A road less travelled
I don't like this new spangled blogger composer. Text editor trying to emulate ms word..... bhah phah...pthaah..
Now why do we still have the british system when the bloody brtish have metric system?.. oh, yeah becoz Uncle sam still believes in miles and gallons.
I don't know what different people make of the poem... I took the road less travelled, And that made all the difference. It has meant different things to me in different circumstances... hey thats what art is right... a rainbow ... beautiful to behold.... to each his own... there need not be the same reaction by different people to something.
So to this measure.. Champu and I will be starting a movie review blog thingi...
I'm seeing Notting Hill as I type this.. and certain things to say..
Julia Roberts is smiley smiley as usual.. Three other beautiful ladies to see.. The friend in the wheelchair.. she is radiant. The small girl who hugh grant interviews... she looks cute. And the perfect girl... who is omigod hot...
I've been reading Ludlums Tristan Betra which was a big disappointment. There was no mystery left in the story once stevan returns to russia...or maybe I've read too many crappy novels which seem tailor made for a big-budget hollywood movie.
Another book - A Salmon of Doubt by Douglas Adams.. I love his work. A genius .... GODD..
ho hum.. being a DD in 5th year..

Mera resume' kab banegaa


A sanskrit shlok (from Chanakya neeti I think)

Aalasyam hi manushyaanam shareerastho mahaaripuhu
Nahi suptasya sinhasya pravishyanti mukhe mrugaaha

meaning

Laziness is the biggest enemy of a man residing in his body itself.
If a lion sleeps in his den instead of hunting, no deer will offer itself on the platter for the lion as a meal.

Now why do I remember this pearl of wisdom now? I am trying to motivate myself to get off my arse and work on my resume, but now that submission date has been postponed for 3 days, I know half the institute will create their masterpieces only at the stroke of midnight.

Well, whats been up with me? I finished my ddp first stage thats what. The less said about my altercations with the "you know who" the better. When a person displays a mental state of a 3 month old dog and an IQ of a sea-weed, theres not much u can do except take a deep breath, close your eyes and count slowly to ten in order to control the urge to bash all his teeth up.

Heres a message to all the losers in the world who think they can hybridise each and every existing design to come up with a novel idea. Go shove your novel ideas where sun don't shine.

Another template

I missed my c++ exam today because the schedule clashed with my ddp meeting. Thats 750 bucks down the drain :((

The meeting was with the industry guys sponsoring our projects and it went pretty well, i think. Many more things to do in the coming week...update my resume, prepare for my presentation. Ho hummmm........ feeling very lazy ......

Went to see hydrabad Blues-2 yesterday. Don't think it was worth the effort. ummmm... as I said before, feeling lazy.. will type later...
I am sick and tired of the template....everyone using the same thing...so time for some change... This one's nice but a bit too dark for my taste... Like the old parchment feel though.

Any given thursday

DDP: the bitter pill to swallow
Report: a life saving tonic
Me: In self-pity let me wallow
My nemesis is my examiner.. Isn't that ironic

DDP report submission over... but before I could open the bubbly came the shock... #$%^%%^ is my examiner.
The schedule for last few days has been... Put niteout, work like dog, meet guide, work like dog, daydream about sleep, put niteout and so on and so forth.

I missed the grand entry of Greece into the euro finals becoz i fell asleep in the tv room.

Visit to maddu-mess has become a reflex, and here I sit in front of the blinking cursor, waiting for it to lull me back into sleep.
but sleep cometh not.

Blink Blink Blink
the cursor mocks the eye
a bored guy

toodles... much more to come on shrini express... come back for seconds
