ADIEU SINGLEHOOD...

Db is back since last night…so hereby my single hood days come to an end.

Hey not that I am complaining. Of course because Db has got me soooooooooo many gifts from London, and a new microwave last night, and more new dresses and jewelry coming up this weekend, for my brother’s wedding in feb and not to forget we planned a vacation also(hurray !!! couple pics finally!!!). HOR KI CHAEEDA.

Of all pics that he’s got from London, there’s one that needs a special mention. Have a look at this one.

I was wondering whose statue was that, but that actually turned out to be a BEGGAR on the streets of LONDON. BEGGARS!!! IN LONDON!!! News to me!!!

Also the first question that struck me was…the money he spent on his attire could have easily sufficed him the money for food that he was begging for. But Db tells me that the beggars in London are not like the ones in India, they are pretty better-off financially. He mentioned a beggar that he spotted on the railway station who was playing an electronic guitar, which costs 200$-250$ on an average.

I wonder then why do they have to beg at all.

Hey, in that case, was the Bachan senior playing a beggar in JBJ??? All this while I thought he was playing rock star or something.

Hmm….

GRRRRRRRR!!!

@ 12 am

For more reasons than one:

Db's stay has been extended by another week...

I have had enough of my singlehood days...FULTOO BORED

None of my friends are free to meet me over the weekend...

My code is giving some weird error...

Satyam shares have fallen down to rupees 6...

And while I am ALL-SO-ANGRY, i am over a conference call with Db and his friend, who are discussing the margins if they open a boiled egg/omlette shop at the major office locations in Bangalore.

Grrrrrrrrr!!!

UPDATE @ 1 am

Now they are advocating laziness. All intelligent people are lazy, and only fools work hard. And the fact that we are lazy makes us intelligent.

I am not even in a mood to challenge this utterly KAMINI philosophy.

Grrrrrrrrrr Again!!!

HOME ALONE…BACK TO MY SINGLE DAYS FOR SOMETIME – III

My colleagues at office argued with me last night that Surya was better than Aamir in the Tamil version of Ghajini, I managed to catch a few scenes of the same on youtube…and without any doubts…Aamir rocks!!!

What a dull day this morning!!!

While I am staying alone, getting up at nine in the morning seems too early. Half the days I skip my breakfast and the other half of the days I skip my dinner.

My alarm shot at nine today. There was no sun in the balcony, I checked and rechecked the time, since it appeared no more than seven. Damn it’s actually nine. I literally dragged myself to cook something for dinner lest I skip dinner again today. I felt like a drunken monkey.

Reached office but there isn’t too much work either. Since last two weeks I have turned quite efficient. I am quite happy with my own performance this fortnight. That matters more than what others think. I can also point out a few limitations and bugs in hibernate. Howzzat!!!!

I never knew there were so many CHINDICHORS in my office. I got a new 2GB memory card and a pair of new earphones for my phone the other day. I kept the earphones in my drawer and somehow forgot to lock my drawer. My earphones are missing this morning. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

The entire office, the news channels, the newspapers…all are talking about just one thing…SATYAM. Dude…I have some shares worth a ten thousand with Satyam, I bought them at 138 and now they are worth just 35. Damn!!!
I had this discussion with my colleagues this evening on this, as most of them would say that Ramalinga Raju is a fraud. Lot have been said and done about the same, Satyam Computers stripped off Golden Peacock Global Award, and they have been removed from the Sensex and Nifty as well…and sure a lot more is yet to come with each passing day.

But I actually feel sad for the guy. I mean…come on…who doesn’t manipulate balance sheets. I am sure all companies do it to some extent. You cant strive in business if you are a saint.

At school we manipulated the readings in the physics lab, the teacher knew it, I am sure he would have done it when he was in our shoes.
We get adulterated stuff everywhere, the milk, the rice, the oil…you name it.
People tamper with horoscopes in marriages.
The shopping malls increase the market price by 75% and give a 50% SALE on it.
Don’t we all tamper with data at some point for personal gain.

Yes, the crime is to get caught...and that's where Satyam went wrong.

I don't advocate what Ramalinga Raju has done but for sure he is not the only one, he is the only one who got caught...yet if he is to be believed, he hasn't used the money for his personal benefits, he just wanted to prevent his company from being taken over. So all I feel for him is pity and more so towards the employees who have their jobs at stake, more so since the IT is going through the worst recession phase...and the investors like me who are losing their hard earned money.

LOOKING BACK AT 2008

Some of my favorites moment of 2008:
