Okk...hmmm...

we came across this girl at a restaurant in Chiang Mai. she was serving food there and she seems to be fine and cool.but i think her co workers were trying to pull her leg or something. I'm sure they gave her the t-shirt man...can you read it...?
i'm sorry but ..that's just hilarious!

Tia and Mia

I gave them those names then, cause their names were long and twisted. It was like learning the whole language ' thai'. So i kept it simple...they were very peaceful and very funny.
Tia and Mia...

What are you doing?

This kid was sitting around and playing with his cat ok...and i thought i can be friendly and take some pics...man, that kid has some childhood problems i believe.
He gave me a look like 'why are you taking my pic, you damn tourists, do i look like a freak show to you'...
i sensed that out, took a shot and gave him 20 bath. he took it and continued with his stare and i moved off to keep a safe distance.

Bring It On !

We kicked ass in Kargil… and now they want to get a dosy dose again ?! alright its christmas, season to give and lets give it to them.

And now I don’t understand why our PM acts like a little girl in a big boy pants…’we don’t want war’... this isn't war man …this is justice , this is judgment and we will sort out the good and evil.

And if any commie from the east tries to support our enemies…man…it would be personal.

I would purchase a Barret M107 .50 caliber and place myself in the border and gun down every single mf before he takes his position or a shot. Yea…bring it on you SOBs !

My dream home

That's my dream home man , what a design and master piece architecture ...this castle is located on one of the islands near Phuket ...i can settle down there for the rest of my life...all i need is a record player and tons of led zeppelin tracks and some apples... "drink all my wine, smoke all my stuff" and wait for "the spring time of my loving" ...i step out and it would be the sea...and i can enjoy both, the sun set and sun rise, that's better than watching tv man.
and by the end of my journey i shall smile and drift smoothly into the 'bright white light'...

Two colors only

I've been shooting pics with all colors and with flash and stuff... but i also love to take b/w photographs.Since i have a Nikon D40 i have to put it in P mode and play with lot of functions to take a decent b/w pic. I have trouble doing all that since i gotta learn to use the camera.
My inspiration is from Suchitra, she is my blog list , google her name or you can find her in flickr.
I love her work...some amazing b/w pics from Cairo...do check it out.
So now i have started to take few pics which i know is not so good but i'm working on it you know.
so if anybody has anything so say...write back an opinion.

I stopped baking myself

After 6years of smoking and several attempts to quit during that period, I finally managed to leave the habit behind and carry on as I was before …healthy…clean…strong.

I don’t feel serious withdrawal symptoms or disturbances of any kind.

I feel good.

One of the Indies, Anwin, quit smoking early this year and was very successful.true inspiration...

He read something and quit…I woke up one morning and quit…He mentioned it is a 80% mind and 20%body effect…that is true.

I have stronger mind and that helped me…

So friends, countrymen and fellow morons QUIT SMOKING !

Change Authority, Change Today !

Mission:Rebuild India

Started by one, followed by thousands and I'm one of the supporters.
Waiting for rest of the millions to join towards one goal- Rebuilding this nation, Rebuild India.

We know we were weak, weak in all terms for that matter. We were weak even to think logically that what will happen to this nation if a uneducated, zero experience on whatsoever and an anti social is chosen as a leader.What has become of today's India is a perfect example of choosing those white clothed scum bags as leaders. India is badly wounded because of them.
In a way we made the huge mistake.
We voted, we chose , we gave a chance and now we are the ones who are terribly and tragically affected.

Now, Raise up ! Stand up ! Question Authority for why you and I have to suffer for no fault of ours.

I have some questions and i NEED answers and hell yea i'll get them.

Join the Mission Rebuild India and get your questions answered.

Need a caption?

i took this pic. i don't know what i was thinking then but i do remember that i saw a empty bottle of JD before i shut myself down...
hmmm...ok... so the caption for this pic is 'responsibility' what else can you think of?

hey i think of an ol'd Rugby joke

Man: (standing naked in front of the mirror) ...just two inches more and i'll be the king...
Woman: hmp...two inches less and you will be the queen asshole...

hehehehe thats some good stuff man...those rugby jokes...

Was little paranoid man ! that's all

I don't know man...something got into me as you can see from my previous post.
'mind fucked' is the word man.

i watched some Eddie Murphy, Chris Tucker and Russell's stand ups to get over it ...but made it worse man...it wasn't funny any more.

i need a box of rockets, tie them around me and blast into the sky or something man...

this sucks man...anyways...

peace

War Within

Never had the feeling before, but was expected, and now it has got into the hearts and minds of the ones we are among, evolving within us in all disguises, uncertainty.
And damn, the mind is getting adapted to the uncertain end.

Feeling the one whom you know is not around anymore and you are to yourself questioning, whether to play with the devil and react as the same evil or stop, cease the moment and regain the pure selfness.

I'm responsible for this and so are you. If you think this is about terrorism , fuck that, we have seen a lot and we will see more.
It is about what we started very early, pursuing the things which are uncertain in all means.

The most feared virus is out there infecting every single mind existing. Leading everyone to fierce anger and hate.
We are in war, a war within ourselves.

I see friends fight, I see partners split, I feel hate among the loved, I feel the uncertain tomorrow is leading everyone to the broken bridge and I see most of us killing each other and pushing the one behind to take the fall first.

Sad truth, it is now beyond repair, and the Mighty is all tied and watching us end the game.

Mind-Numbing

Ok, I wasn't showing off my previous post. just that i dint have the time to do anything else (which includes blogging). ask me why?, ok you all know the scene, recession and crisis, crunches etc...
on the top of these things, work pressure (which i really don't have but lets just keep it that way)...then it was raining heavy and hmmmm...oh yea my friends were in and out of the city so i had to spend most of my time with them...and whatelse?

i have tons of photographs and write ups man...but i'm so damn lazy...oh yea, that is one of the reasons too...

chill...peace out...and keep blogging !

Hey btw...met Amir

Yea met with him in Mumbai.
I have seen few small time celebs throwing big time attitude and I dint get the feel from him though he is a big time celeb.
Amir is fine as an actor and as a person, he is like one of us (just that he is in bollywood and it is a crazy pl ).
I remember the way he answered questions that the media was shooting at him, few of them was totally irrelevant. It was at the launch of the tata sky + PVR launch where I heard one of the media guys asked him “I heard that your nephew said that his uncle has the best body ever in the movie ‘Gajini’”.
(What? Man its is a launch of an advanced version of the dth and you asking him some candy ass question)
So, he was cool and he simply asks the person to repeat the question, twice, then thrice… until the media person himself got embarrassed of his question.
After the event, i was with the team and met him in his room at the Hyatt and we had a small chat, I gave him my card and asked him to call me if he needed anything (hehehehe… yea right)

but this isn't over man...there is gonna be more post on the behavior of media at the event.Media Madness i say...!!!

Let’s call this ‘User Friendly Entertainment’! – DVR in DTH

It really doesn’t make sense for one to imagine or think of some technical enhancement that can make our television viewing much friendlier and highly flexible.

Back in the 70s, recording your favorite shows was just a part of the daily routine. Using a video recorder and some controls, this was made simple. That may have been the year of innovation of the video recorder.

Well those things reach this land very slow; however it was a good effort to include this feature to one of the DTH services available today.

Tata Sky has it now, I’m not sure when the dealers will get a hand on those new set up boxes…

So, gone are the days for one to hear this…..

‘Man, I got to go to work today and I am gonna miss today’s cricket finals and God knows when and which channel will they telecast the highlights’…..

That is so true. Or the Saas Bahu….ahh cripes. Sitcoms! … Who cares about the Saas and Bahus series man????? … Someone please tell me that people won’t use this trendy technology to record those kinds of crap of all shows….

So, do you think a 100+ GB of storage facility within the set up box will record the match for you? Hell yeah, may be the whole season. And sit back, lay back on the shack and relax watching those highlights.. (since you know the score already hee hee!!)

But I can see that there are some TV glued people who were buzzed about the whole thing that, Tata Sky was coming up with the DVR (digital video recorder) feature at the initial launch of the product, and they were disappointed. No more, as the DVR is on its way.

This could be the Tata sky 2.0 launch huh? Nice time to do this as there is a new competition has born. But the others don’t have the feature but has other features like… I don’t know what.

If Tata Sky can do this I bet someone is gonna come up with the same add on feature and add another kick in the ass feature like ’ buy the newly improved XXX DTH which comes with your own personal satellite revolving the orbit’.

Heh heh … well lets wait and watch!

Why am I talking about it, well I happened to be at the launch as one of my friend pulled me to see how a big brand do such launches.

So I’m gonna write about the whole event and my experiences, and I’m going trip ...u know i trip...

Satish has something to say about it http://studiosat.mypublicsquare.com/view/digital-video

Kolkata is Sweet indeed !

Kolkata Blogger meet was one of the best blogger meets ever, felt like home there.

Till morning I had no clue how it was going to be and by afternoon I was all upset looking at the venue and our place to stay. I was concerned about bloggers response to all of this.
But, later I would say the bloggers responses made me more at ease and was able to have full-on fun every minute!

We wanted to stay a day longer to be with some of the bloggers and check out Kolkata but we had our flights booked early next day.
The most colorful, cheerful and sweetest people I have ever met.

check out the review on our blog.

Kolkata Blogger meet

Without A Clue!

After the big season of ‘Band of Brothers’, was wondering if we had such heroes in our battalion. I’m sure we have. I believe those were the people who gave birth to thousands of patriotic Jawans for our country.

But suddenly my whole good views and respect for ‘rank’ and ‘medal of honor’ all came down like Jack who climbed the mountain.

Kapil Dev man?! I wouldn’t be surprised if I wake up one morning and Shahrukh Khan being given the position as the ‘President of India’.
Lt Colonel, that is the position that Lt Speirs from Easy Company was when he retired.
After the war in Germany, most men returned home and stayed for ever, but he was there till the end.
He continued his mission to the Pacific and won against the Japanese.
That man retired as Lt Colonel.

Now Kapil Dev, retired from Cricket and became the Lt .Colonel?!
I’m sorry I’m, not following say that again, but this time slap me twice and say that again,
Kapil Dev became the Who?!

What’s with these people man? Isn’t that the man who cried on national television?
I have no idea where this nation is leading to.
And honestly, we have people who had been in combat and may be took a bullet for his fellow men and Kapil, he would taken hardly a wicket for his men.

If he can prove to be in that position then he can or else it is a disgrace to the Rank of Lt. Colonel.

This is your Captain speaking

We were on our way to Delhi for the Delhi blogger meet.
We had to stop by Mumbai to pick some people and fill fuel and rest for sometime.chilling out...

Just then I thought lets take a look inside and maybe try to turn those little knobs in the cockpit.
Picked up a conversation with the hostess (was smooth baby yea! ) and stepped right into the captain’s room.
I looked down at the pilots and said’ ok boys we are taking over from now’ they smiled and one of them got off the seat and said ‘all yours’ ….
ALL RIGHT COOL!!!

So there I am , went like DeeDee from Dexter’s Lab
Oooooh what does this button doooo

Lt Colonel Speirs – the man had more minerals!!!

The most respected and feared officer of the Company.

The profiles I create in Medal of Honor (PS2) Airborne, Vanguard and Frontline is all Lt Speirs

His work is greatly remembered and he is a legend during the battles.
He was initially with the D company (Dog Company) as the platoon leader and assigned to Easy in Bastogne.

I get goosebumps when I see his dare devil action during battle in the TV series
‘Band of Brothers’.
My favorite is when he takes over the command from Norman Dike and lead the men to move forward.

The scenario was:
Winters became the CO for the battalion and his order was to stay in the line and give commands to the Lt Dike.
When Easy Company moved in, Dike lost his orientation and forgot to take necessary steps and orders his team to hold and fall back, while Dick Winters was ordering them to move forward.
First Srgt Lipton gave a temporary order to take cover till next orders.

CO Winters calls upon Lt Speirs to go in…

He follows the order and engage in combat. Check out the video, the section ‘At Foy’
He jumps through a bomb explosion clearing the smoke. Awesome!!!

But that is just the beginning of the day, now he does another dare devil stunt that even the Germans were zonked.

The actual plan was to attack the Germans by E company moves from the front, I company will move in from the rear of the small village and capture prisoners. But E has to tip I company in moving in.

Since the team was split during the battle and there was no way they can tip I company to move in, Speirs became the runner and crosses enemy lines and right in front of the Germans, at first they dint know what to do, later started shooting at him. He dodged all the bullets, jumped the wall, found I company, signaled them to move in and the best part is, he came back running and joined his men.

Rumor has it that Lt Speirs shot 20 POWs after offering them cigarettes. He shot his own man for finding him drunk during duty.

He was the only one from the company who stayed with the Division, and retired as Lt Colonel.

He died in the year 2007.

Check out the video…mind blowing.

Screaming Eagles

Particularly, I love to follow the events with respect to the Air Borne division.

Richard "Dick" Winters
The true leader of Easy

I remember from one of the conversations between one of the First Lt and CO Winters

Lt: “I believe the drop zone is too bloody and you will be surrounded by enemies”

CO Winter: “we are the airborne division; we are supposed to be surrounded”

CO Dick Winters was the first a paratrooper, then the platoon lead then became the First Srgt, and later First Lt and then became the CO of the entire battalion by the end of battle at Haguenau.

Winters joined the E Company (Easy Company) 101st Airborne, 506 PIR (parachute infantry regiment)

Soldiers,Sailors and Airmen....

Fire in the Hole!

It all began after the invasion of Poland by the Germans.

Interested in the Second World War History,started ever since I saw the movie The Guns of Navarone when I was in 4th grade/std.

I was so involved in learning about the second word war that sometime I think that I was there.
I have got to upload some pics, videos and news about second world war from now, and hope someone will find it interesting.

Too complex, but too simple!

A simple thing can dragged to the core of complexity is made and achieved by one element in this world, is unfortunately the human being. The points are clear, it is a straight line between A and B. Where A, is the time of birth and B the time of extinction. between these two points is we forcefully create c, d, e, f till z and then come to B. Between these two certainties A and B, we create the complex variables that simply drags the journey and time space that makes it more tougher to reach point B. But as when everyone who have reached point B will realize that all that took to reach here was simply not necessary at all. 

We have to understand a lot from the animals who are less intelligent, and we shouldn't be proud about our intelligence because we are the ones who made everything harder to exists. animals are intelligent in their own ways and they are perfectly blended to their world of necessities. They know that there isn't a true certain purpose and they never question or reason their existence. They very well understand life's certainties and abide by it simple law. exists, co exist, survive and perish. 

                       

Most may be resistant to this feeling and would reason, so what’s the point of all this? we just cannot simply live without a purpose and die. We are here to do something! well, that something what we do is the complexities that we create which turns back and hits us even harder and makes us suffer every day. The choice we took to do that 'something' took a very wrong turn. 

Maybe it wasn't the right idea that was shared, maybe the mind fail to understand the simplexes of life. 

Living is living, an there is no world to conquer or over power because you only been given a set time and anything that you do today will not be forever because you are not forever. 

If united we understand the reason of our existence and we lessen things gradually. we might feel great that what a place we lived what a life we were in, at point B

First indiblogger meet

This was the first time I thought I was doing something decent.  This was when i thought i was being constructive with a team of professionals like Renie Ravin. It was indeed a good thought of creating a platform for bloggers to network and engage real time.

After the platform indiblogger.in was made live, there were online registrations which was activated for using the platform  One of the bloggers who were in touch and was working with Microsoft as an intern, she connected and invited us to come of the to the Bangalore Head office and conduct a blogger meet supporting one of their newly developed product called Windows Live writer.

It was all new and this was the first meet so the preparation were pretty interesting. We had to keep the crowd engaged so we planned the program, agenda and schedule to a good extent.
We put up a post and invited all bloggers whoever were using the portal and the crowd turned out to be pretty good.

Good discussion, more technical and focused on the product. MS tried to get some mileage with this meet but it just couldn't because there were existing products that were more compatible and easier in application.
However the meet went well, it gave the team the confidence to conduct more meets and engage more blogger and create a stronger community.

Lets play cricket!

It was a Saturday morning and waking up is the most difficult part after a night out of shots blasting. I had to make it to this game cuz me and few other guys arranged for this. Had to book the place in advance, had to get everyone notified.

I was working at this web agency called BroadSpire, a place that made me understand my real capabilities  great team mates, grate superiors, very good management team over all.   

We were supposed to start by 6 am and to keep up our time, we started by 7 , cuz for a hours we were all walking over the pitch like zombies...

The most sleepy ones decided to be the umpire (referee) and the few others just wanted to sit and keep a track of overs and scores. basically slackers…

Most important and fun part is that my team won all the matches …yeah! We kicked some ass I say…

And yes that’s me facing the first strike. If u look close I’m not even looking at the ball, just closed my eyes and tried whacking it and i think i completely missed it!

So, that's how I play cricket. I don't play cricket, and i really don't like playing cricket.  i play football, volleyball and badminton. 
Its like after playing cricket, you don't feel that you played something, there is no sport it in. Well the other sports i play i can't keep up more than hour and a half, yes, volley ball i can keep playing but the rest is just that you need a lot of energy. 

Moreover cricket is too commercial now, it not a sport anymore, its like politics and Bollywood with too much of corruption and drama. 
I just love the company, enjoy time when spent with good people, so that's why i was there. 

(and that shot was straight for 4 runs… it was like playing the game after 10 years and I could manage to hit a 4 … was glorious! and I kinda felt like those dork at the moment)

The group of people you see are from my office. 

House of errors, proudly presents its first post!

tell me one thing that man has invented that is error free, something that is created to  absolute perfection? If you do have something to refer to, please send it to me for a review.

Finding something is different from inventing. Diamonds are mined and found and it is what it is. But, I am talking about man made things.

To the best of my ignorant knowledge, is that there is nothing that man had made which is so perfect, because, man is not perfect, so are his creations. That’s how it will be. His mind is not engineered to perfection, it that was left without completion. Its like it skipped a important process in evolution. That is why we are at state of things that has makes us gradually understand who we are today.
