Diary Archives - Sept 2009

1st September, 2009
Bangalore, RT Nagar

I lost my company laptop sometime back :). And all my diary entries (they were very few actually) are gone. My fate with regard to the laptop is still undecided as to whether I will have to pay the cost. Considering Pari’s (CEO) reaction till now, I feel relieved as there isn't any indication of him asking me to pay. I hope this stays for good.

Lots of happenings since I wrote my last diary entry. We went for convocation to IIT and was the best time I had in past sometime. In Anshuman’s words, after graduating we went to jobs in different cities, accepted our fate and started surviving with some different definition of fun. We were all very happy in our own small worlds. But only after going back to IIT we realized that there we were staring at only one variable in the complete formula !!

Office, Zinnov

We converted the office into a play-station where 10 of the total 40 employees of Zinnov were playing CounterStrike. We played for some three hours after which we decided that we will go back to ghar and will have a booze session. It went on till late night and then I slept off as my head was achign severely. The other three, Prasoon, Guptaji and Chuchu again started the CS session soon after the drinking session was over. They kept playing till 6 in the morning.

PS: Just realized I need to edit out most of my writing. One tries to remain goody goody in real life, but diary life is different. You feel hatred, experience inconsistent behaviour, love, like, dislike and have opinions on A to Z. Best - tear apart people and their conduct.

May be posting archives isn't that great an idea!

PPS: Have come across increased activity of some of my close family members on web. Unfortunately we are no seedhe saadhe bacche anymore.

The Good Life - Baba Amte

Gandhi called him 'abhay sadhak'-- a fearless seeker of truth and his mission to win a life of dignity for victims of leprosy went against the very grain of society which treated the leprosy-afflicted as untouchable outcastes.

This was my comment on the article. Read the article to understand the context.

The story of Baba Amte has been truly inspiring for any generation. People like him are source of constant inspiration and pride, for any Indian, across the generations. His passing away is a great loss to us, but the thing that has hurt me the most is that its only when he has passed away he is there in the news. For all this time where was the media sleeping in bringing out his social contribution. Its a matter of great anguish that our generation is deprived by the deeds of such men. I am an avid book reader who has seen numerous biographies on god-knows-who leaders of across the world lying in biggest of the book stores. Unfortunately I have never seen one on him. Doesn't TV and print media has to play a more proactive role in inspiring the new generation with more books and documentaries on such people. I am sure with such works will not only inspire the youth generation but can create a social change which is imminently required in India.

Another Day. Another Movie.

Fabulous Watch. Love the way different characters are etched out.

PS: Posting small post is much more convenient. Pics with few lines, even more.
