My closest nonhumans !
Posted by Spectator as Me-Myself, random
Since the day i am left alone in my apartment, all super-natural things have started happening around me. Most noticed one is one ullu (an owl) has started visiting my kitchen window. (btw, i searched for owl on google and i got this link: Rhona Mitra !!! ) not the one in this pic. but Kishorilaal is equally scary. (Kishorilaal is the name i gave to that ullu. he looks somewhat like a character from old Amitabh Bachchan’s movie, Kishorilaal Seth). Okay, i dont mind anybody landing at my place for a night stay, i am really kind hearted person. but Khishorilaal is not at all in a mood of friendly stay. imagine, you are sitting in your room at 2 in night with no other light than semi-bright laptop screen. curtains are flying up and high till the middle of the room and trying to reach the fan. (i wonder my curtains were never that long, but they look sooo long and wide when they r bouncing in room). hardly there’s some voice from outside. You are dead drowned in a murder report and kinda scared too. in all this scary situation, you hear a freaky atrophied laughter hhhheeeeeehhheeekkkk hhhhheeeeeehhhheeeeeeeeekkkk from your kitchen !!! shocked, frozen and frightened you slowly walk in your kitchen, locate the switch and turn the lights on. You see an owl with garbled gray hair and eyes with infinite depth and monastic personality sittin in your window who’s making those eldritch laughter sound !!! he had his neck turned at least 270 degree in vertical plane and his body was like someone wearing an over coat doing detailed analysis of a crime site !
As any other normal human, i tried some defensive moves like i tried to shoo him off but he had decided to continue his act and he didnt move at all. i threw something towards him and he flew away. good. i turned off the lights n came back to room. i continued reading for another two three page and again those voices started. i reached the kitchen back n again he was there !!! i made some paper fliers and threw to him to poke his eyes !!! i missed two three shots and like he laughed at each every try. and he was too large with sharp claws so i didnt try to reach him. and he took the full benefit out of it. since that day, he has started visiting my window regularly. now a days i am leaving my laptop on with some music so that i dont have to listen to his laughter !!!
okay, this aint the first ullu i have encountered in my life. In my hostel days, there was a tree behind my room and there was another tree in front of my room. I was on first floor so the top or middle-top part of the tree was aligned with my door and window. There was an owl-nest on that tree and that was almost in front of my window. As there were two young ones of that ullu in that bird-house, i assume it was a female ullu. We will call her Kavita (in memories of a beloved Lab Assistant from EEE department of NIT Trichy. Noooo, she aint dead ! she’s still alive torturing innocent students out there.) Ya, so Kavita wasnt that irritating and scary and all. She had white hair and was too lazy. I never saw her out of her nest, though, spotting her nest was kinda difficult as it was surrounded by highly dense leaves. I didnt know about her presence when i was allocated that room. that was my first night in there and very few people had reported to hostel, as there were few more days for semester to start. Hardly there were two three guys in my wing. I was busy enjoying the Kaaju-Barafi i had brought from my home and suddenly i heard some calling voice Shhhhhhuuuuuhhh shhhhuuuuuhhhh…! i thought, must be some guy from around so closed the sweet box, kept it back in the closet and opened my door, but strange there was none outside !!! i closed the door and heard the same voice again, i looked outside but again, there’s none !!! i tried to re-collect if i had heard any horror stories bout Topaz hostel before ! i pulled out a torch and beamed it outside the window right on the tree and damn !!! there were two small green eyes bright and shining !!! but good that i found out the secret on the very first day itself. i decided not to tell anyone around as there were a few guys left to come and it was their turn to be scared :D and Kavita kept waving those sounds for another two years !!! in fact, after some months, her young ones also added some in that. and about the door side tree, well. there was a huge crowd of honey bees. but unlike other sort of honey bees, these ones never believed in building up a house for them. (i dont exactly know what is the technical term for their house). They were all awara sort of honey bees, never lived a social life like other honey bees. they all believed in living one day life, never cared for tomorrow !
From bird side, there was another one, a crow i came across once. His name is Ahmed Pathaan and i already have told you people enough about him. I personally like sparrows, they’re small enough to fit anywhere. And they’re so crazy about flying ! if you see carefully, every time they’re flying, they fly like they have no idea where the hell they are going !!! yaaaa, how did i forget, i had a huge ant army residing in my desktop key-board. They loved living there coz once i spilled one bottle of beer on my key-board. They screwed up my key-board big time and i had to buy a new one. one of those ants gave me quite a bad time once. I have already stated that ant story here. Thank god that ants are not so huge like elephants, otherwise they would have created a disaster everywhere around !!! I have encountered a few dogs too. There’s one dog in my street, we have named him raamlaal coz he looks like old family servants with poor face. I was on a trip with colleagues a few months back and someone clicked a pic of a dog there. That dog has got gorgeous looks !!! wait, i have a pic of him. He resembles Mallika Sherawat at times. Otherwise dogs in my college were not at all good looking. They were crazy about chocolates and had exactly opposite thing for any food from college mess. (see, we had to eat such a food that even dogs hate to give a damn !!!)
There are a few cats as well in this compound. To be precise, six. We have named one of them as Kamala Devi, other five are Kamala Devi 2, Kamala Devi 3, Kamala Devi 4 etc… my fav among them is Kamala Devi. She is a very unusual cat. Other cats love to climb trees and walls, but this one is crazy about climbing my bike !!! everyday morning i have to kick her ass to get her off my bike… and she really doesnt know how to cross the road ! everytime she has to cross the road, she has to give at least five trials. and sometimes even after giving those many trials, she completely gives up her plans. i have personally observed that she doesnt like other cats. she never mingles with them. keeps sitting alone in a corner and probably keeps thinking what crap her life is ! she could have been anything but a cat !!! sometimes, i’ve seen her chewing green leaves too ! typically in early morning. i think, she believes in brushing her teeth time to time. she’s unusually fat and round, or may be she hasnt been for a hair cut since a long time. normally, they all are cute and mostly not trouble making. but sometimes, they all cry like hell !!! typically in night and that too, when it’s raining ! Cats have typical style of crying like a human baby crying. imagine how scray it will be when you have three four cats crying outside your room in middle of the night !!! n ya, even they are crazy about chocolates. everytime i throw a chocolate, they all fight a lot for that.So apart from these all, i have a lizard in my house, with semi transparent milky skin. She has an ajeeb figure, from top to bottom 1 CM !!! no where it’s varying ! even her tail is too short. I have named her Sangeeta (again, in memories of a beloved Research Associate of EEE department of NIT Trichy.) Other than these, i dont have any pets, but i am planning to buy one. probably a camel or a donkey. I will name him as NAG, my department HOD. will never let him enter my home, neither i ll give him anything to eat. in fact, i ll paint him with fluorescent green color and put him in exhibition !!! with his name plate hanging around his neck.

Nothing

(alright, i used two screenshots here just to fill in space, as i said, there’s nothing to write !)
So, where were we? ya, i m sooooo silent since more than 24 hours. no, i didn’t sing songs in bathroom as i haven’t had bath since that evening. it’s weekend n u r supposed to act like lazy… so i slept a lot. slept so much that when i got up, i felt like so tired of sleeping and i slept again. Things were so messed up in room so i thought of re-aranging them but it will be hard to find them back if they’re in places they’re supposed to be so i gave up that idea. infact, i detached all possible parts of my laptop and fixed them again just to kill time. i watched six episodes of Byomkesh Bakshi and tried to solve his mysteries before he does. i tried to sketch some 2D cut outs but didnt work out much. i installed one audio mixer software and tried to compose some electronic music but i aint good there either. The apartment feels so haunted when you are alone so i didnt try any horror movie. but all freaky scenes started coming in mind !!! i logged on to gtalk so that if someone with mic is online, but sad, there’s none.
yaaa, i remember, i laughed a lot while watching this video. this girl is hilarious !!! she is laughing at a video of a guy who is actually laughing at another guy who’s laughing at a guy in a tv show who’s laughin at someone else !!!! it’s like chain of ppl laughing at the back-linked one. so sit back, watch it and laugh !!!
(alright, earlier i said one girl n now there are two videos. Even this kid is sooooo cute !!! just listen to what she’s saying :))
and probably, this is the first time i thought a lot about nothing. ok, not a lot, but i thought something about nothing. nothing, null, empty, vacuum, black everything fall under same catagory. btw, dont you think vacuum spelling is kinda ajeeb? There are two ‘U’s !!! (ya, those single quotes are needed coz without them, ‘U’s will become Us and that is something like WE waala us… see, i am trying to make it as perfect as possible. even in this template, there’s one extra pixel gap between the vertcial dotted line and the left-bar. someday, i’ll fix that bug and this statement will become invalid. and ya, currently this template is not working for firefox and i’ve no idea why !!! i am yet to fix that.) Haan, toh i thought a lot about nothing. Nothing is nothing but non-existance of anything. so if we see in absolute terms, nothing means nothing. but in relative terms, nothing can be considered nothing with respect to something. So it’s something what decides if nothing is really nothing or it is actually something ! coz if something is too large in amount then nothing is really nothing. but if something itself is so less (very near to nothing) then nothing is not nothing but it is actually something. So here i derive my own definition of nothing and that is: When there is something what can not create any physical, logical, psychedelic, economical, political, social or any other impact on anything, then it is called absolute nothing. And as far as relative nothing is concerned, it is nothing or something that depends upon how large, how big, how huge is something. alright, no more thinking. my mind is already mothered coz of XML !
so basically, i wasted as many hours as possible and still have no clue when my maun vrat is gonna end. I am sleepy now, so good night morning to you all. let’s see who breaks the silence.

Let’s sketch !
This is a simple chracter building pic. basically, u r deciding how many motion points are available in each character to alter their mood/expression. for an example, in above pics, the motion points are: eyes, shap of lips, gap between legs and that’s it… everytime u need them to express something different, just keep altering these positions. okay, stop staring at her #@@#$ !!! ;)
Now, in this one. u can easily figure out who was waiting outside and who is coming with what. not only that, given the crossed legs of girl n shy but happy eyes of her, explains she wouldnt have appreciated anything else more than this !!!
ok here, the spaceship is leaving towards the earth, so it’s pretty clear that they’ve just landed on moon. ya, it’s moon and that u can figure out from the name of spaceship. n diamond ring and candle says it’s a date… the happiness on their faces adds more to it.
now, here by looking at that female’s eyes n size of her stomach, u can guess she’s pregnant n needs medical attention. n by looking at that idiot playing with toys, u can believe it’s all his mistake !!! btw, the chinese name i used just to make fun of those chinky ppl :D
well, here, if see. all the graves are plain except one. the one with red cross. now, u would have observed by now that somehow that red color is always attached with this couple. and hence, even though it is not mentioned, its kinda clear that this grave with red cross belongs to that woman. n the newspaper explains it was all coz of a planecrash. n ya, notice the eyes n lips of the guy.
okkaay, in this last one. It’s moon outside the window and clock says its 2:20 and hence it’s midnight. too technical. there’s vodka aside, night lamp is turned on, half of the bed is empty and one pillow is unused. guy’s face is frustrated. one other stuff here is, if u see carefully, still her fav color red is used at places. that means the girl was kinda dominating in all house-hold stuff.
fine, that’s it. i m not a professional so dont know much funda… hope, i ll come up with some new sketches very soon. so taa taaaa.

Luck or No Luck
Posted by sundarrajan.g.s as Personal, luck, random, thoughts
This happened sometime back… I was trying to book tickets to go to Trichy.. to attend an alumni meet..
On 30th April, I called up the KSRTC office to check if they have tickets for the 1st May..
The office boy verified his system and told that he had only 2 or 3 tickets.. that too.. only for Non AC - semi deluxe bus.. Everything else was fully booked..
Below Google Office, we had 2 ATMs.. I went there.. One of the ATMs was out of order.. At the other ATM, they were loading cash.. So the security guy told me to come after 1 or 2 hours..
Tickets to Trichy in semi deluxe costs around 450 rupees to and fro.. I usually carry so much money.. But on that day, I didnt have so much cash in hand.. So, I called up the KSRTC office.. asking him.. if he accepts card.. The guy told no.. Then I asked him, if I can block tickets.. and pay later.. He told that he doesnt have that facility.. He told me that there were 4 atms.. near the booking centre.. And I can go there and withdraw cash..
So.. I went to the shop.. He showed me the routes to 4 different ATMs..
I tried withdrawing cash in SBI, syndicate bank atms.. But they didnt accept my card… They accept only master card and mine was Visa.. Then, I went to Axis Bank atm, but this ATM was under repair..
Oh man.. I desperately wanted ticket.. And now I am such a pathetic state.. I went to another ATM in the opposite direction.. Even that didnt accept VISA..
Oh my god.. Whats happening.. I have to attend alumni meet.. And I am just unable to withdraw cash.. And there are hardly any tickets left..
I speak to that guy.. He says he cant do anything till I give him cash..
I had no choice.. But to return back..
When I went to office, I asked my friend Selvam, if he has some cash.. for booking tickets.. He asked me how much I wanted.. I told him that I wanted around 400 bucks..
Selvam told.. “Oh only 400.. I can give you right way”.. He opened his purse… only to find out that he hardly had hundred rupees on that day..
Selvam said.. “I always carry atleast 500 bucks.. But only today I dont have cash..”
Then Selvam asked me.. “Why are you going to trichy?”
I told him.. “I am going to attend this alumni function.. They are giving awards for distinguished alumni of NIT Trichy.. I want to interact with them and interview them if possible.. ”
Selvam asked me who are these seniors.. I told him to open the NITT website..
We opened the website together..
I read the first few lines of the page.. I found out that the event was on May 3rd and not May 2nd…
I heaved a sigh of relief..
Oh God!! Was I denied access to cash from all these sources.. only to avoid booking ticket on May 1st???
I should have ideally booked ticket for May 2nd.. Probably all these hindrances were only for a CAUSE..
I dont know if I should call this a “Luck”…..
What do you say?? Luck or No Luck??

Let’s drive the truck
Now, the guy who knows how to drive the truck, secretly knows how to start the truck. He goes to the smart ass and suggests that the other guy, who knows how to start the truck is not required. The smart ass thinks that this guy already knows how to start the truck and how to drive the truck is very risky for his top position, coz once the truck will reach the destination, next time he’ll know everything, where to go, how to go ! so he puts the other guy (who knows how to start the truck) on top of him. The other guy (who knows how to start the truck) is already frustrated coz he doesnt know how to drive the truck, neither he knows where to go. However, the smart ass shares the destination with this guy so that he can influence him to keep fighting with the skilled-most driver. Thus, he secures his top level position.
Now, The truck has started. The guy who started the truck is no more required. He’s just a burden on the truck. but, he islolates smart ass from the driver. Lot of people who were hired earlier have embarked the truck and they’re added burden on the truck. They have no idea what is there in the truck, they have no idea who is driving the truck, they have no idea where the hell the truck is going. They are just enjoying the ride, and feeling happy about getting paid. Infact, they have crowded the truck so much that nobody is able to see who’s driving the truck and who’s sitting idle.
After a while, truck reaches the destination. Smart ass sends a command to driver to stop the truck and he jumps out. The guy who knows how to start the truck joins him blindly as he was already told by the smart ass that this is our destination. The people on the truck, who were nothing but a burden, jumps from the truck coz the smart ass and his followers just did. The guy, who was driving the truck all the while, is confused why the hell truck is stopped here. He places the truck safely aside and comes out from the truck in last. But by the time, the crdit of bringing the truck to the place two safely, is already given to the smart ass and other ppl coz they were the first ones to be seen from outside.
Now there comes the payment time. The smart ass starts distributing the cash among the group. The guy who knows how to start the truck is paid highest amount coz he know very very important function (okay, that was on paper, actually he was paid maximum coz he always took smart ass’s side and he kept his secrets.) Rest of the people, including the driver are paid the same amount. The driver claims that he did all the work, and he knows all the functions (how to start the truck, how to drive the truck) so he should paid almost equal to the same guy. The smart ass moves him away by saying that he is supposed to drive the truck. He doesnt need to bother about how to start the truck, coz that knowledge is not expected from him. Neither he was the first one to fall in actual receiver’s feet.
Our frustrated skilled driver furiously runs away from this truck transport agency when he comes to know that all the time, he was bringing nothing but gold. and all he got paid is just a bloody truck driver’s salary.
He goes to another truck driving agency and this time, he plays safe. before, taking the contract of driving the truck, he puts two conditions. (1) he’ll start the truck and he’ll drive the truck. (2) the agency will have to let him know wat’s there in the truck, according to that, he’ll charge for the driving job. The agency let’s him take care of everything. They told him the destination, they told them there is gold in the truck. they paid him according to gold. When he reached the destination with truck, the actual receivers of the truck laughed at him, coz he was paid the gold amount but actually there were diamonds in the truck !!!
So our driver is saturated with frustration now and he decides not to drive the truck anymore. He opens his own truck driving agency and decides to play the smart ass from now on.
This is exactly the way IT industry works !

Leaving Google!
Posted by sundarrajan.g.s as Personal, last day, leaving google, random
Hey Guys..
I dont know where to begin.. how to begin.. But the fact is.. “The Day” has arrived.. Well today is my last working day at Google..
Will people ever leave Google also????? I really cant believe that such a day is happening in my life..
In my final year B Tech, I had an interview for the “Outstanding Student of the Batch”.. I was asked “what are your career plans?” Ofcourse, I had never heard of that word “Career” then.. I told them.. “I am going to join Google.. Work for a year.. Do an MS, and join Google again!!!” I was soo short sighted then! I certainly couldnt foresee.. I would be leaving Google!
Time flies.. Its 2 years since I joined Google!.. Right out of campus.. And it has been an eventful journey!! Right from the time.. I started off working with Rohit… All the way to my last project with Tushar & Pranav.. Work & life with Google has been a pendulum for me.. The pendulum has swung.. Trust me.. the pendulum was wild.. I had “extremely happy moments”.. I thought Google is my life.. I wont need a second job.. I was super happy with my work.. my performance.. And more importantly, the way my manager evaluated my performace Wow.. Those were the days!!! Then.. pendulum swung the other way.. It swung soo badly that I almost had a depression.. (No more details here.. :-)) And finally by the time, I completed my 2 years @ Google.. It came back to Normal!!! On the whole, I had an “6/10″ experience @ Google!
During my two years @ Google.. I interacted with a lot of people.. I worked with guys like Amit Singhal and Krishna Bharath.. These are people who have wiki pages.. (I would also eventually have one.. But thats a different story!! ;-)) I am sure.. I wouldnt have such opportunities in other companies..
If there is one amazing person, I met in the whole journey.. It is undoubtedly.. Sreeram Ramachandran.. He is just too good.. I will certainly emulate the way he keeps himself updated, the way he helps others… He is so accessible and helpful.. Unbelievable..
I made a lot of new friends.. news-quality team was more a like a family.. How can I forget the “flames with Mahesh!”
I also enjoyed my real *journeys* in cabs.. I would have probably spent close to two months discussing how to solve bangalore traffic woes.. with Narendra Babu.. And everyday.. Narendra used to shoot down my ideas! Travelling with Varun was fun as well.. Watching all the latest movies.. discussing about the “NEXT BIG THING” for CWS.. It was all fun.. Aditya is another cool guy whom I met after I started CWS.. He is always full of bubbly ideas.. which is very useful for coffee time discussions.. How can I forget my TT sessions with Gerard!! That used to be soo awesome.. We always start off with an agreement that we will “Only play best of 3″ matches… But we would eventually end up playing 15 games.. Half of those.. I would have forfeited when the scores read 8-2 or 9-1.. Ofcourse.. Gerard leading! I am like Mohamed Ghazni you see.. who invaded India in his 18th attempt.. Whenever we stretch our number of matches from 15 to 18 .. I would eventually win the 18th game of the day!
Man… What I will miss the most.. is not the work.. not the facilities.. not the free food given.. or pampering comforts like spa.. or the gym, which I probably visited twice.. But the great time, I had with Balaji, Sadeesh, Krishna Roy and Selvam.. That was one awesome group.. Calling ourselves as Tamil Sangham.. although nobody ever recognized this small clique of friends.. Electing ‘Super’ sadeesh as our group leader.. Definitely.. our group never respected him.. This group was just about vetti (useless) talks.. Amazing Mokkais (dont know the english equivalent) and constant coffee breaks… While Sadeesh takes half an hour to drink a glass of coffee.. ‘IAS Sir’ Selvam keeps cribbing that he has sooo much work to do… Time flies when ‘Kalakkara’ Krishna and ‘Blogger’ Balaji crack PJs after PJs about yours truly’s blog.. Hey Guys.. I had a great time with you!! Do keep in touch.. Ofcourse, how can I miss Tushar in this list.. One really really smart guy I have come across.. 2 years @ Google with him was an extension of my 4 years fun @ NIT Trichy.. Tushar always used to say this for fun.. “How sad that we are in the same company!” “How sad that we are working in the same project” “How sad that I have to see the same face for 6 years..” Well Tushar, the moment has finally arrived.. when we *actually* are doing something different.. All the best for your Phd.. if at all you decide to go for it!! Life will move on! No doubt I will make new friends, but the time I had with you guys is very special to me and I shall remember it for a long time..
People are asking me.. “How do you feel LEAVING Goooggggllllleeeee?” I would say I have mixed feelings.. Sometimes, I am happy that it is over.. Other time, I feel really really sad about leaving Google.. Google was (and is) a such big thing for me.. At times, you have take tough decisions..
Google taught me that I should do what I love.. and not just what I am capable of… Passion and attitude more important for success..
If getting into Google is all that I accomplished, I would be disappointed..
And at the bottom of my heart, I know have taken a right decision.. to pursue something.. which I am passionate about.. I am going to IIM Bangalore to pursue an MBA..
Googlers, its time to bid adieu to you guys!! You guys are amazing.. I am honoured that I was a part of part of the Google family!
Also check out Learnings from my experience @ Google.

The Wet Socks Study
In the Spring of 2007, Dr. Vocksman Joure, a Franco-German scientist at The Max Planck Institute of Scientific Research was washing his socks. It then struck him, that in this process his socks were obviously moistened, or as the layman would say, we. But in spite of his dedicated efforts they refused to stink. Dr. Joure was puzzled as whenever his socks were ‘moistened’ by the rain, they smelled like 5 day old cow dung after the beetles had their eggs hatching and larvae growing.
Being the brave scientist he is, he decided to venture into this unchartered territory armed with nothing but his razor sharp Swiss army knife, and what he liked to call intellect. Later he would regret his folly and blame it on his naive ego.
Anyway, Joure waited. Waited for summer to come. And all this time his mind was focused. Every morning he thought about his stinky socks and how his research would change the world.
And soon the rains were here. The rains. They were here.
His beacons of joy were lit, the flame of his research desire let loose its forked tongue and gasped for more scientific air. Oh! How they smouldered in his heart, his soul and mind were one. He saw nothing but the socks, he smelt nothing but the smell of wet socks and he felt nothing but euphoria and adrenaline of inching towards one of the greatest scientific marvels of the 21st century. He wept as his mind envisaged heroic welcomes and people thronging every city he entered.
Three hours later Dr. Vocksman Joure passed away due to a heart attack. Apparently emotional exhaustion was the cause.
Note: In his honour, the Wet Sock Study was officially suspended. This intriguing subject will never be dealt with again by any scientist in the world, and anyone who dares to defy this rule will be struck by the Vocksman Joure curse. This horrible curse causes socks to stink even after they are washed. Let us pay homage to this great man. Whatever little we know of, about this great smelly mystery is all because of him.

Clouds!!!!
Posted by passionateme as random
Personally I always enjoyed watching them,formed shapes out of them and had made numerous weird ideas letting my imagination horses loose. They indeed flew around wildly to get me incredible ideas like clouds being the boundary walls of a kingdom beyond which is yet to be explored by our space bigwigs. This particular photograph I shot indeed nourished this weird feeling.
Its indeed like the kingdom “beyond” after strengthening its defense with this huge wall will start showering watery bullets to attack us (poor things! they are ignorant of its use). And Lightening and thunder are signs of their victory ( In Tamil its called “Vettri Murasu”). They fight us for reasons unknown and the area is well wide open for research :D .
So next time you see such dark ,dense clouds try to perceive what I imagined.
Pardon me,sometimes my imagination runs too wild. Take Care. See you soon :)
