Different Things

Today I have a some different different things to say, and here they go:

Starting from this post I will label all my posts at the begining with something meaningful which will describe their content in one word.So I start by:

Double Meaning :)

Got this mail from parang toady, makes a nice read
Ever Wondered..How wud sum common english sayings translate in hindi???too good hai
Have a nice day! - Achcha din lo!
What's up? -Uppar kya hai?
You're kidding! -Tum bachcha bana rahe ho
Yo, baby! What's up? - Beti Yo, uppar kya hai?
Cool man! -Thandaa aadmi!
She's so fine! -Woh itnee baareek hai!
And the best ones are.....
How do you do? - Kaise karte ho?
Keep in touch....chhute rehna





Google:
Read this post. This is my kinda stuff. But aneways will have to admit that Microsoft have much better interface be it live search, live homepages, blogs . Google has to to something here and that too fast!!
And why doesn't Goolge(blogger) incorporate something so as to save the posts as we are writing them... just as it does with Gmail... I had lost this post due to some error and its then the idea struk... kuchh karo... kuchh karo Google.... kya kar rahe ho...


Personal:
Today is the first time I felt that my stay here should have been longer... damm!!!! basiclly I have started on a new project here... and its kinda good... but only 3 weeks are left.... and I dont wanna leave it incomplete, becuz the results could be wonderful, becuz kgp sucks, becuz I will have to clean my room , remove atleast 1kg of cowwebs, attend classes :((.... beta zameen pe aaja.... aneways my prof is also leavin town from so I am pretty sure that the work will be incomplete... subak... subak..
Finally I can't wait to buy a Ipod, although I haven't been paid till now, but I will spend the last few remaining $$s tomorrow... I am thinking of buying Ipod Nano 2GB... Black ofcourse....
and haan after a long time today I am listening to punjabi song... and as I am writing this post I am a dancing a bit too... :D, as you may have known tilll now... headsets in my lab simply rock!!!!
and finallt yaar meri angrezi bahut kharab hain yaar... log to kya dhansu angrezi main posts likhte... ki kuchh palle nahin padta... ab mujhe kuchh karna hoga... instead of Google... any sugsestions???

Share your Calender

Google has launched a new feature whereby you can share your Google calenders with others in order to remain synchronized. The most special feature about this that others can view your calender even if they don't use Google calender. You can put the calender in ur profile page, blog, homepage, anywhere u want and can be easily downloaded. Check it out.

One Year!!!!!!

Ya, one year has gone by!!! One year of silent admiration, one year of silent wishes, one year of reading posts with posting comments, one year of that silent pain deep down my heart, one year wishing that it may come true one day, and ofcourse one year with the feeling that I shouldn't have done it, then atleast one of us would be happy.
But whatever happens, happens for a good. is that true??? what good was done last year!!!! I can't realy figure out. :(..... but stiill I wonder that how come two unlikely events ocoured at the same time. The first one being me telling her, which ofcourse needs a full blog for descreption :), and the second one, me misreading my ticket... I mean its really unlikely... but then ... it happened.
As I am writing this blog, I am reliving that night, so happy I was after declaring my feelings, but then came the twists and turns which really made it an anticlimax. But amazingly, somehow I still remember her smile, the one thng I had fallen for. I can close my eyes and see her smiling.

Now all I can hope is not writing a similar post, same day next year and what I need is luck and support from ur side. Atleast this, can be expected from all of you.

Tales continue 0.4.0

hmm... so today was a good day.... in the morning I was trying to install a soft IP phone and connect to an asterisk server running on linux.... uffff but finally happened and we can now proceed over with the experiment.... but this blog is about Ahista Ahista.... a forthcoming film... featuring Abhey Deol and Soha Ali Khan.... found about it on musicindiaonline.com while searching for some new music. So whats the big deal?? right... Basically I am a fan of Abhey Deol, liked his performance in Socha Na tha.... and the trailors of the movie look good , you can download them here. See the stills, Soha Ali Khan looks cute, just as in Rang De Basanti. Even the music is good, its not as catchy as RDB but still good, specially the title track. Listen music online here. Its quite different from the usual Jhalak Dikhlaja types expected from Himesh Reshammiya.

Finally installed IE 7 today. Its good, specially it has tabbed interface, which was the least thing required. Its bloking popups too and has better look and feel than mozilla. But the problem is that it doesn't have as many extensions as mozilla, but I don't use any so its fine for me. Ther's one difference but, when you open a new tab in mozilla, its usually the last, but in IE7 its next to the window its opened from.

Chalo I got a leave, got to watch the game between Miami Heats and Dallas... NBA is damm good to watch. Adios!!!!!

Share pics with Google

Google have launched a new feature of Picasa, which allows you to upload, download and share photos online. There's a new version of Picasa which needs to be downloaded for online sharing. But it is in test phase right now and an invitation is needed to be able to download the new software. You can get the invitation here. This is in compition to Flickr, but one thing which stans out is that you can download the whole of your friend's album if u want to, rather than downloading on pic at a time. Also there are no ads in the online version. Finally it looks much much better than Flickr. Check it out. And as always its free. There's 250 MB of space available with every invitation and u can also upgarde to a 6GB account by paying in some amount. The invitaions are on a first come first served basis, so hurry up!!!!

Tales Continue 0.3.0

The song I am listening to right now is
Christmas is All Around
from the movie Love Actually
I don't know why, I love this song.... The Lyrics get me going... maybe its the sweet memories associated with movie come back..... specially the music in between the lines.... infact all the songs from Love actually are pretty good.....
Well its sunday afternoon, just finished ironing all the clothes that I had washed las week.... I hate ironing becuz its boring and monotonic...... hope will not be the same after I get an Ipod.... but for that the SSN number will have to come and so waiting and hoping...... Tell u what, its not really afternoon, its 7 in he evening, but the sun sets late so even 6 or 7 pm here, seems like 3-4 pm of India....
and haan wanted to write abt ponds..... Gaurav... he has been here with me...... for the past 3 weeks now.... one thing... he's a snail.... subah aaram aaram se brekfast khata hain.... he takes a bite and then thinks...... thinks...... and finally the next bite.... I hate this becuz we are always late for work.... but people are the way they are..... right at this very moment.. .. he is ironing... and for the past 1 hr he has done just 2 shirts and a pant I suppose.... :D, but khana ek dum first class pakata hain... so cant really complain.... no no a really peace guy to live with.... enoying a lot wit him..
Went to a mall yesterday.... and as u know I am a tshirt freak.... brought 2 from old navy... given the fact I have many already..... I cant really resist this tempataion...... one is white, with collar... has some strips, although it was a bit oversize, but even then bought it, the second one is round collared blue in colour, says "always thinking", looks kinda nice....
5 weeks have past by in a flash and 5 more to go..... feeling kinda itchy.... means the comfortability level is going down.....not really missing home, not kgp also... but I dont know why am I feeling this way..... but one thing is clear to me... I will not go for a job straight away...... means I can't do work at somone else's whims and fancies.... happened last week... after my initial project ended, prof gave me some work I didn't like, so took a whole week to do the work insted of just 2 days..... and whats the point qualifing, one of the most difficult public exams, knowing that u have it in you, and the settling down for a job, just becuz its fast cash...... I mean there aren't many people who get to do what they really want..... I have had talks with seniors who say... yaar is company main mat aane agle saal... bahut boring kaam hain..... and then following a 9 to 6 schedule for their boring work.... I mean what the fuck.... atleast taking the other option will have the advantage of me doing whatever I wish....... lets see what happens....
The reason that I am writing al this crap is, I have noting else to do..... can't call india... it will be early moring there.....nothing is coming on TV...he he ... something happend... will tell ya later.. gtg.... starbucks calling bbye.

A Day of Emotions

The day started with a segmentation fault and seems to be ending on the same note. No No I fixed the bug but got a bigger one..... hmmmm.... I am mixing two different things there... so lets separate... So last night I stayed till 3 am in the lab just to fix a segmentation fault...... or is it.... naa... I love when I am alone in the lab.... ya you can do whatever you want... play songs on one comp... work on the other.... y??? I work on linux and listen music online.... aneways found that the fault was just due to not closing a file pointer...... fcuk yaa!!!!!

Aneways came home had dinner and slept at 4 and then back to work at 9:30...... now the good things started to happen.... first my mentor came down and gave me the TR I had been writing(or say editing) for the last 4 days and told me that he has converted it to latex, changed the grammer a bit and wanted a final review...... yo it was my turn now..... I was the one who was to find the errors and not correct them..... and finally by the end of the day I was able to get it published/accepted in UTEP and now its official.... you can accaess it here , #26.

now about the biggest surprise of the day..... theres one girl whom I love/adore.... but it isn't the same from her side..... doesn't matter.... usually I visit her Orkut profile as often as I visit mine..... no wonder my "who visited ur profile" option is off :).... I had always thought that even if I get one pic of her from some where.... I will be a happy man.... I had this desire from a long time... but its today that it came true.... yes while blindly searching some of her friend's album I got her pic..... wow!!!!! I was awestruck..... I kept looking at the pic for atleast 5 mins.... how to describe..... she had her breathtaking smile, was looking simplistic as always... just as I had always imagined.......and all the events from previous year summers were flashing by.... then the thoughts that if were together by any chance..... wow!!!! what a life would that have been....and at this very moment as I am writing I am so exited that I can't type.... :)... but right then my guide walked in and started discussing my next project..... who was listening to him.... My mind was in the pic... wow..... my dream had come true..... I got what I desired.... as he went out of the room... i dld the pic.... edited it and made it my wallpaper.... told Tinni abt it....

Whole of this time I was listening to the song She Will Be Loved.... by Maroon 5... its a beautiful song.... seems it was written for me... an the music awesome... and even now as I am writing this blog, its playing.... I found this song on Chirayu's Blog... thanx Chirayu.... u can dld it from here

Now as I head home, happy and cheerfull, the weather too agrees with me. Usually when I walk back home at 6pm, its sunny... but today it was cloudy.... and this place rocks when the weather is like that..... passed by the gardens with the sprinkler on.... hands in pocket... murmuring the song I had been listening all day..... just like the scene that comes in hindi movies before a romantic song... but sadly there was no romantic song to follow.... I am not that lucky!!!!! landed home,and yes finally the AC is working.... yoooo.... the AC was not working from the last 2 weeks and I was having sleepless nights....... but the good part of the whole day ends here... realized that it was my turn to cook... I hate that thing.... but cooked chana and rice... turned out to be decent... but while cooking I was still thinking about the snaps.....why was I so happy today.... TR is not a big thing... no one cares about a damm fucking technical report.... and y was I happy for the pic...... I have her pic not her.... and aneways we are not going to talk... not going to meet...... probably she is never going to think about me..... and her picture will make me more desperate.... where am I heading.... nowhere.....and the first thing I will see next morning is she smiling back at me.... damm I got to remove that wallpaper.... I am heading the same road as I used to warn others about... what!!!!!! dude u got to move on...... there much more to life than repenting over what you don't have..... probably the segmentation fault was good... it had me engrossed, it challanged me..... made me think, got me tired and eventually I had a good nights sleep without having any energy left to thing about her...... the segmentation fault was better.... :(

some lines from the song I really like....

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

continuing

I don't know why I am doing this anremembering her a lot.d and what triggered this but today I am remembering her a lot. I thought of mailing her but then I was happy with my silence as there is somebody else who loves her as much as me and din't get his fair chance to express himself... and most importantly i don't wanna loose him as a friend... becuz what you have is more important than what you can have.....
And even if I mail her she's not going to reply... so whats the point in mailing her..... but what a lucky person she is.... wow!!... there are at least 2 people who love her from their heart..... wow kaash mere saath bhi aisa hota.....
aneways.. I know tomorrow morning I will notfeel the same... but that doesn't mean my feeling for her will change... but I will continue to be strong as I have been and will not break this golden silence.... and ya luv u blog.... u have always been there for me.. :-*
