If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you....

2006-07-11T05:03:00.000+05:30

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat these two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: `Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

-Rudyard Kipling

- Somethings u dont like for no reason!! Like the word "da" when used by someone talking to me!! I hate someone talking to me using that word.....

- I think on my first interaction with anyone, I decide whether I need to treat them really bad....always they either turn out to be jerks anyway... or people who I never want to be with.......Is'nt that good that I can find this thing in my first interaction?

- Am I as good as I think....I think I am coming to the relization that I am no more as good as i think..... thats not a statment made because I am feeling down.... I am saying this since I want to be a better man then I am.... need to improve on all those things that I feel I am not good at.....Not that I want to improve at the things that I have never thought of.. only want to be a good at things that I thought that I was..... I am drunk!!

- So what else.... I heard a comment today that its going to eb hell for someone who is going to be my wife!! Was that a good one!! I know I'm aggressive, very arrogant... and give people really bad time.......That does not mean that I do the same with someone I Love! So the question now is....Will I Love My Wife... Or is that something more than the Stupid word Love!!

- Oh...When did start calling Love Stupid.......... I dont know.... Was reading a blog this morning and was influenced by that!! So I get influenced easily?

- Can I have my own company... I working for ME!! I'm thinking a lot about this one for a couple of days now and seems there is a silver lining... Lets see how I am going to handle this one!!

- Seems guys have Vodka ready for me......Yeh! My sentence might not mean anything in a lot of worlds!! I understand what I say...Do I need to care abt others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're all about raw power. You're tough, you're loud, and you don't take crap from anyone. Leave finesse to the other cars, the ones eating your dust.

Got up with great difficulty after having a great Saturday...Watching football....
Playing football and great time in swimming pool till 2 am!

We had rented a car and the team was too good in keeping up with time.... We started at around 8 am with Prashanth taking our snaps at the Apartment front!!

Thanks to Akshay..was good with navigation and we reached Indy without getting lost and then it was great suggestion from KC on parking.. and got the same for $5....

We had to walk around a mile to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and we had planned earlier to buy tickets on street!! Got a great deal there bargaining for tickets but threw it away when we were too excited abt getting that great deal... paid that ticket selling guy 100 bucks more...(8 engineers were too good at math!! and tipped that chap !!).......

As we got closer it was Red all over!! flags! men and women wearing Red!! all over! too many Ferrari fans!! As we walked into the seating area and took our seats....slowly the machines started to roar out of the pits to.. To be continued!! Its too boring to pen this thing down now!!

Back.. after a long hiatus!

2006-01-19T10:52:00.000+05:30

Its in my blood.. to be pretty inconsistent with the things I do, swinging form one GoodThing (being optimist!) to another....Now you know the reason for this long hiatus!

With no much work to do and stock markets in high, I could not think of my space on the net other than ICICI Direct, EconomicTimes and Moneycontrol! And for the last couple of days I have run out of all the money that was available to invest in market..Now you know the reason for me being back here (Of-course Namratha did remind me, would not be here if I had money to play with market!)

There are so many interesting things going on these days... Search for my better half (Ah.. better half!, hope its going to be like that!)... and my MBA (does anyone remember that !)...Stock Market touching 9600 and ascending new heights.... the greatest being me being on Bench for this long time...... its been like months together now... and I am still not bored with it!... Did I forget something.... Ah..My new car!

Just heard KD shouting about the DB design change.... and also here is a mail from Girish that Design needs to completed by tomorrow!! So getting back to work :((....

Fire alarm!

2005-07-19T10:00:00.000+05:30

This is the best mood of my stay here.. A tennis set and bath !! And Kannada songs on udbhava ..Oo Gulaabi ye ! Oho Gulaabiye...
Did a little shopping this weekend... otherwise it was all lazing in apartment. Chai was behind me selling perfumes for the book that was free with it!! "Sports Illustrated - Greatest Feats"..He did well.. we ended up buying perfumes that were worth more than $130.. and got all the books they had stacked there :D
Was staying up late on Friday night...this new project we are doing has got on my mind and I was working madly till Saturday morning 4 am. That's when the fire alarm went off..its a horrible noise... I thought the just was in my apartment and was hitting the alarm piece with tennis bat. We usually had the batteries removed out of it..since it went off often when we cooked...
KD got up and then Chai and Patil came out. I went out of the apartment and saw the Indian guy in my next apartment had a girl staying with him!!! :D
Nows the funniest.. When we all headed down taking the satires. we were there outside the apartment building...there came manohar and sudir..Sudir in lungi carrying a big suit case..... everyone there were laughing at this guy.....while these guys had got their passport and the money that they had, guess what we had with us!
We were not interested to know what had happened. Think that was a hoax!! Back to our apartment. we took the stair case up all the 7 floors...this was the first time I took the stairs eventhough we have the slowest lift in town!!.... Chai turned on the TV as usual and we were there watching NGC.. Crocodile Story!!!!
It was 5;30 AM when we finally went to bed!

Another Sunday is fading away!

2005-07-11T01:01:00.000+05:30

After a well spent Saturday lazing and staying up late for watching "Sarkar" its Sunday afternoon already!!
Sarkar is a great movie. I loved it. Should have watched in theater is what I am feeling now. After Devar Magan this is another movie that kept me glued to sofa all the way. I remember watching Devar Magan on Shivraatri night along with my Sister. She was my movie guide then. Those were the days when there were no movies on TV except for those on the weekend on DD1 :) and I was not allowed to go to theaters. My Dad considered that a taboo. It was great time spent with family watching those limited movies on TV.
Got up at 12:00 Noon!! thinking in my mind that I have only 10 hrs of Sunday!! thought of calling home but the phone is too busy these days in here with Chai glued to it most of the time. I am little surprised to see that Chai has still not turned on the TV. He gets pissed of if he is not allowed to watch it!!
After K's chai, KD and K decided Uttappam for breakfast... sorry Lunch..or is that too late for lunch tooo!! I was took the first shot at uttappams. I am feeling better now after uttappam and tea.
Since I am here this time I am crazy about this song!Woh Lamhe, Woh Baatein.... Koi na Jaane,.... Thi Kaisi Raatein,.... Ho, Barasaatein,..... Woh Bheegi Bheegi Yaadein, Woh Bheegi Bheegi Yaadein,......I'm enjoying my stay till now.. there is KD, Chai and then there was Vishnu with us 2 weeks back. We are having very good time.. My great gang in US!
I am enjoying that I do not have to worry about cooking, even though I love to do that! There's KD doing that.. and then Chai's sambaar is too good... I have already started to miss Vishnu's sandwiches :D.... Ok stop making faces now. I am cooking tooo! what.. ? my trade mark..patented LemonRice.. I am turning out to be an expert day by day.... and then I am there always in kitchen behind KD making sure that he has salt in everything that he is handling!! he gets so irritated....
I think I'm a little good towards manohar...I photographed for him. I took soo many pics of him..he was happy looking at those !.. I made manohar happy!!
I think I have spent a lot of time on this laptop this day.... Let me go join Chai on TV! Ye.. He is finally there in front of TV!!
Adios!

Was trying out Hello today!

Journey to US

2005-05-16T08:20:00.000+05:30

May 09, 2005 - Left Bangalore in our usual Jet Airways to Mumbai.... as the flight took off, it was a beautiful sun set view from my flight window...and when the pilot took the first turn I remembered my childhood days.. running with both the arms in air like the eagle in sky... I had never dreamt of me, KD and Vishnu will get together in a place like US.. and to add to this there was chai slated to join us in a week's time... these were my thoughts in plane with KD sitting next to me..... in no time we landed in Mumbai.....
We stood in airport thinking what to do for next 5 hrs? KD wanted to call his Sis and me wanted to call a friend. As usual I was not prepared enough! so I did not have her number. KD called is sis and we waited for more than an hour before she arrived with her lovely Kid.. Next hour I spent time with the Kid.. she was so happy riding my carry-on luggage bag! it was a trolley for here! It was getting late for them to leave.. and we got our boarding passes and headed to Gate 1 or was that Gate 2.. don't remember.
It was time for "Veg or Non-Veg Sir!" as soon as we got into BA295....Time for trying some vine..KD too wanted to taste vine!! We thought that we'll change in London and KD was sleeping next minute! and me after an hour watching some bad movie..
It was a chilling morning in London .. I have never seen winter in west ! thus temp of 10C was a chilling ! We changed in London Heath Row. The best thing about this airport is Smoking Lounge! We then boarded BA 135. There was a little anxiety before immigration check at Chicago.. but when it got over it was like same thing that I had seen earlier.. wait for 3 hrs before we boarded AA to Cincinnati. Vishnu and Manohar were there waiting or us! It was like back home!!
Took a cab to Forum Apartments 707 Martin Luther King Dr. I am so familiar with the address!!
As soon we stepped into the apartment the first idea was Swimming!! This is the reason why I am so comfortable with these guys! They are as crazy as I am !! After travelling for 30 long hrs we wanted that we'll go and jump into the water!! Bigining of a wounderful era!
