You're sure to hear the title screamed into your ears by the passengers in your car when you're trying to multi-task while driving. I came across
this article in yahoo which really shows how careless people have become not just about their own lives but also that of others.
I would like to quote a few lines of this article that really shows that it's not exactly the attitude of the driver but the pressures of modern-day living.
....."Clearly Americans have much to do and little time to do it, so to cope with that we've become multi-taskers,"..... ...."Imagine if you're going 55 miles an hour down the road and you spill something on your suit and you have a meeting that day -- you're going to be more worried about grabbing a napkin than watching the road," said Guile. "But it just takes a split second to look away and there's an accident."..... ....."I have put on lipstick in the car," Braboy, 55, said with a laugh. "And I might try to look for something in my purse, which I know is dangerous.".....
I just hope this situation improves and people start driving with a sense of responsibility. However, the root cause of this problem is the fast paced lifestyle, which needs to be addressed, if we need a permanent solution.
However, a much better solution of the future would be to completely take the human being out of the driver's seat and transfer control to a computer. A more apt way to say that would be, "Never send a human to do a machine's job!!!"
Got back from a long vacation back home in Chennai. Trying to get around the hangover of leaving home. Guess things will get back to normal after I get to work on Monday. Had a really nice time visiting friends and relatives in India. The sweets and savories should last a few weeks...mmmmmmmh.
Found this to be the cutest pic of the lot. With my dad's cousin's kid - Ria.
For all those who use Voip I just came across a provider called Nonoh (probably a competitor of Jajah). This provider is really interesting because I get to call India for around 3 cents/minute.
Yippeeee. It's been a rather cold summer this year, but things seem to be getting better from today. I guess I'm gonna be sweating it out this Sunday when the temperature crosses the critical 30°C mark. Actually forecast is for 32.
I happened to come across a site for all video files in 'Konkani'. I was so delighted to see the songs and videos from a lot of people especially those of Wilfy (popular Konkani singer). I enjoyed the comedies as well.

It's past mid Jan this year and I still don't see any signs of snow. The local temperatures are hovering around 10°C (50°F), that's way too warm for winter. I really wonder what is happening. Maybe the threats of global warming are beginning to act up. Whatever it is, I miss the snow this winter. I hope that we atleast have a good summer this year. Guess it would be apt to sing ... Winds of Change ... right now!
Squuuuuzzeee me. Got a bad cold now. I've got no idea how I caught it, actually it's been quite a long time (almost a year) since I caught one. However this time it was a bit different. I learned about some natural remedies for a cold. It seems cinnamon is very effective in clearing a cold. To read more about this click here. I've been drinking tea boiled with cinnamon and then mixed with honey and milk for the past 2 days. I already feel much better today.
