The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 2007.

I luv college life...

#Raggings,
#New friends,
#Sightseeing,
#Bunking classes,
#Following the latest trends,
#Hogging on canteen food and not paying the bill in time,
#Staring at the lecturer thinking about your latest crush,
#Passing comments at every one esp professors,
#Studying in the last minute,
#Having a competition with friends as to who will write maximum number of papers in the next sem,
#Finally clearing all the papers and feeling relieved,
#Crying on graduation day and having a feeling of losing some thing precious....
.... This is college life. Ever wondered what the best part of your life is? And always arrived at the same answer each time__
