O' Buddy ... Where arth thou ??

It's just one of those days...A day when I feel like the entire world is caving in on me. Why ? Frankly I don't know.. I just feel this way sometimes. Its depressing ...really ..depressing . Its at times like these that i really miss having a "FRIEND". Now dont get me wrong.. I have oodles of friends ...(380+ on facebook and orkut when i last checked) ..But then ..there are friends ..and there are "friends"...!!

Let me go back a few years... When I was a kid ..I used to go to this fancy I.C.S.E school ..while all my friends from the village went to the local schools. This created a huge disconnect amongst us , and even though friends with all of them ...I never really got the opportunity to open up to them as much as i would have loved to. I was always viewed as elitist or that rich kid who goes to a fancy school !!

Then came college . I was full of my own problems in college. I was this grossly overweight kid who was viewed as a nerd by most people. Blending in with the "Oh-so-cool" crowd was never gonna happen ...and even though I made some good friends in college ..most of them were uber-geeks and were just friends because of the fact that we could exchange study notes etc.

Then I went to Grad school to study Computer Engineering. Grad school was fun , and as I was away from home I started to enjoy my new found freedom. But then ..I fell in love ...and fell hard. So out of the four years in college ..I was in a relationship with this girl for 3 years ...and that pretty much took up most of my time. I started ignoring people ..and spending most of my time with her...and this caused my friend list to take a serious beating.

Then we broke up...
And i realised ..that I was alone once more. But I was already out of college and working , and had little time to myself ..let alone for others. Which brings me to the point of this rant... I dont have any true friends , whom i think i can trust. All those who had the potential to be true friends over the years , have either faded away ..or are not in touch anymore. It's like asif i was in a coma all these years...and now i've suddenly woken up!! But the room is empty...There's nobody to help me out... Nobody to tell me that they're there for me..Nobody to help me walk again. I feel so alone and depressed...and worse than a prisoner in solitary confinement.

I'm the type of person who needs someone to talk to. I need someone to tell me that its all right , I need the love ..the attention ..the words of solace when i'm feeling down and low. I need someone to tell me that they have faith in me ...Someone who'll trust me unconditionally. I need a friend who I know will never ever spill out my deepest darkest secrets .. I need a friend who'll take a bullet for me . And if you think I'm being selfish here...you are wrong !! I'd do the same for my best friend too. I'd do every single thing and much more..!! I'd gladly give up all ny friends just for one person who truly understands the sea of randomness that is me. If only I had a true friend... If only.... :(

The ghost in me..

Sometimes.. i look into the mirror.. and all i see is the ghost in me.what have i become..? What have i turned my life into? Ever since i remember..all i wanted to do was stuff related to adventure and exploration.climbing mountains..exploring the paths less taken...going where no man has gone before (okay..i borrowed that last line from star trek), but today..even though i'm sitting here with this comfy desk job at a software company..and pretty happy..i still cant help thinking...Is this what i really want?do i just wanna go through my life being a slave of the system..? Believe me..its not the money..or the sense of self satisfaction..its just the yearning to unbelong.For instance..i've always wanted to escape..just take a ticket out of here and backpack across europe.. Or visit the temples of angkor vat..be mesmerized by the grandeur of the macchu picchu ruins..I wanna live with the monks in tibet.. Pitch a tent in the middle of the amazon rain forests..climb a mountain just so that i can scream out from the top of my lungs..even though i know no one's listening.I wanna do all this and much more..and yet..when it comes to making a decision..i get cold feet.I start thinking about the present..and how such plans could affect my future.Its what i've become..conditioned to this life..safe inside my security blanket. And happily chained to my office desk.I wish i could break free..i really wish i could..but the saneness (or is it?) in me prevails.these dreams take a backseat..with the hope that one day..i'll be determined enough to follow my instincts and do what i always wanted to do.And i just hope that day isn't too far away..

Where is she ??

I want a girl..I want a girl who smiles when she sees me in the morning ..someone who gets lost in a world of her own sometimes ..Someone who dances to the music played at a cafe...someone who holds my arm when we're running through the puddles....someone who grins like a 5 year old while playing with bubble wrap...Someone who gives me an impish grin when she's hidden my shoes...someone who lets me bandage her when she hurt ..someone who is least bothered what others think of us ...Someone who'll be there for me at my hour of need... someone who loves cuddling up for no reason..someone who thinks nose rubs are cute too...someone who will let me dance away the night with her...someone who'll look into my eyes and assure me that every things right with the world . Where can i find such a girl? I've looked far and wide...and I'm beginning to think she doesn't exist !

Bakraaaa... !!

Well... I must say i'm turning out to be quite the original prankster...!! ;) One of my colleagues at work prides himself at being a professional photographer.. And I really wanted to do something that would make him think that his photography skills have bee recognised. So i grab one of the nokia news letters ...edit the html code to make it looks asif it was an invite to him.The body of the email stated that his photo had been noticed by the talent scouts on flickr and they wanted to display it at a photography contest which was going to be held in pune on the 26th of august.Click on the picture below to see it full size :



Then i signed up for a web service which lets you send spoofed email. I sent the mail to him and made it look asif it had been mailed by Nokia Asia. The poor guy fell for it hook line and sinker !! I actually was skeptical about the success of the whole plan ...but on seeing his excitement on receiving the email ..i was having a hard time keeping a straight face. Hmmm.. And ohhh... The email I wrote contained a number on which he would have to call up to confirm his entry into the contest...

..And that number my friends ...was the number of a AIDS ,HIV and STD helpline based in pune.





You should have seen the look on his face when he actually called them up and started speaking to the person on the other end... A true kodak moment !!!
I'm turning into a real devil !! Gawd help me !! :D

Have you ever been stupid ???

Have you ever said something in the heat of the moment without realizing the consequences that might have later ? Have you ever lost a a best friend due to the misunderstanding caused by your fiery outburst ? Have you ever felt lonely and dejected and desolate even though its raining outside and children are jumping around in water puddles enjoying themselves ? Have you ever wished that you could go back to that very second in time and change the future forever ? Have you ever thought of how different life would have been if you had not to say those fateful words ? Have you ever felt as stupid as i am feeling right now ? :(

The GPS really works !!

Well..for starters ..i didnt think much of the GPS system.Heck..i dint even think that it'd work in india !! But the most amazing part is that it does work ....and works superbly !! I used it yesterday to track a bike ride from kothrud to koregaon park (in pune )...and mind you ...the N95 was in my pocket all the time ..and yet the device performed extremely well and didnt even drop the signal once. If you want to see what the N95 GPS logging is capable of ..head down to :

I suggest you set the maps to satellite mode for the best effect.













Awesome aint it ?? The exact route i took , my highest and lowest speeds , even the highest and lowest altitudes , average speeds etc. WOW !! Who ever imagined a phone would be capable of doing all this someday ?? :oD

Fun At Work

We had a Diversity fair at work today. There were different themes for each department. Our team decided to go with the "caribbean flava" theme..considering the world cup and summer ..we thought that our USP would be chilled mocktails and one or two caribbean dishes. All of us dressed up like ruggamuffin rastafarians and pumped up the volume to the best of "bob marley and the wailers".Needless to say ...everyone lode the mocktails ..and our stall was a hot favourite. He he he .. and i got to play the part of a sexy (okay..I might be bragging a bit !!) Bartender..dishing out chilled mocktails for all the chickas.

Woooo Hooo... I Love parties @ WrK !!

My Thoughts About Bush ...!!

We Be Burnin' ......

heyo...

Firstly ..I'd like to apologise to all my imaginary fans out there for not blogging much lately. You see..i really do feel like blogging sometimes...but my laziness beats me to it ...And i end up doing something more productive like mining my nose for gold ..or staring at the weird stains in the commode. Anyways ...its been a very busy month otherwise (hence ...i love to laze around whenever i get a chance) . Joined a course in oracle apps...and its kinda like a 10-7 thing ...So that leaves me very little time for anything else. Watched a few good movies lately tho... You should watch these movies if you get the time ..

1. The departed : This movie is one of the best movie I've watched in the recent months. The slick direction by Scorsese and the awesome acting by Matt Damon and Leonardo really steal the show. The movie score is so catch too.This movie left me so shaken ..that i was literally shivering after i exited the theater.A roller coaster ride is what it is ....

2. Accepted : This movie made on the lines of American pie is about a teen who gets rejected from all the colleges he applies to and then ends up making a fake college just to fool his folks. A feel good movie with a lot of funny characters and one liners. Typical run of the mill teen movie where one passionate speech in the ending changes everything . Nevertheless...pretty watchable ..if you've got nothing else to do.

As for other news...i really don't know whats with people when it comes to riots. Referring to the riots in Maharashtra yesterday ...I fail to understand how burning up private and government property will actually compensate for someone having desecrated a statue. These rioters need to think logically rather then employing such tactics..and causing so much worth of damage to the public at large ..who have absolutely nothing to do with this incident. These things really make me seethe with anger sometimes...but who am i kidding ...i get to stay at home n relax ..cos there's a curfew outside.
Aaaah ..the good life !! :)

What me worry ??

Hmmm... greetings earthlings...!!

Just got a bit of free time on my hands so decided to let ya all know whats going on in my crappy life. Been doing nothing much over the past few days apart from watching movies n drinking. Yeah...
watched 3 movies yesterday ...

1.Thank you for smoking
WOW !! this movie rocks. Is this how the cigarette industry actually manages to sell us those poison sticks ?? The sleek smart talking Eckhart is a genius.A must watch ...

2.The hills have eyes
GAK !! statutory warning : do not watch this flick on a full stomach ...unless you want to vomit your guts out on the floor. This is one of the goriest films i've ever seen... and the most unique part of this film is much of the action takes place in broad daylight ...in the middle of the desert... and its still frikkin scary !!

3.The Sentinel
Okay...there's a mole inside the secret service ..and its Micheal Douglas and keifer Sutherland who're gonna save the day by flushing em out good. But after a series of secret affairs and framing up's ..things get all awry..and thats when the action begins. A typical run of the mill secret service movie. Ho Hum.. watch it only if you hav'nt got anything else to do.

Apart from the movies I've been spending much of my time staring at the ceiling and dreaming about a harem full of Lebanese dancers. No seriously...I'm just getting the much needed rest after weeks of shitty work !! Will be back once the maggots inside my brain vanish. Till then ... Peace out.

Happy Diwali...!!

I'm sorry i've been so busy lately....or perhaps a bit too lazy. But i'll be back soon.. till then.. enjoy the festival of lights ...
A very happy Diwali to ya'll..!!

Brown Bunny...

Just found this orphaned wild brown bunny. Isnt he so cute??? Wondering what to name him tho... any suggestions ??

ViVa Portugal !!

Go Portugal ...Go !!!



No prizes for guessing my faves for the world cup.
