WOT?

How would you feel when you had typed the URL www.hotmil.com i/o www.hotmail.com? What I meant was how would your computer feel? It would be under threat of catching cold..err.spyware!!!...

But I have a solution...rather..there is a solution. There is a firm calling them as "Web Of Trust"(WOT). Yes..They are truly trusted firm..They have a wonderful add-on for firefox fans like me. If you are not gifted as such and still use IE,no sweat! You can still add them and make surfing somewhat secure!!

Once installed the WOT color code appears on the sites wherever you go. Based on that you would be rest assured that the site is genuine or malware!!

Isn't it worthwhile to blog? U Decide!!

What an Idea!!!

They say Pen is mightier than sword. But Ads speak more than words. I always admire the creativity in ads. In a minuscule 10 to 20 sec break, the creative team has to convey the message to the viewers which a movie may take 3 hours. Its nonsense to compare movie and ads as equivalent in comparing 50m sprint and a marathon. Though the finish is the same, reach varies. Though marathon is a dragger, movie does attracts more!!

Nowadays how many people are racing against time and people to be in queue to get tkt to fdfs? Creativity takes a backseat in movies in the way that the competitive products had to have upper hand over others. Sometimes ads do make things itchy!! Most of them show great zealous and ingenuity.

For example, Master piece ads like FEVICOL is most famous for its famous line "yeh fevicol ki jode tootegaa nahi". Depicting in different forms of unbroken egg, full loaded bus is the most creative. I wondered how the creative writer would have thought of depicting this which is so much "real life adaptable".

Other one I like is the HAPPYDENT WHITE. What on earth would anybody think in the way that chewer of the gum would radiate light cos of shiny teeth and give lighting to a palace? Hats off!!

The more educational product which is not so sleazy in TV was MOODS..The latest ones. What they are trying to depict is the positive way of using the product which otherwise takes all the disgrace of clandestinity. Its very much applicable in today's world and no need to change the channel!!

Also the ad on VIP was splendid in displaying the problem of "adjustment" in public places and the embarrassment eventually. This was so neatly devised.

On top of all this, I loved this new series of ads on IDEA CELLULAR. The initial series of calling people by numbers to forego casts. Then the wonderfully crafted dialogue between guide and a dumb female. Wow. It was so heart touching!! With the kinda music at the background, one would like to cry out emotions!! Then the latest on schooling in villages by conducting classes through mobiles!! Though seems simple but very effective!!

If given a chance, I would definitely love to do a short ad myself!! Am sure somebody would help to unearth the creativity of humans!! Or is it me?

Part of world record!!

Iam happy and proud to be part of the world record set by Mozilla Firefox for the software getting downloaded by most number of users in 24 hours. I was always a fan of firefox since it was free-launched and this effort was no instigation for me to participate.

You are most welcome to spread the fire and "Firefox"..That too for good cause!!

Expectation!!! Is it fair?

We have been living with this for our life. But sometimes I wonder what actually it is. Everyone give their own definitions. But which one scores top mark is a big question to answer than the one at hand. I am talking of 'friendship'!!

Does this exist in office place too? Is it the same feeling one experiences in school or college? I see it the same way in whichever situation one may be. I find it difficult to understand this feeling with males and females in office env. I am not sure how others feel. May be they didn't had a chance to voice out.

I had 'not-so-good' exp with one of my colleagues. I have the behavior of not moving so well with all people so easily. But when I find people to be of my kind, I go with them closer and treat them like self. For these long years of my age I always won friends and not heard of them saying that I got "irritated"! Though the words come from heart (at least for me in some situations), I couldn't take it lightly. I am sentimental when it comes to friends. I don't wanna lose the ones I like. Is it right to be possessive of them? I say yes!!

Now back to the issue with this colleague. I do understand others feelings and accommodate them. Bitterness comes when they don't understand my way of dealing with them. The "cold war" started and we did not spoke to each other. I was frustrated. The crux was that this colleague did not able to answer to the question I asked. This happened when this colleague was on way to home. The colleague gave a different answer saying the colleague is struck in traffic. I asked for answer to my first question. This caused the temper to rise. But silence remained.

Does silence portray to me that the colleague is angry or upset? Or the behavior in asking the second question when stuck in traffic is wrong? Hmm. To me I tried to be informal being considered as a best friend. Hence I expected a reply saying I am tired or stuck in traffic or I will reply later. But none happened. Only silence. I do accept my mistake that I tried to "over expect". If any one of the reply had come, everything would have been in place. I am not trying to blame the colleague but trying to put across my justification. Is this right behavior to be silent? Or I was over expecting behavior on others?

I was confused in behaving with this colleague. I am getting worried whether to expect more or be formal by creating boundary! But one thing to mention that the colleague is a very good type and able to use brain a lot(like me..of course). The colleague is of my kind and hard to lose.

I tried ways to break the ice and spoke. One thing is true from my experience is that being friend with a male is completely different and less challenging than with a female.

Lets see how this colleague reacts.!!
