Life is neva like wat v wan

Hi all...

Am peeping into the blog after a loooong time.. Don ask me y... :) .. Its a secret...
R v all content wid v hav now? I am nt. I din mean the money or d env v r in, but our life.
I dunno how many know this, I don like computers and this IT field . 'Completely sickening with a bunch of good for nth ppl sittin in front of comp, typing in endless lines' . this was d opinion i had when i was in school. Till 12th i neva worked in a comp ( To mention except in 7th n 8th where v had compulsary classes in school . I managed to score well B- :) ) . I neva attended math entrance class. Used to skip it always, say parents dat i hav other works sit n sleep in class.

But when d entrance results came, it was a major shock to the entire family. I din make up to any of the govt medical college missing it by points. May b fate was so.
First attack that changed my life completely.
Till date am cursing myself for not scoring well enough to get into medicine which i longed for from my childhood days. To say my father was the reason behind it. I disappointed him very much.

Next the hunt for engineering college. Myself and my father used to have heated discussion over which college to choose. I want to do electricals or electronics. I some how like the electrons and protons :) , may b my physics teacher played an imp role in it. Again, fate din play fair. Second attack. I din get in ECE or EEE in anna n PSG. So took IT in PSG.

Not a day passed without me mourning for wat position i was den. I neva get the code. Neva understood the greek and latin ppl used to teach in the name of programming language. Atlast somehow i passed in eth and got the degree in hand.

Now the job. Though i earn, this is not wat i want. This is not the life i expected and longed for. Simply to say there in no meaning for my life now. Even if i want 2 do highers, i simply cant. Coz d sub doesnt interest me.

Somehow i developed interest in drawing. But work n work n more work. U eventually forget eth else.

N there goes. Life continues like this foreva.

:)

This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2008, written by an African kid

When I born, I black

When I grow up, I black

When I go in Sun, I black

When I scared, I black

When I sick, I black

And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow

When you born, you pink

When you grow up, you white

When you go in sun, you red

When you cold, you blue

When you scared, you yellow

When you sick, you green

And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored?

Go For It !

Economic Crisis.. Credit Crunch.. Global Recession.. GDP Decline.. Subprime Mortgage Crisis.. Deflation.. Financial pitfall.. Stock market plunge.. Worldwide Economic Depression.. Unemployment and Foreclosures........ All these terms are related to the current scenario the planet around us is facing. The general slowdown in economic activity and Production units measured by Employment, Investment Spending, Business Profits, Household Incomes all fall during this crisis.

Moment of truth and comedy behind tragedy being that we are also one of the victims. Losing jobs and Fighting for the next one is no different from our situation. Its just that we luckily have got the back seat in this roller coaster ride and suffer less compared to some of our friends who once thought that they were also in safe hands, but unexpectedly ended up waiting indefinitely for this storm to pass through, so that they can also achieve the plans they had walked in with into PSG Tech. Taking nothing away from this twisted scene, do you guys remember the hassle we all went through for our placements. The butterfly effect, nervous interviews, nailbiting final rounds.. Ellam irunthum jobs kidacha niraya peru innum waiting queue la infinite ah deadlock situation eppa mudiyum endru aavaludan kaathirukaanga.

We shld all be grateful to the supernatural forces that the company we've enrolled for is in a half decent state and we all have been taken on board. Atleast we guys were gifted enough to see that many companies and had the opportunity to walk in and walk out of that placement office with more or less good chances, but look at our predecessors... They have very limited options and more than manageable competition to get through. So I would cal myself and my clan of Freedom Writers LUCKY :D

So the ideal thing to do at this point of time is to gather vast experience with some good exposure in the journey and await the doors to open wide in a couple of years and pursue what we really wanted to or fascinated to. To start off life, this is not bad at all. So, however much you had to compromise, suffer, struggle and bare with the uncomfortable cumbersome experiences we might have to go through as part of this new job and tough sharpenings in the name of learning I would say pull yourself together to stay calm and composed. Tell yourself "Excellence is not a singular act, it is when you unrealizingly dedicate yourself to swim through the problems and break through the obstacles to reach the other end of the tunnel and look back in glory to tell yourself "..You deserve it and its only the beginning to many more of such mind blowing arduous adventures..." !

Rather than complaining about the problems surrounding the bee hive. We can look at it with some optimism ... "Nammala nambiyum inniku oru job and rewarding remuneration is waiting.. So we are worth something and we are destined to prove ourselves.." Lets take this up in defiance and nail each one of our difficult circumstances we face everyday as part of our job and raise to the occasion. After some retrospection I would assert that we repronounce the term "DIFFICULTY" as "CHALLENGE" in our dialect.

And also, taking this opportunity.. I would suggest all of us interact by exchanging some valuable information of what we do... Wat's the job nature and wat technology do we use to empower the project we are working on.! The kind of R&D involved in ur work and al the experimentations and learnings that came along. Above all, Who Am I - I aaaaam SpiderMan. Athu than illai, wat is ur designation exactly nu sollunga

Reincarnation - may be true !!!

Reincarnation is nothing but rebirth. But before going into my concept, I want to brief u about human development and variation based on chromosomes. Every human is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, that is 23 from father and 23 from mother. These 23 chromosomes are selected randomly from the father and mother. Even scientists couldn't determine the logic behind that.

A child born with 46 chromosomes is coming from 92 different chromosomes from father and mother. So, a father can produce C(46,23) - (combination) different sperm cells and similarly a female can produce C(46,23) different ovum cells. C(46,23) value is 8,233,430,727,600 (8.2 trillion approx).

Since a zygote is formed by the fusion of sperm and ova. The total possible outcomes are (square of 8.2 trillion). A couple can produce these many number of different children but not beyond that. Tis s answer for the question, why children born to same parents look different?

The human body is made up of proteins - body builders. the proteins are formed based on the chromosomal arrangement. It determines the shape of the nose, hair, internal organs, etc., so to be born again the same sequence has to reoccur. This is also the concept behind cloning (making a backup of yourself).

But it can also happen naturally, Our ancestors called that as reincarnation. The time of reincarnation is again unpredictable. It depends on the pair that fuses to form a new life. But after a very long period of time, the chromosomes will definitely repeat its sequence. But no one will know that they are born again. I am pretty much sure that our body would have already existed in this world.

In some Indian culture, people used to say that a person can have a total of 7 lives. It can also b true, as the time difference between two reincarnation is huge. May b t earth can get destroyed before the 8th cycle. can b 2012!!

If cloning is going to get authorized, then it will create drastic changes in the society. "Memory transfer + cloning" can create true replicas (both physical and mental).

Why Did I Fall in Love

No 9'o clock calls.. No weekend shopping... No expectations on valentine's day... No romantic dinners... No surprises... No anticipations on Birthday / Valentine gifts... No presumable ego.. No anticipation or anxiety on being passive.. Basically no pressure... "Kya love story yaar.. Band Bajgaya" endru ninaika vendam. Infact this is one of the most wonderful relationships i've ever encountered. If you have a partner qualifying all these parameters with contradicting equations then it means that u've actually found yourself a perfect match from Monster.com ;)

Every relationship has a scale of peak expectations which need to be fulfilled to avoid disaster recovery. The way this works is, when the relationship is fresh, bright and refreshing the levels of expectation is barely low because none of us want to take the other for granted or put too much pressure on the other. So there is a large buffer space that is shared... Leaving apart the philosophical end.. Lets get back to the story. A disco, A dare, A Pile On, A Post Pile On, A Touch, A Kiss, A Fresco, A New Year's Eve, A Party.. And all these between 2 very light hearted minds which find a great sense of common things alongside with barely any emotional atyachaar or any apprehension. Can you believe it, the coin has always been biased and the dice is always loaded. We always tend to build up or pile on unnecessary premonitions and make promises to ourselves in the name of love. One day, when these never-made promises dont materialize we start feeling insecure.

The moment the human mind gets insecure, it's pattern of behavior explodes so drastically that we make blunders which would seem stupid from one's own judgement 10 minutes later. So, coming back to the story... The 4th week... An Ambition, A Job, A Trip.... Whilst all this, they meet... Just to find out how nervous is the other one to declare what they had in their minds. Lets just pause here and go back to Laila Majnu, Heer Ranja, Romeo Juliet... All these love stories are built of emotions, strong bonds, passion, abiding trust... Well, all this is fit for tales and good for nothing today. Not for the Aam Janta - The Mango PPL.

BREAK UP !! Long distance Relationships dont work.. Relation wears out.. The bond fades out.. Calls unattended.. Mails not responded.. More pressure and more anguish.! We need to do it - YES BINGO !! Both of them in unison.. Here it goes - wht was it, fidgety 2 minutes. The cat was out of the bag and so was all the uneasiness and rigidity.. See, thats what good relationships are made of - being frank, forthright and blunt with no degree of artificiality in expressions or thoughts..

If it had been a harsh, hurtful, awkward breakup with polished statements and refined thought sharing, then the story wud have been "Mooooving on with life"..But surprisingly and excitingly both of them having shared wat was exactly what they wanted they get even more comfortable with each other.. But, eventually time and space separates them - not their minds.! Since cooexistence is imperative they tend to blend in with their present days and date different ppl. 1 gets all what he wanted in life - the perfect job, the beautiful life and plenty of money and the other - did wat all she was passionate about, exploring things and reinventing herself.

Shouldnt the story end here. They both have moved on and they have made complete individuals out of themselves... The beauty lies there, like all graphs they also have a down followed by an up.. Their lives slowly start to deteriorate. Life loses its color, the flavor and the essence. It becomes monotonous. They have everything but cumulatively nothing. All material things start to sulk and at one point of time they get lost and drowned.

Now, the question is why???????????????????? Show me what you've got guys.. Things are pretty evident. Not a single flaw so far, but why do they still feel incomplete and where has the drive in them gone?

The story ends with cheers and blushes.. A Happy Ending. But I shall reveal that once we fill the dotted line blank for the question above.

Princy & Tiara

Wat a beautiful sunday afternoon.. Actually the morning cud not be accounted for as i had not even realized it pass by :) Such a wonderful climate it was. All the scorching heat had vanished overnite. It was so damn bangalore in front of me eyes. It was revolting to accept as the past 57 sundays have all been merciless and i felt like i had vanquished all the tireness from the previous nite from watching F.r.i.e.n.d.s. for straight 6 hours till the morning 6am.

Then finally i decided, now since i got up so early in the morning - i shall take a stroll down my road and buy the groceries needed for munching thru the day... The weather was even more congenial and fascinating down the road. The very fact that i lived in a despairingly fiery hot city had evaporated out of my mind the moment i reached the end of the road. Cha... how very ephemeral human thoughts and impressions are. Thats y we are all subject to the common rule that TIME HEALS :> an indubitable fact. I dint feel like getting back in to the dungeon once all the merchandise was over - again indications of a very tranisent mind :> And so did i follow my lead to stay outside and just gaze the cows and dogs enjoying the lush of the "supposed to be green" grounds, which apparently was all dry, drought and barren due to the sultry summer for the past couple of months - see, not all objects of existence are as weak and volatile as the human mind :).. They dont change behavior as quick as we do... The landscape was still all dry inspite of the overnite change in weather.

It was 3.30pm in the noon and still astonished by the "beyond the imagination" atmospheric conditions we had no heart to sit inside an AC building or an aerified artificial ambience. So we quickly gobbled up the Cheese sticks and Spring fling we had ordered and we had walked right across the road to enter into Meera's office complex and marched rite into Costa coffee - for my all time favorite Hot Chocolate. I managed to talk the reluctant cashier into serving us both the hot chocolate at the courtyard rite outside their cafe. It was as windy as it was last winter out here and we couldnt have bargained for a better turf like meadow to spend the delightful evening.

Life's most lovely moments are not planned - they occur, you will never know till it eventualizes from the blues. There it was - no laptop, no movies, no novels, no romcoms, no sidcoms, no bowling, no snooker, no flirting, no beaming at gals, no theatres, no malls, no shopping and no fictitious phony stuff at all - me, meera, the lawn, the devoid office building, lots of greenery and star of the moment - The Cruising Breeze. I did what i was best at that very juncture - click, clack, cheese, close-up and capture.. yup snapshots of the divine moments is imperative, aint it.


Then i met not one, but 2 beings from the common race. Unnaipol, yenaipol, nammai pol oruvan, sorry iruvar - with just one sense less than us. But 1 shade ahead of us in dignity, loyalty and affection. They called them Princy and Tiara. How very adorable, charming and gorgeous they looked - The Labrador Retrievers as they call it. The Newfoundland dog breed is the most famous breed across the world and today they are more commonly known as Labradors. Me and my family have a very good attachment towards pet dogs and very compassionate towards them. Labs are very intellectual - as you all would have heard they are One Master Dogs, police dogs, trained ones and excellent drugs and bomb detectors. Princy and Tiara were simply superb. Princy was all active, fun-loving, mischevious, and playful. Whereas, Tiara was dull, sober, fearsome and subdued. Paavam, it shld ve been drilled harsh with strict punishments and disciplinary tasks. Had an amazing time with those 2 puppies. Handshake (actually its their leg and my hand.. so probably hand leg shake), fetch and throw, pushing me down, running through and out of my legs, jumping to my shoulder height, giving me cheek kisses and saying smileee to photos, brushing their fur and what not !!!

There it was, a befitting bottom-line to compliment an excellent evening.. coool

Oct 2 - .....


Hey Guys...
Oct 2.. Another holiday in our calender... Ppl working in software companies know nth other dan this n dey neva wan 2 know... Same with my case too.. A day 2 sleep :)

But lets make this day a bit informative...
Can u list out atleast a single event which happened in d same day? Any interesting news about Gandhiji which s not known?

WORDS OFTEN CONFUSED :)

unity , gethu, mass , rocks


These words are too vague yet seem to be too familiar.

Yeah we would have used them during our college days very often and mostimportantly heard them for the first time from our seniors. All these sound a bit lighter now:)

Well let me put an elementary school question to you all

MAKE SENTENCES WITH THE FOLLOWING WORDS

unity , gethu, mass , rocks

unity-pasangalam unity ah irukanum da

gethu-it na gethu

mass- it mass katanum da intrams la

rocks- zybernautz rocks

friends this is not a sycophancy

Many of us would have heard these sentences umpteen times either from our class mates or our seniors. Did any of us understand what it truly referred to ? The answer, is there were multiple interpretations to it.

Thanks to some X,Y,Z seriously I dunno who, our batch was christened 'ZYBERNAUTZ'
on the eve of chill out which was supposed to be a HOT COMPETITION

Coming back to the interpretations thing: i will give some of my predicted, which- were- interpretations.

1) IV ORGANIZE PANNA GETHU
2) ATHULA COMEDY AH ATTAM POTA ADHAVIDA GETHU
3) KOODA 4 peru vachu etho 3 conference , 2 event ,1 mock naduthina enna minchinavanga yaarum illa
the top most of all
4) TRAVEL AGENCY VACHU FRIENDS AH SORRY PARTNERS AH TOUR GUIDE
AAKURATHU

and finally

5)NAAN THAAN NU JORA AATAM PODURATHU, THAAN KEDURATHUM ILLAMAL
MATHAVANAUM SENTHU KEDUKURATHU


We have been true to our name ZYBERNAUGHTS , oops , 0-0 , sorry,ZYBERNAUTZ. Pardon me am a poor typist and tend to do a lot of mistakes.

No one should feel for what we have been in our college. In fact we must be proud for the fact that Indians invented the ZERO and we have upheld our tradition and heritage.

We were like the Indian cricket team , individual achievements were great , each one had tremendous talent but as a team we achieved was less than nano:)

We are an excellent example of the proverb "A bad apple is enough to spoil the remaining ones". This might not go well with many but directly or indirectly bad apple had atleast minimal influence on all of us as a result of which we lost many, not too mention some of the dept staff who were even not spared the apple :)

I still remember the endless tirades we had at the hostel during the seventh sem , all fun :)

Me and senthil would specially consider the seventh semester as gift after spending three years in dark murky waters waiting for a release :)

All the travellers, travel agents and apples would have joined their respective companies i guess.

The guys in our batch never knew and will never know how it is to perfom at the qangle. I mentioned guys only :) They would never have a chance to experience the joy we felt when our close friends got into dual companies , atleast we did thank god :) The will never know how it feels to help a person when he really wants it :) we have experienced it all and there is and will be no substitute for that :)

He he I have peppered the previous para with smilies, which shows how i feel :) even as i type this line in my office i am grinning sheepishly thinking about our college :) and hostel :) and the funny drama at chill -out which was snubbed as whats funny abt the drama ,by the jury :)

Guys dont think that am writing blogs in office becoz i dont have work. I, do, but the joy of sharing things with our small circle of trusted friends, many of whom are already absconding, is something that cant be expressed. So guys please contribute to the blog regularly and make our blog going great guns :)
