No notable gyaan today..

In case you guys read comics on PC, its usually in PDF/DOC/CBR/CBZ/JPG formats.

We all know how to read DOC, PDF and JPG...but some of us want to know how to go ahead and read the comic books in CBZ/CBR formats. There are designated softwares available (eg here) for reading these books, but this simple hack will enable you to read the books with WinRar or Winzip.

No hard steps to follow...just rename .CBZ file as .ZIP and .CBR files as .RAR
Now the file becomes a simple archive which notably has image files inside..just unzip/unrar and go ahead..Enjoy!

Similarly CB7 is for 7z and CBT for TAR.

I thought of a thought to quote as a quote...

I thought of a thought to quote as a quote..10
I slept a sleep and it was all gone..9
It seems I need, to mind my mind..8
Which has a mind of its own..7
I wish that it happens so..6
With this will , I will..5
Surely hone my hone..4
Hope the thought..3
remains unlike..2
sojourn..1

I have tried my hand at writing something I never heard of!
Firstly, the number of words descend with every passing line 10 to 1.
Secondly, not necessarily, but a rhyme pattern is there (gone, own, hone, sojourn).
Thirdly, I have tried to use same words as nouns and verbs.

As for English, I doubt if its 100% correct! Its just an idea..What could really strengthen this paradigm is:
1) Good vocabulary .. so that one is not short of CORRECT words
2) Good Grammar .. So that the usage of tenses, nouns, verbs(blah blah) are proper.
3) A thinking mind :) for things like word, character spacing etc, so that it looks perfect, and others.

I hope, someday I could do that...Till that time, if any reader of this post finds suggestions/ improvements, I will be more than happy to read and incorporate those ;)
