Resurrection

 I have these short bursts of enthusiasm to start blogging every now and then. But even after numerous attempts I am never able to carry on with the same enthusiasm to write, create or make something worthy of putting up. Laziness has its ways with me. This again is yet another (hopefully not futile, but who knows) attempt at resurrecting the blogger in me.

 Initially I was of the opinion that it was Blogger that caused me to stop; so I started looking at other options. There was Wordpress, which I thought had a very interesting look; but I couldn't get my head around the way it worked.  Then I started with my hobby of photography, and I started looking for a place to put up whatever I clicked. Initially it was Facebook, but then it doesn't really do justice to the picture's resolution and quality. Then came Flickr; pretty good initially, but then the charm soon wore out. Then there was Tumblr which looked quite interesting; I could write stuff as well as put photos! Fresh layout, eye catchy themes ( thats something that I look for everywhere). But again I find myself falling away from it.

 Although every time I begin blogging, I stop abruptly and it just discontinues for a while; but I always find myself coming back to one place to start putting my thoughts out again. And that would be here, Blogger - Random Design Bala. Why? Probably because it was here that I started off. My first post online; and then on a stream of posts that remind of how my thoughts changed, how I changed. None of the other online sites give me that feeling, be it Facebook, Twitter or whatever I have an account on.

 I can only wait and see how long it takes me this time to discontinue again. But till then, I shall be busy making something cool everyday.

Some memories are good to lose, but some memories are all that we have. - Arkady Balagan, End Game S01E03

The following is a video that was going around on Facebook. I usually don't check out videos given the constraint of my internet connection usage. But when I saw the title ad the small preview thumbnail something told me that this video would be worth it, and it was! 'This is what winners are made of'

Kids are supposed to be very true of heart, innocent and express every feeling untainted! This kid here is supposedly sitting for an exam and that as you can see is his expression. I'm sure we see ourselves in that kid!

There was an awareness test that was going around on Youtube quite a few days back, on Change Blindness. If you didn't catch it there, check out the video below.

The picture says it all!

Here is a brilliant piece of writing on how to take back control of your life.

There have been so many cartoons after job's death and I have got to admit it, they are hilarious. But this one is the best so far!

Weekly Stuff #2

This is the second edition of the posts that I plan on updating on a weekly basis. But still I haven't thought of a decent name to go with, so for now I guess I'll have to stick to the same uncreative thing.

Otomata : As the creator puts it, it is a generative sequencer. All I care is that it is an awesome timepass if you are on the internet and don't know what to do. A brilliant and addictive music generator where you have to just place boxes; these move in straight lines and hit the walls of a box and when doing so create music. Check out for yourself at Otomata.

Now thats what a true nerds would look like. Simply brilliant!

So true!

This was found on facebook with a caption contest going along with it. So far the best caption that has been gives is 'SPARSHANE PAPAM...DARSHANE PUNYAM..'.

                          

An Indian man walks into the New York City bank and asks for the loan officer. He tells the Loan Officer that he was going to India for some business for 2 weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The Loan Officer tells him that the bank will need Some form of security for the loan. So the Indian man hands over the keys and the documents of the new Ferrari car parked on the
street in front of the bank. The loan officer consults the president of the bank, Produces all the required items and everything check out to be OK. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as a
security for the loan. The bank president and the Loan Officer had a good laugh at the Indian
for keeping a $750,000 Ferrari as a security and taking only $5,000 has a loan. An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the banks underground garage and parks it there. Two weeks later the Indian returns and pays $5000 and the interest which comes to it $15.41.  Seeing this, loan officer says, “Sir, we are very happy to have your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you are away, we checked you out and found out that you were a multi millionaire. What puzzled us was why would you bother to
borrow $5000?” The Indian replies "Where else in the New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks and for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return".
This is a true incident and the Indian is none other than... "Vijay Mallya"
