Experiencing XP

Out of all the options I have for an operating system. I've got XP Pro. Now most people don't switch their operating systems as much as they change their skins. But with me, I change my OP almost twice a year. Sometimes even more than that if I'm feeling up to it. And that's not because I can change my skin.

Now any sane person would ask me why in the name of anything for that matter, would I keep changing my OP? Well because it make me feel I'm smart. See the point? And also I've got around 7 - 10 OS's lying around. I've also asked for UBUNTU Linux which they ship for free. And anything that's free is good. I had Vista few days back. Been using it since last year. And I'd chose it amongst all the OS's I've got. But the fact remains that you cannot run a spacecraft on kerosene. So here I am back to earth. Vista was all good besides the fact that it decided to piss me off by not starting properly. So I just took it out.

I'm waiting for UBUNTU. I'll install it on a test run 1st. It's supposed to be most safe and stable off all the OS's in the market. Anyway that's all about my computer for now. If only MSEB doesn't throw down their switches for a change.

Banned from kitchen :(

Well its a very short story which I'm gonna sound very long. Because I can and so can Hollywood directors. Remember the movie 'Phone Booth'?

Now this is what had happened.

I was busy, I mean very busy playing computer game in the morning. And my mum was busy working in the kitchen. And papa was busy humming some tulu song very loudly. Mum saw me playing games and started screaming at me for being an absolutely irresponsible towards my duty as a son. So she made me peal garlic for her. She went off to take a bath and asked me to further my duty by grinding the garlic and other odd looking and foul smelling spices in the mixer. That's when disaster struck.

I put the whole foul smelling mixture to the mixer. Turned the damned mixer on and went of to sip water. And BANG the whole kitchen was now smelling foul. Burnt foul smelling spices and plastic. I was on the floor. Can't remember how I got there. I had just taken a shower. Papa was still trying to make sense of what happened in the kitchen. And if this is Osama bin Laden's idea of a terror weapon. Foul smelling bombs. And then mum barged in. And you can imagine the rest. So here I am banned from entering kitchen. I did sneak in for a banana though. I'm guessing the ban will be lifted tomorrow morning for breakfast. For now here I am busy doing noting. I think I'll get back to Jeremy Clarkson's book.

cough syrup

This week's been weird. One of the many weird weeks in my weird life. 1st things 1st. I was hopeful of getting a lappy but it seems i'm not gonna be so lucky after all. 2nd I've got a bad cough, which means no point in going to work so i'm home. I'll be amazed if my boss doesn't fire me for being ill. And I'm zonked on cough syrups. I prefer whisky or vine. 3rd my internet connection package got over and i'm almost out of cash so till 7th of this month not much internet socializing. 4th I want to keep on writing but I feel so bored that I don't want to do anything. 5th I havn't played my guitar for centuries now. 6th I've been reading Jeremy Clarkson. Who is he? Well he's an automobile journalist. His style is sort of dry humor and I feel at home reading his work. In his book all he writes is irrelevent things about relevent topics. Then I've got this huge Hitchhicker's guide to galaxy lying around and another business related book, I've forgotten its name its by Ricardo Semler. Its got good humor too. Been to Landmarks, Andheri. Went through almost all of the books in the humor section and found some of the worst scriptures I've ever read. Including academic books. 7th I'm feeling sleepy again. 8th I moved my whole desktop PC to my hall so I can use dail up. And now I gotta take it back in. AAAAARRRGGGGHHHH. 9th Why the F**K am I counting? 10th I think I should get some sleep. -_-

The tale of 'Bleh bleh pink sheep'

Once upon a time one of my many little cousins
woke up in the morning and wanted a pink sheep.
All the members of my royal family went on a quest.
In search of that pink sheep for the little princess.
We searched and searched every corner of the mighty earth.
But we couldn't find a pink sheep for the angel princess.
She weeped and she wept.
Even when everyone else slept.
For the pink sheep she saw in her deepest dreams.
And then came an idea onto me.
Why not make a pink sheep indeed!
I went on an expedition to the local store.
And bought a new white sheep.
I painted it pink for my lovely little princess.
And returned to the castle as a hero from a quest.
And I saw her smile and her beautiful wet eyes.
And I felt so much love for the little soul.
If I were a prince in real.
I'd swear my life to make her smile.
I write these lines for her to read.
Someday she might understand what this all means.

My life now

Well just replied to a comment from a vistor to my post. Don't get them as often. Well what's happening in my life? Nothing and everything. Getting my head straight about a girl that I had crush on... busy with my job... left no time to work on my projects, will get back to it this weekend... listening to more music... listening to americans complaining... traveling and hating traffic and wishing for a flying broom stick... and sleeping during the day. What's weird is I'm not feeling sleepy today. I only slept for 4 hours and I'm guessing i'll be having trouble staying awake tonight. Been reading a book 'Art of the Strategist' for a while, a very good book on biz strategies. Need to search for a book store soon coz It's been 3 months since I last bought a book and the one in my colony has closed down! >_< I need a shave too I look like a muncipality garden and a hair cut to ad to that. Thats for now until next time. Sayonara

The last night fiasco O_O

Well last night was my 1st day on the floor. Well in layman's words it means yesterday I took an actual call. And I freaked out O_O . Forgot every damn greeting I'm supposed to blurt out into the mic. Tried to troubleshoot but pissed the caller after trying to find a way to help him for 45mins. So much for beginner's luck and the so called confidence seems no where in sight! Everyone said I was good on the call and even the experienced lot might have got nervous in this situation since the issue was very complex. Like yeah, but I'd appreciate some true feedback instead. Well I'm not taking any call tonight. I need to practice macros and keyboard shortcuts to get my documentation up to the mark. Well for laymen again, documentation means I'm supposed to document every steps of troubleshooting that the customer has tried and also the ones I've suggested. And I suck at multi tasking. For now got loads of work to fill my Saturday and Sunday. Thats all for now. Ciao!

Where I've been?

That's the question you'd have asked, if you had ever bothered reading my blog. And thankfully no one does so I'm safe to write any crap in here and not be laughed at. So back to the question. I've been working. Yes! Turns out that I'm not as lethargic as I seem to be. My mum should read this post :P . Well since last time I posted I've been through one guilt period because a good friend of mine and apparently my crush (I still don't really understand what a crush is really) is shifting out of town :( . For the rest of the days I've been myself, just as I usually am. Also been feeling all romantic for unknown reasons. Which is quite an unusual thing. My girl friends say that my face is expressionless and only show two emotions happy or confused and they never realize if I'm pissed or whatever emotions these girls study and observe in guys. And they say only guys stare O_O. Well heres some lines I've been writing these days.

Who is she, where is she, why isn't she near me?
When will she come my way and do something to cheer me?
How long will I have to wait
To feel her bare skin on mine
I want to be with her
And feel divine.

g2g now will type the rest next time I get time to breath!
