At a time of life when people just start living their SOP or Statement of Purpose (Its usually the admission process into an US univ that triggers our common Indian's search into thyself... the essence of his life), I have already achieved my purpose in life!!
yes... I have finished watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. !!!!
Its been an hour since I finished watching the grand finale... Haaaaaah! Words fail me, guys.... :D
So, here...
To The Best Days of our Lives
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your lovelife's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
But I'll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you (like I've been there before)
Cheers!!
(Hear it is The Rembrandts)
BTW, Thanks to Matter Mahadevan..
ha haa haaa!!!! Here is to the best blonde joke of the millenium!!

Duh!
Been a long time.. and then I caught up with quite a few of my friends today. In the middle of all the frenzy, taking some time out and getting in touch feels good! And the best part is.. with these people, it never feels like we were out of touch.. we get back right on from the place we left!
... that includes some fellow bloggers too.. met Sujatha, Surjo & Varun at Barista. Great chatting you guys.
On the same note, I am looking forward to meeting quite a few guys that I graduated with. One of them is in India now on vacation..

Assortment No. 1
Did you watch today's (sunday's) Aus vs SA cricket match?? Just AWESOME!!!!! Alas, I could catch only a few glimpses of it... Have you recorded or TiVo'd it?
------------------------------------------
Watched a Tamil comedy drama by Y G Mahendran at a Malleswaram Hall.. It was quite a laugh riot.. Had good fun!
Also got to see some of the Tam community (read young ladies ;) living in blore.. In fact, one of them was recently crowned Ms. Chennai it seems. As luck would have it, I saw her just a couple of hours earlier at 18th cross Cafe Coffee Day. Is the universe sending me (and her) some message ?!?! :P ;)
------------------------------------------
Hmm... it seems to be that time of the year when almost everybody of my generation in my family is going out of the country!!
Just a month back, my sister went to NJ, USA on work and a cousin sister went to Hamburg, Germany. My cousin joined her hubby there after about 2 - 3 months wait. Yesterday, another cousin's hubby left for the US and that cousin is leaving for Germany next week. Today, yet another cousin's hubby left for Belgium!!
Well.. I started it all with my trip to the US last year :)
------------------------------------------
What are your thoughts about speed dating? Did anybody check it in bangalore? There was one scheduled about a month back... just about the time one of my cousins was getting married in chennai and I had made my plans for that already. Otherwise, I probably would have checked that out.
After that, there has been no news on it.. even the website seems to be off now!

No Sex Tonight?
Awesome!! got this joke via email from Vivek Neb.
-------------------------------------------------------
One evening last week, my wife and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said "WHAT????!!! What was that?!" So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?"
Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits.
She couldn't decide which one to take so I told her we'll just buy them all.
She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said lets get a pair for each outfit. We went onto the jewellery department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings.
Let me tell you...she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."
She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement.
Smiling with excited anticipation she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier." I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it."
Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled,
"WHAT???!!!" I then said, "Really honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman." And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either.

Striker @
Monday we had our all-hands at Le Meredien.. it is a li'l more than a year since our Analytics group started. It was the time for another quarterly review of our performance as a group and also to clarify and focus our energies in the coming quarters. (We live by quarters, you see :)
Its been a wonderful journey.. Growing from a team of 5 people to 65... from one business domain to 5-6 business domains... from 3 cubicles to almost one-fourth of the floor... But what had not changed (till now... should i touch wood?!) is the excellent leadership and the sheer high expectations they have on us.
As I had said earlier, the omnipresent energy and enthusiasm of our worldwide VP... just amazing!!
Anyways... at the end of it, was the time to recognize people for their performance last quarter. And lo! I got this Striker @ Dell award for my 'outstanding functional excellence'!!
And today, the 7th, I complete one year of post-MBA work-ex! It definitely feels nice....
