The path of life is not so smooth... [Selfwritten]

Life is not so smooth...
Rather it is a boulevard...with lots of stones.
One such rock in my life came yesterday.
That shook my heart terribly.
Yesterday in morning I had a sessional, my first sessional of 7th semester.
Two exams were there back to back.
So in the morning I was preparing for it..so was my roommate- Mohit.
Now the thing what I do not understand ever is why in the blue hell whatever I ever say to him sounds like a sarcastic taunt to him.
We have lived for about past 3 years now.
It's only 2 months left for every thing...
This is a point that every body is settled with their lives..& there is no room that is easily available here.
The rent is quiet high...paid by us both, dividedly.
Now what happened yesterday is while I was studying outside room, & I just entered the room, I saw Mohit on my bed with his feet on my pillow.
Keeping feet on pillow was a bit wrong for me so I asked, normally -
"Mohit par hata le (Mohit remove your feet)"
Mohit- Hata lia! (Just adjusted the feet a few inches away, not changed his position or even removed the pillow)
My second line-
"Abbe hata le par" (Plain & loud tone, not at all harsh)
Mohit- Hata to hai! (Sitting same)
I thought not to extend it, said-
"Chal theek hai"
After a while I sitted on his bed... he said to keep a towel & sit.
I said let's move to our beds (ofcourse pillow thing was also the reason)
.
.
- No other talks -

He moved to college that day alone.
Both of our's exams were ruined.
& above all as usual he told his home all the story, adding that he is terribly frustrated & wanna end the life.
This is the enough big statement for any parent to be a hell lot of worried.
Leave what my image would have been now!
& his parents were willing to come there that time only...to get his room changed.
What even he was wanting I don't know from how long he was planning it.
Now at this point..all alone... I got terribly pissed off.
I was worried about living, my own hell bad image, & more over his parents worried .... that too because of me....for a lame reason!
There becomes some attachment too for the person that you've lived for three years!
I was really thinking if there is any God!
Cried that day 2 times.
Left all on the god.
I still have no clue what would happen...
May be I will live all alone, In this room only, with full rent by me!

Is the Length of an Email Address Limited? If Yes, What is the Maximum?

Yes, the maximum length of an email address is 320 characters.

Every email address is composed of two parts. The local part comes before the '@' sign, and the domain part follows it. In "user@example.com", the local part is "user", and the domain part is "example.com".

The

• local part must not exceed 64 characters and
• the domain part cannot be longer than 255 characters.

In sum, an email address can be 320 characters long at most. When you create an address, make sure your user name has less than 65 characters.

What the heck is Smishing?

You may have heard the phrase phishing, where scammers try to get personal information from you through electronic means such as email.

Smishing is very similar, the method of delivery however is through your cell phone. Spammers have started sending fraudulent cell phone text messages, trying to trick people into revealing personal information, financial account numbers, and passwords. The spammer usually tries to threaten the receipient with account cancelation or charges on their account if they do not comply.

Do not be fooled. Just like with email, if it doesn’t smell right, it probably is a scam. You should not respond to the sender. Do not call any telephone numbers provided in the text message - also don’t click on any links.

Do you want to make sure you don't miss any messages arriving in your Gmail account? Or do you just like the slick sheet that Gmail Notifier pops up when new mail arrives?

Anyway, here's how to add audible notification for your Gmail account or change the tune that's played.

Change the New Mail Sound for Gmail

To change the new mail sound in Gmail:

• Select Control Panel from the Windows Start menu.

Man behind the great mind! [Selfwritten]

Albert Einstein. When the name comes, you obviously recollect of the genius!
He is the name we are all familiar with. And also to the theory of relativity of Dr.Einstein, as well as the famous equation: E=mc2.
We all know much of Albert, & love him for his work too. Especially those fond of Science & Physics.
But least people know how the young Einstein struggled to prove his theory in the early days. The days when Newton's laws were thought to be absolute & perfect. And also people were orthodoxly studying Physics.
Albert was a born German. A Jew. But later he gave up his German nationality & became swizz. Particularly due to the miserable behavior & extreme tortures to the Jews by German Govt.
In the early days when the theory of relativity was just born & not yet published or brought to people, Albert had to struggle hard to let people believe him.
His early writings were not in English also he used his own set of symbols & not the conventional scientific figures. That was why general people could not perceive his ideas, yet so contradictory to newton, easily. He was believed to be anti god!
Sir Arthur Eddington. Heard his name?
People have almost long back forgotten him.
Arthur Stanley Eddington, (28 December 1882 – 22 November 1944) was a British astrophysicist of the early 20th century. The Eddington limit, the natural limit to the luminosity of stars, or the radiation generated by accretion onto a compact object, is named in his honor.
He was the man behind the popularity of Albert!
He translated Einstein's works in English. He was the first believer of Albert's theories. He pointed out the difference in the Mercury's orbit, which didn't followed Newton's laws. And that led Albert to relate his theory to the gravity & thus gave birth to the theory of relativity, a theory of everything!
Eddington wrote a number of articles which announced and explained Einstein's theory of general relativity to the English-speaking world. World War I severed many lines of scientific communication and new developments in German science were not well known in England. He also conducted an eclipse expedition in 1919 that provided one of the earliest confirmations of relativity, and he became known for his popular expositions and interpretations of the theory.
So we must not forget the man behind the great mind!

Gmail Nudges Past AOL Email In The U.S. To Take No. 3 Spot.

Outtake:

Good thing Gmail is out of beta. It is now the third largest Web mail service in the U.S. In July, Gmail nudged past AOL Email with 37 million unique visitors compared to 36.4 million for AOL, according to comScore estimates. That puts Gmail within sight of the No. 2 player, Windows Live Hotmail, which has 47 million unique visitors. After that there is a wide gulf separating Yahoo Mail and its 106 million monthly unique visitors.

The last time checked on Gmail’s progress was at the beginning of the year, when it seemed like it would still take at least two years for it to catch up to its nearest rivals. But so far this year, Gmail’s unique visitors grew 25 percent, while AOL’s declined 22 percent. Thus, the two crossed paths in July. (Hotmail grew only 8 percent during the same period, while Yahoo Mail increased unique visitors by a healthy 16 percent).

If Google wants Gmail to pass Hotmail quickly and gain the No. 2 spot, my suggestion is to keep pumping in new enhancements through Gmail...
