So I am working on composing an 'About Me' page for this blog. And I am sure everyone knows how hard it is to come up with a nice yet true piece about your own self. So I asked a friend for help. Here is what he wrote about me:

End of First Day: Cute, Nice, Sweet, Lively

End of First Week: Complaining, bitchy, "I deserve better", "Why am i stuck here?"

End of One Month: "I Know you help but I dont care, this is expected"

End of Second Month: "I hate this", "I hate that", "I hate everything"


Thanks my friend. This helped.

Stagnant - This word freaks me out, literally! Just the thought of life coming to a halt and me living my life in a strict routine where I don't gain anything or learn anything = gives me goosebumps. Life to me is moving on, doing something new everyday, learning something I didn't know yesterday, seeing something I have never seen before, doing something that I haven't done ever or in a while, and just enjoying it moment by moment.

This weekend I had a chance to have some alone time, and I was in for a surprise... I realised that I was being sucked into the vicious circle of meaningless mechanical life. And that's when I decided that this needs to change! Since then, I have been doing things to bring it back on track - cooked, cleaned, played guitar, read, and am updating my blog. And oh boy I feel good :)

It's wonderful to see what ten minutes of head clearing can do!

Estimado / a todos (Spanish for 'dear all'),

I am very interested in this uber awesome plan, but I am sick :( You see, when you are sick you don't want to go out and even if you do you don't enjoy it as much as you would have otherwise. And hence other people don't enjoy it either. And then they don't like you and stop hanging out with you. And obviously I don't want to deprive my lonely soul of y'alls' wonderful company! Who would any way? (This is a rhetorical question, please don't bother to answer this).

Also, I think Tommy is out to San Antonio on PCI tab. So I propose we meet up tomorrow or the day after (whichever suits you better) and then discuss about all the topics of utmost irrelevance ever known to mankind. Meanwhile, we all will have a chance to take a moment and search the web for fresh non sense to discuss over the table whenever we meet. This way some of us (directly implying Hrishikesh) will not have to hide their phones under the table to google jokes.

Let me know of your thoughts on this. And as always, your suggestions are welcome.

Love, Sowm

P.S. Never mind

Buzz about the Buzz!

You can do a lot of things with Google Buzz, which is great! One of the many things you can do is link your personal websites to your account. I thought it was pretty cool so I linked my blogs etc to my buzz. So now a summary of my blog shows up as my buzz – pretty cool I thought. But wait – what I see here is that everyone started commenting on my buzz, and stopped going to my blog :-O WTH

So now, I shall un-link the websites from my buzz. Now below are the rules, that WE will follow-

  1. I will blog more often (and as you see, I have been trying to be a little more regular with that lately)
  2. I will update my buzz (and twitter) with the link to the blog
  3. You will go to my blog-site and post the comments there

Great! So we are all set then?

Post soon,

Sowm

Eleven reasons why I should buy a TV

Talk about people who don't learn from their mistakes! Yes, I am one of them :( I again lost a post just cz I compiled it in notepad++ and rebooted the machine without saving the document.

So I was writing about why I decided on buying a TV (yes, finally!). Few reasons that motivated me and helped me make this decision were:I don’t have room mates

1. I don't have room mates

2. I don’t have a boy friend

3. I have friends but they are all so talented that they have jobs

4. I love watching movies – and I already have a blockbuster membership

5. I need to catch up with the rest of the world – day to day update you see

6. I want to be left alone at times – so that I can just lie on my couch and watch useless reality shows

7. I want to have girls’ nights often – fruity cocktails, giggles, chick flicks and my girls

8. I want to be able to host drinking video game parties at home

9. There is a huge corner in my living room which is empty and needs something to be put there (yes this argument qualifies cz a TV CAN be put there)

10. A TV will keep me home (hopefully?)

11. I want a TV – Wait, we don’t need any more arguments! This discussion is over!

Well, so we just decided that I NEED a TV. Now the question is what kind. I have everything figured out except, I have a question – is it worth spending extra 200 bucks to get a 120Hz instead of 60Hz? How big is the difference? Suggestions?
