Ye baat samaj mai aai nai,
or mummy ne samjhaai nai
Mai kese meethi baat karu?
Jab meethi cheez koi khai nai
Ye chand kese maamu h?
Jab mummy ka wo bhaai nai
Kyu lambe baal hai bhalu ke?
Kyu uski triming karai nai.
Kya wo b ganda bacha hai?
Ya jungle mai koi naai nai.
Naani ke pati jb naana hai.
Daadi ke pati jb daada hai.
Didi ke pati kyu dida nai?
Ye baat samaj mai aai nai
or mummy ne samjhaai nai.
Samandar ka rang kyu neela hai?
Jab neel kisi ne milaya nai
Jb school me itni nind aati hai.
To kyu bed waha rakhwaya nai.
Ye baat samaj mai aai nai
or mummy ne samjhaai nai.

Dawn- Poem by Mark R Slaughter
Dawn blushed; betrayed her waking sky
To gently break another morrow fine.
Night waned – the black receding – highland
Reaching for the early morning wine.
The chorus rendered frantic caws and
Chirps and other avian song,
Mapping out the 'mine and yours, ' and
Goading more to sing along!
Quiescent water – deep of lake –
Reflected out the hazy red, but
Through the glass, a flick, a break:
An urgent tail from hidden bed!
And in the meadow, waking faces
Calmly spread a coloured veil;
The dew disclosing spider laces –
Oft with once a fly’s travail!
Dawn blushed; revealed her inner peace;
She handed on another blissful day.
Night ebbed, relenting to release of
Warming blood that gives to her display.
To gently break another morrow fine.
Night waned – the black receding – highland
Reaching for the early morning wine.
The chorus rendered frantic caws and
Chirps and other avian song,
Mapping out the 'mine and yours, ' and
Goading more to sing along!
Quiescent water – deep of lake –
Reflected out the hazy red, but
Through the glass, a flick, a break:
An urgent tail from hidden bed!
And in the meadow, waking faces
Calmly spread a coloured veil;
The dew disclosing spider laces –
Oft with once a fly’s travail!
Dawn blushed; revealed her inner peace;
She handed on another blissful day.
Night ebbed, relenting to release of
Warming blood that gives to her display.
Is Twitter Useful?
Twitter is an interesting beast. Heck, it took several false starts before I started using it, and I’m still not to sure of it’s overall value, other than an easy way for me to update my status that gets aggregated. I still maintain that it’s a pretty silly concept – it’s nothing more than finger, except that my .plan is in the sky and it aggregates all the people that I follow.
On the other hand, Twitter is somewhat disruptive:
1. It’s completely killed my usage of Facebook, which has now turned into a conduit in which I push Twitter updates to. I rarely visit the site anymore, except to check the occasional mail there. Most of the status updates from my connections start with “is twittering” anyways.
2. Companies are starting to use Twitter to track what people are saying about them.
3. Getting ‘real time news’ is faster out of Twitter. Last night, the quickest way to get the details of Google’s AppEngine announcements was by checking Tweetscan. This was hours before the search engine crawlers hit it and way before people were blogging about it.
4. Lots of applications / mashups are being built to better understand the traffic Twitter is generating and extend the service.
And the downside? The signal to noise ratio on Twitter is massive. It’s worse than with blogs.
While I find that I prefer a client application like Twitterific to the web interface (see here for other tools), it does enable you to easily post every random thought. And boy, people sure do have diarrhea of the mouth when given an open mic to talk with all day long.
Another thing that I don’t understand is how people can follow the stream of consciousness of massive numbers. Really – how can you follow 39,000+ people? Or is it just another “a-list” popularity contest to see who can amass the largest number of “friends”? Who knows.
Anyways, the jury is still out on how useful Twitter really is .. Time will tell, I guess.
Oh, and finally, my twitter status updates are here if you’re interested in reading what coffee I’m drinking this morning.
