Life is like a battery. It will be in good and active condition when we first buy it. Then the charge keeps drowning below the nominal value slowly, we’ll newer notice this process. Some people are conscious about this and gets to sense the end and take necessary remedy action before it gives trouble. Some just says what the hell happened and throws away even the device to which it supplies power. Newest in our life always drives us to euphoric state, then gradually it will loose its shine.

Fortunately our life is like a rechargeable battery. To recharge, it requires some time. And some conscious foresight into the future as its source of supply.

Definitely one day that battery will reach its end, not-rechargeable-anymore condition. At that time, best thing to do is accept the fact and if possible through it away and buy a new one. But condemning at the end of single cycle and end of life has huge difference. Most people knows the difference for the rechargeable battery and refuses to understand when it comes to life.

I am reading a book now. “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie. So far the book was very very very good. I have no doubt the rest will also be like that.

At one part, to avoid unwanted worry, he advocates to accept the inevitable before it happens. Be ready to face the worst that could happen to have a clear undisturbed mental activity while working. Wonderful.

And at  other chapter of the same book, to succeed in whatever work you do, he advices to be optimistic and think only about the positive things. He says what u expect is what you get. Got it.

But isn’t there a contradiction  between these two statements??

Maybe completing the book will help clearing the ambiguity

There is some greater power which has control over all the living and non-living things in this and all other universes. Totally agreed. Denying ideologies that is far from one’s comprehension is stupid.

I go to temples. I perform all rituals which I mostly don’t understand. I know some poeples who goes to every pilgrimage to search god, to feel god. But sometimes I feel something is weird in it. What about searching it in our home.. in ourself..

What about worshipping parents, who are ready to give whatever you wish for within their capablilites. Is it not better than worshipping where the results are unsure? I personally feel few minutes in absolute silence and just some well-wishers advice will solve any unsolvable problems.

I don’t know much about financial management and obviously its importance.  Had a subject in my college about finance management. I used to sleep in that class. But nowadays I feel it is very important to manage finance. But conventional way of book keeping is not attractive to most peoples especially peoples travelling all the time.  This post is for such people and who have internet access most of the time. Ability to use own memory as a buffer is added advantage. I am big fan of google, its products are beyond perfect. they dont offer free application/product/service for financial management. But we can do it with google docs, gmail quick links with little effort.

Our focus is personal/family finance management.

Google Docs Steps:

1. Goto google docs from your gmail.
2. Create New -> Form
3. Give name for form (e.g. Expense Details). One spreadsheet will be created in the same name for viewing datas
4. Add required fields (Date of Transaction, Time of Transaction, Paid to, Amount, Description)
5. Save the form.
6.  Email the form to your gmail ID. Don’t forget to  check “Include form in email body”.

Gmail Quick Links part:

1. By the time, you may have received the email with the form.
2. Goto Settings -> Labs in gmail.
3. Enable the “Quick Links”. Save the changes. Quick links area will appear on the left corner of the gmail.
4. Now open the received mail with the form.
5. Now click “Add Quick link” link at quick links area. Name the link appropriate name like “Expense Details”.

Just click the link “Expense Details”. The respective email will be brought to foreground even from the abyss. Enter the details. Submit the form. Simple. Quick links avoids the pain of searching the form for entering expenses details. Now your gmail has a form to enter the time to time expenses in addition to checking emails. I’ll check my mail more than four times a day. So it is very helpful. We can email the form to any people. With little coordination we can make family finance management interesting.

All you have to do is enter the expenses whenever you get the time to surf. At background the details will be logged into the spreadsheet created for the form. You can do the tallying part at end of the month or week. You can have different forms (Income Details, Debt Details). The form fields are not limited to just text boxes, you can have checkboxes, text areas, etc.

I m exploring how to automatically generate balance sheets and cash flow statements within google docs. I will update this post if I find how to do it.

Google is getting smarter and intelligent day by day. I was typing a mail to a supplier to provide specifications for a good. It was long mail and two files should be attached to it. while typing the body i totally forgot the two files. Actually i was typing without much concentration. When i clicked “Send” gmail sensed the “find attached” phrase in the body and displayed the message

“Did you mean to attach files?

You wrote ‘find attached’ in your message, but there are no files attached. Send anyway?”

I got this reply “No file attached in the mail” from the destination many times. Some brains have inability to auto-correct from previous mistakes for specific routines.  It is a really useful and cool addition for such peoples.

There is so much speculation on “How much Mayawati’s  1000 rupees Garland worth.”  Some says it comes around 2-5 crores.  some says it might have crossed 22 crores.  Today morning, I read a news stating “Maya received another garland worth rupees  18+ lakh”. BSP officals also said “This is the reply for opposition party’s stand on 1000 rupees garland.”

Garlands made of money is mainly rewarded to Street Performers doing different tricks. It implies here  Street Performer is choosen as C.M. by some innocent peoples. Crab always return to Sea, irrespective of how many times you restored it from there. What poor peoples do when they are provided  with decent money, one time, just for a single vote when they are still craving for food. Those peoples are not in a position to think more than present tense and can never come out of past tense. So keeping them poor is also an advantages for next election.

Can’t believe they spent 200+ crores for the rally. At least she should have spent that money by giving free Television as TN C.M did to keep the peoples busy watching T.V. Because peoples awareness is not good for politics. Forgot to mention about her statues everywhere in U.P and its worth.

Many Many Happy Returns of the day to the living legend. He is worshipped by millions not only for his acting skills, for his humane nature too.

Thalaiva million people are waiting for you, for you to enter into politics. but beware half of them will vote against you for just a half brandy and Chicken biriyani.

Great loss for fans. Great relief for him. Beat it!
