Do it with a smile (){

I’ve always liked seeing people smile. And I always loved making them. There are very few things in this world that can make me as happy as making people smile. I’ve often gone beyond the normal to do so. It’s addictive, it’s rewarding and it never has to stop. Whatever makes you smile, it makes me smile too.

Life has not been always a colorful butterfly for anyone. Everybody gets hurt. Everyone has had tears in their eyes. Everyone felt lonely at times. Everyone has felt out of context at times. Everyone has felt helpless at times. Everyone has felt the absence of love from the significant people whether it was really there and not. But in those moments, if you think about such times and smile, it always ease things albeit not set everything right – when you thought you had invented a whole new way to play a music instrument, when you had been told you have a pretty smile, when you saw the hero and the heroine finally get together in almost all hindi films, when you got to purchase that shirt with your preferred price over the tagged price, or when you hugged your parents the last time.

Life is good with a smile. Life is good with tears. Life is better with tears and smiles combined.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (){

I’m putting the famous 3R quote from Captain Planet to yet another use. This time, I’m applying it to my very own website which I had known from 2002 under various domain names and disowned countless times. But this time, I’m sticking to the sufinawaz.com domain name for good. I had been lazy enough to not put it back up after taking it down for several months now. But enough is enough, I said to myself! And along came the idea of importing the feeds from blogspot and picasaweb albums in addition to what I already had, to rebuild this website with minimal effort and yet in most effective ways. True, I had to indulge myself into some coding after what seems to be a zillion years, but must I say, it has been a very satisfying effort indeed. I can now use the tools at blogspot and picasaweb to organize my blogs and photo albums almost effortlessly and with a great amount of flexibility in retrieving and displaying the data too. So most of what you will be seeing here from now on will actually be imported from blogspot and picasaweb.

It took me a decent amount of time to figure the stuff out since it’s been a while I have done any sort of coding. So once I get some time, I will upload the PHP codes that you can use to retrieve data from blogspot and picasaweb.

So stay tuned, and hopefully I’ll have my website up in less than a zillion years from now*.
