My Tarrot card

You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

An ode to Lena

0 dear Lena, your beauty is so vast
It is hard sometimes to describe it fast.
I thought the entire world I would impress
If only your portrait I could compress.
Alas! First when I tried to use VQ
I found that your cheeks belong to only you.
Your silky hair contains a thousand lines
Hard to match with sums of discrete cosines.
And for your lips, sensual and tactual
Thirteen Crays found not the proper fractal.
And while these setbacks are all quite severe
I might have fixed them with hacks here or there
But when wavelets took sparkle from your eyes
I said, "Skip this stuff. I'll just digitize."

My father's dream home

This is the story how my father built the house. The peice of land was bougth some 25 years ago for 18,000 rupees. After moving here and there my father finally decided to build the house 2 years back. For building we need house loan and we applied to bank.

The normal process of 2 months took four months for verification and sanctioning of loan. You may why ? well my salary slip for each month was given in handwriting form not a computer print out. Many question were asked one such question was how the company is MNC when they are given the salary clip is in hand written form even a government employee gets a computer print out. The reply to the query " it the company policy ".

So after four months loan got sanctioned. But the problem is money will not given unless we put the foundation. But there is no money for foundation so i tool a personal loan. By the time the loan got sanction and fundation was laid the housing loan experienced. Now again i reapplied but since i am paying for the personal loan the housing loan amount got reduced, more over original the housing loan was having a intrest rate for 7.5 % fixed now it got changed to 10 % floating.

My father decide to sell the house in which we own and use the money to build the house. Now the fun part starts as soon we started to build the house the nearby land owner started to make trouble, he claimed three feet land from our plot. He even tried to stop the building construction. My father still continued building and now a civil case was put in the court, so now the boundary wall not built and construction continued.

Since we have already sold our previouse house we has three months to complete the house but only ground floor was built with the money we had. any way we moved to the newly built house.

Just before the house warming session there was heavy rain the house became an island surrounded by water. After house warming session was completed and now we have to shift the household items, no commercial vehicle will come to that place fearing the vehicle will ge stuck in mud so we used bullock cart to shift material.

Now added to this the TV got broke down, washing machine stopped working, the current supply was temporary and the best part is i was not even able to park my bike.
I had to park the bike in the old house so even morning and evening i had to walk 15 minutes to get and park my bike.

There was huge drain of money in my bank account it fell to 300 rs. My computer also stopped working and it has been given to service. No body is willing to service our tv, it is 15 years model. After one month now we have a huge door infront our house.

Now father is trying to get the loan for first floor but the approval is going to get expire so that has to be renewed. But the building was not built as per plan so we have to pay some fine inorder to get approval to build the first floor.

That was a small narrative of my father successfully building a house.

High ride on nostalgia

Yesterday i went to my very old friend. It is after 7 seven years Iam meeting her again. She has a kid now.

My friendship as usual last not more than a year during my school days. I changed school in 12th standard. She was in different section and we meet during hindi class. I soon started talking with her and all her colleagues and they were kind of hesitant to talk with me initially but after some time it became alright.

After my 12th i left for studies and i lost all the contacts. After so many year i saw her again and she failed to recognize me but it happens as usual when u meet some one after long time. Now she is happily married. She still maintains the friendship with her classmate. May be i should have tried to make contact with them during the past few years.

Emotion

"Emotion" the word which i do not understand. I have never able to over come the difficulty in speaking what comes in mind. When i want to speak, words with utmost sincerity, the lips do not move.

Simple chit chat is different from strong feelings. In a way, even if do speak, it is quiet blunt, straight on the face. I can watch the sickest movie but not a movie filled with lot of emotional dialogue. I shy away, look here and there , or simple just remove my spectacles( one the best use i make out of my spectacles ).

Socialization another big thing which i am really mediocre. This is how i am, i do not how other see me .. Some consider me adamant and some arrogant (insider news).

[Fwd: Joy of thousand kisses :)] by madanmohan

Before starting, I whole-heartely thank Rahul and Deepak of VLSI team, digibee microsystems, without them this mail carries no weight. Rahul is from Kerala, is one of our collegue in Digibee. Got a big mustache, like most of the malu guys and a beautiful smile(If I was a girl I would have described more he~he~). Throughout the trip, things were well organised and smartly planned, his brilliance lied in the fact that no one would have felt that he is organising the trip. But all the work was done in the back ground. Deepak, the gigantic figure in digibee. I always have wondered, how he possesses so much knowledge in many fields ranging from Sakura, cherry blossoms, which happens in Japan to Share trading. And a member of a social welfare organisation called "DIYA". He is not only big by looks, he is even bigger than his looks:-).

Welcome you all to munnar trip.
Left our office at 3pm for 4:15pm train to Ernakulam. As usual my team-mate office late comer, Dinesh was late to the station too :-) . Totally 27 were there in the trip apart from Digibee friends, friends of Barani, Athreya and brother of Dhanasekaran joined us. I don't know if its a tradition of all the college and others trips start with Anthakshari, we did with the same. And there will be a funny entertainer for a trip, he was none other than Mr.Balaiya(Karthik Balan). He had been the biggest comedian thoroughout the trip, his character was quite similiar to Tamil movie comedian Vadivelu. He was the total source of all our entertainment throughout the trip. Another interesting fellow is our Thopi kumaru, who falls into his own trap. ok, I will tell you one Thopi kumaru marked jokes. Four of my collegues were walking down the lane, near cochin harbour and Thopi kumar was walking in the front. A smart and fair guy approached Thopi kumar and said "Hello sir, I am from Tata indicom" and he continued... Thopi kumar interrupted him suddenly and said "Sorry sir, I dont know malyalam". lol. There's a DVD player joke of his too. ;)

When we reached Ernakulam it was 3pm approximately, there was rain to welcome us. I never been to kerala, it was my first time. There was a chill air around and just out side the station there was beautiful huge tree, i guess its a baniyan tree, which was really huge. All our eyes were rolling around to find elimpse of beautiful mallu girls. We found one in station booking counter... he he.. cute face.. :) I knew, we all are going to have a great time in beautiful kerala.. :-) A bus was already arranged for us by Rahul, which is gonna take us to all the places in Munnar for the next two days. It was early morning around 5am, I could barely see the houses and trees outside with street lights. Each and every house had so much trees and plants around, unlike my chennai city. They are generous to give space to nature and take 25% for them in their land. They love nature and conserve them. I found even some compound walls had some plants growing over them. Roughly around 6:45am I was able to get a clear picture of the beautiful world, it was green, green and green everywhere. Just couldn't see any other colour. My love towards green took a peak. Most attractive part about Munnar, which is still in my eyes is the foot stairs that i found in houses. Foot stairs were grey in colour, covered with a very very thin layer of green plants growing over them. The blend of grey and green was so attractive, it gave an aritistic look infront of many houses and churches.



Around 8am in the morning the bus stopped and we saw a waterfall. It was beautiful to look at and felt that it can be even lovely to feel them. I wanted to play in that, and I had no concerns to about my tshirt and pant getting wet, well anyway its good to take a bath early morning he~he~. I called up my friend Barani and asked him whether he likes to play in the waterfall too. He loved too. We both climbed up some rocks, slowly moved near the water fall, took our hands forward and collected water in our hands. Then we slowly moved forward and in few seconds all our clothes got completely wet. It was funny and crazy. Later some of my other colleagues joined too Rahul, Deepak, Karthik Mohan, Murali, Thopi kumar, Balaiya, Aravind, Adithiya, Vinoth kumar and Ayyapa. Then we all came down and took some snaps. I wanted some more play in the waterfall again so I called up my buddy again. Asked him for once more. Again we went, played in the falls and at a point we both started shevering, i loved shevering too :-) . Because I know it's very rare feeling, which wont happen in Chennai. We moved down and some more photo sessions was happening. We had to stay in the same wet cloth for another 3 hours, till we reached our room in Munnar.



Rahul on the Right extreme... Special thanks to you dude. :-)

We found many waterfalls and water flowing over through the rocks. Amazing site to watch, with beautiful mountain top covered with tea estates. Fog kissing the mountain tops. There wasn't a patch of soil, which is visible, because there will some plant covering it up. The newly grown leaves gave the most attractive light green. And the rain gives a pure look by washing it up daily, finishing touch given by The Master himself.




The Green Lake



In the Bus, Balaiya and Barani started dancing. We had a good music system in the bus, which gave more fun. Both Balaiya and Barani are excellent natural dancers, full of expressions and good singers too. I always wanted to dance but i never did cause I thought that I would look stupid if i do my stupid steps. I had the chance to knock my fever and shyness down and go crazy. I stood infront of Balaiya, I was damn nervous to be there, then i did wat ever steps Balaiya and Barani were doing. I learned a lot from them, their beautiful expressions, liveliness. Everything in them touched me. Day 1 dancing was imitating them. Day 2, I started creating my own funny steps, since there was no girls in the bus we should pair up with other guys and dance for duet songs. We pulled almost everyone to dance, though many resisted at the start, become lively and started joining their own dance. Most our time in the bus went in dancing and shouting at the buses crossing us( if the bus crossing had some girls in it our decibels will increase further more ha ha ha). Athreya was capturing video throughout the trip while deepak, Karthik, Ravi kiran, Rahul were capturing pictures. All their work had helped to capture our happiness in a digital form, which would stay forever with our pleasant memories of them.

Blend of Organic and Digital memory he~he~............



Begging for Wat? he~he~


Return


Throughout the trip, we got a company of a humble lover, who is the soul reason for the beautiful Munnar. Her touch was so gentle, like a feather touching my body. In Munnar, she takes a pleasant form, she wont pour heavily on u. But she will have a constant drizzle, which is gentle and giving you the joy of thousand kisses. :-)))) If she pours heavily, dont mistake, she is happy meeting you and thats her way of hugging you. he~he~

Rain Rain, come again...

Jillendru oru Kadhal

After a long time I am blogging, well that is the original essence
of blogging, it is a personal diary, make entry when u like. Last week
i went to the film "Jillendru oru Kadhal" or "Sillunu oru kathal". That
film brought back lot of memory of college days. It as if i was back
in college along with my friends and the dialogs were coming out my
friends mouth while some visuals completely arrested my movement. The
movie start with a good tempo but pace slows down at the ends. There
were logical let down but overall the movie gets a rating of 3/5 ,
rather it will be enjoyed by people who had had a romantic time in the
college. I do not know why vadivel was brought inside that character is
totally useless.
well the best and worst thing it made feel that i have wasted most
of my college days. Either it should be good in studies or be good in
other activities but i was neither. No matter what i cannot bring those
days back. The years have run fast before i could realize it was gone.
Just memories to live by.

Bandipur National Park

Had a great weekend.

I went to the Bandipur forest range near mysore with my previous company collegues. It was a long travel, the basic idea was having a get together so it didnot matter much.

We did not expect the scenery to be so good. We went to a temple on a hill top an old temple and i wondered why people get the idea of building on top of the hill. When we reached there, the time was about five, thick fog started to form and the visibility was reduced to ten feet.

I and with my friend got bold to have a small trek in the surrounding. The place had thick growth of vegetation and the hill had down ward slops and u cannot see much beyond five feet.

The next day we went for safari. The thrill of the life time was when the elephant gave a chase to us, the camera which was used for taking the photos ran out of memory otherwise a photo which can sent to the discovery channel contest would have been taken .

I want to go for tent camping in the forest but i think it is not feasible or any info towards that is welcome. I made plan for visiting kerala hope to have the same fun.

Life goes on

Two of my friends got married this week. So my question is why are they are
getting married , it is because of there desire to start the so called "wonder full, beautiful u for me and i for u life " or it is just a social obligation . Marriage is social contract / an bonding made in heaven ? But one thing is for sure the couples are given more respect than as bachelor .

Bride putting on such heavy make up, it is look sick. Why would they put on such heavy make when they are going to stand and sweat?. I wonder whether they remember people being introduced to them. 

why the need to call so many people at the marriage?. What is
the statement are they making? it is beyond me to understand. 

Hope somebody explains me this without any religious backdrop ..

any way best of luck to my friends who starting there married life "the
point of no return "

My day

Had a bad time today, I started late to the office because i had some thing to do at home. Apart from that my bike starts only with choke and on giving acceleration the bike switches off, I was completely pissed.

I drove i like a maniac from my house. At one particular signal on the way , i took off as soon as the signal became green. A auto made a u turn on road, even after blasting my horn that guy came right in my path. I crashed straight into him, believe not even a single dent was seen on auto. Today is not a good day for me ..

Hope i find myself in one piece when i reach home.

First company

Today one my friends left the company, sakthidar. People come into ur life and they move out some day.

When u move out of the first company u have worked, u do not feel so good , u are fresh out of ur college u have the same tempo of the college life fresh with energy. New colleagues, some good, some bad, some ugly, some to be cherished. But it the way it is, we are entering the new life. u have to make decision ....

Take care my friend. There will be always some one for u .

MS Application

At last i started to post my ms application to university. I hope everything is alright. It is kind of frustrating when what ever u try to do, u are missing some thing, u start to lose confidence. Let hope all turns out fine.
