Today as I woke I know that my sleep even though conditioned because of hectic schedule had been sufficient for the moment, but I promised to myself that whenever it will comes again, I would not prevent it.I would let nature to draw me into it and let myself get indulged into lethargy, coerce myself to get horizontal.If fortunate, pull myself away into the softness of a pillow and bed……………………
But unfortunately……here i am sitting in my office , working on my PC…..and cursing myself for making that promise….coz “I CAN NOT SLEEP HERE ”

]]> . But atlast i could fetch a way out for myself. I would also write my comments and reviews for each novel, if anyone of you, reading this blog differs on any statement made by me then ur thoughts would be highly welcomed and appreciated .

The Zoya Factor -by Anuja Chauhan : Loved Nikhil and Zoya’s Character

The Ring :Less horrifying than the movie
Not a penny Less, not a penny more - by Jeffrey Archer :The exact same story of what happened in Satyam

]]> )Lately i was reading an article in the newspaper which spoke about ‘Twitter’ and i must say , this is the latest hot property in social network, afterall its 1.2 million strength of audience has risen to 6 million in just one year : Legendary!! When i first joined Twitter , I felt like i was in a noisy room where everyone was shouting and nobody was listening.Frankly i did not like the concept at the first use, it was less of a friends chatting tool and more of a self-promoting site .But soon i learnt the difference between a ‘friend’ and a ‘Follower’.Relationships on twitter are not reciprocal like that on Facebook or Orkut,here one can follow anyone without being followed himself - Good for me , coz on doing some wandering in twitter i discovered that some high profile and celebrity users like Ashton Kutcher, Jimmy Fallon , Lance Armstrong, Kevin Rose are a part of it. ( Boys……Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Demi Moore can also be followed here
), so next time if you see some celebrities in my following list( probably as ‘followers’ some day [wink] ),don’t be astonished . Oh and by-d-way U.S. presidential election used Twitter as part of their election campaigns.President Obama certainly did, as did Hilary Clinton and John McCain.
Some news for PHP lovers ( including myself)……..In late April 2008, TechCrunch reported that, due to downtime related to scaling problems, Twitter would abandon Ruby on Rails as their web framework and start from scratch with PHP or Java. Although this news was soon debunked , but get ready all you php guys…there CAN be scope someday
And guess who are the potential expected buyers of Twitter-The very same Yahoo and Google!!
The best feature of this site are its applications (nearly 2,000). And the beauty of Twitter is that you dont have to commit to it;no one expects you to read all the tweets rolling in
So what are we waiting for ……….Happy Tweeting to All !!
]]> .I would have never even imagined tht a knowledge base of 4 years would get compressed ( using Win RAR ) in a brain in just 2 and a half years, Hats off to CSC for doing this. It has been a very challenging and fruitful work experience; an experience which I will look back upon with a sense of satisfaction & accomplishment.
Working in Office of Innovation, CSC was always enjoyed……. - those challenging project ideas ( which use to pop up on daily basis),installation of new softwares everyday, those brainstorming sessions ,those emergency bridge meeting calls,Trainings, Partner sessions,client visits, last moment rushes, branding propagandas,etes time entries, T.T matches sessions,Team lunches, Mentoring sessions, Newsletters and presentations creations …….every thing was throuoghly enjoyed and worked upon with full spirit.
I have seen CSC going through a sea change in these 2 and a half year : Covansys , FCG-CSC mergers, Organization architectural changes, brand innovations, 13 buildings of CSC noida conglomerating into a single Noida DLF-CSC campus,network communication changes ( white phones to Intelligent black phones ), and last but not the least OOI-Head changing from Srinivas Polisetty to Ganesh Swaminathan.
But as they say “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened” hence keeping all these memories with me i am moving forward to the next phase of my life , where pbly more responsibilities and more studies are waiting for me. I would like to wish everybody the best and may God bring all the happiness and help you to accomplish your goals in life.

).And guess, what was the reason of this delay,well…. there are many, but lets put the blame completely on ” Was watching Friends”. And trust me its a good and a “blame-able” reason.Anyone who is a fan of Friends can watch it for hours without break.but wait… before i start the detailed analysis lemme tell u that how i landed on watching Friends. ….The complete Friends Series was a gift to me by Kalpik , a very good friend of mine, on “Friendship Day ” ( So all the friends around the world , now u know that what can be the best gift to be given on Friendship day , Right !)Hmmm. I am currently watching the 7th season and am already deep down in love with all the Friends Actors , esp. Matthew Perry aka Chandler Bing. I have almost stereotyped the cast members with a mind set of mine :
Rachel Greens(Jennifer Aniston) : Stylish, bit Selfish,great Career
Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) : Competitive, Caring, Homely, Prettiest , Gemini
Phoebe(Lisa Kudrow) : Kudos!!, bit wierd, most matured of them all.
Joey Tribbiani(Matt LeBLanc) : Cute, “How you Doin’? “
Ross Geller(David Schwimmer ) : Sweet, Homely, 3 broken marriages,
Chandler Bing(Matthew Perry) : Witty, Funny,Smart, Trustworthy
I wish i could meet them some day. :).If anyone has the email addresses of these ppl then plzzz share.
]]>I wish to quote here , at the beginning of this illuminated and lucid blog , an illustration to the blog title
” That which we call a rose…………………By any other name would smell as sweet “
Just Imagine, if we all had some other names then had we been equally proud for them? Well…….i dont think so( for myself atleast).JLets rename things for eg lets call glass-> car and car-> glass, now how will this sound = ” Can i have a car of water ” or ” Lets go on a long drive in ur glass” (funny).Even worse if Shahrukh Khan was to be called Amitabh Bachchan and Amitabh as Shahrukh ( only diff –> Aishwarya would have married Aryan 
).
