Internet Changed Me

By -
   I had never used Internet for study purpose until I came in the category of Competitive Exam Candidates. After I completed graduation I got placed in a good company but soon left it due to excessive work load and overtime. I was looking out for joining an MBA college. When I left my job, for a 6-8 months in a row I would look out for bank exams, competitive exams and MBA entrance exams. I tried all possible exams. During this time I learned the much acclaimed art of Online learning and I almost did not feel the need to have a book, a physical book.

      If I would want a book I would order it Online, again taking help of Online reviews. I have become an Internet addict now. In the process to know the meaning of each and every word read, there is a constant requirement of Internet connectivity. From movie reviews to best MBA college reviews I take help of dedicated sites with genuine reviews.

    I am also an addict of Wikipedia as it just answers your questions right. This surfing habit has made me aware and I know what is going around the world. I can see famous personalities and remember them by their faces. And their deeds..well you never forget those, good or bad. I also come to know about various campaigns, rallies and events. If I subscribe to lets say mumbaitheatreguide.com I come know the theatre show timings.

   During this free time I developed a habit of making best out of waste craft items, which I think is the most gripping thing taking me away from the tensions. I look at ideas and activities Online and give daily time for this activity. I have also started blogging my thoughts and posting my photography photos. I dedicate 1 hour everyday to these. They are becoming a part of my everyday routine. Sites like Pinterest.com or Flickr.com I see a world full people having likes similar to those of  mine. Thus, not feeling alone at all.

    Well, I also make sure I do not waste my whole day behind this blogging/posting/pinning mania. But I am sure these will be a larger part of my life one day.
I hope to improve the style of my writing, better the content of writing and take photography seriously.

Surely Internet has changed me and made me more alert,aware and mature. I do love to read from books. Well, when a difficult word arises I open the browser receiving the answer in milliseconds. Thats surely a sign of an addict when I have an Oxford and Cambridge dictionary at home. :D

 Well, this is my Flickr link is http://www.flickr.com/photos/fotodekho_shruti/

Our very own Xmas creation! Christmas is here and I have a very exciting project to share with you. Remember how we collected all the waste available in the house and make something fun out of it? This is exactly what I did this Christmas but with a twist. This time I went outside and collected some tree branches, dried flowers and bird feathers. The result was amazing. Everytime I make something out of waste it makes me happy. This time it was more fun because it was my friend who made me do all this and helped me ideate and create this beautiful Xmas tree. Its so much better and easier when you work with equally enthusiastic person. So without wasting much of your time, here I show you how to make this...... We first went out and picked up: 1) tree branches 2) dry flowers 3) crow feathers Waste stuff in my Junkyard that I already had: 1) cleaned acrylic color bottles 2) waste tic-tac boxes and other small boxes 3) old out of use t-shirt

“…but better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”  “it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.” “Like a compass needle that points north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always.” “It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime…”   " A man’s plumbing is like his mind: simple, very few surprises. You ladies, on the other hand…well, God put a lot of thought into making you. " " There is only one sin. and that is theft… when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth. " " In the end, the world always wins. That’s just the way of things. " " Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the VOLUME on life. Silence is pushing the OFF button. Shutting it down. All of it. "   " If there’s a God out there, then i would hope he has more important things to att
