I will blog mostly during the day, and I will not think of you the reader when I blog, so that my thoughts are free-flowing and am concentrating my train of thought and not on what you, you, you or you will think. I don’t want to hyperlink the ‘you’ right now as its drawing closer to midnight. See you tomorrow at www.PlanetPranav.com … do update your feeds.

Remember I mentioned fireworks sometime back, the above is what eventually happened. Some crazy shots, some are ordinary.

Every year this happens. Bombay trains in 2006, Hyderabad in 2007 and now its Bangalore this year. Makes you stop what you are doing and ask questions and you realize they are no damn answers to these random events that can thrash the peace.

I came across this beautiful music video. I remember back in college I would listen to this song repeatedly. If you pay attention to the lyrics you would somehow connect with the song for sure.

Black - Pearl jam

Hey…oooh…
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…

I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll ever be…yeah…

Uh huh…uh huh…ooh…
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star
In somebody else’s sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine

YouTube - Evil Music Video - Resurrecting the Dead. I must admire the editing considering Sony Cybershot and Windows Movie Maker were the only tools used. All Hyderabadi Googlers can you tell who dunnit?

This just highlights the limitations of the best movie resource on the internet. Have all the people who gave this movie 10 points actually watched the other movies to say that this movie ranks better than the others?

To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Curtises that I despise in me
Take a ride, take a shot now

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Covered by the blind belief
That fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take a shot now

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Who oo am I, what and why
Cos all I have left is my memories of yesterday
Ohh these sour times

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

After time the bitter taste
Of innocence decent or race
Scattered seeds, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide ….

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you do

Cos nobody loves me
Its true
Not like you
Nobody loves.. me
Its true
Not, like, you.. do

Automattic (the company behind WordPress) and DreamHost have cut a deal. Automattic obviously gets a cut of the amount you pay DreamHost. However, what DreamHost gives you is not on offer via their homepage or any other promo code I am aware of. This is a complete win-win-win situation for Automattic, DreamHost and the user who signs up.

I totally understand that this is still shared hosting and 1TB is an overkill for all practical purposes. However, I believe for a fact that DreamHost does let you use what they promise if you actually try to use it.

And before I could actually post this, I did a bit of research and found the following within my acocunt under rewards:

Although you can always create as many custom promo codes as you’d like, we are now offering special “DreamHost Invitations” to a select few customers.

DreamHost Invitations:

* Are each good only one time!
* Up our plan features to 2TB disk and 20TB bandwidth!
* Give $150 off a 5-year signup or $200 off a 10-year signup!
* Still give you a full $97 for each referral!
* Are way better than regular promo codes.. but are in very limited supply!

Please note: if anbody who used one of your DreamHost Invitations is ever disabled for fraud/spamming/illegal activities, you will immediately lose all current and future invitations… so please be discriminating with these things!

Aw shucks! You don’t currently have any unused invites.. we told you they were special!

We’ll notify you when you’re given some.
(To not be notified, please just modify your contact info to not receive “DreamHost Promotions”)

So, its either via WordPress or via this special code that seems to be floating around. Else you are opting for 500GB which isn’t any less. I will leave you with this blog post by DreamHost which explains thier business model of overselling in a very slapstick way.
