He is back.. He is badder…

For the last seven years he was hiding somewhere. In an unknown place to regain his strength and take control. He is successful in his attempt. The silence for the last seven years breaks. I was never expecting him to come at this time and at this stage of my life. Unable to decide what to do to get rid of him, I am just hoping that he leaves me soon.  I am talking about my temper, my anger. He is back.

It took a lot of effort to control my anger. But as you know anger is one emotion which is often uncontrollable. You never know what he can do with you. This was my case seven years back. I was short tempered and there were many who used to fear of me and my temper. No one knew when the dormant volcano would erupt. This was till I was introduced to a beautiful subject called Psychology. While learning this subject I learned many things about human behavior and how to control emotions. My temper turned into my patience which helped me a lot throughout these years. The days are over it seems.

It happened two days back. To be frank my temper showed signs of arriving during my last job when I burst on a labor. After that this event. My father made a policy on my name. The insurance agent tricked him for a policy which was almost out of our reach for yearly payment. My father made it clear that it should be one time payment only before making the policy. After making the policy the documents arrived in 15 days. I read the documents and shocked to see it was yearly payment and told him to convert this to one time only. There was another policy on my sisters name also. So he took the documents assuring that he will convert the policy. Continue reading →

What do you think about old Macs?

Do you think they are still used? Having a Macbook is a proud feeling. Anyone doesn’t want a Mac? You won’t find anyone. It’s a different case if you ask a beggar about Macbook. That would be an exception. Old Macs started a revolution and it continues. The only change is that they are state of art gizmos on look side. They have replaced old Macs. But do you know old Macs are still used? Check it out.

WordPress Plugins – How many you use?

Every software is incomplete. There is always something to add and make it better. So is the case with wordpress. Thanks to the plugins and I can customize wordpress without much knowledge or no knowledge of coding. Some plugins allow you to turn wordpress into a full fledged gallery. You just need to upload and activate plugin. That’s it. Good thing with wordpress is, if any plugin goes wrong  just delete it’s folder and your blog runs back normal.

So why I am talking about plugins today? This is not a blogging blog or WordPress hack blog. For many days I was searching for a good plugin. A plugin that can list my watched movies on a page and it should be easy to update, edit, rate. But I am a movie buff and watch a lot of movies. I am too lazy to write review of a every movie I watch. This is Nonsense blog and not a movie review blog. Hence I wanted a plugin where I can write a short review, a link to movie page, ratings out of ten and possibly comments by user. I didn’t get the last option though.

While doing a search I found a plugin that fulfills my needs. That plugin is WP Movie Ratings. I have just installed the plugin and testing it. That is why I am not giving out the link for the movies page. I also have to update that page with some movies. This plugin will free me from posting reviews of movie unless I find it too good or too bad to watch.

I don’t like to use many plugins with any software. They slow down the performance of core software. I couldn’t resist this one. I crossed the ten plugin mark with this plugin. Now I use a total of eleven plugins. It’s difficult to remove any one of these. How many plugins do you use??

Recovery Sunday

Just over a week since I joined my new job and I am having troubles. Not in my job, but other than job but they affect my job. The biggest of them is my energy level. It seems to be going down once again. Three months ago, I started 10 minutes exercise on daily basis and it helped a lot to gain stamina. But as you know with the exercise routine. You just need a small reason to stop your exercise routine.

That small reason was that I was out of job. No more stamina needed to sit at home. So I stopped and it’s been 20 days now. After a week of job I realized I need to start it again. This job is like working in hell(I was there for a while and will be spending my afterlife there) :devil: . I hardly have time to sit. They have a office space for me with a working fan. That is a luxury when you are working on site. But I don’t have time to use this at full.

This  Sunday is acting like recovery day for me. I was too much tired out of the weeks work. There is some work going on site today also. I won’t be there on site.  If I work today then,  I won’t be able to give my best for the next week. A day off is much needed. When I woke up in the morning it was 10 am already. I am feeling good and relaxed today. This burnout happens with almost all working group. It was regular for me until three months back when I was doing exercise routine.

Looks like I have to start it again. Getting up early in morning is a pain, especially when it’s winter. I have to do it. A nice habit I got from working on this site is making a checklist of things. I’ll have to do the same for my exercise. Just 10 minutes in morning and then 10 minutes in evening make things much better. Good thing that I can have my lunch at home since the site I am working is near. That adds to healthy food, healthy diet. I’ll have to plan a better diet now. I’ll be going through all my bookmarks for the diet blogs. If you have good diet tips then feel free to comment. Just remember I am 100% vegetarian. :smile:

Think Nonsense…

Sharing – A Family story

I was going through my e-mails and I found this story. I cannot express my feeling after reading this story. You guess..

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
“Oh, excuse me please.” was my reply.
He said, “Please excuse me too; I wasn’t watching for you.”

We were very polite, this stranger and I.We went on our way and we said goodbye.But at home a different story is told,How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,My son stood beside me very still.When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
“Move out of the way,” I said with a frown.
He walked away, his little heart broken.I didn’t realize how harshly I’d spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,God’s still small voice came to me and said,
“While dealing with a stranger,common courtesy you use,but the family you love, you seem to abuse.Go and look on the kitchen floor,You’ll find some flowers there by the door.Those are the flowers he brought for you.He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.”

By this time, I felt very small,And now my tears began to fall.I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
“Wake up, little one, wake up,” I said.
“Are these the flowers you picked for me?”
He smiled, “I found ‘em, out by the tree.I picked them because they’re pretty like you.I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.”
I said, “Son, I’m very sorry for the way I acted today;I shouldn’t have yelled at you that way..”
He said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay.I love you anyway.”
I said, ‘Son, I love you too,and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.’

Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days.But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family,an unwise investment indeed,don’t you think?

So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?

FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

This is just copy and paste of e-mail. No hard work from me. So will your attitude change towards your family after reading this? This is long running and forwarded e-mail. You may have read this earlier. Did this brought some change in you? It’s not crap and scrap for me. Things will change for me now.
