What others say and I like.
Mostly an archive of internet articles I want in one place, with some of my writing and rumination sprinkled here and there.

Friends
Friends of good times aren't really friends. If you've never seen bad times, you don't really know whether you have friends or not.
Good Stuff
It's actually good to be full of yourself, that way you know you contain good quality stuff.
See, don't Imagine
The magic begins when you stop trying to imagine, and start trying to See.
Because when you imagine things, you and your mind both know it doesn't exist, and agree to create. But when you try to see things, you know it exists, you just have to show it your mind.

Abyss
I am a Very talkative person by nature. As proved by the needlessness of stating what I just did in the former statement. So, to fill that need of talking, I have this blog, I have friends, and I facebook, and sometimes participate in forums. And in this one forum, someone asked, 'What's your favorite Quotation?' and I posted this:
I see the 'abyss' as 'something incomprehensible, seemingly infinite, and obscured', and I see the 'staring long enough' as 'focusing' and I see the 'staring back' as 'revealing itself'. You know, how Iqbal also says, Aflaak se aata hai nalon ka jawad aakhir, Kartay hain khitab aakhir, uthtay hain hijab aakhir...
What is your favorite quotation? And what do you think about the ones I have shared here, especially Iqbal's?
“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
— Fredrick Nietzsche
As I has posted this one, I decided I would this another one on that blog as well. This one is by the same author, and it goes like this:When you stare in the abyss long enough, the abyss stares back at you.I have to confess, I can Never say I quite understand what it means, but the idea I get from it, fascinates me. Also, what fascinate me the ideas other people get from it when I ask them about it.

T9
Just yesterday I was texting while traveling in a qinqi (It's a three-wheeler sort Richshaw) and I remembered that one time when I was texting in train, and I had made a friend. He saw me texting and asked me how did I use the predictive text to type so fast, and then the rest of some time was spend me explaining him, showing him, and also showing him how some desi words could also be entered into the list of supported words. So, back to the qinqi. I was thinking, what if that day, that guy had asked me the name of that functionality, and what if I had said, it's called T9. And he would have asked, why is it called T9? Then I wouldn't have any answer. And though I am very comfortable with having no answers, and saying I don't know. But I got curios for my own sake, and decided to look at up. So if you don't know what T9 means, here it is for you: Text on 9 keys. Haha... so predictive.
