Ramblings

Yippeee!!!! Alonso wins!! What a breath of fresh air this guy is!! Renault has a swell good backup team and the results are there for everyone to see. This proves that teams with moderate size budgets too can compete at the highest level. And, I think Kimi is going to play a major role in this season. So, do keep a watch on Kimi.. And as for Ferrari, I think it is time for Schumi to retire from F1 like Sachin needs to do from Cricket. They have been the best ambassodars for the sport and they have given us enough joy on the sporting fields and it would be great if they leave the sporting arena as champion players.. Cheers, HP

Now, I am really worried! Manchester United is really catching up with Chelsea. The Reds defeated Bolton while Chelsea drew with the relegation-threatened Birminghan City. While, I agree that a 7-point cushion is enough for Chelsea to cruise home but still, considering the past works of Sir Freggie, I think that United are going to give a good enough scare to Chelsea. Hope that Robben,Crespo,Drogba,Terry and co win their remaining matches and win the premiership in style. Cheers, HP "Chelsea Rocks!!!"

Read Quite a few blogs over the weekend. So, linking two posts which I liked. Iyer's Weekend Lessons Jai Arjun's piece on cricket in movies Cheers, HP

In Bangalore, we always had interesting experiences with the auto-drivers. I have heard Mumbaikars complaining a hell of a lot about the auto-drivers in Mumbai. But, then they probably never had to encounter the Bangalore species of the same. We have something called meters in our autos in Mumbai. Yeah, the Bangalore ones also have that but they never are down. I mean, even if the auto is occupied the meter will never be down. They have their own rates and their own logic. Here, if it is beyond midnight the auto will charge double the fare. Fair Enough. In Bangalore, even if it 10:00 am in the morning, he will ask for double the fare( usually they settle for a round figure : 100 if it is within15-20 minutes, 200 if it is within 30-45 minutes. Beyond that, I don't have much experience). The very first day, we took an auto to the IGATE's office. He said the fare will be around Rs.100. After the morning experience, I didn't try to haggle with him in any language(leave alone Ka...

Saw Aksar(read endured) yesterday. Our future generations are never going to forgive us for making a hero out of Emraan Hashmi. Really, I mean it. I would like to take this oppurtunity to beg forgiveness from the coming generation for this stupid mistake of ours and would like to point out that I rarely had a hand in making a hero out of an ape. Really, I have never seen an Emran Hashmi film in a theatre, so please remove me from your hate-list. Sorry..Sorry again... Cheers, HP

I had said that I will be writing about my Bangalore visit soon. But, I kept postponing it because of lack of time. Yeah, really I am busy in my work. Believe me yaar. Now, Stop laughing, will you.. Reallly, I work... huh... Anyways... Well, I along with my colleague were supposed to go to Bangalore to do the transitioning of one project to the IGATE team sitting over there. Some guys from the IGATE team had already been to Mumbai, so we were already familiar with some of them which helped us in settling down quickly in Bangalore. We left for Bangalore on the morning of 20th by Kingfisher Airlines.(haha..Will not leave any chance of bragging about my visit by an aeroplane). The flight was on time and we reached Bangalore at around 8:30 am. It was my second visit to Bangalore but during the first time, I was accompanied by my cousin everywhere I went. So, I didn't have much idea about the roads/routes of Bangalore. So, this time deciding not to take any chances, we decided to take t...

In one of the comments on this blog, Aniket chides me for my bad language and asks me to improve it. I humbly accept his criticism coz I am aware of my shortcomings when it comes to writing. I mean, I am not the one who writes really pathetically. But, then my writings are not from the top-drawer or for that matter, not even from the middle drawer :-) Sorry, Sorry for that, but I think that is expected if you do spend some time with Vinod,Snehal and group. Sorry for deviating from the topic. Coming back to the point raised by Aniket, I do need to improve myself which I am gonna do by writing more. Stop that groaning , you jealous crabs. Here, I want to improve and you are simply concerned with your own good-being. So,be prepared for more stupid writings in future. Cheers, HP

Please read Arnab's post on his parents visiting Anadaman Jail here. Made my eyes moist. Happy Republic Day!!! Cheers, HP

Was discussing with some friends yesterday about my blog and how I have just created a blog and am not keeping it updated. So I decided to do a post today. This post is nothing but pure nonsense. Just because I have been taught the 26 alphabets of the English Language, I am vomitting them in this post. Hopefully, all the alphabets are utilised while doing this post. I like zebra crossings and doughnuts. The above line was to take care that all alphabets are included in this post :-) Cheers, HP

So finally its that time of the year when carols are sung and cakes are eaten. Christmas is always one of my favourite festivals because I associate it with peace and calm. Also, since it is the last major festival of the year and it will be some time before we get into the mood for festival celebrations again. So hopefully, this time there will not be any destruction during Christmas as it happened the last time. So, A Merry Christmas to the whole world and hopefully, the people of this world remember that the Son of God asked us to spread the message of peace and happiness in this world. Cheers, HP

Hmmmmmnnnnnnnn... So finally I get a place on the net.. Great to get going. For introductions, my name is Hariprasad Poojary and I am presently working in the IT services sector in India, or as my friends say at the very least I give the impression that I am working :-) About myself, I love reading,music,walking,sports. Pretty normal stuff. Nothing extraordinary about my likes/dislikes or for that matter about myself too. Don't know if I will continue blogging..But what the heck, it will not be a case of not trying at least. Well that's pretty much for today.Yeah, India defeated SL today in cricket. An Indian victory is always a pleasure for Indians. What effect does an Indian victory has on Indians ..well that will make an interesting topic for my next post... So will end this post here itself.. Chow...
