why do the top two in the-most-loud-mouthed-people-at-work list have such a strong accent that the first word you hear them speak will let you pin point the state..and even the town from which they hail??and why do they keep talking with each other ALL the time??and why are they seated next to each other even though they are working on different projects??and why is their cube right next to mine?

Yahoo! new ad..guess its on TV in US, and should be on air in India sometime soon..watch it hereI personally liked the ad, its trendy, colorful, energetic and young..but one problem that i see is..it does not really say what you can do with new yahoo..but guess the idea was to spread the word that there is something new about yahoo front page and let the user figure things..after all..the whole

I never knew how beautiful things can be when everything comes together. Had been to Udupi, Pajaka, Kaup beach and a wonderful beach resort last week. A lucky streak of coincidences made it a trip to remember. It rained like crazy before and after our trip - just the 3 days that we spent there were free of rains; the cloud cover due to the break in rains was just right for an awesome sunset and

This is one more casualty of the big G craze. All news sites that I follow reported this tool launch by google. Even the ones like NDTV that dont talk much tech (the tool is not useful outside US, definitely not going to be in India in our life time, its not a news site which reports all tech news, but how do these matter?it is a google tool), had an article about this.I feel so sorry for David

Three bullets doing a 60+ on an empty underpass can be..well..what else can it be? noisy..very noisybut..the noise..the synchronized thump amplified by echoes..was awesome..pure thrill for few seconds..and those few seconds were worth all that extra money spent on my bullet :)

After two (short) long rides to banerghatta national park and big banyan tree-manchinabale dam, went on a really long ride last saturday with my bro-in-law. Destination was mydanahalli black buck sanctuary and devarayana durga on the way back. Covered both places with last minute addition of goravanahaLi also..total distance covered..336 kms.. in a day..tiring..but definitely was fun..some

was actually hinting at something else..let me clarify..what he (it must be ‘he’..only guys can be that crazy) actually meant was this..long rides on bikes are bum numbing.. so ya..if you are planning to go on a long ride..especially with/as a pillion..and if you don't have a well cushioned posterior..then take my advice and make up for the lack of natural asset..pad up..that will go a long way

No you filthy gross mind, I am talking about the view that you get looking 'outside' the smallish-almost-a-ventilator window.So, what is this view?Imagine being able to see lots and lots of concrete buildings stretching till the horizon (ya thats not interesting).

I have been going to a 'new' dentist (new for me, that is) since about a week, about my dental problems, obviously. Today, after a sitting of root canal treatment, the doc cemented my tooth, and asked me to bite, so that the cement settles down in proper shape. Now, you should let loose the horses of your imagination, not too loose..just..get them running. Think of me sitting, in an almost

The article mentions things likeBooks and written material are treated with respect, as they are considered the concrete form of the Hindu Goddess of Learning, Saraswati. So a book should not be touched with the feet and if accidentally touched, the same gesture of apology as is

I realised that I :* cannot listen to talks for more than 2 hrs..* dont know how a speaker's talk blasting out of huge speakers can put me to sleep when a distant shout of pushcart vendor can disturb my sleep early in the morning.* cannot stand the way prospective students line up to talk to prospective guides (felt like saying it in stronger words..but it aint my bussiness buddy)* hate the

I was sitting on a plastic stool, having tea at a roadside stall in front of iit main gate, at around 6 in the evening..the rush hour traffic, the dust raised by those vehicles, that incessant noise of horns, crowds of people hurriedly crossing the road..it was like a scene out of a movie capturing one of those crowded streets of mumbai..and for some reason, it occured to me that had someone told

I hate sunday evenings..not all of them..those evenings which make me feel that I am all alone..nobody to talk to...nobody to go out with..nobody to cheer me up..being with friends doesnt help much..there will be this gnawing feeling of loneliness..I end up forcing a plastic smile on my face all the time I am with them..I am not saying that I want someone special..I just need someone to be with

Since the bomb blasts, I have been reading lot of posts on news sites and blogs about mumbai and mumbaikar spirit. What strikes me most is the way things are being portrayed. Most of the media and blogs are lauding the city and its people for coming back to normalcy in a day. Its the 'never-say-die' attitude of mumbaikar!!!Helloo..Arent we forgetting something here? Shouldn't the city stop to

Last tuesday(july 4th) was the big day when we were supposed to present our POS tagger and chunker in national workshop on AI and come home richer by 4k. We had put in 2-3 days on the presentation and demo. All we had to do was just go there, blabber something, demo the system, collect the prize money,certificates and come back home.

It was like any other lazy afternoon. The post lunch mood (and need) of (long) siesta was too much to resist and I hit the bed with intentions of having a sound sleep for two hours atleast. The amount of fluid intake in the form of 'nimbu pani', served in mess during summer afternoons, was uncomfortably high and my bladder threatned to give into to the pressure. I tried to ignore the threats for

So I, like any other male, tried to put on a wooing act.

consider this: There is a common course for 'all' first year PG students at iitb. The exam for this course is to be held on a monday evening between 6.15 pm and 7.30 pm. Total number of students expected to take the exam is close to 400. This time slot clashes with another course's regular class timings. The number of students who would miss out on the class as they have to attend the exam is

Yesterday I had a dream in which I went to a party at my cousin's place. Most of my cousins were present in the party and I suppose I must have had a good time :)So what is so special? you may ask. There is nothing special about that dream.

I saw this article on Lal bahadur shastri on rediff. After reading that read this and observe the difference in what two of the closest people to shastri say about him. I dont know much about Shastri to comment on who is saying the truth, I am ashamed of that. But the polished answers of the son, Anil shastri, which are almost at the level of boot licking, madam is god, approach of congress men,

Why do Doctors 'use' such bad writing?Yeah, I am referring to the people in white coat whom you visit when you are so ill that you can not visit anyone else.

If I hold the mobile near the table in my room, I get IIT Powai E , just move two steps to the right, wow, it changed to Powai B, now go 3 steps backwards, voila, you have

For forgetting things that I want to remember and remembering things that I want to forget! Coming to the first part of forgetting things that I want to remember, have tried so many methods which teach you how to remember things, like...hmm...err..well I can't remember the method! Worse still, I can't even make a conscious effort to forget something that I don't want to remember, because of the

Have been reading the book 'Sherlock Holmes complete collection'. A good book, needless to say, but one aspect of the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that I liked the most is the way the evidences of the crime are presented. All facts / data are in front of the reader, most of the times, and the only (huh?) thing that is to be done is connecting them in a logical way, which ofcourse is what

I wonder why is it called so. Agreed, some people sneeze so hard that their nose may break away from their face, but surely it cannot run on its own.. because it doesn't have legs you dumbo. (I am laughing my nose out..imagining the sight of my nose running away and carrying my specks with it.. hehehe). Needless to say, I have cold and the quantity of outflow from my nose for the past two days is

Had been to pesit, after a long time. Not because there was a sudden surge of affection towards my (old?) college or its lecturers. I had to apply for my TC (Transfer certificate). Richie gave me company..I dont know if it was his affection towards pesit/lecturers or just the lack of anything better to do, that made him come with me. So there we were, on a hot sunny saturday, in pesit campus.I

I am not a movie buff. The last time I went to a theatre was I guess in july last year, almost a year ago, to watch Troy. This review of the film parineeta convinced me that its time I visit PVR. Although the review has more details than necessary(it pretty much gives out the end) the writing style made me feel that I have to 'see' those things happen on big screen. May be I will watch it this

And so has my headache ..sob sob..because of sinusitis (not again!?)Anyway, lets forget that.There are sooooo many things to write about that I thought of writing about it!! As Richie would say, sorta meta post...Some of the things that I want to scribble(i) some updates, like me 'formally' submitting my resignation and me getting TA for my m.tech..(ii) some more updates which are not really

is tough, doing so without hurting the other party is tougher, especially if the other party is your boss. Today out of the blue my lead came to me and asked me to be part of campus recruitment scheduled for tommorow. I was totally taken by surprise, I had no idea that innvo is going for campus recruitment, let alone the schedule for it. This put me in a fix as I had made some other plans for

That is how the 'hukka' is supposed to sound, when a veteran smoker smokes it..but when i tried to take in some of the cheery flavoured tobbaco through the intricate system of pipes and water of a hukka, it was silent as though it had died of suffocation. Yeah, yesterday I smoked for the first time in my life and I would say it was a disappointing experience. All I could feel was the cherry

Yesterday I was watching Massive Engines with Chris xxxxxx on Discovery, and the topic was pumps. The kind of things that were done using steam engines in late 19th century England is really amazing. Whether it was pumping out water from 300 feet deep mines at a rate of 200 buckets a minute or fighting fire, steam engine was the answer. In my view the most extraordinary achievement was using two

On my way to office I saw a man, a mason, smoking a 'beedi'. Yeah there is nothing strange about that, but what amazed me was the look of satisfaction on his face. He was one happy man, really enjoying his beedi. This made me wonder do all people get same amount of satisfaction from smoking? I dont think so, because I have seen so many grumpy faces with dangling cigarettes in their mouth. So if

I have made a decision that I am going to blog regularly, whether i have something to say or not. This hopefully should help to improve my writing skills. While I am writing about my writing abilities, I shall write about something that I have observed. When I am typing something I tend to forget spellings of most common words. For example today while posting this blog I could not recollect the

i noticed that what i write does not exactly match with what i have in my mind..case in point.. my comment in teju's post .. now when i read that..i feel it has come out in a diff vein altogether.. also my comment to my previous post sounds so childish :(

I have recurring sinusitis for quite sometime, but have been ignoring it or taking some common tablets like sinarest. I know i have sinusitis when i feel something running down with full force in my forehead when i bend, which has become a common occurence.I did not know treatment for recurring sinusitis may include surgery..i did not know that this awful thing has so many implications..i did not

and looking for an involved solution, for an 'apparently' complex prob is what i excel at. Infact i remember one of my female friend saying that all men do the same.. complicate all problems/situations and find the most complex soln to it..and feel proud that a hard prob was solved..guess she is right..in my case atleast..
