The rains are here in Hyderabad


It just started to rain for 10 minutes and there goes the power at 10.31 p.m, what the hell do they expect us to do... sit in the dark...it really cheeses me off. I not only hear the raindrops but also the buzzing of the mosquitoes...even typing this blog is so difficult. Lucky for me I had just finished my dinner otherwise I would have to share my food along with the mosquitoes who succk on my blood. Well this blog is written under protest.

rains and loadshedding (that's what we called powercuts) were a familiar combo back in Kolkata, with mosquitoes adding to the spice-quotient!

But, to look at the brighter side, you have to endure only a week of this, right?

Now it looks like a little bit longer than a week based on new developments.

The power came at 3.10 a.m. this morning and I hope that this doesn't happen during the EURO2008 cup finals,then I would be really furious.......

I remember the last EURO football I was watching happily until quaterfinals and then the channel was taken off air as the Hyderabad cable operaters were illegally tapping the channel and they didn't pay up so I missed the Semi's and final.

Happy Birthday Post

Guess by now I would have collected one of those and it's like getting closer to "home" that is if you get my drift. Woke up pretty early in the morning and my son from Moscow wished me "Happy Birthday" on MSN chat and it was about 1.30 a.m. there (God knows what he is doing up so late). My wife just wished me ...... It's a sad day for me as I know I am getting older and nearer too....(should I say grave....) Here are some quotes that I spotted on the net and would like to share them with you, to at least cheer me up..... Emily Dickinson We turn not older with years but newer every day. Bill Clinton When our memories outweigh our dreams, we have grown old. Cherokee Expression When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice. Paul H. Duhn You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your des...

Writer's block

Seems like I am stuck on what to write and where is my tea to perk me up? I am sitting in my cabin at my office and wondering what I should write. So far nothing interesting happened to me as it has been work, work and work. I was appointed as a Director for one of our subsidiary as a corporate nominee from my company. But the catch is, I am appointed as a Director with all the liabilities minus the extra cash. Am I being foolish? I leave that as it is and now I have to unblock my writer's block. Come on ideas, flow. Looks like it is dried up and maybe I should meditate and something might creep in while I am in bliss meditating. But then again, meditating in my cabin is not a good idea as it would construe that I am sleeping on my job or they might think that I have turned into a zombie. Yeah, I got my trip to Hyderabad on 09.11.2008 approved by the Directors and I am going to be there to wind up my residence and office, I would be there for a week (aha...paid vacation). Well that...

LIQUID LIFE

H 2 O In an irony worthy a Greek tragedian, the first act in the drama of water crisis is going to be a global flooding. Global warming will result in a rise in sea levels as the glaciers and ice caps melt, thereby depleting the earth's crucial reservoir of clean, non-saline water Nilakshi Sharma Frogs are being wedded to frogs in elaborate; ritually correct weddings in Assam in an effort to appease Varun, the rain god, because there has been no rain in Assam in the past few months and the ground water is drying up. Quillagua, a Chilean city that holds the distinction of being the driest place on this earth, is dying a parched death. Their lifeline, the river is dying. What the water companies have not taken away, far in excess of what they were supposed to take, the mining companies have polluted to unsustainable levels. In Chamoli, Uttarakhand, the smaller glaciers have disappeared and the largest one has retreated by many miles. United Nations Development reports are warning...
