The people in my class

Deaf Leopards

I am still laughing.

Well actually I came across a site which posted Funny lyrics (Some of them were actually not heard properly). Some of them are HIlarious !!!!!

Check them Out :-

REM - Losing my Religion
The real lyrics were:
That's me in the corner,
That's me in the spotlight.

But I misheard them as:
Let's pee in the corner,
Let's pee in the spotlight.

Smells like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

The real lyrics were:
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contaigous
Here we are now entertain us

But I misheard them as:
With the salad its less dangerous
Here we are now with potatoes
With a mars bar, and potatoes
And some salad and potatoes

Michelle , Ma belle - The Beatles

The real lyrics were:
Michelle ma belle,
sont les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble,
tres bien ensemble.

But I misheard them as:
Michelle ma belle,
some say monkeys play piano well,
play piano well.

You can check out all the fun here.

Over the air

Well, as far as I know, there are 6 radio stations in Bangalore. And for the moment, it looks good. But can a broadcasting business pay off ?

I liked all the siz radio stations and it makes driving , a pleasure (abt 70% of the time).

Here are the radio stations :-

102.9 - Vividh Bharathi/ Aakashwaani or whatever
The old legacy style programming and presentation continues and sometimes it is good. But I seriously doubt, who will listen to Raitharige Salahe kind of programs in the city

101.3 - FM Rainbow
Predominantly Kannada and Hindi songs.It is miles better than 102.9. The signal strength is weak and the Radio Jockey programming is very mediocre. But I guess , it caters to the older folk. I am not saying that I am very young. hehehe.

98.3 - Radio Mirchi
The RJ's try to speak some form of Yuppie Kannada and I hate that...I can imitate some of them...Although a lot of money has been invested in this channel it is going down because of the RJs. They are not that good.

94.3 - Radio One
I like this channel because of a right amount of Kannada and Hindi songs.Kannada is definitely given a good coverage here (in the programming and the RJing) and I feel the RJs are good (but not as good as Radio City),

91.0 - Radio City
They have the best RJs no doubt abt that. Bangalore's oldest Privately owned Radio station.But the ads are very frequent.THey play Hindi , Kannada and English songs.English songs in the night.The interviews are all very well planned.

91.9 - Radio Indigo, MY FAVORITE!
Only English! The whole channel is only english
They dont use words like "sakkath" or "soni kudi" or "praaji" or whatever! The RJs are pretty experienced.

But I am not sure whether this radio station will survive....Nobody will feel like advertising abt "Kaveri Silks Emporium" in a channel where the latest Mark Knopfler single is being released. By the way , they also have a good website. Check it out here.

Ramblin' Woman

FADE IN:
A huge biker drives a Harley Davidson at a constant speed on a seemingly endless road . The biker is in black leathers and wears a huge helmet with a black glass .

BIKER
(NARRATING)
It is the fifth day of August.
Just five years ago on the same day, I married Angela.
She was like my chopper.
"Smooth" is the word... I could see the sun in her eyes on the day of my marriage.

The wind howls, and the sound of the Harley fills the air.

BIKER
(NARRATING)
My marriage with Angela didnt last long. I loved her.She loved me.She hated my temper and carelessness.I thought she was crazy.After she left me, I shaved my head and took my chopper and rode straight away, down South....... I hoped nothing would go wrong again.

BIKER
(NARRATING)
Old Barney told me to do things in MY WAY.I thought abt old dead Barney's words seriously for the first time.I wanted to go on long rides ...To understand lives , people and the roads.And ofcourse, for the kicks.


BACKGROUND MUSIC : A Jazz musician mutters in the background.

The day fades into a night.The biker disappears into the darkness.

EXT. SOMEWHERE DOWN SOUTH - NIGHT

GEORGE, a STURDY MAN in his thirties walks with his head facing the ground.He sees a Harley Davidson bike and he asks for a hitch.

The BIKER (from the prev scene) stops the bike.

GEORGE
Thanks mate. My name is George.You going to New Orleans ?

The BIKER doesnt speak.The biker just nods a "yes".

George feels his pockets, to take some money out.

GEORGE
I dont have money mate. I am a pig farmer and I sold my pigs. Debt is horrible thing.I just need some help.Can you drop me at New Orleans, please ?

BIKER
Money aint necessary mate.Come along.

GEORGE
I can give you my blanket , The cold is devilish.We can rig up a tent nearby.

BIKER
Not necessary. Just jump along buddy.I will drive to Orleans in the night.

George gets on the bike and the biker starts. There is no wind and the night is really calm.

A beautiful night.

GEORGE
Whats your story, mate ?Looks like you are travelling for the kicks ?

BIKER
Well, it is the same old story. My wife left me.

GEORGE
Hahaha...So why you goin' to New Orleans buddy.

BIKER
I will be in time for the Mardi Gras Carnival .i've heard they have a real good time there, now ......

(PAUSE)

BIKER
Why did you sell your pigs, mate ?

GEORGE
Well...Thats a big lesson I learnt. As a pig farmer, I have noticed that there are two types of pigs. The little piggies which wriggle in the dirt and the bigger piggies who give loans to farmers like us. I got tricked by the bigger piggies.So I had to sell my little piggies.

BIKER
Thats true. Everywhere, there are a lot of "pigs".

GEORGE
By the way, do you take coke ?Marijuana? I have got it tucked up from Mexico.

BIKER
I dig that sh*t !!! I knew you were not an ordinary guy!It's been a while since I have doped.

BIKER
Where have you kept the dope?

GEORGE
In my bag.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
Old habits just die hard. I wanted to take my acid trip , right there

BIKER
(TO GEORGE)
I'll stop my chopper and we will have it.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
And thats how, GEORGE and I got down. I cant forget that night.Little did I know that it was George's last day in this world.

A LOUD BANG! of a gunshot is heard.

EXT. NEXT MORNING - DAY

George is dead with a shot on his forehead as the biker,standing, wearing his helmet, says a prayer in front of George.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
I had to kill George.He was a pig.I found Angela's photo in his wallet. I couldnt control my temper.I hated the man who snatched the woman from me without my knowledge.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
I also found out that she lived somewhere nearby.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
Suddenly I no longer felt like going to New Orleans.I drove back to say Angela , I loved her.

EXT. ANGELA's HOUSE - DAY

Angela is a pretty blonde who is just perfect.

Well. Not quite.

She sits facing the PHOTO of a red-haired woman, RACHEL with tears in eyes.

The biker enters and removes her helmet.

The biker is a WOMAN. She is Rachel.

ANGELA
How have you been, Rachel ?

Angela notices Rachel's shaved head.

ANGELA
You look different.

BIKER/RACHEL
I have been quite well.

(PAUSE)

BIKER/RACHEL
But I killed your "George".

Angela is stunned.

ANGELA
How did you know George ?

BIKER/RACHEL
He found me.

There is silence.

ANGELA
Are you going to kill me ?

BIKER/RACHEL
No.

BIKER
(NARRATE)
I had to do some explaning to Rachel.And I stayed there for a long time...


Was listening to some songs (Les Beatles) and I came up with this write-up. Just want to dedicate it to my oldest arch-rival, VHS. This is very much her style and influenzed by her "football and goalie" story which she put up in the "Blossoms" magazine.

Tired of blogging non-stop

I will see you all after a week.

I think the future is 3D Desktop

I had a look at the snapshots of the Windows Vista Desktop Environment called "Aero".Aero is a 3D desktop environment with transparent rendering.I also had a look at Sun's "Project Looking glass".

The question which is currently hitting me, is , can a 3D desktop Environment be a hit.

For me, the answer is a resounding YES.

This can be explained by a very simple analogy. Although the 2-D DOS (like Dave, Prince of Persia) games have their own fan-following for their simplicity, they were gradually replaced by the 3-D games.

Wolf-3d was one of the first 3-D games with a lot of demand for "graphics card" and memory during those days. But it changed the course of gamer programming, gaming engine, and 3D software started to demand hardware changes, which resulted in graphics card revolution of sorts.

A 3D desktop environment will be a delight to work on. I hope it will be affordable for companies and homes.So , your desktop will look like a bookshelf, with "books" and each window being a "book".

I found two desktop environments , through forwards, of Windows Aero Desktop Environment and the other one, being the Sun MicroSystems 3D environment. I personally liked the screenshots of the Sun Microsystems environment.

I dunno if the Linux KDE guys have taken such an initiative for rendering 3D environment on linux.

Windows Vista snapshot Couldnt find many snapshots of Aero, though

The unbelievable software and snapshots of Project Looking Glass!

Have a look at the movie clip also!

V for Vendetta

MS Radio Access Capabilities sucked my blood for one week and after a frustrating struggle , I discover the nasty bug and emerge victorious

Not mine.....But it has come out well

EXT. ROAD - NIGHT

Divya and Rajani (two pretty women in late twenties) keep walking briskly. They look kinda scared, as they walk really quickly.

DIVYA
Is he still following us ?

Rajani quickly turns back to see to hear quick footsteps.

RAJANI
Yes. he is following us.

DIVYA
Our luck is really rotten. The apartment is atleast 15 minutes and there is no bloody soul on this road.

RAJANI
We can find someone near the Whiskey bar. Will we face the guy and deal with him. We are two against one.

DIVYA
No. He was asking weird questions all the way during our journey in the train.

RAJANI
Did you look at his eyes. They looked really creepy and like blackholes.

DIVYA
Oh gud lord! Help us.

RAJANI
Now shut up and keep walking fast.

DIVYA
Actually when he was talking to me , he kept spraying spit everywhere and it was flowing his cheeks. That really freaked me out.

RAJANI
Now shut up and dont scare the hell out of me....

DIVYA
Gimme your mobile. I will call Ajit.

Rajani opens her handbag. No mobile! Divya looks at the bag in dismay.

DIVYA
Madam....You continue to be forgetful all your life. I am going to change my roommate NEXT MONTH.

RAJANI
Shut up. I might have forgotten my mobile a couple of times. You just need a small reason to explode against me.

DIVYA
Look, if we keep quarelling like bitches, the fool will catch up with us.

As they continue to walk, they see the lights of the bar.

DIVYA
Thank gawd!! The bar is still open. We may find some kinda help there.

A BLACK SANTRO is parked in front of the bar.

RAJANI
Hey! Thats your friend Sujith's car. Right ?

DIVYA reads out the registration number aloud.

DIVYA
M1064 - Thats him.

RAJANI
That guy...You had once considered going out with him right ?

DIVYA
Yes. He'd been rather persistent and I'd been put off....But he still had a bit of a crush on me and he mails once awhile and goes totally senti. I feel confident he would help.

RAJANI
Great! Some help for us.

DIVYA
I am gonna act like a damsel in distress and probably have to tolerate frequent phonecalls for a month or two. Thats okay.

EXT. BAR - NIGHT

Sujith (late twenties) is totally drunk with two of his pals as he heads for his car.

SUJITH
Bye guys! May the force be with you.

RAJANI and DIVYA stand near his car. Sujith is surprised. Suddenly the slur escapes him and he is fully alert.

SUJITH
Divya ? What are you doing here ?

DIVYA
Sujith, How are you ? Can you do me a favour. There's somebody tailing me. Can you sort him out?

SUJITH
Where is he ? What does he look like ?

Suddenly a big shriek is heard. A real howl like a werewolf.The footsteps sound hard and frequent.

DIVYA
Thats him. He has been following us throughout.

SUJITH
We will try.

DIVYA
Thanks a lot. Sujith, our place is just a few roads away from here. We have had a real nasty time. We will catchya later. Bye and thanks.

SUJITH
Bye.

SUJITH gears himself up and talks to his pals as Divya and Rajani almost start running.

As Divya tries to cross the next road, she is hit by a car.

BLACK OUT.

We FADE IN :

to a

INT. HOSPITAL DAY.

The nurse sits besides the bed as Divya opens her eyes.

DIVYA
What happened?

NURSE
You're very lucky. You've got a few broken ribs and a bit of concussion but other than that you're alright.

DIVYA
Where is Rajani ? And what happened to Sujith ? What happened to the man who was following us ?

NURSE
Rajani is in the police station. It seems an attack took place outside a whiskey bar on the same evening as your accident. A group of drunken men set upon a passer-by who had a weak heart. During the onslaught the man with the weak heart died. The man who is dead had your friend's mobile phone.

DIVYA becomes unconscious again.

A post on a rainy saturday

From yesterday I have started attending a "training". Rather I should call it a course.
It is good and I discovered the following yesterday :-

a) Student life is the golden life in one's phase of life.

b) The instructor being a PhD , asserted my judgements of a guy who does a PhD. Dedicated, passionate abt learning being the pluses and maverick , absent minded and recluse being the minuses.

c) I simply agree to disagree on his views (A typical PhD's thoughts abt life and society). I had judged most PhDs are very un-conventional.

d) I was trying to get the pronunciation of his surname. The strlen() of his surname was 20 letters and ended with a -kar.

I discovered the following today

a) I was wrong abt generalising abt PhDs and infact he is a very pleasant man with a good sense of humor and he actually tries to mingle with us .And he was a hit with us today after he started talking tech. Yesterday was an introduction class and he talked abt life etc.

b)Student life is a golden phase but it is really very difficult to sit for classes on saturdays.

The tech part :-

It was absolute delight to start talking abt Computer Architecture and Organization. I remembered the good old days of Hamacher. Accumulator. AB, CD, HL registers of the 8085 micrprocessor. Instruction Pipelines and Program Counters. The CARRY , OVERFLOW flags. 2s complement of a number. IEEE Floating point specifications. The Control Unit of the microprocessor, The bus diagram of 8085 and processor clock and instruction cyles, the Memory Mapped IO Concept. The Instruction Decoder and the factors which affect the word size of a computer.

It was a trip down the memory lane back to the 5th and 6th semsters.

I dont know if anyone remembers, there was a sorting algorithm which was a O(N) algorithm for Parallel Processors. The data had to be arranged in a snake-like format and the time was O(N).

Read this to know reasons to switchoff your system. I am convinced that I have to.. and I will do so as soon as I am done with my assignment..ummm..on second thoughts..after I am done with my assignment and downloading a paper that I have to read..and..

Are you an expert with google ?

Nice puzzle.

Guys try this out !

Wonderful home-made video

Bangalore guys, we gotta try something like this and upload it on Youtube ...Anyone interested ?

Diary of a heroic woman

Reader discretion appliable
From an email fwd

This is a copy of the diary written by lady on a cruise ship.
A real heroic woman!!!!!!

Dear Diary,

MONDAY AFTERNOON:
What a wonderful cruise this is going to be. I felt singularly honored today as the Captain asked me to dine at his table tonight.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON:
I spent the entire afternoon on the bridge with the Captain. He explained everything he was doing and told me there are 1262 passengers on board and he is responsible for everyone's comfort, safety and having a good time. He is so charming and invited me to dine at his table, again, tonight.

WEDNESDAY EVENING:
The Captain saw me at the pool this afternoon and invited me, this time, to have dinner in his cabin. The Captain's cabin is very cozy and the dinner was served with the best wines. He made several glorious amorous proposals to me but I stood very firm on my moral convictions.

THURSDAY EVENING:
Tonight the Captain threatened to sink the ship, if I did not give in to his erotic proposals.

FRIDAY MORNING:
I saved 1,262 lives, last night......TWICE

Onam celebrations at office

Flower circle at office 

Every year, the Mallus at office(even when I was in Infy) celebrate Onam by decorating this flower circle and wearing white sarees and dhotis....Ofcourse the canteen wallahs prepare some special boiled rice and kheer.....We had that yesterday and it was good.Does Karnakata have a traditional festival (like Onam?)....

Yes we do have Rajyotsava, but the point is i suspect every state in India will have an equivalent of Rajyotsava.


Rajyotsava is a not a festival.It is a state holiday and thats it.And for the moment, we wont wear traditional dresses and prepare sweets at home .We just call the orchestras and exclusively sing songs in Kannada.Maybe we should plan something like that
