The Speaking Coin

In spite of several whole-hearted attempts to go to sleep, I haven’t been too successful. So here I am after all those mundane daily working hours at office.Its been hectic at office and the spirits of people in the team have plummeted to crash down like the stocks on the fifth day, because of controversies with mails and misunderstandings.In this flood was my second mail to my second line manager this time, which got the guts off that guy for sure I guess !! He could not answer to most of my questions which proved there is quite a bit of wrong committed which requires apology.With all these thoughts, my 2 hour journey to office every day in those BMTC buses has become haven to lot of incidents, comedies, misfortunes etc. The "grow up stronger" song, I am listening to as I write this reminds me that I'm nowhere near almost famous yet.
Caring a damn to what ever they are busy with, I had this thought to play punter with my coin (Of course I am the only betting person against none !) I intend to run a small research survey among inhabitants of a Coin Land in order to ascertain their opinion on the recent developments in my world. This research is not likely to prove reliable to most of the world. That said, I don’t really care so I’m going to go ahead and toss up my coin for questions. I present my findings below for the benefit of those who have nothing better to do than to seek reason behind an insane man’s actions.I remember the logic and mental ability from my 7th standard where I matched Heads on the coin to true and the Tails to false to solve some questions, and may this is what is called effective reuse of the Code in this globalized software terminology where anything and everything which has some thing to do with usage of a little bit of brains is called hard work.I mean to remind you that I am a Software guy lolz !! :p

there we go, the Coin did speak, and I arrived at my office and the the girl had already smiled before I did.I am now with crossed fingers to decide on the probability of the success which the coin just said on my sojourn way, the Coins are as believable as anything else.

Happy Valentine's day

It is the most colorful and loveliest day for all those people waiting to express love and get a positive response from their beloved. So I was out with a perfectly planned and rehearsed sketch to impress my valentine. Woke up early, had put on a beautiful dress that depicts me as a person and also matches my mindset. Then I stepped out as my mobile rang my favorite Titanic song "every night in my dreams" and the number flashed was of "My love". We decided to meet at the perfect place for the day and so went to the Oswal green park which is very serene, that is just half way between our houses. I, with a bunch of fresh cut red roses in my right hand on half knees and she, standing in front of me, blushing as if she knew nothing that is going to happen, and her palm nicely held in my palm just about waiting for a kiss. We were both very avid as the moment I dreamt for all the while is actually about to happen. I knew she would accept my proposal to stride along me all my life and would agree to hold my hands till the very end. And as the moment unfurled, My mind went blank, what ever I thought of telling her to show up as a modern day romeio with all the qualities that she wanted in "her perfect man" were not anymore in my mind. All the words that I could utter were those three magical words, first I thought I was very naive to have proposed like that but then, I thought the actual content is delivered to her heart and was awaiting a reply from her like a batsman waiting for the ball never knowing if he would be bowled or would hit it for a sixer :p (I know I am very crappy here). Suddenly I felt this jolt at my back and I heard my roomies yelling it was 10 AM and I have to wake up to reach office on time :) I woke up knowing that I don't have anything better to do in Bangalore on this most romantic day of the year than to sit in front of the same system at my office and do all the routine project stuff and blog away the pain of not having something better to do than this. Should I call it the pain or illusion of pain ? well I am not sure anymore. Especially when I consider myself to be beyond these pity emotions :D. But now, more than ever, am really glad of the fact that I am a normal human, to whom the laws of nature apply in the same way :D and be a cool guy thinking of all those movie dialogs where the Hero says how happy he is being single and ready to mingle :) Any way, I wanted to say a very happy Valentines day to all the people in Love. Cheers and be happy guys!! for, you are being loved by someone not common.
