Usernames and Passwords

Dear faithful handful readers another random entry for your benefit not actually benefit but maybe something to think about and ponder(love that word, like the ring to it pOnder, I am already sounding drunk, wheres my hot java) Ahem, so here we start again..
I come to office first thing I am greeted by is my login window, after that I log into my office email, business applications, personal emails, chats and then I start getting automated alerts for payments, credit cards, gas bill, elctric bill, phone bill, cable bill and the list goes on. I am sure by now you must be wondering why am I even reading all this, but trust me patient reader there is a point(isnt there one always..)

So heres my point (and I cannot be more blunt abt it unlike MBA reading comprehensions where you go digging for it) when did life become all about usernames and passwords, let me rephrase that, all this makes me wonder when did life become all about usernames and passwords (batting eyelashes looking out of window at the non existent skyline.. always wanted to do that very sex and the cityish)

Actually this username funda starts as soon as ur born, when parents start the quest for the oh so perfect name, name which has not been used already (very unlikely unless they start resorting to underscores, numbers,$#@%, u get the drill) and something that will hopefully decide your destiny (hows aishwarya) or somehow model u into their idols. I mean theres a lot of thought involved in this first username that we are assigned.

But here lies my question, we are given this username but whats the password. How do we log into our life to figure out why things are happening, whos sending mind mails, who really wants to talk and has been pinging forever. Wheres my karma account how do I log into that so that I can see my balance, have my good deeds already exceeded the heaven threshold entrance, or have my bad deeds made me a good candidate to change my career path to become a successful lawyer. How do I log into my destiny account to see where I am headed, can I see what stopovers I will have or is it a direct flight, is it red eye or blue eye or bright eyed. Wheres my life expectancy acct, how many years months days do I have to figure this problem out.

So many questions and no passwords. I am quite sure my username is my given name and all these accounts are tied together. These hidden accounts keep functioning with scurrying activity but just no access watsoever. And how about the password, where is it? I believe the password is sequence of events in life (talk about a random sequence no one can hack into) the choices I make, the paths I dont take, the decisions I leave to time.. I am pretty sure thats the password, no wonder I myself can never make it out its like the value of Pi unpredictable, surprising, with no clear intentions where its heading and never ending....

MBA, wat say?

Back to blogging hoping my handful readers whom I remind everyday to read my blogs are having fun.. My tempramental obsession is preparing for MBA, this is a bug which bites me now and then and I google some online free exams score something and smirk at my above average score. This is a never ending cycle which happens every few months, my egotist evil side keeps convincing me that I am way much smarter for the job I am currently doing.. but it could be other reasons.
Why engineers want to pursue MBA and give CAT, GMAT, doormat, ulti-mat(I know bad one but cud not resist..) who cares so here goes

Reasons to go in for MBA or mgmt position:

1) You hate coding, there was a time when I thought I could find a cure for cancer(oops wrong time period I was preparing for medical then)when I thought I could give bill gates a run for his money(yea I was that ambitious, I am not going to admit stupid although it seems like apple guy, steve jobs is the one for now) but within few months of working I realised how boring coding can be and how subsequent attempts at it slowly rusts your brain and dampens any leftover spirit..

2) Managers just keep asking who is doing what, that is after 2 years of obtaining a degree, I mean cmon I can be really competent at that..

3)They just have to know how to work with MS word, ppt and if really proficient then MS project and here I am struggling with the complete new version of some application every few months, what upgrade does Word ever have some new font I never knew about

4)Make some good dough, who would not want to get paid for asking folks wat work are "You" doing, you really get paid for that

5) Gives you a lot more visibility in company and if u r smart enuff u can patao some big hotshot(at least thats what i keep dreaming off) are both the google folks taken already..

6)More rep in family I mean engineers are everywhere, u pick up a stone and u will find 50 below it thats how many there are, every remote village has an engg school but MBA now that suggests you had money(look at the education cost) and will finally land a good job (or how the hell u plan to pay off all those education costs)

Thats all the inspiration I could muster, wat say people, any more reasons to go for it or as Nike profoundly said Just do it!

Home alone!

So this is my first night blog, hopefully it does not turn into something creepy. So before we go into more vaguely important matters, let me justify the title of my posting.. So I do live with roommates but today its just me.. Now ever since I watched home alone, I have loved the whole idea of having the whole house to myself to mess around, eat sleep and watch tonnes of TV without any parental control, actually moving to US has been pretty much playing home alone all the time.. but having no parental control kills the fun overtime.

Now to another completely random topic, TV :D so I am big sucker for reality TV. So today as a typical surfer I am watching, biggest looser, beauty and the geek and some movie hide and seek. Whenever I am not watching multiple thgs I always feel that I am wasting time. Talk about dakota fanning shes one of the creepiest kids, I mean just put her in a movie and it will be scary you dont need anythg else. I still feel immature when I watch her. De Niro's her dad I mean the movies gotto be scary Godfather overseeing war of the worlds got to be scary ok I admit it was not but sit alone at home on a slightly chilly day and see people loosing weight, while nerdy people date beautiful people(I dont get the big deal abt that dont all the big old, cold celebs have pretty wives, gfs, etc etc) and de niro singing some lullaby its gotto be scary..

So moral of the story, dont look for morals in random vague blog, keep watching reality TV and enjoy playing home alone oh yea finishing on douglas adams hes gonna be a regular here btw "For a moment, nothing happened.Then, after a second or so, nothing continued to happen." So Long....

Vaguest Blog ever! worth your time..

Heres my foray into the land of blogospher so pardon my intended puns and unintended mistakes. To start with let me quote douglas adams, "Time is an illusion lunchtime doubly so ". Time is an illusion.. and my lunchtime is complete Maya.. Its right there in front of everyone to see, yet it can only be seen by those who really seek it and its a neverending cycle that goes on and on and on.. or so I believe to think..or like to believe.. talk abt circles, ahem! cycles and maya..
How many of you have witnessed that sense of Deja Vu we keep suffering from esp when it comes to relationships (Yes the R word) not mine but others.. This exact same stuff happened to me and this is how everything screwed up in the end, the screwedupness is inevitable in every case thats a constant.. This particular line of thinking is followed diligently by people who are out of this R rated movie but desperately want to get back into one or not now that is a question no one here reading this blog cares about.. If you are wondering, the title was clear, vaguest blog so dont screw up those brows any more or you will get those wrinkles and illusionary aspect of time will start loosing its credence.

So back to the R word now people on the other side of fence do exhibit a couple of other very strong points, for instance when they are not in a relationship they have all the time in the world to talk abt any topic under the sun, but as soon as they find a significant or potential or for that matter any person who is willing to give them any time the sorority time is out of the window.. henceforth all sense of deja vu endings with how this vip in their life changed every single thing. If it is in context with your line of thot then you are lucky or else you have just been bestowed with an insight into the lives of the young & the restless and the really happy folks..

My lunchtime illusion is slowly coming to an end now.. So those are my vaguest thoughts for the day. Truly yours vaguely..
