HOBBIES:-
Astronomy:-
i'm crazy about Astronomy...When i
was a child i use to sleep outdoors in the summer nights...when
the night skys were clear ..i wondered what these tiny twinkling
little things might be..From there my intrest grew into a fascinating
hobbie..I really love to stare at the stars, spot out galaxies,
comets, meteoroids, planets and won't want to miss any astronomical
event. Even though the whole night i watch the beautiful dark
skys with bright stars, i'm still not gratified.
The below are for those who are intrested in Astronomy:-
* Starrynights:- Its an astronomical software for both MACINTOSH® & WINDOWS®. So...realistic,that u can travel in space virtually through your computer..Watch the stars during the day time by removing the day light or sun light virtually in the computer screen..All the Solar and Lunar eclipses can be watched even though the event is not taking place at the location where u live..like eclipse happening in Brazil can be watched from India(pune).(www.SPACE.com).And, if u are intrested in Alien search like me...then u can join the SETI (Search for Extra Terrestrial Intellgence) SETI (www.seti.org).Originally the project started by NASA.
(A) Starry nights Pro :Its a professional software with which u can control some kinds of telescopes too ..
(B) Starry nights Backyard : Amateur astronomy software.
i'm sure u will be astonished with the capabilities of this software..For site links go to links in the home page..
Coins and Notes :- I have pretty good collection of coins starting from the east india company in 1855 of India, anna's, silver one rupee coins, large 100 rupee notes and many more...i do also collect the Notes and coins of all the countries...
Computers and Internet:- I love My Macintosh..i am a die hard Fan of Apple Computers.i'm Proud to be a Macee..(macuser)
Apple computers®

PIXAR® Animation studios- Steve Jobs ,CEO www.pixar.com
i own an iMac 233mhz ,64 bit PowerPc
G3 chip.The Original imac model of 1998.i starting using Macintosh
performa in 1993..i was fascinated with the easy to use GUI and
the sopisticated software available on the Macintosh..Apple ignited
the personal computer revolution in 1970's.Still it hold the top
place in the technology in personal computers and most easy to
use computer.Technologies like Firewire 800 mbps invented by Apple(iLink
as called in windows pc).more that 65% of the music artist use
mac for its superior sound quality.Starting from Rock star Bryan
Adams (he is a die hard fan of Macintosh like me.Bryan adams says
"My Mac is My Mistress") to our Indian music directors
like A.R.Rehman. Recently released Mac OS X is the most attractive
Aqua interface (copied by microsoft in XP 9months laterMac
OS X was released) and rock solid strength of unix and simplicity
and elegence of macintosh.I consider myseft to be the luckies
person to own a macintosh which i never dreamt about.visit (www.apple.com)..i'm
a member in the (Indian Mac User Group) iMug in yahoogroups..Pixar
Animation Studios on the other hand is steve jobs (apple computers)
another company with its sophisticated product "Renderman® ".(rendering s/w used for special effects or photorealism
in Hollywood.70% of the special effects in Hollywood are done
by using Renderman® for special effects in Hollywood Movies
.Some of films to be named are Jurassic Park,Matrix,Starwars etc..Visit.www.pixar.com)
Internet is such a thing for me that i get lost in it..apart from the regular mail check,yahoo msg chat,video, news,weather,software, mp3 etc..there is so much to do with internet..One of the most intresting thing is Live streaming..With Softwares like Quicktime we can see the live BBC broadcast and keynotes of the companies like Apple releasing the new products..Live view of the time square NY,Live view of the earth from the space by NASA.Even use the computer processor power of others for ur purpose through internet eg: SETI screensaver software which uses the processor power of computers of the world connected 24hrs to world wide web when idle or not been used by the user. By installing this screen saver in there computers. Finally SETI extracting 20 times power of the present day super computer and increasing day by day. There are some of the links in the links section in the Home page of my site.Hackers clubs,linux user groups, the most exciting thing is the gnutella network in which it uses the peer to peer network and u can find almost anything u wanted..
Check out the websites adds in links in the homepage..
Biking and Long Distance rides:- I love riding my bicycle and my bike...I pedal long distances on my bicycle..(Hero Ranger Swing 18 transmission bike with Shimano gears). My maximum distance covered in one day is 150 kms on my bicycle back in Hyderabad..
I have recently made a long distance
trip on my CBZ (24th Dec 2002)from Pune - Hyderabad which took
12hrs (600kms) of journey.From this expericence i can say CBZ
from herohonda is pure performance bike.Style, Power ,Sitting
Posture of the driver is very comfortable and its life really
begins after the 5th gear..it can touch the top speeds of 110
kms/hr in no matter of time..It has a good pickup of 12 bhp..And,Pulser
is no way compaired to CBZ.. well Pulser 180cc might be having
some power but overall performance of CBZ is too good.Stability,Style,Comfort..One
more thing u have to remember Quality never comes for cheap (Pulser
may be cheaper but lack Stability,and uncomfortable with the small
and narrow seat.).. i wish i would go much more longer rides on
my CBZ if i got company.
Photography:- I have passion for photography..Apart from the normal aim and click i am more fascinated with High speed photography (Making the fast happening things to slow down like Bullet comming out of the gun is made clearly visible) and Time lapsing photography (Making the very slower happening things appear faster like growing of the plants,Sunrise n Set Which usually takes 12hrs can be seen on a video in few seconds )..Astro photography (Shooting the pictures of the Heavenly Bodies Like Jupiter,Saturn,Moon ..etc.As its an expensive hobby its limited to my budget.....Now with digital Photography Capable of 6 mega pixels per inch(6 million effect pixels on the CCD) i hope photography would be getting cheaper in the comming years..In the near future I hope to get an SLR with a CCD instead of film for few thousand bucks.
Music:- 
When the hear the song Summer of 69
i go mad ,and to the song like heavens ...i'm totally lost in
some different world...Dire straits to Boney M ,From Hindi to
telugu ..i like listening to different kinds of musics..what can
i say about music, i can't image life without music..I can live
with out food ,sex and girl friend but not without music....ABBA,Boney
M,Dire Straits,Bob marley,Sting,Bruce sprinsheen,Bryan,MJ,Ronan
Keating,Celion deon,Shaina,Madonna,Tony Braxton etc are some of
my fav's.
Discovery Channel Explore your world:-My Fav CH is discovery channel and it truly explores ur world.This doesn't mean i don't like the other channels ...i like to watch discovery monthly specials..And all the subjects related to science and education..I beleive that all the children and adults should be watching discovery so that it explores ur world and give them the knowledge of the world of wild life,World tours and travels,science and technology,human behaviour,.Wings,Extreme machines,HumanBody,Love sex & Beauty,Space journey,are some of the intresting topic.Science and technologies of the future are very intresting.Discovery channels is education with fun.
Telescope Making:- My intrest in astronomy lead me to make a telescope. i needed a telescope for viewing the far away heavens.Click here for my project on telescope making (Telescope making project) What i made is 4" reflector telescope ..u have ur choices depending on ur budget 8", 10",12" ..the higher u go the more expensive it is..
Ham Radio:-This the hobbie i always wanted to do but due to some reason i couldn't do it..But in the future the will try my best to do it..Because for this u need to write a exam and then do this as hobby....
