God's iPod

I had gone to a place today details unnecessary, there was a religious setting to it.......and the context is also similar....... where in the back ground was a constant drone of some familiar shlokas, religious songs and mantras kinda thing goin on.....when i looked for the source of the low volumed series of chants, i found a small box plugged into the electric socket! First impression was "hmmm...cool!?"

Then at a later moment in time, a discussion on that funny lil "godbox" came up and I found out that it was a pretty versatile box indeed! It could "store" about 54 different shlokas....and there were options like repeating a set of shlokas, or even one shloka for that matter, thruout the day!!

Truly, the wonders of God and Electronics have merged in a beautiful union to form God's own lil iPod is what i thought!!!

get together!?

Yes i am a lil bit confused as to waht exactly happened today at lunch coz karan seemed to think that get togethers are pretty formal events and our meeting that happened to day for lunch at the Oriental Spice on Infantry road was supposed (and intended)to be pretty informal.

Yappa........just to mention that i had gone out to lunch with some college friends yeshtu deliberation alla?

Anyways, after Oriental Spice since "apparently" none of us wanted to go home sweet home(padma would want to disagree.....all she wants to do thru out the week is to go home), we landed up in Barista on St Marks Road......Had some stupid Hazelnut Cappuchino there.....stupid it was (and the word is borrowed from Swetha actually) coz i did NOT find any traces of hazelnut that they claim to have added to the coffee.....came bak home and had another cup of coffee and tasted the same.......

Oh totally forgot.......Today's buffet lunch was courtesy Samanvitha Kumar and Swetha Rao, two unbeatable IBM stipend getters! Kudos again to their effort!!! Without which we would not have had this treat.........

Also, Karan bought a new bike today.....well yesterday actually.....Its a Pulsar 150 with Alloy wheels and Nitrous oxide(ya laughing gas all in his bike......funny fellow he is actually !)

Also, It was a pretty cold rainy day.........apart from the warmth generated from the mindless, aimless teasing session (mostly that is all that actually happened....makes me kinda sad.....nobody ganged up on me actually thankfully....the axe fell hard on pragnya actually....we all left peaceful, happy looking forward to the next weekend where hopefully all of us would meet again using some other probably posh venue ending up in coffee day, while all through the week we slog in our regular jobs with our routines, dreaming abt our weekend meet up to eat expensive, probably even harmful food with weird chemicals in it)inside the oriental spice thingy restaurant, I have been rather cold through out the weekend........

oopsie

The topic of my previous blog was supposed to be "Ganesha....nesha.....nesha...sha"

Sorry for the slip up....got caught up in hello

Hello all .......

I am happy today!

This happiness is a carried over joy from yesterday's play Hayavadana by BENAKA at the Bangalore's Colosseum RangaShankara!!!

Written by Gnana Peetha prashasti vijeta Dr.Girish Karnad and directed by the gr8 B.V Karanth, yest evening could not have been spent in a better way i guess. And that too due to the kindness of a stranger who happened to have ONE(yes exactly one!!) extra ticket on a Wednesday Evening at a House Full RS !!! I mean was that just perfect or what?!? Would also like to draw attention to the fact that RS was housefull on a Mid weekday!! Hmmmm namma bangalore starting to appreciate art?!? Good for them !!

Anyways, although the play is too long (2 and a half hours!!! of pure awesome talent disply tho )to be described here, what i would like to emphasize for anybody who is convinced by this post to go n watch it(yeah next weekend replay) is the nature of this play. Its basically a fictional story with such a wicked sense of humour set into the storyline, and the main thing that attracted my attention was that it was an outright traditional nataka! song, dance and pure acting talent and emotional display( everything YES everything done by the actors themselves! no choreography/playback singing here NO SIR!!)

Now lemme get to the piece of news that has maintained my state of happiness....for some this might be a 'ohhhhhhhh ishte na piece of news' but for me ........ ahhhhhhh

The following football jerseys are scheduled to arrive in Bangalore courtesy my brother's awesomely good deed!!! :

here goes....these are four players whose skill n talent i adore n respect : They are probably 4 of THE greatest in the world right now.....in short, put all of em in one team and u have a winner!!!!

P.S : the topic of this blog is a part of a song sung yesterday at RangaShankara in the wonderful play!!

Ryan Giggs - Man Utd.....MAN is he an awesome player!?!!!


Dennis (the Menace) BergKamp - Arsenal....not just menace! threat for other teams!!


Ronaldinho Gaucho - Barcelona ..... the catalan king!!!


Arjen Robben - Chelsea.....The ace up Chelsea's sleeve!!

yesterday

Yesterday i played pool with a baboon(no no its jus a simile.....not areal baboon)

Twas a waste of time.......che all the things i could have done in that time

And money.....I regret it when money is spent that way no matter what amount.

Eh?

Swalpa perplexed is what you are when a website flashes you the message :

LOADING DOWNLOAD..

!!!!!!!!!!!

(S)Team(y) meeting!

Ok ok b4 all the pervs go off their rockers what i meant by steam was a tough lil situation my mentor put me in by mentioning my strengths/skills/interests slide of his presentation( my mentor is the most exp guy in my division and also the div head : which means i am screwed)

He was sayin some cocky thing or the other bout everybody and when i scanned the slide quickly for my name, i found to my exasperation :

Murali : how-to-yawn, F1 racing

I am like ehhhhhhhhhhh??

I was bloddy ****in(felt like using the stars this time....not in a bad mood to say the word out loud) embarassed!!! When had he caught me yawning so many times to make that comment?! When many such things were runnin in mah head, he turns to me n says "No offence murali but i am talkin abt ur diagram"


A huge oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh came out of me !! The other day when griz had come to my cubicle sayin he was eggstremely sleepy he had written a neat lil Functional Diagram abt yawning describing it in three steps.........no rfcs to reproduce the diagram!

And so now i may have ppl comin over for yawn tutorials! nothin has happened yet but I think it functioned as a cute lil icebreaker!!

And another thing that i learnt today amidst all the Techtalk (which made a lil more sense than the last one.......only teeny tiny!! ) is that our team has won a lakh of rupees which might be spent on a team outing!!!!!! Jingaxe is what i felt asa i found tht out!!! Maybe i'll get a jacket too!!!

Things do seem to be picking up here in HPVille!! More to come maybe soon.........

Time and again, she repeats lets be friends
I smile and say yes, another truth bends i must confess

I try to let go but i know
we'll never end til we're dust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust

God help me please on my knees
Betrayed by lust

How could this be happening to me
I’m lying when I say, ’trust me’
I can’t believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering

----------------------------

I'm diggin my way,
I'm diggin my way to something,
I'm diggin my way to something better,

----------------------------

Trust

Sorry if this is repeated :

Apt.......parts of it

Give up possessiveness

Lost in a dream
Nothing is what it seems
Searching my head
For the words that you said
Tears filled my eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
The sad scene replays
Of you walking away

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

Time and again
She repeats let’s be friends
I smile and say yes
Another truth bends,
I must confess

I try to let go, but I know
We’ll never end ’til we’re dust
We lied to each other again
But I wish I could trust

My body aches from mistakes
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
That in nothing we trust

God help me please, on my knees
Betrayed by lust
We lied to each other so much
Now there’s nothing we trust

How could this be happening to me
I’m lying when I say, ’trust me’
I can’t believe this is true
Trust hurts
Why does trust equal suffering

Absolutely nothing we trust

I must let go......some point of time

No questions or RFCs entertained...
This is just a note to myself as i go thru myself someday

heed the subject closely ally. It is starting to become serious now. What you felt today was not something to be ignored but only beware. Remember the "dual confusion" and how it was almost resolved today.

Actually i can almost feel myself reading this and not having a clue abt what i am talking abt myself. So remember tht u r an "emotional" person and consider THIS as the first step to realising what all this is about.

Welcome

Hello the two of you.........
Ya yu both only pa!

Welcome bak......bangalore must be like heaven aye? with all the "free" stuff that u can NOW get but were deprived of?

Im really really glad you both are back(dono why in this magnitude tho...but well ive always been an emotional person.......an attrib which has prob worked against me most of the time!!)

STILL loving you

Time, it needs time
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

Fight, babe, I'll fight
To win back your love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, only love
Can break down the walls someday.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?
I'm loving you.

Try, baby try
To trust in my love again.
I will be there, I will be there.

Love, your love
Just shouldn't be thrown away.
I will be there, I will be there.

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Your pride has build a wall, so strong
That I can't get through.
Is there really no chance
To start once again?

If we'd go again
All the way from the start,
I would try to change
The things that killed our love.

Yes I've hurt your pride, and I know
What you've been through.
You should give me a chance
This can't be the end.

I'm still loving you.
I'm still loving you,
I need your love.
I'm still loving you.
Still loving you, baby...

The more i think itll be ok the more they go and fuck with my head!!!!

St. Anger round my neck
St. Anger round my neck
He never gets respect
St. Anger round my neck

(Its rushing out, Its rushing out)
St. Anger round my neck
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
He never gets respect
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
St. Anger round my neck
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
He never gets respect

[Chorus:]
Fuck it all and no regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuck regrets
I hit the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose I hang myself
St. Anger round my neck

I feel my world shake
I can't look away
Hard to see clear
Is it me
Or is it fear?

I'm madly in anger with you [2x]

St. Anger round my neck
St. Anger round my neck
He never gets respect
St. Anger round my neck

(Its rushing out, Its rushing out)
St. Anger round my neck
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
He never gets respect
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
St. Anger round my neck
(It's rushing out, It's rushing out)
He never gets respect

[Chorus]

I feel my world shake
I can't look away
Hard to see clear
Is it me
Or is it fear?

I'm madly in anger with you [4x]

I want my anger to be healthy
I want my anger just for me
I need my anger not to control
I want my anger to be me

I need set my anger free
I need to set my anger free
Set it free!

[Chorus]

I feel my world shake
I can't look away
Hard to see clear
Is it me
Or is it fear?

I'm madly in anger with you [4x]

This blog was originally supposed to be titled "The mother of all that is good and clean - Parineeta"

Instead a bird crapped on me as i was leaving for office.......

And here i am now wishing i had a smoke, rather than be here.......

My head is about to burst open because i'm playing the above mentioned song at volume 100 approx....next in line is all within my hands

Funny, because it SEEMS not to be......

Sarve Janaha sukhino bhavanthu?!?! Am i not included in sarve janaha?
maybe not is what i am learning today.......

Repeated in and out wiht me was wat happened today......maybe theres a limit to politeness and i will find it out today.......

Parineeta reminds me of yesterdays fun(something which i may never ever have again......what is this?!? a dementor attack?!?!) Parineeta was excellence.....is sorry......its brilliance........its accuracy.....its fabulous.......its REAL WATCHABLE CINEMA......at this point may the makers of bunty aur babli be executed under the guillotine....ah what?! who first? the slut rani will do........

The day started with sleuth...pawan kumar, a young college drop out( that word is an insult to him.....he is an insult to us) who is a one power packed bundle of talent...the whole play consists only of two ppl which makes it even more challenging....he he the snide comments, the plot ,the acting what all should i mention uh? GOOD GOOD EXCELLENT!!

Then we went to PVR only to find all counters screaming on the mikes some movie name and the words 'sold out'! So we had to make do with Urvashi which seems to be becoming another swagath(or maybe plaza?!).....But we soon forgot the third class crowd and the bad seating as VVC(vidhu vinod chopra) easily introduced to 1962 Calcutta.....and then the rest was just pure talent taking over....Vidya Balan can knock off the aishwaryas and ranis with one expression or dialogue of hers...just might be a flawless perf from her!!

And then saif!! hai hai....in2 the hands of a right director n he can make magic which he proved in DCH.....Sanju dazzles in his pretty small role again courtesy VVC......PPl behind movie awesome job guys!!!!!

Bye

too fucking good

A drum beats for me, it's louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon I'll meet my judgment day
Life's an endless showdown never knowing when they'll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun

The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief

The megadeth the great!!!!!

i met a funny, good spirited auto driver yesterday amidst all the mental chaos......
He did manage to put a smile on my face with his genuine interest to drive an auto and the amount of enjoyment he derived from cursing about driving in the summer heat!! He used to find spots of shade in the road and call that his talent......i do agree with him, it IS a talent

And on the other hand we have Mr . "Illa buddy"......... He takes pride in writing the NDA(non disclosure agreement) for his project report.......today he managed to "hand" my brain(talege kai hakodu) ultimately!!

ha?!

when pain turns into anger, u listen to paint anger!!!!

=))

good one bye me again..............

kill kill kill kill kill

I cannot sleep with a head like this......
I wanna cry, i wanna scream
i rage i glaze i burn i hate
i wanna hate it all away

REmoooooooooooooooooootely feeling that stuff..........i'm a realist

thats where I want to be........the open skies

The desire to shoot harsha is overwhelming!!

Not every day do i get this urge!! I wanna shoot him, or slowly poison him to death. I also thought of electrocution as i was in my bath tub today.(ooooooooooo dark blog!!! fuck you all!!)

Karan will watch clockwork orange in his very simple life.

Paddy will drive home with KRISHNA(of course who ELSE?? grz mayb)

Griz will go home and pretend nothing is happening.

Latha's status is unknown as usual.

Ashwin is absconding from my life( A solitary sms frm him today enquiring abt my project)

Krishna will be smiling all the time.(I havent seen the dark side of him.........starting to believe tho that evrybody need not have that side)
He will go off to IIT.......uh bombay is it?? who cares, some IIT.........

Swetha was very consoling and sweet today......thats all.

I felt something there.......she was tryin to tell me that she is all weird also(like me is what she implied??)

I thought i knew it all
I thought i had it made

How does megadeth come up with such fucking,stunning, lyrics??? I wanna hang harsha at the perfect fit that those guys make.

I feel like vomitting every time i think of saturday.......

Oh i forgot a line.........How could it end this way?

Also, currently at this point of TIME i hate two ppl from the above list.......

Oh and i want to thank Sheetal, Div and gang and sush and gang for somehow delaying the visit to motorola today. Otherwise i would have probably killed harsha today, instead of having just thoughts about it.

I will go now.........One KING awaits me......

And my ties are severed clean

they're back!!!

Yes....
Funny salty sweet little boomerang shaped biscuits are back!! I've asked for it to the vendor here for like a million times!! had forgotten bout it and here they are......!!!!

They make for a good timepass treat!! Oh boy they will b fun today.....takin them home!

Oh btw chlormint roks!
