Tring Tring.
Tell me.
When will you learn the basic manners of telephonic conversation of saying hello, when you pick the phone?
Stop wasting the bandwidth and the time by lecturing me, tell me why you called.
My machine is having a problem
Temme wat's the problem
When I power on, right in the beginning, it says some error message, like config file missing, Insert OS CD to continue, something like that. No login nothing.
Oh, okie, cool no big deal, Insert that "Original" OS CD that i gave you. Install the OS.
Man, it is asking for some product key, to install.
Product key, is it there on the CD cover?
No it is not there.
Oh, okie cool, no big deal, you can google for your product key. Something will be available on the net, Keep trying with different ones if the first one doesnt works.

I Feel Very Puppy Shame
Hi,
Today we have been declared half a day holiday.
Re: Holiday? For what? why all of a sudden?
.
How do i explain this to a customer, who is at the other end of the globe?
If there was a sudden natural calamity, I could explain, and he would emphatize with me.
If there was a social disturbance or unrest due to political situations, well even that is something that could be justified.
But, how the hell do you explain that, there is a strike of truckers/tankers who supply water to our facility and as a result we are facing acute scarcity of water and hence we have been declared half a day holiday.
Should i offer him the butterfly effect of chaos theory? that a strike of truckers halfway across the world will delay the availability of access to high speed networks to it's customers by a week.
The revenue loss incurred could be compensated by working on some other day, even the delay could be avoided by "stretching".
But how on earth do we regain the loss of face?

நீ பாதி நான் பாதி!
Silver Jubilee தாண்டி Golden Jubilee வரை சென்று விடுமோ என்று கவலையோடு கணக்கு பண்ணி கொண்டு இருந்தான், அவன் பார்த்த பெண்களின் எண்ணிக்கையை!
அவன் அப்படி ஒன்றும் அழகில்லை ஆனால் அவ்வளவு மோசமுமில்லை.
அம்பானி அல்ல, அதற்காக அல்லக்கையும் அல்ல.
அவன் எதிர்பார்த்ததும் சூப்பராக டக்கராக இருக்க வேண்டும் என்றெல்லாம் இல்லை. சப்பையாக டோச்சாக இல்லாமல் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பது தான்.
ஆரம்ப காலத்தில், Monday Morning office செல்பவன் போல வெள்ளிக்கிழமை மாலையில் Five Star Hotel-ன் காபி ஷாப் சென்றவன் இப்பொழுது எல்லாம் friday casual wear-ல் Coffee day வர ஆரம்பித்து விட்டான்.
இப்படியே போனால், T-Shirt, Short-ஸ் உடன் தெருவோர டீக்கடையில் போகிற போக்கில் பார்க்க வேண்டியது தான் என்று எல்லாம் Creative thoughts எட்டிப் பார்க்க ஆரம்பித்தது. ஆனால் எவ்வளவு எட்டிப் பார்த்தும் வர வேண்டிய பெண் வரும் அறிகுறி தெரியவில்லை.
பார்த்தவுடன் பிடிக்காததால், எதுவும் சாப்பிட மறுத்தவள், [பிடித்தால் தான் Tissue Paper-ல் கை துடைக்க வேண்டும் என்று வீட்டில் சொல்லி அனுப்பி இருப்பார்கள் போல]. எனக்கு உங்களை பிடிக்கவில்லை, என் பில்லை செட்டில் செய்வதும் பிடிக்கவில்லை என்று பில்லில் பாதியை தந்தவள், எனக்கு உங்களோடு ஒத்து வரும் என்று தோன்றவில்லை ஆனால் என் தோழி ஒருத்தி உங்களுக்கு சரி வருவாள் என்று எல்லாம் சமூக சேவை செய்தவள், என்று எவ்வளவோ பார்த்தாயிற்று, இவள் வருவாளா மாட்டாளா என்றும் தான் பார்போம் என்று பக்கத்து டேபிளில் இருந்தவளை அவ்வப்பொழுது பராக்கு பாக்க ஆரம்பித்தேன்.
ஒருவழியாக வந்து சேர்ந்தவளை பார்த்தவுடன், மனதில் மணி, தலைக்கு மேல் வெளிச்சம் என்று எல்லாம் எதுவும் நடக்கவில்லை.
சாரியில் வந்தவள், லேட்டாக வந்ததற்கு சாரி கூட சொல்லாமல் பேச ஆரம்பித்தாள். பேசினோம் பேசினோம் பேசிக் கொண்டே இருந்தோம். நெடு நாள் பழக்கம் இல்லை எனினும் இனி மேல் பழகினால் இவளோடு தான் கலந்து பழக வேண்டும் என்று முடிவு செய்தேன். இனி ஒவ்வொரு கணமும் உன்னோடு தான் என கணப் பொழுதில் தோன்றியதை அந்தக் கணமே சொல்லவும் துணிந்தேன்.
பில் வச்சி ரொம்ப நேரம் ஆச்சு, கடை கூட மூடற டைம் என்று நின்றான் வையிட்டர். அவனிடம் இளித்து வழிந்து சாரி சொல்லும் சமயத்தில் பில்லை அவள் எடுத்து விட்டாள். நல்ல வேலை பிடித்திருக்கு என்று நான் சொல்லவில்லை, அவளுக்கு பிடிக்கவில்லை என்று நினைத்துக் கொண்டிருந்த போது அவள் கேட்டாள், பில்லில் பாதியை நான் தருகிறேன். உங்களுக்கு சம்மதம் என்றால் உங்கள் வாழ்விலும் என்று?
P.S
Please thou shall not doubt my creative intelligence!

Open letter to Airtel
I am still an Airtel customer and even a minority share holder inspite of this and this! Not just me, my entire family[family here means me, my mom, dad and sis] is an Airtel family.
Sis messaged, she wanted a prepaid recharge for 50 rupees.
Being an uber-cool techie and an airtel broadband subscriber, rather than going to a corner shop, logged in to airtel. Clicked "Recharge Prepaids"
It asks for my mobile number, amount to be recharged and the mobile number to be recharged.
It also has a image verification where one has to enter the string that is shown.
Even though I typed it right, it gave an error message that I did not enter the string properly.
It was throwing the same "string not matched" error even after several permutuations and combinations.
Okie, I will give it the benefit of doubt and I could be visually challenged, may be a sticky finger, or faulty key board, but once if i type the string wrong, shouldnt it give me another string rather than the same string??!!
Then it says, you are a first time mchek user and sends a pin to my mobile number.
I am supposed to fill this up in the website. Once filled it prompts me to enter a new mchek number of my choice.
Now i am clueless what should i do? No instructions on how many characters or could it be alphabets or numericals or alphanumeric!! Only after typing something wrong an instruction pops up enter six digit number.
Then it asks to enter my credit/debit card number. After entering, it asks for my expiration date and then the CVV number. Only to get rejected with an error message.[May be cause i was using a ICICI debit card and RBI said it is a foreign bank! :)]
Imagine, All this for the sake of recharging for FIFTY RUPEES, which I can do it in less than five minutes by walking across the street.
Whereas in their post paid bill payment, all it asks is how do you want to pay?
Once when you choose netbanking,it asks for the service[mobile or broadband], airtel number, and the bank.
Once the bank is chosen, it is redirected to the bank payment gateway.
Why cant the same mechanism used for prepaid customers? Ask the number, amount, bank, take to payment gateway of the bank, get the money,give the talktime.
Dear Airtel folks, I really wonder who designs your systems, who tests them, and who signs off the user acceptance system and do you ever use what you created? Do you people ever heard of something called as "In simplicity there is no complexity"
Either get a new IT partner or make sure your current IT partner is worth the money he is charging you.
Or stop investing money in building such systems, which could be used for acquisitions!
P.S
Let me run to the corner shop before my little sissy starts writing a open letter to my mommy about my insensitivity towards recharging her mobile!
P.S. P.S
Hope my current employer is not offering the IT services to airtel and have not put my foot where my mouth is!

Paiya Punched
Who may love the movie/can watch the movie?
All guys who are the fans of Tamannah
All girls who are the fans of Karthi
All people who love car races.
All people who dont mind wasting 150 minutes.
What is the story?
Well, seems the producer who poured the money dint bother about it, the actors dint bother about it. Why the heck you and I should bother about it.
Few Good Words
In few places, dialogues and screenplay was good. Cinematography,art and songs was good.Songs were a visual treat. ;)
Verdict
Neither a movie that "You should not miss", nor a movie that "You should miss"
Note to
Milind Soman
You could still give lots of heroes a run for the moolah. Please no more villain roles, where you are wasted.
Jagan
We expect more from you. (நாங்க உங்க கிட்ட இருந்து இன்னும் எதிர்பார்கிறோம்)
Vishal and other action heroes
Beware, there is competition for you folks![ well, not only just in terms of action ;)]
Tamannah
You do have the "POTENTIAL" to fill in the shoes of simran.[or should i say belt!] you gotta long way to go in dance department.
To me
Not necessary to buy but should start learning to drive a four wheeler.
To Readers/Commentators
All comments related to the previous line or on my driving skills(or lack of it) will not be entertained, but deleted.

Patting(Kicking) Myself
Every now and then, the dormant management consultant in me who is awaiting to be unleashed , awakes from the slumber, shows his face for a fraction of second and dozes off again.
Once upon a time long long ago, he woke up and wrote a piece here and as usual dozed off, even without noticing that he really did get noticed.
May be the recession is away and it is time to start something like this again, But with all this things happening, we cannot expect something like this from them! Well any other media house can do something like this, and nobody can stop it. After all it is a concept that is not patented!

The Devil Wears Prada
Not sure why i wanted to watch this movie!
Is it because he was drooling over anne hathway[:P :D] or or just to kill the boredom of my insomniac nights!
Well, First things first. Anne did not appeal to me! More over i liked the smart, Fat Anne who wears hideous skirts than the one who comes in the later part.
Loved the part where Meryl gives a history lecture on the sweater Anne wears! [if you had read the above line, you will know why i loved these :)]
Of all the characters in the movie, the one which admired the most was Meryl Streep.[What a lady sir she is ;)]
As soon as you see a guy doing favors and flirting with the heroine, when she has a steady boy friend, you can guess they will end up in bed!
This movie also reinforced my thoughts, why i really prefer watching english movies. They really do think a lot or spend efforts on a thing called "SCREEN PLAY" and give their best shot to make the story more realistic and give a try to tie the loose ends. Above all the climax, usually has a twist, a poetical touch if i may say and keeps you hooked until the last second.
Deepdown if i think, why i really liked the movie is cause, it is the story of most of our lives.
You get in to a job knowing least about it. Keep thinking that it is a pit stop and temporary thing that will be a ticket to pursue your passions. Keep cribbing about the job and everything. You get englightened during a tea break from your senior colleague that ,If you cant work in what you love, Love the work you do" "Prove that you are good at what you are doing before you ask, this is what i want to do" You start drinking the Kool Aid, start worshipping the holycows,you blasphemed; you join the bandwagon and become one among them or even worst among them. All this happens while you forget you (did) are doing all this because, you were not able to beat them and can never accept the reality "they got you too" and you did sell your soul to devil.
And in the end, you think, "I had no choice and I am doing what everybody wanted to do!"
We just lack the courage and conviction to walk away from the hell we rot!

Things Money Can't Buy-3
It was a cosmopoliton, multilingual, multicultural college, i.e more like a mini desi version of New York.
Thanks to Mom and Dad for his master proficiency in Telegu and Kannada respectively. Though he did not know malayalam,this 'Green Tamilan' thinks himself as a resident of true South India Vilas ;)
Inspite of being handicapped at Hindi, the rashtrabasha, save for his 'Multilingual Swearing Capabilities',Very decent jokes, an easy-go attitude, get along with anyone, can converse anything under the sky, very soon he was quite comfortably at home with Ahluwalia to Agarwal, Batra to Bannerjee, Chatterjee to Chakroborthy,Malhotra to Mehtas, and Singhania to Singh.
Though he prides on his reckless roaring rants, Still jitters hits him, when he wants to talk to the people, whom he thinks as 'Perfect Epitomes of Residents of Venus' and cat really does gets his tongue, when he has an exponentially increasing interest over them!
Telugu Thunderbolt hit him as soon as his eyes saw a girl in his class and the above explained, "can't explain why" phenomenon occured. He started dreaming, "ye maya chesave"
During the first year farewell dinner, he gathers up some courage, [of course well motivated by his friends], thinks that Queen's english is not the lingua franca between them, argues to himself that indeed technically telegu is his mother tongue, since his mother speaks telegu, goes to the telegu girl, tries to strike a conversation, mumbling few words in telegu.
Telegu girl, clearly confused,promptly replied in English, "I dont understand what you are talking, Can you tell me which language you are speaking?"
P.S
Expressions on his face: Priceless!
From there on, he stopped blowing around his telegu trumpet!

Any resemblance to reality is merely mind playing games over your hallucinated mind

Dreamz @ Desk
Monday Morning.
Alarm rings by Six. You wake up as soon as hearing the alarm, even with out bothering to snooze.
To the wake up call from Mom, You reply, I am all set to start from home.
Dressed formally, with polished shoes and washed socks, you leisurely walk to arrive first at an empty bus stop.
In the bus, rather than dozing off, you keep your window open, feeling the breeze on the face, listening to some peppy song from ipod.
When you reach your cubicle, your colleagues are awed that you have arrived early and looking fresh rather than your usual "straight out of sleep" syndrome.
"All is well" until some one disturbs you out of your dreams, and call for a 'Chai' break!
