To Standby

Its not as if I write everyday.. But it gives me immense joy to post: "Going Off-line for 5 days.. In case of emergency please fly down to Cancun, Mexico and locate me on one of the beaches there.. "

On count of 3:

Late night music club with The Pixies

On the lines of Crooks and Liars here is an open thread in the style of The Pixies..

Sufficient Laze

Okay.. Title says it.. In spite of many things happening I have just been too lazy to write.. But at least I am happy to say that the reason or the thing that pushes me out of this slumber is listening to Bob Dylan on an amazing Friday afternoon.
I get a huge collection of Neil Young, CSN and CSNY bootlegs from a colleague along with a Neil Young In Concert compilation book, and I couldn't be listening to better music. Amazing day.

Here is that Zimmerman playlist:

More news at 11

Now here's a new segment you can start with absolutely no need to be creative yourself. Many a times before the 9'o clock sitcom or for that matter any other show, the local FOX channel gives you a one liner news trailer with the actual NEWS to be followed up at 11. Here's the one I heard tonight and one that I heard around 10 days back. (Hope I can this one a regular on my TV routine now..)

1> A man found dead at Pismo Beach. We know who died, but we dont know WHY? To know more watch the NEWS at 11.

2> A major earthquake expected in some parts of California. To know which place watch the NEWS at 11.

Now the only bummer was that, the same night Santa Barbara was hit by an earthquake of 3.2 magnitude. Thankfully I didn't need to stay up till 11 to find out which part.

Design Woes..

You really know that work is troubling you when you stop at a STOP sign for 2 minutes thinking its is a traffic light, because you are busy designing Grid Classes and their members in your head, and its only when the guy behind honks at you that you get back to reality.. Shit, I never thought I would see this day.. DAMN!!!!

Aaahhhh..

So I have been having a feast ever since Dhara has padharoed here for her Spring Break. I have to add "Baingan Bharta" for Sunday and "Daal Turai" last night. And both served with garma garam roti's. :) Now I generally do not brag about the occasional good feast. But when its 5 days in a row I gotta rub my eyes or write about it.

As an aside. I have been roaming around the office, in meetings and generally everywhere displaying my new found love for sticks. Drum sticks that is. I generally cannot keep the sticks down and have been fiddling with them trying to get the right grip and also trying to get all my limbs develop a mind of their own, independent from each other's movement.

Also a proof that your guilt plays games with you. The whole last week I gave a disappointing show trying to reach office on time (the best I could do was reduce the margin by 2 hrs as the difference between the time I wanted to reach office and my actual majestic arrival time). The result: When my Boss calls me up this Saturday afternoon around 11:30am, I pick it up and without waiting for him to say anything, go on a rant giving excuses why I am still not in office and that I am really sorry about missing the meeting and that I am ready and was just leaving the house in a couple of minutes. And all i got in response was this monstrous laugh from the other side. And when I summed up the courage (thinking he might have caught my bluff that I still was in the bed and not ready to leave for office as i said) asking him the reason for the laugh, he explained "It is Saturday and I called up to ask whether you were coming for a game of raquetball".. My response "In my dreams"

P.S: He called up on Sunday around noon to confirm if I was in the office or in my Bed.
