Don Moen - Like Eagles

Don Moen - Like Eagles


O my soul
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
It's been told form the beginning
The Lord your God is on your side
O my soul don't be afraid
Hope in the Lord
By His righteousness and power
He will strengthen
He will guide


Chorus:
And I will soar
On wings like eagles
Held by the hand of God
I will run and not grow tired
When on His name I call
For the Lord is never weary
His ways are beyond my thoughts
I will trust in Him
With all my heart
(Repeat verses and Chorus)
And I will rest upon His promise
Patiently I'll wait...
(Repeat Chorus 2 times)
I will trust in Him
With all my heart
And I will rest upon His promise
Patiently I'll wait...

An Unstable Confused Mind - Technology to Advertising - A misnomer

Its Monday the 8th of March. Second week of Men's Hostel Life.
The day started early at 8, took my dose of tablets and food for the day. Packed and ready for the drive to Office.

My restless mind likes muti-tasking, It made me switch on the music on my Samsung Star mobile - the Same old ABBA playlist as the first choice and I started my journey.

Just for having read about web site technologies over the weekend, my thoughts made me feel miserable.
I started of thinking about getting well versed in HTML, then said naa may be CSS too .. naa Java Script ..and finally decided DOM's important too .. time passed I passed 5 kilpmeters saw few hoardings and admired the colours.

My mind changed gears, shall we thinking about the Advertising field? I began admiring the colours, was suprised to find that almost all shops had hoardings of discounts being offered, mostly a red and white background. I concluded people talk about recession, but the advertising sector has made the most of it with every shop requiring big fonts with off % season sales. May be I should read about how advertising works? i put the thought aside but couldn't. The thoughts extended when i reached a traffic signal. I admired the light colours of a Videocon Mobile advertising board. I admired the technology that allows you to so. Light colours blended are common on ads these days. Beside it I saw an advertisement for baby products. I realised all baby products are usually yellow, may be thats the catch. From Toys to advertisement, the color yellow works.

Then I admired and thanked Bureaucracy for its work in keeping the roads clean for people like us to enjoy our drive. Imagine driving your car on bumpy roads like we had 15yrs back in Hyderabad.

Finally I reached hostel, dropped my luggage and to office there on.

I realised I started off with technology and ended up with advertising and Bureaucracy, thats how unstable our minds are. 

Big week ahead.

Chao for now

A Weekend of all and no activity

Weekend time.
After my first week at hostel. All went well. I reached home with many things to do and ended up doing nothing.

Saturday morning went well.
I did the routine mail checking and decided to read about how google search engine works and do some research related to it. Thirst for knowledge I would term it as for an unstable confused mind, trying to find get the basics right, wishing it could at least get one concept right.

I spent the Saturday afternoon walking and listening Ace of the Base, and cherishing my memories of the Ger together Dinner we had couple of days back. I decided to write about it. I started of well. In two hours I managed to write about 1500 words which include breaks due to power cuts. Decided to have my dinner, enjoyed the sambar and cutlets, Mom's dishes are always the best I concluded again.I completed the Article about the get together, this time with lesser enthusiasm.By the time I was done, my eyes were heavy and ready to hit the sack and I just did that .. Good Night!!!

Good Morning .. It's Sunday.Sunday went well, Mom decided to let me stay alone as she left for far away located church to pray for my betterment I guess. I was bored the first hour, fought the power cut and was back to downloading Spice Girls and B-Witched. Read more about web site development. It was an eye opener, How things arent just easy the way they look. Took notes and then decided to try some technical implementation stuff of computer languages. Failed miserably after the basics went right. Got back to figure out the perfect way to learn it. Found out there isn't any other perfect way but hard work for months. A lesson we already know that nothing happens in a day. It was a reminder.Packed clothes for the week and off to bed .. Night Night..Tadaa .. Another week ahead...
