Bachelor boy..

When I was young my father said
'Son I have something to say'
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dying days

He said son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son you'll be a bachelor boy
Until your dying days

When I was 16 I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time
What my daddy said to me

He said son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son you'll be a bachelor boy
Until your dying days

As time goes by I probably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves

But until then I'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dying days

Deja Vu!

Finally it is here fellow earthlings, the complete Deja Vu experience!

I have successfully maintained two great blogs simultaneously for some time now. I cannot say whether it is better or worse than having just one blog, but it is different for sure. Kills the monotony.

And it was imperative for me to someday post the same posting on this blog of mine and the other blog of mine. And so today is the day.

Why am I making such a fuss about it ? No, I am not making a fuss :P I just wanted to do it someday, and so am very happy that finally am doing it!

The complete Deja Vu!

The Great | The Great

The 1 Gb fairytale, and more..

It's quite a fairytale story. About a month back I had around 30-40 Megabytes of email web space, if I included the 3-4 accounts that I more or less frequently visited, with a couple of them reminding me that I'm getting full. And in just over a month I suddenly have over 2000 Megabytes of space!

Gmail still is in Beta, and is giving login problems. Yet, in the past month it has proved how powerful it is. Rediff has effectively entered the market before Gmail, but seems to have committed the one and only mistake - like the bomb squad guys. Quite frankly, I do not really believe what Rediff claims, they cannot give that much space. And the fact that inbox doesn't even open now on Rediff only produces more smoke around the fire. With Google still in Beta, and even Yahoo just going to 100 Megabytes, I really have reasons to suspect Rediff's claim. And if those claims are false, God knows what happens of Rediff next.

Anyway regardless of what the truth is, the real fact is that the users are in an absolute win-win situation :D I really pity those guys, who over a month back, might have shelled out a few dollars to get around 5-10 Mb more of email-space! :P

Google rocks!

Revamped!

So here I am (again!), posting after this major revamping of my blog on a cosy, comfortable afternoon/evening, on an extremely pleasant drizzling day.

I have become a see-saw, it seems. Rolling from Blogger to Livejournal and then back, and then back again. Actually the brand loyalty thing makes me come back to Blogger time and again :), apart from the fact that Blogger offers the 'as you like it' service. Yet the friends and commenting feature on Livejournal makes me go back.

So there you see, a completely satisfying blogging website still does not exist. While Blogger scores mainly on the 'customization' part, LJ seemingly banks on 'community blogging' feature. If either of the two could introduce the feature it lacks, then it's gonna be a sure winner. Apart from that LJ's interface is simpler and slightly faster in comparison.

Only thing I fail to understand is that these features are not too tough to add, considering the fact that they already have such good sites up. So why not just go ahead and fight for it and win back your customers for ever and ever ? I just keep wondering.

So that is that about blogging and me. Yet I desperately pray for one blog-host that gives me all what I want. And I do not want too much ! :D

Ankur.
