Titanic song remake for Orkut~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Every time in my orkut
I see you. I scrap you.
That is how I know yougo on...

Far across the Scrap Book
And testimonials between us
You have come to show you. Go on..

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the friends list does go on
Once more you logged on
And you're here in my scrap book
And my scrap book will go on and on

Testimonials can touch us one time
And last for a lifetime
And never let go till we're friends

Love was when I saw your friends list
One true time I held on her 'about me',
In my life I'll surely view her/his profile

Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the friends list does go on
There is some amazing profile that will not
go away....

You're here, there's so much to fear,
And I know that my friend will know I checked her/him out

We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my friends list
And my friends list will go on and on...

Approaches to design

A design approach is a general philosophy that may or may not include a guide for specific methods. Some are to guide the overall goal of the design. Other approaches are to guide the tendencies of the designer. A combination of approaches may be used if they don't conflict.
Some popular approaches include:

User centered design, which focuses on the needs, wants, and limitations of the end user of the designed artifact
Use-centered design, which focuses on how it will be used with less emphasis on the user than user-centered design
KISS principle, (Keep it Simple, Stupid), which strives to eliminate unnecessary complications
There is more than one way to do it (TMTOWTDI), a philosophy to allow multiple methods of doing the same thing
Murphy's Law (Everything that can go wrong will, so plan for it beforehand)

My first Blog

It’s with great pleasure that I posted my 1st blog, because I enter the game way after many others. Because others have been practicing and posting their writing on a daily — or somewhat daily — basis for 24/7 in 365 days. The size on some of their blogs makes me feel like I’m sitting down idle as other do millions of things at a very short perood of time. I’ve delayed and procrastinated the start of a blog mostly because I’ve wondered if I really have enough thoughts that pass through my head and are worth writing down. Or if write would actually give some merit to anyone in this world. simply writing something and posting usesless craps will waste few bytes of server space somewhere in world.

Somehow I convinced myself and started my 1st posting now...

“yes” - even i'm checking myself is this real??? or am i DREAMING.

The fact that you’re reading this Blog only because of Krishna shasankar and the "BIG" Aditya sanyal were my motivators: So here’s to the start of something new(may be old). The thoughts, visuals, findings, and news here will mostly be related to design and my personal experience as a designer and freelancer. But I’m sure I’ll also refer other people, places, and ideas that influence who I am and how I think and work smartly.

I beleive most of our thinkings were thoughts of someone before that we might not know.

This blog of thoughts is mostly for my own record, but if you’re along for the ride, you are always welcome.
