I feel I can spare some minutes now, so let’s restart.

I have started a new blog related to Eclipse and PDE. Ya, its all technical stuff and that’s what am really busy with. So till I achieve a balance with the new work, this blog remains paused. Hope to get writing here, not soon though.

This is wiered but it is so. I noticed almost all the traffic to my blog is coming through condron. But this shouldn’t be completely unexpected. This is an obscure unknown blog and any chances of it to get eyeballs if through a blog roller like condron. Am not complaning :)

I had disappeared again for long. Been busy with life. And now a baby to keep me more occupied than ever. Don’t think any body here would have missed me :) But just in case you did, me is back. At least trying to be. Won’t be as regular as I used to be.

What’s new?

Nothing much. I made few disclosures recently. Things didn’t turn out rosy. Ideas get shot down. Need to face it. Will talk/crib about it more but later. Some more quotes, some fundas but lets see if it can be more innovative. Will try change some flavor.

Wish you a very safe, peaceful and joyous New Year 2009.

The definition for “Happy” changes each year. And I believe this year Happy means being safe. And being at peace – with self, with others, with mother nature and with God. These are difficult times and might it be getting darker ahead. But I wish you sleep peacefully – not having to worry about you job, your mortgage, and your family’s future.

So wish you again a “Happy” New Year. We will be discussing more stuff. More of innovation and less of my dose of philosophy :)

I have been away for a while as I was busy welcoming new addition to our family. We were blessed with an angel last September the 1st, 2008.

Hope to be back and regular here again.

for the appreciation and your valuable comments.

In case you been wondering where have I disappeared. I was too tied up with work. And now when work had finished, I took a break to recharge. Feeling good about life again. We will be talking again soon.

My sincere thanks to all my friends and well wishers who not only kept me motivated to keep writing but also suggested ideas and topics. We will soon be discussing them as well.

Sorry folks. Google made this post number one search result (which off course I didn’t expected). You probably were looking for The Dark Knight quotes. You may find them at

Original Post

It was a dark weekend. I couldn’t bring myself to write anything new or something useful. And more i follow news; I see Two-Face all around. We are all mad. With our minds poisoned. To such extent that we are standing on the edge and all we need a push. And the saddening thought is – that push will come. Sooner and not later.

And when we tip off that edge, what will we do? This reminds me of a quote from the epic Mahabharata.

Who survive the jungle fire? Only those who live down in holes!!

Should we start digging our holes already? But where? And The Joker wasn’t wrong.

You’ll see, I’ll show you, that when the ships are down, these uh… civilized people, they’ll eat each other.

And no one can deny that. When things will start getting bad, morals will be the first causality. What difference will it then make that we belong to so-called civilized world or not. We all be worse than animals. Is that really how we will meet our doom. God help. And God save us. Am all down and out. Losing My Religion.

No movie intrigued me this much. And see the circumstances. We watched the movie. Come out thinking. Reach home. Only to find out there has been around 8 blasts in the city. These are really dangerous times. And it has only started getting darker. So the dawn must be far away.

Human mind is so easily corruptible. It amazes me that it the same mind that also invents and innovates so much. Yet it falls pray to emotional traps. May be that’s why we were given a heart as well. But we choose one over another. Instead of marking a balance, we move to one extreme and then call is human nature. Nature never made humans like what we are today. Nature evolved us. True. But now slowly we are deteriorating. Corrupting ourselves. Racing towards our own extinction.

Y’see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little…push. And Mad Mad World it is. The more we are innovating to connect and collobrate. We are slowly trapping ourselves in a vicious loop. We create something. And then we see it correupting our minds. Then we innovate something else. Same story. Over and over. Yet the minds, capable enough to solve quantum mechanics yet so stupid to not even see its own doom. May be because we have created so many ways to end ourself, that now we only can say for sure.

Recently while reading SlashDot, I came across this nice set of Technical Jargon aka Targon.

We need to deliver world-class e-tailers, aggregate bleeding-edge channels while growing our virtual bandwidth and benchmarking one-to-one deliverables. That is not to say that we redefine dot-com experiences and maximize B2C web services all the while revolutionizing end-to-end mindshare and monetize front-end deliverables.

But this is not just for humor’s sake. I have seen people actually talking like this. Blabbering endless list of targons. Without bothering to pause and check if their audience is still awake. This is one of the most common mistake that we notice in Technical Presentations. Even the simplest things starts sounding like Greek and Latin.

What really differentiates homo-sapiens from other species is the ability

  • to count - that gave us all the mathematics
  • to deduce - all reasoning and logical capabilities came from here; pure sciences too
  • to express – all the symbols, languages and literature than born out of it
