One word meme

Purple Haze

The nicest guy in this world, Pappu, was gracious enough to bless us fellow roomies with a visit. He just came from a sabbatical in North India and looked visibly tired. Should eat your vegetables man! You look pale! I don't know how you are going to manage without us in Canada. We, especially me, would be glad to take care of you. After all you are our Pappu. No, you going to Canada doesn't make a change. Eventhough I have abused (in a strictly non-sexual way!) you, it was all out of my love (again, strictly stoic!) for you man. You rock! Arrival of Pappu heralded a new dawn of 'spirits' in us. We kept on racking our brains for a place perfect for Pappu and in the end had to stick with our old and faithful place. Purple haze all around us... The next day Garfield wakes up. Pulls the blanket over his head with the little paws to keep the noon sun out of his eyes. He hears Neo talking. "Who the fuck poured water from the stairs at night? When I shouted. He just ran ...

Tequilla Sunrise

I have done several music tags. Its been a while and couldn't resist when I saw one here . These are the rules: 1. Put your music player on Shuffle mode. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. Write the song name no matter what it is. 4. After you've answered all of the questions, tag 5 other people and let them know they've been tagged. We got a problem Houston! I am at my workplace and shouldnt be doing this tag in the first place! Secondly, I don't have my entire music collection, just some 50 songs in system. I am gonna make a slight variation. Instead of my entire music collection, I will be answering from the songs appearing in my Last.fm library radio . Almost my entire collection is randomised in there. Let's rock! 1. If someone says "Is this okay?", you say: I know there is an answer by The Beach Boys. Yeah, its 42 . Need to find the question though! 2. What would best describe your personality? Breathless by The Corrs...

Pic Tag

Quizzes are done. So its time for a tag. Saw this tag floating around a few places like Praveen's blog . Thought I will do it. So here it is! How to and what to : 1. You are given a set of questions. 2. Google the image which best suits the answer and post a picture from first page of image search with minimal explanation. 3. After you finish tag 6 other blogger friends and let them know. Lets go! 1.Your age on your next birthday This is one very, VERY weird picture to say the least! Pic courtesy: Duke University 2. A place you’d like to travel to A small cottage in a forest. A cartoon like forest where nothing can go wrong. Internet is a must. Lots of food. Lots and lots of books. Some nice talking animals to keep me company. 3. Your Favorite place Trivandrum. Home is where the heart is. This ofcourse is the Kowdiar Palace, which I have rented out to the King! :-P 4. Your favorite food/drink Caption says it all! HPMC Apple Juice that you get in bus stands and railway stations. 5....

A few quiz men! (also for women! :P)

No WUI. This is something I promised myself. Still quite myself. Promises are promises. So just a small quiz! Its been a while since I posted some of these anyway! You Communicate Vividly You love language and communicating. You are the first to try a new word or saying. You are a persuasive communicator and know how to influence people. You are inspiring and even poetic. You tend to use analogies, stories, and interesting phrases. You know how to evoke the right emotions. While you love to talk, you are also a good listener. You like conversations... not monologues! What Kind of Communicator Are You? You Are Warm You are as patient, as outgoing, and as nice as you can be. You understand people well, and you mostly enjoy being around them. You are a naturally warm person, but you do have times when you're feeling a bit distant. But even when you're feeling distant, you try to be empathetic. You always go the extra mile. How Warm Are You? Your Energy Level is High You are a very...

Joggers Park

Okay! As I had PPSed in the last post, we have started jogging! 'We' means me and three other roomies. Another is being a bourgeois and mocking us. Man, see you after we develop 6 packs out of the one big sack! Cry your hear out then! We started on a Sunday morning. 7:30. Late? Not by the standards of folkses who wakes up at 11 on a Sunday! Moreover, I felt an urgent need to educate my friend regarding the nature of a typical Indian and intolerance that exists among our people the night before that. After my rhetoric was over it was nearly 3. Anywho, we started towards the park. Walking. Some nasty dogs around our place. Didn't want to disturb their romantic antics. More on the dogs later. When we reached the park we found some construction going on there. Bad omen? We jogged towards another park. Pretty girl alert. We stopped. Panting like dogs. Not good. Started jogging away as fast as possible. "How many rounds are we going to run?", asked JC. "Me thinking...
I brought my PC from home last month and have been having a good time finally hearing some good music on my speakers. I run Ubuntu with no Windows installed. At the behest of my roomies and the greed to play games I finally installed Windows and things went crazy. Virus attack within hours forced me to do a reinstall! Cannot access Ubuntu since XP insists on overwriting the MBR. Tried all alternate methods. Finally had to download the Ubuntu CD. Now going to try my luck with it! Prayers people! Prayers! Thats what I want! P.S: Check out new gadgets. Though it takes some time to load, it won't affect the load time of the main posts. There is a gadget from iLike where you can listen to snippets of the Top 10 songs I have been hearing this week in Last.fm . Another feature is you can add your own songs to the gadget if you log in to the blog using Google FriendConnect. An incentive for signing up! The other gadget is from Blip.fm , in which you can listened to the last 5 songs I blip...

Change you can believe in!

There will be blood folks! I am taking this blog to the next level by writing more and changing the setup a little more. For that I am taking a look at what is to be added and what not. The current shoutbox became a little too spammy. So here is the new shout gadget from Google along with Friend Connect. Join the network using your Google account. I guess everyone should have one as its sort of like passport now! You can also comment anonymously if you want to troll and make my life miserable! Yeah, I can be a masochist at times! Thoughts behind this change? I had a brainwave that I need to write more! Now that I have Internet at home (although the system is down with a viral infection!) and lot of experiences worth writing, it will be criminal not to. So here you go, this will be change you can believe in!
