  • In the mind and out of it!

    I want to create a wish list… of things I do not know exist or not, and I don’t know will ever…

    One of them is a

    mind printer!!!

    This is going to be a device that would help me a lot…How? Read on!

    1. I handle multiple projects together right now and a mind printer would help me print whatever I am thinking at the time when I am thinking… if it works from a distance, then I can print things while I am in the shuttle or walking or driving or doing whatever! So none of my brilliant solutions and ideas and strategies would go unregistered…I can then reflect on them and come up with some better ways to work and solutionize stuff!

    2. It would print reminders for me… I remember a birthday 7 days before it, and forget the day it finally comes… I need that reminder

    3. It would help me do my quarterly analysis better… I can visualize graphs and charts and bullet points in my mind and lose them in the process of every day dhanda-paani… a mind printer would keep them safe

    4. I would be able to compose music and paint and sketch better… I can paint in my mind, but get limited by my knowledge of brush and paints… a colored mind printer would eliminate the need of a brush and paint! I might just become a better cook too 🙂 I would be able to write better… I think about play scripts a lot… this way I would have a place to keep them! and the songs and poems that I think about and forget! and maybe I can be a choreographer too!!! because I am thinking about how would I dance to some songs when I listen to them!

    5. It would ease out my brain a bit… (brainbit : Subbu’s blog; see connected thoughts… I really need a printer 😛) because now I would be spending less time in thinking what was I thinking when I was thinking about something that I thought I was thinking about!

    And I would be able to blog more often 😛 just transfer prints from the mind printer to word or a notepad and put them to chai ki dukaan!I just hope someone else does not get a control of this mind printer because then they would know whets happening in my mind by printing it! But I can confuse them by thinking more !! 😛

    And I have taken a big leap in my camera equipment today! The lens, I have been eyeing for a while, was delivered today! It took away almost all of my leftover savings, but I am glad I got it… Enjoy the first few straight from the camera (except the watermark) pictures from it below…


    Color, Sharpness, Bokeh, Contrast… everything looks tasty with this new lens.Its not expected to improve my photography, but would improve my photographs for sure… in case you are interested, this is the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L USM lens.

  • Chai walon ki Jai

    Chai Ki Dukaan recently crossed 75000 hits !!! Congratulations and thank you !!!!


    Am out on a longish drive this weekend, and drove a almost brand new Ford Fusion yesterday for about 5 hours straight… I am surprised with the smoothness of the car, never expected Ford to be this smooth… will write more when I am back !

  • The Draw of Tulips

    Tell me a way to make this draw more interesting…

  • Change

    Time for a bit of change…

    1. Seat moved from the 13th to the 7th floor

    2. Need to share the cubicle now… so much for being the vendor and not an employee

    3. Will take a while to adjust to the new seat… different height of the keyboard, monitor, docking station

    4. Will miss the view of the MAM and the lake…

  • OverDose

    I was doing this fun quiz on Blogthings and this is what it had to say about me..

    “You shine brightly and are best in small doses. Too much of your company can be overwhelming and even dangerous.“

    How so very true !

    😀 I love blogthings !

    and its cricket time today… Gawd I suck at it !!! Lets see how big a fool I make out of myself on that ground !
