...... I dont think you & I are closely related. But if you are capable of trembling with indignation each time that an injustice is committed in the world - WE ARE COMRADES, And, - that is important. - Che Guevara http://www.che-lives.com/ No, I am not a communist however, I do believe in the power of alternate polity and non-conformism. When patterns are broken, new worlds emerge. - Tuli Kupferberg 23 August 2004 Why Google Is Not a Russian Company http://www.moscowtimes.ru/stories/2004/08/23/006.html Imagine that Google were a Russian company. This isn't as big a stretch as you might think, since one of Google's founders, Sergey Brin, is a native of Moscow. 17th August 2004 Quote of the week :-) "Girls wear such light-colored make-up. It looks very pale. What do you need it for? The color of Turkmen [women's skin] is white. That is the natural look. Therefore, don't use so much make-up. You should be careful in that." - Turkmen President Saparmurat Niyazov speaking on 11 August in a televised meeting with members of Turkmenistan's media, art, and cultural world. 17th August 2004 Poland, Hungary join outsourcing race http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/818170.cms 16th August 2004 Russian Firms See Energy Potential, Delegation Coming http://www.financialexpress.com/fe_full_story.phpcontent_id=66082 2 August 2004 Remembering the Tempest by Jakub Jedras For the first and possibly last time, veterans of the Warsaw Uprising celebrate a major anniversary. http://www.tol.cz/look/TOL/article.tplIdLanguage=1&IdPublication=4&NrIssue=75&NrSection=1&NrArticle=12582 26th July 2004 "There is no such thing as soft satire, just like there is no such thing as being a little bit pregnant." - Vladimir Neklyudov, producer of the parody show "Krasnaya strela," after learning that Russia's NTV was dropping the show as part of a major purge of its politically oriented programming. 26th July 2004 http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/790475.cms Siemens to up stake in Russian firm 16th July 2004 The 2nd Annual CSEE Public-Private Energy Meeting Liberalization & Security In New Energy Markets 20-21 September 2004, Sofia, Bulgaria www.energy.easteurolink.co.uk Places still available at this regional meeting between energy professionals and ministers to discuss the continuing implementation and impact of energy policies, strategies and investment to develop security of supply, liberalization of markets and the achievement of environmental targets. 25th June 2004 Bollywood comes to Tajikistan: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3834295.stm Guys check this out... how cool is this :-) 20 June 2004 Newsflash Latvia hold Germany in Euro 2004, Czech Republic defeat Holland to become the first team to reach the quarter finals of the Euro 2004 tournament. I believe that soccer aside, this goes on to illustrate the untapped, unparalleled talent and potential that lies in the nations of Eastern and Central Europe. It is just a matter of time before the countries of the former Soviet Union gain prominence they deserve. April 2004 A Documentary film by Dr Brian Williams - "Dostum. Afghanistan's Anti-Taliban Horsemen and the War on Terror." (Sadly I cannot put up the video here yet) Dr. Brian Williams shot much of the footage for the film himself in August 2003, during his trip from Kabul to Mazar i Sharif and Sheberghan, in northern Aghanistan, where he was able to spend 2 weeks with General Abdul Rashid Dostum. Dr. Williams has conducted extensive field research from Kazakhstan to Kosovo and is the author of "The Crimean Tatars. The Diaspora Experience and the Forging of a Nation," published by Brill in 2001.

Cheers Sairee --------------------------------- A Zen quote that puts life's little pursuits in perspective :-) "The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both." * If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings." - Dave Barry *Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant. - Horace *One of the nice things about problems is that a good many of them do not exist except in our imaginations. - Steve Allen *One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries. * Freedom - just another name for nothing left to lose? *I am an idealist. I don't know where I'm going but I'm on the way. - Carl Sandburg Now that you have survived this page so far, time for the final word from the GOD himself :-) The roads of excess lead to wisdom - Jim Morrison Stolen from Apurva's page - http://www.ryze.com/go/chamaria --------------------------------- Vodka Lovers Corner :-) Vodka, the "little water," has over 600 years of history, innumerable human stories attached with it, thousands of ways to mix it, infuse it, drink it, cook with it.. to simply appreciate it. A good toast to start off an evening. (A Russian proverb) A glass for the vodka, for the beer a mug, and for the table, cheerful company (Vodke - ryumka, pivu - stakan, a stolu - vesyolaya kompaniya). :-) http://www.vodkaphiles.com http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodka/ http://cocktails.about.com/od/vodka/a/wbcvodka2004.htm http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/russia/story/analysis/Russia.Vodka.Politics http://www.forbes.com/foodwithwine/2004/07/28/cx_np_0728feat.html http://www.webtender.com/db/ingred/316 http://www.tastings.com/spirits/vodka.html http://www.absolut.com http://www.absolutad.org http://www.kryshtal.com http://www.smirnoff.com http://www.skyy.com http://www.finlandia-vodka.com http://www.stoli.com http://www.greygoosevodka.com http://www.pearlvodka.com http://www.ivodka.com http://www.levelvodka.com http://www.infernovodka.com http://www.cristall.com http://www.titos-vodka.com http://www.polishvodka.com.pl http://www.goldenbarr.com http://www.blavod.com/main.htm http://www.ikonvodka.net http://www.ursusvodka.nl & my favourite vodka :D http://www.vodkaphiles.com/vodrev.cfm?Counter=14 Comparing Vodka & Russia Nobody in the world knows what vodka is made out of, and the reason I tell you this is that the story of vodka is the story of Russia. Nobody knows what Russia is made of, or what it is liable to cause its inhabitants to do next. - Notes from Will Rogers' 1924 trip to Russia. --------------------- I will meet you yet again How and where I know not Perhaps I will become a figment of your imagination and maybe spreading myself in a mysterious line on your canvas I will keep gazing at you.
