postcards from heaven

at last I'm on a long sought vacation. Home is amazing. Its exactly the same as left it (Well, what did I expect to change in 3 months???)

the weather, the river, the people. since it’s the festive season, most, if not all, of my school mates are here.

went to the Fort here (The Old Fort, incidentally was built by Tipu Sultan and now is a major tourist attraction. There is a grass walk, joggers trail and lawns around it and the moat has been turned into a boating area) and believe it or not...half my batch was there!! It was amazing!! Like, I was talking to a guy and he suddenly he points to another guy in the same group and asks, "Do you know him?" and he bloody turns out to be another classmate...He didn't even recognize me!!

another hangout place was the river, where it was just the water, sand and sunset (Not to mention beer!!) It was nostalgic, sitting there and recounting the stories from school. The fights, the romances, the escapades (Yours truly starred in quite a few of them)

well, I have got a week more....so it’s just started......

if i don't have time for you....dont blame me, blame sp2

[ if anything can go wrong it will - murphy's law ]

well, did not understand a word of the title? This is the new single thats topping the charts at the office. SP2 a.k.a Service Pack 2 for Windows XP has not only become what we feared it would, but also in a scale which we the unsuspecting Tech Leads never imagined. I can understand the frustration of the guy who screamed "Oh, Why on #@@** earth should a Service Pack cause more problems than the OS????" My feelings exactly, pal!

have you noticed that I ramble more about work than me these days? Thats what working in an environment with the air so heavy with tension that you can cut it, does to you! One advice to people, especially out-of-college techies (Maaaan, I use the word like I am a veteran whereas I was one of those species hardly a year and half ago!!) guys, go to the mountains and become a hermit or beter still start your own firm!

the only sources of inspiration and laughter has been Dilbert and Forwarded mails (Thanks, Scott Adams for the first and Pavi and Argan for the second, Dunno what I would do without you guys!!)

Ok, I swear this pic was put after a long bout of pleading from Div.....I swear!!!

hot dog

ladies and gentlement! Introducing the Chocolate Starfish!
and the Hotdog Flavored Water Bring it on!
get the fuck up!
yeah! check, one, two Listen up, listen up! Here we go
It's a fucked world We're a fucked up place
Everybody's judged by their fucked up face
Fucked up dreams Fucked up life
A fucked up kid With a fucked up knife
Fucked up moms And fucked dads
It's a fucked up a cop With a fucked up badge
Fucked up job With fucked up pay
And a fucked up boss Is a fucked up pain
Fucked up press And fucked up lies
Well, Lethal's in the back With the fact of the fires
Hey, it's on Everybody knows this song Hey, it's on Everybody knows this song

work is a four letter word

i don't know if this is what you call work! Sitting at your workstation and staring at the monitor for hours! Why has the spirit gone out of me? Why don't I feel like working? Why do I feel de-motivated? and Why am I having these thoughts?

maybe complaining is not my forte. Never has been.I am one of those perpetual optimists. One of those guys who, if they fall accidentally in a well ask for a soap!

maybe its all these problems I am facing right now thats causing me to write this. Not just mine, but my friends' too. My problem is purely infrastructural (Ooops, big word huh? Josh would hate me for it) I need to move out of my current house and don't feel like it. My friends' problems? I wish they were simpler.

hey, look at the silver lining......
going home this week, after a long time.......Well, its gotta be fun, except for the fact that the pressure mounts from my family. The expectations they have set on me are not a part of my current life. Yes, I want to pursue an MBA, in Advertising. But right now, there are things that i need to set in place...What things? Well, theres always another log..ill leave it for now....
