Year End Resolutions.......

This time for a change instead of 2009 newyear resolutions.. I have taken 2008 year end resolutions with a deadline.. 31st Dec 2008!!!

And I have progressed. What the resolutions are is a secret! But time is running out, and I plan to extend the deadline till 5th Jan 2009.

"Every day is a new one.. "

My looks!

Last-to-Last week there was a discount sale of shirts/pants in our campus. As usual I went there to purchase one or two.

A fat lady came for purchasing pants for her partner probably. She asked me "Where do i find pants of 38 size ?" I nodded her with my head that I am NOT the one she is looking for. And the sales guy came to my rescue and pointed her to the 38 size pants...

I felt bad, for having a look of sales guy. I am an R&D Software Analyst working for a leading firm and a leading product. How can i have ordinary looks ?

To add to my grief, she came back again, and asked me whether we accept cards ? This time i felt slightly better, she may be thinking i am the Master of the stall.

Anyway i dont hav a IT bengalurian look it seems. How can i make it ? Will "facial" help ?

My vocabulary

Its bad that we used "malayalam" as the official language in my earlier companies :( My english is the worst!

And now in bengaluru i am forced to speak "saippu's language. And my mallu accent brings laughter to many of friends here. They force me to tell - "coke" and "cock"; "pink" and "ping"; and "lorry" and "uncle" and all.... But still i have not improved.

But still i could go on talking on technical subjects with my mallu accent without any difficulty. So i was able to handle the official discussions properly. Till last-last week I didnt realize that my vocabulary is too bad...

Going to BTM layout from my office, my car was stuck in silk board junction for more than 45 minutes... And my collegues/friends who were in the car were frustrated that my car doesnt hav good audio system also. Finally they forced me to say the story of "maharathi" film which i recently saw.

I found out why "story telling" is the way english is taught in good kinder garden schools.. It is the way you learn the language. And for me - the only words i know are: "for", "while" , "is", "and", "or" etc etc... I was suffocating telling the story. No right words were coming to mind.

I dont want to attempt to tell the story here again. But finally when i was about to tell the climax my friends asked me - "Where are those kidnappers? ; What happened to Nasarudheen shah ? " Those who saw "maharathi" film will understand how well i told the story.

And now this has become a long post. So i bet, you have not understood anything from it.

God save my vocabulary!!!!

Vacation!

First time in my 12 year career I have been totally out of office work for 9 days.......

Earlier also I had taken leave for other reasons..

But its nice to be @ home doing nothing but playing with lachu, and not worrying about other things!

Like Tamura san says "Its better late, than never"

Andhra Police Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andhra acid attack case: Row over 'encounter' of accused

Andhra Police Rocks! Let human rights activists who condemn police action also be shot down. We dont want these activists. We want justice. We dont want inefficiencies.

Police Rocks!

Maharathi.... movie

Nice movie. Nice to see Ompuri, Bomman Irani, Nasirudheen shah and Paresh rawal in one movie.

The twists in the movie are predictable. But for the first time i screamed on one scene where Paresh tries to take the dead body out of the freezer and bomman irani comes suddenly behind him.. Man, I am telling the climax scenes..... Dont read this!

US Policy on Terror

Act against Terror when it strikes against US!!!!!

Sadly it will need anoth 9/11 for US to take tough actions against rogue terror nations.. And without Uncle Sam's support nothing can be done in this world!
