    Word For The Day : Eyeservice
    With only 25% of the staff in office on Rakshabandhan, what is one supposed to do? Even eyeservice doesn't make any sense.

    Funny for the day:



    There is an old man
    down the street
    mending old lamps
    as a girl on the sidewalk
    skips to the park
    clasping her mother's hand
    walking their dog;
    and I sit
    in the car's backseat,
    thinking of these lives
    unfolding before me.

    The facebook blog is the coolest blog this side of all the so-called "social-networking" sites.

    Unfortunate Coincidence
    By the time you swear you're his,
    Shivering and sighing,
    And he vows his passion is
    Infinite, undying -
    Lady, make a note of this:
    One of you is lying.

    -- Dorothy Parker

    This poem reminds me of the Charlie Brown quote, much like most phone calls these days remind me of the need to go back in time to a cellphone-less world:

    Sometimes I lie awake at night, and ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?' Then a voice says to me, 'This is going to take more than one night.'

    Some things are so amusing at times that my eyes start rolling automatically from the giggling in my head.

    UPDATE: Some things/people are so persistently annoying that my eyes almost black out from the self-control switch going off inside my head.

    Messenger status messages and their Godotian weight
    Though I've used them myself, I never quite understood the point of MSN/GTalk status messages/nicknames until now.

    They have slowly overtaken the realm of indicating your status to the party(ies) at the other end and now rest in conveying the purpose of your online existence (annoying/amusing/indifferent) as it might be.

    I still don't know what the subject of this post is exactly meant to convey (In fact, I'm pretty sure it doesn't really mean a thing) but it could still make a very interesting thesis topic, imho. (Disregarding the bad pun and incoherence of course)

    In other news, a batchmate of mine is planning to write a book on MICA. Can't wait to get my hands on that.

    Errata: In other related news, (Which shall be remain a well-kept secret) a batchmate of mine is planning to write a book on MICA. Can't wait to get my hands on that.

    It's funny how I scare myself at times.

    It's Hard To Say It... I Had To Say It... Alternate Title: The curse of a gmail ID.
    Once upon a time... Long long ago and all that, getting a gmail invite used to be a big thing; getting to register your first name used to be even bigger (For me at least).

    Back to the future, it isn't all that great. Not when you get at least 3 mails on a daily average (Without any exaggeration, really) meant for dozens of your namesakes (Never thought I'd use the word in the plural, but then again, what do I know) in the world from idiots who refuse to check the ID they're sending the mail to. In defense of my namesakes, I'm glad we share a name. I have nothing against you; but I hope you understand that it gets a tad tiring after a while, reading mails asking me to comment on the girl some creep (Who knows!) is planning to wed or answer why I wasn't present at their son's Christening. (Which, frankly, is quite a touchy topic for me by now).

    Focussing, on the positives, the ID and I have seen good times too. It has given me more than its fair share of entertainment. It even gave me a very nice acquaintance whom I'm still in touch with. (But she was an exception). Of late, this has only caused strife. Even the entertainment quality of pics has declined considerably.

    I had been doing the responsible thing till now, mailing them back and informing them as politely as I can of the mistaken identity. But that has got to change. I have finally reached my saturation point. No more Ms. I'm-sorry-but-you-have-the-wrong-ID.

    I shall now stoop down to pretending to be the real recipient. Say Hello to Ms. will-the-real-slim-shady-please-stand-up. (Argh, I hate rap) But then again, can't really help it. Virtue needs some cheaper thrills, as a wise man once said.
