Off late, i heard a friend of mine, settled at dubai talking about the snow fall there.. Wow., that happend in Egypt too.. How does it matter to me, I am a part of Bangalore, which has never seen and hopefully will never see the snow fall.
I changed loyalties! And the new one to whom i should be loyal to, asked me to move on to a snow filled area., where there is less sun, more snow and ice!!! The only place where i was shouting for ice was at the waiter, waiting at bhagini for the drink that used to please my friday!.., Between the fri (es), it was ICE and a bit HOTs too.. mixed emotions.
So... am here, a little far away from my home! There is nothing Indian about the place that i stay, but a lot Paki, Sri Lanka and a little bit of iran and afghanistan too. I wonder, why do people cross over borders ?? I was really amazed, not to find a single mallu so far.... thats how they say, that there has to be a mallu wherever you go!!... Probably, i take help of the mirror myself. I'll atleast find one!!
The temperature has been treating me negatively, oh yes, negative to the core, sometimes even to the double digits.. :), But precisely towards the end of winter and beginning of summer., It hasn't gone to the upper digits.. Whats it like to be over here ? absolute crap., thats coz, back there at home,there's something called as IPL 3 gone "ON AIR". With you tube delaying video by 5 mins, I dont really feel the pinch, which is far far better than calling or emaling a friend of yours back home to know if your team (MI it is) to have faired well ??
Between, the kroner and the noks (the currency system here)., I'd also been asked to walk! Oh yea, the post AB effect.., Walk when you talk, Walk N talk, talk n Walk.... but here., its silence.. There is a company to walk, but tedious, or probably that extra workout..! Walking in the snow is a little more difficult than walking in the plain roads of bangalore/mumbai. As per my memory goes, it was the same effect when walking in the sand..! It was at the tedious best.., so what do i learn out of here ? Snow or Sand, the effect are both the same.!! Yeh, Saala hamesha beech waale hi faste hai..!
Signing off for now...! with a lot of Norwegian song in my next blog..!!
Lost of Luv, (jaane kaha gayi woh).,

Shudd up & Walk...
The time ticking 5.06am on my computer's right hand corner that gives me enough reason to sleep, but here i am doing something, that i shouldn't be doing. I'm gone Insomniac.
My basic problem is that i dont have a problem, but then why with the sleep thing ? I guess i am working too hard and my mind is full of WORK (hope my manager comes across my blog). I had also been thinking (from past many weeks, which adds upto months and year maybe) that i have to start exercising, so that i am fit enough to have a good baby sleep.
I took this as a challenge really and made sure that i give a start to it. Last sunday, turned out to be the show starter and it ended there itself. I'd a brisk walking for almost 6kms. Not a bad one to begin with. But there were a lot of things that kept me going for the next round at the park where i went for this walk. Oh yea, guessed it right, some bhavras and few flowers!!! The observant me, didn't really have much time to gasp....
First things first, why do people round the park as if they're in the temple ? i am always fond of rounding right to the left, which is precisely opposite of what people walking from left to right! If so the case, I guess, they even gotta remove their footwears.. Kids.., Awesome! for the first few minutes only, later the parents are annoyed with what they see. The kids dont give them enough space, for those who say, its not true... Wake Up! have one of your own.
Those flowers and bhavraas (bee).... love to see you like this, But u see.., am alone and am on a walk mission., All i could satisfy myself was by saying, See his brotherly love for his sister., Wow! Gives me a break ;) . The mystery becomes terrible when you see a change in skin tones, Like a Chinki Flower with a Kannadiga Bee, Seems like the guy loves his step sister as much as his own sister.
I wonder, what does the newly wed couple have so much to speak in the park for the talking that they do prior wedding over the phone, post wedding in the bedroom and for some even talking that the neighbours hear. Yet, the whole lot comes on a sunday eve to spend their so called useless evening to be asking each other... "So... What do u think ?" Dude, Whatever i think, do i have a choice ???
Whats up with the little vendors who walk along on the park? The most amazing thing that they need to be taught is BASICS OF MARKETING, if thats only a subject. I am not making it complicated, but then, would you mind change on purchasing anything that they sell by each extra round that you take ? And especially when its not water ? Enough is enough, what crime has your readers done to be tortured by your walk stories ? Just Shudd up & Walk !

Titleless...
Hmm... amazing title, isn't it ? why is it so ? that's because, i don't have anything on mind. If at all there is something in my mind, its all about nothing. I believe this is just another silent phase of life, where i eat less, play less, work less and most of all, even sleep less.
I wonder, when everything in life is so less, why are the phone bills running NOT LESS. Huh.., I need to find a reply to this! Deep within me, i have a feeling of not being very me! does human change along with time ? Yo, why not ? But isn't it time that forces us to change ? These days, I'd been doing nothing great than keeping update with movies, The best of all, i seen the flower show at Lalbaug for the first time after being in Bangalore for the last 5 yrs. Had a pretty tough time for the flower., but it was nice being between flowers, where, although everything was natural, nothing seemed like one.
The other thing that's going around is with the Russel Peter's comedy show. I had been impressed or depressed with him that i had been going around repeating his dialogues all throughout and recommending the video to my friends, who in turn started repeating his dialogues too. Cheez! that's too much unwanted attention for this racist pig, who feels there is nothing Indian about him.
Huh, Speak about racist, who isn't. It just comes in different form, hot, small, cold, dark, tall, shallow, big.... (name it and here it is...). Its the level that matters all, The one at the international level can speak of the skin colours, where as at the lower level, we can very well compare about anything that we see. In between this, i dont wish to forget to say a hello to our Bal Tackrey saab. Basically, you are the king of it. Luckily, that i know marathi, i can survive to be a cabbie at Mumbai. Thanks.
Even, with nothing on mind, i managed to write 3-4 paragraph about something that i feel., Just to give justice to the title called "Titleless" that i used here., I should have remained dumb.
Love you for keeping up with this.,

A tale of States.
Man.., these state bifercation has blown the wits off me. I dont feel anything less than 5vi class se tez, I myself dont know how many states in does India as such have now. The only thing at risk here, if not anything else is the software called SAP (Software of Andhra Pradesh). What would happend to the 40K engineers who come out freshers with 3 working years experience from the engineering colleges there ?
After the split in the north, the split has finally re-hit the south before being hit a few decades. The software engineer in me, still cries for SAP. Should we split the company itself into SRS (Software of Rayalseema) and SAT (Software at Telengana) and so on ? If not anything else, I am also concerned about the desis settled in the US of A, They were asked to learn the language Telugu even before trying their hands on Microsoft of Java products. I hope they dont ask for a re-partition at onsite based on the location that they belong to now. Cheez! Take a break.
The cause of all this ? Mr. KCR, on his live-to-diet hunger strike, resulted in having a different state for as less as 7 lakhs people. Wow, If its only 7 lakhs that required to have a state, we may as well have as many states that we want in our own very metopolitan cities. i.e CST State, Thane State and Vasai State (in Mumbai) or Maybe a BTM Layout State, Malleshwaram State and of course, Vidhana Soudha state (i.e coz of few lakhs visiting the office everyday).
All in all, I am working my way out! Thats towards re-naming india. I am going on a sub-way hunger strike, I shall not eat anything else than Subs for having my country of states have a peculiar name from india to UUSI (Un-united states of India) or Should i also call it as United States of East ?
Whatever the outcome is, I am damn sure that, just like KCR, i am gonna shed some weight and you're contribution of a sub, would help me only stronger for the cause.!! Join me in saying, WE WANT UNITED STATES OF INDIA, JAI HO SUB!!

Commercialization, yet again...
Where was i this long? i'd just gone missing., so missing that i even googled to search myself, the reply came back saying.., no results found.... Cheez.!!
I was working and working and working, like fasting between meals :) Off late, i had a terrific project, and this was OUT OF THE BOX thinking. hmm.. you'd seem to be quite amazed, out of the box thinking.., and its been assigned to this moron ? huh..., stop that lousy thoughts, its not gonna get you or me anywhere.
The project came from a mega millionaire organization. The organization which has a wood and log behind it and is preceded with many like holly, bolly, kolly, tolly and many more which i am not even aware of. The post recession, when the actors and actresses started charging less for movies and films, came another dilemma how would you earn a bit (a lot) more.
As i'd always been working as a consultant, they approached me. Consultants have a unique mind, quite too much for the OUT OF THE BOX thinking., and then as it is, we were talking about an idiot box, but this time with an unique and strange idea. I was thrown open the entire ocean to think, but at the end of it all, all they needed was money.
Me, being an Internet freak, and even more into watching cricket., decided to implement an idea called the ticker on the movie screens... huh, anything great ?? nope, not at all. But, the copy cat me had an idea of google's ad sense behind the back of my mind. Strangely, but not amazingly, Aamir was my mentor, and hence decided to pick one of his movie Ghajini, for a start. Being a pilot project, its implementation would have had me just going ahead testing the idea..., so then, i started with analysis and requirement gathering and when almost done with the waterfall model design, decided to implement my project. If not for the entire movie, would have the ticker running for the highlighted scenes of the movies. Luckily, to grab people's attention to the pilot project, I'd also included some puppet shows, political statements & whatever i could do it make it a success.
This is how it went... I'd a database of all the advertisements available in the market and let my program pickup the advertisement based on the scene.
Scene 1 : Aamir on the fight with Ghajini's gundaas, the ticker shows " Gandhiji's Anti violence message..."
Marvayega mera ad sense.. :), But still did not give up hope....
Scene 2: Aamir gets down from his private jet and there's a little ticker rolling down the screen saying... "When was the last time, that you did something for the first time... Emirates, Keep Flying"
Good... Its working to an extent...
I did not want to watch the entire movie, because, i'd already spoiled my new year day, going for this movie. Hence, put the movie on a Fast Fwd mode, but amazingly, my code worked in the fast forward mode too... JLM (Just Like Me).
Scene 3: When Asin says, "There is no network coverage, Dabba phone hai...." and the advertisement below pops... " For ~hello~ better ~hello~ network coverage ~hello~, Switch to~hello~ Tata Indicom". Aamir wouldn't have been too amused with it, nor Aircel was, That's because, they'd close relations with "AIR"
Scene 4: The police officer locates Aamir's place to find the map of mumbai... Gosh, this is where google really showed its skills.... "TRY GOOGLE MAPS, Easy and Convenient..." it said. I was speechless, Who wont be ?
Scene 5: Asin is hiding in her new house and the gundaas searching for her all around and just about to leave the house when Asin's mobile rings.... and the bottom of the screen pops.. "Choose your Ringtone Wisely... The Zoo Zoo feeding the crocodiles.... " that was a killer one.. ;)
In between all these scenes., there was ads of Red Label, Domex, Benz, Converting autos to CNG etc being played...., but the last of the least was...
When Aamir, hits our Ghajini with the Iron Rod.... The Message displayed.... " Natraj Pencils.... Aur yeh raha Sixer...., out of the boundary " followed by Sachin saying.... " Boost is the secret of my energy...... Dhoni Joins along..... O U R - E N E R G Y "
Till my project gets approved...!
Luv,
Dhinu!
