http://gurdit.com/blog Dedicated to the Invisible Audience Sun, 06 Jul 2008 17:51:15 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Modern myths are quite amusing really. The things people say to cover their asses. The problem is that people perceive too much, and sometimes, they just expect too much, perhaps from themselves or perhaps from others around them. A lot of times, we let others expect a lot from us, ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/07/06/modern-myths/ Well, it happened two days later than I expected it to, but I've finally got my braces put today. We're doing the lower jaw first, and though I don't really feel any pain right now, I can feel the pressure on my teeth giving me a tingling sensation. I've been ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/07/02/and-so-it-begins/ So I've finally got my internet reconnected today on another ISP. I now have no download cap, and do you know what that means? It means I can't download anything unless I back up the music off my computer onto DVDs or something and create space to download more. :P Anyway, ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/27/back-in-black-and-red/ The World Wide Web, which is often considered the same as The Internet, can be a tricky place, especially if you're a fly and the spider's out to get you. Wow, that was a lame metaphor! Anyway, this is just an update to everyone. I don't have internet at home right ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/25/fly-in-the-web/ When I was much younger, I had a root canal in one of my teeth, and the dentist put some permanent cement over it. Well, it turns out that the cement wasn't permanent after all, because a few days back, when I was chewing gum, some of it came back, hollowing ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/20/the-complete-geek/ To start off, I should say that I don't write a lot of short stories. I write fragments. I write incidents, observations, I paint still scenes and memories with words, and to be candid, I do it quite beautifully a lot of times. I've written about three or four stories ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/16/the-writer/ For the past couple of days, the wind's been carrying the smell of rain. Sadly, for the most part, all we've got is the smell, and nothing more, wafting in temptingly. It rained a day or two ago, and it was quite fun to stand out on the balcony with ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/10/changes/ I was watching the final match of the Indian Premier League yesterday. One of the defining moments (in my opinion) of what the IPL has achieved was seeing Yusuf Pathan hugging and celebrating with Shane Watson. Considering the recent tensions between Indian and Australian cricketers, that moment was something special ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/06/02/the-indian-premier-league/ It's been really pretty darn hot this summer. Temperatures have soared above 40° C here. There was a slight lull for a couple of days in between, but over the last 3-4 days, it's been hellish hot. I was talking to dad about it, and he said that this stage ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/05/29/rohini/ There were many things I wanted to write about today. I had quite a few ideas and thoughts about what to write about today. The problem is that every time I came to write something, the electricity went off. India's facing a bit of a power shortage, so... Apart from that, I'm ... http://gurdit.com/blog/2008/05/19/the-19-may-post/
