If a change is resisted...you might be losing that much needed experience called Life !

I must say that its been some time since I blogged...Been on the run with lots of other things on my mind...And with that came changes that taught me some important lessons in my life, mostly regarding my interaction and relationship with people.



People generally are known to resist changes. Most often you get bored of the same old routine in your life..you look out to people around you and start to think.." Hey now thats fun.." .But because even the very thought of change, gets you a cold feet almost instantly, you resist it.


I admit that I myself was a person who loved to stick to things which went mostly by majority opinion. Never did I stop to think whether I felt differently about some things that happened around me...


One person studying whose personality taught me to be myself, and in being so, think independently, also taught me to accept changes. He was one of my closest pals from the day we met, to the day fate parted us. Hats off to you man for all that you taught me, mostly through just being with you for the most part of your life.

A change, conscious or not, is a different feeling. It is very much analogous to changing the profile on your mobiles ;-)...You step out of the "you" you were and start to look at things little differently. Initially its like you are in a new place where you don t know anyone...but sooner you are ready to accept the new change in your life, the sooner you adjust.

One thing that i learned from a change is how fresh we feel, when we get out of own "old" skin and look at it in a way others see it. Sometimes, you will find things that you might want to change in yourself.

I have a reputation of writing long blog entries which go abstract as it thickens !!

I just wanted to let all of you know how good I felt when I started to accept changes in my life, and began to take every moment of my life as a lesson teaching me something trivial or the other.

Hang around for more, soon..till then

Peace,

Insure today and you wont regret later !

Everyone who drives a vehicle needs to have insurance. Most of the countries require the car drivers to have some insurance or the other.

Finding good insurance companies to ensure your car against theft, accident, etc has become a very tedious task as there are a lot of companies offering insurance. These days, the Internet is helping customers by having auto insurance companies put up their websites and the customers are just a click away from getting their vehicle insured sitting at home or office.

Advantage Auto Quotes, is one such company that sells all types of car insurance including liability insurance, commercial policies, student policies, bad record, good record. Moreover, you can do it online now at Insurance Quotes Online

Earlier people were advised not to buy sports cars or such other vehicles driving which could potentially increase the number of accidents and the damage. This was because, most insurance companies had a policy that did not cover the insurance of such vehicles. But Advantage Auto Quotes have gone a step further in this aspect by providing Coverage For Sports Car.

Megapixels Myth !

Nowadays, we hear a lot about digital camera manufacturers increasing the megapixels of their cameras to lure the public into believing that a higher megapixel camera is better than a lower megapixel one.

Well, too few megapixels compromise the quality of a photograph, but too many is a waste of money !

The number of megapixels largely determines the maximum print size up to which your image can be taken without loss in quality.As the megapixels in a camera increase, the price of the camera also goes up.

Using a 2 or less megapixel camera for instance, you can print photos that are quite good in quality for web based uses, for emails etc....The size required to store these are also pretty less.

Using a 3 megapixel camera, one can easily print stunning 4x6 images and lovely 5x7s . Some cameras of the same megapixels can even print decent 6x9 images.

I myself use a Sony Cybershot 3.2 Megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom.

I hardly take photos in 3.2 megapixels, because when you need to share them with your friends and family via photo sharing applications like Flickr and Picasa, their sites themselves restrict the sizes of each photo to less than 500KB. And a 3.2 megapixel photo takes around 1.5MB(around 1536 KB) of size !

People are crazy about going for cameras with more megapixels, but more isn't always better.
So, the number of megapixels you need to go for depends on mainly 2 things-
1)How big an image you need to print ?
2) What your budget is ?

This I say so because, there are hardly any improvements in other features of the same company's camera with different megapixels. Higher megapixels also means larger image sizes, which in turn means more expensive memory cards and more storage space required on your hard drive.
