hare krisna..

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare


..the devotees who thronged the Krisna temples' on the occasion of HIS birthday was a sheer pleasure to watch and heed to that lovely four-liner which has always given me utmost peace and satisfaction at times of stress. Indeed a true stress-buster!! As its been truly circulated by H.E Chaitanya MahaPrabhu, that Lord Rama and Lord Krishna would engulf the whole world with THEIR blessings. Hope every individual on this planet is embraced with joy,happiness and satisfaction. Another good thing about this holy month of Shravana, is that every other day who will have varieties of savouries waiting for you when you hit back home.

The weekend would have been really sultry, but for an ultimate stunner in the Ashes 4th Test. Ladyluck was truly swinging across !! perseverance of england tailenders really paid off. Nice to see aussies being nailed back. Hope the English finish it off and take back that little urn to Lords. Waht a pride moment it would be for the English Cricket, which had reeled for almost a decade in the 90's. Good to see glimpses of Ian Botham in Freddie Flintoff, this yorkshire-guy would be the player to reckon in 2007 WC with his swing-bowling. He has truly haunted aussies this season with his art of reverse-swing. As one of the English Supporter put it
across : "The World says F**K OFF, we say FLINT-OFF".

One more old building hit with the aftermath of huge torrential rains in mumbai. Hope this chain of tragic events is curtailed at the earliest on a war-footing.

Have a wonderful week ahead ... Bingo..

journey goes on..

Enroute to my dwelling place yesterday, noticed a ruck near the crematorium, who had gathered to bid farewell to their loved one. Memoirs of m friend when her dear ones separated, used to utter "People meet to have memoirs, they bid farewell to relish on those". May hold good here too, albeit the person bid a finale adieu.

To be frank, "Death" has always brought in a sense of fright in my nerves,basically the affright of the stature of me after death. Every other soul which departs after finishing its journey in this extricate world of joy & sorrows has to come back, but the result of reincarnation always remains a mystery. m being a firm believer of death, urged every system should shut-down after performing its duties. Now if that system gets rebooted or not, has to be decided in the way it was brought down.

Life and death are always divine, but the journey in-between is what makes an individual. During this journey, (s)he may keep-on loading softwares(Karma) to the level of his sustainability. Contrarily, may be involved in forfeiting(uninstalling) some of the personal traits. At the EOD, I seriously feel, these are the parameters which determine in which state (s)he reboots. It may be a upgrade or/and downgrade. Every system has to get rebooted to serve sum or the other purpose.

eesshh.. waht a subject to blog on. let me not macerate these lovely moments contemplating on the aftermath of death. fine let me hook on my headfones..jeena yahaan marna yahaan.... Show never ends..

Live Life MAX..

On a rainy Day...

m stumbled over this wonderful speech from Rajat Gupta, former MD-Mckinsey Company. truly thought-provoking.

I always admired watching the miracles of technology on the "Discovery" during my late childhood days, which drove me to get a degree which symbolises the boundless digital world. Thanks to my hard-work, finally I forayed into the world of "commercialised" technology. This world of me teaches you more of customers, values, integrity by "Applying Thought" day after day than R&D in your technology. It does teach you to penetrate into the technology for more career points.

Thanks to the domain I work, which keeps you on the edge by confronting on the global delivery model. A decade ago, technological work which came to India as part of "Outsourcing", drove the tech companies to battle hard to get the Project accounts. In order to win the $ minitng accounts, they came up with lots of strategies, one of which is the all famous "Offshore-Onsite" model. This model allowed "few" techies to work at the client place by driving most of the work to ODCs. The cardinal value of "Few", always keep techies guessing and enthufied at their ODC. Now, who is not penchant about global client exposure, coupled to the fact that, you wud be fattening your bank account.

The word "Onsite" itself is so pampering, solely because of the exposure, culture, challenges etc. coupled with Dollar/Euro routine transactions. Working at client place, always lets you prove your mettle on the edge and visibility is exponentially high compared to your global delivery manager visualising you on his Microsft Outlook. You always get to contemplate your technical thoughts with people whom u do not know personally, albeit technology being Universal.

Profs(most of them) who work in software industry are always on the look-out to colour up their Passport pages. memoirs of my ex-colleague who had Visa stamping of 6 different countries as he was very proactive every time he entered into a new account which involved a different geographical position, before he could fly he was moved out of the project :-(. Hope he makes it through this time atleast.

The weather is too good to miss out for a stroll. Ciaoo...

Chequered Flag !!

Bingooo.. What a weekend it was !!

The festive mood back home on friday ignited a thought to have a rendezvous with the ALMIGHTY GODDESS at RR Nagar.. so I set-off with an awesum climate accompanying me on the ride. All of a sudden, raingods split wiiidddde open, undettered I was on my own talking to the wind...albeit rain waters piercing thru to talk to my biological cover.. finally. the visibility of the road became soo meagre, had to brake :-( .. to be greeted with a strange look by the people who were stranded near the shelter due to rains.. in response had a sarcastic smile to their weird looks...now tell me how often do you get a chance to burn your engine on the clear roads of blore with rains pouring at you hard ...finally.. had the Darshan with a totally wet posture of myn.. now that wasnt a SCENE within the abode, as most of the people were in the same state...it was an divine meet ..

just about started thinking of another dry sultry saturday..ring ring ring.. LCD panel of my cell displayed SV.. woww my saturday was done :-) Had a chance of window shopping at the so called all-NEW 50% Discount sale at marathhalli MEGAMART.. I was only a spectator with SV swiping his Card BIGG BIGGG Time...guess why ?? he has lots of INTERESTING fresh on-campus recruits at his office .. SV enjoiii...Had a long ride back home to be greeted with sweets..

sunday had to be another pass-on day .. naahh not this time around ..wat a way to end the weekend.. this time it was the Race Day on Big Screen at the LEELA Galleria..huhh never ever dreamed that I would come out of Amoeba as an F1 fanatic.. the enthu around was totally rollicking.. To be frank, I was very novice to F1 literacy, who could 0nly spell Ferraris or Schummi.. but the whole experience of watching the inaugral Turkish Grandprix on a big screen has made me go crazy about the F1 linguisticss...3 pitstop strategy, inside-out,The First C, etc.,Why not? when you view an man-made engine being fired at the speed of several naughts your adrenaline obviously starts pumping fast...Thanks to TVP.. or else the way I deleted the SMS citing info related to F1.. would have missed a real stunner.. 58 laps of sheer fun/excitement with the pro-Mclaren crowd yelling "Go-Kimi".. triggering with the Renault Car-drivers almost sandwiching the pole-leader Kimi on his Mclaren... finishing of with the usual errors from the Mclaren team :)).. this time it was Pablo Montoya taken on by Alonso Renault enroute to chequered flag.. reminiscing his Never say Die attitude.. hats off to Kimi ...

Feels like 5 continous championship has made Ferrari totally go complacent or is it the new FIA rules ? Schummi cudnt finish the race !!! KingFisher had a nice jockey to enlighten us with his Qs on F1 during the comm breaks.. the surround totally tempted me to that golden-yellowish liquid being sipped by majority of the juntaa their...but had to abstain it as I had transformed myself to a teetotaller...

This space of myn will have more F1 syllables in coming days.. to sign off have to recite this phrase from HUM TUM.. log cigarette kyon peethe hain? .. as the carcinogenic air sucked BIGG BIGG Time..huhhh.. so lets meet on the next RACE DAY.. stay tuned...Vrrrooooommmmmmmmm

zealous...

After a long respite.. back to this page. I had almost forgot my username.. for a change I could key-in my password without a retry...Thanks to "no-work" at my karmabhoomi..felt like rekindling the moments of passed-by days..(cudnt get a better topic :D)

after a month-long dwindling nature in my professional status..days during which I was totally torn apart in my thoughts. Worst part of it all was I could not stick to 1 choice by the virtue of my own technical/logical/financial reasoning.. may be I wasnt equipped enough to take on that phase..truly was in a t0tal state of thirst to joy,happiness (think of all the synonyms :)...) finally cud find a true entertainer in the name of thirst...ironically it spelt Trishna- thirst to ???????

Accidentally.. stumbled over a movie named "Nuvvasthanante Nenn..", primarily bcoz it was a maiden directorial venture by prabhudeva..and above all it *ed Trish(n)a...phew.. it was real fun watching the movie .. although my level of telugu literacy was very meagre..hang-on I have started to improve my telugu vocab .. but the worst part is I got to do it inclusively (any exclusive use has already invited fire within my close-in) by the virtue of watching telugu movies,soaps :( ...but i cud really FEEL the movie.. totally taken away from the sheer acting(facial impressions) skills of this not-so gorgeous mallu lady, I rekindled my thoughts of watching all her movies.. first on the list was, best of all her movies "Varsham", which paved her path to stardom. Driven away in the craze of this lady, I bought a DVD itself :D.. and take my words.. its really worth it...

She is truly on song with her real-life fiance in this movie.. eee varsham sakshigaaa.. juss cant stop murmuring the few good lyrical songs in the movie..truly an enterataining movie which I have in my DVD closet.. worth a collection.. hope to watch most of her movies which excels in her acting skills. Riding to my office.. had a look at her new movie.. ATHADU..hope I havnt spelt it wrong..worst part, its lead male actor is the person I totally hate to look at :-( ..

As my brother sarcastically shouts "31st day - Now showing".... show continuess.... trisha(thirst) in me to watch trisha act heightens show after show.. :D
