Cycle Keys - Found them!!

My frantic search yesterday night bought me success.
The keys were in one of my shorts! They fell down into the drum of our washing machine.
Our bai found it when she was picking out clothes from the washing machine !!!

Phew!! I didn't have to vreak the lock after all.

Lost my bi-cycle keys!

If you've been following my earlier posts you must be aware that I am now an avid cycler. I do most of the houseold chores on cycle.

Recently, I've lost my cycle keys and I've tried to hunt around the entire house with vain :-( . Its tyres have lost all the air and I'm suspecting a puncture. If I don't get the keys by this weekend I will need to break open the lock by banging it with a stone !! I hope I don't break any other parts of that thing.

Sad, but true.

SoonR - A neat startup

www.SoonR.com is a startup aimed at providing a service wherein you can browse your desktop computer from your very own mobile phone.

I got curious and wanted to know how it works. The plan is simple and neat. I like their technology.

You create an account with www.SoonR.com. On your desktop PC you need to install a SoonR agent software. The desktop needs to have internet connectivity.

On the end user side , all you do is point your mobile phone browser to www.soonr.com, enter your SoonR accounts user name and passwd and browse your desktop!!

If you want to share some files with your friends (mobile or PC) you can do so too!!

Continuing to save our environment

By this time I've become paranoid to make an effort to save the environment. I've also taken some steps for it. No. I am not going to give you theory. This is me, who leads with practise ;-)

1) I've started keeping a jute bag in the dicky of my car. Whenever we buy anything on the way, I always avoid taking plastic bags. I make use of my jute bag.

Well, let me admit I haven't been 100% successful in this endaveour of mine. But I've got 70% hit rate. Not too bad for a starter I think.

2) I end up doing a lot of houseold chores during Saturday and Sunday. Earlier I used to do it by travelling on my car or my sis's scooter. I now use my bi-cycle. And let me tell you I have a 100% hit rate on this one.

Another blessing in disguise of (2) is my petrol costs have gone down from Rupees 2000 a month to 1600 Rupees.

I will make it a point to update every effort I take to this blog. Maybe, I will end up inspiring someone. :-)
