Fish Eye Lens

A wonderful Saturday, it was. Really, it was a bright and sunny wintery day. Got up on time, because I slept on time. Spent some time in cleaning the dust, laundry, cleaning my car. I had to go to our business party at 6, was late by an hour due to some expected and unexpected problems. Thanks to friends who waited for me to show up late.

PS: to make it even better, India won the match against Australia.

nϋvifone – the phone with f (and two stars on u) and every good thing stays intact in n. So finally Garmin has done what all of us were waiting with lot of anticipations and eagerness. It is integration of an indispensable mobile phone, a utility nϋvi GPS and other popular Google tools to use with mobile web. Of course, you have to subscribe to a mobile phone service with mobile web to use it to the fullest (like all other mobile phones) but GPS is free (unlike all other mobile phones). The perfect Thanksgiving gift to say thanks to self for all the hard work done in the year 2008 :o)

Unlike Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk has no option for a user to get into invisible mode. A Gtalk user can block someone to stop him/her from seeing that user on Gtalk. But this also stops  the user from seeing the status of the blocked user. Here comes some people who think this is ridiculous. They say why cannot Google simply has a simple time-tested mechanism of allowing invisible mode.  The answer is, Google is made of really smart people who believe in equality in information exchange in this Information era where information is the most important thing. They think that www is like a mirror, you can only see someone if that someone can see you.  Isn’t this the simplest approach and also a fair one. If you do not like someone to see you online on Gtalk, then you better not  add them.  Unless you think you are a CEO of some company and most of your friends are jobless people because in that case you do not want them to see you online and start messaging you disturbing you from your important business matters.  You can choose your friends, but you cannot choose to hide from them unless circumstances are extraordinary and if you do then what I can I say, your wish, it s  a free country. It is surely negligible thing yet worth a comment.

We all have things to tell and talk, then why do some people blog and not others? Here are my ten picks:

1.       There are some people who seek attention and a willing audience for themselves.

2.       There are some people who do it just because it is a fad.

3.       There are some people who want to share some information which they think can be useful for other Google searchers.

4.       There are some people who do not have many people around them to talk what they want to talk.

5.       There are some people who gets a place to talk sexual topics, very honestly, but equally promiscuously.

6.       There are some people who love maintaining journals and who have interest in writing since their childhood, so they find it a very nice opportunity.

7.       There are some people who are always up for trying new technologies and contributing to them, so that some of them can become regular feature of life later on.

8.       There are some people who start it just for fun and fad, but do discover their interest in writing.

9.       There are some people who get thrilled by seeing a publication of their small-small stories, just equally eye-pleasing as other information portals mushroomed all over the www.

10.   There are some people who never say they do not have time, because having time is like having a glass with half water, it is half empty as well as half full.

So they are Bored, Lazy, Outlier, Generous, Groovy, Emancipated and still Reserved (at varying proportions). They are BLOGGERs.
