Recalling School time pens!



This really amazes me to write about some of the old memories and especially it is about school time. No wonder there would be a smile on your face while you complete this line. You would have surely recalled some or one of your memorable moments of old times.

While in working hours, I was just going through the usual walk to my colleague Sujeet and saw him stuck somewhere, so thought to clear his doubt and push his car forward. In order to explain better, I took the paper and pen which were on his desk and started the explanation. It went over, finished. I was just moving back to my desk and there was something which was pulling me back, was something magnetic and it was the pen I just used, CELLO Gripper... and guys it all started now.


I remember the mentions of 0.5,0.6 mm points!




I used to ask colleagues and raised the topic of pens and one by one many names came out. Chirag Said Papermate, Anup Said Jetter, I recalled Jotter, cello gel.
Atul Makwana said Reynolds pens, etc.

I remember well that Dr. Saurabh Patel's classic handwriting were courtesy(give credit to pens too) to Reynold 045!

 




Moreover I remember my Friends Vineet Patel and Atul Patel always used Reynolds Jetter.












Dr. Abhishek Vyas used Mitsubishi uni ball pens.












Some High profile friends were using Gel pens, Jotter ones, Parker ones, Roller balls, minister ink pens.

You might also remember cello pointec in which we used to see ink level.



Also the 4 color pens.












Flash back of memories.








parker ballpoint pen refill











Hope you enjoyed.
Thanks.

 

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANY.

Its official now, Google acquires Motorola Mobility !

Search engine Google Inc on Tuesday announced that Sanjay Jha has stepped down as CEO of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc.

He has been replaced by long-time Googler Dennis Woodside.

The announcement came after Google announced that the acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc has closed, with Google acquiring the firm for $40.00 per share in cash.

The acquisition will enable Google to supercharge the Android ecosystem and will enhance competition in mobile computing.

Motorola Mobility will remain a licensee of Android and Android will remain open.

Google will run Motorola Mobility as a separate business.

Jha, who revived Motorola's Mobile Devices business and led the company through this acquisition, has stepped down as CEO, although he will continue to work with Google to help ensure a smooth transition.

Dennis Woodside, who has overseen integration planning for the acquisition and previously served as President of Google's Americas region, has become CEO of Motorola Mobility.

Larry Page [ Images ], CEO of Google, said, "I am happy to announce the deal has closed. Motorola is a great American tech company, with a track record of over 80 years of innovation. It is a great time to be in the mobile business, and I am confident that the team at Motorola will be creating the next generation of mobile devices that will improve lives for years to come."

"Sanjay Jha, who was responsible for building the company and placing a big bet on Android, has stepped down as CEO. I would like to thank him for his efforts and am tremendously pleased that he will be working to ensure a smooth transition as long-time Googler Dennis Woodside takes over as CEO of Motorola Mobility. I have known Dennis for nearly a decade, and he has been phenomenal at building teams and delivering on some of Google's biggest bets. Dennis has always been a committed partner to our customers and I know he will be an outstanding leader of Motorola -- and he has already off to great start with some very strong new hires for the Motorola team."

Dennis Woodside, CEO of Motorola Mobility, said: "Motorola literally invented the entire mobile industry with the first-ever commercial cell phone in 1983. Thirty years later, mobile devices are at the center of the computing revolution. Our aim is simple: to focus Motorola Mobility's remarkable talent on fewer, bigger bets, and create wonderful devices that are used by people around the world."

A small team of Motorola Mobility has joined Dennis Woodside and Mahesh Veerina (Software & Enterprise) is one among the few. Veerina will lead Mobile Devices product engineering teams responsible for delivering rich experiences to customers through development of compelling software application and platform roadmaps. He previously served as corporate vice president, Advanced Platforms for Motorola Mobility.

આજે એક કવિતા Writeout કરી દઊં છું!


"આજે એક કવિતા Writeout કરી દઊં છું"

સમય મળે ત્યારે Freakout કરી લઊં છું,
દોસ્તો મળે ત્યાં Hangout કરી લઊં છું,
મોજ મસ્તી ને Chillout કરી દઊં છું;
નિરાંત મળે ત્યાં Nighout કરી લઊં છું!


મને દુ:ખ આવે તો Fightout કરી લઊં છું,
ચિંતાઓ ને Kickout કરી દઊં છું;
બીજાને આવે તો Lightout કરી દઊં છું;
એ પણ અપેક્ષા Without કરી દઊં છું!


પોતાની ભૂલ થાય તો મનોમન Shout કરી લઊં છું,
બીજાની ભૂલો ને Noteout કરી લઊં છું;
એમાંથી શીખવા જેવું મગજ માં Printout કરી લઊં છું,
બાકી નું Shootout કરી લઊં છું.


TODO List માંથી રોજ કામ Throughout કરી દઊં છું,
ચલો આજે Personal List માંથી વધુ એક નામ Strikeout કરી દઊં છું,
પ્રેમ ની રમતમાંથી પોતાની જાત ને Runout કરી દઊં છું,
આજે જ આ વાત Spreadout કરી દઊં છું!

- જય વોરા

જરાક અંતર માંથી !

આજે ફરી એક વાર થાકી ને આવ્યો, મોડો મોડો જમવા બેઠો. વાગોળતાં વાગોળતાં અમુક પંક્તિઓ વિચારાઇ ગઈ.

ખબર છે કે બહુ જોરદાર નથી લખ્યું, પણ લાવો ને પોસ્ટ કરી દઊં !

========

સપનાં ક્યાંથી આવે?
નીંદર ક્યાં પૂરી થાય છે!

ફરિયાદ કોને કરૂં,
કોને સંભળાય છે?

લડું કોની જોડે જ્યારે ખબર જ છે કે,
સમય નો જ 'જય' થાય છે!

- જય વોરા

========

ખુલ્લી આંખે સપના જેવું લાગે છે !
આંખો દ્રારા અપેક્ષાઓને તાગે છે !
ખીંટી ઉપર ખુદની ઇચ્છા ટાંગે છે !

- શોભિત દેસાઇ
========

શબ્દ મધ્યે સ્વર્ગ છે, સમજાય તો,
એ જ એનો અર્થ છે, સમજાય તો.

પ્રશ્ન છે તો ઉત્તરો એના હશે,
સાવ સીધો તર્ક છે, સમજાય તો.

કોઈ ના બોલે છતાં સહુ સાંભળે,
એ જ સાચું પર્વ છે, સમજાય તો.

આ કલમ પર છે નિયંત્રણ કોકનું,
ને મને એ ગર્વ છે, સમજાય તો.

રહસ્યોના પડદાઓ ઉપાડી તો જો, ખુદા છે કે નહી હાક મારી તો જો!

રહસ્યોના પડદાઓ ઉપાડી તો જો
ખુદા છે કે નહી હાક મારી તો જો

પલાઠી લગાવીને ના બેસી રહે
તુ મુઠ્ઠીઓ વાળીને ભાગી તો જો
 
હશે તો ઉઠી દોડવા માંડશે
તુ પ્રારબ્ધને લાત મારી તો જો

ખબર તો પડે મોતીઓ છે કે નહી
તુ સમુંદરમાં ડુબકી લગાવી તો જો

છે મીઠા કે ખારા સમજ તો પડે
જલન ઝાંઝવાઓને ચાખી તો જો.
