Bored of bored

Hence this post. For a change this is a Friday and I for once getting bored of being bored. I received bolt out of the blue decline early in the morning and that's the reason for this grumpy Friday for crying out loud. You have no freaking clue to what I am talking. An off yesterday and couple of days off in the weekend. The same pattern the next weekend. Wufff...while the world is looking for a break, me in the capital city wants to break this string of breaks coz I don't have any miserable outdoor plans like you.


Couple of stock market jolts in the beginning of this month would add insult to injury today. But I believe in well begun is half done. I've begun well this month in stocks and this air of positivity should be carried over the entire month. There was a stage when I was receiving slaps left, right and center in the last couple of months. What's panning out this month is unknown. Daddy said, don't invest today and I ventured and received the thrashing. That's is the reason why experience counts and you start listening to whatever I say now.

You've got all the comforts but you don't smile. Ok, you means me. Ok, sometimes you too. You like someone who smiles but you cannot smile yourself. In our office, it's like a fine if you smile. Shoot at sight orders aren't far away. People would be staring at you if you smile. Those who see people smile, think that they haven't got any work. They don't understand the simple fact that smile was extinct ages ago in their lives.

Morning my tennis is becoming the same story as your smile story. Sometimes there can be an incorrect analogy. Not fair to comment on my practice partner here, but that's how I get rid of the steam. He doesn't turn up regularly everyday. My coach - where there is none - asks me to buy a new pair of shoes. I told him I don't want to play as a professional and I definitely don't want to play Roger. He is not in a good form this year and you know my mentality. I always take down the best. I was born with this killer instinct ever since I was a child. I always dream big. I want to play Rafa but it's only now he has achieved the No.1 rank after being number 2 for more than three years. So let him enjoy the limelight before I take the centre stage and grab a Goldenslam. My coach - he thinks so - can't play a proper forehand. He stretches, practices for couple of minutes and complains he has a knee injury, so he is unable to play well. He looks like Lalu Prasad Yadav when he puts an excuse. I don't make excuses I think but I definitely don't like them.


Not right for me to comment on him too. You never do right things if you think what you are doing is wrong. Sometimes two wrongs can make a right. Mark my words, one right thing need not always necessary be right. What you guessed over my state of mind on this freaking Friday is absolutely right. Further, I hereby declare that the hints and information that I've provided is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

September digest

The onward train ticket that I've booked for Diwali is still on waiting list. October 28th is Diwali and I booked my ticket on Sep 13th. It was waiting list 21 then. I check everyday and the status remains unchanged for the 3rd Ac berth. With utmost difficulty it changed to WL 20. So you get a sense of what Diwali rush would be like at the railway stations this year. Any number of additional trains and bogies will be unsufficient to fulfill the need for a comfortable travel for this never ending crowd flocking and littering the station. It doesn't get any easier in the future. We are like this only. Time to look for tatkal reservation early in the morning five days before departure. Hopefully there won't be any explosions in the festive season. Fingers crossed, twisted and paralysed.


Identify the station below and get freaking nostalgic if you get the answer.


Yet an other blast rocked Delhi last Saturday. Now people slowly are getting used to it and are paying little lesser attention to what they might have paid couple of years back. Police are doing their job and so are terrorists and anti-social activists. This seconds my arguments and fears which were posted last year. A sense of helplessness is crept into the minds of the people. They are willing to accept that a loss of life in explosion and accident can be as normal as a death occurred due to longterm illness like cancer, heart attack or a kidney problem. The only difference is you can miss your missed ones in a flash without a warning in the former case, which might take days, years or ages to digest.

Work wise I never have spoken much about it here and I don't have any plans to entertain those thoughts in the future. If it really is an ass-kicking one, then I should do justice to what I've been doing, by posting it in here so you freaks can get jealous over it. Jealousy is one of those seven? ten?, some number of sins that can lead to your own downfall. A prime example of that abstract quality is your stock market. Ego is the next one. A prime example for that is everyone, yes, including your dad- mom, sister and brother. Even your angel girl friend and the best bloke on earth, boy friend. You don't know it because they don't show it in front of you.

September has come to an end finally. Never has been the boring month of the year been so active in a calendar year all over the globe. Stock market crashes, financial firms in Us tumbling like nine pins, explosions rocking India, crude oil hitting an all time low, and dollar peaking up the highest since two years, End of the world fears and me getting an official warning at my tennis practice for wearing a torn Nike shoe - it's all happening. I said it was all happening once and nothing happened. So this time I used Bill Lawry's phrase after everything happened.

I am doing my best to keep the post count to three a month. And in the process I did not even realise that my blog is more than an year's old and the writer hasn't written a customary 'One year anniversary' editorial 'lol' post. Conclusion: The interest to sustain is still hanging there.

One of my forth coming posts should probably be on Roger 'The Majestic' Federer. May be you don't want to miss it. You can get your pop corn and coke to grab the best possible seat in the house. I don't entertain cash. I only accept donations via Paypal or wired transfer into my bank account.

Through the 9th month

You freaks for one second cannot think normally? The title said, because this is September and the author was posting it in the 9th month, hence I am titled that way. You are very bad in deciphering the basic needs which means you are a very good resource to any organization to occupy the top ladder, specially tailor made for IT firms. We are still going through the hangover of End of the World theories and my post which I personally felt, was good, instigated couple of my good friends to post a comment, which means the post is worth a read.

Sometimes I try to entertain you and I sometimes I deliberately try to suck the wind out of you with my posts. Either way I am trying to do something which you are not doing. So you get the point. Change starts from there itself. Doing something which others have been thinking for an eternity to do and you putting that one step forward than the herd to show them the difference of what that one step could make, is the inspiration that the author wishes it's readers to take from this brainless blog. In Olympics, it would be a gold medal for your country. In real life, it gives you a chance to explore the myriad of things that you are capable of doing which you initially felt were incapable of attempting. Difference? That one step forward than the regular herd. Read the static quote that has been kept at the top of the page ever since this piece of writing came into existence, if you are still in daze. You get a picture of what I am trying to bark here. Don't step aside but step forward. That's my quote of the day.


Return of one colleague after an onsite visit from the head office has lightened up the miserable lives of few people here. When someone asks me how are things with you, I give the default response, "Yeah, things are good, fine. No complaints". That's how things are during this 9th month. May be I don't want to think too much about the future. You too don't because it is uncertain. There are times when you can find two or more terrific quotes in one post which means, the creative juices are really flowing in my metalhead.

Everyone has their dreams, wishes and dishes. But not everyone is going to fulfill them. They don't lack the desire to fulfill them. Few pathetic freaks give up even before attempting them saying, You should also have luck to fulfill it. I am one of them. But the band of boys in Rock On movie, din't give up even though they left their music 10 years back. One final gathering, one final performance, one splendid climax song to wrap up the two and half hour show lets the audience to deliver their final verdict, which is - Rock on rocks.


End of the world, the series of gory Delhi blasts, financial firms like Lehmann Brothers and Merill Lynch going bankrupt, US economy slowdown and it's after effects on the rest of the world, Stock market crashes and the nineth month haven't just ended yet. This is just the beginning of the end. But there is a Lord and do you know that he is still your friend ?

End of the world.

Woo-hoo. Yes, that's the news that has been trickling in since yesterday night. I thought I was the only one aware of it and I came to office opening the topic, did you know that world is going to end today? One replied yes, but I don't believe in it. And now in the lunch couple of people were aware of it as well. And for those freaks who haven't heard of it yet and lucky to survive to read this blog, these are the two reasons which I've known till now.


Reason 1: Around 10,000 Scientists are conducting some experiment in Geneva. Of those, 30 are Indians it seems. They are conducting a neutron - proton sort of experiment in a reactor failing which, will trigger a collision similar to the Big Bang theory that you've studied in your school days. Threat: Anything can happen in 3- 4 weeks. Reasoning: Acceptable.


Reason 2: Scientists were conducting an experiment to judge the age of the earth. Experiment is being conducted inside the earth with a nuclear bomb planted somewhere in the middle of the earth (May be under your building from where you are reading this post) failing which, the bomb would explode and hence a nuclear reaction triggering a massive scale devastation in the world. Fortunately there are no Indian scientists here. Time for cinema actor Balakrishna to step in and rescue the world. Threat: Only today. Reasoning: Rumour with a humour.


I got a call from yesterday night from a trusted source saying that tomorrow will be the last day. So I'm calling my near and dear ones and you too should call. That trusted source is on project Rover, which is on a mission to Mars and from there I received a text message. You are called mentally challenged freaks because you believe in everything I speak here.

My last wish would be to finish my SRS document for the current project and wait in anticipation that my next appraisal would be better than this year's result. Even if I am the last one surviving on this planet, I would like to send an e-mail with this document as an attachment to my superior. I do not mind if it's only my right hand that is remaining after every body part becoming dysfunctional after the nuclear attack. All I need is a PC with an internet connection at broadband speed. Now you understand my work dedication and commitment to the people with whom I am associated with.


You can start fulfilling your unfulfilled wishes starting from today till 2019. Now here is a valid reason that will make you think twice about, What if the world suddenly comes to an end ? Check the link here if you still don't believe me. Stop pissing in your pants and live life to the fullest. That thing twice a day and load of chocolates regularly should keep you happy, as told by one famous Hollywood actress.

For the interested, here are the official links about the project (Large Hardon Collider) and the myths associated with it. About the project. The Big picture. Project homepage. Best and worst case scenarios. Myths and news.

Think of it. What would you want to do if you know that, today is going to be your last day. Call everyone? Cry loudly? Pray God? Withdraw all your money from all the stupid accounts and enjoy till the last penny? Visit Babydolls for one last time? Meditation won't be so bad to test you concentration at this hour. Take revenge on your foe? Do social service till you are alive ? Compile the stupid code? Crash your monitor really for once without thinking twice to vent your frustration on your inability to code? Engage in a no-holds barred laugher at your dumb Manager right in front of him? Kiss your loved ones for one last time? Take blessings from your parents? Or like me, finish off the pending work and send one last e-mail to your boss with your trademark e-mail sign off signature?

My unshaven beard for 10 days has already started itching. This probably is the first sign for the dooms day. You must have already heard my famous quote which fits the bill to the tee in any context for any situation. If you haven't here it is again for you to note it down in bold in your bird brain. You can only run, but you cannot escape.

August digest

That's the way it is. US open started and I am also getting started tomorrow. Not to Arthur Ashe stadium but to my home for a week's break for Ganesh Chaturthi. We are not having an off here for the festival, I wonder why? It's one of those few festivals which should be celebrated in all parts of India. Rather than keeping up the three posts per month count, I don't have much to post here coz nothing exciting is kicking in my life. Not in your life either.

People are thinking twice to shift their companies considering the slowdown in the US market. That's been always the case. If someone in US is affected with cold, we will be taking the medicine praying for a speedy recovery for that bloke. Don't dig your bird brain so deep if you do not understand my terrific, soon to be recognized by Oxford Dictionary- simile. This year everyone is happy with whatever peanuts they have. For a change, that's good to see people contented with their things rather than having a wild goose chase after everything. Job seekers - my whole hearted good luck fellas.

I got affected with cold and it's been a week I guess. For the past three days I was feeling better though it's only one - one half of my nostrils which are under function than the normal two. Traces of fever came and I think they are gone, though with some travelling to do in the weekend, anything is possible. That's an attempt to draw some sympathy from you unsympathetic - pathetic freaks for crying out loud.


I can understand you almost feel the same to what you've read in the pic. If you don't feel that way, I would feel that way when I hear your story. Not always I blabber whatever here should be written in red and painted in blue, coz you never have a semblance of clue. Before my kicks are any due, it's better if I say I shall see you.

Megastar Chiranjeevi is entering into politics

Normally I am not film crazy freak but yesterday was one incident when I felt relieved to see someone trying to bring a change in the politics and none other Megastar is suited for the job. Hence this post. Default liner that can be written in red : Every telugu person has to like Chiranjeevi for what he has shown and how he has entertained us on the silver screen at some stage in his life. If he doesn't, then that person has a serious defect in his cranium that has to be rectified.

The news is finally out of the bag and Megastar Chiranjeevi is entering into politics. Yesterday there was a press meet in his party office and it kicked off with a bang. The entire state was glued to the Tv sets by 3 p.m to see the meet. Only TV crew and reporters were allowed for the meet and the hall was packed to the maximum.

Chiranjeevi started off the speech by confirming that he is entering into politics and cited couple of reasons for his entry. Cameras started flashing and a little turn of his head resulted in atleast 20 flashes. He stated that he went on to meet Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam few times and during one meet, the man Chiru respects the most, went on to say that " You should enter politics. I am not saying this because you are a movie star but as a person I know you are good at heart". That's one incident which cleared the suspicion that he had over politics.



Another incident that moved Chiru quite deeply was when an IT professional wrote in his letter moments before his death that, he could not vote for Chiranjeevi and he could not see Chiranjeevi as a politician. This is one incident that made Chiru determined to enter into politics.

After that Chiru was telling how the four people who were there as a background poster on the podium on which Megastar was standing, have influenced him. They were Dr. Ambedkar, Bapu ji, Mother Teresa and an other eminent personality. Chiru is particularly an ardent follower of Mother Teresa's principles. After finishing his uninterrupted speech for about 15 minutes, he let the press to fire their questions.

Chiru answered every question patiently and courteously giving a chance to most of the reporters. He did not try to avoid any question. Questions regarding the party flag, it's name and it's ideologies will be revealed in the Mega meet that will be held at Tirupati on August 26, which also is the birthday of Mother Teresa.

Chiranjeevi answered almost all the questions with ease. He was very comfortable and confident while tackling the media. He was little formal in answering them. Had he shown his tinge of comedy, the crowd would have been spellbound. Below are few questions from the plethora questions that were targeted at him.

Reporter: Do you support leftism or rightism?
Chiru :I support humanism.

Reporter: What do you do when you come to politics? How are you going to do any better than others?
Chiru : I may not do different things to what others are currently doing but I will definitely do things in a different way where the result of which should be felt down to the poor.

Reporter: Do you stop acting in movies?
Chiru : It's very heartbreaking to say that I want to stop acting in movies. If there is any awareness type of movie and would be useful to the society, I would definitely do it.

Reporter: From where would you like to contest in the elections?
Chiru : I am free to contest from any place in the state. People wanted to me to join politics and I am here because of them. I do not have any problem contesting from any place.

The last question he finished off on a high note.

Reporter: What do you know about politics so that you have a right to enter into it?
Chiru : I don't know about politics. But I can understand the pain of the poor. When I established blood bank I don't even know how many blood groups are there. But when a person whose relative was survived with the timely supply of blood, that gave me immense satisfaction which neither of my movies could give when they went to become all time hits. I will try to make sure that the poor are really looked after.

To sum it up, he said in one of the lines, till now I've acted in various roles. I've received your appreciation, I've got money, I've got name. I am NOT entering into politics for name, fame and wealth. I've all of them in some quantity. I could act in movies but in politics, I don't have a chance to act. I have to live in it. From now on, my life will be dedicated to the welfare of the poor and the well being of the society. Jai hind !



Chiru posed in front of the four people as the background and stretched his hands wide smiling. He showed thumbs up and that should convey the message to every freaking politician on the circuit.

Birthday babble

Though a bit late, still its worth to describe by latest birthday. If you freaks don't know, which I know you don't know, it was on August the fantastic fourth. I don't remember when I cut a cake the last time. Probably it could be in my previous birth or may be when I was unable to talk kid. So I cut a cake in my room and a surprise cake in my office as well, which was organised by my room mate who also works with me. It's a good feeling especially who experienced the draught of cake cutting in his miserable life time. A better birthday's to remember than the previous one, sure no ?

A stage was reached in my life where I felt.....

But when I eventually did the honors, I expected people to feast on the delicious chocolate cake in the office, just like this.



But they controlled their taste buds. For freaking what?

Infact birthday's never been special or if it were, I don't know if they were. This is a part of my ongoing series of psychobabbles which you would be hearing. May be I don't want to kill you by describing what I've done from the moment I got up. Sounds awfully weird. So I kept the description short, that is, if you felt that way.

One more project is down the drain and it's incessant rain in the morning, which is making me think twice whether to attend the tennis practice or not. That Sportingo thing that I've blabbered in my previous post was like a shock like spike in the arm that made me register and post couple of articles on tennis. Infact, there was a free bag on offer for those who contribute in the month of July. I'd be lying if I posted there without any malicious intentions.

From the beginning of August it has been a repeated dosage of slaps on the back of my head, just above the neck and below the convex bulge, from stocks. Daddy says, law of averages is taking it's effect. You can make losses or you can recover from your losses till you stay on level ground. But it's definitely not easy to make profits so huge that you can afford a space trip for few hours.

August 15th is coming up next week and everyone is planning for a long weekend. I am also planning - to stay home. Because I am not going out, I am scaring the heck out of my friends who reveal that they are going out for vacation, by saying, you have to face the brunt of traffic jams and frisking by Police if you are travelling by road into Delhi. If you cannot do it, scare others the heck out of it. In that way you attain some consolation by seeing the fear in the person's face which would satisfy your undiminishable tonnes of ego.

After one year of constant fighting to stop the clock from ticking, I've recently become one year younger and there is a little portion in me, which pops out inopportunely and says uninhibitedly, "I'm 18 till I die".
