Technology... Best use of it

Don't be shocked as to why the laptop is also getting ayudha puja done.. It is quite a mystery if you check this picture..

The person with the bare back is the priest chanting the shlokas and doing ayudha puja. The person leaning towards the cubicle with his hands folded is our company's Vice President Mr. Ramesh and the person having the laptop in his hands is our system admin. Mr. Jinesh.

The laptop's keypad was adorned with a flower and the puja of the laptop done! Then, it is being used as a video camera!!! Yes, you read it right.. a video camera!

This is a Toshiba laptop with a camera (for webcam purposes).... That was being used to record the Ayudha Puja and the recording was supposed to be sent to the US for one of our clients... Wah wah.. kyaa plan kiya hamare VP ne..

But that 10min recording got stored in the .avi format and the total size of the video file was 2.25GB!!! So much for a recording!!!

That was what i call "Optimal Usage of Resources!!!" he he he

What non sense..using laptop for recording video.. your office people couldn't arrange for a handy cam or something..?

And this whole making religion a public affair annoys me... why have these sort of religious activities at public places like office, educational institutions, hospitals etc where people from all religion pursue different aspects of life..

Thankfully I was on a vacation when my office did the Ayudh thing..otherwise I would have ended up having an argument with them..

We people of the majority always make it more and more obvious to the minority that they don't belong to us they are different.. always reiterating the 'us and them' divide.

Did we at the offices celebrate eid? We didn't but we have to do auydh...why? Coz Eid isn't ours...it's theirs...bloody hell

PS. the anger is not for you suksy..

NOTE: The retaliation is not towards you personally but towards your thoughts of minority and majority and abt "Indian" Festivals! :)

Secularism -- Majority and Minority

This post is not dedicated to anyone and is just a forwarded email which has been copied and pasted over here... and i am forced to assume that this is the truth! I had posted earlier on the same topic and here i go again! Talking abt majority and minority as a part of the comments in my previous post, i was forced to put this in points below: 1. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is secular,VandeMatharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular? 2. Why Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no-one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir? 3. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita in our schools? 4. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed? 5. If Muslims & C...

The Truth - "Kannada Barutha"??? Kannada barbeku!

"Kannada Barutha??", ah! I am sure most of you in Bangalore would have heard this, but what is "kannada barutha?" here it goes. Bangalore the IT capital of India , the silicon city and now a Metro city opened its gates to almost all kinds of people. Very evidently the recent poll census proved that there are only 47% of original inhabitants in Bangalore/bengaluru. The life style of the city has seen a gradual change with Pizza Corners replacing MTR's, classy eat out's replacing "Vidyarthi Bhavans" and flashy pub's replacing all our "Mahalakshmi wine shops". "Change is inevitable" from the days of BEML, HAL and BHEL to INFOSYS, WIPRO; Bangalore has a new look now on the world map. Gone are the days where a typical Sunday for any bangalorean was a nice romantic walk on the pavements of "LALBAGH...", "rave idli and coffee.." at the nearest yet old looking MTR and a wonderful Annavra film either at Santosh o...

Love or Infatuation

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love, on the other hand, is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows - one day at a time. Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity, you are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream. Love is the quiet understanding and mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real, it gives you strength and grows beyond you - to bolster your beloved. You are warned by his/her presence, even when is away. Long distances do not separate you. You want him/her near, but near or far, you know he/she is yours and you can wait. Infatuation says, "We must get married right away. I can't risk losing him/her." Love says, "Be patient, Don't Panic. He/she is yours. Plan your future with confidence." Infatuation...
