The More ... The Less.....

This is a old one which I have read few times. We read but dont realise what it means. If you have some time, read it slowly and try to understand and realise what it means to miss the things we enjoyed once upon a time. No time for that too? May GOD help you out :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Today we have bigger houses, but smaller families
More conveniences , but less time

We Have more degrees, but less common sense
More knowledge , but less judgment 

We have more experts, but more problems
More medicine, but less wellness

We spend too recklessly
Laugh too little

Drive too fast
Get too angry too quickly

Stay up too late
Read too little

Watch TV too much
And ponder too little.

We’ve multiplied our possessions,
but reduced our values

We talk too much, love too little and lie too often

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life
We’ve added years to our lives, but not life to our years

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers 
Wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints

We spend more, but have less
We buy more, enjoy it less

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back
But have trouble crossing the street to meet our neighbors. 

We’ve conquered outer space,
But not inner space

We’ve split the atom
But not our prejudice 

We write more, learn less
Plan more, but accomplish less

We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait,
We have higher incomes , but lower morals

We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
But have less communication 

We are long on quantity, 
But short on quality

These are the time of fast foods and slow digestion
Taller people, and short character 

More leisure and less fun 
More kinds of foods but less nutrition

Two incomes but more divorce
Fancier houses but more broken homes

Spend more time with your family and friends , eat your favorite foods, and visit the places you love .

Use your crystal goblets…do not save your best perfume for best…throw a party for no good reason.

Life isn’t only about survival … It’s about joy.

Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life.

Remove from your vocabulary phrases like “ one of these days “ and “ someday”
Let’s write that letter we thought of writing “ one of these days “

Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them.

Activa & Shell

I wasn’t keeping track of my scooter’s mileage as I know that Activa is known to give less mileage, but I remember it was some where around 40 to 43kmpl when I checked few months ago. I recently started using the Shell petrol as I have a Shell pump on my way back home from office. I was quite surprised when I calculated my mileage last time which came to 46.7kmpl. I just couldn’t believe my self that it made such a big difference. As I wasn’t convinced that it is true and I might have calculated it wrongly so wanted to check noting down the readings CORRECTLY this time. So today when I checked it again one more wonder, not sure if I need to believe this also. It was 51.25kmpl. Now wait for one more reading?? :) this time I remember the readings correctly and there is no chance that it can go wrong. 

Activa giving 51 is something great which I never heard about. And it is not because of economy driving in fact I drive it worse than any other. Trying to beat every one at every signal and drag racing with my competitors like Innova, Scorpio, Safari and the Red Bus :) and indulging in drag races and driving it at high speed of 75kmph(High speed for a scooter at least). Even today as I was returning joined a race with two Bullets who are racing against each other. And guess who won? Me and my Active. Exaggerating? No. The signals came to my rescue and I won it :P. Also being a small scooter helped. 

So Shell and Activa… not all Activas only mine ROCKs.

Busy??!!!!!

It’s long that I had written a blog entry, was busy as usual. Back to the parent company because of recession and now traveling in the city for 2hrs daily. But it was better than expected cos of the airport. At last decided to write an entry before I forget that I have a  blog. 

Bangalore became cool for the past 2 days and I am quite happy about it after experiencing the hot sun. 

Many things to be written. Will try to do it some time later when I find time. 

And now when I tried to post my blog entry Google said that they have determined my password to be simple and forced me to change it. What all on earth are these guys getting into. Any way the whole earth is public now, nothing is private including the passwords. Some one knows them all :) Total depedence on Google :( no way out as of now.

Browser Wars.. Again….

Well some time back on my blog I have mentioned about the Browser Wars. And here is it again.

A happy moment when open source won over monopoly. I just happened to check it yesterday and was very surprised and happy to see the Fire Fox took the browser share more than that of all versions of IE put together. 

2009IE7IE6IE8FxChromeSO
January25.7%18.5%0.6%45.5%3.9%3.0%2.3%

This is from the w3schools. You can see the same info here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Also Chrome also making good progress may take time to reach a considerable share and it is good for a starter.  Now IE totals to 44.8 where as Firefox is 45.5. Wish to see the Chrome and IE swapping places now. I know it will take some time and IE will not go that bad as Microsoft won't let it. But for the moment FF wins over IE...

GIMP Rocks!!!

Long time since I changed the look of my web site. Was wondering over the weekend how to change it and then this idea struck. Simple design with a cartoon picture of mine. Sounded interesting. After searching all the pics found one which can fit. Actually there are very less of mine present so have to pick one of the existing. 

Now need to convert it to a black and white sketch. GIMP was the first one to be selected for editing but not sure how to do and also not comfortable with all the menus in it. So the google boss helped it out. Got a tutorial which does that and its pretty straight forward. Few steps and here it comes. Good and nice looking drawing of mine :) 

GIMP has too many options and not sure if some one is using all of them. But it is too good for a open source tool and of course I am not into the domain of image editing so can’t tell how good or bad it is but all I can say is it did the job and worked for me. 

Just created a wrapper and uploaded it to site.

Looks cool isn’t it? 

That’s why I say GIMP Rocks!!!!
