‘……….’ has me magnetized. Head over heels in love. Its taken me a year of knowing to realise that. We’ll be united, I hope. I’m going, one step at a time.

Not at all a Happy Independence Day

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with 4 Comments

Today, India celebrates its 60th Independence day. 60 years of freedom, from British rule. Ordinarily, this should have been a national holiday to enjoy this day. However, I am not. Matter of factly, am right now in office, staring into four computer screens, each running different tests. No independence for me from work today, since there is an urgent requirement.

Was so looking forward to a lazy Holiday morning and getting a few things sorted at home.
But alas, that was not to be. Movie in the evening, am so looking forward to that *touchwood*

Sidhuisms? - Gimme a break!

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with 1 Comment

I hate Navjot Sidhu’s commentating skills. Yeah, maybe he’s funny and all, but lets face it, I doubt he thinks before he says. Its more like he’s got this imaginary set of 100 or more sentences which he uses, irrespective of context.

I mean, sample this scenario. You’re reaching the railway station, Read it all..

Finally, I’ve got around to doing something that I wanted to. Delete my orkut profile, for the load of cowdung it had become. I’d added all and sundry, and frankly, Read it all..

Raju ki Aayegi baaraat!

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Work - Tags: with 3 Comments

This article made my day today, for whatever reason. I’ve been following this article in Mid-Day for the past 3 days, but today took the icing on the cake . I mean, what an anticlimax!
As an aside, is this not ‘inappropriate content‘ in media, as decided by our moral police? A question that has no single answer.
Worth a read or two…

Vaaji Vaaji Vaaji..

Sivaji

Oh well, I’m hooked onto Sivaji - The Boss’ music. Typical Rajnikant style music. Really crappy lyrics. A. R. Rahman simply does it with the beats. I can see why the album is breaking records all over the place.

Music is nowhere even 100km close to classy, but very very catchy..

sachin adicha sixer thaanda
sivaji adicha puncture thaanda
sigam kuda jujjubee thaanda
sivaji vaayil jilebi thaanda..

I need sleeep!!!!

Author: Ubertechnophile - Categories: Posts from Home - Tags: with 1 Comment

Flew into Delhi last morning, for a friend’s wedding. The flight I took was headed to London, and the plan was to take the same plane back, on its way back to Mumbai, via Delhi, today morning at about 9.30am.

Wedding awesome. Had a lot of fun. Reached the aiport at about 7.45am for a 9.30am flight, took my boarding card and cooling my heels now in the business class lounge. I’ve slept for about 6 hours in the last 48 hours, and I was looking forward to reaching home by 12.30 and hitting the sack.

But no! For some unconceiveble reason, the SAME flight that dropped me at Delhi and went to London, is delayed by about an hour on its way back from London, inspite of being on time on the way in.

So,

waiting…..borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring!

Media hate - The last nail in the coffin.

Yesteday morning, headlining DNA India, in big bold letters..

SAIF ALI KHAN SUFFERS HEART ATTACK.

After about half an hour, walking towards Chembur Station, I noticed a copy of Mid-Day in one of the stalls. Again, headlining..

SAIF HAD CHEST PAIN, NOT HEART ATTACK.

It was refreshing to see that the other newspapers carried a small snippet of this incident, though I really did not bother to scrounge through inside. Read it all..
