Diary of a Wimpy Kid

I love to read diaries. Especially those written by small kids because those cute little diaries portray the innocence of small children. For example, I've read a few pages of the Diary of Young Girl (Anne Frank). And recently, while there was a sale going on Amazon, I purchased "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney.

The Wimpy Kid series is quite popular amongst the kids with 9 other releases and a movie based on it.



The other Wimpy kid series include [Click the below links to buy them from Amazon India] :
Jeffrey "Jeff Kinney" is an American game designer, cartoonist, producer, actor and author of the Wimpy Kid Series of books.

In the Wimpy Kid series, Jeff writes about the daily struggles of a boy named Greg Heffley in middle school.

I haven't read the whole book, but read a few initial pages and was impressed by its satirical narration.

For example, Greg makes it clear to the readers that its not a diary, its a JOURNAL. I'd like to quote him : 

First of all, let me get something straight: this is a JOURNAL, not a diary. I know what it says on the cover, but when Mom went out to buy this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to get one that didn't say "diary" on it.
So just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that.
Later, on the next page, he writes his childish thought on being rich. He writes:
The only reason I agreed to do this at all is because I figure later on when I'm rich and famous, I'll have better things to do than answer people's stupid questions all day long. So this book is gonna come in handy.

Next he starts writing about his middle school and how he is stuck there with a bunch of morons.

I liked the way in which the diary (oh sorry, JOURNAL) has been written accompanied with funny cartoons.

Recommended for all the kids above 7. Also a good read for elders.

34 things I learned from The Last Lecture - Randy Pausch

 Assume that you're on the verge of dying. You've probably a few months to live. You're suffering from some notorious form of cancer wherein you've very less hope of surviving. And then you think that you've very less time for all the things you wanted to do, for all the things you wanted to say to your loved ones, to your children and to the world. How would you want your children to remember you? Of what you thought about them? Your feelings for them? A few days ago I read the book - The last lecture by Randy Pausch. Randy was a professor at Carnegie Melon University and the book and the lecture is about achieving your childhood dreams. But more than that, I found the book as a good resource on parenting. Here are a few points that I found worth sharing: 1. If I were a painter, I would have painted for them. If I were a musician, I would have composed music. But I am a lecturer. So I lectured. 2. Engineering isn’t about perfect solu

We Have Lost Touch With Humanity

I was reading Robin Sharma's - "Who Will Cry When You Die?" . Love reading the book because I can start reading from any page. And each small lesson of these little book provides food for thought. I read this book whenever I'm short of time, but want to read. It is great. A small excerpt from the very first lesson of the book: We can fire a missile across the world with pinpoint accuracy, but we have trouble keeping a date with our children to go to the library. We have e-mail, fax machines and digital phones so that we can stay connected and yet we live in a time where human beings have never been less connected. We have lost touch with our humanity. We have lost touch with our purpose. We have lost sight of the things that matter the most. Isn't it worth pondering? We're busy checking our phones and emails every 5 minutes but we forget to check our purpose, our goals and our family members. We continuously try to refresh our news feed on Facebook

Disconnect to Connect

For the past couple of days I have been reading on Productivity Tips. Have been scouring various blogs on the same. One thing that has caught my fancy is Digital Detox. To stay away from all kinds of Electronic Connecting Devices, especially Smart Phone. I am constantly connected to the Internet via my iPhone. Even while working on stuff that doesn't require me to be connected to the Internet, I keep my WiFi on. And this in turn compels me to check my email or browse unnecessary stuff on the Internet. This disrupts my thinking process or my work. Although I love being connected to my friends and family members over Whatsapp and other social networks, I don't want it to be a habit where I check my phone even if there are no new notifications. Tip: Stay Focused with this little Google Chrome Extension So here's my plan to Disconnect and be more Productive: Use Whatsapp sparingly. No forwarding of that joke that you found funny or no unnecessary chit-chat
