Happy Valentine’s day.

A very happy Valentine’s Day for all those folks who are celebrating today.

It’s a yet another day for me. Actually these are the few days in a year I regret being single. And it is made worse thanks to radio city and television which floods you with ads on V day and makes you feel terrible. Buy this for ur valentine, buy that for ur heart, this offer, mega offer.. total crap#$#. The best of this is the ad for Mantri Home, Give ur valentine that will never go out of fashion - A Mantri Home. What the hell. Here I am struggling almost two months to get a flat in my range, people are thinking of gifting a Mantri home for Vday!!!. Grrr.

Whatever it is I am happy as of now, except for days like this where I feel little odd! mm that’s ok.Ok Guys. Happy Vday for my married friends, Engaged chaps, Guys who are in love, and those who send their photos yesterday for Pellichupulu!!!

And for Guys, who are single like me, Get back to work and apply for mindtree IPO!!!
 

17 ways to kill a sentence

Actually this is an fwd from chax. I kinda liked it .
So bringing out to an broader audience ;)

Jack and Jill climbed up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

Use weak verbs:
Jack and Jill went up the hill to get a pail of water.

Use unfamiliar words:
Jack and Jill climbed up the hill to fetch a ewer of water.

Put introductory phrases at the beginning to push the subject back:
To fetch a pail of water, Jack and Jill climbed up the hill.

Keep the subject and the verb as far apart as possible:
Jack and Jill, to fetch a pail of water, climbed up the hill.

Put the action at the end of the sentence:
Jack and Jill, to fetch a pail of water, climbed up the hill.

Keep modifiers as far as possible from the words they modify:
Jack and Jill climbed to fetch a pail of water up the hill.

Use passive voice:
The hill was climbed by Jack and Jill so that a pail of water could be fetched.

Put the doer at the end of the sentence:
To fetch a pail of water, the hill was climbed by Jack and Jill.

Introduce false subjects:
It was Jack and Jill that climbed up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

Pile on the gobbledygook:
Jack and Jill ascended the acclivity to retrieve a vessel of Adam's ale.

Turn verbs into nouns:
Jack and Jill did the hill climb for the purpose of water retrieval.

Use unnecessary technical jargon:
Jack and Jill traversed the gradient to fetch an alembic of H2O.

Feature inappropriate precision:
John Q. Wembley and Jillian Fitzgerald climbed 1.6093 kilometers to fetch 3.785 liters of water.
Add wordy phrases:
Jack in the company of Jill climbed their way up the hill for the purpose of fetching water in the approximate amount of a pail's full.

Multiply redundant words:
Both Jack and Jill climbed all the way up to the top of the hill's summit to fetch a pail filled to its capacity with water.

Throw in clichés indiscriminately:
Jack and Jill, who need no introduction, climbed up the hill by leaps and bounds to fetch through their good offices a pail of water by hook or by crook

String lots of nouns together to form the subject:
The Jack and Jill water retrieval hill climb was achieved.

Put all 17 together:
It was the Jack and Jill H2O retrieval in an alembic vessel that was achieved via the ascent of the acclivity up to its summit in leaps and bounds through the good offices of John Q. Wembley and Jillian Fitzgerald who need no introduction.

Dinner @ Bob's

Last Saturday we met bond. No no . Not J.Bond, this was my friend - bond. He came down from Mumbai to spend his spare time which he is getting between job shifts. (How lucky?) It was nice meeting him. Actually it was nice meeting lot of guys, some of them whom I met after a year or so even though we are living in the same city.

We went for dinner at 10.30 to a place called Bob's near indira nagar. It is a small one but quite well lit. More an eat-out than a restaurant. But the greatest part was quality. The roti and parattas were really good and so were the curry. It was almost as good as Lalita's parota in Dickenson rd, but the prices were decent enough. It is not just your main course that satisfies you but the side items too should be good. In that way Bobs was really satisfactory because of buttermilk. I never had one like that before. Even the guys who usually never have buttermilk had two glasses of them.

Not sure what is the specialty there as we went at 10.30 and not much option we had, but with that limited exp, I am very satisfied with Bobs'. Do drop there to check out yourself. It is off Indranagar 80 feet road, you need to take left from the road which leads to jeevan bhima nagar.
