Lorem Ipsum

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam tempor tristique turpis. Nunc tincidunt vulputate ligula. Mauris tempus porta magna. Integer et risus ut felis sagittis viverra. Quisque quis lorem. Nam tempus lorem. Donec bibendum, orci vitae tincidunt lacinia, leo massa faucibus eros, quis gravida massa sem id lectus. Proin.

Just got a random thought, what LOREM IPSUM meant? Quite regular to see these words but still never bothered to find its meaning. And when I did, I was astonished to find that this paragraph, which I found quite troublesome when using many popular publishing wizards, was not that vague as it appeared. Having a history of over 500 years and withstood the changes in printing and publishing industry the paragraph is now a standard dummy text for printing and typesetting industry. The text is used simply for the reason that it is very less likely to distract people focussing on text layout because of unreadability. Moreover it has more-or-less equal distribution of characters and so on.

So fellas, everything is not that vague as it appears!!!

My New Year Resolutions : Day 1

Like always and almost everyone I too made some new year resolutions. Nothing special, but an old itinerary I made in late August of 2007. So here goes the list and what happened to it...

• Wake up on or before 9 in morning : Obviously, I failed.


• Check for some early morning television : Oops another failure*


• Study for atleast 6 hours daily : Day 1 was partial success, but day 2 was a tragedy!


• Leave everything and roam around after 7 in evening : It got to be a success as I got Traveller's Foot Syndrome!


• Television after 10 : A huge success, how could I miss those shows?


• Night Browsing : Hit for my nocturnal being, proofs are here only!

Still I keep on moving as that's the best I can do, making 1440x1024 claims to give 1024x768 results. It was an average begining this year. But who cares if results are gonna be good???

Cut Short

We constantly try to get rid of our short-comings and many a time do things to hide our short-falls, but in the process we somehow accentuate the very same weaknesses of our-selves. A person with receding hair line would try to grow his hairs long or a person with glares to get rid of those. A person with average appearance can go for plastic surgery or in nut-shell there are always short-cuts available but those do not help in most cases. In the mean-time we tend to hurt ourselves. But the real way of living life is to laugh at the problems thrown to us by life. So as a new year resolution we can pledge to live and enjoy our lives to the best and try to suppress the negativity as we ought to highlight the positive. Lets cut short the pain, unless you enjoy it as a way of living.

Happy New Year to all my friends.
