Finally , after days of pondering and battling with my conflicted conscience , i went on buying a domain and webspace !! Its www.abhishekpohankar.com. Loaded wordpress there , so the blog link is www.abhishekpohankar.com/blog. I am planning to build the index page using PHP. Will shift all the blog posts + will definitely be posting at regular intervals. I wont be posting much here , so go here : My New Blog
I read about this in DIGIT magzine and also got a link on the web. An old trick though , but helps….
Here it is
1. Open your device manager.

Ahh , finally , a new post after months !! My x8web blog was shut down due to some stupid reasons and i was left uninformed . x8web sucks , i lost all my posts and nor did i have a backup of that blog. I hate this . This hasnt detered me from blogging though , and i have decided to start blogging again here itself . I am gonna be updating this good old blog of mine and start posting as soon as i finish up my exams.
I landed up at MIT , Aurangabad college . Always wanted to be in Pune but whatever….. College is away from the city and i live in a hostel . Got used to hostel life and learnt lot of things . Met many UP siders and Biharis . I enjoy being in a hostel but miss the presence of this computer in my room , i wish i could sit in my room and blog , mebbe i can do this the next year.
Aurangabad is a nice place , has a moderate student population, a tourist place (Ajanta and Ellora) , developing city , capital of Marathwada region and so on. You can enjoy roaming in the city.
Met many new friends from different regions of India and love to be their company. Just completed my first semester and hope the results come out well.
I have shifted my blog to www.q3abhi.x8web.com , i am no longer gonna be posting here.
One amongst the best available , funnycommercials.in . In search of some funny commercials , i found this one. Nice , simple and clean interface, has got all you need, categorised commercials and Indian commercials as well , this is what i was looking for. The best part of it is, you can subscribe and the admin claims , ” If we do not bring to you funny commercials right to your inbox…please feel free to file a law suit against us”
Check out some links to funny commercials :
Cellphone Commercials (Damn funny)
My broadband connection works blazingly fast , a whopping 1.5 Mbps feasible in my area ( Yes !! a whopping for me atleast). My speeds were miserably down in meanwhile and now me starts downloading stuff from Rapidshare @ a whopping for 3 KBps
. Suddenly , i recalled those dial-up days , with 3-4 KBps downloading speeds ( they were considered to be gr8), and some largest files i had ever downloaded were sized 16 MB , and that too in 5-6 days. Early to bed and early to rise was the moto , get up early and download stuff . No day-times , since the phone cable didnt work in split mode those days . And ya , those days were glorious, coz most of the time was spent either playing outside or studying and not more then an hour was spent listening to songs , quaking and a bit of foruming and social networking.
The day Broadband was introduced , i did go nuts and crazy bout it ( everyone did !! ) , and almost kinda addicted to MMOTPS and all sorts of internet activities. Sitting glued to the screen till late nights , struggle to get up early , insufficient sleeps and etc….the bad cycle continues and then fail to concentrate in studies . Result ?? No gains , and only pains . I wish, i was still a dial – up user, and i want to be – to live a happy and a long lasting life.
Heard this album a few days ago ( thanks to Rapidshare [:P] ), really awesome. Never thought those pop songs were so perfectly metalled by this group . It features some popular Abba songs…..and ya, it does give a real metal feel to these songs. But still , if your a hardcore Abba fan , then this one’s not for you. The old 1970-80 Abba is really amazing , unlike the new rock songs , these songs are unforgettable. They keep lingering in your minds. The Abba fans can really give a try. Even the non Abba fans shall be delighted to hear this music. Can check out Last.fm
