Again get back by posting some good reasons for not blogging in the last few days.

Cellphones

I hated owning a cellphone but had to and relented. Thats more than one year now that i am one of the millions of people around the globe using a cellphone. If owning one was a big problem avoiding the question of ‘when am I going to get it upgraded to the latest snazzy one’ has become another one.

I never used any thing more than calling up someone or receive a call and that occasional SMS. I know people who are addicted to SMSing but i always felt hearing a voice was much better option. Coming to the point, when I would get a new cellphone–not in the near future. Why? simple what do I get out of it.

• I spend another extra few thousand rupees to get a snazzy phone
• Spend some time on it surprising myself with all the inbuilt features—which I know aren’t much use to me
• Pass it on to friends and people who as usual would ask me some mandatory questions—how much did it cost, where did I get it, what it allows me to do
• And most importantly why I couldn’t stop for a few days more to lay my hands on that latest piece from another company

Well I wouldn’t mind some peace of mind with all modes of communication getting disrupted for a few days.

What To Blog About?

Thats a classic question for many wannabe bloggers. Now what should a blog really have in it. Your personal opinions on something, complaints, criticisms, your dreams. It could be anything which you are comfortable putting up, really easy. However, the thought of what others would think about it should have forced hundreds (may be thousands) of people to delete their well constructed posts. There is nothing to worry as long as you want to blog on something. The only important thing i believe is just what you want to do with your blog, and forget about the rest.

Yes a bit of caution is not pull yourself into troubles by touching sensitive issues or confidential matters.

Happy blogging.

The Monsoon Sets In

Nothing beats the thrill of having the cool breeze hit you in the monsoon season. The season has just set in here and it was a wonderful day for travelling. Isn’t it a surprise that you can get so many thrilling things in life for free without any strings attached.

Whenever i feel the cool breeze hitting me i actually forget every other worry and have a sense of ecstasy set in. Nature is best, when left untouched and blessed are those who can experience it in the most purest form. It is our responsibility that we care about it and make sure we put in our bit of effort for safeguarding the nature.

And yes we can do our bit to save energy, check out this 50 Steps to Stop Global Warming.

Dogs, Attacks And Justice

Happened to witness a scary scene right before my house today night.

A family of four were passing by my house when a boy aged around 12 years stopped by to free himself. My neighbour who had just returned to his home opened the gate and out leapt his dog which went running madly at the family. The boy who had just joined his family couldn’t get away in time and the dog caught hold of his neck as the boy fell down. Poor chap luckily managed to free himself from the dog soon but not before blood started gushing out of his neck. Even after that the dog was running behind him and he was screaming like anything. Scary i would say.

Imagine a ferocious looking dog catching hold of your neck, blood gushing out from your neck and seeing a mad dog eye to eye. We are a reactive society at most times and wait for something to happen for even thinking of taking some action. Well as of now the boy is in the hospital getting treated for the dog bite while the dog is happily resting.

Pray that the boy gets well soon and the dog too. By the way have to go through the book “Dogs of Justice” by Nina Sibal.

Towards a Greener Planet

Today is just another day for many people which will pass by as a normal day. Not many even know today is World Environment Day.

We all as responsible citizens can do the minimum do save our planet earth. Just think about these things – How many of us bother to

• Switch off our computer monitors, electrical appliances, and lights when not in use (even if its for a few seconds)
• Refuse a plastic cover to carry things
• Think about our contribution to make this a more clean and healthier place to live
• Think of the alternatives which can save lot of energy

And yes we have the time to bother about so many other things, but yes a small initiative can do wonders, remember a storm also starts with a raindrop.

We don’t need to run around the city asking people to save the planet, even thinking about these things is enough to walk on the right path.

Come lets make this a better place to live and love.
