I'm back again!

Helloooooo...
Well, seems like no one's reading my blog anymore! Haha!! Well, I'm back again, back with a bang!

I was dumped with sooooo much work, I hardly had time to even remember it existed. Until now!

I'll update you guys with what has been happening with me...

My mom was here with me, for three months. My dad came here for a month, while my mom was here. Now both my parents are back at Doha.

I've been struggling with my thesis work, and my paid work, and some voluntary work as well. Incidentally, all three involve working with Ruby on Rails! Well, it was a bit stressful at times, but its also fun working with Rails! :)

Very soon, I'm going to post the following:
1. Pictures of the wonderful sweets and snacks my mom made for the festivals she celebrated with me here.
2. Some funny audios I created with my Macbook's GarageBand.
3. A post promoting my thesis work! (I need you guys to play around with a sensational(!) facebook application revolving around sustainability, so that I can do some kind of research work on the user activity and get done with my thesis work)
4. A LOT of interesting info I've been stepping upon in the World Wide Web.
5. A lot of stuff about what I've been doing.
6. And, a lot of ramblings! :)

Stay Tuned...

XOXO,

Science of Scams

(This was so exciting that I didnt want to allow it to rot in the drafts, and just had to publish it!)

How many times have we come across videos that claim to show live footage of ghosts and spirits? And how many videos have we seen on Youtube that boast about telekinetic powers?!! Well, there are more weird videos out there, but did you know that there was a scientific principle behind all these "stupid" videos? Know it now, from Derren Brown and Kat Akingbade, in their Science of Scams series.

Derren and Kat show you how these scams are made, and what is the scientific principle behind all these. Now, when people say ghosts are not scientific, well, you know now, they are scientifically produced! ;) I dont want to give too much away, but take a look at the website. Between you and me, the website is a refreshing change from the other usual websites. The design is very impressive and intriguing. I shall post the videos as separate posts, as and when they are published, so you can watch them here.

Another Break!

Aaaarrrggghhh.. These past few weeks have been so stressful! :( I cant remember the last time I had a good laugh or slept peacefully, without having to think what I need to complete the next day.

I just finished completing a major piece of work, and now, I'm feeling soooo relaxed... :) Wish it could last! So while taking this break, I thought, why not publish some of my drafts. But then, when I looked at the list of the drafts, the blogger interface looked more like another big chunk of work to be completed, and I rejected that idea. :)

Anyway, this post is just to let you guys know that I havent forgotten my blog!! Hehehe!!! And that, very soon... very soon, I should be able to post my drafts and a few other posts that are drafted in my brain! Hehe!!

Keep coming back! :)

And guess what? My dad's here too now!! Having lots of fun with Mom and Dad!! Yay! :)
