Let us fight inflation

Inflation rate is rising day by day. The prices are increasing. These many days we are not worried because we were not affected by the inflation. But the time has come that we, the common man of the R.K Laxman too get affected. So let us fight against it. I have made some very simple tips to secure ourselves from inflations:
Foods:
Reduce the frequency of visiting Cofee Day, Fizza huts, KFC and so on.
Relay on self service Darshinis instead of paying double for the same food at AC service rooms until inflation comes to hold.
Take homemade foods to office or college.
Gadgets:
Don’t think of changing mobile phones now.
Leave the idea of new Laptop when there is a PC in good condition at home.
Think foe second hand gadgets at good condition.
Fashion:
Don’t buy unnecessary clothes whenever you see some good stuff.
Open your wardrobe and look for clothes you never wore.
Move from brand factory to shops where you can bargain.
Buy shoes only if you need it.
Go for shoes and belts which suits for both formal and casuals.
Money:
Try to save money, make use of the increased interest rates of the bank deposits, now some banks are giving about 11% pa.
Take the advantage of market and mutual funds, make hey when the sun shine.
Stationeries:
If you are a student, instead of buying books for you self you can photocopy the pages you required borrowing the books from the library.
Use rough papers for rough works; let the A4 sheets for their own purpose.
You can adjust for a good low cost pen for sometime.
Traveling:
Travel only when it is necessary.
Walk if the destination is nearer and you are not in urgency.
Make your mind riding bicycle doesn’t harm your dignity.
Don’t waste 100Rs of petrol for the talk of 15 minutes, speak in phone, and make use of low tariffs.
Entertainments:
Stop visiting Coffee day, clubs, and pubs like hangout places and research how you can get entertained without these.
Stop watching every movie that releases in multiplex.Let us follow it for few days and fight inflation.

Get tensed like guitar

It is common hearing- don’t get tensed, dude. But I’m telling get tensed. Learn to get tensed from guitar. In terms of physics, when the string loaded with strain, tension builds up on it. If the strings of the guitar are loosened they won’t contribute good music. They should be tensed to produce good music as per the guitarist’s wish. Likewise we should also be tensed little bit to achieve our goal. If we are not at all tensed then we won’t produce whatever we dream. Before any event ahead of us we should build a little pressure on us, get little tensed, achieve it, and relax.

You also know what it happens to the string if it is more tightened; it breaks up under high tension. You too, don’t get tensed too much. It vanishes concentration, raises pressure, and gives head ache. An optimum tension brings a good music.

She was searching for somebody there to ask time

It happened in lovely Bangaluru. That calm afternoon I was about to reach Vijayanagara in bus no 61 A. I was at the door on the footboard. I could see a little garden and few small tents of the workers who might be working for the construction of the subway nearby. I saw a girl near that who was peeping out of the garden wall whose eyes could tell she is searching for someone.

I reached the bus stop. Started to walk in the same direction where I saw that girl towards the hotel. It was rainy and no one was on the footpath. The girl was still standing there, she looked happy by seeing me just like she got what she was waiting for. It was already ten minutes past when I saw her from the bus. I don’t know when she started looking for somebody. When I came nearer she asked “ಟೈಮ್ ಎಸ್ಟಾಯ್ತು?” what is the time now? I replied “ಎರಡೂವರೆ” two thirty. She was so happy and ran into the tent.

I had seen so many people asking time. But I didn’t know there are people who need to wait for someone to tell time!!

First Dollar from Google Adsense

I had a dream, without investment I should earn money before I finish my graduation. Thanks to Google, it made my dream come true.

I started hunting for Adsense account in early March this year. I didn't get an account for a month for the reason that the address I had given was not valid. I wanted my address to be of my village; even the Google search would not return the result for the search of this unknown village. Later I got the account for the same address.

Then I started trying to put the ads in my Wordpress blog Sumsumne. I got html codes and tried a lot to insert it into my blog. Later I came to know Wordpress templates won’t support this. I had to subscribe for RSS by paying the charges, then only can upload my own template. It was not what I wanted.

I knew, blogger is supporting Adsense as it is also a Google product. I created my new blog in blogger and started posting into it. It took about one month to get a first click on the ad. I got first dollar in my Ad sense account.

That was June 25^th; I had just finished the last exam of my engineering graduation.
