I've had enough!

I've had enough of having people react - instantaneously - to it when I play some classical music. These people can tolerate Bollywood, and aaaaall kinds of music, endlessly ... and NO, I'm not a kid anymore, that I don't react to their choice in music and I DONT ask them to turn it off, but their inability to listen and their disrespect of MY choice of music ... makes me feel quite sad :(

This rant is not really related to the person in question - it's a sort of letting-it-out for every time that this has happened.

I guess it's a pointless rant too. But I had to let it out. :(

WOW

Vizualization, Interaction, Beauty, Data, Web, Metaphors and More


One element is surprisingly missing though - Sound.
Another is Smell - which maybe doable in this day and age!

nirvana

since Thanksgiving night, i've been going back to my favourite songs from class XI-class XII. it's been sooooooooo long. and i've changed so much. here's some favourites by nirvana. really like these songs. the wierd thing is that when i listen to these songs, i feel like i'm in the presence of another me - someone from long ago, who's unfamiliar now, but still, it's someone i like.

in pursuit of laughs

i have a daily diet of web-comics that i follow very, very religiously.
indexed,
xkcd,
the superest,
geek and poke,
phd comics,
dilbert.

breaks are always spent in pursuit of further breaks. and so on one of those sojourns i found - isitfunnytoday.com. it's kinda like reddit for comics. sad part is - there aren't too many people on the site. and not too many of my fav. comics. but, as they say, the more the merrier.
