Magnetic dreams 2007-11-05 13:14:00 Self-help books have never appealed to me much, but this book caught my attention(luckily, a year after it's release!). The name says it all The Secret.
The book is about the benefiting oneself with positive outlook, taming our minds(power of mind), realizing dreams and is simplified to what is known as laws of attraction. There is a lot into it and I'm thinking of getting this book, a
Desktop Charms 2007-11-04 02:01:00 This is a meme(aka tag) from footiam's Beautiful World and it goes like this; "What is the personality of your computer?"
This is a screen shot of my desktop and hope the first impression of it gives you all about my personality!
Wallpaper: I haven't changed it ever since I purchased my laptop(Inspiron 6400)! Two main reasons are that I'm a big fan of Read more:Desktop

Decoding emoticons! 2007-11-03 01:43:00 Thanks to Jay Cam(aka Ultra flashlight dude) for the post!
Feel good factor 2007-11-01 20:48:00 Wish you knew yourself better by listening to someone genuine and not those fancy sugar coated words? Well, turn to tickle.com!
Results given were kind off predictable and over the course of taking these tests, you'll get familiar with the methodology(not to forget, they are PhD certified premium tests) of assessing. Still, the feel good factor
is great!
I took a whole lot of them(this is my
Got blog(s)? need reviews? 2007-10-31 18:03:00 Getting my blog reviewed is something which I've wanted to do lately. It makes you feel more enthusiastic, encouraged and a lot more thing. Just in time I bumped across a blog that reviews
blog!
Well, the last time I reviewed my blog was about a year ago(ugh, wait!)...probably 8 to 9 months back. It was in an online forum and satisfactorily enough, but a blog dedicated to review blog is totally

Big boys do cry 2007-10-29 02:01:00 Words are not enough to describe Milan-Roma's match yesterday night. Hence, I came up with an idea of posting a joke!
A football player had dislocated his shoulder in a nasty challenge, and was still screaming in agony when they got him to hospital. "For Heaven's sake," said the doctor, "don't be such a baby, you're supposed to be a big, tough defender. There's a woman having a baby next door
Who is the 'brick' on the wall? 2007-10-27 10:20:00 This was listed in featured videos section of YouTube today and I'll post few of the text comments which are the things that actually went through my head while watching it(thanks for the comments!) Names are withheld for the betterment of those who commented and me.

Irwin's day out 2007-10-26 15:23:00 Guess what's common in Rocky(entire series), Home of the Brave, Life as a house? They are all produced by Mr. Irwin
Winkler. Well, Winkler might not be a Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsee or Paul Haggis(Crash) but worth mentioning.
Rocky series was great; inspiring enough and one of the best boxing movies I've come across(excluding Cinderella man).
Life as a house? Pretty hilarious!
Different languages, same meaning 2007-10-25 11:17:00 Foreign language movies generally don't impress me much, but here's a bunch of those which have made a difference. These movies are surely different from usual movies in their slot which doesn't make you feel itsy-bitsy about it.
Broken wings(aka Knafayim Shvurot) is a hebrew movie directed and written by Nir Bergman. It's about teens, mother and kids in a struggling household.

Technorati Train 2007-10-22 11:04:00 This idea was drafted by Jay's world(originally from Blue Anvil). The basic idea is that it will help you increase your Technorati
rank(how simple was that!)
---------Start--------
Here are the rules:
1) Write a short introduction paragraph about what how you found the list and include a link to the blog that referred you to the list.
2) COPY the Rules and ENTIRE List below and post it to your Read more:Train
Please make sense! 2007-10-20 12:12:00 Okay, I believe all of us(at least most of us) do have a past. We realize that we've had a past because of what we are now, which was never even imagined during those 'past' days. Something to feel happy and contend about, but proud and something to boast of?
What message do people try to bring when they say that they were all messed up and finally when there was no hope, such and such Read more:Please
Stir up 2007-10-18 13:29:00 Came across an interesting graphical IQ test which is called the Japanese IQ test. Apparently, similar IQ test is given to every job applicants in Japan.
This is how the rules apply;

Situation calls 2007-10-16 13:53:00 Imagine this situation; you wake up in a room which does not looks like your room(it looks more like an abandoned home or something like that sort) along with two-three other people at different corners of the room(none of them no each other, including you). Glancing at them, you come to a conclusion that they too are not the owners of that place and they are also in here like you-without any Read more:calls
It's found everywhere 2007-10-15 15:25:00 Well, I've changed to a new template. It's very similar to my previous one except that this one has an extra column(so no cluttering of interesting articles or widgets!). A detailed search using Google and Yahoo!(I found this using Yahoo! Three cheers to them) made me understand that there are three column templates available for blogger.com users and also animated one's. Interested in creating Read more:everywhere
Tagged(SEO) 2007-10-12 10:41:00 Bobo tagged me on this. It's called the SEO
tag based on the theory that links to posts inside your blog are more important than links to your home page.Check out her post on this for details.
This is how it works;pick three posts that you feel are your best or those you simply want to promote, list the site name along with your three selected posts.

When Necessity becomes a talent 2007-10-08 01:02:00 Here is a short story(rather Incident) on how a necessity became a talent for me. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
My parents came up with the idea of sending me to a boarding school after my 8th grade with the belief that boarding school are best for disciplining a child. I never revolted, thinking that it's a nice idea after all and more freedom being away from home
Hence, for my 9th grade Read more:Necessity
Unreal friends 2007-09-30 02:59:00 I realized enemies are not 'real' enemies after all. It's the people around me who are jealous, selfish, ill motived and lots more.
So, I'm going to hug my enemies no matter how ferocious they look! Read more:Unreal
Thoughtful thoughts 2007-09-21 14:31:00 These are few sayings by Marcus Aurelius(Roman emperors not generally remembered for their wisdom, he is an exception).
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts
.You have power over your mind-not outside events.Your life is what your thoughts make it.

Goodies for blogspot.com 2007-11-10 11:44:00 The 'tag cloud' found mostly on wordpress blogs fascinated me for a long time but was bit disappointed that blogger.com didn't have that option. Tags on blogger could be arranged in alphabetical order or in the order of their frequency.
I've used web-based tag clouds(tag-cloud, zoom clouds, make clouds) which generates one with your RSS or even simply with the blog's url; but where not Read more:Goodies

Brace yourself like a man! 2007-11-09 06:40:00 After so much of blasphemy(sadly, half of them are true) about men and their infidelity from my community blogger(not to forget this one too!) and none of the men shot back! Is it the best way to maintain dignity?
Probably not!

Espically if it's the final one with all hopes and dreams of getting a job after graduating, moving to a different place to study/work.......
