Criticisms...for TheStentorian.com

After all the 'good job' 'awesome work' 'brilliant' etc. etc. I have been flooded with a lot of criticisms for my magazine. I'm totally happy because i realized that i have been missing a lot of stuff out. 

The Open Chennai Coffee Club posts started it all. they pointed it awesome glitches in my idea and my implementation. I like it. 

Some of the problems lists were: in a nutshell.

1. My plugin is images based and therefore Google Search Engine will not care a damn for it. So true!! 

2. Why do i have a booklike feature..when it is an online magazine? It makes it difficult for people to read. 

Maybe true..but then what will the real difference..between other blogs and my magazine be? So many of my friends are serious bloggers but their articles does not hit the crowd well. Of course you can give me examples of  online magazines that way. But the whole point is, I'm planning to start printing the magazine soon.Of course, it is going to be super duper expensive. But if i get the right team, which i already do and if i get good funds ( which i'm not even close at ) then it would be worth it. That is an idea in my head, but far fetched. 

3. Another thing they say is .. that the contents are not sharable. But that is my mission, simply because the magazine has not yet been registered.

Aishwarrya .. one of The Stentorian writers, had this friend called.. 'Ibrahim', apparently a director of 'transveto' a web development/designing company. He had given a complete summarization of the 'negative' comments and fortunate suggestions about the Stentorian to her. That was actually impressive. He pointed out on various stuff, that surely needs to be worked on. 

Some of them are:

1. the SOE.. bring it html/text based.

2. The subscriber feed part.

3. The advertisements

4. The font style issues.

5. Real estate ads.

6. Customized comments

7. and a few more.

That's a set of valuable comments, should start looking into it soon.

Of course, certain things he mentioned will surely take a lot of time. Now i need to really delve deep into Web Designing. Not so well versed at it.

Back from Bangalore..a weekend trip.

so..went to Bangalore to take up my GRE computer science exam..you are right, i'm not doing my PHd next year, still a friend recommended I write it..so i took it up. frankly, i didn't spend even an hour for the preparation.
So it didn't turn out to be really good..but i enjoyed the three hours glued to the question paper..skipping tuff math questions..and answering the other computer science related questions..worse part was .. it was negative marking. anyway, chuck that. that night i watched this movie..called, 'The social Network' based on a book.. about Mark Zuckerberg..The only thing that came up to my mind as soon i finished the movie was.. 'Inspiring'.
put it on ny fb..n found out that ..not many found it as brilliant as i did.. why? no idea.
but one thing for sure.. that night, after the movie i felt totally under achieved..
I'm fuckin 23 years old.. and can i think of something that i can call an 'achievement'. sadly no!
it was eating my head that night. i have done a lot of things, few people around me haven't. But still .. i don't call it an achievement. why am i so unsatisfied with the myself? Contentment..is something that i have not felt, about anything. where am i ? what am i born to do in this world ? and what am i doing ? NO IDEA!
anyway, at the moment all that i want to do is.. get deep into computer science and learn all that i missed learning as an under graduation student.
Today is sunday, which means it was last night I watched the movie. This morning I went to ISKCON.. the very famous Lord Krishna Temple, all around the world. I loved it, and it was not my first time. I entered..there was Narasimhan Sanadhi .. then there was a Lord Venkateshwar ( Venky ) sanadhi.
I had forgotten my glasses, i borrowed my mum's spare and looked into the idol of Lord Venky. My mind was flashed, totally. It's been a long time since I prayed to God for something.. so i was hoping i would start again. But damn, i just got lost into him.. I couldn't pray..it was more like a submission. stood there looking into him..for a very longtime. It was nice. i felt nice totally.
I felt like there was nobody around me..it was just me and God..i was on the sea..floating and the lord was looking into me from the sky. hehe. never felt that way before. Now and then I was sinking..and hands from the underneath kept bring me outside...and after sometime I could just survive in the water. WOW.
It was a lovely time.
got back home..after watching 'Bolt' and 'How to lose a guy in 10 days?'. lolz. the latter movie.. ended up..in not being able to dump him. so.. nobody can? hehe. wish i could find out. but i surely wouldn't risk..the hearts.

Love!

Into my life you entered one day,

Felt as if I was waiting for you in waylay.

We took it as slow as it could,

No wonder now if feels so good.

The very thought of you brings in me a smile,

However far you are, how many ever mile.

Have I wasted all my years,

Not having you as one of my peers?

Or should I just be happy that you are with me now.

Sweeping me off my feet and slipping me into your love.

You make my everyday beautiful waking me up from sleep,

I wake up to you though my slumber’s pretty deep.

I face every scene of my life with you,

I can’t imagine what without you I would do.

Your thoughts waft through my head in my day’s zephyr,

And fill up my senses with love’s fire.

I’m helplessly weltering in this unwonted scene,

Unable to elude nor take a forward lean.

It is conspicuous that this I can’t unclasp,

If I did I would for air direly gasp.

I’m unsure if this is eternal or transient,

I know we would yoke if that way it is meant.

This uncertainty is killing but more than that it’s thrilling.

Life is a wine, I’d prefer sipping to swilling.

Nevertheless I can’t deny my feel of joy so deep,

Especially when you every night religiously put me to sleep.

A trip which almost blew me away.. n i ended up writing this.

The look into your eyes,

Into those deep brown eyes,

Still stands afresh in my mind,

It can’t be a mistake,No more lies.

A hundred times that scene I want to rewind.

I lost myself that one second,

Followed the way your love beckoned,

I felt a feeling take a deep dive,

That kicked me from the inside to revive.

A silver lining layered my hazel eye,

To experience this cry again I could die.

You touched my hand it tight,

That one moment everything felt so right.

It was like a light embrace, everything in a perfect pace,

I’m so lost in your gaze,

Love is such a perplexed maze.

To part ways, though for a few days,

Felt so void and a soothing pain,

But a new hope lit my face,

The thought that you’re gonna hold me again.
