Birthday Special

It was my birthday yesterday (24th Sept). Wishes poured in from friends and loved ones. Wife and I had a great time having our own little celebration. At work there was a little cake-cutting, courtsey of my dear colleagues. All in all, a great birthday, no question! Couldn't be better.

However, there was something other than the usual celebrations and wishes that made it even better.

Make a list! Now!

Have you ever tried maing a to-do list, at work or otherwise? How many actually followed the list all the way to the end?
I often use it at work, and find it extremely useful. Especially on days when I have too many items on my plate and I can't focus on one thing without worrying about another at the back of my head. There are often days when I flit from one job to another, without giving each its due attention, wasting too much time switching, and end up tired, confused, and frustrated at the end of the day, not to mention very less productive.
Lists show the way to organize work and save the day!

Updates!

I made a few changes around the site today: added an About page and moved the Photography Links page. See the tabs bar above.
That's all I have for today, sorry. New posts coming up in the next 2-3 days! :-)

Regards,
Aashish

Doodling around

I've been doodling a bit today. Feeling slightly inspired by drawings on xkcd. 
Take a look.

There's hope for you too - Part 3

Hope you liked the last two parts (part 1 and part 2). At the very least, I hope I was able to say what you wanted to hear, because that's what you were probably looking for.
Now, something a little helpful. Something that I try often.

SMS? What's that?

When was the last time you actually sent a 'text', the good old-fashioned SMS?

I sent one today after countless days of using whatsnot messengers and such. I've been receiving texts for bank account updates, billing reminders, ads, but I haven't actually sent one to anyone in my contact list. For many days (months?).
