Thanks to VV

Thanks to VV, my blog got a new look! :) Here is how.

On Saturday evening as I was surfing through blogs, I came across this blog whose template I noticed has been changed. I didn't feel the new template was a good one and put a comment on that blog regarding the same. In reply I was asked if I could help in renovation of that blog. Long ago, I had bookmarked few sites where good templates could be found. And I was to find one for my blog in future from these sites. So, I emailed this list to VV.

Then I thought, let me also find a good template, enough of postponding. After spending few minutes, I got a nice template. It had a very pleasing header picture. But I did't like its body. So spend next few minutes to modify that. Later on I realised it was futile to do so and decided to modify my old minimal template by myself! :) And the end result is what you see.

Thanks VV. :)

What's your wish?

I watched Aladin last night, and came to think of wishes.

All of us have some wishes, and even if they are many, we would like to believe they are just a few! :) In the past as well, you must have had them. Some of them got fulfilled and made you happy. Though, the joy might have lasted for few hours or so. Some of them didn't get fulfill and you were sad. But after sometime (may be years), you realised it was good, infact very good that they didn't get fulfill and that made you happy.

Even though, we have been having so many wishes, so different from eachother, since the time we got to know to wish, isn't there something common in all of them? Are we in search of something? Is our each wish an attempt to get that something?

I am not able to figure out that! Can you?

The President is coming

The roads are more darker. The dividers more brighter. Men in uniform at every corner and non-corner. Gates closed. Routes diverted. Parking shifted. Being requested to show ID card. Campus under intense scanning and surveillance. We are thrilled. The President is coming to my workplace!

Waka Waka Poem

Came across this on internet!

First, the poem itself (there are many versions, this is just one):

<> ! * ' ' #
^ " ` $ $ -
! * = @ $ _
% * <> ~ # 4
& [ ] . . /
| { , , system halted

In English, this reads:

waka waka bang splat tick tick hash
caret quote back-tick dollar dollar dash
bang splat equal at dollar under-score
percent splat waka waka tilda number four
ampersand bracket bracket dot dot slash
vertical-bar curly-bracket comma comma crash

Few snaps

Here are few snaps I clicked few minutes back.

 

It happens.

Yesterday evening, while I had gone to market with Y, felt hungry. So, thought of going to a newly opened restuarant.

I ordered Aloo chaat + Vegetable cheese sandwich + Chicoo shake. And I tell you that was the most horrible combination I have ever had. While the sandwich was still to come, I felt no space to have more!
While the individual items were good to taste, together they were too heavy for me.

Finally, had to take the sandwich home! :P
And I was telling Y, hope the sandwich don't get sandwiched in my bag!!!

Kuch tho hua hai

Before reading this, you may consider reading this.

"Kuch tho hua hai, kuch ho gaya hai..." is one of my favourite songs.
There are times when kuch happens and makes you joyful, and after sometime the same kuch turns bitter and gives you pain. You must have come across many such experiences in your life.
But Sage Narada speaks of one such kuch, which he says is devoid of any such side-effects and which grow moment by moment.
The "IT" I had wrote about in my previous post is "Narada Bhakti Sutra",aphorisms about Love, inwhich Sage Narada talks about this kuch in detail. And the kuch is "Divine Love".
You may consider listening to Sri Sri's commentry on NBS. It's witty, beautiful and sacred.
Perhaps, after listening to it, you may suddenly find yourself in THE intoxication state singing, "Kuch tho ....". :)
