Super things in life

Some of the things which I feel is super! - Just a few random ones, some general, the others out of my experiences.

1. Bengaluru's weather - particularly the rains - the smell of soil and the chill winters.
2. Eating hot bajji and bonda on a cold evening. Added kai(coconut) chatni - awesome!
3. Long walk on a cool evening in Bangalore university or the KBR National park (Hyd) particularly with the human species of the kind female. lol
4. Tuttu anna particularly sitting outside in the garden of my home; added with moon light - awesome. Super tasteful if served by my granny - Not sure if it has to do with the experienced hands!.
5. High speed drive along the Mysore Road late after sunset - looking at the star filled sky after the outskirts of Bangalore. Sipping coffee at CCD at Ramanagar or Maddur CCD at mid night! The colder the weather the better.
6. Moms food after a long time of having self-made experimental food.
7. Maggi at 2am - only when mom's food isn't available
8. Sitting in the midnight figuring out what you like to do and making a list of stuff like the above!


FYI:
Bajji Bonda : Bajji, Bonda
Tuttu anna : A mix of rice and sambar/rasam/curd made into a ball and served directly onto the hand. anna-rice, tuttu-ball of rice served onto the hand.

IMs and Life

Last week was msn messenger’s 10th birthday. Life has changed so much so because of a messenger! I remember coordinating my project in college YM, No doubt I do that in Office Communicator today too!

Some good experiences about messenger – Meeting old friends, Keeping in touch with some one who is Continents apart or just pinging anyone on a morning and saying Good Morning. Even seen cases of people falling in love on a messenger! – Cupid lives in messengers too!!

What started as a bug fix to keep track of a person on MS Net meeting started off this revolution (Source : http://windowslivewire.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!2F7EB29B42641D59!41264.entry?sa=427562354). Also its grown just from sending text messages to Voice, Video chats, Online collaboration, Instant file/photo sharing etc.

Messenger has become so much so a part of life and changed life so much, be it as a Windows app or a Web app or even a Mobile app. I can easily say I cant live without pinging someone on the web each day in my life!

Coming to some facts and impact on environment :

Imagine if a single-page letter was mailed for every one of the 1.6 billion Messenger sessions that happen every day. The individual pages lined up one after another would stack up to the moon within a day! The weight would weigh 33 times more than the Endeavor Space Shuttle (with boosters and tank).

And by the way, using Messenger instead saves 2.8 million trees every day.  :-)

Long live the Messenger Phenomenon!
