One of the thinking tools that I have learned from my manager is the Caf. Caf stands for "consider all factors" and it was invented by De Bono. I have started a wikipedia page on caf . Do add more to it if you know better or if you have any links further exploring this idea.
Yahoo! news has a coverage about this
The government's main AIDS prevention agency has filed an affidavit in the Delhi High Court, supporting a request by an AIDS activist group to scrap the law.
The National AIDS Control Organization, part of India's Health Ministry, argued in the affidavit filed last week that the 1861 law creates a public health risk.
"So long as the gay community is forced to go underground, it limits the access to them and makes it difficult for the AIDS prevention campaign to reach them," Sujatha Rao, who heads the AIDS Control Organization, also known as NACO, told The Associated Press.
I hope this law gets scrapped. This is covered under the Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) of 1860.
"of unnatural offences: Who ever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal shall be punished with imprisonment for life or imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to 10 years and shall also be liable to fine.
Nokia ports apache to Symbian , the name of the project is "Raccoon". The phone can serve as a web server. Check out their concept demos. I especially liked their Access to Core Data. They suggest "Mount a read-write view of the /Apache directory using WebDAV and edit your webpages directly.". Nice. Now I have to get my hands on a 6630 asap - just so that I can have a webserver running on it

I got up early at 0500 (to avoid the loo-rush 
).
However, I got another treat (besides an empty loo) - the sight of sun
rising over the Himalayan peaks. This is really a sight to behold.
Luckily, there was only one other guy awake at that time and both of
us enjoyed the sight without saying a word.
Our next camp was Hora Thatch. We left at around 0800 after breakfast. The climb was steep, but the scenery was beautiful. The route was through a jungle. While on our way there, we had to face some rain. It was then that I discovered that my rain sheet was too small. Luckily, one of the guys had an extra rain sheet and he loaned it to me for the entire trek.
We reached the Hora Thatch camp by 1600. I think this was the most beautiful camp - it was situated right in the midst of the jungle. The rain had started pouring just as I reached the camp and I quickly got into my tent.
After the rains subsided, the camp leader welcomed us and told us where we could find water. then he pointed to his left and said "For your nature calls, go at least 200 meters away from the camp. Don't go to the other side, as that is for the girls". So, from that point onwards, we had officially left civilization behind.
There was a canteen at the camp and the guy had a fire going beside it. It was quite cold at that altitude and all of us made a beeline for the fire. Speaking of cold, the water at that camp was freezing. It was the water which came directly from the melting ice. It was only by putting my mind over the pain was I able to wash my hand and face in that water. Most people refrained from touching the water, instead using tissue paper to clean their plates and their faces. We had dinner and I went to sleep in my tent. However, before going to sleep, I took a bottle of water and kept it with me, so that it would be easier to use it in the morning.
NURSE PIGGY: Where did we get this patient from?
DR. BOB: Oh. Well, she was found with a bunch of cows.
NURSE PIGGY: Not bunch. Herd.
DR. BOB: Herd of what?
NURSE PIGGY: Herd of cows.
DR. BOB: Sure, I've heard of cows.
NURSE PIGGY: No, no, no. I mean the cows herd.
DR. BOB: I don't care if the cows heard. I haven't said anything to be
ashamed of.
The third day was when we started on the actual trek. We were to trek
to the Segli camp,located at an height of 7,100 feet. We had an early
breakfast and were handed packed lunch. A bus was to drop us off to
our starting point. The bus arrived on time and we boarded it. Guess
how I travelled on the bus ? By sitting on its roof . If you ever
feel suicidal, try travelling on a bus top in a hilly region in North
India. It was frightening, but fun.
The bus dropped us off near a village and we started our trek. We had a guide with us to show us the way. However, the good people of YHAI had placed markers to guide us all along the route. THe first part of our trek was through a village, and the village was not different from any other Indian village. The guide advised us not to pluck flowers and fruits from the trees, as a previous group had gotten into some arguments with the villagers over this.
Once we crossed the village, the route became really beautiful. We were surrounded by tall trees. The sounds that we could hear was our own breathing and the sound of the birds. This part of the trek was not too stressful. When we stopped for our first break, I quickly applied sunscreen lotion to my arms and legs. People who had neglected this got a bit sunburnt. Without too much trouble, we reached our first camp of the trek - Segli.
We were given tea and soup. Then we had dinner at 1900 and then a campfire after that. After the campfire, I went to my allocated tent and promptly fell asleep.
