Same old applications, same old test cycles, same old repeating issues, same old StarTeam to log those issues. Waiting for the new version of the application and also new issues in them.

Need a break, desperately.

I always believed there were two kinds of men in the world. Men who go to death screaming and men who go to death in silence. Then I met the third kind...
Watching a movie more than once in a theatre - that's one thing I haven't done much (or was this the first time?). But this movie, Ranga De Basanti - well better watch movie instead of reading my comments. :)
Wonderful performance by everyone, but accolades goto the southern lad, Siddarth. And also to Kunal and Sharmaan. I had seen this movie on first week of its relaese. Y'day was the second time.
Well, if you haven't seen this movie and need a company, call me ;)

Talking about change, came across this beautiful quote by Benjamin Disraeli
"Change is inevitable. Change is constant."
And also this one by Albert Einstein
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

A forwarded mail -
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other. - Douglas Everett To do great things is difficult; but to command great things is more difficult. - Friedrich Nietzsche Happiness is not a station you arrive at, but a manner of traveling. - Margaret B. Runbeck Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. -Soren Kierkegaard And in the end it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. - Abraham Lincoln How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. - George Washington Carver What happens to a man is less significant than what happens within him. - Louis L. Mann Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action. - Benjamin Disraeli After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box. - Italian Proverb

Changing the template of my blog was one long pending work. Finally got this. Once template was ready, started searching for the banner pic. After 10 minutes of searching, cropping the image, adding text and last moment fine tuning, here it is. Thanks Blogger Templates for the template. Let me know how does it look ?? And thanks Ananth, for your valuable suggestions ;)
My Autograph After working on a saturday, it was a well spent Sunday. The day started at noon (remmeber it was a Sunday ;) Hoping to get tickets, we (with Raghu) arrived at Nanda theatre around 12.45. Luckily, got the tickets for 1.15 show. The lead role also the director, Sudeep, has done a wonderful job in this movie. Though remake, this movie stands apart from other maccu-long movies. Forum Finally. Yes, I visited this so called happening place in Banaglore, 'The Forum'. As expected, I was disappointed by such a crowd. It's really a hell out there. I feel the Spencer's @ Chennai was far better. Sigh, I miss those wonderful days in Chennai. :( The Chronicles of Narnia Only happy thing was, I found my good old pastime place - The Landmark and that lovely books section. I spent a good one hour inside over there. And bought a book, The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of seven fantasy novels written by C.S. Lewis. Started with the book, so far looks interesting.
