அந்த அம்மையார் யார் ?
மதுரை மங்கம்மாள் சத்திரத்தில்
தங்கிய முதல்வரின் அன்னை சிவகாமி அம்மாள்
ஒரு நாள் மதுரை ராணி மங்கம்மாள் சத்திரத்தில் ஒரு வயதான பெரியம்மாள் சாதாரண வெள்ளைச் சேலையைக் கட்டிக் கொண்டு சத்திரத்தின் குழாயைத் திறந்து முகம், கை,கால்களைக் கழுவிக் கொண்டிருந்தார். அந்த அம்மையார் கழுத்திலே தங்கச் சங்கிலிகள் தொங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கவில்லை.காதில் மட்டும் ஏதோ ஒரு வகையான பழங்கால நகையொன்று தொங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்தது.அழுக்கடைந்த கோலத்தில் தம் மரியாதையைக் காக்க ஆடம்பரமில்லாமல் அடக்க ஒடுக்கமாகத் தென்பட்டார்கள் அந்த வயதான பெரியம்மாள்.
அப்போது அங்கு வந்த சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினர் ஒருவர், அந்த அம்மாளிடம் விரைந்து சென்று, “அம்மா, எப்போது வந்தீர்கள்? எங்கே தங்கி இருக்கின்றீர்கள்? எங்கே போகவேண்டும்?” என்ற கேள்விகளை மிக ஆர்வத்தோடு கேட்டார்.
இப்போது தான் விருதுநகரிலிருந்து வந்தோம்! சத்திரத்திலே தங்கி இருக்கிறோம்.மீனாட்சி அம்மன் கோவிலுக்கு போகவேண்டும்” என்றார்கள் அந்த அம்மையார்.
“டாக்ஸிக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்கிறேன் அம்மா” என்றார் அந்த எம். எல். ஏ
“வேண்டாம் தம்பி! நாங்கள் நாலைந்து பேர் வந்திருக்கிறோம்.நடந்தே கோவிலுக்கு போகிறோம்.நான் யாரென்று யாரிடமும் சொல்லாதீர்கள் தம்பி!” என்று மிகவும் நயமாக கேட்டுக் கொண்டார்கள்.
அங்கே கூடியிருந்த ஒரு சிலர் அந்த எம்.எல்.ஏ யிடம் அந்த பெரியம்மா யார் என்று வினவினர்.முதலில் சொல்ல மறுத்த அவர் , அழுத்திக் கேட்டு தொந்தரவு செய்த காரணத்தினால், காமராஜரின் தாயார் என்றார். அங்கு கூடியிருந்தவர்கள் அனைவரும் திகைத்து நின்றனர்.
“ஒரு மாகாணத்தின் முதன் மந்திரியின் தாயாரா இப்படி இருக்கிறார்? எங்களுக்கு ஆச்சரியமாக இருக்கிறது!”
“ஒரு மாகாணத்தின் முதன்மந்திரியின் தாயாரா, சாதாரண நபரைப் போல சத்திரத்தில் தங்கி இருக்கின்றார்கள்?”
இதுவல்லவா ஜனநாயகத்தின் சிகரமான நாடு!” என்று அங்கு கூடியிருந்தவர்கள் ஆச்சரியப்பட்டுக் கொண்டனர்.

Trai has extended time line for implementation of new TV subscribing model to 1st Febraury 2019
Press release stated
“In order to facilitate all the service providers to migrate their
subscribers from old to new framework so that no inconvenience is caused
to the subscribers, the Authority has issued a schedule of activities
containing inter-alia as under:
• All existing packs/plans/bouquets to the subscribers will continue
uninterrupted till 31st January 2019.
• No service provider to disconnect any signal/feed MSO/ LCO/ subscriber till 31st January 2019.to any
• DPOs to devise their own mechanism to reach out to all the subscribers
and seek options from subscribers.
• DPOs to migrate all the subscribers to new framework w.e.f. 1st
February 2019 as per options exercised by them. according to TRAI information what will be MRP of eachBouquests and channel price..
BARC data says 50% viewers watch not more than 30 channels but they are sold a bundled pack of 300 channels, which cost between Rs 250 and Rs 450 depending on whether it is a cable connection or DTH service.
After the new tariff order issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) comes into play , consumers will be able to select and pay for the channels they want to watch. They will have to pay a minimum of Rs 130 to watch 100 free-to-air channels and can individually select pay channels. Simply put, the consumer will get the freedom to ration the channels every month.
What is MAX PAIN ?
Maxpain Explained..
It’s a well known fact that most options trading volume is made up of hedged positions from large institutions. Hedge funds, prop funds, FII’s, DII’s, pension funds – they all hedge their large positions using options and make up most options trading volume.
Max pain theory stems from the idea that large institutions will attempt to move the Underlying to a certain price in order to maximize their profits.
So, order to get to Max Pain, institutions will move the underlying towards a strike price wherein they can get the maximum number of contracts (measured through Open Interest) that do not expire ITM.
It essentially involves a fairly simple maximization equation wherein there is a “Max Pain” price based on the Open Interest values of all Options contract. But the bottom line is that these large funds are trying to move the Underlying towards a price wherein the maximum number of Open contracts expire worthless. This causes the max pain to Options buyers and the max profit for Options sellers.

about Ancient vedas , Maths, and science!
Sun’s diameter is 108 times that of the earth.
The distance between earth and moon is 108 times the diameter of the moon.. The distance between the Earth and Sun is 108 times the diameter of the Sun .
Distance between earth and sun is 149 900 000 kms
Diameter of sun 1390 000 kms
Distance from earth to moon 381 000 kms
Diameter of moon 3499 kms
Diametr of earth 12798 kms
The Bhagavad Purana Canto 5, verse 2 says “The sun globe, which is a source of heat, has a width (vistaratah) of 10,000 yojanas. The moon has a width of 25 yojanas”
1 Yojana is 140 kms ( this distance is modern linear NOT the energy spiral time/ distance path which is mentioned in all our Puranas ). In reality everything on this cosmos from Macro to Micro is spiral energy .
In linear time Prakritti (manifest creation) came forth from the Purusha (the absolute beyond anything created). It is a point from which all came into being. In nonlinear time, this point is always present where
the ‘nothing’ and the ‘something’ connect beyond words. This space is 108.

When you look at the Sun and the Moon from earth they are perceived as the SAME size, this same size appears because of their distance and diameters.
The 108 division is the coming together of Purusha and Prakriti. It is the vibration of the Purusha and Prakriti that has put us into existence.
In Ayurveda there are a 108 marmas in the body. They are points where consciousness impinges the body that can heal or kill a living being.
They are vital points where consciousness connects to the body, where Purusha (consciousness) is brought into Prakriti (body) to give life to the living being. When we recite Sanskrit Mantras 108 times it acts as a Kavach (protection) to each Marma.
The 108 intersections on the Sri Yantra invoke the cosmic balance of Purusha and Prakriti and the primordial ability of the seer Maharishi to see both clearly.
Nine is connected to Ketu, the moksa Karaka (liberation)
In Sri Yantra there are 9 interlacing triangles, 5 point downwards and 4 point upwards. The great pyramidTo activate the third eye of Shiva, or to perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland ( soul ) and the
pituitary glands ( body ) must vibrate in resonance to create a field. This is represented by Samudra
manthan in Hindu mythology.
The pineal gland produces AMRIT Pinoline, ( 6methoxytetradydrobeta carboline, or 6MeOTHBC ) .
Pinoline also resonates with the very pulse of life 7.83 Hertz, the pulse the DNA uses to replicate, and
which has been measured to be emitted from the brains and hands of all successful healers, regardless of
belief or faith..
You cant observe the quantum world without your Pineal gland the other 5 senses have too narrow
bandwidths. Quantum physics has showed the ancient Indian Yogis were NOT mere dreamers of cosmic
consciousness, where our bodies, our brain and its mind, as inextricably joined with other matter and the
mega dipole of universe .
There is indeed a connection between consciousness and tangled state quantum phenomena Indian Vedic
maharishis had the inherent ability to go on either side of the narrow band of five human senses.
THEY COULD TRANSCEND THE SENSES AND LIMITATION OF SPACETIME.
Pyramid of Cheops Egypt has a base angle 51 deg 49 minutes like the 10000 year old Sri Yantra large pyramid, showing exactly the same relationship between pi and phi .
The ratio of the hypotenuse to half the base is phi, the Golden Ratio or ‘divine proportion’, given by (1 + squareroot 5)/2 (its value to five decimal places is 1.61803). It is a sure indication that the Pharaoh’s architects were NOT from Egypt.
The 3 lines intersect at 54 points ( number of sanskrit alphabets ) with shiva and shakti qualities making the magic number 108..
Alexander the Great , when he came to India in 326 BC, had
talked about Indian noblemen wearing Navratna rings and the women wearing Navratna lockets. Navratna
literally means 9 gems.
Numerologically, nine is a very special number, it always returns to itself. Look how it behaves with other
numbers:
9 x 1 = 9
9 x 2 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9
9 x 3 = 27, 2 + 7 = 9
9 x 4 = 36, 3 + 6 = 9
9 x 5 = 45, 4 + 5 = 9
9 x 6 = 54, 5 + 4 = 9
9 x 7 = 63, 6 + 3 = 9
9 x 8 = 72, 7 + 2 = 9
9 x 9 = 81, 8 + 1 = 9
9 x 10=90, 9 + 0 = 9
9 x 11=99, 9 + 9 = 18, 1 + 8 = 9
9 x 12 = 108
108 is the numerical equivalent of Hindu King Mantra OM , in sync with the rhythms of time and space
and represents perfect totality. A rudraksha mala woen by an ancinent maharishi had 108 beads .
When the ocean of milk ( Akash Ganga milky way of the cosmos ) was churned in the beginning of time,
it could only be done with the working unity of the positive and negative cosmic forces devas (gods) and
asuras (demons).
Opposing forces Tamas and Rajas are connected through consciousness. The middle prong of Shiva’s
trident is Sattwa. It is about quantum possibility vortex vibrations, between two poles. This forms the basis
of Dvaita Hinduism.

India after 50 years war with China !
“I remember many a time when our senior generals came to us, and wrote to the defence ministry saying that they wanted certain things… If we had had foresight, known exactly what would happen, we would have done something else… what India has learnt from the Chinese invasion is that in the world of today there is no place for weak nations… We have been living in an unreal world of our own creation.”
The statement was made by then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Rajya Sabha, in 1963, after India’s humiliating defeat at the hands of China. It is an eye opening statement from a leader who always viewed international politics from his own utopian prism.
The defeat in the 1962 border war made him realise that there is indeed no place for weak nations in the world politics.
“In the political and diplomatic fields too, significant changes came through the 1962 episode, bringing more realism,” notes the official Indian history of the border war between India and China.
The India-China war was an eye-opener for India. But even after 50 years, the people of India are not aware of the circumstances and reasons that led to India’s defeat.
It is not China’s betrayal that led to India’s defeat..From 1960 itself various military inputs suggest unusual Chinese military in the northern NEFA border. It is Nehru’s belief, and Menon’s arrogance, coupled with his crony general’s tactical mistake,and Indian political leadership decision not to use Indian Air force led to these bloodshed.
4000 officers and solders perished and for 50 years we constantly refused to acknowledge their sacrifices,
Last moments of 4th Rajput
Lagyala Gompa, the last monastery is located on a high feature overlooking the
Morshing Valley as well as the route Lt Col Bramhanand Avasthywas taking. There was a plateau just
before it made its steep climb to the monastery. It was an ideal killing field.
Unfortunately a 500 strong Chinese unit had already moved in behind and one
group was waiting in ambush at Lagyala Gompa. As Avasthy and his approached
the Gompa they came under heavy fire from the Chinese. Avasthy and his men
hit back. They could have probably chosen to fall back and look for another way
around but decided to fight the Chinese. Although lacking heavy firepower
Avasthy launched a 2 pronged counter attack. The battle was fierce and the
Chinese annoyed by the casualties they were taking tried to isolate Avasthy and
cut him off. But Avasthy’s men surrounded their gallant leader and fought to the
bitter end. Finally it came down to hand to hand combat and after a few hours the
Chinese prevailed. The battlefield was a ghastly sight. Over 200 Chinese bodies
and 126 Indian bodies littered the area. Every Indian was killed or wounded ie
100 percent casualties. Among them were Avasthy and his fellow officers. A
shepherd boy who later became the Head Lama of the monastery is the only
witness to this heroic episode. The Chinese dug a mass grave for the Indians and
left a flattened ration tin with the names of the officers. After the ceasefire the
bodies were retrieved. Avasthy’s body was found with a blood soaked letter to his
wife.
A company led by Major KPP Nair some how find this mas grave and identifies the corpes.
It is an irony that the war started and ended with Rajput battalions bearing the
brunt of Chinese attacks. In Lt Col Bramhanand Avasthy the Regiment and the
Indian Army lost one of its finest officers.

Kamaraj-The tale of King maker
In Virudhu patti the modern day Virudhunager Kumarasamy – Sivakami Ammal gave birth a male child in 15th July of 1903. they gave a female name’ kamatchi’ than after everyone calling him ‘Raja’ (King) combined with he was called as ‘kamaraja’ His School life is very short, after joining Khastriya Vidya sala”(present KVS) he had to left his school as sorrow struck consequewntly as both his Grand father and father died, leaving the entire family in the hands of young boy ‘kamaraja’
He joined as an apprentice in his maternal uncle Karuppiah’s cloth shop after dropping out of school.But his mind was not on business, attracted by Gandhi’s National Movement,he would slip out from the shop to join processions and attend public meetings addressed by orators like Dr. Varadarajulu Naidu. His relatives frowned upon Kamaraj ‘s budding interest in politics. They sent him to Thiruvananthapuram to work at another uncle’s timer shop.
At the age of 16, Kamaraj enrolled himself as full-time worker of the Congress Party. He invited speakers, organized meetings and collected funds for the party. He also participated in the march to Vedaranyam led by C. Rajagopalachari as part of the Salt Satyagraha of March 1930.
Kamaraj was arrested and sent to Alipore Jail in Calcutta for two years. He was 27 at the time of his arrest and was released in 1931 following the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. Kamaraj was implicated in the Virudhunagar bomb case two years later. Dr. Varadarajulu Naidu and George Joseph argued on Kamaraj’s behalf and proved the charges to be baseless. Kamaraj was arrested again in 1940 and sent toVellore Central Prison while he was on his way to Wardha to get Gandhiji’s approval for a list of satyagrahis.
On 13 April 1954, K. Kamaraj became the Chief Minister of Madras Province. To everyone’s surprise, Kamaraj nominated C. Subramaniam and M. Bhakthavatsalam, who had contested his leadership, to the newly formed cabinet.
Education
Kamaraj removed the family vocation based Hereditary Education Policyintroduced by Rajaji. He reopened the 6000 schools closed by previous government for financial reasons and also added 12000 more schools. The State made immense strides in education and trade. New schools were opened, so that poor rural students were to walk no more than 3 miles to their nearest school. Better facilities were added to existing ones. No village remained without a primary school and no panchayat without a high school. Kamaraj strove to eradicate illiteracy by introducing free and compulsory education up to the eleventh standard. He introduced the Mid-day Meal Scheme to provide at least one meal per day to the lakhs of poor school children (first time in the whole world). He introduced free school uniforms to weed out caste, creed and class distinctions among young minds.
During British regime the education was only 7 percent. But in Kamaraj’s period it was 37% . During Rajaji’s period there were 12000 schools in the state. Whereas it was 27000 in the period of Kamaraj. Apart from increasing number of schools, steps were taken to improve standard of education. To improve the standards number of working day were increased from 180 to 200. Unnecessary holidays were reduced. Syllabus were prepared to give opportunity to various abilities.
During his period IIT Madras was started.
Agriculture
Major irrigation schemes were planned in Kamaraj’s period . Lower Bhavani, Mani Muthuar , Cauvery Delta ,Aarani River , Vaigai Dam ,Amravathi , Sathanur ,Krishnagiri , Pullambadi ,Parambikulam and NeyyaruDams were among them . The Lower Bhavani Dam in Coimbatore district was constructed with an expenditure of Rs 10/- Crores. 2,07,000 acres of land are under cultivation.
45,000 acres of land are benefited through Mettur canal of Salem. Another scheme was Krishnagiri in the same district. Vaigai , Sathanur facilitate to cultivate thousands of acres of lands in Madurai and North Arcot districts respectively. Rs 30 crores were planned to spend for Parambikulam River scheme in Kamaraj’s period. This has helped for the development of Coimbatore district in agriculture field.
Number of dams were constructed under his rule are
- Manimuthar Dam,
- Vaikai Dam.
- Aliyar Dam.
- Sathanur Dam.
- Krishnagiri Dam.
.Industrial Development
Industries with huge investments in crores of Rupees were started in his period. Neyveli Lignite Scheme, Raw photo film industry at Nilgri, Surgical instruments factory at Guindy, Sugar factories , Bi-Carbonates factories, Cement factories, Railway Coach factory at Perambur, Mettur paper industry were started in the period of Kamaraj. These are the back-bone for the development of the nation.
Other industries which were started his period are
- BHEL, Trichy.
- Neyveli Lignite Corporation.
- MANALI Refinary Ltd.
Many schemes were started to generate electicity like Guntha hydro power station, Ooty and Neyveli thermal power station. During his period, Tamil Nadu was developing in all fronts.
Kamaraj remained Chief Minister for three consecutive terms, winning elections in1957 and 1962. Kamaraj noticed that the Congress party was slowly losing its vigor. He came up with a plan which was called the “Kamaraj Plan“.
On 2 October 1963, he resigned from the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Post. He proposed that all senior Congress leaders should resign from their posts and devote all their energy to the re-vitalization of the Congress.
Well impressed by the achievements and acumen of Kamraj, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru felt that his services were needed more at the national level. In a swift move he brought Kamaraj to Delhi as the President of the Indian National Congress. Nehru realised that if he had wide learning and vision, Kamaraj possessed enormous common sense and pragmatism.
Kamaraj gave a simple advice to his ministers, “Face the problem. Don’t evade it. Find a solution, however small. People will be satisfied if you do something.” Followed by him a number of Central and State ministers likeLal Bahadur Shastri, Jagjivan Ram, Satyendra Narayan Sinha, Morarji Desaiand S.K. Patil followed suit and resigned from their posts. In 1964, Kamaraj was elected ‘Congress President’ and he successfully navigated the party and the nation through the stormy years following Nehru’s death. Kamaraj’s political maturity came in full view when Nehru died in 1964. How he settled the succession issue for the Prime Ministership was amply proved by his choice of Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi in succession
Though he is a national leader he never be a family man. whenever his mother argued for his marriage, After independence i will get married” So when after independence, his mother reminded him, he told her.’ mother don’t talk such matter.. i am old now.. why did you want to ruin another woman’s life”
When Kamraj was a Chief ministerhis mother requested him to provided a handpumb’ borewell, near her house, as she is old and not able to fetch water from the ‘ teppam ‘(TANK). immediately kamarajar roared like a lion’ Are you mad? because being chief minister doesnot mean i have to spend public money for the family…there are crores people who are fetching water even miles away..
his anger at his motherm made not to visit his house during the tenure of chief ministership
Once over Virudhunagar Prime Minister Jawaharlal went in an open car. A flood of people on both sides of the road! when he noticed a old woman was standing and watchin kamarajar, and kamarajar is avoiding her glance. on seeing he inquired with theMinister of Education C.Subramaniam . He told the lady was kamarajar’s Mother . Nehru jumped from the car and went over Sivagami , enquire about her health , When he asked what she want,’ please be my guest for this day’. kamarajar objected about delaying of party programme. But Nehru overruled him,spent few minutes with kamarajar’s Mother. he was surprised to learn that it was years that kamarajar visited his Mother and eaten there.
When kamarajar died he left with a paiseless just owned a pair of chappels dozen of Books, his family was in poor condition even the house was taken by the state..He live like a hermit, died as a simple man..
When emergency was declared, he was the one leader that Indira Gandhi refused to arrest. But it hurt him very bad when national leaders were put behind bars, and civil liberty suspended..tears flowed from him,’ This is going to be worse’
he never recover from that shock It was on the birth Day of Gandhi, another ‘KALA GANDHI” as he was famously called for breathed his last..

My precise! Fear not the Lion!
In Linux world every distro realease is like a Divali! for the ubuntu fan it come to April and october for every year..But after unity ‘s introduction there is a stunned silence, several developers and fans are now turning to mint only..I my self cann’t use Ubuntu, but curiousty kill the crow! so i took the final plung… before hand I had to say something about ubuntu’s new 12.04 Precise Pangolin
It has a new quick search feature called the HUD, some new privacy settings, a few tweaks to the Unity interface, and more.
This release is another “Long Term Support” release, meaning Canonical will support it for longer than other versions—five years
Have you ever been in a situation where you’re using a program, and want to do something specific that you know is in the menus, but you just don’t know where? The new HUD solves that problem. Just hit Alt, and a search bar will pop up in the upper left-hand corner of your screen. From there you can type in what you’re looking for, and it will return any menu items that match your queris.
Over time, it also learns from your previous choices to make the search more and more accurate
the “Appearance” panel in the software’s system settings lets you more easily configure some properties of Unity
power savings, RC6–the technology that allows GPUs to go into a very low power consumption state when the GPU is idle–is now enabled by default for Sandy Bridge systems. The result can be improvements of between 40 and 60 percent in power usage under idle loads,
Don’t like Unity?
I dunno why, I also used to hate unity too. But Unity is getting better
and if you still don’t want unity, you can google on Cinnamon, Gnome 2 or Gnome shell to replace unity with it.
like this http://www.noobslab.com/2012/01/install-cinnamon-12-with-new-features.html
also I’m getting tired of people comparing Ubuntu with linux Mint.
even if Linux mint best Ubuntu, the linux community would go no where like the last 10/15 years
While Ubuntu is the only Linux Distro that is going out of the PC Box
whole the way to Tablets, TV and Mobile
and ask yourself, what has Mint done?
Alternatively, the good folks at Cairo Dock can help us with just adding a function of window titles / names in their Dock in ‘Panel view’. Problem solved. Best of both worlds, Classic & Unity!
Ofcourse I lavishing the praise but, lets us come to the practical user part
Installed in my Lenova Thinkpad X120E, which already housed Win 7,pear Linux and Linux Mint 12.
Shocked to see ‘Grub rescue> message on reboot.. In my assembed AMD box which housed the same Oses, also same problem..In both cases I manually installed ‘pRECISE’ on Pear Linux place. in my Thinkpad case,using the Ubuntu Cd in the Live mode, reinstalled the grub..
In my Desktop simply deleted the failed ubuntu partition again recreated it, installed ubuntu..This is strange.. AFTER 9.04 i never seen this message ‘grub rescue’ in every Linux installation,in my Desktop as well as my friends laptops..
After experimenting with unity’s HUD, my next shock was, network manager not recognising my BSNL ;Capitel EVDO modem…until 11.10 ubuntu work fne . After finding the vendor id and product id from ‘lsusb ‘ command in Terminal I edit the etc/modules file and wrote it, so I need not retyping the same..Now EVDO is fine..Now I know ehy ‘Linux Mint is now on top of DW..
One great improvement that Precise has over other distributions,(Including mint) is it has a great power saving which is a life saver for my Thinkpad x102e.. another great features is without installing the any additional propritary ATI drivers it work great.. still to evolvate before finally love it or hate it..
‘Nixie’ -the Lady Gaga of Linux!
It may infuriated Traditional Linux purist..Because, Linux and sex never match also it is widely thought female gender don’t acknowledged, they are Linux users..because no body wanted to be called to be a ‘geek’, which is predominantly associated with ‘Male’ gender dominated world..
But my view changed drastically when a years agosearching for a linux tutorials, ‘Nixie’ surfaced dramatically..First i may misunderstood her post.. because ‘you could not get away by saying’ ubuntu sucks’ and publishing in youtube, .. but she did it.. than get away unscratched.. That is amazing..Her post generated more than 4,50,000 viewer for the title’Ubuntu themes’..average 1 lakh people are viewing her post.. that is amazing,..
Some of her titles are , ‘ Go for open source or Go home”
‘how to cure Windows virus with ubuntu linux?
She is actually a game blogger, but turn her attention to Linux particularly Ubuntu that is all..
However, all her viewers has agreed on one single point without reservation..’She is too sexy.. and distract the viewers about what she is saying’
Many of the commenter are very much making bad comments about her figures instead of Linux.. however there are some genuine Users who think she explained the hard coded linux in very Less sentence.. This is a victory for her.. She also admit this fact, Even if 10% of the viewers are converted to Linux, it is enough for me..
When asking about her dress,
I wear things that I like – that I think look good, and that I feel comfortable in. If others like it too I find that very flattering, but it isn’t why I wear it.
She is avid game enthusist but now give some of her free time about Linux
I have recently discovered the joys of Linux as an operating system, and created a little part of my site devoted to sharing my experiences with others; perhaps helping them avoid the same pitfalls I’ve made.
she has accomplished what Richard Stqallmen and Linus could not do in their 20 years, she is attracting attention for Linux in online and social network…
She is what lady GAGA to Music to linux at now.. I wish RMS should be ‘Nixie- the Linux Doll”
