Scary shit this is...


Time - Pink FLoyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way
The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

 Having well understood the futility of new year resolutions, this time, I did not even make any... Especially about writing regularly and posting it on my blog.

And that's something I want to rectify now.

A song by Patrick Swayze, this song's from the movie "Dirty Dancing".. Surprisingly ( or not so...

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(She's like the wind)
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind

(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)

Being to concerts has the same effect on people as sitting in class...They go into the "Deep Sleep" mode! The result is that you are wide awake in the middle of the night, trying to think of something to do.. I chose to run through the chats that I've had with a cross-section of friends, straddling time-zones and occupations.. Here's a small sample of the gyaan that I've been given... 

“blub glub dub glub

uuwendkioerxtryz

tonga tonga tonga

ding ding ding”

 
“One-liners belong in status messages; multiple paragraphs in blogs”

 “ The world s**ks”

“I am just a dream rider”

“Can’t you leave a decent comment for once????” 

“pichhle saat dinon mein maine khoya

kabhi khud pe hansa main,

aur kabhi khud pe roya”

“Am busy doing assignments. Do something useful too!”

“Don’t you dare drive!!”

“Karo wahi jo Dil Chahta Hai !!! “


Looks like I ain't the only gyaan guru around ;) 

Long time, no blog!

Music:	The ticking of my watch

My workplace is so quiet today that I can hear my watch ticking!

This is Array, A Array.

Being in the middle of the longest break he's ever had since he began his formal education ( which was by attending class exactly one day throughout all of the first year ;)  ) ,  Harsh(a)  [whichever way you prefer it ;)  ] is now officially jobless! Ever since his graduation in March, he's been keeping himself busy with odd jobs round the house, making plans for that 'big' trip of his.. including:

• A bike trip to the North-East
• Scuba diving in  the Antarctic Ocean
  
• Camel training at Addis Ababa
• A hike to Bhutan
• Making sand castles in the Kalahari
• Figuring out if they eat frozen Gobi manchurian after dinner at the Gobi desert  [ It's a cold des(s)ert, you see! ]
  
• A month long mountaineering course at Darjeeling / Shivalik Himalayas
• Fishing for crocodiles in the Periyar lake
• Planting mango trees in his family orchard, so that he too can tell his grandchildren that they (the humonguously huge mango trees) were "this" tall when he was young

Flower, flower everywhere, not a flower to eat.

Note:
1) The last flower refers to Cauliflower....
2) And I seem to have a sudden longing for gobi manchurian.

Starting today, I shall start posting chapters of my latest blockbuster - "The *** Omnibus"

It was supposed to be a bright sunny day where we would all gather in the breathtakingly beautiful Open Air Theatre and get our degree certificates from The Guru himself ;)

Instead, it turned out to be a damp affair, with the rain gods deciding to weep with joy to mark the passing of PGP 10 ;) And weep they did! With bucketloads of water on the jealously guarded lawns and the sun deciding to take the weekend off, we were left with no option but to be prepared for all eventualities. After all, as managers with one of the best pedigrees across the globe, we needed a risk-mitigation strategy and an impact analysis matrix so as to ensure that our project would not throw any unforeseen issues that would affect quality output and give less than optimal results to all stakeholders involved. [Yay! I can finally spout management jargon!!!]

This essentially ensured that we had done scenario gaming exercises, also called rehersals, making reasonable assumptions and applying probable buffers for most situations [English – we went through the entire program multiple times…]

With the rain Gods playing hide and seek, it was finally decided that we’d all assemble into our auditorium while our parents would watch a live telecast of the proceedings from the classrooms. Talk of watching it on a 70mm screen!! I do hope this is taken forward to it’s logical end and a live webcast of the entire ceremony be made from next year on.

Anyway, with my folks coming over and the usual oohs and aahs on how beautiful our campus was, how it seemed more of a resort than a b-school, it was quite some fun!

By tomorrow evening, PGP10 will be history...

<text to be written when i start feeling senti> [no, not senti as in Senti a.k.a Senthilnathan... senti as in 'sentimental' ]

Some things are just impossible. For everything else, there is PGP10!  \m/   \m/

You Are From Uranus

You shine with brilliant creativity, and you're more than a little eccentric. You love everything unusual and shocking. You're one far-out chick or dude. Anything unconventional excites you - and you have genius potential. Just don't let your rebel side get the best of you, or else you'll alienate everyone. Your original thinking and funky attitude is all you need to be you.

You're a Total Grinch

Ouch! You make the Grinch seem like Santa Claus. Holidays definitely aren't your thing. Just relax, and create your own tradition. Even if it's drinking spiked hot chocolate and heckling carolers.

You Could Definitely Be a Vampire

Immortality, staying pretty forever, not having to get a job... you could definitely eat some flesh for these things. It's not that you're a murderer by nature. In fact, you're probably the furthest thing from it. However, if you woke up a vampire, you'd certainly be able to adapt and enjoy your new lifestyle. There might not be much better than living forever, even if it means giving up your soul. What you would like best about being a vampire: Being a total outsider What you would like least about being a vampire: Other vampires
