Time flies very fast

Today morning I woke up late. While in hurry to get ready and go for job, My eyes stopped on calender. It was 2nd February. Though I am aware of the dates and time everyday, I just stopped at calender. I couldn’t believe for a moment that one month of this new year has passed. It felt like last week was new year eve. But the calender shows something different. The bitter truth.

No one can control time. So do I. I felt like I wasted this whole month. I did nothing but just job, job and just job. I was still standing in front of calender. I cannot express that feeling in words correctly. But it was some kind of  bad feeling. I felt like I am turning into a robot who wakes up in morning. Goes to job. Comes back. Sleeps and repeats the whole cycle again.

Yeah!! In between those works I do the day to day mandatory stuff like eating, walking, brushing etc.etc. Other than that?? Well nothing. I got this feeling for the first time. I don’t want this again. I was like…. disturbed. Sigh… I walked towards bathroom for shower and the life cycle started again. Thank god.. It didn’t affect my work today.

I decided to blog about this and take out all the feeling. I reminded of Terminator. In this film those robots look very similar to humans. But they are from the future. I thought why future when we already are robots. We have become robot over the time. This everyday life cycle seems to be perpetual. I am not Arnold(My physic is the proof) and I don’t want to be like him. I am just good as Human being and not a robot. I cannot stop time but I will catch it’s speed. Soon. Very soon..

Till then..

Think Nonsense…

One year of nonsense

/ Guttu

Finally…The moment I have been waiting for the whole month. It’s 1st February 2009. One year of my blog. I am really happy to come all this way. Before I write anything else, I would like to thank to al the readers and commentators who helped this blog grow. Not much, But this blog has 550+ comments spread throughout in 410+ posts. Not bad for a nonsense blog.

Since this is “One year post”, I’ll repeat all the good things said about my blog. :tongue: Frankly, I’ll repeat this any number of times, I never thought readers will like the nonsense I write. I just thought of giving a try. Something that no one else have done. I am not as successful as many other professional bloggers, But more than what I thought. It’s hard to know what peoples like. Look.. They liked nonsense.

On the first day of this year, I wrote a post about my goals for this blog. I have not kept them high as I was sure I’ll have less and lesser time for this blog this year. The effect is already noticeable. Last month being my lowest blog post count for the past 12 months. Though there were some other reasons as well. I am now totally focusing on my time management. Otherwise things will get worse. It’s hard to announce that I’ll blog alternate days from next month onwards. Not this month as this “One year month”.

Back to topic. Throughout this year, I learned a lot of things. I learned how to make your blog public. Get a good exposure. If my blog was a niche blog then with all the publicity, I would have generated a lot of traffic. Earlier I had to post comments, use traffic exchange and similar blah blah to get traffic to my blog. But now search engines generate most of it along with bookmarks and subscriptions. Recently I started giving full feed to readers.

What next?? The domain for this blog is now six months old. Now I bought two more domains and I am working on them. I want to start them as soon as possible, but not incomplete. So it may take some days. They will be up anytime during this month. Secondly, I am working on completing all the goals I kept for the year. This is not possible with your support. If you have a good blog, Help me spreading nonsense. I will do the same for you.

Thanks to all readers one more time for the support…

Going off track

If you have noticed, throughout this month I have failed to update blog on daily basis. I was successful for the whole year to update it daily. With the start of new year, I have failed to do so. There is no single definite reason for this failure. I want to put all those reasons in this post so that I get some relief from the failure.

The first reason being my previous web host. I don’t know what happened to the servers but they kept my blog offline for about three days. A perfect start to new year as I said already. The staff must have been in the “new year eve” environment for these days. Lot’s of booze. I think my old admin friend left that company. I didn’t got any replies from him. Hello… Anyone home??

Then I changed my web host and was happy to get good speed. Things looked good. But when everything is going ok, something bad is about to happen. Suddenly I started getting memory errors. I mailed and mailed lots of time. Got replies like “Fixed”, “Done” and similar one liners(And one worder’s). Finally my blog was offline again due to new web hosting. After some hours it was back but I was getting too many errors. It looks like he installed CentOS again. Everything works quick and no errors now. Continue reading →

Memories from the past

Our life is divided into many phases. The most important is the learning phase. During this time we are dedicated to learning and nothing else. Our parents expect us to learn more than what they did. This is the time when we gather friends which we often find in different places throughout the journey of life. So this phase is more important to me. I have more experience of this phase and I haven’t tasted the other phases. :wub:

This learning phase is further divided into Pre-primary, Primary, Secondary, higher Secondary, Graduation and Post Graduation. This is the system in India. Pre-primary I was too young and I can’t remember anything about that stage. Well there is one thing I do. My mother with a stick in her hand. I am crying… I don’t wanna go to school….Due to this whenever I see a picture of Goddess Durga, I picturize my mother. The stick being her sword.

Then comes the Primary. I was too much shy during this time. I hardly remember my friends and rare to meet the ones I know. I remember my class teacher giving me a paper with a speech written on it. I was told to memorize it and read it in front of all the students of the primary. That is during the assembly hour. I was so nervous that I forgot my speech. My teacher who was besides me relieved me, encouraged me. She told me to read the speech from the paper. My voice was hardly audible. She continued to give me written speeches and my voice was oud enough to be heard. By the end of my Primary school I was very confident in giving speeches. Continue reading →
