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.

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 .
