Purple maze

I have been working on the layout and look on my blog. Actually since the last few weeks I have been switching between the various templates offered and could not agree on a single one. But I guess I like this new template of mine. I feel its more elegant and simplistic. I have always preferred combinations like white in black background. There is only one thing which I do not like is that the about me part comes at the lower bottom and I would prefer it in the top right corner. After banging my head over for quite some time I left it alone , which is actually my nature of leaving things alone when they get too fussy. ( An apt description about the word " light lena ").

I also changed the name from "Geeks do not lie " to " Purple maze" .  I got attracted to purple maze for two particular reason

1) I have a perception that the word Purple has a royal feel to it and it feels good on my ears

2) I feel that the phrase Geek does not suit me any more 

PS : I watched this play called " Love in December " on Gullu's advice and there is only one word for it AWESOME

gtalk messages urf Vella panti

Since the last few days I have started reading a few blogs and I came across of two people who had created a post out of status messages. Well I guess I its time for me too write a blog on similar lines for it might turn out to be a interesting exercise.

( for all it might be I might not actually continue with it for there are around as many drafts in my blog as there are posts :) )

Ritwik : inter vs United : 10.109.7.22:222 ( Ok the boring one ! )

Arindram : Players are temporary , the game is forever ( bullshit in the mask of philosophy )

Shruti bardia : the circle of life ... ( Why so intellect madam !! )

Bharat Satija : I used to care but things have changed ( 2009 b school placement effect ?)

Bhumika : Boo !! ( the less said the better )

Saket : Testimonial written for me and some link ( somethings are left better unsaid !)

Saurabh Gupta : The greatest trick devil ever played was to convince the people that he did not exist ( He looked alright while he was in college , probably IIMB gave him a rude awakening )

Vijay baby - 2 oscars ARR ( He is a factual guy !! )

Krishanu : there is always hope ( probably high on ganja , hope that he might find some more ganja )

Abdul : recommends " Boiler room " ( now thats useful, will definitely act on the recommendation tomorrow )

Indranil : Feeling nostalgic for the great times i spend here with friends @ XL..wish i could relive some of those moments ( you are an fpm candidate you would stay here any way after we go :D !! )

rajkumar : Jai ho !! ( come out of it dude !! )

Akshay Rajgopal : Black ! ( black what , hole , sheep , mail, out what what ? )

Siddharth : 4 lectures now ( now that's a student speaking !! )

Utpal : Busy | the world has grown so bad that wrens make prey where eagle dare not perch ( two things , i dislike this style of two status messages , secondly its getting too philosophical )

Ohh shit there are a few more , but I am feeling too sleepy to continue with it, plus these people are all idle so their status messages do not count. Waise at the end of it i feel that i have written such an uninteresting blog that even i would not read it again even for checking spellings :D

Blog address

I am in a dilemna 

I like the look and feel for the look of a wordpress blog 

I am also attached to my blog where I post very infrequently 

Testimonials

Well I had been feeling bad ever since the testimonial portal opened up and ever since the deadlines for   testimonials kept extending for my laziness but today I have shed all laziness and written straight 14-15 testimonial. But actually it was difficult for me to write a testimonial for I was out of wits what to write 

For instance should I write all sugary like something below

" He is a very good natured , hardworking guy. He has a great mind apart from a great heart "

I mean one of the XL er actually compiled all the testimonial written for him and put in his blog and the blog link as the status messages. All his testimonials were composed of similar sugary stuff. Well that's OK but I failed to grasp that if he finds his torn and tattered year book 10 years from now in his old trunk would he care to even smile at such sugary comments. Plus the other thing is that I feel that it is totally a gay feeling to write such mushy comments about some body.

So at last I decided to go with the flow and write whatever comes to my mind the first thing I start writting about him be it hindi or english, be it slang or vocabulary stuff, be it sensible or non sensible

PS : I think i have done a decent job writting the testimonial albeit some people would not approve of some of the comments but again I am sure people will have a smile at my testimonials 10 years from now :)

You

You don't look beautiful any more

Your words do not look sweet anymore

Your thoughts don't trouble me any more

I don't feel the need of you any more 

Photo Upload - Discrimination

When girl uploads a photograph we have comments like you look cute , so sweet , gorgeous coming up !!!!

When a guy uploads a photgraph he is constantly showered with comments, placement ka kya haal hai, companies aa rahi hai :D

Roger !

Roger Roger Why did you loose  ?

You just took away the hope that everything can turn out to be the same again !

Planning

Sometimes not planning can be the best plan you can ever make !

J.O.B

While I was coming to XLRI , my HR manager advised me 

                 " Don't join any company which offers you something which spells J O B"

I did not know he was telling that sarcastically !!!
