Eclipse...!!

-
The year 2010 started with a Lunar Eclipse... A beautiful partial eclipse... I was awake in the night watching the Blue moon... Awesome...
So after the beautiful Lunar Eclipse here comes a Solar Eclipse. Today's eclipse was Longest Solar Eclipse in this Millennium lasting a staggering 11 min 08 s. Next eclipse to beat this time is slated for December 23, 3043.

Preparations: Went to get the Eclipse watching Solar glasses, But they are no where to be found in Udupi, So ended up buying the Welding Glass from a hardware shop as didn't wanted to miss the the view of the eclipse (The best ones are Numbered 14 and are safe to watch a eclipse).
Udupi is not in the strip of the eclipse, so was able to watch almost 80% of the Sun covered by the sun.

Awesome.....!!! Have no other words and Pictures describing the eclipse.

So people who missed today's eclipse I feel sorry for you, Now you have to wait for 9 years to see another Solar eclipse in South India. Not even a partial eclipse for South India for 9 years. The next Solar eclipse is a big one the Annular Solar eclipse Which is passing through south India is dated for 19-Dec-2019. Well that is 9 years from now. But that one will be a more spectacular than this one with the center closely passing though Udupi.

Who all Missed the Solar eclipse, Watch out a partial Lunar Eclipse is headed our way on 2010 Jun 26. Hope that there are no clouds and you can stay awake at moon rise... :)

Axis bank iConnect Login ID

-
I have a Account in Axis bank, which provided me with a iConnect netbanking account. Initially i had so much trouble finding my Login ID so the account was idle for almost a Year. Then One fine day i just got interested in Internet banking. So started Digging the Documents. Found the iConnect and Telebanking Password slips. Now started searching for the Login ID, Tried all possible ID's which were mentioned in the Welcome Kit... Just to be annoyed and not able to login. Then Found a Entry as Customer ID in the Telebanking password slip . OK Finally made out that the Customer ID is the iConnect ID too so that is the LOGIN ID for iConnect. So i just typed in the Customer ID and the Password, just to get greeted by a Page which tells me USE INTERNET EXPLORER . So Logged in with the Internet Explorer and i was able to login.
