Jobless..n bored as I have been lately, will make you do stupid things like...trying new recipes for making omelet...watching stupid movies that you know is crap...irritating friends by messaging then wassaaap?n sending forwards (etc)...and then you know you hit the limit when you Google your own name...
I sometimes wonder if Larry & Sergey would have even dreamt of their research project at Stanford be such a great part of our life. For anything and everything we just google.
Wanna know the call taxi no, google.. wanna know the address of tat favorite restaurant u looking for just google..wanna know what you get in that restaurant google again... wanna know how that interesting dish in the hotel look like... just google already... n the searches goes on...
Let me be clear about one thing I LOVE GOOGLE... I cant live without it.. My day begins and ends with u...ehmm.. Im sorry i got a little emotional there... And just when i thought thats all i had to say about google...my friend whom I call Lala goes... Google me baby..!!! Donno y it sounded so sexy... :)

Words Not Spoken...yet understood
Hi,
This is about a thought i had while i was taking a walk near my flat.
I have been staying in the same area for about 4 years now. Almost all the shopkeepers know me by now, and while i pass in front of there shop some give a casual smile while some a wave... I too do the needful to maintain this relationship.
One fine evening i decided to take a walk. The weather was wonderful calm a little cold but it had that feel in the air that would compel any soul to take a walk. My exams had just got over and i felt relaxed...happy.
I didn't have a destination in my mind while i started off just thought i will go where my legs take me. I stopped at a bakery to have some coffee. It is when i was having the coffee that i saw it.
There was a cyber cafe right opposite to this bakery, I used to often visit there before i got my Internet connection. It was run by this young guy hardly older than me. This young chap couldn't talk i think it was a birth defect, but he run the place so smoothly that all his customers were pleased with him.
Well on this particular day while i was having a cup of coffee i noticed that he was talking with a group of his friends. He wasn't talking in any sign language but just trying to talk like all normal people did..only difference was that when he talked only sounds came out and not words.. But i was amazed by the fact that his friend understood what ever he said and replied. It got me thinking what does it require to communicate was it just sound?
With these thoughts in my mind i continued my walk. I walked for couple of minutes and I got a miss call. I checked the no. it was from an old schoolmate in Oman.
This was her way of saying "i just thought of you" or just "Hi i miss you".. I smiled to myself and gave a miss call back.
If you think about it you can see that we spoke a lot of words without even saying anything... just a miss call.. Thus was the thought i had on unspoken words...
