Long Live Google

Think ,one day you get up in the morning you have a very important project to do...you brush ur teeth, then log onto your computer try to open the the Google page..and you see nothing..nothing at all...no Google..you see a page which says "Google has be shut down"..Surely you would get a big shock isnt it??

Google one of the best thing that has happened to us....Today was going through a local news paper when I saw one of the cartoon by Morparia it read some thing like this..."a person is sitting in front of the computer which has Google page opened on it...and the search is on how to dispose bodies" it was based upon the recent murder that happened where a person was chopped to dead by a kanada actress and her boyfriend

At that time it just clicked me indeed Google has turned on as helpline for almost everything...you name it and you get the details regarding it through Google...
Right from schooling children to us to elderly generation.. for everyone Google has become a very important source of information.Feed and the key words and there you go...a gigantic source of information is pulled out...
The term Google has really become synonymous with research.
Me and my colleague were just talking that day about what will happen if Google will start charging for its services...
What would happen then would people actually stop using Google????its hard to do that dont you think...as for the fact we have become so use to goggling that i feel we would have paid for their services...There mite be chances that some other provider mite come into picture...but we all know how dependable Google is..
Heck there have been times when i dint have any thing to do and opened a Google page and started searching what ever came to mind...I bet most of them have done that too :-P
Long live Google and its service..

N95-here it comes

Finally the day arrived when I got my N95..had been saving money to get the 3rd generation symbian series for a long time....
The main feature behind me getting this cell was the large screen..Kinda have fetish towards large screens in mobiles.. how can we forget the iphone....My colleague had got it..and I just went bonkers over its screen and other feature..... it really gives that extra punch to the killer looks of the cell.
The WLAN is something which is really looking forward to use..wanna see if it gives the same visual effects as the iphone does...
The camera is just mind blowing..well it has to be rite with 5 megapixel it has to be the best.
really looking forward to having a real blast with this fone..
The swanky looks of the fone makes it a class apart...

Rhymes...too good

A grade 5 teacher one day asked the children in her class to make
rhymes with their names.

First up was Dan. A very adventurous child.
"My name is Dan,
When I grow up to be a man,
I want to go to India and Japan ,
If I can, If I can, If I can. "


"Very good", the teacher said to Dan. She then asked Sally that it
was now her turn.

"My name is Sally,
When I grow up to be a lady,
I want to have a baby
If I can, if I can, if I can. "


"That is good Sally," the teacher said. "But maybe one day you will
change your mind."

Next up was Glenn. He was the naughty one in the class. Here is his rhyme:

"My name is Glenn,
When I grow up to be a man,
Never mind India and Japan ,
I'm gonna help Sally with her plan,
I know I can, I can, I can. "
:O

Manchester United wins Champions league!!!!!

I am just not able to get my thoughts to put my feeling down in this post....U ask me y ..Well it’s just that Man U has won Champions League finals against Chelsea

After a whole lot of drama throughout the match the team that held its nerve won the finals...

Finally Sir Alex slammed all allegations made my Avram Grant.

The match was full on drama,right from the start where Ronalda scored[26 min] for the red's to the equalizer from Lampard[44 min].

Sir Alex dint shy away from giving some to the referee for making Man U wait after the half time as the blues came 2 mins late into the ground

As the 2nd half end came close things started to heat up and gave rise to a lot of small fights betweens both the teams

At 90+2 min: Peep! Peep! Peep! Went the whistle. I had Fasten my seat belts for extra-time. I don't know about others, but was thrilled. Grrr!

At around Et 23rd min we could see the player going down with cramps-Lampard, Hargreaves, Terry ... never mind that, there's a big handbags session involving about 18 players who are all arguing about the manner in which the ball should be put out of play when 14 different players drop with cramp at the same time

ET26 i guess was one of the most imp turning point for the match as Drogba was sent off for a tackle on Vidic and Chelsea was reduced to 10 men. as the clock was ticking I could sense that this match was going to penalty shout outs. And i was wondering how most of the champions league finals comes down to this...

Peep! Peep! Peep! went the whistle again, that's that. Penalties it was

Well nothing more to say just see the results of the penalties below

Tevez scores for Man United.

Ballack scores for Chelsea.

Carrick scores for Man United.

Belletti scores for Chelsea.

Ronaldo misses for Man United.[ Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty was dreadful there - he hesitated in his run-up, making it easy for Petr Cech to save from him]

Lampard scores for Chelsea.

Hargreaves scores for Man United.

Ashley Cole scores for Chelsea ... just about.

Nani scores for Man United.

John Terry ... MISSES for Chelsea.

SUDDEN DEATH

Anderson scores for Man United

Kalou ... scores for Chelsea.

Giggs ... scores for Man United.

Nicolas Anelka ... MISSES!!!

Manchester United win 6-5 on penalties

The presentation was made more fun as it was raining in Moscow

Rains Arrive

Finally I guess rain gods have arrived...It rained today our place today..and trust me it felt so good to see rains...primarily coz its being so hot lately that it has difficult to face it... morning just came out from a bath and saw out side only to see it was drilling...I could see the terrace of the neighboring building all wet...the pigeons ,crows and other birds taking a dip in the water which was collected near by..
The sky was divided into 2 halves one side was bright blue in colour and the other was cloudy...
Could hear small kids coming outside and playin in the rain...even i remembered the time when we were small We were told that it is gud to get wet in the first Rain...Don't know why...but as such dint really bother to ask the reason as we just wanted another reason to play in the rain..hehehe
I really felt so fresh when i saw it raining and felt the weather so cool..:-D

Apna dentist

2007 was the year that changed my outlook toward these dentists...Spent almost 6 months visiting this particular dentist...Ok people not that I had so many cavities..but this particular tooth of mine turned black...so went for a normal check up only to hear that the nerve was dead and thats the reason the tooth was growin black
Now i asked myself how can A nerve die by itself...she told me ki I mite have got hurt on that tooth and that is when the nerve died off....And I suddenly recollected this particular incident where i had gone for a cricket tournament where i had got hurt on the lip..and i guess that was when the nerve died
Now back to apna dentist...My first visit was on 26 th jan 07 and trust me it ended some where around in july 07
Almost 3 times a week i had to go der for treatment...something which i really hated as had to adjust all other plans...
RS use to always tease me sayin "dentist ko tere se pyar hua hai thats y she callin u again and again" and man I use to get mad when she use to say that.Coz everytime she called i use to say "iam sitting at the dentist"
The shop owners near her clinic must have though that I have taken membership at her place :-P
Every time when i use to ask her how many more sittings and her std answer would be"bas 3 to 4 then its done"
The best part of the Root canal was the pain less way she dealt with it..She has promised me that she will do a painless treatment and man she really did that..:-D
Now I just pray that i dont have any more tooth problem..only for the fact that dont wanna spend half my time visiting the clinic..

HOW TO RECRUIT THE center PERSON FOR THE JOB?

Put about 100 bricks in some Particular order in a closed Room with an Open window.

Then send 2 or 3 candidates in The room and close the door.

Leave them alone and come back After 6 hours and then analyze The situation.

If they are counting the Bricks. Put them in the accounts Department.

If they are recounting them.. Put them in auditing .

If they have messed up the Whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.

If they are arranging the Bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.

If they are throwing the Bricks at each other. Put them in operations ..

If they are sleeping. Put them in security.

If they have broken the bricks Into pieces. Put them in information Technology.

If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.

If they say they have tried Different combinations, yet Not a brick has Been moved. Put them in sales.

If they have already left for The day. Put them in marketing.

If they are staring out of the Window. Put them on strategic Planning.

And then last but not least my personal favorite. If they are talking to each Other and not a single brick
Has been Moved.



Congratulate them and put them In top management.

We always had fun pulling eachothers leg..most of the time the scape goat use to be deepti...Now when I sit back and recollect those days..I can still remember the topics on which we use to pull her leg...
It was long that we had actually met up in person,all 3 of us at one time...after work started for all 3..we have hardy had the time to catch up with each other.
After years,when we actually got the chance to catch up.Vins turned up to be the bakra,and somehow me and deeps fell on the same page and we both were chatin to vins and pulling his leg on the same topic...and man dint we have fun.
It was as if we had gone back in time and we were sitting in front of each other and talkin..that kinda TP we actually did.
Cheers to our relationship :-)

Little Manhatan















Little Manhattan a story about Gabe , 11 year old kid and his puppy love towards Rosemary.A very wonderfully put together movie.It just shows what kinda emotions Gabe goes through when he realizes that he likes Rosemary.

We all at one point or the other must have had our own share of relationships..and may try to shrug of this puppy love thing..but the truth is that it is true that each one has gone through that face....the movie just says that some situations helps us in facing wat ever challenges we mite get in future and it says that first love, puppy or otherwise, only happens once.
One quote from the movie which I really liked is this one

"Love is an ugly, terrible business practiced by fools. It'll trample your heart and leave you bleeding on the floor. And what does it really get you in the end? Nothing but a few incredible memories that you can't ever shake. The truth is there's gonna be other girls out there. I mean, I hope, but I'm never gonna get another first love. That one's always gonna be her"

I truly felt yes its indeed a fact..its the memories that really make a difference later in your life.

The youth grave

The thing that triggered this segment was a post which was done by my colleague about "A take on the continuing IITian suicides "

Recently a guy from my building committed suicide.....The reason for committing suicide well unknown.. but many said that as he hadn't fared well in his engineering exams and that was the reason for suicide..
Trust me when I came to know this was the reason I was very furious for the fact that he had to take such a drastic step...and why only coz he had flunked in some god damn paper.
Common people wake up , understand the importance of life....On one hand there thousands and thousand people who fight daily against all sort of diseases and illness to stay alive when they know that the time they have is very less..on the other, there are people who give up their life so easily...

Everyday when we open the news paper we come across at least 1 suicide case..and if you see carefully most of them are in the age group of 15 to 25 who commit suicide....People get a grip on yourself.
Why cant we face the heat?why do we scum to pressure so easily that the only way out we see is in suicide?

I really feel the one who commits suicide are big time selfish people.. you ask why?Well for the only fact that the person doesn't even think what will his/her family go through after this...
Parents work and scarify in all possible ways to see that the child doesn't have to go through any problems and wat they get a suicide note and the dead body of their child..
The parents who brought the child home when he/she was born,will have to go through the trauma of shouldering the dead body to the crematorium..is it really fair????Dont think i need to answer that.
If you see most of the people who commit suicide are ones who are use to getting things easily..and when they don't get it easily, this is the option they take ...

Somewhere found this quote "Suicide is not chosen; it happens when pain exceeds resources for coping with pain." do you really think this is true??I truly feel suicide is a choice that a person makes..even though there are times when we have to go under a lot of pain....But then why cant we make a choice to fight the pain and not wither against the pain.

Chetan Bhagat has said"If God wanted us to take our own life, he would have provided a power off button. He didn't, so have faith and let his plan for you unfold"

So let life unfold its self and lets keep faith in god..

I take a pause here
take care people and give due importance to your life :-)
