Atlatis, The Palm is a resort at Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The grand opening of which took place recently on 20th November.
The fireworks display and show with the ensemble of stars could have made it,
something out of a fairy tale. Well actually its just another addition to Dubai's, burgeoning skyscrapers and fantasy hotel resorts. The firework display was a 23km show lighting up the entire palm shaped islands. A specialty that sets it apart is the almost 10 million liter aquarium that has raised objections from quarters,
due to its inhabitants of exotic marine life.
Check out the opening video here!

Quantum of Solace : Short Review.


To say the least what Casino Royale tried to do with the Bond franchise.. Quantum
of Solace, carried forth with aplomb. That is basically bond is now no more a
womanizer, with gadgets in every inner pocket.
Qantum of Solace, adds more action, fireworks, raw muscle and essential bond quick
wit to make one roller coaster ride. Daniel Craigs search for Vesper's(His Casino
Royale counterpart)killers, continues, as he single handedly uncovers plots covering nations.
The journey moves through some really exotic locales and high level action sequences. Bond seems to have exchanged his gizmos for whatever is available(aka Bourne style knife fights), the showpiece ladies with kick a** gals, and there’s a nice bit of parkour thrown in keeping with the last edition of free running.
Judie Dench as M, does her bit with class and seriousness, her talent though couldn’t fully be exploited given the limited scope of her character.
What you do get at the end of the movie is a lot of high octane action, a 1:45 hour almost, edge of the seat experience, and a lasting impression of Craigs, steel blue eyes. Definitely worth a watch.

Barack Obama's Victory Speech : Yes We Can!

Though I aint very aware of the political scenario of USA,(I aint American),
I really felt a surge of adrenalin, waiting to see the outcome of the US elections.
Of course elections come an go, but for the one man elected, the expectations
are palpable, making you wonder, are you witnessing another legend in the making.
Well I might have to bite my words latter, but listening in to the Victory
speech on November 4th, it was really a speech to remember.

Digging in a bit more, the life line of Mr. Obama himself, clearly shows a hint
of selfless dedication to the common man.  Well only time can tell, if his
memory remains years from now, but for the time being, id rather listen in
to an orator worth listening to.
Listen in on his victory speech at Chicago

Cool Utiliy : Show Hide with JQuery!

Previously while working with javascript and div, it did get me very confused,
with code required to hide/show a paragraph. Well it seems jquery has the
feature nicely put in, implementing the css div hide in a short few lines,
of code.
Here it is :-
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#faq').find('dd').hide().end().find('dt').click(function() {
$(this).next().slideToggle();
});
});

and include it in the HTML code :-
