Trip to Palaruvi Waterfalls in Kerala
Just came back from another memorable trip to Kerala. The trip was oriented towards visits to a few temples and religious places. In the otherwise hectic schedule, we were able to take some time out to visit the Palaruvi waterfalls near Kollam. This is a tourist destination and is about 75 Kms South of Kollam District.
Some moments that we captured in our Fujifilm Finepix S9600 -

Norway Spiral Light – Another UFO news
It seems the inquisitiveness towards the presence of aliens will never die for any human being. the latest in the addition was the “norway spiral light” as it is being called. It was some kind of a spiral light in the sky. Theories and inferences were many but the actual reason for this light is still unclear.
On Tuesday night, the Norway sky filled with a spiral rotating light that some residents said was as big as the moon. The light stops, then spins into a spiral at a quick pace, and lasted 10-12 minutes before disappearing. No one seems to have the answer as to what it is.

Tweeting tips – My new blog
My latest blog is a dream that I cherished. I was so fascinated by the world of Twitter that I had always wanted to write about it. Twitter was a wonder-website for me. I was one of the early sign-ups to Twitter and was wondering as to how will this new social marketing tool is going to beat the competition out of other tools like the Facebook and Orkut.
But defying all odds, Twitter rose like a colossus beating the competition out of everything and everyone. I was disappointed not to have used this to my benefit because I was always sitting on the fence, unable to decide if this phenomenon is going to work. So I preferred using a Facebook, or a Linked In instead of Twitter.

WordPress Wizard – Learning WordPress easily
WordPress is the best blogging platform that I have ever seen and used. I became a fan of WordPress since the day I first used it to host my first blog at http://liveajoke.wordpress.com.
I fell in love with WordPress, so much so that I immediately knew that this was a powerful tool that I could put to use to create a range of websites and blogs. Today I author about 8 different blogs that are powered by WordPress and I also run numerous minisites on WordPress.
But, is WordPress that easy to install and maintain?

I was fined for Speeding
I was on my way back to home from office. I had never ever driven my car at anything above 60 KMPH and this is the speed at which I was driving that day also.
As I drove around a steep curve, I saw an interceptor in the way. I kept driving because I knew I was not overspeeding and you had to fear an interceptor only if you are over-speeding.
As I neared the interceptor, a police constable walked into the middle of the road and waved me to park the car to the road side. I was surprised. I parked my car and rolled my window down. I asked him what the problem was.

Michael Jackson’s Hair on fire Video
This is a previously unreleased footage of the incident that started the downfall of Michael Jackson. Jacko was so seriously injured in this accident that he just could not recover. Multiple surgeries in order to regain his appearance, followed by a spate of pain-killers destroyed a career that was at the peak when this incident happened.

A Tribute to Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson moonwalked into history a few days back and with him we lost one of the legend of the century. Whatever the conspiracy or, mystery surrounding his death, I know just one thing – my kids would not have an idol to worship when it comes to music.
I still cannot forget the days when I used to come back from school and would throw my bag onto the bed and switch on my tape-recorder to play the “Just beat it” hit of Jacko. His posters were all over in my room. Those were my early days into music. His foot movements and his pelvic thrusts were things that I would want to imitate but were hard to come by.
