Hello @sgNetBook

As of now, I am officially migrating to a netbook.

Reasons are quite simple. My work is all about making lot of presentations, making bills on excel and writing an occasional document or two. Apart from this, I watch movies, listen to music, spend a lot of time on Internet. And I am on the move all the time. And I have a smart phone (#sgBB).

A netbook allows me to do all these things very effectively. It weighs less than 2 KGs, it has good battery life (will buy a spare battery), it has a big enough keyboard to allow me to write fast without too many acidents, and yet a small enough form factor to allow me to carry it with me in my bag pack. Only thing that I would probably miss is a good mindmapping tool for a netbook and an alternative to iTunes.

For my infrequent design and dev needs, that are anyways minimal (and will remain minimal for the foreseeable future), I have #sgAcer and #sgDesktop!

To get it up and running, I have already accessorised #sgNetbook with a Tata Photon (till I get a 3G card), Sennheiser earplugs, notepads, pens and a Logitech cordless mouse.

P.S.: This is the first post on #sgWOW that was thought on #sgNetBook.

Sab Kuch To Hai

Sab kuch to hai!

Ek chota sukhi parivar hai, bade saare acchhe dost hai,
Kuch anjane chehre hain aur kuch ajnabi saaye bhi hai.

Sar par chhatt hai, sone ko bistar hai,
Jeb main paise hain aur khane ko khana hai,
Broadband internet connection hai aur mobile main balance bhi hai.

Thoda sa paisa hai, thodi si shauhrat hai,
Thoda sa namak aur thodi si mirch bhi hai.

Sapne hain, khawab hai,
Hausla hai aur kuch dhundali manzilain bhi hai.

Jo kuch chahiye, wo sab kuch to hai.
Sab kuch hai, aur kuch kami bhi hai.

Pal Pal Dil Kay Pass

Another gaana from Kishoreda!

Pal pal dil ke paas tum rehti ho..

Jeevan mithi pyaas ye kehti ho..

Har shaam aankhon par tera aanchal lehraye..
Har raat yaadon ki barat le aaye..

Mai sans leta hu teri khusboo aati hai ..
Ek mehka mehka sa paigam lati hai..

Mere dil ki dhadkan bhi tere geet gati hai..

Deewano ki ye baatein deewane jante hain..
Jalne mein kya maza hai parwane jante hain..

Tum yu hi jalate rehna aa aa kar khwabo mein..

I wonder if he's talking about me!!

Twenty Eleven

2011 is here. And like all new years, brings with itself hope, aspirations, dreams, resolutions checklists and last but not the least, a blog post.

Normally on new years, I make myself some promises, make a few resolutions and set a few targets. This year is no different. I have promised myself that I want to end 2011 as the best year of my life so far. And inshallah I will do so. There are finer details, let me keep them behind the veil for the time being though.

Here are wishes to everyone for the year ahead. Hope the year brings with it lots of prosperity, luck and happiness.

P.S.: If you are looking for inspiration, check these (1, 2, 3) Cadbury's new year ads.

P.P.S.: Hope to become regular with blogging once again!

So long

Yaari Dosti and Phone Calls

I have reached that point in life where I don’t get time to call friends. Not that I am busy. I go our for long lunches, go see movies, sleep enough, take breaks etc.

But I still cant find to call old friends! Damn!

More about Mobile Blogging

So now that I have a smart phone and a lot of tome on hands to kill, I am trying to discover what all can/may (till about two days back I didn't know the difference between the two) I do with one.

Of the many things, the one I am most excited about is mobile blogging. Pity my wordpress blog is still not accessible from this device but I can use blogger and post here.

Subscribers beware! For the fury of mini blogposts is about to be unleashed on you!

Indefinitely
