No mood to do anything [Sep. 25th, 2008|07:48 pm]
[mood | bored]
[music |No music]

Today was one of those days when even the most exiting things like cing srk movie also sounded boring!! Can u believe it?

Dunno y since morn I am finding everything sooooo monotonous.

Had my series of mess ups to add to my boredom. :(

There was all girls meet. Only few girls attended, unfortunately I was one among them.
Then in the evening, I was kicked out of aerobics class for yawning non-stop.. Uff !! mera bad luck hi karab hai :(:(

Now here I am blogging having nothing else to do.. Maybe I am missing bugs( as my bug count is zero) or Maybe my life seems to have stagnated.. Hoping tmw will be an exciting day..

paapu can't dance saala [Sep. 10th, 2008|05:03 pm]
[mood | cheerful]

Sep 5th, 2008 was one of most exciting days of my life.. Y? Read on…

On this day; all gals of EPBG (our product group) were supposed to go on a day trip. We decided beforehand that we would be going to eagleton resort…

All gals and eagleton resort; it seems thrilling, rit? Yes it was.

So, as decided on Sep 5th a van was booked for the luxury of 13 gals. I boarded the bus from my office itself, as that pickup point was closest to my house.

We reached the resort in 30 mins shot. Then we had sumptuous breakfast. There was a huge swimming pool to play. But alas I had not got the dress to dive into the pool.. So except for 5 gals (including me :( ), everyone else jumped into the pool. But we also had heaps of fun playing squash, badminton, dart game, TT. Believe me, I was fabulously bad in all these games ;). But with little practice; Olympics is not far away.. What say ;)?

Anyway after all this we had a feast fit for a king oops I mean queen. We all hogged as we were famished after long tiring game.
This feast didn’t end our wonderful day. Soon after lunch; we hired few cycles and went cycling to a sun temple close by. After coming back we did go a golf course ride which made us realize golf is a dumb game.. Kidding ;)
Subsequently we rushed to steam bath, then sauna and finally Jacuzzi aka whirlpool tub. This was complete new experience for me.

After that we left for our respective homes with loads of stories piled up in my mind which I plan to unload on my loved ones.

Now my loved ones better be careful as I am gonna bug them with the stories

This was end of the tiring and exhilarating day. Now longing for more of such days.

My secret angel ... [Aug. 26th, 2008|06:58 pm]
[mood | bouncy]

Now-a-days so much is happening in our office that I am tempted to blog. So here I go..

Let me start my entry into blogging world with the description of the game which all office gals are playing
This game is called secret angel. Our new admin Rachel started this new game. She called all gals, in our group (around 20 of us) to a room one day. We had to pick one chit which had a name written in it. From that day I am the secret angel for the gal whose name was printed in that chit. Similarly somebody else will be mine.
That day we also decided that we will give small gifts secretly to our respective secret angel every day and this would continue till aug 28th. On aug 28th , we will reveal our names.

From that day we gals are having heaps of fun. Looking at gal, guys are all J.. ;)

I have kept chocolates and have created a separate mail id for my secret angel. Through the secret mail id I send E cards.

My secret angel has also been making me feel special every day. Daily she leaves notes with sweet words and chocolates. Today she left a gift on my desk..

I am loving this game but alas it's gonna end

My experience [May. 26th, 2008|03:15 pm]
[mood | content]
[music |balle balle..]

Well recently I had blogged abt how small small things can bring immense happiness, now I have got one more instance to validate my point.
Recently one of my friend’s mom told me that a farmer’s kid had to be operated and that farmer is badly in need of money.
Dunno y, that thing kept hovering in my mind. Then I thought of sending this contribution request to all my colleagues and friends.
I sent this mail to everyone. One of the manager came to me and said he was interested in knowing more details. I tld him n then he gave me the idea of keeping a contribution box in office.
First I didn’t buy that idea but thgt there is no harm in trying this so I kept a contribution box for a week..
That day, the program manager came to me and said what made u do this. I told him clearly
“when people don’t mind blowing of 500 bucks in a game like bowling then they shouldn’t mind saving a kid’s life”
Initially people were hesitant but after many reminder mails were sent. People did finally start contributing.
The same program manager came to me after few days n said that he was proud of me. Then my answer (was filmy as usual) “ yeh hain youngisthan, chanhon tho kuch bhi hai aasan”
Yest I gave the box to my friend’s mom. When checked a whooping Rs 9400 had got collected (this is apart from online contribution done by juniper folks).

All said n done, this might be a very very petty effort from my side to make that kid’s world more happier place, but it got me colossal contentment.

Aisa Lagta Hai, Jo Na Hua Hone Ko Hai [May. 9th, 2008|04:56 pm]
[mood | bouncy]
[music |Aisa Lagta Hai, Jo Na Hua Hone Ko Hai]

Whole day I sit in office coding. A small buffer overflow or a core takes my life.. Life had become monotonous. But lately life had been sooooo exciting that I don’t mind any core.

First exhilaration was my engagement. Then all the congratulations pouring in from every nook n corner which made me feel so special.

Secondly the engagement album.. woah.. I can’t stop seeing it. But one thing is for sure in such albums, u tend to see urself than others ;)..
dunno if this contentment is what everyone goes through or not, well if everyone does then everyone will definitely agree with me..

Then came this, my best friend, Suma, has joined dance class. Just to spend time with her even I joined the weekend batch. Unlike sumi, I dunno head r tail abt dancing. But it feels so great to be spending time with her.

Then finally, I joined aerobics class which is conducted in my office. I feel so fresh after aerobics. Now I am all excited to go to office ;)))

I feel I am going on a joy ride. Life feels soooooooo great. I am doing things which I wanted to do always. Now I feel like singing this
“Aisa Lagta Hai, Jo Na Hua Hone Ko Hai
Aisa Lagta Hai, Abh Dil Mera Khone Ko Hai"

How small small things can bring immense happiness? [Apr. 24th, 2008|05:29 pm]
[mood | cheerful]
[music |aaisa lagtha hai, dil mera khone ko hain]

How small small things can bring immense happiness?
Well this statement might seem soooooooo obscure now but let me tell u the story behind it and the reason for this happiness.

Lately, I had been working really hard. I used to crib for the same. Our company was launching a new product hence all developers were asked to work even on Saturdays. That agitated most of us.

Finally the product got launched. The only thing playing in our minds was this
“it was comapny's product, y did v work so hard. grrr”

Tdy the banner for the product was also launched and all of us were asked to sign the banner. Wow, didn’t know such a small gesture from the company would bring in so much happiness. Now this gesture made it very clear that it’s not someone else’s product, but it is our product running the software written by us.

feel like changing old sayings [Feb. 15th, 2008|02:01 pm]
[mood | discontent]
[music |No music... bored]

I keep bumping into this saying every now n then
“first impression is the best impression”
But somehow I feel it should be changed to
“last impression is the best impression”.
I know many people will disagree with me.

But don’t you think it is the last impression which will always be etched in our minds and there are ample chances that it might override our initial impressions of the same.

God save me... [Jan. 31st, 2008|12:34 pm]
[mood | confused]
[music |Main aisa kyon hoon]

In my office, when we come out of the lift, there’s a door which leads to reception ( typical IT company’s architecture). Today, when I reached the door, I frantically started searching for my badge. I searched my purse, n laptop bag. But alas, I couldn’t find it. Luckily for me, some other colleague swiped his badge which allowed me to cross the first barrier.

I thought to myself, “Gosh, I have forgotten the badge; let me get a temporary badge for the day”. I went to the receptionist and asked for a temporary badge. That receptionist kept looking at me. I was perplexed; I kept asking her for temporary badge. Then finally she spoke “What is that you r wearing”. Then I looked down and I was wearing the badge.. Uff, how dumb of me. I just chuckled and left the place.

God save me from my absentmindedness.

It happens... [Jan. 29th, 2008|11:37 am]
[mood | amused]

Just fixed a critical bug.. So time to celebrate ;)).. Have u realized how work dictates our life.. To plan anything one needs to keep checking ones work schedule. Boring life naah…
Sometimes this turns out to be blessing in disguise. How? Just think of life without any motto.. hmmm… that’s even worse naah..

Anyway let me stop this work the “never-ending saga” and let me enjoy this time.
Lately, I have been comparing life to a journey. One of my friends left the company in order to do her Ms. I was wondering how we had met and how we became good friends. I don’t know will be able to meet her again in my life. When I was telling this to my mom. She described this as “passing phases of life”.
This simple instance clearly correlates a journey to life. If I close my eyes and bring all the happenings of my life, I can so many friends’ face’s whom I will never ever meet in life. But the times spent with them are the ones which need to be cherished.
What say?

Blogging rocks..... [Jan. 17th, 2008|11:59 am]
[mood | cheerful]
[music |Kabhi Alvidha naah kehna]

When I had all the free time in my life, after a very long time, I just thgt of reading all the old blogs. Believe me, I was in total bliss after reading blogs..

Life becomes so monotonous with one surrounded by work all the time.. Blogging definitely helps to vent ones feelings and also acts a good teacher as u get to learn a lot from others experience.

From today, I have decided I will be an avid blogger. Yahoo, this will be new year resolution..

My Dream... [Sep. 27th, 2006|12:34 pm]
[mood |awake]

I got the most hilarious dream yest night. So thought of sharing it with my friends..
Beyond this is my narration of the dream….
I come home one day and see some post for me. I rip off the cover and see a letter which declares that I have been selected to MTV Model Hunt show. I am shocked and thrilled. Didn’t know how it happened but the letter looked genuine. I called up their number (Free toll and had to press 9 to talk to customer executive) and they confirmed my selection. I was too thrilled. My happiness knew no bounds. I told everyone literally everyone. As the D day was round the corner, I started panicking. That time I heard an encouraging voice. That voice promised to be with me no matter what happens.
The D day arrived but what do I see? I am up in the sky. I see all the participants merrily walking on the ramp. But nobody seemed to be missing me. 
But I hear the same voice which had once encouraged me but this time it was sobbing.
I wanted to go near the voice and console that voice. But couldn’t. Then I realized the blunder I had committed in my life. I was so lost in my dreams that I forgot others.. But it was too late..
My dream turned out to be an eye-opener for me. It taught me so many things in a simple way..

I leave the interpretation of my dream is left to the reader. We can stumble but we shouldn’t commit blunders which can never be rectified.
Be Always Happy….

Words !!! [Aug. 6th, 2006|12:06 pm]
[Current Location |home]
[mood | amused]
[music |nasaa nasaa]

Zindagi daud hai, daud hai zindagi
duniya ke mele mein har dil akela hain
jo yeh na samjha phaza

Ginke mili hai saansen sabhi ko
jayegi jaan kabhi na kabhi toh
jindagi se pyaar sabko hai yaar
jaise ke marna nahi hai kisiko
yeh jindagi chand saanson ka mela hai
jo yeh na samjha ...

Those were the lyrics of nasaa nassa song from the movie kaal..
Loved the lyrics.. Doesn't this song make lot of sense... Every word is filled with meaning.. Just one song speaks all the truths of life in such a simple form..

Day full of surprises… [Jul. 28th, 2005|08:59 pm]
[mood | happy]
[music |itni pyari nahi lagi aaj tak...]

Yesterday was the most memorable day of my life… It was filled with surprises..
Ok let me start from the beginning.. Well July 27th was my b’day n this day turned out to be the most unforgettable day.
My day began at 12 am with calls from my Mom, Suma, Ranjita, also Sunil( he had called to say good night n not happy b’day, ha ha!!)… Then my wait began for the other calls.. But alas none of them called so gloomily I retired to bed .Then when I got up, I found a present lying beside me. It was from my parents. My mom had given it to my aunt before leaving bang.. I was totally spell bound.
To my amazement, my brother had also got a surprise gift n a very sweet card. My happiness knew no bounds. I was in cloud 9. But through out my training session something kept hovering my mind.. Y hadn’t my “kittie” friends called?? Well my mind at that point of time didn’t know that I was in store for a bigger surprise..
All my friends which includes Archana,Deepthi,Navya,Rachana,Ranjita,Vinutha, Sheryl,Samanvitha(My office friend), Bharath, Bharath shetty, Ganaraj, Gowda, Nitin, Sunil, Vipul, (these names are purely in alphabetical order. if I have made some mistake in the order u have full privilege to blast my English teacher), had organized a surprise party in forum… This party was the best gift I had ever received… They had also got a cake for me … After the cake cutting and gifts sessions, we made Ranju sing Zara Zara, but of course fabulous singer like ranju deserves a better platform than Forum.
It was really nice to meet all friends after such a long time.. Unfortunately Ashwin and Ravi couldn’t come because they had some “dumb” meeting in office. Also missed vijaya,viju n teju a lot..
Well finally the Finest day ended with another treat from my family members.. Perhaps u can call this “day full of treats” as well. But for me it was the memorable b’day of my life n will always remain dear to me.
Finally I want to thank god for giving me such wonderful friends..

Any suggestion??? [Apr. 25th, 2005|11:16 pm]
Yesterday the X server of my machine (redhat 8 linux) crashed.
Well this happened after I installed modex driver for the internal modem Smart Link. Now I am able to connect to net from linux itself. But startx is giving problems. I.e. I can’t run startx directly, but I need to run /etc/init.d/xfs in text console and then do startx ..
Can anyone tell me how to start X window directly?

P.s: Runlevel is set to 5.
