80/20 principle

It says that you spend 20% of your time on things that yield 80% of the result.

I guess I spend about 30% of my time on orkut or gmail. So will i get results from there. Hehe ;)


But a great book, a must read. A must buy too.

minglebox

Created an id yesterday on this networking site.

It is networking site but i think more of a blogging site where you can also have communities.
Has a not so good interface, takes a little time to load.

But then it gives you an option of the jukebox, just pick the songs you want to listen. Add them and you have the option of listening to them while browsing. No need to keep the songs on your PC. Listen to them from the site. Cool.
You just cant select a playlist when listening while browsing, so you have to go to the site and pick the next song. Or may be i have not figured out how to work with that ;)

Overall a cool site, still got to evolve a lot. I still love Orkut.
Like it for the jukebox ;)

Disguised monsoon -- Mon(a gate to a temple or castle)+ soon

Ah finally the rains are here. It has brought a respite from the scorching heat.
The temperature had risen to 46 degrees. Their was no respite from the scorching sun.

And then it rained in the nearby areas and the temperature came down. We could then enjoy the morning breeze as well as the evening walk.

Then the monsoon showers blessed the city. What a respite and it was a joyous time. People started enjoying the rains. They would enjoy the rain falling on them.

Soon the rains started flooding the roads and traffic became a problem. Almost all the roads were flooded and since the roads had potholes maneuvering the cars became a problem. One tire would enter one pothole hidden under water and the others would be in some other.

Commuting became a food digesting exercise.

And then it stopped raining but since the clouds were there the humidity rose. Unlike a rose it made the atmosphere sticky and unpleasant.
The city has many big malls so people flock there and enjoy the weekends there, weekdays are spent in the office, playing office office.

Its July now and the weather is bound to stay the same till end of August.

Till then its spending the days in the Office and weekends in the malls. In between are parties and commuting to the office.

And the day passes by................
