Alright, So Its "That" Time Once Again....

I am sure that you must have guessed "which" time I am talking about here :-) . Yep, I am leaving tomorrow for a program. Its been almost a month so I am feeling good about it. There is still some tension over my head and I won't do a mistake of assuming that its going to be an easy tour as well. I just hope that all goes well within the program. Do pray for me guys, I am going to need all of your prayers and wishes as like always!

Review, 2-States By Chetan Bhagat….

Most of the time, I read Oracle related books. Its not very often that I do get time to read anything else. Its either some market book related to Oracle or the books that Oracle University supplies that are around me. But this doesn’t mean that I don’t like to read anything else. Don’t believe me, no honestly its true! I do like to read and I have made a promise to myself that I am going to increase the count of non-oracle related books as well. So towards this, I took an initiative and read 2-States( Chetan Bhagat) few days back. This post is part review of the book and part things which I felt after reading it. Chetan Bhagat has become a household name with his novels. A banker turned novelist, he has hit the right chords almost all the time with his novels which are almost inspired from the real life stories. This novel is again inspired from a real life story and guess whose, of Chetan himself! Yes its the story inspired from the life of Chetan that how he got married to love

A Semi-Failed Shopping….

At times, when you really to get some thing and don't get it despite of your bestest efforts, it just makes you feel really bad! And if you are like me, who doesn't let things go so easily, you will be agreed that the level of frustration reaches to the 7th sky.  The same happened with me yesterday when 3rd attempt of mine for buying something got failed. Just for the record, it wasn't due to any fault of mine but truth remains truth, I still haven't got what I was looking for. Though I did have a very good time with a friend of mine, did do some shopping still but that feeling of satisfaction is not there. Sigh! If you have read this blog post of mine ( and I would suggest to read before reading this one) , you must be aware that I spent a lot of time to find the brand of trousers that I wanted to get for me, Dockers! But I couldn't find it anywhere. Even when I went for the 2nd time with my sis, we still couldn't find it. Though we did buy few formal trous

Airtel & Twitter, A Promising Combination....

Twitter has gained a surprising popularity in a very short span of time. Almost everywhere you see, you can feel its presence. Some may call it time wastage( which is even true to some extent) but in a broader angel, its still one of the best mediums to stay connected with those whom you know and also with those whom you don't know personally. Looking at the immense popularity of it, there has been a flood of applications which have been created for almost all of the available platforms , either for a desktop or for a mobile device. All said and done, there are still not many who use all those features subject to the numerous limitations that they face, be it a device which can't go over web or they simply can't afford to have a web connection bill added to their monthly plan.  This may not be a very serious question elsewhere but in India, it surely is. But this shouldn't stop people from India from using Twitter, should it? The answer, if you ask me, is a big NO and

Wish You All A Very Happy Diwali….

Darkness, sadness, failures do come in our lives. To some extent, they are needed too as if we don’t have them, we would never be able to value joys, happiness and success. In the same way, evil is out there everywhere but it must end and it does too. Diwali is the name of this only, representing joys over sorrows, good over bad, justice over injustice! With being the biggest festival in India, it also brings hopes for the new year that the next year would be even more better than the one which is passing by. As like the darkness of Diwali’s night is taken over by lightening of firecrackers and candles, in the same way, darkness in our lives due to any sad, wrong things would be taken away next year. Diwali is the name of a festival to be with our families and friends, making the bonds between us more stronger than ever before and also making new bonds with new friends! And Diwali is today! I wish you all a very happy and prosperous Diwali! Have lots of fun by having lots of sweets, w

7 Facts About Men & Women….

Men are from Mars and women from Venus and fortunately ( or unfortunately, what ever you may want to call it) , they have to be together on planet Earth :-) . So the classic saga of Mars vs Venus is going to be there for forever! Just to add one more small piece to that, following is a list of 7 things which men and women do. I have got it in email and surely enough(at least for me) , its a classic piece! Have a read and let me know whether its true or not, Men 1) All men are extremely busy. 2) Although they are so busy, they sill have time for women. 3) Although they have time for women, they don't really care for them. 4) Although they don't really care for them, they always have one around. 5) Although they have always one around them, they always try their luck with others. 6) Although they try their luck with others, they get really pist off if women leave them. 7) Although the women leaves them, they still don't learn from their mistakes and kee

Finally….

Okay that must be the shortest title that I might have used for any post I guess but that's actually for a lot of things which I would mention in a while. So keep on reading to know what came out finally :-) . I guess, its almost nearly 2 months that I have written something over here. I did write some short posts but they were more or less "fill in the blank kind of stuff" . So the first "finally" is for "finally a blog post" :-) . There was some serious tension that was there over my head from quite a time, making me not to do anything, not having a single moment of relief as well. I can't say that I should had been so tensed. Some close ones mentioned to me that I am in  a useless tension but may be that's how I am, if some thing gets struck in my mind, its a bit hard for me to get it out, at least in an easy manner. So from the last 2 months, I have wasted alot of time , slept much lesser than even before, thought about tons of things whi

Which Gender Is A Computer....

I haven't written much, thanks to some unwanted distractions and tensions which are still not over. I just hope that they are gone asap. In the meanwhile, I just received this in my mail box and I guess, its good enough to bring a smile. A good one IMHO, A French teacher was explaining to her college class that in French, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. House is feminine “la maison.” Pencil is masculine “le crayon.” A student asked, “What gender is computer ?” Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups male and female - and asked them to decide for themselves whether “computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation. The men’s group decided that “computer” should definitely be of the feminine gender (la computer) because: 1.. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 2.. The native language they use to communi
