It was the same day a decade back when i was 15 or so (8th June 1999 India vs Pakistan world cup), when i saw the Little master batting for the first time in front of me, yes he might have started playing well before that day but my fate i was not matured enough to adore him till then....
( If i adore the pakistan cricket team for some reasons, the major one would be the passion that they have triggered in the minds of the people from both these countries (India and Pakistan), but for them, i am not sure if this sport would have reached this height even after a decade from now. )
" 2 more potato Bajjis ...." as i placed my order, i got a kick from my dad reminding me of my maths tuition....what on earth can be more humiliating when India is fighting against pakistan and one has to go out to attend his maths class ???? As mentioned, i am still not a well known fan of Sachin but a die hard fan of the Indian team.... As always i paid respect to those kicks from my dad and continued watching the match lols.
four and a six both in the same over and thats it, no more tuition for the day - decision taken finally and one more hit on my forehead for the same and i continued watching the match.... one more four and i took this as a present from the master for my birthday which was the day next.... and the story goes on....
Coming back to the square numbered one, how many stories will we all be having similar to this one said above? a ton, a trillion, etc etc and no one can count it....every individual in this country be it a youngster or an old retired army general, each of them will be having tons and tons of similar stories where they have adored Sachin for his batting and grace.....and ironically the numbers of these stories multiply to several folds when it comes to how many times have each one of us screwed / disgustingly scolded the same little master when he let us down each and every time we thought he would win the match for us....so will he be flying on cloud number 9 for the latter or digging himself in shame for the later ones????
so lesson # 1 from the master : The whole world around you is not what they think about you, but what you think about them.... If you pay respect to someone's comments about you or your personality, the end of your growth starts then.... Little has Sachin ever worried about reports from magazines or public comments when ever he let us down, but he has never failed to prove that his come backs are even powerful than the previous ones.... "Yanai vizhundha ezhundhuka time agum, nan kudhurai, saattuu nu ezhundhuduven..." This is my thalaivar's epilogue on his chandramukhi's inagural speech (yet another personality i adore for his attitudes )
When its nice to be such a big public icon, its terribly worse when fate takes you at times in the wrong directions where you got to face the mass under unavoidable circumstances. What attitude within this little brain gives him the power to blast through the impact of other's opinions on him or his life style?
"It has been fantastic having a ringside view of this journey, watching a cricketer, and a person, grow. But one thing hasn't changed. He still approaches every game like a child would a bar of chocolate, feeling happy and fortunate"
One single line to show why he is undisturbed is this, he sees every single game as a new encounter and tries to enjoy the opportunity given to him. For people who dont know much about spinal injuries and problems, i have seen my dad and uncle suffer from this chronic illness throughout their career and its really hard to make both the ends meet with this pain on your back literally anytime you sit or stand by yourself.... and how in this world did this guy play 2 decades of evergreen cricket? the truth is everytime he gets into the field, even if he feels the slightest disturbance on his back, he gets a a shot of painkiller from his physio to ensure that he does not dissapoint the crowd or his own desire to hit a century on that particular day. what an attitude? how many of us are this dedicated to what we do or what we do to others in our life?
We are definitely put to shame every day this little master performs.... It is definitely not an easy task for anyone to become the worlds greatest cricketer ever and to retain this crown of thorns all over his life.... To my knowldege, any great book of cricket can only teach us how to play a cover drive, but a person when he sees this master play a cover drive instantly thinks of this is how a cover drive must be. no book can ever teach someone or no coach can ever coach someone to become an another little master....
to be honest, even Sachin cannot coach another Sachin in his life time, its only one Sachin that god was able to create for one reason, its not all about just cricket that makes a person called sachin, but the qualties and attitudes in this little person that makes this big sachin. So even if God creates an another Sachin, not sure if that replica will be able to replicate these qualities and character too.
Scoring more marks than your friends, bagging recognitions admist your colleagues, being richer than your friends, being smarter and able to flirt well than your opponents, etc etc, when such childish/not so worthy stuffs can bring pride into our lives, right from 2005 till now, i have seen this little master almost break atleast one international record per series that he plays for India and i really adore this tremendous power within himself which controls the take over of pride over him and thats one simple reason why he is still able to play the same way he played 2 decades ago....
Each and every time he scores a century, we tend to make this statement cooly that " i think the sachin of 90's is back ....blah blah" but little do we do to forget the fact that he is still the same little master and its we who tend to change according to situations and series....
One little thought that these great personalities like our little master and our super star pass on is the same "Never let success go above your head or failure go below your feet, always keep them both behind you so that you still go in search of them and let them come behind you if they still want to...."

Can they do it ????
Kirsten does think that India can reach the #1 spot in the ODI team rankings soon....But is that a dream gonna come true or a reality gonna become a dream????
Mon Sep 14th : 2:00 PM
Its post lunch session of the day's innings....Things moving on very slowly, atmosphere not so energetic, no cheers from the crowd (no crowds at all infact), errors and warnings here and there.....
you read it right, i am talking about how i work at office during this part of the day....and not about the finals between India and Srilanka :)
normally i tend to feel sleepy during this part of the day as i totally sit idle right from morning till this part of the day...just kidding :) but what ever i do, i am not able to control my sleep from disturbing my work when it comes to post lunch session....
Any remedies???? as i walked past the corridor, i saw people playing games on their IPhones....reading blogs, listening to Songs but none of them were sleeping like me lols...probably its my way of relaxing....but i cannot afford to sleep during office hours like how i used to do in my old company lols....
i continued climbing down the staircase (7 floors i climb down and climb back daily during this sleepy session to see if i can get away from sleeping at office ;) )
Can mental toughness or will power let you win when you need to? Don't you need to be also good at what you are doing? Dhoni somehow defies all theories everytime he comes into the ground.....When he has not even one orthodox cricketting shot under his banner, he can literally play any carrom board player (ha ha mendis lols) with so much of ease when the whole world says carrom board bowling is so tough to play lols.....
Can sheer determination pave way to formidable success? With my back pain which i get rarely, i am not even able to bend down and pick my pair of glasses and how come this guy with severe back complications throughout his life keep climbing up the ladder to success???? Now gimme a break, dont temme that you dont know that i am talking about sachin now :)
Will someone be able to shrine even after having his feet over his head and words over his nose???? its Yuvi guys....despite of so many controversies and complaints on his personal side, how is he still able to officially declare himself such a fit player when he does his job with perfection every single day he comes into the ground????
I have not seen many bowlers who keep going to the MRF pace foundation year on year and still keep learning but never display lols....Nehra under dhoni somehow gives his best...how come???? even if he turns back and bowls towards the pavillion, the batsmen by mistake throws his bat over the stumps and gets himself "Hit - Out" lols.....Bowling also works out for our Indian Captain he he....
When the doosras from Harbhajan are doubted for their angles, when when sachin could not chew a chewing gum of his choice, when in a game where throwing the cricket bats (inzy) is considered to be out of anger whereas words from Ghambir's mouth are considered as bullets from a Gun.....i really wonder how the ICC can close their eyes when a bowler is very clearly and without mistake bowling side arms ( Malinga )....do they really know how difficult it would be as a batsman to watch a bowler do that? totally intolerable.... Poor Muttiah and Bhajji attend atleast one hearing session an year for their bowling actions where they are measured against a restricted 7 degree inclined angle of delivery, i am not sure how this bowler is awarded man of the match at times lols.... Hear it from me, one day or the other while he is bowling, he is going to hit the ears of the standing umpire so hard that there would be a need for change of ball right in the 1st over itself lols ;)
Is there a team now who our Indian cricketers are afraid of???? not that i know...Aussies lost their way almost years ago and from the day we bet them, they have prepared themselves to withstand failure against any team now lols....NewZealand,Srilanka,Pakistan ....who who can do it????? I dont see any hurdle in achieving what Kirsten is dreaming off atleast as of now....
unless luck totally reverses directions and Dhoni becomes the senior president of Indian Selection commitee and we go in search of a new Captain again lols ;)
Phew, climbing seven floors is not that easy and thinking this much while climbing is even more difficult lols....
But i sincerely adore the way Dhoni and his team is doing the job now and pray for all success to come on to their way as they really deserve what they are getting today.... :)
Chalo, let me get back to work and cya soon bye....

Did we really get Independence????
"This post might bring in controversies from all directions but i am still trying to bring in my views here not for denying someone's outlet of his/her views but for the simple fact that ....When one cannot cast his/her vote 100%, when one cannot get a connection to his favorite cable tv operator, when one cannot join a company with out a bond in place( when bonds for labor are prohibited), when one cannot talk openly to his manager (gets screwed in the next appraisal), when one could not write or pen down his views on a public magazine (unless his views are totally personal and not with respect to the leaders), when one cannot question the government as to why his area does not have water connection, when an employee cannot even have the luxury of spending his time with his families at least over the weekends, when it takes 2 years to get a metro water connection for your house where you are paying water tax right from your birth, when you don't have the liberty to name your film in the language of your choice, when you don't have the freedom of scoring a state first just because you did not study a native language, when the best president ever in history could not get his second term while the rest can enjoy life terms together i feel its totally ridiculous to just sit back and relax, eating popcorn, minting money in an Industry where all that you know is just work, paying taxes and sitting back and watching a movie, working and earning for a different nation other than yours, just because you can afford to get a driving license without knowing how to drive, and at last just for the sake of showing ourselves to be highly patriotic, we comment that we have got independence and we have all rights and freedom in our country."
Note:
I feel this is the only place where we have the freedom to write cause either no one reads this or who reads it cares a shit about your views :)..... (This is my first post which i finished in just one big line without any breaks ;))....I think all shouts for freedom dont have breaks in between....Satham illada thanimai keten blah blah blah.... :D lols ;)
Its not that i am not patriotic, but i would rather say that the independence that was there for just a few years after 1947 is now not there....I am not sure if someone can deny this fact for just the sake of winning an argument for their side.

That's Life in US....
As the clock stuck 12, day has started rightly for our Indian Bachelor in US.....Its 12 in the night, thats when most of the indian bachelors in US start their work....
"Hi machi how r u doing?, Work is as boring as it can be da, and how about your work?. I can bet mine is the worst da :)...blah blah and it goes on for one more hour"....
For some reason, life in US for indian bachelors is strange, not all get into a routine 9 to 9 schedule, life only starts by 12 in the midnight (when one cannot say its the previous day's hang over or the next day's start over ;) )
And the last thing a guy in this time can tell is he is still single, man believe me he is having the worst time in his life right in front of him. To kill a person would be more easier now for him rather than killing time. Thanks to Buyukkokten (for those of you who dont know him, he found Orkut ;)), but for him guys here would really die. Searching for profiles in Orkut and saying "Hi h r u doin.....mind being my friend?, etc" can kill another 1 hour from his night life.....
So what next?. by this time its already 2 in the midnight....Some close friends or dear ones who he thinks are close ones 4 him...(Poor guy, the reality might be they might not even remember him once in a day ;) ), will be called to just say a Hi, when the person at the other end will be rushing to hang up the phone to say "Sorry yar i am busy right now talk 2 u later"....Ha Ha, can he believe that life can be so painful?. (Thanks to calling cards, they made his life cheaper atleast ;)).... At 3 in the early morning (i must stop calling it even mid night, its already almost dawn ;) ).....all that he can now do is go to youtube in search of some songs while in paralel he grabs a pack of chips and a soda. (chips and soda make a good Combo to make such a Dumbo an even more fatter Jumbo :D)....
Alarm now rings for the 20th time that fine morning and there are no more chances left out to snooze it again(Mobile manufacturers need to realize that snoozing for just 20 times is not enough for an IB in Us ;) who knows our hero might be working in one of those companies too ;)).....With no other option left out, he pulls himself out from his bed at 9 in the morning.....Its a good practice to daily look at something good in front of you daily in the morning.....right na????....So guess what?. for any Indian bachelor in US ( i am gonna use the nick IB in US from here on, Indian Bachelor in US .... :D), his laptop will be his 1st idol which he has to worship before he can even brush his teeth.....So mails flowing out of his inbox, & what next?. Its always a game where you daily need to decide whether to check ur parents mail or your in-laws mail (lols ;) FYI.... parents are your parent companies and inlaws are your client companies to whom you are sold ;) ) and as always both never go in hand with each other.....If for your parents, you are bad, then for your inlaws, you are the worst lols ; and the same applies for u too ;)...If ur parents can torture u, ur inlaws can screw u lols :D....).....
So by this time, the milk in the oven is already flowing out ...... (but no worries, this happens only at times, and for the rest, the milk would have become cold again ;))......so with a cup of coffee, the next one hour goes to read through all mails....
"Hey dude, wassup?. can u follow up with this issue by COB?."....."Hey machi, you need to call this tester and make sure he gives the steps to reproduce this issue....."....."hi, its time to close your appraisal, failing to do so will delay your peanuts......(Hikes;))......."
COB for those of you who are not from IT industries (even for some of u who are in this industry and use this daily without even knowing what it stands for ;)), is Closure of Business and our AIM will only be to really bring closure to business after seeing the peanuts that we get ha ha....Nice to laugh but painful to realize....
When its 11, with a tooth brush in side his mouth, his shaving razors in one hand (its a rule that u need to shave daily when u r working in ur client location otherwise no one will be able to identify u as all ur client engineers will be bearing a frenchie, :) now dont ask me why the rule for us alone then, thats how rules are here ;) )....and a Bluetooth headset around his ears, "yes Tony, u r right, the blade needs to be changed (for ur shave????lols;)) , oops i mean the cutting edge ends that we use in our design methodologies and the design patterns blah blah.......Why the hell should he open his mouth with so many accesories around him and then talk for the next 15 minutes to cover up his blunder?.ha ha.... Can't he put it in mute and complete his activities?. That's next, as his most important call for the day would have started when he is in his standing shower......So with the loudspeakers turned on in his phone, and the phone in perfect Mute mode, he can relax a bit to take his showers off.....(Man, is it not crazy to not even have enough time to take a peaceful bath?.)....
By the time he finishes the last spoon of his cereals (Corn flakes in india are known as Cereals in US ;))....., his roomie will now be shouting outside as he is already late to office.....Another curse for IBs in US will be that they cant afford a Car or a house seperately and have to pool around with whomever they meet.....(Who will give a car or a house for peanuts?????.....lols.... )
"Good morning james, hope ur day is good so far....." (What's so good about this morning when you people are here to kill me......This is what James might be thinking of our Hero ;)"....and its 11:30 in the morning when we reach office, so what next?.
Buyukkokten comes into picture again....;)....don't ask me when he went off the picture ;))....So 25 scraps from 23 unknown people......"Do i know u?."...."Who are you?."...."What do u want from me????"....etc will be some of the replies for his "Hi, can i be ur friend" kinda scraps which he tried last night.....So next one hour will go in thinking of new plans and strategies that need to be deployed in tonight's scrap attempts ;)....."IGoogle" is the next target, (This can better be renamed as "I Always Google" ;)....), what ever social networking tool that our hero uses, Google comes into picture.....(For those of you who dont know about IGoogle, its a Google gadgets home page where u can add all messengers that u need in the form of gadgets there by allowing u to chat freely without need for proxies :)......I am gonna be the official marketing person for them ;))....Our Hero has a dozen of friends online in GTalk who are eagerly waiting for updates from him.....(this list also contains dear people to our Hero who forget about him totally daily and he keeps reminding them every now and then using his calling cards lols ;) )....
Oops, Client meeting at 12 and status report is yet to be prepared.....Our Hero's Status report must actually contain....
"3 new clients (orkutans) successfully added to the client list, 4 proposals rejected (orkutans who r not intrested in u), 5 new proposals to be done (with new ideas that have come in today's brainstorming session.... lols ;))....and so on...."
but the status report will contain....
"3 CRs fixed, 4 CRs resolved, 5 CRs open blah blah....we are working really hard and pushing towards reaching Zero CRs by End of this week etc etc" (CRs are issues raised against defects in ur code, norms acceptable are 100 CRs per 100 Lines of code with each line containing not more than a semi colon and an If statement ha ha).....
Soon the Status Meeting starts & the most important & highly awaited event opens up...Guess what???? The Coffees are taken (lols,believe me, most of them in that hall would attend this meeting only for this event cause in most of the client sites, coffees are paid drinks ;) & for your information, Black Coffee is the only best alternative that you would get here to Black Tea ;), Again its the ironical comparison of ur parent's company to ur inlaw's company ha ha....) Half Asleep Hero keeps himself inside the game by every now andd then adding "Ya i agree...", "Oops, no that would be costly...", "Ya i will have to plan for staffing etc etc....".....There will be some one at offshore who will definitely hate this OC for many reasons among which his professional statements like "No Issues", "Not a prob" etc will be the top rated ones ha ha..... (I think the concerned person reading the last statement above must realize that its them lols ;) )....
Alas, task executed successfully, and a victorious OC (Onsite Coordinator) will now compose a big essay in the name of MOM (Minutes of the meeting which went on for hours, then why do people call it as minutes of meeting, should it not be hours of meetings?. ...lols....).....this one big MOM will fetch 100 peanuts more to our proud OC when his next appraisal comes ha ha.....This is what they call as working for Peanuts....;)
Our super hero will now remember that something is eating him up to tell him that he has to eat something up......Lunch?. Shit, thats something which he left behind in his dining table back in his room......What the hell can he do man?. A man all alone performing so many stunts when he gets ready to office needs to forget atleast his lunch right?????......(Now no one can dare to ask him why he slept so late in the night.......He is not to be blamed, he did sleep as early as possible in the morning atleast ha ha :D....
"Can i ask my roomie to drop me back at my room to bring my lunch back?. ".....he can only think of this, cause any roomie (including u or me ) will kick his A** if he wants us to take us back so far to just bring his box of maggi that this idiot cooked right from early morning 10:00 when the milk was paralelly flowing out from the over ;).....
Dooms day....Now comes the worst fact that our super hero will unveil immediately.... Getting a job in Google or Microsoft is easier than Being a Veggie in US ha ha.....What are the options that you can get in a restaurant here?. A burger for a veggie will be a burger with no meat but with Fish (Its a fact that no meat here does not mean no fish ha ha i dont really understand the meaning of this statement in this place ....:))....A garden burger is the technically fit term to be used by a Veggie IB in US which will fetch him a slice of cheesse, half a slice of onion and half a slice of tomato (No patties as patties have meat here) stuffed in between a so called bun.....with this garden burger, our hero has to move the rest of his noon session ha ha......(Trust me, u will definitely feel like getting horns if u eat such things here :D)....Just kidding, our hero is right back from his nutritious lunch.....
What next?????....Don't tell me "Buyukkokten Returns"...ha ha i will kill u man...."A small nap after a lunch has technically proven to have increased the work effiiciency of employees"....I dont know who provides our hero such facts, but he is already fully asleep comfortable lying on his desk with musical notes coming out of his poor laptop....(some one has to save his laptop by moving his hands out of it which are pressing the buttons unnecessarily, but what to do, these are the only times when our hero uses most of the keys in his laptop ha ha......)....
Tea time after a nap is the best option one can find out, and play time would be the next best option after tea time....Table Tennis pro and billiards champion..our super hero..( dont ask me how he can learn so many things..... if you are as jobless as he is, you would have won the Grand master Title by this time..ha ha ;)) gets into the ground....
After an hour's tough play, Second victory for the day comes across our super hero...He finally would have managed to win his opponent who would be a poor 1st time IB in US, but that's ok by practise its possible.....Probably if he follows our hero's foot steps, he might become a better hero in the near future ;)....(1st victory for those of you who forgot after reading such a big blog, was his MOM or rather MOH ;))....a proud indian after his victory returns back to his cubicle....
100's of mails from 1000's of consultants keep flowing into his inbox....."Sir, we were pleased to see ur profile in our job portal, we have this opening Blah Blah....etc etc"......All gates open for our hero but none allows him to go through them....:).....Either they ask him something that he does not know, or he tells them something that they do not want to know lols....Net is, another day passes by without success in his hunt to jump into an US company ;)....
Amidst these junk, some official ones do drop into his inbox....
"Important CR drive down, by EOD i need status on all these issues......Blah Blah Blah Blah..." This is not the 1st time it would have happened. its a medically,technically,scientifically (all lly's u wanna add can fit in here as an adjective ;)...) proven fact that for all IBs in US, the most important and critical task for his day would come to his desk only by EOD and the important thing would be that all of them would need closure also by EOD....ha ha"........
What will this poor guy do now?. Cruel in-laws asking a newly wed daugher - in - law to cook meal for the whole family when the fact is the gal knows only how to boil tea (even this, she knows only to prepare for max. 2 people, more than that proportions always go wrong ha ha, probably she might know how to prepare bread-butter-jam in a better way (Concerned Reader is gonna kill me :D))....:(....and parents in this case are really helpless as they have literally sold the gal to the inlaws :(....Hope by this time, u all understand the whole story behind this para ;)....
The only person who can help this poor guy is the super hero himself....
Even now, our proud IB in US will not be sulky, u know why????????.....his EOD is only by 3 in the early morning....ha ha so he has all his time in this world to take care of these important useless tasks ins his inbox.....
With not much of impact, mentally and physically the same Hero goes back home to grab a pack of chips and a soda and starts his work....
now don't ask me what's his work man, its the same...."Hey hi, i am so & so...., nice meeting u here, i found u in the singles community Blah Blah ....ha ha"....Hails to orkut which single handedly drives-in the lives & motivations of all Single IBs in US....ha ha.....
"And guess wat?. by this time u must have understood that our IB in US is a Proud single, Socially non-smoking, officially and unofficially non-Drinking, Ethically pure and divine Thair Sadham (Curd Rice as they say ;))......" ....ha ha, then how the hell can he kill his time in US, if not the way described above lols ;)....
Disclaimer: This blog is purely imaginary and just brought out as a Fairy tale for the enjoyement of my readers......and the term parents and inlaws r referred only to mean companies and not the actual relations ;) If my future inlaws get to read this post, i think i stand an even better chance of not winning their gal....ha ha.... (So those of you who are interested in giving a referal for me inside ur family pls dont take the risk of circulating this post within ur family ;), again concerened person must be aware that i am pointing to them in this last statement above ha ha....Guys, dont post comments asking me who r the concerned persons who come every now and then in this post lols ;) )
Thanks all for patiently going through my post....See u soon ;) (Now dont ask me if i spent my noon in office to bring out this post ha ha, but u r right :D....I wrote this Blog at one single stretch but edited it almost 12 times to correct the mistake in it ;)....Being a professional IB in US, what ever i type (Blogs or codings), i make a minimum of 100 errors per 100 lines of delivery ha ha....lols..........bye.....
"Hi machi how r u doing?, Work is as boring as it can be da, and how about your work?. I can bet mine is the worst da :)...blah blah and it goes on for one more hour"....

Searching for profiles in Orkut and saying "Hi h r u doin.....mind being my friend?, etc" can kill another 1 hour from his night life.....
So what next?. by this time its already 2 in the midnight....Some close friends or dear ones who he thinks are close ones 4 him...(Poor guy, the reality might be they might not even remember him once in a day ;) ), will be called to just say a Hi, when the person at the other end will be rushing to hang up the phone to say "Sorry yar i am busy right now talk 2 u later"....Ha Ha, can he believe that life can be so painful?. (Thanks to calling cards, they made his life cheaper atleast ;)).... At 3 in the early morning (i must stop calling it even mid night, its already almost dawn ;) ).....all that he can now do is go to youtube in search of some songs while in paralel he grabs a pack of chips and a soda. (chips and soda make a good Combo to make such a Dumbo an even more fatter Jumbo :D)....
Alarm now rings for the 20th time that fine morning and there are no more chances left out to snooze it again(Mobile manufacturers need to realize that snoozing for just 20 times is not enough for an IB in Us ;) who knows our hero might be working in one of those companies too ;)).....With no other option left out, he pulls himself out from his bed at 9 in the morning.....Its a good practice to daily look at something good in front of you daily in the morning.....right na????....So guess what?. for any Indian bachelor in US ( i am gonna use the nick IB in US from here on, Indian Bachelor in US .... :D), his laptop will be his 1st idol which he has to worship before he can even brush his teeth.....So mails flowing out of his inbox, & what next?. Its always a game where you daily need to decide whether to check ur parents mail or your in-laws mail (lols ;) FYI.... parents are your parent companies and inlaws are your client companies to whom you are sold ;) ) and as always both never go in hand with each other.....If for your parents, you are bad, then for your inlaws, you are the worst lols ; and the same applies for u too ;)...If ur parents can torture u, ur inlaws can screw u lols :D....).....
So by this time, the milk in the oven is already flowing out ...... (but no worries, this happens only at times, and for the rest, the milk would have become cold again ;))......so with a cup of coffee, the next one hour goes to read through all mails....
"Hey dude, wassup?. can u follow up with this issue by COB?."....."Hey machi, you need to call this tester and make sure he gives the steps to reproduce this issue....."....."hi, its time to close your appraisal, failing to do so will delay your peanuts......(Hikes;))......."
COB for those of you who are not from IT industries (even for some of u who are in this industry and use this daily without even knowing what it stands for ;)), is Closure of Business and our AIM will only be to really bring closure to business after seeing the peanuts that we get ha ha....Nice to laugh but painful to realize....
When its 11, with a tooth brush in side his mouth, his shaving razors in one hand (its a rule that u need to shave daily when u r working in ur client location otherwise no one will be able to identify u as all ur client engineers will be bearing a frenchie, :) now dont ask me why the rule for us alone then, thats how rules are here ;) )....and a Bluetooth headset around his ears, "yes Tony, u r right, the blade needs to be changed (for ur shave????lols;)) , oops i mean the cutting edge ends that we use in our design methodologies and the design patterns blah blah.......Why the hell should he open his mouth with so many accesories around him and then talk for the next 15 minutes to cover up his blunder?.ha ha.... Can't he put it in mute and complete his activities?. That's next, as his most important call for the day would have started when he is in his standing shower......So with the loudspeakers turned on in his phone, and the phone in perfect Mute mode, he can relax a bit to take his showers off.....(Man, is it not crazy to not even have enough time to take a peaceful bath?.)....
By the time he finishes the last spoon of his cereals (Corn flakes in india are known as Cereals in US ;))....., his roomie will now be shouting outside as he is already late to office.....Another curse for IBs in US will be that they cant afford a Car or a house seperately and have to pool around with whomever they meet.....(Who will give a car or a house for peanuts?????.....lols.... )
"Good morning james, hope ur day is good so far....." (What's so good about this morning when you people are here to kill me......This is what James might be thinking of our Hero ;)"....and its 11:30 in the morning when we reach office, so what next?.
Buyukkokten comes into picture again....;)....don't ask me when he went off the picture ;))....So 25 scraps from 23 unknown people......"Do i know u?."...."Who are you?."...."What do u want from me????"....etc will be some of the replies for his "Hi, can i be ur friend" kinda scraps which he tried last night.....So next one hour will go in thinking of new plans and strategies that need to be deployed in tonight's scrap attempts ;)....."IGoogle" is the next target, (This can better be renamed as "I Always Google" ;)....), what ever social networking tool that our hero uses, Google comes into picture.....(For those of you who dont know about IGoogle, its a Google gadgets home page where u can add all messengers that u need in the form of gadgets there by allowing u to chat freely without need for proxies :)......I am gonna be the official marketing person for them ;))....Our Hero has a dozen of friends online in GTalk who are eagerly waiting for updates from him.....(this list also contains dear people to our Hero who forget about him totally daily and he keeps reminding them every now and then using his calling cards lols ;) )....
Oops, Client meeting at 12 and status report is yet to be prepared.....Our Hero's Status report must actually contain....
"3 new clients (orkutans) successfully added to the client list, 4 proposals rejected (orkutans who r not intrested in u), 5 new proposals to be done (with new ideas that have come in today's brainstorming session.... lols ;))....and so on...."
but the status report will contain....
"3 CRs fixed, 4 CRs resolved, 5 CRs open blah blah....we are working really hard and pushing towards reaching Zero CRs by End of this week etc etc" (CRs are issues raised against defects in ur code, norms acceptable are 100 CRs per 100 Lines of code with each line containing not more than a semi colon and an If statement ha ha).....
Soon the Status Meeting starts & the most important & highly awaited event opens up...Guess what???? The Coffees are taken (lols,believe me, most of them in that hall would attend this meeting only for this event cause in most of the client sites, coffees are paid drinks ;) & for your information, Black Coffee is the only best alternative that you would get here to Black Tea ;), Again its the ironical comparison of ur parent's company to ur inlaw's company ha ha....) Half Asleep Hero keeps himself inside the game by every now andd then adding "Ya i agree...", "Oops, no that would be costly...", "Ya i will have to plan for staffing etc etc....".....There will be some one at offshore who will definitely hate this OC for many reasons among which his professional statements like "No Issues", "Not a prob" etc will be the top rated ones ha ha..... (I think the concerned person reading the last statement above must realize that its them lols ;) )....
Alas, task executed successfully, and a victorious OC (Onsite Coordinator) will now compose a big essay in the name of MOM (Minutes of the meeting which went on for hours, then why do people call it as minutes of meeting, should it not be hours of meetings?. ...lols....).....this one big MOM will fetch 100 peanuts more to our proud OC when his next appraisal comes ha ha.....This is what they call as working for Peanuts....;)
Our super hero will now remember that something is eating him up to tell him that he has to eat something up......Lunch?. Shit, thats something which he left behind in his dining table back in his room......What the hell can he do man?. A man all alone performing so many stunts when he gets ready to office needs to forget atleast his lunch right?????......(Now no one can dare to ask him why he slept so late in the night.......He is not to be blamed, he did sleep as early as possible in the morning atleast ha ha :D....
"Can i ask my roomie to drop me back at my room to bring my lunch back?. ".....he can only think of this, cause any roomie (including u or me ) will kick his A** if he wants us to take us back so far to just bring his box of maggi that this idiot cooked right from early morning 10:00 when the milk was paralelly flowing out from the over ;).....
Dooms day....Now comes the worst fact that our super hero will unveil immediately.... Getting a job in Google or Microsoft is easier than Being a Veggie in US ha ha.....What are the options that you can get in a restaurant here?. A burger for a veggie will be a burger with no meat but with Fish (Its a fact that no meat here does not mean no fish ha ha i dont really understand the meaning of this statement in this place ....:))....A garden burger is the technically fit term to be used by a Veggie IB in US which will fetch him a slice of cheesse, half a slice of onion and half a slice of tomato (No patties as patties have meat here) stuffed in between a so called bun.....with this garden burger, our hero has to move the rest of his noon session ha ha......(Trust me, u will definitely feel like getting horns if u eat such things here :D)....Just kidding, our hero is right back from his nutritious lunch.....
What next?????....Don't tell me "Buyukkokten Returns"...ha ha i will kill u man...."A small nap after a lunch has technically proven to have increased the work effiiciency of employees"....I dont know who provides our hero such facts, but he is already fully asleep comfortable lying on his desk with musical notes coming out of his poor laptop....(some one has to save his laptop by moving his hands out of it which are pressing the buttons unnecessarily, but what to do, these are the only times when our hero uses most of the keys in his laptop ha ha......)....
Tea time after a nap is the best option one can find out, and play time would be the next best option after tea time....Table Tennis pro and billiards champion..our super hero..( dont ask me how he can learn so many things..... if you are as jobless as he is, you would have won the Grand master Title by this time..ha ha ;)) gets into the ground....
After an hour's tough play, Second victory for the day comes across our super hero...He finally would have managed to win his opponent who would be a poor 1st time IB in US, but that's ok by practise its possible.....Probably if he follows our hero's foot steps, he might become a better hero in the near future ;)....(1st victory for those of you who forgot after reading such a big blog, was his MOM or rather MOH ;))....a proud indian after his victory returns back to his cubicle....
100's of mails from 1000's of consultants keep flowing into his inbox....."Sir, we were pleased to see ur profile in our job portal, we have this opening Blah Blah....etc etc"......All gates open for our hero but none allows him to go through them....:).....Either they ask him something that he does not know, or he tells them something that they do not want to know lols....Net is, another day passes by without success in his hunt to jump into an US company ;)....
Amidst these junk, some official ones do drop into his inbox....
"Important CR drive down, by EOD i need status on all these issues......Blah Blah Blah Blah..." This is not the 1st time it would have happened. its a medically,technically,scientifically (all lly's u wanna add can fit in here as an adjective ;)...) proven fact that for all IBs in US, the most important and critical task for his day would come to his desk only by EOD and the important thing would be that all of them would need closure also by EOD....ha ha"........
What will this poor guy do now?. Cruel in-laws asking a newly wed daugher - in - law to cook meal for the whole family when the fact is the gal knows only how to boil tea (even this, she knows only to prepare for max. 2 people, more than that proportions always go wrong ha ha, probably she might know how to prepare bread-butter-jam in a better way (Concerned Reader is gonna kill me :D))....:(....and parents in this case are really helpless as they have literally sold the gal to the inlaws :(....Hope by this time, u all understand the whole story behind this para ;)....
The only person who can help this poor guy is the super hero himself....
Even now, our proud IB in US will not be sulky, u know why????????.....his EOD is only by 3 in the early morning....ha ha so he has all his time in this world to take care of these important useless tasks ins his inbox.....
With not much of impact, mentally and physically the same Hero goes back home to grab a pack of chips and a soda and starts his work....
now don't ask me what's his work man, its the same...."Hey hi, i am so & so...., nice meeting u here, i found u in the singles community Blah Blah ....ha ha"....Hails to orkut which single handedly drives-in the lives & motivations of all Single IBs in US....ha ha.....
"And guess wat?. by this time u must have understood that our IB in US is a Proud single, Socially non-smoking, officially and unofficially non-Drinking, Ethically pure and divine Thair Sadham (Curd Rice as they say ;))......" ....ha ha, then how the hell can he kill his time in US, if not the way described above lols ;)....
Disclaimer: This blog is purely imaginary and just brought out as a Fairy tale for the enjoyement of my readers......and the term parents and inlaws r referred only to mean companies and not the actual relations ;) If my future inlaws get to read this post, i think i stand an even better chance of not winning their gal....ha ha.... (So those of you who are interested in giving a referal for me inside ur family pls dont take the risk of circulating this post within ur family ;), again concerened person must be aware that i am pointing to them in this last statement above ha ha....Guys, dont post comments asking me who r the concerned persons who come every now and then in this post lols ;) )
Thanks all for patiently going through my post....See u soon ;) (Now dont ask me if i spent my noon in office to bring out this post ha ha, but u r right :D....I wrote this Blog at one single stretch but edited it almost 12 times to correct the mistake in it ;)....Being a professional IB in US, what ever i type (Blogs or codings), i make a minimum of 100 errors per 100 lines of delivery ha ha....lols..........bye.....

Dont ask for too many things, you wont know what you really wanted....
Why am i having such a title in place for a blog that i am writing without knowing what to write????.
In a way, it will make sense for some and not for many, i am not sure if i am in the some or in the many. oops too confusing. i really dont know what to write now :)....
When you dont get things that you keep asking for now and then, it pains?. but at times have you ever felt that it pains after getting something you longed really for?. Why is that so?. Is that because you really did not know what you actually wanted?. basically if we cannot differentiate between the lust and the rest, you will end up in such situations :).......That's too skeptical na?.
It happens for everyone of us that at some point you will not really understand why you are happy and at some point you will not understand why you are sulky....and if you dont know how to react to such situations its very good for you. Cause confusion starts only when you start reacting to such stuffs....
Man this is going way too philosophical , can we change gears now?.
Yes we must but why did i write up all these things?. Its just because i thought of all these when i was travelling for official purposes to a different country....Man would you believe i thought such non-sense on a travel?.
12:30 AM Nov 30th, '08
I finally learnt swimming. That's what was needed to reach the airport from my house. Ahhhhhh, it rained for the next few years altogether......After finishing a strong dose of calls with ma friends, i thought i will call my sis after i reach the airport. Man, i have never seen the airport this crowded till then in my life. It was the day when Muslims started to hudge and the whole of the airport was spell stuck with the congestion. I finally was able to find out my colleague in this confusion who was also travelling along with me. We finally made it into the check - in and etc etc, everything went on well....
I started a long lasting call session with my sister and it went on for hours. (man trust me i found it really difficult to keep my sister all awake while i was chatting :) )....finally we bid good bye and i boarded the plane. I slowly started getting a sense of disturbance within myself, not sure what it exactly was....As time passed by and the flight took off, i was able to realize that all that i wrote in the 1st 2 paragraphs came into my mind that time. Would u again believe it???? :D....
As thoughts started flying around my head, i gazed around the flight to see if there are any babes in and around me :) (trust me, i am one shameless creature who with such thoughts as mentioned above was still able to manage to look out for babes :))....And as luck always struck me hard, i could not find even a single gal who i can talk to :(....all that i could manage was to talk with Pooja every now and then....(ha ha, u guessed it right, she was the only indian air hostess who reciprocated well to me lols :D)....and if you are interested in knowing facts, here you go, Keerthi was the one who reciprocated to me in my previous trip....ha ha now dont ask me anything more :D....A Thairsadham (that's how my chweet cute sis calls me :)) can afford to do such things?. i did prove myself that i was all that capable :D....soon they started bringing in lunch and as always, i found it really hard to get hold of the last vegetarian lunch (man, they call vegetarian as special meals, i dont know whats so abnormal in being a veggie :D). and i was not suprised to see a big portion of lasagna inside that pack....for those of you who dont know what lasagna is, in short this is how its prepared....
"In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, parmesan cheese, and ricotta cheese and season with salt, pepper, and spices.
Lightly coat the bottom of each pan with oil ( I like to use spray olive oil for this job) and then add a little sauce to coat the bottoms. This is especially important if you are using the no-boil noodles because the sauce will help them cook.
There are no hard and fast rules about the order you add the ingredients....blah blah....and cook it for 30 minutes....e ingredients will settle a little bit when you bake the lasagna so build right to the top. Make sure you finish with sauce and if you have any left over, save it for when you are serving.
Cover each pan with some aluminum foil and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes until the center of the lasagna is hot, the cheese is melted, the edges are crisp, and your kitchen smells heavenly like Hell :D and if there are any left overs you can eat it tommorow too.....trust me, u wont be able to differentiate between today's lasagna and tommorow's, both will smell, feel,taste etc etc the same :D....lolz ;)"
and you will end up with a dish that you can never ever imagine to even touch....and belive me i ate it.....:(.....by this time my thoughts went off and my stomach started talking with me dis way....
"What the hell did you eat Hemanth?. now go straight, take a small left, there will be a queue, wait there in the queue (in ur new country u r supposed to elegantly follow queues), once ur turn comes, open the door that stands tall in front of u, u will find a small room neatly dressed and well scented, sit there for some time and come".....
This is what my stomach said to me and all that it meant was, it wanted me to throw off literally what ever i ate in the name of lunch and then settle down with a small bottle of coke to change the taste sticking with my taste buds :D......
By the time my stomach completed telling what it wanted, my head started talking again.....Ahhhhhhhhhhhh......its talking too much dude,
"Hemanth, why do u think people want to get something so much but they are not......".
"will you stop talking for some time?. let me first do what Mr. Stomach said and come, i cant take 2 tortures at a time"......lols.....
Let's meet next once i am done with my throwing and then come back and continue my throwing here lols :D....Bye guys and thanks for patiently reading what i threw here too :D........
In a way, it will make sense for some and not for many, i am not sure if i am in the some or in the many. oops too confusing. i really dont know what to write now :)....

.... and we call ourselves "Engineers"
Not the best way to start your day i would say......As always woke up with a Good Morning Msg from my friend....With a brush in one hand and the mouse in ma other hand, i started playing the song "Nenjukul Peidhidum ....from Vaarnam Ayiram"....Of late i have started listening to such songs a lot. If i am not talking, it means i am listening to these songs....Thats how i would potray that......Probably this could be one of the reasons as to why my Orkut one liners depict so much of Romance.....ha ha....Just kidding.....
"Lunch office la ...." as i uttered these words, i closed the door and started increasing the speaker's volume......"Yenodu vaaaaaa veedu varaikum, yen veetai paarrrr ennai pidikum....." I like this part of the song a lot that i keep tuning the song to this line frequently......
K by now you must be aware of the fact that i am a jobless, senseless, meaningless IT Engineer who is trying to start his day to the office without intentions of working.......(Even if i have intentions, i dont have work to do :))
As i started the bike, it was around 8:00 AM. I started taking the same route that i go by daily, and of course all the time humming the same lyrics....
With lot of obstacles, i somehow managed to reach the Guindy estate road.
Vendors busy selling Road side delicacies, People busy talking on their newly bought cell phones (guess :)), vehicles all over the place, not a place to stand.....
Now i had to take a left at the Guindy fly over.....I could see lots of cars and bikes racing around this very small turn.....
but soon i could notice that people were diverging at some point taking turns very randomly.....As i came near, i was shocked to see that a blind pedestrian was standing in da middle of this turn not knowing where to go. He was totally stunned by the bike and car horns that he could not dare to make a step forward or backward....And all that i could see was all these riders were modest enough to avoid this person but no one cared to stop for him to go or no pedestrian did care to guide him in crossing the road.....All neatly dressed up, tagged IT Professionals riding in imported bikes not caring about a blind pedestrian who was by then struggling for his life in the middle of such a busy road.....
And we call ourselves "Engineers"......
PS: You might ask why i did not react at that juncture when i have all the time in this earth to think of that incident and write this blog......I have no answer for this question....Probably i am also one such idiot who call myself an Engineer......

Poi Solla Porom...... ;)
Big mistake.......but at times we cannot avoid.... At this juncture, Balaji decided to change his status to commited in orkut..... "Dai, shall we change our status in orkut to commited as we planned?.,wassay?.".....as i got this IM from Balaji, i immediately ran towards my PC to hide the msg.....I cannot come across yet another shameful situation at home.....:) Even before i replied no, Balaji was too upset. "
"both should take the risk ....adhu dane namba policy?"....Balaji replied.... (Its not a reply infact, cause i did not respond first, he sent both the msgs himself ;) ) After another few lines of senseless chats, i finally made him comfortable in doing this deed all himself.... ;)....
By this time i was almost done with my dinner. (I really did not realize that Balaji at the other end was at cloud # 9 over his new achievement;) )
-----------------------------------------------------------
BalajiSaysHello
and to ur info I have changed the relation ship status :)
check it out ......
achieve panniten ....
Hemanth
ha ah super da
:)
BalajiSaysHello
Naanum periya rowdy dan dialogue :)
---------------------------------------------
Ha Ha......pride in one end, fun at the other end......lols.....(But I cannot laugh out loud cause i am also one such guy who is still single ready to mingle and do the jingle now lols......;) )
and the chat went on as usual .....All topics ranging from who is rich till who is technical strong......(though we knew we both r neither of those 2)
Suddenly i could smell a rat gettting into the Trap......ha ha....after all the food inside the trap is so hot na ;)
----------------------------------------------
BalajiSaysHello
ranga is pinging me for relation ship status ... :)
atlast one guy is falling into the trap
----------------------------------------------
Now it was Balaji's turn to screw someone as expected.....Though at first he blabbered, he had good presence of mind.....He was brilliant enough in asking me for inputs and suggestions by pasting his chat transcripts with Renga and getting strong commitments from me ;)
While things were going on strong at one end, it was now my chance to show my talents too....
-------------------------------------------------------
k.renganathan.84 is online.

Vicky
ok cool
-------------------------------------------------------------------
so goes the story on and on......3 fools at one end and an even better fool at the other end ha ha.....
By now Renga must have reached the edges of his chair..... He could not believe us and at the same time he cannot take the risk of taking this issue lightly......
"Machi r u guys really kidding or not da?. Please tell the actual matter da". as Renga told these, i was busy at the other end reading Renga's transcripts on Vicky's window.....(ha ha....idhu ellam oru pozhopa?. lols.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Renganathan: ok.. can u give me a name here?
Vignesh: i think its tat potato girl who has joined his team recently da
Renganathan: u mean censored?? ( tats her true name rite? - censored the actual name lols as per Balaji's request;).....)
Vignesh: Yes da her name is censored....(Again ha ha).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha Ha and now its even more fun...u know why?. potato gal (Allo we call in short) is the nck of a gal with whom Balaji is paired with at office and now i know for sure he is gonna be back fired to the core ha ha......
"Machi, u know wat, not knowing how to tackle Renga, Vicky told the above statements and said its alloo with whom u r commited too"........
"Dai kadasila enaku appu vechutingala da, i am gonna tell Renga the truth else climax la i will become the comedian ha ha".
As this went on Balaji was too concerned about saving his name......Ha Ha who expected it to backfire him?.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hemanth
kadasi la its all back firing da
Balaji bayandhu is calling Renga to tell no Aloo gal and all its fun only ha ha
he started the game and he got backfired now ha ha
vicky.prodigy
:) :)
aiyo aiyo.... super da
machi... idha pathi oru BLOG ezhudhu da
-----------------------------------------------------------------
and this is how this Blog got created.....ha ha ......when we people r having fun readingthis blog, Balaji is too hot blaming himself for starting the game ha ha......"Uanku thevaya idhu?.Unaku idhuvum venum, inumum venum"....ha ha.....lols......
Note - Balaji/Renga: All these days, you guys were nuhappy saying my blogs at times mentioned some statements which you did not tell in reality, so this time i have copied and pasted exactly the chat transcipts. hope u trust me atleast now lols......
"both should take the risk ....adhu dane namba policy?"....Balaji replied.... (Its not a reply infact, cause i did not respond first, he sent both the msgs himself ;) ) After another few lines of senseless chats, i finally made him comfortable in doing this deed all himself.... ;)....
By this time i was almost done with my dinner. (I really did not realize that Balaji at the other end was at cloud # 9 over his new achievement;) )
-----------------------------------------------------------
BalajiSaysHello
and to ur info I have changed the relation ship status :)
check it out ......
achieve panniten ....
Hemanth
ha ah super da
:)
BalajiSaysHello
Naanum periya rowdy dan dialogue :)
---------------------------------------------
Ha Ha......pride in one end, fun at the other end......lols.....(But I cannot laugh out loud cause i am also one such guy who is still single ready to mingle and do the jingle now lols......;) )
and the chat went on as usual .....All topics ranging from who is rich till who is technical strong......(though we knew we both r neither of those 2)
Suddenly i could smell a rat gettting into the Trap......ha ha....after all the food inside the trap is so hot na ;)
----------------------------------------------
BalajiSaysHello
ranga is pinging me for relation ship status ... :)
atlast one guy is falling into the trap
----------------------------------------------
Now it was Balaji's turn to screw someone as expected.....Though at first he blabbered, he had good presence of mind.....He was brilliant enough in asking me for inputs and suggestions by pasting his chat transcripts with Renga and getting strong commitments from me ;)
While things were going on strong at one end, it was now my chance to show my talents too....
