Hi Everyone

Happy New Year and Eid Mubarak.

I’ll be busy with Qurbani related stuffs in a while …

Bye for the moment and take care everyone

History will Determine

Saddam Hussein… to some he is the Hero, to some he is the Villain… to some he is a Martyr, to some he is a Convicted criminal.

Autocracies and crimes he has committed against Iraqis and humanity are innumerable. His rule was a testimony of political assassination and repression. Even then the way he was denied justice is unacceptable. You can’t deny someone his right and justice simply because he denied others.

Now he is part of history… history will determine his position.

Merry Christmas

I’ll be away for 2/3 days.

In the meantime, wish everyone Merry Christmas .

Updates

I was checking blog updates… I was amazed to see the Yahoo 360 Products blog with news of new updates… wow, it’s simply great… there is tagging, tag cloud (If u haven’t yet noticed, check the space between Visit Counter and Calander), List View, Spell Check… there are some other stuffs as well.

I think tag is an essential part of any blog platform, 360 should have given this right from the beginning. List View is n usefull innovation, spell check is also a gud move.

The 1st thing I’ve done is tagging all my blog entries, u can now browse my blog entries easily according to tags.

Take a coffee break , have fun and enjoy the new service.

NB: There is another interesting upgrade, I’ve used that in this post. If you haven’t yet figured out, check again.

From Garden to Peas

Irregular diaries, blogposts, regular sleeps… my life is going lazy, quite study less; sometimes couple of words from different books; easiest time in my life. Or hardest!!!

�

Reading one’s mind is a tough job. But I think I’ve found a way to crack my own one. Musical taste and song preference is a good parameter. If I check my last.fm site, it’s amazing how it is building, day by day. Viewing the stat as a unit might not give sensible message. But looking at the time of hearing different tracks reveals greater information.

�

There are moments when I keep hearing Savage Garden, Yaatri, Tutul, Richard Marx, Enrique Iglesias… On the other hand, sometimes I hear Black Eyed Peas, PCD, Daddy Yankee, Snoop Dogg, NFS or Fast and Furious tracks. Preference can switch between the two extremes or attain any intermediate level.

�

Social networking and Web 2.0 made things quite different. People are letting so much information about them publicly available. There are two types of people: One group is doing this without knowing, the other unconsciously. I would have never said others what music I hear. Nevertheless, I’m doing that in Web knowingly and more effectively… anyone willing can get idea about my mood simply by checking out what I am listening… You don’t have to be a mind reader or a psychologist, just check out one’s overall top track, and then see Recent tracks. I bet even a numb person can read the message.

�

Anyway, things are turning bit complicated. I didn’t intend to write an article on social networking and its consequences.

�

There are some songs which are better not listened to. They say words which you are afraid to think or realize. But it feels different when you hear those. It feels bad, or devastated or even worse… but it’s real. You can hear your heart. I don’t know whether it is good or bad! But sometimes you’ve to pay attention to the unattended, to ensure there is no rebellion. Bribing own-self……how funny, isn’t it?

�

There are phases of life, when you are at one phase you feel like you’re stuck. Nevertheless, we shift to another, when the time comes. Even if we try to remain stuck, there is no way. There is a wise saying-”Time and tide waits for none.”

�

We all have different strategies to cope with the adverse situation. Sometimes we hear music, sometimes we write… our own words… diaries, poems, quotes… without caring what others may think. May be no one will read them again. May be some day, you yourself will read them. These words are the greatest words written in life, they are the most appealing, simply because you write them ignoring your society, audience… The funny thing is some of them may turn out to be the best writings in your writhing history. Things that have been done meaninglessly become the most meaningful.

�

We don’t know what is waiting for us. The only thing in our hand is dreams. Hopes and dreams keep us alive and willing to take chance.

Metabolic Pathway and Expectation

I’m bit irregular with Yahoo 360 lately… Passing busy time. Anyway, here is one of my dairy entries written in the mean time.

Nothing is more shocking than seeing your life philosophy was wrong.

�

Just returned from nearly 2 hour long drive with Ishtu. We had different sort of talkings, high thought to our feelings. It was fun driving, as always.

�

Once I wrote, the toughest job for a human mind is simulating others’ minds (in conventional way, reading others minds). Nonetheless, we all have to. It’s the basis of society. People just don’t come to you and say, “I feel this way about you” or “I didn’t like this”. We have to read it out.

�

In a metabolic pathway, if the 1^st step is non-functional, there is no use of other downstream pathways. You read wrong, you have different expectation, you draw different conclusion. At the end of the day, you’re the person who suffers, not s/he.

�

Funny thing is, we don’t even know our own mind, let alone others. Each and every day, your mind changes. How can you blame others?

�

Knowing ownself doesn’t solve the problems either. Sometimes you realize stuffs that shouldn’t be realized (not in the sense they are forbidden, rather it brings more pain than the joy of knowing something hidden). Involvement of others makes things even more complicated. At the end, you have to take a decision. Taking a firm one is the best option. Anyway, we are far from being ideal.
