New year, New Hopes...

New year mornings are almost always not too special. Late wake ups and a rush to the school or college. Thankfully it is sunday today. So I can relax my ass today. New year brings with it a lot of new hopes and fears as well. Engineering Life will be dead and buried by May and I have got an uncertainity over my future. Lets see how things work out. I am optimist and I hope for the best.
Last year was pretty important for me. I have blogged about it in the fellowship blog. It is not that bleak as I wrote in that article though.
This year I hope would be good for all of you out there and for me as well. Haris and me have started a new newsblog. Web Vibz. It gives you information on all happenings on the internet and web scene. It has stemmed from our frustration at not able to find web news from one spot. It is not just for geeks mind you! I hope we will not be discouraged and carry on the work even if there is poor response. By the way I wanted the blog to be called 'Newt' and have a Newt as the mascot. But Hary just trashed my idea :-(
Hary has done an amazing design job in the site. Check out the collapsible posts and the integration with delicious.
It has currently got two posts and some information live from various sites. Please check out and please spread the word so that people visit the blog...

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
