The challange.
I have taken up challange to get 6 pack abs in next 6 months. I took the first step towards it and joined a Gym. In the over exitment i signed up for 18 months and prepaid the money. It was kinda of overkill but i am glad that i can offord it.

This will be the first of the many post that will track my progress physically.

Lost & Found...
After exactly 2 months i found my old cell phone in our Lost & Found department. Strangely the phone was lost in Lost & Found department as well and took a long time for recovery. However loss of phone was quite tragic and two months been very eventful because of this. Since i lost the phone i decided to get a new phone and got Moto Razor, long awaited change in my ph service. I got brand new phone got a more suitable plan for my needs only to realise that my new Moto Razor sucked. Subconciously i wanted to damage my phone and my will somehow got manifested when it got wet after i carelessly left it on my window.

Obviously the poor thin MotoRazor was no match for seattle rain, and it turned pale pink.... The phone was damanged and i became unreachale one more time... So much so i wanted to enjoy my secluded life , i was forced to take my friends handset, which even though crappy proved to be helpful at occasion.

Today after all the tragic events ( ignored here purposely, why document them and remember) when i found the phone i was really happy..

I also realised that Nokia is by far the best company for cell phones, i have used Moto Razor, Sony Erricson , and some other phone. But Nokia ki baat hi kuch aur hai.

I don't think i will ever get any other ph...assuming that nokia keep doing what it does best i.e. make better candy bars .... ;)

Sad part of making yourself happy is that someone will always be unhappy with that. I wonder if i really want this struggle to decide if i shoudl do what i want to do or if i should do that will make others happy. its more like a compulsive behavior that i am suffering from, i think i am approaching the my capacity to deal with this and i have to take the decision one way or other..this can't go on forever......

Matrix ...
As someone said longtime back, matrix will get you. For past 1.5 yrs i have that feeling of being over powered by M atrix. Ignorance is bliss but knoweldge is power. I am aware and can observe myself being strangled and choked more and more by matrix and by this mundane life style.
This very observation make it more painful, but at the same time creates an opportunuity to fight back.. I won't give up.... The spark in me will continue to light... bring it on... bring IT ON....

.... Sign from god, finally its time to break the rules.

Orkut rocks,
Sure did my plans materialised. I moved today to a new home. This house is 3 br house and i will be sharing it with two other people one of them is owner. The humangous task of move was completed in record time of 4 hrs with the help Young and Restless Brian, Everyready Shirish and calm composed Aja.

Some people are like angeles, this Brian dude, i met him the first time last night at shirish's house and next day he helped me move. He worked very hard..Thnx Brian.

Shirish, What should i say about him... Repeatedly he superseeds my expecations.. This guy is everready and does what it takes to make things happen. Great friend.

Aja, the old buddy... came in at the last moment to lessen the load , because of his arriaval the dreaded breaking point was never reached.

Overall the move was a great sucess, no damages, no casualties and no zols.. it definetly shows that experience is the greatest guru..

I must also mention Namrata & Kapil, and Kapil who rushed in to support the plausible plan of trasnporting TV in the SUV.. Special thnx to Namrata who drove all the way from bellevue after a long day of workshop.

Kapil , the Seattle guru, once again proved that you can always count on old friends.

Overall very eventful day.. So it begins.....


-Prasanna..

Per Orkut....

Today's fortune:
Your present plans are going to succeed

I guess i better make a plan for my upcoming move to new apartment followed by house purchase.

Oh boy,
What an eventful day.
My best friend cleared her Qualifying exam, on her way to become a PhD.
So happy..

On lower note, had a slightly heated but interesting argument with Manager about general processes. But glad that we came to concensus.

Relaised that company provided email shouldn't be used for personal communication.

These guys should be sued. This is obscene. Exteremly upset to have yoga attached with such vulgar intentions.

"we have very different lives, you know. " Well facts are facts, what can we do about it. Most heart breakening thought is none of us will try to make a overlap. Different lifes overlapped and we moved on....have we? can we?

Keep track of time and it will keep you on track to success. Missed the shuttle twice and still seating at home punching my keyboard and letting out the frustration on the blogger. one more reason to write a blog.

i hope i don't miss the next shuttle.

Vicious Circle.

I need to sleep.

My fingers hurt.
If you think ergonomics is bullshit you are wrong. I have started realizing importance of ergonomics, my hands hurt big time, so does my legs. I no longer feel like going to my desk because of poor arrangement. I am perplexed that my company doesn't realise this and make any active efforts to resolve this situation. I hope they realize the productivity goes down significantly if people are not provided condusive work environment... Amazing! isn't it?

No matter how powerful Windows Media Player 10 is, it is not at all user friendly especially for people who are new to computers [Yes there are people who are new to computers even now, like my parents.] and microsoft doesn't seem to understand that.

The media player 10 options of Now playing are still confusing, after talking to my father for about 20 mins over international calls, he was barely able to play a dvd. I would blame the s/w which is not User friendly at all.

Why doesn't Media player just playes it automatically without any hassel on auto insert.

or other softwares do the right thing.. I guess instead of giving my laptop to my parents i should have gave them a dvd player. Atleast dvd players are easy compared to laptop..
