The Work From Home Phenomenon

It seems the work from home phenomenon  is rapidly growing. Well I personally preferred virtual internship(Social Media Marketing Intern with PlayCez, Content Writer with IndianGeeksHub) over searching one in Bhubaneswar. There are quite a lot of advantages of it. First of all, you are at ease of working from your home, sitting in your cushioned sofa ,sipping a cup of tea while simultaneously meeting the deadline of the task. You can spend more time with your family and easily be available in case of emergencies.  But this somehow dents productivity of an employee I believe. One should be proficient in using teaming technologies like instant messaging,teleconferencing,desk sharing and efficient use of collaboration softwares. Here is an infographic which illustrates the rising phenomenon of working from home featured on Mashable:

Talking about some other big news taking place here is : PLACEMENTS !!!(a very very scary word ) which I would like to cover some other day.

The Week In Progress

This week has been a messy ?..partly ..sadistic?..na.. productive?..no..Got a mixed feeling about it. The exams  finished today and they were as usual(= bad). I don't have any hopes of scoring good marks in any of them (well this has been a trend since 2nd sem) and neither do I ever study that deeply so that I secure some respectable marks. I barely study 5 min(or less) on a particular topic. I found some pics on a tumblr blog which exactly illustrated my feelings : 

First minute:

5 minutes later:

10 minutes:

15 minutes:

20 minutes:

I don't exactly know what I do on Facebook except than stalking people. I tried to pretend that I am an app developer but #failed at it. These days the thumbnails on Chrome(the best browser for navigation in the world!) show that I spend more time on Twitter than anything(studies included!)  else .


Well I use Twitter because I look for cool and interesting links that are of my interests. One needs to be selective in following people ,otherwise their twitter timeline would be flooded with things which be none of your concern(marketing specialists targeted). There are sometimes very good hastags which trend worldwide and in India too. One of my favorites is #foodmovies and #gujjubond. 
Also the openletter (remember madrasan,delhi wala and gujju point of view?) went viral after tweeple(people on twitter) talked about it.


Talking of startups I found one startup named ownyourinfo.com  which defines itself as an online lockbox system for all the information you need to have stored somewhere really safe. Contracts, memberships, insurances, licenses, credit cards... all that can go into Own Your Info, and the data can actually be stored using a slick template system. I mean how can you secure your important data on net when these days your account can be hacked so easily ( suffering from a headache after recovering a friend's fb account). 


The weekend is still there , hope I will be able to push up some posts on my new venture. 

Weight Loss Plan

A man calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program.
The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.
She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company.
The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."
Without a second thought, he takes off after her.
A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up.
The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens.
On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.
He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program.
The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning and beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life.
She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me."
Well, he's out the door after her like a shot.
This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck.
So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.
Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised.
He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program.
"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."
"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."
The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads,"If I catch you, you are mine!!!"
He lost 63 pounds that week.

Possession Rules of Toddlers

1. If I like it, it's mine. 

2. If it's in my hand, it's mine. 

3. If I can take it from you, it's mine. 

4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine. 

5. If it's mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway. 

6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine. 

7. If it looks just like mine, it is mine. 

8. If I saw it first, it's mine. 

9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically

   becomes mine. 

10. If it's broken, it's yours.
