Damn, I have been waiting for some jobless fellow to mention this, but no one has. So , I’ll make a quiz out of it. What does my most recent Custom Header Image signify ?

Remember, no points for answers you think are funny. I hate funny.




Losing Track of Things

8 05 2008

I don’t know. Of Late I am losing track of things. I don’t seem to find the time to do anything at all. I have been sleeping a lot. That’s for sure. I manage to watch a couple of movies here and there. But I think the problem is, I am trying to do too many things. What’s worse, I need to do even more things and I don’t see how I am going to find the time to do them. This is the problem with my vacations. I always have a lot to do.

Some of the things I need to do:

  • Start clearing those movie backlogs of mine. :) I have so many movies waiting (even begging) to be watched
  • Do a bit of coding.
  • Do a bit of Power System Operation and Control.
  • Do M1,2,3
  • Read other peoples’ blogs. (Something I haven’t had the time to do in the recent past. Weird really.)
  • Errr, prepare to get into Infy.
  • Get a gat.
  • And a few more things.

Let’s hope I sleep less and work more. :)




Indian English-Part I

4 05 2008

After completing today’s ISRO Scientist Entry Test (which I am sure to flunk), I was walking back home from Thriuvanmiyur Signal. (The one between Bus Depot and RTO) and I saw this poster. How we Indians kill English.  :)

Byeing and Selling

Ness Wadia (and hence Preity Zinta too ;) )sure has reasons to be happy about. Bombay Dyeing is creating quite an impact on Indians.

Oh, the numbers are blanked out because I don’t want to be flooded with comments saying “I want a house in Adyar, Thiruvamniyur Area. Can you please SEND ?” No, don’t!! I am not a house broker.




Miss-Spellings

4 05 2008

Things I keep coming across and forget to write about.

On the Internet,

I am not blah blah blah. So please bare with me.

Yea, ok. I’ll bare with you. Will you bare with me ?  :P (Assuming the person is of the opposite sex of course.)

On Orkut,

This guy is really Circastic.

Yea, yea. You must be too.

On gtalk, by Harish  ;)

Deccan Chargers are expensive Chockers.

Well, this was a typo.  :)




Thank You, So Very Much

Whoa. We believe you so very much.




I Choose Therefore I Crap

13 04 2008

Intro

The About page is normally supposed to explain the existence of the blog. However, I thought I’d dedicate another post to it.

I don’t know why people blog and honestly, I don’t care. It could be to stay connected, to feel good about oneself, to contribute some information or maybe even earn a bit through paid reviews and thing like that. There are also people (even if few in number) who want to give vent to their artistic side. Believe me, I’ve read a few blogs, that has left me spell bound. The creativity of these people (even if few in number) is truly phenomenal. However, posts are few.

Different people have different reasons to blog. Sure enough, they have the time and they have a reason to blog. I  am not going to be ill mannered by going and asking people why they blog. This post is to ward off other ill mannered people from asking me the same.

Why Crap ?

For me, blogging is an outlet where I discuss the silliest of things. Crap, if you like to call it that. If you have observed, I never discuss important things or things that actually matter to me. This is for two reasons, first being the fact that I like to keep my writing lighthearted and second being the fact that I don’t really care what other people think and think I think about issues I actually care about. (Read that again, if you didn’t get it) Last thing I want is people making judgements and telling me that I should see things from their perspective. Why on earth would I want do that ? I loathe people who do that.

Crap

Matter Matters ?

I know lots of people think blogs should have a purpose and a motive behind them and maybe people who think that are right afterall. However, I blog when I have completed the important things that need my attention. :) It’s just that I never blog about them. This is a place where I write to give myself a break from other work. I do write about things that matter to me. But not here. :)

Outro

Oh, damn, that sounded a little serious. Got to get back to writing silly stuff.




Google Chat Emoticons

12 04 2008

I don’t use Gtalk. I use the one that’s integrated with my mail instead. I use Skype to make calls anyway and use Yahoo Messenger for my Instant Messagingneeds. So there’s no point in installing yet another software. The Gmail, Gtalk integration is pretty cool, even if it can be annoying at times. :D

I was pleasantly surprised to see two new sets of emoticons or smileys on the integrated Gtalk today. For people who use smileys quite a bit, like me for instance, this is a welcome change.

This is how they look:




Catching up to do.

12 04 2008

I’ve been wanting to write a few posts, but have been tied down by some work or another. Now that I have a weekend to myself, maybe I’ll do a bit of blogging. :)
