Nokia – Burning Platform

2011-06-07T15:10:00.001+05:30

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop’s memo to employees showing them the hard facts…!! Showing the way Apple and Google almost killed the dominating mobile player. Its good to see a CEO being true with his biggest asset – The employees.

Hello there,
There is a pertinent story about a man who was working on an oil platform in the North Sea. He woke up one night from a loud explosion, which suddenly set his entire oil platform on fire. In mere moments, he was surrounded by flames. Through the smoke and heat, he barely made his way out of the chaos to the platform's edge. When he looked down over the edge, all he could see were the dark, cold, foreboding Atlantic waters.

As the fire approached him, the man had mere seconds to react. He could stand on the platform, and inevitably be consumed by the burning flames. Or, he could plunge 30 meters in to the freezing waters. The man was standing upon a "burning platform," and he needed to make a choice.

He decided to jump. It was unexpected. In ordinary circumstances, the man would never consider plunging into icy waters. But these were not ordinary times - his platform was on fire. The man survived the fall and the waters. After he was rescued, he noted that a "burning platform" caused a radical change in his behaviour.

We too, are standing on a "burning platform," and we must decide how we are going to change our behaviour.
Over the past few months, I've shared with you what I've heard from our shareholders, operators, developers, suppliers and from you. Today, I'm going to share what I've learned and what I have come to believe.

I have learned that we are standing on a burning platform.
And, we have more than one explosion - we have multiple points of scorching heat that are fuelling a blazing fire around us.
For example, there is intense heat coming from our competitors, more rapidly than we ever expected. Apple disrupted the market by redefining the smartphone and attracting developers to a closed, but very powerful ecosystem.

In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent. They are enjoying a tremendous growth trajectory with a 78 percent earnings growth year over year in Q4 2010. Apple demonstrated that if designed well, consumers would buy a high-priced phone with a great experience and developers would build applications. They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.
And then, there is Android. In about two years, Android created a platform that attracts application developers, service providers and hardware manufacturers. Android came in at the high-end, they are now winning the mid-range, and quickly they are going downstream to phones under €100. Google has become a gravitational force, drawing much of the industry's innovation to its core.

Let's not forget about the low-end price range. In 2008, MediaTek supplied complete reference designs for phone chipsets, which enabled manufacturers in the Shenzhen region of China to produce phones at an unbelievable pace. By some accounts, this ecosystem now produces more than one third of the phones sold globally - taking share from us in emerging markets.

While competitors poured flames on our market share, what happened at Nokia? We fell behind, we missed big trends, and we lost time. At that time, we thought we were making the right decisions; but, with the benefit of hindsight, we now find ourselves years behind.

The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don't have a product that is close to their experience. Android came on the scene just over 2 years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes. Unbelievable.

We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the end of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.

At the midrange, we have Symbian. It has proven to be non-competitive in leading markets like North America. Additionally, Symbian is proving to be an increasingly difficult environment in which to develop to meet the continuously expanding consumer requirements, leading to slowness in product development and also creating a disadvantage when we seek to take advantage of new hardware platforms. As a result, if we continue like before, we will get further and further behind, while our competitors advance further and further ahead.

At the lower-end price range, Chinese OEMs are cranking out a device much faster than, as one Nokia employee said only partially in jest, "the time that it takes us to polish a PowerPoint presentation." They are fast, they are cheap, and they are challenging us.

And the truly perplexing aspect is that we're not even fighting with the right weapons. We are still too often trying to approach each price range on a device-to-device basis.

The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren't taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we're going to have to decide how we either build, catalyse or join an ecosystem.
This is one of the decisions we need to make. In the meantime, we've lost market share, we've lost mind share and we've lost time.

On Tuesday, Standard & Poor's informed that they will put our A long term and A-1 short term ratings on negative credit watch. This is a similar rating action to the one that Moody's took last week. Basically it means that during the next few weeks they will make an analysis of Nokia, and decide on a possible credit rating downgrade. Why are these credit agencies contemplating these changes? Because they are concerned about our competitiveness.
Consumer preference for Nokia declined worldwide. In the UK, our brand preference has slipped to 20 percent, which is 8 percent lower than last year. That means only 1 out of 5 people in the UK prefer Nokia to other brands. It's also down in the other markets, which are traditionally our strongholds: Russia, Germany, Indonesia, UAE, and on and on and on.

How did we get to this point? Why did we fall behind when the world around us evolved?

This is what I have been trying to understand. I believe at least some of it has been due to our attitude inside Nokia. We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been delivering innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.

Nokia, our platform is burning.

We are working on a path forward -- a path to rebuild our market leadership. When we share the new strategy on February 11, it will be a huge effort to transform our company. But, I believe that together, we can face the challenges ahead of us. Together, we can choose to define our future.

The burning platform, upon which the man found himself, caused the man to shift his behavior, and take a bold and brave step into an uncertain future. He was able to tell his story. Now, we have a great opportunity to do the same.

Stephen.

Perfect Man v/s Perfect Woman

2011-06-01T22:10:00.001+05:30

A very old story I recollected… No hard feelings, its just for fun.

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met.
After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding.
Their life together was, of course, perfect.

One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress.

Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help. There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on the eve of Christmas, the perfect couple loaded Santa and his toys into their vehicle.

Soon they were driving along delivering the toys. Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident.

Only one of them survived the accident.

Question: Who was the survivor?
(Scroll down for the answer. Trust me, it's worth it)

Answer:
The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.
**** Women stop reading here, that is the end of the joke.
**** Men keep scrolling.

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident.

By the way, if you're a woman and you're still reading, this illustrates another point: Women never listen.

;)

Few Lessons for Life…

2011-05-13T22:18:00.001+05:30

Writing after a gap of more than 7 months. Life,Work and Travel has kept me busy. It’s good to be back and continuing from were I left…

Some stories I have read/heard from various places/people. Don’t know the real authors. Just sharing them…

Story 2 – All are significant

During my second month of management school, our professor gave us an exam. I breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was thin, dark-haired and in her 40s, but how would I know her name? I never felt a need to interact with her. I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our exam grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor. "In your life and careers, you will meet many people. All are significant.

They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'Hello, How are you doing'."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also found out her name was Uma.

Some stories I have read/heard from various places/people. Don’t know the real authors. Just sharing them…

Story 1 – Treat each customer equally

When an ice cream sundae cost much less than now, a 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat down at a table.

A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.
"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.
"50 cents" replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.
By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient. "35 cents" she rudely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.
"I'll have the plain ice cream" he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away.

The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.
When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were 15 cents.

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

Treat people equally and unbiased.

Thanks for reading and keep checking this space, will be posting few more short stories.

Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar

2010-08-31T19:43:00.001+05:30

Here is a nice article I read and thought to share with all. I’m not aware of the original author this. All credits to him/her.

“No one can make you serve customers well. That's because great service is a choice.”

Harvey Mackay, tells a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point.

He was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine.

Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for Harvey .

He handed my friend a laminated card and said:
“I'm Wally, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.”

Taken aback, Harvey read the card. It said:

Wally's Mission Statement:
“To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.”

This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!

As he slid behind the wheel, Wally said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'

My friend said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'

Wally smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.'

Almost stuttering, Harvey said, 'I'll take a Diet Coke.'

Handing him his drink, Wally said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.'

As they were pulling away, Wally handed my friend another laminated card, - 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'

And as if that weren't enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him.

Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for that time of day. He also let him know that he'd be happy to chat and tell him about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him with his own thoughts.

'Tell me, Wally,' my amazed friend asked the driver, 'have you always served customers like this?'

Wally smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day.

He had just written a book called - “You'll See It When You Believe It”. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, 'Stop complaining!

Differentiate yourself from your competition. Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. “Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.''

'That hit me right between the eyes,' said Wally. 'Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle.

I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.

'I take it that has paid off for you,' Harvey said.

'It sure has,' Wally replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it.

You were lucky to get me today. I don't sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can't pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.

Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab.

I've probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call.

The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn't do any of what I was suggesting.

Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.

How about us?

Smile, and the whole world smiles with you... The ball is in our hands!

A man reaps what he sows. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up... let us do good to all people.

Ducks Quack, Eagles Soar….!!

Dreams Unlimited - I Got Killed…

2010-05-26T16:43:00.001+05:30

Dream 24 – I Got Killed

After quiet a long time I’m back with another dream.

I dreamed of me working in a cram school. During the lunch time, my friend G was waiting for me outside and its raining. We two walking under one umbrella and then I meet another friend of mine M. I told G – “Sorry, I cant come with you” And I went with M.

Me and M went to a sea food restaurant. As soon as we enter the restaurant we saw the crab, shells and other fish where hanging on the walls. And I said - “No don’t eat here, it’s weird…” But he insisted to look around and we went upstairs and upstairs. There were so many floors. I kept going up faster then him.

When I reached the top, I found one old guy is moving some rocks and trying to block the stairs. I said - “Heyyy I am here, I have to get down.” But he didn't even look at me, he kept moving the rocks to the stairs.

I jumped off the rock and my friend was still looking at those seafoods on the wall. Then suddenly – Boooooooooooooom..!!!!!!!
and I was killed. The whole building exploded and I was killed. Someone took my body home.

When I opened my eyes, I knew - I was a ghost. My family were all in living room. I went to them said - “Hey, I’m dead….” But they don't seem to bother - My brother keeps watching TV…… My Dad keeps drinking tea…… and My Mom just walked away like she does not care…...

And I just know my sister did it…. She killed me…. She set the bomb.... I just came to know it now. I walked to her - her face looked so different in dream - more beautiful!!!

I just walked to her and slapped her.. slapped her two times
and said - “How can you kill me…!!! You ruined my life...!!!”

Then I made a call to M to see if he is dead too? It was his friend who answered me, he said - “No M is not dead, but lot of injuries but he will recover.” Then I said - “Ok tell him - I'm dead……” And I hang up the phone.

Then my boss in cram school called me and I was hesitating, if I should answer. Because I know I have to get back to work -- but I’m dead now. I was thinking what excuse to say to my boss. Then I picked the phone and pretend I'm the mother and said -“Oh she fainted away.. when she get sober I will ask her to go back to work.“

And the dream ends…

Feel free to post your constructive comments. Watch out for more…

Thanks again to that very special person for sharing....

Thinking - Man vs Woman

2010-03-13T16:50:00.001+05:30

A little story we discussed on a Saturday nite gathering that shows the essential differences between a man and a woman. Don't know the origin…!!! Please read it unbiased - No offenses to any gender.. !!! It just a 3rd dimension view.

Let's say a guy named Rudy is attracted to a woman named Angela. He asks her out to a movie. She accepts, they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly.

And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Angela, and without really thinking, she says it: "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?

And then there is silence in the car. To Angela, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: Geezz, I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship, maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of.

And Rudy is thinking: Wohhh. Six months.
And Angela is thinking: But hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind of relationship either. Sometimes I wish I had a little more space, so I'd have time to think about whether I really want us to keep going the way we are, moving steadily toward. I mean, where are we going? Are we heading towards a marriage? Towards children? Towards a lifetime together? Am I ready for that level of commitment? Do I really even know this person?

And Rudy is thinking: So that means it was…. let's see.. February when we started going out, which was right after I had the car at the dealer's, which means… lemme check the odometer… Wohhh..! I am way overdue for an oil change.
And Angela is thinking: He's upset. I can see it on his face. Maybe I'm reading this completely wrong. Maybe he wants more from our relationship, more intimacy, more commitment. Maybe he has sensed even before I sensed it. Yes, I bet that's it. That's why he's so reluctant to say anything about his own feelings. He's afraid of being rejected.

And Rudy is thinking: And I'm gonna have them look at this transmission again. It's still not shifting right. And they better not try to blame it on the cold weather this time. It's 28 degrees celsius out, and this thing is shifting like a garbage truck, and I paid them a huge amount.
And Angela is thinking: He's angry. And I don't blame him. I'd be angry, too. I feel so guilty, putting him through this, but I can't help the way I feel. I'm just not sure.

And Rudy is thinking: They'll probably say it's only a limited warranty. Crap..That's exactly what they're going to say.
And Angela is thinking: Maybe I'm just too idealistic, waiting for a ‘prince charming’ to come riding up on his ‘white horse’. When here I'm, sitting right next to a perfectly good person, a person I enjoy being with, a person I truly do care about, a person who also seems to truly care about me. And I put him in pain because of my self-centered, schoolgirl romantic fantasy.

And Rudy is thinking: Warranty? They want a warranty? I'll give them a warranty. I'll take their warranty and stick it right up their ...... I’m the customer, I will teach them their basic lesson - “Customer is always Right”. Ok, I’m ready for this..

Angela says aloud - “Rudyyy”.
"Ughh.. What? Tell me" says Rudy, looking shocked.
"Please don't torture yourself like this," she says, "Maybe I should never have.” her eyes are slowly filling up with tears.

Rudy says - “Huh, What?”
"I'm such a fool," Angela sobs. "I mean, I know there's no prince charming. I really know that. It's silly. There's no prince, and there's no horse."
Rudy says - "Huh.. There's no H-O-R-S-E ?"

"You think I'm a fool, don't you?" Angela says.
"No no no.. !!" says Rudy

Angela says - "It's just that . . . I need some time”
(There is a 10-second pause while Rudy, thinking as fast as he can, tries to come up with a safe response. Finally he comes up with one that he thinks might work.)
"Hmm.. Yes," he says.
"Oh, Rudy, do you really feel that way?" she says.
(Rudy is again confused thinking he answered that one wrong) He says - “Wa.. What way ?”.
Angela says - "That way about ‘time’, that I need some time"
"Oh, yaa, yes yes, I think you should" says Rudy.
(Angela turns to face him and gazes deeply into his eyes, causing him to become very nervous about what she might say next, especially if it involves a h-o-r-s-e, he is doomed again..)
She says - "Thank you, Rudy..!!"
"Thank you.." says Rudy.

Then he takes her home. Angela goes straight to her restroom and then on her bed. A disturbed and conflicted soul, and weeps until dawn. Whereas when Rudy gets back home, he opens a packet of Lays (I love that stuff ehh..), fires up the internet on his Laptop, and immediately becomes deeply involved on mails/news/twitter/online friends. A tiny voice in his mind tells him that something major was going on back there in the car, but he is pretty sure there is no way he would ever understand what, and so he figures it's better if he doesn't think about it.

The next day Angela will call her best friend, or maybe two of them, and they will come over and talk about this situation for six to seven straight hours, probably over an icecream bucket and lot of tissue papers. In all detail, they will analyze everything ‘she said’ and everything ‘he said’, going over it time and time again, exploring every word, expression, and gesture and meanings, considering every possible ramification. They will continue to discuss this subject, off and on, for weeks, maybe months, never reaching any definite conclusions, but never getting bored with it, either.

Meanwhile one day, Rudy, while meeting up with a mutual friend of his and Angela’s, will pause just and say:
"Raj, Did Angela ever own a horse?"

:) Hope you enjoyed the view…. Wanna think a bit next time you fall into a similar situation. Thinking of 2 people could be way different.

A Woman Goes To The Doctor

2010-02-17T18:57:00.001+05:30

Read this and thought should be shared. No offence to all lovely girls over there. Take it light… :)

A woman goes to the doctor, beaten black and blue. . . . .

Doctor: What happened?
Woman: Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home from the pub he beats me to a pulp....

Doctor: I have really good medicine against that: When your husband comes home from the pub, just take a tiny straw and sip an ice cold 2 litre bottle of cold-drink dry.

2 weeks later she comes back to the doctor and looks reborn and fresh again.
Woman: Doc, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk I sipped a 2 litre Coke empty and he never touched me.
Doctor: You see how keeping your mouth shut helps!!!

Happy Valentines Day…!!

One Life, Live it…

Everything you know is bullshit. Death isn't real. Life is just a dream. Enjoy yourself. Stop worrying. Stop being scared. Go after what you want, even if what you want seems beyond the realm of possibility.

Make it happen. You are god here on Earth, whoever you are. Even if you have to crawl out of the dirt to make it happen, you CAN make it happen. Never surrender to your own fear and never lose the energy you have inside.

There is no god, there is no ending, there is only just here and now.

Dreams Unlimited - A Horse Ride

2010-01-07T19:20:00.001+05:30

Dream 23 – A Horse Ride

I dreamt that - I was riding a horse, but I was so afraid because I don’t know how to ride a horse, but that horse was a smart one. It never made me fall.

While riding I took a baby from the street and hold it with me because some people were hurting her. Then after few hops I took a woman too. Due to this lot of people were chasing me. I see some soldiers chasing me.... but they are creepy, they are the ancient time soldiers, they looked like they are from some dynasty.

The horse took me to a small community and we lived there. I notice - The baby grew a lot when we arrive there and become a little girl (strange baby huh…). We lived in a small house in the community. There were some soldiers living at downstairs. These soldiers were friendly.

Then I find something green in our house...I don't know what it is but… something green and someone told the soldier that we got green thing in the house. They are so angry, and said - “we are all going to be killed, because green is sin..” Their dynasty hated green things. And I started running again…..

On the way suddenly the same smart horse appeared and told me to climb on him. The horse started taking us (me and the little girl, I don't know where did the woman I picked up vanished). Now the horse took us to a another community – I see a lot of people gathered at the entrance with garlands and some fruits/food. One very old looking guy came to greet us, as if he was expecting us…. I felt strange…

He introduced himself as the head of this community. He took me around the community and showed the houses – it was all simple houses made of wood, but looking very beautiful, because all people around there was happy and cheerful. I asked him - “Is green sin here ?” He gave me a strange look and said – what green, what sin... What you talking about? I said – Nevermind and we moved on..

Then he took us to a house and told this is a special house and we present this house to you. To me it looked similar to all other houses. So I asked the old man – What is special about this house. He says - “This is the only house with a door bell and a lock…”

I was surprised to see a community where people didn't use doorbell and locks.. thinking this I entered the house and lay on the soft bed… and after sometime I hear the door bell ringing.. I was too tired from riding so long on the house… I did not wanted to get up…. But it kept ringing louder and louder and louder….. and it broke my sleep (the real sleep and my dream….)

And my dream ends…

When I woke up into real world – My Door Bell was really ringing… What surprised me more was when I opened the door – I see an old man looking similar face, like the one I saw in dream standing at my door (but he was wearing pants/shirt unlike the one in dream who wore an ancient dress….). He wanted to ask me directions to some place he wanted to go… I helped him with direction and he told me - Thanks and “Sorry to disturb your dream”

Strange rite… dreams merging to reality….. I’m always astonished by the world for dreams….

Feel free to post your constructive comments. Watch out for more…

Thanks again to that very special person for sharing....

Dreams Unlimited - Being Chased Till I Pee

2009-12-30T17:49:00.001+05:30

Dream 22 – Being Chased Till I Pee

After a long time my special person has shared some dreams with me. Trying to write it now..

Dream starts with me and my friend Anita in a woman shop. It is Anita’s shop. I just go there to help her out in the shop.

One guy came to return some item he purchased and wanted refund. I look at his receipt and told him – no way, because its been 7days and return policy is effective only for 7 days. So no refund after a week. But he insisted on getting his refund. I said –” No no no… Never..” He got angry and I screamed at him.

He got pissed off because of this and suddenly he shot a thick needle to Anita’s face, on her cheek. Then she cried out to me – “Oh my god this guy is a Mafiaaa…. Run, run…” I started running…. He and his guys started chasing me and oh my god –Anita is already dead, after she got that shot :(

I started running fast and they were chasing me behind. Everywhere I ran, the people there got the same shot and all are dead..

They were amazing, they shot the needle at the same time and which came flying to the target’s cheek perfectly… and landed on the same place on the cheek.

I kept running, I saw a school and ran to a classroom, pretending I’m one of the students there. But they knew I’m there, and they shot all the students, except me. I managed to run and escape again, I'm lucky again . I saw Anita's tomb on the way
and kept running.

Then I saw a toilet, I took off my pants and started to pee, damn… I did really pee, which broke my sleep and then I woke up screaming and ran to my toilet cause I felt myself almost peeing in real on bed…. haha haha…. :)

And my dream ends…

Feel free to post your constructive comments. Watch out for more…

Thanks again to that very special person for sharing....

My First Dream

2009-12-27T06:46:00.001+05:30

My First Dream - 1

Welcome to all new followers on the blog… Its great to see people joining in. Inspires me to write more, write often….

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas….. and looking forward to a Happy New Year…!!! My wishes to all my followers and the readers.

Its been long I have penned something, mostly due to the busy schedule. Well what’s a more better way to restart by sharing ‘My own’ dream :) Wondering whose dreams where those that I wrote earlier? Well then, maybe you missed to read the disclaimer in them. :)

When the dream starts I find myself between a crowd of people. They are all busy doing their own personal stuff – Some where talking on cell phone, some were talking to each other, Some were reading book.

Then I see one person is running towards me. He got something in his hands, look like a paper/note. He reaches me and hands over that paper to me and says, the king has send this for me. I was shocked to hear about a king in the era of cell phones… :) I ask him, oh where is king. He point far away and says – you can see there…

I see a bright light coming from the the side and I see a kingly looking guy walks out and calls me near him. Once I reach him he says – now read the note in the paper. I go ahead and look at the the note, I feel a jitter, a shake while reading the note and my dream breaks…

I hope I can continue this dream and I can read what exactly was written over there in the note.

Keep watching……

Google unveils “Go” – New Programming Language

2009-11-12T14:16:00.001+05:30

Google – One of my favorite technology company has yet again released a breaking product - “Go” a new experimental programming language to the open source community.

‘Go’ is an attempt by the Google to mix the web-friendly attributes of scripting languages like Python with the performance and security benefits of compiled languages like C++.

Work on Go was started two years ago. Team members include industry heavyweights Ken Thompson and Rob Pike, two of the creators of the Unix operating system, and Robert Thompson, who developed the Java HotSpot compiler.

As per Google - Go is intended to be a systems programming language for building software such as web servers and databases. Its concurrent programming model is optimised for multi-processing and multi-core-based machines.

Few lines from Google Blogs

"Here at Google, we believe programming should be fast, productive, and most importantly, fun. That's why we're excited to open source an experimental new language called Go," read the blog.

"Typical builds feel instantaneous; even large binaries compile in just a few seconds. And the compiled code runs close to the speed of C. Go lets you move fast."

For more information visit golang.org.

Thanks

July, that went by…

2009-07-31T09:24:00.001+05:30

Its been almost a month I wrote something here. Let me start by welcoming the new follower of the blog - Ruaim Rabbie.

It has been a very busy month. Specially from the work front with lot of org changes, management visits, travel, performance appraisals. On the personal front – Elections in our area, family functions and more…. Woooffff, that’s a lot of stuff to handle in 30 days, maybe that's why they made 1 day extra for this month and made July as 31days. :) And some of these things that kept me busy are still running and being carried forward to next month. Didn’t realize how fast this month went by.

The only refreshing things in the month were - the little rains, the interesting travels, few hours spend at CF and the good way to end a month - some monetary benefits that came in yesterday :) (no I'm not talking about salary here)

A new month is going to start tomorrow and I will be still running busy, got a lot of stuff on my plate from the work front. Expecting August to bring in some good news…

Have a great weekend…

Thank You Friends…

2009-07-10T13:02:00.001+05:30

Hi Friends – Its glad to see the visitor count increase on the blog and the same with the followers counts. I would like to welcome the new followers:

Sarah Fairy, Andy48, Sriram, Wholesaler, Chiranan and Nicolas

I would also like to personally thank my friends “Rijas, Pradeep, Anupam, Ankit” for being the initial followers to the blog. I wanna thank all of you and those unknown visitors for following the blog and I hope I can give you more dreams that you will enjoy reading.

Its been a while that I have penned down some dreams. One of the main reason is our busy lives.. Sometimes life takes priority or pushes us to give it priority :) That's what it did to me – pushed me - I had been sick almost from a week. In addition to this coincidently my dreamer has also been busy. I hardly get time to talk to my wonderful dreamer… :) That’s again called life pushing itself to priority…

Well what I’m going to say now might sound strange – When I started writing these dreams, ‘I never used to dream' at least not in sleep :) Well some of you might wonder, how can I write dreams when I don't dream myself. Hmm, the answer likes in the disclaimer of all my dreams - ‘They are not my personal dreams...’

Things have changed a lot now – Yes, I have been dreaming.. But I’m not as good as my dreamer that I remember all of those… I’m trying hard to remember them, and its working too.. So hopefully soon I might share some of my personal dreams too. Till then enjoy the dreams of this very special person… :) I’m waiting to talk to my dreamer soon to get some new dreams… Wish me luck :)

Have a great weekend…

Dreams Unlimited – Michael Jackson Dance

2009-07-01T09:37:00.001+05:30

Dream 21 – Michael Jackson Dance

Today I dreamt that I have joined a dance class and my instructor is trying to teach me MJ (Ya, THE Michael Jackson) moves. I find it too difficult to learn… Then a black wave, like in the sea come, but it’s wave of smoke… My teacher was sinking into the smoke and he vanished.

Then I see real MJ emerge from the smoke, but I can see just his face, nothing else. He was doing some steps from this dance. I wanted to dance like him, but the smoke is too dark that he could see me. Then he also vanished in the smoke.

Then I see a shadow again, and it forms the shape of my uncle. He was dancing the MJ dance. I was freaked out. I scolded him - “Don’t dance like MJ”. He told – OK and he is also gone. But later I see him dancing again MJ moves. Then I try to learn from him. He told me - “If I’m not serious about dance, i will never learn it”. I said ok, I will be serious.

Then a desk with a cake on it emerge in front of us. I asked – “Where are the candles ?”, then one finger comes out from the cake. I wanted to beat the finger, but my uncle said – Don’t beat… Just burn it. Then we lit the finger and sing the song - “Happy Birthday to you….” its only me and my uncle but when we sing it, the voice sounds like lot of people are singing with us… high voice, low voice… like a chorus…

Then I ate the cake. But it was not very tasty, just too sweet, too much sugar. I didn't eat the cake at all, I just licked the cream and butter. Then I said to my uncle – its better to just dance. My uncle asked in a surprise tone - “What Dance ..?? what you talking about? “ as if he don't remember anything that happened before….

And the dream ends….!!!

Michael Jackson – Rest In Peace.. The world will miss you…

Dreams Unlimited – Earth Control...

2009-06-22T13:02:00.001+05:30

Dream 19 – Earth Control

Today I dreamt that I’m controlling 4 little earths. I was sitting in the big control room with many buttons and screens with lot of stars around me, watching and monitoring the 4 little earths.

Six old men and one old woman lived in one earth. I see some sadness coming from that earth and one monitor blinks the message – “Beep Beep.. Sadness in earth # 2”. Then I went down to that earth and talk to them. They were spinning and they looked like ancient politicians.

They stopped spinning when they saw me. All the men look like drunk. One old man and one old woman were together sitting in the floor. I went to them and found the old man is sad because he always mix up his dynasty, he don't remember which dynasty he come from. He wanted me to help him recognize his dynasty.

He started showing me the way he greets to the king. Bend down on knees towards the wall and said – Great King…

When I walk next to him, he shouts - “You should also bend down, all have to bend down for king.” Then I said - “You are just giving example of how you greet king, why should I bend down?” Then he gets sad again. I told him – Ok, don't be sad, Does not matter which time or dynasty you are from, at least you are the youngest old man of all.

Then I turn to the old woman…Dammnnn.. she was so scary and ugly looking. Her hair and face are like stripes on them. Her hairs were flying and spinning, as if there is wind around them. Looking very scary and ugly. Then she says - “I have to show you my time of dynasty also. But not the greeting, but in hair style.”

Then she started fixing her hair, hmmm.. like Japanese woman style. Then I see her hair became beautiful and her face changed too. It was looking better now.

Then I tell them - “Ok time for me to leave. Don’t be sad, it effects the control system. It’s difficult to travel all way from there to fix it, specially in the time of recession when globally there is a travel freeze.” [ha ha ha ha recession in dream also.] Then when I’m about to leave, I find that I’m not able to get out of this earth to control other earths..oh my goodness..

Then I see myself rolling and laughing in my bed with my friend… and the dream ends..

Dreams Unlimited – The Evil...

2009-06-21T19:36:00.000+05:30

Dream 18 – The Evil

Today I dream of a girl from a comic book, jump into real life. In the comic she is a pretty girl, but when I see her in real, she is very ugly. Lets call her name as Janet. She had small waist but very scary face.

She comes to me and says that she saved all her salary of a year and she is buying a Louis Vuitton Bag. [For those who don’t know -Louis Vuitton (LV) is famous international fashion brand, I guess French fashion, and they are really expensive]

Then I said to her – Oh LV bag..!! I would rather spend all that money on food rather than LV bag. Then she open her LV bag and it was full of food :). She gave some food from her LV bag. Then I tell her – “OK, now I think your are right. You are using it for right purpose – The Food.” She had lot of food in the bag, but she never allowed me to touch her bag.

After I’m full, I go to work and hmm.. drinking water again.. Then I heard my boss and my other friends talk about Janet. I didn’t join them. I just kept drinking water and thinking – I already know who Janet is and I even ate food from her bag. And I was feeling happy about it.

Then my boss points his finger to me and says – “You have some evil in you. That’s why all colleagues are not feel good now.” Then I confessed to my boss that I met Janet. Boss said – Janet’s evil has come into your body.

Then I started working… like nothing happened till the garbage collection truck came. I went to that truck, but I didn’t take the garbage with me. I just stand there and looking at the truck. Then suddenly the driver of truck comes to me says – “Ok, you garbage is collected, you can go now.” I kept thinking in my mind – “You fool man, I never brought any garbage.. ha ha ha”

Then I went back to my office, now my boss sees me again and tell – Oh you are back, the evil inside you is gone now….. I stand there thinking.. eh…

And my dream ends…

Dream 17 - The Vegetable

I have a weird and confusing and incomplete dream.. if you still like to read... read on... :)

Today I dream that I got up and staring at my closet for a long time. I see a white coat and I get scared. Then the hands of the coat move and wave at me. I get so scared that I get unconscious.

When I get up I find my legs become part of vegetable. And I was part of some real vegetables in a bag. My body was outside the bag and my vegetable legs where inside the bag. Then I see a girl like in the movie - "The Grudge", white skin, long hair. She climb on my body, but she was acting funny and laughing and not scary...

I told her, go to the vegetable part of the bag so that I don't have to feel your body. Then she went down my legs, the vegetable part. But she got angry... and said - These vegetables smell so bad. Then she climbs out from the bag and goes out from the window....

I don't remember what happened next.. :(

I dream of myself working in a harbor. I'm the one telling the people, if the tide is going to be High or Low... And all people near the harbor respect me a lot.

They were so happy with me that they try to arrange new romantic dates for me. I meet new date every night, but I don't like any of them. Then I suddenly remember that all the dates have same face, same hairstyle..

But I didn't like anyone of them, so I go to tower and watch the far away ocean and suddenly there is a phone call... my mom calls... and say -- "Why you are not coming back home soon? " I said - OK, I will be soon home.

Then I go to my office but I'm not working, just sitting and drinking water... My boss sees this and asks me , why am I not working.. I said because my mom told me to go home .. but I still didn't go home.. My boss told ok, but don't drink so much water, we need water for others in office too..

But I still stay in office and kept drinking water.... then I feel my bladder is full and I need to pee... But I suddenly realize I dont know where the restroom (bathroom) is., OMG I forgot the route to it... I run to my find someone to ask where is it.. but all people are gone, all desks are empty.. I find only one guard, I ask him where is everyone... he says- all people gone in search of water to drink... as someone drank all water in office... I ask him - Ok, tell me where is restroom, he told he knows it, but boss has told not to tell anyone....

I was sooo damn in pressure....... I started running around in the office to find the restroom. myself. Suddenly a phone on one desk rings... It was my mom calling again - asking when you coming home.. I asked her -- ok do u have restroom in home ? She told - yes, of course.. I replied- ok then, i'm coming home nowwwwwwww.....!!!

I hangup the phone and again the phone rings.. I was about to pick it when some sound wakes me up and I find it's my cellphone really ringing.... and guess what... it was my mom calling ha ha ha.... :) Sometimes the dreams are soo close to reality....

And my dream ends....

Dreams Unlimited - Naked Crab Cake...

2009-06-16T17:57:00.005+05:30

Dream 15 - Naked Crab Cake

I dreamed myself going out naked below waist, nothing down and looking for water. I could not find water anywhere and no one was ready to offer me some water. Then I walked to a sea shore and drank water from the sea. While drinking a stupid crab bite my lips, then I reached for a stone to beat him and said - You are a dead Crab.

Then I see a old man walking on the beach, he had many clothes inside a bag. I said to him - "Why do you have so many clothes". He says - "Because no one wants to buy". Then I said to him - "Can you give me one.. I don't have anything to wear for my ass..."

Then the old man kept the bag down and opened it.. suddenly my grandma walked out from the bag... and asked me - "you drive very fast? I had to pay a fine for you, for speeding... You should be careful when driving" . I said but I don't drive, I usually walk fast. Grandma says - "Ya same.. Just walk and drive slow.." Then grandma and the old man are gone....

Then I see a mate of mine, she was getting her hair cut done in my uncle's house. My uncle made her hair look very ugly. But still my mate didn't complain. She just told - "I will take one cake..." from my uncle. I said -"Oh ya.. I want cake too" But my uncle said I didn't had haircut, so I cant get cake... I was sad to hear it..

Then I see their kitchen is linking with their backyard. I waited till my mate finished the cake.. Then my uncle went to spoil other customer's hair.... I sneak into the kitchen and grab a cake and run back... While running out I dropped a glass and my uncle found I steal cake.. and he send that stupid dirty dog of his to follow me.. I ran fast thru lanes and streets.... Then suddenly road ends.. and nothing to run.. and I have to jump down to save the cake.. and I jump down fast.. and started eating my cake... and I was dropping down fast... when I finished the cake, I looked down and.. Oh shit.... I'm falling down.... I shouted -- Helpppppppppp..... Why cant we fly, oh God - make me a bird.. Now noww make fast ......

And my dream ends.... But I'm happy I ate the cake :)

Dreams Unlimited - The Search...

2009-06-14T15:32:00.005+05:30

Dream 14 - The Search

I'm back with new dreams. Wondering why no dreams from last 2 days ? Well, even I don't know :) But the good news is... I have got a really long and nice dream today.. so read on.

Today I dream myself going to a hospital for eye checkup. But when I reach there, the eye doctor is not available. I was about to leave.. then the nurse says - no you stay and help us. I was scared, as I see lot of injured people there. So I ran away from there and go to a desert.

In the desert, I have a wooden house, but there are lot of strangers there around. I don't know anyone there. There were lot of turkish people living near my house. One night get out of house, trying to find a turkish friend. But I'm careful because i didn't want let anyone else know that I'm looking for a guy...

When I was almost found him... One another guy shout to me from behind - "You always don't sleep". I said - I do sleep, just that you never notice. He says - Oh really. I said - "yeah, sure.... like i never notice u sleep too, but I'm sure u also sleep. Same way I also sleep but you never notice" He agrees and then he comes to my wooden house and I make him some tea. While having tea, he again starts same argument and says - "but i really never see you sleeping.." I said - "OK, then you think if I really sleep or not..."

To get rid of this guy, I go out of my house and go to a farm. I see lot of people running.. running really fast... towards a big stone in the farm... I follow them running too.. Then I see there is a hole in this big stone.. and all people are running and jumping into this hole in the stone.. I stop there and didn't jump, I see two more girls are standing in the side and watching the hole.

I asked them, why are they jumping into hole ? They told me - "just keep watching.." Then i look inside the hole and OMG... I see big tiger under there in hole.. It was eating all people who were jumping inside. I really got scared... But the tiger was big and very beautiful to see.

Then I heard something from the farm.. there was a team of girls.. dressed like cheerleaders.. But they were chanting for the dead.. there were some tomb in the farm and this team of girls where chanting for them.. Then behind these girls, i also see a group of boys follow - they were police boys.. They think these chanting girls are fraud. But they have no evidence.. so they just follow if girls gonna do some bad things and then they arrest the girls..

Then the leader girl suddenly say - "Oh we need some dollars for the ceremony" and ask the family of the dead to give them some dollars to each girl. The police boys sees this and are ready to catch them. Then suddenly one police boy said -- Nooo, they didn't do wrong. We cant catch them.... Then the girl go away with the money in their truck...

I went to this police boy and asked - "Why u did that ? Do you like them ? " He says -"yes, i like one of the girl, but their is one turkish who wants to have her. " I asked him - Who ? and he says - "Adem" Then I say - Oh no, Adem is my friend. I was looking for him this morning... [btw Adem is my turkish friend in real too, and remember the guy i was looking in the beginning of dream? its him. I was looking for Adem ha haha ...]

I was surprised and I ran back to home thinking.. I must find Adem .. cant let him have those fraud girl. Now on the way I met a Russian guy. I don't know why but i suddenly got shy when i saw the Russian.. I walked slow.. when I have to pass the Russian and then start running again.. :) ha ha ha...

Finally I reached home and see what.. -- OMG... that guy is still there (the one who didn't see me sleep and arguing..) grrrr... He was still waiting for me.. I asked him - Did you see Adem? He says - "I don't know..." I said OK and was about to go out to find him when suddenly this guy says -- "Why do you want to find him? He is not like you... He Sleeps..." grrrrrrrrr.. I was soo furious with that guys' word , that I came out , set the fire.. burn my house and that guy inside....

It was becoming very very hot because of fire.. the heat kept on increasing more and more... I was sweating... and it was too much hot...because of too much heat.... I woke up and dream ends... :)

When I woke up, I found myself really sweating and it was soo hot that I had to turn on my air conditioner... :) That was tooo near real dream .. :)

2009-06-11T09:42:00.003+05:30

Dream 12 - The Ladder

Today I dream that my uncle has become a painter and he climbs up a long ladder to paint the wall. But he slips and falls down.. and gets injured. He calls me to help him finish the painting task.

I climb up the ladder and when I reach on the top, I get scared... and everyone tell me to come down.. But i was so scared that I refuse to come down.. I sit on ladder top for days.... till my uncle gets well.

Then he comes and talks to me and tries to convince me to come down. I tell him - no its too scary, I don't wanna move. Then my uncle calls for a crane to get me down.... The crane man comes with a BIG crane and after seeing, he says - "This is a very difficult situation, but I will try" This line scares me more.

Then he brings the hands of the crane near me and as it was coming near.. I get more scared and think.. omg, this thing will hurt me more.. Maybe it will hurt my hands. .. oh no.. see it.. it can cut my fingers... so many such thoughts were going inside my mind.. Then I suddenly scream -- NO NO NO NOOOOOOOO... Stop.. Stop.. Stopppp.... Nowwww.....

Everyone again look at me and ask why.. Then I say -This is more scary than being here. Maybe I will use the ladder to come down... Then I slowly use the ladder and come down..

As soon as I reach down, I hug my uncle and say - "I don't like this ladder, it is a bad ladder..."

Then I hear everyone in the crowd sing a song describing -that this ladder is bad and it should be punished.

I felt so happy... :)

And the dream ends...

Dreams Unlimited - I Can't Talk...

2009-06-09T18:56:00.004+05:30

Dream 11 - I Can't Talk

Today I dreamt myself being not able to talk and hear, I was dumb and deaf... Then my friend J told me that I should go to a temple up on the mountain and a big white monkey there and that can give back the power of talking and hearing to people.

So I started to climb the mountain and reached the temple, then I found the big white monkey. I went near it started to look at him and making actions with hands, waiting for it to cure me. The monkey was also looking at me, but doing nothing, it was not talking at all.. It was doing nothing to cure me.. Then I thought to myself, "oh how stupid of me - how can this monkey make me speak, when he himself can't speak.... " ha ha ha...

Then I went up inside the temple, I see a big , very very big statue of god. I went behind the statue and I see a big machine is hidden there... I try to see what that machine is, it has so many buttons.. I tried to press the buttons.. Suddenly I see a loot of smoke started to come out.... The smell of the smoke was too much, lot of that smoke got into my nose while I was breathing and I coughed... Then after that suddenly I see - I can speak and hear.. wow it was miracle..

I was so happy, I could speak and hear again.. I went running back to that big monkey.. and kept saying this to the monkey -- " hey ,hey hey hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey hey.... hey hey.hey hey..... hey hey... I told him "hey" many times.. lol .. I was so happy that I speak and the monkey cannot speak till now...ha ha ha ha.. I told him to go press the button in machine behind the statue... :)

Then I started to come down the mountain.. and suddenly I slipped.. and then my legs become tyres.. I was coming down the mountain in full speeed.... and also shouting.."hurray, i can speak.. "

Then I went to a shop and buy a desk.. I got it home with me.. When it reached home the desk changed into a woman... and I wanted it to moved to other side of room. But it was not moving... So I called my friend to move it... My friend was begging in front of that woman - pls desk move.. move to other side desk please... But woman did not agree to move and said, she dont like to move.....

Then I was thinking in my mind - Oh, if I knew this desk was so stubborn , I wont have brought it at all.. Then I told the woman - "Hey woman - I still have your purchase receipt. Are you moving or shall I return you back... Then you will be a desk again.. a dumb desk.... think fast.. you have 60 secs..." I was laughing in my mind, when I was telling this... but on my face I was showing anger...

Then the woman say - no no no, dont return me.. I will move... I will be a good desk... and she moved to other side of the room :)

Then I say to myself - What a day.. but a clever one... :)

And the dream ends.....

Dreams Unlimited - Alice...

2009-06-06T22:56:00.005+05:30

Dream 9 - Alice

Foundation pack is something that every girl knows, it used by girls for makeup.

Today I dreamt of a pool of foundation pack. Ya, a 'pool full of foundation'.... And I was inside that pool and moving around and playing.. suddenly my head got hurt because I bumped into a stone. The stone was as the same color of foundation.

Then I said to the stone - I will break you, you stupid stone. Then I remember myself drinking the foundation pack from the pool, I kept on drinking it without doing anything really to 'break' the stone.

Then I don't know how and why, I remembered a name - Alice. I started to think - Is Alice a girl or Is Alice a butterfly ? I was getting confused - who is Alice.. Butterfly or girl? huh.... Thinking this I started to walk and I reached my aunt's house.

Wow I see there is barbeque in my aunt's house. My aunt came and told me to sit.. and she came and sat next to me... Then I see something.. And pointing my finger to a meat piece, I ask my aunt - "Is this Alice...?" and my aunt replies -- "No its not Alice, she is already been eaten..." then I say - Oh... then I can eat this ? And my aunt responds -- No no.. you can't eat it, you can only eat the bean...

I get sad that I dont get to eat the meat... I was so hungry too, so I started to eat the bean... Many of my aunts guests passed by me and I said hello and greeted them and then go back to eating my beans..

Then someone tap me from back on my shoulder and I turn around and see a girl standing there, she smiled at me. I see she had a plate in her hand and it had some meat pieces. I had never seen her before in any of our previous gatherings... So I asked her who is she.. She smiled and asked me - Do you wanna have some meat? I said sure... It was delicious and after eating I asked her name again.. and she says - Alice.

Suddenly my aunt calls my name from behind and I turn around to look at her and then I again turn back to see Alice. But she is gone...too fast... like a butterfly.....

And someone tap my shoulder again and I turn back to see my friend waking me up from my sleep (and dream) ....

Dreams Unlimited - The Jail...

2009-06-05T15:22:00.004+05:30

Dream 8 - The Jail

Today I dreamt myself in a Jail... Ya... I was looking out from the jail, and I see a woman sitting outside the jail. She was staring at me, she was wearing a very ancient costume.

She had one basket in her hand. I went to her and asked.. Why are you not talking? Are you selling vegetables? Do you have vegetables in the basket? Then she speaks and says – if you come into my basket, you will be free from the jail.

It was kinda strange and I was wondering what is she talking about…. As I was thinking the same I see a flood coming in.. Lot of vegetables also comes with the flood… and that woman says – Ok its time for me to go…. I get really angry and said to that woman – See I told you – You ARE a vegetable woman…. all those vegetables came from your basket. She does not say anything but just smiles.. and pointed her finger to me…. and then vanished in the flood. And the flood also vanished.

I was thinking in my mind... hmm, strange woman.. Then I turned back and I see - oh my god, there is no jail wall. The wall of the jail has vanished. Did that stranger woman made it vanish ? or the flood broke the wall... I don't know.... I was in kind of a scared and happy feeling.... As there was no jail wall, I started to walk and explore the area….

Then while walking I found a duck family – a Dad duck, Mom duck and 2 kid ducks. They were standing together and boiling water. Then one kid duck saw me watching them and make a funny face to me..

Then naughty thoughts came to my mind, I tried to ruin the water they were boiling by putting some sand into it… ha ha ha… Then the dad duck said to me – “Hey Human, you can go to other place and play…” I was surprised to see a talking duck. Then I put some more sand into the water and ran away before he could catch me… ha ha ha ha…

Later I see - Oh damn.. The wall has appeared again.. I thought, is this the jail wall again? But this wall looked weird.. it had pictures of ass (booty) on it every where. Then I looked closely and observed this wall and suddenly I say to myself – Oh isn't this the wall at my grandma’s house? Then I see my cousin appear there and she imitates the pose of the ass in the picture and laughs and says to me – Yeh that’s the wall in grandma’s house… And I also say – Yaaaa, that’s the ass and I did the same pose with her..

And then we both walk to other side of the wall and see grandma sitting there and reading a book, the name of the book was - "The Jail..." and there was a basket next to her.....

And the dream ends.....

Dreams Unlimited - The Boy...

2009-06-02T07:01:00.007+05:30

Dream 2 - The Boy

As usual I see myself laying on the bed, rolling and smiling... [Most of the times all my dreams start like this :), ok lets get back to dream ] Then from my bed I see a boy is laying on a hammock (net tired between two trees). I just look him once and then don't bother much looking at him.

I was looking around and I see one butterfly was flying, my eyes started following the butterfly. It was so beautiful, blue wings and some other color also... I liked the way it was looking, it would fly for sometime then sit on something, then again start flying.. I was playing with a thread in my hands and my eyes following the butterfly movements. Its a very hyper butterfly, always flying here and there, no resting for long in one place.

Then the butterfly fly and sit on the same hammock the boy was laying, so I see him again. After few seconds I see that boy coming towards me and he tells me to call him. He want to give me his number, but he don't have anything to write. He asked me for paper, I said even I dont have paper.

Then the boy went back to the tree and break a big leaf and get a thin stick. He writes his number with the stick on the leaf and give it to me and tell me to call him. I was laughing in my mind when i see him write on leaf .. ha ha ha...

I took the leaf from him and told him - Ok, i will call u when i wake up... then he said fine , thank you and goes away. But then I see myself repeating the same words - "ok, i will call u when i wake up..., ok, i will call u when i wake up..." again and again alone :) ha ha ha ha

Then suddenly my friend J appear next to me and tells me that I have one more exam paper to give and I said - I hate you J.... Then I went back to home thinking about that boy...

Then my alarm clock rang to wake me up, I woke up thinking - Oh its time to call the boy... and then I realize I left the leaf in the dreams :( and I don't have the number to call.....

I will try to go back to dream and try to get that leaf again .... :)

I was laying down on a bed one afternoon and rolling around , laughing, with my hands on my ass and waiting for a person from other country. But he did not showed up for long.... I don't know why.. I just know I was waiting this person in the dream...

Then I see my grandma setting a lot of tables. It looks like a feast, I asked her and she told - yes, its a feast. I was happy, but then suddenly I see that I'm the only guest for the feast :) My grandma was not talking much to me, she kept on setting more tables and I was just keeping on eating all of it.... Oh did I tell you, the feast on road side, on a street ....

Then something came in my mouth, dont know what it was.. maybe some sea food or something else. It made me angry, because it was very hard to chew.... :) And my grandma says to me -- you are hopeless... and I said.. - You have already told me this before :) ha ha ha ha....

Movie Review : A Wednesday

2008-09-13T07:57:00.003+05:30

Watched the movie 'A Wednesday' last week. Believe me it's a film best seen without any impressions. It's a film whose charm lies in its unraveling.

Anupam Kher plays the role of a Mumbai police commissioner who receives a phone call from an anonymous person (played by Naseeruddin Shah) demanding the releasing the four terrorists from the jails failing which he threaten to blow mumbai city with series of bomb.

Trust me its a spledid performance from Naseeruddin Shah. Anupam Kher has also done a great role. But I felt somewhere Naseeruddin overpowered Anupam. The plot of the movie is very intense and cut to cut. No lags, no frills, its a movie straight to the point with brilliant performance from the key roles.

Writer /Director Neeraj Pandey has done a great job by making this movie, its a end to end thriller with wonderful twist that's so unpredictable and fabulous. Neeraj should get kudos for the brilliant direction and the camera angels.

Naseeruddin Shah's speech over the climax of the movie is really really really super. Each word has so much weight and very wonderfully written dialougs and delivered exceptionally well by Naseeruddin Shah. His speech really deserves a standing ovation!!! Its a sheer dynamite.

A Wednesday is one of the bravest films ever made in India. I would say -Its a most engrossing movie I have seen in a long time. Do yourself a favour and watch A Wednesday !

Party Time...!!

2008-06-13T12:42:00.004+05:30

Yesterday went to an Italian restaurant in Bangalore called 'Sunnys'. This is located on the vittal mallya road, bang opposite to the Canara bank and next to a petrol bunk (i guess Indian Oil).

As it was a thrusday night we didnt except much crowd and missed to do reservation and believe me folks, once we reach there it was jam packed. But I managed to get a table.

The restaurant has a pretty good ambiance and nice food and drinks. I ended up having couple of Whiskey rounds and some calamari rings. Then moved to some green salad and a nice fillet Steak. Dammnn that was too yummy..!!!

Guess what now.. Even today I'm going out for party , this time to a far away place, approx 1hrs drive. I will be leaving in couple of mins from now and return back only in the night.. Considering its just going to be 1:00pm, that would loong party to look forward..

See u guys in the room in the night :D

FAQ: How to play music

2008-06-11T18:18:00.005+05:30

Hi Friends,

Most of you ask me or others in the room on how to play Music in the room.
The best and the recommended way to play music in the room is "NOT via your mic" but via your "Stereo mix". I have tired to put up a small video that could help you enable your Stereo mix on your machine

Whats going on....

2008-06-10T21:23:00.008+05:30

Hmmm.... My last post was on Saturday 7-Jun. Its been 3days I did not write anything here.
What could be the reason? Nothing new to write ? Or too many new things to write. Or new things are too personal to write here ? eh..!

Well, as you all know things are going on pretty much smooth. Very soon we might have a small surprise for all our friends. Thanks to one of our friend who is working towards it. Don't ask me the name of the person, I wont tell unless surprise is all ready. Keep guessing, eh...

What has been keeping us busy... [Of course the job that pays us pay cheque ;) ]
Well apart from that, we have been thinking on how to make the room a better place to be. We currently are the most used room under the General Category of 'India and Pakistan'. To continue doing this we will need to invite and get in all our friends here.

I'm sure all will agree that the more people we have the better fun it is and more chance for good friends to be Operators, as we will need them to manage the room. So go ahead invite your friends.

We are also working on creating a forum for the room.

What is a Forum ?
-A forum is public space for open discussion of various topics. The main objective is to provide an area where users can interact with questions, answers and discussions on any given topic of their choice.

If my definition didn't help you understand what a forum is, don't bother much , just join it once we make it live. You will slowly understand and get used to it in few days.

I'm currently working on the same, we have couple of things setup for the forum. Once operational, I feel we will have common place to share info amongst all our room friends. The best part is we can share info even when friends are offline and everyone can read it once they are online in the forum. The info discussed there can be tracked back as it all gets saved on the forum server and will be open to all forum members read at any time.

Hmmm... thats a long post.. maybe I will leave somethings for tomorrow. :)

Till then Friends - 'Jashn Mana Le'

More Updates

2008-06-06T20:49:00.004+05:30

Hi Friends....!!
What did we do yesterday.. hmm actually nothing.... Bcos i got too busy.

We have few friends who have come forward to help us support the room. Thanks to all those members (you know who you are :) ) If the support continues, we will soon have BOT in the room and also a better bandwidth.

So as promise we (me and rajmblr) are currently working on some new camfrog servers improvements.....
We plan to spend our today's entire night on this..!! Hopefully we will have some internal issues fixed.

Today as a Day

2008-06-04T20:36:00.004+05:30

Today was a busy day for me at work. Had too many meetings and had to work on a yearly report for one of the product lines. Have to do similar report for other product lines in coming days, so this 'might' get me busy. Still in that busy time, I took few minutes to update my picture in the blog :). If you have missed seeing it, look bottom right side of this screen under 'About Me' :) lol.

Now coming to Camfrog -
Today was a fun day at camfrog. ;) Camfrog was shuffling up a lot during the entire day.
Once back from work, I started some testing on fixing a personal issue I'm facing with our camfrog room. Still no solutions.

We had 1-2 friends who have shown interest in helping us to get higher bandwidth. Our plan is to estimate total monthly support we could get and if that is sufficient or more than the amount required to get an additional bandwidth, only then we would start the actual process of collecting/accepting the support.

So if you have plans to support feel free to IM me or rajmblr, or you can leave us a comment on this blog too.

We have some Camfrog weekend plans coming up... Will post it in the next blog.

Till then 'Jashn Mana Le'...!!

Camfrog - India Room - Update 2

2008-06-04T01:31:00.003+05:30

Hi Friends
Finally we made some more progress. After coming back from work rajmblr was able to do some settings which enabled multimedia on the hosting network. This is a great progress.

The issues now we face are resource constraints, currently the biggest constraint we have is the bandwidth. I'm sure most of you have noticed the lagging issues at times in the room , this is due to the limited bandwidth issues.

Higher bandwidths are available at extra costs and currently all costs are being borne by myself and rajmblr. Currently acquiring additional bandwidth is slightly tough for us. Any help from the friends are welcome to improve the bandwidths.

So in all, I would say we have completed around 80% of the tasks towards bringing up the backup room (India_Room)

This room might still face small glitches like it 'going down/offline'. Considering our work schedules we will ensure that the downtime is not more than 4hours at any given point of time.

Geezzzzz its 2:00am now.... I should consider getting some sleep now I guess, can't skip work tomorrow :)

Hope to see u all...!! Enjoy to room and feel free to leave feedback or comments...!!!

Camfrog - India Room

2008-06-03T12:48:00.000+05:30

As most of you know, the main room Camfrog_India_Room is down from 2 days. The hosting servers have ran into some hardware issues and we are expecting a delay in it coming up.

In the meanwhile myself and Rajmblr are working towards getting a backup room (INDIA_ROOM) up and running so that all our friends can stay united and don't feel homeless(as most of you told me in IM) :) Its truely the concern and great love for the room from each one of the friends in the room that motivated us to come up with this. So thanks for being our motivation :)

It definately was not an easy task with the amount of constraints we had in terms of (all) resources. We are working to fix this camfrog server issues for the Camfrog's India_Room.

We found out some tricks last night in dreams while I slept for sometime.
Rajmblr has given a lot of steps to take it forward and today I skipped my office to do some testing on this fusion idea we discussed today morning.
Rajmblr being a good employee did not skip work and went to office to work hard :)

But still most of the day Rajmblr and me were discussing items over the phone and IM's and finally we got our stuff working to an extend.

If I had to measure our % completion of the task I would say , we have succeeded in almost 70% of the setup and now things are running quite ok for the external users. We are still facing issues with enabling multimedia effect on the hosting network.

Hope we will succeed soon...... if not we will keep trying till we succeed ...;)
