I was watching Seinfeld episodes and stumbled upon one of the episodes which says what men exactly wants.The words that Jerry Seinfeld spoke was quite interesting and true.This is just an 2 min video that exactly says what men desire in life.So just wanted all the men out there to see and realize what you desire.
Many of you know that I'm writing sponsored content on my techie blog,and for the first time in my life i have been brought into the limelight because of it.As an teenager i(in fact i can include "we") was desperate to earn something out of the internet.It all started a couple of months ago,when me,magi,raja,vj was introduced into the world of sponsored blogging by Rama.Since then my rusted paypal account(i started mine an year ago in view of getting money from adsense but in vain)has been repainted with a few $$ and was seeing some traffic($$).Payperpost (PPP)was the one which provided me the greater income than any other sites and this became an new hobby of mine.As the time passed more people were dragged into this and it reached a point where we started to outsource sponsored post with an 50-50 share there by creating an Win-Win situation for both the sides.
On a fine Wednesday evening i used the plug in that Rama had given me,and was showing some Youtube videos to my school friends.Never have i dreamt that, in a few minutes a post is waiting to get me fame.I was enjoying the "Baby laughing at Wii" video and suddenly heard my plug in shouting(i had opted out one of the options in plug in so video continued to play instead of the page being opened).I neglected the sound and continued to enjoy the video,but my friend distracted by the sound inquired about it and asked me what the sound was.I opened the page to explain him and whaaahhhaa ,to my surprise there was an post with a value of $50.I was shocked(never have i written a post exceeding $10 before this)and within few seconds i reserved it.I was greatly excited and wrote the post with at most care and dedication by checking each and every word for more than three times and made sure that nothing could go wrong.Some days later the post got approved and i thought it that everything has ended,but to my surprise it was just an beginning.... On August 30th i received a mail from the Britt who was a member of PPP crew.The mail stated the following ... I was speechless for some time and then quickly responded to the mail ,stating what i was going to do with the earnings.The stipulated day was just four day wait but it was like a month long for me.In between many things happened such as re-valuation results,unit tests and much more..but nothing mattered to me at this point.At last the dawn of Tuesday(sep 4th) installed new hopes in me and around 8.30 PM(abt 11 AM for them) there were three post at PPP blog out of which two were some one's exclusive interview and the other post stated "Congrats to those 1K Tuesdays posties".On seeing this my eyes bulged out and i was searching for my name among others.I had searched almost upto the end and was about to give up, the review that was posted at the last sounded quite familiar.Yup it was my feedback that was posted (one i replied in the mail) and i was happy.Soon magi came online and i shared the joy with him and he read the post and was happy for me.The best thing that came out of this apart from money was the that linkback,as a result more people have visited my blog since the post.Its a great way to improve the blog ranking!All together the feel was great and it does feels great to be "noticed"!
Bikes have always amused me in many ways,especially after the introduction of these Alloy wheels,digital speedometer and stuffs,i became crazy about them.It all started when my friend Deepak purchased an "Pulsar" during the third year of college, my violent desire toward bikes increased as i saw him fly on his new bike with his lovely girlfriend(actually athu na sight adicha ponnu, avan correct pannittan) and i was like " Namakkum oru kalam varum" . Days passed and all these incidents forced me to talk to my mother.....
Scenario 1
me(gently,softly): Amma ennakku oru bike vennum!
mom(again gently ,softly): Un bike ku enna aachu chellam?
me(anger level 1):Atha la oru bike nu sollatha...athu thagara dabba!
mom(cooly): unakku athu porum, nee college ku bikla pola la , apporum ethuku puthu bike?
mom(stubborn): figure ka ga la bike vanga mudiyathu!!!!!!!!
I was very irritated and next few days went without any words spoken between me and my mom.Third year gracefully passed by like a wind and still i was stuck up with this crap,actually even worse ....two indicators were blinded and the clutch was broke ..I was least bothered and continue to ride it without repairing it.
After a long gap from the previous conversation the bike matter once again resurrected when i saw my cousin getting one, that fu**** wanted to annoy me,so he came home and offered me a drive...i could see a grim smile on his face as he handed over the key(we were not in good terms).....I went out.... the bike was sparkling in the sunlight.... it was an CBZ EXTREME .... and the best part was that it was painted in black(which according to me is the sexiest color in the world)....i just laid a hand on the smooth seat and felt an sudden rush of blood , all the feelings that i have burried inside my heart for an year is about to explode.I decided that its high time i get a bike...and again approached my mom.My mom knew what i was gonna ask and had an plan of her own,which i fell into.......
Scenario 2:
me(very serious): amma enakku kandipa vandi vennum!
mom(without a slightest hesitation): sari vangiko!
me(taken aback) : enna?
mom(cooly): vankiko da but wait till june(just one month away so i waited)!
My 'thatha' had previously told that he would give me money to get a bike,but only on moms permission.Now that i got her permission ,my 'thatha' gave me a sum of 'sixty thousand' and odd for my bike.Few weeks passed by and i was very happy that the "day" will come,little have i known about the master plan that has been laid wide open......and it was the month of june....
Scenario 2 (continued)...
me(happily): amma ,17 th nalla naal ma,poi bike vangallama?
mom: vangallam, intha itha firstu padi!!
She handed over some circular , i could make out that it had come from the college, i opened it and had a shock of a lifetime,This was the starting of the fourth year and just then i remembered that it was "FEES TIME" !!!!!!!!!!!The circular read that "Sum of sixty seven thousand and odd" to be paid on or before june 25th!
mom(again vry cool) : you have two options chellam....I don have money to pay your fees,either pay it with what 'thatha' gave you or if you feel getting the bike is more important do the same!she left the room with a gentle kiss on my forehead!
me(in terror state,frozen) : ???????(words never came out of my mouth)
The whole story ran inside my mind and now i understood why i was asked to wait till June,then i realized this was all a master plan and i have fallen into the spiders web! Without any choice i was forced to give up the only source of money i had to invest on my dream!
One month passed and still thoughtful about my obsession, i approached my sis...who was my only hope now.soon after, she immediately contacted mom and made her accept.Now i was confident that i have my sis on my side.Little i have known that an third scenario would come up......
Scenario 3
By this time the topic has become so common between us,so this time she spoke the first words....
mom: kandipa bike venuma?
Me: ammam!
mom: eppo un GRE?
me: october 15!
mom : suppose you get through your GRE with a decent mark(me and she knows that its highly improbable but just in case) and you decide to do MS, then whats the use of getting a new bike for just a period of six months or so?
For the first time i felt that her reason for not getting a bike was acceptable. So its all up to me now , i have two choices... 1. Go for GRE and forget about my dream of having my own bike in " college life" 2. Forget GRE and go for a bike . So October 15 will be my "judgment day"!! :)
Hi chumps,at last i'm too pulled into writing general post.This is quite an different experience for me since i use to address on technical issues on my techie blog.Before starting this blog i spent a lot of time thinking why i should do this, simple answer i found was the popularity it gets.It is a great feeling when people(friends) visit the blog and comments on the topic which never occurs (very very rare ,about 1% probability) on techie blogs where only the contents matters and you have to regularly blog on daily issues which is very difficult to cope up ,and you need to spend a lot of time on searching and compilation.Other reason that made me start this blog was ,my previous blog was contaminated with the love for money ,and i was forced to write on selected topics which gives me $$$(many here are doing this,and they too know how it feels).So quality of my previous blog went down the drain and probably never can i get it back again :( . I wanted to start this as a fresh and pure blog ,free from money contamination.So today(saturday-day the results came:) ) marks the opening of a new world of blogging for me,and hope you ppl will be there to support me on every stage!
