Twitter has redesigned it’s homepage and My God! It’s beautiful. I won’t say that the old design wasn’t any good but yes it was loosing it’s charm somehow. But i guess this new homepage is lot more useful and attractive. Apart from the design work, what i like the most is the “latest trending topics” feature that you will only find if you’re logged in to your account on twitter.

Almost a month back, Twitter changed the follower and following page from basic style list to AJAX based list which is much more easier to use and good looking. Twitter has definitely grown into something big than what everyone expected. As for me, i always prefer Twitter over Orkut or Facebook, however i still cannot find my friends on Twitter as they are still hooked up to other old social networks. But i guess an year down the line, with more twitter awareness, my friends in India will start using it!

Twitter homepage and signing in process is noticeably very very fast now, compared to old design! I’m loving it!

Oh! Here’s the old design of homepage and the new much improved design:

Of course you can checkout the new design in action yourself by visiting Twitter.com. Make sure you’re not signed in at that moment!

72 Days and counting?

It’s been 72 days since i last made an update to my blog. I realized that it was high time to stop the count. I guess, the last few (unapproved) comments, made me change my mind and come back to my blog to start blogging all over again. Last few comments being questions like “Are you alive?” “Is it a shutdown?” “Are you selling this site?“….etc etc. To answer a few, Yes i am alive and kickin. In fact i have never been in a better health since last three or four years. So thanks for asking! And God no! I am not selling this site! Who in the world can buy a personal blog? Where the hell do you come up with such questions anyways? LOL

A lot happened in my life since i last made a post. Some of which i should mention, probably in the up coming updates on this website. By the way, i turned 27 this July 11th. I did celebrate my birthday in style. Had lunch with my love of my life, Simran. Followed by dinner with my family. And the following next day had dinner party with my friends. So yes, it was a great birthday this year.

I have watched lot of movies as well. If you are a movie maniac kid just the way i am, you’ll be amazed to read the list of movies that i have watched this summer. I really cannot name all of the movies that i have seen but i think total should come close to 35 movies in all, in last 70 days. That makes it a movie in two days. Not bad, haan! Okay, so just to name a few (specially the ones i super-liked) movies that i watched this summer : Angels n Demons, City of God, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fast & Furious 4, Kambakht Ishq (Hindi), Madagascar – Escape To Africa, Night At The Museum – Battle of the Smithsonian, New York (Hindi), Notorious, Paying Guest (Hindi), Pink Panther 2, Quantum of Solace, Terminator Salvation, The Reader and many many more. I guess the best of these all were “City of God“, a 2002 movie which i guess is a must watch movie for everyone. I think it’s a little on the 18+ mature audience side as the movie has lot of bloodshed and shocking violence. Another movie is the John Abraham starrer “New York“. I think it was great movie and it perfectly shows how Muslims were treated back in USA, after the 9/11 incident.  The brutality and torture to Muslim communities in America surely brought tears to eyes and of course John Araham did a fine job in the movie. Another must watch movie!

Moving on from entertainment to my health stuff. Well, i have been a little health conscious this time around. I am exercising enough to get back into shape. Hopefully the results will be seen very very soon, i hope. I do wish to shed some 10 kilos by two months! God willingly, it should be an easy task!

As for my spondylitis problem, i guess it’s here to stay. It’ll stay as long as i do not lose some weight and get my body weight in to right proprtions. After that i guess only time will tell if i can really get rid of spondylitis. Even now, as i am writing this post, i really feel heat in my neck and pain in the spine.

I have lot more to say, i even bought some new gadgets in last few days. I’ll blog about them pretty soon! Till then, i’ll have to say goodbye and take care!
