A FuLLy-FaLtOo BloG

Now recharge your mobile online for FREE (well almost)

Try, FreeCharge which provides discount coupons of more (or atleast equal) the recharge amount. YES, I have tried it and it really is good. Plus, it saves from queue at the shops.

It supports all networks except Airtel and Idea currently. Also, I wish if they provided options for Tariff Recharge too (like RechargeItNow does).

My favorite lyrics

With new talent replacing the old everywhere, it is refreshingly new to hear new songs, with new lyrics. They are no longer concentrated around “phulon ki khushboon” or “chand aur taare”. Here are my some lines which are very un-orthodox, embedded into wonderful tunes.

Nayan Tarse - Dev.D - Amitabh Bhattacharya

Saawan barse, saawan barse,
Chuban de hazaar,
Saawan barse.
Gaali si laage malhaar…
Nayan tarse, tarse, TARSE RE!!!!

I became a fan of Amitabh Bhattacharya as soon as I listened to “Chakkar Ghumyo” from Aamir. He is AWESOME and my current favorite.

Geet (Kuch Naya toh Zaroor hai) - Udaan - Amitabh Bhattacharya

Jaibon mein ham raatain liye ghooma karai
fursat ke yeh moqe sabhi jhooma karain.

Haan yeh umangon se dhula huwa seena hai
lamha yeh maanga nahi, isse humne cheena hai.

Once again Amitabh Bhattacharya :) , well don’t blame me - he deserves even more.

Arziyan - Delhi 6 - Prasoon Joshi

Sar utha ke maine to kitni khwahishein ki thi,
Kitne khwab dekhe the, kitni koshishein ki thi,
 Jab tu rubaroo aaya, nazre naa mila paaya,
 Sar jhuka ke ek pal mein, maine kya nahi paaya.

People like A.R.Rahman and Prasoon Joshi give an identity to brands. Like people recognize Airtel by Rahman’s tune, similarly Prasoon Joshi gave “Thanda Matlab Coca-Cola”.

Kaise Mujhe - Ghajini - Prasoon Joshi

Main To Yeh Sochta Tha, Ke Aaj Kal
Upar Waale Ko Fursat Nahi,
Lekin Tumhe Banaake Woh,
Meri Nazar Main Chadh Gaya,
Rutbe Main Woh, Aur Badh Gaya

Aaj Din Chadheya - Love Aaj Kal - Irshad Kamil

Maanga jo mera hai
Jaata kya tera hai
Maine kaun si, tujhse jannat maang li
Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali

Get Up Earlier and Do More Work

modernnerd:

“One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that if you drive into London at 6am, half of the cars on the roads are Porsches and Astons. Whereas if you go in at ten to nine, they’re all Renaults. Simple solution, then. You want a nice car? Get up earlier and do more work.”

Using Pomodoro Technique to get things done

I recently read about the Pomodoro Technique at Lifehacker. Simply put, it is to:

Choose a task to be accomplished.

Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes (the Pomodoro is the timer).

Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings.

Thus it is to do “distraction free working in dashes”. 5 to 6 Pomodoros a day can help you achieve many goals/targets. Try it!!!

Above pic is my favorite Pomodoro Timer [using Rhythmbox - Alarm Plugin on Ubuntu - Linux]. Others may try timers in mobile phones, or simply a start-stop watch.
