Hey guys, so it's official!!! I was thinking that it was only me who was suffering from this vexing infection. But I came to know that even people in Britian have been taken over by it (See P.S. for more info.) It has been named WILFING, meaning 'What was I Looking For'
To describe it, first I shall tell about some of it's symptoms so that you people could find out if you too have contracted it.
* Reading random blogs and clicking away on new websites ?
* Have you been recently spending more time on the net than at telly?
* You were Studying on your laptop but suddenly you got bored and started surfing, just to find out 4 hrs. later that you've wasted all your time...
So, if your answer to these are yes...then CONGRATS, WELCOME to the club of NET ADDICTS. Folks, I'am sorry to say this but many of us are just wasting precious time just wandering aimlessly on the net. I too am no exception to it. My favourite site for wilfing 'was' wikipedia.org. But, of late I'am happy to say that I've been taking the medicine and trying to curb this useless habit.
MEDICINE: I don't know if others will agree with it, but this was what I did. Just while connecting my LAN cord to my laptop, I just plan how much time I shall use the net and for what purpose am I going to use it...Though this sounds pretty restrictive, I found that it works.
Fellow 'wilfers' please share your thoughts with me and suggest a better solution, if you have one.
P.S.: To read more about it, go to this news item. You will be surprised by the bare facts.

Recently we were discussing the topic of self-confidence when one of my friends came up with a 'hack' as to how we should conquer our inner demons. She outlined three things which a person should do
* Dont care two hoots: Dont try to impress others. Instead try to get your things done. Be your self.
* Self-Talk: Tell yourself, point out where and why you failed the last time, practice, do it in a much better way the next time round.
* Excel in Something: Every individual has an unique ability in his own right. The catch is that not many folks realize this. Be among the pantheons in something or the other. This will give you a shot of self-belief.
Perhaps....the above blabber can be unintelligible to some people...but i've recorded them because, thinking retrospectively, I feel I myself have been following them for sometime now.
Why the hell isn't my blog being indexed by google...
You know, that we get some sort of smug feeling if we find our personal site being listed in the search queries...
Being a computer science student, i can guess the solution...
my site has to be, in someway or the other, "connected" to the outside world wide web...
towards that end let me do one thing,,, i will do one thing...list all my favourite domains here....
cricinfo.com
yahoo.com
ibnlive.com
news.google.com
sports.yahoo.com
thehindu.com
let's see what will happen....i think we have to be patient about it, wont happen overnight because this is just one normal html page in the billions and billions of page which the robots have to crawl...
poor fellows!!!
keeping my fingers crossed now....
meanwhile i will grapple with how to insert smiley emoticons in my blog
signing off...
N.B. Writing a blog about that eventful day of april 5th, 2007.... will be publishing it shortly
Recently one ad of Reebok has come out which I found very nice and intriguing..
It has a picture of Dhoni holding a cricket bat looking very driven and focussed and a pithy phrase running across his photo
Pictures on Page 3 wont keep the scoreboard ticking
Their caption was
IT IS THE GAME THAT MATTERS
Very much correct...
After all, you can be having so much publicity and blandishment but ultimately you shouldn't be carried away by all the hype. One should have his feet on the ground and apply himself to the work at hand diligently...
TIME!!!
This is the second four-letter word which is the single-most influential and controlling factor in the world (No prizes for guessing the first one ;). From the start of the day at 10 am to the end of the day at 1 am this is the overarching element upon which many, if not all, of my day's activities revolve...
I, being one of those only few in the world who knows the value of time, always strive for efficient time management and the most abhorrent thing that i could find is someone just whiling away their time without knowing why they are doing it..
I'am not saying that one shouldnt indulge or go for a pleasure binge...(for that matter, who am i to say who is to do what ).
If you ask me to put the whole thing in 2 crisp senteces, it goes like this...
"Dont do things just for the sake of doing them...Before doing anything contemplate whether it would be useful to you and if it would help you in acheiving your goals"
( I somehow have this feeling that i'm sounding didactical???.....Is it!!?!
As always, i'm bemused....
Anyways, the title of the blog and it's content (till now ) have had no correlation whatsover...
Let me start off on the actual thing... )
Till now this was what my perspective on Time was...But recently i stumbled upon another stupendous quality which it had....Its soothing effect.
As you might be guessing now, i was really really pained by a person, whom i cannot name, sometime back...I felt like hell after the incident...I was aggrieved, embarrassed, ashamed... after a long time i cried!!! even got some crazy ideas which i cannot even reveal...(left to yer imagination ) The next few days, and even weeks, i was always being reminded of that bad experience every now and then...
Then slowly one unusual change started gradually happening...I was somehow feeling less and less bad.... i mean more and more better.... i started thinking positively...to quote one of them.."after all life doesnt revolve round just one person or thing...there are still bright things in life"... got my confidence back...started my overbearing attitude again...
over time i got back what i lost. this is the long and short of it....
here comes the tricky part...
is it actually "healing" that is taking place or is it the case of our brains slowly forgetting the old memories and being refreshed with new ones...has the pain been "forgotten" or has it been "healed"...Or is it the that i've simply accustomed myself to it that it no longer rankles me...
Did you people understand even an iota of what i've spoken or is it like some nitwit crap..
time for me is a heaven-sent..
so isn't it expedient that this time-conscious blogger dedicates his one whole precious hour ( yes..full 3600 sec !!) for "penning" down about something he values the most...
Which of the two is better? Google's "blogger.com" or Yahoo's "geocities.com"...
Well it took me more than 2 months to answer this question.
Initially for sometime i used blogger but after sometime i found myself miffed because of so many technical problems it was giving and the lack of options compared to geocities..
So i used blogger for 1 whole months. Smugly wrote some blogs, made my friends forcibly read them and later one day at the insistence of my crazy gut instinct deleted the whole blog..
Moved to geocities for sometime...but found out that thing sucks more than this and finally i'm here writing this "first blog" again...
