Relationships,SIGH.......

I actually need a reply for this question and especialy girls can actually help me out,or to be accurate help my friend out.(seriously....).Anyway my fnd like a girl in his office,with whom,he is able to put forth carefully constructed phrases prepared day's in advance.I think u wud understand now,the situ!!Anyway he wants to get the girls phone number,but doesn't seem to get the guts,or the motivation to do the same,cos he thinks that he might destroy something that they have if he moves fast on this relationship.

well the relationshiop bw them is like,that he smiles and she smiles back at him.if he does not go to any team outing,then she comes and ask him,why he did notcome.Well i think she does call him for coffee also( i mean the literal value here!!!)

SO how does he try to get the phone number! any ideas wud be helpful here or to be acccurate to my fnd :)

Google's contraption

I just discovered that using my google account,i can login to orkut,blogger and gmail.If this idea continues,it would seem that any netizen would be using any one of the free products of google at any given time.That would mean millions and millions of dollar's in revenue for google as we indulge in their innovative products.

i assume the youtube also can be accessed using google account,i have not tried it yet,well don't have nay videos to upload.it seems like any venture started in a garage seem to flourish with vigour!!

even though google would tend to dominate the net,the concept seems simple,as we try to extend our grip on the world with news groups and fnd lists,it is difficult to maintain password and login id's.Google again has lived upto it's name,simple solution for simple issues and simpler solution for complex problems :).Three cheers for Google.

At present i am looking for a cheap or free garage for my venture [i am yet to come up with an idea :( ] if any body else have any clues,tune in :) or join my club!!

Reactions diluted

There you have it,shilpa shetty in her words,claims that jade did not mean any of here comments as racist overhaul.in here own words "I don't think you're racist." .you can check channel four's website,if u want.
http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/news/newsstory.jsp?id=1298&articleMask=1

Nows,it was just a cat fight,and time was all that it was needed inorder sort things out.Now,won't the government officially feel silly.

Well,channel 4 has got a gud publicity and to let you on a fact,i am visiting their site regularly and even book marked 'em.it seems the media is the winner in this entire enchallade.

so long..........

Indian muddle

DO you know channel four in UK?well I didn't until,big brother show recruited Shilpa shetty to play a role in their reality series.well if my sources are correct,she was paid 3 crores!Man that is a huge amount even in british pounds :).any way the controversy is that,she has been singled out in that group,cos she is asian,or Indian .well wat did they expect?dude if u r of a diff color,in a group of strangers,wat do u expect to happen?like people(like skin colored people here) group ,gang up on others.For their childish behaviour why is our goverment moving into this muddle ,making it a political affair.

shilpa joined the show,cos she wanted to make money!u know,that if she expects the show to be brutal,she can drop out,but noooooooo she is still in the show,that wud mean she is doing it for the money,the publicity,and wat not that comes along with the show( seriously i dunno)

the million dollar questions,is that why are we ,or to be more accurate,why shud we be bothered?I got to watch the clips,showed on news channel,who were happy enough to show it again ,again and again.racism or no racism,our government shud not get it self involved in these misinterpreted shows,and put its effort into form global business deals,which can actullay helps its poor citizens,who form 80% of the population!

People here don't talk before the camera to earn money,but sweat their blood to earn their daily food.If u talk about this to a person on the street,he will laugh at out stupidity.

i dunno wat else to add to this muddle.the further i talk on this,i get infuriated!!
hope the spirite that i am drinkin cools me down :)

Traffice chaos & Ambulance

How many of us know,that we are supposed to side step,when u r hear a siren or an ambulance for that matter scream up next to you.How many of us do know,and still do not respond to it ?I like wringing those necks,cos it ain't funny when a doc says to the patient's family, "if only u cud hav brought him,10 minutes before,we cud have saved him!!".That makes,each every person on road that time,a murderer. How much time does it take for a guy to side step and let an ambulance pass through;i have seen drivers mistaking the siren as a signal to start a road rash onslaught.it really stinks to c guys with a reebok hat,nike shoes,Arrow shirt and wrangler pants to do this.if educated people,do not try to make a difference,then this country ain't gonna under stand the value of life.

We talk about war raged by US on Iraq,Israel on Palestine,we condem them by our loud voices,do we try to look in our own backyard,the silent war fought,on our own soil,with many losing their lives aimlessly.I Hope reality sets in ,before we become one of the worst civilized drivers in the world.

Unwarranted reactions

Saddam Hussein has been executed was the headlines that I read on Sunday morning a day before Jan1st.Nothing changed for me living miles away from Iraq.but there were a lot of politicians who would disagree with me.The next line was that,peopled in India protested against the tyrant's demise.Politician do not understand their priorities,and even more do not listen to people,who understand.People are dying on our streets,with out food,clothing and shelter,but they want to protest against a person,who killed many people without remorse,let alone,do anything for humanity.

Does this opposition call any political motive?I am literally fed up with people opposing anything,that could give them their 15 minutes of fame.

What are we to do about this?I saw a teenager protesting against this exceution,has he met Saddam,has he been Iraq?Is he taking care of his family?Is he a philanthraphist? waste of time even to talk about this.

Drowning!!

Why do we also associate ourselves with our work.Any where i go,people ask my name and my work comes next?why is that? are we defined by the work that we do? so if i don't land in a job that defines my character,hav i lost my character then?

This is some thing to do with Indians or is it like this all over the world?Some times,this is
irritating for the fact ,that even some times i tend to ask the same Q!!!

Work is not the life,but a part of life.Work is important,but should it be made as the major stake holder?

i like watchin T.V ,eating all the garbage that smells like deep fry and sleeping like a bear in winter .Yupe and i am lazy also,u wud hav figured it out by now.so i don't have time to think.

so if any one figures out the reason for the above mentioned Q,give me a call!!!

smack down moves

Man ,it is so easy to transfer blame onto some one else,even though you are part of the problem.It seems that in Indonesia,a kid died,because he and his friends practised moves shown in the WWE,show SmackDown and the rage is directed towards the Tv show.let me be the first to say ,that i extend my deepest condolences to the family that lost the kid.putting that asideI want to ask,where the heck were the parents?sleeping!! while the kids watched these shows.The fact remains simple,why did the parents allow this nine year old,to watch TV,when they know,it incites violence.let me put into this way,they allow their children to watch any thing,implying that they give the freedom,but they blame others if some thing goes wrong.do they not know,that all action(freedom) has its consequences.

it irates me,that bcos people like these,cos alot of problems for guys who watch it fun.and there is the generalization,we are losing our values.values are abstract qulities that we should practise and not points that we write down or preach.if they are not able to control their kid's actions,they should not have kids.If the parents do not take reponsibility for this,who should.
the directors of the program ,thousands of miles away from the kid,or the station,who run this show.

They make sure,that these show run late at night,so minors,du not have access to Tv and still if it happens,i assume,the house leader has lost his control.

I am not denying the fact,that TV show like Smackdown incite violence,but it should be on our part to allow the minors to imbibe the knowledge,between facts and fiction.If the current trend continues,then we need to ban all horror,sci fi,mythical movies.who knows,some day ,there might be a case,which might argue,that he lost his peace of mind ,bcos he watched a horror movie :)

Religious fiasco

Does any religion preach,that murdering people,makes a difference?Or am i being naive ,when i say,all religions can co-exist as one entity,"HUMANS".Every one needs religion,at least once in is life time,to believe in something called Hope,that maybe things will be different romorrow.the very fact that we belive in our selves,to make a difference to our selves alone aleast means that belief in something other than pure physical body exists.Recent comments by the Holy Father about Muslims,has caused a real havoc in the middle east and his recent trip to Turkey,needless to say is the eye of the next Hurricane katrina.

It seems that this recent debacle about pope's speech seem to be politically motivated.Cos no religion teaches you to take to streets.Religion is some thing which you beleive in,which cannot be taken away by anyone and no one has the right or power to discourage or encourage you to follow andy religion.In that case,why does other's view make any difference.

The point i want to convey among this muddle,it that an empty vessel makes more noise.what is all this rant about?i know muslim friends ,who are far more better than my christian friends.I know that the previous sentence brings in a ,religious segragation,still my thought is that,it does not depend upon once religion,but on once's view on the subject.subjecting everything action on religion criteria is crap and should be discriminated.

Far or less,the fact remains that religion plays an important role in each of our lives and politician aiming for power seem to use this as thier weapon of choice.

It is upon us to make sure,that weapon does not fire its feiry bullets on us.

Tangle with passwords

It seems to me that,my personal login id's are always an problem,for me.I do not forget my password,yet my some how i seem to lock myself out of my own account,by typing fast.man,that is exasperating>i type fast to get the job done faster,but end up waiting for another hour,before I can even check my mails.I can hear my Boss thinking,will this guy ever grow up :).

Recently,I had an experience .which will shed light onto the dilemma,that i get my self into,without any specific reason.Since I have a laptop,they come with an encryption software,for data security.Don't panic,I do not have any confidential content though.Well,i was operating my laptop using the battery power source and left it idle for an hour,so automatically the laptop went into hibernate mode.Naturally,i tired to relogin again.The is encrption tool is progammed,such that it will prompt for the passowrd,before the OS itself boots.

Now note this is my first login try and the account does not lock out,but denies me the permission to login also.Did i do anything wrong here,still i am to blame though :(
i lost two days cos of this.of all the day's this had to happen on weekends,denying me of any IT support service also.

This is not like the first time that it has happened and that is frustrating :$

Does this happen to me alone ,or is it normal ?

Privacy on the search page?

The latest news from BBC,that US government is requesting for information from google regarding search details by its users ,has sent warnings bells in my head.not because,i am afraid ,that wat i am doing might be revealed to the world.It is more about the principles maintaining the privacy of our thoughts. mine specially.I like to have all my stuff,my thoughts and my action secretive,it send me shivers down my spine,thinking that some one actual knows,wat i do on my PC,even if i am deemed as not harmful.

Does this affect the user.it will affect me for sure,cos it will make me think twice,before i enter a search string ,even though it might not be harmful.the goverment agencies always have a way of contorting facts to meet their requirements.Even an innocent search string can become a nail to your coffin.

will this affect the users from searching in the web for thier content?only time will tell.i assume that only when some one is caught or prosecuted,will the commoners on the net understand the ramifications of this request.Till then we need to wait and watch.It seems like a cat and mouse game,wherein we ain't jerry and cat[government] always get to win :(

Privacy seems like a thing of the past nowadays.previously,we needed only to guard ourselves against hackers ,now we need to guard ourselves against the government,elected by us to protect and help us,seems a bit ironic though.

We will have to wait and watch if google abides by this request or stands up and fights for its princples.

I am writing this in a really dull mood,the reason,is that i am not able to identify why i am dull.
I assume that it has to do something with me out to town,or drinkin too much wine cos it is easy to get :).This has got nothin to do with my parents,cos they don't restrict me from drinkin.my thoughts are compeltetly jumbled and my brain seems to stall every time,like old car trying to get started on a cold morning,with a dead battery.

Where do i find the recharge stations?i dunno whether my brain requires one,or my body.though body seems that it has all the sap required for working effectivly.How do i get my brain to work again.in addition to this,the place i am stayin as a temp of 8 degree celcius minimum,further fuelling my cells in my brain to sleep ,rather than to be awake.

i think i am blabbering toooo much today.it's time to walk back home.

c u guys later.well wen i find the strength to clock here again.

bye,gud nite

Split

Split,it ain't a new jargon,or a technical term.It is damn gud place in Crotia,a european country.
It is really a gud location with the adriatic sea as its neighbour and i am thrilled to get chance to come here and work :( for a month,cos this is a tourist spot and the climate is damn cold at this time of the year.

i will upload some of the pics on my next publish,till then gud bye from Split :)

Nature and us

I had the oppurtunity or to be exact a eye opener ,during this diwali.I saw a Dog running away from the loud sounds of bursting crackers from one house,but to be confronted by the same in the next.We do know that Dogs are sensitive to noise and to c that dogsowners bursting crackers in thier own noise,seems revolting.THis is not an stray incident that describes our indifference to nature.bursting a cracker,produces a big bang,which one can get by hitting his own head with a sledge hammer,does it provide any adrenalin rush,or does it provide any purpose to have fun.I am not talking about the sparklers and swirling cans,it is the crackers used by the Big boys sheshhhh... if that makes a man,then i hope our world has a lot of less "men". :-)

We need to balance our activites with our nature,cos all that we use comes from nature.I am not a green peace activist or a nature buff,but to start with i need to reliaze that i am hurting another being for my pleasure.that is not warranted at all.

i think i conveyed my thoughts,here..i think cos while writing i was eating a peice of delicious cake,that needs no description....My brain just stalls while eating...

cops and politicians

Why do we have elections?It seems TamilNadu has lost it's democracy status!
any one with power can do anything,the exact meaning for a dictator ship.That is exactly,what happenend in the polling stations used for the local by elections.The opposition seems to blame the ruling party for instigating violence and the ruling does the same with more impact.The cops and the public are the victims here.How are we going to reclaim ourselves,from this pit that we have dug.We have given too much power to the political parties ,which seem to be concentrated on two main fronts.their brazen attitude to stop elections by resorting to any means necessary to make sure either they win else,destory the opposition completely.

have they failed to understand ,that they are also the public,from whom they have risen to the political clan.our hope lies with the juducial system now,to make sure that all offenders,irrespective of parties to which they belong to,need to be punished just,so that these actions do not happen in future.will it?

The judicial system depend upon the cops to impose their order,but the cops seem to be puppets of the politic clan,then who is going to save the public?

no wonder the poll turnout seem to drop out every year!i did excercise my right to vote,but still does it have a meaning among this chaos.

Democracy?

Does Democracy really work in India?The decision makers stay in high secure houses,with less or no people contact.They do make contact only in case of a Major disaster,i quote MAJOR here,cos it gives them publicity and a vote bank for next elections.Democracy ,is for the people,by the people,of the people.That is what i read in my school books.Have they changed it now?

The politicians form their own category of society,which does not relate to the common man,who indirectly keeps funding his expenses and his mistakes.it is like a runaway nuclear bomb,which keeps fueling itself.The major shift in the political warfare,that has happened recently,would be that,many people from the masses i mean the commoners,have decided,that enough is enough!.They have decided to stand in the local by elections as independent canditates.

Are they going to make a change,or will they be inducted into the political sociey ,once they start winning votes?Only time can answer that question.but it does answer on question,that people have started to take responsibility for their actions.that is a very good beginning, bcos,they have identified the source of all their problems.Indifference in their attitude towards society woes.

i hope that i tried to convey what i had in my mind,but i always seem to get lost half way through :-)

LIfe's purpose

I am an average person,with average talent,does that mean ,i cannot make a difference to this world?I have a single aim in my life and that would be to make a difference to this chaotic world and enjoy the perks that come along with it :-).seriously speaking,how should this be done,seem to be my question everyday.Everyday morning ,i wake up with a void in my brain,that needs to be filled with information.Information that could lead me to achieve the one goal that i have.will it be achieved?only time can tell,but i need to put effort in order to achieve the same.It seems to me that i have resource and energy,but not the guidance.Guidance that helps me to ask the right questions and inquire on the right fields.

Does this thought look like a ramblings of an drunk guy,sleeping on a park bench or does it make a sense?I don't drink,smoke or even go after the opposite sex for that matter.Does it mean that i am a waste of occupied space in this planet.if i fail to wake up one morning,will it make any difference?excluding family members,its cos they are obligated,what about others.


It seems that for every person i meet,i delete five from my existing fnd group.I do not seem to understand life's purpose so do i have purpose,or ami just an extra prop,in a vast movie set,orchestrated by GOD.

I think that,unless i put in effort it will not make any difference.If u have a better though process to understand this,please comment on the same,cos i need some clarity ,which can be obtained,only by discussion with an open mind.

that's my 2 cents(paise).
