It was on my mind for quite a longtime. After serious thoughts for a week, finally made up my mind to submit a proposal a week before Valentine's day. I wasn't sure if it would turn out positive. No need to say the pressure you undergo waiting for something you longed for. Yep.....i got the positive response exactly on Valentine's day. I am really excited to introduce my sweet heart. Here you go - Click to find her...0

Read this first - Sandhya turns singer. I saw that particular program. Really, i thought the song is played from the movie. She gave here best that day. I had a wish that she sings a song in a film. You wish for something, hadn't shared that with anyone, neither had put any effort to make it true. When such a wish comes true, for sure you'll be in cloud nine as I am.

Indian cricket squad selection has seldom used right policies to select players. So it's not a great surprise to see them drop Dravid. I am great fan of Dravid. I myself felt that he needs a break. Probably he should have opted out for the last two matches against Australia. Dropping him and giving some stupid reasons is awful. Vengsarkar's interview sucks as badly as him. He should have known how to get the message across to the media. Rested, rotated, dropped, need to prove himself by playing Ranji, all these are the words used by him in different interviews in the last few days. Screw him, i say. Meanwhile, see how Dravid's fan has reacted. No protest, no effigy burning, as gentle as Dravid(Think of what happened when Ganguly was dropped.) Because, everyone knows, Dravid is a class act, even if he doesn't bounce back.0

Diffen is a site developed and launched by couple of my friends. Here is a brief intro about what Diffen is about (from their site) - "What is the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R? What is the difference between a pub and a bar? What is the difference between a Plasma TV and an LCD TV? Cal Tech and UCLA? Yankees and the Red Sox? Diffen can help you find (and write!) all these comparisons and more." Do visit the site for more interesting informations.0

One among today's headlines in The Hindu - Ensure bandh does not affect normal life. I wonder, how that could happen? I repeat, we live in a weird World.0

Read this first - Divorce through video-conferencing, at least the first paragraph. Did you notice this - "wife living in Australia and the husband in the U.S"? Why the f**k do they need a divorce?!??! What next? Marriage through video-conferencing?!?! Or has that happened already? We are living in a weird World, isn't it? I wish they soon find out a way to live in Mars, please.0

No need to say, it's been a lengthy gap from blogging. I am thinking of slowly getting back to blogging soon. But, things I missed blogging will always be missed - books, revisiting friends, relatives, Chennai life, movies, ever growing love with my MacBook. Sandilyan's Yavan Rani is one hell of a novel which makes you go mad if you didn't complete it at one go. It's simply amazing. Scott Adam's books are ultimate fun to read when starting the day. Few good movies are: Mozhi, Paruthiveeran, Unnale Unnale. And more importantly, i am in Portland for the last one month on a short business trip. Went to Seattle for couple of days. Lived the same life that I had enjoyed for around 28 months.0

As usual, accommodating to new environment takes time and sacrifices. Things I was completely aware are pollution, traffic, crowd, poor customer service. Only thing that took me by surprise was work environment. I am completely shocked to see such a bad atmosphere to work. First and foremost is the noise level. It is intolerable. I like the work place to be casual but with no noise. Next, lack of clarity on what to do. A developer is given all sorts of trouble, so that he doesn't complete his tasks. He is never said on what they are trying to accomplish as a whole. 200% true. People still see you with cunningness if you leave office by 6:30 P.M. Damn it, I come by 7:30 A.M. Most people start the day by noon. People misuse the term flexible work timings. Tasks are assigned on the fly. Might be there are some mistakes from my part also. But the crux is, the developer is not given enough freedom. Somehow i get the feeling that being process oriented means running a hurdles race than a regular one.
On personal front, you get surprises from all corners. You meet an old friend while waiting for a bus, in a restaurant, railway station etc., You feel elated when the maligai kadai annachi near by your home recognizes you. You feel happy in some corner of your heart, when you see the girl whom you remember for long still stays single ;-) If you don't have a mobile then people decide you are from Uganda. People make you feel uncomfortable by questioning about your age, marriage and all those nonsense. Not enough time and opportunity to spend on blogs and other tools. So far managed things as if swallowing a bitter pill. Don't know whether i am going to burst out or handle things with a smile.0Add a comment

After exactly 28 months, I am leaving from Seattle, returning to India. If I have to summarize the experience in a word – it is AWESOME. This post is to get my thoughts registered about my stay so far is Edmonds/Seattle/US. Looking back from the day I landed here there are numerous things I learnt, experienced, enjoyed. My ignorance had no bounds when I came here (still the same case though). Few things are – US is slightly bigger than India in terms of geographical area. Mercedes and BMW are same brands. There are only two time zones. I do not know what a blog is. The list goes on. Got the answers for these things now. Things I like about this place are: First is the weather. Man, Mother Nature blesses this place largely. If you think of rain, it starts raining. The breeze when I start to office is bliss. Food is the next thing I love. I tried different cuisines after coming here. Italian, Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, etc., all were good. As expected, work culture was good. All these factors made my stay here most peaceful part of my life. Most people feel that this place is most depressing because of gloomy skies. I also had those times but thank god, that did not last long. Though I struggled to get a driving license, the driving experience after that was pleasant. Visited few great places – Crater Lake, Leavenworth, HWY1 drive, tulip fests. The number of movies I watched here is greater than the total number of movies I saw in 25 years in India. Thanks to torrents, Online DVD rentals, Mayuri, Bharat bazar, live movies sites, free downloads. Most of them were craps, no doubt. Made some great friends, which I never thought would be possible after you come out of college life. I developed guts to do rafting, sand duning. I love the way they treat the customers. “Keep things simple” is the motto. Most people I met are clear communicators. I got opportunity to stay with different roomies during this period. Each one of them was interesting. I hope that they also find the same about me. Things I am going to miss – food places, ever smiling BOA tellers, the shuttle driver who learnt few Tamil words, the old Chinese lady who packs two veggie rolls whenever she sees me in her food stall, weekend trip to Redmond, hang out(?!) at Mayuri, lovely view of moon from my bedroom window, rain, rain and more rain.
I wrote this post couple of weeks back while in Frankfurt airport but somehow took this long to post.0Add a comment
