blogged

Oh well its been a month since I started blogging daily, April it was almost daily coz I missed out a day of bloggin. I took this as a policy issue to blog daily & make it habitual to incur my wrath on my ambience. But the worst is that I havent received any comments unlike most other blogs. Never mind I do this job for my own self respect & satiate my ego. Nothing more ;)

MCSD screwed

I screwed up the MCSD paper for the third time in a row. Fuck!
I scored 568 outta 1000, not even able to reach the paltry 1000. Well I am supposed to get 36Qs in 150 minutes, but the test engine contrary to its promises offered only 30 Qs in 120 minutes. Okay I took this risk under the hope that atleast I've got one more shot free of cost from the fucker Gates. I dunno whether I can make it, or is it that MS knows I cant be MCSD till I complete 5 years as an IT pro & hence screweing me on purpose. Whatever I have wasted another 2.5 grands betting on the fucker.

Cram

Just cramming the notes I prepared while taking on the 2710 course & 70-300 dumps to give my third attempt at the exam. Already flunk twice, but this time I'm quite confident coz Ive done the right things at the right time. Hoping to fly out as MCSD.NET certified :)

home loan hecks

Felt cheated by SCB when I received the letter from them stating that my home loan rate has been increased & hence the tenure appended by 3 more months. When asked why, I got a reply stating that during the past 2 years after the disbursal of the loan the market rates dipped but my interest rate was compatible to them, hence it wasnt decreased, but now since the rates have increased the SCB cant suffer losses & it has raised my interest rate too. this means I was fooled by the SCB authorities, I was having a seemingly variable rate which never varied in the past 2 years. When the rates dip, bank wont consider decreasing the rate & hence gourmandize the profits, when the rate rise, the bank will tax that on the customer so that it wont incur the loss. Fuck the banking system. Final thought is that I decided to balance transfer the loan amount to a cheaper rate & better deal.

Le Royal Meridien

Been to the Le Royal Meridien 5* hotel @ chennai, near Kathipara junction for the gr8 team lunch. Well its pretty expensive for a buffet costing 500 bucks. Never mind its the corporate whoz gonna pay for it & its for 10 of us in here ;)

Okay so what was worth 500 bucks is nothing, there was no bloody proper main course & it was only the side-dishes that was in plethora for single main item on the menu. it was again pulao that was the main dish :(

Things were quite controversial to their temperaments. Desserts pissed off, the 5 flavors of ice creams available were hot & fluid. the naans were cold & hard to tear even with 2 hands. :( Yuck, Savera was a much better place for a cheaper cost.

believe in the future

In my opinion the star wars & harry potter craze is a big SHIT. When these movies totally rely on miasma of not so believable fiction, TERMINATOR & MATRIX rule my heart. With the recent developments on even having brain downloads by 2050, the fears of matrix & terminators might become true in due course.

media hypes prove futile

Hyderabadi girl Sania loses to Gisela of Argentina ranked somewhere in 30 is one news that didn't surprise me. Well I was wondering when the media & people stop hyping her of her worthless talent. C'mon enough of cribbing over her entry into 3rd rounnd of grandslam. It's been a long time since she proved worth. The court might be a possible cause of the misery, but one can't blame it for full.

One another piece of media shit is Narain who regularly loses chances, however I will really appreciate his optimism for looking forward to the next GP always. This optimism paves his way to hell, bastard he has done nothing but waste INDIAN F1 enthusiasts time. Nothing more. Budding motorists, Karun & Ibrahim might have their chances to prove, I'm sincerely awaiting them.

Now its Ganguly & Sachim taking time off the field while the tri-series @ SriLanka goes on. This can easily keep the doyens off blames of losing in cricket. Then why the hell don't they retire, giving way to juniors.

i PLAY

After almost 8 years I have played carom & chess y’day. The issue is that it’s was not just evanescent, but it was for 3 long hours which flew by like seconds. I played the good ol’ game of CHESS with my bro. He was real brains, but I managed to draw the game. The game lasted for more than 75 minutes. Then next came carom, I teamed with my mom & my bro with pops. We won the game 4-2. Time didn’t permit further. Bro had to prepare for JEE & mom, dinner. I myself was amidst busy schedule between project & studies. So where the time crept in for the play, one never knows. Never bothering to look the clock we continued till it hit us we had spent 3 hours in the process. Well even today morning we managed to play 4 games carom, with the same teams & we won again with 3-0. hehehe. Never knew I had so much abilities. ;)

mid sem Grades

Oh crap!!!

What where when how....

Really dont know what went wrong, where it went wrong when it went wrong & how it went wrong, I scored a paltry grade of B & C in TC & OOAD resp. in my mid sem. that piece of shit called assignment has taken its toll on my life in the first semester.

back2back

Oh BOY, its been a long time since I ve watched 3 movies back to back.

Being sunday, started late in the morning & did my chores, was right on target @ 1100 hrs for Scorpion King on Vijay TV & saw the masala in TAMIL. Next by 1300 hrs it was SNATCH on DVD, though wazsnt a slapstick it was a good entertainer. Just as it was over switched to ASIANET for manichitrathazu, mallu original of Chandramukhi. the cast & their performance was far much better than the tamil counterparts. No idea why the movie was a blunder in tamil.

No read coz its sunday ;) :D

Filthy Money

Fabulous Life programme on MJ, the KING of POP, by Vh1 was a great feast to the eyes & turns one green for the money the simian has got & spends.

Shit he shops like a kid, buying almost everything seen. This also featured in STAR WORLD once, while exploring his NEVERLANDS. This simian I guess for popularity sake bribes people for accusing him of child abuse charges & seemingly settle them out of court.

Owning the royalty for all the BEATLES tracks he makes filthy money. SHIT.

And his BAD, THRILLER & OFF THE WALL fetched him the bucks to buy the royalty & the fame to shoot to the stars.

COMPARE INDIA

Price comparisons of products on sale in INDIA is one big task since the demand & the expectations are contrary to each other.

After googling with the key phrases - india price compare - I just hit the result with compareindia site, which was HEAVEN contrary to what I thought (after visiting a few others while R&D-ing on electronic good prices). This was the site I spent more time after microsoft's.

Searching for reviews, prices & product comparisons for everything from cameras to cars I am now delighted to have made some great research on products accompanied by reviews on products, models & the brands. This really caters my temperament. The filtering of produts while selecting the features too is great, saving time, unike the time it takes to filter after all criteria is provided & the submit is hit. Should obviously revisit this.

India plans IT staff registry

India plans IT staff registry

What the F**K is the govt upto??? Next time you go to the loo the PM will find you panting in there.. there are watching you buying your secret PLAYBOY, the thing you work on, the paycheck you receive & what else not??? CRAP

I AM SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE FOR MY RIGHTS TO PRIVACY.

Its pirated now.

Inquisitive

I really wonder at times my OC, how come he is able to track 3rd party tools to get the work done easily. Or is it the enterprise wide practice to stick to certain tools that will be used for common purposes. For example, using the PDF converter from SOURFORGE is one. One more to cite is the file uploader DLL used in ASP. For that my OC discovered, as I would put it, VS Flex grid, Right Fax, Ascent Capture, etc, to make codes simple & use OOP to the radicals ;) At the same time his competency is so much that he handles almost all modules of my project though there are other OCs who look into it in full.

Okay am I flattering or vicarious?

Music on Media

What are the Fm channels upto??

Only shit like tracks played on almost all FM channels in Chennai. People seem to have the taste so. Only freq to play English tracks daily is 107.1, but that happens to be dependent on the RJ, who sucks. The rest play usually crap Tamil music. There is no decent music to be played. I will have to stream them myself to enjoy at home. Also in Chennai, Channel [V] & MTV dont show up due to CAS & on Vh1 usually good tracks play occasionally. Im tired of scorning everything around me. SHIT !!

I have discovered the demon in me.

Deccan Chronicle

The new news daily promises English to the poor, but the news, sorry the crap, that appears on the daily sucks, literally.
The commercials promoting the daily turn up on TV & radio with no justice to the content on the daily. The daily deals only with sex & glamour, nothing else. The rest always appear on the local tamil dailies. Maybe the only reason to buy one will be to learn ENGLISH, that too with the lustful pics put nearby for the real poor :P

ADMK wins bypolls

ADMK won the Gummidipoondi & Kancheepuram elections admist great high tension political drama by DMK. Watching the crap called SUN NEWS @ 2000 hours 1 would normally feel that ADMK can go any far to win the elections, by bribing the voters, MPs & MLAs not related to the constituency staying to canvas people in the constituency & their subsequent arrests, etc etc. The hype created by SUN TV was so much that ADMK was the mother of all WORST POLITY. But I cannot comment on the SUN TV nemesis JAYA TV since I didnt watch that. But again I'm afraid even that will be on similar grounds of political vendetta. Ultimately by HOOK OR CROOK ADMK has won the elections making DMK hit the floor for petty reasons. Okay neither is going to prove good for the state.

Are we yet to react??

The recent militant attacks at Srinagar for 2 consecutive days, very next to the decisions on the bus services from Lahore to Amritsar hasn't evoked proper response from the Indian top brass. They should have retaliated with NO PROGRESS WITHOUT PEACE which the previous BJP government did. No idea if these top brass are upto to sell Indian citizens to Pakistan & USA.

Self replicating robots

Oh shit, finally the dreams of matrix & terminator are turning into nightmares with the guys from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, creating miniature robots that just replicate themselves & nothing else. REUTERS has propagated this. Maybe sometime in the future they do more tghan just replicating themselves. As a matter of fact this evolution cannot be stopped but can be contained, on purpose for the sake of mankind.

PC strikes again

The financial minister has struck again & bearing the brunt is, the salaried middle class, again. Having made online tax payments tangible he substantiates it by making lesser tax evasion. Okay fine, let me pay the taxes, but that deteriorates as security body guards for worthless politicians, their salary & other perks. If not this, then for Musharaff. Why not tax heavily the millionaires, billionaires & trillionaires out there? When Ambanis can buy a Bentley for 5 crores, they can shred some of their filth by paying the country.

Added to the misery is RBI asking for the credit card transaction details. This may look right for those involved in business, what about the salaried class again? I pay my taxes & why should I again show the government what I spend with the paltry remaining? NO WAY. I cant approve this DICTATOR principle by the FM, Mr. PC.

Friendship Ties to Death Trap

Indio-Pak relations are suppose to grow stronger with the decision arrived on having bus services between Lahore & Amritsar & so on. But these Indian delegates do not understand one thing - Pakis can always flush their terrorists against India through this bus service, those who crossed borders at the pitch black night can now conveniently use the bus :(. The delegates forgot one thing - the INDIAN soldiers who died for the sake of Kashmir & the worthless Parliament attck on Dec 13.

May be if the Dec 13 proved successful for the Pakis, INDIA would have been thrown into utter chaos, but some DEMOCRATIC government might have formed, in the right sense of DEMOCRACY. Piss these politicians.

heck named PROMOTION

Why the hell were people hardly an year experienced promoted???

Well I didnt expect one anyways since I knew it was injustice on my part to demand one now.. What the hell do I know about Process & Quality? The same back at those quacks promoted... Shit!!!

"... an ignorant or worse, half educated manager is an extremely dangerous beast. Give me a wounded tiger anyday ..." - by David Platt in his bookUnderstanding COM+

This is what the organization has created right now. When the account has performed well, people behind require benefits, but at the same time promotions cant be given away just for the sake of it. Its prejudice to the process. Whatever we are in the process of creating "EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BEASTS"

Peck on the Cheek

Kannathil Muthamittal is one of the films that I'm always passionate of since its release. The review of this movie by a Hollywood critic, that too comparing the movie with that of his native & setting a decent tone about the movie is quite pretty compromising his hypocrisy.

Its nice to see OUR movies hitting their silver screens & getting good critics from them.

to open source or not to open source??

its been around 20 months since I joined my first job & still sticking to it, & being MCAD.NET certified, my temperament is to work on core .NET projects & churn out the scum in me. but there should be the WORK to hang on. being on the open source platform right now, im equivocating open source & .NET. when will i get the resolution on this, GOD only knows.

hoping a decent future & career - GANA.

CIOL : Recruitment : Sun to double India workforce

CIOL : Recruitment : Sun to double India workforce

Now thats good news for Indians, & for the Indian markets too.

We wont pay much for the value addition since its open source & also this initiative focussing on the Indian markets cant be costly either.

Kudos to the Stanford guys!!!

ebay rules

EBAY rules man.

Cheapest range of MP3, USB drives with FM too available for costs less than 2 grands.

Even iPods are available for prices from 10 grands. This place is really cool & for that fact these goods are promised BRAND NEW. However I'm sceptical abt this... ;)

Only problem I faced is that its all in bidding & not buy immediately :(

Boycott Parliament

NDA has decided to boycott the parliament budget sessions. What's the use of they getting elected then?
What's more important is that the opposition criticize constructively the flaws of the ruling party & encourage the best done. Boycott won't prove a thing, if it were the TN house, then without the opposition the ruling party will pass all the necessary bills, be it good or bad for the people, since they are in majority. When Chidambaram does the same with his tax bills, many suffocating the common monetarily, the opposition shouldn't let something like this to happen. Instead of a boycott they shouldn't allow the bill been passed. When they boycott they need not get their pay checks. Why should they when they didn't turn to work???

Performance Clinic

Attended the Performance Clinic by Microsoft, an eye-opener to the performance tuning the .NET & SQL apps. The guys from Microsoft were really great, Ramkumar & Govind.
There was a decent general intro to the performance tuning & it went purely technical indeed, not worthy enough without trying ourselves....
But atleast they said it will be posted on the website tomorrow & the PPTs will be loaded with tons of info.... Phew its nice to work on .NET...

The Silence of the Lambs

One great movie I saw in the recent times. Though hard to believe things to be true, he movie is one real GOLD worth. The explicitness is simple apt for the movie. The storyline involving a psychopath cannibal helping catch another psychopath who is a transvestite is amazing. Also the conversations between Hannibal & Clarice are simply filled with substance like those between Oracle & Neo. A must watch for all those who love psychos & explicitness. ;)

Anniyan

Listened to the tracks of next BIG venture of SHANKAR & did expect a BLAST. This time he has teamed with HARRIS JAYARAJ instead of ARR, but the tracks have failed to ignite me. They are yet again crap like the movie tracks released recently. Dunno whether they would click.
Has he coped with the other aspects of the movie instead of the soundtracks. Another big blunder I could see is SADHA being the protagonist's X ;)

monster v/s naukri

Its been almost 4 years now since I registered with NAUKRI & MONSTER.
Since then I have received many updates from both, but I always thought MONSTER was better than NAUKRI. But last week my friend told me he got an offer from a leading MNC within 2 days of registering with NAUKRI. This provoked me & I re-registered with NAUKRI. On entering the home page I saw a list of IT & non-IT firms listed & those jobs that I didnt manage to find in MONSTER crept in. Just struck me, was it that NAUKRI is much better than MONSTER???
Judgement: I can't DECIDE!!! ;)
Will take more time depending on the response :D
