I wrote this crap when I was dating this chick from Shillong; she did care for me ..now a homemaker with two kids..I just thought I'ld scribble here so that some relationships are always remembered.
Thanks for a wonderful time Carol! See you in next birth..Muaaaah! ouch, I still make sounds..na na braces,...
How much I love you I can't say,
It's more than words can hold...
You're all at once my rich, red clay, My potter and my mold...
Yours the words that shaped my voice, The spirit within mine...
Yours the will that shaped my choice, My fortune, and my sign...
How lucky I was to have had you At the core of me!
Wise and good, you always knew Just what I could be?
And so I came to be someone Whom I could be proud of...
For this I give my swollen sum Of gratitude and love...

Suit up to kill chicks
Never thought I'd say this, but I am all grown up! Well the day has come, my friends. The day has come.
I've said it in this space before: Any man serious about the art of consistent romance needs to comprehend the following truism: Chicks love suits. Don't believe me? Visit any fine tailor or vendor of serious menswear and who do you find standing outside, all pressed up and panting against the glass? Chicks, that's who. Staring in, straining to catch a glimpse of your sophisticated virility. You know it, I know it, chicks know it, and finally your date knows it. Hopefully, technical writers know it too.

Count your chickens before you party!
(Readers note: The content reflects a 26 year old guy's mental trauma and has nothing to do with society at large. The writer is a well known potato in some industry,which are filled with people shouting and howling at each other; some profession pays for it.The reader is doing well presently and is on medication at large. Last seen at Opus. He has taken refuge for 2 years at the bar.
Alright first things first, take a bow before the lord almighty because what are you going to read at this section has nothing to do with God but everything to do with wordly things.
We all know Valentines Day's is an enormous, steaming pile of disappointment. A full year's worth of failed expectations and fizzled dreams wiped clear to make room for 365 more days of failed expectations and fizzled dreams.
This year? New strategy: party; I mean, parties are reflection of each individuals way of celebration. It is an occasion where he or she lets the world aware of their composition, hugging, dancing and communication skills and above all their all important DRINKING skills. Shucks! Raj, you gotta be kidding. "You aren't going to give gyaan on parties", screamed my colleague Neha. "You moron, I asked you thrice and all the time, you were out by the first dose", says Carol. Understandbly, this girls are correct. I mean I can't win against this 'Saturday Night Fever' and never make them understand.However, I will tip you on some secrets to party on a Valentines eve. (The comments do not reflect society as a whole but the mere status of Raj)
Total number of trips to the bathroom(monitored by toilet-flush count)
Number of Mallika Sherwat jokes attempted
Number of times you said "I love you' to her
Lots of Iodex, spill beans and cashew nuts
Guests to seat ratio (the floor does count)
Total beers consumed(bottle count)
Total attempts to hug and kiss (never allow sexual intimacy in house)Its a NO-NO for vegetarians!
No water in the house
Try to borrow the Moon for an evening; maybe, that's the last time you guys are viewing the moon together.
Flatter her/him with your comments (be honest sometimes)..Hey where's your friend Sharon, never seen her arms again? Stop kidding Raj, don't tell me you have a GF? she will run away for sure..well she did.. I swear..I did run like Tom Hanks did for Leonardo Di Caprio in Catch Me If You Can...if at any other level, I'ld have got India its first medal in 100 meters race.. anyway in my case, it was CATCH ME IF YOU HAVE MONEY...sorry, I don't have..that's one reason, girls don't date me after first evening.
Use some opening lines to strike to strangers. How about watching a female technical writer sipping coke and asking her "allow me to make it sweet"?...yaak! I know ....
Never force on her to drink. (Be a genteleman!) Haven't you read the great matrimonial guruji? He says "come one, come all! but never force anyone!)
Always drop her back home. Be a gentelman. You don't have a vehicle like me. Take it from your friend or if you wanna be a lil romantic,ask her if you can take her in your arms and drop her? Yaak, what's happening to you DUDE? I ain't carring a 65kg trolley.. But I do pay road tax?
all said and fine, guys have a great Valentines eve. Love and be loved, but most important ask yourself if you guys have all important but LOVE between each.

My take on GURU
Come Feb’ when Abhishek flaunts Aishwarya with a garland, we might just have a déjà vu. Mani Ratnam’s Guru is an epitome of Indian Cinema coming of ages, and I know Faran Akhtar and Ashutosh Gowarikher have seconded that. Mani Ratnam has done a fantastic job of bringing dreams to a middle-class household and asking one to reach for it. The only thing that he asks you is have confidence and a belief in yourself. It was that belief which made Rakesh Mehra made Rang De Basanti and it scored and certainly Guru is an icing on the cake. Gurukanth Desai (Abhishek Bachchan) runs helter-shelter in Istanbul selling petrol bumps neglecting his father’s advice to pursue higher education in the village. Guru grows up with prosperity and wealth often ballying with Mallika Sherawat but for a not a single moment he shields away from his dream- to make India marked in the global map. Rejecting a promotion he travels back to his village where his dad fancies his idea of starting a business. Guru confides with his friend Aryan Babar and marries Aishwarya for a dowry. Next is the episode of how Guru makes it to the global map, sets up his SHAKTI Empire, accusations and how he braves all this.
Though people are showering accolades on Abhishek Bachchan’s performance, realm is this guy was a prospect from the day1. He had a good start in Refugee but did some blunders in TERA JADOO CHAL GAYA and all..but what a character he has portrayed in GURU. Full marks to Mani Ratnam for utilizing the potentials of Abhishek as Lallan in YUVA and now as Guru. Mani has centered on Abhishek’s posture and his eyes in the movie. If akshaye kumar could be the nation’s hero for his delightful laughter in JAANEMAN, Gurukant desai’s smile too is matchable. Ash is pefect and matches well in her role. Mithun Da gives a power packed performance and added to that Madhavan’s fight with Abhishek. Vidya Balan does a good job and shares a great chemistry with Madhavan. If Dhoom pictured Hrithik-ash smooch, Vidya and Madhavan too had a spontaneous smooch. Full marks to the talented Rajiv Menon for brilliant camerawork. Rahman’s music is top-notch.
The movie will be remembered for Abhishek’s stupendous performances. His interactions with the people; the cunningness of the business trades he employs; his romantic liaison with Ash; softness for Vidya Balan; his break-up amidst the people and a delightful speech in the courtroom. Guru promises, delivers and ushers a season of hope for future entrepreneurs. It justifies that business is not a mushy path rather filled with thorns. But someone who believes that he can bed both roses and thorns is only going to be successful. It teaches- Dream Big and believes that you can achieve. Salute to such crafted movie!

Prey on a hunt!
It has much to do with our society at large. Questions and introspection have been over and over again made no sooner we get another minor being raped. The girl who was the victim of a police constable Sunil more is in a state of coma. What happened on that night would be frail to assume what is transpired for the girlýs future. Shamefully, India accounts as one of the leading country for rapes per year. Does it ring an alarming bell that our girls and women are unsafe? If it does also, the shameful incident by a cop does raise fingers to our law. If the law protectors become law- breakers, then whom are we to commute our worries?
Ha, itýs all because the girls wear indecent dresses, says my fellow friend. As software professional he finds his colleagues wearing outrageous dresses and are blind to the comments made by people. They believe being democratic citizens of a republic they have every right to wear and do anything. Well, honestly speaking this carefree attitude does let you fall in mud slinging sometimes.
But, are not Indian women being subjected to humiliation every night? Ask my fellow lawyer friend in Bangalore
And he points out an interesting link. He says most of the women filing divorce cases points out to them they have been forced to have sex during the marital period, and then to know the guy as your husband is a disgusting thing. Our constitution has clearly stated that any sort of force being thursted during sex is termed as Rape. Almost 1 out of 10 housewives have complained that their husbands have raped them. How do you explain this now?
To me media is partly responsible for the crime on women in cities of India. Just the other day, I switched on the television and happened to see a female model for a gutkha advertisement; how on earth do you explain that? Itýs one of the areas where everyone need to focus; every girl wants to wear the best outfits in town, but does it crosses the moral of obscenity is the all important question?

Myths and Mis-conceptions
'Green City', 'Refresh Bangalore', 'IT Education'- what's common to them? Interestingly, these so called adjective wonders are very much in the front page of our Daily Newspapers today. I usually travel in company bus and carry along TOI. It's a sheer enjoyment to read an early morning newspaper-fresh, vigorant, new ideas, sports and above all job advertisements. If this do not appeal, than hop along a ride with me towards Hosur Road and you might have some beautiful things to say about a newspaper. In this piece of blog, I've tried to analyze as what are the things that make Bangalore Greener and how are the newspapers serving this need.
I guess the so called 'bureaucrats' of Bangalore had a meeting with citizens the other day. Sparkling ideas, suggestions and promises (mainly by the honourable CM)decorated the podium. Suggestions to improvise the education sector in Bangalore with umpteenth number of schools imparting English eductaion was made. The CM made a promise that almost 100 schools were going to be opened in Bangalore providing english education.
Next came the hygene factor, with someone making the assumption that Bangalore should be litter-free; ah! some people heard liquor-free! Parks and public galleries are to be maintained with proper dustbins and no sanitary hassles. So much said, yet the people lack basic habit of dumping their waste in a dustbin. Lalbagh Botancial Gardens have lost its historical significance and has become the den of Romeo-n-Juliet. No harm in that but chances of it turning into a vulgar zone, as seen in the recent past is there.
Road usage comes to picture next. The Government is planning to have a toll-fee taken on vehicles for certain roads. It is believed that the traffic congensation would be diminished considerably if this act comes to force. We will wait and see!

The most memorable moment of my life
Sometimes things which are anticipated and wished to be fullfilled at the corner of your heart happens, you are just startled. The first reaction that comes is "is it real?" and "oh! my God!! am I seeing the person in front of me?" I do not have a fancy habit of shitting in front of the public or an over reacted emotion. But I was apprehensive of the fact that certain actions are spontaneous and they come form within.Meeting the my IDOL was one such occasion and I still cherish that moment!
As I slowly treaded across the green lawns of infosys, I was startled to see a man in a blue chiffon shirt and a black pant. I quickly adjusted my tie, gave a quick glance at my watch and greeted me " Morning SIR! The man gave a quick glance, took his hands out of the pocket and shook hands..Both our hands were locked and he smilingly responded "Young Man, Hows work going?" I stuttered for a while and quickly responded, "Fine, sir". He quickly left..
Oh! there were so many questions that I wanted to ask Mr.Narayan Murthy; questions that have always been accumulated but never popped out of mind; I wish I had some more time to be with this great achiever.Infact, I had expected him this to happen but at the very start of my career, didn't thought.
Sweet Dreams are made of those and this moment will surely signal out the best of the lots!

A night to cheerish!!!
Though I reckon myself to be a first-rate dude, something which is very easy on my part to put on, I don't find myself comfy in the shades of people. I tend to become a little introvert than but when you have a bevvy of beautiful girls with you, I am freezed with cold...Such anticipation to make most of the situation--na don't get stumped here..I am just trying to make a point--how important it is to outshine yourself when it comes to the girls. I have never been a run after girl type and my issue has always been that I expect a woman giving me as much attention as figuring her dress for the ALL IMPORTANT FRIDAY PARTY.
Corporate culture has sometimes left me choked. I really can't figure out why people throw rave parties and then dash out cash only to make them feel that an 'INCH' higher..But, then they are thrown and you gotta put a mask and pretend that you are enjoying the show. No harm in that, but these days everyone wears a mask..
Alright, then let's get on the track. We at Infosys had our UX3 outing at Tuscan Verve and believe me it rocked.
I had a great time amidst the cacophony of girls (each trying to depict a Sharon Stone) and guys proving themselves to be first-rate drunkards (We literally won it!!!). The girls gave us a very tough fight both in drinks and in dance and they won it..easily!!! By the way, when it comes to dance, yours truly is a ROCKER..something or sorry! someone called Sunny Deol would find tough to battle it out.Let's not get into the shoes of Dancing!!!
I remember the post-drive that we had and the horrendous HSR Layout..ANYWAY, My first Infy wasn't bad..made some friends and got some numbers to keep floating..Sometimes, being a SINGLE status always helps!

Kabhie Xora Kabhie Kuch Aur!!!
LEAVING XORA FOR GREENER PASTURES....
Tiny drops of water makes a mighty ocean...how true! I am pondering over it while sitting at my cubicle which has resisted me more than 2 years now. It is in this context that I chose to start of the topic with the above lines. I am moving to pastures that expectedly would be much greener and wealthier..This being my last day at Xora (name of the existing company), I've decided to share some experiencs.
I am not a real job-hopper, so in case you're wondering if I make myself available for every job interview, it would be wrong. My tryst with job-hunting has always been fascinating with much of the time being wooed or booed rather by the HRs. But, hang on those pretty HRs with a 24x7 smile surely have a job to do; mind you, recruiting me isn't an easy job. I was thinking of switching over to Technical Writing when I received a call from an HR of Xora. I was asked to attend the interview sharp at 10:30 hours, and I still remember doing a last minute change to my resume.
The job location was Indiranagar and after an initial written test that tested my english grammar and html skills, a technical interview was taken. After the interview was taken, I was asked to come the following day and meet the MD. I was prompt in clearing the test and on June 9, 2004 I was given the appointment letter.
I had some very good and some horrible Xora experiences--woh Karan Johar kehta hai naa "Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham". Let's keep the good things for later purposes...
Firstly, I had this quarrel with the man who thinks he knows all 'under the sun'. I am not really sure that if this BOSSY character is going to stay like this forever. Secondly, occasional verbal fights with my Manager left me strong. But he's a real nice guy; its just that I am bad. Thirdly, some guys robbed my money and all on my way back home. Fourthly, a chauvinist of every sort who made my life miserable with his TIME MANAGEMENt
Right Here, Bite Now with a Kutty!
I remember Salman in the days when he could identify something called 'shirts' made a statement "Dosti Kiya Hai to Nibhana To Padega Hi". Ashraf has visulized and incorporated that statement in his first proposal.
Ladies and Gentelman, the author is proud to show you moments of India's first proposal Online-Ashraf and Mili
Post=proposal--Do you want me to say "I LOVE U' in Urdu?
Let's get naughty Kutty!

To catch a Fly!!!
It’s a city of dreams- dreams, which are of paramount and weird. Bangalore also dreams: dream to catapult itself in Singapore’s identity, but don’t one sense danger too! The recent months have witnessed an increase in the rate of Sexual misdemeanors in India. Be it two school kids or an old man preying over his daughter-like-renters, its certain Voyeurism has come taken a new fold in India. Though Bangalore hasn’t been still glorified by its existence, but can you be sure that there are no Spy Cameras hovering around? Is Voyeurism here to stay or are we late in realizing its existence? Even as I write the article, I can sense something wrong happening somewhere. Are women really safe or have privacy of women under threat?
How do you define Voyeurism? Well, secret act of viewing others in sexual situations involving erotic play and taking the pictures without the consent of the others is what we can say for now. A person who has this peeping eye is called a Voyer. It would have been an easy task had we some tool for identifying a voyer. Interestingly voyer is not a hidden person. They are ordinary persons whom we encounter in day-to-day life. Often people suffer from the notion that Voyeurs are a class sitting in some cyber cafes or sexually perverted minds but these are wrong.
Consider the real-life scene. A woman in a crowded bus and manages to get a seat. A man of middle age goes near to the ladies seat though there are enough spaces in the bus to stand. He gradually puts her body over her or there’s an attempt to touch her. The woman noticed that but hardly can do anything. The writer happened to witness these scenes but was helpless since my fellow passenger thought it was pretty common. I could sense the amount of harassment that poor school and college girls have to undergo everyday at every point of the time. It’s pretty easy to write the stuffs sitting in an air-conditioned room. Let’s if we can analyze for sometime why do we have so much voyerous?
Education would be the topmost priority to begin with. Over half of the population remains desolated from literacy. Add to that they are introduced to all C grade movies at an early age. Things take a strange turn as they take their expeditions to youth. It’s tough to single out education to be the only cause of mockery for education in turn brings out latest technologies and technologies have harbored sexual fantasizes.
The first thing that generally crossed my mind when I heard the word ‘Internet’ was Sex. Yes! And I am not shy to admit that these have been quite an unusual experience for the first few months. I am much more wiser now and the Voyeurism in me has shielded quite a lot. But still am amused with the way things are shaping up these days. Every day you take up the paper or view the Television you have some sex-scandal or the other. Often the technology has been blamed for these actions, but my query is we not the guys behind this voyeurism or has voyeurism lead to technology.
