BIG fat Disclaimer:
The intention of this post is NOT to encourage employees to access social networking websites from office.
I strongly recommend that readers refrain from opening the links mentioned through company-provided internet access.


Ok..that was the dishclaimer i added wen i posted this on my company blogspace.. cant take any chances, u know, with IT co's, and particularly mine, seemingly hell bent on kicking ppl out!
Well, the purpose of this post is not to bitch about my employer..that, i guess, will come sometime later.

Posting to tell you guys about LifeinLines.com, a startup by one of my school buddies, Ankur Gattani, an IIT-B + IIM-C alumnus, that’s way ahead of everything you’ve ever come across online.
LifeinLines or LiL is, as Ankur puts it, “a platform to capture little moments from your life”.

Another mindless Twitter copycat? Or is it? Well, fellas, look again will ya?

LiL is not just about microblogging. You can upload pics, videos, sound clips along with an unlimited number of words to express yourself and tell the “ongoing story of your life”. J
Oh, and you can post to the site thru web, Gtalk, by sending an email, sending an SMS / MMS or by making a phone call to record your voice.
Each post can be stored privately or shared with selected people by making use of six levels of privacy settings!

Ok, I better cut the crap right here and let u ppl go out there and explore it yourselves.
Do take a look at this site and lemme know what you think. (No, i'm not trying to invite comments here.. *sigh*..ok ok maybe i am..so wat huh?)


PS: You can read more about LiL here and here.

The Music Tag

Taking the tag from Ruchi.. here's wat i got:

1.IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY?” YOU SAY?

King Nothing - Metallica

All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown


Moral of the story - Doesnt matter whether watever u've done is okay or not.. u'll soon be in deep shit..just a matter of time :P

2.WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?

Painkiller - Judas Priest

Faster than a bullet
Terrifying scream
Enraged and full of anger
He's half man and half machine

Rides the Metal Monster
Breathing smoke and fire
Closing in with vengeance soaring high


Do i look like Robocop or wat? ^o)

3.WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL?

Leave no Trace - Anathema

4.HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?

Breakfast at Tiffany's - Deep Blue Something

5.WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE?

The Trooper - Iron Maiden

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.


Is this a sign that i shud be joining the army and kick some puke-stani a$$? :P

wait a minute..wat abt the last few words:

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.


err.. on second thot... maybe i'm better off being a Software Benchineer :D

The grass was greener
The life was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder

The endless river
Forever and ever

14.WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?

Engel - Rammstein

WTF! i dint know my parents think in German!!

15.WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?

If only you could have seen
how f**ked up my life used to be
then everything starts to change
supposedly healing my pain
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
Its all these demons haunting me
Its all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin
Its taken me all my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again


I'm a psycho, i'm a psycho, i'm a freakin psycho!


PS: There were serious accusations about me searching for perfect songs for each of the questions when i posted this on my company blog space. Well, before the brickbats start coming here too lemme..err..confess that i did in fact skip a song or two for a couple of questions.. but i swear to god it was for the 'greater good' and that i had no intentions of taking over the world or hurting Maneka Gandhi's sentiments.
