Feeling the cold

I am feeling the cold. Not the winter cold yet. That I can feel after Nov.15 as told by JC garu. This is the regular climate change cold that everyone experiences with the onset of winter. I felt the same in my Inter and since then every time I get cold I tell that there is a change in the weather and water. Today my handky in my faded blue jeans pocket has become as wet as a cleaning cloth drenched in a soap solution. Because of it my pant is slowly getting wet and feeling the effect of cold now. Cold here now is not the common cold caused by Rhino virus. Do not strain your tiny brain to know what you see below.


Handkerchief has been my saviour today. Otherwise I and my fellow colleague would have been swimming in my.....I leave it to you. Steve Waugh always had a red handkerchief in his pocket while going for the toss as a superstition. I always have it in my pocket to prevent others from passing my cold infection. Atleast I am not shy like you freaks to take the handky out.


People complain that I always have a running nose even when I am standing. I always wondered why. Putting my cold aside for a while, you freaks also have a running nose most of the times. Breathe this air with highly loaded dust + toxic pollutants and come to me if you haven't caught up with cold even after inhaling such air. I will be there to pass on the virus to you and you can to your friend, as an olympic torch. Ok, if you din't like the joke here you have a cold joke while I hear someone sneezing without my intervention.


I should be pretty delighted if this cold doesn't transform into flu which few of my colleagues had experienced last week. I don't take pills and run to the nearest doctor the moment I catch up something. Reason being, I have resistance in my body ranging something to measure of kilo ohms, with which I can withstand from commonly infectious viruses. I let it heal naturally. We always preferred a double barrel rheostat in our labs. I've stolen one and got it absorbed into my system as Arnold did in Terminator and hence that resistance. That trick could be done only by professionals under expert supervision and please do not try that at home.

It's a Sony

Like everyone else, even I am fascinated with Sony products. Even though the prices are on the higher side for an Indian consumer, I still think they win hands down on any product that other companies come up with. I am able to afford a few things a bit now than I was in the past and hence this - you may call it - revolution for the perfection. So in an attempt to own a few of them without going for a loan, I bought a Sony Audio system which has 5900 Watts as PMPO. If that hasn't held your heartbeat for a second, this picture shall. If it still doesn't then you got to hear it to believe it.


It's screaming from the bottom of it's lungs that the model is MHC-GZR8D. Please clean your ears so you can feel the beat of the audio. You know now that you have to click there to check the specifications. For the challenged, I don't work for Sony. Things are in sync with what I blabbered in my last post. You must have bought Bose. So freaking what? I cannot afford that much, you long nose.


Again, things are in sync for a week but not tennis. Watching Madrid Masters late night will only add to my misery of getting up late and missing the practice. Winter has set in. I never went out so early in the morning in a rickshaw even to school. I am going coz I am paying them. You go in a rickshaw in your shorts with gentle winter breeze and you will understand what I am trying to bark here. You can do nothing but sit cross legged after the experience. Fortunately I was NOT a child prodigy so I never had to attend tuitions early in the morning in my school days . Special classes and tuitions are for the retarded. I'd be lying to you if I hadn't attended coaching centres for the heck of getting through the cut-throat competition of 1 lac competitors breathing down my neck.

I said I would be writing tennis articles only when I've got work, at Sportingo, in the author description section, but you know that I blog when I don't have work also. Now that officially Winter has set in, with sunlight fading even faster than you think of your last rivalry between your friend, it's time to stay indoors and stay warm. The rest is upto your guess. Women charmers should be having their field day(s).

You feel good when you can afford somethings on our own for your own. Owning a hi-fi audio system will definitely please your senses whenever you listen to it. You can see the 'wow' effect in the eyes of the visitors who see it for the first time. Afterall, ___________. ( put the title here)

Thy name is Grudge

I've been drooling over my post on Roger Federer at Sportingo, which you can do as well by clicking here. This is an indirect way of diverting the traffic to that site which I've unable to do myself onto my blogsite. You can even drool at Minissha Lamba in the movie Kidnap, for without her, the movie would never be having those collections what soever. She has a genuine knack for acting, which I like. But with a cute face you cannot see those slutty dance moves in songs.

If something is not happening to you, doesn't mean that it should not happen to someone else too. That's called freaking grudge even though the other one hasn't harmed you in any sort. I've seen blokes who cry on someone else's prosperity when the crier infact never prospers. They have these seeds planted in them right from their schooling days, where your fellow student gets half a mark over you, and you start crying. If that was considered childish at that age, what is this crying being a professional, exhibiting these traits at this age be called as - foolish ?

You call it jealous. I call it grudge. You look as bad as this if you have it loaded in tonnes in your body.


Federer is returning to tennis and so should I get back to my practice courts, which had three days off on account of Dussera. It's been a week long break from tennis. The good thing with few days break is, either you shots would be way off the mark or you could produce some jaw-dropping shots right out of the screws. I am expecting the latter to follow tomorrow.

Apart from that, Aussies have started their tour Down - Under in Bangalore. It's no more termed a down-under coz they were successful in their earlier attempt to win a series in India. But this is a series which India is expected to win with a famed batting line up.

This month should bring in some new things to my home. I shall let you know when I get some. Remember, when I reveal something it doesn't work out ? I had this weird feeling since my bachelor days and people say I hide. I get you but you don't freaking get me. TGIF. Ok, I will tell you it's abbreviation, don't head bang on the table. Thank God It's Friday.

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.
