You never know

Disclaimer: My deepest apologies to girls, but I am not trying to be sexist here. The main theme of the post should be equally valid, had the title been Relationship and Boyfriends.

For a fact, I have never been in a relationship ever in my life and I am sure that I have lived more than 25% of my life. The main reason might have been that I was in a catholic school and then joined an engineering college (where sex ratio is amazing).
Anyways, I never had regrets for that and I don’t think it would ever be. Although, I do regret some of the crushes (if thats what they be named) could not be reaped properly.

Of late I had seen that its been getting important for people to get a girlfriend. Its as if that you are big time loser if you can’t even get a girlfriend. Is human relationship getting translated into something to show off? Is it the next upcoming FAD?
I think we should still be able to live a mature and healthy life being single. I know (vicariously although) that relationship is golden and is amazing to be part of, but I still don’t buy the idea of synthetic gold.

The culture is being strengthened more by the pubs as more and more of them make couple entry compulsory. They might have their own business reason to do so (apparently groups of boys get drunk and tend to be more unmanageable as compared to a groups with girls as well). But is that idea not trying to bring somethings artificially into the society?

Anyways, I am not really an expert in sociology. These were just a couple of thoughts about a behavior which I found rather anomalous.

PS: To those who might try to relate. I was thinking to write it down for quite some time. It just so happens that I have done it now!

Hmm…the title is basically a misnomer. This post is not about putting one pic in the post. I imagine the whole gallery should be available in the post. Frankly, even I am not sure how the output would be looking in the end.

BTW, the tool that I would be exploiting to do this is SimpleViewer. Its a flash based viewer which keeps info about the pictures in xml files. It also maintains thumbnail version of the pics. The output is (should be…I am yet to see it running) pretty professional. Check out some screenshots here. Live demo can be seen here, here and here.

Actually I had hit upon this software about a year back as well. But as I had mentioned SimpleViewer requires a couple of xml files which are usuallly generated by other softwares. There are loads of them. You can find links to a few of here. I wasn’t interested at all in the desktop solutions at that time. This time around I found WP-SimpleViewer plugin for WordPress. That is when I figured that SimpleViewer needs a shot this time.

OK enough of talk. Lets see how my sample gallery ‘ding’ looks with SimpleViewer:

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

I came here to delete this post…but then I realised that editing a post means you are getting a chance to ‘undo’ what you have already done. That seems like a nice offer if you really can have it in real life…but we all know that we don’t. ‘Blogging’ would really mean that you are putting down whatever you feel. And one should not try to modify what he already jotted down.

So, here I am to start bloggin on the same ‘Hello World’ post that word press had installed by default. I am sure you guys can do a better job than me….and thats precisely why this thing is setup.
