Link has a lot of bugging memories :)

The bug is cute. The singing is cute. I wish it was longer. Hehe could end up being very bugging but it would be worth the annoyance :)

This is a joke...

Supreme Court refuses to go easy on hate community created on Orkut

The Supreme Court has refused to quash criminal proceedings against a computer science student who created a hate community, ‘I hate Shiv Sena’, on social networking site Orkut, where a member of the community, which is over 500-strong, posted a death threat against Sena chief Bal Thackeray, while others accused the Sena chief and his party of dividing the country on religious, caste and regional lines, reports Telegraph.

I am really sad about what kind of justice system our country has. Firstly I don't find this logical. It's like filing a case on Ratan Tata cause terrorists entered the Taj and killed innocent people there. And of course everyone knows that hotels are sort targets. Especially after so many attacks globally. Makes sense? No it doesn't.

Anyway my issue isn't about who gets charged or not (which in itself is a VERY SERIOUS issue) but why the justice system feels like a joke to me today is that people who actually lead to people dying are roaming around freely and here you catch some poor kid and tell him he has to face charges cause he created some community and a death threat was posted there.

Seriously where is our sense of trival and non-trivial?

Why is it that real criminals are not behind bars and the justice system doesn't work so hard to put them behind bars?

Why is it that if there was any other community where there was a death threat against a common man, we won't see 'justice' or at least such quick 'justice'?

It just makes me sad...

Hooked onto Nitin Sawhney's Koyal...

Don't love all of Nitin Sawhney's music but totally love this song.

Enjoyyyyy

Not having enough money to do as you please is a terrible way to live....

I don't mean in the manner where one has enough money to be a 'spend-thrift' all the time. But if money is needed it should be there. If it's not then life just sucks.

Totally loving Google Maps...

I have used Google Maps in the past but only recently saw the whole 'street view' and traffic information and local transport options.

The good thing is that some of these are even present outside of the US so it seems that Google's objective is to give these features globally (to whatever extent they can) as and when possible.

Of course there is a down side to everything but I can't wait for Google Maps to do all of this in India.


I am obviously wondering if Google can monetize maps some more other than just Local Business Ads. Even their API is free. Man if AdWords wasn't as big as it is, I wonder if Google would have been able to do whatever it does today.

Gmail has ruined me

The problem with having unlimited storage space is that I don't end up deleting any emails anymore.

How does it matter you ask? Well anything that isn't needed/wanted should be thrown away no matter how much space you have for it.

Too cool - http://sendchris2space.com/animal_splicer.html

It's so sad that we couldn't mix and match animals to make new species when we were young :(

CSI tonight at 11 only on AXN :D :D :D

Oh I so totally love CSI.

I also love AXN.

Made my day.

Sad at another exit. Jorja Fox looked old.

Love Grissom.
[Can just about stand Max and totally dislike Horacio]

Anyway finallyyyyyy a show that I can follow weekly on TV. And I am so glad that it is CSI.

Shes taking her time making up the reasons to justify all the hurt inside...

Line from 'To the moon and back' by Savage Garden.

Not a huge fan of theirs but totally love this song.

Pleaseeee own a fire extinguisher....

We sort of had a fire incident (electric) in our house. Thankfully no major damage. I keep telling mom we need to own a fire extinguisher. And her standard answer is 'what's the use they expire' and me and my sis get really annoyed at that. Once it expires you buy a new can. Simple. But no.

Lets hope this fire was enough to make her listen to us.

Please own a fire extinguisher.

People aren't stupid. They are just too busy or too distracted to care as much as you do about the stuff you care about.

Read this in Seth Godin's book 'Small Is The New Big'.

I absolutely loved the book (or at least as much as I read). It's tragic I didn't finish it. I totally recommend it.

Regret

Of all the things I wished I had started earlier in life, reading a newspaper would be somewhere on the top of the list.


(Reading in general too but I honestly believe I had some form of a learning disability when I was younger and hated reading so much that I wouldn't wish I did more of it as a kid)

What a totallyyyy wasted day...

It's been such a huge waste of a day that I can't even believe it.

Especially since there were so many thing I was suppose to do. I mean I canceled an appointment for today just so I could go ahead with my earlier made plans.

Was suppose to go for an introduction to the Landmark Forum this morning. But woke up at 8:30 with a back ache so thought I'd sleep for another half an hour and then rush to make it there by 10. Forgot to set an alarm for 9 and woke up at 9:45 by an SMS of the friend who invited me asking if I was making it or not. Well even if I ran out in my PJs I wouldn't have made it because it would take at least 18 minutes in a taxi with no traffic and green signals all the way.

Woke up at 11:40 and messaged my cousin to confirm our movie plans and she said she couldn't make it because she had to go out.

Figured I'd just land up at the Kala Ghoda Festival since I barely saw anything yesterday but the 2 people I asked couldn't make it. So I decided no issues, I'll go myself but had to wait for my parents to get home and they got back at 5 but which time I was already lazy to go. Plus had to help my sis get ready for her friends Sangeet party (talk about role reversal - could never have imagined myself helping someone get dressed up etc. Not that I did much). By the time she left it was 6ish and KGAF plans were totally out the door. So ended up watching lots of TV - USELESS TV.

It's quite funny that when I was doing important things in life, I didn't mind wasting time watching some rubbish on TV but now that I don't have important things to do, I find myself irritated when there is nothing to watch on television. In the last couple of months I have surfed channels (to catch a program rather than to avoid ads) like never before. And while on the surface this seems so silly I think it is logical. When I was doing something important most of the time, watching TV was a relaxing activity. It didn't matter what was on, because I wasn't watching TV with any objective other than to watch TV but now I am so relaxed most of the time, I don't need additional relaxation. Instead if I am watching TV, it has to add value. It can't be anything random and crap.

Anyway henceforth I swear to never have such a totally wasted day ever again unless I want a day to be like that - meaning by choice.

Not really photoshop but close enough.

http://www.pixlr.com

Thanks to some show on MTV I came across Pixlr. I haven't checked it out in detail (since I already have Photoshop CS on my machine) but from whatever little I saw of it, I am sure that it is a great free photo editing tool and better than other such tools out there.

Do check it out. You can do more than just edit photos of course. You can use it just like you would use Photoshop.

The super power of poking eyes out.

I was in a train some weeks ago (this post is long over due) and a train just came into the next platform and the announcer mentioned that this was a 'Ladies Special' train to Borivali (or some other place I don't remember). And there are these 2 girls. They looked like college kids so I am assuming that they wouldn't be over 17-18 years of age. One looks to the other and says (with disdain) 'Ladies Special? I didn't even know they have such trains. As if a ladies compartment wasn't bad enough'. Her other friend had the same kind of scorn on her face.

I felt like going up to them both and shaking them. I was thinking 'wow how retarded could these girls be? If she is so keep to maybe travel all the way home with some stupid crush she has, she can just get into the general compartment. Why is she even bothering with the ladies compartment? So silly. So naive'. And in that moment my anger and shock turned to happiness for those girls. The only reason the girl who made the statement, would make such a statement would be if she had never been a victim of harassment. I couldn't believe I was in front of a 16 year old who hadn't faced hearing lewd comments, having men brush past on purpose, being followed (stalked), being stared etc etc. I mean it was the only logical explanation. This girl was either one very lucky girl or very oblivious to what happened around her.

I remember getting of the train thinking how I wished that she could always make a face of disgust at the thought of a Ladies Special Train.

I don't know any woman who hasn't face some sort of harassment because of her gender. It is very jarring when men just stare, or make comments, or brush past etc. What is more torturous is when women can't do anything when such instances happen. I love women who slap a guy in the middle of anywhere rather than freeze in shock and watch some ass**** walk away.

I remember being at a station with these 2 friends of mine and the female friend says 'oh man that guy is following me' and she goes on to explain how she saw him the day before at the station and that morning. He even tried to talk to her but she just walked away. And there he was just waiting on the platform. We saw a bunch of trains pass by but he didn't get on. Our male friend couldn't believe that the guy was waiting for this friend to get to that side of the platform so that either he could approach her again or get onto the train she got onto. And he was more shocked when she said that she once had a guy follow her from the station right up to her building. Both of them already knew my scare story (which I am not going to share here :)) and I decided to do a little survey. The next day 4 out of 5 of my friends told me that they had been stalked (well at least followed) at some point of time.Not only is it uncomfortable but it is VERY scary. I don't get why some men think they have the right to do anything they like.


The post title because -
Whenever I used to get asked what sort of super power would you want, as a kid I would give various answers. When I grew up though I thought the question was stupid and wouldn't bother even thinking forget answering. Till one day it struck me that if I could have a super power, it would be to poke the eyes out of the people I wanted.

There are just too many people out there to just stare. I hate it. I think most women would hate it. [I honestly don't understand how women change their outlook if the guy staring at them is good looking. I mean WTF. Staring is staring. How can you be happy about it?]. And whenever I get stared at or women/girls around me get stared, I wish I could just poke the ass***** eyes out. 'You can't help but stare? Here let me help you. *Poof eyes gone*. There you want have the problem or not being able to look away anymore'.


Anyway I could go on and on. Post didn't come out the way I wanted but doesn't matter. Just thinking about the injustice women face on a daily basis tires me.



P.S. - I do wish I had some super powers....If anyone is in a position to give, I am ready to take :)

AlooTechie has got it right...

They give you NEWS in 5 sentences. I mean it's brilliant how you get to know everything you would need to know just by reading their feeds. No wasted time on irrelevant things. And if you are super interested in any particular article you can just Google it and find a site with more details.

I think AlooTechie has the most brilliant format. It helps me stay updated with whatever I need to know easily and quickly.

I'd like one of these :)

How cool right...

:D

I don't have a problem with googling something...my problem starts after google gives back some results...

Hehe

It's true.

I'm very lazy. Especially when it comes to reading up on things (unless I have major interest in the topic but even then it is still tough)

So Sanjeev stop telling me to 'Google it' when I ask you a question.

On nights like these...

(yesterday) I can see the stars shine bright.

Oh how I hate light pollution some days.

If you don't understand it, it doesn't mean you should reject it...

From The Secret.

Of courseeeeeeeeee I have huge issues trying to digest this one but it makes logical sense right...

"its like now u have a ferrari deeps"...

This is what a friend said when I mentioned that I wouldn't know what to do with 250 GB of space and that I would have need a max of like 20 or something.

He said that line and said you can't drive a ferrari at 25.

Hehe very true. So I guess I will download or borrow music, movies, documents, etc to fill up my external drive :P

Thanks for the hard drive :)

I am now the proud owner of a 250 GB Hard Drive.

Got it as a gift. So kick ass.

:D

Mr.A says 'wow who ever heard of a girl getting a 250 GB external hard drive as a gift. Isn't it usually flowers or perfumes or something?'

Hehe what can I say. I got cool friends :)
