Home. Sweet Home. I am Back Home.

Two days. 48 Hours of solitude. Of missing my family Of working in an unknown city, managing an unconference alone comes to an end. The pleasure, the misery, the elation, the pain, everything. Everything.

This was my maiden trip without my family. My first Flying experience. I will document everything in this series of posts. I have a few ready and a few more to come. But this time I shall document my travelling experience completely.

But I am tired. I rested a lot. I prefer trains to flying. The experience is whoasome but yet, in a way, unfullfilling. But more of it more.

Food and sleep. Rest.

Soon, I shall bother you all with my recollections and my experiences. Reflections.

Adios. Have A Great Day/Night.

In this series of posts I’ll share my experiences with setting up my blog using Wordpress and things to keep in mind while blogging with Wordpress.

Step 1: Installing Wordpress
There are two ways to install Wordpress: either you download it from Wordpress.org and manually upload it on your domain or you use any software installer provided by your domain manager such as Fantastico or a similar solution.

Step 2: Configuring Wordpress
This is the most time consuming process, since everythign you do after installing wordpress is included here. People generally prefer to do some configurations first, but I prefer to finsih all uploading work first and configurations later.

Step 2.1: Installing Plugins
Plugins add extra features to your basic wordpress blog and render it into a powerful publishing tool. Wordpress.org Plugins Directory has an huge list of very useful wordpress plugins.

I am using the following Plugins:

• Ajax Comment Posting: Posts comments and validates the comment form using Ajax By regua.
• Akismet: Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. By Matt Mullenweg.

• WP Post Columns: Allows you to easily create columns within your posts for a magazine / newspaper style layout. By Sam Burdge.

We download these from the Wordpress.org Plugins Directory and upload them in the /wp-content/plugins folder in your Wordpress install. Next up, we will be configuring these plugins to suit our use.

Wiping out all dirt and extra baggage… its a leaner cleaner me from this moment onwards.. if not now, then when? I dnt want to repeat all my life u knw… in the meanwhile, a song for you…

MLTR – Strange Foreign Beauty

Strange foreign beauty
I’ll never know what’s in your heart
Does anyone know how it feels to hold you
Does anyone know the secret of your mind

Strange foreign beauty
I’ll never come to share your world
Does anyone know how it feels to live with you
Does anyone know the secret of your life

Strange foreign beauty
You’ll never know what I felt for you
Sometimes it feels like a million chances
Are slipping away disappearing in the air

(you’ll) never know what I felt for you
You were always on my mind
(I’ll) never know how it feels to hold you
How it feels to be with you

Another…

MLTR – Whatever It May

You made me crawl feeling so small
Creeping like shapes along the walls

Life fades to gray
Why must I pay
for giving my heart away

But whatever it may take
However my heart breaks
I’ll keep singing in the rain
’till your back again

You left a hole deep in my soul
leaving my world so cold

But standing eye to eye
I still wonder why
we had to say goodbye

And whatever it may take
However my heart breakes
I’ll keep singing in the rain
’till your back again
and whoever that changed your mind
whoever that makes you blind
I’ll keep waiting here for you

All I ventured but nothing gained
I’m walking through the rain
Trying to keep a fading flame alive

Help!
Help me
Baby I’m lonely oh so lonely

Will I ever feel your love again
Am I really losing you my friend
Your absent talking your missing light
Makes me lonely on a Saturday night

Both are must hear songs… i likes it :)
