Thoughts for the day

2009-03-01T13:43:00.001+05:30

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

If a man takes no thought about what is distant, he will find sorrow near at hand.

Things that are done, it is needless to speak about…things that are past, it is needless to blame.

What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.

When you know a thing, to hold that you know it; and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it - this is knowledge.

To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short.

:)

Some thoughts for the new year

2008-12-31T17:58:00.000+05:30

Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.

New Year's Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up more of my time.

Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account.

Cheers to a New Year and another chance for us to get it right.

Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger.

Have A Great New Year People :)

Have Fun

oye lucky !

2008-12-04T18:25:00.000+05:30

is a good movie, but it is NOT a comedy

and that's why i think this movie did not work well on the box-office, cos it was marketed as a comedy movie.

But it is a good movie, well worth spending your time and money.

How will you spend Rs 500

2008-11-25T12:20:00.000+05:30

a friend mailed me this video

i dont know if i'll write all the things abt the trip, i thght i'll do it this time

but dont think my schedule will allow me to write all that, i guess all the stories will remain in my diary that thankfully i took along with me and kept updating every night !

but i have uploaded quite a few pics and have been updating them with caption and locations on the google map.

so i guess the best thing to do is to share it here :)

movie marathon day

2008-10-13T12:07:00.000+05:30

that was yest,

i was not allowed to interfere/help in any way to the paint job going on at home, and i was not allowed to go out too, so that i'm available whenever help is needed ! so what do i do, watch movies :)

7 of them, on sat i commented on harinder's status that i've seen 5 in a row. I did 7, but not in a row this time. this was 7 in a day.

I'll list the movies with my ratings for them.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark : 7 out of 10, good watchable movie.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom : 1 out of 10, the worst movies ever made by spielberg.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade : 8 out of 10, more fun with sean connery involved.

Addicted to love : 7 out of 10, always loved this movie and got it again yest from bigflix, so watched it again :)

Khuda ke live : 7 out of 10, can watch this again just to see the last 20 mins, naseeruddin shah's is brilliant there.

Michael Clayton : 7 out of 10, another brilliant performance by clooney.

and to end the day

Ocean's eleven : a perfect movie:), have seen this movie arnd 10 times and its always fun to watch it again

that i must say was a good day :)

PS. yes the leh posts are still not here and they are taking time.:P

Ladakh Day 1 ... part 1 ... (22/08/08) ...

2008-09-19T16:35:00.002+05:30

So the day to start finally arrived on 22nd of Aug and we were all geared up. Well .. almost.

(Actually i wasn't even ready with my stuff the day before :D. With lots of last minute shopping including Shoes, I somehow managed to get things packed and was almost ready to go. )

So i woke up at 3 got ready at 4:15 .. all packed .. and called T to find out where he was. At 5am we met outside the oberoi hotel in delhi. And our journey started at around 5:15 in the morning. The clouds were there, but were not that threatening. So we started with leh in our minds.

The morning ride was quite ok, not too good cos the road just arnd the delhi border was not in a very good condition (this was the impression on the very first day), but still ok we were excited enough that this didn’t mattered much and we took our first break at murthal. Some 56kms were covered in abt an hour. We stopped to have some tea, but didn’t eat any thing there.

The eating breakfast part came some 80 kms and 2 hours later (8:30am) at Zilmil Dhaba.. Now this is a place that you have to have Paranthas ! :) . It did drizzled arnd panipat which by the way is a great place to just cos of the new flyover they have, its just so easy to cross panipat now.

When we were not sure that it will actually rain so we never covered out bags, as you can see in this photo.

From Ladakh - Day1

(yes ! I was carrying that much of load , and yes a I need to learn to ride lighter ! :P, T was on his bajaj avenger, the bullet is mine. )

So as the clouds were getting darker we thought we cover the bags and then go ahead, but after 50% unpacking we thought well its not gonna rain so lets just ride and see what will happen.

And and and … it started raining arnd ambala.

Cont….

The leh post should not be taken as a inspiration to do your own adventure.

We took many precautions, did loads of research, took many risks and had some bad days on the way too. But that was our choice, our risk, our life.

The trip is as risky as it can get. So be careful about what you decide about anything you do about going to leh.

Think ..

end of the world !

How we got Leh’d - Intro

2008-09-10T18:36:00.001+05:30

(yes finally I’m going to start about the trip ! and the story abt the headline will come sometime later )

After my last unsuccessful try to reach leh on my Bullet (yeah its not just another “bike” .. it is an Enfield Bullet :P) I was pretty determined to do it someday. I tried and tried but nothing eventually happened for about 3 years

And then just like that one day sometime in april-may 2008, I was just chatting and bragging about my last trip on the bike, Tanmoy (a colleague had who just bought a brand new Bajaj Avenger) said that we should do that Leh trip.

And then it all began. As days went by we got serious about the trip. We actually made lots of plans on paper and collected loads of info, trying to make sure that the trip goes as smooth as possible. The first date we planned was 10th of Aug, but cos of Rakhi we moved the plans to 17th of Aug

Here are some of the trip plans/ preparation plans / maps we used for our reference.

Final trip Details : http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd3xn8fx_17gmc7rfcr
Prepration details : http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd3xn8fx_15fzphw3f5
Himachal Map : http://surindersingh.googlepages.com/MAPhim.jpg
Road Condition : http://surindersingh.googlepages.com/Manali-leh.gif (this turned out to be a nice help, but this also turned out to be pretty wrong at place)

But the best doc is this one The First Draft of the Trip

We planned everything, from where to stop , what time to stop, where to eat, where to sleep .. everything !

But .. nothing actually turned up according to that plan or any plan we made

what else could have happened ..

2008-08-04T12:43:00.001+05:30

After a long time i took my Bullet (it not a bike !:P) out.

It ran pretty good for a while, then it started to stutter which i thght was cos of the low fuel. And i turned the switch to reserve. But that didnt worked.

It stopped :(. I tried and tried for a while but something was not ok.
I was arnd panchsheel, and there was no mechanic for another 1 km ! (just the thght of pushing a Bullet for 1km can be a painful exp for a lot of people)
AND it was cloudy too, almost at the verge of raining !
Had no clue what the Fook happend. I just got it serviced a while back so it should not have happened !

And then suddenly after abt 5 mins, 1 lucky kick and the Bullet was back! Live ! ready to go :)
PHEW!!!

(i guess i need to take it back to the service center, for another checkup before the trip)

Checkup

The dark knight is back

2008-07-22T14:30:00.002+05:30

i was in college when i saw batman forever, at that time that movie seemed quite a lot of fun to me. here is the trailer of batman forever.

Notice the neon light, flashy clothes, flashy cars. most of the things really unbeliveable/stupid. but at that time it all looked quite fun at that time to me and my friends.

but then came batman begins ( batman and robin came in between .. but lets not even mention it in batman series) and it changed the series completely. Much more real and much much better.

and then comes "the dark knight"

which is now the top movie in imdb's top 250 list !

Gotta go and see it at IMAX,

just need to find out the time to do that :)

what to do !

2008-07-07T17:14:00.002+05:30

the instability in J&K is shaking up my planned trip :) !

dont know if this is good or bad ..

but right now i'll have to make a "Plan B" ... hmm

thats dancing :)

have to do this before 55 ! :)

2008-06-30T12:32:00.001+05:30

"In 2003, I was already 55 years old. When am I going to fulfill my dreams? I knew, I had to do this soon while I was still able to travel and use my legs to trek in the mountains. So, in September 2003, I decided to retire from work and take up travel"

this is what "mr srinivas" did

but i dont think i can wait till 55 !!

i'll have to do a lot more before that.

one of the things that i will be doing (hopefull if things go as planned) , is to go to leh this year .. again !

yups, again on the my bullet, i guess i have to finish what i left in between last time.

George Carlin

2008-06-23T15:39:00.002+05:30

George carlin died today. I have posted abt him earlier also. Here are more quotes from him

Just cause you got the monkey off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten

I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that ..

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things (kinda controversial here, some say it is said by him. some say he did now. you decide)

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy

Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed it.
----------

RIP George Carlin.

the big switch

2008-02-18T15:05:00.006+05:30

Shyam made this big switch sometime back. And now i have made one too, I have finally given up on windows XP .. ( i think , i know i will have to open that once in while initially ) ..

My laptop is running Ubuntu now, and it seems it will work pretty good for me. I've been planning to make this move for a long time, but never did it. The dual boot was always there with centos (it's still there actually ) but never made this big switch.

Now with Ubuntu it looks like i'll remain here.

Also another update, i got this small nice thing in my hands now ..

i also got this lens with it :D

so i think i'll start posting some photos too ( if i find the time to click :D )

2008-01-03T13:05:00.001+05:30

work doesnt allow me to do this !! :(( .. i get this luxurious sleep only on sundays !

everybody should see this movie

2008-01-03T10:23:00.000+05:30

and i'm just saying what has already been said so many times .. that "taare zameen par" is a beautiful movie ..

and everyone should watch this ..

and yes this is not a aamir khans(the actor) movie .. this is a Darsheel Safary movie ... produced and directed brilliantly by aamir khan.. the kid is just brilliant ..

also the music is really good .. i realised this after watching the movie .. the songs fit so well in the movie that you have to love all the songs !

so go and watch this movie and tell all your friends to do that !

another year, another play :)

2007-12-31T13:30:00.000+05:30

Scent of a Woman

2007-12-02T02:21:00.000+05:30

i've been watching a lot of movies lately .. so i was thinking that i can actually recommend some really good movies too !! :) .. that movies that i watch do include some weird (but still good) movies which i'll skip .. so i'll do that .. i really dont have much get time to write .. and one of the reason for no time is movies !! :D .. so here we go ..

Scent of a Woman

One of the best movies, written, directed, acted .. Al pacino at his best .. and that itself should make you go and get this movie ! .. he plays the part of a blind man and he makes you believe that its a blind man who is playing that part !!! just watch the scene below and you'll see what i mean ..

Whoo-ah

simply amazing,

and here are some of the other really good quotes from the movie

Lt. Col. Frank Slade: You're in no position disagree with me, boy. I got a loaded .45 here. You got pimples.
-----------------------------
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay.
-----------------------------
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: The day we stop lookin', Charlie, is the day we die.
-----------------------------

actually there a lot of them .. which i dont want to paste here .. so go here and enjoy !

me .. kinda lucky

Originality

2007-10-08T01:13:00.000+05:30

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

i've done this too !! :D

2007-10-01T16:29:00.000+05:30

"rm -rf /var/www/* … wait, which server am I logged into?"

hehe .. thankfully it was on a local server .. i did lose some scripts/data .. but thankfully it was under control !

but yes .. rm -rf .. the scariest thing ever !! :)..

also .. this is pretty good too .. "The first rule of career planning: Do not plan your career." .. i totally agree with this guy !

the bucket list

2007-09-18T13:24:00.000+05:30

thats the name of the movie coming out next year .. Jack Nicholson & Morgan Freeman star in it ... and it looks like a pretty good movie .. it is about two terminally ill men who escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.

a TO-Do list .. i guess everyone has one in his/her mind .. here is one online !

but i dont want to be get terminally ill and then think about what to do about it ! ..

So today .. lemme start one .. there is no order its just whatever comes to my mind first .. hmm ..

Drive a Ferrari : Looks pretty achievable .. someday i will .. i dont care which one is it .. but any ferrari will be ok !.. the dream come true would be a F1.. but that looks pretty tough one.. but who knows what turns life takes you through :)

P.S.: I've taken a day off from office

weekend madness ..

2007-08-14T01:37:00.000+05:30

windows crashed on me after a long long time .. and it was fun to see a message "ntsokrnl.exe not found " .. yups it actually felt good to see that message ! .. it took me back to my college days .. when almost every week we (me and my group of geeky friends) were crashing our windows installation and then rushing to each others house to get the one " bootable floppy disk" .. that was back when we were still on the good old windows 98SE ..

this time it was differnt .. win2k .. and there are no more "bootable floppy disks" around anymore .. i wonder if people are still using floppies ? cos i havent touched one in around 2-3 years now ..

well back to the prob .. one of the partitions didnt liked the way i was treating it .. so it stopped working .. and wasnt responding at all .. so had to get the hdd out .. and then mount it on a friends machine to get a backup of the data ! :) .. was good fun .. sitting at my friends house .. waiting for that dreadded format to finish and then see how many bad clusters do i have on the disk now :) ..

the reinstallation at home ended at 2am .. and then i took a 7am flight to banglore ! :) had a 6 hour long meeting .. came back to delhi .. and right now its almost 2am again ..

I'm loving it ! :)

deeeeepppp

You Know Google Crossed a Limit When...

2007-02-10T01:28:00.000+05:30

... your doctor tells you that according to Google, you should be alright.
... the horror flick displays life insurance advertisements whenever the slasher shows up.
... you’re being dumped because of something you said in your blog 8 years ago.
... your colleague asks why they’re not invited to the barbecue he’s seeing on your garden’s real time satellite imagery.
... you’re searching for yourself to discover new stuff.
... Google’s book search scanned your diary.
... Google’s Blogger service starts announcing uptimes, not downtimes.
... Google understands you better than your spouse.
... Google’s online word processor introduces a talking paper clip.
... a Google ad is actually relevant.

You got a dream, you gotta protect it.

People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it.

You want something? Go get it.

Period.

when the children cry

2006-12-14T01:47:00.000+05:30

little child
dry your crying eyes
how can I explain
the fear you feel inside
cause you were born
into this evil world
where man is killing man
but no one knows just why
what have we become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again

when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

little child
you must show the way
to a better day
for all the young
cause you were born
for all the world to see
that we all can live
with love and peace
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god

when the children cry
let them know we tried
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

what "have we" become
just look what we have done
all that we destroyed
you must build again
no more presidents
and all the wars will end
one united world
under god

when the children cry
let them know we tried
when the children fight
let them know it ain't right
when the children pray
let them know the way
cause when the children sing
then the new world begins

Learings From Homer Simpson

2006-09-04T09:56:00.000+05:30

When someone tells you your butt is on fire, you should take them at their word.

If you want results, press the red button. The rest are useless.

You should just name your third kid Baby. Trust me -- it'll save you a lot of hassle.

You can have many different jobs and still be lazy.

You can get free stuff if you mention a product in a magazine interview. Like Chips Ahoy! cookies.

There are some things that just aren't meant to be eaten.

I don't need a surgeon telling me how to operate on myself.

Sometimes I think there's no reason to get out of bed . . . then I feel wet, and I realize there is.

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll get a hook caught on his eyelid or something.

Always feel with your heart, although it's better with your hands.

right now !

2006-08-05T17:18:00.000+05:30

Right now.. Hey! It's your tomorrow
Right now.. Come on, it's everything
Right now.. Catch your magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything

Miss a beat, you lose a rhythm
An nothin' falls into place. No!
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace. Oh!

The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for another
Workin' so hard to make it easy
Whoa, got to turn. Come on, turn this thing around

Right now.. Hey, it's your tomorrow
Right now.. Come on, it's everything
Right now.. catch that magic moment
Do it right here and now
It means everything

ain't so

alone ...

2006-05-19T23:08:00.000+05:30

Who’s gonna be my savior
Now that I’ve learned to believe
Who’s gonna be the answer
To all of my questioning

Well, I hope I’m not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a cause
Are not faint whisperings

Who’s gonna wear my crown
Who’s gonna wear my crown
I don’t know
I just might, alone

Who’s gonna wear my crown
Who’s gonna wear my crown
I don’t know
I just got to go my way

note this down !

2006-03-31T11:39:00.000+05:30

blogging that is .. have been trying to get back into the "blogging groove" .. but its bhery bhery difficult ! ..

more responsibilities at work .. and then the bigger responsibilities at home now :D .. then all those dinners/receptions/marriages ... dont know how and when i'll get some time .. (hopefully in another month or 2 all these dinners will finish !! ) ..

this also tells me what a big vela i was before this .. :) .. posting 4-5 messages every day !!! :) .. hmm .. and i still dont think its too difficult to do that .. its just that i guess i'm a bit rusty right now .. so it might take time to pick up :D ..

so till then .. have fun .. i'll try to post whenever possible :)

"A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first."

"Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous."

"The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you."

"Whores don't live in company of poor men, citizens never support a weak company and birds don't build nests on a tree that doesn't bear fruits."
