  • Room gets a whiteboard!

    Any idea what can I write on it? 🙂

    Saturday has been both lazy and rewarding so far! Nice!
  • Champ of the month!

    Getting an award when you cannot substantiate why you “should” get it is more of an embarrassment than a matter of pride!
    Maybe I am being overcritical of myself, but I am not really sure why I should have been awarded at work as yet! Am far from what I need to achieve!

  • InnGaAnAe; Jugaad and the Idiot

    While I was driving back yesterday evening, this sign caught my attention… The engines on the airplane sticker look kind of funny to me!!!
    And I couldn’t help but notice the hindi version of the acronym for Indira Gandhi International Airport!!! From now on please refer to the Delhi Airport Terminal Aas Inn-Ga-An-Ae
    I feel nice about some of the changes that have happened in Delhi over the last decade… However the hustle bustle and amount of vehicles on the road, and all of this rat race makes us see right through that, and only end up cribbing and complaining!

    While yesterday night, I was wondering at the improvements in the city, and feeling good about it… I got into a thought conflict while driving to work in the morning today… What you see in the photograph below, is a pedal rickshaw used to transport light heavy items for short distances… A lot of owners put a 100cc old scooter engine to cover longer distances, and save physical labor in such rickshaws… Good! innovation! and the great Indian JUGAAD! But today I saw a family of 4 using this and along with them was a small baby as well… This guy was driving at a good 40kmph completely oblivious of the fact that a small bump might throw all of them to the ground, and it could just be fatal, specially because of the speed of traffic at this hour.
    Oh, and just for the records! These are not supposed to ply on the Ring Road!

    And now lets get personal! The driver of this car! no no! the arsehole driving this car hits my car from behind… and in bumper to bumper traffic! no no.. it was not a gentle push, or a little peck! It was a bang! And then makes gestures like his father owns the bloody road!!!
    And when I ask him to stop, he just rushes through like the illegitimate brother of Nayaran Kartikeyan…

    The rear bumper had a slight impact but I was able to fix it after I reached work! I hope no plastic parts have broken!

    Have a good Wednesday!
  • Happy Monday!

    Driving to work with Radha! She never ceases to amaze me on our drives!

    Speaking of numbers!
    I was out at the Flour Mill near my house yesterday to get flour! I had visited the guy a few minutes ago when Tushar had come over to get some stuff.
    This fella tells me on my second visit that he was wondering why I was not buying the flour as we had bought flour from him about 30 days ago, and it takes about 25 days for my family to finish 10kgs of wheat flour.
    He seemed very happy about the fact that he was right in his estimate!
    This is a pretty busy shop that I am talking about, and if this guy remembers how much floor is consumed by every household which buys flour from him, we are in for an interesting statistical time-pass.

    Numbers do play an important roles in our lives! We do like to related numbers with future, past and present! And there never is a shortage of numbers of you are interested!
    I like numbers too! Love them rather! Driving for over 3 hours everyday gives me an opportunity to think about a lot of numbers..
    ~ How many cars overtook me!
    ~ How many vehicles did I pass?
    ~ How many flyovers in my way?
    ~ How many times I end up in the lane slower than the right and left side lanes on the toll bridge?
    ~ How many times I honked?
    ~ How many time I was the last person to cross the traffic light before it turned red?
    And some more numbers on my desk!
    1. How many keys do I press everyday?
    2. How many meters does my mouse move everyday?
    It kind of moves a couple of cms every 15 seconds… lets assume two centimeters every 15 seconds,making it about 8 centimeters every minute on an average which means about 480 cms every hour, and in the entire working day of 8 hours I move my mouse for about 3840 cms or 38.40 meters! Not bad for everyday workout 😀
  • Sharma Bandhu!

    Enjoy!

    I feel at Peace!!!
