I am surviving

Can you all survive without your cell phones? I’ve given mine (the so called N-series) for repairing, its been 3 weeks already and my heart is still beating... So, I suppose the answer is yes. And am using some 10 year old model for the time being, and that too just for answering calls, using the text option is quite user “unfriendly”.

We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, use them to convey our most intimate secrets to lovers and friends, yet we worry that they are eroding our privacy.

I would say that is no need for just about everything to be stuffed into a device which is essentially used for voice communication and text messages, still technology allows... Most of you won’t agree with me but I guess it depends upon how one uses their phone.
I could live without my mobile phone but I always have it with me for the 'just in case' scenarios!
We all seemed to survive well enough without them before they became common place, and yeah, its bit of a generation thing.
ALSO,
Mobile phones are a great way of pretending you have lots of friends...you just add names to your address book.
BUT True friends don't need technology to keep in touch, do they?

TGIF !!

I have just survived what can only be described as the most hectic week I've undergone since I came to this land. (Even though I hardly had any work ;)). But anyways, Thank God its Friday.
Needless to say why we love Fridays and hate Mondays.

A business man got on an elevator in a building. When he entered the elevator, there was a blonde already inside and she greeted him by saying, "T-G-I-F" (letters only).
He smiled at her and replied, "S-H-I-T" (letters only)."
She looked at him, puzzled, and said, "T-G-I-F" again.
He acknowledged her remark again by answering, "S-H-I-T."
The blonde was trying to be friendly, so she smiled her biggest smile and said as sweetly as possibly "T-G-I-F" another time.
The man smiled back to her and once again replied with a quizzical expression, "S-H-I-T."
The blonde finally decided to explain things, and this time she said, "T-G-I-F, Thank God, It's Friday, get it?"
The man answered, "Sorry Honey, It's Thursday."


So it’s the weekend. Relax, get out and about, but most of all – have fun..!!

Do you have a backup..??

All my favorite Hindi songs-DDLJ HAHK and MLTR.. etc..etc.. collection went down the drain last year, when Dad deleted my audio files from my personal folder. "But why??" Got wild upset coz I din't have a backup for my favorite stuff.
Dint that happen to any of you anytime in the past? Lost your phone? and dint back up?

Moral of the story:
Learn from your mistakes. I did.
Now I have a back up for all my important/favorite stuff. Cant afford to lose it again.

Whatever method you choose, remember that backing up your files is very important, and make sure that you do so to protect against the worst.

Now, ain't I sounding tech savvy...!!!

Food and Mood

I eat for a living. I am passionate about food, it excites me.
Its not just alcohol that is a mood altering substance. Our everyday food does affect our moods too. Many of us feel happier when we eat chocolates and sweets. So shouldn’t we make use of some great recipes on how to make life more fruitful(pardon the cheap pun) and pig out on a fun and calorific idea of sundae entertaining? So what if it is calorific? Life, my friends, is never about being fanatical about anything, but all about balance. Savour Gods gift in every way and keep smiling!
