<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /> Imagine if you have your very own superhero who by his/her will wants to help you out from the next thing you want to persuade your father and buy to listening to the rants we have about how that food we are eating is not satisfactory enough (and puts up with those). Sounds nice? Sounds exciting? We already have that. We just don't take notice of it that much. Who is that? What is that which this crazy writer is talking about? Is it Superman? Did we get Batman himself to be our personal agent? One word can answer that: Mother. Yup your mom. The same mom who you think nags all day to get you to do what she wants. Today's young thinkers like fantasy where magic and super powers rule over the power of reality. We don't realize how gifted we are in having a magical person like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who said superheroes are the ones who save the whole world with amazing powers? This superhero stays consistent to save YOUR world every single day and every second. This person over here goes to extreme lengths (even to the extent where we would not expect) in order to ensure your needs are met which IS amazing. There is nothing expected in return. Not even recognition or a nobel prize. Just an acknowledgement that whatever is done is appreciated. Probably the least we can do. Remember that this does not happen to everyone or everytime. Be enlightened and be appreciative of the wonderful gift of a person who we cannot repay in any amount of money or lives. A simple thing which would not require even 0.1% of our attention span or brainpower. We still have 99% of that to spend on other stuff in life so set aside at least a little for someone who really deserves it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We love to sleep and wake up late (no I'm not looking at you early risers) and make up excuses to prolong that snooze a bit more. Your superhero (or superheroine) makes sure you are up and going with whatever you need for the day just by waking up earlier than you can imagine. With this supreme effort which takes a lot of determination and willpower, she makes sure that the whole household begins the day without a hitch. Now don't get me wrong here. There are a lot of fathers who do just the same as how mothers take care of the house. The ratio is just slightly lesser compared to mothers. Could be due to the fact that they have to report to work. All I'm saying here is to not ignore or underestimate the work your superhero (mom) accomplishes in the morning hours itself. Most of it is behind the scenes since we don't get off our behinds and actually witness it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the moment you step into the world for the first time clutching on for your dear life to the moment when you proudly declare on the mic in front of a huge crowd regarding your accomplishments, your mom does not leave your side. The most powerful thing is this: whether the world appreciates you or spits on you, she shields you and protects you with the best she can. If that cannot convince you then how about the fact that she would sacrifice her needs in order to give you a better life? A lot of us have seen and heard about these wonderful people giving up their meals for the day in order to ensure that the little guys/girls do not go hungry. Combine this with fathers and you get a new MEGAZORD- I mean parents. Parents are those who combine (link special powers if you want) their strengths and save your world. The next time you plan your schedule, force yourself to include some quality time with them. That quality time will end up making you smile forever.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Everybody has some talent within them. Whether it's
juggling a lot of items along with a favourite pastime of watching your
movie (Don't try this at home kids) or an invention inside that brain
waiting to be made, you may just have the required
talent to get yourself noticed in the world. What stops people from
going to the next level? Is it their own confidence? Is it pressure from
society to become one thing and never become what they wanted? Is it
because of financial problems? The answer to all
of these lies in the questions themselves and also with the person who
does have a dream of making it to the place which was supposed to be.
The problem and the root cause is: people tend to follow famous
personalities a little too much than create famous
personalities from their own creativity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Lot of people in the world are really happy to
stand by and watch. A lot of them are also wondering why they didn't do
something for which they would be proud of. A talent is not just meant
to be a money spinner. You could use your talents
in order to make the world a better place. Offering or volunteering for
charity is one of the ways to help and the best part is it improves
your own way of doing things. The creativity inside grows with
experience and experiments since little can be achieved
if you just think and not act on it. Learning from others gives a
wealth of experience but learning from yourself can also help you figure
out the real key to a hidden potential.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't get me wrong here. There is a lot of stuff
you can learn by following the ones who have actually succeeded in what
they wanted. But at the same time, considering that your life might be
different compared to theirs, it cannot be taken
as a "How To" manual. It's one thing to always know that you can learn a
lot of things from everyone. It's completely different and misleading
to think that you should also be successful by emulating their actions.
This is where your own talent comes and plays
such an important role. Often one's own talent is ignored for the
effort spent into trying to imitate someone else. You may have been able
to achieve something through a tried and tested method but you could
just be hiding a special something in you which
would revolutionize the entire concept you actually sought to imitate.
One of the best things to have while aiming for success is to never
overestimate yourself and importantly: to never underestimate yourself. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm sure you would have tried an online game at some point in the past or the present. Who knows, you might in the future. Everyone with a internet connection would have at some point. Could be a entertaining and simple flash game or a huge MMO (Massively Multiplaying) or perhaps even played online from a offline game. Games are generally conceived as a waste of time by many and at the same time, a few of them go on to win at World famous events and earn their living. The former are indeed right but there is a obvious catch as you might have guessed. Too much of gaming would earn you a lot of misery. If you aren't taking it up as a career that is. Normally, a relaxing thing tends to draw us in till we decide that we want to stay in it no matter what. Few manage to have a balance between a virtual escape and their identity in real life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The time I encountered a online game was at the beginning of my college life. A funny fact is the game was shut down when I finished college but let's not go there. I have, from the game, experienced a change in myself. A change so big that I would look back and wonder if there was a different person who was present in my life than myself. I was told repeatedly that games are merely for kids (as kids we were told games were for toddlers and so on...) and that no matter what there would never be a chance for something positive to come out of it. But things were different. I did not even think of it as a escape from reality and instead my growth was impacted in a positive way. I improved my use of languages, got to know a lot of things and most of all, I ran upon a hidden goldmine: FRIENDS. "What?" you ask. Actually you heard that right. A game, something which was considered useless by a lot of people brought me a LOT of great friendships which have lasted (and still are lasting) for more than 5 years! Making friends is easy but keeping them together is not a small feat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the course of years, people would leave the game to concentrate more on studies or their family. But we never broke apart. Not even a single person lost touch and even today, still recognizes who they were inside the game and outside as well! Can you imagine that this was caused by just a game? It is amazing and I'm always astounded when I look back and think about it. A tight knitted community is a wonderful thing to have, whether it is from a game or not. Let me "borrow" my title from the top of this blog and say "You would not be mistaken to be optimistic to the point of foolishness if you are looking for wonderful memories with people all over the world". And who knows, You could even meet your future partner as well! It has happened in many online games throughout the world. A revolution in the way people play games has begun to revolutionize the way people act in life as well. Over the time, you could find positives changing your life for the better as you hurry to join your partners-in-crime to chat or have fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't get me wrong though. Playing a online game is great if you manage to make friends with some nice people. At the same time, you need to ensure that it does not cause problems in your own life (like some important stuff and exams). If you manage yourself well, you might just find a treasure of memories to be cherished throughout your life. The best part is: You'll have made some great friends who you never knew existed!</div>

Lack of this in our life will mean that ideas are diminished even before they start to take shape and relationships between people broken without even a reason. In the ancient times, people might have spoken in a single dialect or a single language across the world. Today, one will be astounded at the number of languages existing in this modern era. Some languages have a natural flair of attracting people and some are inbred into everyone such that they gain expertise in it subconsciously as they speak. There's a curious thing about languages though: one word can mean a compliment in one whereas the same word might even turn out to be an insult in another! Each language is unique in its own way and some of them share the same script for reading and writing their alphabets. And we come to the prized question: So what do YOU speak?</p><p align="justify">Technological advances have brought the world closer than before. And they have also created attractive options for the soul yearning to learn the language he/she desires. Looking at the internet, there’s a wealth of resources which can aid you in your quest to mastering a particular language and you don't even have to take classes! Of course if you are planning to take up a career in that language, then certifications from a reputed institution would prove to be your best friend forever. Pursuing studies at official institutions like The Alliance Francaise or the German Embassy would give a great boost to start off your career as well as serve to improve your skills in the language. What better a place to study a language than the representative’s place from the language's homeland? Speaking of homeland, over here in India (I suppose this might hold true for other places in the world as well) we have a concept known as "The Mother Tongue". This is possibly derived from the family language of the mother before her marriage to a man. Their offspring have a natural ability to speak fluently in that particular language since it also happens to be the first ever language they are exposed to. As a result, they also learn to write and read the script of that language at an early age. That’s one language down and many more to go. There’s work to be done here!</p><p align="justify">In the current era, English is often used as the common language for communication across many countries. While English serves to attract people as the common medium, there are other languages as well which prove to be irresistible for their artistic impact they have on people. I don’t know about you guys but over here in India, there are a lot of languages spoken which are spread across all states. You might be interested to learn Hindi, which is considered as the national language or perhaps you might be more inclined towards Gujarati or Marathi or Oriya along with a taste of the South Indian flavors of Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu to finish it off! The possibilities are endless as the ones I have mentioned barely scratch the surface of the rich culture that is present in India! And then we have what are termed as the foreign languages: French, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian etc. Of these, each language mentioned has its own base of followers solely dedicated to achieving ultimate nirvana in literature. And there are people who love to learn a language not for making a career out of it but for the love of the language and sometimes a bare necessity for those who wish to travel to the home of that language one day. It’s a literal feast for those who love a language and get to travel to the place where it originated from!</p><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-family:'Georgia', 'serif';">I’ll conclude with a personal profile of my own. As I told you about the concept of The Mother Tongue, mine is Telugu. Other languages which I speak are Hindi, Tamil and English. I’m impressed by the French language but unfortunately I’m as good as an infant since I probably know barely two to three words in it. Will have to learn it someday! My favorite language (no prizes for guessing) is English. I do have some fascination for the language and hence I always strive to improve my grammar and vocabulary in it. I doubt that I’m making much progress though! The forms of English known to me are the original British English, the Americanized version and the mixture of both which is spoken here in India. The best of both worlds you could say!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-family:'Georgia', 'serif';">And so I bid adieu to all for now. Bonne chance for those in French and Good luck for everyone else! Have a great time! ^_^</span></span></p>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-19827492325233076302011-01-31T13:16:00.005+05:302011-01-31T13:31:24.446+05:30Probation: The Silent Watcher<div align="justify">Every employee has experienced it at some point of his/her life. None have been able to (or can) avoid it. The testing time for an employee begins the moment he sets foot into an organization, whether he's worth a truckload of experience or a newbie looking to make it big in the corporate world. Probation is the name of the game which specializes in testing your potential and especially both your attitude and patience. This is the one phase which can make or break an employee's career for it can provide that much needed boost to climb up the slippery promotional ladder or it can also add to one's despair by greasing that ladder enough to make you fall to oblivion.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">The corporate world welcomes employees by inaugurating the unavoidable gateway in your job called Probation. This is the time where you get a golden opportunity to give that vital first impression to your boss and your colleagues. At this period of time, you will be constantly watched for everything you do mark my words. You would do well to remember that your colleagues come in the junior(probably in age) and the senior(experience or age) flavors. Both are equally important to consider as the friendship or relations you create with them can have a great impact on how you shape your work atmosphere for the future. They have been in the organization before you. You're entering into uncharted territory and making friends rather than foes can help you progress along the way. Respect and admiration from both sides is the key to that fine beginning here.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">One of the main things to look at next is how you handle and react to your mistakes and, other's as well. Get a little too tensed and you might drop low in the stress testing area. Stay too cool and you might be taken for someone who isn't very determined in work. The elusive balancing act is to show seriousness and stay calm at the same time. Making a mistake is not wrong and making up for it in a better way can propel you by leaps and bounds. It shows people that you aren't afraid to take responsibility and convinces them that you are eager to learn and improve. The most dreadful thing one can do is to lie than admit a mistake. Remember that your boss will be more open to supporting you when you tell him/her the truth. One lie, one discovery and your career is as good as yesterday's rotten tomato. And that one bad thing might just become the catalyst for an unwanted impression on you: the lack of trust. The bottomline is: Show them what you are capable of, learn from your mistakes and always be honest in your work.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The final thing is the work itself. Be sure to complete your work on time and you will leave with a happy mind everyday(and a happy boss). Never miss a deadline as it is one of the attributes which show your dedication to your task at hand. Always stick to the given task and discuss any concerns or grievances with your boss beforehand. It wouldn't do good to inform the boss about a difficulty at the last minute which could have been solved a long time back. It would only serve to demote yourself in his/her eyes and repetition of this can stunt your career graph by a large margin. You must prove that you are a dependable person who always does his/her best to finish any task assigned at any point of time for life in the corporate world is comprised of change and adaptability. Often you would have to reinvent the way you handle your task. Keep up with it and you would have absolutely nothing to worry about forever.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I guess that's all I have for now. I have covered most of the points which would ensure a smooth trip through the testing times. However I still feel that I have a long way to go so please feel free to add any points which you think I might have missed. Alright then, do your best and have fun! ^_^</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-45313327306353886652010-12-30T19:45:00.002+05:302010-12-30T19:52:50.884+05:30An Economical Interlude<div style="text-align: justify;">Today afternoon when I was aimlessly browsing the internet, my friend pointed me to a website which had numerous articles. Now I'm not a person who reads a lot but that doesn't mean that I read too little either. Then again, I'm not what one would term as a voracious reader. Asking for article recommendations from my friend was met with an opinion to follow my own instinct and choose articles to read. I ended up choosing one on Charity, one on Logic and another on Economy. Very different topics when compared to each other and each had a story of it's own to tell. I was particularly interested in the way the article on Economy was written. It offered a statement from one of the founding fathers of economy and proceeded to debunk the economic myths which are held in great regard as of today.<br /><br />The article also served to explain the way The Great Depression was handled. The author expressed disappointment that the current state of economic affairs were simply praising the numerous economical myths rather than look at hard factual logic. It had been a bane when The Great Depression actually happened. It created more problems than solve the one problem at large: Unemployment. The author wrote in the article that Jobs are more of a concern today than ever. This is of course the cold bitter truth. The recession of 2008 took the world by storm and proceeded to devastate both the big and the small guys, the former cutting down their monetary expenses and the latter being forced to close down in an unfortunate turn of events due to a financial crisis. Employers who were hiring in droves transformed into Employers who sought to send away people in droves. This gradually had a great impact on the world's economy with every Industry being affected in one way or the other. How many tragedies have we seen on the news depicting suicides over unemployment? The number is depressingly large.<br /><br />This doesn't mean that the economy was fabulous before the recession though. Some sectors did have a great advantage over others and were booming so much that they were tipped to become bigger in the future. One fact is, no matter how small or how large, in the end every Industrial sector depends on all of the other sectors in a direct or an indirect way. When production is affected in one sector it would slowly begin to affect another unless the rate of production remains constant. Production is also equal to the number of jobs created as well as lowering or increasing the demand of products in the market. As we know, lower production means high demand and with that we encounter an irritable and shady fellow named Inflation. Go down the opposite lane and you would meet his equally irritable but a rather...."charitable" fellow called Deflation. They are equally unwanted as one serves to reduce production and the other proceeds to eliminate demand to such an extent where production creates waste. You would do well to take a trip back to the past and examine and compare the prices of commodities with the present. This would present a very large difference to raise many eyebrows indeed.<br /><br />The article points out that production is the key to a thriving economy. I'm inclined to agree and at the same time would add that demand along with production is the way towards a successful economy in the future. More demand would mean more production and in turn more production would mean more opportunities thus solving the unemployment scenario. I wouldn't say that production on it's own is incapable of standing up to improve economical conditions. I would place demand as a supporting companion to the main character that is production. At the same time demand is a rather unpredictable character, a double agent like those you see in movies. When demand increases in power beyond the maximum level of production it naturally invites Inflation to the party and wreaks havoc on people, rich and poor. High prices anyone? When it goes down to abysmal levels, it forces production to bow it's head out of the way due to it's creations being shoved onto forgotten shelves. Both tend to disrupt the economy of a nation and in turn invite a third person known as unemployment.<br /><br />Let me underline the importance of demand with a fitting example. The recent and temporary price rise of Onions in the Indian market showed how demand can eventually overwhelm production. Due to unexpected circumstances, the availability of the number of Onions decreased to such a minuscule amount that prices were raised by a ridiculously large amount. The situation was prominent until the supply was put back into order. Demand is the important piece in the puzzle which constantly changes to bring about radical changes in the economy of any nation. Production is for naught when there isn't a reasonable demand to match up to it since nobody benefits when stuff produced in large quantities is not being sold at all. With this I end my rather amateur musings on the economical climate. This is just a newbie's point of view and you're all free to extend your opinions onto me. Here's hoping for a better future with affordable prices for all. Later then! Have a great time and a Happy New Year everybody! ^_^<br /></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-41686069839095490902010-12-21T19:52:00.006+05:302010-12-23T13:43:59.864+05:30The Magic of Little Things<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The importance of little things has always remained a core aspect of my thoughts for a very long time and I doubt that there's anything which would say otherwise. Many times or should I say, for most of our life, joy and sadness arises from those little things which develop over a course of time. Everything starts small and grows healthier the more it is "fed". Sometimes they can make a big difference for someone or everyone. For example, your smile can brighten up an otherwise gloomy day of your friends and dear ones and it makes you happy as well! A simple and sweet "Happy Birthday" can make a person very happy on his/her birthday. Parents taking time out<br />to spend time with their children can make a huge difference in bonding between the two. These are just some of the very many examples out there in the world.<br /><br />It is said "from a tiny spark may burst a mighty flame". There's no bigger a truth than this! Everything we see today might well be something which grew out of something small. This is true for both the good and the bad side. Understanding between people will eventually blossom into great friendship. At the same time, misunderstanding between people will eventually breed anger, hatred and misconception. In the beginning it would look almost negligible but will slowly grow into such a catastrophe that the root cause is almost forgotten. People would then try to solve the problem but alas, that alone will not be enough. The real solution lies in tracing the roots of the problem in order to eliminate it. Let's take the positive side. Just imagine that you cross a certain person everyday on your way to work or on the road or anywhere. Now add a little something to it. You smile and wish him/her every time you happen to meet. Now after a long time, just think that you've stopped that practice and you instead ignore that person. What would happen? That very person, even if he/she were a stranger, would come up to you and inquire if you were not well or if you were falling on bad times. That's how much difference a small but great thing can make!<br /><br />You would have heard about people who don't spend time with their parents either because they're busy or they simply make excuses for it. Looking deeper into this, some of them do this because they had it the same way before. Remember that I talked about parents finding time to go and spend some time with their children? Unfortunately, that wouldn't have happened in this case. Just think about it. Just because the parents didn't want to do a nice little thing which would have ensured a closer bond with their children, they would reap bitter rewards for the rest of their lifetime. They would have money, a nice home and all facilities in the world. But an important thing would be missing: the fond vision to stay as a happy family. However, there are some who realize that revenge is the wrong way and eventually create happy memories later on. But in the end, the little things we have done in the past will eventually catch up with us, whether they were negligible or not worth bothering at that moment.<br /><br />There's also a famous example about tyrants ruling with terror among innocent people. Those tyrants fear more than the people who are affected because they know that one day, someone, however small he/she may be will rise up and bring about their destruction as surely as the sun rises and sets everyday. This is made good by our day to day stories and examples in real life as well. India's struggle for independence is a good example in itself when we look at Mahatma Gandhi's use of simple but powerful things called non-violence and righteousness. Therefore, let's not underestimate the incalculable power of little things in our life because they eventually have the power to make or break moments, to separate or bring people together and in the end, make our life happier or more tragic. With this food for thought, I'm now off to the real world. Adios! </div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-71314273640198999232010-09-29T13:05:00.003+05:302010-12-21T19:58:29.444+05:30Humanity: The true wonder of the world<div align="justify">Hello there everybody! Hope you're doing fine! As we say goodbye to the month of September 2010, another month awaits us with unknown opportunities and events. You might embark on a new adventure or perhaps you might just achieve that one goal in life you've always dreamed about! Believe in yourself and you will be amazed at what you are capable of, for there is no better a tutor than self-confidence in any walk of life. Before we get excited about what the next month has in store for us, let's sit down, have a cup of tea and think about a long forgotten but easily remembered word called Humanity. Everyone would have heard about this word. Some use this to enable good deeds and some, well...try to enable it for their own selfish gains. However, the former is more dwarfed compared to the latter. How and why, you ask? That's a very good question. The answer to this question lies right in front of our eyes but many do not even attempt to look at it. Instead, they seek to look past it and end up wrecking their lives. It doesn't stop here though, for the actions performed by an individual will at some point, have an impact on society as well. Hence, in the long run, others are affected by it too. Some overcome it and improve their lives and for some who are unfortunate, bend their will and accept it as truth. When Humanity, that known but yet unknown wonder hidden deep inside of us falls, everything righteous and good cease and get destroyed.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">Indeed it's happening as we speak, or read if you prefer. The concept of Humanity is on a steady decline in the whole world today. It's not just one particular country or continent or a city or even a village. It just happens everywhere and even though we get a thought, it remains as a thought. There are very few who actually strive to convert that thought into reality. Even their efforts are either in vain or fall on deaf ears as anti-social elements strike them down. This is where the true purpose of Humanity is lost. Unity magically disappears when there is a need to fight for a good cause and instead fear is born out of it. This known truth might be sour or even unbearably bitter to your eyes and ears but unfortunately it IS reality. We have the power to change this harsh reality into a world called paradise. We have the ability to do it and we have the knowledge to do it as well. So why do we fail in this area alone? Why do we fail in the most simplest yet the most vital part of our life?<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"> It's said that an example explains stuff better than anything (or at least I believe it to be so). Let's take a simple example: How many times have you seen the news and heard about innocent people being imprisoned for many years just because they crossed what would seem to be the "borders" between two places? And said imprisonment continues for a long time even after they are proven to be innocent until it's exposed! Or how many times have you seen news channels popularize a calamity so much that they hold debates which stretch on for hours or in some cases even weeks? How do you think that the people who actually went through that ordeal would feel living it all over again everytime they turn on their TV sets or go outside? You also might want to recall the last time you saw a reporter faithfully doing his "duty" and showing you a person suffering on the ground for a lot of time instead of helping him. These aren't the only times when Humanity bows down it's head in an agonizing silence.<br /><br />For crying out loud, people talk about the concept of "our world" and yet love to point a finger against those who supposedly "tresspass" inside what they say "my area, my country". Don't get me wrong, those are of course measures set in place to remove people with bad intentions but most of the time, those very bad people end up getting away. One pressing thing is that Humanity always banks upon a certain thing called trust and right now, it's not available in plenty. Because of atrocious activities done by some people, every single human is viewed as a suspect today. Trust is very hard to win over and it is rightfully so for only the righteous achieve it. But right now, trust is being discarded like a use and throw material by many.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">I'll tell you guys one thing which I believe with all of my heart: If only every human viewed another as just another human being like himself/herself, then any darn or damn problem in the world could be solved. World peace? Done. No wars? Done. Solve your problem with the next-door neighbour? Done. You name it, there IS a solution to it. Can anyone in the world achieve any sort of world peace or something like that without this pre-requisite? It's beyond impossible. It won't be the real deal. People will change again and go back to the old ways. The solution is to not to force the concept of Humanity on people. People themselves should know and understand it. Yes of course, this is nearly impossible. But there's a nice difference between what's nearly impossible and what's beyond impossible. The former means that a chance does exist no matter how small or insignificant and the latter as it says, less than zero percent. There's a starting point for the first one and with determination, one could transform something which is nearly impossible into a nearly possible scenario.<br /><br /></div><div align="justify">I'll dwell upon one last point. How long and how much effort would it cost us to think that we are human beings like everyone around us? Nothing. It costs absolutely nothing and takes almost no time and what's more, it transforms you into a better individual. Think Human first, not American or Indian or French or German or British. Remember that no matter what, whether on the other side of the world or having better looks or not looking better or have different beliefs and what not, EVERYONE in the world is still another human being just like YOU. Let the human in you come first and everything else later. Think human and empathize as a human. You will eventually gain ultimate understanding above all others. Have a great time! ^_^</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-90284143370201987952010-09-10T18:05:00.009+05:302010-12-21T19:59:15.148+05:30First impressions of a soul at work<div style="text-align: justify;"> And so it came to pass that in those days I would no longer be a student but a working individual who has to handle responsibility sooner or later.......okay I'll stop uttering a prophecy and get to the real thing! I'm going to miss those wonderful days spent with my friends at college and at school, and of course the overall miracle that is a student's life. But then again I have moved on to bigger things which will make my life better as I'm now stepping out into the wide world for everyone to see. The best thing is that I can still meet up with all my friends and it's great to see them succeeding in their lives as well.<br /><br />It's really not the end of the world when you move into this phase, only that you have to leave something behind to grow into a successful individual. The <span style="font-weight: bold;">"say goodbye to one of the most wonderful times in your life"</span> something. Hard to forget and hard to leave behind. People would say:that's life. I would say: take the best part of that phase in your life, add a little excitement, determination for the future and stir well (clockwise, or anti-clockwise if you prefer) for an amazing combination. Then sit back, relax (not really) and watch as you ascend higher and higher onto the planes of happiness.<br /><br />Anyways, enough with that sort of stuff. First day at work was a strange mixture of excitement and expectation for me. It was nearly similar to what I had imagined and as the days passed by, it was a smooth process for me to make a transition into the work environment. But I still held on to what was or rather what was left of my student life and convinced myself that as long as I was in training I could still coax myself into the false impression that I was still technically a student. It was both right and wrong at the same time, both maintaining a sense of equilibrium. It was purely right because I had to have that urge to learn as a student and it was absolutely wrong because I also had to change myself into a contributor, an employee who gives his best rather than sitting in the dark looking at false images. So far my training has gone well and I have also been interested in learning all the concepts which spring up from time to time. I do have confidence in myself that one day (which is soon, honestly!) I would transform myself into someone who strives forward for achievements while keeping all of his life's memories with him on the way. It's both easy and hard to do it.<br /><br />So how have you guys felt when the time came for the big change in your life? Were you like <span style="font-weight: bold;">"Whole speed ahead!!"</span> or perhaps you had to caution yourself with every step you took in today's industrial world? Don't worry about the steps you take as long as it shapes you into the person you want to be in the world's tomorrow. But don't forget the memories of yesterday though. Look into the future and you are a good candidate to succeed. Take the past, learn from it and then look into the future, you WILL succeed. And with that, I say Good Evening folks! ^_^<br /></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-5936694723722993322010-09-08T13:13:00.004+05:302010-12-21T20:00:24.992+05:30The art of Art!<div align="justify">How many of you love drawing, sketching and painting? Or perhaps even doodling? You might have fleshed out those wonderful creations in your notebooks (when you thought your teacher wasn't looking) or even your desks, walls and anything which looked remotely like a canvas (hopefully you haven't stumbled across stranger things). If you aren't interested in doing it yourself, you would have surely admired works done by great painters in the world. The beauty and creativity in their imagination spread out on the canvas is a feast for the eyes. Vibrant colours and beautiful scenes can have a very big impression on our mind as we finally get the message which the artist wanted to deliver.<br /><br />I like drawing, painting and doodling in my free time. However, I'm still a rookie at painting stuff and I'm currently hopeless at light sources which means that those wonderful shadow effects and shading stuff will have to wait. I grew up teaching myself about drawing in the form of Outline Drawing. Which is to say, I never ventured into the area of shading until college or so probably because I didn't know how to do it properly or I wasn't aware of that at that time. I believe that immense concentration is the key to drawing properly in any situation as I have found that it has helped me a lot to improve myself and I haven't taken any training. For those who believe me, hello there! For those who don't let's test it out!<br /><br />Take a sheet of paper and a pencil or a pen. Now without focusing much, draw a straight line. Yup just a straight line. And oh don't try to make it look smooth just give a feeble attempt. Now, next to it draw another line but this time devote all of your mind to it, concentrate and focus on it and try to make it look as smooth as possible. Once you're done, take a good look at your work. You will usually find that the second time you had a better result than the first one. That's all there is to it! Drawing doesn't require any sort of special skill nor does it require you to be a born prodigy. All it requires is your concentration which is present in every single person in the world.<br />Oh sure, you would argue against me saying that one just cannot become a Da Vinci or a Raja Ravi Varma. That part is true. However, it's partly misleading as well. You cannot become a great painter by hoping to become one, but rather you CAN become a great painter by willing yourself to become one. Start drawing something, anything and try your best to make it look similar to the picture in your mind. You might start off with a wonderful sketch or a half decent sketch, but for one who perseveres, the end result is the same: the ability to paint wonderful pictures.<br /><br />I'm not a famous painter nor am I very good at creating art but the above stuff has come from my personal experience (Remember the part where I said I never took any training).<br />So what are you waiting for? All you need right now is a big heart full of inspiration and fingers itching to sketch the next masterpiece in the world! Get drawing and remember: Stay away from those who call you drawers! While you're at it, I'll get back to my current dilemma: What do I draw next? :D</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-26787449927895307532010-09-06T13:19:00.006+05:302010-12-21T20:01:04.542+05:30Assignments, Deadlines and hectic weeks of work!<div align="justify">How many of you experience those weeks which make you feel all worn out and longing for the weekend? I suppose everyone in every job faces this situation either when the workload becomes too much or if they are running behind deadlines which should have been met a long time ago. The former is manageable with a steady pace but the latter is what strikes fear into every worker's heart. Everyone loves the sound of deadlines which simply whoosh past you like the wind. Yes it would be great if all they did was blow past but unfortunately they go past and take us with them as well......right into oblivion.<br /><br />One second we find ourselves frantically trying to outdo ourselves beyond our capacity to get that job done before the last minute ticks off and the next, you find yourself face to face with the ever terrifying possibility: it's time to face the music...err...the boss. These kind of meetings are often not pretty and leave people wishing that they had managed to finish their tasks ahead of their deadlines. Prior planning before starting a task is a good practice in order to prepare yourself for the obstacles ahead. The most important thing, however, is adapting the plan according to the situation as required. This will implement flexibility in your plans and allow you to overcome any difficulty without much effort.<br /><br />Let's consider that I have a task (or an assignment) which I need to complete in approximately 5 days. The first step I would think of taking would be to break down the effort required into five portions, each comprising of 20% of the task. It would be better of course to plan for 4 days rather than five as it would enable you an extra day in case something goes wrong at the last moment. The next part I should concentrate on is, no prizes for guessing, concentration. It's really no use if I plan well and ahead for a task but instead end up not following it. It's as good as not planning at all. I feel that following these base guidelines would help people get started (if not get a clear idea about what they need to do) as it's the hardest thing to do. Once we get started, we find to our own surprise that we automatically travel to where we need/want to be.<br /><br />So what do we need to succeed in our day to day tasks? All we need to do is quit sitting there planning for eternity and begin doing it with a base plan! Let the plan evolve with you, change with you and most of all adapt with you. And while you guys adapt to this, it's time for me to stop lazing around and return to the task at hand. Good Luck! :D</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-36213404679232507432010-08-17T13:01:00.003+05:302010-12-21T20:01:43.038+05:30Transformers: The invisible car<p align="justify">No, no, no. I'm really not planning to actually bring out a sequel to the Transformers movies nor am I trying to create a fan-fictional story about it. We all love good sci fi stuff and those fancy gadgets never fail to impress us. We would love to have them implemented in real life don't we (except those mad blood thirsty human killing robots of course!)? I saw an "implementation" of that very thing in my life a few days back. Or should I say a rather "pretendable" way of bringing it to life.</p><p align="justify">A few days back I was traveling in a bus which was crowded so much that you would begin to wonder why you had suppressed that urge of waiting for the next bus when in reality, time was running out and you had to reach a place within a short amount of time. There was this certain middle aged individual who looked not too shabby but also wasn't dressed up as though he was having the time of his life over here. He had managed to secure a prized window seat and was chatting on his cellphone for a long time. The conductor was busy moving through the crowd with great difficulty and was yelling at people to buy their tickets if they hadn't gotten them already. Just another normal scene in a bus you would think. Correct. However, the cellphone guy wanted to make this day more than normal though.</p><p align="justify">The passenger sitting next to him wasn't exactly annoyed by his constant jabbering but it looked like he was reconsidering his decision of sitting next to him. When a little relief appeared in the form of the individual saying goodbye on the phone, it certainly turned out to be a blend of both relief and amusement. The middle aged fellow suddenly transformed into a mad scientist and said into his phone: "Alright then. It's a bit hard hearing your voice now that we've entered a heavy traffic zone. Besides I'm driving my car and it's hard to keep speaking. I'll call you when I reach home."</p><p align="justify">I wonder if I was shocked at that moment but the passenger sitting next to him certainly was. His incredulous looks at the other man went unnoticed (or perhaps ignored for the sake of maintaining his "image") as the person proceeded to keep his cellphone in his shirt pocket. I don't know about you guys but this is perhaps the first time I've seen a person elegantly transform a boring bus atmosphere into that of a cool airconditioned one of a luxurious car.<br />However, he does deserve a lot of credit for expelling the treacherous thing called boredom out of my mind for the rest of the journey. But this came with an added side effect as well: I was grinning stupidly till I reached my friend's house.</p>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-17864617303079333122010-08-16T13:51:00.003+05:302010-12-21T20:02:17.300+05:30A new look, a new phase and a new post!<p align="justify">Whoa! It's been a long time (I think the word "ages" would fit better over here)since I decided to write a new post. Now I'm fairly aware that many people are initially enthusiastic about blogging but as time passes, the interest wears out after a while and in the end, those people forget that they had once started a blog. Very few survive in this process, most of them being already dedicated bloggers who used to keep a diary from time to time (Blogging is the digitized version of your very own diary but of course without your private stuff) and few being the newcomers in the area (with great determination of course). So where do I fall into this? You would have already guessed it from the difference in the gap in my post dates. I have never kept a diary in my life and I'am a newbie in the vast blogosphere.</p><p align="justify">Time passes fast. When I woke up today and visited my blog, I was indeed surprised to find that my previous post was done a year back! It's been somewhat of a wild ridefrom last year to today considering that I have finally landed a job in the Software Industry. My aim was to get into the Software sector of the IT industry and thank God (and goodness!) that it came true (I suppose I wouldn't mind going into other fields but then again, I think I would sleep through! I'm a B.E.ECE graduate by the way).</p><p align="justify">Training is going on over here which promises to shape me into a completely different individual at the end which I'm sure will happen. Alright then, I bid adieu to all of you with a new look on the blog and a new phase in my life!</p><div align="justify"></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-30524751186447448562009-04-10T21:58:00.003+05:302009-04-10T22:17:06.433+05:30The Indian Premier League is back!<div style="text-align: justify;">So finally on April 18th we get to see IPL's second season.......on the TV. Yeah I know it's a bit depressing not having to support your team live from the ground but you can still show them your support on TV! If you are feeling like *cough* NOOO I HAVE TO BE THERE LIVE!!! *cough* then it's all nice and shiny provided you have the cash to shell out for a long trip to South Africa and the return ticket as well(Can't forget this lifesaver now can we? :D)<br /> Still there are people who cannot afford or choose to watch from the comfort of their homes(Can't blame 'em, they have the comfort advantage) which works out well for most fans. I haven't been to a single cricket match since I was small(too small enough to barely know what cricket was) but I did want to go and feel what an IPL match is like. Too bad it had to be moved out of the country. Perhaps if IPL was given a seperate window by the ICC it MIGHT have been postponed and could have been held in India. Still IPL is IPL whereever it goes but as the Indian players remarked: The home crowd is THE home crowd!<br /> The first season of the IPL was a huge success pitting players all over the world against their own teammates in a wonderful one and a half month fixture of matches. All matches were simply mindblowing and the Rajasthan Royals sure did live up to their word when Shane Warne said:"Watch us. We will bounce back." And boy bounce back they did! They bounced so hard that they ended up being the IPL champions! What's more......they didn't have a proper coach. This year they return, with renewed vigor and determination to be the champions all over again. Do I think they have a chance? Heck they have thousand times a chance! And so do other teams as well. A lot of changes has been made in all teams after looking back on their wins and losses so I believe this time it's gonna be closer and faster than you can say "WAIT WHAT?"<br /></div> There are lots of clashes to be seen and the runs will start churning out like theres no tomorrow. So what are you waiting for? Oh wait....it does start on 18th so you have to wait! Gotta love PJs! :DNithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-38565888606492224432009-01-21T21:23:00.004+05:302009-01-21T22:35:10.251+05:30A Hibernation in progress!Looks like it's been a long long time since I made a post over here(perhaps 2 to 3 months!) and to call it a break would make most laugh but hibernation would make most agree. ^_^<br />Lot's of things have happened as we know about the usual news making their way into our lives whether through mass media or through newspapers, Christmas celebrations and the end of the year 2008. Just like previous years, this one has it's own share of memorable moments as well as those horrifying moments of pain which made us come closer through the bridge leading to the wonderful character of humanity. The new year was welcomed by everyone but still the pain was ever persistent when we saw it strike early on new year's day. Many have suffered time and time again and yet people are a little hesitant to lead for themselves against that pain and support the phrase "Be the change". There are people however who have really done their part to lend a helping hand to the needy at the right time and some are recognized, some remain as unsung heroes of the nation. Let's hope that this new year 2009 brings not only resolutions for the good, but the real unity that is lacking amongst us.<br /> The previous year also had it's own tale to tell about the financial woes which shook the very foundations of the world. The drop in markets around the world had a great impact not only on the IT industry but also in every nook and corner of all fields and led to many companies jumping into a "safe mode" of sorts by cutting down their usual recruitment numbers and existing jobs as well. This financial depression was given company by a distant cousin named "Inflation" which was the terror of every common man's effort to make daily ends meet. It will sure come down with time just like the financial crisis(also infamously known as the recession). However inflation seems to falling at a rate which would make most happy and most companies have started to recover slowly from the global downfall as well.<br /> But let's not stick only with the troubled times for the winds of joy and excitement existed and will continue to exist in the future as well! In 2008 we had the variation of one of the most exciting formats of cricket, The Indian Premier League(abbreviated as the IPL). Cricket is best enjoyed in the normal 50 over formats and the classic test matches but the Twenty20 format brought home a whole new experience which drew in all kinds of people. Twenty20 created the atmosphere of fast paced thrilling matches with batsmen hitting all over the ground and bowlers hungering for that next big wicket. There was also the Olympics held in China which was a highlight in sporting events with talents from all over the world. The swimmer Michael Phelps broke through the rest of the competition to amaze the world with 8 gold medals! We had valuable performers in Abhinav Bindra who made India proud with his gold medal and boxers who fought with all their might to try and do their best.<br />All in all 2008 was an unpredictable mixture of sweet and sour.<br /> I know people who are reading this post might think: "Hey this guy didn't even cover even half of the important stuff which happened in the last year!". I share your sympathies and would like to add that I haven't covered even 25% of stuff because it's a bit late here and I gotta sign off now. Let's wish for a much better 2009 in which everyone realises what they are supposed to do to make their lives peaceful and better. Adios! :)Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-84641969455188582782008-10-31T22:01:00.004+05:302008-11-03T22:12:17.833+05:30Thanking you........yours virtually!<div style="text-align: justify;"> A lot of us have surely experienced the fun and frolic involved in video games(or should I say consoles for a better term for the current generation and the next) with our friends or against the ever eager-to-try-and-defeat-you Artificial Intelligence(AI). These games allow us to have a virtual feel of life such as commanding troops to shoot down the oncoming assault or getting your next mission to slay that pesky monster. So sharpen up your instincts and especially your determination! For here is a virtual enemy that doesn't like to lose no matter what (Unless of course you are toasted at it's first attempt to destroy you).<br /> We have seen the evolution of games from the classic arcade games to the popular nintendo 8-bit entertainment system(Remember those hours spent on mario? Aww comeon you must have been really frustrated of not having a save game option if you played it right now :D) to the basic DOS games on PC(Ahh classics!) and finally here we are looking at a wide variety of games across various platforms! There are various genres including action,adventure,sports etc but I'm going to try and cover one genre which has taken the gaming world by storm before and still is doing that right now. It is known as MMORPG(Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).<br /> I won't go into the various MMO's as it is shortly referred to as right now. There are many of them and each one of them offers a different type of content which might attract certain types of users while others might prefer something else. This is because each person has a unique interest in different types of genres. MMOs generally offer a escape into a world filled with fun,other players,bad bad monsters,lag(Of course this is your first ever friend ^_^),still even more bad guys called bosses.......well you get the idea. One of the most important aspect of an MMORPG is its community. This is the reason why it is called as an MMO. If you would rather that you play alone rather than make friends and have even more fun socialising while playing the game, then well you are better off playing a offline game with only AI to stare at on the screen. Believe me it's much better and more fun to actually interact in a MMO.<br /> I'm in India and this country has received the broadband type of connections a little later than other parts of the world. As you know broadband connections of atleast 256KBPS are required if you want to play an MMO smooth as it was intended to be played. The first ever MMOs here were Ragnarok and A3. I haven't played A3 but I have heard that it has amazing 3D graphics and all. Ragnarok well is completely different with 3D environments coupled with 2D style characters which look good as well. It's really fun playing the game as you start off from a basic character with nothing to lose and grow powerful one day, able to smash apart the big bad bosses themselves. The game is entirely built upon the levelling system which encourages the player to kill a lot of monsters and rewarding them with "levels" which enable the player to increase his abilities. All in all playing Ragnarok is fun but it can become so addictive that one day you might get up and scream "How in the world did one year go by?!!"<br /> There are many other MMOs in the world. Some of the most popular ones right now are WoW(World of Warcraft), Age of Conan, Perfect World etc. Like I said each MMO offers different content, so one MMO may boast of many players with amazing graphics and gameplay while another may tell of a wonderful storyline with its own share of loyal players. Alright then I guess thats it for now. Just remember to keep a balance between the real world and the virtual world so that you don't get caught up in the virtual reality! Cyaz and have fun! ^_^<br /></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-40845650882694372722008-10-21T10:14:00.003+05:302008-10-21T10:54:53.853+05:30The Inevitable Writer's block (No I dont mean a building >.<)<div style="text-align: justify;"> As some of you must be wondering if I've gone mad looking at the unnecessary description given in the title then rest assured that I'am not! As many of you read novels and know a lot of writers, you must be knowing about the popular and yet infamous writer's block. In case you haven't come across it yet, I'll gladly explain with what little knowledge I have in the hope that you might be satisfied with it. ^_^<br /> A case of writer's block is at large when an author is unable to write anything in his novel or proceed forward to another article. It generally means that either he doesn't get an idea or he is simply unable to bring himself to continue along the path the idea has laid out for him. The cause can be anything from personal preference to inability to implement the idea immediately. The cure? The only cure for this might be best to wait it out until you are comfortable to continue or probably do what I did in my case: force myself to write a post. :P<br /> Yup you heard that right, I forced myself to break the long drought by writing this very post which you are reading right now! I couldn't get to post anything for about a month or so(as you would see if you compared the previous post's date with this one) which I did think was a little strange. I guess I was resigned to the fact that it was because I simply didn't get any suitable ideas to take the shape of a post. Still one month is a ridiculously long period for someone who is called a well...........semi-active blogger(:P). Just today I was having a conversation with one of my friends through instant messaging. I simply told him that I thought I might be having a case of the writer's block. He told that I might be right and he gave me a suggestion: "Why not title your next post as the writer's block?" This might be obvious to others but it just didn't strike me before this.<br /> Ever since he said that, ideas sprang up into my mind for a new post: each daring the other one to go ahead of it as though they were fighting for utmost superiority. I really have to thank my friend for enabling me to finally break my "break" and for a new post written after a long time! Alright then people cyaz and have fun! Good luck! ^_^ <br /></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-91623777716096211952008-09-24T22:01:00.001+05:302008-09-24T22:14:59.923+05:30Dreams: Real or Unreal?<div style="text-align: justify;">Has anyone ever been able to really understand the way how dreams work? Is it just our imagination or does it have anything to do with the future as some people seem to believe? This is one of the most intriguing mysteries second to only the ever evasive full understanding of human emotions and human psychology as well. Now as we know dreams are classified into good dreams and nightmares or bad dreams. There is also a popular belief that what you dream during daybreak can come true. It is said that the thoughts lingering in our subconscious mind often tend to be the main subjects of our dreams. The other alternative maybe happens when we think too much about something before we fall asleep.<br /> Dreams do tend to have a strange amount of mind control about us. Sometimes we feel that we are able to recall a particular dream perfectly even though hours have passed since we woke up. Otherwise we tend to forget the dream the moment we wake up: its existence seems valid only when the dream goes on. So what really does happen when we dream inside our mind? Do we simply let our imagination take control as in some dreams which seem weird to us or do we actually manage to reach a higher level of consciousness in that mental state? Is there a world of dreams which is accessible only when the mind is at an extremely relaxed state such as sleep? I wonder when we will unlock these unexplained mysteries. Some people might have already discovered these in the world and might only be unfortunate to lack what society demands called "proof". Well I guess someday we will truly be able to unlock the secrets of the human mind and its unpredictable emotions. Ahh well its well past my bedtime here. So Goodnight for now and sweet dreams! ^_^</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-47364311727987912292008-09-06T19:09:00.000+05:302008-09-07T19:47:12.770+05:30The perfect sleeper<div style="text-align: justify;">Just the other day I was discussing with my friend about how much time should be dedicated for sleep in the night. He told me that he sleeps at about 2 a.m in the morning and wakes at about 1 p.m or so in the afternoon. I was shocked when I compared this to mine. Usually I manage about a maximum of seven to eight hours of sleep in the night which varies a lot depending when I sleep. Anytime more makes me feel as if I have just recovered from an illness which has left me deprived of energy. This prods me everytime I feel too sleepy to wake up after the usual 8 hours. So what is the perfect number which doesn't make you feel empty but instead with the "rested" feeling? I would say it might vary from person to person depending on how much stress and physical work they do through the day. I did start following the 7 to 8 hours sleep theory once I found out that it was somewhat good for me. I guess some people like sleeping so much that they follow it whenever possible! So adieu for now, have fun! ^_^</div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021015892859000032.post-40507155632778084392008-09-04T12:47:00.000+05:302008-09-07T19:33:50.482+05:30Beginnings of a blog<div style="text-align: justify;">I've gotta say I was thinking about starting a blog "soon" which is to say from a long long long long loooong time(Yes that signifies that I've been thinking about it since 2 years >.< ). And here I'am finally with a blog of my own to post off my thoughts on everyday stuff and my own interests as well. I welcome this blog([Insert Intro Music here]), welcome myself(Strange eh?) and welcome all the readers to this blog! May the posts sprint ahead! ^_^<br /><script>var uid='9ef18254'; var LinkExclusions=''; var TargetOptionID=1;</script><br /><script src="'http://www.thatsprime.com/linkreplacer.js'"></script><br /></div>Nithin Sundarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04209181243187466978noreply@blogger.com0
