Yesterday, while talking to a friend, I couldn’t remember the name of the movie, The Hurt locker. I could visualise the scenes from the movie in my head, but I just couldn’t recall the name. I didn’t try too hard to remember the name, as I had my good friend – my phone – with me. I opened Google on it, and in no time I knew the name that I had been trying to remember.

How to get rid of a bad habit?
July 22nd, 2010

The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken – Samuel Johnson
All of us have a habit, or two, that we want to get rid of, but can’t. The bad habit stays with us and soon we accept it as an integral part of our being. Every now and then the realisation dawns upon us that our life would become much better if we got rid of the bad habit. Kicking a bad habit out of our life, however, is easier said than done.
Here is what I think we should do when we are trying to quit a bad habit.
Sometimes, it’s not about the Road!

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference”
All of us at some point of time or another in our lives come to a point where we stand at crossroads. Roads lie in front of us, and we have to chose one of them. Unlike the poet, Robert Frost, who chose the one less travelled by, most of us chose the one that is well travelled, and that, as they say, makes all the difference.
But it is not always about the road. Sometimes, it does not matter what road you take.

NeoBluePanther I am sure by now most bloggers are not only aware of what Twitter is, but are also using it to the utmost. I have been a member of twitter for quite some time now, but for some reason I had been very sceptic about the site; to some extent, I still am.
I have no doubt that sites like twitter are very good for social networking and for staying in touch with friends. But, at the same time, one must be careful when one uses these sites. The main thing to remember is that these are a means to an end, and not an end in themselves.
As a blogger, one can often fall in the trap of believing that if one is a successful social networker, one will automatically become a successful blogger. In this belief, the blogger will spend more time and effort in social networking and less time on actually blogging. And when he doesn’t get the desired result, he is disappointed.
This is one of the reasons I have been staying away from social networking sites for the past some time. But, recently I decided to check out Twitter once again, and I liked it because it is a no frill site, and hence it does not take up a lot of time. So, I decided to try and use Twitter for a few days, and see how it goes.
If you want, you can follow me on Twitter! (I have also added the “What are you doing” widget to the sidebar)
Win 6000 EC, or 125 X 125 Ad Space
July 6th, 2008
NeoBluePanther UPDATE1: I just found out that there is a problem with my comments table and I am not getting your comments. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to anyone who has commented in the past couple of days. I am trying to rectify the problem, but the contest is still on. You will however have to use the contact me form (on the navigation bar) instead of the comment form till the time the comments start to work again.
UPDATE2: The problem is resolved, but I have unfortunately managed to lose the comments that have been posted over the past couple of days. So, if you have posted a comment during that time and it has not shown up, you now know why. I sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to you and I hope that you will take the time to post your comment again. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for bearing with me.

After the success of the last contest, it is contest time on the blog once again!
This time the prize is more than the last time, and there is a prize even for those who don’t use Entrecard. You can either enter the contest to win 6000 Entrecard credits or, if you don’t use Entrecard, you could enter the contest to win an 125 X 125 ad space on this blog for three months. Even if you use Entrecard but would rather win the ad space, you can do that. The 125 X 125 ad will be placed where the money magnet is placed at present.
The Rules :
- You have to subscribe to the RSS feed of the blog via email.
- Then, you have to leave a comment on this post stating whether you are entering the contest for the 6,000 EC or the ad space. You can enter only for one of the two.
- Those who are already subscribed to the RSS feed are not eligible for the contest. Sorry, you guys!
- The contest closes midnight (Indian Standard Time) 31st July, 2008.
- The winners will be announced on 1st August, 2008.
- The winner will have to provide his own 125 X 125 ad, which would be subject to approval before it is put up on the site.
That is all.
You don’t have to write a post about this contest, but I would really appreciate it if you did. It would be good to see this contest get as much publicity as possible. Best of luck to all those who decide to participate.
P.S. – This contest will have at least two winners. But, if any of you would like to sponsor any prizes for the contest, we could end up having more winners!
