Did You Know!?

Hmm.. its sort of the Did You Know column that you get to see in TOI everyday!
Wonder what can be the info!? Obvious every software techie's love towards Google. But how many of us have really observed this -- Not sure.

While my engineering brain was too hungry, I was venturing for some unknown how-many-times-will-you-pop-up-stupid-error into the holy Google, it all of a sudden hit the cute, little, round, orangish apple on the home-page! And again its the engineering brain, went ahead R&D-ing on the major blocker P1 critical issue ;)

A 2 liner on this would be: Roald Dahl (13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a Welsh novelist, short story author and screenwriter of Norwegian parentage, famous as a writer for both children and adults. His work includes Children writing, Adult fiction, non-fiction, Plays, Filmscripts, TVs etc.,
And a more detailed blah-blah here

And ya.. who can come up with such a wonderful logo other than namma Google :)

Happy B'day dude!!! :D

On land!!!!!!!!!

After meddling around with my login id for a few mins, I landed here. after a dumbu here asked me ... 'hmm.. mm.... y our machi has gone into hibernation period?? or is it the regular bloggers 2 night enthu - no updates' its a prestige issue for me, while 'v' stayed back for work, i decided to sit and pen down a line or few to bug you al again!
On land- i meant the usual on-site enthu, was jumping and flying althrough and finally got back, came down.. zzzz... landed!
Few things to mention:
1. London - more of a mixture of colors.. grhhh in any sense u take. full summer and holiday mood and of course, was totally busy!
2. Southampton, a wonderful, calm quite place! loved my stay there. ppl wimme called it a 'dead city' tho.
3. Dunno why people there are in such a big hurry to get back home by 5PM (a very good habit to be followed). Infact we Indians slog so much at office, still our population is high :p :p
4. Daytime: 4AM-10PM. and needless to say, very short nights (think the above point goes clear here). summer and they really look for it!
5. Will be greatful (This word outta ma mouth for the 1st ever time :D)if I get another chance! Could see not so much but a lil heavy pay-slip, month end! :)

some pics out of the 3GB hola ones which we carried back along!:

Cutie and the fishies behind :)

This story that I gotta mention here. 1st day - sponsored lunch from the client side.. tho i'm not from somalia, was in this big enthu to fall into the fry pan n finish the entire dish! a quick walkthrough of the menu... decided on la'tish-pish-tush (plz dont ask me wat it was) looked spicy yummy hot - nah hautche!! took, ate, suddenly like what comes in Jackie movies, wanted to go puke. asked what really was it after finishin half! got to know thats the most ever crappy food :( BEEF!! :(( was runnin to the loo and cube 100 times in 4 hrs stopped experimentin there. The standard dinner menu then on! Doesnt it look yummie tooo!?


Should spend a part of life there atleast for these 2 things! The variety cars and not-to-mention, the clean roads!!

ciao...

dunno-what-to-name

the title line and my previous post would make you wonder what I'm upto! If not, then you should soon reach out to a psychiatrist.. or may be an astrologist to get tips on how to grow your thinking line as huge as a banyan tree!

For the past 1 year, I was caught in the hands of a lady animal, as crude as a mother-in-law who comes in this story which you would've read in newspapers often.. "girl set herself on fire... prolonged harassment by mother-in-law!". No, you are wrong! I'm still single. I'm freed from my previous house owner Bit**! Now New place, new roomies, very good food. May be I'll blow up a lil more in the next few months, Hope so.. Need to get married yaar; For how long only can I be single :D So tough you know!!

How tough is telling a 'no' to people. that too to somebody whom you are really close and show utmost respect to! I'm not able to believe when some story like 'RHTDM' happens with myself. No, the guy aint Madhavan, for I'm not Diya:p but ya.. better than him in all possible ways! Me like a fish out of water. I used to wonder when people say that they are not able to have good sleep, proper food and blah-blah if they are really crazy enough to do all that. Now I wonder if this is called being closer to this four letter word H-E-L-L!
One thing I can beat upon is that few people say on few things that they would never do it, but nobody can ever be stubborn with this funda. Every damn soul on earth is pushed to a situation where they have to break this ward and come out doing what they beat once that they would never do it on earth!

Yet another farewell, my lovely way of referring him 'macha'. Gone for his MBA to SIBM. A meaningful mail he wrote to me when I asked him why would he go for this institute and that if he is like a dog starving for the bone, just getting in somewhere while he deserves something bigger than this. Though I know his lovely character before, the mail increased my love and respect towards him. Lots of people live a real meaningful life too not like just for the heck of it!
check this out: we gifted him a Fast Track watch on his farewell. we love you mann! miss you lots.

There is this guy here who is now a father of a 3rd child! For the first 2 kids my manager sent a mail to the team saying that 'Mr.X is blessed with a baby so n so. congrats'. But this time nobody seemed to ever remember and our Mr.X mailed all of us himself saying that 'My wife delivered a baby blah-blah'. I'm sorry, not tryin to make fun. Just that when things happen repetitively people tend to forget the importance of it and this case its really too much!! Loll :))

I see this guy and wonder always why dont I write a post which speaks on one single thing! Tough to achieve it, anyways will keep trying. Hey I'm not a jealous goose :|

Keep Jumping.. Keep Beating!!

For a change I've decided to put up a health tips column here!
So.. check this out. a forward which I got over the mail..

The content of the forward went like this..

Dear Friends,

Just check this out and think about your healthy body......
The Organs of your body have their sensory touches at the bottom of your foot.
Typically they are shown as points and which organ it connects to. If you massage these points, you will find relief from aches and pains as you can see the heart is on the left foot.
It is indeed correct since the nerves connected to these organs terminate here.
This is covered in more details in Acupressure Studies and Natural Health Textbooks.

God created our body so well. He made us walk so that we will always be pressing these pressure points and thus keeping these organs activated healthy "if we are walking regularly at all times".

Keep Walking!







Take Care!
