After a long time… once more i’m going for a weekend trip… to my favorite place.. Bombay aka MUMBAI.

The worst part about it is, i’ll be less time on my hand, and so many friends to catch up wid! Anyways, i will be back after monday. Shall put up the trips pics later after that.

Wish me luck for a good time, and no blunders [that i always end up doing.. in one or other way!]

Ektz.

ps. I will be missing out the last episode of “The apprentice” on star world today, damn! someone watch it for me, and tell me who would win, and be the apprentice. My money would obviously be on Kelly, though.

Warning to you hunter,
when your hand will not be still–
when your mercy fails your prey,
is it you or he who’s killed?

If a vampire hunter kills without mercy, then how is he any better than those vampires whom he is killing? Mercy is a characteristic of humanity, so to remain human we must excercise it and keep ourselves above those which we condemn, else we are no better than they.

Vampire Shackled
For every bit of power,
another chain is dealt.
Your triumph finds your failure,
when the hunter hunts himself.

How does a vampire get his power? By biting and subduing people, of course. Now, what happens if there are no more people to bite or subdue? Uh-oh, no more power. Is a vampire even a vampire when there’s no one to feed from? A vampire, by definition, is a being who feeds from others. Think of this poem in terms of the Taoist meditation, “If a tree falls in the wood and no one hears it, does it make a sound?” If a vampire has no victim, is he still a vampire? So you see, everytime a vampire takes a victim’s life, he’s put himself one step closer to extinction– worse, non-being. So, you see, everytime the vampire grows more powerful by taking a victim, he actually gets less powerful in the long run. And, in turn, he’s hunting himself because he, better than any vampire killer, can push himself into oblivion.

… And i hate it!! 🙂

i mean i am too lazy to get up early in the morning. And what’s worse i *accidently* fell asleep on the terrace the other day. Damn! The morning rays of sun were good, but an hour past the sunrise i felt i was going to be the mordern age vampire and be burnt if i stayed there one more minute. [cant stand heat..!! 😛 no pun!!]

Anyways this will be just a trambling rambling post. [ i dont know why i said that …]

Goodluck is following me, [unfortunate if it overtakes though.. ] I went in for an interview in Infocity. The last job i had before accident , i’m thinking about leaving. Cause it doesnt sound so good to me this days, to travel 60kms a day! I hate commuting by bus and again i wouldnt be allowed to drive for a while. So till i join that back again, i plan to try something new. A call centre. Got selected in five mins.[ yeah yeah.. am a skillful one.. special skills for interviews only:P.. i should write a book, “How to crack through interviews”!!] Well, the funny part was, the interviewer, who was half mallu, and half gujju [ good combination aye!! look wise i mean :P]
He didnt believe i was a pure downright Gujarati girl.

The same thing i’ve been hearning from a long time, Even recently i got in touch wid a blog friend Steve And when he heard me on phone, he said the same thing. That he expected a ‘gujju’ kinda of a tone in my talk and all. And i wasnt like it!!

Now i wonder should i be happy or pissed off about it!!:P

Well, I wasnt sleeping:)… not literally.

Anaesthesia does this to you, right?

I had my last surgery. After the Accident. I had my steel implants removed from my foot. Just having bedrest for a few more days and then it’ll be over as well. 🙂

I remember the day of the surgery- Thursday, i mean, lastday [it seems longer than that.. probabaly the sleep is at fault.. ] I remember being in OT[Operation theatre]… I remember talking to Anesthetic… I mean he talk a lot.:P And he was talking to me, making me talk,. Probably to measure how much of General Anaesthesia i would need. He was asking me my name.. age.. place.. blah blah…

And he suddenly asked me, why i wasnt looking at him while we were chatting..:) I replied with a smile, that i wasnt wearing my specs:P.. lol. he laughed and asked if i can count the fingers he showed me, and i replied with a pun that i would count it if he wouldnt show me the middle one… hehe… we started laughing like hell, and people outside probably kept wondering why we were laughing:)

Then we talked, about anything and everything.. he asked me about the books i love, what i study, what i work, what i think of life, and etc.. he even asked me for my phone no. hehe. now thats an odd place to be asked out.

Over all, the chat was good, it was relaxing me… i was slight bit nervous but luckily the heartbeat monitor didn’t show it. the last thing i heard, as he gave me the dose of drug, was, ” doc, this is one jolly girl you have here..”

… And everything went blank and black next. All i remember feeling is the Cold of the AC.

ps. Thats how i got rid of my steel implants in my foot that were planted after the accident in january. I slept for three hours. woke up with dull ache in my head and lot of pain in my foot. But luckily Everything is good. A few days rest and i will be absolutely fine.

pps. Whats more, my comp is officially dead. Needs some Transplant as well.[Prolly a new RAM]… will get back to blogging after that. 🙂 till then, its a bbye for a while.. and i shall try to keep in touch with all of you friends!! 🙂

This is a subject I’ve talked to a few fellow bloggers in private conversation, but never got a satisfactory explanation as to why they do not want his/her own blog to be personal looks wise as well as matter wise. I mean, a blog is who you are, it represnt your self in more than one ways.

Do you really think you describe yourself as a mere one in the crowd?

No, right? Well, thats what using a commom Blog-template says about you.

Its even more than that. Writing a public online blog means you want people to read you. To establish a contact in some subtle level of psych with your readers. And as every public relations expert says, presentation matters!!

Okay, now that i’ve convinced you to make your blog personal and rather unique by using your own stylish templates, lets talk about the troubles.

First, to get a template that you like. Well, here you have a lot of choice.. try Blogskins.com .Here a big database of templates are available to choose from. After choosing and downloading you can use it in your own blog.

Second, if your kind of design is not there on the site, then you can find people who can design it for you. All you need to do is to tell them what picture you want to use, and what kinda layout you would like for your blog in detail and they will create a etmplate for you in their own time. For an example, you can send your requests to Falconer Designs . And they will get in touch wid you back, with your quesries answered.

Now that we’ve done the template getting part, here comes the tough part, to adapt it on your blog. The third step: coding. Well, a person with a tech background would have no problems wid that. But non-technical ones can actually mess the whole thing up in small mistakes.. here you should either get in touch with a person who can have a look at ur template and find a mistake. And to be of help, I can vouch my self for that. Anyone is welcome if they want me to help them out with their blog template. Send me a mail or a YM.

Phew! Tried my best to put my point out, but at the end of the day it matters entirely on the blogger itself.

Because… I, for one, would remember a blogger by their unique templates as strongly as their writing style and matter.
