Going to lose my job probably..

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 21 Jul 13

I joined this startup company 1.5 years back as a Java programmer and life was going on well, but the company wasn't making profits as rumour has it and just last month, 7 of my friends were suddenly terminated with 1 month of...

I doubt the tastes of the people on Facebook..

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 21 Jan 13

Seriously.. I mean, when I posted a poem of mine which was lauded as very good by other authors on Writing.com, I just got one like, and one comment, though that one comment was very profuse in its praise, and I thanked the person...

How do I get a girlfriend?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 21 Dec 12

There now, I've gone ahead and made the confession to all you good people. That's the one thing I need in life. I waited through my entire college life, thinking that finally someone will come my way if I'm ready to wait for that...

Are others' lives really more difficult than yours (as they proclaim it to be)?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 4 Oct 11

I have seen this quite often in my life, and I sometimes wonder about it. Whenever I tell of the hardships I am currently facing in my life, (mind you, I don't crib or anything, but just lightly say what the problems I have to...

Just saw the first glimpses of Windows 8 Metro.. quite impressed, I should say.

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 29 Sep 11

Just yesterday, I got this news of Microsoft having spoken about the release in the near future of the next iteration of their Windows OS in the shape of Metro. As I read, it supports touch screen interfaces more than non-touch...

Finally, the end of Silmarillion. What a book!!!

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 29 Sep 11

In my previous discussion, I had told you people that I was going to begin reading the book The Silmarillion by JRR Tolkien, which is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings series. The book really joins the threads, even from the...

Starting on "The Silmarillion" by JRR Tolkien

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 17 Jul 11

Just bought this book over the weekend and started reading it. The very beginning contains a letter by JRR Tolkien to his publisher explaining to him in a gist what the contents of his novels are. That itself proved to be quite an...

Are we all living our lives in one stereotypical way?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 5 Jul 11

I really don't know, but this is one thing which has been troubling me from a long time, and now that I work so far away from home, away from all of my near and dear ones, that this question pops into my mind more than ever. What...

Are romantic novels nowadays becoming a little too stereotypical?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 15 May 11

I don't know what you feel about this, but I certainly do feel this is the case. They're all becoming the same saga where the girl suddenly meets an extremely handsome guy (if it's Twillight, then it's a vampire!!! )...

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 6 May 11

Hi all you splendid people out here.. it's been so long that I'm confident that no one will remember me. I myself was surprised to see my responses and started discussions having dates that say 4 years back. Time does move...

Have you Read the Artemis Fowl series?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 17 Sep 09

This is another stupendous series of books written by Eoin Colfer. It portrays the life of an adolescent criminal genius by the name of Artemis Fowl the second, and how he manages to unearth the secret underground domain of the...

I Know you People Hate me....

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 16 Sep 09

....which is why I've got so many negative points and my reputation slid down drastically. Even my star has changed from a 10 to a 9, such a steep drop has it been. 5 points, to be exact. I'm not asking anyone to explain to me the...

Addictions are Useless

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 11 Sep 09

I really can't see why people get addicted to all sorts of harmful things. It's sort of like how flies are attracted to the fire. The people know that taking drugs, smoking, excess alcohol consumption will kill them faster and in...

Really Alone, Virtually Alone...

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 11 Sep 09

I'm growing a litte frustrated these days. You know, with my college days over, I'm stuck inside my house with nothing but the TV and computer to give me company. I'm waiting for my joining next year. My college friends don't keep...

What's your Opinion on Windows Transformation Packs?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 5 Sep 09

Of late, I'm finding myself more irresistibly drawn to using these applications, which allows me to transform the look and feel of my desktop to a newer version of Windows, like Vista or Windows 7. I also installed a program...

Ultra Mobile PC (UMPC, for short)

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 2 Sep 09

I was at an electronics mall yesterday and saw some of these sleek new babies. They were AWESOME and I was just itching to buy one of them, only that I don't have enough money (in fact, no money at all, since I'm still waiting for...

Do you like Summer, even if you're from a Tropical Country?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 30 Aug 09

Well, that's my case, at least. India is a tropical country. And summers are harsh here, not mellow and beautiful like the temperate lands. If I may say so, 99% of the people here hate the summer months and don't actually look...

Are the myLot Reputation Rating and the Star Rating Unrelated?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 29 Aug 08

I just saw at least two other users here who have the same myLot reputation as mine, that is, 95/100, but whose star is a blue 10, whereas I'm still stuck on a 9, as you can see. So my question is: how do the star ratings...

Do you Always go for the Popular Brands when it Comes to Mobile Phones?

abhi_destar @abhi_destar (764) • India 24 Aug 08

I here have bought a Fly mobile phone. I've heard that the company originated in Britain but has just recently entered our markets. It has given me many features for an astonishingly low price. I had gone through all the popular...
