Hmmm...

Hm.mmm........looks like my future bike.......!! what say?

New Year.

ok....so its the last day of the year........good!!!..but seriously....am out of ideas....what to do ..how to celebrate!!??...any ideas??

Christmas

Celebrated Christmas in my own way....decorated my room a bit!!..really a bit....!!got a star and tucked it up near the front door :-)!!.....bought a cake and some pudding.......pudding was yummy.....cake was not that yummy(half of it is still there, what else is needed to prove it!)....... then me and my room mate had a "south indian" lunch..that was really good...and then a movie.....we decided on "King Kong".....not bad....not bad at all!!.......it was sunday + christmas so as expected it was over crowded everywhere.......the worst part of an "over- crowded" situation is to look for a parking space for a bike!! ..somehow..someway managed to get one!!.....well..there were more traffic woes..but i better not start mentioning them here!!.....anyways.. .."Merry Christmas" to all those people whom i know...and to those too whom i dont know!!......

The Black Devil

By the way..if anyone is yet to get introduced to my bike.....here it is....!Devil on the prowl!Quite a hellraiser in 150 CC cetgory!and yeah..its real name is "Pulsar"!

MI

Talking about movies again.....saw one of the initial trailers of MI:3......thats right......yet another sequel of Tom Cruise starrer "Mission Impossible" series.....looks good....sounds good......should be good!!!.......but there is a long wait before its release..its in May......

Fillum

Went to see "Ek Ajnabee".....well....havent seen "Man On Fire"...so for me it was awesome.....was initially thinking of having a goo at "Bluffmaster"..but me n my friend decided on "Ek Ajnabee"..not a bad decision at all "Brother"!!........was fun....soundtrack is fantastic....and yea....how can i forget that......

my mama told me,

dont be talking to no stranger, don't be talking to no stranger,

stranger, stranger...

3 Months

This morning..when i was sipping my hot cup of coffee i realised something.......went back 3 months and saw myself sitting in the train to New Delhi..then in the cab to Gurgaon...lot was happening at that point of time in my mind....had no idea what will happen in future.....wished myself luck....and told myself to try my best.....took me one whole month of uncertainty and lot of self motivation until i got a job...........
now i have completed 3 months away from home....my dear ones.....it has been quite a journey so far.......i miss home.....miss mom....miss dad...everyone..!!....its just the begining..still there is lot to achieve..and a long way to go...hoping to do some real fine job!!

................

I had no shoes and complained until I met a man who had no feet.

Indian

That's what our good old "Indian Airlines" will be called now.."Indian"....a fresh..brand new Airbus arrived with a more trendy look and the new name printed on it...pretty cool mate!!

Googol

Ok...here is another one......

Larry Page(L) and Sergey Brin(R), founders of Google.
Google was originally named 'Googol'.
After founders (Stanford graduates) Sergey Brin and Larry Page presented their project to an angel investor... they received a cheque made out to 'Google' !...
So they kept name as GOOGLE

free + freak + x

Linus Torvalds of Linux Operating System Linus Torvalds originally used the Minix OS on his system which he replaced by his OS.
Hence the working name was Linux (Linus' Minix).
He thought the name to be too egotistical and planned to name it Freax (free + freak + x).
His friend Ari Lemmk encouraged Linus to upload it to a network so it could be easily downloaded.
Ari gave Linus a directory called linux on his FTP server, as he did not like the name Freax.
Linus like that directory name and he kept the name of his new OS to LINUX...





..well..was aware of the summary..that Linux was named after Linus..but wasnt aware of the drama inside it..!!

Chill

Winter is turning up it's Heat. suddenly its chilly out here......temperature going below 8 C during nights and mornings....well am prepared to face a complete "Dilli ki Sardi" this time around!!..lets see how it goes....n tell u wat...its a herculian task to get out of that Blanket in the morning.....but i somehow manage to do it everyday.....and i really hope to keep the good work going when the temp goes below 5 C......!! ...I miss those long winter holidays!!

A Blow

Microsoft Chief Technical Officer Craig Mundie on a recent visit to India served a blow on our pride.......he said...
'India does not produce enough good computer engineers and those it does are good at theory but not very well equipped to handle the practical aspects.'

......well...am not sure whether such kind of pride existed....because we all (Software Engineers) already know who's good and who's useless..its upto the companies to understand that!!...my catch on it is..."blame it on campus placements"!!

A Cool Shot

Ok...took a cool one.......yea thats right...those are helmets....!!

MI:70K

It sounds like a sequel to the tom cruise's "Missiom Impossible" movies..but its something else....its "Mission Impossible:70,000 feet"
Industrialist and aviator Vijaypat Singhania on Saturday became the first man to fly at 69,852(almost 70,000) feet above sea level in a hot air balloon, thereby breaking the world record of 64,997 feet, set by Per Lindstrand, in June 1988, in Texas.



Its a brave effort..but an effort worth at least a salute..!!
we are proud of you Vijay.

Food

hmm....one of my favourite topics...."Food"......its been quite a while since i last had the "Candy's" wala Pizza.......so decided to try out "Pizza Hut" with a friend........had a medium size chicken tikka freshizza......honestly ....i failed to find any difference between a normal pizza...and
a freshizza!!....but it was good anyways.....and had pasta "curry" with it.....well ..thats the way we deal with "phoren maal"...we indianise it!!........but hey....it was good too!!!
umm...sorry......u cant see them in the pic......was busy eating them.....Lemonade can be seen!!

A Song

Came across a really good song lately....its from the movie "Cholcolate" ...song's title is .."halka halka sa yeh nasha"......there are a couple of lines in it that really strike you when u listen to it....they go like...
kyon bhala sapno ke picche
dil mera apno ke pitche khota hain
khwaahishein aawaara banke
toot jaaye tara banke hota hain
..listened to the remix of the song and its a really fine fusion of typical Bhangra tunes and some really fast beats...do listen to it.....its cool!!
....

Khomcha!!

umm....there is one strange word used very frequently around NCR....."khmocha".....generally its used when a person doesnt listen to you or doesnt obey you...they say.."chal isse khmoche mein lete hain"!!......
waise wat actually it means??....anyone with a good NCR IQ??

About Morning

Isn't it strange..?You spend a whole day solving a problem and you end up with nothing at the end of the day...but then...the very next morning it takes only 5 minutes to solve that problem!..
What in the blue hell was wrong with the previous morning??!!

Jam on NH-8

ok......thats a familiar phrase "Jam on NH-8"..but today i realised a fact about jams. Its all in the mind....if you consider the jam as one of the obstacles on the journey to the destiny......thats ofcourse nowadays is either the office or the home, your gonna find a way out! but when you take it as a "oh-man-another-damn-trafiic-jam"...its gonna be tough!!....well...thats quite close to the problem we face in daily life!!...its all in the mind...attitude...it does matter!!
...
well..once in a while there is no harm in sounding like a philosopher!!right?

New one

ok...so after some really inspiring words from a very good friend of mine guru, i decided to update my blog..ok what next after the dilli marathon...umm.....got the 2nd free service done on my bike....and hey...got a new phone.....a Nokia 6630.........yaay!!!!!!!..guru......i have 30 more over you!!hehe...!!

Dilli!

ok...dilli goes the fast way again!!cuts down a marathon...The Half Marathon! yaar..if u dont want to do it then its of no use cutting it short....!!.....asked a friend abt it ....the conversation went like this...
me: yaar wats this half marathon?
friend: umm.....marathon done in half clothes!!
me: wat?..
friend: thats delhi dude!
....
wonder wats next.....a half Formula 1 Grand Prix??!!

Quake!!

That was a terrible day....i was in my room going through the newspaper and suddenly i felt like the house is swinging..well it was not a wild swing...but the feeling was the same as getting drunk!!....it was an earth quake and i realized it when a friend of mine called up sounding quite excited and asked...Did u feel it ..?? i dont have a TV right now but when i went out in the afternoon and saw the footage on TV in a cafe...the pictures were shocking!!...it was quite mild here in haryana....but it has surely rocked our kashmir and the neighbour pakistan!!......our heart goes out for the victims!!....may god help them!!

Work! Dude Work!

hmm...so i have a job.....the one i really wanted to do!!......The workplace is nice...the team is rocking and the work environment is friendly!!...There is one problem.......well...i have to get rid of the habit of calling a senior by "sir" ...they really hate it....!!am afraid someday i'll get bashed up by one of them!!hehe....but thats not a big task to do..will get rid of it....!!The real challenge is lying ahead.....a really rocking project and some new things to learn!!...hey...no complains about hard work!!

Got It!

Hey....finally got the opening that i needed....joined my first proper job yesterday......its a good company....people are fine and helpful.....it was fun on my first day!!....I guess its performance time now!!Will try my best!

Hope

I will be completing a month here in gurgaon on coming 4th....till now i dont have anything that can be called a "gain" but some really interesting interviews. Am hoping for the best...but going by the experience during last one(almost) month, its going to be the hard way! Took some time off this weekend and headed to noida to see a very good friend there! It was fun....and hey no one is believing me on this one that it took exactly 1 hour , on return ride from Noida to Gurgaon! But Delhi traffic is not for weak hearts....trust me, specially when a jatt zooms by in his flashy car with the wildest music system that a car can have, playing loud enough to make it audible for whole of NCR, and honks only when he gets ahead of you!! the overall effect...well..something like a sonic boom!!.....back to the interviews ..had one today also....again..hoping for the best..!!......and yes i really hope that pretty soon i will stop writing about interviews and start writing about my job!!fingers crossed!!

Braveheart

The title might sound like the Mel Gibson epic..but it just fits in the tune....!!...Heard about england winning back the ashes after many years.....and one person made the headlines on the final day...batsman Kevin Pietersen....well..didnt see him live that day as am yet to settle completely here in Gurgaon and i dont have access to a TV right now......but saw the highlights at my cousin's place...and what flashed in my mind was "Luck favours the brave".....kev was brave enough to hold on to his fort and kept hammering the likes of Mc'Grath and Warne even after three dropped catches he offered......never gave up..!!....It's not about trying your best....or delievering the best..its about keep doing it after failures....because failures can move the person off the track.....and bravery is all about holding on to your track!!...and hey....came to know something more interesting.....KP is a South African......and not an Englishman....played counties for 4 yrs and became eligible for the national side.....so guys.....place doesn't matter!!

Moved!

Made a brave decision few days back...moved to Gurgaon......with hope of finding a good career here .......well....cant see the future but hoping for the best. Felt a bit awakward in these 2 days....new place, new people,new kind of lifestyle ,kinda strange..but hey...thats gurgaon for you...as the locals call it "Gurgaavan"!!

Doom

umm.....DOOM..... the bloody game.....has a movie now!! Wonder.....wats next.......Quake?

Ready to Move

Hey ...its nervousness time......moving to Gurgaon in few days......having all kinds of feelings about the future...!!Told u!! these things happen after too much of coding-shoding!!
......Hey.....its all about taking the plunge....every time!!.....So.....ummm.....errr.....lets do it!!........

Thinking Ahead

Well!!..somehow got past some really insane problems recently........its worth mentioning here that my insane problems are generally related to some freaky code bug!!
neways....started thinking ahead few days back....n hurray!!bought a new ThinkPad!..it rocks..!! ..so much for thinking ahead!!
