Its strange

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

I am amazed at how my going away from home has led mom to try her hand at computers, something which she never did even when her brother was settled abroad for most of his life.

Its cute to find her struggling with mails, inadvertently turning the caps on and still trying to understand the nuances of chatting.

Cant explain …

Dunno if I am more amused or happy :)

Its called addiction !

Jag ja ri gudiya from Omkara

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

Imagine having this song as a wake up call…

If you have heard this song you would know what it is. I have always fantasized of someone singing this song to me while waking me up. But since that seems like a distant reality, I have my cell sing this to me to wake me up.

This is my alarm ring now, and somehow it manages to bring a smile on my face every morning when I wake up to this beautiful piece.

Jo chahe le lo dashrath ka vaada
naino se kholo ji raina
o ri rani gudiya jag ja
ari jag ja, moyi jag ja….

Yet another step…

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

I was so upset the last time I wrote a proper post that I had actually taken a sort of vow to not write for a while as I felt so disgusted by the whole issue.

Anyways…the point being, whenever I am down and out, I do well. How ironic! I perform best under pressure, I do double the work when I am angry and I am open to new things when I shut myself. And ever since I got this new PC there have been great learnings instore for me every week. Things that I so wanted to do but was scared and even skeptical at times to take it up.

So for another technical update, I have started using torrents !
Torrents are, must say, brilliant stuff. Seen seven movies in ten days. One in hall, 6 on computer after downloading them through torrents. And another one is on its way of downloading.

The movies I saw :
Before sunrise
Before sunset
Requim for a dream
The departed
Little Miss Sunshine
Love actually
Heyy babyy (Hall)

“Memento” is the one which is downloading right now.

I have also started helping people on Yahoo answers. And I already have 24 of my answers being chosen as Best answers in less than a weeks time !

Updates on personal front: Amazed at the strict financial control I am able to exercise on myself, making truce with myself, trying to forgive n seek forgiveness, cant believe I am gymming regularly and still in search for ways to keep my boredom at bay.

Like I once told this friend of mine while describing myself

I am one hyperactive kid :)

My technical advancements

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Ok, this post is an update to the one I wrote a few days back.

Now I

  • Work on a P4 Windows XP(dont you dare ask me what was I using earlier)
  • Have downloaded Picasa to upload my humungous picture files (finally may I add!!)
  • Learnt to use Gaim software for IM (Isnt as great as I thought it would be)
  • Enjoy an internet connection with a speed of 3mb/sec (no I didnt switch connection/ plan)
  • And most importantly

  • Enjoy Youtube videos without any delay/ crack in voice or distortion of video due to slow processor speed
  • Thats one thing I so wanted to do on my comp. Watch a video on Youtube without any interruption / delay. And thats the first thing I did when I started the Internet on my new machine.

    But now despite the fact that I have all of it, all that I so admired on others machines, I still am not happy. Cos I so wanna shout scream n share, which I cant.

    Most technologically experimental 24 hours

    Sunday, August 26th, 2007

    I am a keen learner, but I am very lazy when it comes to doing technical stuff. I have relied a lot on friends to do it for me so far…. And when pushed against the wall, I really took it upon myself to do it on my own and walk the untreaded paths .

    In the past 24 hours I have managed to

  • download a 700mb file (never dared to do that before)
  • download flashget to download that 700 mb file (never knew you can download a software to facilitate the download of files!!)
  • format a PC
  • prepare bootable floopy disk and cd
  • tried to install Windows
  • tried to install Linux, even when I havent ever worked on that platform
  • used DOS after ages and worked on it (those commands seem so irritating now after the windows GUI)
  • request a password change with godaddy
  • Phew ! Thats really too much for me.

    (more…)
