Eventful month

Not for me for my elder brother who got engaged on Monday (21/09). So finally September has done some good to one of the folks in my house. People are saying that, he has cleared the line for me. I say, when was I ever blocked. The last time I was blocked, I punched the iron bricks to smithereens with my metal knuckles so hard that I've started developing iron in my body with rock as my nickname.

Whenever I see some freak has landed directly on to this blog and has left without a comment, would drive me nuts. But that also forces me to come out of hibernation and leave my remains here. The fact that this blog is still alive is because of some nosey people existence in this world.


Next Monday and Friday being a holiday, everyone is planning for a trip home. With three days leave, they can have a whole 9 days starting from this Friday. Bumper offer. But I am staying here not going home because of my brother's marriage in November. Not that I don't get leave but just that travelling could become taxing. Even I planned for a near by trip on this Friday, but with cold still in me and my room mate dropping at the last moment, I am bound to cancel the tickets.

What a great opportunity to prepare for interviews during the long weekend and plan to move from here. Unless someone kicks from the backside or you feel that you are sitting on an iron grilled chair with no cushion on it, one will not shift a company leaving the comforts behind. Waiting for the big kick that should be arriving by the end of this year which may eventually rock the bottoms.

I am glad that this stupid month has gone so fast with a much needed event in our house that everyone was wishing for.

Now that I am not into politics and tennis you are left free this time without getting dumped with much of unwanted information no matter how much ever you want to read it.

Unforced Errors:

1. There will be one unforced error in this list on which you will be glued and would be longing for more information.
2. While women allege that men are pigs, men allege are sure that women are bitches. And life goes on.
3. I was watching "Little Manhattan" in my return flight from home and a person sitting in the back row was so fascinated with the little love story that he was forced to ask the name of the movie.
4. My mom is pretty happy that she is going to get a daughter in law who is so active.
5. Justine Henin has returned to tennis after retirement and I can never become her fan for her diminutive figure.
6. My best mate advised me not to show your desperation for girls even if you are desperate.
7. If you are moody with your wife after marriage chances are that she is going to have an affair with your next door neighbor.
8. Chances are more if she is a housewife. Get a freaking life if you do not understand what I am barking here.
9. Learning Java independently by browsing the online tutorials is never easy. What you learn in 10 days exploring yourself will be learnt in one day by sitting in a coaching class .
10. Blogger has added a check mark option while uploading images. Somebody has spanked Google or what with lawsuit?
11. Glad is one word which I've been using often. Glad is such a word that does not evoke any positive feelings like happy, enthusiasm, zeal etc. The word glad is sad.

Nine is fine - 09/09/09

This type of date 9/9/9 comes once in every thousand years. The next time this date would appear is on 9/9/3009. Because you and I anyhow will not live up to that date, I atleast am providing you to see the date visibly here. By that time I think the world will come to an end. 1000 years hence, price of one kilo onions of could become Rs 1 lac and people will be drinking oil because oil gets dearer than water.

It is actually the number nine that is forcing me to put up a post and provide some refreshment to you freaks. The sum of all digits of the year that I was born add up to 9. Test for your brains now to calculate the year if you haven't known already that I was born in 1989. So first thing when I receive a roll number or a telephone number is to quickly sum up the digits and see where it adds up to.


It gives one a slight confidence and a feeling that everything would be fine, if an important occasion or event falls on their lucky number. My engineering roll number was 36 and I screwed up the percentage.

For most of the freaks who believe in numerology number 9 is considered to the luckiest. Next is 7. Next is what ever miserable number that comes when you sum all the digits of your birth year. If the superstition takes control of your mind, then you even start summing up the serial numbers that you find on your mouse, monitor and the key board.

Sachin Tendulkar used to wear a jersey 99. Dhoni sports number 7. HW: Find other celebrities or sport stars who wears fancy jersey numbers.

Mind is like a monkey and that monkey is trying to rap on nine, even when it knows it sends shivers down the spine.

Nine is fine,
It is always mine,
Neva eva whine,
'coz nine is fine.

Ask for a dine,
Stand in a line,
Toast with a wine,
Wait for the decline.

Go to a shrine,
Pray the divine,
Do not ever resign,
For nine is fine.

Seven is heaven,
Fight like Bevan,
dash dash en,
Cannot say Amen.

Now that first standard rhymes had brain washed me and you, I am attempting to come with nine unforced errors.

1. There are ninety nine numbers before hundred unless you count zero and negative numbers.
2. Playing a nice guy role all the time in your life to ladies, should eventually lead into a rant.
3. Shifting our work place to the old building again is driving me nuts.
4. Compaq cup tri series cricket is going on in SL and no body is even bothered to take a peek.
5. Not always one has to live up to his promise because in few years you and I are not meeting down the line at street number ninety nine.

Sep-tum-ber - The useless month

Of all the months in the universe, the ninth month of an year is the useless in my opinion. A waiting Ninth month we know is very exciting for men and women to see the result of their overnight efforts.

I do not know who has created the names of months or where they came from. But the name September is the longest and boring of all the month names. Time to rant on September rather than on Federer for a change. Oh wait, how about including a month called Federer. September, October, November, December, Federer..... Naa... it did not suit.


Often the boring of months, a september, goes unnoticed in everyones lives unless your miserable birthday day falls in this month. My opinion sometimes is written in stone and meshed with grid iron. Imagine if you have your marriage day falling in this month and that is some torture.

1. You forget to remember the day and get spanked by your wife.
2. You don't have mood to celebrate it because it is in September.
3. At this time of the year, where do we go honey?

Months October to December run very fast like a cheetah chased by deer because of festivals starting from Dussera, Diwali, Ramzan, Christmas and culminating with the New Year's eve. So these are the most exciting ones in everyones life. Most of the times, I decide which is exciting for you.

August is my preferred month because some stupid calendar assigned a name Leo to that month. More than that, this August was an expensive month for me where I went on to buy a watch, mobile, a laptop, a jeans, a shoe and an underwear. Finally I could avoid the sneers and jeers of people who looked at my Nokia 1112 super phone by going for a Samsung star 3G mobile.

Watch - Tommy Hilfiger
Mobile - I already said it
Laptop - Dell Inspiron 1545
Jeans - Levis 511
Shoe - Nike
Underwear - Local made Jockey


Looking at the list myself, I am finding that I am so rich a guy. But what you do not know is I will be using all those mentioned things till they are faded, broken, stolen or torn ( the last item).


I do not want to grill you by explaining the details of couple of goods that I've bought. But because I know you've got nothing to do than read whatever I dish here, I am going to provide couple of lines of review on my Mobile and Laptop. Watch you have already seen it and even if I explain you the difference between a quartz or a hand keyed watch you would understand in such a way that you are going to visit the wikipedia page on watch.


Samsung Star 3G mobile ( S5603) is the latest entrant into the market. Samsung Star was a hit and Star 3G comes with a dual camera is launched to bank on the gains. It contains a 3.2 MP camera and has a flash which was absent in Samsung Star. Star 3G has a meagre inbuilt memory of 70 MB which the phone comes loaded with and it is expandable uptp 16 GB. It is a touch phone. Even though the touch is not as smooth as iPhone, it is still fine. The display is touch smaller compared to Star.

Drawbacks: Not really other than the music clarity when played from the media player. Sound quality is good with the headphones. Samsung though is not known for their audio effects in their products.

Overall a good touch phone for a price of Rs 11,500/-.


Dell Inspiron 1545 is light weight and stylish looking. I would have loved to have the touch pad to be more sensitive. Sound clarity is fine. A 4 GB RAM, 250 Gb hard disk, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with a Windows Vista Premium edition has punched a hole in my pocket which would let Rs 39,600/- to go through.

Drawbacks: I am touch worried about the battery life of this laptop. Battery charge is being consumed as fast as you suck juice from a draw.

For you new born babies, the advantage for taking a Premium edition instead of the basic edition is, Dell would be providing a free Windows 7 OS once launched into the market.


My adventures with new products have ceased for this year and it can probably open next year. As I type, I hear someone singing a song in the canteen for someones birthday party. Glad he finished the song in few seconds and received his fair share of claps. Atleast the useless month has turned useful to him in exhibiting his talent. Hoping the same here also.

When was the last time you showed off like I did here? Probably when you got a Camlin compass box in your school days.
