Glass of water

Could not resist to write this one! - One of my all time favourites (Coming from Coldplay - Verizon Amphitheater - not really - but i still feel this way - since I the sound is still resonating in my ears after the concert and I have become a major fanatic of this song and my love for coldplay has increased multifold - not only because they sang - ' Billy Jean ' in memoirs of Michael Jackson, but the level a level of consciousness they must have reached to product such wonderful music and to pull millions of people together to listen to them !!

Heres the video:

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Ever heard of this name? Me neither until I saw one of these books titled:
Finding Flow. The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life

I was curious to know what could be inside this book - I was attracted to the title Finding Flow: A very carefully chosen word - Flow is what we expect in life - we expect life to flow, blood to flow, water to flow, air to flow, wind to flow and materials to flow, supply chain to flow -

and my words to flow here so that you can continue to read my blog :) With due respects to the author of this book and the title of this book, I saw the preview of this book at http://books.google.com ( here is the full link -

http://books.google.com/books?id=bzmziLphHMQC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_hpintrst

Thanks to google for creating previews of millions of books online, which helps in getting a sneak peak at many interesting books that are available in the bookstore.

OK, back to my review on the book - If you are going through a stressful time in your life, I would say that it means that you need to undersand life better so that, we don;'t end up feeling depressed / sad / negative for a prolonged time, for trivial isssues sorrunding us.

This is a very good read and I would recommend it to many people who would like to start thinking rationally about day to day stuff! I have not read the book in its entirety myself, but will give an entire section dedicated to this book review!

GOOGLE WEBELEMENTS

My very first Blog post in this new page ! I have created lots of other blogs and never been satisfied to keep it running forever - I have been exploring Google products offlate and one thing which caught my attention was the Google Webelements.

If any of you are wondering what it is. Here is an example. My address is pointing to this location in this map , yeah I did some HTML programming to bring this thing up from Google's page.





Not true: I picked it straight from Google's page - COPY + PASTE if you are not used to it, that means that you are not working in the Information Technology sector! and saved your Keyboard some stress on those keys!

But this is very simple.

Step 1: Goto: www.google.com/webelements
Step 2: Click on what Google element you would like to show in your HTML page and the codes snippet is present there in those pages.
Step 3: Customize those snippets and you get a variety of google products in your homepage.
Step 4: COPY + PASTE the code in your blog or other HTML code!
Keep listening for more interesting posts.

RIP!
