Best pickup line.... ever!!!

Well this one is really funny and I have to get it out. I just can't wait and think of writing a full fledeged post about it and I am sure by the time I get the time or willpower to write one I would have most definitely forgotten about it. Ok, so here it goes...

Decent looking guy to an ok looking girl....
"Do you want to play carom"?

Wow!!!! Ain't that funny, who asks a girl out by asking her for carom. I know I am dumb, but even I can bet my life that no girl ever, ever and I mean ever forever will say yes.. But sadly I was proved wrong and the girl actually went out with the guy.... I guess there is still hope for me :P

A perfect place to work....

1) Unlimited music streaming.
2) Place for hibernation, so that you can focus and work alone/productively.
3) Ahh!!!! Unlimited supply of coffee.
4) Like minded people to discuss ideas when you are not busy hibernating.
5) Time/opportunity to let you do other hacks besides work. In my case I want to play with all the latest hardware available in the market besides writing code.

Will post more if I am able to think of any thing else or if I am able to remember about this post, whichever comes first.

Love for social networking demystified...

I love social networking, so much that I have always been the early joiners of every social networking site that has ever come up. Be it orkut, facebook, twitter or more recently google buzz.

I guess one of the reasons for their success is that these sites allow people to express their opinion/mood/basically themselves in few words. Thing with blogging is, to make a point, to express something you have to write a couple of paragraphs. But nothing like this is expected from you on these social networking sites. In fact they encourage you to keep things simple and short. I guess it is an inherent tendency of ours to get heard, to get noticed, we want people to listen to us, to our opinion. But many of us are not capable, rather don't bother to write a blog about these things, and social networking sites present an easier an simpler solution to express yourself.

Well I am one of such people, and I guess that is why I am so high on social networking.

Jobs I wish I can do, but never will

While waiting for the bus in the morning, it hit me that what are those jobs that I so wish I could take, but never will.. So this is my bucket list of such jobs and I plan (ahh.. I plan.. well I know at this very moment that this is going to flop) to keep updating this list...

1) Bartender - I guess this one was to get easy girls and free alcohol. Life of a bartender looks so much fun, but as I am writing this down I am actually thinking how much stress they have to face when people keep shouting at them for their drinks, worse than stress during our project deadlines.

2) Waiter @ a food joint - This was/is(still not sure about it) a part of my American Dream job. To study in a college and work at burger joint for that extra cash :P I guess the reason behind the love for this job is to meet different people.
