Quotes

All along my life I have always been impressed by quotes. Quotes by authors, writers, poet, playwright, screenwriters etc.
In my school days, they were mostly written quotes. Quotes from my English Non-Detail and the novels dominated them. Then when I started watching movies, there were few from them. There were times, when I used to write it down in my diary, whenever I came across a good one.
The “Good” quotes were those which helped me in my tough times, on reading which I got inspired or the quotes which aligned with my way of thinking or which created a sense of Déjà-vu.
This weekend I got a chance to see Spiderman-I for some nth time. But it was this time, I heard the last line said by Peter Parker (The Spiderman). The line goes something like this.

“Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man”

Somehow, I liked this line. And I decided to start a set of posts, where I can put my favorite lines. I decide to put a logo on the blog title (the “ in the title) to say that, the post is an outcome of one of my favorite quote.

Keep watching for that logo!!

Waste

My blog has got a lot of stuff in the first quarter of 2009. A few blogs (little better than last year), many links, pictures on the left side, a header with an image (again!!), two followers and of course the web 2.0 technology. I had tried to put my blog link in my other online avatars like linkedin, flickr, google IM status message, technorati and recently in blogadda to make more visitors visit my blog, not just visit, but read it and not just read it, but also comment on it.
I can say I had succeeded a lot in the first one, very little in the second one and failed in the third one. Except for few (it is ONE) person, there will be no comments from others. As people jokingly say, the comments in blogs are mostly from your friends, whom you have threatened to, unless one had really a good way of writing or put things in a way that appealed. The first way works better for me :), still with no luck (because I do not know how to threaten).
If you reached this line of the blog, thanks for spending some time in my blog. As I earlier said, I had again succeeded in atleast making people read this.
