Strange to see the kind of social interaction that takes place these days.. communicating has become a lot more complicated than just walking up to a person and talking even with people you see and interact with everyday. Let me explain with a scenario
disclaimer: A true story follows all charectors in the story are real people albeit a little hyper bordering insane.
--scene set in an apartment with 24/7 high speed internet--
A bunch of friends are hanging out together something funny happens… Guy #1 cracks a joke about Guy #5 who is not at the scene. Guy #2 goes "hey am gonna put that on facebook"
Guy #1 says " yeah put it up and I'll comment on it"
--after the comment is posted Guy #3 calls and says--
"u know what I'm gonna post so and so comment on this and you reply to my comment okay?".
Guy#4 says " hey call Guy # 5 and ask him to look at it… cos the jokes on him.
--end scene--
Heights of social interaction, face-to-face, phone and facebook. I don’t think mark zuckerberg envisioned this for facebook!
Even people sitting in the same room sometimes type out their thoughts in a FB comment rather than just saying it out loud. I have been on both sides of this phenomenon, and I feel utterly foolish after this interaction but somehow its strangely funny and satisfying,hmmm… just for a minute though after that its back to foolish.Its like we have a log of everything said and done and someone is going to validate it.
I'm just guessing but I know somewhere this is exactly what is happening.
Mom: Status update on Facebook "just made dinner for the family.. awesome chicken curry and hot chapathis"
Son : comments " wow.. I'll be down in a minute"
Father: Comments " wait up don’t start without me"
Son: Likes his fathers commment!!!!
We are becoming a generation of typists. I wonder if they will start teaching shorthand from 1st grade.
Moral of the story: jet set and be abreast with the FB, Twitter generation.. but once in a while tap someone in the back and enjoy a healthy "verbal" dialogue. Just every now and then (once a week is not so bad)so that you don’t completely forget the art of talking!

Steve Jobs- The iCon, The Legend!
I cannot imagine a world without the innovative genius that is Steve Jobs. His extraordinary talent,his drive and passion to design and build the most revolutionary products in the world has inspired us.
His products have literally put the world in our palms not to mention the pleasure and happiness derived from the sheer touch of these products. The iPod, the iMac, the iPhone and the iPad are truly the stroke of a genius that could never have been conceived by any other. Animation took a whole new form with Pixar. He breathed life into the characters. They made us laugh they made us cry. Now each and every one of them will shed a tear for Steve.
The world has lost a wizard, a god of innovation and I have personally lost someone who I have always admired,awed and strived to be like. His words have made me look at the meaning of life and strive to do more with it. Thank you for making the world a better place and surrounding us with extraordinary creations.

Was it Friday the 13th.....
No it wasn't.... but the experiences I had after I left Bangalore on July 3rd, made me think "Was It....", A gloomy normal day in Bangalore.... gloomy cos i was leaving Bangalore and also the weather added to the gloominess... met all the people i could before leaving! and finished packing a little before 1 AM, my flight was at 5:30 and i had to be at the airport by 2. My friends and i started off at 1... we were quite sure we will be there by 2... until our taxi broke down... and I started singing just to keep the tension away(apparently that got the people around me more worried and irritated than I was..)... little knowing that this wont be the last of my worries... Ohh my god did I not complete this blog 2yrs ago.... Well to cut a long story short I was stranded in London for 2 days with nowhere to go and a transit visa that expires in 48 hrs.... All flights cancelled i had to fly out the next day.. Either stay at the airport which was already filled with about 10000 odd passengers. Found another girl who was kind enough to take me to her dad's friends place whom she herself didn't know too well... Strange how complete strangers can come ones rescue sometimes... I have been lucky so far in that aspect the world has been a kind place...Spent the night in the home of a wonderful gujrati family... There is really something with me and the gujjus I must say.. The next day 24 hrs on the transit visa and heathrow was overflowing with lost passengers it was the most chaotic time of day in London. The bmtc bus would have seemed more organized in comparison. An unending queue to book tickets for a flight that might only get cancelled again... The boston flight was leaving my aquaintance left. Now I officially had nowhere to go....if flights get cancelled which was very likely...noise and chaos everywhere. I had 2 huge bags 50 pounds each that I couldn't lug around... And I waited .. Announcement for the Chicago flight ... And guess what I was late for check in why??? Cos of the maddening crowd of people...that's not my fault but no one really cared... Now what I had to stand in the unending queue to book tickets for a flight I won't get a seat in one once i reach the end of the queue. I was one minute short of bursting into tears before I gave one last shot at the BA phone reservations... Luckily I got a ticket for a flight,boarding for which was in 15 mins.... No time to cry lest I miss this flight too like I did the last... I got in!!! Yeah and bumped upto first class... Like I really wanted it at that time. I would hop into any class even if I had sit on the floor...anyway alls well that ends well...anyone who knows me has this story embedded in their brain... It's after 2yrs but yeah I completed the story.

All For a Roof on Top - Part II
... And you thought it was over, so did I ;). Not quite over yet. Came sunday and we (Preethi and I) were all set to move. I was mentally prepared to wake up early(believe me waking up early needs a lot of mental preparation :P) and complete the packing in one hr before madam slowly wakes up from her slumber. but i ended up lazing around in my bed, procastinating thinking about the right time to get up... no time was nearly right!!. I finally woke up at 9:30 and the first sight that i got to see was preethi standing with some 10 packed bags around her,I knew i had no excuse now,I had to get up and start packing.I always dreaded the tyranny of packing moving and unpacking and now it was staring at me in the face...there it all started - chapter 2 of our moving-into-a-house adventure .
After climbing lofts, ransacking cupboards,finding old cards,joking about things of the past we could lay our hands on! I finally finished packing up.... i had some 20 odd bags around me! soon the news about by enormous luggage spread around the PG and everyone came to see it displayed!!
Preethi said most of it was junk which i could throw, but i kept everything for a scrap book that i planned to make some 5 years back (i havent still started work on that....) Well... one day i'am going to make that,I'm hoping it'll be a nostalgic, visual journey into the past!!
It was 1 and we were all set to go. PG aunty then told us that it was yamagandam(an inauspicious time) till 1:30. We got all the luggage down and it looked like we needed a lorry to transport both out stuff, Aunty fainted at the thought that we were living there with all this stuff.We somehow shifted with the help of an auto,automan,a bike and 2 boy friends.
The myriad pieces of luggage scandalized our other roommate. It covered most part of the room which we were supposed to stay in. The fact that we had to unpack and arrange all the things kept blew our minds for a while and before we blow more people out of the water we decided to get started with unpacking and arranging, but before that our friends were eagerly waiting for the milk warming ceremony. We prayed and boiled the milk for the sake of tradition and partly for fun!;) none of us drank it though! and then they took off leaving us to deal with the donkeys work.
Back to picking and packing Preethi spun like a top and before i knew she was done,quite understandable as she had half the baggage i had, according to her she didnt have all the junk that i possessed. I forced her to give me a hand in organizing my things.soon we were done and when we looked outside it was pretty dark the last time we looked at the watch it was 3... and its already dark!! it was quite surprising; we had been packing, moving and unpacking for 11 hrs. it was 8PM.
One hell of a hectic movement that was!! and we did face the after effects... sore knees, screwed up back,muscles that have'nt been streched after ages and their influences- not being able to walk down the stairs without 2 people on either side, sitting flat down to pick up something fallen on the floor etc. In addition to the existing miseries we were facing, a new rock mounted our heads the ghastly nightmare which chased me in Tamilnadu hath fallen on karnataka - Water Problem!! not a drop of water in the house and again our loyal company comes to our rescue Ladies dormitory,we carried everything and freshened up there. hmm...isint that just about everything we could experiance in these 2 days( i mean bad experiances)
i'm sure we didnt miss out on anything we're now prepared to face the minor worries! :P they're nothing !! So much for a roof on top I wish we last under it for 1 yr atleast!

All for a roof on Top!
How it all started... the sudden repugnance towards the paying guest Acco that has been my home for 19 months. Repugnance is the right word to use considering that I have been living under the same roof with a landlady like mine!! .When Preethi* (my friend – name not changed; The identity does not need any protection) and I decided to move in here and first met our land lady…we had our own doubts about what we were sticking our head into, but since the place was decent (pls note: place not Aunty!!- for the rest of this blog landlady will be referred to as aunty) and well within our budget, we settled for it.
Aunty and her atrocities is something I can write a separate blog about… but I’m not, as this is up for public viewing. Somehow we put up with everything and lasted 19 months, we got used to the daily ramblings, the geyser not working especially in winter, and also stuck to the rule “not allowed to go in or out of the PG when her dog is taking a stroll.”. Well she calls it the “Dog Walk time” and if u walk around at that time you will get bitten… (Which happened to me...) and that won’t bother her. I had to make plans accordingly and come home well before 9:30 PM or after 10:00 PM. Thank god I did not have to salute the dog before walking in. And then one fine day Preethi throws her hands up and says…”we’ve stayed here too long! I’m bored, its time to look for a new place”.
Since we always fancied living independently and cooking(both novices though! At both ;)), we thought we’ll look for a house. And so it all began.
Initially FreeAds—looked up places, circled relevant ones and then never called. Infy and Wipro Bulletin boards proved to be of great assistance in our effort to zero-in on the places.
We were particular about koramangala since we got used to the luxury of missing 2 or 3 company buses in the morning and still managing to make it to office (not necessarily on time but still making it).
We saw ads like 1BHK for 5k and 2BHK for 7k, and thought “WOW..!!!! koramanagala is actually not that bad in terms of costs. People were just being unreasonable when they complained it’s skyrocketing day by day”. when we ran in our excitement to see the place we realized that the 1 BHK was not really a 1 B,H and K it was just a 1 B(read bathroom) converted into a 1 BHK and located in the remotest lane on the farthest end of koramanagala. The 2 BHK had 2 B’s 1H and 1K no doubt but the 2 B’s looked like you can enter the room and only stand, and to make yourself more comfortable you could choose to stand on one leg, and there ends the room.
After a series of disillusioning searches, we found a place I love to call “Nasiruddin’s house”, and all the people who were interacting with me during that phase knew the Projected Hero(projected as hero by me obviously).
Nasiruddin by the way was the landlord of one of the better 2 BHK’s in koramangala. When Preethi and I saw the place we loved it. So much so that I closed the Ad thread that was running on the BB stating “this has been finalized” so that no one else enquires about it !!( pretty Calvinistic I must say…I was proud of it all the same). About the house---it was wonderful!! We could hop, skip and jump to our bus stop and that was the most important thing. We wanted to fix it up but unfortunately (now fortunately u will find out why) for us Nasiruddin was in Saudi Arabia on a pilgrimage tour and was running late jaggi thought he probably got stoned there and might not come back..!!), we had to wait for a week or call Saudi Arabia. ‘We’ chose to follow the former even though I wanted to go by the latter (Preethi got her way). One week later Nasiruddin was back from Saudi, hale and hearty with no visible stone-hit marks. We talked to him with the hope to negotiate on the rent (as promised by his daughter) but he didn’t budge. I was still keen on settling for it, but a new stumbling block landed on our heads. Immediate occupation guarantee, no other girls to move in with us and the initial cost of setting up a house would be borne by us. One might wonder why we didn’t think of this before - We did, but it took us till after almost finalizing what a big burden it will be!! So now fortunately we didn’t jump into it and finalize Nasiruddin’s house only to realize later “Oh! What a weigh down this is!”
I opened a new thread in the BB for Nasiruddin! (Here, I need some applause pls!!!)
So now we’re back to square one sans the FreeAds bit. Again hail Infy and Wipro BB.
The Search now had an added criterion. 2 BHK with 2 girls already in it (ok guys relax-the house is for us; wipe off the smirk!!!) and all the basic amenities TV, maid, kitchen set up with Gas connection. After 2-3 days of frantic searching, we hit upon a house with a girl who had already occupied it, and needed 2 others. The place was pretty good, very close to the bus stop and to my surprise affordable! So that was it, we paid up! You’d think it’s over right? We settled for a place and paid up! Can there be anything more??
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity!
What for? Now a week after I paid up and given a one month notice at my PG aunty, I checked on some more Ads to see what we missed! (That’s called Cheek, with a big C)
Word of Caution - This is something you shouldn’t ever attempt. After you’ve bought something (especially something expensive), you almost always find something better. People generally don’t do this in case of real estate or rental, but then that’s just a thumb-rule and I always end up biting mine!
I thought I’ll see the place and if it really turns out to be better, I’ll convince Preethi and myself to forget about the money we paid the other landlord! I spoke to a girl in the better house who was supposed to call me, fix up a time and show me the alleged better place.
6 hrs and a call that never turned up convinced me that it was a bad idea and that I should just forget about it - In the hope that the place we thought was better should in reality be not-so-convenient (ok….I’ll just be blunt –BAD).
Now we’re happy that it’s finally over and done with. We have a readymade place with all the things set up for us to move into next month. All of you are invited for the celebrations, of course with gifts for THE HOUSE.

Project Blues
I should have probably titled this No-Project Blues...but it’s also Project blues!!!
When I tell people that I’m getting paid for doing nothing...90% of the working population will go WOW!!! I should say the same thing to the people on bench.. They’ll say "welcome to the club...another shoulder to cry on"Wasted time for us and wasted Resource for the company.What is my contribution?? When will be skill be harnessed..?? When will I enhance my knowledge..??? And when will I streamline my skills to navigate through the turbulent, choppy, swirling, competitive sea called the IT industry !! So many questions...one clichéd answer...SELF DEVELOPMENT!!!! I detest everyone who tells me this.... “SELF DEVELOPMENT” to me is like baking a cake and eating it myself when nobody else wants to even smell it!!
Getting the customer's requirements in to your head and doing something for him even if the customer is the janitor is more challenging than consoling yourself with “Self Development Work”( so to say). Infinite questions will crop up…you try to get the better of it…………what happens then…… before you know, your problem solving skills have sky rocketed..moreoever the process of "self development- projects /assignments" gets boring after a while because of the feeling..."duh! What’s the point"!
Motto of Desi companies -- "Take people for the heck of it.. and stack them up like in a wholesale cloth shop!" who knows we might need them sometime, next century!!Why don’t they understand that in some of the projects in the same company 2 people are doing the work of 5 people and working on an average of 16 hours!Instead of training the team members/engineers on technologies which are going to be put into use next year...train them on ongoing projects. "Providing employment is not enough Mr Chairman...Provide us work"....pity I can’t strike with charts flashing this message!!
All the youngsters in the present age have the urge to contribute something to the society, to the economy. Daring people like the IITians who started Paritrana take big risks and contribute a great deal. Others want to achieve it through the work they do!
Quality work has been scarce… and demanding it has become felony! Moving up the ladder needs hard work…… “but hey where’s the ladder ??” SOMEONE GIVE US THE LADDER !!!
My company is paying me! Every month I get my Pay check I shouldn’t be complaining,but........apart from my skills being wasted…somewhere inside I feel “I can be more useful to the world, to my community!” and I have to start here, my profession is my pedestal!!
If you have read this much I’m sure you are also on bench ;)) and if your not --- *humph* LUCKY YOU!!! I hope you didn’t feel the slap while reading this..!! though i'm sure you could’ve guessed by now ..its filled with restlessness and frenzy!
I'm back in action after a long Hiatus! And whoa..!! What an outbreak this was!!
PS: never mind about the opening line. ….Only i can fathom that!

Fumbling towards Intellect

Here i come again.... late but with the latest!!there is more than one reason for late posting..and the reason i love saying is that "I WAS ON VACATION" after a gruelling Project finally i took a break for 10 days and chilled out(actually sweated with weather in context) in Chennai...it was one hell of a relaxing holiday..i must say..now i'm back and quite happy at that..cos work is not so after boring now.i got into some really cool low level designing stuff and an even cooler tech lead ;)(who asks me too many fundoo questions) i'd rather not elaborate on that..i attended aerobics after 10 days and the instructor gave me a wide grin which clearly said "hi u girl who comes once in 10 days".. a lot of things happend this month for me..i moved to a new house and my college room-mate cum buddy has moved with me..so we are back on track w.r.t gossiping and commenting...days seem a little longer now and it feels like i'm doing more than go to work - come back - sleep - and go to work again..which used to be the daily humdrum..i say fumbling towards intellect and i spoke about everything but intellect..the catch is in the word fumbling..cos i'm doing it one step at a time and todays step is gathering info abt rational rose and enjoying object oriented design..i finished a low level design for a screen today..an exceptionally simple screen...cos otherwise i wud never had got into the fumbling or crawling business!!lets come back to normality...intellect seems to be too high a ground..i went to my favorite Elliots beach this time when i was in chennai and i noticed the Tsunami has been a big blow...all the filth and muck in the beach has been washed off and now its like a bad version of miami... ;) are u wondering what it was???!!!...dont rack ur brains its hard to imagine..!!
