All about YOU !

 'The You Code' written by Judi James and James Moore. This book explains the hidden meaning behind all your habits and choices to show what people really think of it and you can find out everything you want to know about your friends,colleagues or even a potential mate, without asking them a single question... An amusing read !!


So here is an extract from the book:

What your Net habits say?

Facebookers:
You are someone who uses social life to endorse and stroke your ego because this site is all about numbers than quality of chat. 'I have three hundred friends' is the frequent boast of the facebooker and the fact that you have never met your 'friends' and that you could be conversing with a serial killer doesn't matter one jot. Trusting and boastful witha coating of superficiality and fun around a hard centre of low self esteem.

Twitterers:
If you're a twitterer there's a strong whiff of narcissism about you because you must live in the that the world is waiting to hear every beat of your heart or pick of your nose. Why stand idly in a queue in Waitrose when you can be announcing to the world the contents of your shopping trolley. You're the grandiose type who sends round robins at Christmas, not realising that no one is interested.

Bloggers:
The Samuel Pepys of your time,you are clearly full to bursting with wonderful thoughts and takes on the world and as sure as eggs that there will be takers out there for all your wisdom. Bloggers can be neurotic extroverts: neurotic because diary-keeping is therapeutic  and can offload all the stress of the day via a form of confessional, and extrovert because planting all that info on the web is a little psyche flashing. This person really does feel that he/she has fans out there waiting for the next public performance.

Loved the description about bloggers(kalaichutaangapa!!), Totally addicitive and thoroughly entertaining book!

Zen O Zen - Part 1

This  'Zen o Zen' series is my quest for zen that started in 2007 and will contain some wonderful zen thoughts that I would like to share as it could be of great help to those who are in search of peace and happiness. In the process of finding happiness , we either rely on the things that has happened in the past or that we are expecting to happen in future. No one bothers to find it in their present.  Below is the excerpt from Dr. Martin luther king Jr.'s speech. Awesome lines....must read for all those who complain about their present state, the work they do or they are forced to do!! And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better. If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, swe...

Terima Kasih Bali - Akkarai seemai azhaginile - Part -2

Image
Honesty - Seldom do we get to see honest people. When in my own motherland , the auto rickshaw walah took away my purse which had a low cost mobile, pancard and some chillar money in it couple of years ago in front of my eyes, how can I have any expectation from a foreign land , where thousands of tourists come and go daily? That is how I felt when my partner lost his wallet in Bali , where we were out on a holiday trip few months ago. Two more days to go for the return flight, hotel bills to be settled and our daily needs to met for the rest of the trip with two little kids, we were slightly disheartened that our hardearned money had gone for a toss. With no hope of  getting our wallet back, we continued to search in the crowded zoo of Bali, where we took an elephant ride 2 hours before we actually realised that we lost our wallet. All the Zen I think and speak about , had completely flown out of me. That is when the local Bali guide who was with us a...
