Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

After a considerably long period of time, my house is being painted. It all started with the door. One of our front doors (we have two! :-P) has been a dead state for some time now. Finally, after a seamlessly endless debate and my threat to try my strength on it, forced my father to hire some carpenters and make a new door. The new one was made. But now the front doors looked a world apart. So we painted the other door as well. Now both the doors stick out and became quite an eyesore to a not so gracefully aged painted walls. Thats *not* pretty much the backstory on the decision. Earlier also we had been discussing the painting thing and my parents sort of decided to do the painting when I get married. After seeing me ROTFL upon hearing this and my constant sneer and contempt when potential ladies are thrown in our conversation, must have made them decide the painting has to be done now. So yours truly is quite relieved to say the least. No one will blame him for not allowing his pare...

Happened to read Silverine's post regarding the placement time in Kerala and about a relative being to unhappy that her daughter was placed only at a company in Technopark . I was appalled after reading the comments predicting doomsday for those staying in Kerala. Granted there are not many companies as we can see in Bangalore or Hyderabad or Chennai, but it is totally unreasonable to say that there is no hope for the Kerala IT sector. I work in a software product company in Technopark and I see a lot of things happening. To equate the political system with the IT sector in Kerala is total rubbish. The government can and should do a lot of things, but in spite of the minimal support the fact is that we are developing. En route to office, travelling through the bypass, I see the sprawling lands taken up for the new Infosys campus. There are rumors of some dispute regarding the land allocation, but it will be coming up in the near future. There is a small bit of land taken up for the...

I was browsing through my old archives and found an old music tag that I had done. Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm and then answer some questions.

Couple of additions to the blog! Couple of new widgets from Last.fm . One list my top artists of the month and the second is a music player playing the songs I have playlisted. Player can either play the songs in their entirety in a shuffled mode or you can individually select the songs. In the latter event only a 30 second clipping will be played. Only a few soft songs has been selected for your auditory pleasure ;-) No hard rockers or heavy metal stuff! And oh yeah! I turned 23 a couple of days back! So happy birthday to me! Rock On...

It was about time... Rockus looks like a brute and at times down right menacing! Someone who rides a H.O.G or a J.C.B ! :-P Reality...He has ridden/driven: 1. Suzuki Samurai at the Age of 15 (4 Yards) 2. Honda Activa at the Age of 21 (40 Yards) 3. Maruti 800 at the Age of 8 (400 Yards...if you count holding the steering as driving :-D) The Ek Karod ka Sawaal! What? Why? Why not? (granted there is three...but the booty is large enough to justify it!) 1. He doesn't like meddling with others stuff... 2. He didn't have time for driving classes... 3. He was just plain lazy to learn since he couldn't afford to buy a bike... Now... Staring at a Bullet (with apprehension and a pair of very scared parents!) P.S: In short, I started taking driving lessons and doing quite ok. Just hope the pedestrians feel the same too! :-P

Just sitting here screaming on top of my voice along with Ozzy Osbourne (Paranoid is the song fyi) makes me wonder...how my neighbours are standing this unearthly sounds at this ungodly hour??? People are strange...me, you, everybody... I always wondered, how easily some people make conversation and drag on for hours...and here I am, just able to converse enough to save my life! Its a crappy feeling sometimes...still...people are different... I used to be very worried about the same thing when I was younger. Thought of myself as a loser and was too shy to do anything...I have changed over the period of time and feels pretty smug about myself these days! Even then I couldn't feel reminiscing about the days when I hear "How soon is now?" by The Smiths...A remarkable song indeed... This is a video from Youtube featuring a sitcom called Charmed. Apparently Charmed features a cover version of the song and people decided to do one with the original song...Anyways enjoy the grea...

First of all, my sincere apologies to a particular girl whom I named in my blog in a not so great context (albeit some 18 months ago...) If the lady wishes, I will take down that particular section...Anyway thanks for visiting my blog! And thank you for not taking it negatively... I was a young and restless brat then! Now I am older and wiser! :-P Couple of lessons learned here... 1. Don't name strangers in your blog thinking they don't exist! 2. Blog is a permanent record...A mark left is a mark left.(atleast for me...) P.S: If you have no idea what I am talking about...the better!
