Yes! the day has come... long awaited.. the most auspicious day in the history of my car learning! Its time to obliterate the 'L' board from my car!
On this important day, I feel honored to reveal the pros and cons of having a 'L' board..(this list has been made after significant amount of research and experience!!)
Pros: 1. When its your mistake, you can always point to 'L' board with an innocent smile on your face... they will consider it :)
(Caution:This doesnt apply when you go and bang into someone's car!)
2. In the traffic signal, when they see 'L' board they stop a few inches away giving you enough space!
Cons: 1. Even if its the other person's mistake, you have to take the blame coz u have put 'L' board
2. Noone comes to ur rescue as they are unsure of who was wrong! Eventually they end up taking the other party side just coz of 'L' board..
3. If you are a lady driver and 'L' board too.. be ready to face the world!
Today, as usual, i was on my way to office.. while taking a left turn i promptly honked twice.. showed the indication.. I got no response from the other side.. as i was maneuring my steering wheel to take the turn, a speeding police jeep came right in front of me from the other side... stalled just few inches away abruptly.. I was in the process of thanking all gods for not banging into the jeep.. but it dint end there, the driver started pointing at me looking at the L board! i was so annoyed... i was almost burning with fury.. i wanted to belt him badly.. but the word "Police" helped me regain my calmness.. i couldnt avoid some words though which came flying instantaneously... thats when i decided "Its time... " :-)

Life's predicament
Its that time when you get to hear a lot about marriage.. everyone around you are getting married and you will be hounded by your inquisitive relatives.. though you hate it you have got not an option but to bear it with a smile..
Everytime i undergo a trial on this, various thoughts haunts incessantly.. how can a person judge in just 10 mins talk?.. Is it really worth trusting that person for a lifetime? how can u say yes to a stranger? how? why? what?... when im struggling hard to find a way out, it makes a round-a-bout turn and comes back to the point "why a stranger?" worth a thought isnt it?
They say "A known devil is better than an unknown angel". This adage has been hunting me from long time and im confounded by the new dimensions it gets everytime!
Today one of my friend came up with the same scenario. Needless to say, i was again lost in an abysmal space, This is how it goes....
You know a person from quite a long time.. he shares all the happenings in his life and its the same case with you too.. you both share a lot of common interests and enjoy each others company.. close ones who know you both hints you to consider him, but you had never imagined him as ur partner.
Given a situation like this, would you like to ask him his opinion or just leave it there coz you are afraid it might ruin your relationship?? give it a thought........................

Heights of Smartness
I always knew i was smart but never realized i could reach this extent too!
These days im working mostly on installation.. always into coupling various machines and installing various versions of server.. so basically a screwed up job.
Today was one such day.. I was suppose to install servers on remote machines.. Created configuration files for two linux machines.. and hit install.. It came down instantaneously with an error.. an error and that too in a linux machine is a sign "honey you have got hell lot of work" and I was suppose to complete this by EOD (as they say).. that shook me a bit.
Gathering my strength, I started working on various options.. I queried my brain for all sorts of explanation on what might have went wrong... tried connecting to those machines as a first step.. Damn! it failed there.. but with my windows machine i could connect! now thats annoying.. tried pinging the machines.. ssh.. telnet.. changed permissions.. stopped firewalls too.. uh uh.. even cursing made no progress.. after all those futile efforts, when i was still in the process of scratching my head for next option, I glanced at my desk..
The disconnected network cable was lying peacefully on the desk.
