The heart feels heavy
The tears refuse to be shed !
Dear team members
Why did you do that !
Didn’t I share with you
Every petty info I get !
You had a discussion y’day
But no one mentioned that !
Had always been with you
Whene’er you stayed back !
Being frank and honest
Do you know what’s that !
Lumps form in throat
And eyes become wet !
No, I shall not cry
You don’t deserve that !

Yeh John Galt Kaun Hai?
Prompted by one of Interrobang’s comments in a post of mine, I picked up Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand . I was reading it over the weekend. Though it was the second time I was reading it, I was able to enjoy it more now. But there was a difference during this second time reading. I was able to associate faces for the characters which I did not do last time. I was so affected by this attempt to associate faces to the character that I started browsing for images by characters names.
Hangover existed this morning too. While I was on my way to work this morning, I was thinking if I were to make a bollywood movie based on the novel, how the casting would be ! These are my choices…was not able to complete the list..will keep updating as I think of them!

- John Galt - Hrithik Roshan
- Francisco D’Anconia - Vivek Oberoi
- Dagny Taggart - Thought about this for quite a while and decided on Priyanka Chopra
- Ragnar Dannesjköld - This was the most surprising bit of my instinct - I dont understand
why I cant take Jimmy Shergill off my mind when I think about this character - Hank Rearden - KK Menon
- Hugh Akston - Amitabh Bacchan
- Dr. Robert Stadler - Anupam Kher
- Lillian Rearden - Mallika Sherawat / Asin
- James Taggart - I would like to cast Boman Irani but I am a bit apprehensive if he will look too old for the part….so in other words, I am not very sure about this one !
- Other Characters - Not yet decided. Suggestions are welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, the tag line would be “Abey Saale, kisko maloom yeh John Galt kaun hai re? ” ;-)
PS: I am no expert in Hindi. Excuse any errors in the tag line and appreciate the effort :-)Friday, June 20, 2008
Brand Ambassadors - Who need 'em?
There was an article in TOI recently producing the list of brand ambassadors , the brands they endorse and the duration of time their advertisements is aired in television. And as ever, I was left wondering - Whats all this fuss with celebrities endorsing brands !
As a customer myself, I have never been tempted to buy a product because a XYZ endorses it. I introspected so much considering all possible situations and all possible brand ambassadors but I could not believe I would buy a product just because of the ambassador. Definitely, I will notice the brand, but till date, was never convinced to buy one without considering other factors that influence my decision.
Stepping out of comfy zone of my own world, when I considered other target customers, esp from rural and small town regions, I believe thats the market who would get majorly influenced by the choice of brand ambassadors.
On the other hand, as an urban customer myself, I find my attention completely turned off whenever I see an Amitabh or SRK’s ad on TV that I dont even notice the brand ! Dhoni is quickly making into that list
On a lighter note, the following persons will have all my attention if they happen to be on TV
- Lalu Prasad Yadav (TV loves him)
- Mumble from HAPPY FEET fame or Sid the Sloth from ICE AGE. In short, any of those adorable animated characters
- Late Richard P Feynman (A physicist I adore a lot) Ian Wright (Favourite traveller from Discovery Channel)
- Lance Klusener (After all, who can stay away when one’s first ever crush appears to be on TV )
Can any one out there who has penchant for marketing strategies throw light on the necessity of spending so much on brand ambassador and what kinda ROI has been typically associated with this strategy ?

Common Cold - Nothing innocuous about it!
Its been nearly four hours since the work day has started and the only sound bytes from the team has been a well-orchestrated symphony of coughs and sneezes, with ‘yours truly’ being an active participant !
Common cold - dont let the seemingly harmless term fool you. After a memorable weekend, as though to aggravate the monday blues that had already creeped in by the evening, it all started with a hardly-audible dry cough and lo, behold ! A matter of few hours, the entire larynx region is under attack and the voice box has been taken hostage ! And the morning left me wondering if I will be deemed a bio-terrorist at the work place . But I wasn’t the sole bio-terrorist at the work place
Even during this miserable time, I found a reason to smile ! I remembered a poem about Common Cold (and titled the same) by Ogden Nash that I had read long time back and took solace in the fact, along with other bodily juices, the creative juice also oozed for some one during this wretched state ! ;-)
Go hang yourself, you old M.D,!
You shall not sneer at me.
Pick up your hat and stethoscope,
Go wash your mouth with laundry soap;
I contemplate a joy exquisite
In not paying you for your visit.
I did not call you to be told
My malady is a common cold.
Give ear, you scientific fossil!
Here is the genuine Cold Colossal;
The Cold of which researchers dream,
The Perfect Cold, the Cold Supreme.
This honored system humbly holds
The Super-cold to end all colds;
The Cold Crusading for Democracy;
The Führer of the Streptococcracy.
Bacilli swarm within my portals
Such as were ne'er conceived by mortals,
But bred by scientists wise and hoary
In some Olympic laboratory;
Bacteria as large as mice,
With feet of fire and heads of ice
Who never interrupt for slumber
Their stamping elephantine rumba.
A common cold, gadzooks, forsooth!
Ah, yes. And Lincoln was jostled by Booth;
Don Juan was a budding gallant,
And Shakespeare's plays show signs of talent;
The Arctic winter is fairly coolish,
And your diagnosis is fairly foolish.
Oh what a derision history holds
For the man who belittled the Cold of Colds!
-- Ogden Nash

By pounding brow and swollen lip;
By fever's hot and scaly grip;

By racking snuffle, snort, and sniff;
By handkerchief after handkerchief;
This cold you wave away as naught
Is the damnedest cold man ever caught!

But those are the words I spoke....
Day 1
Scene : A tea-break. Two persons discussing about another person
Characters: Me , Person A (Soon to -be-accused in the post)
Me : Cannot believe I survived thru his rambling!
Person A : (smiles)
(I am wondering if Person A understands what I am talking about)
Me : His reasoning was so ridiculous that I begin to suspect if his IQ is in the range of 10 - 20
Person A : (still giving that stupid smile)
Me : The next time I see him , I guess I will be forced to say “Please grow up and then report to work”. Lets get back to work
Person A : (dutifully follows)
Day 2
Scene : Tea-break again
Characters: Me, Person A & Person B. Person B was not present for the meeting that was discussed the previous day.
Person B : Hey, how was the meeting yesterday ?
Me : Dont worry. You did not miss anything. The same old rigmarole
Person A : We managed to survive his rambling.
(I show some surprise Person A has managed to express some opinion. But I was going to get a shock soon)
Person A : His reasoning was so ridiculous that I begin to suspect if his IQ is in the range of 10 - 20
(I am beginning to gape at Person A.Hey, I felt that way yesterday)
Person A : The next time I see him , I guess I will be forced to say “Please grow up and then report to work”.
Me : (thinking to myself) Hey those were my words..how can you steal them
(I was so enraged I could not stand the company)
Me : Lets get back to work.
Of late, I find myself in the same situation lot often. I do not where to report this opinion-theft. I know these happen everywhere but using the same words too……
The situation seems even more grave when you consider the fact that characters mentioned (other than myself) are the persons I have to spend my entire work day with :-((
Any advice on handling the situation ???

Home Sapiens : The over-hyped lot !
This morning, I saw a thought provoking scene. On the way to work, on the Neeladri route that the morning shuttles take these days, there was a toddler, probably around 2 years old, outside the thatched hut that I presume to be his home. What caught my attention was this dog that was beside the kid. The dog was sitting majestically on all its fours and the kid was sitting next to it with the complete awareness that he owns the dog and it will not hurt him. The pride of ownership and the authority was so evident in the way the kid was behaving in the dog’s presence and the dog did not seem to resist the idea.
This triggered a chain of thoughts in my mind , in correlation to certain idealogies that I hold with regards to human beings.
Primarily, all of us are hunters. However efficient the mask can be, deep down, all of us are on prowl - just that prey is different for each of us.
The mask, that was referred to in the previous point, has been effectively and meticulously laid thru agents like religion, the idea of civilization etc.
However hard I try, I cannot shake off this feeling that all human beings are nothing but glorified ANIMALS or a PEST that grows on its benefactor. I cannot stand the sense of importance we have attached to ourselves as a species. One cannot deny that we seem to be intellectually superior, but hello, do we ever know what is happening on a micro-level. For all we know, a cockroach dwelling in the crevices in your wall, can probably see thru the crystalline structure of the material that the wall is made up of , without a microscope. After all, it sees things differently than we do.So it knows when a crack is going to develop enough to cause a collapse and so it moves out then.
Given my way, I would like to rip the mask and lay bare the fact that we are hunters and a damn good one at it. I wish we, as a species, acknowledge it and act natural !

When space and time made no sense !!
Pleasant breeze,
Moonlit night,
Mirthful laughs
But where was I ?
Vapours clouded my eyes;
Silent din was all I heard;
My voice slurred
And I melted away !
A night lost
sans senses !
Words spoken,
I remember none !
I know not what of
All those silent thoughts
Locked away for eons -
Had they found a voice?
Confronting eyes of dears
The next morning !
I understood not - was it
Sympathy or scorn !
Wish that twilight never passed;
The temptation not yielded to ;
Would have been no regret nor the missing evening
Nor the sleepless nights for days after !

Where is my home??
Silence is not allowedNor my voice!
I cannot cry
And cannot laugh either!
Being true to myself
Does it matter to anyone?
I do not understand
Is this ignorance or pretence?
Carnations everywhere
To hide their empty life!
Six blind men preaching
Elephants can fly!
Privacy and independence
The forbidden words !
In a woman's life
They have no place!
No right to question
No right to reason!
Old enough to bear children but
Never old enough to take decision!
This is my life
Damn with these fetters!
Oh invisible pink unicorn,
Take me to my home

If Only !!
Doused in red
Was the whole world !
But I felt so colorless
Because
You were not there !
You were not there
To be my valentine !
Hearts flying everywhere
Carrying the loving messages !
But none for me
Because
I was not there !
I was not there
In your thoughts !
You are just there
Before me !
But why do I feel
There are seven seas
Between us !
I look at you
But you look through me !
Its just one life I have
Dont take it from me !
You kill me
With such mighty silence
On your lips but your eyes
When locked with mine
Makes the moment
So divine!
My heart and eyes
Constantly at tiff !
Cant stop thinking about you !
Cant keep looking at you!
How eager I am
For those moments of
My silent thoughts
About you !
Broken by your mesmerizing voice
Only to realize
I have a choice -
You or my solitude !
I choose my solitude
Over you
I dread so much
We will end up as
such good pals!
My love locked away for ever!
Years from noww
When my hair turns grey
And I feel bad
I want you
Next to me !
With such shocking white locks of hair
Solace for me !
This life of mine
Is not to be taken by you !
But to be
Shared with you!
Was the whole world !
But I felt so colorless
Because
You were not there !
You were not there
To be my valentine !
Hearts flying everywhere
Carrying the loving messages !
But none for me
Because
I was not there !
I was not there
In your thoughts !
You are just there

From cell to chip!!!!!!!!
The earth smells wet!
Dew glistens on the violets!
Mirth of innocence
The infant been blessed with!!!
I smell the earth!
I see the glistening dew!
Oh the sweetest kid,I sense
The mirth in you!
Alas
My heart refuses to enjoy
My fingers refuse to cease
The incessant playing on the keys!
Instruction galore, passed between
The man and the machine!
The Beauty of Life, I lost
I still seek in vain!
Just a shattered mind!
Just another blind heart!
Between the machine and me,
I think I've lost!!!!!!!!!!!
Dew glistens on the violets!
Mirth of innocence
The infant been blessed with!!!
I smell the earth!
I see the glistening dew!
Oh the sweetest kid,I sense
The mirth in you!
Alas
My heart refuses to enjoy
My fingers refuse to cease
The incessant playing on the keys!

The man and the machine!
The Beauty of Life, I lost
I still seek in vain!
Just a shattered mind!
Just another blind heart!
Between the machine and me,
I think I've lost!!!!!!!!!!!

Clueless!!!!
Everyday,I walk past youMy eyes pretend not to see you
My head turns away!
You may wonder why
And I would lie
Brush you aside with a nay!
When I speak to you
I look into your eyes
To leave you clueless
of all the love
In me for you!
I hide behind the mask
That has stood thru time
My heart bleeds,though
Lacerated with the love
Unspoken,yet!
Another day shall dawn
I will bid adieu to another dusk
I will walk past you, I know
I would still turn away!

what else to say----My musings perhaps!!!!!!!
The last time this particular webpage was opened by me, I guess it was Sep 6th,2005. Has been a while. Life has changed. I have moved on. Made new friends and have forgotten them by now as well...am sure am out of their minds as well ...I believe in "out of sight ...out of mind".....looks like they do as well ;-)...oh yeah..forgot to mention...the background in which all these are happening is the Wipro EC (for the fortunate mortals not in bangalore....EC =Electronic City) campus....my happening place of last 4months..to b precise...from Sep 19th..the day I joined Wipro.
well..am so tempted to furnish all the trivial details...but they have a better place to be immortalised and they have already been - my mind! Have some great memories - Thx to my cousins & Abhi, Sanind and Hims!!
The training ( am a proud mainframer now :-P ) was one smooth song...now into the project and doing damn good there as well...well, a lesson learnt...beware of the compliments from ur PM---itz just a harbinger of more work!!!!!!!!!
the reason i opened this page after a long time was because of certain musings of mine I saw in my notepad--the one used during the trng and I just wanted to convert thm 2 electronic form so that I can keep chuckling whne'er I read thm......They seem to b the conclusive evidence of the fact......I am capable of creating my own world and living in it :-P!!!!!!!
Beware of insanity in the text to follow :P
I hear them speak
The same words as mine
But a meaning in them
I cease to find!!
Am lost
Knowing not what I seek
Oh my feet,
Take me yonder
To the land of unexplored virginity!!!!!
Thou shant fear
My thoughts shall guide you!
Just keep walking
With a steady pace
Bliss shall we find
When we are out of this maze!!!!!
*************************************************************************************
Thou shall suffer
for
all the love inside you!!!
*************************************************************************************
How can s'one be a
Friend and the foe
At the same time?
My silence is!!!!!
*************************************************************************************
A thousand meanings
you revealed!!
When you smiled!!!
*************************************************************************************
I am tired !
My soul pleads to leave
Please reveal-
Are you my mirage
or my oasis!!!
************************************************************************************
Guess this is craziest of thm all---am still wondering why the hell I wrote it :-P
If I could
I would!
Even if you wouldnt
I would!
But if shouldn't
I wont!!!!!

Visitors from the netherworld !
He says,
The moon has become bad
He wonders,
The indigo sky looks so sad
Is it mourning the company
of the night, he asks
"Visitors from the netherworld"
At the thought, he stops
He shudders
to see his shadow
he dreads
what if it swallows
He doesnt know
Whether he is alone
And he doesnt want
to know if it isnt so!
Not just his reflection
His mirror seems to show
There is no doubt there is
Another pallid translucent show
A thousand secrets
The wind screams
It is a nightmare
Not his sweet dream!
A safest place
he simply cant find
After all, they are
The demons of his mind!
Specially dedicated to a certain love fish I know :-)

World - A Kaleidoscope?!
On a day in my own worldMy own world of infinitesimal space
Space barely enough to bear one
Just one and thats me
Me and my thoughts alone
Alone...So Alone......
The state of bliss didnt last
The last thing I wanted was
Was my soul to start amusing
Amusing at the world it lived in
In the real world - A world crowded
Crowded ... So crowded.....
My soul was chuckling
Chuckling..teasing..knowing
Knowing me so well, it couldnt
Couldnt stop me from my
My wish- A wish insignificant
Insignificant....So insignificant
My heart wishes so hard
Hard it tries to understand all
All on the face of this world
A world of so many colors
Colors some vibrant and some dull
Some dull ...so dull
My soul wants to know
Know if my heart intends to
To capture the hues of the world
The world's colors on a canvas
A canvas so long and so broad
Broad....so broad
My heart says wish it could do
To replicate the scenes of the woods,
Brown woods...Azure seas..white pearls
Pearls some big some small so different
Different shades of the blue sky
The sky..the vast sky
However hard my heart tries
To understand the colors of
People-man,woman and child
It could never fathom and fails
Fails to see their colors changing
Changing...all the time
With obvious calmness in the smile
Smile of an omniscient soul
My soul asked just one question
One question to which I wish
I knew the answer to---
My color...What is my color?

Are u my love?
I dreamt the other day
Of a face I have never seen !
Moments with that stranger
The most surreal scene!
Never had sensed anything
so foggy yet so real !
The need in your eyes
A touch so dear !
The words you spoke
why couldnt I hear?
The warm breath of yours
Will I feel for ever?
The culprit of my eyes opened
And the vapour of my dream freed!
Hoping I shall be forgiven
By the strange face I have never seen!

Third rock from the Sun !
Planet Earth --- The third rock from the Sun ! This planet has never ceased 2 fascinate me not because I'm here---because I cant b anywhere else ! After all I'm a carbon based organism tat can survive only in an Oxygen atmosphere :-(............
Space travel...was....is and will be an obsesssion with me thro my life...I think....Right..from the day i knew there are 9 planets revolving aroud our Sun...I've always wondered y cant one find another Sun / Earth among the billions trillions God knows how many stars....naturally...ETz shud exist but I dont believe in one thing....its not necessary that they may be technologically advanced as we are ( but most of the hollywood movies presume so...Mebee ppl always like 2 visualize thm facing tragedies...in movies atleast...the tragedies are overcome....inreal? )
hv been reading Foundation series of Asimov.....somehow the technology...though it is Asimov's creativity tat deserves credits.....yeah...the technology..technologies described seem quite feasible.....cant say much abt the hyper spatial travel though..but gravitic planes....nuclear power based products......they are quite possible......
i was totally wowed by the concept of psychohistory....brilliantly based on Kinetic theory of gases...am wondering,....if any of the mathematicians are indeed doing some kinda work on it?
mapping the whole galaxy --- tat wud b one hell of a job!
Another brilliant concept----- Using religion as a binding factor! religion is another thing i'm obsessed with! rather...the origin of religions..i shud say! in this days of such a low religious tolerance..i shud make myself clear! in fact...i think this shud hv been a borrowed concept from our world itself....wasnt Christianity chosen as a common religion to unite the thn defragmented Europe? If i see in tat light....does EU formation reflect the strategy adopted by Hober Mallow ( one of the mayors of terminus / Foundation )
Was reading this article in THE HINDU...an interview with the man I admire the most ---APJ Abdul Kalam....the timing cudnt b anymore perfect...already my mind was lighted with the fire of science fiction...but the interview...made me 2 start believin' tat the time would surely come whn wat we read as fiction is no longer so! Anyways...his ideas of having indigenous hyper planes and Earth - Moon- Mars---interplanetary association are brilliant!
I am a strong believer in the fact tat the human mind is the best treasure---A treasure whose value hasnt been realised completely yet! I believe tat any man has the potential to achieve anything he / she wants!
Well............all I want is-----------this fantasy of mine ...this obsession...this dream of "humanity across galaxy" to come true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in the wilderness of a paradise named "Pilani" !
"Vetti" sem...the response one gets for a thesis sem..the final leg of a beautiful journey from being an annoying teenager to a confident adult.....'n a successful one too......well...3 jobs ....as far as I am concerned..certainly makes me a succesful one ;-).....
This sem is turning out to be the sem of my dreams. No need to feel guilty about getting up late. "Late" ...(my wingies are screaming)...is an understatement...The wing is getting used to wishing me "morning" at 2 pm...I'm also thinking of signing out from mess..Is there a way I can sign out only for breakfast 'n lunch? If s'body knows..Plz be merciful 'n lemme know....
Well...I am beginning to think I'm helpless..incorrigible..incapable of self control..BTW..there are words like"resolutions" 'n "promises"..right?The reason behind me gettin' hopeless abt me is tht I had drafted the above highlighted passage a jolly good month ago 'n i could never bring my ---- to complete it!
'n 2 damn myself..i've been creating blog/journal spaces wherever i can lay my hands on..Should I say "mouse" on ;-)..msn spaces..h2g2 site..blah this blah tht...well..seems like i've formulated the new uncertainty principle for bloggin' --applicable only 2 myself-- "If u hv a blogspace, U cannot find a blog in it"....
Its 7.51 am 'n i hvn't slept a wink thro the night....Mr & Mrs Iyer to my company for the first part of night..then r very ol' F.R.I.E.N.D.S to accompany thro the rest of the night!
Its gettin' fuckin' irritatin' 2 work with the rest of the team 4 I4RI coz of my weird sleepin' habits....am losin' tht human touch in myself....well..once in a while..hv yearned for a human face 2..coz it would hv been quite a while since I had seen one!
High time i take control of my life..or Am i fine with this way...................................................

What is Tsunami?
Inspite of all the technological advances humans can boast,mankind is still at the mercy of Nature.This was proved and the world tasted the consequences of Nature's fury this sunday.
What is a "Tsunami"? in Japanese "Tsunami" means "Large sea waves".Tsunamis are huge tidal waves tht can sometime rise as high as 10m...Pacific region is not a stranger to tsunamis....But south asia was certainly an absolute stranger to this phenemenon caused by seismic activity under water bodies...to chk out wht causes a tsunami..click on the following
Tsunamis de-mystified!
There is news abt the change of India's coastline as well..
Tsunamis change the coastline

The Black Sunday
Truly, this Sunday was the darkest in many a ones lives in South Asia. The seemingly calm ocean waters can unleash such a havoc..this is something i had not given thought abt in my 21 yrs of earthly life..The trips to beach hv always left pleasant memories..till this sunday...The sandy shores on which I had trodden a coupla days before no longer exists to bear testimonial to my great times there....The kids who used 2 wave a big Hi hv been swallowed, leaving a void in their loved ones life....Wailings of mothers,wives 'n sisters wring the fibres of my heart 'n corpses..God wht a sight tht was.....Families hv perished with nobody to identify the bodies 'n survivors are lacking the reason to live any longer...Even in these tragic circumstances..there are few ignoble souls who actually break into the locked houses 'n loot the remaining stuff...I shouldn't even b calling them souls coz any human with a soul within him wouldn't dare to dream about such an action...
I feel grateful tht I am of some help to these victims of the nature's fury and I hope these ppl find a purpose for living soon.
Thanks to all the corporates and generous beings for their generosity!
