…::::The Vada Pav Chronicle::::::……

Had to endure a soapy torture recently courtesy wifey.

Yesterday I had to sit thru a scene which I found amusing.

The heroine I guess, I don’t know whose who, is talking with some dude.

A guy is shown driving and boy he’s very angry.

He lands up near the guy and gal and then starts slapping him.

Time for another lady to make her entrance she mutters some mumbo jumbo.

I seriously don’t know what’s going on.

Now our macho friend drags the first lady with him.

All this with dollops of hamming and some kind of funny background music sound noise.

Now comes the funny part.

This dude says " tum —-(dunno the name) ko divorce de do"

She replies "…mai nahi de sakthi.."

The above lines are repeated thrice I guess, then our hero says "…itna sab hone ke baad bi…." or something like that.

Apna chamakchallo replies "…ha..itna sab hone ke baad bi…."

Dude: "…tum kyo nahi divorce de sakti…"

 
And then the bomb

"…kyo ki maine usse shaadi hi nahi ki hai…." (You dumbo itna bi nahi maloom ki bina shaadi kiye divorce nahi de sakte).

 
And to top it all, good old Himesh croons in the background, the previous background music sound noise was better.

This article on the Windows Vista RAM requirement says that its needs to have 4 GB of RAM for optimum performance. It states that the minimum requirement given by Microsoft will not do justice to Vista.

My computer had a 4 GB HDD when I had bought it and the new version of Windows requires the same amount of RAM!!!

I have no plans of upgrading my computer, I have the same Pentium II 350 MHz with 160 MB RAM and 30 GB HDD and it runs smoothly even now.

Read this interesting post on what to do if you are bored while flying.

If you are not flying and still getting bored then a good pastime would be to read the comments on the articles published on Rediff.

It’s amusing sometimes how people fight on silly things.

Some guys have all the time in the world to flame and some have all the time to read .

Robert Adler the inventor of the remote control is dead.

May his soul rest in peace.

I wouldnt have been a couch potato if he hadnt invented the remote control. 

Read this article about fun at the workplace, I was for it when I started my career, but after all these years I guess this concept ain’t that great.

This is applicable especially in the Indian context where the workforce is getting younger day by day.

Your organization can have a day of fun like a picnic or other recreational activities, pulling legs over the water cooler are also ok; but it would do no good if you convert the entire office into a fun zone.

It might help if you are into a very creative kind of business like advtertising, film/animation studio etc.

The reason I feel that it fails is that the entire culture of the organization becomes a fun centred one, that’s not an issue but the problem arises when you need to snap out of it for any kind of exigencies.

(more…)

Hope every manufacturer starts doing this.

It would be of huge help to us in India because none of the operators here have the capability of locking the instrument using the IMEI number.

They say that they can block the number which they certainly do and issue new SIM.

If you have biometrics like fingerprint reading then the jerk who gets your phone cant use it.

Loosing two phones have certainly made me wiser.

Found this fact to be shocking.

The quest for immortality has been going on for ages its as old as human beings.

Everybody wants to be immortal or at least live a disease free life.

Reading this makes me think that Mohini avatar was in vain, immortatlity wont be a far fetched reality soon.

"Honey what happened, whats that sound?"

 "Nothing sweety, the cieling fell on my head, thanks to this wonder head purchased yesterday nothing happended to me"

"How bad, there goes my insurance, been living with this jerk for 200 years" 

What would happen to the planet if human beings go on reproducing without dying or perhaps living till say 500 years !!!

Would we be making colonies in far of planets?

Sounds like sciene fiction, but yesterday’s science fiction is today’s reality.

The big question is whether nature would permit it or would it spring up some new kind of diseases/disasters for messing up with it?

Time would tell.

This shows I read during lunch time only, I don’t waste productive time

That our good ol politicians take a cue from this story.

Don’t cut your pay but at least pay your utilities bills.

Got this from Slashdot, these guys take the plane all over the US, so that it forms the required image (GV in this case) while tracking online.

Its sheer waste of aviation fuel and then you say that the world is getting warmer. 

If this works out then your sabziwala would be a part of the corporate world.
