Jai Ho... !!!

Ghajini...!!!

Our country bleeds, what CAN we do... !!!

What can you do...yeah....what CAN you do.....your country burns right in front of you eyes, you brothers and sisters are killed in cold blood in broad daylight... the hopes of people who hoped against hopes for the return of their kith and kin are shattered.
And yeah...the people who died are no way related to me, I have never met them, probably I had nothing to do with them, but still deep inside there is a feeling which says "those are your brothers..."!!!

Our country bleeds.... but still what CAN we do... what the bloody fuck can we do... !!! We have been hit with umpteen calamities umpteen number of times, but whats the lesson learnt.... NOTHING... !!! Have you ever thought why didnt the terrorists strike US for the second time, why not the Britain for the second time or atleast Israel for that matter... !!! Why is that in all these terrorist strikes not even a single politician is killed.....and why is that the common man is targeted every time....!!! Sadly the so called responsible citizens to whom we have given the responsibility to guard the sovereignty of our nation are a just a filthy set of ugly MFs who wouldn't even hesitate to strike a deal for their own mothers.


We cribb, we cry, we agitate, we revolt, we criticize, we scrutinize, we give full blown ideas,
we need revolution, we long for a change, we send motivational forwards, we are patriotic( we stand up everytime the national anthem is played in the theatre... !!!) , we pay taxes and not to mention we blog as well.... !!! But why the fuck can't we VOTE.... VOTE goddamn it... VOTE...... choose your leader, excersise you bloody right...then cribb and complain... !!!

Till the time we dont choose what we want, we don't get what we want...!!! Atleast thats what we can do.... atleast thats what we should do.... !!!

My heart fills with gratitude and respect for my brothers of the Armed Forces, who time and again prove that they are the pillars on whom the honor of our nation rests... !!! We salute the Armed Forces Personels, the NSG Commandos, the Police Force and the Martyrs who laid down their lives in the operation...!!! Jai Hind...!!!

Bishkyaaonnnnnn....!!!

Wow...birthdays are a time to rejoice. More than the party, booze, beer and amidst all the cheers , i feel its the time when the child inside you is touched or at least the child inside me is touched. Thanks to amma, appa and namru for making me realize the child within me.... !!! Love you all... !!! and Happy B'day dude.... !!!

Corporate Conversations

This happened a couple of years back. The time when we were just cub software engineers in this vast software jungle...huh...... not that now we have become lions.... !!! It was the time when we were scared about the managers, the time when a single mail from the manager would make us go berserk and slog day and night.... !!! The time when managers were corporate GODs for us. This happened with our protagonist Mr.Techno Venkat. This is the mail conversation between our protagonist and his manager, a day before the release

Manager's Mail: Venkat, the" xxxx" module that you had claimed to be completed coding and successful, the SHIT doesn't work. blah..blah...blah...bish...bish...bish...bishkyaooonnn... bishkyaooonnn... dhidum... dhidum.... dumeeel !!!! ( Yeah, same blood...uh...!!!)

(At that time had I received a mail from my manager with that tone, I would have literally pissed in my pants)

Our protagonists reply: Okay, Fine. (Perrrrrriod)

Whoa....I mean wow... that was an apt reply which would make any manager go MAD, FURIOUS, DISASTROUS or even CARNIVOROUS.... !!! But truly, the reply wasn't meant to be in that cold arrogant tone, it was just that our poor Techno Venkat didnt know what to reply, so he just said "Okay fine". Of course I don't know what happened the next day, but I would have really loved to see the manager's reaction... !!!

Meeting @ Vanishing Point

This was first message I got on Monday 22nd Sept'08, the day I joined Juniper Networks. And know what 'Vanishing Point' refers to one of the meeting rooms there...!!! whoa....this stuff rocks man.... they have named all the meeting rooms and cubicles based on movie names ...!!! Hah... feels good to be in a place where people respect you as a professional, where there are no bossy tantrums, no instinctive hasty meetings and most of all I don't have to face some of my previous colleagues and bosses who presumed that they ruled their employees... !!! Yeah this place is professional.... no its not the first day impressed employee speaking....I mean..... yeah..... may be becoz previously I had worked in a such a setup, I might just talk like one.... but this place is truly professional... I mean its just cool... !!! Seems like I have just landed in a job where I can project myself as a software professional.... !!! Oh my god its so nice to get a whole cubicle, all for your own... I mean you can rule' your' space...!!! You know how nice its a feeling to get a comfy chair for which you don't have to hunt around every morning, the A/C works, the restrooms are clean and you dont have to stand in queue, I get my own safe parking space where no body tampers with my babe(translated bike), breaks my indicator or writes his girlfriend's name on my petrol tank...... its really nice to be in a place where people are sensitive, sensible and professional.... whoa atlast I reached a place where I deserved to be in.

May be.... life is a full circle....!!! Had I straight away come from Huawei to Juniper, I might have taken this kind of life to be granted, but working in one such setup and then coming here was something to reckon with and realize that nothing is taken for granted...!!!

All the best macha...!!!

Indian movies have finally come of age..... at last after a long hiatus, I got a feeling of paisa vasool after watching Rock On and A Wednesday..... !!! I would say "A Wednesday" is an intelligent movie where as "Rock On" is a movie about your true passion....!!! Both these movies strike the right chord, coz probably this is the first time any bollywood director attempted to make movies that deal with two of the niche and untouched subjects: passion and intelligence.... !!! Yeah.....its an intended pun, coz probably I feel majority of directors in bollywood lack the two essentials of film making , passion and intelligence... !!! WTF.... movies like Singh is Kingg which, leave alone being intelligent , do not even seem entertaining go on to become top grossers... ???

But amidst all the crap.... Rock On and A Wednesday are a must watch....this monsoon !!! Be it the stellar performance by the cast or the picture perfect direction and editing..... these movies rock and are a guaranteed paisa vasool.... !!!
