I was asked to answer a question that got me thinking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;"Whats your experience of working with this team?" Now here i am, a jackass. I could answer this in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;20 words, 50 words , 100 words or even write an essay on it. Blame the UPSC. I can add lot of raw&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;facts, analysis and yeah god bless me even charts :). Jokes apart, the only thing that will influence the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;process of forming an "experience" is the people around you. I have been extremely lucky to say the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;least in my entire 4yrs of career so far, to have had the opportunity of working with amazing people.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;Some times i think, myself and elusive lady luck have been joined on hip like twins! And hmmm, yes&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;i can never distinguish between the teams or rather my experiences between teams will be the same&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;or i would be doing myself a great injustice of demeaning one over the other. Of course, the process&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;may change, the amount of work, stress factors blah and blah change among teams but should i give&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;a damn? after all profession is just a way of spending the not so productive part of your life! For me its&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;been the same so far, few good men, few damsels, few dudes, few boozers and of course a villain or two&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"&gt;in every team and the jokes, laughters, sadness, crisis in different shades.

I have been hanging out with the same bunch of guys since ages and keep doing the same monotonous things to spend the active part of every day life. And it so happened to me that i ended up being real close with them and vice-versa. Like hell, there comes a day in your life when all dear ones migrate, depart and then when it so happens you have no option but to be depressed. Of course there is a way out by&amp;nbsp;socializing&amp;nbsp;with new kinds of people, getting busy in new things or seriously pursuing what you hate doing. But then damage has been done. So dont get too close!

If it wasnt for the pressure to excel in academics, i would not have mugged it up; forget about learning them. The sheer neglect of these will definitly make you sort of outcast. If it wasnt for the cultural enlightenment in eng college, i would probably have a tough time mingling with people. And today i feel how important the social sciences and humanitarian sciences are for the developement of us as citizens of the state. Hats off to all those people who are passionate about these subjects to the extent that they go ahead and educate the masses on the same. Not that they are dumb to be engineers, doctors etc. Humanitarian science needs IQ, analysis..etc and all those grey cells we need for science subjects but it also needs something more like emotions, understanding of human needs.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3180188158448982268-5539169985026021399?l=syks-on-block.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/feeds/5539169985026021399/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3180188158448982268&amp;postID=5539169985026021399' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/5539169985026021399'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/5539169985026021399'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/2010/01/and-i-am-wrong-again.html' title='And, I am wrong again'/><author><name>Sourabh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04653862907954583163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180188158448982268.post-8115170325036823803</id><published>2010-01-19T15:05:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2010-01-19T15:09:26.817+05:30</updated><title type='text'>be yourself</title><content type='html'>why cant you be just yourself?

Mr Mallya hopelessly fails in this task. To have ordered the creation of countless statues and to have placed it just besides Dr Ambedkar tat too pre-posthumously (oops!) is one uphill task!! This definitely shows her "greatness" in arm twisiting public adminstration officials and enforcing her monarchy(gotta believe the news this time). Reaching the post of CM is no mean job, tat too for a dalit women in notoriously populated UP. But will she force ppl to remember her by such means?

As far as story is concerned, if u r looking for a timepass or after a hard day at work, for some rejuvenation then pls avoid! However the description of Bombay (now Mumbai) is wonderful. You can learn a lot about the city coz time and tide doesn’t affect Bombay. Only thing that makes you read it is the autobiography has a serial killer who will be revealed at the end.

It surely beat the hell out of me. It’s really tough to believe that human mind can go to such an extent as to be termed CRUEL. The documentary starts with a mom explaining the situation of their kids. One woman goes on to say this “The kids always think of staying at home. They are too afraid to go to the school which is in the next building; because they feel when they come back I and their daddy would be dead!”  The director shifts focus to her daughter who is just 6 yrs old but asks questions which makes me dumb - “I can’t even wear the sunglass which my dad gifted me and walk in sun for few mins, I can’t even wear the bangles and necklaces which my mom gifted me last year and all my clothes stink of GAS! I can only breathe GAS everywhere! Why are they spoiling my new clothes by bombing? Everything smells of GAS”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was in fact shocked to hear the statistics. The US has well established itself for “sanction”. It’s really disgusting to observe that the amount of aid that goes out of America to 190 countries totals 62.5 billion dollars every year, whereas the amount received by Israel is 62 billion dollars! There are hardly 5 million Jews in Israel and they get the most. This further leads to the figure of 3 million dollars per day to Israel. Further strengthening the ties between two countries is the American Pro-Israelic Council that contributes enormous amount in name of Christianity, but at the ground zero its barbarism to the core. We all know US is one egoist son of a bitch! But, what about the Jews? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously like Adolf Hitler than this bloody Jew.  Why would the Israelis destroy 14000 homes of Palestinians in middle of the night? By Jove it killed so many harmless and innocent kids, disabled and old people who wouldn’t even know how to hold a rifle. It’s really sickening to see the rubbles in documentary and come to conclusion for yourselves than learn something from reading the news. During one such “uprising”, says an old Palestinian “the Israeli army came at night with tanks and guns. The commander asked us to get dressed and vacate our homes. I came out of the door only to find the sniper’s bullet hit my palm. I collapsed. I am 83 yrs old and couldn’t get up. The commander came near me and kicked my groin. He said “get up you oldie!” I told him I was hurt and old to get up. He aimed his rifle at my ankle and fired. I don’t know where to go! Please suggest me a place to go and fend for myself.”  After listening to his words only thing that lingers in my mind is the thought that earth is most stupid and the humans are the cruellest creatures in this entire universe. No doubt about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are basically two types of Jews who came to Palestine explains Noam Chomsky “the one group of settlers are those who feel that Palestine is their holy land since the book mentions so and other than them no one have any right to occupy it. The other group of Jews are those who were promised extravagant lands and sums by the government so that they would live in Palestine. This made the influx of Jews into Palestine to double every 5 yrs. This accompanied with the barbaric torture and killing of Palestinians by the Israeli armed forces reduced the Palestinian population to mere 4 million from 7.5 million in 1950s while the Israeli population jumped to 9 million in just 2 decades. “&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other facts are more disgusting! Israel is the only country to have violated each and every treaty or law enforced by UN Security council on many instances and US has vetoed more than 40 times to save Israel from getting charged in UN court of law! Adding to this, Israel has 400 tanks and millions of weapons when Palestine has only ZERO tank and the Hamas have to steal the weapons from Israelis! Of course US have branded Hamas as terrorist organisation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end, an Israeli social worker says “We have evolved to be human now! Some of our soldiers have refused to serve in this uprising; even some of the army officers supply weapons to Palestinians to defend themselves. We have strengthened our campaign to provide water supply and food to Palestinians”. I am genuinely surprised to find an Israeli organisation called “Organisation against Home Demolition”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A question still lingers in my mind! Are Israelis human? Why would Jews being the purest breed of Christians amount to such acts of extreme barbarism in name of GOD when Christianity is least fundamental (in fact liberal) compared to other religions on earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am forever indebted to the writers and directors of this documentary for creating such a wonderful thing amidst high risk! The only thing that spoiled my mood at the end of the show was a group discussion initiated by the organisers discussing this issue as if it was happening in neighbouring area and they could approach municipal council about it! Far more worse is when someone stands up and says “We as Indians have to do something about it! We are secular and peace loving nation. We should force our govt to take initiatives and help them”. Huh! A dumb ending to intelligent play!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3180188158448982268-4405730933541842263?l=syks-on-block.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/feeds/4405730933541842263/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3180188158448982268&amp;postID=4405730933541842263' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/4405730933541842263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/4405730933541842263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/2009/01/occupation-kills.html' title='Occupation Kills'/><author><name>Sourabh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04653862907954583163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180188158448982268.post-4530147331931109859</id><published>2008-11-21T10:40:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-11-21T10:44:26.061+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Luxury Vs Vulgarity</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"..luxury is something.Before branding ppl as luxurious better think twice! Ppl who live in luxury never think before spending. they buy what they want, live the way they want without giving a damn to wat ppl think abt them. of course they are social. for ex: saddam hussein ( Me&lt;br /&gt;thinking:chuckled), godrej ( Me:yup they are nuts. they are descendants of calvin klein + gabbana) , Vijay Mallya ( Me: good one!) .. blah blah.they have enuf wealth to last for 3 generations. And importantly they dont show off.."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;" what they dont show off? (Me: hey dumbo they dont show off man. its their way of life) "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;" Yup they wont show off. its just their way of life (Me: Bulls eye). When they have millions and millions , their standard of living too is at the altar.."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"But.. (Me: whose mine or urs? wily laugh) what abt pakkad mane?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"He he he ( Me: he is total nuts) ! U mean these neighbours also have a luxurious way of life? please explain..(Me: confused.)"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;" but..(Me:again! mine or urs?) pa.. they have a 42 inch TV! washing machine, blah blah (Me: hey idiot shut up man!)"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;" U call this luxury? U call a man who sits in indian style on a french toilet , buys the things at discounted sale , has cheap but funky furnitures around Luxurious? No son , its sheer Vulgarity ( Me: wow!, son:Looks at Me,with a smile in his eyes , both acknowledge!) U call him "Vulgar". Thats wat we are. Not jus me and u most of the indians! We only buy 42 inch TV becz we need the news to be spread to whole mohallah that we have one... This started with Nehru..Will tell you the story later on. But now remember for the rest of your life the terms "Luxury" , "Vulgarity" and the Difference between the two..."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;" Hey stop lecturing around! (Me: Poor chap, Son: ha ha ha..m relieved wasnt made a scape goat again! better keep my mouth shut next time , Dad: Why does she always interrupt!) time for dinner..)  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;PS: Me: Interesting but controversial topic!

It was he who introduced this concept of writing abt english madams or memsahibs as they wer called.at that time it was a taboo to talk abt sex forget publishing!!he was bullied, laid, beaten and insulted by the very ppl who subscribed illustrated weekly!! its hard accepted fact thatthese ppl secretly admired his editorials and he went on to double,triple the no of readers during his reign as editor.then came the politics!!! i m not sure whom he supported during emergency...but ma dilapidated memory(blame this IT industry)says he pledged his support to indira..watever it proved too costly for him..he did lose his job eventually. in short he wasshown the door ...ungraceful exit for a man of his stature!! guys jus get a hold of books publishing his editorials!!! believe meit rocks.And to all the PJ fans he coined th term, it was called PHLAT Joke . Hats off to u Mr Singh!!   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So wat i plan to imply?? Therez too much sleaze!! the very concept of publishing these gossips , snaps of actress,fashion etc that we see in todays toiwas actually introduced during his reign..but wer have we reached now!! its high time the present editors take a note of the fact that even kids of 7-8th std have been bored of the toi news. strangely m yet to figure out that ...wat has ours PCs budget thing got to do with the prono stuff?? i was and m still disgusted to see that every page iof general budget coverage had some skimpliy clad cartoons(obviously femme) and news on silicon,bi**** and t*&amp;amp;^%$ !!! wat was the intention of the editor?? is he taking us for a ride?go on publishing the brutal crimes against women that and this ..wen they r the ones who try to use as much adult stuff as possiblefor every type of news!! Come on give us and the news makers a break!!i think a large percentage of readers don evn bother to go thru the stuff lik this actress had fever,he went to market,they visited this street and that..if this goes on ...we may have to read news lik these page3 guys went to loo yesterday!!! may be on front page..  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;N editorial section?? I have given up reading it..May be Swaminomics on sunday sounds interesting!! but Jug Suraiya? Shobha De? N one more lady with alex jokes at the end ..these never change. same style similar topics!! maybe our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;african goobe&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; shud be given some space!! he writes well. it surely boosts the sale too :).  I wud prefer T J S George, Swapan Dasgupta or sometimes Shekhars too. They surely knw where n when to write what!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt; N lastly u can mix sleaze with drinks..never with sports or politics!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3180188158448982268-4949110182392568749?l=syks-on-block.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/feeds/4949110182392568749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3180188158448982268&amp;postID=4949110182392568749' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/4949110182392568749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3180188158448982268/posts/default/4949110182392568749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syks-on-block.blogspot.com/2008/03/toi-says-sleaze.html' title='TOI Says Sleaze'/><author><name>Sourabh</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04653862907954583163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3180188158448982268.post-3556456593680923435</id><published>2008-02-09T11:58:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-11-21T11:08:19.106+05:30</updated><title type='text'>TODAY</title><content type='html'>woke up feeling disgusted with the "boss" for making me come to office today..Common!! its saturday and half the so called IT professionals are asleep..huh..the feeling vanishes the moment i come out of ma room..Wow!! the air smells of musk and its ...its...raining!!!

So be it. The only thing we DEVELOPERS look forward to after a busy day( i.e tired of taking too many Micro-breaks,ur hand and wrist ache lik hell cause of ever increasing typing speed..blame the gtalk!!) is come home and switch ON the tv and watch till u feel asleep..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;How many of u wud like to have a lesson in chemistry once u reach home?? "Wat!! R u kidding??" wud be the reply..N i ain kidding moms..I come home after the so called "busy day" only to find ma little cousin staring at the cover page of "Let Us C++". I make a stirring sound to let him knw of ma presence..he continues to stare ..lost in his own world..i stir again..not even the hair on his eyebrow move! "Hi bro, how was the skool?" he gives me a cold stare..Alpacino is dead meat so is his "Godfather" ( all sequels) . I carry on with ma work..(wat work does a couch potato have at home?) ..."Bro, C is symbol for Carbon. Its valency is +2 (he mite have said -2 also..don remember) ..do they represent carbon as C++ now?" Bingo!! now i realise y he was giving me all those "U piece of shit!!" look wen i tried to talk to him..M dumbstruck. Can u answer him?? I jus blabber some crap saying its a language n stuff..he isn convinced!! (nor i am!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Ma aunt gets me a bowl of grapes..i starting hogging it. "Bro, u r eating tartaric and malenic acid!!" i vomit!! I ask him from wer did he get these blah-blah acids. I find it difficult to get a coupla sleeping pills these days..the doctor is the Mafia Don and the pharmacist is his circuit (assistant)..Don nods his head i get pills else its short-circuit ..With so much brooding over teenagers shudn get deadly medicines without consent and all..i wonder how the kid got hold of the acids!! "Are u trying to kill me kid?" "U Nutter!! Nut of the Nuts!! grape contains it..huh!!" now now..i feel lik kicking him black n blue. "Bro-Nut, (its ma new name..courtesy ma kiddie bro) wen human body is burnt or decomposes it releases phosporus and he writes an eqn &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Humanbody + bacteria--&gt; Phosporus + bacteria..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;should i commit suicide?? after reading the eqn i feel like living for some more time!! "listen Bro-Nut..phosporus is fertiliser." Aunt ranks the calling bell till ma brain generates 10Watts power..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;this calling bell should have been used by the cops to beat the shit out of criminals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;Wow!! dahi- vada!! its mungaru-male in ma mouth and jog falls in full bloom..i planning to have 5-6 vadas atleast.." MOM!! y do u feed me lactic acid everyday?" " I am ur SON!!" here goes ma bro again..ma aunt is aware of his flare for messing everything with chemistry.."shut up n eat!!" he makes a face(the one lik scarface) and eats..m happy!! I hog lik pig and m back in bed with this C++ book..need to clear the ass-e(a)ss-ment else m broke..companys policy!! He too comes n sits besides me ..he is writing page after page with both the eyebrows kissing each other and the sparks fly apart due to friction..i open a page with full of ungrammatical english,(),//,*/,{}, meaningless words ..and so on. fall sleep very soon dreaming of cuddling jessica alba..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;The electric shock!!! and m awake cursing him to hell.."Bro-Nut, H + O2 -&gt; H2O.. but how to get hydrogen peroxide??
