Rambles

Today, I’d been to Hari Hara Kala Bhavan to watch a play called Five Point Someone. It was based on Chetan Bhagat’s first novel with the same name and is EVAM’s first debut performance in Hyderabad. And oh yes! It’s the first ever play I’ve watched live :-) . I’d blocked four tickets on saturday evening for the show but later had to cancel two as Adi and Abhi had to drop out. Though the show was scheduled to start at 3:30 pm , it had to be delayed due to a few technical glitches. In fact it was a wonderful stroke of luck for me :-) . I was caught in a traffic jam at 3:25pm and made it to the theater only around 3:55pm. Suysh had luckily arrived a bit early and purchased the tickets well before I was there! ...

7:20 on my watch and I’m still at home. The bus halts at the stop at 7:24 , not a moment late. Sigh! This was one of those days when I wonder how the driver manages to be right on time everyday. Thanks to my fast paced walk, I almost made it to the crossroads. Had to run behind it for about half a kilometer.. but still Spiky made it! ...

The 1.5 hr travel back home in the traffic is taking its toll. It was fine for the first one month, but of late I’ve realized there’s nothing much productive that I’m able to do once I’m back and whatever little I can force myself to, isn’t really helping me. This month seems to be a bit demanding. I’ve got to pick up on .Net , complete an internal certification and oh yes, there’s the french certification exam too. Besides, I’ve got to avoid sacrificing my personal time come what may. After all , that’s one thing that keeps me motivated :-) . ...

Before you read any further, on a frontal note, this post is in no way related to the participants in the show or the show as such. I rarely watch TV shows. But of late, I’ve been following this particular show called ‘The Idea star singer’ which is screened on Asianet at around 9 pm IST . That’s mainly because, people in my house are hooked on to it and I rarely get to shift channels while having dinner. Initially all that interested me in it was the way various participants portrayed themselves in creative outfits and the various dance steps they choreographed. But of late as the show comes to it’s end, you really get to learn a lot from it. ...

It’s been a week since this idea conceived in my brain and this weekend I figured out some time to work on it. I’ve launched another blog in wordpress. But for a change this is something serious. The central idea is to develop an Ad free, simple interface site which could be a one stop site for all the latest happenings in Hyderabad and also serve as a travel guide in the city. I call it the Hyderabad Simplified Online Project (HSOP) :-) ...

Of late, browsers are behaving weird on my PC. I’ve got Firefox and Safari on the system. Firefox is just not able to handle Wordpress and Safari, in all it’s might is trying to remove all the paragraph formatting! The best part is that I’m using a pretty stable version of firefox ( The 2.0.0.11 version). Any leads on what the problem could be? Could it be an issue conflict with a recently installed plugin ? ...

It’s about 1:00 am now. I hit the bed and for no reason start looking back in the past reasoning out my future. Just couldn’t keep myself thinking so thought I’d better keep a record of it :) ! The year 2008 seems to be quite promising! It’s not been even a month, and I’ve managed to junk my otherwise boring lyf right by the groins! Some things turned out as planned and most propped up just out of the blue all culminating to one reasonable goal. At times, this reminds me of ‘Zahir’. Not that I particularly liked the book , but a few fundas that Coelho talks seem to be fall right in place. ...

I’d been to one of my cousin’s House warming ceremony today morning. They’ve built a small, beautiful independent house in lines with those in the US with a budget of about 40lakhs in a place called Cherlapally, a bit away from the main city. It was a 3bhk, two floored structure. In the ground floor, the house was so modeled that a staircase sort of divided the first room right in the middle. So as and when you enter the house, you get to see the staircase. This is probably the only negative aspect of the house. ...

Life was ripe and then suddenly it did strike. Just a year and a half and all was blown out. A lot many things to remember and cherish, the rest is now hallucination. Life still pulls on and people keep talking. The vagrant said - I’m alone, The spirit kept saying - No you aren’t The vagrant said - People still keep talking, The spirit said - Does it really matter? Keep Smiling! ...

A 3 month Karate class is going to be held in campus starting Feb 1st. Given my ambidextrous flexibility and reflexive fists I would have made a wonderful karate kid ( ahem ahem … Professional :-) ). How I wish I could join it ! Had I not payed the 3 grand for my French classes I would have as well been into this. Anyways, gotta see if I can talk with the coach and join a month late. Amends can be made ! :-) ...
