Pot Luck not so lucky

noreply@blogger.com (Rahul) — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 20:06:00 +0000

There is this thing about US people who host parties don't essentially Make all the dishes, instead all the people attending the party get one and people here call this Potluck.On Saturday was the first official part hosted by VISA (the Indian students association of Villanova) the potluck at B43.As my cooking turn was on Saturday I had to do the honour of cooking for representation from our room and I've decided to cook veg biryani which ended up to be half cooked and indisputably won the worst dish award.Even though pot luck proved unlucky with my super flop dish it was fun and thanks to some good cooks from other room we had delicious gobi Manchuria,aloo chat(Which one the best dish),Chicken Liver fry,and Veg fried rice.After the wonderful dinner the fun continued till late night with dumb Charades,truth or dare and poker (yes i learned poker, as they say what is the fun in being in US with out playing poker).

Dumb charades time

I’ve been there at the Hyderabad 10k run. This is my first time and loved it.And the best part of it is that I completed the whole 10K, though it took me 1 hour 50 mins I’m happy about completing it. The event started off with some entertainment at the People’s plaza and with Victory Venkatesh unveiling the logo and flagging off the run.Loads of people participated and finished the run including some handicapped people, small children.And there were lots of corporate groups like Google,Microsoft, Infosys etc too.There were bands performing all through out the course which made the whole event much more fun.

This ad got him award:

This makes me feel nostalgic:

This one has to be from Rehman. The Mozart of Madras experimenting with the original Mozart's music.

Rehnam concert in hyderabad

noreply@blogger.com (Rahul) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:17:00 +0000

Great news Rajiv Gandhi international airport in Hyderabad is organizing a concert by AR Rehman as part of first anniversary celebrations.This is perhaps the first time first Rehman is performing in Hyderabad .I'm simply excited and desperate to attend a Rehman concert as it has been a dream.So wish to be there as I may leave India as early as next month I don't wanna let this chance go .Now the sad part is I can get a 1000Rs ticket at max and might end up miles away from stage.And letting my dreams run wild I wish someone gives me a 25000Rs pass. Tickets are available from the Hyd airport website and also from bookmyshow.com

Ms in US of A

noreply@blogger.com (Rahul) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:34:00 +0000

My parents and me were very clear about my career long since i remember. The plan was that I will do my bachelors in engineering and Ms from US and finally become a software engineer (what ever that means.I failed to decipher what that means even though I'm working in a Software company as Trainee).My life was full of obvious decisions, after passing from school, my stream for inter was pretty clear (MPC what else you need to become an engineer) and as for the bachelors engineering degree(Btech) part I did finish my bachelors in Engg in computer science. Every thing went according to the plan till Engg except that i was supposed to do my Btech from IIT’s but ended up finishing it in Holy Mary Institute of technology and science.Then the next step has to be Ms in Us but then came fear that threatened my beautifully planned career, the fear that i might not return to India after my masters, this fear led to some decisions that did not work - my Gate attempt (must have been a half hatred attempt).But now after retrospection, introspection,circumspection I again decided to go ahead with my original plan. Go ahead for MS in US but along with this I take up a new challenge, the challenge of coming back to India even though not immediately after Ms but definitely after some time from the comfort of USA which held back 90% of Indian who went there.At least this post should work as remainder for me when i think(heavens forbid) of settling down in US.

Voice chat missing in Yahoo messenger India

noreply@blogger.com (Rahul) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 20:39:00 +0000

Today when I tried using my yahoo messenger India to voice chart with a friend I found a surprising fact. The yahoo messenger India does not support voice chat, despite its good glossy look the Indian version of the messenger is missing a vital feature like voice chat which people are very used to ,but the international versions do support the good old voice chart.

Yahoo Messenger India

Yahoo messenger US with the voice chat

You will find this on the yahoo messenger India website

Well the solution for this is to get a yahoo messenger US. But before installing it be sure to remove the old messenger using Add and Remove programs from Control Panel and reboot your system.

Curious to know the reason for the absence.

View of Sunrise from Tiger hills- a sunrise point in Darjeeling

The view of sun rising from behind the hills and clouds, shining upon you full and bright when you stand staring into the skies is a great view.The first rays of sun light up the snow filled peak of Kanchenjunga giving it a beautiful silver hue.I had to wakeup 3 am in the morning as the sun rises as early as 4- 4:30 am in Darjeeling and it was worth it and more.

Amazing sentence !

noreply@blogger.com (Rahul) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 07:41:00 +0000

Just stumbled this on the net

“I do not know where family doctors acquired illegibly perplexing handwriting nevertheless, extraordinary pharmaceutical intellectuality counterbalancing indecipherability, transcendentalizes intercommunications incomprehensibleness”.

This is a sentence where the Nth word is N letters long.

e.g. 3rd word is 3 letters long, 8th word is 8 letters long and so on
