The last few days
Empty offices. No calls, thank christ. An impending dead-line seems to have no effect on me. I got to merge a few things tomorrow. I would have normally got very excited, and might have even thrown a few tantrums around. But I just dont seem to get excited about it. Good in a way.
One of the senior architects in our team always asks "how is life?" first thing when he meets someone. No good morning. He just smiles and asks this. I tell him whats up and whats down with work. Till one day when i realised the joke. Halfway through discussing some work, I stopped and said, you asked hows life and i am giving you a status report. He smiled and said almost all did the same and that's a joke he has been enjoying for years.
Wednesday, i shot myself in my foot, quite literally. I disabled the connection on which i was working. And then an angel from US offers to drive down and set it right. On his christmas eve. Well, that guy started it all.The pseudo vacation is going fine.
Thurday, x-mas day, i woke up at 230pm , ate, slept again at around 430 woke up at 830 and i think we saw a movie or was i reading a book ? anyways i slept again at around 12 and woke up the next morning at 9.
Friday, i worked for a few hours, played tt for an hour,worked again, stopped whatever i was doing at around 8 pm, and went to ghajini. Well, the movie was ok. Bhai feels the songs are cool, i am yet to feel it, but with arr, you got to hear the music again and again before eventually you start liking it. What i felt good about the movie (even in tamil) is the way he wants and exacts revenge. I am sure my mom is never gonna read this, But thats one of my primary criteria before getting married. I should be able to physically protect the girl from atleast two persons if not from a bigger gang. Well, you may understand now why i feel i have very little chances of getting married. Ouch, reality hurts.
Saturday, woke up at around 230 again, ate (Full meals at jubilee hills chutney - 110 rs - it was worth it), went shopping. I hadnt really indulged myself this year. I had bought a electic rice cooker and a violin last year, very impulsively.(It all comes swimming in now. I had once asked V to play the guitar. The answer came amidst giggles - "it's a voilin"). And i had also joined violin classes. And i had almost bought a watch for a few thousands. Is it already a year since all that happened?
Well, last new years eve, Me, Cheta and naresh were sitting on top of a core dump. I was sulking and cheta understood. We went to gardenia and then we made naresh drink a couple a pegs of signature and went home. I know, this is kinda turning out to be a year end post, something i had decided to avoid. Me and my decisions!
But somehow i stayed away from it this year (I will wait for arun to say if i missed something). Anyways we three went, bought tt rackets. Set back by 3500 now :( . I hope somebody doesn't ask abdul khaadar-ukkum amaavaasaikkum enna sambandham. :P
Anyways, i damn it on the absence of volleyball players.
Well, saturday continues, I come to office to work, But my partner has already left, probably angered by my 3 hour delay. So i sit there idly because there is no mail from him. And then i watched "A wednesday". Whoa. It was enthralling. I droppped whatever plans i had for work.
And i went home with parcelled chapathis. I had half stopped at the wine shop to make it a perfect saturday. And then i dont know why, i just continued and came home. While taking a dish out of the kitchen, i saw it. A beer bottle that i hadnt opened last week. Well, if destiny had it this way. I had the beer, ate the chapathi, watched football, read for some time and slept.
Now that we are to it, I am reading "a fine balance". Its so far so good. Not essentially a page turner, not much masala, but its nice. (I am really happy about what i am reading these days. I am borrowing both the choices and books from S and V)
And now its sunday, i again woke up late, and came to office. Now there lies a pile of stuff to do. Baselining, building, Testing, merging. I am not starting it and instead made this post bulge and bulge.

the song - the backdrop
Not the greatest song.(though i have a bias for veena)
Anyways, the backdrop is I can no longer hear music online for long periods since b/w usage is being monitored in my company. Thanks to the friendly guy who tipped me off, i promptly closed the window which had been playing to nobody from friday. This is one the few songs i have on my hard disk and i heard it all afternoon.

near who ?
I gave 200 rupees. He gave me back 70 rupees.
Isn't it 60 ?
No answer. It was 22:45. maybe its the night rate.
(Loudly this time) Isn't it 60 ?
Ledhu sir, 65.
From when?
Hasnt it been like this from the past fifteen days or so ?
Ahan, I bought it at 60 yesterday from you.
reluctantly handed me another 10 rupees.
Since you are a regular customer, sir.

astachamma
a direct lift from "the importance of being earnest". The fact that the play was in our fifth standard syllabus might give you the hint of what to expect.
P.S: watch for the heroine swati.

sweets at my cube:
The familiar "I am engaged mails". Raghu was more enterprising with his engagement mail subject. It read - "something something". and he gave some fruits i suppose. He is always the more enterprising of the lot.
Anyways someone said something about life throwing lemons. Sweets are better. So catching them without counting or thinking.
#2:
And i am continuing to have good luck with books and movies. The reluctant fundamentalist was good. And its just a 8-12 hour page turner. So much better.
The bourne supremacy was more light stuff. you know what to expect. Anyways it helped me kill all the time in the trains. I was living in trains that weekend.
And now Twilight is promising. It might end up as yet another M&B. but so far so good.
#3:
And project seven-five has started. More about it later. For now imagine that its a coup at nature, the struggle of a generation.

Infringement
No Nothing about the bombay blasts. My personal(ok, professional) space is being infringed. And i dont know what to do about it.
link from R.Ka - http://www.codecomics.com/
jokes apart, If i dont gaurd my space, i will lose out. If i do gaurd my space, i will be called a non team player. Its a catch-22.
Fuck, why am i so cowardly ? i am afraid to do anything that s not in the books.
And yes, I do have my view, not on the blasts themselves, but on the hue and cry all over the tv, blogs, lunch tables.
There are several cases of ambulances getting stuck in hyderabadi traffic jams or people dying because of lack of medicines. There are so many things like this,lapses, which require no big intelligence, that lead to loss of lives. Because India is a poor country and because some politician couldn't care less and because somehow we never have a system to force this. I understand that living in hyderabad, I have a equal chance of dying of a bomb blast as i do of a road accident or in an ambulance in a traffic jam. Do you think it makes a difference as to how i die ?
I am not an egotist.I have no pride in saying that i am a particular national or relegion. I dont care whether an Indian killed Indian or a pakistani did. or a hindu/muslim scenario or such. I would be more angry on an administrator who lets down his fellow men than an enemy.
we dint have any pride in the way the country was run, did we ? In which case, i feel this sudden outrage in many blogs is vain emotional response of sudden patriotism.

one night at the tea shop :
Nasty jokes doing the rounds. We are seven guys and a lady.
" I am one lady here" - lady protests to the talks.
Cmon, you are not too much of a lady.
(not said : you are in trousers, with seven guys, beyond ten pm, at a tea shop.)
If a donkey is in a stable, it still isnt called a horse.
(The person who had been absolutely silently til now - )
Well, Who is the donkey?
I don't know how funny it is to read this, but it was the classical vaaya koduthu vaangi kattikkara kind of scenario. We enjoyed it.
Kotha bangaaru lokam :
I stopped at 30 minutes. I continued. I stopped again at around 1 hour.
Mudiyala.
jeyam kondaan
Disclaimer : Watching it immediately after the previous mentioned film might have introduced some relative judgement.
One of the best hero characters(and the hero too) from the recent past. I am tempted to say, on the lines of pursuit of happiness.
The movie is a must watch.
P.S : dont get pissed off by the first fifteen minutes. The movie starts after that.

vaaranam aayiram
The movie was good. The negative reviews only helped me to go in with a skeptic mind set and come out satisfied. Had the movie been any less, i would not have been able to watch it alone in a stinking theatre, myself fully drenched from a meaningless 3 km walk in the pouring chennai rains. I just saw the theatre, got that the movie is starting in 5 mins and bought a ticket and went in.
What impressed me in the film was the ninety days, surya, the lucky bastard that he is, gets with the girl. Ok, this, and the whole story as such, is a unrealistic, beautiful world, that we want to believe in.
Sometime back i had written about one young friend (http://odyssey-intoxicated.blogspot.com/2008/10/good-luck-guys.html). We were chatting today and he was going for a booze. I am bothered because he is an ardent surya fan and watched Jillendru quite a number of times. I am almost sure he must have liked the anjala song (Setting : Surya is a broken heart and the whole song is about him drinking and dancing kuthu"). Even i liked it. Even as i was watching it, I longed for a cigarette. The song is good, and awfully well placed. It compulsarily evokes a emotional response.
So did "ennai enakkae pidikka villai" in autograph. And for me, "poomaalai vaangi vandhaan" from Sindhu bhairavi. There are innumerable good songs of this genre.
But this trend of showing drinking and drugs as a solace to the broken heart is dangerous.
Verdict - watchable. If you are still skeptical, come out after the anjala song.
P.S : guess what the label means ?

one of those posts
that you shouldnt read if you are in a good mood or not a pervert.
when you start looking through the political schemes in work around you, you get liberated. You no longer feel that you are cheated. Because they no longer surprise you.
I give in only cos i am too bored of conversations/arguments that are so artificial, the other person even may know that you know that he is not talking from his heart. maybe he doesnt realise that you know all the while what he is talking about.
Its at the same time demotivating. It makes me want to ditch work, cos I know I am being paid less, lets not spell out than what.
One part in me has been saying that quit and get lost. Other part says that stay and solve the puzzle.
i would be happy if i am given the same work with minimal chances of facing humans, very less interactions with anybody. Anyways let me try for another three months to whatever levels i can. Lets see.
back ground thought:
There is this movie, I dont know if i blogged about it before - A young girl, of about 10 or 12, has a habit of making diary entries. She is neglected by her busy parents, and is taken care of, pretty fondly at that, by a nanny. The nanny even takes the girl with her on movie dates with her boy friend. One fine day, this diary gets into the girls class mates hands. They find nasty entries about almost everybody. Sarcasm dripping entries. Her best friend finds a few targetted at her. Not sure what it was, but do remember that it was very hurting. She loses all her friends. Word reaches nanny and she too finds not so nice entries about herself. her boy friend, her relation etc. The girl apparently has taken a opposite-of-rose eyed glasses view on everything. Tbe nanny is sad. She quits.
The film, not sure here, ends with saying that the girl went on to become a successful writer.
Anyone knows this film ?

May be
maybe it was the beer. may be because it was late in the night. maybe bcos i have started watching movies after quite some time. I am feeling good about whatever movie i watch.
I felt good about Fire.
Chetan today gave the ramayana connection to it. I knew that there is this urmila virah epic thats supposed to be good. But then i completely missed it when i saw the movie.
All that i noticed was nandita das was too good. maybe it was her first film.

The song has pure tamil lyrics. Not very uncommon. But rather uncommon in a fast paced song, right?

Vishnu : Ok. eppadi ivlo seekiram kelambittenga?

side tone(arun) : happy birthday
me : oh, arun wants to say happy birthday to you.
vishnu : ada paavi...
Anyways, I will not be able to take chicken biriyani for a few more days. Not after Sorna's yesterday afternoon.
Damn you Vishnu, Why dont you get a birthday more often than a year ?

Vishnu : Ok. eppadi ivlo seekiram kelambittenga?

mot annual day - contd
Ok, and so as expected, we went to drink.
cut - A bit of context
within our room mates, we have a very loose sense of money. we go to a hotel, if somebody has cash, he pays. If somebody doesnt he almost always offers to pay by card. And we do try to equal out, but nobody really cares. Well, once when i needed big money, i got a blank cheque from one and what was his current balance.
Cut - back to yday.
We had a couple of pegs and then this guy immediately offered to pay. I offered to share half. Immediately the third person in the table gave a huge thing on how they never shared, but only one person always paid. This guy is pretty close and we drink together often. But the person paying - this was my first time we came together and probably the last. So i politely said what i thought - i may never get a chance to pay for you again. The third person is still cooler and tried to solve the problem by saying "oh bud, we need to plan another pretty fast now". I thought it was over. Well, my friend(lets call him that) again started giving fundas about paying and things. Now cmon, we have been through such stages. I tried to tell him the story(the first cut) to drive that there is nothing wrong with sharing. I tried. He was like "oh, thats your room. but here ,," . I cut him there with a bad word as i can do only when i am drunk and told that "i dont care what he talks and i wont listen". I think he should have come back to senses and was trying to say the same things in a more formatted format, and i kept saying my above sentence. And then the guy told me that he wants to stay back in my home. one part in me, maybe the childish one, wanted to say " now that you subscribe to a different school of sharing philosophies ...". I stopped and i said he could. I thought not linking relationships to sharing bills was just a maturity which this guy hasnt yet come to.
But later when he told me he was thinking whether to go home or come with me, i said "suit your convenience." he dint come. I under estimated him. just keep it up and we will be fine.

within our room mates, we have a very loose sense of money. we go to a hotel, if somebody has cash, he pays. If somebody doesnt he almost always offers to pay by card. And we do try to equal out, but nobody really cares. Well, once when i needed big money, i got a blank cheque from one and what was his current balance.
Cut - back to yday.
We had a couple of pegs and then this guy immediately offered to pay. I offered to share half. Immediately the third person in the table gave a huge thing on how they never shared, but only one person always paid. This guy is pretty close and we drink together often. But the person paying - this was my first time we came together and probably the last. So i politely said what i thought - i may never get a chance to pay for you again. The third person is still cooler and tried to solve the problem by saying "oh bud, we need to plan another pretty fast now". I thought it was over. Well, my friend(lets call him that) again started giving fundas about paying and things. Now cmon, we have been through such stages. I tried to tell him the story(the first cut) to drive that there is nothing wrong with sharing. I tried. He was like "oh, thats your room. but here ,," . I cut him there with a bad word as i can do only when i am drunk and told that "i dont care what he talks and i wont listen". I think he should have come back to senses and was trying to say the same things in a more formatted format, and i kept saying my above sentence. And then the guy told me that he wants to stay back in my home. one part in me, maybe the childish one, wanted to say " now that you subscribe to a different school of sharing philosophies ...". I stopped and i said he could. I thought not linking relationships to sharing bills was just a maturity which this guy hasnt yet come to.
But later when he told me he was thinking whether to go home or come with me, i said "suit your convenience." he dint come. I under estimated him. just keep it up and we will be fine.

mot annual day - contd
open floor - everybodys dancing. And then this lady(a friendly,sisterly tamil lady) pulls me in. She dances. Everybody seems to be able to shake a limb. My one other tamil friend (tamils are the worst i have seen in dancing so far, in these colleges and companies ,they seem to me the most conscious) - even he is kuthu-fying. slow tune ? slow kuthu. fast tune ? same kuthu fast. hindi/telugu/tamil? kuthu. i mean, if you know, almost all tamil guys can at the least do this kuthu-dance. There is a genre of music called kuthu-pattu. I tried. I couldn't. The mot-asia head and indian head are dancing. Like you raise your hands and then start standing on one of your legs alternatively. Well, they atleast did that.
I stood in one side and clapped nodding my head , what i thought was, rhythmic.

Food keeps me going -
Its only afternoon, and I have already had two meals - one at 9 and other at 1. and looking good for a third. Some work also done. This day seems to be working out. Infact i liked the cafe nandini vada so much that i thought about changing my gtalk status message to "food keeps me going".
arun keeps going -
And i had actually bought a couple of extra dosas and vadas for the guys at home. Arun came out of the bathroom and was ironing out his shirt. I was just then having my morning cigarette and reading paper. Arun offered to drop me as he anyway will take time for eating the dosa. I was worried that i had to drop a just lit cigarette. So now i continued. And then arun went to kitchen to pick up the dosa. It wasnt there. The maid had disposed it thinking that it was the previous days'. And then i entered the bathroom to wash my stinking self. And then arun started to office.

music review:
I wondered if the producer or the director went to the music director with a happy days music copy and asked him to clone the feel. I liked most of the songs, yet most of them made me feel that I have heard the tune already. Maybe its only me.
Note : The song posted is not necessarily the best of the lot.

Even if you are rajni, isn't there a time to beat up baddies ? Just before the song, shreya is in a white saree and all that.
Damn your sense shankar.

Born anew
And how do you think this init is triggered ?
This is not mentioned in the arch doc , But i suppose(now the look on the face is like - oh i am more resource-ful than the arch doc) , It should be triggered from one of the rc scripts.
A good silence. Its the start of a presentation and I am floating that I have things under control. contrary to all expectations before the presentation.
And then some body says " But this is VxWorks."
somebody else "rc scripts are more a unix concept."
somebody else "in Vxworks, you probably get a starting trigger when user processes can start"
mmm. I come back to senses.
I continue. I drag on and on in a monotone. Its about to end. A discussion shaped up. I have left myself out. Why in heavens ask me to present on a topic on which you claim you now have four experts in your team.
And then suddenly i get this flash. I open a notepad and start noting down the open questions. Methodical compensation for technical incompetence.
I have missed one of them. I ask the crowd for it. And who is this new beautiful thing that answers ? you blink and ask again. She frames the question into a sentence. you make a note in the notepad and another in your mind that you should smile at this girl the next time you cross in the corridor. Damn, they should have told me yday that this thing is attending.
And then somebody thinks there should have been a presentation. read presentation as ppt. My temper is gone. My voice is a bit angry when it answers.
I think that i feel naked. technical nudity. unfortunately not beautiful. Its vulgar. Its disgusting.
I come back. to ph 7.
There is a another thought. I am a new born since i am naked.
I cut the thoughts out and attempt to make a funny post out of it. It turns out to be a over dramatised, cynical view of a small thing. Thats what you have been reading so far.
P.S :
Kutty, I know.

His phone started ringing. He continued to look at her without picking it up. She continued to pack. The phone was still ringing. Somebody was determined to make siddhu pick up. She turned towards him again. He let it ring and kept looking at her.
This was all too much for kavitha. She couldn't bear all this drama. Only she knew that there was no drama.
She was the one who couldn't keep it inside this time. She asked
"Why?"
Just then the phone started ringing again. Siddhu looked at her for a few seconds thoughtfully. And then he picked up the phone.
"Yes. yes sweetheart. you come over. come over with your things. no cleaning. The house is ready.right now i have an old friend with me. ok. i will call you once i am done here."
Kavitha smiled at him, turned and picked up her things and started walking out.
------------------------------**************************************----------------------------------------
Sid's phone rang again.
Yes Vinodh.
What were you blabbering when i called you last?
Nothing much. Just trying to make my girl friend J. Did you call for something or was it a casual call ?
It was casual. How is kavitha ?
good. Of-late great infact.
mmm...

She kept looking at the poster above his bed. It read "today is the tomorrow i promised you yesterday." boldly and then in a corner there was a scribbling "but where is the you?"
She hadn't realised Sid coming in. he was also looking at the poster.
She silently continued to pick up her things. He just chose a corner and sat in and sunk into a paper. He was running his fingers through his hair as a matter of habit. It had been cut short. she drifted back.
The only good thing about your long hair is that no stupid girl on earth would think that you are attractive.
Thats why i sometimes wonder if you were originally from heavens.
She was looking at him and smiling. She realised that he was also looking at her.

Clothes are pressed
Siddhus phone rang. It was an unknown number. But he had a premonition. He picked up.
Hello ...
Hi Sid
The Sid was a strain. It was painstakenly made devoid of love or enthusiasm. It was kavitha. She had called him from a booth. It pained him, that she should have wanted to hide her new number from him. He thought about times when he was her protector against anon calls made to her. He thought "hero turned villian". His face finally showed a smile even as he thought that he could think about catch phrases even in such situations.
"Hi Kavi" . The voice had love.
I want to pick up a few things from home
Sure. you still have a key.
Yeah.
...
I just wanted to inform you.
Not a problem.
Bye
take care.
Kavitha had a strange feeling as she stood in front of the house. That it might engulf her in and never let her out. But she had to get out. She knew she will. She had already decided that her relationship with Sid was over. The cons had outweighed the pros. She thought that had she been Sid she would have said "Done and over" to the gate now. Sid had to tell everything out. to someone. He said it kept him light. "damn your lightness" she said aloud this time.
She went in. First thing was the dresses. She had always kept her clothes neatly pressed. While Sid had always kept his' in a pile. out of which he never chose one out of choice but only because something was on top of the mound. They had fought a hundred times over this. He never did it. He had a way of talking her out of it. She was the neat angel. He was the ugly angel. And then he would say "ugly angel, oh yes, still an angel" and he would hug her.
She opened the cupboard. All the dresses were neatly folded and pressed.

trial, together.
we went to this clothes shop. me and my friend. We were the only customers in this small shop.
we chose a sweatshirt. my friend wanted to try it. So he took it and went into the trial room. And then before closing the door he called me in.
Now, I know this guy. He as usual had impeccable logic on his side. If he goes in alone, he has to go in, latch the door, try it, unlatch, come out and show me, and then go back in, latch again , unlatch again and come out. If i go in, the latch-unlatch is only once.
Anyways i also realised the implications of a guy calling another into a trial room. I anyways went in with him.

Good luck guys
I have this two young friends - one is slightly younger than me, and the other is a real kiddo. These guys talk to me about some issues now and then. By virtue of having faced my share of quarter life crises, i sometimes give free gyaan to these guys.
The kid has the worst of the problems. The classic "I like a girl, but things are not proceeding" thing. I listen to him, and when he asks something, i sometimes can't resist giving a piece of my mind. I mean at 26, I have come across a few likable girls . But then i realize that any advice would only be just that - advice.
So conclusion is people in love don't talk to you about it for anything. They just want to talk about it. I mean i have known this all my life, but the realization dawned only recently.
So even when he is really down like " my life is a waste without her" , i don't comment on it and i ask something off-context like about the girl, or the times they spent etc. It actually puts a smile on his face.
I sincerely wish these guys good luck in their current concerns.

Random #1 - yeva ava ?
we went to lunch with a north indian friend. After lunch, we were generally talking, when he excalimed whether south india was more affected by the films. I dint refute big time. Infact none of the three of us tamils did.
Later in the evening we were going in an auto. The auto was playing "pettai rap" telugu version. The song starts with this "aa aaah, aa--aa-aa--aah" (you must say it like a crow). The young auto driver started doing the crow along with the song.
Now my north Indian friend substantiated his claim with a "look, i told you". I dint want to refute that either. Such kind of topics are interesting debates but only if you have some passion left in you. I really dint. Not for a topic like "which part of india is most affected by films".
So i started giving some history. "Its a kinda cult song you know. There is this bharatnatyam class going on and the hero and his friends do this mass dance in front of it to irritate the heroine who is in the bharatnatyam class. I think you know nagma, you know right ?. she is the heroine. ,,,"
I noticed that the girl sitting in the other corner of the share auto was listening intently. I realised that she might know the context. anybody in tamilnadu or andhra does. I stopped abruptly. My friend should have thought "Duh, Is this a reason for a cult song ?"
I dint complete the story after we got down from the auto.

mumbai meri jaan
Not able to come to any decision about the movie. Whether i liked it, whether it interested me.
I liked kay kay menon in the film. I liked him in metro too. And soha ali khan isn't exactly , errr...., lets say exciting
Proabably these are not the sentiments to share in the wake of recent delhi blasts.
P.S : Random thought: If you are in the vicinity of a blast or a building collapse, how many people will you be able to pull out ?

Anyways, let me just say that its been eight years since that date.

A matter of choice
A story read long back in anandha vikatan or kumudham.
He has a unnatural knack. He could identify things that were different.
When he saw the one lottery ticket that was going to win the prize, he sensed it. He bought a lot of lottery tickets, He always won. He started trying his hand at number locks. He could very easily open any safe vault. He always succeeded in finding the pass code.
He became famous. He was arrested.
He argued that it was his special gift and he had merely used it. Judge was rather amused and offered two choices considering the un-natural gift.
He could take a ten year sentence. Or,
There would be ten thousand guns outta which one is empty. The culprit would choose the gun with which he would be shot.
He chose the latter.
He was pretty tense when he saw the ten thousand guns lined up. He started analysing one by one. His confidence returned. He felt like choosing a lottery ticket. He came to the gun. He could feel it.
They shot him with the gun.
The judge was sad. It was the only one loaded.
Some choices end like this. I wonder if god, like the judge, goes sad when such things happen.

brethren of bad breath, I salute you.
It was a beautiful day in hyderabad, with the rain gods granting liberally. I dint have a camera in hand. Near gachi bowli signal. The less used right turn, with open fields on both sides. dark clouds above, not yet opening up. cyber towers signal. Rain lashing, wind pushing it into a arc near the ground. Office. I parked and went to the smoking zone.
I have been waiting here for a matchbox for the last half an hour.
oh !? Is it? no body came?
And no body came to smoke. I caught hold of a few passers-by. They told me that they were non-smokers.
:) light?
No. I finally got it just now.
oh ok.
Actually today the weather is good.
yeah. Its a nice weather to smoke. Would you want another cigarette ? (Offers a open pack)
No. Actually i have quit smoking. But today i wanted to smoke because of this weather.
Probably the cosmos are trying to keep you from smoking again.
(doesn't listen to the previous sentence) No. I have smoked like less than ten cigarettes in the last one year.
Oh. Thats great. I mean if you had been a serious smoker before that, this is very great.
I used to smoke a minimum of two packs per day.
Wow. Then this IS great.
Yeah. I save a cool 100 rupees per day.
and your health.
yeah. That health consciousness is there too.
:)
And i am durga prasad.(offers his hand)
I am ramakrishnan.(shakes hand)

oppurtunity areas
We have mid year appraisals(but no hikes) to review performance and progress. My manager made some sweeping statements
My more-than-one-hundred bug producing feature wasn't mentioned. He noted that it was a good contribution in the project overall and dint touch the specific feature as a subject.
At the same time, i had transitioned a whole project over to a china team. I hadn't written more than a few hundreds of lines of bug fixes for that project. But i transitioned. I knowledge-shared on open-source code. He thought that was ok performance.
I told him i ate snake in china for one month for the projects sake. He told he was a vegetarian. and he was in a village in ireland for 2 years. ok.
I told him several other things. He had noted down some opportunity areas. Business communication because I cant talk US times when i fix appointments. I confuse him cos i tried to explain things. so he goes on and on.
I opposed everything.
He accepted everything.
He removed all the negative feedback to which i had objected.
I had gone with an intention to fight. I wanted blood. There was no fight. He won by coolly saying ok to everything i said.
At the end, he said " you should take things more coolly, This is one other opportunity area.".

vinaayagar sadhurthi story
Its vinaayagar's happy birthday. of-course. But then on one his birthdays he ate so much kozhukattai/modhak/sweet-balls that his already big belly was bigger than usual. So he goes for a ride on his mouse-vaahanam. and suddenly a snake crosses the path. rat is scared and jerks causing vinay to slip and fall down. And hahhaha, his stomach bursts and all kozhukattais fall down and scatter. And tops, he picks them up and stuffs it again into his mouth (don't remind me that his stomach has burst open. Think of it like the mercury body of terminator villian. And he is god.). Funny ? atleast thats what the moon thought. And it giggled its heart out. But vinay is hero, not comedian, so he doesn't like all this giggling business. And he curses moon that nobody will ever see the moon on his b'day else ill-fate will befall them too. Ofcourse, he being a god and a good god at that, he added clauses to escape punishment for non-compliance. So don't bother too much, o.k?
P.S:
we had our own mouthfulls of all kinda stuff at Lak's place even as we were told this story.

alice in wonderland
Well, our hyd chief quit yesterday. There was a town-hall to announce this and it was difficult for him. He had joined as a fresher and had stayed back for 17 years.
I don't attach any significance to this. We have seen bigger people quitting in the last one year. And i don't work under him anyways.
But then i do remember the first time he talked to me. It was our orientation session just after joining. His topic was careers in the organization. And he quoted this :
Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
The Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to
Alice: I don't much care where.
The Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go.
Alice: …so long as I get somewhere.
The Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.
if you are still wondering, thats from "alice in wonderland".
And i think that was a very opt quote.
In-fact the whole book,claimed to be a children's book is full of thought provoking quotes for adults. And IMHO, it is the most ideal book, if you want to story tell a kid, like read five pages out, close it out, and then continue tomorrow - you know, i have been read hardy boys like that.

28th August 2003
They say you shouldn't trace rishi moolam nadhi moolam. Well, here's mine.
I was not yet 21 then. It was a holiday, i dont know on account of what.
Me,cock and Mugundhan went to IMS pillayar koil. Thats one of the most beautiful temples you would see. A single simple room with a statue and some place around it to do the rounds. All this set in the sidelines of a medical college. We used to go there as more of a peaceful get-away than to pray or anything.
So we went there and were coming back. We were about to enter our hostel. And then i wanted to buy a toothbrush. That proved, err, lets say, impacting.
I walked till NMB to get the brush. these guys were standing there. jagan and co. The famous super-deuce on their way to thendral. I was tempted. I joined. We went to thendral. I think i had some gin from ajay, some whiskey from someone, half a glass of beer,a sip of wine. we poured gin into jaffer's sprite. He found out.
i dont remember what else i had. I only remember saying the now legendary 'nalla irukkuda" a couple of times.
I think we were left with around 150 rupees. The quota was ten rupees for dinner and the rest for journey back to hostel. I am not sure here, but i think some cab-wala picked us up for whatever money we had.
Life has been different ever since. A lot of convictions shattered and new ones created.
But then we were a bunch of people who dint drink to crib about lost loves or work woes. we dint even rant about our marks or placements. Those were real care-free days.
happy birthday jagan.

disturbed
by this
Cant really say that I don't have an opinion on this. so here goes.
do i stare ? yes, i do. I believe, more than half the men do. pass comments ? again, mostly yes. Some try to hide it. from the target. due to decency or a pretense at it.But the inner thoughts seem to be the same.
well, What should a girl do when something like this happens. just bear it, act totally ignorant and carry on?
It happens everyday. I know it happens in my office. behind a shield of personal small talk or an innocuous joke, but the suggestions are sometimes very obvious.
many just shrug it off.
Wise. failing to acknowledge seems to be the best way.
otherwise :
suppose the offender was a serious criminal with serious intentions, that's a different problem. But what if he was just a fool acting under some impulse. well, i would prefer if these latter aren't rubbed the wrong way, turning harmless/foolish men into serious criminals.
The best way seems to not attract attention at all in first place. This might mean having to wear boring clothes.not trying to even talk loud. not walking alone. All this might seem like going back ages. but then, accept that we are not yet out of those ages.
it might be one case out of a 1000. of girls being targeted. but when that one happens to be you, or your near ones, it hurts.

A cynic gotta have a blog.
somebody types out a nice mail, so nice that it almost like a over sweet semia-paayaasam. so you start doing a reply all and type in "nice ;) very nice". But you are not sure the point will be got. Else, the person will seriously hate you. so you close the mail. thank god, you can put these things in your blog and just presume that the person will never time-ily read this bit.
