Themes of my Poems…

Nature, Sky, earth, air, rain, cloud used to be the themes for my poems, until I saw you.

Now its all just you and our love

You are beside me…

Rain Knows it can’t distract me…
Yet tries drizzling…You are beside me.

Mind Set & Self Belief

Two articles that I read recently struck a chord may be at the right time, way too random & columned under different genre, but I felt like picking what I needed from both of them and adding pinch of whatever I think makes sense to me at the beginning of the next day I’ve got to live.

When disbelief creeps in, the best thing to do is to believe, mostly in self, while not denying that other elements could be used as an additional aid to self belief.

What am I upto…

For those who are really very keen in knowing what I’m really upto…

For now, my trip to South Africa and nothing else as this involves everything.

Will keep posting…cheers…

Siv’s Dog now learns to chat on gTalk as well!!!

Siv was probably proud or rather annoyed about his dogs learning to open the door.

Now, I guess they have grown up, and becoming elite day by day.

Yes, it was a surprise that I got a message on gTalk from Siv and then speculated this couldnt be siv, even if he was so drunk.

 It wasn’t just anything else but the message I got. *grin*

I think its cos maybe one of them found it irresistable with the doggie image I had on my profile picture - Nothing else really could have attracted them - They hadnt met me yet.

I call up Siv to confirm that he was no where closer to the computer - and it explains it all.

Lots of catching up to do Siv - See you soon!

Microsoft Office XP Ad - Lameness to the core!

This is too good to be lame!

 Figured this ad on youtube and am wondering how lame this could be.

 No wonder they get cracked all the time!!!

All you script kiddies - Have fun!

For the rest of the world - here is a Office XP Key - I-4R3-50-L4M3-JU57-L|K3-M|(R050F7

Remote Executive Assistants

*whew* - I literally jumped off my chair when I had to read this - what on earth are we up to really?

But this is too interesting and an excellent avenue probably for the first time - I’m not too sure though.

Refer to Contact Industry Hub - South Africa & Brickwork - Bangalore

This is what Brickwork has to say…

Smoke Zones - Banished?

I’m wondering what is going to happen to smoke zones in offices - With the new amendment of law against smoking in public to be made effective May 2008.

Refer Times Of India’s Article for more statistics.

It is going to be pretty interesting…as I remember how some of the smoking co-workers were disheartened when several of the smoke zones were banned & reduced to few in my office facility. They literally lived it and it was a little too much of a nosy act, well they had no choice thats a different story altogether.

Now with this new act coming into picture, its going to be tough for the amount of people who smoke and who sell smoke.

India Rejects Microsoft’s OXML

Here is news from on EFYTimes & Economic Times on India’s BIS Committee Rejecting Microsoft’s OXML.

Now thats a good move against  monopoly & treacherous computing  by Microsoft and alike.

Please refer Richard Stallman’s  essay in Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard M. Stallman

Though there has been some amount of support that has been given by some of the Indian IT Giants, overall Microsoft had to take a slap on its face with this rejection that they were dreaming to be successful.

This rejection has lead to India voting against Microsoft’s OXML being  adopted as a standard by ISO.

I’m going to try and understand the stand of other countries that are members of the ISO in this issue.

Disgrace

Its sheer disgrace, at least in a country which boasts to believe in “Aditi Devo Bhava” ( Guests are supposed to be treated in par with gods) to have situations that crop up every now and then about tourists getting molested and abused.

It was Mumbai some NRI, then a British tourist in Goa, now  a German tourist in Goa again.

It certainly doesn’t give a good picture about Goa not for me at least.

Whom to blame it on and who is to bell the cat?
