Ok folks i am back!!! Rayboy tagged me today, and i guess i ought to thank him, as it was kind of a wake up call for me after almost a year long duration of hibernation. For those of you who kept on saying “What happened to your blog? Start posting again…” here i am, back in action. (I hope)

First the Rules for the Tag:

1. Link the person(s) who tagged you (Rayboy)
2. Mention these rules on your blog.
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them.
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged.

The Quirks Follow:

1. I am a total “Mommy’s Girl” she babies me so much (she does that till date and i absolutely love it) that sometimes unknowingly i speak my tweet baby talk in places i ought not to. So many people out here who can vouch for this…

2. I am a total Introvert, so much so that when i go out with “my” friends, I end up making my Husband do all the talking and entertaining…while i escape into a world of my own.

3. I am a R & D Fanatic, I cannot do without a pc/laptop and a good connection to the internet. Its my favorite passtime to go looking for stuff and i dont stop till i find what i am looking for, and end up finding loads of other stuff along the way.

4. Though sometimes i do think of myself as a Multi-tasker, the fact is that i am not. I cannot do two things at one time, i need to concentrate totally on what i am doing at that particular time and then move on to the next, and if you have been talking to me while i was working, you can be sure that i didnt hear a word of what you said.

5. I am night person, i could remain awake all night and sleep all day, sadly the world doesnt work that way, unless i had a job in the United States of America or perhaps Canada, but was working from Kuwait…wouldnt that be awesome????

6. I hate change…ever changing things like rivers, chameleons, attitudes etc. dont get my vote. I like things to be normal…though it almost always never like that.

Its Tag Time !!!

Its been over a year that i have been here in Kuwait, and like a lot of other goans who are away from home, am missing Goa a lot. All Goans will surely agree that theres no other place like Goa anywhere in the world, after all… Home is where the heart is…

Even when i was in Goa, i always had this inclination to listen to old konkani music. When i was a kid (many may relate to this) we would switch on the radio on sunday evenings and listen to the lovely konkani songs and the Tiatrs (Konkani plays) and at the end of it all i would give my performance and  entertain the entire family. Over the years I lost touch with these songs that were close to my heart , the radio was substituted with the television. Newer media overtook the minds of people in an ever/rapid changing world…till some years ago when memories of the days gone by floated back and i tried looking for those songs, but to no avail.

Recently a very kind person, took the trouble of uploading some very old nostalgic songs, taken from movies like Nirmonn and Amchem Noxib on to YouTube and my joy knew no bounds. One song that totally captured my heart was “I lost my heart to you” from the movie “Amchem Noxib”, it was a total nostagic moment for me, complete with all the goosebump effects. Both these movies are available in Goa and i cant wait to go back home and purchase my copies.

 Thank you Mr. Joe – all the trouble you’ve taken is highly appreciated.

I am a total internet person, i cannot imagine not being logged on or having access to the net. I am lucky that i am in the IT field and so this necessitates that i have access to the internet. Being disconnected from the internet is like being disconnected from the world…

I spend major of my available time on the net just doing R&D (Research and Development) and while doing this if i am lucky i come across a lot of useful websites. One such website that i have been visiting often is Esnips. It’s a place where you can upload different digital file formats be it pictures, ebooks, music, videos etc. and share them with others. Registering is as easy as 1-2-3 and once you are done, you not only have 5GB space at your disposal to upload stuff onto the site, but unlimited download capacity as well.

I’ve recommended this site to all of my friends looking out for miscellaneous stuff. I am so used to this site by now, its like a best friend ever-ready to help me out. A lot of my close friends who are aware of my R & D skills ask me to look out for e-books for them, these range from educational texts like Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) to fictional texts like Paolo Coelho’s “The Alchemist”. A must for all the book worms out there…get connected and be ready to download your favorite e-books, and all you music lovers, i am sure you’d find songs you’ve been looking for, be it the original song or a karaoke version of it.

I came across this site about a month ago, and boy was i glad i found it. The site is literally what the topic says…Life is explained in the form of videos. The site has various videos ranging from topics relating to Health, Medicine, Jobs, Environment, Food and Drinks, Beauty hints, Education, Family and Parenting, Safety and Survival, Technology and Gadgets… etc.

When we usually look up for information or help on the internet to able to get something right….maybe a recipe we need to cook for a party or how to fix something or maybe something as normal as how to fold a t-shirt(…look it up) Video jug is the answer. I have seen websites giving instructions on how to go about doing certain things, but the end result really doesnt turn out to be the same as what you see on the screen. But with VideoJug it can get no easier when u can actually watch and follow the steps as you go along.

A great site, with a lot of handy hints for guys as well as gals alike. Life sure gets easier after this.

Call it Romanticism or just a movie buff (of which i am neither actually) but one movie which is very hard to forget is “A Walk in the Clouds”. Produced in the year 1995, by the Zucker brothers, staring Keeanu Reeves and  Aitana Sánchez-Gijón as the main casts.

A must watch if you are the kind who is non-violent by nature and dont like to watch all the aggression and violence and vehemency portrayed in some of the movies nowadays, movies which have become a thrill for youngsters and middle-aged people alike to watch. We have plain forgotten about the essence of what a real movie is or rather was, and this particular movie takes you back to the 1940′s and brings about the aura of realism and beauty and serenity. You learn a lot too, you can actually understand the “making of the wine”… the movie runs you through how wine is actually made and the different processes involved.

All in all its a lovely movie, nice music, very romantic, a lil informative, teaches you about traditions and how far one can go to live up to them…

I’ve watched it 3 times already and still aint tired of watching it. I have been looking for a copy of the movie for many years now, and just recently a very dear person made it available for me. “Thank you so much for watching it with me, even though it wasnt your kinda movie…”

Happy watching… 

 Hey all, was thinking of owning a blog for a very long time now and I always put it off for later, until now when a friend finally helped me set up one. I intend posting everyday stuff out here, things i come across, things that have been recommended to me by others, funny stuff to bring on smile on a lousy day, useful tips (if i come across any) but mostly indolent wanderings of my mind.

I can really write a lot, over the years working in the IT field, I’ve had access to a PC (Naturally!!) and the point here is that…(i know i have a point) of late i have forgotten how to write, as in, with pen and paper. The act of typing has been so regular that holding a pen and writing on a sheet of paper has been a task in itself and not mentioning the handwriting going from bad to worse. So now that i have a blog i am going to give up on the “ancient” method of writing (no no am not talking about the Papyrus and the ancient egyptian scripts) and stick to typing, which is faster and much less effortless.

So here it is… my very first post. All comments are welcome.
