Yawn!! and DTEA

No matter it was mom's effort..repeated calls..each time the decibel increased...radio switched on...and i wake up eventually after hearing my name for 20-25 times approx(ya,i counted).I stepped out to get milk disheartened that i was deprived of my sleep.Coz,i had slept after burning the mid night oil over a movie.Well,i dont regret that coz,the movie was just awesome.NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN,guyz do watch it.Its engaging,story is perfect and flawless direction.The psycho hitman's performance is hard to forget.The story revolves around a guy who finds a briefcase full of cash near a dead guy,after following a trail.Mexicans have a drug deal,but not satisfactory though and end up killing each other over a dispute.The hitman uses some kind a gun,which i wiki-ed later and found out the name.Its called as captive bolt pistol.I saw its usage for the first time,and was impressed by the way this guy used it to open locked doors.True words,its an oscar material.

Yeah,so i was on the way to get milk from diary when i came across a LiL girl on the way to school.She was yawning,oh boy,she was looking damn cute.At that moment i felt that fine dude,only you haven't been deprived of your sleep.I hated getting up early,but i loved going to school.DTEA was like that.Awesome years,Classic classes,Nice canteen.The day which had mechanical drawing period,was the best day of the week.As,I was walking down the memory lane,within moments i reached home.

Soon,will post about all-time-must-watch movies.I will finish of with a copy-paste quote.

All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers.

So..head to the bed...

The spirit of green stallion

This was my first encounter with the delhi monsoon while driving and it was just a bad bad experience.Bajaj Chetak,has been the soul bread winner for Bajaj Automobiles since long and still does not disappoint its owners,well..its a wrong statement.I was on my stallion when the rain god started the down pour.The clouds were dark ,but not dark enough to stop me .I stepped out and started my scooter,which was behaving normally till then.When i crossed the main gate,i got the real feel of the climate,it was awesome.Awesome time for sitting in the balcony and enjoying a hot cup of strong tea.I was thinking about the tea,when i dodged to cows,heading nowhere.I was just across the bridge road,when a drop of water, hit my right eye.And within a minute,the breaking news,
"Heavy Showers Bring Relief in East Delhi".
But,no relief for this guy,on his green stallion.Showers were damn strong and accompanied with wind,gave me a hint of some catastrophe to happen.I stopped for a shelter and left my scooter for a water wash.I did not know the implications of this,as i said before that, this was my first encounter with the monsoon while driving.I called my sis and assured her that i would be @ the bus stand in 10 min.I barely crossed 50 meters, and the situation worsened.I was forced to take shelter again.Started again,Stopped again,Nearly fell down.The 1st gear was smooth,2nd was equally good,but 3rd and 4th gears were impossible.But,still i wanted to reach the bus stand asap.I saw a cart fall down and the same incident happened again within 20 meters,t'was like a deja vu.I was fortunate enough to avoid a big bump,avoiding a crash.All this time my stallion was pretty good,except some minor jerks and hiccups.It took me a while to realize that i was the only guy,who was on a 2-wheeler,on that road.Finally i reached the stop,met my sis.

Huh..time to head back...The scooter refused to start........WTF......I became an joker with a helmet on,kicking hard.At this moment realized that ..My 103 Kg stallion has got castrated (LOL),and it needs some rest to start.The rest of the story is evident from the fact that ...MY SHOULDERS ARE STILL PAINING...

On a lighter note...Nehru's pride @ stake!!

The English premier league,or for that matter any league outside india,telecasted is a treat to watch.Simple reason being,SOCCER,it isn't like cricket that drags through out the day(even 20-20's are boring sometimes).I am not saying this because of the recent cricket overdose.At the same time i praise STAR CRICKET for showcasing this cricket-mania in a positive manner,by publicizing this using a celebrity like John Abraham(Remember the ad??).

India vs Lebanon.Nehru Cup.

At first i thought t'was Libya vs India,as the scoreboard in Zee Sports showed LIB 1-0IND.Eventually,i was wrong.The FIFA has given the code of LIB to Lebanon not LEB,cause in french lebanon is République libanaise.Unfortunately,the score remained the same till the end.I strongly believe that if this kind of performance persists, then the defending champions wont be even in final 3.Passing was awful.
Sur Kumar,was the defender,and his passes never reached the intended person.Bhaichung,was unlucky,why did he get the yellow card???Wasn't his fault at all.The free kick that hit the target for Lebanon was bang-on,and the Indian goalie,was stunned.It was always a 4 lenbanese-2 Indians scenario in the forward.

Hmm.tough game for india.and brothers there's more to come.

Imagine tis in Gujarat!!


I found a news bit,that was awesome and thought to share this wid u guyz.
Booze flowed free for over 100 villagers, including women, who partied hard after a truck carrying foreign liquor overturned on NH-5 in Jajpur district.Most of the villagers, who are daily labourers, had not tasted foreign liquor and the orgy left them intoxicated. While several people skipped work the next day to sleep it off, as many as 10 villagers were admitted to a hospital after suffering severe hangovers. They were discharged after preliminary treatment.
This is what happens when people get something they never had before.These poor villagers are being envied by the villagers of Gujarat,as they have been going thru a phase of liquor ban.Even if they get to drink something,tats local and definitely not foreign.
I was waiting for the next update hoping that some weird incident like in the movie Hangover could catch up the media's scrutiny.
Interesting note:Liquor can be purchased in Gujarat after a prescription from doctor,for medicinal purposes and foreigners need to get permit to drink in hotels.

This can make your job search useless!!!


Not for GMAIL users!!!

CV as they abbreviate,is a vital doc as far as the job search is concerned.The most important things in your CV are of course your Qualification Summary/Skill set.But,another thing which carries equal weightage is the email id u have mentioned in your CV.


Yahoo users!!!(yahoo.com/.co.in,rocketmail.com/.co.in,ymail.com/.co.in)

Ever tried changing your domain to .com if .co.in or vice-versa and sending mail to the ID.You will fail to do so.!!!!.In an overconfident manner people generally dont look at this mistake and forget to remember the domain they have mentioned.This will naturally result in failed correspondence from the prospective end and the guy/gal will no even bother to check out the mailer daemon notice.

So watch out..and All the best wid your job searching....




The kongu exp(erience)

Today,i went to the nizamuddin railway station to receive 2 friends ,coming by Kongu Express.These guyz were called for an interview in CSIR.The train was late by 20 min.Blessed are these people ,cause the same day earlier,Tamil Nadu express was 6 hrs late and followed by GT which was 8 hrs late(GT usually comes before TN).

The platform ticket...

I don't understand the funda that in the months of May and June the platform tickets are not issued ,the reason being the crowd of commuters.But i don't understand,why is it being issued the rest of the year,this is not a solution to tackle the crowd.I understand that revenue generation is one of the priorities of The Indian Railways,but it should not be ,at the cost of time being spent by the people in queue.Despite of having 8 counters,the tickets are issued only in 4 of them,not at all sufficient for a station that experiences a crowd of a hell.

The people out there...

Annoyances are inevitable.Standing in the queue,i was constantly tested for my patience to erupt.The guy before me had wrapped around his neck a towel,the moment it slipped he threw it back in the place,and thereby slapping that towel on my face in that process.The guy behind me,heard his train's announcement and started shouting at his voice's best,not on the ticket-counter clerk,but on my ears.Moreover,the queue is common for all ticket seekers for ,express,Local,passenger,goods(LOL).

And the cherry on the cake was,no autos where found,as it was auto strike today.Good God.

I dont complain coz,i know tat many people like me would have complained before but in VAIN.

No probs if u've lost ur hibernation files!!!

Vista OS.the 10GB hard disk space-seeker has always made me to ask for more space.When i bought my lappy with a space configuration of 160GB, i did not know that 160 GB is not enough for a movie-buff like me.This misjudgment resulted in a disaster,i used to have 4-5 app crashes(i heard tats a space constraint problem) and an extremely slow PC.Within a week,i had free hard disk space left as 666 MB out of 160 GB,huh.

The reason..I had 60 GB of movies,20 GB of softwares and 25 GB of docs and misc stuff..
I started to wonder Wat shall be done,and i went for disk cleanup,i found tat the hibernation files were using some 2.5GB of files (as u can see applications are not closed when one hibernates the pc).i promptly deleted them and was happy to have a 3 GB space back.

Here the problem occurred,naturally i was not able to hibernate my pc and the usual shutdown-restart procedure persisted.This cycle used to get my system to a operable state only after 15 min of essential procedures.

As i hate slow,crap pc's,i was forced to conclude that space=overhead was better than time=overhead.The solution was to restore my hibernation files,but how????
I hit upon a procedure,its like....

1. Click the Start button.

2. Select All Programs.

3. Select Accessories.

4. Right-click on Command Prompt.

5. Select Run as Administrator.

6. When the UAC prompt appears, click Continue.

7. Type powercfg /hibernate on and press Enter on your keyboard.

8. Close the Command Prompt window.

9. Reboot your PC.


I blame vista as it has least to offer for the 10 GB space(approx) it takes.....
