Freedom Writers, after very long time I watched a movie, which touched my heart. Especially, the way Hilary Swank teaches her students, actually the gang members.

Movie is based on true story of a young teacher, Erin Gruwell, teaches in Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif. A recent college graduate, Erin landed her first job in Room 203, only to discover many of her students had been written off by the education system and deemed “unteachable.” As teenagers living in a racially divided urban community, they were already hardened by first-hand exposure to gang violence, juvenile detention, and drugs.

Its a must watch movie for those teachers who are willing to provide & contribute something valuable.
After watching a movie, my friend told me, "I feel tears in my eyes while watching the movie".
I liked the sound tracks as well of the movie.

Wanna get fresh vegetables & fruits directly from farms? How far the farm is, if you live in the forest of cement & concrete?
What if skyscrapers nearby provide you all that things?

Yes, in near future you will be able to find & get the fresh fruits & vegetables just few steps away from your home.

Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health at Columbia University, has thought about a project, “vertical farm,” a concept he created in 1999.

Here are some concept pictures.

Finally, iPhone will be launched in India by October/November '08.
I was amazed when I heard the price that won't be more than $199 (across 70 countries worldwide), although you wont get it in that amount, you will have to tie up with your service provider. In India, Vodafone is going to launch it with minimum plan of around Rs. 23,000 with 2 year subscription.

As Steve Jobs said in recent WWDC, Price was the major factor for the people who didn't buy the iPhone in the countries where iPhone launched. So Apple slashed the price 50% less!

But.. will we the new iPhone 3G with all the feature & accessories provided with previous version of iPhone (iPhone EDGE), thats the big question.

Lets hope in India, we will get the same as we can see in this video
Lets unpack the iPhone.
