search strategy

what is the kind of search strategy that you would put in practice if you plan a court marriage? oho, you devils, i am not talking about searching the girl, i am talking about searching for a lawyer in the alleys of our courts. :D

i guess what we would do is roam around in the corridors until we spot one who is most clean and appealing in appearance (although i would never mind a fresh PYT from DU law faculty ;) - you know after all if we as responsible citizens would not give chances to freshers then who would :p). but you know what these firangis do, they go online and land up some lawyers like Simmons Jannace Stagg with just some clicks. although it is a pity that these sites don't show your the pics of the lawyers :p ;). now this is what you call pleasure search.

rentals

i was taking to a friend of mine in Preston, England the other day. He was pretty displeased with something and after some nagging i was able to extract that the cause of his displeasure is his apparently quashed plans of opening up an office space in London which has seem to overtook Tokyo, New York and Mumbai in terms of office rental rates.

I was pretty surprised... i mean i have heard the names of Tokyo and Mumbai in the list earlier but it was really susprising to discover New York office space at such steep positions.

fairs

swaying away from my favorite F1, i was browsing this NASCAR site when i landed upon those photo galleries which made me recall the India international trade fairs and Samsung and LG stalls in them. people are crazy about legs worldover ;)

anyways what i like(i think i should write about what i like becasue if i start writing what i hate about it, then it might even become my longest post till date :p) about IITF other than those le.. oops i mean the new and fresh technology at display (speaking with serious demenour) is the way these stalls are build. i mean maybe we couldn't really understand the way they are built because of the unhelping crowd, but if you happen to go to some less popular fairs then you might see the stylish trade show booths which actually make the core component of these fairs. i've heard that the smallest stall space cost in lacs in these trade fairs thus making it imperative that they be the most attractive piece after le.. oops featured items on display :D - especially in terms of their construction, lighting, banners and other characterstics which draw crowds to them.

girls

i am trying to figure out what is it exactly that applies to each and every single and available girl :D alive on the face of earth between the age of ...ummm... 20 to ... ummm... 30

i mean in some movie the female says that "females want to be pursued...", that is true to an extent, but i want to know something that is more powerful.

unlike the new stupid marketing gig on our idiot box nowdays. every company seems to be selling fairness creams in India, i mean this is crazy, not 'every' girl wants to be fair, i mean i hope that there are some who think that they aren't dumb :D. and over and above this, quoting that swami ji who teaches yoga (he is much better than those who teach philosophy 24X7) - ek kisan ne apni bhains to 1 saal cream lagayi, par wo to gori nai hui...

so i mean, i want to know what is that something that 'every' girl would fall for :p

apologies

i apologize to mother nature for i abused it some days back...

cold

this bloddy bugger of a virus of cold knows how to screw you hard. lord, pls give a kick on this bugger's ass so that it gets off my back.

trip

I missed this one awesome trip which Prashant made it to the Valley of Flowers. Here are some beautiful pics from the trip.

software

i wish we have some pure indian softwares in the market, small or big, it is very important that we conceptualise and create new brands and products that find some kind of name in the market and prove that india is not just a factory and can become a design house too.

people out there are creating products that let you create software programs (these themselves are high-level software programs); it is such simple concept and such innovative at the same time. I landed on this website and they have this Web Database Software thing. I found it novel and simple product and if they are able to spread it's name, it might even be a hit but ofcourse that depends on how efficient the product is on the grass-root levels which i haven't checked out as yet. :D

:D

tourist

i have always thought of going out; the way i am at this moment. i am here in pune and trying to decide if i like this place or not. i always wanted to return to my birthplace, that is mumbai...no, not return to, just visit. and i am glad i think i just wanted to visit because after being to this place i don't seem to be liking it that much. although 2 days and just 1 suburb is certainly not enough to understand what a city means but if these two days are any indication then i have loved delhi all the more in these two days.

but i guess a i am being a bit too judgmental because i am looking at mumbai from a expatriate view and not that of a non-prejudiced tourist. maybe that ways i might have liked it. but how could a city charm its tourists? when it has thing that are new and interesting to the visitors and being fair to the city i somehow dint seek these things.

the view i am holding at this moment, i think that i might not even like Italian villa rentals and if that is the case, it would not be a great judgment on my part.

soon

hey people, i would like to extend my sincere apologies to those people who have been visiting my blog but couldn't find anything new. i am 1500 kilometers from my home :(

but will be back very soon :D

:D

music

i wanted to see oscar winning Ray. but i couldn't. somehow off late i have found myself being excited by this music related movies. maybe this was started with the trailers that i saw of Ray. i now even want to read some good book on music, any book... please suggest if you have any title in mind.

i was browsing movies section at yahoo! and landed on this page. this movie is being released on 22nd and it again seems to be some kind of music related thingy. hope it is released in india too. the name is Hustle And Flow.

by the way, did I tell you about this movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. i have read it's plot and i am almost in awe of it, although it might not sound anything special but somehow it struck me, it's a movie about a man first deciding to get all the memories of the girl he loves erased and in between the operation realising that he don't want it to be erased... :)

:D

policy

has any one of you ever been stopped by a traffic cop for an expired insurance policy?

my insurance agent has not sent me the policy and i am perspiring thinking what would the cop charge for not holding auto insurance policy. although i have a photocopy of the recipt of payment to the insurance company for the annual renewal but i don't know how much would that help???

Steffi Graf

as a teen i was in love with her, i still am :D

i jumped with joy when i read a newsline that Graf is getting back in court, i still remember her being greater than tendulkar, greater than anybody else...she was the only celebrity i ever wanted to get an autograph from...

more i write/speak about her, more i would be undermining the respect that i hold for her, so i won't more...

:D

heart attacks

a painkiller Bextra (Valdecoxib), can increase your chances of heart attacks by two times. while surfing the internet i landed upon a website informing visitors about such medicines, i don't know what this website was about but they were telling about bextra lawsuits.

is there any website that tells you that in India if medicine won't kill you then irresponsible doctors would (more so incase you are not a privileged one to afford the expenses of private medication and treatment).

wedding invitations

first of all i don't understand why people marry in these kinda summers. i mean you can't wear suits and all, no good clothes, you don't feel like eating, except for the chilled golgappe ka pani. i can literally feel my mouth watering just by the thought of them. even the females don't look as inviting ;) as they do in winters even for their spaghetti suits. and the most important of them all, how can you feel like going for a honeymoon in this sweltering 45 degrees heat.

all these absolutely thought-provoking issues came to my mind when i saw this wedding invitation lying on the table when i returned home from work. it was the 3rd for this week.

midnight

it is later than midnight and i still don't feel like sleeping, is it becasue i am too happy about something or is this that i am regretting being too happy (if i was) in retrospect?

so much is governed by fate but still we are goverened by the emotions when we know we can't do anything to evade what has to happen.

whys

there are times when you are so happy that you can not contain it, you want someone to celebrate it with. and when you celebrate it, it grows, sometimes so much that you feel like you are in an inebriated state and you want to do something that you can to release that energy. i wonder why is that so, why can't we contain even happiness, why do we want to release it by sleeping or making out or whatever way a person can within his human boundaries?
i guess i am always asking about too many "why's" now days. :p

i guess i gotta give my "why's" a break

:D

ajeeb

yaar these firangi's are ajeeb. i guess their perception of utility of flowers is much different than our. i don't guess flowers have that much of an importance in our life and that is because of our culture. traditionally we don't seem to use flowers that much, take example of our weddings. other than the sehra i don't think that the flowers are used anywhere traditionally (please correct me if i am wrong) in a wedding. and these firangis even have special funeral flowers. i guess it is like the days they have; like mother's day and father's day and lot more. but the day i like most has to be valentine's day :p

:D

wah wah

nayi machine ko dekh hindustani dimag kulbulaya
yuhi bematlab me hi coffee pine the dil kar aya

:D

:D

this was dedicated to the brand new coffee vending machine installed in my office ;)

do you?

why is it that that sometimes you are very happy and at the very next moment gloom takes over. why is that people who use to make us happy are no longer interesting, so much so that you feel gloomy 'after' talking to them. i guess this is what dynamics of nature is all about. things change with time, it's like radio waves plotted on a number-line. the thing that you have starts and surges to a high and then it comes back down. maybe it might not happen if there is an effort and support to keep that state of surge at a high but if it does come down and in most cases it does, it(the thing that you had) feels like a liability. and then you feel the guilt. but do you deserve the guilt?

mom

i guess the most under-estimated lover in our life is our mom. i mean she is the one who can care about you even when she is really angry with you, ever when you lie to her, even when you betray her, or hurt her; i mean whatever you do...

the other day my mom was out of station, i was alone with my younger sis. at lunch-time i asked sis to cook rajma-chawal for me and she quashed my demand saying "i have to watch a movie"; dejected, i lingered here and there because i couldn't go out as it was raining. suddenly mom, who was to return that evening, rung the doorbell.

i ate rajma-chawal in late lunch that day :D:D:D

:D

trash

you always have two options - either you can think that she never deserved you and move on or you can crib forever. i think cribbing is a stupid decision especially when reason like your height is citied.

yesterday I blasted my friend(with reference that yahoo messenger article) for cribbing over her and to my delight I was able to make him believe that she was worth trash :D

i mean this is incredible that you go on hurting yourself over someone who can't keep his(her) words, who thinks that you don't have abs flat enough to bake the pizza of her ego upon.

reality v/s virtual

a friend of mine called me up day before. apparently he has read my last article regarding yahoo messenger. it's funny if not tragic that i am writing about the same thing again...

this friend of mine was courting this female for some time, i guess 6 odd months, online. and she was very excited about him and wanted to meet him as she was really attracted to him. this friend was so too. the problem was that the guy was just an inch over five feet and this girl, i guess, two. she knew it all along and told him that she din't care. sometimes in the last week they met and haven't talked since - i mean online (or else).

i thought yahoo or any messenger brought people together but i guess till reality do them apart...

yahoo messenger

i guess yahoo messenger is one of the greatest inventions of this century. i work for a company that makes this messenger for mobiles and the company is growing like anything. the management is pretty hopeful of becoming the number 1 company in the world in this mobile based messaging domain.

looking at the number of people who are able to communicate through this messenger and getting to know eachother, i guess it is a boon for Indians. i wish i could have this thing at my disposal when i was a teen ;) it is indispensible even now nonetheless.

:D

rain

i never said i hate rains but the reasons for not liking rains are different from other years. the rains are utterly romantic, the way the water falls, it seems to quench all the thirst that our body or our soul ever possessed.

it's been raining since morning today. and it is more than just drizzle. the volumes are more, such that it would drench you in not more than 10 minutes under open skies and i am loving it. i am eating Cheetos Cheese Balls and they seem to be near appropriate substitute for kachories which i am so very much missing right now. i am infact curbing my urge to call up mom and ask her to cook kachories tonight but then i think i should ask her to cook them on saturday morning. i can then eat them, while watching rains, in the balcony.

i just saw people waiting for themselves to move towards their cars, waiting for rains to stop so that they don't get wet. they were waiting and staring in no-space. i smiled and wondered that if they were missing all the romance that is seeping away when they can actually feel it. maybe they were feeling it but i am sure that they weren't enjoying it. i mean i felt like they were looking through the rain. i think looking at rain is as beautiful as looking at full moon. it is as satisfying as looking at some thing of beauty. and i am sure that this is what they call thing of beauty, the falling rain.

curb

i was thinking about the title of some tv serial, curb your enthusiasm, i guess it was. well, i was rather thinking about saying something about curbing your curiosity. it's funny and it's sad that we are not able to hold ourselves. it might be holding yourself back from running into trouble or it might be holding yourself from asking somebody certain thing when the certain somebody is not certain about telling you certain stuff. but whatever it is, i just have one question - why don't we have this knob which we can turn on or off when we want to curb out curiosity.

a small story

it was 8th day since she had left her home, with 3 dollars in her pocket and a slice of buttered bread, to meet him. she could see him cleaning the window panes of the brand new cars that stood glistening inside the showroom he worked. she could not stop her sprint across the road, the truck driver couldn't stop the truck...

power

i wish i had this power to read someone's mind, i mean the person might not necessarily be in front of me because in that case the person in front of me, virtually, be not a candidate to the victim of my this illegible(maybe evil too) power.

i really think and apply myself hard to understand why a person is unhappy because unhappy people make me unhappy too. i wish i could do something to make these people happy. if not bring bliss, i wish i could bring a smile to their faces.

i am not very unselfish when i say i want this power for all the reasons described above but i do think that for this power of mine a few of these people might get to hold me in high regard and some might even get dependent on me and if nothing at all they could love me in those moments when i brought them what they apparently were longing for.

whims

it's a pity how easily we let ourselves be governed by whims and moods of other people...

dilemma

i sure sounds a bit uncanny when we hear that a guy tries to strike a conversation with a girl who is a total stranger to him and asks her out for a coffee. i mean, i don't have first hand experiences of the firang society but i guess they people are a bit cool about it; in the sense that they don't freak out. a dude approaching a PYT and asking if she would care for a coffee along after few stares (i mean here you shld not approach a female even if she seems to be responding to your smile - if you are complete strangers who bumped into one another in front of music world).

here if you approach a stranger girl, the girl even if interested would not respond thinking that the guy might think that she is shallow and the guy would penultimately wont approach the girl thinking that the girl would anyways wont respond thinking that he is too shallow.

drop

yesterday evening went to Westside sale and u've to go through the female apparels section before reaching the male section and words just escaped by mouth:-

girls girls every where
but, not one to talk

:D
