Futile Attempts
I’ve been trying to improve my Hindi to an extent where I can go through an entire conversation without using a word of English. I’ve mostly failed miserably at it because I don’t know such pure Hindi. But I want to learn. Problem is, there isn’t anyone who I can converse with to practice and no material from where to learn and practice on my own.
And only in this attempt have I realized how bad my Hindi is and how difficult articulating myself in it is. And people think I’m nuts if I try to talk purely in Hindi. A colleague has even called me crazy for trying to use pure Hindi because according to her, it’s to medieval :D
Some times I think I really AM nuts :-|
GPL is too restrictive
I want to base a theme on Sandbox but unfortunately it is based on GPL which I think is too restrictive. I would rather have it in LGPL/MIT/AFL (Even MPL) instead which are more open and non-restrictive.
Sigh.. I’ll have to look for another theme though I doubt any will match the awesome Sandbox. I wish Scott would provide dual licensing.
Not a chicken
I finally did what I’ve been unable to for the past few weeks. For those who know what I’m talking about, yeah I did. :D
Did not turn out as I wanted it to but it also did not turn out how I feared it might. But there is hope and maybe I can eventually get it to turn out how I want it to.. ;)
I want to participate in this
The Plan
- Each team consists of two members
- Each person is allowed Rs. 1000 and a back pack.
- Participants are allowed to carry extra money, but are not encouraged to use it unless they are in some deep trouble.
- Remotest village in a state is a must visit.
- Farther the distance of travel from starting point more the fun.

This would be so much fun.. But I don’t think I’m capable of doing this :(
I really am
I’m glad that so many people have shown concern that things are not right. But honestly, I’m ok.. Absolutely fine..
The main reason that I can deduce for why I did it was impulse and wanting to do something random. Honest :)
Can I?
It’s been three days since I switched off my cell phones. Can I keep them off for another 2 days (One full working week).. I’m gonna try. Mom tried to make me change my mind and switch on my cell. I gave her “I’m preparing for the eventuality when I will ditch my phones” argument. Did not sit well with her.
Few friends missed me/asked me about it (I’m glad for that).
Most people did not/have not realized it (I’m not sure how I want to feel about that).
One thought I’d realized that I’d lost it long time back and so lost it all over again (okay I made this up, but she did think I was mentally ill)
I have no clue why I’m doing it. I’m fairly sure that a couple of new friends I’ve made (online and online only), if they read the past few posts will think I’m mentally ill.
Hmm, that coincides with my friends view..
It’s late and I’m trying to sleep but random thought flit in and out of my mind driving away sleep. I’m energised but should sleep to be fresh for work.
