JFU

Me back and again ready to rock n roll.... but before I tell you all about my trip... the moment I reached back in Pune.. Everyone seemed to be in bliss. Finally came to know that they've been to our Dear manager's ancestral village on the weekend. Sounds fun. I know I was missed a lot and after hearing the intricate details I feel I should have been there... One of my friends Ms Neha Pandey the lucky one to be there, described it like this... She doesn't maintain a blog, so I am putting it here for her. I’m short of words to describe how that ONE-day was. So if anywhere you find “…” you know you have to excuse me. It was an experience so unbelievable that in the morning you got up in that noisy polluted place and within hours you’ve reached a blissful serene meadow. Jaded grass, kids so blameless, elders so affectionate, and the food…you can chew your fingers with it…. The journey started not so early but still early though for the people for whom Saturday means...

I am back.. I am tired..... Goodnight

Come to think of it, there is nothing in life that I get a kick out of anymore. Not anything to do with computers, nor anything else. I'm just living life from one day to the next, dreaming of the day I will find that that gives me a kick, preparing for how I will handle my future from then on. While not having the faintest idea what the thing in question will be. Or even be like. This is good news! It means I've finally cast away the shell I've cowered under all my life. It means I'm free from past assumptions of purpose in life (to be a "software engineer," as I used to say), free to make my own destiny, free to coin my own definition for meaning in life. This is cause for celebration! Sometimes I just love that irrepressible optimist in me.

As I've matured..... I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I've learned that it is not what you wear; it is how you take it off. I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not to pet the sweaty things. I've learned that ex's are like fungus, and keep coming back. I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it. I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jackasses.. I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it. I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think. Updates * had to dele...

Smiles all the way.......

Guys and gals...a beautiful friend of mine has reported that the pic on this blog has crossed all the limits of so called immaculacy. All I can see is beautiful blend of lights and shadows. Just pick up any news magzine section of any newspaper and Voila we all accept whatever is poses we see in there... Why dont we call it a porn edition rather than accepting it as the happening in world around us. But this pic here makes people indiffernt. Or maybe if I put a rose background then I'll be the perfect rose, or if I'll put some iron clad body... I'll potray that... Cant we just take it as something statuesque, magnetic and wondrous... What do u say...... ?

I could tell you all about the young Bihari auto-driver who used to work in a cloth factory and now drives an auto despite the irregular income only because he is his own boss, but I won't because I just did. Instead I could tell you about how I sweet-talked him into letting me drive his auto, and how it's great fun to drive one, and how its steering is delightfully sensitive, and how I had to relinquish the wheel after eliciting a cry of "Gaadi ka satyanaash ho jayega!" ("The vehicle will be destroyed!") by taking a speed-breaker with unwise gusto, and I did because I just did.

Its been 6 hours and still the same track repeats in my playlist unceasingly. Guess.. Which one.........! The only hindi song that makes me maudlin ....

Last night, I was sitting here alone in my office, working, when I heard a phone ring. It was my office-mate's mobile phone -- he had left it here and gone out. I answered the call, explained that he wasn't around and embarked on my descent into senility: 1. I decided to call him on his mobile to find out where exactly he was. 2. I dialled his number on my mobile. 3. When his mobile rang, I cursed my luck for having to deal with two phones at the same time. 4. I picked up his phone and was surprised to find that the caller's name was mine. 5. I even answered the call before realizing what had happened.

My name using Egyptian Hieroglyphs!
