#aNew – fresh start on the web

I started blogging earlier this year at www.justanotherblogpage.co.cc, but that got boring and i sort of left it there!
But after making a few websites for some amazing clients, i decided it was time i had my own website, and so mansimransingh.com was born. To be honest, i would have liked msingh.com, but that domain name is already taken. After doing a quick whois lookup, i found that the guy has had it registered for about 3 years now, and he doesn’t even have a homepage !! You get a 404 error when visiting msingh.com! Nevermind, I will be buying that domain soon too.

A full site isn’t really planned yet, but this blog is a start. I really dont know what I want on my website; no idea about the content I would like yet, but I guess its a start!

You can stalk me at various places, to find out how visit: www.mansimransingh.com

 

Tie’d down?

So I left in the morning  in a hurry (as always) and on my way to the train station I noticed something odd =O

I wasn’t wearing a tie . . .now this comes as a shock to me simply because I’VE NEVER LIKED WEARING A TIE, but as its part of the school uniform I should have had a tie. Instead of wearing it, I usually just leave it hanging around my neck till I am forced by some old woman in authority (teachers? and not just women but male teachers generally share the pain so don’t bother), to tie my tie. And me because I am me, likes the perfect windsor knot. There’s nothing wrong with the windsor knot but thought I’d mention what I like anyway.

So I had forgotten my tie which got me thinking why to we wear a tie anyway? Why do men have to be tie’d down “pardon the pun” ;) (and yes that was quoting from Come Fly With Me, and if you don’t know what that is, watch it here  . . .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkz4TRcRrJs it is quite hilarious )?

In simple words I was thinking WHY DO I HAVE TO WEAR A TIE? IT’S THE MOST USELESS PIECE OF ACCESSORY . . .EVER!! So I went online during the train journey and found out that apparently it boosts your ego? And that it started off as handkerchiefs around one’s neck to show status or something of that sort. . .and again something to do with status in wars . . .bit of history here for you.

my vast? collection of charity (well mostly) badges =)

So I thought I’d share my TIE! THIS IS MY SCHOOL TIE. In fact I have two, simply because my freakishness hobby of “tie-badging” got out of hand and not all the badges fit on one tie? One of them is crawling up the neck? So while one of these hangs on a nail in my wall, the other usually hangs around my neck with not so many badges.

Conclusion? Badges look great on the most useless piece of clothing ever =)
