Till now

Been like what — half an year now sine i came here ..

Well ..I dunno how to start again and so thinks its better as if i have been writing even yesterday and that I am just continuing like another twitter post !.. God ..So many people have joined twitter .. and some blame it for not allowing more than 140 chars ..

1.Most of Indian techno crowd don’t see a difference between a netbook and a notebook/laptop for that matter. And many a firms are exploiting it .
2.The new rule from RBI landed me in trouble when i booked a ticket online in PVR . The way the booking works in PVR , you are required to swipe the card to get the tickets booked against the card . I was sure something ugly is going to happen. As i expected , “ No Bookings found for this card “ . Approached the PVR admin there – Alan ( I suppose ) — and he was quick to admit the flaw and said they are looking into it. And thanked for pointing it out when he understood the situation . Lesson learnt : Book using your debit card / if you have to use your CC , be sure to reach the cinemas atleast 30 mins before so you can avoid the hassle
3.Left Orkut !
4.Been using twitter client on Iphone ( Twitterific) for nearly a year now. And the last few months saw a huge shift of number into twitter among the faces i recognize through internet.
5.The Iphone is still alive though i still wonder how much more it can take in my hands
6.Been getting marriage invitations like pamphlets for that new restaurant which opened near your house. Having said that , any one staying near to HAL , there is an Onam special festival in Malgudi till Sept 6th
7.Terry & Lamp gave a scare nearing the start of the season. The new formation is a bit confusing to all , as the pundits say . Saw a screamer of a goal from the Cote’ De Ivoire Captain against Hull ( was it Hull ? ) at the 92nd min
8.The giants from Anfield have already lost two !.. What the heck
9.Alienware starts @ 1.49 lacs ( my b’day is nearing . Any one wanna present ? )
10.Running only Ubuntu now. The only problem is with importing songs to my Iphone. Using sis’s lappie for it .

an effort to see something different -which failed

Blues :(

Lost hope (.)

Count Your Blessings

It’s a daily routine for us couple of friends to have a cuppa around 11:30 everyday and today was no different. Me and Anil were contemplating on our fate and the way we were getting paid and similar stuff. We certainly did a round of blame on all our supervisors and managers and the others in the heirarchy in the organization. ” Oye , Wo rassi dekhna thoda ” . The voice was a bit bleak and only then we realised that we were standing on a piece of rope which was heading out into the air , towards the outside portion of the building. What could this be now ?.

After a few minutes there emerges a hand followed by a lean body with a shirt which was literally torn and had paint all over it. The condition of his trousers were no less pathetic. We understood his name was Ram as he was being called so by his friend who was helping him with the rope. He gets off the slightly projected portion of the building and stands there for a sec or two , basking the glory of the sun above him though the cold breezes surely hit his diminuitive figure. He is one step away from falling into the ground. As we stare at him with amazement he smiles at us and moves on to untie the rope that was held on to a metal pipe- his only resort to safety.

Its 2:30 pm and we had our lunch and we went to the same place where we could easily see half of bangalore as if we watching some business presentations – bar graphs and similar sort. . A voice calls out . A voice that’s familiar and we look around and we see the rope lying a bit away from where it was earlier. He has moved on to the next portion of the building.In that situation , thinking of that kid in the blazing sun with a small rope as his safety measure was too much for both of us. And we feel we are in a fix while sitting in that chair of ours discussing about new policies or new trackers we need to fill . I started feel these words echoing ” Count your blessings “.

Phew …Pensioners move on

Scholari may claim Anelka to be the Blues’s No:1 , but every Chelsea fan has a different choice – Didier Yves Drogba Tébily. As Macca said ” that man adds something special to Chelsea’s lineup and he goes after the ball rather than wait for a decent cross from the likes of Cole(s) or Bosingva.. “.. He has a flare which lights up the whole team and it was evident when he returned yesterday with a Bang. Scholari is gonna have tough times ahead when half of the team want Drogba in most of the time and he can’t get over Anelka .

And yeah , Chelsea moves into the Knockout stage of Champions league .
