Web hosting and Pandora ...

I have been so lazy these days in my life. I seriously think so, though I wanted to learn so many things I have been lazy to start something. Other than just spending time in watching movies, I want to do something useful; I can't say writing Blogs like this is useful. But then its like a diary, may be some time later some one can investigate my life using my Blog. But I really doubt whether some one would dare.. no thats not the word, 'bother' thats correct isn't it :). I also doubt how many people will read Blogs (I don't read any)
So finally me and my colleague has come to an agreement that he will give me cyber space for a competitive rate. And I wanted a trial for 2 weeks before committing; I know myself better than anyone isn't it (Though my mother used to say she knows me better than myself 8| ) So it will be a miracle if my initial spirit goes on after 2 weeks. Ok looks like I have money :) so I may buy the space; even if I don't do much about the site, There will be some content in my site, since i am planning to feed my photos to it. Should be nice idea isn't it. Also simple viewer (the flash program that render pics from Picasa) looked really nice during the demo.
Once i finish doing the setup I will Blog on how to do all these (registering domain, hosting a web etc) :) for those who want to do some thing like this. Like my friend Ms.A C. I have seen her Blog; tried to read some of the poems she has put in. But then since I don't have a Hindi poet inside me, I have stopped after sometime. Moreover I am not used to Hindi after 10th, other than for movies. Though I wont understand 40% of what they are saying; since, Hindi movies are full of emotions I do understand movies. I think so. But if some one has objection towards it i will not challenge them. I like Hindi songs more than anything, because they do make tears out of me sometimes even if I don't understand the meaning fully (what would have happen if I have understood fully)
Of late I have became a full time listener to English songs - thanks to Pandora - And if I like the music of a song I do find the lyrics of the same - thanks to ACS network with broadband - My network in Extended Stay has become little better -though it doesn't stream music as good as in office- once after my colleagues vacated from hotel. They were big time browsers, I could feel the bandwidth getting squeezed out those times...

Visit this site - www.pandora.com - you will not regret if you love songs
My friend suggested this radio station to me, its amazing. They have their music library of some 30K songs , They have identified some hundreds of attributes of each of the song they have. As per their site each song would have taken 20-30 min to get those attributed identified from them - which is the Music Genome Project . Their software will play they music which you will like, you will have to periodically refine the search by saying you liked this song, you didnt like that song like that.. Finally you will get a refined music station which will play the music you would love to hear; though you can't play a particular song, you can discover many songs and singers you have not heard of.

A Quick look...

Hey I am inviting you for a quick look of my life... But don't expect me to give you so many clues about it. I don't know why it does fast forwarded all the time, automatically. Once upon a time I used to think and dream about the life of a dude :) the young chap. I wanted to become old and wanted to get rid of my teenage that time. But now I am understanding gone are the days which were beautiful. May be this is the feeling i am going to have all through the life. All my crushes and heart breaks made my life beautiful and mature and sad at the same time...
The way God teaches me the lessons of life and love is very interesting, starting from my first day in Rajagiri I have been learning life, which caused a sudden change in my life style, thoughts, dreams.. It has been interesting. hmm .. My life in my college was the most beautiful of the whole time till now, and i don't expect any more good time here in Germantown. I have enjoy I my life there to the maximum, other than boozing. And I think I should regret about that. It would have been an opportunity of others to enjoy. I still remember the people who used to see drinking as a sin, they are no more sinners. They have got baptized in Tequila, Jack Daniels, Bacardi and Martini. I never had an allergy towards drinks though I am not a drunkard. No one would call me drunkard. I hope so. Because I will be extra decent after boozing. (Am I?) But there is a secret I have to reveal now, I don't like gals who lets me drink, or appreciate me drinking; don't tell this to anyone.. :) Ya all the gals in my life has asked me not to drink (At least they would have said don't drink so much) I had a friend whom I used to get scared to tell that I had drunk. She used not to talk to me if I had. She was so important to me that I have tried to stop my temptation most of the time when i was in Chennai. I am not hiding anything here, I have smoked too, but never felt its some thing bad in smocking till my another friend made me to make a promise that I will not smoke. Though I have accepted I had broken that promise once; to her. I think i shouldn't smoke any more. You know I am not that spoiled as you think... You know I am so flexible...

The photo on top is of a newly wed couple and their friends. It was my first experience to see something like this... it was awesome especially the flower gals effect (I will not show you that photo.. )

Straight fron Germantown...

When I came to Germantown, I had an image inside my mind. First time to US and the first city to see you can imagine the height of expectation. Washington Dullas airport appeared to be small when I got down. I understood the international terminal itself is almost twice the size of Chennai airport later when I had gone there to drop my friend. Ok I was talking about Germantown, the first thing I saw in the so called town was my hotel were I am staying; Extended Stay America. It looked very elegant on the day we came here, there was snow in the porch from the previous days snow fall. It looked very beautiful. For the first 2 -3 days I was thinking why this place is so dry and boring until my old project mate took me out. We had gone to iHope with Chrissy - my friends colleague - first time to go out with an American. She gave us lift. She was nice big lady, she finished one big glass of ice cream with strawberry in five minutes. That glass was double the size of a beer glass. That day we had gone to Milestone Center the happening shopping complex in Germantown. There we have Walmart, Giant, Target, Staples, Borders, McDonald's, Best Buy, Kohl's just to mention some. Though I got confused so much about the way and the location, I understood that it is very near to hotel. Actually it was walkable from my hotel. But now I am bored of MileStone Center. Now I have found out more hang out places, near by and also bit far too. But I wonder how I became too lazy. The place I have liked the most is my friends place, Charlettesville; where we have University of Virginia = UveeeYe. Its a funtastic place. And I really loved the company of Nishant's friends. It ranges from the Bad gal to DJ Michael. That place rocks, and it made me to dance.. that's another story.. that too in my first visit..

The photo on top is one of my first photos from a digital SLR; taken with my friend D80 before I got mine. Its from Washingtonian Center, Gaithersburg a place 10 miles away Germantown
