For a very long time I have been thinking of assembling a desktop. I never really had a home computer, did not need one. Wherever I read about assembling a desktop it seemed a really easy thing to do….mostly they would say...it is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle together. After doing some thorough research on you tube and various technology blogs I was kind of ready…the moment had come. I will have a home computer and I will assemble it. So it is said so let it be done!!! Well, continuing my research on the net I found this wonderful site of a shop in Bangalore – Binwaryworld in Indiranagar BDA complex . The shop appears pretty workman like, does not impress on looks. But their website is mind blowing and in the shop they get all the stuff you need. Reviewer’s on the net said their prices were the best…I did some prelim checks on eBay and a few other sites and found this to be true.

When was the last time you went to the zoo? Try to remember …you go to the zoo all excited hoping to see a whole lot of wild animals running around. Imagine the disappointment when all you get to see are animals lazing away showing little signs of life …the tigers, lions, crocodiles, pythons…large intimidating animals playing dead all day.

If someone shifts his weight from left bum to right, moves his chin from right palm to left, and pick his nose while still keeping his eyes half closed you pretty

Here's a new resolution --- can't call it a New Year one in the month of May!!! Either way, I have decided going forward I will be majorly regular in my posts on this blog. There is a reason....I finally decided to get a home computer!! And on 12th Apr (remember 13th Apr'10- Wednesday was a holiday) I assembled by own desktop. Yes, I probably would have got a laptop at a similar price, and a desktop for less.....but I would have missed out on the tremendous kick of assembling a computer. In the next post I shall share some photos of this grand activity. You will see me more often these days!! And just to pick up some stray internet traffic to drive up the activity level, I have started this post with a photo of Rakhi Sawant . Yes, it is her!
