I was trying to add this blog into the mybloglog account. After I submitted my blog url a page came up looking something like this

I decided to go for the first option, as my knowledge of html is almost nill. This option is preferably better for me. It instructs me to enter a blog post conataining the link below as 

Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification

I hope this works.

These thought has always been with me since I gained senses. I have always wondered about death and have never been that much attached to life. Infact, i have always sensed and believed that i would die at the age of 40, exactly on my birthdate. Now, if somebody ask my why so, I DON'T HAVE THE DAMN ANSWER. It is just something like a voice from my inner soul and it has never been wrong with me. Whatever that I have felt has always came true. May be I have got a stronger sixth sense. 

I hope this one is also going to come true. As evidence, I will narrate some incidents that have been part of my life. 

1. When i was in the second year of my Engineering, I felt down from a 10 meter high ladder with my face on the ground. That morning I still remember I had so many slips from my hand, almost broke a dozen of glasses. Then, in the afternoon, I slipped from the ladder and I almost died.  

2. This second incident in the list has been my most painful day till now. In the morning, I felt something not right within. I had no problems at that time, everything was going so well. But, still something very bad kept me occupied the whole day. While I was returning from class, that maroon coloured checked half shirt that my girlfriend gave me got torned out of nowhere. I loved that shirt and she was my whole world ( Ofcourse, my parents are there in their place). In the late evening she called me up as usual. But, that one was for a different purpose. She decided to leave me, it came just like a 100000 million volt lightning to me. I got dumped ( feel sorry for myself saying this, but fact is fact ). U won't believe, I slept for two whole days after taking 15 sleeping pills that night. (I was a great fool I agree and readers please leave no comments for my stupidity, i'm already aware of that )

3. The summer vacation this year, i had to cancel my ticket for the journey back to home because of ankle fracture while playing badminton in the morning that day itself. The next morning i heard the same bus got overturned and fell into the river. 

There are a number of cases like these and it will take atleast three days if I were to write all about those. These are the major incidents. And I belief, my dear readers might be convinced that my sixth sense is quite strong. 

Now, my point is that, if these have been all true then the belief and the sense of the death at 40 will also be true. To add to it, here is another fact. At the age of 21 I was diagnosed of ALS meaning Amyotropic lateral Schlerosis and death occurs due to the failure of respiratory organs. Now, my readers may say that I will survive this one too as I have been surviving all the others. Yeah, I will ask the same, but this one is different as I felt I am dying unlike those in which I felt I will be alright. 

Whatever, I am just sharing my feelings with my readers. God knows the fate, not me. 

I have been using Google Chrome since the time it has been released. It is the best browser I have ever used. It is faster then any other bowsers present till date. I have used Mozilla firefox, Opera (the latest version), netscape, internet explorer 7, almost all the browsers available in the internet. But, I find chrome to be the best. Once the site has been browsed, then Chrome can load much faster the next time.

In order to prove it to myself, I simultaneously installed firefox, opera and chrome, and tried to browse the same website. For the first time, all the bowsers took almost the same time to load the page. But, I found out the difference in the second time I open the same page. Chrome could load the page mush faster as compared to the browsers. No doubt, Opera and Mozilla Firefox have been the fore-runners in the list of fastest web browsers. After using Chrome, I would stick to it untill a better one comes up. Regarding browsing speed I would say Chrome is much better. Apart from this, the quick access links of the latest browsed sites in the front panel gives a much better interface for quick links. The cool looks add to its features.

Everything has limitations. This applies to the Google Chrome also. I have been blogging for the last six months. I have experienced certain problems with the Chrome. These have been listed below.

1. While I was trying to change the template of my blog, certain error codes came up repeatedly. And I was unable to change the blog template. I tried using Internet Explorer, and there were no more problems. There were no problem in changing to a template as given in the blogger. I wanted some other templates which I can customize and with a better look. There I got the problem. This is one limitation of Chrome. So, whenever I am upto changing my template, I use Internet Explorer.

2. The other problem is the blogger's Posting > Create menu. Whenever I inserted pictures to the post, I used to find problems in placing the pictures to the place where I wanted. I couldn't drag the pictures with the mouse. I thought the blogger didn't support it. I have been using Chrome since the time I started blogging. Once I tried in Internet Explorer and it did work. I can drag the pictures with the mouse and it give the best flexibility in placing the pictures where I wanted them to be.

The Chrome team have to come up with solutions to these problems. There may be many more, these two only for the timebeing. If I find more, I will surely write about that also. Readers can check in regularly for more updates.

This last five days have shown me how life is going to be after I pass out from my College. I realized the world is going really fast. After this semester, I have got only one more semester to go. After that I'll be called an A grade Mechanical Engineer, ofcourse my percentage is quite good till now. Even if I do prettty bad in the next semester, it's not pull me down atleast below the A grade line. 

I think studying engineering is one of the most safest option if you're looking for an easy study. I got the prestigious selection in this Govt. of India funded NERIST. It's not bad at all. When I was in first year i was quite a sincere students, it was a habit though, as my mom is pretty strict and She has been a nightmare for me when I was in School. Thanks MOM, otherwise I won't have this percentage. I'm not saying that I'm still sincere or studying regularly, that scope is totally out of focus for the time being. 

OOps!! my story if getting off the track. I was talking about the world changing rapidly, and I realized today only. 

In the last five days, I completed 30 assignments, 3 seminar reports of atleast 30 pages each, a training dairy of 100 pages, and have given 3 seminars. In each seminar I have shown around 30 slides accounting 90 slides in total. Why I'm mentioning this is that I want the readers to imagine the time and efforts that i must have given to read the reports, sort out the points and put them in the slides. Above these I have been having internal assesment test continuously in these five days. I couldn't explain How have I done it and I don't want to get through those memories again. It'll be a nightmare. I have slept for only 10 hours in total in these five days. And this is making me sick. I'm surely going to a long sleep after this write up.

Before these five days, the whole semester I did nothing except for watching movies, blogging, chatting, and playing badminton. My major exam is starting day after tomorrow, that is on the 1st november 2008. Till now I have not read even a single chapter of any of the courses. What I know is the names of the courses only. (I have been following this routine for the last two years after I got broke up with my 'V'. She is ex though, I still prefer to called her as mine, kind of fondness)

That's why I said engineering is really easy to study if you have some knowledge of Mathematics.

I'm going for the sleep. Good night readers.

This is about a moment that I and 'V' have shared together. I used to think about this all the time, specially when it is a cold winter night, late and when i'm lying on my bed, alone in my room.

Who is 'V' ? You might be having this question in your mind. Well, she was my girlfren, we broke up two years back. Yet, her memories are still alive in my mind each one of them.

I went to JORHAT, a small town in Assam, North East India. I was too eager to see her, meet her as she accepted my proposal after two long years. I met her. But, my concern is not the moments that we spent together. This post is only for that moment, in which we talked in silence.

It was the time for me to go. My bus was scheduled to leave at 6.30 pm. It was around 5.45 pm. I was there sitting in a chair in the station. I was recalling all those moments that I spent with her during the day. I had to stay only for a day as I was having exams coming up. All the memories were lingering around me. I was missing her so much. I wished to listen to her voice just once last time before leaving. 

That time I wasn't using cellphones neither did she. She was staying in the Hostel. So, I called up from a local Phone boot to her Hostel Phone. her room was on the far side of the hostel. And I never expect her to be the first to pick upthe called. I still remember clearly, it was at the end of the fifth ring, the receiver was picked up. I heard a familiar voice, and Lo.... it was her. She was waiting for my call. She said nothing else and then started crying. I felt her tears rolling down her cheeks. I couldn't say anything nor did dhe do. I was silent and neither she spoke a word more. 

Now it was more than 40 minutes without a single word. It was 6.28 pm and the bus had already arrived and all the passengers were onboard except for me. They were calling me. But, I couldn't say anything to her, i couldn't even move. Even in silence I can hear her telling me not to go. And I am sure that she must have felt that I don't want to go either. 

All of a sudden she broke her silence and said in a very weak voice "Your bus must be waiting, go safely, I am there by your side. I LOVE YOU". If she didn't break her silence I would have surely miss the bus. I give her a smooch and said goodnight and stepped onboard the bus. Whole journey I felt as if she was sitting by my side, leaning her head over my shoulder. Sometimes I would look over as if it were for real.

Though it has been quite a time, the moment is still fresh in my mind. But, I don't know how did she knew that the bus was waiting for me. She was in her hostel and that's quite far from the station. We spoke no words, yet we were talking to each other in silence. May be it was " Silence talks better than Words  ". 

We are no more together. But, she is still a part of me.

Smile please !! 

And if you have a bad breath or a stained teeth, you won't smile at all. You might have seen the smile of Aishwaria Rai Bachchan. Isn't it awesome ?? You will surely want to smile like that and even more.

I have a simple way out to it. Follow the steps that I've given below. It's very simple and you don't have to put money for that. And I assure you a "MILION DOLLAR SMILE".

I came across these pictures of parenting. I was just left speechless when I saw these. Astonishment combined with humour and confusion left me dumb for a while.

Have a look. Do parents really did these ??

No one can live for more than a few minutes without breathing, yet how many of us are aware of the importance of proper breathing ? We need to breathe slowly and deeply. Then the body cells work in unision and bring back harmony and health to the system. Here are three breathing techniques to the system. One should practice all of them everyday as many times as one can. But, minimum one should do 11 times each of these techniques to be able to feel the benefits. If one is doing after meal there should be a gap of two hours. Otherwise, one can finish the technique and immediately sit for food.

This is a simple form of alternate nostril breathing. nadi means channel and refers to the energy pathways through which the prana flows. Shodhana means cleansing. Nadi shodhana means purification of nadis or channels.

Inhale through the left nostril, exhale through the right, inhale through the right and exhale through the left. This is one round of breathing.

I was bored that day and so as my friends were. All of a sudden this thought of going to the Famous Rock Garden of Darjeeling sprang up to my mind. I was in Gangtok then. The Rock Garden was about four hours from where I was satying. We four got up, took our gogs then hired a taxi which charged fifteen hundred INR. We started at around 8.30 in the morning. It was a pleasant weather, so we took only some light clothes.

Here are some of the pictures we have taken in the Graden. We had lots of fun that day.

This is the story of Muzakkir Sharieff, son of a poor father. He is now an avaition designer. But, how he becomes one of those is what that really matters to me.

His first design, he called it " Passion for Success (PFS-1)." It was a light combat aircraft weighing 100 kg powered by his father's Bajaj scooter engine and supported by his mother's meagre pension. All this out of his humble home in uptown Banglore. He has spent Rs. 10,000 so far on his plane, even using a couple of old chairs to support the wings. He has onlyone dream.." To fly his Passion".

He has been rewarded by HAL by offering him as a trainee in the helicopter division. And also offered to fund his education. In addition, hyderabad-based Mannan Institute of Science and Technology has offered him an engineering seat with full scholarship and hostel facilities.

It's all his inborn qualities and determination.

Sikkim, the perfect destination for spending your summer time. I went there recently only, during my study break. We four of us, all classmates have had a great time there. We planned to go to the famous Somgo Lake of Sikkim. It is 14,000 ft above the sea level. On top of the Great Himalayan ranges there lies this lake. In winter it is all frozen and ice as thick as to support an SUV is formed on the surface of the lake. And in summer even the temperature drops to 1 degree centigrade.

Here is some of the photos I have taken along with my friends.

With my friends

I started blogging only a few weeks back. I don't know anything about blogging, except that we can earn money in there. But, I don't know how. I wasn't serious at all first. But, I was bored of doing chats and orkutting only over my GPRS net connection.  I thought of giving a try to blogging. Before that I have to know what exactly I have to do and how to do it.

There is a guy in my hostel who used to do blogging. he has been doing it for around a year. He knows quite a lot better than me. And I believe those things which he told me must be the most basic steps of blogging.

Before that I would like to say that blogging is not merely for earning dollars by promoting products and services, but, it is also a platform of sharing informations which could be of help to others, expressing thoughts and ideas, sharing personal experiences, sharing knowledge etc.

Here are some easy but important tips for blogging, how to start.

First, we have to have a blog of our own. There are a lot of sites in Internet for blogging. But, not all can be trusted. There  has been a lot of complains regarding this on the matter of fake blogging sites. Some of the blogging sites where you can register your blog safely and whom I know that can be trusted are given : www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.com.

Secondly, complete your profile properly, and mind that no wrong information should be provided. Add a cool profile image. Then write a good opening post. This is going to be your first post of your blog. Better you write something about yourself and the blog  in such a way that the readers may find you as a very interesting person.

Remember that the content of the articles is the king of blogging. There are a lot of things which need to be understood for a blogger. But, don't try to do everything at just one time. Write only quality contents if you wanna have more traffic in your blog. 

Visit others blog, read them carefully, observe how they do it. And not the least, don't forget to leave a comment on his/ her article. By doing so, you are opening one more gate to your blog. The person is most likely to visit your blog, read your contents and may leave a comment too. This is very important. 

The more the visitors, the higher will be the page rank. 

Develop your blog for about two weeks, posting atleast one or more post. It's advisable that your blog should deal with  a specific field if you want to get serious about earning money in it.

Then, when your blog is good enough, you can sign up in a advertising sites for bloggers like www.blogsvertise.com, www.payperpost.com, www.reviewme.com, www.sponsoredreviews.com, www.socialsparks.com etc. Remember, here also there are a lot of fake sites. The sites I have cited above are all trusted sites. But, they have got certain rules and criteria your blog should fulfill. Read it carefully. If any of the criteria is not fulfilled they may not approve your site and may ask you to develop it more for sometime.

Once approved, they will direct you what to do. You need to frequently check your accounts (mail account, blogger account, blogvertise account) , It's simple, I won't need to tell you, they will direct you what to do by itself.

Join sites like www.technorati.com . This site are the common platform for the bloggers. If you have any queries or problems you can post it in the forum and within one day, they will give you what is to be done.

It's very simple. For more informations search through google, you will find a huge amount of instructions. Spare time to read all those from time to time.

These are only the basic overview. There are a lot more. I am still learning one by one.

Hope this has been of help to the new bloggers.
