How do you keep track of comments ?

For the people, who read a number of blogs, how exactly you keep track of comments you post and then their replies ? I find it really difficult to do job. It is kind of a manual stuff for me. I don’t see Subscribing to comments as a really good option as it would send mail after each and every comment on the post. Any better suggestions ?

For the first time ;)

I had to get the third party transfer option enabled in my HDFC bank account and that needs you to fill a form and submit it to some branch. So I went to HDFC bank nearby and asked for the form. For the first time in my life probably, it was a really simple form. Just 3-4 required fields and that is it. Though there was one little thing that can be pointed out. They asked for customer ID which is not as common thing as account number. But the lady at the counter asked me to write account number only. So problem solved. It was really a rare example of good experience of “going to a bank”ย  . Wish all the bank related things were that simple ๐Ÿ™ .

Cheers !!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

…but still

I go to Gurudwara, once in 2-3 months. That means I am not really a religious person. Period ! But from what I see around, I think people are way better. They go to Temple/Gurudwara/Mosque daily and some even twice in a day. But what leaves me wondering is the other side ofย  the coin. That is their behaviour in their lives. They are fully dedicated to these religious practices but when it comes to applying the teachings in their daily lives; NO…it is nowhere to be seen. And often I put this very same question to everyone who talks about this religious commitment thing and the answer is …but still…he does go to Gurdwara/Temple daily. I mean one doesn’t go for the sake of going. It is for your betterment, to learn to be good and do good. If you aren’t ready to follow what religion teaches then what is the use of going ? Are you trying to fool God ?

milne Mehdi Hasan se…

Gulzar saab’s poetry for Mehdi Hasan for Aman ki Asha.

aankhon ko visa nahi lagta
sapnon ki sarhad hoti nahi
band aakhon se roz main sarhad paar chala jaata hoon
milne Mehdi Hasan se
sunta hoon unki avaaz ko chot lagi hai
ab kehte hain
sookh gaye hain phool kitabon mein
yaar Faraz bhi bichad gaye hain
shayad milein woh khawabon mein
band aakhon se aksar sarhad paar chala jata hoon
milne Mehdi Hasan se…
aankhon ko visa nahi lagta
sapnon ki sarhad koi nahi…
