Clean House

Is there “junk” in your life? What kind? How do you get rid of it?

There is of all kinds. Metaphorically and literally. Heck, I don’t where to begin with to describe, just that the cleaning process is always on. And well, this being a very dust-dirt prone place, it has to be. I don’t even want to share a photo of em now 😛

A Bend in Time

When you’re giddy with excitement, does time speed up? Slow down? Tell us about the experience of anticipation.

Of course, when something is awaited for, a good chunk if not all of the mine, depending on the anticipation and anticipated, is focused on it, time slows down, In fact at times feels it has stopped. Whereas when the actual moment arrives, it feels it has gone in a flash! When you think about it when it’s over that is.

The language of the future: what will it be like?

With the situation today, I very much fear for the future, if language does survive extinction. If you get what I mean.

Well, I have posted an exhaustive post on similar lines before, for your reading pleasure (and more links to click on):
Dystopia or Decadence? Age of braindance decadence: We didn’t get rid of our problems, we multiplied them.

Guinness World Record for secret santa 2012

WP_20130921_16_57_18_ProHere is me holding my new shiny Guinness World Record certificate.

WP_20130921_17_03_29_ProHere it is in all it’s glory.

Some more pictures in album here. So last month it was finally announced that we participants in redditgifts for secret santa 2012, now hold a new Guinness World Record for 44,805 participants successfully completing the largest online secret santa game!

What is this redditgifts you may ask. See this video below:

Last year in the month of November, I took part in this online event called secret santa, in which people (mostly redditors) sign up for taking part in a worldwide exchange, in which people anonymously (or not, depending on their choice) send gifts to each other. After the final sign-up date, users are randomly matched by the system and each participant is assigned a giftee, thus that user becoming the (secret) santa.

Just think about that for a minute: 44,805 internet strangers from 130 countries put their faith in one another and exchanged gifts. Isn’t that something beautiful? Sharing gifts and happiness all over the world, and a world record just for being nice. 🙂 (and spending a bit of money, in my case thanks to my nice mom 😛 but it’s the thinking and effort that counts)

Going backwards, it’s these small things which make the big picture. And this was my first exchange in which I took part in, and it was so great that it’s still there after almost a year. And earlier today holding that certificate is really a milestone! I’m now officially a Guinness World Record holder! Can’t thank redditgifts enough! 😀

They have awesome exchanges throughout the year, on different themes and occasions, and since then I’ve become a regular enthusiast there. Can’t wait for ss again this year in the coming months, and hopefully we’ll break the record again! You can take part too this time when it arrives and give it a shot! You can find me on redditgifts here and at reddit here. See you around!
