"People find it difficult to resist your persuasive manner"

I had to laugh when i read that, of all the daily "Today's fortune" that i have read on Orkut, this takes the cake. Don't understand the logic behind this, would love to know how many got the same "fortune" for today and if they where really so fortunate enough!!

Well came from another weekend sojourn to Chennai, the same old early morning shatabdi trip. For a change i was greeted by the Bangalore "Save Tibet"(against China) campaign. The pack led by monks and then by the in numerous number of students and all those we unnecessarily call "chinky". I could estimate the length of the line to be close to at least 1.5-2kms. It was massive, yet peaceful, that was what the whole religion of Buddhism is about.All religions teach "a" way of life, none say this is "the" way. Buddhism tries or guides one to experience this reality. Knowing that Buddhism is the largest religion/faith in east Asia and is the major religion of China, the attitude of the Chinese towards the liberation of Tibet is appalling. Moreover the Indian govt trying to get into the good books of its coalition partners by being biased towards the Chinese saddens one's heart, considering India was the major centre of Buddhism teaching and we have been protecting the erstwhile Tibetan government for a long time.


Well, lots of friends are getting married and the future looks bleak for me, in the way that i would be forced to leave my singleton status. The other day mom visits the "josier"(astrologer) who enlightens her that i would get married in the next 6-8 months and my wife would look like the "Rose" of Titanic!!Unke mooh mein cheeni dalo yaar koyi.. :D Kate Winslet and my wife, man she should read this! If he had told me so when i was born, i would have shifted to Hollywood a long time back.


Thinking of shifting jobs again, god knows why.


Booked a house across the sea cost, 11th floor sea and lake view. This is going to be a dream come true very soon for me.Yeah, it is going to take another 3 years for the project to get completed, but what gives, i have a house by the coast..yaeeee!! And yet again i surprised myself by taking a decision quick, hope it works out well(keeping fingers crossed XXX) and yes it saves taxes.


Connecting with a lot of old friends, have been too nostalgic of late thinking of those good times that we all had at school and later while i was in Air tel. Those where the king of good times.


Started working out in the gym again, its such a fantastic feeling to know that you are putting some amount of effort to some good use.

Watching lots of junk movies of late, and no wonder all of them are Hindi.

Splurged on a iPod touch, worth every bloody drop of blood, its so cooooool...i now have a iPod!!!! :)). My HTC touch added to this i have become such a touch sensitive person, this even prompted a friend on asking if i was such a physical person :\

Some people are snobbish and ignore you just for the heck of it(they arent celebs,mind it), these people just cant seem to move on with life, I wonder if there is any humanity left in this world.

Listening to lots of Ilayaraja these days, that guy's a true genius. The composition of this song from Ninaivellam Nithya(i think so) is one of my all time favourites , just check the lyrics



The alternate sync between the guitar, drums and pure carnatic to fast tempo is wow so awesome.

Back to Gurgaon on monday on a two month stay, back to being a northie again...khuda aafis.
