I want to.....

2011-07-02T23:55:00.003+05:30

I have lost touch, of blogging , cribbing or even writing something worth posting here. I am not sure what to tell.., With the introduction of twitter/buzz/facebook wall , what all you feel u can just put it there and you can release your anger/criticisms/cribbing or whatever, so I don't see much of blogging activity from my side in this place.

This post is all about I want to.....

I want to learn python (long time wish)

I want to blog regularly here so that i have some bookmarks of my life here which i can visit later.

I want to spend sometime about fitness.

I want to stop eating junk food.

I want to buy a MAC (weird but want to)

I want to find a new job!!!

I want to sleep .... ( Its been a long time since i had a nice sleep. I am not sure somehow i don't get to have sound sleep in recent times with all these crappy things going on in my brain)

That's all i can think as of now, this post is just to get myself back into the habit of blogging.

I use this blog mainly to put my thoughts and come back later in life and laugh about how silly i have written things here. I have already read few of my old posts and did a ROFL. ;) gives me happiness. :) .

Year End!

2010-12-30T08:51:00.005+05:30

Hi ,

As usual i don't understand what it takes to regularly write something here, but most of the time its laziness, and probably i have forgotten the art of transferring thoughts to words, anyways 2010 end is nearing and 2011 is about to begin. Whats the difference ?

After 5 yrs in Software industry, i have already got used to year end bashes, valentine day celebrations , diwali gifts(sweet boxes) etc etc. But somewhere all the josh is missing in each and every occasion as its all looking like routine for me.

Time is passing so fast that , i clearly remember the last tow Ganesha Chaturthi's and even went on to think why do we have to do the same thing again and again ??? like decorating house etc etc .. I mean it was boring for me this year to celebrate any festival for that matter (i need a break i guess). So with this i can conclude either i am not taking breaks or i am thinking too much on a simple issue ;) . Whatever ... its once again routine to even think like this :).

I would like to tell about a jinx which started 4 yrs ago and hopefully its not happening this year. It goes like this, "Every year December has been the most horrible month of the year for me from past 4 years". I sometimes even get scared that December has arrived.

December 2006: It all started 4 yrs back i traveled to Korea on December 8th 2006, Boom!!!!! The Journey started with josh excitement but only it stayed for 1 week , afterwards i could not adjust to that country, cold, ppl work environment etc etc. lost 9 kgs in 3 weeks time , finally came back by cutting the trip short. ( in a sad mood/mode).

December 2007 : I was asked to work for one of our companies client place. I was the only one in that place and it was kind of struggling experience to work with few stupid bozo's out there in that company. they even asked me to work on 31st of December and later when i went to office they said you could have taken off. It was kind of most horrible times i had spent in that job.

December 2008: I was once again posted to work for one of the client place and everything was decent enough, but on 28th of Dec they told project is closed and sent us back on Jan 4th . Actually that bad mode/mood continued in 2009. I hated the year 2009.

December 2009: I was once again posted to work for one of the client place and what shall i say it was the worst nightmares.

December 2010: Till now nothing has happened but you never know still its not the end of the year .

Moral of the story Avoid working for a technology consulting company which will relocate you to customer's place with the tag "outsourcing" or "technology outsourcing" actually end up doing "body shopping"

So i wish everyone a very happy prosperous new year filled with joy, happiness and all your wishes come true.

signing off 2 days before end of 2010. For me 2010 will be mostly remembered for the maximum amount of uncertainty,pain, and stupidity :) . Hope it wont repeat in 2011.

Moral police!!! :P

2010-02-13T08:56:00.004+05:30

Hi all,

I wish everyone Happy new year 2010. I am always this lazy to wish people :P.

Few updates from my side,
1) I resigned from my previous job(which was driving me crazy from last one year).
2) Currently i am unemployed(kind of liking it .. only till Monday)
3) In this new year my resolution of "Not spending money on stupid movies" has been successful till date (yesssssss!)

OK now whats the buzz .. Sriram sene/shiva sene/ monkey sene / !@#$@# sene. I really don't understand why these things are in place and trying to behave as if they are protecting Indian culture. OK i want make it clear that i am neither supporting the celebration of Valentines day or the release of "My name is Khan" , but when i browse through TV channels and see/hear news about these monkeys protesting and burning posters and trying to impose "BANDH" i cannot stop myself thinking ... WTH.

I read a statement from the leader of "monkey sene" "Whatever happens we will not allow people of Karnataka to celebrate Valentine's day " , i just have one question for him "Who the hell are u to decide". Its completely left to the people of INDIA/Karnataka to celebrate something , in fact its each and every individual right (perception). If some non-sensical idiot decides something is there any rule that we follow ? I am sure this year also Mr.Mutalik gets thousands of Pink under wears , He can become rich by selling those than trying to impose things on people. How about Mutalik under wears ??? :P

Now shiva sena I have never heard of anything good these people done to the people of mumbai ? Ok there might be examples but these people are more famous of doing wrong-things in Mumbai and trying to act as if Mumbai is owned by them.

Yesterday because of the fact that "My name is Khan " is being released thousands of police were in place to maintain peace in the city and avoid these monkeys from doing harm to "aaam Junta" . What a shame !!!! People (police) who are actually employed to save the city from criminals and maintain peace in the city are guarding a film's release. Do we really needs these things. We already have enough reasons to get scared to live in Metro's because of the terrorist attacks and stuff now these kind of "sene"s are making it worse.

I feel the government should ban all these "sene"s and their registration and arrest these groups permanently to maintain peace in the city. Big "namaskara" to moral policing. We are sensible enough to handle ourselves and Indian culture , We don't need goondas to protect us.

By saying that ending this post (First post of the year). Pls feel free to post your comments. Hoping to blog soon.

Goodbye 2009!

2009-11-26T09:06:00.003+05:30

Yes i am bidding goodbye to 2009 1 month ahead of time. I am bugged of this year. Yeah i agree there is no connection b/w whats happening and the year 2009, but somehow this year is the worst of all. Nothing positive happened this year. No achievements, no happiness...

I work for a consulting company, and this year began by a closure of a project which brought me back to parent company, from there all the bad things started happening... Spending day/night to debug an issue where i didn't have any idea of what i was doing... And then i spent some 4-5 months working on things which are of least interest to me . From then i was asked to move to another company as a contractor. And currently i am staying there from past 6 months, doing something which is of no use to my CV or my knowledge or any thing. Here we are supposed to work on every weekend apart from spending more than 12+ hrs everyday.

Some how i am not frustrated with all these but neither i am happy. But feeling these are the years where i am supposed to work on something which i like .. something which makes sense.. something where i can put a lot of my thinking and improve my skills. Apart from putting some prints here and there and taking binary dumps at few places.. I didn't do much of coding..

Somehow i want to escape all this boredom , and get-in some place where i can strengthen my skills. Improve lifestyle, have some peace of mind... Struggling to get out of this contractorgiri.
Its been almost 2.8 yrs i have been working as a contract employee in 3 different firms, 3 different technologies/domains.. Feeling like getting settled in something and start rediscovering myself. Also i lost in 2-3 interviews this year (few of them were very close one's),which added to my agony.

Apart from sad stories, this year i have watched a lot of movies, lot of suspense,thriller,horror movies. Lot of movies i watched in theater as well, needless to say by spending 200+ for a movie. Learnt to play better TT.

So now itself i want say goodbye to YEAR 2009. If something good happens in one month. I feel my life came to nearly balance state in this year 2009. Otherwise, bye bye 2009. Hoping for a better life in 2010

Happy Deepavali!!

2009-10-19T19:13:00.002+05:30

Hi All,

I wish every one Happy Deepavali and a Prosperous new year. When compared to this deepavali from last one, life has become more boring ... :P. I think year after year things are becoming routine and i am constantly losing enthusiasm in everything. Today i felt happy bursting crackers after a long time.... I had dropped the idea of bursting crackers since 4-5 years.

During our childhood days i remember we used to wait for deepavali a lot. Its only because of crackers , the fun the joy of bursting crackers was amazing. I remember every time after bursting crackers i used to feel very sad. Don't know why but i remember i used to feel very sad and lonely after bursting crackers , but this time its reverse i felt happy and i was sad before bursting crackers.

Coming to life ... Everything is same as usual. It has become boring life .. no enthu, no trekking, no trips. Its just bugs/ solving things.. interviews... nowadays only thing i enjoy is HBO/Star movies. Whenever i get time i am addicted to movie watching. I feel i have reached a stage of life where everything seems boring...

I need a change a drastic change.... Waiting for that one. Once again i wish everyone happy deepavali.

Happy New Year 2009!!! & Laziness...!!!

2009-03-31T01:23:00.007+05:30

As usual i was lazy to post something here. Lazy enough to crib about something or other thing. The word laziness has been attached to my body and soul ever since my birth i feel. For the people around me i might sound/look like a person with lots of energy levels/enthu and stuff. But actually i am dead slow/ lazy person.

Its already April, before becoming fool i felt i will write something here,at least i will wish all a Happy New year, which is actually according to our Hindu calendar Ugadi. So life is like moving on like a roller coaster ride. Everything is changing every one are changing including myself.

I am totally bugged up of work/code/fun@office or software or framework or people giving lectures on how to handle things. Even i am bugged up of giving people funda's about work/life/music or what so ever. Basically its the time where i am feeling like relaxing in life. June 01.2005 was the date when we got our Final semester results, ever since that time i am feeling like i am on a marathon race.

No time for that no time for this. Dont do that , dont do this. You have to spend time here there.... Arre yaar chodona types. I used to dream inside classes or rather i can say dreaming about future started in 7th semester itself about the wonderful job and heavy salary, cool HR's ;) ;) Fundoo PC's work atmosphere etc etc etc etc.

As the saying "The Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence " or the kannda version Doorad Betta Nunnage.... types ella kade adhe golu adhe scene. Characters change aste. ( i am feeling lazy to translate whatever i have written as well).

Probably i missed out the enjoyment in college. Probably i missed out enjoyment in my first year of JOB. or rather Second year was coool. Or else now is it fine??. same feeling are repeating. As there is a saying if u try to run behind a butterly it just goes away and it comes back and sits on you only when you sit at one place and wait .... types...

So finally i am thinking of relaxing in life. But Now the RECESSION. The word recession economic slowdown. I am bugged of hearing this news. Everywhere the same thing. I can say this is the most discussed word in 2008-2009 i feel.

So if i just grep my 3.5 years of software engg life. i get these words

:> grep -r "is there anything useful" .

(where . is my brains home directory)

2005-2006 ------> Multimedia Framework / QT
2006-2007 -------> APOXI/WMA/KOREA I LOVE U (Fun enjoy DC ROLAKUTTY SHANDE KE KARNAME)
2007-2008--------> DSHOW/ FRAMEWORK ABSTRACTION blah blah blah
2008-2009(till date)----> RECESSION / NIGHTOUT( and all the crap blah blah)

I have missed out some words due to the fact that i cannot disclose them here ;)

So i am totally bugged up , I don't even need a change. I just want CONSTANT(something like PI). I hope its not the word RECESSION. Hoping to fill this new year with lots of words like (JOY ENJOY FUN MASTI )
Let me see what happens.

For all the people i wish Happy New year, have a new and prosperous year.Enjoy have fun make sure when u grep the whole year next time you try to get all good words and lesser bad words.

One more thing the last post JUNK PEOPLE was a decent attempt to take out my frustration but i feel this is not the place and that was written for a person in my last company who still acts the same way ;) all the best for that person

Hamm... what else...
My friend Sandy gave a cool T-Shirt [Kannada one for 140 Rs] there exists a short story i ll try posting it some time here. Raghu sandy susheem and myself visited Mysore and Ooty and Bison Vally. So this year(according to English calendar) started off well with lots of energy.

Some Junk ppl!

2008-12-01T13:18:00.002+05:30

Hi ,

Life is all about meeting new ppl, interacting with them. Few ppl leave a long lasting impression on you .. Positively/Negetively. Few ppl think that u are not so good or u do only wrong things and crib about you.. but few really like u and accpet the things done by you. And later this initial interaction might make you some one as FRIEND. Yes so in some sense when ppl become too close to you and when u like them... a new Friendship starts.

No matter they are good or bad. you dont know about them in the inital phase and later you will definitly come to know about the person and so u can decide about him.

In my life i have met lots and lots of ppl and many of them are really nice ppl and they are so nice that they like what i do and what i speak. Also many a times there are ppl who think i am not so good or whatever blah blah.. so they tend to avoid me .. Thats perfectly fine for me :) after all you cant be good for every one or you cant be smart enough to handle all the ppl . you are living for yourself and not for others .....

But now to the title of this post. JUNK ppl. Very rarely met few ppl who are so stupid and pathetic when u look into their heart or brain. These are the ppl who lived with u for some time i mean they had some interactions with you in one or the other sense, but still they didnt understood you. But even after that instead of being normal they tend to act like as if they know you and they enact that they are very nice to you ...

But meanwhile they actually hate you from inside the heart. Which means all the good things they said towards you are just for the SAKE. and infact they dont like you [ but its ok i dont expect ppl to be nice to me everytime] but.... when they dont like you why cant they say directly to you.... they just go and meet other ppl [may be your friends] .. and say all kind of bad things about you....

when u actually come to know about that person through other ppl its so cheap .... :| . So today i have come across one such entity of life [ i cant even call that person as PERSON because of so cheap menatlity] . Eventhough i know about this person's menatlity , i just greeted hi how are you and stuf... But that person didnt even bother to reply...

So why i am thinking so much about that idiotic behaviour..... ??? Even i dont know but somewhere you feel pity for them.. WTH the same person who acted like they know you and stuff... forgot everything and dont have the common sense of replying to your Hi BYE or whatever.....

Moral : Be Nice to ppl no matter they are good or bad. Try to be humble and try to atleast reply when they try to talk/chat with u... instead of being silent[where u have not gained anything].

UBUNTU 8.04 to 8.10 upgrade problem!!!!

2008-11-01T23:38:00.002+05:30

Hi ,

This post dedicated to all the ppl who are facing problems with the latest ubuntu update. I started using UBUNTU from past one month. The version which i downloaded was 8.04. I installed it using a CD . For the first time in my life, all my hardware devices worked for me without any problem. The moment i installed ubuntu, i was like..... Awesome man... ohhhh aaaaaaaaaaah stuff. Sound ,Video, X , Ethernet, Internet everything works. UBUNTU ppl have nailed linux Desktop :).

Now recenltly i tried to upgrade to 8.10 version. Upgrade went smoothly.But once i restarted the machine after upgrade. The user interface Hangs, fortunately my Failsafe Gnome option worked well for me. Through which i was able to browse the net for help. After one hour searching and trying 2-3 alternatives , in one of the forums i found that , During login you need to specifically choose the GNOME option, and this worked for me as well. ( Eventhough your default option was GNOME before upgrade ]

I thought of posting this. By default the option to login will be in Running X Script option . So change it to GNOME and hopefullly if you dont have any other issues, you can easily login and use the latest version of UBUNTU.

---- UBUNTU ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Windows REFRESH syndrome!!!!

2008-10-26T10:45:00.003+05:30

Hi ,

Recently i was waiting for one of the movie torrents to finish off. So i was not browsing anything or not even reading anything on my desktop. I suddenly noticed that i was doing something on my desktop, In fact without my notice my right hand used to right-click and press refresh on the desktop. I was surprised, by this action. This is the most common behavior of all [at least most of them] to press refresh menu repeatedly when they dont have anything to do.

According to me, this is a syndrome. Its a general misconception that by pressing refresh menu you can boostup or speedup machine. According to my technical knowledge pressing refresh will refresh the screen or infact it redraws the screen and windows on the desktop. Apart from these things i dont see any connection to refresh the system memory or ram cleanup or something of that sort. But this general misconception has made ppl mad behind this refresh menu. Apart from StatMenu button , probably this refresh menu is the most used menu in windows environment till date i feel ;).

I am just trying to forget that there is a refresh menu on the desktop to come out of this syndrome. Also i am using UBUNTU majorly these days for my day to day activities which eventually prevents me from REFRESH syndrome.

If you also have REFRESH SYNDROME pls share your experiences , comment.

Google Chrome !!

2008-09-08T21:55:00.005+05:30

Hi all,

Its been almost 4-5 days of Google's new browser Chrome's release. I was also exited to use Google product, as i really like the way google works, a simple user interface, cool technology and features. I was really eager to download and use . At the first place i really like the way they have designed the user interface. Just using it for 20 mins , I uninstalled Firefox which was my favorite browser. Everything went smooth for 2 days. I read the google book about how chrome is designed and how efficient it is in terms of handling the browser crashes. But somehow after i used it for few times i started facing problems, Yes the browser won't crash. But it hangs!!! ;) .

My very first observation was , I wanted to view the video of google developers explaining about google chrome. When i moved the mouse over the video , the video freezed for 2-3 seconds, I was initially surprized and then i moved the cursor once again to get the same results. Then i started experimenting it, I try to browser youtube, but i could not reproduce the issue. Then i thought the probelm exists when u embed a youtube video.

I usually watch a lot of video's , some times 3GP content , Instead of downloading i use QuickTime player which plays the content inside the browser itself. Initially it worked fine but i have seen many a times the browser hangs..

And whenever i have seen this hanging browser it will not allow me to click other tabs as well. So i need to minimize it and then try my luck. Its quite stable as it never crashed . But its still needs to be tested . After all its a beta.

Few of my friends were not able to use it as after installation somehow they are not able to browse the net. Also Few of my friends are not installing it as its not having features like Ad-block or no - script.

Even sometimes , when u scoll the gmail window. The chat windows behave crazy. So after facing all these problems. I just thought i will wait till google fixes all these bugs. So one again i had to install Firefox.

I really appreciate the effort to introduce new technology. Atleast its not that worth to use it unless you really want to use Google product. I liked the User Interface, Minimal UI approach. Even the browsing speed was excellent . But Nothing infront of "Hang" bug.

Thats what i thought about Chrome. :) Firefox rocks ;) . If you have faced any issues pls comment and share.

Phoonk Rocks!!!

2008-08-25T00:02:00.006+05:30

Hi All,
I saw Ram Gopal Verma's Phoonk , Its a thriller/horror movie. I saw the movie in a theatre near my house named Kamakya , It was a second show. I wanted to watch this movie on the first day of its release but somehow i could not find any company. But when i was just lying on bed on Sunday at 8:30 , I just got a weired idea of watching "Phoonk" in kamakya theatre. I went alone for the movie.

I really like scary/horror/thriller movies. This one was a treat for me as its been a long time I saw any of such kind movies. The last movie which i saw in theatre was "The Happening" I just felt scared only one time in the movie. And there was nothing to make u feel scared, in the movie. But this one is amazing experience. First of all nice Background score, The movie is hit only because of this. You cant deny the story, but for Indian's the story is very old. The concept of Black magic is narrated very simple manner.

I like horror movies if they don't contain dirty faces , or masks. I still remember "Zee Horror show" by Sham/Tulsi Ramsey. All they used to do is to shoot in a grave yard with dirty faces plus special sounds. My all time favorite movie in horror category is "The Sixth Sense" . It was a great example for a thriller movie. and also a best example to demonstrate how to scare ppl only with concept and sound effects.

Well coming to Phoonk . The story is very simple , its about Black magic done for the daughter of a Builder acted by Suddep [ Kannada Actor] , and how they get rid of this thing. Sudeep has really acted nicely , also proved the reason why Ramu chose him for the script.

Well that's all i can say , Don't miss this movie and try to watch it in big screen . You can easily get scared. It was a" paisa wasool" movie. I just payed Rs 60 for the movie ticket. and Phoonk is really worth a watch. Even after coming out of theatre my heart was beating twice its speed. I really got scared for 4-5 scenes which was a delight for me . I really enjoyed this one. :) good break from usual routine.

My Rating : 4/5 [ I wanted to give 5 but , there exists one scene where they show growing hands of a grand mother which was just funny ]

3 Years in Software Industry !!!! Phew.... ;)

2008-08-17T13:38:00.002+05:30

Hi ,
I complete 3 years in Software Industry, On August 22nd 2005 was the day i Joined my first company. Even after these 3 years i still miss my college days, friends and fun. It was not a easy journy through these years, The first year was really tough finding out what kind of work i like. Its always the fact that what i like i could not get to work. I was the junior most in my team. So obviously used to miss friends. 2nd year was awesome as we were aquired by some big company got lots of friends and work wise no improvement , but i had nice time i enjoyed a lot played lots of carrom. Soon the fun went away as i left that job and joined a startup ... At that point of time i realized, its not just only good work which keeps you happy. In this company no fun only work all the 365 days. In my previous company i used to crib that i dont have any work or good work. In the present company i started cribbing as i had not much fun. Later realised that we wont get what we want. now in this 3rd year i have adjusted myself to this environment. So things are going fine.

Some wonderful memories. during these 3 years.
1. I was working on linux for the first year.
2. I met some good ppl ... Shreesh,Shande,Harish,Rolls, div/sug/ many more ... had nice time.
3. Phooljhadi .
4. Had been to Korea.
5. Few things i cant tell actually ;)

Thats all for this post.

I Hate......

2008-07-29T22:22:00.003+05:30

Hi ,
After a long time one post.....

Usual day at office and I am trying to explain something to my colleague .. some piece of code to the newcomer. The moment i am trying to tell the sequence of function calls... Mr. X opens a notepad and starts typing something.... i was like... oh! boy ... Fine some ppl have the habit of noting down all the things on paper ... Then after some time i saw him debugging some code .. where i wanted to change the argument of a function call... since the keyboard and mouse were nearby i was about to type ... and sudeenly mr X makes a dirty face and grabs mouse from my hand and says... What are you doing... wait... he firsts copies the line and paste's it back and comments it out... and says .. see this is the way...... I was like **** **** *** .

I dont understand this idiotic behaviour... i agree sometimes u are new to something.. u make a note of it... or take a backup... but just for one single line.. if u are thinking of taking a backup ... u better be at home with hunderets of .txt files or carbon sheets or whatever....

I HATE :
1. Some one grabbing mouse.
2. Someone not allowing me to speak.
3. Someone ignoring me ...

- Thats all for this post...

Happy shivarathri :)

2008-03-05T20:53:00.000+05:30

Hi ,
I wish u all a happy shivarathri :) May the lord shiva make all your dreams come true. Today is shivarathri a very special day. As the name suggests Shiva rathri is more famous for "Jagarane" , which means not sleeping whole night and praying shiva.

Shivarathri has always been a special festival at home. Now regarding jagarane i have some nice moments till date, thought of sharing them one by one....

As i dig through my memory ... when i was kid , i used to say to mom , with full josh that "this time i am going to do jagarane , so please dont force me to sleep ok". mom used to reply "let me see how long it goes ". and i used to think big deal one day i can easily skip sleeping.... now after dinner the next program is to sleep, since i have already declared about my jagarane, i was thinking what to do.. ok let me watch the movie. In those days Doordarshan was the only tv channel, and they used to play a devotional movie only after 1AM. So i used to wait for that, but i was never successful and used to sleep either just before the movie, or used to sleep after watching the initial titles of the movie, the next morning mom and dad used to tease me for not doing jagarane.

Then came an era where we friends used to discuss among ourselves the plan for jagarane. I think it was 8th standard , we decided to do jagarane at chummy's house. With all josh we entered sumanth's house played cricket / badminton under lights . and then what?? At 12 o clock sumanth's mother gave us payasam, and within half an hour ,all of us were in deep sleep. the next day sumanth' mother asked ... "aha aha jagarane anthe jagarane 12 o clock ella nidde..."
.... thats it same thing again happened in 9th standard , in chummy's house me and raghu , only difference is like i slept at 1'o clock. That day i was thinking simply to sleep i came here che....

But the most memorable shivarathri was when i was in 10th standard. This time it was just me and sumanth. It was just study holidays and we were having exams next to next week of shivarathri. I had firmly decided that i should do jagarane at any cost. And i had decided that i will read Biology subject completely whole night. so we started at 10 o clock and sumanth told me" seena plz just 2 mins i will get up my eyes are burning but i am sure i will get up after 2 mins" , thats it after half an hour i tried to wake him up but i could not . But since i had decided to read I went on and on and on and on... not even a single time i felt like sleeping . that too after sumanth slept i had wonderful concentration and i finished chapter by chapter . And exactly at 6 o clock in the morning , i turned the last page of biology book , sumanth's mom came and opened the door and she was shocked at the sight, and asked you were awake whole night, and i told her yes aunty I was so happy at that time , i was feeling like i had won a battle. i got up and went to my home and thats it.... jagarane was successul..... :)

I had read that subject so well that i never bothered to revise the day before exam. Poor chap chummy was in trouble as i was the one who used to plan the study time table there was not even a single day allocated for biology , somehow he managed to read by himself [sorry sumanth ;)].

Thats it till date , i never got that much determination to do jagarane. All my attempts to do jagarane just went unsuccessful. Many a times i had plannned for watching movies, tv, net ... once even tried learning c#/.net . but i could not do any of them.

Now today is shivarathri , and i have decided this time i will surely do jagarane. ITs 10:23 PM and i am still writing this lengthy post.... the next program is to visit Temple nearby [as it will be very less crowded ] . This time my jagarane program starts at 11:00 PM . Have something in mind . Let me see how far it goes.... I hope i will be successful this time atleast :) will tell you in my next post.

May all your dreams come true. Try celebrating shivarathri :)

PS: this time also when mom heard that i am going to do nightout she was like ... aha aha nodona antha.... I hope i will be successful this time.

Hi there, me back with some junk [as usual]. Just have a look at the photo attached, yes its the same which we see daily and try to ignore, one fine day since i was stuck at some signal, I used my 6300 to take this one specially for this post.

Now whats wrong with these ppl, I have been thinking about this post or rather about this issue from past 3 months, never got time to write and i feel today its the right time. Daily on the road side we see such kind of vinyl banners, containing some 30 + photos embedded using photo shop spoiling the beauty of the city. You can see such photos every where , nowadays there is no reason left for them to affix all of their photos and just place it where ever they want.

The above photo is kept wishing birthday of some idiot, and his fan following. I have seen such kind of vinyl boardings just containing some 40+ photos and all of them placed tightly in a single frame. The reason for keeping such kind of boardings is as pathetic as the frame itself, some of the examples are wishing birthday, or wishing for the completion of one year in the party, or some group of idiots doing some poooja or some ppl for distribution of cloths to poor ppl.

The reason might be noble one , but my question is why do we need such big posters and that too containing so may photos. If you are trying to wish some one why cant you do it personally or even if you want to celebrate go and distribute sweet or whatever to poor ppl , but why to spend some thousands of money to spoil the nature. It looks so ugly and these posters lie there for months together even thought the occasion lasts for one day.

I have seen hell lot such boardings and every time i see them , i feel very much angry and my blood boils . Why the hell should i watch a big boarding containing photos of hundreds of idiots of different sizes and shapes, and that too at traffic signals, Nowadays I have controlled my anger as i cant do anything about , so thought i will crib here and i am done with it. If you are one among those hundred parties or group of ppl celebrating birthday of someone please try avoiding such a nonsense activity of placing a big vinyl banner with so many photos . Please we can do lot of things rather than wasting money on this and spoiling nature. :)

PS: All my anger got decreased even i was feeling happy when i was painting black on the faces :) . I pity the graphic designer who does this daily as a part of his job. poor chap .

The Hidden Talent!!!

2008-01-08T09:23:00.001+05:30

Hi All,
Due to technical reasons[unavailability of clips] "Simple things" post have been postponed to tomorrow ... That was supposed to be the first blog for this year:( . So First of all I wish all of you Happy new year :) 2008. It already 8 days over in 2008 , as usual i am lazy ... ;)

Now straight into the topic .My hidden talent... yes , if you have never met me or talk to me over phone then u are not aware of one deadly talent of mine.. yes its deadly.... that is Music . I love music. Yes somewhere in my mind i think i am a good singer or musician [ thats actually the major culprit "I THINK" but "I am not " ] So want to share some funny experiences with ppl .

If i just think about flash back.... my memory tells me that "LALI LALI" song from swathi muthyam is the first ever song which i appreciated a lot .Its a lullaby and a Telugu Song. I think when i was in Play home i used to sing this song by myself, later i realized that i love songs i like music , so used to hammmm which ever song i come across, those were the days where the whole family used to watch Telugu movies and i used to learn all songs .. atleast the first few lines and just sing aloud....

Now after few years, i started liking music a lot so used to listen all kinds of music and learn whichever i used to like . So things were going smoothly till i joined high school and college, till that time i used to sing only in competitions and at home , so nobody had any problems with me.

Once i joined college , i got the freedom of singing anytime , anywhere . Good thing was our college had big rooms , i used to get echo effects if i sing aloud, i used to enjoy that and somehow forgot that ppl are around , so started singing... Since then i dont have any stop for my singing . Everyday everywhere , i started singing. It went on to a stage where ppl used to beg "seena pls stop singing" ;) ;) but still i never used to listen to anyone .

I remember once our HOD told me "Srinivas we will recognize your voice even if u are around 20 meterss away from us" ;) . I never knew weather its a compliment or a comment ;) I took it as compliment and used to sing even when ever i was passing their rooms :) .

During exams , there are few instances where ppl have asked me to go out because i sing while reading . :) I always have different kinds differenst sets of songs for the particular situations. The song comes out of me depending on the moood. So u can make a blind guess of 'state of my mind' by the song which i am singing.

In my previous company there was a poor person who is bugged of my songs . Daily morning i used to sing "Subha subha " and "Door jithna bhi tum mujhse paas tere mein "from JAL. Daily some 30 -40 times. She even asked me plesase Srinivas please stop it. Ever since i came to know she hates my songs. I had doubled my count and sang the same song .... ;) ;) ;)

I have even got some nick names .. like "Seena nigam " "Seenumiya" ,Thanks to vineeth for the names ;)

Ok now time for some confession. For all those guys who got disturbed of my songs during their exams .... and all those who got disturbed during their work , please dont feel bad. Its just in order to keep things coool was singing . I never had any intension of disturbing you .... :) thats it.

So "yeah sil silaa chaltha rahega" ... I keep continuing my this talent. Right now my inspiration for music is Mr. Mono mooorthy of "Mungaru male" movie. After 30 yrs of exp in Software Industry now he is pursuing his interest in music.

Even I will come back one day with some wonderful music [ i think so ;)] . So you guys can expect a movie after 25 yrs...... may be named "Mungaru Kole/KALE" and I will be the music director , there will be slight change in my name . it will be "Stereo" moorty :)

Thats all for now , catch you with next post

Somari on Independence Day!

2007-08-15T19:23:00.001+05:30

Hi All,
Yes its the same old Somari ... Seena , back with this post. First of all I wish everyone Happy Independence day...:)

This is the day we got Independence from British 60 years ago :) . I got up around 10:00 AM today and switched on TV to watch some wonderful patriotic songs , and was just thinking how come i am not able to even feel its Independence Day... :( yes , I could not see any celebrations near my home . Then I finished my daily morning routine and just took out News paper , found nothing interesting . Thought will watch TV for some more time , as usual found some junk in most of the TV channels. Thought I will switch on PC , but my laziness stopped me from doing that also, Then was thinking how it used to be on Independence day when we were in School. aaaah.... some old wonderful memories came across my eyes.. with 15 fps speed on VGA resolution....

I studied at Sarvodaya school Shimoga , Our School is situated just next to Nehru Stadium, where Independence day celebrations were usually held. I still remember we used to feel Independence Day celebrations from 1st August itself, Since the celebrations are held at Nehru stadium , students from almost all schools used to come to Nehru stadium for practising the drill and dance and other cultural events. Being situated very next to Nehru stadium , we used to get the opportunity to watch all the dance/drill/ etc practises before they were actually performed on Independence day. Even we used to practise all of them as our school used to participate every Year.

On Independence day we used to go to school with washed cloths and with cleanly polished shoes to perform in Nehru Stadium, It was really wonderful nice feeling that we are doing something really great that everyone are looking at us , clapping @ our drill dance. That was real joy.

But today if I look @ myself, how lazy I am , doing nothing on Independence day. Being Lazy ,not even going out anywhere . In front of TV and PC same old Gmail/ Gtalk.... I am really missing those old Golden days.....

Finally i got some mood for this one !!

2007-05-16T23:30:00.000+05:30

Hi all,

Once again I proved that in my blog if i name a post as Part I , I will make sure that the next part wont appear here . :) I dont think i will be able to write Final Count down Part II as its really very late to go back to Part I feeling and continue that. ... :) Thanks to Shreesh , Harish Shande , SkI , Rolls and Dons and Scissors and others for making my stay in my old company a memorable one.

Now today after a long time Sandesh had updated his blog so read that one . Chetan has converted his blog into a photoblog. When i went to Shande's blog i saw a link to my blog, then i realized i used to crib about some or the other thing here. Yes this time i am not particular about any topic, so its a general drill !!!

Its been around 1.5 months I quit my job and joined a new one. Initially it took a while to adjust to new environment as i got used for "doing nothing from morning to evening " style of living.
I usually crib about something or the otherthing , it became a habit. Whenever i see anything new, First thing which my mind does is to find whats not there... When i was in my previous job I used to feel sad about not having anywork ... When i was in college i used to crib "when will this thing get over ...when am i going to join a SW company and earn thousands ..."

I think its a nature of human beings to search for things which will not be available in that environment... there is a famous quote in kannada "Iruvudellava Bittu Iradudaredege thudivude Jeevana " - I dont want to translate this to English and spoil the meaning.. Ppl can try their creativity by posting comments.

Nowadays few good things are I am getting up late, I go to office by my HondaActiva, I bought a new mobile Nokia 6300 :) I take tiffin to office, I can listen to songs on the way to office, Daily i drink Cane juice near office in the morning, Every weekend I meet my Friends , watch some crappy movies and think "i should stop wathing movies" and repeat the mistake... found some new nice friends whom i irritate daily .. started thinking that its just how we take things not how things happen... etc etc etc ... I think something wrong with me writing things in a higly boring and nonsense manner........ Before you guys call me up and ask what the hell man.... I will logoff.. next post will be on the movie which i saw 2 weeks back... Soundarya , on special request from Chetan.... :) Chetan keep wating...

Bye for now...... !

Final Count Down!!! Part 1:

2007-03-19T10:06:00.000+05:30

Hi All,

Finally i made the decision to move out of this company, It was my first job. I have resigned and counting days for my exit(0);

I had many wonderful times in this company along with some tough ones as well. I really had many ups and downs ... Especially towards the kind of work which i was expecting and the work which i got. When i freshly joined the company i never had much expectations as I never knew things about how a Software Comapny works. So I had very nice time during those days. Whatever was assigned to me I used to do without even thinking weather its gud or bad. [ There exists nothing like "gud" or "bad" It all depends on what you think is gud for you or bad for you].

Real problems started once i started realizing that there are lot of wonderful things around me which even i can give a try instead of the work which i was doing from around > 6 months. Which means that i almost finished learning phase of the work which was given to me. So from that time i started thinking that i should do , some thing different than what i was doing .

The feeling of 'doing something different' kept me under stress . Every minute, every second I used to think how to get out of what i was doing, More over by this time I never had any work related to what i was doing. So I used to think that i will be given something different........... I was in this "stress mode" for quite sometime, where i started doing some other acivities like playing carrom, listening to songs, Blogging, ... I dont remember how many carrom games i played in this mode.....

There came a ray of hope for changing the 'kind of work' , With major doubts in mind weather to join different group ? or to stay in the same group... ? I took a decision to move out of what i was doing .... Work wise the next option was a bit better than what i was doing.....

But once i joined the new group I realized that the new group is quite different from the previous one... I felt more strain thinking that why i did this.... I could have stayed in the previous one .. for some more time.... etc etc..

Meanwhile the next work started with wonderful work which actually release my stress as it was quite different from the previous one.. also challenging.. @ that time i was thinking i was so lucky ... i was so happy.... etc etc.. It lasted only for 2 weeks and i was given something which i never liked........

My nature is I wont do what i Dont like . With this attitude.. I had really tough time with the new things which were assigned to me.... I never used to bother what was given to me... but continued to think how to get rid of this..... This was the worst span... where i lost interest in everything... I totally changed myself...into some other person..whom i never liked till date.......

The best part of this phase is i found lot of Friends.... Because of them i really enjoyed my stay here in this new group... It was wonderful experience, as most of them never had any work like me.. It provided lot of time and opportunity to interact. I started liking what i was 'not doing' ...[ i cant say what i was doing .. as i never had anything to do..... as i never liked what will be given to me as well.....]

somehow I loved this phase and finally thought i will become something different than what i should be... so made up my mind to quit the comapny itself...inorder to accomplish my dreams.... Even i am not sure about how i will find my new job... But I am not expecting anything as its always better to do what you get... ............ :)

- Some of the best people whom i have interacted here in this team .......

Harish : A Wonder'foool' person with extraordinary talents towards 'remixing' and Kannada and mathematics. He is a person who can make his surroundings the way he thinks... He really loves to enjoy life.. He can crack jokes and make fun of some of the silliest things on earth. You cant imagine being a software professional for around 3 yrs.. he still thinks in terms of kids... While playing carrom he plays with the confidence levels of others, he belives in all those blind beliefs.... sometimes in this process he lost his self confidence as well..... I got irritated by Harish on 2 - 3 occassions where i shouted @ him , but finally realized what he is doing is for fun... and started enjoying.

Shande: A descent honest character with special interest towards handwriting analysis and blogging. He is a movie buff. Its very difficult to explain shande in words as you require one more blog to describe his things. If you tell any secret to shande it remains with him forever and i am sure he will never tell this to himself.... we had lot of discussions on Handwriting analysis, networking, the work which we used to do , Music. etc etc during our way to Sigma. But its very difficult to cope up with shande as he asks maximum questions which are higly irritating... you ask him anything and he will be having a counter question towards you. For eg:

Seena: Shande from how long you are wearing spectacles.?
shande: This one [pointing towards his spectacles]
Seena: Yes
Shande: this i got it 3 months ago.
Seena: No no i am asking about when you started wearing spectacles not the one which you are wearing now...
Shande: oh adha... gothtilla.... eno ondhu.....
[ At the end of the conversation you realize that you never got the answer for the question you asked to him].
We had a nice timepass interacting with shande....

- Ok thats all for this post there are some more ppl whom you will find in my next post..

ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಗೆಳೆಯರೆ,
ಇಂದು ಆಕಸ್ಮಿಕವಾಗಿ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಅನಿಸಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋಣವೆಂದು ಅನಿಸಿತು,ಅದರ ಪರಿಣಾಮವೇ ಈ ಸಂಚಿಕೆ. ಹಲವಾರು ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಗಳನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಠಿಮಾಡಿ ಅದರ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಒಂದೆರಡು ತಿಂಗಳುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಗಿಸುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಹವ್ಯಾಸ. ಯಾವುದೋ ಒಂದು JOSH ನಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕ ವಿಷಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ create ಮಾಡಿ ನಂತರ ಆ ವಿಷಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡು ಅದರ ಕಥೆಯನ್ನು ಅಲ್ಲಿಗೇ ಮುಗಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಈಗಾಗಲೇ ನಾನು ಹಲವಾರು domain names ಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಳು ಮಾಡಿರುವೆ. ಈಗ ಕನ್ನಡಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ಮತ್ತೆ ಹೊಸ ಬ್ಲಾಗ್ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸುವ ದುರಾಲೋಚನೆ ನನ್ನ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ಹೊಳೆದಿದೆ. ಸದ್ಯದಲ್ಲೇ ನನ್ನ ಹೊಸ ಕನ್ನಡ blog ಬರಲಿದೆ. ನಿರೀಕ್ಷಿಸಿ.

Ella ok "Outsiders" Yaake!

2007-02-06T22:53:00.002+05:30

Hi all,

Its been ages since i cribbed about anything here.... now i take this opportunity to crib about Kannada Music Industry. Yes its the same place where you find Sunidhi Chauhan,Udit Narayan, Sonu Nigam. Hariharan and most deadliest Kunal Ganjawala singing with special audio effects. Puzzled .... Yes now they are the core members of Kannda Film music... singing majority of the songs in Kannada.

Its not the case with only Kannada film Industry,It is the same with most of the south Indian Languages. I dont understand the major reason behind inviting the singer, who doesnt even know few words of Kannada when they take up their first song.

UditNarayan is the major culprit who has contributed majorly to south Indian Film Industry [For Music] for the past 3-4 years.

I am not blaming those Singers ,After all they are doing great job of contributing their voice throught India. But I am blaming those Idiots who hire such ppl[those who dont know that Regional Language] for their movies.

If you pick any album of recent movies , you can easily find one or two songs of Udit Narayan, or Kunal Ganjawala.

Any person,needs some time to understand new Language. Especially when these singers are invited for 1-2 songs ,they dont get much time to learn the language, so someone has to write the song in their[singer's] language or English.So here starts the problem of "lossy" conversion.

Each and every language has got its own set of words and most of the words depend on the peopl's proununciation. When these singers are ready to compile the song , It is obvious that they make mistakes. So the people who are assisting them has to take care . In most of the cases these care-takers are directors or assistant music directors , who will be concentrating more on music than lyrics[ofcourse they give importance but major priority will be on music] so there comes the problem of lossy conversion....

So we can hear lot of mistakes done by these imported singers ,which irritate a lot if you are true lover of music and especially Lyrics. Sometimes evnthough they correctly pronounce the song, they dont know where to strech or give importance , so obviously it wont sound like the way we expect to hear..... so this is another form of pollution...

Thats why i ask why to import ?
The music directors or movie producers demand for this import business for the following simple reason.... They want to use the popularity of the singer????? so silly.

We often find Music talents in some talent search shows like "Ede tumbi Haaduvenu " [ETV Kannada]. Why cant we use them instead of importing those non-Kannadiga's.

Nowadays even the quality of the lyrics is also coming down... God knows when we will get to hear pure Kannada songs in Kannada voice and music.

Here is some list of most popular songs by singers from North.
1. "MTV subbulakshmige" [ Movie: Upendra. Singer: One and only UditNarayan [with his nasal voice].
2. "Usire Usire" [ Movie: Huchcha Singer: Sonu Nigarm [Spoilt the song with his Extra effects] . Since this song was intially compiled by him, its been taken out and Rajesh Krishnan again gave his voice inorder to give naturality which was spoiled by Sonu Nigam. [Director finally realized this fact.
3. "Kunidhu kunidhu baare " - once again Udit Narayan for Mungaru Male.
4. "Neene Neene" from movie Aakash by Mr. Kunal Ganjawala.

list goes on....

I personally feel even the singers should take some time in learning the Language or they should avoid singing if they dont know that language. Music Directors should give opportunities to regional singers , which saves them huge amount of money .

feel free to post comments. ..
will catch you soon.

Back with Dhoom 2 !!!

2006-12-03T17:57:00.000+05:30

Hi All ,

Finally i am back with this post!!! From past two months i was not able to post anything here. I used to think "i will write some topic!", but all josh used to come down once i start typing about that topic. I still have 5 drafts lying @ my dashboard.

So many things happened during these 2 months. I saw many crappy movies. I got rid of the dangerous , deadly , higly irritating disease "chicken guinea"... Finally i said good-bye to that mosquito which brought me this disease. Thank god and thanks to Ramakrishna hospital doctor who gave one smart injection which prevented this disease from my body.

Now back to my post title. Dhoom 2. I saw this crappy movie on friday with Shande,Ande ,Chetan and 2 other friends of Shande. Shande and myself were planning to watch the movie in the first week of its release. unfortunately[fortunately] shande was not there to get tickets from Urvashi. Dhoom 2 is a typical bollywood movie with worst script or even i can say the most used script of bollywood, where silly things happen in a very silly manner.

Myself and chetan were laughing at many scenes as if we were watching a comedy movie. Most of the scenes of Dhoom2 are of "bhakwas" nature. I dont understand why ppl [directors producers] spend crores of rupees on special effects/foreign locations with a very dull script. When you are spending crores of rupees.. dont you have a simple common sense that script should be good ?

In this movie i felt there was no need of Bipasha Basu! She is there only to strip and show her cleavage! Aishwarya Rai looks great with Indian traditional dresses than those idiotic Tomb Raider dressess. Abhishek Bachchan once again proved that he doesnt even know the ABCD of dancing.

Now Hrithik Roshan. In dhoom 2 Hrithik roshan is a genius ,Geeky , theif. He knew everything under the Sun. He is actually "Einstein" . So silly!!!

ok Thats enough. I dont want to discuss anything more about the movie. It was just another junk. But nothing can beat "JaaaneMan".
Here is a list of idiotic crappy movies i saw !

1. Jaaneman [Worst movie i have ever seen after "Bewafaa" ]
2. Chellata [Kannada - I came out before the climax as i could not resist myself from irritation ]
3. Hubballi [ Kannada - Waste one with many things directly taken from Bourne identity ]
4. Aishwarya [Kannada - Ultra junk .. Its actually mix of two movies i.e Main script lifted from Manmathudhu of Telugu movie. and some parts from Tamil Gajini]

Ok thats all for this post. Will be back sooon!

P.S : After a long time i am writing here. So the flow was not at all good. It will take some time to get back to rhytham.!!!!
