The infatutation continues . . .

The latest infatuation is reading .. reading fiction ... I used to hate them until the hungry tide session , but this season, they seem to ruling it ! After the hungry tide , this ones is a really nice break .. a funny book .. this kinda flows with the speed of thinking ... simply because the author is a 21 yr old engg student from IIT Delhi ... so i guess the frequencies match somewhere.

For ye all .. this one is a nice company on a lazy Sunday afternoon ... it partnered me for the last two nights and am almost 50% through! At this rate i might finish it by sat evening and fresh supplies will be available only on Monday evening @ Bangalore ... OMG !!!

Chao,

The Hungry Tide

Brilliant piece of work .. Have been going through bits and pieces of this book, initially bought to subside the boredom in the 14 hour flight to Beijing .. But then sleep got better of me and this went into the cabin baggage .. lost the book for the next couple of months before it resurfaced in mah FMB book dump .. Been reading it from Dec 30th .. at a pace of 10 pages a night ... never found time even thought it was totally engrossing and bewitching ...

Made up my mind to finish it today .. and so dedicated my whole holiday to it .. 400 pages ... totally magical content .. kept me glued (Maybe i am exaggerating a bit .. i had a short break .. short mathlab 3 hours .. watched another classical piece of art - Dor .. a good movie .. but lost interest in the end) ... and so it ended ..

Me read somewhere that a good book is something , that is kinda depressing to part with and leaves a tinge of hunger for more by the time it ends .. Well it had all this and lot more ..

Its a story about Kanai - a Delhi based businessman , Piya a researcher on dolphins, fokir a fisherman and some mystical villages in sunderbans .. makes me wanna go there for a holiday .. explore the stuff .. it sure looks a big magical world from the authors point of view .. Worth a read folks .. don't miss it !

And my status now ... its close to 1.30 am ... lost sleep .. a lil hungry ... i guess there's one last ferro rocher left in the fridge now (thank u paaji !) .. psst psst .. vigneshwar gave me two boxload of chocolates the last time i met him in mumbai .. they sure are yummy!

good night !

Love - Pyaar - Bullshit

Recently came across this quote

"Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit."
- Khalil Gibran

Thought over it for sometime and ...

D . A . N . G . E . R .

Lying on my bed, me was contemplating aboutthe marketing assignment around noon yesterday .. was replaying the murti class in mah mind .. when suddenly i remembered one of his sentences ... "You are in the information age ... nothing you do will be opaque enough ! ... its going to be very very transparent .. 5 years from now when u google your name you will find pile load of information for and against you ... you can do nothing about it ... be transparent in business ... else ... blah blah blah" .. eureka eureka ... me thought what does Google have for me on the web .


And hence i started googling ... started with "bharani" .. tonnes of entries .. next "bharanidharan" .. i got my name in the 2nd page in a batchmates.com site ... excited .. i went for the kill ... "BHARANIDHARAN PANDYAN" .. and eeeekkkss .. boy - o boy what did i see .... this blog spot site , stumbleupon and Bmsceeiaa stuff and yes .. batchmates.com ... then something stuck me ..... i froze ... was numb ... then like a really bad nightmare .. i was sweating ... mah dad googles a lot .. so do my employees .. and i would be right to imagine Prof.Murti would be too .. and that explained why he was giving me stares all through the last class .... he has gone through my crap ... and i remembered all i wrote abt people .. it was frightening ..


As a damage control, me made my blog private , wiped my orkut profile clean ... deleted traces from the net and trying to protect myself frm the "un"wanted publicity .... but then murti was right .. need to watch my steps henceforth ... but then, me was connected to the virtual world from my 5th standard .. i guess 1995 .. .so need to fish out lot of remains too ... have a lot to clean up in my recent posts too ... will keep ya guys updated ...

Male Bonding !

This one's dedicated to mah best pal Nimish aka Budda Sharma ... (The dazed guy to the extreme left in the pic)

Had a cutout of this article for sometime in my wallet .. too lazy to jot it down ... but then finally managed to squeeze out sometime last night. So here it goes . . .

"There is a joke about male bonding.A man's wife doesn't come home for the night.The man calls up 10 of her friends and all of them say she didn't stay at their place.One, night the man comes home in the wee hours, and the wife calls 10 of his friends to check. Eight say he had stayed at their place , and two say he's still there.

Male bonding has often been misunderstood. There are any number of pop psychology books on male bonding with pictures of men engaged in unconstitutional activity. It exists in chimpanzees, who form groups to fight rivals in the wild, as much as it exists among soldiers fighting a war together,no less wild. Friendship between males is an uncomplicated exercise of getting together for a drink and talking about whether you're getting any.

That the battle of the sexes never takes a break is as true as the fact that a bottle of rum can resolve anything between male friends.For, women friendship is a long drawn out exercise.You build trust over the years and even then you're jealous of your friend's new bling buy ! For men, its a simple matter of love or hate.Hate leads to fistfights and love often springs out of men who hate each other but get drunk one night and declare themselves friends for life !"

- Swagata Sen, India today Nov 2006


Maybe this better explains the stories (rumors!) of the "alternatives" around ..I guess this reaffirms mah faith abt me being an intergeral part of the "just too masculine *ooh la la* and simply too wild *Yabba dabba doooo*" kinda genetic breed !

Agony time .. firstly i picked up the wrong shirt ... my lovely tie didnt fit in aka my neck was too big for the collar :(

reached venue late .. did the last minute preps and went for the presentation .. it was ok .. went as per schedule .. but then l .. then lost interest midway ... the jury seemed impressed .. but the audience was missing :( .. the company finally listed at Rs113 per share ..

Lunch was good .. but the deserts seemed better ... so went for the deserts straight .. then skipped the remaining presentations and headed back to the hostel at 3.30 ... reached arnd 6.00 pm odds .. madhu took us on a ride .. he showed us his driving skills, his drag abilities , his talents in evadin the "pandus" .. abhi if ur reading this .. i was in the backseat ... it was venky and madhu al the way on ur car :D ...

the rest of the evening was lazed arnd in the hostel .. nothing to boast abt except the fact tht i a really really bored ..

Zzzzz ..

My last big outing . . .

Horny Morning ... Corny Evening

* Random Pics *

An Effective Start

Brilliant - Thatz how my day was .. made up a couple of new year resolutions in the shower.. the biggest one was to ban orkut in office .. it seemed difficult, but then i kinda have the hidden willpower in reserve .. it is used pretty rarely .. so decided to make good use of it this time around .. Reached office quite late .. 10.30 odds .. felt lil uneasy initially of starting the year late .. but then got into work frm the word go ..

Dad's blasting awaited me .. more of work related than discipline .. loads of guys faced his ire .. so we went on to sew the loose ends .. also 1st of january is when you have your inventory reconciled .. so had a huge barrage of CA wannabes invading my shopfloor ..

Had some architects visiting me in the evening.. Kinda elated with the progress of my new factory .. Hopefully it goes on track and will be adding up our capacity by this financial year end .. had no time for internet today , so i guess the loss of orkut aint tht bad.Had a late evening meeting wid my CA about future plans and finances - made a fool of myself , confused him and packed up for the day ... reached home by 9.30 ... You feel really good when u have put in a lot of hard work for the day .. kinda gives you a high ..

Hope the future has loads of work in store for me .. eh .. i forgot to add the moolah part .. loads and loads of them .. *Clarification : No hehe here !*

Sweet dreams !
