What do you do, when its broken
When your face feels warm
And your eyes start to burn
What do you do when your world get shaken
What do you do when you cant reach out
When every step is you take falls wrong
And you are along listening to a sad song
What do you do when all you are left with is doubt
What do you do when you lie down alone to sleep
When the one you love, is the one who is gone
And she takes away the only friend you had
What do you do when you are the only one hearing your breathe
Is there anyone to whom i can alight
Is there anyone who can lift me up when shy
IS there anyone who belives i am right
Is there anyone of likes the way i cry
In me,
There is fear and anger inside me
In me,
There is despair and uncertainty
In me,
There is sadness and there is pain
I bear responsibility to losiing the best thing i ever had -
Black on white , my name is Untitled – Notepad

Earlier today i was on my computer when i had a few ideas for a gift i have been planning for a friend. I thought i would quickly note them down somewhere. Back in the Gnome 2.x days i used the Sticky Notes applet, which was quite useful. It didn’t have any fancy ‘cloud sync’ features but it did the job. Each time i would see my desktop i would see a yellow post-it like note reminding me. Since then, i have upgraded to Gnome 3.0 and with it came the Gnome Shell. I love most parts of it (even if it is similar to the OS X design). So i thought to myself, if we could have a Sticky Notes extension. So i made up a quick a quick mock-up using Mockingbird. I wish i could implement it too, however i neither have the time at the moment nor the skills (well the latter can always be learnt). Here is the mock-up :

Modern Living has enveloped us all in everyday life. From being woken up by a snooze alarm clock, the toast popping up from the toaster till the time your iPod puts you back to sleep. Its the good life. However it has also brought along its overheads that makes us almost dependent to modern lifestyle and its bells and whistles. From the core of values, perhaps the one thing missing is Innocence.
Innocence is missing at home, in corporate offices, in politics and every walk of life. Lack of this innocence encompasses lying for benefit, shrewdness to the point of obscenity and pretend living till the time we don’t realize who we have become and lose our identity. Its pushing young kinds into bad habits and the adults just have become accustomed to this. Everyone today is a cut-throat bitch. So while we may have the technology and advancement in science to keeping us update to date with our prescription – I am questioning the very need for this entire cycle.
Innocence is something we are born with, but get rudely taken away from us as we grow up. To say the truth, to smile genuinely, to being in love ; this the innocence we have lost. Lets get back to basics. Lets appreciate the little things in life. Start small, start with honesty and notice the change in you and the way you look at life.

I finally decided to take the plunge in to the sea on android, and get myself the best the market has to offer. After weeding through the basic phones(Sony Ericsson Xperia 10 mini pro) and the some that are really different (Motorola Backflip) I am left with two – The Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and the HTC Desire. Both are beautiful phone. While the Galaxy boats of raw beast like power, the desire has a gorgeous and desirable look and feel to it.
A people have problems about the desire being pitted and critiqued against the Galaxy S on the HTC Desire. Both phones have pros and cons and invariably all threads turn into flame wars with each contingency coming in full support for the phone they like/support. After reading reviews and seeing enough videos, i finally got the change to go and demo these two devices. Here are my reactions :
1. Galaxy S has a really ugly design, aesthetically this phone is a piece of cheap plastic. Sorry to be harsh, but thats the truth. it looks like the iPhone but feel wise its nothing like it (its worse). So feel wise, this device definitely takes a hit. The Desire on the other hand is smooth. Love the feel of the phone, it feels like a phone!
WIN : Desire
2. I did not notice a lag while swiping through the screens. The Touchwiz 3.0 UI is ordinary to say the least.If i buy it i would definitely look to replace it. The Sense UI is better, but honestly i would prefer stick android.
WIN : Desire Sense UI (better of two devils)
3. Performance : This is where the device scores, its a beast yes. Applications run fast and smooth. While the desire was fast, it was always feel behind a few seconds.
WIN : Galaxy S
4. Texting : I text a LOT. I have a Samsung Corby pro and this device is amazing for heavy texting! While both the desire and galaxy have on screen keyboard, i did not find it easy to type on galaxy s, despite the unique swype method. Ergonomically it was painful to hold the phone in one hand like a slate and swipe my index finger to type texts. i prefer to hold my device like a gamepad and text with my thumbs. The desire fits very comfortably and as many reviews have said, it has one of the best on screen keypads around
WIN : Desire
5. Gaming : Galaxy all the way. Noticeable difference, hell yes. Who wants to play games on phones? I DO! One thing i would like to compare is the gaming comparison with iPhone 3Gs. The game that i played was i think not on the iPhone so i could only test between these two devices and the performance on Galaxy S felt much better.
WIN: Galaxy S
So here is where i am confused. The two most important things for me is texting and gaming. Desire wins in texting , Galaxy wins in gaming. however if the desire is on par or better in gaming as compared to the iPhone/iTouch then i am willing to settle
