(void)

Sooraj had come to Hyderabad. Had a great weekend.

Also my good Friend from school started blogging. Check it out: Joey’s Blog

On the way back they sang a number of tuneful and reflective songs on the subjects of peace, justice, morality, culture, sport family life and the obliteration of all other life forms.

- Life, the Universe and Everything

I just love Douglas Adams way of writing.

Once a Loser, always a …

So we decide to go to Hussain Sagar Lake. They have benches along the side and we had decided to catch the sunset there. So what started as a leisurely stroll ended up to be a race to catch a glimpse of that dying sun. I can’t say we were running but we definitely weren’t walking either.

Finally we spot the row of Benches in the distance. As we move closer, to our dismay, most of them occupied. Nonetheless we spotted a few unoccupied ones. It took us a second to realise why they where not occupied – broken.

But we don’t give up. Lo and behold, we find a perfect bench (perfect as in: unoccupied and a surface to place your butt on). We quickly settle down and stare ahead in silence. At first i thought it was satisfaction. After a minute of silence we it became obvious to us that the view we had wasn’t at all what we had hoped for.

This is what we saw:

Bench!!

No its not that cozy bench from the picture above. 1 day is all i had of it and I’m already sick n tired of it. 6 Hours of doing nothing. And its not the nothing that you do in your room on weekends when you have nothing to do. Its the kind of nothing that’s really nothing. Just nothing.

I did try to read a book (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy) and believe me it was good. But i can’t sit there and read all the time. So I just start walking between those cubicles. Walking and walking. Searching for something that is not nothing. Anything.

Our own crazy world …

Posted on by

We live in a crazy world of our own. And we enjoy it so much that we can’t accept anybody into that world unless he/she is exactly what we seek. And then comes along this new Roomie. And he just can’t stop talking. Ever talked to Punnen regarding movies? No? try it. It may be simple question like “Did you see this movie?” and you will get loads of information you didn’t really ask for. Like the director,actor, actor’s GF, director’s next movie, favourite colour, camera angles, actor’s favourite undies colour and soon.. But that’s still manageable. Now imagine that for every question of every domain. And sometime you don’t even have to ask a question.
As Punnen aptly put it: ” It’s a Punnen on steroids”.

Anyways its too much to handle.

I’m pretty sure you guys must be saying : You are so mean.

But ,trust me, you have to experience it. And then you would be blogging about it.

Hey Julie – Fountains of Wayne

Sorry , this is just the audio.

And here is the Scrubs version.

This songs reminds me of my corporate life. Only things that’s missing is a “Julie” for me.
Applications for prospective “Julie’s” are welcome.

Lyrics follow:


Working all day for a mean little man
With a clip-on tie and a rub-on tan
He’s got me running ’round the office like a dog around a
track
But when I get home,You’re always there to rub my
back

Hey Julie,
Look what they’re doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it’s so hard to bear it
And I’d never make it through without you around

Hours on the phone making pointless calls
I got a desk full of papers that means nothing at
all
Sometimes I catch myself staring into space
Counting down the hours ’til I get to see your
face

Hey Julie,
Look what they’re doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it’s so hard to bear it
And I’d never make it through with out you around
No, I’d never make it through with out you around

[Bridge]
How did it come to be
That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time
Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway

Working all day for a mean little guy
With a bad toupee and a soup-stained tie
He’s got me running ’round the office
Like a gerbil on a wheel
He can tell me what to do
But he can’t tell me what to feel

Hey Julie,
Look what they’re doing to me
Trying to trip me up
Trying to wear me down
Julie, I swear, it’s so hard to bear it
And I’d never make it through with out you around
No, I’d never make it through without you around
No, I’d never make it through with out you around
