There are many celebrations, which we do every year. Like, celebrating new year, different personal calendars, religious calendars, social calendars. Many of these engagements are also repetitive in nature, some weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly and even yearly.
How many of these do we celebrate with all our heart and mind set to celebrate it ? And, how many of them do we — each individual — celebrate as a routine, celebrating for the sake of celebration ?
One needs to ponder over it.
Yesterday spent two hours and searched seven shops and then found mint ice cream in Baskin Robbins and Top n Town.
Dinshaws guys looked at each other on asking for mint ice cream.
It has been a long time since I have written anything on my blog. After coming back to Nagpur from Dubai, the frequency has also decreased a lot. Hopefully will start writing frequently again.
While driving on roads, many time I think that I will be writing this today, but then I get busy with daily chores of life and just forget to pen it down.
After living for 3+ years in Dubai, UAE and then coming back to Nagpur, India, I have found many small tiny differences in the life style of people in general — “the public”. These tiny differences, gather on and count on to make a huge difference, which is very well visible and many a times pains a lot. For e.g. driving your vehicles without following any traffic rules and causing disturbances to all, sometimes this may result in fatal accidents too. Throwing your garbage on the road. Parking (almost 80%) in the wrong manner / places.
I hope to continue writing on this and many more issues and hope that this will eventually change to better. Change is the Only constant.
About a fortnight ago, I sold my old laptop which I had bought sometime ago, and bought a new one. Dell Inspirion Mini 1012. It came with a years warranty and 3 year extra warranty from the place I bought it.
It was shipped with Windows 7 starter version with license and the hard disk was a single huge partition. I installed ubuntu on it. Then thought if I can get the partitions created by the company personnel itself. The 3 year warranty was with software issues. But the company refused to handle the case, as they said it has to be with Windows ONLY.
Anyways, I got it partitioned and installed Windows 7 again. Yesterday, I coiped the Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop ISO on the E drive, downloaded the wubi installer to C driver, and it found out tiself the iso file and installed Ubuntu in flat 10 mins. It was great.
So, a happy ending: Windows 7 and Unbuntu 10.04 co-exist on the same hard drive partition!
This weeks Google Analytics is something like this:
I am grateful to all the regular and new visitors. The statistics are quite impressive.
Many of my regular readers may have thought that I am going to speak about *some* sun setting and going to compare it with sunset, but my friends I am writing about a sunset perfectly captured in the below photograph.
This photograph was captured by simple Nokia 5310 Xpress Music phone with a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels at Alibag beach in Mumbai.
I liked the photograph very much, especially because it captures various life moments. The sun setting, its reflection in the vast water body, its reflection in the sky, the tree, blue sky, people strolling, sitting idle, a horse ride. It has everything in it.
Yesterday, we had our lunch called from Pizza Hut. It was a MEAL for six order.
The bill says: MAIL for six.
Which english is this ?
Recently (not exactly recently) gmail has started to display location names of the ip address your gmail account is used.
Some days ago it started showing my ip location as South Africa instead of UAE. But now, it showed me using gmail from India instead of UAE and then again from South Africa. I have attached the snapshot here.
I hope gmail guys are reading.
