Looking into the horizon

Today morning I was conversing with my roomie. He told about the infosys HR guy who killed his wife. I am seeing such news often. Though, the reason for this cause-célèbre is very personal, the reports about it attach the organization for which the person is working for. Job has become an identity in our society and is an indispensable aspect in the perception about a personality. Today, I googled "wife murder" and below are the results I got. Another article that I read yesterday brags IT employees'  friday groove . In 1980s, during my childhood days, there was a guy in my neighborhood who was working as a teacher in a state government school. He was skilled in hindi and music. He used to run private hindi and music classes and was very popular in our area. We used to call him "Hindi Sir". His mainstream job was never part of the label attached to him. We know him as a person who runs hindi tuition. I believe he did that with passion, got famous and hence e

Foradian Technologies  have released the new font which has the rupee symbol with the " ~\' " key. Here is a screenshot! The symbol looks great!!

The Lampard denied goal ( in the match England Vs Germany ) is creating ripples. We have also started arguing the moral boost that England missed because of the denial. England certainly started feeling the need for speed after they were two goals down. They started their attack and the best part of the game was those 25 odd minutes when suddenly England started to pull things back. But, Lampard's strike was denied and his face reflected the sorry figure of the entire hope. I always loved how our director  puts his words. What defines a person is not what the person can, or cannot do. What defines a person is what the person can do, but chooses not to do. I heed on the views of decision makers. So, I wanted to know how FIFA president reacted for the refereeing mistakes.  His words as I felt are very sharp deeply reflecting on the subject. I deplore the obvious refereeing mistakes we have seen. I understand the teams concerned are unhappy. I have personally said ‘I apologise fo

I am fond of football and Italy is my favorite team. I remember the days when I watched Salvatore Schillaci and  Roberto Baggio. Baggio was my favourite italian player in my school days. And he is my favourite till date. I remember my class twelfth supplementary reader book covered with the sportstar wrapper featuring Baggio. I watched the penalty shootout which he missed in 1994. I loved his Goatee a lot. Those were my early football days. I used to collect the cards given with bubble gums. And we used to trade for getting  cards  of  the famous players. Diego Maradona card was one of the rarest!! We loved him really. This year I am betting on the following players. Lionel Messi - for his left footed tackling. Steven Gerrard - cho chweet... so cute.. Fabio Cannavaro - for his water tight defense. Fernando Torres - for his speed Gianluigi Buffon - Goal keeper! He keeps them all his way!! David Villa - if it is a striker then he will be my man. (Somehow he gets my attention w

Having read this , I have some questions. How the hell the US scientists and so called Prof. J Alex Halderman was given access right to the voting machine? What are they trying to prove especially by tampering the Indian voting machine? What Deputy Election Commissioner, Alok Shukla is trying to defend especially the hack has been announced in public? Shouldn't it be considered cross border terrorism?

I have recently shifted to Bangalore. Another friend of mine is supposed to shift to Bangalore in a month or two. We have made an agreement to stay together at Bangalore. So, for the time being, I decided to stay with one of my ex-colleagues. My mobile bill has skyrocketed in the past one month with all the roaming stuff I did. Having done that, I wanted to get a new mobile postpaid connection. My company is situated in outer ring road and is bit remote. In our working premises, only one service provider has the network coverage (Alas! Please inform Dr. Obama that being bangalored also has few hidden operating cost :| ). So, I was left with no other option. I went to the service provider and applied for new postpaid connection. The executive asked a residential proof and photo-id proof. I submitted photocopies of my passport and PAN card. The executive asked me the local residential address and my office address. I informed them that I have shifted to Bangalore recently and I am in
