How I spent the International Shutdown Day

Posted in Miscellaneous, News, Review, Site News |

Its been 36 hours since I’ve used the computer. I felt the urge to switch on the PC many times during the day but suppressed them and thus, successfully spent the International Shutdown Day without using the PC. I discovered so many new and different methods to keep myself busy and entertained. Unexpectedly, I enjoyed the day and didnt miss the using the PC towards the end of the day. Although I was faced with a whole load of unread news and blogs today, I enjoyed yesterday so much that I thought I would probably allocate a Personal Shutdown Day every month or so. It would be a good relief from the everyday hassle of using the PC. Overall, the International Shutdown Day has certainly enlightened me and I feel that everyone to try out something like this one time or another.

And I just cant tell you how much I love Google Personalized Homepages!

I also finally added captions for the ‘In & Out of Class‘ and ‘Special Days‘ sub-sections so now you can know more about every picture.
