lifeMojo

Came to know about http://www.lifemojo.com from the BBC mailing list. One of the founders of this site is a member here and had mentioned about it in one of his emails.

Decided to check it out, and overall I think it’s pretty decent. It stores all the walks, runs, bike rides along with the daily diet (haven’t used this as yet) and provides graphical results.

I have been maintaining my records for over a month now and my profile is at

Storytelling Science and Arvind Gupta

Was reading through an interesting write up on cycling (was recommended by a BBC member on the BBC newsgroup. The article is here
http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/~amit/other/iitk/cycle.txt

Found the article to be an amazing piece of writing, and seeing that it was hosted on IIT Kanpur’s servers, found that it was a personal site by Amitabha Mukerjee. Decided to dig around and was amazed at the works of Amitabha Mukerjee who teaches Computer Science at IIT Kanpur. For more details visit

http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/~amit/

Extremely interesting is the Storytelling Science page and it’s a must-read. It is an amazing set of stories, you must see it, read it and assimilate the gist of what Amitabha is saying. Read it here at http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/~amit/story/index.html

I actually made the paper helicopter and the paper cup, right here in office and am thrilled..I will be showing it to my son tonight for sure. Awesome.

While reading the Play God make your ferocious Gecko! article noticed at the end that Amitabha mentions that this is from one of hundreds of projects in the book “Ten Little Fingers” by Arvind Gupta. Was intrigued, so a quick google search on Arvind Gupta took me to

http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/

What an amazing site, all of Arvind Gupta’s works and numerous translations are available here. Take a look, read, assimilate and circulate the amazing collection amongst the kids near you. I for one will for sure.

Heartiest Best Wishes to Amitabha and Arvind for the untiring efforts that they might have spent on this magnificent endeavor of theirs.

Cheers,
Yogesh
