Tweek Tweek

Instead of putting the same old starting line ” Its been long sice i have written a blog ….blah blah blah” lemme put it straight this time ( Though i am very well successful in conveying the msg this time also :P )
Lately i was reading an article in the newspaper which spoke about ‘Twitter’ and i must say , this is the latest hot property in social network, afterall its 1.2 million strength of audience has risen to 6 million in just one year : Legendary!! When i first joined Twitter , I felt like i was in a noisy room where everyone was shouting and nobody was listening.Frankly i did not like the concept at the first use, it was less of a friends chatting tool and more of a self-promoting site .But soon i learnt the difference between a ‘friend’ and a ‘Follower’.Relationships on twitter are not reciprocal like that on Facebook or Orkut,here one can follow anyone without being followed himself - Good for me , coz on doing some wandering in twitter i discovered that some high profile and celebrity users like Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon , Lance Armstrong, Kevin Rose are a part of it. ( Boys……Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Demi Moore can also be followed here :) ), so next time if you see some celebrities in my following list( probably as ‘followers’ some day [wink] ),don’t be astonished . Oh and by-d-way U.S. presidential election used Twitter as part of their election campaigns.President Obama certainly did, as did Hilary Clinton and John McCain.
Some news for PHP lovers ( including myself)……..In late April 2008, TechCrunch reported that, due to downtime related to scaling problems, Twitter would abandon Ruby on Rails as their web framework and start from scratch with PHP or Java. Although this news was soon debunked , but get ready all you php guys…there CAN be scope someday :)
And guess who are the potential expected buyers of Twitter-The very same Yahoo and Google!!
The best feature of this site are its applications (nearly 2,000). And the beauty of Twitter is that you dont have to commit to it;no one expects you to read all the tweets rolling in
So what are we waiting for ……….Happy Tweeting to All !!

Me-time for Moms

Whether you have 1 child or 2, whether you are working or nonworking, whether you live in a nuclear family or a joint family, Me-time seems non existing for mothers. But after experiencing the joy of motherhood for 10 years I have figured out ways to oxygenate myself in between. Here are a few tips to take out self-time, no matter how tight the schedule is.  If you have 1-5 min at your disposal Drink a relaxing drink- Lemonade being my fav. Practice breathing: Anulom-Vilom ( Smell the flowers - Blow the candles, Smell the flowers-Blow the candles) Take your Vitamins Give yourself a refreshing Face wash Hug your child-Trust me, this is the most refreshing thing of them all. If you have 5-10 min at your disposal Call your Friends - I do this most of the time Add those extra mins to your shower time Listen to your fav songs. Change the wallpaper/ringtone of your phone Read an informative blog If you have 10-30 min at your disposal Trim/Water your plants Clean something or rearrange your

What People Usually Talk About.

  Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Pardon me for spilling the beans and letting the secret of your conversations out in the open...but I cannot hold this research analysis anymore. We have this perception that when talking to our friends, we are talking about anything and everything...but 90 % of the time we only talk about the following categories. For example, women tend to talk about their kids, maids, and house, whereas, on the other hand, men have interests in completely opposite topics like sports (usually cricket in India), gym, and politics. I have done a fair study of the things that people generally talk about. Surprisingly it is always the same for men and women separately. So here is a chart based on my survey....... For Men, Politics Rocks all the time !!. And they have strong opinions about their favorite political team as well ( Secret here: Even though I pretend to listen to my husband talking fondly about political issues but I just cannot stand talking about them. ... shhhh

Electronics DetoX

By Nidhi Jain Few years back i read this article : " New Milestone Emerges : Baby's First iPhone App", and it still lingers in my mind. This article was about a study concerning the use of electronics by small children.  As adults(we) turn increasingly occupied with their "Gadgets" (tablets, ipads, iphones, kindles..etc), our children - even the smallest ones are doing equally well . The apps have been developed for all age groups  - Zero to Eight all have their own games and apps.  Ipads and Tablets are the Game changers because of their easy to use property.  Though many parents express pride and amazement that their young children are so tech-savvy, she said, what has really happened is that technology has gotten much easier to use. " My daughter (five months) knows which finger to use while handling a phone",  says one of my friends  Sometimes we as parents willingly give our kids these opportunities to use the tabs and ipads, coz we n
