I don't like plans and words that change often. I don't like myself if I do anything like that.

I had the mood so thought of writing again today. Usually it so happens that I have to push myself to write and rarely I open blogger and start typing with no effort but with enthusiasm. But now, I don't know what to write.

Even at 5:30 pm I didn't know I had to attend a function in the evening. Two of my father's cousins were blessed with a girl and a boy so they wanted to treat everybody with dinner! It was a grand party at a function hall on the ring-road. After a long time I got to meet 2 of my cousins I couldn't meet even in Ied. We had to exchange a few things - respective possessions we had kept for quiet some time now. I had to return a novel and the analog controller of Playstation.

I kept my computer open from 11:45 am to 5:30 pm today. I was online but invisible for most of the time. I saw a few people coming online and leaving. I listened to a lot of music, read a few things, and wrote a little. I didn.t know how time passed by. I even created a banner for this blog. It was a tiring task.

For the banner I first had to select pictures in Picasa and create collage for them. I did a lot of experimenting with this as the order of the pics was not how I wanted it to be. Somehow after a lot of shuffling I made 3 such collages! Now I had to think how to get them appear in a single pic as a banner - wide but short in length. I thought of using ms-paint directly but that wasn't feasible. I even considered installing Adobe Photoshop. That seemed to be a bad option. I have many other photo editing softwares but I was not in a mood to install anything and do more trials with new softwares. I opened the 3 collages in 3 different windows, resized the pics and cascaded the windows in such a way that they are all aligned in a single line like a single wide picture. I took a snap of this using 'prt scr' key and used ms-paint to edit the resultant picture. Before that I had to remove the useless pats in ms-picture manager. A look at the banner will show that it is a combination of 3 parts.

I worked on the pic till I was satisfied. I first considered hosting it on any of my IDs on google pages but I did it on photobucket.com as it help in getting a direct html tag.I used the html code and tried it into the template code of my blog. It took me 30 minutes to put it into the right place and get what I had desired to see my blog as. I learnt a lot during all this process. If I have to anything of that kind now, it will hardly take any time. Though this barely seems to be something big, I am glad I did it. It is a small thing. But I did it myself and any person, even an expert, won't understand at once how I did it. May be he can do it using some other way, or using some other software. I did it using a photo management software - Picasa and the snapshot feature of windows. It was time consuming as I was doing it for the first time.

After a long time I had a talk on phone with my cousin who lives in Gulbarga. It was naughty talk actually. I asked him to come here at the earliest but he won't be here before December when his sister is getting married. My cousin from Kyrgyzstan is also expected to come here. We will be going to Guntur to attend the reception.

My friends had asked me to come to the college on Monday at 9:30 am. Even today when a friend came to meet me at home, he said we will be meeting in the college again tomorrow. But just sometime back I got some offliners from another friend informing about 2 friends who won't be coming. He has probably spoken to them so I trust him with that. But alongside he said that 2 more won't come. I am sure he is just guessing that. He does that usually... too often. In any case I will call the friend who came to my house today and ask him to come. Its enough for me that at least one person is there with me. I don't want to stay home all alone. I don't like plans and words that change often. I don't like myself if I do anything like that.
