Thought of the day

This one comes from "How i met your mother"

Robin: Ted, the future is scary. But you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar. Yes, it's tempting...
Barney: But it's a mistake.

Thought of the day... 2

एहसास के लिए एक लम्हा भी काफी है वरना कमबख्त कभी कभी उम्र गुजर जाती है इन्तजार में ...

तलाश...

This poem has been taken from a scene in "Leaving Home", the documentary on the indian musical band "Indian Ocean". The way Asheem quoted this, it just touched me.

यूँ निकल पड़ा हूँ सफ़र पे मैं, मुझे मंजिलों की तलाश है

नए रास्ते नए आसमां, नए हौसलों की तलाश है

जहाँ बंदिशों की हो हद खत्म, उस हसीं शहर की तलाश है

जहाँ रंग-ओ-खुशबू का हो मिलन, मुझे उस उफक की तलाश है

मुझे मंजिलों की फिकर नहीं, मुझे रास्तों से प्यार है

जो मेरे साथ साथ चल सके, उस हमसफ़र की तलाश है...

Thought of the day...

मुआ क्या कब्रिस्ताना माहौल है
सब ने खुद को किसी गम-ए-कब्र में दफना रखा है?

Thought of the day...

A thought just came across that its been really long since i posted a "Thought of the day.." and why is it so? I guess i'm getting stable now :-), less worried and more productive and no more of those meta-thinking that i used to do few months back. To hell with that, who wants to waste the precious time!!!? ;-)

बस यूँही...

आज फिर उस गली से गुजरे हम
हुए पुराने लम्हे रूबरू
तुम न थे दूर दूर तक कहीं
फिर भी की हमने गुफ्तगू...

Thought of the day...

All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy;
All play and no work, makes Jack a mere toy!

Orkut showing vulgar ADs and cutting them off using Firefox

So this morning i login to my orkut a/c and guess what... i'm greeted with annoying vulgar ads [see below].

Well i appreciate free services provided by these companies (including Google) and do allow ads from online sites at times but that doesn't mean you will show any bulls**t to me.

And then i added orkut as well to my ads filter. Here is how you can avoid these ads using Firefox.

1. Install latest firefox release from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2. Open firefox and install latest release of AdBlock Plus Plugin from http://adblockplus.org/en/installation
3. Select one of the Filter subscription (this is a default blacklist contributed by the community and helps you combat with many generic Ads) [I'm subscribed to EasyList]

Now you are ready to block any unwanted Ads whenever you encounter them while surfing. Just right click on the area where AD is appearing; a menu like below will appear


Select "Adblock IFrame" or "Adblock Frame" (whichever is the case). You will see something like below appear.


We will edit that to further block any ADs like this.


Thats it. Say "OK" and you are done. You won't see any further ADs on orkut. Say cheese.... :-)
