2012 - The Last Year

New Year's eve has never been so good
Out of nowhere you appeared
The pain in you eyes were all but indicative
Of the plain fact that you were waiting to be rescued...



It's 2012!!... supposedly our last year on earth... I guess there's quite a lot to be done this year then... time to pen down... THE BUCKET LIST....

And of course, New Year was "goooooooooood"....... :)

The Time When I Partied n Partied n Partied...

"There goes yet another girl by the window
Despised by some, Hated by some
Like the cold winter breeze
All in a flash she was gone........."


I'm beginning to hate the fact that I'm not able to write more often... the last two months have been packed with a lot of action that I can barely remember anything that happened (that sounds a little contradicting, doesn't it?!)... to start off, we had Independence Day celebrations at work, when we had our faces painted with the colors of the flag and each of us patriotically hoisted a flag each on Facebook!!!... yeah, Facebook!... is there anything you can't do on Facebook these days?!!!... FB can even calculate which person from amongst my friend list I will be marrying in a few years!!!... I wonder how people who don't have Facebook IDs survive!...

Then there were the couple of client visits at work... the usual kind of people, who sit on glass tables, with a small bottle of mineral water and a crystal glass gleaming in front of each of them... I've often wondered, 'do these people feel thirsty at all??'... the way they take those tiny sips out of their glasses, and make sure that they are only halfway through the bottle when the entire 4-hour conference is over - truly thought-provoking... and then there was the company party, in which I managed to, if not make a complete one, make a partial idiot of myself by totally losing my senses...

Speaking of which, I've come up with this total new look, with a brand new haircut... of the 47 people I've met after my revamped look, all 47 have hated it... so I guess, the look's gonna stay for a while!!!... and speaking of haircuts (which I've had 2 in 3 weeks btw), for the first one that I had, I had a stupid kid and his even more stupid dad in line before me... so that meant I had to sit through and watch all the antics that the kid and his dad were putting up for me... the kid was getting a mushroom cut (which according to me is the ugliest haircut ever... so ugly that it was banned in my school!!) and his dad kept watch beside him, a gleaming ear-to-ear smile on his face all the while... wiping the kid's face every time a strand of hair fell on it... I had had enough when the dad started throwing flying kisses at the kid, and was all set to leave, when the barber, who was also apparently sick of the drama, shaved off whatever was remaining on the kid's head and threw the two of them out of the shop... bahhhh... kids and parents these days... get a life people!

Looks like the rains have finally begun to hold up, which is quite sad btw... agreed I hate rains, but at least the weather is cool and the car stays clean during rains... I missed the opportunity of staying at home, down with fever, sipping on hot choco this monsoon... I guess I haven't done that since college!... I remember those days when VG and me used to get those piping hot coffees with those straws with microscopic outlets... I never really understood the point... those things always have the habit of surprising you when the coffee reaches your mouth... bah... but those days were good... when it all started with hot coffee and an eBiz presentation... it was all it took.......... sigh...

Anyways, here we are... it's October... the month of Octoberfest... like it has anything to do with me, but still... it's been a month since 'THE NXT LVL'... an attempted rip-off of The Nirvana Nites... almost hit the spot... it's at least good to know that a handful of the guys are already looking forward to the next edition... hmmm... in other news, my best pal, whom I haven't seen in six years has moved to Europe... it's good to know that people are getting on with their lives... and lastly, I'm suffering from PMS (no no NO!!!... PMS doesn't stand for what you think it stands for!!... it stands for Phone Malfunctioning Syndrome) yet again!!!... so every fifteen minutes, my phone keeps freezing up... so if you are lucky enough to call me during the 15-minute unfrozen window, I shall be answering the call... else... well, you won't know, but on the other end, I may be banging the phone on some wall... talk about freezing, I used to have this friend in school, whom I told about my PC freezing up every now and then, and she suggested I should keep my PC in an oven... ahhhh... thank God she doesn't work where I work now!!!... ;)... (my colleagues would know why!... lol)....

Ciao....

Losing My Sanity

Knucklebrains!!!!... they are always there... wherever I go... and their standards keeps dropping with each place................ my 20k songs.............. they're all gone...... sigh.....

Anyways... here we are.. in the month of August... and what's special about August??... for starters, it's the worst month this year!!!... there's not "much" work to do, people are damaging my stuff, losing a lot of friends and all the shit that could possibly happen... on the brighter side, I was at this this miniature batch reunion at JJ's place... not my batch, but his batch... and I must say it was a blast... ahhhh... speaking of JJ's batchmates, it's amazing how these guys from the pre-Facebook era keep in touch so well... I've never really understood the basic protocol of being busy... you send your friend a mail (or a wall post), you have to wait for at least a month to get a response... it's even worse in office, when you send a mail to a colleague who's sitting a few cubicles away... once you're done with the sending, you have to walk over to his cubicle and beg him to check your mail and respond!... (I don't really get the point of sending a mail in those cases!)... ah well... speaking of work... we've been having a lot of new guys coming in off late, it's really hard to keep track... it's like those days in college... where the Tamil guys and the North Indian guys didn't know the names of guys from the opposite community... (but being an NRI mallu puts you right in the middle of both the communities (btw the other minority communities don't count - you're either a Tamil, or a North Indian, or an NRI mallu)... so that implies you have to learn the names of everyone from both the communities... which is quite taxing... sigh... the woes of an NRI mallu...) so the Tamils used to refer to the North Indian guys as 'andha Hindi paythyakaaran payyan' and the North Indians used to refer to the Tamils as 'Wo Parachute oil ki godown'... lol...

I guess I won't be back before Independence Day... so all those Indians out there, who are like really proud of the country... good for you!... I think I had something more in mind before I started writing this blog... or is it typing this blog... or should I say blogging this blog??!!!... lol... I'm really mind-fugged at the moment... my mind is so full of isolated thoughts that keep overlapping with each other... I was revising my game design document today, and I reached this part where I'd written - 'A cannon ball is seen attached to a dead skeleton'... (crazy as it may sound, it is a part of the game we're currently developing!... except for the 'dead' skeleton!)... I scrolled up to make sure there was no more idiotic stuff... and lo!... 'However, the cannon is found missing its balls'... come to think about it, it does make perfect sense, but then, the weirdism... and then there was this article I wrote - 'Ford Unleashes Performance Kit for Mustana'...

And so that's that... got nothing more... life's getting really boring and mundane here in Kochi... in short, Kochi pazhe Kochi alla, it's beginning to suck to the core...

Oh by the way, now that QR codes are the "in" thing, here's the QR code of my blog url... in case you guys are having a tough time passing on my url, you can simply pass on the QR code!!!!... smart me!!!... ;)
