random poem time!!! :D
it's been a while since i have been euphoric...
such moments i wish to capture in my mind's click...
life had been going on somber...boring and routine...
the first click happened when she offered me...her hand so pristine...
and there i was on cloud 9...wondering if it's a dream...
the second click happened when we kissed....with mad vigour...i wished to scream...!!
but then life's been an upward journey...
*touchwood*....why is my tummy today so churny...??
the blocks start to fall in place...
i know i have said the same line many times to your face...
but this time it has gone beyond the first steps two...
somehow it fells real...i know it's so true...!!
the problems suddenly seem to dither away...
there's nothing that'll make me from my focus sway...
oh let the madness go on...life...her...and me...
touchwood just doesn't seem enough...let me go hug a pine tree...!!!
;)
yes, i am still talking about my GF....d Ritz :D [link to previous post here]
OMG!
i wish i had her!
i mean...the modified version of d car...
quit drooling over ur keyboard looking at the hot chick...
err...ok ok...it was me who did that.... *blush*
but i wiped d keyboard and kept it in d sun to dry for half hour, ok?
found some pieces of pizza...noodles...and bread sticks in it....in time too...i was hungry!!
:P

~~ time travel ~~
ok, before any of you jump to the conclusion i fear you are going to jump to, this post is NOT inspired by "acction repplay"...but by "Hot Tub Time Machine"...
so, as you should have read the reviews in d links above.....d bollywood take on time travel pretty much sucks...and hollywood wins hands down with it's take on an ever-intriguing concept....
so...that just got my thought wheels churning....
so....WHY are we SO intrigued by time travel?
take a look at a few genuine attempts at making a time machine...and of course, the eventual failure at d same..
and then there are those who cant stop thinking about possibilities for their uses...
and this was just a slow lift.....caught by someone like me, with a good sense of humor... ;)
what? i DO have a good sense of humor ok? :P
so....i fail to understand the need to travel back in time!!
ok...ok...there were times when i wished i could go back and change ONE small thing....ok...maybe two....ummm...now that i think of it....3....no wait...4....5.....6....ahh...d list can go on.... ;)
but, i dont see why one would want to go back in time....future is justified....so u can make profits....ummm...actually,,,,even past can yield profits....
ANYWAY....the point being....
that time travel, as interesting as it might seem, except for some really tragic / life changing stuff, is pretty useless....to travel just for making money, i.e.
cant we dream about our needs....aspirations....hopes....and make them true now?
let's just start dreaming real hard....and working on those even harder...!!
cuz...as far as i know...i aint a scientist to build a time machine....and none that i know have built one...and even if they do, human tendency to be selfish comes in the way of time travel....
so...let's live today....not in yesterday...not for tomorrow....but IN today....FOR today..!!!
p.s. - pls share with me if u make a time machine... ;)
ah....yess....another pointless blog....
Mission FUCKIN' Accomplished! :P

Girl Problems? No Problem!! :D
After AGES of analysis, and neck_breaking research, here are a few, small pointers on how to behave around girls / the girl(s) u r trying to impress....(p.s.: yes, i know u r hitting on multiple girls at the same time :P )
1. You are always wrong. if you make a mistake, obviously you say sorry. if She makes a mistake, she is "already feeling bad about it"...and anything u say to instigate her, will lead to you saying sorry.
2. she is "just perfect". the answer for "am i fat?"
this is a phenomenon which almost never has the right answer...more of an impromptu solution required here..ya know,..that question in the exam, for which no matter how much u have prepared, you will need to think really hard and out of the world(not simply out of the box) to get it right....? yeah. that one.
however, here are a few options you could use -
a) of course not baby! what made you think of it? [result - bug hug]
b) ummm...i dunno....why..? [result - kick in d sack...and possible break-up]
c) weren't you always this fat? [result - rampage. u r dead.]
d) yeah...maybe a little [result - girl problem solved. she will leave you.]
e] yeah you ugly, fat b****...go make me a sandwich! [result - instant death, shotgun headshot. pwnd]
e] yeah you ugly, fat b****...go make me a sandwich! [result - instant death, shotgun headshot. pwnd]
3. how to make the girl laugh -
wow...this one's a toughie....calls for an independent analysis...
Your Joke works -
a) unless your joke is not degrading or sexist.
a)i) If you're not sure, it probably is.
b) your jokes are funny only the first time.
c) it might be funny when you used the chopsticks to make a walrus face on your
first date. now it's just embarassing.
first date. now it's just embarassing.
Also, don't make jokes about her, OR her friends OR her parents OR her neighbour OR her neighbour's stupid lookin Alsatian dog OR her clothes OR her choice in colors OR her xyz...you get the drift. ;)
4. how to treat them right....
now, this is one hell-of-an issue....haven't yet got it right...just trying my best here...
a) pay attention to her....i mean really...don't just nod your head and think about today's football/cricket match
a)i) if you did not pay attention, she is bound to ask you what you feel about what
she said half an hour ago...(and never will ask if you WERE paying attention)
she said half an hour ago...(and never will ask if you WERE paying attention)
ii) if this happens, just say this - i agree with your point of view....after all, you
ARE Perfect! (follow up with a nice smile, and hug / kiss depending on
whether she lets you touch her..)
ARE Perfect! (follow up with a nice smile, and hug / kiss depending on
whether she lets you touch her..)
b) be nice. but please, for the love of god, don't smother.
b)i) God help you if you team up with your friends to make fun of her.
no seriously. better, make it a self-shotgun-headshot. less painful..
no seriously. better, make it a self-shotgun-headshot. less painful..
c) take interest in things she likes.
c)i) this means you have to go shopping.
ii) and enjoy it. no moping!
well, that's as far as our research at team aquaguy has gone....will update you as and when we come up with solutions / studies on more issues related to the female species.
now that that's out of the way, let me take my gf for a spin! :D
oh stop giving me looks you idiots! i m not a fool to go around with a girl....got a different gf...refer previous post :D

what drives you?
a philo post coming your way after a long time....
this post has come to be due to my job requirement, to keep my staff "motivated" and "satisfied" with their work life...
now, for the background, the company has already taken care of the work-personal life balance by keeping the working hours down to 8 hours, instead of the industry norm of 9.5 hours...so that area is shot down...no scope for improvement there...
and also, recently pay structures were revised to bring them at par with market conditions....another option shot down...!!
so what DOES motivate people?
for starters, it is the quality of work they are doing....and their perception of their abilities being explored and optimally utilized...for instance, there was a team member who was talking of leaving the company , in spite of the massive hike in his pay package...reason - he was feeling his skills were not being fully utilized and he was being under-challenged in his current role....solution is still in progress on that front.....while my manager has suggested an advisory / training role for him, i am also exploring the possibility of assigning him a totally different role, and one that really does justice to this CA + CS + CWA Final student.
another team member, was low as she was not able to get an enthusiastic feedback from the location i.e., the client side...no matter how well she performed her activities, or timely she was, there was always a paltry / bland response from the other side....on investigation i found out that the client was dissatisfied, as she always used to communicate on Office Communicator, and rarely called up...and on the rare occasions that she did, client was more than happy to oblige...now while company policy urges to minimize telephonic conversations, this was a rather strange scenario...and i admit, quite silly on the part of the client....so we arranged for a mic and headphones for the team member....voice chat on OC. simple solution. and both are happy now.
so what drives YoU?
for me it is comfortable means of transport....and at my convenience...the main reason why i never take company transport....hate to have that tension on my head of having to go to, and leave from, office, according to the cab timings...
and comfort also ranks high in that....i always take the car to office when it is raining...no matter how light a drizzle...i hate going to office looking like a wet chicken....errr...wet elephant maybe? ok ok...that part is irrelevant...but jokes and me...perpetual combination...old habits die hard, you see... ;) :P
and yes, the next most important aspect.....Respect.
i am totally touched by the amount of respect, trust and admiration the team members have for me...i mean, i always believed that i have average abilities..and am an ok'ish team worker....but simple things like giving priority to helping someone even when i am choked to death in my own stuff...or simply pulling a few strings to get someone i know from another department to come and help someone in their tasks...make them feel liked...make them feel respected...and that respect is reciprocated....
i have always believed and advocated...give respect, and you will get it back manifold more...and this scenario applies to all people and situations...i am sure, there will be only 1 in a million, who will not reciprocate respectful and benevolent behavior...
but am still in the process of learning...
so, my dear readers....

da nu company....
Ah Yes...finally a post about the new job...
and let me start with a few adjectives...
wonderful...interesting....fun...and more fun..!!! ;)
Maersk Global Service Centres is a wonderful place to work in...
key highlights being -
- awesome boss *wink*
- kewl team members, who literally hold on to each word i say as their TL... *wink wink*
- ummm...."interesting" co-workers....*triple wink* :D
but on a more serious note, it is really a test of my patience....due to some "characters"...
1.an aunty jee, who always wants to talk to me about the "transport problems", at the slightest hint of me having free time or looking in her direction. :-|
2.a team member who can rant on about how she is "over-burdened, and there is no backup for my tasks, and there is simply too much work....and there is no one who can help with my tasks...and the workload is sreally a bit too un-manageable... " (note the repetition of the same issue in diff.manners....for my vocabulary-challenged readers... :P
3. very pesky little problems coming to me, which i tried with all the patience granted by god to me, to solve, in the initial days, but now am simply trying to ignore people who are known to come up with such ones...
enough about my job now, right?
so here, let me awe you with some stats about the company... ;) :D
here is their biggest ship....how big? ummm...try 6 football fields....or about the size of 2 small US aircraft carriers...ummm...big enough to carry a boeing inside it....and a 747-500 mind you.... ;)
and yes, a crew of 13. welcome to unrealistic levels of automation.. :)
notice the building-y thing in the middle? it's 15 stories high.
go figure the rest of the physics of this ginormous mammoth!! ;)
and well, they have only about 550 ships...and they are ONLY the biggest shipping company on the blue planet....a.k.a. earth....and their annual budget equals that of umm....say.....9 african countries....or about 2 american ones.... ;)
of course, these are estimates....
this dutch company is so diversified and wide, that it is not possible to put it into concrete figures...or estimates too.... :)
well, i hope i get paid something like 1% of their turnover.....maybe i will be satisfied then.....
just MAYBE..... :P

Saw Rajniti finally, on Saturday night with two other ppl who had been spared the torture yet, and were eager to undergo some penance for their sins...
here are a few observations in the movie -
1. Either the guys were super-fertile...or the gals were from Species (remember? - "i can feel life") - do it one time, and they're preggy. :-|
2. If so many lives were taken in each election, i vouch for more elections...monthly elections even....population control method :D
3. All d guys were trying to kiss Ranbir Kapoor...seriously....the display of macho lowe was too much....but only his Dad managed to do so, @ d Airport...and then died. :-|
4. Nana Patekar must've paid a helluva amount in the production....he's not holding any post...he's simply an advisor...still everywhere, he is seen sitting on a chair higher than everyone else....wtf was he doing?? :P
5. Ajay Devgan was having either the loosies or piles while shooting for his first kabaddi scene....i mean...he was walking WIERDLY. and walking...not running or jumping.... :O u have to see it to understand what i m saying... :P
6. Ranbir Kapoor has consistently lost weight through the movie... :O
7. Kat's character is d stupidest in the movie..(mind you, also d hottest nevertheless)...and i simply can't fathom being a football, jo kick maare, us direction me chali gayi...way to go, for a Chief Minister i'd say :-|
8. WHY did they kill d hot firang chick? :( dayyam :(
9. When the car blasts apart, killing Arjun Rampal and Sarah Thompson, the whole bloody Merc is in chars, but the bodies of Arjun and Sarah are intact....save for a few burn marks... :O
10. Arjun Rampal can ACT. kudos to his performance.... :)
well, that and a few other things...but this is enough for now...

what happens when the moon changes a phase?
it might be a full moon or new moon..
so,today's topic is a bit eerie...and interesting....lunacy...
came to me, cuz today is a full moon...and was witness to a really wierd incident...
so, what exactly is lunacy?
the state where the mind is affected by the cycles of the moon...or simply people that are affected by the moon.
some instances of lunacy can be seen on the roads...yes, Road Rage increases during these phases...people who normally drive carefully, will start driving like maniacs in off road rallies (though one could argue that Indian roads ARE somewhat like participating in a cross-country, given their condition :P )
also, there will be people who get splitting , inexplicable headaches during full / new moon..
so, what is this phenomena actually?
some say that it is a psychological thing, where we have been told for years that the lunar cycles have an effect on humans..and their behaviour...and hence we sub-consciously, tend to make the same mistakes...tend to act wierdly...or simply conk off in some extreme cases.... ;)
i mean, i have really seen people act wierdly...and that's not just a few scattered incidents...but consistently...
i wasn't a beleiver in this , until my grandpa, a renowned homeopathic Doctor, gave me some medicines to be taken "just before you sleep, for three days after the full moon"
now, before u jump to conclusions, the medicines were not given as a cure for my "pj"s or any of d idioticities i keep indulging in... ;) :P
i was intrigued, and asked for an explanation...
according to him, just like the gravitational pull of the moon causes tides, apparently our "lighter" bodies during a full moon, tend to respond to medication faster and better during the full moon...
but hey, isn't it just the reflection of sun rays from the moon surface that causes the lunar phases?
well, the "white light " emanating from the lunar surface, has some sort of healing effect on human bodies....just like in some cases of vitamin deficiencies, people are told to soak in the early morning sun... ( can't remember which vitamin for the life of me :P )
and i was like...."hmmmmm"...for over an hour... :P
and then , there are those who don't beleive in this "crap"...
but then , i'd say...believe people....BELIEVE!
cuz...after all...aren't a lot of our lives based on faith?

~ dell inspiron mini 10 ~
having ordered d latesht dell net-book...i am again confronted by red tapism and procedural anomalies :(
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after a long bout of deliberations with dad, and discussions with mom, i finally convinced them that it was high time i replaced the 8 year old, aged, desktop and laptop combo....alongwith the wires attached to the set that gives mom nightmares.... literally....followed by my own myriad investigations and researches....(the former took all of 4 minutes, 30 seconds.....the latter though, took me at least 3 weeks!!)...i decided upon the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 1012 net-book.
now, while my dear friend in d US was trying to convince me not to spend more than 15k on a net-book, as it -
1.does not have a disk drive ;
2. has limited functionality ;
3. has a very small and low-res screen ;
4. etc etc :P
i had my own answers....
1.disk drive? who uses those on laptops these days? i know i don't. :P
2. limited functionality - welcome to 2 gig RAM, 1.8 Mhz processor, 320 gig HD. toss in a graphics processor, HD screen and HDMI. doubts anyone?
3. actually i answered that in no.2 already...but wat d heck....HD screen...1366 x 768 DPI....again....any questions? :P
4. wo tere paas hi rehne de techno babble :P
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and then, i made the biggest mistake of my life...(ok of the year....month....err...week?? seriously....difficult to keep track of mistakes :P )... here's what happened -
me : dad, m going to order the Dell Inspiron Mini 10 1012 net-book.
dad : are you sure it's the right one? have you looked through the market? how much is it going to cost? is Dell a reliable company? how many years do you forecast this new computer will last? .... O.o.....o.O....X(...:-SS...:-o etc etc.
me : yes to all the above dad! *bright beaming face trying to hide all d anger+irritation* (thinking that i should suggest dad join crime investigation....wait...would that get my net book faster to me? :P )
dad : ok fine. i will ask our dealer and see if it's available.
me : errr...actually , i got enough savings...i wanna buy it on my own.
dad : your younger generation doesnt know the value of savings....how much money do you have? *calls up investment advisor* haan...Mr.Investment Advisor....we have to invest *to me - kitne paise hai?* yeah....some 20 thousand in XYZ investments...
me : dino crap. t-rex crap even. (in my mind of course)
dad : yes, now that that's settled, i will tell our supplier to get that comp.
damn! damn! damn!
Why did i not just go and buy the net-book? :(
WHY! WHY! oh WHY!! :(
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after 2 weeks of "discussions" with his supplier that would give us a "discount" on the purchase....
dad : we're getting the net-book at Rs. 21780!! ha! and you were getting it for Rs.22300! see how i save!
me : err....dad....does that include delivery charges?
dad : *war dialling supplier* eh! who'll tell me bout d delivery charges? you suppliers are one lot of thieves!! *etc...etc....*
me: *glee full look* so, i should order it online finally?
dad : yes.. yes... go ahead.
me : *trying real hard to not start laughing.... or dancing for that matter...* well....i had told you dad...anyway...i will bear with the delay now....by the way can i order a bluetooth mouse alongwith it?
dad : whatever you feel right.
me : victory!!!! :P
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 week later -
status on dell website - order received ==> manufacturing build complete
ETA - one week from now.
me : @#$@$@#$@%#%^ corporate procedures. if i had had it assembled by my local supplier it would've come in 3 days! oh wait....dad DID suggest that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AND life craps right back in your face.. :-|

!!!beautiful clouds!!!
clouds come-a-calling...
lightening and thunder rolling...
now comes the heavy rain...
to take away all of summer's pain...
with joy the heart leaps and happily dances...
towards the sky, on each step, the mind gleefully glances...
birds suddenly get into a frenzied hurry...to clear the branches of their homes...
a young fowl...confused with all the sudden flurry...alone on the streets roams...
crash! boom!! the clouds bring down their weight..
the raindrops dance and splash...in a heavenly gait..
youngsters laugh , dance and enjoy...
the grey haired simply smile...and sigh...
and there, in the midst of all this...
your humble aquaguy finds bliss...!!

...iPhone...to be or not to be...
Let's start from the very beginning....
i was introduced to the concept of Apple around the beginning of this decade...yes, i did not know Mac et all...
i had seen an apple store somewhere near Pune Station...and was totally impressed with the glam look...the beautiful products....and was wondering....what makes them special??
10 years down, after endless reviews being read, technical magazines surveyed, all online crap read....and i m still asking the same question. :-|
i mean....wtf is wrong with so many people?????? :O
and sadly, one of my close friends is such a person....he's what i like to call an "apple-shaker"....no, he doesn't groove to apple's iTunes (R).....rather, apple makes him shake...and break....
yeah break....cuz d poor guy is So torn right now, that i simply can't express enough sympathy....and simply cannot fathom what it would take to empathize with him... ;)
well, it all started with d iPhone....a phone, multimedia device, and an ipod, all together!! woo-hoo!
suck my grandma's dog's @$$ idiots. :-|
this, when we already had awesome products in the market...Sony Ericsson were already hitting it big time with their walkman phones, and nokia (the mass seller in India), was almost warming up to consumer needs, and believe it or not, changing according to it!!
so what made the iPhone a game-changer then? the touch screen.
and of course, in my personal opinion, touch screens are a bag o dino crap. i mean...nothin does it like physical keys....i prefer something like this >>
cuz...well...that's what i can afford for now :P
anyway, back to the topic on hand...
then came other touch screen phones, loads of music phones, and of course, the mobile phone camera wars...what, with some companies even going to the extent of 12 mp cameras...i mean....really? :O
but recently, when the iPhone finally, officially came to India, it came at a time, when the iPhone 3gs was already launched in the Americas...which reminds me of a funny incident...
we were at a party, where one of my friends introduced her amriki fiance-to-be to us...and suddenly the lights went off...i promptly took out my phone, and switched on the torch at the back...and d amriki dude was like....which phone is that? we dont get such phones in d US...only d stupid iPhones are good enough...!!
and i was lol'ing...and roflmao'ing....of course, all in my mind... :P
anyway, so there...i got evidence from an iPhone user, that they are only using them for lack of better options...
but i m sure this guy was totally misinformed....and ignorant....cuz there ARE a ZILLION other options!!!
and here i wanna publish my current favorite image >>
see the android tattoo? :D
oh crap.....not dis one....who put d pic of d GF in me comp :-|
i actually meant this one >>
oh yeah!!!
since the beginning, Google has impressed me...and always given us more and more innovations...(although i wouldn't say that about Google Maps ...cuz according to it, u are required to swim across the atlantic for going to Paris from the US East Coast :P )
but believe me, the Android system is.....ah...i won't go into that...that will be a separate post...right now we are on apple-shakin' ;)
so, yeah...once the iPhone 3gs DID come to India, within a month, Mr.Jobbs decided to launch iPhone 4. :-|
and now my friend is again caught in the age long debate....to buy or not to buy.. :-|
well,i'd say, go out, buy the latest android phone, cuz as it is, android phones are providing better facilities, ugrades, and with the given variety of manufacturers using this platform, we are sure, you will find the one that suits you...
but still some fools will line up for the iPhone...
and the question comes back to me....what makes the phones special??
and i conclude...the people who buy them are special...they need our love and support...and care...
cuz u gotta be really demented to buy an apple product people!!!
are you reading this???
DON'T BUY iPHONES...they suck!
*whew*
now that that's outta my system...i shall go and buy a nice new android....or at least ogle at one... ;)
and here's some oglin' stuff for ya'll mortals to worship>>
HTC Centurion (a work in progress....hopefully should hit markets by Q4)

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
