On Beer Table !!!

Three friends sitting on a beer table. Wanted to narrate the conversation which often goes in vain :D

Farell, James & Loverboy decided to have beer one fine day. They are good old underwear friends. They played, roamed, grown old together. Time passed by and all of them got involved in work and professional life. The only day they used to be together is everyday, they live in the same flat. One fine Saturday they all decided to have beer together which they didn't had since last 24 hours. Farell is working on some bullshit technology, James on some more bullshit technology and Loverboy is working on P3/Z/Blade/AIX/Apache/iSeries/A-Z series/SQL/NoSQL/Xcode/Microstrategy/Cognos as what he has mentioned in his resume.

After having a bunch of beer normal conversation turns to paranormal.

James - Farell, you are looking nervous and sad ? Whats the issue. You have not even paid the rent ? How many times should I need to follow up with you ? And why are you putting so much ice in beer. Please change that f****g TV channel. Tune into some VH1 bands, Loverboy !!!

Farell - I got Pointer not set for location referenced error at the 11th hour when I was about to deploy my project. I worked so hard. I have put in my all efforts but this error I could not sort out coz someone has recompiled the objects without intimating me and I doubt if she is my ex girlfriend.

James - Loverboy, will you please change that f****g channel. I am sick of the music you are trying us to listen to. And Farell, why the hell you are not enjoying the beer ? Why are you so sad ? You have not paid the rent I am telling you the last time. My pockets are already broken paying the rent.

Farell - Oh, I got the point. Last night I was at her flat. May be when I was asleep she has taken my credentials and has login thru VPN to access the client network. She ditched me. I will trace the log she might have left behind. I will see for the /users/etc/tmp/var/folders I've created a log file there which traces all the users command. I will ditch her now for sure.

James - Loverboy, don't be so hard and fast you flasher. I've bought this beer crate and you can't consume half of it alone. Farell, when are you going to pay the rent. I couldn't hear you.

Loverboy - I Love Her !!!

Farell - But how did she know the primary password which is required to login to the client network. I have not saved it anywhere, its in my mind. How did she read my mind. May be she has put microECoGs in my head. I will sue her now. How can she use such electrodes on me ?

Loverboy - I Love Her !!!

Farell - Here goes the trace log. :D

Holy Shit !!! What I've done !!!

Loverboy - I Love Her !!!

James - Farell, will you please turn off your Macbook and join the party. We decided not to intervene in our official stuff at least while having beer. What do you say Loverboy ?

Loverboy - I Love Her !!!

Farell - Yes, lets enjoy the party (Anyways I am going to get f***d tomorrow :( )

James - Farell, how about the rent then ?

Farell - James, you know you are a filthy, nomad, morbid faggot. I wish if you were my manager :( Loverboy, don't you think the same about James. Every time he spoils our party by introducing his money budgets in between.

Loverboy - First I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. But I spent so many nights thinking now you did me wrong, I grew strong. I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face. I should have changed my stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key. If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.

James, Farell - F***k that shit !!!

James - I am going to sleep now. I am not feeling well. May be you guys like to finish it off early and clean the table and put the beer bottles back in crate. I will sell it tomorrow and with that money will plan our budget for tomorrow's beer. You must sleep guys it's already 1:50 AM

Farell - Loverboy, I am sleeping too. I already had vomit twice now not feeling well. Please clean the surface and also end my Job on my Mac before 2:00 AM. Bye. Good Night !!!

Loverboy - I Love Her !!!

Congestion of Thoughts !!!

Each time I see a college student walking on road grabbing a Computer Science book in hand, reminds me of MIT.
Each time I see a music lover headbanging on a bike on road way reminds me of Metallica concert.
Each time I see a conglomeration of members reminds me of my family which is spread in 5 directions.
Each time I see a gal wearing apron and a spectacle reminds me of ..... my backache treatment !!!

Sitting at the last corner of the bus passing through the graveyard and having an ascent of 'The Ecstasy of Gold' certainly had this thought come in my mind "Everything that has a beginning, has an end". The sheer number of experiences we all have is uncountable, breathtaking. The infinite possibilities each day holds us should stagger the mind. I jot some of my experiences. MIT, PyCon, Metallica Live, Relation all standstill, with slight repercussion. Living trapped in loops, seeing each day and responding the same way, thinking on same thoughts, a slight variation on the last.

Few miles crossed and comes to rehabilitation centre for Paraplegic. People much alive to see the pain of theirs. Touched and supported by the hands of indirect God. I daily think, have the same thoughts and respond to the condition in the same way "May God bless them". Adding few more miles, children playing in the water nearby sewage pipe. Lost somewhere in their own thoughts and an SUV blows 110dB horn at them. Slow down let them enjoy you educated fool. You've got a big chunk of space to get your SUV through, rather than adultering sewage water with your clean tubeless tyres and that fag of a cig. Thinking the same way and with slight variation I respond "May God bless them".

Waiting for the signal to go green, watching outside for the spectacular girl waiting on the same signal with her fiance. Thought the same way if she could have at least understood it would have been unimaginably infinitesimal fraction of my feelings. Nevertheless, I think the same way with slight variation "May God bless them". A family of mendicants on the road some with downblouse, torn clothes, having an insight if someone could get them along. A coin or a Re. for that matter makes many wicked, heinous men to have the shameful glimpse of the Indian poverty on road. I react the same way "May God bless them".

Packing the laptop and other office stuff and rushing to catch the morning flight to reach home at the earliest to attend a long waited Diwali. Trying to start the bike and after 100 bike strokes and failing the security person comes and asks "Shall I help you start the bike ?" I said "I will handle it, may be the bike is dry, I will get to the nearest petrol pump". Giggling at me "Its 10 PM now and you would hardly get any petrol pump in this area, I will ask my brother who stays some miles from here will get some petrol for your bike". Struggling on my words scattered "Oh, that would be of great help". Meanwhile we had some conversation, I asked "You aren't goin home, its Diwali time". He simply explained, "Sir, we don't have any holidays, even if its Diwali. Even if I have to take the leave I will have to lose 150 Rs just to go on an occasion when my Son passed away few days ago". Rationalizing things in mind "Man, how much I spend for one day. And things go worsen when I decide to sit in a bar" Fueling bike after getting the petrol "Hey please keep this amount for petrol". They both in chorus "Its a Diwali gift from us to you". I am finding short of words to explain this. These are the Men of Honor. "May God bless them"

Envisioning and forgetting, I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. It doesn't involve tempering life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up. Saw somewhere, there is no fate but what we make of ourselves. Hey I got all my life to live, I got all my love to give, I will survive, I will survive.. hey hey hey !!!

Really congested :P

Unspoken Truth !!!

Sometimes doing nothing makes them to decide what they really feel for you. Sometimes laying everything you have still can't make them to decide it. If you fall in the later bucket then you possibly are hurting yourself. Sooner you may like to get out of such perfidious love, or else it may convert into obsession. Which likely in most of the cases lasts in treachery and revenge. 

You laid your time, opportunities, money, feelings for the one who can't even think or can't decide it. Confessing becomes profession and profession becomes revenge. Moving on is what is left for you. Your value was never valued and cared. You crawled, cried, walked but couldn't find nearest spotless mind. But while you were suffering you were learning to struggle and getting hurt. Some things cannot be explained which is beyond imagination and for me it's a morbid obsession. Was it all worth it. If everything was planned, written in the book of fate, I can't imbibe it.

Something's aren't in our hands but to let it go. But letting go has always been a Herculean task. If it was meant to finish off then it should be. The one who doesn't understand you, no point in explaining your jitter. Well said in Unforgiven II -
"If you can understand the me then I can understand the you". The one who can't take decision on their own rather approaches to other to clarify, is the one who is confused and will make you capitulate. Being kind here I thanks to what all has happened and will restrict now moving forward with such stuff. Back to the previous life which somehow I forgotten while I was in the asylum of feelings. 

To forget things plug your earphone, get 200 cc bike on the Highway, wear a perfect goggle and play the songs (The Unforgiven 2, Wherever I May Roam, Sad but True, Fade to Black, Master of Puppets, Enter Sandman, Fuel, Ride the lightning, Sanitarium, Thunderstruck, Seek & Destroy, One) in full volume. I did it one fine day and it worked for me. At 90 km/hr listening to Metallica let's you forget every shitty thing. If you still can't forget you are obsessed.

Life is not just confessing, trying and expecting. If you don't get any of it move on it's the punch line and the truth. And remember 80% of boys gets girlfriend and remaining 20% of boys have brains ;) 

Stay genuine !!!

A Tribute !!!


"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma"

Its all of a certain when you hear Steve Jobs resigned and delegated the position to Tim Cook. Where would be Apple heading now ? Now Steve no more a CEO who's gonna take the innovative decisions and introducing the gadgets and gizmos that has the ability to change the world. The latest iPhone 4 launched by Apple has almost all the features that one can expect from a Smartphone. That what Steve has introduced it to the world.

Oct 5th night, Apple.com posted a black and white photo of Mr. Steve Jobs with Title Mr. Jobs (1955 - 2011) and within minutes Internet was ablaze with reflections of Job's untimely death due to Pancreatic cancer. Was Apple ready for this, or, were we ready for this untimely euphemism ? Oct 4th it was the release of iPhone 4S. Which stood tremendous amongst all Apple products. Many quote it as iPhone 4 Steve. May be Yes. I quote it as the same. But was it worth it. I haven't met Steve personally so do many of us. But still the tear flows if you really know the history of Macman. For many of us he is a role model.

Born to Muslim father and Jewish mother later was adopted by a Christian couple. He came to India and returned as a Buddhist. Was dropped from college after only one semester, he continued auditing classes at college while sleeping on the floor in friends' rooms, returning Coke bottles for food money, and getting weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple. In his keynote in Stanford Jobs said "If had never dropped in on that single calligraphy course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts."
Jobs once travelled to India to visit Neem Karoli Baba at his Kainchi Ashram with a college friend in search of spiritual enlightenment. He came back as a Buddhist with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. Jobs draft it as one of the two or three most important things that he has done in the life visiting India.

I just wanted to brief something about Jobs coz the list is endless and putting everything here is nearly impossible. But can't withhold to post some of his awesome quotes -

On Computers -
"It takes these very simple-minded instructions—‘Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it’s greater than this other number’––but executes them at a rate of, let’s say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.”"

On Design -
"It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them."

On Sales -
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"

On Character -
"I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year.... It's very character-building."

On Good Design -
“That’s been one of my mantras — focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

On His Outlook
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”

On Death
"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."

If you have Apple product you know what Apple has lost. I have been using Mac since years and every aspect of it reflects the hard work Steve team has done.
A man who leaves behind the biggest company in the world has lived his life to the fullest and has given world a different set of view and expectations. A dream that nurtured in his mind has made change in Computer Technology, Music and Animation.

The above pic by xkcd exemplifies tribute to Steve. Times we keep on watching that ball on our screen when an application is stuck. We expect the ball will disappear and the application will start running again. Hope the beachball drops off and the Application Steve Jobs start running again :( But its not.

Some lessons learnt !!!

Don't climb the wrong hill. You will be dropped from a random one!!!

Work, work, work & work. Don't wait for results. The next big thing will start out looking like a toy !!! 

Take wrong decisions. And then make it right !!!

Hope is directly proportional to interest !!!

Things not meant for you are obviously not meant for you !!!

You will be happy if you increase the size of cache memory !!!

Do good things and forget. Do bad things, don't regret !!!

Expect. If it doesn't happen no one else is to be blamed !!!

Achieve. Forgive. Loss. Win. In all phase Move On !!!

If you are alone, no one gives you a damn !!!

Frustration and depression are the signs of succession (conditions apply) !!!

If you can't decrypt, don't encrypt !!!

for(i=0 ; i<5 ; i++) (where i is the number of chances you set).
If u break the loop without exception handling you will find yourself hanging in hell. 

When you are sleeping someone else is reviewing your work B-) 

Insomniac, Deja Vu, Paranormal doesn't relate you to 3rd dimension !!!

If u think u can, u can. If u think u can't, u r right !!! 

Ok enough. The girl sitting beside me in bus thinks she is quite attracting me. But I can just say go to hell I m busy on my iPhone :-D 

It's all in bits & bytes !!!

This days I am messaging more frequently than I ever used to do. It's always been a pesky job for me. But nowadays its a crux of communication. It plays important part of our daily routine. Having said that, I believe it's a zero feeling task. 

Msg "hi how are you" will be saved as 
01001000 01101001 00100000 01101000 01101111 01110111 00100000 01100001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101
into your mobile device. And furthermore as
48 69 20 68 6f 77 20 61 72 65 20 79 6f 75
into your computer. Those who are engineers must be aware of what I am talkin about rest can take some free time from their busy schedule and google for binary and hexadecimal values only if they are interested. 

I am just focusing on the part "feelings are replaced with bits and bytes". Sad but true. We are so much of addicted to bits nowadays that even to inquire "hey are u still alive" we send 0's & 1's and expect answers in the same manner. The 7 bit in India and 16 bit encoding scheme in non Latin countries has done it all. I don't see any care and kindness in this numbers. Even if I have been questioned "do u care for me" I wud send some 0's & 1's and the other one will accept anyhow coz the device doesn't understand the word care. It just interpret it as 
01100011 01100001 01110010 01100101. 
Now what the hell is this. Adding flavour to it, service providers have schemes of sending thousands of msgs for free everyday. It means approximately 16000 characters i.e. 7000 bytes i.e. 7168000 bits of feelings are free everyday. Whoopy here the story starts of long conversations. Sometimes conv turns into quarrel, sometimes into relatnshp, sometimes frndshp, sometimes marriage also. I can just keep my temper cool coz the new stage has been set and I need to answer coz calling wud make them to spend extra bucks. 

You msgin skunks don't u realise it's hurting someone who don't have free msgs and some1 needs to type from their Samsung c170 mobile which is lyk pressing stones. 
I don't want to talk much on this coz i'v already consumed 1000 msg memory in this blog. Hope the point that I want to put 4ward is somewhat clear. Love generously and care deeply. Picking up the phone and calling may luz ur pockets but it will make the moment happen. Or the best way is to meet. Dont let them go who came to meet you coz they care more than bits and bytes !!!

Stay ugly, stay genuine ;)

Extreme Anger !!!

It's been months I m observing the same things. Weekends passing, boring weekdays, bomb blast, strike, hunger, corruption, missionary politicians worthless statements, catching bus at the early Dawn, returning with no hope of Dawn of life !!!, quarrelling not for worth, setting high expectations and falling on ground when it crashes, looking outside the bus for the people travelling in Honda city or a Mercedez alone and on the other side a mob of people adjusting in single auto. 

An Indian lady wearing iDee google and a Versace jeans with hair straightened, Dolce & Gabbana top heading straight to office in an E class Mercedez shouting on crowd that she thinks is worthless. On the other hand an Indian lady wearing saree which she might have not washed atleast for a week is digging into road for hours and the same time managing her kid just to make the road flow easily for that lady travelling in Mercedez !!! I am an Indian I felt myself guilty and helpless but I still iterate India is great. IT people wait for weekends so they can rush to lonavla or a znmd flick or murder 2 !!! After that posting their status on social sites oh what a weekend it was, ZNMD worth watching, enjoyed in Lonavla with friends lifetime possibility !!! On the other hand a mendicant (there are only two categories in India , a rich and mendicant) looks for these people thinking that his kids would enjoy the same way as these people are. 

What should be the motto of a typical ITian in India. I will work for few years in India after which I will settle in a rich country and will earn more money and will come back to India to die. Why the hell are you coming back die there only and send your dead body through courier we will post that in a suitable graveyard. Every single ITian I came across have the same fucking tendency I am not getting well paid here i must settle abroad and must marry a gaon ki gori and take her along with me. And that bullshit company also stamp her visa for free. She is your wife not companies wife. If u don't have money loans are easily available. And that gaon ki gori don't know what happens to her in 1 month after reaching US she creates her FB page just to set her location as US and uploading her pics like she is a Halle Berry. My Foot!!! You don't deserve to be in India. Stay there and die there only . 

India is such a secured country that if a girl student wants to borrow a textbook from her friends home after 10 pm, her parents would say you better fail rather than other circumstances. Homeland security could kill us all. Every now and then we hear Mumbai is crushed again but people are fighting they aren't givin up. Bullshit media they don't have any other option. They are trying not to be worried but media people are making them worried. The money Indian government is spending on that kasab's security and the bollywood premiere show, had that money used in public security it would have been enough to avoid the daily insecurity dosage. 

I am not blaming India, it's great place to live and die but the filthy people it's them who is making India a backward country. We are still fighting for corruption, unemployment, state wise racism, foreign capital, politicians scam, and many more but the fight has only the start date there's no end date. Big organisations they are only planning how to impress US clients and gather more money so ultimately they can settle abroad. Where are we going. How long is this going to be continued ? If there's no end result then it's ok to settle abroad :-| but just not to luz the faith we have LulzSec ;)

India is great and nice. And nice guys finish last !!!

Wake up call !!!

Its 2:30 AM now and I am feeling insomniac again. Having nothing to do and sitting empty almost created a silent fear inside me. Also yesterday night I had an unconventional talk with one of my good friend. She never knew what I wanted to tell neither anyone else. I ended with no conclusion and never wanted to talk on that crap.

An idle mind is devils workshop. Yes I am sitting idle so is my mind and obviously at 2:30 AM the devils plan must come into picture. But I've left that stuff a long ago. Don't even have a single movie left unwatched on my macbook.

Since I am depressed and lost for many days I typed Lakshya on youtube search engine. The Ascent of Lakshya blew through my mind. As it is said music can change your mind and emotions too. It did same for me. Moving ahead there were series of Inspirational and videos for being successful was in queue. Going through all of them was awesome. But I forgot that the clock has turned its hand to make right angle. Its 9:00 AM now and I wasn't finished with watching videos. Damn the videos has really changed the way I was thinking earlier. I really have a positive feeling now and ready for all the obstacles that were once I was afraid off.

My earlier simpler life made me forget how to struggle and face the obstacles. No one can go back and change the life, start now and make a brand new life. I gotta do many things now. I will have to jot down all the things needs to be accomplished. Let us start from removing all those shitty sad emotional songs on Mohabbat :P and make a rack of Metallica, LP's, Iron Maiden and Fort Minor. Got to upgrade my Macbook to 10.6.4 Leopard which I've been doing since 3 months. Will have to spend few bucks to upgrade but thats not the big deal as I've never thought how much I am spending on KF Strong :D. Yeah, I am there one step behind installing iPhone SDK emulator on my Macbuk. The dreams explained in shattered dreams I'll make it true by hook or by crook.

At the same time I am ready for the fact I'll lose my job if I won't get a project. Go to hell with this job and go to hell with this technology. It will be another hurdle but I don't give a damn coz money has never been an interesting part of my life. Yes the one whom I am interested in may be she knew it matters to me a lot and am ready to suffer from that as well now.

Bahut bakbak ho gayi and before ending this the most favorite video I watched had this meaning -

"Life Is Like A Cup Of Coffee"

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups. Porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite.

He told his guests to help themselves to the coffee. After everyone had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup. But you consciously went for the best cups. And then you began eyeing each other's cups to see who had the best one.

Now consider this... Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee, not the cups! The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. Live simply. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Love generously. "Life is Like A Cup of Coffee" :)

Take Care and Wake Up Now :)

Shattered Dreams

Everything in life is messed up so are the dreams. Dreams what has made me to reach this level and now the same dreams has been shattered.

"Door banayi thi manzil to raste mein hi shaam hui".

Life is a series of disappointment broken only by dark spells of depression.

Starting with my career have been dreaming of getting a higher degree from MIT. Between I got a job and have wasted my 2 years there and mindset too. I later thought if my work experience could help me to get into MIT. But that wasn't the thing and I left empty handed. I did a biggest blunder of my life by joining IT. But as it is said aiming keeps you stay alive. I still aimed to get somehow in MIT.
After spending 2 years in IT I finally resigned and started preparing for MIT exams. But I didn't knew that I almost forgot Pythagoras Theorem. Things were not that easy as when I started preparing in college days. All the basic concepts got weakened owing big hiatus from studies over years. I started looking for another alternatives escaping entrance exams but I didn't knew I was approaching the exam date :( Damn I missed the chance to get into MIT for the year 2011. Depressed coz neither job neither studies in hand, I almost started loosing my temper.

Interrogating on MIT website got to know the exam which I was preparing wasn't mandate x-(, holy shit !!! But the good part is that I can still aim for MIT if I do some different tasks as prescribed by MIT, lets say, an iPhone programming and tutoring to college students. Gathering money and donating it to Orphanages, child care centre.
But a good work experience and known company name was required to support my goal. So I thought to join in a good company and because of my earlier work experience I made it to IBM. Its been 3 months I've joined IBM now but I still don't feel to be an IBMer. Days are passing and my dream is getting shattered. No work, no programming, no study life is just like a boring stuff now. I am going astray. Haven't been so bored earlier and the speed of life seems to be at 5 km/hr.

I desperately want to get out of this dilemma. God knows when everything will be fine !!!

Mind plays the game

Sitting in an empty room had given a thought to write this post. Sounds bit awesome to me and gruesome too :D. Its about my mind which is one of the strangest thing I've ever thought of. Times it makes me inquisitive about it and times it never ;) Strange though :D

Over here I am pretending I (Me) different than my Mind.

Its all about what all wrong and good decision it has taken till now. Good weighs low whereas wrong weighs heavier than my weight. I wasn't born to do Science but I did. I wasn't born to do Engineering but I did neither was born to write this post. All this bullshit decisions has been taken by my mind. I was not cognizant when I was aloof with my mind. Recent changes in my life forced me to write something about it.

Its regarding my job and the place where I've to join. I've decided to join IBM at last.
I can just say that whatever decision I've taken in past few days all were wrong and all went wrong with me since then. So now onwards there's nothing much for bad to happen. So whatever decision I make now will be definitely a good one and will make some good changes in my life.
Probably I should not take impulsive decision further which will only make my life nasty and later being fuzzy about the condition I will restrict myself to choosing such decisions.

So what I've decided now that I don't know what I've decided :P. Isn't that strange. Yes it is coz right now my mind is thinking totally different which even I don't know. Now even this is strange, yes it is right !!! Times it happens with me that I've already decided what I've to do but I don't know what is that I've decided. But my mind knows it all coz it never thinks. It just decides. My mind leaves up to me to think which I don't do it from my side. So am I going somewhere else from the topic or what am I saying over here. Did I got some new interesting topic to talk or is there any thing hidden which can be extracted just by writing this bullshit story.
