Internet used to be a dream at one point of time… the time when dial ups used to be the only medium… costly, not feasible slow connections ensuring that you could check out email only once a week… having a website of your own was another dream….

But then in the last few years, things have changed… more and more people started having websites… the number of pages on the internet has only been increasing exponentially… and next came blogs, what started off with being mere online diaries todays has translated into so much more then just a medium to communicate for a lot of people…

What makes a lot of difference in a serious blogger’s or a web site’s life is the link popularity. Google is THE website that has set standard in link popularity, and page ranking… There are some complex algorithms that calculates the page rank of a page or a website… Some of the terms that are of importance while you are trying to read more about link popularity and page rank mechanisms are… search engine optimization, link baiting, technorati, latent symantec indexing etc… There is much more to the internet then we all know today… explore and get surprised…

Have you been to the The Compliment Club?

Automobiles, something that I have always been interested in… I used to read about the Amby and the Fiat… and then I used to read about whatever was happening in the world with the Autocar…. and then it stopped… Realising that the passion should not go away like this… I thought of reviving the interest and was just browsing the net to search for something that caught my interest in one of the TV Ads… The Zero Petrol Go Bikes…

Looks this is already a craze in the USA… i reached this site for Electric Scooters…. And its pretty interesting too… There are scooters starting for as low as $300 to about $700… all of them look pretty neat to me… The website also has a free shipping… It goes a step forward with mentioning about the Scooter Safety and Scooter and Bike laws… I am wondering how these scooters would look when they are running on the road… Low pollution levels, battery charged, silent and sleek… Check out the Razor Electric Scooters, Electric Bikes, Gas Scooters, Go Karts and more… The Go Karts are seriously exciting… i am already thinking about what call can I do with one of these… where all am I going… thinking of the dirt tracks 🙂

happiness is a function of

the smile that you return when someone who does not know you smiles at you…
the number of times someone in a high beam lowers the beam when you are in front…
the grip of a child on your fingers…
the laughter of your friends…
the tears when you see your parents after a long time…
the number of times when you made love and enjoyed it too…
the number of times you were told that you are important…
the smell of your favorite bed sheet…
the caller tone of your girlfriend/boyfriends mobile…
the ring tone when your friends call…
the incoming call from your dearest friend who is in a different city now…
the burp after a fantastic dinner…
the shoulder of a friend…
the pan after a dinner…
the smile that comes to your face when you think of your date…
the excitement of exam results…
the daze after a nice drink…
staring on the roof after a nice tiring day…
a small phone bill because the phone company decided to give you a happy discount…
a hand written letter from someone who know…
a drive on a cold winter morning…
the number of scraps on Orkut…
the number of times a girl you do not know comes to your Orkut profile ( this was for guys only )…
a nice one liner sms in the morning…
a good parking space in the parking lot…
Friday night evenings and start of the weekend…
Rain when you really wanted it…
and it stopping, when you really wanted it to stop…
a candy with a touch of lemon or orange…
Wedding invite of your sister…
the air conditioned office on a bright hot summer afternoon…
the nice couch in the lobby…
no one in the line for your favorite movie’s ticket…
a kiss from a friend…
someone remembering your name…
a good workout in the gym…
the rapids on the Ganges…
the top speed of your car…
the taste of the food you cook…
a nice haircut…
a shirt of your favorite color on a 90% discount…
a seat in the metro on a ride back home…
your favorite song on the fm the moment you switch it on…
an hour of making out…
a hug from your son…
your college crush in your office…

Happiness is…
air on the mountains…
Happiness is…
waves in the sea…
Happiness is…
walks on the beach…

Happiness is…

when you let me be me…

What differentiates between a really hectic work environment and a simple one is how one can manage the time they are spending in a day. When I started off, I had a simple life, thanks to the BPO life, where the time to login, logout, breaks and all is controlled… But when I think about the IT environment, time management is really a challange…

Effective time management is I guess a key to effective workmanship and professionalism. I reached this site which talks about time management while browsing through the net. Worth a read.
This time management page talks about various things, right from an ebook to some key skills, some handy healthy tips, best practices etc… Check it out in your free time and manage it effectively 🙂

Do you every fight with yourself?

How is the winner decided?

Is it you or you?
