Jump start!!!!!!

It's been two long years since I last posted anything worthwhile on this blog. Jump starting my blog is one of the main resolutions I made for 2008. So here I am, back again to jump start my blog. My reason for this long break... well I wish I could say that 'I found the remains of my home planet in space, and i just flew for 2 years to bring it back to earth and bury it'. I was lazy, I'm so lazy that I skip breakfast cos I have to heat up a cup of milk. So I guess that gives you a real good idea on how lazy I am. I was lazy so I didn't post anything on the blog.

So now what's changed during this two long years that I was lazy. Nothing much, I stopped playing badminton early in the morning, bought a Laptop, got this nut-case idea that I'd look smoking hot if I had a 'shaolin' pony tail, nothing much changed. Didn't grow a shirt size nor did I put on any weight. So that's it for the two years that you guys missed.

It's a new year and it's a new start, the past year had it share of happy and sad experiences.

2007 taught me that:

'It's very selfish on our part to expect the people we love and care about to be around. The only place that they will be with us for life is in our hearts. And the ones that really reflect the love that you have for them are the ones who call up and stay in touch'

'If you want to screw up a IT Project, just screw up at your requirement gathering phase, that will take care of the rest'

'Even Roger Federer feels like an ordinary man in Roland Garros. Gods do make mistakes'

2007 left behind these to remember:

• The trip to Sikkim and Nasik.
• Kimi winning the F1 Championship.
• Fedex Winning the Wimbledon.
• First day with my IPod.
• Laukik's Wedding.
• A Day in GIM and a Trip to Vasu's Jungle.

What am I looking forward to in 2008:

• Fedex to win the French Open, and that to beat Nadal at the Final.
• Kick-start a career in SFDC.
• To take the annual crusade International.
• Visit a whole lot of places in India.
• Peace and Good will on earth

So you guys can look forward to more posts from me, hopefully weekly. Wish you guys all a very happy new year. God Bless.

How can the human race survive the next hundred years?

Right now somewhere in India, Mumbai, there will be a family waiting for their loved one to walk right through the door, it’s been more than a day since she/he had left for work in the city… she/he has not come back yet… the hide the tension with prayers and self consoling one-liners “will come, where else would she go"… "might be stranded somewhere finding a way to get back home"… "god will watch over my child”. She/he normally takes the local train to reach back home. They saw this news on TV about blasts that took place in the local train, the train their loved one take to come home. The keep praying in hearts that nothing should happen to their love one, all the prayers and their faith in God all says that… she/he will walk right through that door… they keep waiting…

This would be the scene in not just one family in Mumbai, this would be the story of hundreds of other families. All these families would be living their own happy life yesterday, today and tomorrow, all it took was 7 blasts at regular intervals to throw their today and tomorrow off-balance.

Now there was a blast… it means somebody is angry, hurt, someone has been wronged… maybe somebody wants to make a point… but

Why a bomb blast? … Why on a crowded train? … Why hurt innocent people? …

I live in a country along with another billion of people like me… I’ve been angry, hurt… but I’ve never been angry to people that I don’t know… people that I’ve hardly seen… so if I’m angry… I’m angry with people that I know, or have come to know because of this incident that has caused me to be angry.

Why a bomb blast? … Why on a crowded train? … Why hurt innocent people? …

When I’m angry… I’ve been taught to count till hundred… it works sometimes… it doesn’t sometimes… but still… i wouldn’t hurt anybody that I don’t know… I would vent my anger or my pain on somebody that I just don’t know… ok… maybe it’s just me… but still….

Why a bomb blast? … Why on a crowded train? … Why hurt innocent people? …

It was a planned attack… it should have taken days to plan out something of this magnitude… You keep nurturing this small seed of anger… you plan on it, you come up with a horrendous plan to vent your anger… to cause more pain… to sow the seeds of anger in another. To vent your anger… there are new ways to do that… go on the net… publish stuff… let people know you are angry and that you have been wronged… go public, get on a TV show.

Why a bomb blast? … Why on a crowded train? … Why hurt innocent people? …

This was a really coward act, they did shake the whole of Mumbai, blast a few trains, these blast will never be loud enough to the ears of the people who really matter… the end result… devastated families… loved ones who’d never come back home… more disaster… more hatred…

So now the question, how can the human race survive the next hundred years?

This is a question posted by Dr Stephen Hawkings on Yahoo! Answers.

Get all people educated, educated not like ‘A, B, C…’ … ‘Science, Physics…’… and stuff. Teach all the people in the world, teach them to see people not on the basis of the color of their skin, the language they speak, the God they follow, the political party they belong to, the country they are part of, teach them to see all human beings alike, teach them you are no different from any other human in this planet. What we need is to live and let live, be thankful for this beautiful planet that we live in, take good care of it. This is the education that the whole world needs; this is the education that will save us. The education that might get us through the next hundred years and the other hundred years that follows.

Human race- To be or not to be?

Answer: (Wish I had one)

The Man of Steel returns

I saw Superman Returns yesterday; and I should say I really liked it. I’m so happy that Superman is back. To hear the Superman theme once again was like, bringing back all those childhood memories of days when you used to enact flying like Superman while trumpeting the theme song at the top of your voice.

Now about the movie, the story is quite good. They re-introduced the Man of Steel in a very nice and not so boring way. The Superman cape and suit is all pretty cool this time. The effects in the movie are quite good, could have done better but no issues. The Superman and his flying scenes was simply cool, I really like the scene where superman kind of meditates in space the cape and all floating- simply amazing scene. Brandon Routh is a really cool replacement for Christopher Reeves; he does looks like him in some angles.

Lois Lane is married and boy!... does that break the ‘Man of Steel’s’ heart. You’ll feel really sorry for Superman. The romantic side of Superman is re-visited again in one of those flying scenes with Lois. Superman seems to be very lonely in this one, there is this powerful sense of loneliness in his everything even his goofy portrayal of Clark Kent.

Maybe I’m biased in my opinion cos I am this big fan Superman; I loved this movie a lot. Loved the little surprise in the end, it’s a pretty cool movie, which all Superman fans will definitely love. The only little, minute thing that might be a sort of fault would be that Lex Luthor was not that great a villain in Superman Returns; they could have made his character pretty more scary and insane.

Superman is back and is here to stay that’s for sure. In his words ‘I’ll be always around’.

Superman- to be or not to be?
Definitely to be.
