The stupid month again

The moment I thought of this month, I quickly remembered the Septumber post I once posted and hence the stupid title instead of a repetition.

Anytime you sleep at odd time, rather even time, from 8 to 9 pm will generally make you stay atleast till 12 in the night and will make you do useless things like posting a blog. Bet it would have been a productive utilization of time in your school days if you had taken naps at that precise time I've mentioned.

Blogs which were once a revolution in the latter part of the last decade suddenly are appearing obsolete or they already are? The ones who do not have time to post blogs anyhow will not post but the ones who used to post regularly like me are also not posting means..what it means..? Effects of English getting screwed up by joining hardcore service based companies. You really have to work in one of these cheap top IT labour companies to understand a thing or two on how people think great about themselves in working there doing the sort of routine work they are doing and yet claiming to the outside world that they are doing some cutting-edge research work.


The Man, The Machine, The Match-Streak

I had to read what my last post was and when. What's happening to you freaks in this world? If I send you a hola it will go to the infinite spaces into the universe but can never hit a person or an object to traverse the path back. So I am not sending a hola message. Anytime felt what is it like barking like a mad man at your own space just because someone is providing it for free? But I am always not seven-up but one up above you because you are reading what I am barking.

There are moments when I experience sudden bursts of buying a DSLR and do a price search on the web, especially the cheapest and the latest Nikon D3100. During one such intermittent bursts season I happened to see a Nikon showroom in a mall and I dropped in there. Knowing surely that I am not going to buy one for Rs 32,900 I mustered enough courage to ask the sales person to show me D3100 locked in the glassdoor. He opened the key and gave me a D3000 saying that they dont have a 3100 for demo. With not much difference between the two models, I took a picture with the D3000. My first picture from a DSLR in the showroom. My first reaction? Isn't the picture dark? I get better clarity and contrast from my point and shoot. Asked the salesperson the same and he said, it will be like this sir. Thanks, but no thanks, I gave it back and went out thinking how are such beautiful pictures produced from these cameras. ISO, fps, settings, aperture, depature? I did the last. A lay man like me should first understand why Bjorn Borg was ungainly when he made the transition from French Open to Wimbledon, before commenting on the DSLR's and their experience. But when I held it with the 18-55 mm lens, it was light. I know now for sure that those intermittent outbursts to buy a DSLR will now not be frequent anymore.

Sharapova's weight you know? Just 59 kgs with that height. But her movement is always like cow-on-ice and she never impresses me, least her high decibel level. I wonder how she won her first Wimbledon title at such a young age. Where was Serena then? Serena strangely still has a good chance to win this year's USO despite her long absence from the game.

Thought I could write lot more, but I wrote lesser than what I thought I could write.

Unforced Errors:

1. Roger Federer fans are not seen voicing their opinions anymore. Have they shifted loyalties? Or have they stopped watching tennis totally? Even the die-hardest are doubting if their man can get past the semifinal round in a slam. Where are his ladies who-needs-a-life-and-are-getting-one-now and gets heartbroken for his every loss? Are they still crying? he..he..he..
2. Novak Djokovic, take a bow.
3. Where is Andy Roddick? Supporting Anna Hazare?
4. Btw, that nationwide movement against corruption which every educated freak has supported will only eventually go down the drain. That is the reason why I never got charged up with all the hoopla and hypla. Nobody can arrest the Parliament or the ruling party.
5. The Dhoni fan has finally gone to shed and the countdown will begin for his head shortly. You need the ODI result still? This could well be the series that people will not forget in the days of excessive cricket where people are having amnesia over the series that India is playing oflate.
6. Then there is a little matter of one hundred for the one man, which his team had dedicated the ICC world cup 2011. That will not happen too.
7. One finds lot of time if his wife goes to her native. So much time that he can come out and blog.
