It's all about Skullcandy my friend!

Oh technology I love you. And those who develop it - I love you even more.

Now Skullcandy has become a fad among my colleagues. Almost everyone in my team has one.and man...what can I say, for someone like me where music and work go hand in hand. One good headphone has become a must to maneuver my everyday routine with an ease. and I MEAN with an e..a..s..e. The headphone I have is really cool. I am a kind of person, who likes building relationship with what I own even if they are my tech products, be it my laptop, my DVDs or including those that helps me keep in tuned with my favorite music! So it was during the War room, I was made accquainted with this fabulously portable headphone called Skullcandy. Remember the days, when those tiny earphones just wouldn't fit in your ears (now that happens to me all the time, as I have the tiniest of the tiny pair of ears)...and while you're running or jogging, the headphones would just constantly fall off. Or those big ones, which works like magic but in a while it starts straining your ears. Gosh, happens to me ALL THE TIME. So a solution to this problem- Skullcandy- that infact fits right inside your ear-hole. And I MEAN ----it would acutally FIT right IN!
Well my friend, thats not it!- Skull Candy also endorses such headphones, in which you can simply 'fit in' your MP3 players- yep the one that sticks right into your EARPLUG. Yes my friend, right into your EARplug. How cool is that- so no more looooooong wires stretched across your body. Its right there, stuck to your ears!..so from now on, whether you skate, or jog, or run...that little thing called earphone is never going to fall off your ears. and hopefully is strain-free as well ..haven't tried one as yet!.

Caffeine Addiction

Anything in life is addictive. I for one was barely ever addicted to any thing related to food. If my mom misses her daily dose of a sip of tea in a day - you know she will have a bad one all through. Addiction for me has only been something external, atleast nothing so close to edibility as such...I am addicted to movies, I am addicted to my converse, to the Internet, addicted to Macbook Pro, addicted to Will and Grace, Seinfield...and so forth. My list can never be complete. But slowly I am realizing something very essential. I am getting addicted to caffeine. Well how did I find out- I remember those regular boring days at the office, my heavy head almost feeling like, it would stop working any second. Thats when a glass of coke worked like magic for me and miraculously the nauseating feel or the headache easily went away. Now... that! my friend is a sign, I am getting addicted. That ONE THING I was trying sooo hard to stay away from. I work at a place where there's a free flow of caffeine from, pops to coffee, hence can't help it!..
So I hope to reverse my unhealthy habit as soon as I go back home. But don't know when that would be. I am also realizing that the old me is gradually spreading its root. The lazy me, I better get out of that vicious cycle. Being a couch potato all day, is sure not helping.

So, it finally rained today, the very first rain of the summer. After a long time I felt so complete physiologically. After a constant flow of snow, then a bit of sunshine, all we were missing; a few droplets of water. ANd finally it happened today..yeh!!..can't wait to take some pictures now. Well, holi has offiicially arrived for me, after long and gruesome months of winter. A few drops of rain was bound to make me happy. I also feel like I am getting home sick everyday. No wonder I have been listening to a lot of Hindi movie songs to get over it. I am not such a big fan of hindi movie songs- but I know this is the closest I can get to - for anything local..besides some Indian food may be..but since solid food has never been my addictive element. Music does seem to replace my illuionistic addiction pretty well I think..at least on the matters of home sickness.

Wave of change

I am just 24, and I feel like I have been lucky enough to be witnessing such an eventful year. 2008 American election, the historical Contituent Assembly in my home country, Tibet's march for cultural freedom and so much more. 2008 has heralded an exciting, unpredictable but still a very hopeful beginning. So if I really had to start, I would do it with an American Politics. Just till mid-2007, American politics was a complete stranger to me. If it wasn't for the heated forum discussion I wouldn't have had ever paid attention to what was happening here in the US. Certainly a great time for America to change the course of its history. What a time to be in. The time where a lady has been fighting for the presidentship against her male counterparts. The time when the black man is for the first time running for the same position. At a time when America is changing, its economy taking a downhill with a fear of recession. Its immigration problem. Never had america needed someone to help save them from the slow-death. and thats when comes in Barrack Obama. Singing the songs of hope and change and yes that Americans can. The fact that he belongs to a very diverse family consisting of everyone from each continent. It has certainly helped him to make a connection with people across America regardless of their race or age.
And amidst all this- I am witnessing the results of contituent Assembly that took place on April 10, 2008 back home. The poll date had been postponed twice and this was the third attempt to make it possible. Amidst the doubts among the regular crowd and political pundits. It happened. Infact with less violence than expected. and was considered a success. I feel pitty that I couldn't be a part of this event but, still hoping for a great change ahead as I go back to my country for good. Another surprise that hit the nation was the Moaist's overwhelming success. Well I for one wasn't. But the news of their win even in the capital city was certainly a stunner. I'm up for anything that could possibly lead our country to a path of development. So I wish a prosperous years ahead for me, for my country and for everyone around.

P.S : I feel blessed to be a part of this great wave of change taking place all over the world. Where we are being more than just a politician, where we are giving up the arms to peacefully collaborate with the government to solve the problem. Where we are joining hands for a free Tibet. And not just expecting but working on things to work out!

The election time

On Thursday April 10, 2008 took place the historic highly-awaited CA polls. And I wasn't any less excited despite the fact that I was miles away from home. As usual the work load was just unimaginable. So thats what took the most of my attention until one of my cousins called in early in the Morning (what the hell was he thinking!!!- early in the morning)..saying- he couldn't vote cause his name wasn't in the 'list'. Hah!!..I was like..didnt' you register??..nand just didn't feel like talking...come on..as a citizen you did have the right to vote and how come he didn't. Must be cause he didn't push their limits. As long as you have the citizenship, isn't that enough to be able to cast your vote. Which is a far better situation than 1000s of people casting votes under someone elses name. And I heard that happened. Which is nothing new in Nepal apparently.

I just don't get it, these politicans acting like animals..how ridiculous is that. The whole point was to go for proportional representation based on people's choice. and there they were using violence or wicked behaviour as the way to maneuver their destiny. Anyway..so its Friday here in the US. I am at work, and all my attention is gravitated toward the election. I am just not feeling liek working, I have bene continously checking news, sites everything that could come in handy to educate me about the post-election.

March 19, 2008

I had written this on March 19, 2008 but apaprently forgot to publish...how stupid, so even if today is April 3, 2008. Well this one's for March 19!

Miraculously, after months of constant grilling, the work load has massively gone down. Although this doesn't mean, I won't be bombarded with any anytime soon. SO I decided to surf around. and do all the crappy stuffs until I get something to do.So Today, March 19, 2008. This is the first thing I spotted on BBC and CNN.The headline read 'Bush: U.S. is safer because of Iraq war' the speech of Bush on the 5th anniversary of the Iraq war. To sum it all in a phrase, he said- The war was a success. Oh BTW, just incase if I missed this, Russia has already elected their new president Dimitri. Who's in fact a follower of Putin. So doubt it if his governance would be any different from Putin's.

Things to do
Work out for 30 mins. EVERYDAY.
Cook Food if necessary.
Read the book.
