Muffins, Photo-editing sites, Web Services and so on
Ten years ago I didn't know such a thing as muffin existed. I had come across a different type of muffin, which was called Ragamuffin on the jacket of an Enid Blyton book. But that was about it.counter free hit unique web

Then one fine morning, muffin was discovered as a cure to fruits. Fruits, by nature gooey and slimey, could be easily hidden inside folds of butter, flour, sugar and cream and passed off as delectable non-fruits. In a world where fruit flies like a banana and time flies like an arrow the only way to keep fruit flies away and finish off bananas before they darken their faces is to make muffins with them. Fruits during the fag end of stay in my fridge(Day 4 or Day 5) often end up in muffins, like the blueberries in the photo below.



Talking of photos, it's been ages since I explored photobucket or flickr. Was pleasantly surprised to see the presence of lot of editing features. Looks like these sites have released the ordinary user off the grips of copyrighted pricey image-editing software. Fun to play around with(as you can see I went overboard with these two) and if the final destination of your photos is the web, photobucket or flickr now have pretty much all the editing power you need. They say it is all about web services and the advent of Web 3.0?!!







Since everyone is offering some kind of web service as an anti-dote to their other ills, I hope you'd overlook this mish-mash post after taking the Quick n Painless Enneagram test. It's supposedly scarily accurate about yourself, ofcourse you could always use a mirror for the same results. But go ahead, click the link, it is interesting and only two questions lie between you and the revelation!

Link: The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test written by felk


you chose BZ - your Enneagram type is FIVE (aka "The Thinker").
"I need to understand the world"
Observers have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical,and insightful.

How to Get Along with Me
  • Be independent, not clingy.

  • Speak in a straightforward and brief manner.

  • I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.

  • Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that
    I am feeling uncomfortable.

  • Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your
    sincerity.

  • If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because
    it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.

  • don't come on like a bulldozer.

  • Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music,
    overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy.


What I Like About Being a FIVE
  • standing back and viewing life objectively

  • coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects

  • my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure

  • not being caught up in material possessions and status

  • being calm in a crisis


what Wikipedia says about your type...

I haven't yet, but I'm been meaning to. Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably should.

looks like there is no stopping your speeding now, you can always keep a copy of that court verdict in your glove box for the next time some traffic cops try to act smart with you :)

The photo sure did put my saliva glands to over-drive mode, that I had to run to the nearest pastry shop to attain some sanity. Grr.. that in a time I am trying to shed some kilos.
