Recently i bought Sony Cybershot DSC-H2.
Here are some pics first and then some FAQ’s (my thoughts/experience)…
Pic 1: Looks 10/10
Pic 2: Controls – Good enough
FAQ’s
1. It’s a Monster – both Looks wise and Performance wise. Very bulky – but yes, it has a substantial existence in ur hand.
2. Performance wise – awesome. I am not a expert in photography – so no technical stuff here. But performance what i have gauged in very dim light or total darkness is superb. Takes time to capture and process in ‘night mode’ + flash but pictures are of very high quality.
3. Decision to buy H2 – was a tough one. Actually the only thing against this camera (if u consider this as a disadvantage) is that its quite bulky, u have to think twice to take it to every place. But thats a different issue altogether. Then the disadvantage is not of the camera but of the mind perhaps….
4. Other choices i considered after making the final choice – Nikon S5, Canon Powershot S3IS, Sony DSC H5.
5. It cost me a substantial amount of money – but then every investment cost something. Did i say Investment – or Accessory – again depends on ur mind…
As they say – ‘Free your mind, Neo’

It has been (finally???) decided that Pluto is no longer a ‘planet’. Planets have been divided into 2 categories: Classical Planets (8) and Dwarf Planets (3..and counting).
Decision to boot out Pluto from the Planet’s category has met with stiff resistance from kids, school teachers and even from renowned ppl in the scientific community.
It took 10 days and voting at last in the recent meet of International Astronomical Union(IAU) to strip off the pluto from its planet’s tag.
If u ask me, Am I Pluto Planet Pro, or Pluto Dwarf Planet Pro, i wud say “How does it matter??”. Pluto by any name is an icy round object.
That in turn gives rise to another question. Am I ” Chetandeep”? Had i been given any other name, i wud have been the same (minus the astro and numero aspects). Even today, if my name is Chetandeep, is the “life force/soul” inside me is referred to by the name “Chetandeep”. Silly questions?? Right…
Regarding Pluto, As somebody said…
“”"Everyone agrees that there’s a round object out in space that we call “Pluto.” Nothing whatsoever about Pluto will change if it gets put on a “KBO” list instead of a “planet” list, just as nothing about tomatoes changed when we realized they should be on the “fruit” list instead of the “vegetable” list. Nor would it matter if we called it “Cindy.”
It is what it is, and it will be just fine no matter what we think of it.”"”

I am sure u must have listened to “Nirgun Raakh Liya” – A Shabad sung by Bollywood’s Akshay Kumar.
It’s melodious, soothing and giving peace to mind.
If u havent yet listened to it, or need to download it, plz download the same from here
For the curious, the details and meaning of the shabad are as follows:
Shabad: Nirgun Raakh Liya Santan Ka Sadka
Source: Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Written by: Guru Arjan Dev Ji (Fifth Guru Of Sikhs, A.D. 1563 -1606)
English Translation of the shabad:
“”I am unworthy, but He has saved me, for the sake of the Saints.
The True Guru has covered by faults; I am such a sinner.
God has covered for me; He is the Giver of the soul, life and peace.
My Lord and Master is Eternal and Unchanging, Ever-present; He is the Perfect Creator, the Architect of Destiny.
Your Praise cannot be described; who can say where You are?
Slave Nanak is a sacrifice to the one who blesses him with the Lord’s Name, even for an instant.”"

Google has indeed changed our lives. For everything we need to know, there’s Google. Google has redefined the enterprises are run. It has innovated breaking the thought barriers. Google is cool, it’s compulsive. From Search to Gmail to Google Sketches to moon.google.com,it has been wonderful.
Thanx Google for the way you have redefined our thinking, our present and our futures.
