Tooth Biryani

I always thought that  there are a few ways in which one can die when he flies and none of those risks could be avertible...But this came as a shocker!!

Malad-resident Brijesh Lohia;- it seems;- had reason to be angry: he had allegedly found a tooth implant in the food

I am sure it is not long before you would find a whole denture in the food served. It is appalling to see that the national carrier standards have gone down to new low. Now there are more reasons to avoid eating during the flight apart from the poor taste of the served stuff.

Silence

I have been silent on this blog for some time now. I have been going through a lot of pressure & questions in my mind in the past few days which have kept me busy...Apart from the Never ending German classes.
I have also invested some time in continuing my reading of Micheal Chricton's "Travels". However, my success in finishing about 30 pages can be largely attributed to the time i spent reading some pages while i spent time on the toilet seat every morning during the past one week. Also, I have invested money in the markets to some time was spent in reading where to invest and into what should i invest. And finally gave up deciding that whatever i do....I love south and so do my investments. No wonder my profits always look southwards oblivious of the market trend...

Of late... I have been trying hard to build a cross-platform GUI + Database based software completely in C. Yeah i know!! I sound like a freak...but i wanted to just see how much of C i still can manage after doing about 10 months of "Model based Development". I think i will soon giving up and switching to python, which is not only faster,simpler and cleaner...but also newer to me ensuring that there the ever drooping learning curve gets some positive slope!!. I have something like a good gui in "C" using GTK ....so it is not really too much of aproblem to port it to Python i trust.

And Before i forget....I had been on a team building excursion with my team....It was nice fun with a lot of take home. I always thought i had the right ingredients to make a good leader...but apparently not!!.....I am sure a lot of those who are reading this would just shrug off saying...We always knew that!!....But yes, i gather that there are a few things that i suck at and i should fix those before i can even imagine of taking some responsibility.....

Finally, hairfall has been always my friend....And i think a point of time has come when i should take a decision if i should go completely bald on my own or let nature do this job...However, I have decided to just hang on and continue for a while..

Now that i have found some time and some hope that i might be able to procure a netbook soon, I shall try to write more....

Deepavali Wishlist

Deepavali the festival of lights is here. It is a great to have a few days of fun and celebration. ( eating of sweets and meeting of friends) . The festival marks perishing of Darkness by light. While all this is great there a few things that irritate the hell outta me during these days!! ( Yeah!!, i know i always complain) So i have put down my 3 point wishlist for Deepavali.....Gods can you grant even one?

• Time It: Bursting crackers is perhaps the only way kids and a whole bunch of adults identify Deepavali. I have a problem that people are free to burst crackers anytime during the Deepavali days. I was harshly woken up today when a neighbour of mine who never wakes up until the sun warms up his butt.....woke up early just to light a loud-sounding cracker and go back to sleep after ensuring that mine was destroyed!!...Why cant we have timings for bursting crackers? This would not only ensure that the pollution window is restricted but also ensure that there are no annoying moments for Elders, Infants etc.
• Place It: Malleshwaram is a zero garbage area. So i see BBMP workers cleaning the roads all the time. It pains me to see that while at one end folks are doing the backbreaking work of cleaning the streets of the mess created by crackers on the other end folks are dirtying the roads again. Why cannot we use large open grounds to burst our crackers. In densely packed localities bursting of crackers is not only a health hazard but also significantly increases the probability of fire mishaps and accidents on the roads when drivers try to avoid the crackers!!. Go out to grounds and celebrate...this way you can see lot more variety of crackers...enjoy the lighting too and ensure that the pollutions is localized. Also it is easier to provide first aid and medication in case there are any mishaps....BBMP can organize this the same way they organize immersion of Idols during Ganesh Chaturthi or Durga Pooja ....Alas who cares?
• Control It : While bursting of crackers cannot be avoided and should not be totally irradiated because that would mean pushing a big part our community to Unemployment. However, the crackers should be made safer, cleaner and better. This means that we should have proper controlling authorities who monitor the quality, monitor the cost and safety issues at the manufacturing areas. 

I have seen the crackers that are used in Germany, when i happened to be there during the Silvester ( New Year) a couple of years back. These things look much better, safer and you really can be sure that you can use them without risking yourself too much.

So Let the festival of lamps bring a lot of light into your homes too....Enjoy Maadi

When Roles reversed

Roles reversed.....ain't that cool

Drunk poll officer, vigilant citizen and a unique trial

I salute this vigilant citizen...who chose to risk his life and in the end just let the man go with a real lesson for life....However, on the hindsight i feel a couple of tight slaps would have still gone a long way...(Dandam Dashagunam Bhaveth).

The Ig Nobel award goes to

I should share this....coz i really loved it...the Ig Nobel awards for 2009

Dr Elena Bodnar won for her bra that converts into a pair of gas masks — one for the wearer, the other for a friend.

I am sure a few of our dudes would love some gas leaks of sets of bollywood....especially when Rakhi sawant or Mallika Sherawat is around...In the hope to get a chance to be shaved by them ( when they lent their br...er.. gas-masks!!).
