The Quirky shows and me!

Well, all of sudden, its again, raining posts. No wonder i have the headroom to think now. Tomorrow would be the start of a new week at the office and i just want to pen down some random thoughts in my head currently. Actually as a reader do not try to search the head or tail for this post as that might only lead you to the Jurassic Era(Worst Reference of the T-Rex after Jurassic Park - 3).

So what i have been upto these days, other than sitting at this lame terminal is, watching two of America's most popular Sitcoms. One is the very generic, How I Met Your Mother and the other one, The Big Bang Theory(Neither this is related to the origin of the universe nor is the name of a C-grade porn movie). I believe i am late joiner into the HIMYM club but TBB is also an equally cool show to watch(Yeah only sometimes and not always). Its kind of funny how this character by the name of Sheldon Cooper in TBB resembles to one of my best buddies for the past 8 odd years, Sauvik Biswas. There is a whole new defination to the phrase, "Pleasure in Pain" for both of these charcters. Yeah they are not the one you are thinking, they are "The Sadists" in their own rights.

Infact Sauvik is a nice guy and so is Sheldon. Both of these charcters live in their own timeline (Mr.Einstein there is one more Dimension now, a subdivision of your fourth, its called "Selfish TimeLine". More aptly as STL. Don't be curious/skeptical about the word "Selfish" as it only means living-in-your-own-world here). There are benifits of adding this attribute into your already-overwhelming-list of traits. With this quality, you would be able to enjoy even the biggest tragedy's of life. Well, guess what is the most frequent one that you would enjoy? Yeah correct, BREAK UPs. Though you might enjoy the synergy that comes with this trait but on the hindside you may become rigid and a little of Staunch. You may always want to add your PJs at the most grave moments even when you are in the middle of a Lament. Ever so much that people would slowly have metrices defined by your name (Ref : In IIT KGP they said that 1 Sauvik of PJ is deadly for any normal living human being). Slowly you would decipher that it is your cult way of getting to the nerves of people. No wonder you would love South Park and sing songs of Uncle F*cker. And as soon as you sleep (even without the knowledge that you have gone into sleep) you would find yourself sleep walking to the hall of fame.

All said and done, but with all due respect, its hard to be One Sauvik or even One Sheldon. Its worth to take inspirations from them at when the things arn't going right for you. You can just flip the funny side and say...Hey Sauvik, i just cracked a 1 MiliSauvik joke (Ref : This particular post)...and before you as a reader can decipher and laugh at it...I am SLIP walking to my bed.

2 years of ...Experience!

So it happened. I have completed my 2 years of Work (I was working before that too) as a software professional. Well, too much of an out pour when i am trying to figure out what to put in for this post. What should i say, i moved to Bangalore on 1st August 2007. But before that, i was a part of the Chennai Safari for 10 days. Bangalore looked like the place to be when i landed for the first time. Temperature always under 30. No humidity and arguably the best working environment in the whole country. My office was no different considering the stories i have heard from other parts of the country. Lotsa hot chicks on the streets of Bangalore and so many expensive cars. This was new to me, considering that i hail from a very small town in Bengal where a Santro would be a rare site. But no, i kind of feeling glad that, i have landed into the Rock City of India, the place where all international artists pay a visit. I had heard a lot about Bangalore Rock Scene from over in college, but during my juvinile days, i had known it to be the land of Rahul Dravid, Anil and Srinath.

Things started off quite decently at office. I got into project right away, without any formal training that we hear about. I had always this fear that i would have to work even on weekends and that the IT industry is too unkind for people as far as work is concerned (Refering to services companies for the time being) but touchwood, i never had to come even once in office over on a weekend thus far. Yes, it has been dipsy dicey at office with the amount of work i have done, sometimes it has gone to extreme of staying back till midnite from morning. But i should say, this is one thing in my life, which has been consistent. Something which has given me a sense of security over the past 2 years. But that's like the glorified look of the things. How about the muscular pains that i have developed recently. There is also this sense of scrutiny that has come into life now, whatever i see in my life goes through the cycle of effort estimation, documentation, coding and then execution, followed by a tentative time for the verification. I have made some people's life a little difficult by following these norms who are actually happy human beings. I have learned a new meaning of respect now, where we don't only worship our seniors but also find ways to impress them by ccing every mail to them. I have understood that, smart knowledge is respected more than extra intelligence. Sticking to deadlines is one good aspect that i learned but then that has lead my patience going for a toss when i am in with normal people. Somehow i stand at the nook of realising that this industry will not let you survive if you want to deliberately do things which are good. You have to smart and man that is the key word.

It has been funny too at the same time, when i have come across people who have given a whole new meaning to that word smart. I have seen people saving money and people throwing money to make more money. I have seen plastic cultures of showing respect and appreciation. I have also seen that how a human life gets constricted in front of 15 inch monitor and a 20 inch long keyboard. I have seen how people slowly give up on everything and make coming to office the part of their lives. How people actually search for ways to celebrate and break the monotony.

Well, i have been a victim of the above, but i have tried my best to fight it as well. I have given up on sports mostly which has been my second love after music but still today i ensure that i atleast play a game or two of table tennis. I have continued my music, in way the office has helped me to build the contacts and communication skills which just got sharpened. Its just like a dusk waiting for the dawn but i don't know how many more years are ahead of me and how many more years i am going to sustain in this industry.

Love Hate Tragedy!

DJ!

Leave this town!

2 years and we have the sophomore album by Daughtry. I am in the process of listening to it. I know lot of you might think, its an industry made sound. Cliche, formula. All agreed, but it makes me feel good. I have always wanted to sing like him. I have always wished that there was atleast an American Idol in India. Unfortunately that is not possible and i don't want it either. I just would die without singing. I want to fly with it. Somehow i don't have the wings, somehow i am not the one spotted yet and maybe i would never be. Sometimes i wish to break free into the open skies but then insecurity pulls me back. I strum by guitar till the strings break and ask god, that i wish there was someone to listen to me. There was someone who would keep me inspired to sing. Anyway, i shall keep it coming, its my living necessity as same as air and water.


Cheers to music!
BTW...check out our new single: One song for Dystopia...here is the wallpaper to it :)! Keep rocking!
