Artiste!

Well, its been a while and yeah the analysis and the research is still ongoing. Am learning a new technology currently and believe you me, it can get a bit daunting. Understanding the jargon first is an uphill task because all forums, documentations liberally use it everywhere. But not to worry, I have gotten the hang of it a bit :)
One of the additional things that I ended up doing was participating in an impromptu drawing competition conducted at my workplace. The topic was "Colors of Life"! heavy, no? Expecting tech workers to rack their brains and come up with such deep conceptualizations is kind of expecting a lot :-P.
But rack our brains all of us did and gingerly used the pencils, crayons and sketch pens provided to us for the same. I couldn't help but comparing how fluidly my fingers flow on the keyboard and how ungainly I am at drawing and emoting pictorially. I guess had we been asked to use MS Paint or GIMP or some such stuff the output would have been remarkably slicker, but well everything can't be done on a laptop right :)
Anyways, since the standards were low, I and my partner actually ended up winning the runners-up award for our shoddy efforts! So lahdees and the genteelmen, without further ado I present before you our monumental masterpiece (roll the drums, raise the curtains...)



Ya, ya I can picture the grin on your face. But what the hell, it was fun :). Ok, this Artiste is signing off for now!
P.S. Let me know if anyone wants to shell out dollars for this masterpiece ;)

Analyze This!

I saw this movie over the weekend. Robert De Niro simply rocks in his mafia don roles! I just love him and his "You talkin' to me? huh" accent. Was just thinking - do we analyze other people all the time? Do we measure them up the moment we see them? Do they analyze you in turn? Why the hell do we analyze each other? Can't we just be? (don't you dare analyze my questions now :-P).

I also saw another movie over the weekend "U, Me aur Hum" and it deals with Alzheimer's Disease. One quote I saw from the movie was memorable. It said -

"We served him thrice and then he served himself"

Sums up the disease pretty well according to me.

Analytically in the ongoing week, it turns out that at work too, its my turn to analyze things. Am going over a report from a customer and am pretty much chewing my nails trying to analyze it properly. Its a decently big document and thankfully it contains enough information to cogently get something out of it. So I guess I will analyze this and catch up on "Analyze That" hopefully over the weekend :)

TechNik

So, this is my personal blog. I realized that I have a lot of non-personal things to say. So I have another blogging site where I am going to blog about technical stuff (ahem, ahem - before you scoff, please take a look, I am a bit technical sometimes :)). Check out my TechNik!

Eros

Hmmm, so I am going to say something here that will surprise many! Afterall, I am married (have been married for the last 3 plus years) and happily so. Then pray why, I want to say something which will come as a shock to the readers. Pray why, I want to lay my soul and heart bare in front of you all. Eros (err.. God) only knows...

Ok, so by now you are - depending on who you are, mildly, amusedly, alarmingly (this must be Pi) curious as to what I am talking about. Ok, lahdies and genteelmen, here is my confession....

I have fallen in LOVE again! It's just recently that I set my eyes on her and it was love at first sight. It was like Eros - the love god wanted me to gaze upon her and get eye-struck with her beauty. I don't know what is the corresponding term that guys can use - but suffice to say that whenever I see her it makes me go the male equivalent of "Going weak in the knees"..

And so you will think, who is she and whether I plan to tell all. Ofcourse I do, I am not ashamed to tell all what an amazing beauty she is and what I would not do to covet her. Here is my LOVE in all her glory ....
