Enjoy the Ride.....

2011-04-24T12:05:00.001+05:30

Some of my friends shared this in FB. I seriously thought it was an Ad..actually it is..but not a commercial one.

The reason why I am blogging this and not just sharing in FB is to raise some questions of a different issue..see the video first..

What is Enjoy the Ride?

Enjoy the Ride is a Road Safety Council of Western Australia initiative, brought to you by the Office of Road Safety. Our aim is to show Western Australian drivers that there is an alternative to speeding – on the road and in life. And it’s a better way

Help Japan With Hello Bar

2011-03-12T23:01:00.001+05:30

As you may be aware by now, the great quake in Japan has shaken the entire world.

The extent of the damages so far caused by the earthquake coupled with Tsunami have already proven this is not just another news headline which can be forgotten in a week over another case of Middle East violence. The issue is much more serious.

"Being in the Moment" - A talk on photography

2011-01-29T00:02:00.001+05:30

I was lucky enough to witness a great talk on photography delivered by Mr. Sudhir Ramachandran. Just to give an idea of his credentials, he was once the Asian Ambassador to the World Council of Professional Photographers (WCPP).
The talk was part of an exhibition on Contemporary Photography organised by National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA, Blr) and Victoria & Albert Museum, London.
Sudhir started his presentation by saying it's been more than a decade since he gave a talk on photography. And a lot have changed during the time. Many of the pictures he showed was part of his personal collection which have not been shown anywhere else(!).

India Celebrates 62nd Republic Day

2011-01-26T01:32:00.004+05:30

Of all the experiments in government, which have been attempted since the beginning of time, I believe that the Indian venture into parliamentary government is the most exciting. A vast subcontinent is attempting to apply to its tens and thousands of millions a system of free democracy... It is a brave thing to try to do so. The Indian venture is not a pale imitation of our practice at home, but a magnified and multiplied reproduction on a scale we have never dreamt of. If it succeeds, its influence on Asia is incalculable for good. Whatever the outcome we must honour those who attempt it.

- Sir Anthony Eden, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

A letter from a girl to JRD Tata in 1974

2010-06-30T22:34:00.001+05:30

Have Passion!

It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore was getting warm and gulmohars were blooming at the IISc campus. I was the only girl in my postgraduate department and was staying at the ladies' hostel. Other girls were pursuing research in different departments of Science.

I was looking forward to going abroad to complete a doctorate in computer science. I had been offered scholarships from Universities in the US... I had not thought of taking up a job in India.

One day, while on the way to my hostel from our lecture-hall complex, I saw an advertisement on the notice board. It was a standard job-requirement notice from the famous automobile company Telco (now Tata Motors)... It stated that the company required young, bright engineers, hardworking and with an excellent academic background, etc.

At the bottom was a small line: 'Lady Candidates need not apply.'

WORK VIRUS!!!!

2010-06-11T19:27:00.000+05:30

The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weekly Overload Recreational Killer (WORK).

If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT!!! This virus will wipe out your private life entirely. If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest liquor store and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER).

Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should immediately forward this medical alert to five friends.

If you do not have five friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Ant & Grasshopper Story- New Version

2010-05-21T13:48:00.000+05:30

Old Story:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and

laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool

and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or

shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Indian Version of this old story:

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and

laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the

summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands

to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others

are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper

next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with

food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor

Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that

Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter .

Mayawati states this as `injustice' done on Minorities.

SURA –The TERROR!!!

2010-05-06T01:09:00.001+05:30

From Our Special Correspondent -

Chennai: If You are not aware of the Latest Tamil Movie SURA (means Shark) then its better u be beware of the Terror terrorizing Tamil Nadu
SURA the 50th film of Vijay a.k.a Young General is certainly making deadly Tsunami waves –through theaters. Some instances below.

Kasab has reportedly gone into shock after the judge sentenced him to watch re-runs of SURA in solitary confinement. His lawyer told the press that they will be appealing to reduce the punishment to death sentence.
Chinese have decided to include “watching Sura” as one of their torture techniques and have ordered for 10,000 digital prints of the film. Apparently an official said “we can beat India in anything but not in making movies like Sura”
In a medical breakthrough lunatics were cured instantly after watching the opening sequence of SURA. They said “we feel smarter already”
Thousands of people are leaving Chennai after the movie got released –“We can tolerate the Summer …but SURA is just too much”
Insurance Companies report that claims for personal damages have tripled in the last month.usual reason is “watched Sura”
Hospitals are reportedly bribing Theatres to run more shows,as more & more people come to get admitted in the hospital straight from the movie theatre showing SURA. Usual symptoms are dizziness & nausea.

Last But Not Least…

Sharks have filed defamation case against the producers of the movie for using their name without their permission and making them look like a “comedy piece”

really a must watch for Vijay Fans atleast that's wat the reviews say…

Bangalore, India
April 4, 2020 A.D
8.00 pm

“Next Stop CMH Road”
..announced the Namma Metro in its sweetest electronic voice. DJ got up from his seat, while checking Twitter in his ADAM tablet PC.

ShashiTharoor: in bhurj khalifa ..Excited abt today’s meeting between our PM Rahul Gandhi & his Pakistani counterpart

An old uncle who lives nearby DJ’s place looked at it and said..

“these guys will never get it over with ..will they??”

DJ smiled and said in mocking military ton

“No Sir. Never”

DJ reached his apartment on the 12th floor ,let himself in and announced

“Honey, I am home”
“welcome dear”

As DJ entered the living room, He could see the familiar sight of Mrs.Geek setting up the dinner table.

“Hi”
“Hi dear.. how was the day?”
“Well the stocks went down by 2 %, our logistics dept messed up so the shipment will be delayed by 2 days by which our stocks will crash and I almost punched a MBA candidate who asked for stocks options post interview”
“hehehehhhehe just another day in office I guess”
“ you bet…coffee??”

DJ came near to the table and got the coffee cup from her.

“Where is she?”
“She is in her e-class. Have coffee and shower up dinner will be ready soon..”
“hmm before that can I get some sugar?”
“ but I already put two cubes in that”
“I wasn’t asking it for coffee”

DJ settled the cup on the table, grabbed her by the waist , leaned in and planted a wet kiss

“Daddddddddddddddddddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy”

DJ got startled and quickly let her go.

“Hi Cupcake”

Their daughter was standing in a frock with orange flowers on it.

What were you doing with mom??
Nuthn nuthn just saying hi…come here beautiful

She ran towards him and he took her in his arms

“aah…yes..give daddy a kiss….hmm good…how was school?
“School was good but short”
“had eclass today??”
“yes..Mrs.Nokumara from Japan taught us History”
“really…good wat history world war? India’s independence struggle?”
“ no rise and fall of 8071 Microprocessors…it was history of electronics”
DJ turned towards his wife
“honey are you hearing this…plzz tell me I am dreaming”
“hehehheeh …like father like daughter..she herself opted for extra e-class electronics”

DJ let his daughter down from his arms

“off you go sweety ..mom will call
when dinner’s ready”
He then said “I just hope she does not become a geek like me”
“Don’t worry, even if she did she will still be you sweet little cupcake”
“Hmm ok I will go shower”
“Ok…oh ..before I forget your Ghost had called”

How long to wait??
5 mins on the way….
DJ was waiting in Garuda. It’s been more than a month since the ‘unusual day’.
1 msg received ….DG

Reached coming up..plzz don’t laugh

DJ was wondering what was that supposed to mean and as soon as he saw her , he knew what she meant.

DJ gasped “OMG”

DG was wearing a sari. He was seeing her wearing a sari for the first time. She wasn’t the DG as he knew her.

Suddenly DJ got reminded of Steve Martin and his movie Father of the Bride. When his daughter walks up the aisle in the wedding dress, she still appears to him as the little girl playing bride. DJ was feeling similarly and he was very much surprised to actually think like that.

DJ thought “wow..if this is wat it feels like …no wonder dad’s cry at their daughter’s wedding”

DG came towards him.

DJ: You look great

In all these days…DJ had never voluntarily complimented her

DG: really? Thanks….but I have to say .u look awful

It was 12.25pm on hot summer day in Bangalore.

“I will have a Lychee chill”

DJ was in CCD in Forum Mall.

“anything to eat sir”

He usually goes to Kalmane Koffee when he goes to Forum.

“hmm..u have anything sweet?”
“of course, would u like a muffin?”
“nah that won’t be chocolaty enough”
“pardon sir?”

But this wasn’t an usual day.

10 things I learned in Hyderabad

2010-02-26T18:29:00.001+05:30

Recently I went to Hyderabad and these are the 10 most important things I learned which I think everyone who is going to Hyderabad should know, but seldom told.

So here goes

People say biryani at least 5 times a day
Biryani is available for breakfast,lunch & dinner – 24/7
People eat biryani at least once a day..unless they are dead
People don't say lets meet for lunch or dinner, they say lets have a biryani together
Not being a hungry is not an acceptable excuse for not having biryani
Its rude to even ask what's so special about biryani.(caution,u may face physical danger)
Impressing a local girl requires extensive knowledge about availability of biryani, capacity to eat more biryani than her and of course ability to afford it.
Its never a pretty sight to see a girl dunk a whole biryani by herself ,no matter how pretty she is (solution-look at your biryani & eat)
Any biryani is best as long as it is made in Hyderabad
BIRYANI.

"Oh no...not again"
DJ's irritation was so radioactive .that even a lizard nearby would have become Mozilla..err...Godzilla. He ran the network troubleshooting wizard again, but it was still showing no internet access.
"Troubleshooting wizard could not identify any problems"
DJ suddenly in his imagination became Quick Gun Murugan wearing yellow coat and green trousers with fringes & a cowboy hat. He could see modems branded "Trouble” hanging on wires in a distance .He took out both his revolvers and started shooting them A la' matrix time slice. After the first round, he blew the smoke from the guns and said
"Ennada Rascalas, I am the ultimate Trouble Shooter.... Nan nenacha...."
His dialogue was interrupted ..........DG Calling...........
DJ decided to cut the scene short and simply said "Mind It" and picked up the call

John & Sophie

2009-12-13T22:05:00.000+05:30

"I promised you Sophie,I will never ever leave you .

And tonight I am keeping my promise"

He held his grip on her. Its been 7 years....7 glorious years...though he has crossed his prime..she still appeared the same as she had looked before 7 years. Bold & Beautiful.That's what he always looked for, that's why he waited and never rushed into things.

When he saw Sophie in one of those famous magazines while waiting in the airport, he immediately booked a ticket to Germany just to catch a glimpse of her. When he finally saw her in the grand party hosted by her family,he was breathless.He kept on gazing her , her curves, the intensity in her looks, her boldness,her charisma which made her stand out of the crowd.

The next day he made his offer,an offer which took their breath away,for he was a man who would not take No for an answer.He didn't want to take any chances with her.The heritage of her family was globally known and even though his friends & family were worried that he took an hasty decision without consulting anybody,once they met her, they couldn't help but to let it go and simply stood gazing at her.

Some of them would say "Man, you are the luckiest man in this world"

He would simply smile and say "I know"

Arrogant Fools We Are

2009-12-12T14:21:00.001+05:30

I just finished reading “Winner Stands Alone” by Paulo Coelho. Although it was a good read,it did not leave a impact on me except for a small part.The Lead character at one point raises a question about global warming and so called Man’s cruelty towards Earth.

“How can we be so arrogant? The planet is,was and always will be stronger than us.We can’t destroy it,if we overstep the mark,the planet will simply erase us from its surface and carry on existing.Why don’t they start talking about not letting the planet destroy us?”

Its a valid question…isn't it? I mean we shouldn’t be worried about the earth but about ourselves,Human Race as we are collectively called. Actually the posters and banners should read “Save Mankind” (from the atrocities of Man actually) But that would be just selfish,so we try and paint a different picture and say “We Strive to save Earth”

They say the water level is rising and we are cutting down trees,so many species have become extinct etc etc..So what?, May be there will very little land or no land above the sea…may be the world as we know it will become a Water World of some sorts with underwater forests and aquatic creatures.Only thing is we may not be alive to see how the world turns out…may be millions of years later, the new intelligent species may figure out that millions of years ago,that two legged animals ruled the land..

I am not rejecting the views by scientists or activists,I am just saying may be they should convince people to save electricity and reuse & recycle as much as possible not to save Earth ,but to for our own survival.

Not Acme of Evolution But Arrogant Fools We Are

BYE in OYE

2009-11-22T23:08:00.001+05:30

BYE RAJIV

Oh sorry those of who u didn't know Rajiv S.Perumal has been officially posted in TCS,Mumbai (finally!! almost an year since he got the offer). So we had met up for dinner for the last time...in this year

We included Me ,Rajiv,Vaisak, Manoj & Dhiru.

Rajiv always liked Oye Amritsar in church street and since Dhiru recommended the new one in Koramangala is Very Good, we thought lets see wat’s all the Oye about.(even i like Oye,but that's a different one the blessed souls who read my creative gibberish G&G will understand what i mean)

Coming back to Oye Amritsar,the first thing that hits you is the decor and ambience,trying to recreate the Dhaba environment.The parking-lot itself is covered in the design of a lorry back door .The sign board too is very creatively done,not too mention the walls where one can see relaxSingh

Step in to the dining roof (yeah its in terrace) its all breezy and nice.I saw some candle lights too in some tables,but I seriously doubt whether its was supposed to be candle lit romantic dinner,because the place is kinda funky and loud. The Bar counter is named London beer & wines owned by Tipsy Singh and similarly tandoor and main food counter have been creatively decorated as well. I could have take many pics, but you see all attention was on Rajiv.

The menu was in form of rubber flaps which hang in the back of a truck.One can see the effort that has gone in the designing of the whole thing.

Johnny ka Label , Pepper Vodka Golgappa shows they really mean it when they say dhabha experience.

The staff were courteous and the service was good enough for a restaurant of this kind.

Dhiru wanted to try the shorbha and we almost chuckled at the sight of it.First the quantity was too low.Second the spoon was already inside and the waiter just brought it as it is .No tray no saucer no salver and the spoon with the soup was wobbling as the waiter was figuring out who among us was the lucky one.Finally it settled on Dhiru’s place.He looked at me and said “Lakshmi aren't you gonna blog abt this??” Sure dude i just did.

The soup was good so we didn’t make it a big issue.The starters were amazing both the Chicken and Gobi.The main course was good,but again, the presentation was poor,none of them looked appetizing. Since almost all dishes were tasty and the fact that it was past 10 pm already we didn't have the time to crib about it, plus u know… Rajiv IS leaving to Mumbai.Vaisak and Rajiv had the long glass lassi’s .They said it was really nice and awfully heavy.

Overall it was nice but lil expensive than i thought (came to 300 per head and we ordered very few dishes).But it has definitely made into my list of eat-outs.

BTW I am pleased to inform, Rajiv has landed safely in Mumbai, and will be travelling 80 kms daily to work in the local trains ( he didn’t sound happy abt it though..i wonder why )

BYE RAJIV, all the coffee shops in Bangalore is going to miss your presence,but not more than me.

"oooo..thank you ghost..but why are you whispering"
"I am in office"
"oh ok ok"
"chal i will call later..congrats again"

This story is based on some true events, however it has been fictionalized and all persons appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

“Looking at the SWOT analysis, its apparent that the firm is very weak financially and has limited core competencies.Considering the market forces that is controlling this industry,its seems that the best way to save this company is to divest.”

DJ was ebbing with his intelligence.He eyes were focused with a fire in them.He loves to sound intellectual especially when the audience has no clue what he is talking about.It makes him feel he is special, a cut above the rest.

“Alternatively there is one more way to save this company. SYNERGY ....that's the key.If the firm can identify suitable partners in the upward or downward stream of the supply chain and synergize with them,then the combined financial gain,R&D strength will definitely will boost their chances of their survival”

But this time the guy who was listening to him was not a novice...he was a maverick,much more smarter than DJ.He was loosing patience with DJ's lengthy explanation bcoz he had already decided what he is going to say.However he continued listening to give DJ his small happiness of sounding like a strategist.

“I definitely think Synergy is only solution for survival.for example if u look at this scenario they can partner with the vendor supplying the machinery so that they can assemble their own customized assembly lines with improved R&D increasing production & efficiency. What do you think? “
“Nah..I don't see a strategic fit in this and i don't think synergy is the solution in this scenario”

Its was RJ who said this.

RJ is the one of the popular kid who everybody knows and important thing is he also knows everybody by their names. He is one of those whiz kids one might find in prestigious institutions.He always made it to the toppers list, though he spends most of the time in exploring new places and making new friends.He talks with a cool & confident air which makes anyone believe whatever he is saying.

But very few close friends like DJ knows many at the times he keeps bluffing .Nothing evil.but just for fun.He is not very serious like DJ.Because he believes he can be the best in anything he does.

DJ : if synergy is not the solution then wat else??

RJ: The best thing to do will be to license out this technology which is the only good thing they have,sell all production units,pay their debts.Then set up R&D centers from the license fee. The royalty fee from sales ensures a steady income stream.Since the technology is good,that will ensure good sales,which is sufficient to cover the R&D operating costs.

DJ was dumbstruck and felt even dumber.He thought "man, how does he do that??". He always does this.Gives one answer and cleans up all the crap thrown at the table.

DJ:hmm that makes sense...wow look at the time its 8.30... wat plans for dinner?
RJ:nothing guess i will go home,at least i will eat @ home today...
DJ:hehehehe k...how about coffee?
RJ:good life? (its a milk brand)
DJ:yep
RJ:Sure i will have coffee.
DJ:okies....i will get the coffees
RJ:kewl....i will start the draft meanwhile

Just that time ....DJ's mobile rang....DG CALLING

DJ :just a minute
RJ:sure
DJ:hellos

hmm

DJ then realised sumthing.. dinner... dinner@home.. coffee good life...oh no....

DJ realised he came out of the room for the call..he went inside and saw RJ packing his stuff...

DJ:Dude why u packing?

RJ:I have finished the draft ,i have mailed you..its getting late..i already got a call from home...

DJ:Dude just wait..i will make the coffee 2 mins..

RJ:hehehehee its ok dude..if i had coffee now i can't eat properly...next time i will have it sure....hope u don't get any long distance calls :P

DJ:hey c'mon,,,it was DG only
RJ:hmm i saw...i didn't know u guys started talking..i mean u know...daily basis ....n stuff

DJ:nonono no no nonono..its not like that..
RJ:8 NO's? seriously...?
DJ:i meant No... i mean ..the thing is she has joined work na so she has shifted to a hostel and it will take some time before she gets internet..since we used to chat daily..for the time being we just call each other.....
RJ:oh ok.....anyways all the best
DJ:dude?
RJ:for the report hehehehe
DJ:u scared me
RJ:don't worry its all good....
DJ:ok then...catch you tomo....i will call u ....say by 5?
RJ:sure..MG road?
DJ:Yep..
RJ:kewl... Bye Ciao
DJ:Bye

RJ:i will ping u later...hehehe anyways ur not using Gtalk much nowadays :P
DJ:DUDE!! c'mon
RJ:ok ok...bye now..i gotta run
DJ:bye

*************
DJ put a lil pepper on the pasta (he likes a pepper a lot) and just when he closed the lid....his phone rang "DG calling"

DJ:hellos
DG:u said u will call ..
DJ:i was abt to call
DG:ur so cheap.. saving ur phone bill??
DJ:yeah rite... RJ was leaving .. thats why i cut the call
DG:u cut my call again..i will kill you....is that clear?
DJ:yes mam..Crystal
DG:huh?
DJ:i meant Crystal Clear
DG:good....had dinner?
DJ:not its cookinggggggggggggg OH no my pasta.... listen i will call u back ....

DJ threw the mobile on the table and thought "she's gonna kill me for this"
& then ran into the kitchen to save his dinner.

This story is based on some true events, however it has been fictionalized and all persons appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

thud dud thud dud thud dud thud dud…………………DJ was running again.
It was a long,dark, lonely highway.

Running away from the world…. the world which is “full of practicality” Running away from the so called “reality”……As he ran the same images that used to haunt him kept coming again.he kept running towards the faint light at the end of the road.

The light grew closer…interestingly the light was getting dimmer as he got close to it….

As he approached the light… he could see the source of light… there was a face…… but it was not the same …it was not her ...it was not the face that stole his sleep…this was different…… .it was someone else…he heard a giggle, the girl was laughing….
DJ couldn’t stop …he ran towards her ….then he felt something different…
zzzzoooooooooopppppp……It was a sudden pull… a gravity pull…he was falling…..aaaahhhhhh…………HUH???
but this time there was no sea,
there were no rocks…
instead he heard

OYE!!
DJ : wat the hell?
DG was standing up on the stairs and was calling him.
DG: oye…come fast
DJ looked around and thought ‘you have gotta be kidding me’
DG: u fool …i am calling u only… come fast
then she continued to walk up the stairs and disappeared in the darkness
DJ: damn..this is not happening

He climbed up the stairs and reached a porch.and a tall building like a church..there was huge door denoting there is a huge hall inside.He saw her entering inside.
He approached the door and he almost froze.His old school watchman was sitting beside it.

“is it really you uncle?”
“of course its me..now hurry up.. everyone’s waiting”

DJ was utterly confused “everyone???”
He finally entered the building
and it was a huge hall and suddenly he was hit by loud music ‘AAJ KI RAAT…’was blaring in the speakers
IT WAS A PARTY!!!
DJ was thinking ‘wat in the world is going on here??’
and then he noticed the crowd …it was really everyone …everyone from his life..the very ones he was running from… hiding from….his school friends,old neighbors, college friends,his teachers , girls he had a crush on,..and he heard someone calling…

“ah ! there you are.. we were waiting for you”
DAD!!
“first look wat is he wearing” (he was in sweatshirt and tracks)
MOM!!
DAD: yes u must change now..there’s fresh set in that room
MOM: first wash your face..u look so sleepy
DJ was staring at them blankly
MOM: wat you looking.. go go

DJ went inside the room and changed amidst all the confusion.when he came out he saw a girl passing by in the corridor.He couldn’t see her clearly.he went behind he could see her dressed in a long white dress with white wings she was dressed as an angel..DJ became very curious and stepped up .but she was moving swiftly through the passage..suddenly out of nowhere DG appeared.

oye… where you think you are going?
hey… no ..i…i thought i saw someone
which girl ur following?
.no ..yes …yeah… i mean ..white dress .. how did u know it was a girl??
you guys are all the same…i am waiting here and your running behind some girl
it was not some girl..she..she was like an angel
and i look like a ghost to you??

DJ noticed that even she had dressed up…

arrey no ..you look great
hmm …you look good too
thank you.but can you pls tell me whats going on??
cant you see ….its a party!! come come

and she pulled his hand and ran to the hall..they entered and the music dj shouted “look finally the real DJ is here” and spinned off Bon Jovi’s “Its My life”
And the crowd clapped and hooteed “wooohoooo” some shook hands wid him girls waved at him ..friends lifted him up…and then…
BOOM a banner opened “Welcome Back DJ” and party poppers exploded and the party was officially on…
and his friends who were carrying him finally got him on the ground and he was searching for DG..but she seem to have disappeared…he looked around and saw everyone..it was everyone he loved and cared about more importantly it was everyone who loved and cared about him…
the dj spinned off “Its the time to DISCO” and the people started joining hands and forming a train…suddenly DG was there and grabbed his hand and they joined the dance train…..and he had to scream becoz of the loud music..

wats all this
you still didnt get it?
no…Welcome back to??
Life
wat
LIFE IS A BIG PARTY MACHA….KEEP DANCING AS MUCH YOU CAN….
huh?
life is short so ENJOY MADI DI DI DI DID IDING DING DING DING DING DI DING DING DING …DJ killed the alarm…it was 7 am

DJ couldn’t believe it was all a dream..he was wondering how come his usual nightmare changed into a big party dream…even then his sleep was not disturbed

hmm so you keep alarm to get up @ 7am??? how lazy are you?

DJ heard his mom’s voice.he got up and realized he was @ home..he had come for a short holiday

hehehehe 7 am is early morning in Bangalore.
get up and freshen up… coffee is ready…
hmm ok..

DJ suddenly missed DG..he realized he hasn’t spoken to her since he came home.He got up,freshened up ,,grabbed the coffee cup and went to the balcony and rang up to her mobile.As soon as she picked she started screaming

oye…you alive ?? you went home and completely forgot me huh?

DJ’s face lit up with huge smile …then he calmly said

hellos

***********
They were in the last term in college and both them knew that their 24/7 chatting is soon going to come to an halt as they will soon start working and life wouldn’t be the same.
DG changed from hellos to oye and DJ changed from hi to hellos,they said good morning to each other ,reminded each other to have lunch,discussed what happened in the evening and said goodnight at the end of the day.And occasionally they got into serious conversations about the changes that is going to happen in their lives.All the good ,bad & ugly was known to each other and DJ was actually surprised to find him comfortable to discuss many personal stuff with her which he won’t even think of sharing with his other friends.

My Stupid Mouth

2009-08-22T22:54:00.001+05:30

My stupid mouth,
Has got me in trouble.
I said too much again.
To a date over dinner yesterday
And I could see she was offended.
She said well anyway...
Just dying for a subject change.
Oh, its another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head.
Oh, whats a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips. she looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the
Salt and pepper shaker.
And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good, what just
Slipped out and what went wrong.
Oh, the way she feels about me has changed.
Thanks for playing, try again.
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head.
Oh, whats a boy to do?
I guess he better find one.
Im never speaking up again. it only hurts me.
Id rather be a mystery than she desert me.
Oh Im never speaking up again.
Starting now
One more thing.
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But its all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked, I just wanna be funny.
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire
Im never speaking up again it only hurts me.
Id rather be a mystery than she desert me.
Oh Im never speaking up again
Starting now

**********************************************

Had some serious tussle with not 1 not 2 but 3 of my friends.Although each one was in separate instances… all of them said the same thing “you cannot just say whatever u like..think before u speak”..I wasn’t abusing and was in anger ..nor i had a intention of hurting them..they were all just statements, sumthing which i said simply and eh yeah.. thoughtlessly.. may be i shud have put some thought before saying things… funny thing i consider myself as a big thinker..stupid me.

So I shut myself for some time,so that i don’t get into trouble.. at least for now (:P)…………………..the more i thought abt it i found something

I could have got angry and thought…

They are stupid
they are rude
they don’t respect my friendship

If I want to look at it positively...i can say

they are listening to me and really give importance to wat i say
they are honest enough to tell it to my face rather bitching abt me with others
they really care & want me to change my negatives to be a better person

Everything happens for a reason… but what reason? its all in the way you look at it…its like the shoe salesman who went to a new city and said with frustration “ there is no market cuz no one wears shoes there” while another shoe salesman went to the same city and came back with glee and said “There is a huge market cuz no one wears shoes there”

I am like the second salesman and see things positively..(but frankly speaking i cant sell anything :P).

"So you are saying this is not a proposal or something like that?" asked OD2

They were all sitting in the Cafe Galactica -OD1,OD2, & HEX1 , the Human Expert who is certified professional in studying human behavior.It is rumored that he was actually trained in earth by living among the earthly mortals.

OD2: but i have seen in the archives ,this is the same words they say when they make or enter a commitment

HEX1:true,but u are taking it in face value.Just because they said doesn't been they are committed to each other plus same words mean different things in different contexts

OD2 : but the context here hold good right? i mean he is a boy she is a girl, both are single ,talk daily.

HEX1: It is not that simple.There are many more variables involved in it.I cannot explain sitting in a coffee shop .You have to study million cases before generalizing.Also i have seen the earlier transcripts and they both have said the same lines to other people too,close entities,biological relations like parents,brothers etc

OD1 stopped sipping his Grande Latte and broke his silence.

OD1: what's your point?

HEX1: they are just Good Friends, Nothing more Nothing less

***********************
"We are just good friends,nothing more nothing less"

DJ said it out loud as if it was a press meet and took a sip of Iced Green Tea. He was surrounded by his friends in Infinitea

"ooo really??" "yeah right " "i believe you man" " "If you say so" " "are you sure?"

His friends responded with many varied answers,but none of them seem to accept what he said.

DJ: i am sure

"hmm ...so how was the date?"

DJ: i told u..it wasn't a date ..i just took her to her aunts place .It was far and she didn't know the place,so i just went with her. It was not like we went to a movie or dinner sumthing

"hmm so u were planning for a movie & dinner?"

DJ: c'mon guys... cut it out

*************************************
6.20 am

The streets were filled with morning mist..Lazy Bangalore was still rolling under the sheets.

DJ was walking as fast as he could..he felt the his heart was pounding "Last time" he thought "let it be the first & last time....no more dating....no more chatting.... just hi ,hello thats it...have enough trouble already"

As he neared the bus stop..he froze.....

DG was sitting inside the bus stop..She was shivering due to the cold air.

Something melted away from his mind...

"hi"
"hi"
"when did u come?"
"15mins before "
"ooh..but u said 6.30 how come u reached soon"
"no traffic na so reached early"

DJ was feeling bad for keeping her wait in this cold.

DG : one bus went sumtime back
DJ: u could have gone na
DG: i was waiting for u
*****
They got in the bus
******
"How is ur aunt? "
" we were talking all night.... didn't sleep at all"
"Sleep now.. it will be atleast an hour before we reach college"
"hmm"
DJ looked at her sleeping peacefully.He kept looking....His mind was calm , there was no rush..it was good feeling .....he remembered how he when he saw his Dear Dolphin ...this was nothing like that... He was sure ... now all his doubts flew away....

DG opened he eyes and saw him looking her.

"what?"

"nothing go to sleep"

"k"

His mind was clear - She trusts me... I trust her...I don't care what they say, what others think..we understand each other..and nothing else matters....
DJ said to himself "We are friends and Come what may we will be best friends forever... nothing more, nothing less"

THE SYSTEM
OD2:the cupids have been deployed
OD1:I can see that…their intimacy levels are increasing
OD2: u look tired may be u need to rest
OD1:Yes but i want to see the initial reactions
…………………….
OD2: this is unbelievable..look at the IFR’s ..we have already level 4
OD1 : i have a feeling it may go even more higher
…………………..
OD2:This is great ……breached level 7
OD1: hmm make sure everything is stable
OD2:don't u feel its going too fast..shouldn't we inform him(info CoV)
OD1:unless it breaches level 10 nothing to worry about
OD2:what if it does
OD1:its highly unlikely..it will stabilize by Level 10
OD2:ok i will take care of this..you take break
OD1: hmm …see that indicator if it goes to yellow be careful ..if it reaches orange call me immediately
it will go up to red also but its highly unlikely
OD2: don't worry i will take care of it
……………………………………….
OD2 was scrambling his pizza ..he loves late night shifts…bcoz it will be very peaceful and only he will be there to monitor the logs.
He was checking the logs of GG..it was rising steadily but did not go above the level 10
………………………
OD1 was in his dorm resting with the slight sound of Buddha trance filling his room.He suddenly got the prompt…its was OD2 “we gotta situation you better come here”
when he reached OD2 was looking pale .He has never seen him like that.He soon got to know why.The indicator was glowing red.
OD1: why didn't u call me before
OD2: i don't know suddenly it jumped to yellow and by the time i prompted you it went to Red
OD1: get me the logs
OD1 looked carefully the logs of GG which records all the interactions between DJ &DG
OD1: wow looks like the cupids are working better than i thought.
OD2:oh yeah, they are on a roll here – Boyfriend , Girlfriend ,u r the best and all the heart ,smiley stuff.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
The indicator went one more level up.
OD2: we better tell him
OD1: Don’t call, just send a prompt
OD2: okay
BBBEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG
BEEEEEENG BEEEEEEEEENG BEEEEEEEEEEENG
OD2: what the ….?
OD1: check the status
OD1 quickly grabbed the intercom called for backup
OD1: This is OD1 from sector 86 . come in Console
Console: Console here, go on
OD1 : need emergency back up,our network is crashing
Console: right away sir ,I will deploy the SRT(System Recovery Team)
OD1:plz hurry thanks.
OD2 was running here n there checking all dashboards
OD1: You are sweating
OD2:really …then give me a tissue…are you kidding me ? what is all this..do something
OD1 smiled like a saint : its an ESS protocol – Emergency System Shutdown.
OD2: ESS? Is it normal?
OD1: its rare , but its internal preventive measure.
OD2;huh?
OD1:don’t worry he won’t screw you .but we have to figure out why the ESS protocol was triggered
OD2: hmm .
OD1: check the final transmission
Since the displays were down , OD2 took a print out of the last log report
OD2: You have Gotta be Kidding me!!!
OD1: what happened ??
OD2:I think we got the reason ?
OD1 cant believe what he was seeing.

Happy Indepedence Day

2009-08-15T12:53:00.001+05:30

THIS IS FOR U

2009-08-07T23:36:00.001+05:30

Yes. This post is for YOU.

Don’t look around …its really ‘U’

so who are you?

You are one of kindest souls who took some time out of your busy life to read my scribbling and I would like to say a Big Heartfelt “THANK U” to stress on how much this means to me.

I met my friend today..I meet him daily and we hangout for 2-3 hrs daily to chat all nonsense..It helps me take my mind off all the stress of work.

Talking about stress , its not my work that’s stressful (because i like what i do) its the people around me who are the reason for my stress.Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying they are causing the stress, its my inability to give proper attention to them which is causing all the stress to me.

I met a friend today and after initial Q’s like how r u? how is work? how is life? etc etc she told “ i keep reading your blog from time time”

OMG!!! I had almost forgot my blog..

I didn’t know she reads my blog and there is good chance that there might be others like her who read my blog occasionally and yet i don't know who they are..

I haven’t blogged for quite some time with lot many things going on around me……

So Am I so Busy? – not really

The ppl with whom i used to talk frequently or with whom i want to talk frequently are busy with their lives and ppl who want to speak to me say i have become so busy with my life (my dad called up one day and wanted a appointment to talk with me – although he meant as a joke I felt very bad)

Truth is I feel something is missing ..like in Stuart Little, he says there is a “empty space” I am not sure what i am missing …may be its my friends ,the daily hi, hellos, genuine ones not like in office as a formality .

i can see my friends drifting apart ,the degrees of separation seems to increase.Yeah i know life’s like that only..but

wherever you go ,whatever you do,i would pray for your well being because you have took your time of your busy life to read my scribbling…

and i cant THANK U enough for that.

When Nature Calls

2009-07-23T20:29:00.001+05:30

No ,this is not about the metabolic activity we all do every day (one thing where no one fails ).

Today, I left office much earlier than my usual time ,didn’t want to hangout with friends (cost cutting ). Anyways i took a Volvo near empty and the FM [at least that still works in my dumb ericsson,Sony is still sound ] played my “color of music”.

I got out the bus with the music still playing

i took a walk along the park

where the sun was still setting,

its funny to see dogs bark

without any sound (headphones)

It started to get dark

i slowly crossed the play ground

the breeze made me to take my headphones off

i heard the birds chirping with glee

as if they were happy to see me

I realized simple things of nature brings

peace to my mind more than precious things

So when natures calls me

i would attend with glee

pls bear my poetic insanity…..

love all (at least try )

DG: chup kar, don't irritate me
DJ:wat did I do?
DG: how can u say that without knowing sumone?
DJ:I didn't mean it that way
DG:i didn't expect this from u
DJ: u didn't understand what i am telling u
DG:huh? i don't want to understand
DJ:wat do u want me to do?
DG: chup kar.. dn irritate me..go disappear
DJ:k

DJ signed off

DG (omg… this guy na.. uff…)

DJ (all girls are stupid why don't they understand.??.)

………..

DJ normally is silent but sumtimes he talks a lot..way over the line and that often gets him into trouble.He fails to understand that sumtimes its best to leave sumthings untold regardless whether its true or right.When there is a problem he want to talk it through and wants closure asap.

DG is normally not silent but when sumone irritates her she just shuts them out.She doesn't want to talk things through but leave the issue.After some days, she clears it off from the table and things become normal again.

As DJ & DG, chatted a lot,misunderstandings started cropping up and since they had different approaches in solving problems the peace process was more complicated than the actual problem.

Every time they fought ,DJ thought “ok this is it..its going to end.we wont talk anymore”.But he didn't want to end it. He gave some serious thinking about wat to do abt the matter and how to resolve it.

DG on the other hand,does not talk to him for a day or two,and then again starts the conversation as if nothing had happened. Her thinking was “friends fight.. so wat?..its no big deal”

DJ will be amazed to see her chat without a trace of their fight.on the other hand he was little disappointed to see her take it lightly while he pondered over it for a long time.

somehow their connection survived..

………..

It was a busy day in THE SYSTEM as usual.

The OPS DUO were tracking all the progress of “Project GG”.It was becoming one of the biggest projects of all time.They were even planning to get it added in the A* list which has dedicated lines.But they have still lots to do to get there.Even though the IFRs were steadily increasing,they needed something to accelerate its pace.

Operations Duo 1:i don't think its a good idea

Operations Duo 2 :do u have sumthing in mind?

OD1: honestly nothing

OD2 : well we have to do sumthing

OD1:yes,but we gotta be careful

OD2:hmm we are in critical position

OD1:i know.He(Info CoV) wants to listed in A*.at the same time i don’t want to ruin the current progress

OD2:Why do u think it will ruin this?

OD1:don't u see the logs?

OD2:i do see their logs

OD1:every time they fight,the IFR fluctuates than their bloody stock markets and there’s no log for a day or two but they do exhibit frequency signals

OD2: u have been going thru their metadata reports.. aren't u?

OD1: yes.. are u not?

OD2: good heavens ..i am not crazy like you

OD1:sumtimes u have to cross reference

OD2:whatever….anyways wats the plan now?

OD1:(sighs deeply)..deploy the cupids..lets see wat magic love can do?

OD2:u just told its not a good idea!!

OD1:I know wat i said..given the circumstances i think we have to take some risk

OD2:wat abt his approval

OD1:actually he mentioned the same idea very early,i convinced him not to go for it.So he will be more than happy to give clearance

OD2: that's y u agreed? now i get it

OD2:U think it will work? i mean will they actually become… u knw?

OD1:no they wont..but it will work alright

OD2:i don't get it..then y are we doing this

OD1:just do it..its like a crash test

OD2:oh…now i get it..

………..

MEMO from Info COV
I hereby approve the deployment of CU-0456-19-86 –code K1 for Project GG and hereby assign OD1 & OD2 as the Task-Masters for this operation

MJ – Dance in Peace

2009-07-12T09:37:00.001+05:30

“Show’s over Boys.Lets pack up”

No I am not one of those reporters covering the ‘MJ Memorial’ the hottest story in town.I am not blaming them either.. that’s their job.I waited for the media hype to settle down. so that i can pay my tribute peacefully and so here goes…

The cameras stopped Rolling

And the cranes came Down

The world went home Sobbing

Leaving the King Alone

One Soul is Lost

And the World feels Lonely

One chance Lost

To see the King in all his Glory

Tonight was supposed to be Thriller Night

But I cant see the Zombies at my Sight

The King has left the Stage

But the traces of his Moonwalk still Remains

You were Right

They Didn’t Care About You

They called You Whacko

Now they are chasing the Ghost of Jacko

I think they have all gone Whacko.

The King wont Rest in Peace

As His Soul was filled with Dance

I could see him from my room

Dancing all night in the Moon

Oh MJ..I wish you be here tonight with us

for the empty stage haunts us

more than your Thriller Ghosts

Our hearts are gone Cold

Only Your music

Can Heal the World

Second Chance by Shinedown:

2009-07-04T20:59:00.000+05:30

My eyes are open wide

By the way I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way I'm leaving out today

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

I just saw Haley's Comet, she waved
Said, "Why are you always running in place?"
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere"

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father I've done the best I can
To make them realize this is my life, I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

A Sunday with Solitude

2009-06-21T15:18:00.001+05:30

(Ben)
2.. 3.. 4
(Amy)
How many times have you told me you love her?
As many times as I wanted to tell you the truth
How long have I stood here, beside you?
I lived through you; you looked through me
Ooo, solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooo, solitude
I can't stay away from you
How many times have I done this to myself?
How long will it take before I see?
When will this hole in my heart be mended?
Who now is left alone but me?
Ooo, solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooo, solitude
Only you, only true

Everyone leaves me stranded
Forgotten, abandoned, left behind
I can't stay here another night
Your secret admirer
Who could it be?
Ooo..
Can't you see all along it was me?
How can you be so blind as to see right through me?
Solitude
Still with me is only you
Ooo, solitude
I can't stay away from you
Ooo, solitude
Forever me and forever you
Ooo, solitude
Only you, only true

thud dud thud dud thud dud thud dud…………………He was running very fast.
uh huf huf uh huf huf uh………………He was gasping heavily.
It was a long and lonely highway.It was dark and the road was wet as if it had rained sometime before.

It was DJ who was running.Running away from the world…. the world which is “full of practicality” Running away from the so called “reality”……As he ran, he could see images of his life passing him, his family , his home, his home town…his school…. his teachers…his first friends…the weird eyed watchman… his classmates…his friends…the temple where he got lost….the small hill he first climbed…..He kept running and the images kept passing on as if displayed on the stores of windows…the people were waving at him…some calling him…some smiling at him…some yelling at him..some mocking at him….he kept running…..
He was running from them…but actually he wanted to run away from him…his life ..his world ..….he had been trying to escape this “reality” but he couldn’t…..
DJ saw a light up ahead in the road he was running….he kept running towards it as it appeared to come nearer to him. He kept running…he could see faces again…faces he would never ever forget….faces of people who love him…care about him..faces of people who showed him the world…people who showed what friendship really is…people who saved him…he kept running.

The light grew closer…interestingly the light was getting dimmer as he got close to it….

….people who bullied him..people who taunted him..people who hated him…people who laughed at him…people who made him cry …people who made him laugh……people who gave him peace….but he didn’t stop….he kept running.
And then he approached the light… he could see the source of light… there was a face too…a face so bright…it was her face….the face that took his breath away…the face that made him speechless…..
DJ has this problem …he keeps running away from his life …even from others who love and care about him….he just wants to run away…not to be ‘tangled’ in any emotional web….but this face stopped him…her face so bright which was the source of the light…
He stopped running…he kept staring at her face….she wasn’t looking at him..but somewhere else….DJ approached her slowly…suddenly she turned and started walking swiftly in the other direction….he started to walk fast…she started to run…he started to run….she kept running… he was closing in on her….he kept running….
She seemed to slow down…he ran even more faster…..suddenly she stopped…and turned back…
DJ couldn’t stop …he ran towards her ….then he felt something different…he felt that he entered into someplace …a vacuum….there was no surface beneath him..it was as if he was suspended in space..she was floating …smiling at him…he gasped..he couldn’t breathe…she floated closer with her arms towards him…DJ extended his arms too…they were close to a connection……
zzzzoooooooooopppppp……It was a sudden pull… a gravity pull…he was falling…..he could see the steep rocks in the sea…he was going to crash……
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGG…………………..

DJ WOKE UP…… he was gasping…his forehead was sweating……he checked the time 2.45 am
He had slept at 12.30 only… “not even 3 hours” he muttered…..DJ got up from his bed…he cannot go back to sleep now.He washed his face and looked in the mirror and wondered how long this will go on..Its been 3 years since he first saw her…his first love…She stole his heart…he didn’t bother..She broke his heart ..he wasn’t surprised…She took away his sleep and from that day he regrets for having seen her.
DJ was hearing depressing songs to ease the pain….LP’s Numb…"I’ve bcom so numb i cant feel u there”..Somewhere I belong …“I wanna heal i wanna feel..i wanna let go of this pain held so long” ..
It was 3.am ..DJ logged on the net..Kevin was singing ‘Great Escape’ in the headphones…
“I was unhappy for so long,
So many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
Not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found…..”
DING!!!!! DJ was startled by the sound as it blared into his ears….
DG:Hellos
DJ (what the hell…os is this??)
DJ:hi
DG: nt slpn?
DJ: no yaar.. woke up jus now..
DG: same here…cold still nt lettng me slp.wats wid u..y wok up?
(DJ didn’t want to tell abt the nightmare he has been having for 3 years…so )
DJ: had a bad dream…
DG: ooooo wat dream tell tell
DJ: u r very excited to hear the bad dream than scared or sad
DG : tell na
DJ : don’t tell anyone
DG: i wont..now tell fast…
DJ: i had a dream that our eco prof was dancing salsa…..
DG: lolzz…so funny…u got scared for that ???
DJ: it was a night mare i tell u
DG: hehe even i had a dream about him once.he was wearing salwar kameez
DJ: lolzz
(after some time)
DG: tell more
DJ: wat?
DG: anything….

And thus they became friends……..

This story is based on some true events, however it has been fictionalized and all persons appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Since the initial conversations showed a serious disconnect between the two,neither of them were keen to converse.While DG still was a Media Junkie (refer Technographics segmentation by Forrester) and continued to chat with her usual chat buddies, DJ was as usual busy crawling the web for more information to add to his “intelligence”.But actually they were utter crap which won’t improve his standard of living (like new habitat in mars,ancient tomb in Egypt,cars that fly,home under water,etc etc) .He had no idea as to how these information is going to help him in his career or personal life.Nevertheless he continue to add this junk to his brain as he believed information is power.

Due to this IFR rates went steeply down
The Info CoV was pressurizing the Ops Duo to prevent the link from breaking. Ops Duo desperate to do something ,but computer viruses were not enough.So they turned to real viruses.They tied up with the Physio guys and planted real viruses near DG’s location.This was done in to exploit the vulnerability in DJ who cares for others, especially girls (actually every guy has it,but its very prominent in DJ )

“AAAACHHHHOOO”
DG almost hit her head on her computer screen. “i am such a fool, shouldn’t have played in the rain and had brownie with ice-cream” she thought. She had been constantly changing her status from headache to itching eyes to cold …then she again updated “in the verge of fever'”.
DJ was observing her status changes…he couldn’t help it……he wanted to ping her..ask her to take rest…his point was “why be online when ur not well??” .He typed hi every time the status changed, but his usual tendency of not to ‘disturb’ others stopped him from pinging her.But after seeing that she is in ‘verge of fever’,he couldn’t take it any longer so he finally decided to ping her.Just when he was about to send ‘Hi’ he was reminded how she pinged him …he quickly retyped …and pressed ENTER
DJ:hellos
DG(what does he want now)
DG:hmm
DJ: y don’t u take rest..
DG (huh? why does he care…)
DG: have to do the case study yaar
DJ:ask ur grpmates to do na..take some rest otherwise it will get worsen
DG(hmm…he is sometimes nice)
DG:hmm but last time i didn't do anything… so i have to do 2 questions in the case study…
DJ:hmm…wat q’s are u doing

“Yes it is….for everyone”
“we have exceeded this weeks target”
“This is just the starting buddy..I have a feeling this is goin to be

Back in earth …
without knowing they are part of a ‘Legendary’ process the geek and the ghost were sleeping peacefully in their rooms.
It was very good night indeed

DJ:Hi
DG:Hi

DG:hey thanks
DJ:its k

DG:got it thanks …but how did u open it..i asked many ppl nobody had it…where did u get this?

DG: huh? wats that
DJ: Open Sesame :P
DG:ooo i thought kulja sim sim :P
DJ:that's for word docs..this was pdf :P
DG:lolz
DJ: :)
DG: I didn't know u were this funny..u seem so serious all the time
DJ: well …appearance’s can be deceptive
DG: hmm
……
DG was surprised to see the funny side of DJ.. “he is not that bad i guess” she thought to herself.
……
DJ was thinking “there u go,one more surprised person.why do people think i am not funny..just because i think a lot doesn’t mean i cant make jokes or be funny..is it the glasses or the geeky image…i don't understand y ppl th…” blah blah blah he kept on bragging abt it…
……
DG was lil bored and at same time irritated…most of her regular chat friends were busy,offline or not replying.Then she noticed DJ online status: busy.
“hmm lets see wat our busy boy is doing” .so she pinged him.
DG:hellos
DJ: hi
DG: wat’s up
DJ:nothing…just watching Seth Godin speech in TED talks
DG(OMG!!! wats wit this guy)
DG: U watch those things??
DJ:yeah sure.. its interesting..y u don't watch? after all we r studying marketing.
DG:no yaar too much of studies :P
DJ:u shud see this its really good..plus sir has given the assignment on this
DG: oh ok
DG(yeah rite ..i shud probably bang my head twice instead of seeing the damn video and chatting with this stupid guy)

DG: my group mates will be doing it
DJ:oh ok
DG:ok then .. bye
DJ:bye catch u later
DG(yeah… u wish..like i m stupid enough to ping u after this)
….
DJ was thinking hard as usual….he scrolled through the chat once again… “interesting..she pinged me..and didn’t ask any favour also”
“who knows… may be she likes me” AND with that thought he suddenly sat up straight and shrugged himself “seriously ..who am I kidding”
DJ continued to watch his marketing video without knowing wat really happened.
……………

Meanwhile …The Info CoV was really pleased with the weekly report. the ops duo were standing relieved to see him smile after along time.
Info CoV : “So the system is in place …looks like its going well too”
Ops Duo : “Yes sir.we r expecting it to self sustain within the next fortnight or so”
Info CoV :“hmm..keep me updated”.
Ops Duo : Yes sir”

SSIMM - Songs Stuck in My Mind

2009-06-07T02:42:00.001+05:30

Fresh:1.After Let it Rock this is the second song by Kevin Rudolf which stuck in my head almost instantly. 2.I stumbled upon Kid Cudi’s day & night –this is one of the recent hip hop songs with good clean lyrics (don’t miss the video).

no video.. just the song

Day'N'Nite (pls double click-embeding disabled)

1 2

Blast from the Past: These are couple of songs which are pretty old,but somehow popped in my mind.3.Dedicated by Linkin Park reminded of LP’s original Style.4.I had no clue about the last song,just knew the chorus,I binged it(very good for lyrics search) & found the info-(East 17-its alright).

with lyrics slideshow

Its Alrite-East 17

Let me know the songs stuck in your head

DEMONS & ANGELS

2009-06-05T00:42:00.001+05:30

If u had only read the book or only saw the movie,u might think I have got the title wrong,But if u have read the book and also seen the movie like me, I am sure you would agree with me.

The movie starts as a sci-fi movie with the CERN and the LHC particle accelerator then quickly turns to a horror movie with a popped eyeball, before becoming a mystery thriller revolving around the mysterious ILLUMINATI.

.Dialogues were really good and lot many times the whole theatre itself went LOL.Since it happens in Vatican ,everyone talks with a European tongue and Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon stands outs as the American Symbologist. Hanks justifies his role,but nothing more than that.His looks are getting older and I seriously doubt whether we will see him in another mesmerizing performance like in Cast Away or Forrest Gump.

Ewan McGregor fits perfectly as the young Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca.Ayelet Zurer who plays Dr.Vittoria does not do much other than just running along with Langdon following the path.Her role is very much underplayed in the movie whereas the book gave much weightage to her character. My biggest disappointment was the terror killer, the Hassassin.The character in the movie was totally different from the book and frankly speaking Nikolaj Lie Kaas who plays the role is neither scary or terrifying but looks like a pissed off nerd wanting to take revenge on the bullies in high school.

The camera goes all around Vatican City and if anyone saw the movie couple of times,they can tell which church is located where in Vatican.I liked the cars in the movie especially Inspector Olivetti’s Lancia Delta.It was refreshing to see Alfa Romeos instead of the usual cop cars .Background score is quite neatly done ,but gets ur attention probably just once in the movie. Editing could have been better as the movie just rushes right from the beginning and does not wait for the shock ,fear, the chill or thrill to sink in.So I suggest it would be better if viewers have an idea of what’s the movie about before watching it.

As it always happens,the story has been compressed to fit the big screen.During compression there is a loss of data,which has happened here also.There are few major changes,like some key characters are skipped or combined into one (cost cutting??).But then where the hell is the fifth sign?? I cant believe they skipped it or… was it edited later to shorten the running time??.

If u have read the story,just forget how good it was when u read it. Because Dan Brown’s novel was Angels and Demons but Ron Howard’s movie is Demons & Angels.If u ignore the difference,then u will enjoy it. Overall its a good movie worth spending time and money to see in theatres.

Watch it this weekend..let the Angels guide you :)

Life’s Good…. :)

2009-06-01T00:19:00.001+05:30

Many at times,I realize things very early or very late,like i will be head over heels,abt spending the weekend @ Home(Madurai) two weeks later,and when I am actually there I will be sad that I have to go to college on Monday.

I am trying to be adjust the time variance between my realization of events and their actual occurrence.Which is why I blog,so i can express my feelings as spontaneous as possible.This brings to this last post of the month where I want to share with you all what I just realized today abt my life.

My Life is actually… pretty Good,Not bad ,way better than expected.Do You wanna know the reasons,as to how i have come to this conclusion? Here they are…….

One:I have completed My Post Graduation in Marketing,first PG in the family, First MBA in Family Group(immediate relatives) and I have done it quite good with 80 % overall

Two:Even though its recession,I have got the job I wished for – Placed from Campus ,In Bangalore in a Non Sales Job (nothing against sales ,the thing is I am not good at it)

Three:Though College is over,I still hangout with my best buddies and I am in touch with most of my good friends.One of them has become very special bcoz I believe this connection has made me more alive and full of life :)

Four:I have started working on my first real job,and have been given a huge responsibility ,bigger than i expected. While some of my peers are in training and chasing targets..I am training others and fixing their targets and I am loving it :) (there is a flipside,i earn less than my peers)

Five : My social outing time has has increased considerably,having more fun everyday,Sleep more than I used to ..(eating is still a problem)..This weekend I went for a movie I been waiting for ..Angels & Demons with my friends (will post the review soon) , I went to Innovative Film City with my Bro and his friends.

SIX : I have started two blogs and kept my promise of posting regularly with good stuff too..

Seven: Sure I had some problems but I have more reasons to smile than to crib about.

Eight : I finally have the courage to bury the skeletons in my closet and move on with life.

Nine : I have realized my Life’s Good in the correct time not sooner or later.

Ten:Last but not least I am alive and in good health ,good enough to blog this :)

I just want to Give a Big Warm HUG to everyone around me and thank them for all their Love and Support.

“LOVE U ALL AND MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU”

The Geek & The Ghost-4

2009-05-30T00:33:00.001+05:30

After the mouse trouble, whenever the ghost had a problem with her lappy (which was very often)she just turned around to the geek who was just sitting opposite to her in class.Not much will be spoken,bcoz first she has no clue about what is the problem,second its usually the same problem and third the geek never says no and like the Hutch puppy is always “happy to help”

“DJ (the geek’s name and henceforth will be used often ) ..its happening again”

DJ: give it to me

(after fiddling with it sumtime)

DJ:”DG (undoubtedly that's the ghost) here take it,its fixed”

DG:”thank you”

DJ doesn't say anything ,just gives a smile and instantly goes back to whatever he was doing.

This went on for like two weeks and the pattern of dialogue continued to be the same.

Meanwhile light years away (FYI,Light Year is a measure of distance and not time)….

Info COV was fuming after seeing the GG weekly report…..

“that's it?? ..no progress??…this is not enough..its peanuts…do you even realize what will happen if this operation fails???..the IFR(info flow rate) levels will be crazy enough to crash the system..you got 24 hrs..better get this started or I am pulling the plug on this operation..AM I CLEAR?”

the ops duo said in unison “Yes Sir”

The two operations executives (ops duo) were in a desperate situation to initiate online contact between DJ & DG.After intense brainstorming in Star-Buks (this is actually located in a star near the Andromeda) they finally got it.

“you think this will work??”

“i am positive”

“we don’t have much time we got only one shot”

“i know..the timing is got to be dead on”

“yes.. they both have to be online”

“most importantly, they should not be present offline in close proximity”

“I will hack the admin mailbox and mess with the file extension..but R U you sure he can fix it??”

“I am positive”

“you better be… bcoz if this fails He’s gonna hyperblast our @$$e$ in cosmic proportions”

Back in Earth………

DG refreshed her inbox for the zillionth time,and needless to say she was damn irritated.She was waiting for the next term schedule which is supposed to come in the mail. Not that she was keen to know classes to prepare her study schedule,but she wanted to see the schedule so that she can plan her trip to home and book the tickets asap.

And finally when the mail came,DG quickly downloaded the file and clicked open……but it didn’t.. "$#!T… why in the hell its not opening”…she tried different things like forwarding and opening in other mails…pinged her online buddies…but everybody said the same…none were able to open it.Then it came to her mind…if anybody could solve this its him…

“DJ dude…. where are you……………”(DJ dooby doo)

but he was not there in her orkut list which meant he was not in her gtalk too…

She went to another guy’s profile who adds each & everybody he knows to his orkut account,not surprisingly, she found DJ in his list and quickly sent him an invite.

Exactly 2 minutes later ….it popped up.

DJ has accepted you request.

Click here to add in your gtalk list.

‘click’

DJ SIGNED ON

DG: “HELLOS”

DJ :“HI”

AND THUS IT ALL BEGAN…

DESI MOM –(hilarious)

2009-05-26T23:20:00.001+05:30

Got this in the mail :) :) - (Thanks Sathish for sharing)

A Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner.....who lives with a
girl roommate. During the course of the meal, his mother
couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's roommate was. She had long
been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only
made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she
started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate
than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, "I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you, She and I are just roommates."
About a week later, the girl came To Kumar saying, "Ever since your
mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver plate. You
don't suppose she took it, do you?" Kumar said ,"Well, I doubt it, but
I'll email her, just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote :

Dear Mother:
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the silver plate from my house, I'm
not saying that you 'did not' take the silver plate .. But the fact
remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Kumar

Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read

Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your roommate, and I'm not saying
that you 'do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she
was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the silver plate by
now under the pillow...
Love,
Mom.

Lesson of the day:
Don't Lie to Your Mother...........especially if she is Desi

Rumbling Rain & Tumbling roads

2009-05-21T21:58:00.001+05:30

Bangalore is a well known city around the globe and often compared with the Silicon valley of USA. But it is also compared with New York for a different infamous reason…traffic.Its a common to hear people muttering “bloody traffic” I remember Dhiru, during his first month in Bangalore had his name in Orkut as “Bangalore Traffic… #@$$#&%$# (he is too decent to swear:p).

Now throw some rain on the bloody traffic and it gets bloodier…actually muddier.Anyways after battling with the horrid traffic ,somehow I managed to reach my place..i was in for huge shock.Just when I thought it was safe..I saw my street gushing with rain water. I wished i had a inflatable raft instead of undergoing the torture of walking through it.If u r one of the poor souls like me who live in a low level area..my kindest condolences to u.

Its not that i don't like rain.As a person who spent my entire childhood in a hot city like Madurai,Rain was a gift to escape the heat.I too have enjoyed the wonderful rainy days, sitting in the porch with family with a hot cup of elaichi tea and sizzling samosas :)……… i miss those days :(

Rain is heavenly.EVEY (V4Vendetta) says “God is in the Rain” standing in the rain while finding her true self. I guess even in Rains some are Good, some are Bad,some are just Ugly..like the one i saw today…

The Geek & The Ghost -3

2009-05-18T22:31:00.001+05:30

It was a fine day and as usual it was classroom filled with boredom.It was so boring,that even the professor was wishing if he could give proxy for himself and go to his cabin.He cursed himself for not having told the students to make presentations so that he could manage a nap while the students try their best to imitate the faculty.

But then he had one more hour in the afternoon,so he desperately wanted to escape from professing before boredom kills him.Surprisingly he got an idea (may be he ate a mentos or something) and told the class to present a case in the noon and gave the remaining time to prepare.This pattern followed in the future also so effectively he reduced his professing time to 15 mins (the first 15 mins he takes the roll call which is the only reason students come to class)

Anyways,after hearing the professor almost everyone left to the canteen.As usual just one or two remained in each group,who usually do the work.Since the Ghost got her lappy for hearing songs, she was given the burden of preparing the ppt. And so grumbling at her fate she started working on it. And something went wrong in her lappy as it usually does and the mouse pad was dead.She tried everything ,even restarted it,but in vain,the mouse was still dead (don't say ewww or aww I am talking about the touchpad in the laptop).So she looked for help.

As fate would have it, there he was sitting alone in the next row,the geek, her saviour, looking at the computer screen so intensely as if he is trying to get inside of it. She thought for a moment ‘should i ask him?’.The geek had a good reputation of being a geek which meant he is good with computers.So she thought “there’s no one better here,so why not ask him”.So she approached him and then it struck her… she didn’t even know his name. But then, she was smart to handle these situations and so simply said “Yaar ,my mouse is not working,can u check it”. The geek as u might have guessed was a big time loser when it comes to girls, almost inversely proportional to his expertise with computers. For a split second , he thought she meant something else,but as she held her laptop towards him ,he quickly dismissed the thought,cursed himself and quickly regained his composure and said “yeah sure”.

Not surprisingly he fixed it and would have been better if he had stopped there. But then he started explaining how did he fix it and what to do if the problem arises in the future.

“You shud try restarting it first”

“I did”

“Oh …if it does not work try rebooting in safe mode”

“Oh ok” (in her mind… “no clue what it means”)

“Otherwise you can go to control panel.open device manager,select touchpad and look for error messages”

“hmm.. yeah will do that” (“what is he talking , is this English”)

“probably u may need to update or reinstall the device driver”

hmm.. sure.. thanks (“just give back my lappy.. u freak”)

Mean while light years away from Earth…..

The two young fellows entered the cabin of the Info-CoV.He looked at them and nodded signaling them to give the status report on mission G&G
“Operation G² was successfully accomplished @ 1300 hrs resulting in initial offline contact”
The Info-CoV smiled and said “that’s good,how was it done?”
“We infiltrated her system and corrupted her cursor controller”
“Hmm..good work both of you.Keep me updated ,btw what’s next?”

“Operation G³ will commence in approximately 48 hrs to initiate first online contact”

To be Continued…..

The Geek & The Ghost -2

2009-05-14T19:26:00.001+05:30

This story is based on some true events, however it has been fictionalized and all persons appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

The Geek spends most of the time online.The first thing he does when he gets up is to switch on his laptop and connects to the world wide web.He is so addicted to the net that many times he ends up staying inside his room all day.He dreams about about jacking himself to the net like in the movie “The Matrix”.He is actually frustrated about the “slow growth” of technology(his friends call him insane for this opinion) bcoz today’s tech still does not allow him to feed and related metabolic tasks online. He is very sure that one day Machines are going to become a whole new race and prevent mankind from screwing up the earth.
Surprisingly, Ghost also spends most of her time on the net. Unlike the geek who does information search and read articles ,she watches movies and listens to songs and chats a lot (she has lot of friends).
The geek hardly chats online,he doesn't like to waste his time taking about stupid stuff and believes 90% of chat time is unproductive.
Convinced by the olive theory, The CoV’s -Controllers of the Verses(universe) ..the so called Gods decided it will be good if they connect G&G, so that the enormous information flow in the system can be streamlined.Later the geek found this and explained it to her..she was like “whatever… dude”.
Anyways ,even though the Geek & Ghost were in close proximity ,they have never spoken to each other and apart from the names, hardly knew each other.So the CoV’s were wondering how to make them talk. It is believed they stole a lot of bollywood DVD’s to plot strategies.
And as always Google came to the rescue,since both were online,the CoV’s got hold of Google Analytics Report of both of them which gave details about their online behavior. After a thorough analysis they found both of them were connected in a particular web service – A novice management trainee put up a nice ppt and presented the result of analysis to the CoV’s - “G&G were always in Gtalk”

The InformationCoV stood up and rested his arms in the large mahogany table where all prominent Cov’s were seated.He then spoke “Gentlemen That’s our In”

To be Continued…….

The Geek and the Ghost –1

2009-05-14T01:58:00.001+05:30

G&G -1
Unlike other stories ,it was not Long Long ago but happened very recently and definitely not in a galaxy far far away but only in Namma Bengaluru.
Like Avril sings "He was a Boy , She was a Girl- can I make it any more obvious"
The Boy is the Geek (he thinks he is one of greatest minds in this universe) and he is proud of it.

He is seemingly quiet ,but sometimes changes his overall persona and becomes a lot more fun usually among relatives & close friends(read girls).For a Geek, he is very cool guy but still remains a geek by default.He was good at Heart and Clean Brain with a pure soul but soon realized ,ppl like him are called LOSERS, so now he is just good at heart ,corrupted brain & a impure soul.But he doesn’t blame the world and insists the transformation was voluntary. He has a Dark & Mysterious side, but never lets it out as he fears it will hurt people around him.Anyways the Geek is a simple guy who is intellectual ,rational ,patient and most of the time dull & boring.U will get to know more abt him as the story goes.

The Girl is the Ghost, as she often whispers“I am ghost” over the phone. Although she is one hell of a girl, she is not a Demon or Evil, but a good natured Ghost like Casper(actually the geek thinks so). She is like the complete opposite to the geek , irrational, stupid,impatient but fun all the time.She laughs a lot, yells a lot,and basically does everything in hyper level…basically she is loud whereas he is subtle.

According to the Olive theory in the sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” where in a couple if one hates to eat olives and the other loves to eat olives , it is considered they are made for each other.In same way the He likes to listen more & talk less and She talks all the time & listens little. So the Universe thought it will be strategic fit between the two and conspired a not so elaborate plan.…

Eat out @ Food Street

2009-05-13T23:52:00.000+05:30

Food Street in V.V. Puram, Bangalore is one busy place which is always swarmed by families.Apart from the lip smacking array of dishes from Butter dosa to American Corn,one of the main reasons is the timings. While most of the darshans& sagars start closing at 9pm ,Food street gets crowded after 10pm.

I just came from food street after a filling dinner with my friends. Food street works for us for a lot of reasons.Its not very far ,not to pricey,good food,and is always filled with people which is a good thing.. u know what I mean :p

For a detailed description of food street, u can check out this article in Hindu

Reached coming up..plzz don’t laugh

DJ was wondering what was that supposed to mean and as soon as he saw her , he knew what she meant.

DJ gasped “OMG”

DG was wearing a sari. He was seeing her wearing a sari for the first time. She wasn’t the DG as he knew her.

Suddenly DJ got reminded of Steve Martin and his movie Father of the Bride. When his daughter walks up the aisle in the wedding dress, she still appears to him as the little girl playing bride. DJ was feeling similarly and he was very much surprised to actually think like that.

DJ thought “wow..if this is wat it feels like …no wonder dad’s cry at their daughter’s wedding”

DG came towards him.

DJ: You look great

In all these days…DJ had never voluntarily complimented her

DG: really? Thanks….but I have to say .u look awful

10 things I learned in Hyderabad

Recently I went to Hyderabad and these are the 10 most important things I learned which I think everyone who is going to Hyderabad should know, but seldom told.

So here goes

People say biryani at least 5 times a day

Biryani is available for breakfast,lunch & dinner – 24/7

People eat biryani at least once a day..unless they are dead

People don't say lets meet for lunch or dinner, they say lets have a biryani together

Not being a hungry is not an acceptable excuse for not having biryani

Its rude to even ask what's so special about biryani.(caution,u may face physical danger)

Impressing a local girl requires extensive knowledge about availability of biryani, capacity to eat more biryani than her and of course ability to afford it.

Its never a pretty sight to see a girl dunk a whole biryani by herself ,no matter how pretty she is (solution-look at your biryani & eat)

Any biryani is best as long as it is made in Hyderabad

BIRYANI.
