First of all, let me thank all the people who have been inquiring about the blog and why I was not posting. There is a reason behind not posting.This day, 2 months ago the whole country was under siege by a bunch of mad men whose only aim was to terrorize the nation. Sadly, they succeeded; if only partially. Now, there is not a place in Bangalore where employees entering offices are checked

May the brave soldiers, policemen and the civilians who lost their lives in the terror attacks rest in peace. Let us pray for their families to have the strength and courage to survive these difficult times. Let us not waste their sacrifice. Let us make sure that we become the change that we want to see.Regards,Image: Designed by me using photoshop. You can use it in your blog if you want it.

In my usual style, I have gone completely underground for the past two weeks. I usually do this when I am taking a vacation. But, this time the reasons where a little different (although; vacation was also involved). Oct 5 - Oct 10 The whole week was a mess, hectic and mind numbing. From Monday to Friday, I was busy supporting my current project 24/7 while, transitioning the work to a new vendor

So much talk in the media about smoking ban. If I wasn't already smoking, I would have lit up one just to check how smoking feels and why the media is making such a big fuss about it.Here is a word for the media, "Stop!" and more-over, it is not a ban in the true sense of the word. Imagine this, you can't smoke in office buildings, public places like theaters, bars and shopping complexes but; you

Been tagged by pinku. I am supposed, to give a list of my top 5 addictions. Wow! 5?? By the way, who decides on the number? Anywhoooo....here you go:Cigarettes take the top spot. This is the biggest addiction of my life. I wake up, I smoke, I eat, I smoke, I smoke and I goto sleep. I tried to stop smoking cigarettes by telling myself; I just didn't want to smoke. But, I didn't believe myself and

India today, has a horrible and an ignominiously swollen belly. It carries in this shameful womb a national catastrophe (if things are left the way they are), of this I cannot believe anybody still cherishes the smallest doubt… Every reprehensible issue remains something other. The very fact that it remains shrouded in silence is uncanny enough. What more (proof), do the intellectuals and the

Indian home maker, gave me an award for the post Religious Vocabulary; today being World Peace Day, the award is called Blogging Friends Forever. I am honoured to recieve this award and even more so because of what she said on her blog:"Since we are going through Times Of Intolerance, I would like to take the liberty to give it to those who have written strong and effective posts on this issue.

I have seen many blogs and few local news papers, getting the definitions and contextual implications of some of the vocabulary associated with religion and terrorism wrong (something, is definetly fucked up! when you talk about religion and terrorism in the same sentence). So, let's get somethings right shall we? Let us not add more fuel to the already buring pyre of Indian diversity and

Disclaimer: Yes, a little bit of recycling here. In the first post of this blog, I mentioned that I deleted my old blog for a certain reason. And this post was one of the reasons. But, at the same time this post is, to date the best piece of story telling I have done.  There are friends, who don't like it all that much because of the sad undertones. But, please be advised that although it is not

The original Big Bang was no bigger than a cent, yes quite literally. The whole story started when an object the size of a small coin exploded giving birth to this whole expanse of space, matter and dark matter. And unraveling the secrets of a coin lost in the universe 13.7 Billion years ago (give or take a few million years to accommodate scientific error) doesn't come cheap. The European

It's not my thing to blog about movies but, what the heck? When you see a good one might as well share it with the populace. I watched Music and Lyrics last night on HBO. It's about Alex Fletcher who lives in Manhattan singing songs from his 80's hit group Pop’s albums. When his friend/manager Chris, Riley (Brad Garret - Everybody loves Raymond) gets him a chance to write for a teen sensation,

Google says "Google Chrome is a browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier."First impressions are that it has a clean look, loads the webpages faster than FireFox(FF) and Internet

Sep24, 2007 the day before Ananta Chaturdashi (or nimajjan day). We were sitting in a jam packed cafeteria 7 floors above ground level and 15 minutes ago, I was in 2nd floor of my office typing away commands to backup databases when I heard a huge roar and the chants:"Moryaaa Re Bappa Moryaaa Re!!!Ganpati Bappa Moryaaaa!!!MangalMoorti Moryaaa!!!Ganapati bappa morya"Now, in a typical office

Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer." ~Denis WaitleyTaking the above quote as inspiration, I deleted my old blog.
