My scripts

30-Aug, it was my birthday and on that morning Mom gifted me a black dial -wrist-watch :-). After answering to all the birthday wishes, I set to office and joined a meeting. I got a call from Mantu (my co-brother) when I was in the meeting; I disconnected the call, telling him that I would call back after some time. After the meeting, I called him and got excited when he told that Shruthi has sent a gift to me and he asked me to collect it from MIT College (near Srirangapatna).  I was lil’ busy and I told him that I would meet him at 4:00. Mantu was also busy and he was there in the college for a workshop. At 4:00 pm, I started from office and by that time, Mantu was also done with this work. He handed the gift to me and it was Nokia E63! I happily received it from him, rang Shruthi and thanked her ;-). The gift was not a surprise to me as I got few indirect hints from Shruthi the previous week ;-) I invited Mantu and his colleagues for a coffee near Mysore, Mantu got into my ca...

Though the phrase is from the famous movie "3 Idiots", the attitude is from a typical Indian. In the movie Aamir khan narrates a story of his town - the people in his town used to sleep peacefully by hearing the Gurkha’s (night watchman) call - "Aal Izz well" (all is well), thinking that he is there to watch. Once a robbery happened in the town and later the people came to know that this Gurkha is blind.   People will not wake up / act, unless it’s alarming or things have turned worse and have come to their neck. Assertiveness, examination, backup option, taking initiatives lack in many people. If few things are moving smooth (good / bad) leave it as-it-is, unless something major happens with the system.    Take this most irritating unscheduled power cuts in Karnataka; as an interim arrangement the state govt thought of buying power from “power surplus state” Gujarat. Gujarat govt (after its survey) announced that the state is ready to give power, but Karnataka ...

This used to be the starting line of the famous comic book - The Phantom. This is how the stories of phantom used to begin. I used (still am) be a great fan of comic books. How I used to like all those books - Amar Chitra kathas; the Panchatantra stories, the mythological characters, the superheroes like Phantom, Mandrake 'n Luther, Flash Gordon... 'n the list continues. My aunt gifted me a huge collection of Disney comics; who can forget those characters - Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Minnie.... During our summer vacations me and my bro used to rush to our close-by circulating library to get the latest Tinkle, Archies, Tintin..... We were fantasied by these stories and characters. I'm sure most of my time guys used to do the same. Hey, but hold-on; why am I giving this title for my post? This is for the new generation who are less / not exposed to these characters / comic books. This is for the children who came late [new generation]   :-) All these comics ...

Lets understand the definition of this crime; Blame is the act of censuring, holding responsible, making negative statements about an individual or group that their action or actions are socially or morally irresponsible, the opposite of praise. When someone is morally responsible for doing something wrong their action is blameworthy. By contrast, when someone is morally responsible for doing something right, we may say that his or her action is praiseworthy. There are other senses of praise and blame that are not ethically relevant. One may praise someone’s good dress sense, and blame the weather for the crop failure. (this defn is from from Wiki) Why do people blame others? When there is a fault / error / mistake and things have gone out of their control. When people want to hide their mistakes. When people want to take advantage of a situation / play politics. When people want to play prank on others. But when blaming, do you really think of the implications? The imp...

Today, I was home a bit early; had plans to go around the city to see the lights. My parents were waiting to join me. [Shruthi and Yashas are in Chickmagalur for Yashas's Dasara vacations :( ] On my way I picked my granny from her place and we all set out to view the lightings. I saw the distant Chamundi hill's outlined lights. It was looking as though an elephant has kneeled down to carry Godess Chamundi on its back (could see the temple on the elephant's back) This was my imagination though, but the lights on the hill are splendid. We followed the lights starting from JLB road (from Hyundai showroom) and we reached the City Railway station. I feel, this the first time the city has more lights than every before. The Railway station circle lights were very beautiful. We entered the Sayyaji Rao road and this road was looking magnificent; five columns of serial lights were hanging over the road. It was truly a majestic feeling !!!! Though its a Mysore road, the traffic mad...

The literal meaning of Paperized is getting married, so you may ask me whoz marrying the papers ?!! In India, many offices / people working in them cannot live without paper. Forget about govt offices, the so called ITans use paper for their referrrrenccce !!! I'm working in an pvt IT co. (laid out in its factory campus) and people maintain papers in all the departments as RECORDS. You apply for leave on a paper, take permission to go out ('coz its a factory campus) on a paper. LTA application, make your travel claims, apply for additional hardware items etc etc ...all on papers !!! Imagine even having so many automated systems at the office, finally you have to take printouts of the final FORM, get signatures from multiple people (on multiple copies for multiple departments) and submit !!! Lets come to govt offices; the project I'm working on, is for govt utilities. Can you imagine the final output of the product? PRINTOUTs (filed) !!!! of all the reports generated from th...
