Maanga jo mera hai
Jaata kya tera hai
Maine kaun si tujhse jannat maang li
Kaisa khuda hai tu
Bas naam ka hai tu
Rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali

Those were the days

Yennai naan arivaen,

Oops

mmm. i forgot another birthday today. its my younger cousin's. He must have just disabled the notification on orkut i suppose. I remember it showing up some
time back. A way to see who actually remember? Anyways, he pinged me dutifully to get wishes.
Well, its just not worth to try these things and get disappointed on your birthday, or is it ? so , unless you are sure of yourself... I mean, we got tools today, and we are all really busy, aren't we? (I remember replying to one's birthday alarm mail saying that as a principle i don't believe in these and that one will remember if they care.)
I just recently forgot TJ's first wedding anniversary. Upon which TJ reminded that it
was pavi's birthday two days later. I again forgot it, but thankfully TJ again called up and reminded.
Just before that, this is the worst of the lot, I forgot Nikhil's wedding till 11. Wedding was at 1130. I never made it.
I almost forgot arun's birthday. I just din't realize enough to wish vishnu on his wedding anniversary. I just remembered the treat.
Well, its quite some time now that my parents and sister call me upfront and inform me of weddings/birthdays so that i can wish them/others. And my sister gets offended the most. Oh, cmon. I am sorry all the same, but i never meant any offense.

odum megangale

oorellam thoongayilae vizhithirukkum en iravu.

cant help thinking about the song because i am working now, and its sunday almost 12. no, i am not the busiest/most overloaded person on the earth. I have my reasons,
but still it sucks.

its not good anymore.

Well, i have a meeting today at 730pm. So i might not be able to play today. Tomorrow there is that party at Taj, which i wil anyway not attend cos i have another call lined up. Well, I think thats it. my volleyball playing days.

truly inspiring

"comprehensive victory" said rizi.
well. I will give it to him. It was. It has been like this for quite a while. There are very few instances when i last won a series against him.
But to think that this guy, just before a few years, used to paddle like a starter does, while i had already passed all those stages. Well, to get that dialogue(or rather
monologue - my response was tame in the sense there was no conviction in it.)
from him was truly inspiring.

Rizi, I know you will read this, and I will wait for your comment.

verbosity

what is a nightly build?

R Ramakrishnan-a22686 [5:58 PM]:
There is a dev int branch - everybody should merge their work into the dev int after it is complete
R Ramakrishnan-a22686 [5:59 PM]:
and SCM will set config spec to pick up this branch and will build the whole pkg
R Ramakrishnan-a22686 [5:59 PM]:
so this bld will contain all the merged changes - more than one CR

SO its just a build with all the recent updates!!!

R Ramakrishnan-a22686 [6:00 PM]:
yeah

ok

What the fuck

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.

for God's sake

YOU shouldn't have been her namesake.

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.

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.

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.

motorola tech day/annual day

Probably the last as an unified company. Else Sanjay Jha is a failure.
Feels bad.

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.
