Year end update!

I had put up post at the begining of the year on the TO DO's for the year..
lets see how i fare

1) Re-start the blog (well, i am a loser, i know this is not going to happen)
--> ok..went well. i didn't make it to the Top 10 list of Time, but i think, i followed the title of this blog and trashed all my crap here!
2) manage time well (2004 has been pathetic), use timetracker etc
--> mm..huh..2005..time..i must have reffered to time magazine here..2005 has been more pathetic in terms of managing time (is that a good sign or what?)
3) donate blood twice (new year + my bday)
--> only once..should increase it..seems nobody is willing to take my blood..i dont see any blood donation camps here..
4) read atleat one novel a month (catch-22 is lying for over a month for my attention)
--> huh..i didn't read one per month..not even one per quarter..so what..sue me.
5) Get into stock market (*conditions apply)
--> i got into the stocks..very fast i also got out of it also :-) lost quite a bit of money trying futures and derivatives..now back to watch mode..but good improvement i'd say..
6) Find a date who can spend for you also (as if i'm having hundreds now!)
--> pass (i mean i pass this question, u know the obvious)
7) get a new *** in 1st or 2nd quarter of the year(pretty easy to guess ***, isn't it?)
--> gotcha..new job.

wait for my new year resolutions..they're going to be more interesting this year..

it after 11pm new years eve in india, and the junta will be partying (or atleast watching some tv) hard..

Wish you all (again) very happy new year!

what's up!

no posts for long time? busy bee? nah..

i've been roaming a lot, lazying a lot, sleeping a lot, TV'ing a lot, drinking a lot except work may be..

went to san diego and then crossed over to Mexico by foot, just like that. No visa, no customs, no queues, no nothing..you just walk out of US of A and for a moment you feel like in india..just that language is really creepy here..no need to ask what we did there '-: (darn, those smiley's, how do i wink)

so what happens to the photos, they all sleep well in my laptop!

Happy new year to all and everyone!
(i may post more this year, but, just in case this turned out to be my last one :-)

US air marshal guns down passenger

Folks, you know, if you dont see a blog post from me on Tuesday, take it for granted that above thing happened to me :-(

i'm going to seattle this weekend..couple of friends there (yeah..that MS..i hate that isn't it?)..will my flight be uneventful? or rather my boarding of the flight be uneventful? remember the london event, foreigner shot at point-blank 'cos he was wearing a thick coat..? i'm wearing that thicky one..its really cold out here,really..

mm..lot of coincident events..huh?

how do i?

how do i upload my digicam photos onto yahoo photos or someother place?
the image sizes are really big (upwards 1.25MB) so the upload is never going to be complete even in US? how do people reduce the size and upload one full bundle of photos?

anyone hearing?
