Falls down slowly,
seeps into the ground
isn’t just flowing water,
won’t stop until your brain is found….

Acid…..Acid Rain…..

Such was my state of mind, when I quit blogging. One thing after another kept smashing into me like a hurricane. Things aren’t normal even now, but now I know, the only way to become normal is to try to “be normal”. And what’s better than a new home to rejuvenate you. So, here it is. My shiny, flowery, and over-all feel-good blawg is back for your bouquets and brick-bats. Most of the things have been migrated from my old blog http://iamhuman.blogspot.com minus a few paining posts, plus not all the posts are tagged, categorized yet. Will do that gradually. Blogs shall be added back to the blogroll after some cutting-shutting. The theme is also be polished around the corners. Just getting the hang of this cool thing-a-magic that wordpress is.

Not just this, I’ve also given shape to an old desire - to have my own tech blog. Head over to My Technophilic Musings.
Thats it for today. Hope to see you back here soon.

AT LAST!!!!!
Yeah, the d00d is back in the house. I had not blogged since the time I had reached here. Thats over a month…
Why? No man, I was not busy. But its just that the gora log do only one thing in office, and that is “work”. They do have their share of fun at the work place but still they believe in working hard for 8.5 hrs and then start thinking abt the fun part.
They have perfectly divided their lives in two parts: professional and personal and dont let any of them intermingle. They keep their personal matters restricted to their homes and also keeps stringent limits on the hrs they spend in the office (And they also efficiently utilize each and every minute of that spent in the office).
Well, enuff of the background info. The point is, I couldn’t blog from the office and didn’t have any source to access net at hotel. But now I got my laptop (Yipppeee)….
Thanks to all those who had given me inputs to finalize my shopping list, I have done a sizable amount of my buying. Here are the things I have bought so far:
1. Laptop.
Specs: Compaq R4000 series. 15.4″ WUXGA with bright view screen, AMD Athlon 64 bit 2.0 GHz processor,
1 GB RAM, 128 MB ATi Radeon Xpress 200 m Gfx card, DVD writer, etc…

2. iPod

3. Digicam: Canon Powershot S1 IS (Just love the 10x zoom)

4. An extra 120 gig hdd

5. 1 GB CF card

and some small tit bits….

The major thing I like abt the states so far is the driving part…everyone drives in such a civilized manner….
But facing a bit of problem in the food deptt as its difficult to find good veg food.

Neways, thats it for now. Pics next time….

Ever heard of recursion through google??
Quick, open a new browser window and head over to google. Write “shantanu goel” (without the quotes) and hit the “I’m feeling lucky button”. Guess where u end up….

Yeah guys, my blog has finally acquired the no. 1 rank for my name as the keyword….

————-

But as soon as I posted this, just a few hours after that, my blog again slipped to the number 2 spot. Guess it was a case of The Page Rank 100 Incident…

Go away..Let me sulk a bit so that I can overcom this… *boohoo*

Here’s a brand new template….
Comments, Compliments, suggestions are welcome….
Do tell me if u find something broken cuz I think there are many. For one, I can’t find a way to modify my archives template which is not showing blogger comments section.
Till then…

Wait for a few days…U guys are gonna get something new soon….:)

And my sweet doodle-board has died. Doodle-board is going to be a paid service. So, the hunt for a new one begins..Any suggestions??

Side note: Just a small incident that happened yesterday. As the axe of the Taxman approaches, ppl are running helter-skelter arranging bills. My room-mate (who is a bengali and doesn’t know hindi that much) was doing the same. He went to a few medical shops to get few bills made. Now, every shop he went to, he found a board there in hindi, on which it was written “Dawai ki Dukaan” (in Hindi, meaning a Medicine Shop). After visiting 4-5 such shops, he got very confused and returned home with a puzzled look. After a while, he just cudn’t resist asking me “How come I never heard of this “Dawai” chain store brand in Bengal. All we have there is “98.4″ “.
