The other side of love 2007-12-03 20:54:00 Meghan wanted to run away from everything.This was not what she had wanted.Everytime she looked into the soul of Ryan,she told herself that she didn't deserve him.She was now walking alone in the rain,a thousand emotions killing her within.Lost in her thoughts,she knew not where she was going.Was that important at all?Just as she carefully made her way to heaven knows where,her cell phone buzzed and yes,Ryan was on the other end.The ringtone sent a shiver down her back and her lips quivered.She decided not to answer the call but Ryan wouldn't have no for an answer.He called a dozen times and she didn't want to hurt him.But there was no choice.It had to be done.Now or never!Finally she answered the call and if she thought her voice betrayed her emotions , she was wrong."Meghan,where are you and why are you not at home?" came Ryan's voice and she was sure he was panicked."Ryan,I am on the way to the supermarket.I will get back to you later" Her voice was deadly serious and she feare
It's all money,honey! 2007-12-01 10:11:00 When i first started blogging way back in 2006 December,little did i know that blogging can be so much fun.First,i started exploring the templates for my wonderful blog (then named "Nostalgia").Then came the addiction of adding widgets and the innumerable cut-paste javascript codes.I kept some,i deleted many and somehow i wasn't all that satisfied with my blog.Something was missing and i knew what i had to do to make my blog more attractive.I joined social networking sites and am real thankful to them.My traffic increased tremendously ad i loved the attention.While surfing other people's blogs i came to know that people actually can make money blogging.I tried to make some dough for long but never was successful.Many of the sites on the web aren't correct for this purpose and i played a trial and error game with many of them before zeroing on one particular service called payperpost.That was because,in almost all the blogs, people wrote their success stories and i was like "hmm,why Read more:honey
Bookroll-Fun time 2007-11-23 00:21:00 The rules of Bookroll are quite simple.Here they goPerson 1 posts the name of a book and author.Person 2 takes a word from the previous title and names a different book and author.Person 3 takes a word from #2's post, and so on. NO USING EASY WORDS LIKE: "the", "A", "And", etc.Don't use a single word for a book nameWords with a hyphen must be included in the sentence together(eg If the name is The curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon,the roll that follows should use night-time and not 'night' alone or 'time' alone)If the name of the book is "The wish" by Daniel someone,you must not use the author's name in the bookroll. The next entry should not be "Daniel's sins" or something like that.Here's how it works:Person 1:Five people you meet in heaven by Mitch AlbomPerson 2:One door away from heaven by Dean KoontzPerson 3:One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia MarquezGuess you have understood the game.Have fun bookrolling!:)I'll go first;Gone wit
Being single 2007-11-18 08:44:00 Sometimes i wonder if being single
is a vice and sometimes i don't.Being single means being free and careless,in my lexicon and who wouldn't enjoy the status?There are no commitments,absolutely no restrictions and nobody to tell you what to do and what not to do.You are your own master.But the single status is a vice too,considering all the red roses you wouldn't get and the lovely time you can't spend with your special someone and not to mention the candle lit dinners you can't have , that add to the fun.Earlier in the Victorian period people looked for their partners by attending balls or by seeking the help of respectable people who would act as match makers.Even till the early 90 s,the same continued.They used media as an extra weapon.But now,the internet revolution has disseminated fast and websites for dating have sprung up,so many that people don't know who to select and who not to.The craze has spread so fast that you even get paid for blogging about the things you love.

StumbleUpon-a boon to all bloggers 2007-11-13 02:32:00 I am a Delicious user, not a prolific one, I don’t spend all day on it and i’m not a “top” delicious user.I should say that it has not brought great traffic to my weblog.SO i decided to give stumble upon a chance and joined it recently.Man,even small websites get great notice in SU and i love the toolbar that allows us to stumble upon websites and blogs in different categories.To people that don't know about bookmarking or SU,I am giving a brief introduction and pointing out the features of Stumble upon.Stumble traffic arrives in waves with an initial test wave and 2 or 3 follow up waves within the week. To continue the stumble a user or users must thumb it up. Even 1 or 2 thumbs up will bring in a fair amount of traffic. Stumbleupon traffic also seems to increase based on reviews, the biggest factor in Stumbleupon traffic appears to be the audience rating of the original stumbler. This seems to dictate the number of waves the site gets.Stumbleupon will provide you with traff Read more:StumbleUpon

101 cool facebook applications 2007-11-12 07:19:00 As a facebook aficionado, I enjoy adding weird applications to my profile.Yes, many of them are frivolous, ridiculous and pointless. They're the most popular ones. But others are useful, innovative and praiseworthy. Whether you're a Facebook veteran or newbie, you should find something worth adding.Here is a list of applications that will make you shout with delight;)1. Fantasy Record Label. Created by Music 2.0 firm Amie Street, this lets you discover music by bands you've never heard of, then add five of them to your virtual record label, getting points if other people like 'em too. Get it2. Super Smash Bros. Someone's remade the classic Nintendo GameCube game for Facebook, just in time for the all-new Wii version to come out. Get it 3. WarBook . Another game, but this one's exclusive to Facebook, and is a medieval strategy game, with monsters and gold and stuff. Nerdy, but ace. Get it 4. Bob Dylan. Celebrate the Bobcat's new album with his official Facebook app. See, even g
Complex things in life are not what they seem! 2007-11-07 05:04:00 Read the sophisticated paragraph below and try to understand the meaning;Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended,sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.These lines translate toJack and jill went up the hillto fetch a pail of waterJack fell down and broke his crownand jill came tumbling after!!!in simple english!!!!!Life's like this.We shun away from complex situations without really understanding them.Would you have expected in your wildest dreams that such a paragraph would be even relevant to the nursery poem?Often,our perceptions are like this.It is in our hand Read more:Complex

Where do I find the answers to these questions? 2007-10-26 10:50:00 When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it?This must surely be given a thought! If the "black box" flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn't the whole airplane made out of that stuff? Very good thinking!!! Who copyrighted the copyright symbol? Who knows!!! Can you cry under water? Now,let me try Why do people say, "you've been working like a dog" when dogs just sit around all day? I think they meant something else! Why are the numbers on a calculator and a phone reversed? God knows why! Do fish ever get thirsty? Don't you ever get intelligent? Why do birds not fall out of trees when they sleep?

Does Google Adsense really work? 2007-10-25 02:48:00 I started showing Google
ads on my weblog last year and ever since,I have received only $4.80,to be precise.Out of some 1700 impressions,only 75 or so clicked on the ads and this is very discouraging.And the funny part is,Google pays people only the amount goes upto $100.How many more years do i have to wait to get my first paycheck from Google?Man,i can't even imagine.Frankly speaking,I encourage people by clicking on the ads and i am doing what i can to encourage bloggers and webmasters.Well,what is your say on this issue and has any any of you recd a paycheck from Google?Share it with the world!Like the post?Why don't you leave a comment?

World's funniest one liners! 2007-10-22 04:10:00 There are two rules for success: 1.) Don't tell all you know. Time is what keeps things from happening all at once.Few women admit their age; few men act it.There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who can't. Always remember that you are unique; just like everyone else.Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory Laugh alone and the world thinks you're an idiot.I took an IQ test and the results were negative.The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the ability to reach it.If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.On the other hand, you have different fingers.I've only been wrong once, and that's when I thought I was wrong. I don't find it hard to meet expenses. They're everywhere. Don't steal. The government hates competition.The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.National Atheist's Day April 1st.

Speak out loud 2007-10-18 03:14:00 Hi folks and buddies,It's been a real long time since i posted anything on my blog and i thought it would be real great to do something different.And as usual I've come up with something serious:)Do you have a best friend?If yes,he/she might not live up to your expectations.No human being is perfect.What do you not like in your best friend and why?Have you taken any steps to actually talk to him/her and find out if the problem is with you/him/her?You don't have to mention his/her name.Sometimes,it's better speaking out loud rather than have things deep inside that haunt us all the time.This might also lead to emotional stress and nervous breakdown.I shall offer you counsel if the problem is serious.Don't feel bad that you are betraying your friend by talking about him/her here.On the contrary,this might help you learn the truth.Enjoy your stay on my blog!have fun!PS;I don't have any best friends but i am closer to a girl who's awesome.The only qualities i hate about her is her s
Do real men cry? 2007-10-07 00:25:00 Yesterday,a particular incident made me think,like get very serious and that's why i'm here to discuss it.Yesterday,I watched Jodi No 1(tamil), a program where couples in real life and random pairs dance and entertain(do they?) the viewers.I have been watching the program for quite sometime and it's been very good.Among the very few programs i watch,this is one.Now,a couple gets eliminated in each round and as usual tension spreads out in the air.There are 3 permanent judges and 2 special guests.Of the 3,one is kinda very straightforward and you must be knowing who it is.Yep,it's the great Simbu(yikes,to even speak of him when his father is still alive,the real thalai..lol:) Jokes apart,Simbu is very straightforward and though he talks nonsense at times,he's a good judge.He irritates people sometimes with his rather stupid comments.Otherwise,he's okay.He's a fair judge.But too prejudiced,if i am not wrong.He has the feeling that he's a born dancer.That might be true but being s
Microsoft Student Partner program,whoa! 2007-10-06 02:32:00 It's been a long time since I posted anything on my wonderful blog and it's quite sad!I have got study hols now,thankfully and semester exams start from the 15th of november.Life's pretty cool at the moment.I have got a lot of time to cover up my portions,no doubt.The only subject that gives me goosebumps is Microprocessors and I am kinda into it now.I started with 8085 yesterday and found the concepts interesting.Hmm,will probably finish atleast 3 units before my semester practical exams begin.We shall talk about all this later.Period.A week before,that is last sunday,I got an invitation via mail to attend an interview for the MicrosoftStudent

A Pinch of Philosophy 2007-09-25 06:57:00 As a deep thinker i have always wondered how fortunate I am to lead such a tranquil life.It is perhaps true that no one is tranquil but the way one takes things in life makes him a mature person.Everyone learns something at a point of time but a man's pride and vanity makes him to stop learning things.Nothing is simple in nature.When researched or looked deeper into,every minute particle's complexities are visible.That's how life goes.A simple thing must never be left uncared.In haste and delusion,man makes the mistake of thinking about the complexities of life and gives prime importance to what he can't get and be what he isn't .Going for the moon when a man has a few pounds in his hands isn't astuteness.Enjoying what mother nature has given us and walking straight past the delusions gives a man complete peace and that is when he attains moksha. "What do i want in life?" is a question i always ask myself.Most people do.If your answer to this question is "Money",then let's take Read more:Philosophy
My views on the Ram Sethu issue 2007-09-23 04:20:00 Recently my friend Vivek wrote an excellent article about the Ram Sethu issue
and i have commented on his article.Cycle tests commence from tomorrow and i won't have time in the future to post articles(atleast for 2 months).I's like you all to read my comment and tell me what you feel.This is a very serious issue and should not be left uncared.It's shame for all Indians!SO please put forward your views
.You can read Vivek's article hereAnd here goes my comment;Excellent article,vivek.I agree with you one hundred percentage.Today's politicians do anything for publicity and MK is no exception.He says he is agnostic but what does he really do?Condeming Hinduism and licking the feets of other religions is his forte.But lemme just ask one question..Who the bloody hell is HE to comment on our religion?Why isnt the country revolting?Why do people keep mum and are self-sentered?This is like encouraging them and giving approval to whatever they do.Isn't it fatuous on MK's part to ask if

Ignorance-my vice? 2007-09-20 22:54:00 I have been ignorant all thru my life and still am.And the sad part is i don't regret it.I have never known real people even existed.I am not a pessimist , no but it's just my basic character that i dont trust people easily.Ofcourse it does come from personal experience but still now,i am not able to change my perceptions about people.Sometimes i feel i am ignorant and stupid and confused for reasons unknown.I am very happy for all i know.But still the art of socialising and getting to know people better give me the creeps.People say i am kind of detached and that's 100% true and i know very well that i am not what people expect from me.I just don't want to get disappointed.When you expect something from someone and when they don't live upto your expectations,you feel all sober and dejected.I am not allowing these things to happen to me,just by being detached.I don't know if it's correct or wrong,but atleast this suits me best.Many take me for an extrovert which is real sad.When
The Big Story 2007-09-16 03:38:00 The Karnataka Government's ban on the sale of cell phones to children below the age of 16 may have aggravated many teens who have accused the government of acting as a "moral brigade" , but interestingly,this has triggered off a debate on how the latest gadgets and equipments pose a threat to people who can't live without them. Various concerns about cell phone usage amongst children causing cancer, brain disorders and impacting the nervous system have been raised by health experts.Rather than debating as to what the karnataka government did was right or wrong we'll see what are the possible ways this technology affects people and ways to prevent them by adhering to strict measures;*Basically,cell phones work by emitting radio frequency radiation thru the antenna on the phone.This antenna lies right next to the BRAIN.*The potential risk of a mobile phone comes from its emission of low levels of RF,the same type of energy that comes from a microwave oven.*The Rf pulses off the dev
My first css template 2007-09-15 20:59:00 I designed my first css template
yesterday with the help of my cousin.He taught me how to use Photoshop and man,photoshop is everything a designer can ask for!I am still intrigued as to how designers create wonders with the software.The features are aplenty and the brushes,whoa!I would suggest you all to learn photoshop asap.Please don't miss it.It makes designing look comparatively easier.As for the css stuff,I didn't have much probelm except for the color codes.As it was my first try,I used the coding of another template and just inserted mine there.I found the work pretty good and have come up with an idea to launch my own blogger templates,simple ones that all can use.I am working on a new blogger template now.The one I did was a classic blogger template.I will share it with you all soon.I also intend to create my designs under the name PeachesnLemons.The blog has been created but i am working on the design.It's fun!Join me on my quest to learning more,Thanks!Like the post?Why d
India Vs Pakistan-!4th September 2007-09-15 20:43:00 India vs Pakistan
exists in a parallel universe, free from the drear of irrelevance. Even a Twenty20 World Championships Group match is not to be spared of the highly polarised interest.This time,when India won in quite an intriguing manner, euphoria was in the air and still is.The boys really did it and what more can an indian ask for?:)India and Pakistan were involved in a bowl-out at the Kingsmead on Friday night after the archrivals played a heart-stopping tie.In the bowl-out, Pakistan's Yasir Arafat, Umar Gul and Shahid Afridi failed to hit the stumps at the other end.Indian bowlers Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and Robin Uthappa hit the wicket each time to give their team a 3-0 win.Kudos,India!Both the teams know that for the millions back home, this is the big one.And Our boys did it!Yahoo!Like the post?Why don't you leave a comment?

Crime and punishment-Fyodor Dostoyevsky 2007-12-11 21:25:00 Before I even begin to post a review this book,I pray for the strength within to bring out words without shedding tears.For,this masterpiece will make you cry.Yes,never in my life have i read a book that has affected me such.Adjectives and phrases seem to fail me on my attempt to write something grandiose about the book.This reviewing attempt of mine,i wish will help you understand the philosophy Dostoyevsky adhered to, "Existentialism" ,which is in a way similar to objectivism.Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikoff,an ex-student who aspires to study,is morbisly self-possessed and faces severe penury.In this state,he murders the old woman money lender,Alena Ivanovna,with a hatcher in a desperate attempt to free himself from poverty.This,he does in a state of delirium and matters turn worse when he kills her sister too ,under unavoidable circumstances.He leaves no traces behind and roams the city of St Petersburg without having qualms.He constantly shudders within following the events that ta

Have I been an objectivist all my life? 2007-12-09 03:13:00 Two months before,i bought "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand.I am reading it now.If you thought i were going to praise the book now,you are wrong.Yes is all i can answer to the question i have raised as the question of the blog post.Have I been an objectivist all my life?YES,but without my knowing it.I never knew about objectivism before and never even heard of it.If anyone were to ask me then what i thought about objectivism i would have said "That's yet another philosophy".But now i say "It's the philosophy governing our lives.Our very soul".I have not read it fully i know but sometimes when you read a book,a voice in you,asks you a simple question."What have you learnt from the book?".At least mine does.Everytime i read a book.I am a voracious reader,yes,but i don't read crap.I know you get me.Every time i read a book,i try to ask this question to myself because, i personally feel i'm closely related to it than anyother thing.I focus my strength,my weakness and my independant soul
