Will chrome change the www?

I am really excited waiting for the release of Chrome. Reading the book, it seems like its going to be significantly different from all current browsers.

And another one...

P1020368 Had a good start to the day, courtesy this Grey Butcherbird. Was having my usual cup when his mixture of piping cries and throaty calls caught my attention. That's the one common thing amongst all birds who visit me, they're all incredibly noisy!
P1020340 I had clicked this bird in June thinking it was the omnipresent Magpie-Lark until today I saw the "hook" on the beak. It feels good to get it right now.

New kid on the block

P1020359

On an inevitably lazy Sunday morning, I heard a recognizably new voice outside the balcony. Luckily he was gracious enough to allow ample time to get some reasonable shots (though the tree branches and criss-cross wooden planks of my balcony wall made it a bit hard to get a good look at him)
It is a male Oriole(Fig bird). Few more pictures here.
Hope the visitors keep coming often!

R.I.P. Randy Pausch

Its never tiring to hear an inspirational person talk, especially if one can see the reason behind his advice.

Stop. Think. Continue...

A significant chunk of our day (and thus our life) is spent doing "routine" things. By that, I mean, activities we are used to doing, and almost do them subconsciously. In my case, for example, brushing teeth, or washing the dishes.

I am almost always thinking about something else while doing the above activities. I thought about it, and as of now, feel that its a mistake. It will be nice to concentrate on what I'm doing rather than something else. So now the idea is to repeat the Stop what you're doing - Think if you can do it better - Continue doing it at regular intervals, to keep myself honest. My mind has a tendency to wander, so I am resorting to this.

Lets see how it goes.

Ram bhakti (devotion) can lead to harmony among all religions - L.K. Advani
