Addicted to Gadgets

2006-07-31T15:45:00.000+05:30

Gadgets ,I don't know how many would admit it but it does excite you , it sure does excite me . Some people buy it for status ,some buy it cause its cool ,some buy it cause its new and very few ppeople buy it cause they need it. It sure is one of the place where money goes down the drain . Its amazing how fast technology is growing and how we adapt to it so easily . Its kind of scary too in a way . I am a gadgets person and I have got my hands on everything I can own right now from the latest phone to laptop to digital cameras to handycam but my cravings for a new one really doen't stop , I know i am kind of an implusive buyer but it sure is additive to me .

Music

Although music has always been a great influence in people's life over the years ,I feel people are more and more into it these days, music comes in all types , a person is lured to be unloyal to one stream of music ,which is good .Its even difficult to judge who is better and especially in the Hollywood scene looks like if you have the mullah its quite easy to be a singer.Everybody wants to try their hand out in music cause they are done with everything esle,people like Linsay Lohan ,Brittany Murphy and most shocking Paris Hilton decide one day looks more like out of boredom or attention decide to become singers and yet successfully go with the flow.You start thinking how many talented people are around or is it true that technology can make perfection as long as you have the money.Well hard to figure out but as long as its music somebody or the other always have the ears for it .I guess that the magic of Music .
Look at the band like Maroon 5 ,I never thought I could like them but listening to them I realize they are really fantastic and have actually got addicted to them ,I was wandering what type of music the would come under and found out that they come under Neo Soul Rock which is quite surprising.(Neo soul (also known as nu soul) is a musical genre that fuses contemporary R&B, 1970s style soul, and hip hop. It is the third major sub-genre of contemporary R&B, after the new jack swing of the late 1980s/ early 1990s and the hip hop soul of the early to mid 1990s).I think they are very much like Oasis and at the same time very much close to Wallflowers.Well thats just my opinon.

Never Argue with a Woman

2006-07-27T22:49:00.000+05:30

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and
decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife
decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors,
and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the
woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"

"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start
at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says
the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you
could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also
think.

It was 1st April,2001 ,when one of the music legends DEEP PURPLE came on a tour to Bangalore and I was really exicted about it cause I was just about to join my job in Bangalore at the same time . And I was like I am not going to miss this. I reached Bangalore and checked into the hotel, the Winsor Sheraton .And the best is yet to come, the people I work for are the Co-Sponsers of the concert so I asked my boss for the passes .And did I get ? not only did I get the passes I got a VVIP backstage passses which they themselves are using and thats not all,we were there backstage and took photographs and Autographs . The concert began and guess where we get to watch right under the stage even before the camera people and we were actually one feet away ,it was just amazing and when Steve Morse was throwing his guitar pick's it all fell on us after we got ouselves a handful we threw it to the crowd.It was just fabulous watching and hearing them play 'Smoke on the Water ' just a feet away from you.
The concert finish and we went back to the hotel and guess what DEEP PURPLE happen to be in the same hotel, I had to go to my room so I took the lift and no kidding the BAND came in the lift with us. I still get goosebumbs everytime I think about it.

Last night was the second audition of the SUPERNOVA, and if thats how its gonna be then the Supernova are gonna fail finding somebody,they were lousy. I know how jittering it must be to try and impress three legends of the some of the most famous Rock group in history but do you need to try so hard and mess up the whole thing.Just because they are rockers you think being cocky with them is cool and thinking they would like it ,I don't think so. Its far more than that , they need somebody to fit in.Ithink some of them should not be there at all.

I ,like everybodyelse would still think Zinedine Zidane is ONE in this World Cup. But a thought comes to my mind what's got into him that made him do what he did ,what colud have been so bad, believe me I was all for him but I have to agree France has lost because of him .

His name is going to be remembered definitly not for all the trophies he hoisted, all the glory he brought France, all those sparks of magic that flew off his feet game after game, year after year.All of a sudden, it's almost like they never happened,because the most gifted player of his generation, playing his last and final match on the world stage, will be remembered now for something else - petulance, Careless,selfishness.

All because of one moment of tragic fury. In the 110th minute of Sunday's World Cup final, Zidane lost his cool,lowered his head and butted Italy defender Marco Materazzi full-on in the chest.

THOUGHTS

Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to deal with those rough days along the way.

There's work to do, deadlines to meet;You've got no time to spare,But as you hurry and scurry-ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
In the midst of family chaos,"Quality time" is rare.Do your best; let God do the rest- ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
It may seem like your worriesAre more than you can bear. Slow down and take a breather-ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
God knows how stressful life is; He wants to ease our cares,And He'll respond to all your needs A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

A Email from my Aunt

2006-07-07T13:31:00.000+05:30

I just had one of the most amazing experiences of my life, and wanted to share it with my family and dearest friends:

I was driving home from a meeting this evening about 5, stuck in traffic on Colorado Blvd., and the car started to choke and splutter and die - I barely managed to coast, crusing, into a gas station, glad only that I would not be blocking traffic and would have a somewhat warm spot to wait for the tow truck. It wouldn't even turn over.

Before I could make the call, I saw a woman walking out of the "quickie mart" building, and it looked like she slipped on some ice and fell into a Gas pump, so I got out to see if she was okay.

When I got there, it looked more like she had been overcome by sobs than that she had fallen; she was a young woman who looked really haggard with dark circles under her eyes. She dropped something as I helped her up, and I picked it up to give it to her. It was a nickel. At that moment, everything came into focus for me: the crying woman, the ancient Suburban crammed full of stuff with 3 kids in the back (1 in a car seat), and the gas pump reading $4.95.
I asked her if she was okay and if she needed help, and she just kept saying "I don't want my kids to see me crying," so we stood on the other side of the pump from her car.

She said she was driving to California and that things were very hard for her right now. So I asked, "And you were praying?" That made her back away from me a little, but I assured her I was not a crazy person and said, "He heard you, and He sent me." I took out my card and swiped it through the card reader on the pump so she could fill up her car completely, and while it was fueling, walked to the next door McDonald's and bought 2 big bags of food, some gift certificates for more, and a big cup of coffee. She gave the food to the kids in the car, who attacked it like wolves, and we stood by the pump eating fries and talking a little.

She told me her name, and that she lived in Kansas City. Her boyfriend left 2 months ago and she had not been able to make ends meet. She knew she wouldn't have money to pay rent Jan 1, and finally in desperation had finally called her parents, with whom she had not spoken in about 5 years.

They lived in California and said she could come live with them and try to get on her feet there.So she packed up everything she owned in the car She told the kids they were going to California for Christmas, but not that they were going to live there.I gave her my gloves, a little hug and said a quick prayer with her for safety on the road.

As I was walking over to my car, she said, "So, are you like an angel or something?" .This definitely made me cry. I said, "Sweetie, at this time of year angels are really busy, so sometimes God uses regular people."It was so incredible to be a part of someone else's miracle. And of course, you guessed it, when I got in my car it started right away and got me home with no problem. I'll put it in the shop tomorrow to check, but I suspect the mechanic won't find anything wrong.

Sometimes the angels fly close enough to you that you can hear the flutter of their wings.

..Psalms 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee. He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."

Here is the prayer:
"Father, I ask You to bless my children, grandchildren, friends, relatives and e-mail buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace, In Jesus' precious name. Amen."

Being blessed is GOOD...being HIGHLY FAVORED is best!

10 THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT JOHNNY

2006-07-06T20:13:00.000+05:30

1. HIS GOOD LOOKS
Those high cheekbones, those soulful brown eyes – it's no wonder why Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean costar Keira Knightley calls him "eye candy." But the chiseled actor (in the Bahamas in February) doesn't get the fuss about his own allure. "I have no idea," he says.
2. HIS DEVOTION TO HIS KIDS
Becoming a father to Lily-Rose, 7, and Jack, 4 (with ladylove Vanessa Paradis), "has given me great strength, great perspective, great calm," says Depp. At home at their $2 million villa in Plan-de-la-Tour, France, a favorite activity is heading with his "kiddies" to "the trampoline and the swing set, and we'll stop by the garden and see how our tomatoes are doing," he told Newsweek.
3. HIS TATTOOS
Depp has been getting inked since the early '80s and has more than 12 tattoos mapped out over his body. "I jot down experiences that mean something to me – jot them down permanently," he told The New York Times. They include his son's name scripted on his right forearm and daughter Lily-Rose's above his heart, and a Native American profile on his right bicep paying homage to his Cherokee heritage.
4. HIS GRATEFULNESS
He doesn't take stardom for granted. "Johnny has been through the sausage machine of Hollywood and come out the other side still standing," says Pirates costar Orlando Bloom. In fact, Depp (in L.A. in 2005) tops Autograph Collector magazine's list of the most generous celebs. "He's even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage," says editor Steve Cyrkin.
5. HIS RETRO STYLE
1940s-era suits, vintage fedoras and well-worn shoes are classic Johnny, but Depp doesn't consider himself a sharp-dressed man. "I was 3 years old and my mom and dad dressed me up as a hobo for Halloween. The only difference between now and then is that then they drew more beard on me than I can actually grow," he says.
6. HIS SENSE OF HUMOR
Getting slimed from head to toe at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2005 was "a lot of fun," says Depp. And the actor has earned a rep as a prankster: He planted whoopee cushions on the chairs of his Finding Neverland costars and gave Leonardo DiCaprio "disgusting things to smell" on the set of What's Eating Gilbert Grape, says director Lasse Hallstrom.
7. HIS ECLECTIC FRIENDS
Depp "gravitates to outsiders," says filmmaker pal Jim Jarmusch, and his chosen company shows it. Depp has counted among his friends Marilyn Manson (left) and the late gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, whom he played in '98's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. After the writer's 2005 death, he even footed the bill for a lavish sendoff at Thompson's Woody Creek, Colo., ranch.
8. HIS SENTIMENTALITY
"I always have on my little trinkets," says Depp of his assemblage of accessories, including a plastic necklace made by daughter Lily-Rose, a medallion bearing her name, and a leather cuff modeled after the one he wore in 1986's Platoon. "He has little superstitions, and things that are comforting to him become his friends," says pal Jarmusch.
9. HIS CHAMELEON WAYS
The Oscar nominee has made an art of disappearing into his roles – among them, (clockwise from left) Captain Jack Sparrow (Pirates), Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), a Cuban transvestite (Before Night Falls) and Hunter S. Thompson (Fear and Loathing). "With all of my characters, it's just depressing to leave them," Depp told Rolling Stone recently.
10. HIS LOVE FOR HIS LADY
"I just knew, you know, it's over with," he told Oprah Winfrey of meeting French pop singer Vanessa Paradis in Paris in 1998. Since then the couple (in January) – who've never married – have been inseparable. "Our story is love and friendship united," she wrote in a tribute to Depp in French Elle. "I have the impression that no one could love the way we love."

I think Brandon Routh makes a fine Superman , for an amateur he did a brilliant job and he look georgeous but Iam sure he'll get more comfortable as he moves on.The is definitly a striking similarities between him and Christopher Reeves and I am sure Chistopher Reeeves would have approve of him had he been alive.

WHO R YOUR "F-R-I-E-N-D-S ?"

2006-06-27T16:41:00.000+05:30

Everybody needs a Friend but all your Friends are not your good Friend.Whats funny is as for me I have good Friends who I can share things with and I have good Friends who I can't share things with but rather love hanging out with. I have Friends who I have been Friends for a long time but hardley see each other but yet when we meet up there is absolutely no strangers . I used to think making goods as easy as making a is a cup of tea but as I grow older that totally not true.The Friends you make at a point in your life when you have less priority are the ones for keeps.They grow with you and are there when you need them ,cause they themselves have to go through the same thing, unlike the Friends you make later when your head is full of things and you don't even know what comes first.Goods Friends are forever.

My NIFTIANS Friends,Shilpa,Anutam,Nair,Rajdeep and myself.

This are good friends of mine who I've know for ages ,we all are in

different places but we meet up and catch up what we miss .

TRAGIC LIFE

2006-06-23T23:01:00.000+05:30

One fine day I got a call form my mom telling me news that shock the hell out of me, a cousin of mine Benjamin passed away just like that, we are not close in age but all I know is that he is his parents blue eyed boy, never a time I spent with his parents thats went by with out talking about him.I really don't know how they are gonna live their lives. I found this one poem which I hope would make them feel better.

Here it goes....
When somebody dies, a cloud turnsinto an angel , and flies

up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow.

A bird gives the messageback to the world, and sings

a silent prayer that make the rain cry.

People disappear, but theynever really go away.

The spiritsup there put the sun to bed,

wake up grass,and spin the earthin dizzy circles.

Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during

the daytime, when they're supposed to be sleeping.

They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves

splash and tug at the tide.

They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes.

And when they singwindsongs,

they whisper to us,
Don't miss me too much.

The view is nice andI'm doing just fine.
