Movies Imitating Life or Vice Versa...

(Keeping up with my new trend of writing short and quick posts about whatever comes to my mind. Here goes another one)


Suddenly one day when you are sitting around doing nothing at all.. Chilling on another weekend watching a long list of movies downloaded from the internet (Illegaly), there comes around a movie about which you have never heard before, have no expectations from it what so ever.. and then it happens.. something clicks in place.
That EUREKA moment when you realize "WTF !!.. Did they make this movie on my life ?" How can real life be so uncannily similar to a movie.


This has happened to me more then once now, and the last time this happened... err.. actually its happening right now. I am watching a movie which seems to be inspired by my life, what's going on in my life right at this moment.. Its freaky.. So freaky that I have paused the movie and sat and started banging on my keys again writing this.


But one thing which I have noticed that although these movies imitate the real life, the end result which comes out is never the same.. Something or the other gets screwed up (either in real life or in the movie)...


I just got this weird idea.. what if we could choose which movie our life should imitate? 


What would be your choice of film which you would like to live through?
For me , I would probably end up choosing some sci-fi/fantasy epic (I am a sucker for those) .. or some sappy old love story..


Do let me know what movie of your choice you would want to live, in the comments below . (Although I am sure I am not gonna get any comments again).


Thats it for now..I need to get back to this movie I am watching to see how it ends.


P.S. : Don't ask me which movie I am watching. I don't want you to know whats going on with me.

Is Microsoft Word Dumb ?

For the past few weeks/months. I have transformed from using one Microsoft tool to another.


Previously I used to work in Microsoft .Net and SQL Server tools. But for the past many months I have been using Microsoft Word, writing great/giant/huge epics of Documents, which I am not sure if anyone even reads or not.


I must have ended up writing millions of words on white virtual papers and uploading these documents to Documentum for others to read and follow my instructions.
(How much of the instructions are followed is left to everyone's imagination)


This extensive use of Microsoft Word has led me to realize one thing. If you are using the Queen's English and using some heavy-duty words which do not make sense to the general public, then there is a great chance that those words do not make sense to MS Word as well.


Now as my avid readers can easily understand that I abstain from using these flowery words when I write for them on my blog, but when I write at work I have this habit of using exuberant words in technical documents. Maybe its my way of rebelling against the norms of Technical Writing which dictate "DO NOT THINK !!" . 


Its my way of bringing a little bit of flourish to the readers of my official documents and may be bring a smile to their faces (or force them to dig out a dictionary).


Now its this point of dictionary which has led to my growing hatred of MS Word. It doesn't understand many of the words I write and when my writers use  "Right Click > Synonyms" , it doesn't offer them any choices at all. 
In a way its a good thing as hopefully it would force them to dig out that dictionary/thesaurus (Yes these are actual books with pages in them)


Anyways.. its 8:15 PM and I need to get back to completing another one of those long never ending documents before tomorrow....

Dream On




The tune.. The guitar.. the lyrics.. Love em...

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life
Is in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
From sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away, yeah

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until the dream come true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laugh, sing for the tear
Sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away...

BRB : Change the Rules

I am starting a new Trend from today: During a conversation being carried out using IM, When someone needs to go for meeting/lunch/break etc etc (activities) which need more then 10 minutes. You need to say: "BBL" == Be back Later... Saying brb and going for more then 10 minutes is not acceptable.

Please take care to follow this new trend/rule/directions.

Exceptions: If you do not know while leaving that the concerned activity will take more than 10 mins. Then you are exempted/excused if you say BRB and are gone for more then (which then/than to use) 10 minutes.



More exceptions to be added as and when I see fit.

Leadership Rant

More the leader ship responsibilities more things people start blaming you for :S ...
But you should also follow the other mathematical corollary ...

The Amount of work done is inversely proportional to higher the rank/position held by the individual :D ..

(In Layman's term) . The Bigger the boss you are.. the lesser work you should do ;) ..

^^ And that completes my Noble prize winning theory for this month.. Please login at the same time next month for the next theory to change your life.. Thanks for your co-operation... and no thanks for you appreciation..and applause.. as I thoroughly deserved each and every bit of it :D
