Couldn't have been more apt.
MacBook. Fixed.
After I spilled water on my MACBook, I was told of 1000 things to do (a complete list follows) but here are few things that you MUST do.
- Switch it off. Water will act as a conductor and will burn the circuits. Do not, I repeat, do not switch on your laptop (or any other electric device) until its completely dry. You will have to resist the temptation to see if its working after you spill water. Please resist it and let the water dry.
- Remove battery. For obvious reasons.
- Somehow, remove water. Use a hair dryer, put it under the sunlight, usea lamp, a fan, even bury the laptop in a sack of rice.
Spilled Water. On the Macbook.
:(
My legendary Macbook - the home of my ideas and thoughts for last more than 18 months. I hope it get backs to shape soon :(
Futility of the Blip on Radar.
One fine day, when Mother Earth is going about its revolutions and rotations, the birds are trying to hunt for birdseed, millions of men and women would be running around doing meaningless work, trying to justify their jobs and existence, someone on the radar, a blip would flash brilliantly. And then it will fade away. To oblivion.
All the meaningless things (read cribbing, working, blogging, traveling, sleeping, walking, talking, writing, reading, justifying, even thinking) that we humans engage in, trying to follow the crowd, in hopes of leading the pack someday are futile. We are just trying to while away time. And mind, the machine needs constant motion. It needs some cranks, something or the other keep itself occupied. We oil it by indulging in mental masturbation. It takes different shapes for different people. Some people play cricket, some create companies, some donate their money, some are left in oblivion, some think they think what they are thinking and the things that they think and not really worth thinking, some travel, some sleep and many dream. Most work. Without realizing the futility. Of being just a blip on radar.

Luck By Chance
Saw Luck By Chance today. Amongst other things, Farhan Akhtar continues to impress with his performances. Konkana Sen Sharma looks gorgeous as ever. Isha Sharvani added the glitz to the movie. And then there were assorted stars, semi-stars, starlets, yester-stars, almost-stars etc.Few things that I can recall from the movie
- luck, fate, destiny are all words coined by weak to justify their failure to reach their goals
- if someone is content in life, nothing would happen
- confidence is nice, over-confidence is not
- people who know you when you were growing up, they tell you the truth and you need them more than the new friends that you way. (reminds me of that quote, "people you meet on the way up, remember them, you will meet them on the way down")
Strawberry Frog - Dinosaur and Frog
Ever since I heard about this guy called Scott Goodson, I have been inspired by his work and his thoughts. His agency - Strawberry Frog is an interesting way to go about running an advertising and marketing business. Today on his blog, he shared this video that they made "a few years ago to have some fun with the way we do it". I think all agencies should learn from him.
