I wonder..

I wonder if I have wht it takes to start.
I wonder if I have wht it takes to ignore all the criticism and listen to my instincts n just start.
Like a runner's feet start when he hears the gun go off
Like an engine starts when it gets the spark

Maybe I need to resume.
Like a patient recovering from a coma.
Or like wakin up from sleep everyday.

Maybe I need to just start over.
Maybe I just need to reset n then wait for someone to come n make me start over. Or let me be. till time reaches 0.
I wonder if these thoughts count as startin.. or these thoughts count as givin up
*sigh*

Change

Today is the day I start to simplify my life.
I knw tht startin a new blog plan doesnt really help.. but wht the
hell? I just need to feel productive. I mean doin the same interest
questions in Math again n again is not really productive.. or doesnt
feel productive alteast.
I need to like.. DO something. Which will make me work for it. liket
think out of the "box" .Who came up with tht anyways? Spendin all the
time in Boxes (aka "rooms") I just LOVE gettin the bleep out!

So now all I have to do is make yet another list .. A list of how I
will change shit arnd here
Today is the day I start to simplify my life. No. Really.

(hmm I wonder how long will it take to feel btter now)

VLC Updates to 0.9.2 with New Interface and Features

ooh I'm so excited abt this one :D finally they really released a new version.. not mini version like miniversion i of the same 0.8.5 :P


The popular open-source VLC media player has released a significant update with an interface refresh for Windows, Linux, and Unix, improved playlist and media library tools, and a whole lot more. The release, codenamed Grishenko, also adds support for more input and codec types, which means that the media player that you can always count on to play back any file you throw at it has gotten even better. VLC 0.9.2 displays album art, includes a metadata editor, scrobbles to Last.fm, and even includes YouTube video support (just give VLC the URL of the video you want to watch). VLC media player is free for all platforms. While you're getting cozy with the new version, be sure to check out how to master your digital media with VLC.

The story of a Pencil

I got this amazing story from teh @arabista's blog :D

A boy was watching his grandmother write a letter. At one point he
asked:'Are you writing a story about what we've done? Is it a story
about me?'
His grandmother stopped writing her letter and said to her grandson:

'I am writing about you, actually, but more important than the words
is the pencil I'm using. I hope you will be like this pencil when you
grow up.'

Intrigued, the boy looked at the pencil. It didn't seem very special.

'But it's just like any other pencil I've ever seen!'

'That depends on how you look at things. It has five qualities which,
if you manage to hang on them, will make you a person who is always at
peace with the world.'

First quality: you are capable of great things, but you must never
forget that there is a hand guiding your steps. We call that hand God,
and He always guides us according to His will.'

'Second quality: now and then, I have to stop writing and use a
sharpner. That makes the pencil suffer a little, but afterwards, he's
much sharper. So you, too, must learn to bear certain pains and
sorrows, because they will make you a better person.

'Third quality: the pencil always allows us to use an eraser to rub
out any mistakes. This means that correcting something we did is not
necessarily a bad thing; it helps to keep us on the road to justice.'

'Fourth quality: what really matters in a pencil is not its wooden
exterior, but the graphite inside. So always pay attention to what is
happening inside you.'

'Finally, the pencil's fifth quality: it always leaves a mark. in just
the same way, you should know that everything you do in life will
leave a mark, so try to be conscious of that in your every action'

damn nice story

Supercar's 10,400km trip for oil change

okay some things are crazy. then their is the even more crazy. now this is totally insane.
WTF? eh doesnt trust his own ppl?? Could'nt he think of the cheaper alternative, if he just had to bring in the ppl from the 'west' why not just fly em in instead of doing this crazy shit


A wealthy Arab from Qatar sent his Lamborghini supercar on a 10,400km round-trip to London for an oil change - at a cost of more than $46,000, it has been revealed.

The $380,000 vehicle travelled on a scheduled flight from Qatar to Heathrow, and was flown back to the Middle East after the service, the Telegraph in England reported on Thursday.

The journey of the Murcielago LP640, which features in the latest Batman film The Dark Knight, has sparked outrage from environmental groups.According to reports, the black and gold car cost $7,000 to service at
an approved dealer, plus around $40,000 to freight to Britain and
back.
Jenny Evans from the campaign group Plane Stupid told the Telegraph:"This horrifies me. It is another example of how rich people exploit and pollute the planet because of their money."

A Friends of the Earth spokesman added that he thought the 10,400km
trip was "ludicrous". Qatar Airways confirmed it carried the vehicle.
