Weekend Updates

As we step into our 63^rd year of Independence, here is wishing everyone a Happy Independence Day. Let the true spirit of Independence prevail for years to come. Thanks to the swine flu scare that has engrossed Bangalore it has not been an independent weekend. I have been more than happy to confine myself to the comforts of my home.

After having worked at odds time of the day, day in and day out, every now and then 24 x 7 like any other techie, my computer, the only person who always obeyed my directives, gave up this Friday. It simply refused to boot. Convinced about my limited knowledge of computer hardware I tried my best to revive it. But all in vain. The poor thing has worked 8 x 7 on all weekdays and has worked 24 x 7 on all weekends and holiday for the last 6 years. I was having this uncanny thought whether this is a case of sibling rivalry? Did I start ignoring my system after I got myself a laptop??? From the time I have got my laptop I have been more hooked to my laptop as it keeps me mobile. Though my laptop is anytime far advanced in performance, for all my mundane work I guess I still prefer to fall back to my desktop as it is more rugged unlike my Vaio which is more a delicate darling.

For quite a long time now I have always loved women with nose piercing, and for some time now I have been really a great admirer of women with nose piercing. I remember even tweeting about it a few days back after I met this girl who had a nice little nose piercing. Yesterday I was watching this movie on TV and when I saw the pretty Trisha with a nose piercing; my feeling that women look much prettier with a nose piercing was reinforced. So I have made up my mind, if ever I get married or if ever someone does agree to risk her future in my hand, I ll try everything possible to talk into her the idea of getting her nose pierced. I have heard diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Don’t we get diamond studs for nose? I hope someone is reading.

Guess tweeter is spoiling me. You must have already seen the effect of tweeting on this blog. It’s all so random. On second thoughts life is all about randomness rite?

About love

What is the logical end for love? Or is there a something called end for love? Is love or can love ever be eternal?

"It's easy to fall in love. But then it’s not so easy to stay in love."

-fzl

Ask anyone who has been in love, and they ll tell you how exciting and how great a feeling it is to fall in love. The same person will also agree that it's very difficult to stay in love. Love is all about trust, emotions, tons of compromises, knowing each other's pulse, sacrifice. Love cannot exist between two people if either of the above said personas is not present.

To some, marriage is the logical conclusion for love. The moment they feel they ve got married to the one they love they feel their love has succeeded. To some, the moment their love gets married to some other person, they feel their love has failed.

I always admire people who honour their commitment in love and get married to the one. I have been lucky to have many such friends. And it's always a joy when you see them.

Last Week I met a friend of mine, who has been married for less than a year now. And yes, he is one of those fortunate guys to have married his lady love. And I have known his wife also equally well. She too happens to be a good friend of mine. While I was speaking to this guy, and a while into the conversation he spoke about how his married life has been in total peril and how the two were contemplating divorce.

I took me a while to digest all that what he was saying, as to me the word "divorce" up to that very moment only existed in a society that I was not a part off.

Do people fall in love, make vows to each other, let go their families and get married to the one they love only to finally part ways? If you have to part ways, why unite in something as solemn as marriage in the name of love?

It makes no sense to me, when two people who once could never imagine a life without each other get married and then one fine morning they only want to live a life without each other!!!

There are random thoughts in my mind..

But before I end this blog there is one thing that I would like to say....

You can get married to your love, and then if your marriage is not successful, then you ve failed in love. You might not be fortunate enough to have married the one in your life, but then that does not mean your love has failed.

Marriage or no marriage, as long as you care for that one person, your love has always succeeded...

In Search of You

It is believed that "For every person there are seven people in this world who are jus' the way you are and resemble you "

All these years and still I have not found an another "you", or at least find someone who is half as good as you....

An executive lunch

It was that time of the day again, when our stomach begins to grunt. And jus’ like an idle mind is devils workshop, an idle day is feast time for the tummy. Decided to go for a buffet lunch, at one of the very eminent restaurants in Koramanagala. And started off with lunch, after finishing the starters moved on to the main course and while I was relishing the dish, to my utter dismay I realized something. I had just stumbled upon a big secret. A secret, which would very soon reveal as to why the items tasted so mouth-watering. Yes, the secret ingredient was no longer a secret!!!!

When I did tell the restaurant manager about what I had just stumbled upon and threatened to expose it, he was literally on his feet. So much so that he offered me and my friend a free lunch. And we were given a VVIP treatment till the moment we stepped outta the restaurant.

I shall not make public the name of the restaurant here, for people who really wanna know, contact me. But I certainly would like to unveil the ingredient which these people use at will in almost all their delicacies. This is not my first experience; this is my 3rd experience at the same bloody damn place. Disgusting... I am made a vow never to enter the sickening restaurant again in my life.

And for people who are still curious, I was served Cockroaches in my lunch Buffett!!!!
