-: Dreamer's Den! :-

This day, that year - 3 years back, god gave me a chance to play 2nd/3rd innings in life...This is the day i saw death in front of my eyes, death of my close friend... Now, its been 3 long years that he passed away but his memories are here to cherish it... Last year, on the 2nd death anniversay, i had blogged about this incident and here is the link: http://deepsworld.blogspot.com/2005/03/unfogettable-29th-march.html I once again pray god to give peace and courage to his family! Let his soul RIP... I miss u jetty babu....

This weekend was an awesome one...everything went fine as planned! After a long 6-7 years, i visited my dad's village 'Kalale', around 4 kms from the Nanjangud town, which in turn is 25kms from Mysore city. It is the time of the 10-day festival / Jatra in the village and saturday, 18th March 2006 was the day for the grand Kalale Rathothsava / Kalale Ther!!! Me and my cousin-bro started off from Bangalore on friday evening @ 1745hrs in his car...We took the banagalore-mysore highway, the new 4-lane road with a 2mtr divider in between the road making it one-way on either side! The road is awesome and you can move in breathtaking speed (we drove at the speed of 120-130kmph!!!) and i stongly feel this is the ONLY good job (on the infrastructure front) the government has done! :) Its the kind of worth the wait for this type of beautiful road...The most happiest person to drive on this road will be our good old KSRTC drivers, who would have gone thru hell for so long years...now,

Yesterday i finished reading this book 'The World is Flat' by Thomas L Friedman. I really appreciate the author for this fantastic information collection, from all around the world and putting it into papers! Especially i liked the part where he explains the Supply chain management of Walmart and Dell..This really rocks! :) India sure gets a good importance in the whole book; this is so nice to see and hear and read about my country and 'indirectly' to be part of the book is also good...hmmm...what i mean here is IT is the major talk becuase of which the World had become flat and India is put on the world map..Now, I being in this IT industry, will naturally be part of this right?? :)) On the same lines, i was thinking of how within India, the 'World had become flat'...India is part of the World flattening process and within India also, therez no exception...Sure that Intranation has become flat! :) For instance, i am working in a Indian MNC where i interact wit

Last week, i was called by my manager and asked me a small question that would affect me in a huge way! The small and simple question was: Are you ready to travel to Mumbai, for a project, for a period of 4-6months? Around 5 people are planned to be put into this project. This was a difficult question for me, as i am 50-50 for this oppurtunity. If I look from the Work perspective, as per the inputs from my manager and other concerned people, it is really good, where you go and study an existing system, get Knowledge Transfer from the client and come back to Bangalore and start that project by setting up a team. But the catch here is Mumbai...i would like to work in Mumbai but given my current situation where i have got a valid US Visa, i dont want to miss the oppurtunity that *may* come to me inline with my Visa! So, here is the dilemma, a 50-50 scenario for me...:( Finally, after discussing with my parents and applying some self-thought :) and leaving the things to god and following

After a long wait, i finally managed to see the much-awaited release of this year and the movie which is on the way to be a super-duper hit...yeah, am talking about Rakeysh Omprakash Mishra's, Aamir Khan starrer movie 'RANG DE BASANTI' (RDB) !!!! On saturday, me and my friend went to the Urvashi theatre (Balcony seat costs you INR 60/- only!!! This is awesome price compared to what the other guys, the INOX and the PVR charges you...INR 170/- and INR 150/- only, respectively!) to see this movie RDB, evening 1800hrs show! We got the ticket easily because i went and collected the tickets at 1545hrs itself! :) Finally the hour came where the film started, with a cool music... The movie is awesomely rocking!!! It keeps up the spirit, brings enthu in all... I personally felt this movie is a type of 'Old Wine in a New Bottle' but with a good and healthy message to the people! JUST DO IT attitude..:) I enjoyed a lot...Last year, at this time, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's
