love quote  

Posted by Rithish

Shailu sends me a quote to my inbox everyday. Sometimes they are humorous, sometimes stale, but most times good.

But today, Shailu did something different. He sent a 10-line quotation, which was more like an essay. One of the most wonderful lines I've enjoyed reading. It will make you laugh, smile, smirk, and nod your head in approval.

So here goes -

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it oepns up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love." -- skrehmani Neil Gaiman

my toolbar link for rss readers  

Posted by Rithish

Folks.. Just in case, the toolbar link in my earlier post doesn't show up in your reader, then here it is .

holy shit! It's a radio! It's a game! It's a toolbar!!!

Yup! It's a toolbar alright. I was looking through conduit, and my eyes fell on this app of theirs. My gray cells started whirring (as much as they can at 8 in the morning), and I feeling benevolent for a change, drummed up a toolbar for you to use.

I am pretty sure this will be an awesome way to keep in touch (just in case you haven't yet noticed the gtalk widget on the blog site). Chat if you feel like it. Listen to the Radio if you are bored. Customize channels you'd like listening to. Easily search through a multitude of sites using the Search widget. Walk through my blogs *ahem* whenever you feel like, using the RSS feed reader. Hear sweet nothings from me *cough* *cough* as Whispers. Play games and do a host of other things too. But I'll leave it to you to find the rest.



So. Yes, folks. A toolbar to do all the things as with your current toolbar, plus *ahem* also keep updated of my contemplations; which by the way, haven't been much lately. Hope you'll enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed creating it. That reminds me.. I need a coffee.. Set your downloads, and go grab yours too..

the world is getting to be a strange place

As reported in the Times of India dated July 23, 2008 -
Man blows up apartment spraying for bugs: A New Jersey man trying to kill insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported. Isias Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80% of his apartment was destroyed. The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that triggered a fire.

And yet another -
Men sentenced for setting friend’s crotch ablaze: Two practical jokers are behind bars for setting their passed-out drinking buddy’s crotch ablaze while boozing in Grover Beach. The men poured cologne on Elliot Tuleja’s groin and set him on fire.

What is this world coming to, I say?!!?
