Week-End-Happenings . . .

Normal days for a gladiator. Things are very normal and plain dreams. Last weekend was horrible as i caught fever and throat infection. There were few buiscuites in the break-out area of the office. I had a total of 12 of them and orderd a top-remen [one kind of food thats made up of noodles]. Thats it, i was impacted by the throat infection and 110 degrees fever. That was the first time i felt shivering being an adult. I never felt shivering when was feverish. Well keep it aside and let me jot down the things which i felt were important during this weekend.

Went to search for a single KBH [Kitchen + Bedroom + Hall] near to my office. The costs were too high. Being a tenant, i am angry that they are asking for more even with small small houses. But coudn't do much in search as its not a yahoo's search or some other search engines well organized data. So saw a total of 4 houses and out of them 3 were rejected at the first sight. One thing i liked but very small. The rent for that is more. But its very near to the office that i can even walk during the evening.

Then went to a place where i was supposed to go. It was a great place to be in and sit. Lot of
geniuses come there to explore their knowledge. I was there for a message and after that went to one of my friend's place. For my bad luck, there was a heavy rain-fall after reaching their house. The house was very old and the floor of the house was much below the road level. So because of the heavy rain-fall, water started overflowing in the backyard and it started coming into the house
and filled the complete floor with 2 inches of height. Being feverish, i couldn't ran anywhere and sat on a bike in a wall shadow. After 2 hrs power came and every body saw that the water level in the floor was more. Actually there was a volve they have to close, since no one was aware of where that volve was located, they invited water inside. Finally they called to the owner and with the help of owner's sons they manually started filling water into buckets and throwing them out. Almost every body did hardwork for one hour. But nobody was feeling to stay in the house. The water was drainage water, so it was smelling bad. So every body took their belongings and ran to friends places. Even i went to one of my friends place from there. No way what to do :|.

Next day i went back with them to thier place. One of my friend is going to germany. So he started searching for the docs and certs. Luckily some one saved them else they could have been destroyed by the water. He was happy and checked every thing. I was just watching. I felt little for a while like "Why no chance" for me ?. Every one on this earth is getting a chance to go out of india and they show up things infront of me. But no one is giving chance to me. Don't know why. But i am happy and i bellieve that i will be putting my leg in other continents soon. Lets see what happens.

Back to life :)

I am back to work after the marriage vacation [not mine but one of my friends]. I was expecting a credit card from localbank [the one which had taken almost 4 weeks to grant the card. [I applied for another new UK based bank for the CC parelly and got the card too]. These people called me more than 2 times for the confirmation and finally not able to deliver the card on time. I got irritated, called the courier guys and finally caught them on phone after 2 hours of struggling. No one receives calls, [customer care people of first flight are really sleeping. 9AM -> no response 10 AM -> no response, 11AM -> able to reach security 12:25 -> caught manager online.

They said that the C was sent twice and failed to dispatch. It is right now with one of the agents. Probably i will be getting it soon today. Else, they will the red in my eyes. Don't understand, but i am loosing my interest and patience on few things. Silly things taking more time, some times i am feeling like the whole world is sleeping. I could have been born in a different country probably japan, but no luck, couldn't do any. If my company opens a branch there in, i will be the first person to go, even to a desert also :|. Nothings moves fast as expected except my mind. To get relief from the pressure i am playing foos 1-2 hrs a day :))

Reason behind Tea/Papad after food . . .

I see many people becoming agaped when they notice others drinking tea after lunch or dinner. The culture is actually from Chinese. Do we really know why Chinese restaurants offer tea after the food ? I hope not that you know the true reason behind it. Believe me there is a good reason for the their offering of tea after food.

The kind of food that we eat contains lots of oily stuff and it get stick to the throat. It not water like material so it would stick to the chambers of the throat and remains there for more time. It would not get abrasive even if we take water after the food. The only way to get the stuff away and keep the throat and other pipes clean in the body is by drinking hot water. Drinking hot water is one of the good principles in meditation. So if you take raw tea [with out milk] after the food, it acts as a cleansing solution for the stuff that could have got stuck in the pipes in your body. So the reason why Chinese offer tea after lunch/dinner or food.

This reminds me another reason why people from india especially from south india eat papad during their lunch. The reason is almost similar to what i have explained in gist above. Usually papads would be offered mostly in functions. The reason behind is that food offered in those functions is full of oil and other colestral. After eating such items, oesophagus contains many invisible tissues made up of oil. So if you take a papad, it squeezes the dust and cleans and frees the oesophagus path. This was the reason why it was invented thousands years before, Now a days we see really very less people aware of this crystal clear truth.

I like the snap above shoted at Chinese meridian near to the office :)

Friends are conducive . . .

This is not my only feeling, i have been observing it helps ! believe me it really helps when you are trying to do some thing very new and risky. It might look funny in some to think to have friends in different areas with different ages, but it makes sense to have them. For example there is nothing wrong if you have a friend who is of your father's age. Absolutely nothing wrong, your father is a friend of you... so another person of his age can be friend of yours.

There is nothing i am going to put it in a compendium over here in this blog post, but want to acclaim that its good to have friends of all kinds. This post is about a person who i met last year and been in touch with him. He is a good solicitor. Has been working so diligently abroad and in a good position at present. :)

The Case of a Dumb Email Forward

I got a mail forward from a friend saying "That happens only in bangalore !!!" as the subject line. I usually don't believe in such mail forwards. There are several such forwards we see/get from the friends in our daily life.

This happens only if the people are using the mail just for the forwards with out thinking for a while. If they know the actual reason for the snap, which i was talking about, they have to agree with me for the abnegation.
Here i am giving the mail content from the forward:
"Technology on street..
A techie transfers fund for a penalty from his laptop near Trinity Circle in Bangalore on Tuesday....
"

Forwarding such a mail is not a problem, sending blindly to create such an impression about the public services is a issue. So i finally found the actual reason for this on knowledge base[net]. I am not sure even this is the root cause for this photo or not, but since its a public site, i can trust site than the mail. See this link, it would reveal the actual reason of this snap...

Procastination is the cause of all the problems . . .

I don't know whether you people have faced this or not. But i faced a situation with this concept in life. Things are going fine and every thing seems to be in control. I am a fan of delaying the things to tomarrow when it comes to shopping or purchasing some thing. The thing is that i won't give much preference to do this immediately. This started happening after i left the college. Belive me i am the first person used to put leg in college out of all the people.[used to stay near to the college campus where all the rest used to stay in the city almost 20K from the college.] So what ever it is, the moment you think you can do it, doing it immediately is better than delaying it to tomarrow. Ofcourse there are few exceptions, where delaying things might help in making a good and better decision. So it is up to us to decide and act so that the plan will be crystalized and stop the aberrant mind fluctuations...

We can search Flickr images with yahoo search now !

This is so cool that this takes care of searching for the images with the given attributes and renders the list of the returned list :). Same thing can be done even with google too, but i am not very sure whether google does indexing of the flickr images...

Any way the things are becoming clear and no need to remember hell lot of site names to search for a desired one...
