New Cook


Now I know what people managers mean when they say, new people in an organization get fresh ideas and bring abt changes ( though not necessarily good ones ) :). Me and my roomies were having a peaceful time. Staying in a Nice three bedroom house, found a dhobi, got gas stove … We used to cook whenever practical, esp in nights, else happily eat outside :)

My friend Sagar joined us from Noida and within two weeks he found a cook in our neighborhood who can cook for us breakfast and dinner. :) The cook is a Orissa guy, Claims to be better at Northi stuffs and ok at south indian items. So we appointed him in one month evaluation mode. Just three days over and food is not so great. It is manageable and not all my roomies have approved him as of now.

But as of now I am happy, not because of food, but I need not cook. Other wise everyday when I leave from office, the very thought of going home and cooking used to pain me. Now just sit and eat .....

Blog is the reflection of mind. ???

I am not a blogger. First I am not regular, Second, nobody reads mine. :)

Started off as an anonymous let out for my feelings, during which I used to pour out things straight from my Heart (I mean mind too) without discretion. Later when I came to know that a few of my friends are reading this, I started using some discrimination here n there and that led to irregularity :) (that resulted in a totally anonimous blog getting opened !$!)

ok. The point is not abt my past, the point is me reading another persons blog (mind it, i am not using the word coblogger, -- descrimination effect!!)to know something about that person. What made me think that i will come to know about someone if i read their blog?. I remember, when PV started blogging (when rest of us were busy in our mundane lifes),

He used to advertise blogging in his own inevitable style, Talking only about the same topic continuously in all conversations, blogging blogging blogging.

"Blogging gives me an identity, I am more comfortable with the virtual world, the virtual world is more real, wanna know abt me, read my blog " were his dialogs, which for a change he really meant ;) . And that is true. Blogging really changed him. He grew, become a better person after blogging.

ok. Again I am deviating. The point is I wanted to know abt some one. Let us call the person as A (Guess B will be more appropriate!!!). And I came to know about A's blog. And being a s/w Eng, the curiosity of knowing things got into me and visited the blog and read the recent ones . Of course I found that a lot of commonalties do exist, reg reading habits, movies, and anand -movie music :) . But the i wanna know more about A. I know for sure it is of no use to know about A as our lives will never cross again. Still the innate curiosity made me read A's blog's archives!!!. Sat for 1 hr and read the archives(not all but did a browsing). End of which gave an insight abt blogging and how it really projects a virtual personality of oneself. But all said and done, it is what A decided to project as it was not just a personal blog and thats sums it all.

So decided to spend more time in reading others blogs , which i was neway doin when i was in my previous company but totally stopped after joining here.

Anyhow All the best for A to have a happy (blogging) life and the same to other bloggers in this wide www world.

Way to Go Saka :)

Being Lonely...

Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I cant be there where you are
There is something missing in my heart

Not Sure why. But when ever i hear this song, i will hear it back2back atleast 5 times before I proceed further.

Is that because i am currently feeling Lonely ??? I Guess it is because I was, is and will ever be a lonely guy. One of my best friend is known for making just-like-that statements which he popularises and adds meaning after making it (is there a word for such people or such acts !!!) . One of his statements that will ever remain in my heart (sorry in memory) is - I am alone amidst crowds. It never troubled me then .Its not that i have no friends. Most of my best friends are in banglore and this is all i could have wished for during my college days. It is not that i am free or jobless. I am busy, ramping up in my new office and coping with new changes :)
And no financial problem or family problem .

Still .......

Currently hearing it for 8th time in succession. Hope i am not goin any nuts ..

Knock knock.

knock knock ..
who is that ..
this is saka ...
who the hell is that ...
the guy who writes here ..
that was long time ago .. now get the hell out of here...


psss.... thats my state now.. i stopped blogging for a long time now.. No.. its not that there was nothing happening in my life. So much was happening.. but truely i was busy :)
Busy with happenings and changes in my life and in the life of people aroung me.
So what was happening in my life ?? Will try to list out in a chronology ...
1. My brother came back from US and is settling in chennai. Atlast i have some relatives in chennai.
2. Changed my job .. again :-) thats the main reason for my silence
3. One of my best friend got married. So my weekends are pretty much free...
5. Father’s Retirement. So more responsibility ??
6. Orkut fever: This is one thing I had resisted for long. Orkut, Ringo , Namedatabases.. alll these things some one or the other will invite and will be forgotten, 3 months after joining. So I was resisting for long. But too many guys sent me the invitation
so I got into orkutting and bingo... I found that my entire world was already there ...
7. sync with my 360. Now that my blogspot is my primary blog, I was not posting nething there . Now i decided to sync up both. Basically scrap the same thing at both the places . (btb, it is scrap not crap... result of orkutting ....)
8. trying to organize myself again.


will continue ....
