Elevators and hoi polloi

Image
I read somewhere that on an average a software engineer works on and above 3rd floor. Life of a SE is full of ups and downs, quite literally. He takes the elevator! Otis invented this wonderful machine which does all the up and down movements for you on the push of a single button. Elevators are preponderant when it comes to high rises. Just imagine the pain of climbing a 6 floors by stairs multiple times in a day.  Normally we spend 3-4 mins in an elevator but just in case you are a lift operator you might be spending the complete 8 hours shift inside the moving cuboid. But since you are reading this blog am sure you're not a lift operator. Lifts are a problem for those who travel more than 10-15 floors and those with extremely slow elevators, well you might be spending 5-8 mins inside the lift. As a token of kindness and sympathy I forgive you and this post caters to your interests.Hence, Read On! The various species which you might find in an elevator are: Name: Driver a.k.a Ope...

Life is wonderful!

Came across this simple, slow yet beautiful song.

You never know!

Even an astrologer isn't 100% sure of what is going to happen to him at the very next moment. Yesterday, a support of mine(yeah.. best friend if you want it that ways) narrated me an incident in which a person X went for a meeting and group(lets call it Y) shot him right there. Steve Jobs was all set for a product launch but destiny had something else stored for him. You never know what hits you and when! You never know when the love bug/a mosquito bites you etc etc..You realize everything once the calm comes after the tornado. This is what makes us stand apart from the fresh earthen pot which can be smashed to pieces if one wants. A potter who turns the wheel and shapes the clay without a single second of rest. As they say " Aaram haram hai " ..for this potter it really is as it is the matter of your life and death.Once casted, the clay finds a use and dons its new avatar until the day it breaks.Then? The potter gathers more clay and starts turning the wheel to make ano...

Morons aka Eco-Warriors

Stupid, Idiot defines this group of morons, really?yeah! They're just hipsters camouflaging everywhere. Whenever an eco-warrior or the so called "environment lovers/seducers/suckers" meet takes place, they all sit together and plan to make life more miserable for the common man. Without the slightest knowledge of science/technology they start opposing any good initiative.Making everyone's lives as close to hell as possible, hugging, giggling and shouting is what they do in those "meets". Who knows what they do behind the scenes, ass grabbing..ehh? On one side they call themselves environmental friendly and they supposedly do all those things which are good for mother Earth but what about those zillions of posters/flyers/pamphlets they stick/distribute here and there? All these promotion aides eventually find solace in dustbins or should I say India's favorite dustbin - the roads! Chopping few acres of trees, getting them printed with non biodegradable co...

Ohh god..please..No..please!

Perhaps this will be the shortest post till date but I am heart broken..tears rolling down on my not so chubby but fair cheeks.. Cobie Smulders(Robin-Scherbatsky) is getting married! :( :( :( Well I just have one thing to say now - 

NinCooompOooop!

NOTE: I am NOT a Himesss Reshammiya fan/AC/etc. - if you inferred something from the title! So why such a huge stress on Oooooo! Blame it on sticky keys - nopes not the windows app. but the keys are actually sticking to my fingers since the time I accidentally dropped GluconD on it! What the hell..right? I call it Dafaq! How many times you type something and then without even thinking you close the app just to realize that you forgot to save the file? Or how many times your net starts behaving abnormally just when you had pressed the submit button and you are shown "Page cannot be displayed"? Couple of no. of times probably?  But can you expect a qualified Software Engg. to do the same blunders?  Why not? After all he too is a human being(umm..yeah). Atleast, I cannot! So what did I do? I wrote a entry..pressed the "publish" button and realized that due a recent power cut the network went down. So what's the big deal, wordpress maintains an auto saved draft ver...

Introspection ahoy!

Getting old is not a new phenomenon..after all I am not an Olay user:-/ Forgetting things..yes! Am I doing anything..well nothing. ooh lala! How demoralized you can be when you know this is just the beginning. Talking to myself, always gives me an answer. Life is a cycle - be it love, silence, friendship, failures and successes.Even nature rides a cycle..sunshine..sunset and then rise again. Nostalgic, we get when we meet old friends, then we lose them just to find them again. Ignoring anybody's existence is a thing of past. Being at the age of a quarter of a century, I still discover and re-discover myself..a mucilaginous cycle you may say.  Stumbling upon this has always been a part of my life. The dullness of the sky and the wind around brings a sense of somber, and your only companion becomes the night.. The inner self attempts to burst, to speak to the reality,the world at large that I am here but unfortunately they are unheard and untold. People live life rather salubrious li...
