  • Weekend Plan

    Here is what I plan to do this weekend.

    1. Sam is going to be in town over the weekend. So have fun with him, eat out, watch movies and roam around and gen laccha. TK will also come over for a while.
    2. Reinstall Windows and get the machine at home up and running again. (Should remember to backup data before that.)
    3. Probably install a copy of some Linux. By the way, did I tell you I had DSLinux installed on my Windows box over a VMWare Player.
    4. Do something with the domain I bought a couple of days back (More on this later).

    By the way, my phone number might change over the weekend. Will update the blog once that happens.

  • Life’s a Roller Coaster

    It is funny how life can be at times. Right from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of misery.

    Today was one such day. Started of with a nice feedback for my performance at the job in the last half year, progressed nicely with an unexpected mail from a friend after a long time, a good call with a client. But then God thought, enough good things for a day.

    One of the worst calls ever in my professional life. Basically tore us down for everything and anything. I do admit that we were at mistake but we weren’t that bad. We had the results, but not arranged as she wanted them to be. My bad.

    Damn!!

  • Donate your eyes

    You will after watching this ad. Simply brilliant and very moving.

  • Aur batao!!

    If you and your friends find each other saying these two words over the phone a frickin’ number of times then I am reasonably sure that both of you are working.

    A good friend, who I do not know why I do not speak to that much, called up late last night and as we talked she told me how there was nothing much after office to do and that life had become so bore. I told her in a long discussion (perhaps the longest I have ever talked to her on phone I guess and otherwise) that she should find out something to do. Maybe read, write, travel and most importantly do something that interests her. The punga I think is with her organization where she does not get time for herself or to do things that she likes doing, and she being the hardworking girl she is, slogs off and that frustration builds up.

    I know the sign and this feeling over comes to me every couple of months and I have to do something to get over it. I regualrly go visit friends (Tk and Bharathi essentially), make it a point to meet all friends who pass through Delhi, even if it is for half an hour, and every once in a while I make trips outside the city, Jaipur, Hyderabad, Dehradun etc.

    What else can one do? Any suggestions??

  • Feeling Lonely

    No idea why, but I somehow feel very lonely today.

    Anyways, watched The Pursuit of Happyness today. Must say that it is a pretty good movie, totally worth a watch. Totally loved it, and especially the love of Will Smith for his kid (also his son in real life) and the trust of the kid in his father. Should give it 4/5.
