Time moves on & waits for noone.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen and Techies,

I'm feeling a little philosophical today and might ramble on about nothing in general. Forewarned is Forearmed they usually say, so i've done my bit with the warning..


In the larger scheme of everyday life, we are but just a small cog in the wheel. As you grow older (i recently did, thank u), you come to realize that life goes on, people move on, times changes, people change, friends come/friends go and you have to carry on with your life no matter what happens.
Time is a constant (const time=00:00:000;) and you are just following the vicous circle of time. Einstein was right, time is the 4th dimension and unbeknown to us we are just following the laws of physics in rotating it.

As you move forward, you go through phases of life as it passes you by. You become a variabe in the larger program called life.exe. Just pray that you were a bigInt and not a lowly Boolean :). Phases such as college, finding work are some things you will always cherish n remember throughout your life (atleast I did).
The early days of your job, the new feeling of earning Gandhi notes, the entire corporate culture etc are some of the new things that you get to experience.

The key is hidden right there ! If you missed it, its a big mistake - not unrecoverable but a mistake nonetheless. Right there is where you decided what you wanted to do with your life. If you still don't know what i'm talking about, more intropection is the order of your day. A lot of people go through these phases without thinking and content being a part of the larger "mass". I am not one of them. A pure non-conformist is what I am. That is my advice for people out there - Do what is right and do what you always wanted to do - follow your mind & to an extent your heart.

Read again & i said follow your mind & heart, not just your heart. Your heart & mind have to be at a common place. Wanting to do something or be something is nice to hear, but how to get there is all your mind. All of us want to do something, but how many of us are ready to take the less trodden path is the question.

There will be challenges, there will be times when you're thinking "what the fuck am i doing here, this is not what i wanted to do". Ride those rough times, stick with your strengths and eventually the light of the day will come and the darkness will pass by. Kinda like the way Gondor & Rohan escape from the evil Sauron (All the tooks hail LOTR!).

Enough of my ramblings for now i guess. TTFN bloggers ..

HAPPY NEW YEAR 7D9

No Speech, No long posts, i will leave you with some thoughts … Happy new year everyone !

Hey Dude, don’t make it bad.
Take a good year and make it better.
Remember to let it into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better, better, better.

So let the older year out and let the new one in, hey Dude, begin,
The movement you need is on your shoulder

Terror Attacks:: Be a MAN ! Hit them back HARD !

To all Indians,

It is about time we did something to stop this bloody mayhem of terror in India ! Mumbai, the financial captial of India is the latest city (again) to come under the scope of Terror. - Jaipur, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Malegaon, Assam, Bangalore, Varanasi..... the list is endless ...
This is a sad state our country is in now. We have got used to this news coming in day in and day out. We have got so used to terror attacks, that we have started to live with it. We should not ! India should fight back. We are not gutless, we should be as aggressive against terror as we are on the Cricket Field. We need a Ganguly-like figure in the government!

What is the manmohan singh government doing ?

Everytime a terror attack happens , this is what we get to hear :

1) Out Intelligence did not have any clue !
2) Our Terror laws are STRONG enough
3) The Terrorists were from pakistan .
4) We will deal with this severely.
5) Release sketch of 4/5 suspects ...
Bloody CRAP !

1) When did the intelligence ever have any clue. It is so bad, that it should not be called "intelligence" anymore.

2) What Terror Law mr.singh/italian proxy Sonia ?? BRING BACK POTA !!!!!!!!! We want POTA BACK ! NOW !!!

We have NO terror laws for a country with 27 states and 1.1 billion people ! that's pathetic .... the only law that was effective was POTA and that was removed by Congress for political reasons. I don't care what anyone thinks of the accused, but that law gave the police/intelligence some powers that were helpful. However little information we able to gain it will be helpful in stopping these terror attacks.

3) We already know the terrorists are from Pakistan and that they are brain-washed Muslims. It's time the muslim community in india did something apart from instigating peaceful Hindus. What do you do inside the Madrasas ?Come out and face the truth and help our country.

4) How will you deal with this severely Mr.Patil? Do you even know what you are doing as a Home minister. Tell the poeple atleast 1 CONCRETE action that will prevent such attacks in future. Don't just suck up to the muslims for vote-bank politics.

5) The sketches are forgotten after 2 days when the news dies down or the press gets bored with it. Whoever even validates these pics. There have been many instances where the sketches were wrong and later retracted. Why all this charade ?

Watch this shocking video:: Terrorists opening fire from a hijacked police vehicle on open road against Public right in the heart of Bombay.
http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/79142/watch-terrorists-take-over-police-van-fire-on-roads.html

Sadly, this is the state of our country now.... What we need to do is Stand together and fight ! Fight till the death. We have the money, we have the people and by god we have the ARMY resources to do this !
This is one of the things i admire about the Americans. When 9/11 happened, Bush emerged and did everything to fight the terrorists. They chased them into Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and bombed their assess off.

Result: There has not been an attack against America in the last 8 years ! Whereas, due to the soft nature of the congress govt in india, we have had about 8-10 attacks in the span of 3 years. We have a convicted Terrorist Mohd.Afzal Guru, who launced an attack against the Indian Parliament and was convicted/sentenced to Death, by the Supreme Court of india, and he's still kicking alive and might even be pardoned. Can you imagine anyone attacking the White House and getting away alive if convicted? That person would be hanged the next instant.
See Pic below, this is what we should be doing now.

My fellow INDIANS, lets STAND AND FIGHT THESE Muslim Terrorists who use religion & brain-wash people to do their dirty killing work.
UNITED WE STAND, UNITED WE SHALL FIGHT and UNITED WE SHALL WIN !

I've never written a political post in my 3 years of blogging, but i could not resist & stand-by and watch this madness. I hope you all found it worthwhile..

I shall end this post with these immortal words......

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same;
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son

V for Vacation

PHEW !

The magic four words you are NOT supposed to utter if you are employed in a 'taxing' job. Basically says you stopped working or even worse, people around you start to think that you stopped working. But you know what, it feels realllllllyy good to say it sometimes.

You might be wondering what the heck is this guy blabbering about. Adhu vandhu, basically, what i'm trying to say is that i am on a good damn VACATION after a long six months of busting my ass night & night (if wish i could say "day", but its not for me) ...

Picturize this ... Sudar before :-


Takakakkatkatkaktkaktatatatttttt.. sound of me typing on my keyboard.................
And just like that its time to board Shatabdi to start the vacation.
But you can never truly hide the technology inside you. It's like in Terminator. Arnold's eyes are the same no matter how much you pummel him. Same goes with me :)

Well its was worth the effort. Got to eat a LOT during this past week with all mom's delicacies. Got nothing more to say as my mind is getting lazy to think and my terminator eyes are getting droozy.. So long until next time. Asta la Vista !

P.S - If you got any comments, Talk to the Hand as the face ain't listenin.

Landmark Quiz Adventure

Aug 15 : The day was the Independence day.
<<<<<<<<< .......... rewind ........... <<<<<<<<<
Aug 15 : The day was Landmark Quiz day.

Battlefield : Music Academy, Mylapore, Chennai
Warriors : Sudar, Daniel, Navaz and Annamalai

For us bunch of quizzing enthusiasts this would be the 5th year in a row we would be attending the Landmark Quiz. As usual the usual suspects were teams like : QED , Swami&Friends, No Questions Asked, V.V.Ramanan etc.

As per tradition we went in with three quiz team names hoping to win the best team name prize. Some idiotic name like "QuizFu Panda" won it, but we dont agree. Let me list our team names and i shall let you decide that we 'indeed' should have won it.

1) The Psycho Quizzers from Askok Pillar
2) Athletico Madras
3) "We know we are not the best team name"

due to mr.baadu malai, my choice of this name was not entered. Here is what i chose and this would definitely have atleast got a mention for best team names.
" Robert Mugabe's official vote counters, we Always WIN ! " ------> :D isnt this great ?

As usual, the quiz was fun. In fact this year the quiz master was more jovial and made it more fun. The Chennai round was won by QED (arumbuchu taangada)
Next up were the national finals won by the bangalore team.

I will leave you with a few pics from our quiz journey ....

Super Fantastic Excellent Bala; BharatBala !

To all my fellow Indians,
There comes a time when everyone has to remember their nation. We do this by singing our national anthem right from the core (quad-core) of our hearts ! How can you respect your nation ? If you cannot respect your national anthem.
In this regard, i would like to pay tribute to BharatBala Productions who have taken on a noble cause of national unity and inspiration. [ www.bbp.co.in ]

If you had watched a movie in any theatre in Bangalore, you would have noticed the Jana Gana Mana anthem and a video with AR.Rahman being played. That is BharatBala for you.
The other soul-searching video of their is for the Indian Army portrayed in Siachen (the highest battlefield in the world belongs to India).
Watch the videos and learn to respect and love your Nation. Happy Independence Day !!!
JAI HIND ! VANDE MATARAM!

Respect your National Anthem (Award-winning. Careful might bring you tears )

Thank you Ole Gunner Solksjaer - ManUnited Legend

His number was 20, He's Ole, and he's a United's legend ! 2OLEGEND




OLE OLE OLE OLE ...... (chants from Stretford Stand and South Stand)
How can we forget Ole's last minute touch in 1999?

That day I chanted " Glory glory Man Utd", wholeheartedly. The music still rings in my ears....

Tyldesley's commentary :
"Beckham... into Sheringham... and Solskjaer has won it!"
Tyldesley again followed this with the exclamation, "Manchester United have reached the Promised Land !"

The same chants that were set alight in Moscow earlier this year. He was called the Baby-faced Assasin. Thank you Ole Gunner Solksjaer for your contribution to Manchester United !

How many ever times you watch this video, you don't tire of it.

A Maths Poem

Sin(x) + Cos(x) = TanTex

Sinθ + Cosθ = BournVita

I'm sure that I will always be

A lonely number like root three .

The three is all that's good and right,

Why must my three keep out of sight

Beneath the vicious square root sign,

I wish instead I were a nine

For nine could thwart this evil trick,

with just some quick arithmetic

I know I'll never see the sun, as 1.7321

Such is my reality, a sad irrationality

When hark! What is this I see,

Another square root of a three

As quietly co-waltzing by,

Together now we multiply

To form a number we prefer,

Rejoicing as an integer

We break free from our mortal bonds

With the wave of magic wands

Our square root signs become unglued

Your love for me has been renewed !

Thank you BillG !

Circa' - 27 Jun 2008 :
For so many of us Bill Gates has been a mentor, a colleague, an inspiration and a role model. He has challenged us to do our very best work, and it has been an honor to try to live up to his expectations and to work in the great company that he started 3 decades ago....

It’s not Linux or a Mac but Windows which has reached millions of people around the world and touched the masses ( whether in pirated form or anything else ). And the credit goes to the innovative mindset and some exceptional marketing and management skills of Bill Gates. If not for you, computers would have been still obscure and technology wouldn’t have been as easy as it seems today.

Think of the awesome power that is sitting in front of you ! And then you will think of the Man ! He is not far from us, anytime you are near a PC, remeber the name, remeember BillG.

So thank you, Bill Gates. Thanks for Windows and Word, PowerPoint and Excel, even Internet Explorer. Thank you for SQL Server (yippee) and Thanks for filling my Citibank Salaried account month after month :) .Generations to come will remember you as the man who changed the face of the Computer Industry and for making it accessible to the common man (Aam admi!).

Bill Gates, you are a true legend and we’ll miss you. Thank you for being a pioneer in making computers a commodity than a fetish !!

To Mr.Gates - May the Force be with you !

What better way to end this thread, than to leave you with this Iconic Photo taken in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1978.

MATCH-FIXING ! NONSENSE ! BULL-SHIT !! OTHA ! THEV**** ! Bucknor Pottiya Vangitaan.. Cancel the Tour !!

These are some of the thoughts that every indian felt on watching the 2nd test match (Farce) between Australia and India @ Sydney.

Here are some new rules that the ICC has formed ... Padichu therinjukkongappa ..

(1) Ricky Ponting – (THE TRULY GENUINE CRICKETER OF THE CRICKET ERA AND WHOSE INTEGRITY SHOULD NOT BE DOUBTED) should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new rules, FOURTH UMPIRE decision is final and will over ride any decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek the assistance of RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. This rule is to be made, so that every team should understand the importance of the FOURTH UMPIRE.

(2) While AUSTRALIAN TEAM is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to the AUSTRALIAN FIELDER(WITHIN 5 metre distance), the batsman is to be considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or grassed. Any decision for further clarification should be seeked from the FOURTH UMPIRE. This is made to ensure that the cricket is played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.

(3) While BATTING, AUSTRALIAN players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball might not have touched the bat). Each AUSTRALIAN batsman has to be out FOUR TIMES (minimum) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.

(4) UMPIRES should consider a huge bonus if an AUSTRALIAN player scores a century. Any wrong decisions can be ignored as they will be paid huge bonus and will receive the backing of the AUSTRALIAN team and board.

(5) All AUSTRALIAN players are eligible to keep commenting about all players on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be spoiling the spirit of the AUSTRALIAN team. Any comments made in any other language are to be considered as RACISM only.

(6) MATCH REFREE decisions will be taken purely on the AUSTRALIAN TEAM advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be considered for hearing. MATCH REFREES are to be given huge bonus if this rule is implemented.

(7) NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that the sportive spirit of CRICKET is maintained.

(8) THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING - “THE UNDISPUTED CRICKETER WITH INTEGTIRY IN THE GAME OF CRICKET” more than twice in a series, he will be banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that the best batsman/Captain will be played to break records and create history in the game of CRICKET.

These rules will clarify better to the all the teams VISITING AUSTRALIA.
