Thank You !!

I just want to thank all of you guys for your wonderful feed back on the facelift that I had given to my blog.
I was really surprised to see that within a week after I made those changes, my follower count was more than doubled!! Yeah true! Absolutely fabulous!! Never did I expect such a warm response from all of you!! I’m humbled by this!! I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Danny Brown especially . It was through reading his articles and blogs did I actually get an idea about the reason why I couldn’t convert the trespassers through my blog into genuine followers!! So a big thank you to you sir.
So once again I thank you all for your wonderful support and response!!
Hoping to keep this space updated more regularly.

Musings ( From the college lab ) - 02

So its my blog after a gap of  four months.

I really am not sure how to go on with this.  Now that I've started i can't go without finishing it..

Four months..  Its been great for me all through these months... A lot many things have changed....personally . And yes my outlook towards life in general has also changed ...





And its bound to happen....

I've been experiencing this overwhelming sense of freedom ever since I got into my college life. The amount of freedom ...was in a scale that i probably wasn't ready for !!

Freedom invariably comes loaded with responsibility. A responsibility that has to be defined by one's on conscience.  In these past months another particular change that is worth mentioning is about the attitude of society in general to me . Well yes, I'm not that kinda public figure who's always under the scrutiny  of  public eyes ... The society I mentioned above includes the people who know me..who deal with me on a day to day basis .... like my relatives... my parents...my school teachers  childhood buddies etc .


( This is getting serious i guess !!  )

And yeah ....   social media networks have made a definite change .   I still remember  how i longed to have an internet connection during my school days just to be in orkut .  And how i used to save money given for me   and go to internet cafes just for being in orkut....  Times have changed ....  Orkut , Facebook all have come and gone.....but yes its still der!!  but I don't have the sort of craze towards those as i had during my school days ( I became a facebook member only after my 12Th board though )...

But something new has come...  which took me by complete surprise...
yeah you guessed it right ...   "  Twitter "



We hear about that a lot these days.  At first , I thought that it was one among those craps that I go along in net !!
But my perception had a dramatic twist later on !!
( And I'm really proud to say that i was probably 200 or 300 TH follower of Shashi Tharoor who later went on to become the Indian with largest number of followers !! )

Its probably the tweeting experience that kept me away from blogging for so long !!

Its Fun & Easy to use  ...

Twitter is one of those radical changes that the social networking has ever  undergone  . Its like what Google did to internet..   Even at this time there are people who consider Google a synonym for internet !!

Anyone who has a mind and has the willingness to express his feelings will automatically find twitter a great medium of exposure to world at large ... one of the most exiting application of twitter is trendsmap which gives us the live feed about what people are talking around the world at that moment !!  actually its that what got me going for twitter.....  http://trendsmap.com/

If anyone's interested to know more you could well start off with clicking the follow me link at the bottom of my twitter update box.

I would really like to see comments on the impact of social networking sites on your lives .

Musings ( From the college lab ) - 01

Well....Well....

A Blog at last...

The fact is that, I stared blogging during my vacation just for the sake of spending my free time .. and after my classes got started I couldn't keep up my blog updated...and the result is that I haven't blogged for more than a month now !!

I know .. there are no excuses for that..but what to do.. I changed the scheme of my internet connection last month from unlimited to limited one...
( So I’m using my Net connection judiciously now )

But a much faster connection !! 2 mbps !!
With my unlimited connection it took about 18 to 19hrs to download one movie but now I can do that in just 1 hour !! Cool na ??

But the sad fact is that I can use only 1 GB per month !!
but considering my usage of internet, it is very much useful...all I need this connection is just to stay in touch with my friends..
+downloading movies
+Music
+Videos
+Twitter
+Blogging.....

Yeah...yeah...the list goes on and on !

For all the guys and gals reading my blog... I have an Information to share !!

This is my first blog which I'm doing right now from my college.

Yeah !! Not from any cafe but from our own computer lab.

Students can use this lab for browsing on Internet !! And the connection here is of incredible speed !!


Actually we have a 2 Hr lunch break on Fridays and right now a SFI meeting is going on especially for the first years... All first years are to be compulsorily be present at drawing room ( where the meeting is going on ) so this is my reason for not attending that...coz if I sit in my class room ...I'm pretty sure that the seniors would come and scoop us from there !!

My college is FANTABULOUS in all its sense ...great freedom ( to the extend that I have not imagined ) and the fun fact is that in my class (M.A - Mechanical Automobile ) there are no gals!!
And its so cool...We guys just rock! ( considering the fact that there were more strikes than the working days this month )

Right now I have been asked by the lab attendant to stop browsing ( as seniors are coming in here for some project work ) so without re-reading anything that I have typed so far , I'm gonna click the post option...

So kindly ignore all the typing, grammatic nonsense that I have managed to do in the stipulated time of my lunch break ....

Peace...

And The Life Goes On


So its been a while since I've blogged something . Its not because I was busy watching movies ( which is obviously one among the many contributing factors ) . The reason can be attributed to the fact that I was busy reading Blogs . Surprised aren't you ?? Well don't get surprised that much ...just go through my reading list and if interested read any one of them. I bet that you will also become its followers..

As far as my personal life goes...My admission procedure is more or less complete..No change from that of the first allotment , at SCT itself !! And yeah Mechanical Automobile is the branch.
I'm exited. Automobiles , especially Cars , have been my passion from childhood..I never had imagined that I would be studying that for my engineering.
The Lamborghini Reventón (Spanish pronunciation: [ɾeβenˈton]) a mid-engined sports car that debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. ... is one of my favourite cars .


Oh...Look at its design man...Fabulus...Its actually a limited edition car        ( only 20 of them )
It costs well over $ 1 million.

Ooh sorry readers ...I just got carried away with my passion !!
Its not so much as a passion ...Fascination would be the right word. And now that I've got actually all my 'future' dealing with these Fabulous AUTOMOBILES .. I'm just damn exited .

Coming back to my personal side...this week has been not so particularly good for me..with some occasional clashes with my parents. That's a part of my life of course..


So on account of all these things Blogging became less imperative for me . After all its just a hobby isn't it ?

And you all might have noticed a change in the over all design of my Blog . Not much worth mentioning , also if you closely observe my Followers list you will see a new member there.

Any way... a " BIG " ( yeah I mean that : ) thank u to you Harini , for being my follower .
I never did really expect that someone ( other than my close friend Sooraj ) would actually be my follower . I'm really motivated by this gesture of yours .

Nothing much worth mentioning .

PEACE ,
Self .
