Stella stinks.. Beck’s Fake. Fuck Buffet.. Budweiser rocks..
I’m floored!! Its amazing.. Had never browsed the Net before using a hand held device over Wi-Fi. Came back form office few hours ago and thought of browsing the Net using our recently configured Wi-Fi access point. My shitty Compaq laptop gave up. It wouldn’t detect the network itself my roomie’s was browsing quite happily using his HP. Thats when I found the his iPod Touch lying on the bed. It instantly caught my eye. Wi-Fi on an iPod. Yippie.. There were no hiccups at all. It detected all the available Wi-Fi networks around and quite comfortably connected me to the Internet. Browsing is a piece of cake with this device. Although writing emails or posts could be a difficult task due to the touch interface. However I could browse almost any site using it. Including WordPress. I could read and write posts too. In fact I wrote one post, but something got screwed up while posting it. Anyway the Compaq is working fine after a few configuration change so writing the post using it. I wish I had posted this using the Touch. The screen has a brilliant display. Watching Youtube and following the Maps were a real pleasure to the eye. I can’t help it anymore. I’m ordering one for myself before I get a Macbook.
For the first time in life, witnessed snowfall. Milky white. Its soft and beautiful. Grass looks even greener with snow. Almost near Nirvana.
We have a varying number of laptops in our room at a given point of time.. Number of friends come in, go out.. We have a DSL connection from Indicom, pretty bad service but quite habituated with it now.. Anyway I’ve been thinkin about sharing the connection over Wi-Fi for quite long time. My tryst with Wi-Fi started 8 months back when two IITian dudes came to live with us. They had 2 laptops with Wi-Fi. I was able to set up a network and they could connect to it. I could even share and transfer files over wireless with one of them. However I never was able to share the internet connection using XP(I wish I had a mac). Today my rommie’s girl friend came in with her Vista based HP notebook and connected it to the Indicom cable. Thats when I thought of giving it a final try. I took her laptop and set up a network connection and shared the Internet connection over wireless. Of course I did use an authentication method (WEP), cuz today in the morning itself I was browsing the net over a wireless connection that was unprotected. Probably one those bunch guys living in the ground floor had kept his Wi-Fi on and was using an Internet connection. Poor guy probably has no idea what it is and how vulnerable his laptop is!! Anyway the Vista based set up worked like breeze and I’m actually writing this post using the Internet connection that’s been shared by another laptop somewhere around 6 meters from my laptop and is in another room!!! That gives me a lot of satisfaction.. Finally I went wireless on my laptop(legally) cuz anyway I’ve browsing the net on my E62 phone..
Got up at 6.05 AM. Saw the sun and felt the cool breeze of the morning. Had my breakfast. All this after a grueling period of more than 1 year. I feel like a human again!
My fingers are still smelling ghee from what I did 1 hour ago. Yep.. I’d my first cooking lesson from my rooomie Biswajit. I just prepared Fried Rice!! In fact it was not that difficult as I’d imagined. And it was yummy. You better believe me on that. Below instructions are for anyone who is interested and want to taste it.
1. Heat Ghee for 2 minutes (a bit more than 2 tbl spoon!!)
2. Put green peas, cauli flower, beans, pea nuts, cashew nuts and some sipces.
3. Fry it for 5 minutes or till it gains a bit dark color or something like that..
4. Take 2 cups of rice and wash it properly.
5. Add the rice to the vegetables and fry it for 5 minutes or so.
6. Add 4 to 5 cups of water to it.
7. Leave the pressure cooked for 10 mintues on medium flame.
8. Now its your job to finish it. hahaahaaaa….
Hey I’m not kidding. The stuff I’d prepared was really yummy. Unfortunately my camera was not with me so clicked a couple of grainy pictures using the VGA camera of my previous phone; my current phone doesn’t even have a camera. Any hope you liked it and would probably prepare the same. Let me learn some more recipes I’ll defintely write posts on them too. Happy cooking!!
I just woke up. Had a shower. Didn’t have lunch. Last day of night shift today. Slept like a baby in the daytime, inspite of dreams about ghosts and other things which don’t scare me.
Its nearing mid of Feb. Haven’t started traveling yet, except for a trip to home town last month. Mama says “stop traveling too much”. She is scared that I might die in a road accident someday. She has no idea how many people die on their way to office.
Too busy with work, leaving me with little time for the ‘I’ in me. Trying to read some books. Only good ones. Life is too short to waste on bad things which includes dumb girls. Bad books makes you feel like a shithead and dumb girls are always a nightmare. people in office want me to join them on a team outing. Some sort stupid weekend trip. I see their faces 5 days a week. They are not ready to spare me 1 day of happiness. I say “Good job guys”.
I feel like living isolated sometimes. Cutoff from the hustle of the working world; only connected to it virtually. Lost in the oblivion, listening to Pink Floyd. Expecting some sort of Domino effect afterwards.
I’m a software professiona, but not much into technology these days. I used to bang my head over trivial things like “How Linux is better” and shit like that. I’m over it now. Just trying ro use my lappy as given to me. Feeling the web around me. Have no intention to write any ground breaking algorithm. Just a feeling of detachment.
Life feels beautiful sometimes. So does death. But hopeful that it would be long before I face the second one. Hahahaaa…. Life looks beautiful except for petty things like office, rising blood pressure, HDL, LDL, traffic and shit like that. I see the setting sun in the horizon; with a bunch of Grey marooned clouds. Birds flying away forming a V in the distant sky. Sometimes a question pops up inside the circuits of my little brain. How far is illusion from reality? Should put this question to a NASA scientist. Is green grass laced with droplets from fog an illusion and tar on the roads a reality? How about Einstein this time?
Definition : Everything that has been accomplished, no matter by whom, irrespective of nationality, skin color or religion bias, is actually a result of the person in question being on high; and the rest of the world is good for nothing.
The ‘High’ that I’m talking about here is not limited to but includes smoking marijuana, getting drunk and stuff like that. High as the word suggests is a higher state of being. People have experienced this high factor by falling in love with a boy, girl or may both; whatever. Music can get you high. City girls these days are on diet high. Painting gives some people high. And of course Yoga, meditation, computer game medical conditions like Insomnia are all actually a way of achieving high. I remember one my previous tech leads, who is currently leading version 3.0 of his life, mentioning somewhere about getting high on near death experience. Not too sure about that. I’ve no idea how this theory came into my mind while sitting on the commode.
Believe me, even the “Theory of relativity” and all the “Newtonian Theories” are based on this “High Theory”. Yeah. These people used to get high on PHYSICS. Quite possibly. The US attacked Iraq because it was on a war high. Saddam got caught because he couldn’t achieve high anymore. Bin Laden is still on high. Steve Buckner didn’t take wrong decisions deliberately. He did it because he is high on anti-Indian sentiments. The news channels aren’t producing bullshit because they are news channels. They are doing it because they are on news high. So everything, good shit, bad shit, best of the shitpile are all on high. I hope you got an idea. Jay HIGH.
Nov 16, Friday night; took a bus from BLR to Hyderabad. Nov 17 and Nov 18, visited Salarjung museum and Snow world. Eat street revisited. Back to BLR on 19th. Completed my 10,000 KMs of travel inside India. Feels like I’ve achieved something. But again anyone with enough time and a little bit of money can do it. So actually feeling like a stupid asshole. But was never was disappointed with any of these journeys. Learnt a lot from them.
Deleted my Orkut account with 76 photos and more than 1K scraps and 137 friends, on the day of Christmas. No idea why. Probably it was just a new way to start the new year. Had a beer bath at 12.00 AM on 1st Jan, 2008. But new year is not looking new anymore.
So this post is just to congratulate myself for completing my 10,000 KMs inside India and deleting my Orkut profile!!
