Suksy's Pensieve

Well, I had this conversation today morning with a colleague and was pleasantly surprised to know that he did not accept linked-in contacts with people who have invited him to be a part of their contact list coz he did not know them personally. IMHO, Linked-In and such professional contact websites are very useful for getting in touch with a probable business associate and you will be able to have a successful business relationship with him/her. I have this peculiar habit of not accepting friend requests from unknown people on Orkut. I should interact with him/her atleast couple of times, either through scraps or chat or phone. Only then, would I send a friend's request or accept one-- Be it a girl who has sent me the request or a guy. My colleagues have chided me many a time as to why I don't accept friend requests from unknown girls too.. and they would take the link of the profile and contact that girl just to have an online friendship with her. This will not lead anywhe...

What a beginning of the week this has been!!! I now have experienced what Life is all about... Sunday midnight, my sister got admitted to the hospital and while I was on my way to the office on Monday, I got a call from Mysore that I need to go there to the hospital for the delivery of my sister's baby. I inform my office folks and I ride down to Mysore just to note that she has not got the severe labour pain that is required for a normal delivery and the doctor has decided to wait. Me and my mom waited for 6 hours and then, @ 19:10, she was blessed with a baby boy. But due to some complications, the baby was retained in the Neo-Natal ICU and my sis was sent to the ward. The baby was given to us only the next morning i.e., Tuesday Morning by 9 AM. After spending just one hour with the baby, I started towards Bangalore and came directly to my office, thinking that I'll go home directly from office after completing my office work. Life made it otherwise.. I got a call last ...

A friend of mine has this status message in his Gtalk: "There is some self interest behind every friendship, There is no friendship without self interest. This is a bitter truth" I feel that the poor guy has realised this the hard way coz he is proclaiming the same to his world of friends! Recently, I had this chat conversation with a friend in which she evidently wanted to point out that I am not a saint as I claimed.. Well, I never claimed that I am a saint. I have been having the thought of being EGOISTIC and Selfish from quite a long time, even b4 I met her! My Orkut profile too contains about my EGO and I have been quite frank to admit that I am not a saint! She also pointed out that in each of my blog post, there will be a gesture towards her and for the people who are common friends, they will come to know that I am pointing to her only.. Well, It was happening all these days coz I had thought she was a friend and not anything else.. But she is trying to clarif...

My weekend begins in a different way and ends in a completely different manner than the way it begins. This is happening from the past quite a few weeks! Saturday saw me rushing here and there and I was busier than a normal working day. I went to a cousin's house, picked him up and then, went to Cauvery theater to book tickets for Taare Zameen Par's Matinee show. Then, dropping him @ the theater, I rushed to Kanakapura Road which is almost the other end of Bangalore and completed my tasks there. After that, I returned to another cousin's house, and together we managed to reach the theater by 1415 and entered the theater by 1425.. 3 mins b4 the movie started!!! From the movie, for the first time in 6 years of staying in Bangalore, I went for a Saturday evening visit to Brigade Road. Went around searching for one cap and walked almost for three kilometres around Brigade Road, MG Road, Residency Road and Commissariat Road, just to end up without the hat and with a lot of...

The year 2007 was quite a change.. some might call it a refreshing change but I call it just a change which made me undergo self-realization and brought about a lot of changes in me. My thinking became more matured which startled quite some people and am sure this would startle more people this year! My first feeling was that I'd give a Month on Month analysis of stuff that happened but then, Month on Month analysis is impossible coz there were so many events that took place and I am sure I do not remember every event! Lemme categorize this into a few headers: 1. Responsibility: Became a good son.. took more responsibility of taking care of my family and catered to mom's needs, guessed mom's wishes and took her out on trips, started socializing with people whom I felt I could socialize coz that was one huge complaint of mom that I was always into a recluse, Took care of mom's Osteoporosis, at the same time, managing to spend time my way and managed to walk the thin line...
