Best of Top ten lists

As the year end comes these top ten lists start coming from nowhere. There are lots and lots of these starting from the first week of December. By now, you may have read many of such lists. So here is another. The difference is, this is the list of ten best top ten lists of the year. After searching for two days and reading and removing all those junk lists, I compiled the best(the best I thought).

1) Top Ten Green Architecture Projects of 2008: I am inclined towards nature. Hence I like anything which helps for rehabilitation of nature or eco-friendly projects. That is why this list tops my list. The projects mentioned here are awesome and eye-candy. It is good to see construction going eco-friendly.

2) Top Ten Most viewed photo galleries on National Geographic: Nat-Geo website has been always a mine of good photos. It keeps producing some jewels every year. Here is the list of most viewed galleries on Nat-Geo. Every gallery is filled with stunning pictures.

3) The Ten Best New Gadgets 2008: Technology always improves in an exponential way. That curve never gets a fall and new and improved gadgets come every year. This is the list of Ten best new gadgets that arrived in the market this year. You’ll definitely wish to own at least one of them.

4) The Top 10 Everything of 2008: While writing this post I found that there are already some lists which are lists of top ten list. That made things a bit easy for me. This is the times list of almost everything in top ten for 2008. They say it everything but I still have nine other list not mentioned in that list. ^_^

5) Top Ten list by Computerworld: This is the second top ten list I found worth mentioning. It mostly consist of tech related list but also includes list which are not related to technology. How about Top Ten worst employees of 2008?

6) Top Ten movies of 2008: This not just simple list of Top Ten movies. It lists Top Ten movies of 2008 from the movies ratings sites like Metacritic. I found this list as the best in all the Top Ten movies lists. I was more happy to see that I watched almost all the movies in those lists.

7) Top ten sports moments: How can I miss the sports? I love to watch sport and play some. It just brings out the wild side of me. Here are the Top Ten moments from the sports world for the year 2008.

8) YouTube’s Best Of 2008: What Nat-Geo is for Pictures, YouTube is for videos. From the millions of videos uploaded to this site here are the Top Ten videos of the year 2008. If you had a bad year 2008 and no time for laughs, this list will try to make up for that loss.

9) Top 10 New Organisms of 2008: We have not yet discovered the whole world. There are some places which are just on the maps and never been explored. Such places always result in new organisms. This list gives the best finds or organisms in this year. It’s not a fairytale.

10) Top Ten Top Ten Top Tens! of 2008: This is not actually top ten of 2008. This is a list of top ten posts posted on that blog. So it’s kind of personal. But I gave it a mention because every post made me burst out in laughter. That is why it gets this place and this list deserves it.

So that’s all for my two days of searching all over the internet for the best lists. You may think that some lists don’t deserve this place but I do. I tried to be honest and find the best. Cheers to the year 2008 for all the good things it gave and to the lessons we learned from the bad things.

Bye Bye 2008 and Welcome 2009…

Till the next Top ten list…

Dasvidaniya – Ten things I wish to do

I saw this film Dasvidaniya. That was a week ago. I cried. I cried many times during the film. Thank god there was no one at home. I was alone. Otherwise it would have been an embarrassing situation for me. In this society there is no room for men to cry. There are rooms for all other things including smoking room but not for crying. I am going to watch this again in an hour or so with my family. I better search for black glasses.

I don’t want to review this film. I can tell you though it’s a must watch. This year has been the best year of my life in terms of watching good films.  This is the third film I cried in the single year. Earlier it was just one movie way back in 2004. I’ll write a post regarding this separately. I have to fill this blog one or the other way.  :angel:

So it’s been a week I watched this movie. But I am writing now. That’s because of this post by L. V. Subramaniam in short LVS. Nicely written post which connects the last wish in the movie with the martyrs of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. And I was also thinking of writing my ten wishes till I say goodbye to all. You can laugh if you feel so. Continue reading →

Answering Machine Messages

Here are 10 messages you can keep on you answering machine.

10. My wife and I can’t come to the phone right now, but if you’ll leave your name and number, we’ll get back to you as soon as we’re finished.

9. Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows or a tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity at the office and don’t need their picture taken. If you’re still with me, leave your name and home phone number and they will get back to you.

8. This is not an answering machine – this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number, and your reason for calling…. and I’ll think about returning your call.

7. Hi! John’s answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I’ll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets.

6. Hi! This is John: If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my bank, you didn’t lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female, don’t worry, I have LOTS of money. Continue reading →
