Timeout Mumbai ;)

its the name of a magazine which bunu (my best friend) dropped at my place. I noticed it when i was laying down on the bed staring at the ceiling .. something was beneath my arm .. timeout mumbai . .It gives a glance into what mumbai hep life is going towards. Its a well organised magazine with lots of useful bits of info. I liked the TV schedules and forthcomming event listings the most . They were nicely laid out so that once can plan well in advance . A large portion of the magazine seems to be aligned towards the tastes of the upper class.. People who have more than just a bank account .. its for people who own the bank :)) .

For me the 25 rupee booklet provided some good dream material. for me to dream about those expensive restaurants and that lavish lifestyle. Afterall dreams are fuel for success .. Hardwork ofcourse is the tool . (atleast it should be!)

De-greasing mind and body

Gone are those days when I used to pump iron everyday . Sitting at the desk all day allows my fat account to be credited everyday :) . The Government gym at goa was a place where the roughnecks of the state would end up .. that was a place where i would really vent out and exercise. I think i have to get my self moving and burn out all that lard. Maybe thats what i need at the moment .. to de-grease my mind and body ..

I finished one small application today .. Feels nice to watch people use software that you have written . Feels really nice . So today will be one of those days when i will pump iron afer a long gap . That means lots of stiff muscles and good SLEEP . ;)

A Thursday afternoon at work..

This is yet another Thursday afternoon in an MNC in mumbai . People are looking towards the cafetaria.. Time to have lunch. I've decided to skip lunch today. Around me , in their respective cubicles are different types of people doing different kinds of things. Some are busy trying to make it obvious that they are working hard! . :) .
I'm just chilling out. beneath my desk I have my legs resting on an Compaq cabinet . I'm "fencing" with Unix ODBC drivers for MSSQL . Something i hate doing is swmming in a soup of different vendors and technologies. I just hate it :(. But here i am .. editing config files .. peeping at source code.. and drinking coffee. After a while all the people will be back from lunch. And after some time everyone will wind up for the day . Good 'ol mumbai . It never stops making machines out of men :)

Rivers of Adrenalin ..


It was on the peaceful GEC grounds that we met. Old friends REAL old friends after a long long time.. I felt asthough i had been transported back to time . When we used to trade metallica tapes and drool on the latest metal albums.

The adrenalinrush has been a majot part of my life . My "home brew" 350 watt amplifier into which i plugged in one of my prized possession . A Sony diskman . Everyday before leaving home for college, the Windows of my room trebmled with the pounding of sanitarium , propoganda and likes. To many these words would sound quite cryptic. But not to Adrenalin Junkies .. I'm stil reeling under the hangover of scepter's Guitarz ..
