Chenda Melam @ Forum

As a part of Diwali celebration there was "Chenda Melam" by a group in Mavelikara. It rocked!!!

Day without computers...

Once in a while I have sat back to think what would life be without computers. I know that I should never evne dream of such a think working at HP but still liberty of thought you see. I dream of the umpteen oppurtunoties created in the "Computer Free World" where there will be more man labour, there will thus be more employment, thus better living standards and so forth.

Whenever I fantasised this would happen I really never wished the tooth fairy would make my dream come true atleast limited to me. My system at office crashed and that due to a roaming virus!!! Can you imagine at office , so much data at stake, there pops up a devil virus. Amd there began my saga of reformatting the computer, setting up the everything from scratch and there goes a day! It shattered all my wishes. I freaked out thinking of all that data I could have lost, those photos that hold memories, those important mails...

And now here I am with my computer looking all fresh. I don't have my old wallpapers thus the feel of this system seems alien. I feel as if I have just entered a new home. I guess it'll take time to get adjusted!!

Random thoughts

Sometimes you find yourselves in such situations that you don't know what to do. You seem to have pros and cons on both sides. Even after your head does the rational thinking you are unable to make up your mind. For most Indians the heart rules your head. Occassionally I find myself at a point that my heart also does not choose any (not even secretly ;) )

I am really not sure what people do at that point of time. I am not the type who ask others for opinion and go ahead and do what they suggest. I just let time be and when the last moment of decision comes I just do what I feel at that point of time. Somehow I have come to know that this is what I have desired all along!!

Rock On

Hey I am promoting the movie....not just because the movie is good but also it reminds me of my blog- "Life Rocks", so "Rock On" guys!!!

Nokia to Motorola

Dear Friend,
I miss you so much.
I have had such a great time with you over the years.
I miss talking to you.
I miss holding you tight.
I miss playing with you.
I miss the times you would not respond to me.
I miss the times I bruised you when you fell.
I miss all the emotions attached to you.
I miss you my Nokia 3310.

Yes, finally it has happened. I have changed from my very first Nokia 3310. The battery died and I was given the option to either change the battery or go for a new one. I gave it a thought and it was a huge decision. This is the very first phone I bought with my money. I have shared a lot of emotions with this phone and also stood through all those envious eyes of people around when I said proudly that I have been using the same phone since 6 years!!

Now that it was time to change, I thought what the heck let me go for a complete change over. I bought a W270 Motorola with a 2GB expandable memory. It took me 3 days to shake off my comfort zone and accept my new companion. Now I am cool enjoying listening to the radio and music on the player and truly speaking that’s the only things I would do other than speak on my phone. Whatever, I’m loving it!!!

When the blasts rocked Bangalore!

It's Monday morning once again and today I am actually glad I am back at my desk in front of my comp. On Friday when I ran out of office, I had a blank mind. I don't remember if I shut down my PC, I don't remember if I saved my data...at that moment nothing mattered at all!!

It was probably 2.30pm on Friday afternoon when we were alerted of the bomb blasts. For a second I was numb. I tried to call home immediately coz I was sure they would panic as soon as the news gets flashed on all channels. As expected the lines were jammed. The news was around that the transport from office was cancelled.

The next thought was not to stay in Electronic City and reach home as early as possible. Ironically I stay in Tavarekere that is walking distance from the places the first blasts happened. But I had stayed long enough in the area to know how to get back without touching those areas. I joined the guys who were leaving to get a drop to the nearest place accessible by auto. I reached home within half an hour that day thanks to deserted roads ;)

There was this feeling of unrest throughout the day of which most of it was spent watching the news. I was surprised to see how life went back to normal in no time. In fact at hostel the night shift girls were picked up to go to office as early as 6pm that was hardly hours after the blasts. The next day all seemed to be calm except the reduced traffic on the roads. I went out to Banshankari and Forum that day.

When I saw that there were still people going to the PVR Cinemas, shopping at the Westside sale etc on Saturday I knew that it takes a lot to take the spirit of a Bangalorean out of him. this is the only way we can combat terrorism too. Stand as one voice against it and be brave. What has to happen will happen. But it should not happen while we succumb to terrorism in fear!!!
