Yaa, 3 months since my last blog. And infact now that I was reading it... I remembered the circumstances in which I had written that... and strangely enough things have only gotten worse... :). But thats ok... they say there is light at the end of the tunnel. And like I always tell myself - "Barah bajne ke baad ek bajta hai" ( After 12 o' clock, there is 1'o clock) :)). I am sure my 1'o clock will come too... and come soon... :)

More than two months since I posted last...
So much happened in that short period. I went to Dubai - after 2 years gap - had so much fun. I was so happy to be there. I was myself surprised that I was so happy ! :). But then good things dont last long rite...I came back and back here...I dont know what happened...everything was so different suddenly...Hmm..
I have got to complete my thesis fast ! This thing is dragging too long. One good thing - I got a laptop :). Now I dont have to depend on saving all the stuff that I work on some H Drive or something!
I dont think anyone sees my blog anymore. So I guess I can make it a more personal thing :). Some thing like a diary...:). Naaa...this place is not going to know everything that I tell Elf ;).
Rest later.
bye,

Yes Anonymous, silence here in my blog is indeed deafening ! :). Its not that I dont know what to write. Its just that I dont know how to make it interesting. I see blogs where people discuss politics, religion, sports, etc..Well..those things, most of are able to gather off the net quite easily. So how ? Howww to make things interesting ?? You know what, I am going to have a survey. Get ppl's opinion on what would be interesting to read on these pages. And I could probably make some other frnds member of my blog. So then, they would be as responsible for its life as I would be :). Anyways, 1st off is the survey.
Oh ! And btw, I am leaving for Home this coming monday - 1st time in almost 2 years...:). The next 2 weeks I am going to compensate for the dull life I have had here...well...not entirely dull...:), its started to get a little interesting ;). What! Now dont get ideas - I was refering to the completion of my Masters degree :P. :)))

Quite sometime since I gave some input :) I kinda knew this is the way its gonna go - enthu during the 1st few days, then sssshhh ! :))
Its not that there is nothing happening around. Just that nothing happening that I can write here - for everyone to read ! :)
Anyways, in intersting news, I just signed up for 1GB GMail !! As a "valued" www.blogger.com customer, I was offered a chance to test GMail. hahaha. Naaa, I am sure they are giving it off right left and center to anyone who signs up for a blogger account. I dont think there a account signup on GMail's website. But thru blogger.com, you can get to it. In case you din know, Blogger is owned by Google. So if interested, try it ! There are some cool stuff there - like keyboard shortcuts, msg archives, conversations, etc.
Until later,

Looks to me like people are still having problem understanding what this is all about ! Well, thats ok, the 1st time I heard of this, even I was skeptical as to what is the whole idea behind a blog. And I have to admit I still dont understand it fully. :) So give it some time Najeeb, and things might fall in place. If not, you can still come here and drop some nice comments on what I say( read - what crap I say ;) ). I would be more than glad to see them.
The reason why I chose to have a blog is coz I wanted some space on web, where I can express myself...and get people to share their opinion on it. I dont want it to be like a daily update of whats going on in my life - trust me, its the most boring thing, something that even I wouldnt want to read :).

Everyone has a "threshold" or a limiting point - stressed beyond which, one's mind simply stops "fighting". Even small challenges seem daunting and one gets depressed and looses control easily enough. Some have a very high threshold and thats why they are able to cope better with stress than others. But its nooot something that one is born with. There are ways of improving onself. Most common and most practised way is meditation. I personally feel that the best way to improve one's threshold level is by doing what one feels most happy doing. Like for example, I like to play - most games - and playing is what gives me lots of joy and it definitely improves my state of mind !
I am a bit upset today, coz my parent's visa application was not accepted. I need to boost the state of mind that I am in right now, so what I am going to do is go and play TT ! Now isnt that a nice excuse not to study ;) :)))
