2006: What it taught me

There are tons of things that 2006 taught me. Some are from my perspective and some from the perspective of my daughter.

1. Sweater threads are the most delicious food items ever created.
2. Dad and Mom (me and my wife) are the two best singers in this world.
3. Any nonsense that comes out of dad's mouth (goobly-goobly-gaagaagaa) is extremely funny.
4. Crib-mobile and portable swings are the biggest inventions ever
5. Car seat and seat belts are on the other side of the spectrum.
6. Amazon.com is the best place to buy diapers, exceed the $25 min for free shipping and they are delivered to your doorstep.
7. Electronics is not the section where I spend most my time at while shopping alone anymore.
8. The only time I can watch South Park is if I am alone in the TV room AND using headphones (and I cannot link it from my blog :) )

There are many others and I will write those when I remember them.

Here are some not related to babies but as a result of watching some Indian channels.

1. Zee tv serials give me motion sickness with their zoom-on-face-from-6 angles in 3 second tactics.

2. Whenever Priyanka Chopra dances in a song there are three guys near the camera who are holding powerful portable fans to blow her hair.

3. The gap between nice Indian movies and crap-masala movies is widening every month. Movies like "Dor" prove that Indian cinema has a bright future, some movies like GolMaal (new) neutralize that thought.

4. Do this.
Open Paint. (Start->Run->MSPaint).
Click on that curve button.
Hold Shift and draw a vertical line.
Click on the left side of the line about 1/3 of its height from the top.
Click on the right side of the line about 1/3rd of its height from the bottom.

This is how Aishwarya Rai's dance movements are choreographed, especially the one where she is dancing near a waterfall and is shown on B4UMusic ($2.99/month) after every 12 min.


Enough nonsense for the day. I will be back with more.
