Don't Panic..It's Mostly Harmless

back to school !

2005-08-25T23:05:00.000-07:00

its again the time of the year when kids get back to school ..summer's over for good ..
as for me stil the dilemma continues whether to get back to school or not ...its been a real long sabbatical from studies ....phew.. almost long 4-5 yrs..
but i think i should atleast get moving now ..a b-school would be a better off option..but peter robinson do paint a very pretty picture in the snapshots from hell !!

damn the US & Europe b schools are so freakin expensive !! my gmat plans look so bleak ..i'm broke

moreover i really want to work in India ..so that kind of student loans i cant even dream paying off in Rupee :-(

so it leaves me the option study in India ..rght now i hv an overstayed innings in the industry hvin completed 4 yrs now ...but most of b-schools in india seem to be so much inclined towards freshers..am i gonna fit in there ?

One of my all time favourites :)

To The Crazy Ones

Here's to the crazy ones.

The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them,
quote them, disbelieve them,
glorify them or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do
is ignore them.

Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.

They push the human race forward.

Maybe they have to be crazy.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?

We make tools for these kinds of people.
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.

Think Different

Foot Note:
On September 28th, 1997, during the broadcast premiere of Toy Story, Apple unveiled a new advertising campaign that attempts to inspire people to new heights, and to choose Apple as the brand of computer that will help them to do so. If nothing else, this campaign has promoted thought and discourse on the subject of Apple; people are talking about the ad, and about the message 'Think different.'

Shall we tell the president ?

The Rainbow
- William Wordsworth

MY heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

Movies & Milkshakes ...

Yuck ..the movie 'Constantine' sucks!Liberal dose of fundas like the Son of Satan being born from the Spear of Destiny which killed the Son of God,Lucifer coming to save the world from the Son of the Satan - it says that their styles of operations are different & the Son is more dangerous than the father..OMG ..i wish we had opted for the 'Million Dollar Baby'.Its just that the Spear of Destiny had struck us & we were destined to go thru this hell ..Expected something in lines of Matrix from Keanu Reeves but alas..Rachel Weiz looked beautiful but far from 'The Mummy' days.

Saving grace for the day : the yummie 'Turtle Caramel Nut Milk Shake' from Steak 'n Shake

*Happy Day Song

2005-02-16T22:51:00.000-08:00

Love and Grief can easily be replaced

Pain and Joy will not last forever

Don't look back go forward

Because the choices of yesterday

Helps to make the person you are today

Make mistakes but have no regrets

If you do, don't for what you've done

But for how it had occurred

Life goes around in circles

Sometime you may rise above your own expectations

sometimes you may not

Life must go on

Never let the troubles of the world get the better of you

Each day set a new aim, face your fears and

Never do or say anything to make people comfortable

Do and say things because it's the truth

You can never go wrong with the truth

Feel free to cry and laugh at yourself

It's good to feel stupid sometimes

Meditate on your problems and hope for a better tomorrow

Never be envious be grateful for what you have

Cause there is always someone in a greater or less fortunate position than you.

Don't rejoice in your neighbours loss

Never place your happiness in other mans land

Never be afraid to love

Never forget your past

Never forget people you meet

Be courteous and kind to the elderly

Because they are the representation of what you'll soon become

Never forget family and friends because

They are the best link to your past

Take care, think before you act

And enjoy the present, hoping you'll live for tomorrow

*Life (and salads)

Life (and salads)
- Jason Quek
For me, it's all the experiences that I've been through, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the laughter and the tears, the friends and the jerks, the black and the white... everything!

You mix them all together in a large salad bowl, add some salad dressing, there you go - Life. Don't like the asparagus and brussel sprouts? Then don't eat them. Don't like the tomatoes? Well tomatoes are good for you, but it's your choice.

You want some olive oil to go with your salad? There you go, ma'am, pour all you want.

Life.

I never said it was easy and happy. What I'm trying to say is in your life, there are the good stuff (like croutons and bacon bits) and the bad (like asparagus and sprouts). Everything is "nicely" package. We just sometimes forget to look at the price tag hidden on the underside.

The good stuff, enjoy all you can (while they last). The bad stuff, you can either force it down your throat, or push them to the side of the plate. But if you keep staring at the asparagus and keep thinking about it and worrying about it, it's not going to turn into an apple slice, it's not going to change things, and while you are doing all the fretting over your stupid asparagus, you might be missing out on some of the good stuff.

The salad bowl is Life itself and we didn't have the choice of what we ordered in the first place. We weren't shown the menu. That, perhaps, is the sick part.

sambhar day :)

2005-02-16T22:25:00.000-08:00

*Remembering a friend ..

2005-02-15T09:43:00.000-08:00

It Isn't Time That's Passing

Remember the long ago when we lay together
In a pain of tenderness and counted
Our dreams: long summer afternoons
When the whistling-thrush released
A deep sweet secret on the trembling air;
Blackbird on the wing, bird of the forest shadows,
Black rose in the long ago summer,
This was your song:
It isn't time that's passing by,
It is you and I.

-- Ruskin Bond

whoopie..wheres Cupid ?

2005-02-14T23:51:00.000-08:00

Did the title sound cheerful ? I guess its a feeble attempt to cheer up a rumbled down soul...i know shouldnt complain too much .But lifes not fair.Today Cupid is the guy whos supposed to be @ work ..not me!And look at me ..here i'am still working 2am in the morning ....

I know i write buggy code ..that doesnt entitle the world to make me sit in the office at these unearthly hours.....lol ..'n things r supposed to be BAU by morning ! Beats me !

well i know shouldn't be kicking off my stint in this supposedly "revamped" attempt at blogging with this frustu posting ...but again its just one of these dys

But the weekend was pretty cool .watched the movie 'Black'..its a really beautifully crafted movie..Bhansali is good ..last i saw of him was in 'Devdas' which was a disappointment ...but hes bounced back here..'Black'- a thumbs up movie.Go watch it :-)Friday night dinner at chettinad palace just added a feather on the days enjoyment .

Saturday was a lazy day ..just a couple of pages &calls.so on athe whole a cool day ..just went out for the books & starbucks ...

Sunday the story continued ...Run Lola Run is a fundu movie..loved it
Went out for a walk in thepart after gaes...the climate is no longer cold...it was a beautiful evening ..(can't comment aboout the morning ..though it felt wonderful snoozing off :-)) )
