Normally any email forward goes into the trash bin, However with this coming for a doctor i know, i felt obliged to take a second look.
A lot of forwards are hoaxes with incorrect information, yes including the one with the number of Indians in NASA
The Email Forward.
First some background ..
In early 2008, a friend came to me with a problem. Working in a charity organization she needed some help analyzing data. She were looking for something that would help them track donations, spending. Unfortunately, even charity organizations need to pay for such software specifically designed for them. Some soft wares do offer discounts, however just buying software is one part of the total expenses.
My friend’s organization was getting software at a discounted rate, however what they did not realize at that time was that such software come with maintenance charges. Very few companies make money out of selling solutions directly, most profits are made by maintenance charges which vary from a basic minimum to 25% of the software cause whichever is higher. Provided you want maintenance of course.
A quick look into the open source market revealed that even though there are solutions available in the market, most are geared towards making one buy the enterprise version. The modules are not exhaustive and offer only basic functionality. So a few of us got together and decided to create a complete open source solution. It would be free to download and use, and have the look and feel of a professional solution.
Since most of the team was working in product companies, we realized that we would have to design an entire new framework based on open source solutions so as not to clash with propriety software. So what followed over the past one and a half years was research into technologies that will hopefully be the in thing in future, revisions and revisions of what the framework could be capable of, interrupted by of course, the recession ( a few changed jobs), the mergers (twice in a year for one of us), accidents (85 kg fatty and the driver swears he never saw me 
) . However we have just put in the last finishing touches to the core of the framework and are developing the admin module. On the side we have been talking to NGO’s and charity organizations to find out what they need in terms of IT.
Unfortunately, we don’t really have a name for the framework yet Having vetoed the names of all girlfriends, ex girlfriends, wives and other such we are really having trouble with the name.
So here is something which we hope you all will help us in. Suggest a name for the framework. We will be using the framework to design the modules however we would really like a general name since the framework can be used for other applications as well.
Some guidelines
Thanks for your help in advance.
If you want more information about the project or would like to contribute in terms of knowledge of NGO’s and their requirements please feel free to contact me Sandip. We will shortly be unveiling a page about the project and you will be able to follow it here. And yes, we are proud to be associated with enagar.com and it will be where we move forward with our project.
Its official, the longest running love triangle is finally heading towards a conclusion. Generations will wonder why it finally ended. Newsites are running pools on who the lucky couple should be. The majority heavily favours the cute, middle class girl next door against the snobbish, rich and beautiful.
On September 8, 2009 it happened; millions were shocked, dismayed. The blogs, sites screamed defiance.
And then in October every one raised the same question again. In true Krzysztof Kieślowski style (Blind Chance), we glimpse the different lives based on different choices. Inspired by Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” as well as the Gwyneth Paltrow movie “Sliding Doors” and the song “Both Sides Now”, writer Michael E. Uslan explores how decisions affect our lives.
The dice has been cast, the redhead, freckled Archibald Andrews is getting married. The Riverdale High kids grow up 68 years after they were first intorduced in 1941.
And with finishes a part of childhood. Childhood of people who grew up with it, whose kids grew up with it, then their grand kids. If there was anything guaranteed was that Archie would never grow up. It was a love triangle that spanned generations. Unlike other love triangles , this was a blurred triangle. While Betty did pine for Archie she did go out with others as Archie didn’t reciprocate all the time. Veronica would date others of her class (read snobbish, rich Reggie Mantle 
) and Archie, well Archie could never keep his eyes from any pretty girl that came his way.
With the years that passed Riverdale High underwent a transition, the 2000′s saw the inclusion of minority characters. I stopped following Archie a decade earlier as the price went up and the number of pages shrunk. I outgrew it as well. This piece of news however, brings back memories, of bartered comics and pleading with Mom to buy the latest comic. A revived intrest to see how the unfinished business ends. In a way you want it to continue, even though you laugh at the absurdity of a love triangle lasting so many decades.
How will it end. Will it be Betty, or will it be Veronica? Or maybe in this era of equal rights the two girls choose different paths? Or like Run Lola Run there is a third scenario? Forget Superman marrying Louise, The Invisible Girl and Mr. Fantastic the comic marriage of the all times is here.

Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run starring Franka Potente is the current masterpiece of multiple lives of our generation.

First of all Hindi is not our national language, so it is not necessary for people to know it.
However as this guy rightly points out, there are a few barriers to speaking in Hindi as well.
So next time feel a bit for those guys who only learn Hindi in school.
