Gimme a Break!!!
Just wanna run away from maself precisely from everything under the sun. Nostalgic of the gud old BMTC days. Thoughts could revolve around anything under the sun and absolutely no bounds. No worries of – what to cook? what needs to be completed? what takes the priority? Whats in scarce in Kitchen? Will that implementation throw exception? Hope that Testcase gets through? What logic needs to be merged? What FR takes the priority? and so on. Wish cud say cum on gimme a break and cud get disconnected from this world and be lost in the world of wonderful thoughts,desires and happiness.
Miss you BMTC!!!

Life Together
One fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer’s office. Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.
Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their story….This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over yrs of marriage nothing ever seems to go right.
They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own family, there’s nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce….
Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn’t understand why the old couple would still want a divorce..
While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband..
“I really love u, but i really cant carry on anymore, I’m sorry..”
“Its o.k, i understand..” said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife thought, why not, since they are still gonna be friends..
At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.
The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the old lady..”take this, its your favorite..”
Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there is still a chance, but the wife was frowning when she answer..”
This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never thought about how I feel, don’t you know that i hate drumsticks?”
Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband’s favorite. Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.
That night, both of them couldn’t sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn…after hours, the old man couldn’t take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her “i love you”…
He picks up the phone, starting dialing her number….ringing never stops..he never stop dialing….
On the other side, she was sad, she couldn’t understand how come after all these years, he still doesn’t understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but she just cant take it anymore….phone’s ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that its him…”whats the point of talking now that its over…i have ask for it and now i wanna keep it this way, if not i will lose face..”she thought…still ringing…she have decided to pull out the cord…
Little did she remember, he have heart problems…
The next day, she received news that he had passed away…she rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the phone…he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone line….
As sad as she could be…she will have to clear his belongings…when she was looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day they got married, with the beneficiary being her… And together in those file, there was this note…
“To my dearest wife, by the time you’re reading this, I’m sure I’m no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side… ” I LOVE YOU SWEET HEART”
Tears flowed like river……
“When you love someone, let them know… You never know what will happen the next minute…. Learn to build a life together.. Learn to love each other. For who they are… not what they are…”
Found this story really nice. So treasuring it in my compilations. A million thanks to the author.
In life we generally forget to value our relationships never giving a thought that we are all here for a short span not forever!!!!!

Living lyf ma way!!!
Most of us are keep cribbing about something or the other in life like the things that we cannot change but wish to change, the things that we can change but don’t wanna change and the list goes on. It was way back in 2003, the time when the Cellphone usage was becoming or rather was made really popular.Call rates had plunged and the service providers were introducing many offers (100 sms free per day, call to any two number at 10p,calls in the same network after 10p.m. is 50petc..)to woo college students and were successful to a grater extent, one after the other all my mates were falling for these offers. These offers were valid on intra network usage and not surprisingly it was being efficiently made use of by all my mates 24/7. The consequence of which was my isolation being a non-cellphone user. Though it reminds me of my kiddishness, it was a major concern then.
I was on my way to SSi for my JAVA classes with all my thoughts revolving around the cellphone. I alighted the bus near BHEL and was heading towards Deepanjalinagar bus stop to board the bus to Vijaynagar. There’s a slum close by and one could always find many kids from the slum playing around the bus stop. Evidently there were many kids playing today as well. I would generally observe them play as it would remind me of my school days, but today my eye got fixed to only one kid in that group. There was something common between me and that kid and something was contrasting me from that kid and yes the similarity was that kid was also very fond of cellphone like me. Now one must be pondering how could I figure out the kid’s fondness towards cellphone in just a glance? He was playing with a piece of tile resembling the shape of the cellphone. What contrasted us was that he was very happy with his look alike of phone unlike me who was cribbing all the way. Knowingly or unknowingly he taught me a lesson. A lesson for life. A lesson that changed my perspective towards life. A lesson which taught me how to be happy always despite the situations.
Thank you sweet little angel for this positive change!!!

Happy Women’s Week!!!!
This is a beautiful article…Forwarded by a colleague…Very touching…Can say these are the words from every woman’s heart…Mine too…
The woman in your life…very well expressed…
Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.
Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; Who is earning almost as much as you do;
One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are;
One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven’t, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements
One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;
One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name.
One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.
One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn’t want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won’t like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;
One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;
Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won’t, simply because you won’t like it, even though you say otherwise.
One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;
One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some and trust her;
One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house – your unstained support, your sensitivities and most importantly – your understanding, or love, if you may call it.
But not many guys understand this……
Please appreciate “HER”
I hope you will do….

Prosopopoeia
Past two weeks have been really stressful and tiring. Not physically but yeah mentally ofcourse. Its a totally different issue when we have worked on a project from the beginning, you exactly know where the fault is when there is a fault open on your team. But me papa magu joined the team when the phase 1 of the project was almost ready for release for acceptance testing. Though it excites me when I talk of my project on the other hand bothers me when I think of the lineage of my project. Person who started as a fresher in our project leads the project now and who was leading the project heads the APAC team. Its a different issue that when an in depth analysis of the Code is required to fix the bug there is nobody to guide(Papa everybody have their own workload) and we cannot go to the big guys with some silly doubt. I think I have really gone very far from what I really wanna a talk about.
Coming back to what I wanna exactly talk about the “FRs” or the “FEKATs” (the faults open against the team) were the ones that were bothering me. Aaaaaaaah!!! fixing a fault in somebody else’s code (specially in the ones that you are seeing it for the very first time,on top of that you are a fresher and clueles about the requirement). You start seeing *#@%$(%)* all around. Thats not all, to our surprise we found that the logic that we were supposed to change had an impact on almost everything done in the project. The summary of the situation was like this “A fresher modifying(rather implementing 
) the most critical feature already implemeted(and tested 
) by the experts which has around 60% impact on the project, has around 10 faults(was forcibly restricted to 10) open against it and requires almost 99.9% change(Left the 0.1% as the name of the logic need not be changed.LOLz!!!)”. Me and my mate started working on it. The first step is the simulation of all the faults in our most adored server “A Thug”, I must say. Though we were aware of this fault we did not bother to change it as it is most critical and we were constantly reminded not to touch this. Simulation and analysis was still okie as we had done our home work earlier. Next phase came the implementation. There was always a voice heard in the background stating that this correction should not be rejected. Background music makes you impulsive at times.
The current implementation used a function “the Villian” for the computation. We spent 3 days analysing the behaviour of this beast. Inboxes were flooding with the mails exchanged between Bangalore and people sitting in the other parts of the world followed by hours of discussions, arguments and counter arguments to cross check the understanding. But trust me, brain becomes numb if I recall that moment. The conclusion drawn was that this “Villian” really needs to be shown an exit. But somebody needs to fight him and throw him out. “Who shall do it” is the question . Fortunately we figured out that such a “Hero” already existed but he needs to be equipped with few additional armours to fight the “Villian”. Took few hours to equip our “Hero” and he was now strong enough to fight all the odds. He could successfully fight the “Thug”(Test Server). We put him through many rigourous fights (papa our hero doing “Yuddha kaale shastraabhyaasa!!!”) and he emerged victorious under all situations.
Finally the patch is delivered for the much more rigorous fights. The results are still awaited. Will update the results once its out.

Golden advice from Warren Buffet on the present Economic Crisis
“We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism.Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations.Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health.They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess. Every new year, I adopt an old maxims as my beacons to guide my future. This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older. This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.”
1. Spending: If you buy things you don’t need, you’ll soon sell things you need
2. Savings: Don’t save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.
3. Hard work: All hard work brings profit; but mere talk leads only to poverty.
4. Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.
5. Earnings: Never depend on a source of income.
6. Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender’s slave.
7. Accounting: It’s no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.
8. Auditing: Beware of little expenses; a small leak can sink a large ship
9. Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet.
10.Investment: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
I’m certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy. I’m equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.
Warren Buffet

Why boys like girls??
Disclaimer : Author is unknown. Found it cute so posting it. So no idea about the copyrights. If the author find it offensive please get in touch with me so that i can remove the post.
1. They will always smell good even if its just shampoo
2. The way their heads always find the right spot on our shoulder
3. How cute they look when they sleep
4. The ease in which they fit into our arms
5. The way they kiss you and all of a sudden everything is right in the world
6. How cute they are when they eat
7. The way they take hours to get dressed but in the end it makes it all worth while
8. Because they are always warm even when its minus 30 outside
9. The way they look good no matter what they wear
10. The way they fish for compliments even though you both know that you think she’s the most beautiful thing on this earth
11. How cute they are when they argue
12. The way her hand always finds yours
13. The way they smile
14. The way you feel when you see their name on the call ID after you just had a big fight
15. The way she says “lets not fight anymore”even though you know that an hour later….
16. The way they kiss when you do something nice for them
17. The way they kiss you when you say “I love you”
18. Actually …just the way they kiss you…
19. The way they fall into your arms when they cry
20. Then the way they apologize for crying over something that silly
21. The way they hit you and expect it to hurt
22. Then the way they apologize when it does hurt.(even though we don’t admit it)!
23. The way they say “I miss you”
24. The way you miss them
25. The way their tears make you want to change the world so that it doesn’t hurt her anymore….. Yet regardless if you love them, hate them, wish they would die or know that you would die without them … it matters not.
Because once in your life, whatever they were to the world they become everything to you.
When you look them in the eyes, traveling to the depths of their souls and you say a million things without trace of a sound, you know that your own life is inevitable consumed within the rhythmic beatings of her very heart. We love them for a million reasons, No paper would do it justice. It is a thing not of the mind but of the heart.

Why should I get married?
I dedicate this blog to Mr.X who has posed a question “Why should I get married?” Well to talk about him I don’t who is he? Where is he from? What is he? He is just another blogger like me. I came across his writing accidentally as we both share a common category of blog called “Expressions”.
Well I write this blog to answer his question in my own way. I might be wrong in many aspects. But I’m happy to be wrong than crib about the future, which is still mysterious to me. When I’m free to assume anything about my future I prefer to have a positive perspective towards it.
Well the question “Why should I get married?” reminds me of my past. I used wonder myself what could be the answer? I would be lying if I say that I have found a convincing answer. Off late I have realized that there are no answers to few questions and that’s the way life is lived. Yet I would like to jot down my not so convincing but an eye opening answer.
We are all mortals. Everybody has. Yet we do not stop eating thinking that we going to go sooner or later instead we relish all the food that we adore. Though we are very well aware that we are going to perish someday we do not stop living indeed we try to live life the best way we can. We do not stop laughing or do not miss any opportunity that can make us laugh. We do not cry today that we are going to die tomorrow.
Oh God! Too Philosophical! Just can’t believe it’s me who is writing all this.
Coming back to the point of marriage. My dear friend we have to experience everything good in life. Now you may ask me what is GOOD and what is BAD? I have my own definition of good and bad. Anything that can make us happy and do not harm or pain anyone else or anything that do not harm or pain us to a greater extent but can make others happy is “GOOD“. Well I hope the definition of “BAD” is very obvious when “GOOD” is explained clearly. Now you may ask me how do I say that marriage is good? I had read a small story about marriage in the book called “Oh Mind! Relax Please!” by Swami Sukhabodananda, he says in a marriage (or say a relationship) people always tend to expect from their respective spouses and hence their life becomes miserable. Now you must be wondering what do we get in return? Hold on! Remember “Newton’s third law of motion-Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”. What is the antonym (opposite) of “give”, “take” right? And in the equation LOVE=LOVE. So when you give love (according to Newton, scientifically proved ) you will get definitely take love in return. So I suggest you to experience the feeling of LOVE through your marriage.
Hope I have cleared your confusions at least to a small extent if so Thank God!Otherwise its alright I feel it was not all that bad try . I wish you all the very best. Hope you get a spouse who will keep you very happy forever and I hope perspective towards marriage changes.
Confession: I’m no perfect. Hope this blog is helpful in making all my relationships successful as well.

A weekend in Mysore
Its been 3 months ever since I have been working. Being in training never really felt the heat of the job. Despite having money and all the comfort I longed for there was some kind of dissatisfaction. I was trying to figure out different ways to come out of it. Shopping, pampering, movies, hanging out with friends didn’t really help. Had got an invite from a friend to attend “Srinivasa Kalyana” in Mysore so called my sis to tell her that i would be in Mysore this weekend. A stressful Friday ruined all my plans. I opened my eyes to realize that it was 7 in the morning and I could not board the 5.30 a.m. train which i was supposed to if I had to attend “Srinivasa Kalyana”. I immediately called my sis to update her about my blunder, but was unclear whether to go to Mysore or not. As expected my sis was awaiting my arrival with all special delicacies specially cooked for me. Didn’t wanna disappoint her so decided to go immediately.
After all the horrible experiences in the shuttle that I took to Mysore last time I was pretty sure this time that I would board the express bus. Though later disappointed with journey as it was very hot and these days absence of AC makes life miserable. I managed to reach Mysore by 1 p.m. Bhava picked me up from the suburb bus stop and we were home by around 1.30 to realize that my sis was yet to prepare rice. As I was hungry she got me few cut fruits. I was eagerly waiting for food to be served. She had made Soppina huLi, tomato-onion chutney, seeme badinekai palya, some gojju and then nimbekai uppinakai. Yummy my mouth still waters if I think of all that. I just love hogging hot rice with soppina huLi with tuppa.
My first day in Mysore ended after a visit to circus followed by shopping. Second day I attended Sathyanarayana Pooje and returned to Bangalore in Airavatha(Its a secret never told at home that I boarded Airavatha as its waste of money according to them). Reached home in 2 and a half hours time.
Though did not do much on these two days I thoroughly enjoyed the slow paced life in Mysore. This visit rejuvenated my mind, body and soul and I ended up falling in “LOVE” with “MYSORE”.
