random notes

India winning worldcup gives me an empty feeling.. Why watch cricket now ? Wish India doesnt play one day match for another year...

What should be the reaction of a father when his 7 year old is asking a 6 year boy "Will you marry me ? ". Any book recommendation ?

Indian TV is shit. Afridi is correct. Just after winning worldcup, all shits are discussed - when will tendulkar retire ? , Is the trophy hander over was replica , is India going to dominate world cricket ? ( Hmm.. even without having TV connection I am watching all these hits in online sites. NO wonder why they are showing )

Again took "God delusion" .. Not able to read beyond Richard dawkins answering the review comments. All my atheist friends are rational and of high integrity. But all my relegious friends are very nice human beings. So whenever I took "God delusion" I start thinking of them and their beliefs. And as usual I dont have any stand/belief on this... :) I am agnostic on everything.

Language barriers are broken

B'lore is a cool place.. Most people can speak in atleast 3 of the 4 south indian languages and plus Hindi.. And kids learn bits and pieces of every. Lachu's maid has picked up malayalam well. And Lachu now mimicks her maid's malayalam accent !

Last day was listening to "Kanne Kalaimane" tamil song. Lachu came and asked - " Is this Malayalam, Tamil or Kannada" ? She can understand some words and some not.. Having stayed in tvm, chennai and b'lore and now being looked after by telugu maid.. her language now is "south indian" - no more malayalam, tamil, kannada or telugu.

May be now she needs a north indian boyfriend to teach her hindi ;)

The Social Network

Went for seeing Due_date, but couldn't resist the_social_network movie. Its been weeks since i logged into facebook, so thought of atleast seeing the movie. Movie is good. And after the movie did all google and find about all facebook founding stories..

Facebook/Orkut I stopped now. I was trying to get attention from all my well-wisehers by updating the status now and then ( unsuccessfully though ). Now called it quit ( atleast for few more months..). If anybody wants it let them ask me.

And had stopped my diary writing ( blogging.. ) also. But after the movie had to write atleast a few words..

All my friend morons are writing good posts - either Poems .. , travellogues.., good fancy imaginative stories.., shakespeare like literature etc etc.. Poor me, my vocabulary is as good as the "C" language....

I wish there was a "social network" site which could capture my mind and write itself...

What happens if I die now ?

What happens if i die now ? I am not concerned or have fear of my death. I am not concerned about the financial and support issues my dependends may face. The only query I have is - If I cease to exist ?

Will I go to Indralokha where all Menaka , Rambha, Thilathama lives and entertains us ?

Or will i go to Hell where i will be fried for the next million years ?

Or everything will come to end. My thought process will come to an end. From my view, the world will come to an end. Everything will become empty.

And for the world, they can grief the death for some time. The blogs / facebooks can carry my posts for some more time.

Anyway whatever it is - One thing I have decided. I should clean up my posts/scarps in blogs / facebooks / orkuts and twitters so that i have a better image when i die.

blogging from mobile

My first blog from mobile. •

Boys turn men at 40

Boys turn men at 40, somebody said in today's Hindu newspaper. Looking at my immaturity level I dont see that feasible. Only few years remaining.

Trying to get matured.

Those who have it, can flaunt it ;)

B'lore gals dont mind revealing it when they have it. But poor me, I want to save the face of mallus. Mallus having a bad image, and reading all those mallu-behaviour blogs I stopped staring compeltely. My pressure gets released, when these gals get out of the bus. Hmm.. But the morons around me are no decent. They keep 'glancing' or 'staring' all the time. May be they are mallus.

Poor mallus!

Wrangler shirt and Pepe Jeans doesnt help..

It happened today also. This time at MK retail shop. I was buying lunch bag for lachu. One 50 plus guy came and caught the lunch bag in my hand. I was surprised and didnt give. He nodded me, and grabbed it. After looking for sometime in the bag, he asked me "bere ?". Hmm.. i said "sorry, i just came to purchase a bug". He looked at me and went away with the bag i wanted to purchase... I grabbed another one and escaped at the earliest. Looks doesnt matter.

Twittering about "ahmedabad modi/tharoor" team

Why they are calling this ahmedbad team - Kochi/kerala IPL team ? We dont want any bull shit dummy IPL teams...

Jai Royal Challengers ! Jai Kingfisher ! Jai Mallus !!!

Films, Films, and Films

Seeing lots of films these days - Avatar 3D ( 2 times), 3 Idiot, Rann, Ishqiya, MNIK and now Vinnaithedi Varuvaaya. Hmm not a single malayalam film. No wonder why malayalam film industry is in mess, we guys are not seeing our own films!

Gopalan's True Show

Gopalan always wonder why the heck is world like this ? Why his compass always is towards south ? Why are the good ( or great ) things not happening to him. His call to his mind never find answers.

His maktub could have been nice to him.. Why it happens to him only ? What is wrong with him ?

He lost his belief in GOD and everything. He started blaming everything.

But when somebody turns nice to him, he feels guilty. He feels sorry about what he was thinking of them.

And one day - the D-Day happened. He was thinking too much. He didnt want to focus on driving, he crash landed into a VOLVO and he died.

Then the "utimate" thing happened. The world ceased to exist. The world was a figment of Gopalan's imagination. Everything was happening for him only. Everything was "maaya". The whole world existed for Gopalan only. All the characters were created for him only. They were just playing on the script Gopalan's mind was rendering out.

He was very sad. He became depressed. He could have had good dreams. His world would have been nice then.

GOD advised to him - "You Moron, have good dreams atleast here"!!!!!!

Gopalan decides to die..

Gopalan is having too much depressions these days. Poor Guy. Totally frustrated with the world around he decided to die. Being a software engineer he kept a counter of 100 which kept decremented each time he was drowned into depression.. And when the count reaches zero he will commit suicide.

The count started running fast and soon the count reached zero.... Then he added another piece of code which multipled the counter by 10 times of the previous initial value and re-started counters again..... and this went forever...

Hmmm.... Finally he was never able to die.. Endless loop!

disclaimer: FU$%^ING STORY

Aug 31st 2009

Its my blog, i can write anything i want! :)

(What got you here, will not get you there): (White Tiger)

Read two books during two weeks... This post is not a book review ( although I may tag it as one )
(1) What got you here, will not get you there:
(2) The White Tiger

First title, I came to know because my friend gifted this book to a friend of ours who was leaving the company ( and i gited "last lecture"!! ). I dont like reading that much "organisational behaviour" book because i feel i am a spontaneous person, who does random things, and somehow converges the actions to produce results. And i cant be tied up to manners/norms/rules. But still it doesnt hurt to know what experts say, choice is still ours. I felt it as a boring read, but atleast he has brought out some points which I agree whole heartedly. So i was kind of in sync with him. I dont what to disclose what are those points.. And he ofcourse has pointed out in that book many of my bad habits like favouritism, passing judgements, less listening habits. But over the years i think i have improved on these.... ( The book which is my favourite on this line is First break all the rules .)

"White Tiger" - I liked, just l liked slum dog. The life of "haves" and have-nots" is mentioned in a very nice manner. And when the have-not becomes the king, same story repeats. Kerala doesnt have land-lord stuff, so dont know whether these type of things happen in other parts of India. Anyway I liked it as a fiction.

Swine Flu

I bought Himalaya "Pure Hands" - Hand Sanitizer. And I am rubbing that on my palms, nails ... thats the only prevention taken.

But i can here lots of coughing, sneezing all around office, and can see people sneezing/coughing in public places, buses, trains. Hmm, Not all people have work from home option.

Not afraid of any kinds of flues. But dont want my sneezing to be of harm to any others.....

Jab we met - Part 2

Jab we met - Part 1 is here.
After long time, more than 1.5 years I travelled again in two-tier A/C to thiruvanathapuram. Its not that i cant afford it.. I travelled a lot in flight these time. But still train means sleeper, or at the most three-tier A/C. This time, I landed in a coupe with three girls. I had a strong feeling that the girls would ask me to move out - why i got that feeling i dont know, just instincts or past experiences.

Within 5 minutes they requested.., atleast this time the girl didnt call me uncle, also accompanied me till her original seat, and said both sorry and thank you. And I am in a coupe with two old lady doctors who are in their 60s. But it was fun listening to them, they were talking about all what happened to them in these 40 years after they completed their MBBS in trivandrum medical college. Recapping the handsome boys in the medical college, married life, husband's death, medicines that they take, Marriage requests after husband's death, Friends living all around the world, about children, brothers/sisters etc. And they are going for their class gettogether in thiruvanathapuram.It was nice listening.......

And they reserved me in advance to take their baggage out @ railway station which i did. I felt slightly bad as they didnt ask me my name. But then i realized, I also have not talked or asked anything to them, i just was listening all the time...

On return journey also, one of the lady was in compartment. She was going to chalakudy. And this time I went and helped her get down at chalakudy without she asking me.

Last Lecture

These days I am readng books like magazines.. I am just reading because i have no other thing to do. Read "Last Lecture". Got inspired for few minutes, and then did let it go. There are people will possitive frame of minds like Randy who needs to be adored.

There has to be someone like Hitler who categorize people based on frame of minds, and kill all the negative souls. Then world will be completely devoid of negative thoughts.. The possitive sperms and eggs will result in ultra possitive kids ........

Had listened to the "last lecture" a year back. So whatever i read or listen doesnt get into my mind or result as actions.....

But i found this beautiful review in my friend's blog . take a look, its aeasy read book. So even if you are negative, posstive or dontcare its a nice read....

Saturday Matinee Movie.. Hangover

Saw "Hangover" at PVR. It rocks! Each scene is funny and you can laught through out the movie........

The Alchemist.........

Found the Novel "The Alchemist" in philosophy section. Wanted to get some book to be read in the train journey back home to thiruvananthapuram. Picked up as i had heard that was a good read from several of my friends.....

In train I got totally immersed in that Novel. "Dreams of Santiago, the shepherd" and his journey to achieve the dreams was inspiring. Read around 70 pages. Was feeling myself just in the shoes of "Santiago". In the pursuit of dreams, but reached half-way, leaving all the loved ones ( sheeps and lover!), and found myself washing the crystals in shop confused on whether to pursue for the dreams, or go back where you are used to....

I had a strong feeling that I should also be an adventurer like him in pursuit of treasure.., and not feel like a victim.

Then like always the good feeling remained only for a short time. The feeling of loser and victim again conquered me.... Threw the book away....

On saturday night, sleep was not coming. So took the book again.. The remaining pages were not that interesting. But still interesting to keep the pages moving... Finally I liked the climax. Pursuing for dreams all around world, and finding it at the place where the journey started. And it also reminded me to enjoy all kinds of days - whether good or bad. Each day is different, and it needs to be enjoyed.

Hmm.. with possitive mindset I started my journey back to Bangalore. At Thirunelvelli the bus stopped for dinner at 10pm. I had the hang-over of "Sivakashi" movie. And 7-8 steps from the bus I found myself in a waste water drainage ( gutter ). One slab was missing, and Anoop didnt realize and fell into the trap. I landed in two legs, and found myself lucky not to have hit my chest or head. I said to everyone - "I am fine", but nobody cared! One guy told me where i can find water to wash my legs and chappals.

Travel continued... Alchemist gave me the necessary enthu to enjoy the new experience.. !

And then back in bangalore... Feeling myself as the "crystal merchant", and not as "santiago" the hero. Myself I am inproving my attittude towards life. But too old to receive the omens send to me ( or omens are not coming at all).. And no dreams except day-to-day life. Feeling afraid of the new things coming in life, and just want to settle with the old things. Dont like to realize that I can achieve more, and should pursue for dreams. I seem to be happy ( or unhappy) with the way I am now..

Thats depressing.. I want to be "Santiago".

So bought the next book.. for next week's travel - "The Last Lecture"!!
