I’m getting Inspired…
..By random tweets I see and blogs that I read.. Sometimes they do make sense.. Not like the ones where you think you can fly like superman.. Or that Nobody noticed when you fell off your chair in a bar (*after 1 drink).. The ones which *Actually* make sense..
So here’s my new life plan..
* Stop doing things that I don’t like – This includes work, meeting people, eating bad food, smiling at people I hate
* No Whining – Yeah, So I didn’t get the raise I wanted.. So my parents never took me to Disneyland.. My boyfriend cheated on me.. Whatever.. Just Get over it..
* Take Charge – So no more sitting around and complaining about things not working out.. So If I want something done, I’ll go and get it…
* Get My Priorities right – No more focusing on things which don’t matter in long run includes petty office politics..
* Get My Finances Straight – No more holidays or shopping till all bills and debts are paid off.. Includes family loans 
* Be a better Human Being – I don’t care if that’s being idealist, but I think I want to concentrate more on content life than corporate.. So don’t be surprised if down the line, I quit IT to move into social sector.. not yet though.. too many bills to clear

And My Band is Jelly’s Last Jam- Using Randomness on Net
Courtesy AD
My Band Name - Jelly’s Last Jam
My Album Name – Till Sickness Comes
My Album photograph – http://www.flickr.com/photos/_ilkin_/3296789076/
What would your own album look like if you were in a band?
Follow the directions below and find out…
Here are the rules:
1 – Go to http://www.wikipedia.com and Hit “random”. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and select “random quotations”. The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 – Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.
5 – Post it to FB/Blog with this text in the “caption” or “comment” and TAG the friends you want to join in
So Tag.. You are it..

Now that did surprise me..
I’ve always been a flickr fan.. Even though I’ve had albums on Kodak, used yahoo photos, Sony’s imagestation, HP snapfish, ZoomIn and even Snapgalaxy.. I love to click and share.. so I keep looking for better and better photo sharing site.. Somehow, I always forgot to count facebook as one.. And turns out, it’s infact a leader in this category.. Job Well Done FB Guys..

It’s really not your fault that you drank too much
American Jury continues to amaze me.. Recent verdict is bit confusing. Tell me again how was the guy only 35% responsible??

Some updates..
I’m a CSTE now.. Even though I forgot to study (and 10 other similar excuses), turns out I still know more than enough for certification.. (And I know, I shouldn’t be bragging about it.. And like most times, I really don’t care.. I’m just happy about it..)
It’s V’s wedding tomorrow.. Spent last night with her.. functions start today.. No time to breathe til Monday Morning..
I realized I’m ready for wedding just not for marriage yet.. Can’t I have just that
Mom’s back.. And its awesome to have her here.. And, of course, like always she got me loads of cool stuff (includes really beautiful saree)
No progress on work front.. Still investigating different tools and some maintenance stuff.. aaarggh
After accompanying different people for different shopping expeditions, I’m done for the year.. Next person who wants me to come along, ask on your own peril..

Think, Tweet and Voila.. Truth is out there
very interesting article on how Twitter is changing search and brand Dynamics..
I should know. I monitor our product related tweets everyday.. It always helps to know what a user is thinking about your stuff..
Of course, I’m, somehow, not so regular on it.. I’ll try harder.. reallly
