Below is an interview i gave for for Halil of the peopleized team(where people interview people).I hereby take this opportunity to thank Mert Erkal who has given me the wonderful opportunity to expose myself to the blogging world , thus.Thank you,Mert!

Kindness-An inseperable part of me
2007-12-17 08:52:00
If you ask me if i were kind at least once in my life, i would say a big yes.Not once,but many times.Innumerable times.Not because i have given money.No!I hate giving alms to beggars and people who can't live for themselves.I have never given a penny to anybody as of date.Why?There's no real answer as far as the question is concerned.I hate people who boast about the money they give to charities and trusts.Is this kindness?Is doing something good and propagating it kindness?No,it's not,at least in my lexicon.I hate people who are after power and money.Why be materialistic and why not be practical?Think!Does this mean i am not kind at all?No,i of course am kind.But in what way?Read and you'll get to know.Want me to cite some instances?Sure,if not to you readers then to who will i share it with?But,remember,i have not said anything i have done to anybody,even my mom.This is the first time i am spilling out the beans.This is no big secret but as i told you before,i don't like speakin

I stumbled upon these pictures and i am afrid i don't know their sources.These pics caught my attention
and i would like to share them with the world.The photograph above was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day.The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting.Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are the cities' lights.The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert .Note that the lights are already on in Holland , Paris , and Barcelona,and that's it's still daylight in Dublin , London , Lisbon , and Madrid .The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar . The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands ; a bit below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa , are the Cape Verde Islands.Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both dur

The Department of Denials-A review
2008-03-02 00:12:00
After a long long time, i read this book called "The Department
of Denials" by Anurag Mathur, a week back. An internet habitué, I googled and found out that the book was great or so people said. I was getting all thrilled to read because this was the second or the third time i was reading indian authors. Earlier, i had read Chetan Bhagat's books and was kinda fascinated, if not overwhelmed.A voracious book reader that i am , i read any book that i pick and so far, i must say, i have read the best of books. Classics that make you go all dry-eyed and satires that make you laugh your heads out and philosophical writings that make you all rapturous and tranquil. As an experienced reader(whoa, what a term!) i guess i can very well give a clean review
of the books i read. Well, this time, bef

Indifference, an inseperable part of me
2008-02-26 07:32:00
Why have i always been indifferent to things?Worse, why do i never show my anger but provoke people just with the help of my body language?Or man, why the hell do i have this care-a-damn attitude?Why am i not able to feel anything for anybody?Have i become a self-conceited, arrogant being?Or do i live my life constantly telling myself that i am what that counts and nothing else actually does?Why have i become do indifferent and cold-hearted of late?What made me look upon people as a bunch of stupids and what do i call a person who hates mankind?A misanthrope, yes, have i become a misanthrope or have i always been one?Well, there are a thousand questions inside me, constantly making me think.The worst part is, i love being indifferent.

Jack was an intelligent kid and he was quite smart too. Though they were both very happy, the constant source of irritation in their family was Lucia's husband Henry.He was a drunkard and hated the very site of Jack.His main profession was gambling and he spent money like water.He was a subject of ridicule in the town and if not for Lucia, the townspeople would have thrown Henry out of the town.Lucia's earnestness and honesty made them keep mum and at times, she would very bad and often cry about her fate.

All about casinos
2008-01-20 01:08:00
The exact origin of gambling is unknown. The Chinese recorded the first official account of the practice in 2300 B.C., and it is generally believed that gambling, in one form or another, has been present in almost every society since. From the Ancient Greeks and Romans to Napoleon's France and Elizabethan England, history is rich with tales of exploits based on the games of chance. At the height of the Roman Empire, lawmakers decreed that all children were to be taught to gamble and throw dice. One Roman emperor even designed his carriage to allow dice games while enroute to his official duties. The French are credited with inventing playing cards in 1387, and in 1440 Johann Gutenberg of Germany printed the first full deck of cards.Many present-day gambling games are incarnations of previo

This idea was quite different and this was what lured me into wrting a post on the same.Now, if you really want to get the books,all you have to do is post an entry about the contest on your blog.

That's not all, you even get amazon gift certificates!Check out her blog and write a post real quick, coz the deadline is fast approaching. The last date to post your entries is January 21.If you don't want the books, atleast encourage her by linking to the site.Not many in this world are sensible enough to give away books, or so rampantheart thinks;)

Every blogger has this widget mania to increase his/her traffic. I am not exception to it. I have cut and pasted innumerable javascript codes . It started with Feedjit, a great service for tracking visitors to our blog and neo-counter(I don't remember the link) which tells us from which places the main traffic comes.I really loved both of them but had to remove them coz my blog was loading very very slow and many of my readers told me to do something about it. They were apprehensive about it and my new commenting system, as fate would have it, wouldn't let go of me, even i wish to!I had tried uninstalling the code but lo, nothing happens. At least it's faster and not as bad as it was, before, when people frantically begged me to change it or remove it. Clustermaps is a great service and i

Poetry- Embodiment of my soul in words

Sometimes, when i look back at the times when i actually wrote stuff on a paper, i am filled with nostalgia and dolorous. I no longer write poetry nowadays due to my hectic life. Life had been a tranquil lot those days. How can i write poems when i no longer have the time to be solitary?Uh, huh, i am not complaining but sometimes, deep inside it hurts.The last poem i wrote was "Waiting for the one" and it's one of my most favorite ones. Not many of my recent readers know that i write poems and so, i am giving you all a chance to read my most favorite ones and comment on them.I am showcasing some of my best poems and would love it if you could provide your feedback.I would appreciate critiques.

Ayn Rand and The Fountainhead

In an orkut community, i had posted the following comment in response to a post that eulogised Ms Rand .Here the big comment goes!Why don't ou have your say after reading my point?That might be great! The Fountainhead is one of the best books i have ever read, no doubt. Miss Rand is a gifted story teller.Well, when i read the book few months back, even i was intrigued. Intrigued is too small a word. Disturbed is the word. Like, i got perturbed by the philosophy and felt restless. I began positioning myself as Howard and thought i were him. This continued for about a month or so. Now i have completely recuperated. Now, you may wonder why i have used the word "recuperated". If you are really a shrewd, wise person, you'll notice that her philosophy is sheer brainwashing. Don't be offended, pe

You all are aware of the fact that though i am not into vigorous blogging for about a few months now,I am still a blogging freak. Semester exams are just round the corner and as mentioned earlier, placements are coming this june. Probably in the midst of june, i guess.So, i must really concentrate on my academics and get placed in a decent company. Well, one thing i have not shared with my blog readers is probably about my future career. Not many know that i want to become an entrepreneur. For an egotistic person like me, team work wouldn't work. I like working independently, without anyone monitoring me. But for time being, i might work for a company for some 2 years and do what i like-blogging full time and developing stuff. Please understand that i am being very serious here.I have pl
