Reach out... say hello.


Language is such a beautiful thing!

1984 (George Orwell) was a revealing book to me. Its been so long since I've read it and I keep seeing so many things around me that represent that suppression of idea. One of the most striking to me is language. I don't speak too many languages, but English is as good an example as any. SMS has required that this shrink to some extent. Efficiency is the call of the generation and everything to prevent loss of precious time.

But interestingly, there is a movement that strives on; its ages old but it cant really die - slang. Oh glorious slang. Slang has forever existed to prove that it really doesn't matter what you say so long as your message is conveyed to the listener: its perfectly alright! Isn't that good shit. Doesn't it beat the crap outta the chicken. Being able to rock up, shout a round of drinks and camboosle your way through the day, simply means that every word can have infinite meaning. Even made up ones. In person ofcourse body-language makes this even more so!

So say hi, talk to people, stop being rigorous and clinical, talk a walk and chat when you're bored. Make life interesting.

Wow, this turned into a speech! Damn.

The All new...

So... finally. After being on a temporary site for a while, we've gone live. - if you're not reading this off there already - www.therandomlines.com
This is real exciting, cause this site takes quite a bit of the dream and makes it happen...
This site is the most dynamic we've had so far. This blog for instance, comes straight off blogger (thank you google). Which makes it really easy to add to and update. Thats great fun.
Also, I've delved a good amount into php and xml with flash so the work section is also drag and drop updatable. This feels good.

Its been 4 months is sunny australia, and its already hit 3 degrees. But all said and done, I really cant think of a negative thing to say at all. I love this city. I love Bangalore as well. And Goa.
But from the moment I walked in here, the city just seems welcoming. Free expression finds its way everywhere and everybody's just out to have a good time.

I've hooked up with Bliss Media. Great company. Which gives me something to do with my time - productively :D
And it helped me look into server-side scripting, which is really what random lines web was waiting for.

There's a lot that random lines can be. And it will, soon, slowly, but it will.

Cheers
