Broadcasting my thoughts
As the clock ticks away the final moments of 2007,
I raise a toast to all the great things that happened in this year to all of us…
to all the bad things that could have happened,but didnt…
and pray that the coming year brings joy and happiness in all that we do and dont…

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.
In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kanhave one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
op zis mad you smil !!!

The most hyped movie ever is I guess Om Shanti Om, a movie which has been loudly promoted thru newspaper columns & TV channels across the country & has been declared by everyone to be a good movie(3 stars) & a roaring hit.
The real winner ofcourse is the marketing of OSO which has crossed all limits & boundaries and had been able to create a hysterical opening for the movie, coupled with the meet mr.khan & making of OSO spread across a wide gamut of channels be it -entertainment-music-news-in stadia publicity in cricket. I salute the team who marketed OSO. Its a great success.
As to the movie itself, like most of the Hindi movies, if you watch it keeping your “mind” back at home, then Its a FUN-TASTIC effort. If you are a movie buff with sense of the mind & hence the story,its the last place to be. If you are like me who grew up watching the Hindi movies of 70s then, watch OSO to laugh at what we used to enjoy then! How times have changed, how we have changed.
SRK is good in the scenes where he plays the pompous himself! The movie has been scripted & edited in such a way that your brain hardly gets time to think. Its an effort for any filmmaker to make a such a movie without any story and still getaway with it.
Watch it all you marketing & sales guys…it gives a gyaan as to how to put an efffort into selling a dumb product!
And watch it if you just want to chill out on a sunday…plain laugh and forget movie…guarantee u not a single tear will come…its a tear-less movie.

Tatvamasi
Its that time of the year when people across all walks of life cshed their differences joined by the common goal of darshanam of Swami Ayyappa at Sabarimala. Vrischika masam is here and the 41-day Mandala Puja has begun.
I have been to the place only for 5 times and every time I come back , there is a pull to go back once more. One cant seem to have enough. For me it's the feeling that one gets when u climb the 18 holy steps that's the most priceless moment, much more than seeing the deity or doing abhishekam. There are two places which gives that feeling for me that is the other one is taking the dip in
All major religions have a fasting/vrutham period be it among Hindus , Christians or Muslims, and if I am not mistaken there is 41days in all of them, which goes on to show how similar we all are. Even if the actual numbers are different, the idea behind it is same- to sacrifice something that u like/love for a period, bringing amazing control & will power to the mind. I take the vrutham in whatever ways I can each year although I have not been able to visit Sabarimala every year. The body and mind feels cleansed at the end of it. There is a science in all what our religions asks us to do I guess. However science would be taken with pinch of salt, while spirituality is often taken to easily!.
I have embarked on the journey, I hope to climb the hills during December & I shall share with you the moments thereof.
Swamiye Sharanam

LL-you poked me into writing again.thanx.
Life has taken a sea change 4 me in the last two months.But for people who knows me closely,they wouldnt be surprised.
I am not a sucker for stability and comfort in life. I believe in moving on, creating a disturbance in life.
I feel bored to do the same thing again and again.I dint do well(born in’72,I averaged 72% ha ha ha) academically because of that ( would read once, but not again).
Still I cleared thru all stages in life till this day, entering into my 35th winter.
People around me crave for stability…I dont.
I crave for newer things in life.
After all you gotta do it all in this life.
Whatelse would you say for a guy who had a good job in Delhi,staying in one of the places in South Delhi who decided that enough was enough…
changing a job wasnt enough, the place also had to change…
I love to stretch myself whether taking on challenges at work…taking on targets…
or breaking them…its fun…
After having a wonderful network in Delhi, in an industry which is very much into networking…here I am building one in this Garden(of potholes n autos n IT guys) city…
The noise of the dogs having their conference in the wee hours of the morning…the rustle of the vehicles…the dust rising…the frequent haggling with the autowallahs…doing puja of my car(as it is more a show-piece)…all brings a smile to me…
Its all about feeling good…isnt it…LL?
