Simply Tired.

      So whats up with me all this time. Simple. My nephew came from Germany, and yeah, our whole family is running behind him, unable to control what he can do. Seriously, all kids are naughty now a days. We have started to buy toys and all sort of things.. The highlight??? The High frequency radio remote controlled car. For 235 rupees, thats one worth of a purchase. The odd side, Yeah ofcourse, he doesn't play. I do.
   
     You need to see what a supercomputer looks like. How much it will cost? 7 billion?? Trillion? Millions? Its 700 rupees. To buy it saravana stores, yeah, that looks cool.. My nephew just kicks it and then presses with all of his hands. These toys are meant for not less than 3 years. But kids, exposed to computers now a days, know whats computer better than us even at a very young age. And my nephew jumped towards this when he saw it there.

    Facebook keeps on introducing some new features, out of which, the photo viewer is really good. Some may not like it, but i like it simply because of the fast loading of the photos. Ofcourse, you shouldn't compare with the lightning speed loading of Google Chrome as they told in the youtube video. :P

   Last but not least, Tamilnadu postgraduate medical entrance exam is round the corner, on March 6, and I am really afraid with it, because, even though the questions tend to be easier, the competition is unimaginable. With so many service quotas, and all others who prepared extremely well compared to me, it is natural that i have to be afraid. If there is God, i ask him only one thing. Please give me a seat. It has been 2 long years wasting my time for nothing. I keep you reminded as follows.

    If you don't get what you deserve and what you want in time, Then it loses its value........

Tit bits

Hi there, This time i decided to just update my blogs what i have written.

First, Opera 11 vs Chrome 9 vs FF 4 beta 11 :
Firefox has installed Do not track.. Just go to advanced preferences and check that you do not want to be tracked. And there, I saw some changes with FB ads, though i dont know whether they are really participating. It will take some time to get used to these, so that all of those websites will change to Do not track status. Anything else new? I dont think so.. It seems all the others are same.

Chrome 9 is also fast now contrary to 8, and they already have a Keep my opt-outs add on.. So they may be the pioneers in Do not track feature right now. And all these browsers, now made a simple change.. They have added a feature called pin tab, which when u resume the browser again, starts with that. Its sleek and simple. I do that with firefox as well as chrome.

Opera 11? I dont think so. It seems they have lost in this. They dont have this Do not track status. But one thing is that, I finally figured out which was troubling me with Opera. The scroll function. It seems that i finally figured it out. Smooth scrolling. Uncheck it, and your scroll wont run away from you. ( Just check out my previous blog, you will understand what i am saying).

Facebook and https : And i would like to tell you something about facebook. I dont know how many of you are aware of Mark Zuckerberg's account getting hacked before. So what he did was, introducing https not only for login page, but wherever applicable. Your account settings has this Option. Check https if you want to. The problem, is that many applications dont follow https. So if you are playing games, then it wont work in that. So you need to use http.. :( Sad , i want to use https. ( For those who dont know what is https and http.. http is simply hypertext transfer protocol; simple terms, unsafe. https, secure http.. it is safer.

Yeah, I am going to add about the jet lag. Yes, i am hit with that, so i am sleeping for 4 hours and getting up as bright as i can. Many of you can ask me, you should be sleeping in day time. The thing is I am unable to.. I cant sleep even if i want to.. May be it was because of the exam that is coming up. Really i am stressed out, with a complete flop in Usmle,  which has doomed my chances there; and the upcoming exams in India which are really stressful. Hope i get out of it soon.

Travel ( while in frankfurt)


      Alright, Time for next blog. This time I will write about the experience I had during this week with snow storm..  One hell of an experience. With almost 6000 flights cancelled, its very difficult to see whether the flight I was supposed to leave will be on schedule or not. And there it was, I left USA no matter what happened, even if it’s the inevitable. Even if was an hour’s delay, I reached Frankfurt at the exact timing, just to see it was also snowing there. So bored, so tired, especially when you don’t have an nights sleep, even if u think of sleeping, It doesn’t occur, and when it was about to, the plane landed.  I don’t find how I can sleep well in the next flight also.
    Yes, I am right. Even if u think I can sleep in the next flight, I wont be able to do so. You know why? Simple. When you are about to sleep, the cabin crew will wake you up for breakfast, then lunch and finally dinner. The worst part is that everything will occur in 8 hours. And I knew one thing is going to happen for sure. I am gonna have one hell of a jet-lag.
 
    Entertainment in the flight? Do you think I will be missing those? No way. There was social network, Due date ( although I don’t wanna see the edited one) and some other movies. Well, Social network, to be honest, I just understood the story, but never did the codes and all other stuff. It was more towards a computer oriented person.. I mean a specialist in computers. Not for those who just handle internet daily. The movie was simply in many places, programming language.
      And what can I expect? Usa hit with its 8th snow storm. Good thing isn’t it? And Midwest including Dallas received snow. A friend of mine was so happy to go out with shorts and T shirt just before 2 days, and now, its been ruined. The weather god is playing it cruelly. 12 F. There is no way you can enjoy that weather. But I am atleast happy New York and New jersey escaped the pinch.
      I just want one thing now. Just to get back home. And then sleep. Its gonna be another 9 hour long flight, but I hope it will end soon, and I can go back and rest happily without mosquitoes.
