If I Could Rename My Blogā€¦

If I could rename my blogā€¦

Back in November 2006 I decided to purchase my very own URL for my blog (which I bought 2 months later on an 1st 2007) and I had a lot of time to think as to what name & address I wanted for my blog/website. I had a few options in front of me and went back & forth trying them out loud and thinking as how they sounded. An hour before I registered the name I was down to three choices : a) Awake & Dreaming b) RoshanGKMenon and c) RGKonline.

As you know I settled on Awake & Dreaming . org (because .com was not available and plus they had a discount for .org URLs that week) and I have no regrets about the name as that pretty much describes what the blog and I am – I do day dream a lot. I tend to drift off into my made up universe when I am either alone or traveling in a bus, car etc. I also always go into this universe when I lie awake in bed just before I go to sleep. So no regrets and also it’s the name of an awesome song by Finger Eleven, a band that I like a lot.

If I wanted to have another name, like purchase another url and also have it point to my blog, would I go with RGK Online? Or something else? I’m not sure but at the moment this is it and I love it. My annual renewal of the webspace is up in a week and I will be adding another year. The URL was grabbed in November which is when it is up.

If I Had 1 Billion Dollars

Youā€™ve just won $1 billion dollars in the local lottery. You do not have to pay tax on your winnings. How will you spend the money?

$1 billion is approximately Rs. 60 billion or Rs.62,000,000,000. Wow! I cannot even fathom that much amount being held by anyone in India (although there has to be a few like that) let alone me! That is a whole lot of dough for just one Indian. Let’s say, for the sake of the post that we are keeping it in India and in Indian currency. What would I do with it?

Buy a huge brand new hi-tech house for my folks. Buy a top floor, full floor apartment for me with all the bells and whistles! Buy all the latest gadgets and gizmos. Have a grand party an invite all my relatives and friends and have a blast! Buy lots of gifts for them. Buy a jet and travel to Las Vegas in it. Get a luxury suite and invite a whole lotta women to my place for the party of their lives.

Wake up hungover 3 days later with over 20 naked babes all asleep in my giant bed and find out that I am now broke! Oops!
