First of all, I would like to thank Chris Brogan for giving bloggers like me something to write about. Yes. In his blog he has given a list of 100 topics which he hopes that bloggers write about. In his blog he has clearly explained how some people approach him and ask about how he manages to get topics to blog about each day. He has explained how his situation is quite the opposite as for him, he has too much to write about. Not boring you anymore with my reporting. "He said, He hopes, He explained" Ok no more. So one of the topics I got from that list was: "How Flickr Did It Right" There were  a variety of topics to choose from but I chose this because I wanted to do some research before writing. Let me be honest here. At this moment when I start writing I have no clue what it is. Yes I do know its part of the popular new generation networking band wagon and that it has something to do with sharing. Maybe pics or reports or articles. I donno. In fact, I dou...

I write this just a few minutes after a discussion with my team at work. Well it was a heated as well as a humorous debate but I was just a silent spectator as mostly Andhra guys were speaking and for the record, we had people belonging to Seemandhra(Non Telangana) and Telangana side as well. My honest opinion in this issue is that a state should not be divided. I have not done a detailed research about this topic so far. Today I heard some claims that Telangana people have been deprived of many resources and opportunities for a long period of time. If that is the case then a lot more has to be understood by myself before I pass a statement on this issue. However my general stand that a state should not be divided remains firm. What is this issue all about? Why did it come up for discussion today? The basic reason is the fact that, today in all leading national newspapers, the headline is: To quote Times of India: " Protest continues; trains, airports, hospital services...

Recently I was reading about the United Nations and it was then that I started wondering what lead to the formation of this great international organization. Though I have a high level idea, I felt the need to delve into the details and get a proper understanding. In addition to this I also felt like putting it on my blog. The basic idea is to write about a topic each day. Make it as long as possible during the day and conclude it by the end of the day whatever the amount of info gathered. Get Knowledge and Share knowledge. Live and let live. Blah! If you open the website www.un.org and check the about UN tab, you will find some basic details such as...or wait. How about a question? Who coined the name United Nations? Any clue? It was the late US president Franklin D Roosevelt and was first used in the Declaration by United Nations of 1 January, 1942. Now that's an easy date to remember right? All you need to keep in mind is the year 1942. And did you know that American b...

As the title suggests, you might be expecting a day with bright sunlight around, mild breeze brushing through your hair, trees swaying in delight and some things like that. Ok, I admit, I was never too good at things like these. Describing nature and all, reminds me of a book I had for class X named The Village by the Sea, written by Anita Desai if I remember right. Well more than the actual storyline what I remember is the fantastic description of nature, a bit boring at times, though it was an awesome book overall. So as I was saying, you might be expecting all this, but not quite the "scene" here, its raining, and heavily at that, cats and dogs or whatever you like to call it. But the mornings are ok, atleast the 20 minutes I take from home to office. The weather is pleasant and there is a huge gush of air towards the entrance of my office, which is quite refreshing. What are the drawbacks of not reviewing an article before publishing? Well quite a lot, grammar, spe...

A Jobless Day at Office As per my previous post this was supposd to be my next post title, but would you mind if I told you that I fooled you? Actually its not that I wanted to, but just that I felt my present state is not right to put a blog post about my work. It needs some sedimentation. Its kindof stirred, not being a guy who has serious loads of experience I doubt if the sedimentation I want will ever occur? Atleast from many others' opinion it will remained stirred forever. Now this reminds me of something, a post I saw somewhere, it was in some way motivating, given the fact that it is good to know that you are not alone. The post read like this, "Do you know there is an association for people who hate their job??   .. .. .. Its called 'Everyone'! " Somehow at this very instant of time it seems to make sense. Where did we start and we are we at present? In life, I believe at times it is good to take a break, to pause, to think, to introspect. ...

To start with, I think I should justify the heading, the title post, well, this is again one of those blog posts I'm putting in after a very very long time in which a lot of wonderful and not so wonderful things have happened in my life. Well thats why its called "The blog post!" One of the books I have been recently reading is Sidin Vadukut's Who let the dork out?. About the book and all, its quite funny and interesting and it was more interesting for me as was written by a malayali. Some words randomly thrown here and there did make some sense to me! The sad part is that well, in between I got lazy and still have around 50 pages towards the climax. This trait of my character that I identified is that I do not like to dive deep into anything. I might find something interesting and trust me, I dont even start with anything if I dont find it very interesting.I get the plot then I leave. Its too difficult to keep my interest pinned onto something. But these days ...
