My best friends wedding. No it's not a typo

I can see what's happening

(What?)

And they don't have a clue

(Who?)

They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line

Our trio's down to two.

(Oh.)

The sweet caress of twilight

There's magic everywhere

And with all this romantic atmosphere

Disaster's in the air

Yup I can totally related to Timon and Pumba now with this song. Well if you like it you can catch the whole song here.It's been 4 years since I've know these two guys, Vasu and Anurag. We worked for the same project for a whole two years then again on our next project for another two more years. Lot's of stuff happened in between. Now these college sweet-hearts are getting married. OK, so what's there to worry.

It all began with these guys looking for a place to settle down for their happily ever after. By the way just to give you guys a context. We stay pretty close by, walking distance from my place. Now these guys go and find a place, in some far away galaxy. I'm not denying the fact that it's a pretty wicked place, with the kitchen facing a mangrove and all, like Vasu liked. But hellooooo!!!!! It's friggin miles away from where I stay.

As the Godfather would say 

"Just when I keep finding a place close to these guys. They keep moving to a place far away from me"

Now for the ones who still don't find this scary, here's a little bit about the trio. We totally make a great team, they like me, I love them allot. We go for movies together, we go on road trips together. We are a team, now after these guys get married, that is it for me. They upgrade themselves to husband and wife and it's all gonna change from then on. They move to the new place. They get new friends, new neighbours in their fancy apartment. They go out with their new friends. I'm scared that, they'd never need me again.

Oh Bijou! grow up, it's not gonna happen. Well I certainly do hope so, not that I'm sad that they are getting married n all. I'm like totally happy for them. I'm the most happiest in the whole wide world to see them finally get to their happily ever after. I just can't digest the fact that, I'm only gonna have guest appearances in their happily ever after. Maybe it's the whole distance thing you know, with them moving really far away.

Come on... in FRIENDS,  when Chandler got engaged he moved in next door with Monica. He didn't ditch Joey and move some place far far away. See that's what friends do, I know, they are mean and un-friendly now. OK mean and un-friendly was a bit too much.

A lot's gonna change I guess, post their marriage, but no matter what I know that, if ever they need me. I'll always be there for them. And sure they will need me, well I don't know how they'll need me but I foresee baby-sitting as a major need. Yeah, I'm good with kids, kids dig me. Do they know about that, maybe I should tell them.

Still I so hope they didn't move so far from my place. Not to mention that would mean, no more free yummy food at Vasu's place.I'm just over reacting, at least that's what I say to myself. Well they will need me, and I'll sure get some guest appearances, but I'll sure make it some real good memorable guest appearances. So, as far as the trio is concerned, to be or not to be. Definitely a to be (damn where's that mail van when you wanna see one).

By the way the wedding's in Jodhpur on 24th of November.

 

ScribeFire- blogging addon for firefox

Well I'm one of the few million IT professionals banned from blogging on Blog sites like Blogger and Wordpress. Just when you thought all hope is lost here come ScribeFire for Firefox. It's got this cool GUI that gets integrated with Firefox and enables you to write a blog and post to the Blogger and all major blogging sites using their APIs. Integrated spell check, and other formating options built into the GUI lets you draft your post like you would be drafting in you favorite blogging platform. So this is my first ever post using ScribeFire for Firefox

Now preview in Google Reader

Ok, Google is on definitely on steroids, not only are they chugging out ways to deploy your web application on the Google infrastructure, they are releasing cool stuff for their existing applications. I'm talking about Google Reader and the new 'Preview' Feature which lets you preview your feeds now within your favourite feed aggregator.



Now you don't have to worry about managing multiple tabs, closing multiple windows. I think it's gonna be a cool feature. Would like check it out if it the preview feature bypasses the website blocks in offices, like for example Technorati sites are totally blocked at my workplace. So i'll check it out tomorrow and update the post. I'm kinda worried if those Firefox add ons for del.icio.us works fine to bookmark my favourite feeds with this new preview feature.

You can still save your feeds by adding a star to your feeds in Google reader. But the starred items feature stll doesn't let you tag your feeds. I guess that's something that Google can work on next.

Preview feature to be or not to be... well... let you know after i check this feature in office :)

Update: Well it turns out that the above new feature has nothing to do with Google. It's my biggest online goof up. The preview feature comes with installing the 'Better GReader Firefox extension' by LifeHacker. I think I shouldn't elaborate anymore, I will leave you guys in peace to laugh over this. I'll try not to make a habit out of this.
