Financial Express

The end of another financial year. Bank balance is back to where it belongs, double digits! Its been a fast year for me. Cannot believe the fact that it was the last march 31st that my mother retired from service. Also, the fact that I have completed over 18 months on my job and could be called a senior!

Time passes us like an express train. Most probably not run by Indian Railways!

What is it we gain as time passes?

A bigger paunch (read beer belly!)?
A fatter paypacket (recession looming!)?
A thinner hairline (*heaves a sigh of relief*)?
A thicker beard? (*checks 20 day old beard with pride*)?
A nothing post (with brackets in every line!)?

Its that and a lot more. Life provides us with lessons everyday. Its up to us to identify the lessons. Sieve the out the consequential from the inconsequential. Learn from them. Apply the learning. In school we were taught that technology is the application of science. Without application, science is pretty much about some crazy men talking shit. In the same manner, lessons identified from life are shit unless its applied.

There concludes my end of the financial year bullshitting.

Oh yeah! As part of my learning, I have decided to start my own technology-business blog.
*trumpets blowing* The Scribe.
Read. Comment. Spread the word.
Just like കിടിലം ഫിറോസ്‌ tells on BIG FM every morning, കേള്‍ക്കു കേള്പ്പിക്കു ലൈഫ് കൊണ്ടാടു.

P.S: If you see strange symbols as my last words either you are not a malayali or your browser sucks. If you saw the beautiful malayalam words and didn't get what its all about, you need to come down to Trivandrum and tune into the FM stations.

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 )

Ancient Thrills

Ancient civilization. Dig. Gun. Artifact. Conspiracy. Esoterica. Professor. Prospective authors please note, you will get atleast one buyer for your book if these key words are there on your book cover. It would also help if you get someone to give comments like "Stunning!", "Tour De Force!" etc. I am such a sucker! My book collection has grown because of a few books I bought specifically due to these keywords. A small list which could well be incomplete: The Temple by Mathew Reilly Cover of Temple Peru. Inca. Idol. Guns. Pretty decent. Good read on a lonely day. Seven Ancient Wonders by Mathew Reilly Decent book. Lots of traps and thrills. Moments like the discovery of the Hanging Gardens are really good. Six Sacred Stones by Mathew Reilly Sequel to the above book. Same old stuff. The ending is a cliff hanger though. The Last Testament by Sam Bourne Cover of The Last Testament Palestine. Israel. Biblical artifact. Middle east solution. Peace talks. Okay okay book. ...
