  • Floor the 13th

    My seat is on the 13th floor of the office building, and one of the nicest things that happens to me often is the morning sunlight falling on my desk (on the sunny days, which are not so common right now)…

    This is something that brings a smile to my face almost every time !

    Oh, and did I mention that I can see the vaaaast lake Michigan from my office too… its actually just a 5 minute walk away… Its beautiful !!!

  • You Hear I Tell !

    You can tell a lot about the music the person is listening through headphones, even though you are not listening to it..

    1. If the person is moving the head sideways, back and forth, (s)he is probably listening to some Indian Classical or something based on Rags…

    2. If the head is moving up and down, slowly, then its probably some pop rock or a light peppy number

    3. If the head moves up and down, faster, and the hands/fingers move as if the person is playing a guitar or drums, then its probably some rock rock… a bit harder than soft and softer than hard !

    4. If the person’s body is moving and the legs are tapping the floor, its probably a dance number…

    5. If the person is doing something other than listening to music, it is probably just a random selection of music and a ligh volume

    What else?

    I am really missing the green room below the stage in my collage today! For some reason I am thinking of all the wonderful hours I have spent there !!!

  • Husbands and Wives in HINDI

    What is the hindi translation of Husbands and Wives?It is “Dil Kabbaddi”.

    There are movies which are adapted, there are movies which are inspired and for the time first time ever, I saw a movie which is a translation, and with different faces and characters, but the same dialogues, the same time of doors being slammed and opened, the same timing of smiles and laughter, the same reference to places, phew !!!!

    Rahul Bose , Konkona Sen and Irfan Khan are real fine actors without doubt, but I am sad to see them act in this movie because all they are doing is speaking the same dialogues which were spoken in Woody Allen’s “Husbands and Wives” in Hindi and bits of english and trying to act the same movie out in different settings ! What were they thinking when they decided to do this? And Soha is such a misfit ! She has done a terrible delivery of the dialogues and expressions !!!

    So if you were waiting to watch “Dil Kabaddi” I would say don’t, rather watch the original !!! You will like it more for sure !

    and while you are at it, do try to watch “Match Point“… what a smartly made movie… I liked it more coz it reminded me of London.. one of the places I love to love !

  • I am connected ! Are you?

    ЁЯЩВ

    Tell me tell me !!!

    Are you connected too?

    We all can make a virtual network of sorts ЁЯЩВ

    I changed my Wireless Network Name to BhagwanJi today… Now I can be reminded of my connection everytime I switch on my laptop ЁЯШЫ

  • Congress gets power, I get an IP Softphone

    Congress is getting back to power in Delhi… while some people would not like it, I am not surprised by this situation and am rather happy to see Sheila Dikshit continue ! This time around some 60% of the janta voted and I feel most would be glad to see the result !

    In the last 4-5 years, I have seen a lot of things changing in Delhi and more for good than bad and I am hopeful that they were continue. The way Delhi has worked on its infrastructure is commendable and while that should continue, I am sure the other things which need attention would get their due in the next few years !

    So way to go team !

    And I got a IP softphone today…


    now I am ready for a true home office and would be available on my office extension irrespective of where I am sitting in the world ! how cewl is that ! The world of Outlook Web Access, VPNs, Xtra-nets, and Soft Phones !

  • PickNick

    Went to a picnic last weekend with a friend and his wife…

    Looking at the number of leaves all around, I can only image how pretty this place would have been in Fall !!! And I am sure its going to look very very beautiful when there is snow all around !!! I am waiting for a decent snow fall to go there again !

    Enjoy the pictures !

    Patterns on a stone slab !

    Gaurav

    The water has started freezing here…
    And the leaves have dried up !
    But the place still looks beautiful!





    I like snow on my shoes !!! Subbu dekh le, ye joote yahan bhi kaam aa rahe hain.. Jai Woodland !



  • Prasha – Cook(er)

    Third time in a row, cooking for myself did not disappoint me ! And I am nothing but extremely happy that the food has been great !

    I am also surprised that I did not mess up the salt or anything else either !!! But this is a pleasant surprise !

    And too bad there was no one to see the expressions on my face when I tasted food ЁЯЩВ :/

    I am getting there ЁЯЩВ slowly but surely !!!

    and celebrating with a nice banana split scoop is just the right thing !

    p.s. thanks Joy for the title ЁЯША

  • Mirror Mirror On the Wall !!!

    Who is the most surprised of them all!!!

    Looks like shooting is becoming a pastime around !!! What the FKK has happened in Mumbai… every Tom Dick and Harry thinks they can hold a city to ransom just like that !!!

    But then why am I even talking about Mumbai ! what the political parties do to the people is nothing less than this !!!

    Its just the people who get killed at the end of the day !

  • Gorgeous !

    What is it that makes women look amazingly beautiful when the breeze plays around with their hair? and when they decide to just come in front of the face?

    I live in a windy part of the city in Milwaukee, and every morning when I come to the office, I see a number of them walking, with the hair freely tossed around by the wind… (I guess they have not started feeling too cold yet, good for me ЁЯЩВ ) and they just look gorgeous !
