2009...

2009 was a bit mediocre for me..ya true..actually its nt my fault...it was pretty eventful as I turned into a professional from a student...and etc etc blah blah....but truth be told...its still mediocre because it followed the legendary year of my life 2008 :) ...with all those learning experiences with those interviews where I just couldn't clear that last hurdle every time...and that phase in my life where I almost screwed up some one's life..completely by myself...and many more things...So for me 2008 was the winner..with 2009 just closely behind...
Best parts of 2009 for me were..the job thing and the hangover incident...the job....I think i made a pretty good start to my professional career..Learnt many things...NET mainly!...And it would get very long if I start giving out all details...so lets take it for granted that i started pretty well...
And the hangover incident...my last week in college..I got drunk like ..crazy..lost all my senses.,.told 20 guys the same story 20 times(how good they each are!!)...slept in a dirty balcony for 4 hrs..rolled in vomit shit for another couple of hours...and missed to give my Seminar which was at 4 pm!(2 credit course!)...Sounds exaggerated but true thing ppl...And sometimes it gives me jitters when I think about it...Ya it isn't so funny if you are mature unlike me...I could have done anything that night..what if I jumped off the 14th block!(I had issues at that point of time)...a lotttttt of them :(...)..or even worse called our sir KK to give a piece of my mind.. :) ...Anyways that was a wild night Man...And followed by 4 very silent nights...fever..head ache..nausea..vomitings..all the vocab of a clinic doctor I knew from that experience!!..I even might have become the 1st person that i know to die of dehydration!!...thanks to Irfan and Sarath for not giving that title to me :)...
So now about 2010...
And as any January 1st is lame without any resolutions(Ya right!)..this time I have put 2 for myself....I will try to get fit...not aamir fit!!..but thoda bahutt yaar...And I will finish my book too...
Long Live 2008 and 2009!!...Hope 2010 lives upto its ancestors :)

Busy days right.?..for everyone..yep..seems to me all of a sudden everyone is in the news....from kcr(of telangana fame!) to Tigerwoods(of golf fame...na na...now he s more famous for the girls he bedded.)..And while telangana is finally on the cards after all these years, I am thinking to myself which side am I on??, You know what.!. I don't really know. It makes me feel sad when I realise I know only just bits and pieces of this whole telangana puzzle, hey but how many of you know calculus ha?..u see I am a king in that!...haha..in ur face losers!...
I think in my last post I thought of talking about my new life, new friends in bangalore. Ballz to that idiot (whoever it was) who went on to generalize that your college friends will be it..thats it...no more new frens..you have to call only these guys(and/or)gals...well..I say god works in mysterious ways!..I made some really great friends after joining this company. 60% of them freshers, 20% in age-group who understand my jokes, and another 20% who give blank stares when I say anything(let alone jokes!)...I don't wanna take names here!...most of dem read my blog :P...
And moving on to ,life in Bangalore, its good. First when i set foot in this city, i still remember thinking to myself, it will be 3 days before I start hating this city!..but here I am., just 10 days shy of completing my first 6 months and I love the city. The weather, oh god...it kicks ass...And I wanted to talk about that 2nd cric match we had won :)..Ya it was against colt tech. and we kicked their ass real bad...Man...what the hell's gotten into me!..stop saying ass, stop stop....ha..stopped...so now...ya..the scoreline read mcafee 174/4 and colt 134/9..and as far as batting was concerned I was the one to go in 6th(new to the team yaar!!...miss my college days when I went in first :( ...), and only 4 \wickets were down..so i didnt get to bat....Hey I got 1 question for you,....have any of you any time seen 3 stumpings in 1 innings...that too of a T20 match..??...well you would have..if only you were there for that match...Mr. Abilash gunta goes on to get 3 stumpings!..man,,,Did i enjoy or what...had a ball that day...
And ppl....I read a book called 2 states, ya the one by bhagat...It was a hilarious read...do try tat one...because you wont get that good Indian writers everyday.....And the way he brings out the characters alive is awesome....both Ananya and krish rocked...we can totally identify with them...ofcourse you shud have gone to both IIT and IIM to do that neatly!!...well I went to NIT..So...i cud do that at some level.....
Anyways cya kids.....laterrr.....
Cricket..Job..nd New Friends!
Posted by : Tyler Durden | Sunday, November 15, 2009 | Published in
And ya..first things first...Cricket fever has been high in the corporate circles...definitely among those companies that have a cricket team!...ya really..many of my friends don't even know that there is this T20 tournament going on since past 2 weeks...may be they are not interested in this beautiful game or may be they don't even have a team to start of with...I don't wanna take a guess on dat..And ya guess what..Am one of the only two freshers in the team(first time freshers in the team in McAfee's history)!!...We won our first match convincingly on Evangel Soft...their batting sucked even more than their software...we made 111-6 in 16 overs(reduced due to bad light!)....they were 85 I guess by the time they faced their last over...I was the Wicket-Keeper(With leather ball...It hurts!..not for kids)...1 catch and 1 stumping to my credit...And how much I wish I hadn't done that stumping...because you see the idiot I am...I said FO to the batsman as soon as I took the bails off!..and to top that my Team-Lead was the bowler...He came running down to stop that batsmen(Imran I guess his name was) from hitting me...And he did all the apologizing..!...Later all of us had a big laugh out of it...And my lead still says.."Kya bhai..puura 15 saal ka izzat ek sec mein kho diyaa"...I mean...Come on....Heat of the moment mein sab kuch ho jaata hai....right?...And we had another good net-practice 2day..2nd match Next week....hoping we will win dat too...
And now jumping on to job...enjoying the work...Learning lots of stuff that I didn't even knew existed...And better..Am having a crack at them :)...Had a good All-Hands meet at Taj...the big guys flew down for this..And it was Trend's turn this time to take the beating in the ppt....the best line was..."TREND continues to disappear"....If you don't know what Trend I am talking about here...then that's completely true....even otherwise that's a fact!..
And thought of writing about my new friends and new TV!...and last but not least the OLD me.......I guess I did enough of the last one in the cricket paragraph!....boasted enough!..
Anyways...will catch you guys with more funnier topics next time...Cya kids...
Why HIMYM is better than any other sitcom....
Posted by : Tyler Durden | Friday, October 02, 2009 | Published in
And lets not waste too much time on these floods...lets move Right into the topic...and whats that..??...ya..i thought about writing HIMYM and F.R.I.E.N.D.S here...And please don't get fooled with the title..that's just a play with the words and one of my many ways of pulling the crowd!!!...
Now...FRIENDS...man...That show was so great...If i go on writing about it...i will break my rule about the length of the posts that I promised myself to stick with in my blog...And what made it so great...despite running along-side Seinfeld for almost 5 years(i guess..)...Everything about that show was awesome..the characterisation...jokes..acting...sets...long running gags(unlike in most sitcoms)...etc...And the basic concept of friends hanging out and the storyline around their lives...which is the central theme of any sitcom off late...it all started at central pErk in 94 when friends made its debut...So its almost a pioneer of its kind...And for the record I like chandler more than joey.....
By now you might be thinking...here is an other avid friends fan who has wasted zillion hours of his college life watching that sitcom....well people...here's the bad news...make it two zillion hours....i wasted another zillion on my favorite show of all time....How i met your mother....yes..thats right..friends is 2nd on my list....many of you might feel that himym is not in the same league as friends...i say..yes..thats right..its way above...I have never been more serious in my blog!!!....reasons??...the amazing screenplay(nothing i have seen till now even comes close...)..all the flash backs and flash forwards that they use ingeniously....and the characters...cool man..barney..ted..marsh..etc all of em rock..and the stories...they are too modern..and they rock......they also make use a lot of online stuff like..blogs..websites...blah blah...we all can easily identify with the stories...And long running gags like....THE BRO CODE.....and lbnl the satires on heroes etc.....Everything about the show is too great....but for friends fans they always argue with the same old point.....himym is completely inspired from friends....well..lemme lay it out clear for you...there is something called American culture around which all their shows are based..(obviously)...so then the things like thanksgiving..or..dating too much...living on their own...not with their parents,....is not the invention or a patent filed by the boys at friends...And also assuming that its a valid theory(its definitely not)...then friends is a also a show completely inspired from Seinfeld....for the same reasons...So we cant just write off any show..and that too a great show like himym saying its a copy of friends...(i used to think the same).........So giving all the credit to friends,,,its the 2nd greatest show in this era.....And the boys at cbs have pulled off the greatest of all.....
P.S :: The complete carbon copy of friends is that show they aired for sometime on maa tv....called...Yuva...produced by none other than the loser of Telugu industry...nagarjuna...the ultimate plagiarist...
Funny...I stop blogging for 2 months on the trot...and now am here with 2 blogs within 12 hrs...(and my mom says am not a weirdo...!!)...I didn't have time to talk about my trip to nandi hills in the last post..so here I am...
The night before the trip we all gathered at chiru's place...(we had to start at 3 A.M!!!..or the trip was meant to watch the sunrise only:)...and i remember me and sridhar searching nandi hills on google images...and boy..were we surprised at its beauty...and as any sane person would think..we thought the images were enhanced...but it was our turn to be surprised on seeing the real place....it was majestic...awesome...(am being modest here!!)...we started at 3 in the morning and obviously it was cold in this crazy city...too cold,,and our bad...it was raining too...so much for our dreams of seeing the sunrise....
And the craziest thing that happened on the trip was....an idiot monkey almost threw my bag of the cliff...we were just sitting and taking pics and the lazy person I am...i put my backpack aside for just 12 secs and suddenly out of nowhere 2 monkeys come and one grabs the bag...we were shell-shocked...we didnt know what to do...that bag had many valuables of all the guys..and my IPOD mann..that was in there too....And guess what happens...our roll no.4 Mr.Ajit says to me arey we both will shout like crazy..it will get scared and run away....(point to be noted...we both were just 5 feet from the monkey...now read on..)...And the fucker didn't even count to 3...like what they do in such emergencies!!..for the timing!!....and he shouted..am sure even the people on the other side of the hill would have heard him.....and guess what!....the monkey shouted back and it almost looked as if it was about top jump on us...I was 2 secs away from shitting in my pants(for the record....i hate dogs..monkeys and aamir khan...)...
Then that crazy monkey threw the bag aside and ran away....and it was DP i guess who took charge and got the bag back...the whole monkey episode was...as my friend ashwin would say........."keiika raa!"....
Anyways guys...it was fun reminiscing that crazy trip...and for more funny stories of ma life.....keep visiting this site....cya kids....laterr...
P.S :: Hey guys...see cloverfield movie...If you like out of the box movies(not the regular 3 fights...6 songs..crap cinema!!!)...you will like it...

So how is everyone..? Ha...I ask this one because the world seems to be going crazy...(definitely not just my perspective)....lots of crazy stuff is happening around...MJ died...Britney's still normal...Apple and google fight!(i always knew it would happen...)..and LBNL SRK gets humiliated at newark terminal...of course i know...they say the protocol...security...blah blah...but..Fuck dat..okay..fuck dat...just google up his name and you would know who he is...right!...and please don't even think of saying...he is not a special guy to let him in without being checked...Screw your miniature sized brain(whoever s thinking in that direction..)...Now I only can pity for my friend Irfan(when he visits US...he has a bag that reads..My Name is Irfan).....I have decided not to stuff his bag with toy guns...so much for my plans for him to make headlines in US of A....:(
So and what else..??...hey i saw that movie eenadu(telugu)...not bad at all...i felt it was better than the hindi version...and man...you should all see 17 again...great teen comedy after a long time...
And anyone tried 7 yet??...windows 7 you losers!!!...its not bad i feel...at least 100 times better than vista(oh god! that was an OS disaster of all time)....and 7 has a cool xp mode in it..just like a virtual machine...Microsoft can do some things!!!...And guys even try out the vmWare...and if you are interested in investing..please go ahead and invest in vmWare company...that's where the future is...Don't believe me..?...Google it up..you will know...cloud computing..web 2.0..VM's....thats the future...
And coming to my job and company...it rocks as usual...learning a lot of stuff lately...enjoying my Nintendo Wii :)...And my company's been kicking ass too...in Q3 it kicked symantec right in the nuts!...well symantec doesn't have me right!..now stupid jokes apart...am really having great time with ma job..:)
P.S :: cisco and oracle have finally given DOJ's!!!..that was a real surprise!...And hey guys...Dan's new book is out...The lost symbol...hard copy will take months to come to India i guess...ad if again some catholics starts protesting(i donno why dont they shut the fuck up...)...it might even take years...too bad for us indians...

And hey ya cumin to Mcafee..I just have 3 words...its RED...it ROCKS...and its COOL...yaa...its red-rock cool...This RED-yellow joke runs in corporate circles guys...We are red..and sum other company is yellow...ofcourse we are in the lead...Hmmm...and ya...now..we are learning about hacking...and the reason???...unless you know what the bad guys do...how can u stop them....right...And its so damn COOL you know...of course i won tell you what we are learning in it...why should I!!!!?...And why does it rock???...you can even call the CEO by his first name..of course I still didn't get that chance though....but we address our teachers at training and HR's by their first name......the SIR ERA has come to an end...(at least for me...)...God bless Mcafee...
Now now now....I cant stop laughing reminiscing those days when we guys used to treat our idiotic KK as the king of his own country...Except calling him "your majesty"..we did everything else...man...it was so dumb..that guy wasn't worth shit...and that's what we had to do.....And now .....we call these guys with first names...and what have they done for it..?...only hunt down some of the most famous hackers and writing tough Firewalls...so we could sleep peacefully...Wow...How can life flip by 360 in just some days...?...Finally I had my answer..Corporate is cool...at least my company......Now I cant stop the itch to call that KK bas* and screw him.....Oh....but...my biggest problem now seems to be...How to get sleep??...I have tried everything last 3 days.....TV...Internet...skipping dinner..eating dinner twice etc etc...bu nothing worked....anyways I'll keep trying..See ya later kids...
P.S :: RED ROCKS....
P.P.S :: I hate KK...
The curious case of Shahid Afridi...
Posted by : Tyler Durden | Tuesday, June 23, 2009 | Published in
Among my friends at school...none of us had the same favourite player from any sports or teams....If i rooted for beckham...niki got a triangular hair cut of ronaldo...If i cheered Raikkonen(this was around 2001..)...siddharth loved schumi....If i loved Justine...some other guy hated her at sight...No one's taste matched....but when it all came down to cricket....Shahid was the only choice...and even among gals..(for obvious reasons they say...I still dont get what they mean...)...When any of us would walk out to bat among our famed bet matches(10 Rs bets..)...we would jus shout.."Go...Do an Afridi"...that was the impact he had on many young kids...and now he is doing it again...
And in the final...when pakistan were 1 wicket down...I would have happily sent Misbah to bat...(even after he choked at the death 2 years back...remember 1st T20 world cup??...)...Ya... because given Afridi's batting form for the past 2 years no one would trust him with bat even after he sealed the semifinal match for them...Many say he is in the team only on his reputation...But the captain's gamble paid off.....Or may be it wasn't a gamble at all in the first place...May be he fits at No.3 better than elsewhere...( Jus like the golden era when he used to open with Anwar..)...Only time must tell....with this 29 yr old...I still don't believe his age.....Am only sure it would be between 29 and 35...And no further comments...
P.S:: A rumour goes that Afridi apart from his bowling.....still has been scoring consistently...well...not on the field....
P.P.S:: One of ma friends is struggling to make followers for his blog...Do help him...he is sarath teja and his link wil be in one of the comments....!!
Can't get full & high again!!!...

And the other shock came just 4 days back.....Smoking is not fr me...i coughed like a zillion times to finish one small ciggy...Oh god...how can u do this to me...smoking is out too!!!!....I know many out there might think..."this is a crazy bastard...y does he want cancer??.."...Thank u guys fr doing the honours...but..Leave all d cancer hype aside...lets face it...Smoking is cool...and you know it...tats the bottom line....But its too late fr me though...i fucking dont know why i cant stop coughing when i smoke...may be its the signs..you know...may be I am destined to do more great things in life...oh..fuck it..who am i kidding...its always more cool wen u have something on fire at one end and u put the other end of it in your mouth...tats a Guinness dare act right there...
P.S:: Guys...dis was just something that was on my mind...so if u hate smoking...please continue hating...dont get excited by the topic...in simple English...continue being a sissy....

Full monty.....the ghosts die...at Garros..
Posted by : Tyler Durden | Monday, June 08, 2009 | Published in Federer, French open, Nadal
And of all people who were watching the final on TV sets...am sure that the guy who had minimum blinks of his eye was Nadal...Given his sportsmanship, he would have been very happy at the result...And all this time we always have been pointing the finger at Fed and saying "oh...poor bastard..not again"...But nadal knows only too well...What his stature would have been..if only he was born either 5 years earlier or later to his birthday.....The guy was being pissed off consistently by Fed for the first 3 years of his career...He even once said.."if you take my statistics...I will be No.1 in all the eras except this Fedex era..."...Of course he was NO.2 for as long as anyone can remember.....But the clay moron always had his way at the Garros...
On a more personal note...Am a nadal fan and proud to be one...But the guy had to lose some day and it finally came...thanks to the Solder-man...whoever he is...And am pretty sure the bookies still wouldn't have put more odds with federer to win the final...because guys...there are 2 things that always stood between the Swiss and the French....."NADAL" and "the GHOST"...ya..nadal was out early but the ghosts in fed's mind would never leave him atleast for the rest of his career...And by ghosts i mean...the negative self conf...on the red surface particularly.....inflicted by the bull...But somehow he overcame the ghosts(to every one's surprise...)..and that too in a pretty quick time...it must be one of the shortest grand slam finals here...
Its already full..No thanks...
