Hoping For A New Start

Hello friends! It has been quite some time since my last post, I seemed to lost the interest to write....Also i am very busy with my work and hardly get the time to sit down to write and when I do gt the time I feel lazy enough, not to type away on the computer. But today i had some time and thought let me write something...so here goes...I have been planning this for quite some time to brush up on my skills as a photographer...and I think I have found a way to get it on track...I am going to start taking random pics with my digicam and start posting them here...this way I would be regularly making posts and also improving on my photography skill, after all I cannot bear posting pics which are bad in ere now can I? So there! Shall I start right away? Let me check whether i have something in my collection...

I failed three of usw fought before the adversaries so vast that there were no end to the constant stream of foes, we fought bravely and succeded nearly but then in the end sheer providence fell upon us and we were left ashore defeated and broken......what am I talking about? We couldn't get the tickets for my home not even the Air Tickets!!!! I just don't know They just suddenly locked up I mean all of them! sometimes the day isn't just good for you.........

Ridiculous Irony!

A very Ironic and funny thing happened today, I was supposed to be extending my time at the office because of Assisting in the upcoming project due to understanding, my stay was more than welcomed, the project was due on 22nd and I was to work on it for a solid week or two before finally leaving at the end of April, but today i found out it has rescheduled and now the Project is due on 27th, the irony of it! i am supposed to work for four days and and for that I extended my stay for a fortnight1 Ridiculous! Although I am not complaining after all its me who would getting paid right?

Well...I am cool if I get paid for sitting idle!

Got my lips cut!

Hey guys I was a bit busy writing a brand new article in one of my new blogs so could not post anything yesterday! I got my little operation yester night! haha! my lip had a swollen something for a few months now although it was not paining or anything the docs suggested I undergo a simple and minor surgery to remove the puss inside it! After numerous days of logical reasons and illogical procrastinations I finally got it punctured I am fine right now but not talking much!(that's a punishment!), our department is going to have a dinner today and I won't be eating today(that is another problem!) but that's cool! I will go home and stay only for about half an hour maybe!(have a cool drink"lime soda sounds good!")

Anyways I need to go now let me see......

Oh...by the way! everybody at office is really grosed out about the way my lips look! I loved showing each of them right before they went to their lunches! ha ha(come on I need some fun instead of having my lunch!)

Her what i find in the net about closest to the thing that I had!

HAHAHA! Grose Isn't it?

One of my happiest days!!!

Hi guys, it's just that back in 2006,on this very same day I had met the most beautiful lady I have set my eyes upon, I feel previleged that she still graces me by staying in my life to this day and I have been enjoying her company every single moment till date, I just hope she will honour me by obliging me with her blessed presence in my life for the rest of my days.....

These words and the picture, does, in no way, justice to my feelings but they are an honest try from my side......

What To Write?

The basic fault, which I have writing my blogs is the mere fact that my subjects are just too boring and mundane...so I am planning to find out some more interesting and exciting stuff to put in my blog and to tell you the truth I am really out of topics...Where on the Earth would I bring "NEW STUFF" from? untill anyone tells me what is exciting to them how would I know?

However there is a blog I do plan to wirte and but it requires a bit of research and some serious thinking...so it may take some time before I actually post it....

Nothing for Today!

for a few days I was suddenly very interested about the key figures of the two World Wars, this made me(as usual) do some surfing on the net and I came up with a number of impressive pics, the leaders of the countries like like Britain, USA, Germany, Russia, Japan, Turkey etc. those personalities, who played the so called protagonists and antagonists during the two world Wars....I would be uploading them soon but today I was dead busy with my work and really am too exhausted to sit and upload them right now! I promise I"ll be doing that pretty soon.

I shall also put some interesting trivias regarding these people along with the pics.

My Favourite Poet!

The wonderful world of poems has always eluded me, I have always been one of those unlucky one's who have never quite fully understood the beauty of the poetic verses, although it is quite a break from tradition as all of us in our family are pretty much attached to poetry. I have read a few of Tagore's poems but they strangely did not reach my heart (except a chosen few), I know this confession may make me eligible for a very violent and long drawn sneer from the entire Bengali community (whether or not they have actually read any of the great author's works!), but strangely they will not defer when they smugly make a completely misplaced theory that Tagore had this illicit relation with his sister-in-law, these comment s are made by the same ill informed and intellectually deformed Bengalis who possesses a number strong and strange albeit wrong beliefs regarding some topics.

To these people causing an uproar against people who does not find Tagore's poems to be the most appealing is as natural as making slurs about his personal life!

However, moving forward, I found the poems of Jibananada Das to be much more gripping as he creates distinctly different worlds through his poems, where it is never clear about the exact meaning, but the mysterious story that is woven by the wonderful and picturesque use of language is really soul touching. One of his most famous Poems "Bonolota Sen", portrays the mysterious beauty who the poet dreams of and and he has been meeting her since time immemorial and that timeless beauty has been the instrument behind the poet's inspiration more than once.

The poet is in deep love with the beauty of Bengal and the little yet magical beauties of everyday Bengal village takes a forefront in many of his works......

yet.....

when he muses, his imagination knows no bound, be it time or space and he can visualise existences which have passed eons ago and he renews those promises, those pepole and their hopes bringing out the beauty from the old frayed down colours f the past and repaints them with the masterful strokes of a genius to give them a modern life.

I respect and bow before Tagore for his songs for his poems for his art for his literature but I love jibananada......

Love and Respect!

a little trivia about Biriyani...it's actual Origin...

Dude,thanks a ton for your comment o my food guide! I am really pleased to know you enjoyed it!I did mention Biriyani(Aminia, Zeeshan bedouin, Shabir's and Nizam's (and I know you CANNOT forget khwaja!). I would like to point to you the environment and the conditions under which the Biryani came to it's sweet existence:
Did you know two of the subtlest creations with the Muslim impact in India took birth in the battle field?One is the poetic language of Urdu and the next is the ultimate gastronomic art Biriyani!

Urdu was created as a hi breed language for the better communication of Hindu soldiers(Hindi speaking) and Muslim Soldiers(mostly speaking Farsi or Persian at that time).

Same way Biriyani was accidentally created by a frustrated cook, who needed to go to war in the morning and had to cook in the evening,one day he, out of pure frustration, left rice and meat,slowly simmering, over a small fire in a cauldron with water in the morning and was delighted to find a wholesome and tasty meal hot and cooked perfectly in the evening when he returned, this crude procedure has been refined infinitely over the ages but the basic concept of preparation remains the same to this day! just a Little trivia and also something to ponder upon, just to imagine that Urdu, a language with so much finesse was crated for barking orders at each other for killing fellow human beings, which eventually turned into a language of poetry beauty and love.And the rough fare of a soldier after a tiring day was eventually refined into one of the most exotic and subtle cuisines of the World! A delicacy without the customary glitch of procuring an acquired taste!

Urdu Script written in the likeness of a Masjid depicting peace and love of God

A mouthwatering Dish of Biriyani with all it's Glory!

Makes one think doesn't it?

Bad Times Ahead!!

It has been a rather tiring day and a sombre one too at that...
We recieved news that some serius lay offs have taken in our San Francisco Office, however we are assured that there shall be no lay offs at our mumbai office.....

Even if it actually takes place I wouldn't be very worried for my job as if everything goes well I would be leaving the place by April...let's see what happens?

But my heart goes out to feee for those who lost their jobs, although I never interacted with them i stil feel for themin a real way as I definitely understand the situation they would be in if they lost their jobs and that too in such a market as today's where it is next to impossible to get another job, specially in USA they have been feeling the brunt real high now a days, although I think being jobless is a pretty common syndrome that was there even a few years backinour country, however what with the advent of the off shoring of jobs in India the job market is raltivelt stable American Market and also the various markets the world over, it ias bleak prospect for our Country too. In this situation I find myself left with only one good option, Get back to my original industry(legal) as soon as possible.

She Scored Allright!

My girl scored a bang! Frankly I am a little teensy weensy jealous and I am not ashamed to admit it! She was great actually. But I am really happy for her We would celebrate if only I was back home!! however I thought as I had written earlier about her results coming out, I should, as well, say how she fared.
Ciao!

My Girl's results are coming Out!

It's just that I really have nothing to say today ! But I want to make blogging a habit so I am just writing this, my girl's results would be out today just hoping that she does good, like every other year! She is pretty tensed about it but I told her not to panic and keep her cool, although, I know it is not possible to keep one's cool when the results are coming out, yet, I just couldn't say "Gawd! your results are coming! what on earth are we going to do? Each man for himself!Save yourself!" and tear her hair off and jump from the roof top, now, can I? But I tried to calm her down. I will have to take a few guys from work for a treat at a nearby joint called the Poptates, they make a killer garlic bread with cheese, I personally, Love it! I told that to my girl and she said,"Karo Poush maash, Karo Sorbonash!" hahaha!...she is such a cutey pie! Isn't she?...um...yes... I DO dote on my girl,Hello! it's called Love?! however enough of this one day I'll say how I met her it was not very romantic conventionally, but for me it was the greatest experience...yet! Man I do Love her!

Boring Day in Office Thought talking about The King!....

I had a very very hectic day today ! There I was Lying Idly for the first half of the day half sleeping, listening to music and downloading comics....then came lunch and after I had two meetings for about 3hours all together and that too back to back! I fell completely Asleep! They were so boring! How I hate these Long Meetings and this manager of ours from S.F.? She gets so pumped up during the meetings she totally forgets that the meeting was for one hour and not for two!man!.....now I am listening to a nice piece of music Elvis Presley, actually, I find this guy likes to repeat a lot of words like "cruel"(which he always pronounces as "croool") and sweet" "little" "honey" and "baby" and his lyrics closely reflects those cheesy songs from Hindi lyrics, but the way the the guy sings! damn ! it's just to good! no wonder people are ready to turn Gay for him! His voice is not what I would call a wonderfully manicured one, but the way he uses his baritone voice, which incidentally, goes well with slow music, for fast songs and that peculiar way of using his baritone voice is just amazing and although his lines are cheesy but the presentation and the genuineness of his way of singing is what makes him really "the King".

Another thing which I found pretty interesting is that the essence of the songs of Elvis Presley were always an unending believe in the concept of LOVE. Also, why the girls went gaga over his songs was for the fact, that, his songs were precisely heterosexual and had an unisexual flavour to them and were always taking about the female gender. Also the pure romanticism quite surprisingly devoid of any physically explicit suggestions, was interesting to notice, as it is not usually seen in the American Concept of love, the mere proposition that love can be purely mental and can concern, solely, the heart, simply appealed to the hearts of the mass of the fairer sex in America....

....Thus making Elvis, "The King" of their Hearts!

...Lest the horsemen ride forth!

....The night is dark and and the sky bleak with smoke and ash. the fields lay parched and cracked and whatever little trees are left, they stand like leprous creatures sooty and greasy sickly to look at and smell, the wind that blows dries up the even the bones and causes the nose to bleed, the smog covers all this. Doom and Death lay all around. Silence rules the moment, but it is the silence of Death and Fear...in the midst of all these a faint sound is heard like faint beating of a heart, from far off.Slowly the sound increases and some shadows may be seen, grotesque features all riding equally grotesquely featured horses, there are four of them...





A pure white; A blood red; A coal black and A pale and sickly green!





The dreaded riders comes forth! the dread riders of the Apocalypse! First comes Conquest, with his honeyed promises of justice and equality with the promise of a crown(seen on his head) and the threat of a bow(in his hands).





The Second a vivid red with it maniacal red glowing eyes, its rider, a sombre large one with an ominous blade in his hands proclaiming War and anarchy in the world destruction to all life no matter good or evil



The third one as black as coal shining in that sooty world, darker than the darkest shadow, its rider Famine with his skeletal features, his skin tight over his bones a desperate mad hunger in his eyes he bares a balance. He is t give justice and bring death to all as killing all IS his justice clearing the world of all the dirt and filth of the world.



The Fourth one is light green...a spectral look hovers around the figure sitting upon it shrouded its face with its cloak and bears a scythe....The Angel of death! He rides last and supreme to end it all!



The Four Riders of Apocalypse!.....



What? I had nothing else to do and was getting bored so tried something! Its not that bad now, is it? OK OK I shall add a nice pic too! Happy?

Fashion Blunders!!! Gawd Save Me!!!

This is the Limit!
I know I am not an expert or anything and it matters all the more for that reason! If I notice that means others definitely do! People sometimes, dress up so freaking hideously, not because they don't have any better means, or they are not good looking, it's just that, they think they, somehow, look very good, wearing weird attires.
One of my colleagues,(she is Miss Universe), wore a yellow dress,a necklace of chunky beads,a tight bun with a sunflower in her hair, to the office, along with it came a positive glow on her face, which can only come from a heightened sense of self satisfaction. Someone at the office even complemented her for that radiant glow on her face and it definitely increased. She is the most beautiful lady of the day...according to her.

Now let us more closely look at the situation at hand....

1. She is severely over weighed...in fact, it would be better to say that she has all the "worldly curves" in her figure(ever seen a globe with it's curves?)


2. She has severe sparsity of facial and bodily hair, well, that is one of the attributes of a pretty girl...but, one cannot be so sure any loner when, such sparsity extends to the topmost portion of one's body...The HEAD in fact, moreover such sparsity gets displayed to it's fullest glory when it is tightly spread across a skull which already has too much flesh on it due to vast deposits of fat.


3. The chunky bead necklace is very fashionable indeed but with one slight fault....to put it bluntly, it does not suit her fat face!


4. She is very fair and the "glow" makes her face shine like the moon, quite literally. Now I am not sure whether I call a girl, whose face represents the full moon,pretty and that too quite literally( in fact, who does for that matter?)


5. That yellow sunflower in her hair, which she thinks makes her look like...i don't know...Shakuntala or something? in fact, adds to the simple fact that she not only is bluntly oblivious to the fact that, her looks are a blatant antonymous to beauty, but she thinks completely the other way round.


6. Agreed, she was complemented on her looks, but the catch was, she never saw the reactions of the person complimenting, after the complement, in simple words, the poor guy sat down and doubled over in silent bouts of laughter.


7. Last but definitely not the least was her own sweet expression. That radiant smile which she wore earlier as memento of her self assured beauty was quickly transformed into a vague smile of dumb incomprehension, as people complemented her with a strange smile on their faces, she did sense that there was a joke no one was sharing with her....well that is not entirely true as she WAS the joke!

All these makes me think, are these people actually this dumb or it is just a desperate plea seeking attention?! However, while others were getting bored over discussing this ridiculous fashion disaster I sit on my console with an intense look on my face, writing this....
