Getting a chance to put down something after a while. Keeping busy lately. A plugfest I attended in Taiwan and then work has been pretty overwhelming. Though the Author is not here to brag about his workload. Other thing that has been keeping me busy these days is matrimony. YES. Et tu Author !!
I would write a conventional/traditional/philosophical constipated rant about it later. I would write about people we all love to hate during this whole matrimony thing.... Our parents. Though during this whole process I came across variety of specimens which I am trying to classify and thats the focus of this post.
Disclaimer1: Author is not a disgruntled specimen in this market. The author is a tall handsome individual who earns well beyond the average salaries for an average IT joe and his profile statistics reflect that too. The female readers of this blog are encouraged to leave their contact details in the comments field :-)
Disclaimer2: No chicks were harmed during the writing of this blog post. If it turns out that all the characters here are real then any coincidence is a work of fiction and WUI [ writing under influence ].
Either case, coming back to the thesis - So the categories roughly go as
1] Rohini Hattangadi Types - Well just by the looks actually. Secondly this variety has not yet lost the baby fat. Has some time on hands [ 23 yr old or something ] for the parents to be alarmed reasonably and the realization to sink in that you arent drop dead gorgeous.
2] Miss Cheap Chick TM - This one looks wise is oppositte of former one. Yes she is good. Though she is dumb. Which did not get her a job in campus at college. Miss Cool does not secure a bf from college. Age wise this specimen falls in the same league as Ms. Hattangadi. Now the work at hand this one has is to register on these portals and work on the GRE.
Typical demands are - Settled in US, State - Any. When the demands are not met, this specimen resorts to Guirella tactics and drops the whole thing.
3] Miss Cheap Cheek [ Ulhasnagar finished Miss Cheap Chick TM ] - This one is undereducated, ghastly in appearence. Though the expectations match miss Cheap Chick TM.
4] The NGO Types - She is the most sweet mannered chick AKA Gayatri Joshi in Swades except her looks. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills. Though she is too nice for a lazy cheap psycho like the Author.
5] The multiple personality disorder chick [ AKA Miss Edward Norton from Primal Fear ] - This one has conflicting statements in two versions of her profile across portals. Especially around the smoker and boozer..err...drinker field. Typically this one makes a nice trophy page 3 wife.
6] The Crossdresser Chick - Guys who are bad at filling up the sex field at these websites.
7] The Little Red Riding Hood Chick - Typically, the chick's baap, bhai etc hiding behind the PYT. Very dangerous variety.
Stay tuned for more ...

BCCI - I am back !!
They have a portal called www.bcci.tv where they claim that their website is coming soon. How soon ? I guess it would be when Duke Nukem forever would be released.
Apart from ICC there is something called asian cricket council. Well apparently as per the ACC website the BCCI head-office is still SK Nair's house. Check this page on ACC website.
Check this page at Marylebone cricket club [ MCC - Lords ] website. SK Nair strikes back.
Check this page on Newzealand cricket website. Even Bangladesh cricket has a website. Hongkong cricket has a website. Whats wrong with BCCI? And whats with SK Nair? Wake up Pawar, we arent that dumb. Gone are those days. Face the flak. Wherever the office is..update the address dude. Even Kiran More is gone now. Why have Nairs name there ..
I sincerely request all you guys to drop SK Nair the ex-secretary an email at the email ID mentioned below and ask him what was he thinking when he put up HIS home address and this stupid email address called secbcci@sify.com [?] as BCCI contact details. Poor guy...not his fault. But I mean was he nuts when he did that?
Here is how the conversation would have went - when ICC/ACC/MCC wanted the contact details.
Timeframe - Navaratri - Durgapuja days
Location - Somewhere in Calcutta.
Nair - Mr $[Dal]miya, I got a "fax" from Malcom Speed. They say they need our contact details and web address.
$miya - Website? whats that? Why the fuck do they need that. Tell them people in subcontinent dont care about what-is-it-called..website..
Nair - Err Sir, there is this thing called Internet which is a series of tubes. Everyone has their address there these days and its required apparently.
$miya - Crap, whatever. Look I have to go. I got to go talk to the Ten Sports guys. Lot of $ at stake you see. Why dont you put your residence address for now on that Internet?
Nair - Err..Okey Sir. But they need an email address too sir.
$miya - Email address? What on earth is that? Look Nair I have to go its important.
Nair - ? ...Sir..
$miya - Okey, hey why dont you go talk to Saurav I guess he would know about it. Talk to him and figure it out. Afterall, if he is not doing good with the bat, he better be good with this whole email thing. Now I have to go, getting late..
[ And the rest is history. Not only Saurav solved Nair's problems, but he did create few for $miya too and he did all that using EMAIL ... ]

Apple and their ways !!
They send me this newsletter saying the Nano is available in new vibrant colors etc. They have upgraded the max capacity to 8G. The new Nano looks like a thinner version of Mini. Okey fine, I never wanted a PINK nano or something, but that makes me fear if the new ones make my black nano obsolete?
Well, there is a catch - Now the 4GB Nano no longer would be available in black. You need to get a 8G one. And all those vibrant colors are available only in 4GB version of new Nano.
History repeats itself. Apple has always made money on colors. Why do you think a black MacBook for same configuration is 200$ costlier than the white one?
My 4G black Nano is a prized possession. Thank you Apple !!

My Gulti Fan
Well, I have been packing up for my long ride home from SFO to MUMBAI, I returned my rental car today so weekends I am kinda locomotionless. I had procured enough fuel for the weekend anyway. So since its my turn to get bored and stoned, I decided to get onto yahoo chat. And since I was stoned I just got onto it onto the #India chatroom with my primary ID.
I use gaim for messaging, I like it. Gaim sucks at times with its tooltips getting stuck on a specific region of screen area. Today I noticed that even when I signed out of the chatroom gaim didnt log me out completely.
The author would like to dedicate the following post to the developers at http://gaim.sourceforge.net and the makers of Heineken who made this possible. The author is also greatful to Redpine Signals, for hiring the author for a period of 2003-2004, and letting the author discover the gulti mess called Hyderabad.
So, gaim didnt sign me out completely and it started a series of 99% gulti IMs when author was busy freeing up disk space for pr0n and consuming Heineken.
Disclaimer: I am least bothered to mask the IM Ids in the following conversation, if you try bug the author, you would be reported to yahoo. I dont know about the other man. Gult chicks, maybe you can try your luck. So here we go.

Pink Fluid
I would like to call these stories Bay Area cronicles or something, which quite doesnt rhyme as much as Sunnyvale slut [ The enlightened ones know ]. But I would resist temptation as that is not a central theme here -
So here goes another incident. This is more WikiHow'ish in nature. So the place where I park my car has a tree overlooking it and I dont know what that tree's problem is but everyday my car is sprayed with more and more stickeyish substance.
While this wouldnt matter much otherwise, but on the windshield it hampers my visibility so much that, eventually I ran out of windshield wiper fluid.
When this happened and I used the vipers it left weird sticky scars of the sticky substance all over the windshield and made a big mess. I tried the Jim Carry way of driving in Me Myself and Irene but did not help. Although owning a car back home I wondered why I wouldnt know about this thing called WWF [ Windshield wiper fluid ].
Initially I thought its OK to put water in there, which would sound THE normal thing for anyone. BUT I was wrong, they dont do it that way here, because in colder climates the thing can freeze and can lead to fuse being blown off etc etc. Although being in bay area, I decided to give the scientist in me a try.
So I got to know that after googling and checking number of discussion boards that
1] Its not water, its mix of water detergent and methanol for changing its freezing point.
2] There are howtos about how to make one yourself at home. I Concluded myself that I didnt care about the freezing point here, using my desi more than average sized brain. So I did not care about the methanol part. Else some Jack Daniels I got free due to the store guy's mistake would have been handy. [ Ethanol / Methanol, point is to bring down the freezing point ].
Now comes the big question - The prepartaion.
So here is the recipe.
Ingredients -
1 - Empty mineral water bottle
1 - Loo [ Preferably with not many people in it ]
1 - Office [ With a water dispenser]
Method -
1] Get the empty mineral water bottle from your car.
2] Take the bottle and head to the loo.
3] Pump the liquid soap in the bottle.
4] The bottle is tall enough not to let you use the tap to fill water in it. Consider getting those plastic cups in loo to fill bottle. Else go back to office and use the drinking water dispenser to fill it upto the brim.
5] Smile at everyone and greet everyone who enter the loo, or collegues who look puzzled about the pink fluid in an Aqafina bottle.
6] Close the cap. Shake well.
7] Walk up the car. Open the hood [ Requires some research, but not a big deal ].
8] Read step 5 when people in parking lot give you puzzled and weird looks.
9] Observe the various tanks and caps and read the labels. DO NOT, DO NOT pour this stuff in the tank labelled power steering fluid, or even the radiator [ It doesnt tell you it IS the radiator ].
10] Look for the sign of wipers or familiar on a cap, pour the stuff in that tank.
11] Try out the wiper washers to check if this works.
12] If you cant locate the WWF tank,during 9] ask a collegue who doesnt demand that you fill his WWF tank too with this stuff.
13] Ignore the poor sod who says its a "special" liquid and you will have to get it from the store. He is an ass.

I have been itching to pen down couple of [??] interresting incidents those have occured, since I have landed here in the ultimate destination of every desi, the bay area. These things need really really elaborate posts and effort and its more likely that I would get flamed. But what the heck this is my space and hit Alt+F4 if you even get the slightest doubt that you might not appreciate the contents ..
So here is an episode that happened two days ago - I was getting back home and had to pick something for dinner. There is one mexican place on El Kamino here and they serve some nice grilled chicken. So decided I go there. Interpreting makka accent or maybe its the problem with all these eateries ..so here is how the conversation went ..

Makki: What part of the chicken [ This i could hear ]. The leg [ poiting at her leg while lifting it a bit ], the thigh [ Doing what pehelwans do in akhada ] or the breast [I dont remember this part]
Me : [ To cut it fast ] Legs
Makki: [ Although I said I wanted corn and fries for sides,you know how this army of robots works ].
Makki: [ Sticking to her beliefs about her new FOB customer ]
Makki: What would you like for sides [ pointing at the various sides available on a piece of paper ]

Me : [ "Hurriedlest" ] Yeah Yeah

I am getting popular as junta's spam-saviour on the web, particularly for this hard-drive killer virus. Check this and this.
Secondly henceforth I am going to block all those idiots who are still sending me those junk IMs on yahoo about j_neutron07. Meantime I have made good friends with some romanian who added me when I attempted adding j_neutron07 ;-)
Another search keyword thats brings some traffic here is bcci website. I have no idea what stops them from putting up one. Either case I guess I can easily win one of those Nigritude ultramarine contests ;-)

harshalx (2/9/2006 8:58:18 PM): if someone by the name of j_neutron07 wants to add you to their list dont accept it. Its a virus. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on your list adds them, you will get it too. It is a hard drive killer and a very horrible virus. Please pass this on to everyone on your list. We need to find out who's using these accounts. Right click on your group name of your buddy list and click Send Message to all. Copy and paste this message
Another piece of scum. These types hope for everyone to send this spam to each and everyone in their YIM list hoping maybe the service crashes or something. I havent fully understood the motives of this one. Or maybe yahoo is trying to collect the list of all big idiots out there and terminate them [ That would be the day ]. I keep getting these from "friends", I wonder why are they bothered about my PC's health. So I did all the "dont-dos" described above. I sent multiple messages to this j_neutron07 guy but got no reply and I also added him1 to my list and whooaa nothing has happened as yet. No I am not using a thin client.
1 For I suspect its a he and I deserve my freedom of suspicion.

To read the following you need to posess the uncanny ability not possessed by mortals to read Maay-Marathi [ ok thats Marathi ] spelled in Roman script, for the author has some acquaintances who only communicate by this method of communication. This is a uncut - unedited YIM conversation between yours truely and an old friend[??]. Sometime its just difficult to keep up.

Idiocy at its best !!
Before you read the following - You might want to check RFC1855 for netiquette guidelines. It clearly states that your network previllages will be revoked if you forward chain mails. [ They do it in Intel ].
Did you ever receive this email stating that some three year old was raped in South Africa etc. This email has a big list of idiots who protest this hypothetical phenomenon. Then this email urges you to append your name and forward it to as many people as you can.
Ohh did you just ask how would that help? Noo you arent supposed to ask that question. Forwarding is fun isnt it? Afterall we are all given email ids and they have to be put to some good use helping mankind. Pure plain (#().
While its a serious issue - how on earth would forwarding that email help keep that CPU A.K.A child protection unit open? Get out there and help if you want to idiots.
This email also urges if you are idiot_number 120 to mark a copy of the same to that_poor_soul_getting_spammed@child_protection_agency_or_whatever.
Now watch this, I am this stupid birdbrain of whatever_gender [ I dont want to invite flames based on gender issues, although its observed that chicks often are seen to lack the analytical skills that are necessary to fight this scum. ].
So back to where we were, so I am this mortal_no_119 on the list and I work for this_company which has 2*119 number of equally idiotic populace working with me.
And I forward this to all@employer_of_idiots.com and eureka all my fellow idiots [all of them on number 120] send a copy to that_poor_soul_getting_spammed@.. .
Innovative ways to spam right? The success rate is dependant on how good did all the number_118s perform. Principles of any chain reaction apply here. Hence if you want to craft a scum like this in the name of Lord Balaji its advisable to choose a number of this order.
Coming Up - A whitepaper titled Choice of the spam threshold - A case study.
What disturbs me is when someone I know and thought "was" normal forwards me an email like that !! Ohh yeah and thats gonna leave out quite a few number of ppl who can_not read_this_post. Sorry buddy but Tuesday's gone.

BCCI website
[Edit 2] You are fooled by the torpid BCCI, they do-not have a website and this is not the place to look for it. Thanks for being one of the numourous pitiful souls who search for it and land here everyday. Sequel to this post, i.e. Nair-Saurav-$miya-Pawar special edition here
[End Edit]
[Edit] If you are looking for the BCCI webpage, it does not exist and you have wasted valuable time searching for one. This is no attempt of cybersquatting. Ironic that the idiots do not have a website still. After months of wait finally the India page on the ICC website is updated, The original article was written which is kinda irrelevant in the current context of things is below.
[End Edit]
Instead of a CEO the need of the hour is a website for BCCI.
Have a look at this page for BCCI @ the ICC website.
See that mallu address there? Guess its SK Nair's home address or something. Who SK Nair? Ohh he is the Ex-BCCI secretary. Oh you can spam that email id too if you wish to.
Now have a look at the page for australia. Ohh yeah cricket australia has a website.
Even Karnataka State cricket board has a real great website.
And talk about professionalism and CEOs ...long way to go Mr Pawar !!
Even Barmy army has a website you idiots ........
Someone get those lunatic bongs to protest for a website than for whats-his-name's exclusion .... !!
