American Cockroach in Indian bathroom!

The last weekend

Gave the XML Master xam. Satisfied and relieved.
Took the Cadillac DTS to drive to Austin. hit 98mph (for international audience: 1m = 1.6km). But for the traffic would've crossed 100. missed out on that one :(

Boy! I easily remember the first certification exam i had given, SCJP, it wsa a big surprise to me. And an eye opener, these cert guys are not out there to pass on credibility to 'nothingness'.
For this exam i was prepared. Well, not as prepared as a test taker should be, but prepared enough to handle surprises :)

I realised i have lost stamina to give long exams. After just an hour of this exam i was tired and bored enough to give up the last 3-4minutes while i could still have revisited a few of the doubtful questions.

Seems, i'm not in the mood to write more...excuse me folks... ta ta.

my mom

was beginning to prepare masoor dal (ya...i cook masoor too! amazing what a man living alone would do for the paapi pate)...just pondering over how much time it's gonna take for me for the whole 'ordeal'...and i realised that mom made breakfast, lunch and dinner. 99% of the times there was new food in each of those meals (an impossible number when you are away from home!).

Ma, not a day goes by when i can't think of something good you've done for us.

a funny thing

a funny thing happened when we went to watch rdb.
after the movie ended i was waiting outside the theatre waiting for others to come out. They had gone to pay a visit to the 'su su' fairy after the 3 hour movie (he he! i know you Love that word!). And while i was waiting, this 15 something girl came to me and asked "can i dance around you?". lol! wut problem could i possibly have...if it was only a one time! so i said yes...she danced around me a couple of times and then went away.
weird,,, funny,,, made me smile.

don't make no sense to me...

So why keep running after the perfect sense?! there is no such thing as perfect sense...it only comes in bits and pieces...not even like a jigsaw that you could win if you put 'em together. There's always a piece missing ;)
what a funda...wah!

RDB 06

Incidently this is the first Hindi movie i've seen in a picture hall in US.

Rang De Basanti is an good movie. Have i done this before...what?! well given a movie 8/10!

The story, even though, unrealistic in a couple of instances has a lot that can be related to real life. The story line is different, and the caste was well sorted out. If you are in the mood, you'll love the comedy.

The movie has an explicit message for the youth of India. India is your. You have to take charge. Even the style of taking charge is not the best one, the ending justifies the result. So you gotta keep two things in mind - that you should take charge. and not in the most obvious way ;)

Saif's sister is in this one. Nothing special about her.
Rehman's music, as always amazing. 10 on 10.
Roobaroo is the best. Nice lyrics and absolutely contextual.

yippee!

just figured out that my car also has a sliding sun roof! Earlier we though it was just a moon roof...because the button din't seem to work.
But ofcourse! we never tried turning on the ignition before clicking the button ;) he he!

just gotta go to the dealer and get the darn code for the audio player and check if the CD players works good as well!
