It’s been a fabulous experience 5 (by otherthings)and I thank all my readers for the support you give me to continue sharing my thoughts and experiences.  A good time to dig in and see some of the best happenings at Kapil’s Korner.

I think one of the most exciting thing I wrote was the Letter to Farhan after viewing the movie ROCK ON! – it was meant to be a movie review but I sent the link to his production office and I was super thrilled when Farhan wrote back to me.

My attempt to give out some gyaan:

My photography has picked up some momentum and I have been an active member with the Mumbai Weekend Shoot group (see my photos from the shoots). I shot the Ganesh Visarjan and have been giving the photo blog fortnightly updates. 

Trying to give some shape to some random thoughts I started writing the Monday Mumble and 5 things I learnt series. Hopefully, you should see more of these in the coming months.

Social media played a very active role in the Mumbai attacks and I put forward my observations – Mumbai Terror Attacks.

Thanks to Chetan’s post I hit upon Twitter which as he states is a micro blog platform. And so it is. Once you sign-up at Twitter you can send in messages which basically get published on the net in a jiffy. Nothing fancy – take a look at What I am doing currently?

There are two ways to post a message. Send a message via IM or use SMS. Although I have not been able to configure the SMS settings for the UK number. I would love to connect with anybody who has been able to send in messages from India?

If this sounds fun, pick up the RSS feed for the page here or you can even bookmark my twitter page to see what I am doing.

But twitter has a few problems – I could not send the SMS to the UK number. Also I experienced quite a slow responding website.

Update: If you got hooked to twitter here is a neat tool to have for easy access to twitter. It requires .Net setup on your machine, so I prefer using Google Talk to keep me connected to twitter.

If you have a story to tell, tell it. Get online and be courageous. Ernest Hemingway is quoted as saying that “there is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed”.
You never know who may need to hear it.
Read full article. Such thoughts keep me blogging no matter who is reading it. So if you blog, keep writing.
