The morning of 28th started with a bang, the tussle of making the right kinda document with Acrobat Pro. Its a really tough job getting it in the way you want it to be, in just the first shot. After the task was some what handled, it was time to leave for gurgaon- the IT mainland of North India.

After some six hours of traveling from one corner of Gurgaon to the other to wind off the work, it was time to wait at the City Centre. The Wait was an experience of not being part of the war.

At 5:30 pm, a war was on, a tussle is on, in each one of the souls who have left their office to go back to their home. A tussle to fight for their own existence, to gather space, that they could call their own. It was the time when they had to forget about the worries of their office, as it was the dawn of a new set of problems. The problems of their own homes.

It seemed all these beings were lost in their own thoughts. For them smiling at a passerby seemed merely a waste of time.

The swarms of cabs had arrived, people rushing to settle in their own. The irony was that all of them were in a hurry to get relaxed. They wanted to get into their cars and sit, waiting for the others to come. Please some one tell me is waiting what you do to relax(I am very Impatient). Meanwhile, each  one spent their time looking out of the window, mesmerized in own thoughts. The idea of talking to their fellow passenger seemed another job to them. ‘Talking’ surely is an effort, especially when you have to get a false smile on one’s face, when you are yourself low.

I could visualize my self on top of a building, when all these cars would seem like ants and these humans like food. The ants would come, swallow these beings, and set off for their way.

At the Toll Gate, I was a witness to the perspective of these ants going through a narrow channel out into an urban jungle.

Even tragedy at road, would have moved a few, while others would mostly pouring out their emotions blaming the situation as a mere time waste. (Read more…)

Its been quite a lotta time, since I last visited my own blog. I was opening it only when I got a mail saying, hey you a got a new comment. But these were all spam, filling up my mailbox each day. Finally I thought, I should get rid of all this mess. Finally got the courage and configured akismet- a spam filter for wordpress ( the tool on which my blog works ) .

My site looked old and bland. see right…———————————–>>>>>

Indeed an overhaul was required, thus I fetched a new copy of wordpress.. 2.51(current version), and put it on. Now the first thing to be done was to get hold of all the old posts (though very less in number). Here google served as a saviour and I got hold of a plugin called ‘wp-migrate‘, which let me export all the posts along with comments. Using this feature, I could have migrated to a drupal or joomla or any tool  for that matter. But I have left that for the next time.

Damn it took me 2 days to fix this new thing, which should ideally take 5 minutes, it gets messy (just when u open an editor to tweak with html or php). You wouldnt know when time flies. I have used this theme called Leia named after the princess from star wars. Here’s wat u get upon searching, (although u might find more of bikini clad women).
