As a kid, all I wanted to do is, play guitar and jump around, too many people got into my way.

Books I have been reading recently:
The book is quite nice and explains practises of software programmers. How Projects succeed or fail and stuff.
I am reading it, so comments would follow.
A hilarious dilbert book about individhuals.
Call me that I was hiding under a rock, but I never really read the book and I done it recently.

There was poem somewhere on LiveJournal I hacked it to suit my own needs.
I crushed my cigarette out forlornly
and was taunted by the still-smoking butt,
and realized through a haze of snot and emo tears
that it was indicative of the snuffed-out dreams
of my wounded inner child
and unspoken fears
and hence i quit
to rejuvenate, to recuperate
to heal all the wounds
and to allay all those fears
at least, those still i could.Posted at 01:19 AM in fun | Permalink | Comments (1) | TrackBack (0)

Looks like good old days of Rock is back.The first half of this year saw many successful releases. Red Hot Chili Peppers released Stadium Arcadium, the album opened with #1 on US charts and #2 on UK charts. "Dani California" song is really good, the band portrays the history of rock through life of a girl. At 645/- it is a must buy for any Rock fan.The album features three CDz...probably it will take sometime before i can give proper review on this album.
Pearl Jam released their self-titled album "Pearl Jam".Probably this is the only surviving grunge band, that is still popular and haven't succumbed to the stupid demands of Music Studios.Did you know, once Kurt Cobain feared this band that it may become more popular than them. The album displays anger against establishment like all punk/grunge bands. "World Wide Suicide" is an attempt to use anti-war sentiment prevalent. Will checkout other tracks and comeback soon.
Godsmack released IV. Yup..just plain and simple IV. Yet another popular released, i guess opened as #1 on US charts. "Speak" and "Livin in Sin" are good.Sully Erna(lead) voice sounds cool.I mean the way..he sings slowly with fast music, truly amazes me.
Any missout guys? I am waiting for an Album from my favourite Radiohead and maybe if Linkin park will ever move their ass.

Somebody had a misconception and he said - “Hope is good”, well i completely disagree “Hope is actually great” . it gives you reason to smile , even when you are in great peril. So guys, i was very much “hopeful” before i came to Chennai. Now don’t jump the gun, and start guessing what was my “hope”..i would say “All in Good Time”. You know i am here , as an American will put it - “New Dude on the Block”, fresh out of college. First time “Actually” living in a Metro( not just passing by in a boring sleeper class). You know, i graduated from a college in Trichy. Not that college was bad or something..it was actually good but many of us had a notion that cows outnumbered girls in the campus. Though, whether many girls can be called girls was debatable, but yes for the shake of statistics we will keep it like that. So in a nutshell, for most of us, it was like Himalyas. Though hardly there were any Menkas , but those few Suparnkhas were cause of many Mahabhartas. Now as i hardly fit for a WWF figher, so i mostly abstained from this wild goose chase. But when i got this offer letter from Cognizant, well my heart was filled with joy and “Hope”. I think you have guessed it, nah not that hope of a first job,first salary blah blah. But actually hope that, i am going to live in a metro, where there will be many girls and “hopefully”… alas hopefully….
So here i am, back to square one.. with all my hope. I keep my doors open, like the old tradition of keeping house doors open so Lakshmi may come. I have done all that was in my capacity, but alas, my hope still eludes me. Was very attentive and enthusiastic during induction program and listened to all the questions that had a female voice attached ,but alas God has strange way of playing tricks on me.Soon i found out that, all the good chicks were busy messaging their boyfriends, only those few without a boyfriend and obviously without …. were actually listening and asking questions. And those still few left were being chased like celebrities.
Someone gave me this idea that many mod girls go to pub. So i went to one, soon i found that, i was out casted for my incompetency of being without a girlfriend and was thrown “up”(Bikes ans Barrels). I thought of telling that fella on the door(do we have a term for him?), that let me in boy.. if you wont let me try, how will i succeed! Need i tell more? I spend rest of the evening washing my wounds with as much Vodka as i can get. Guys,We had a college T-Shirt that proclaimed 99% of girls are beautiful and rest all are in my college. Well you can say that for my company now. Chennai as a whole doesn’t fair better either. Boy..i came, i saw and i feel dejected( not rejected yet). Then i saw these naughty posters floating around - “Babes day out”. i rubbed my eyes twice and pinched myself. “Babes?”. Nah.. they mean babies..or a wait minute, do they have some secret vault that is going to open. i thought an invitation will come to attend the event. Since, i live very close to the ECR road, i was very anxious. Created a filter setting in the outlook so that it doesn’t get lost in the regular trash that i receive. But nothing came. Then “the day” came and went as every other day. I was thinking all day - those few lucky ones ,who got invitation,must be enjoying there at ECR road. Then last week i saw several pictures of the event, again in the regular trash that i receive, including the honorable magazine that you are reading. I zoomed and zoomed the PDF and kept searching for pretty faces but no avail. If there was any hope left, it was if not dashed but certainly appreciably sized down by this fiasco of “Babes day out”. So yeah guys, hope is great. You see.. i still have “hope”( there is another pervert/obvious reason of saying this). Now that i am used to the charm of Metro and would like my dusty Patna or cow infested REC Trichy back, i can’t have it. Yet i have hope, that someday.. somewhere..
