For about a month now, I have been hanging in this state of impairment. The ability to let my torso rule The 8 hours has been deprived by some ongoing activities in my thinkpad. I have travelled innumerable places (every night) this month - month and a half and have seen many faces, climbed mountains, swam across oceans, met friends and friend of friends
But this nebulous state of sleeplessness I am in right now is inexplicable. Going through the motions of understanding it has lead me nowhere but to the 8 letter word - Insomnia.
On a regular week-day getting 6-6.5 hours of sleep is understandable. What I am scared of and what remains unaccountable is the delution and my inability to recognize a weekend (Sat/Sun) as "rest days". Infact its the other way around and most often I find myself asleep for 5-6 hours, thereby adding worries to the existing ones. Fear,Stress, Anxiety are the root causes and I gape which one could be the reason here.
Its all a matter of an hour though, the normal day continues after getting up (or soI believe) and from outside I look sane as ever ;-) . Come to think of it, I have made myself sit down to find the reasons for it and I go blank. Although a while later I see some glimmer of hope and it starts flowing like a wave .. Mocha, Anxiety, Fear of losing friends, Fear of getting old, Fear of not reamaining a bac., Fear of the Dark (no... not the Iron Maiden one ;) dont know what/why.
The worst thing in such a state is that the harder you try to pin a particular reason to the board, the deeper you get into the murky waters. And this trouble kills you from inside, while your thinkpad tries to adapt to the situation (little does he know that he's the creator of the situation) and your body is grilled in between.
And now this freakingly awesome weather has made me go nuts. How can one not get out there and enjoy (forget sleep maan - I say to myself), lets see how this week-end goes. But still, for now I would try to change my routine and my habits to remodel myself in the state I was, and the sane state (which has eluded me) of what they call "8 hours of sleep".

The mist in the air had suddenly vanished and I was feeling guilty putting on my jacket to work every day this week. Daytime temperatures soaring high with the mercury touching 50s and 60s all of a sudden.
The killer weather has put People on streets and some are even ready to bare the essentials (if you know what I mean). As if they have been waiting for this cold weather or this Ice age to seize and it was getting prolonged without any reason whatsoever. It hasn't even been an average winter if you think about it, but we are now ready for the clear skies bright sun and DST s.
No offense but the female species seem to have been affected more (my observation - courtsey daily commute to work) by the sudden change in the temperature as they prove the Title of this post to be very true indeed. But, all in all the weather is getting superb day-by-day and hope it continues to be the same for a while, before it soars to high 60s and 70s, 'cause I detest that like anything.

In just under a year's time we would be arriving near Jupiter. The biggest planet in our Solar system would then be used to obtain a gravitational boost. "Mission Horizon" - thats the name given to the mission by NASA - a spacecraft that carries all kinda equipments to probe the farthest planet - Pluto.
Currently travelling at about 20 miles a second, the spacecraft is expected to arrive at Pluto in July 2015. It would by then have flown for 9 years at a stretch (launched on Jan 19, 2006)!! Freaking 9 years it takes for a one way flight ... damn. The speed by which it's travelling, it would take a mere ~ 10 seconds from NY to DC ... I doubt if the scientists involved in the project currently would still be by then. Transfer of information, maybe .. or atleast thats how most of these things work.
The neighborhood around Pluto is getting crowded (or we are discovering it to be crowded). Hubble recently discovered 2 new moons around Pluto taking the total count to 3. Charon, the existing moon, was discovered way back in 1978 though, and is about half the size of Pluto itself. The newly discovered ones have been named P1 and P2 as the discoverers are yet to suggest a name to the Intl. Astronomical Union. P1 goes around Pluto once while Charon goes aroud the planet every 6 times. P2 on the other hand goes around Pluto once while Charon goes aroud the planet every 4 times.
Strange things happen in this universe of ours with discoveries becoming so common now-a-days with the help of powerful equipments and telescopes like Hubble.

I had bought this book from Amazon quite a while ago. As I had read it before, just wanted to own the Special Illustrated Edition of "The Da Vinci Code", had ordered it via the regular shipment which usually takes a week or so.
It had been more than 2 weeks when I realised that I hadn't gotten it delivered. Email the seller to find out that according to the USPS, its already delivered a week ago !!! Take that .. and I'm like .. No I haven't a clue about the order being delivered. The USPS apparently had delivered it and probably someone grabbed it (or stole it in other words).
Good that Amazon have the policy and I got my money refunded alright (though it is yet to show up on my acct), but it sucks. This has been my first bad experience with Amazon and I believe they should make it a point to use a mode of shipment which would require a signature from the customer. And since the books and larger shipments donot fit in the mailboxes, they are left right at the apt. door which then finds its way to someone elses house !!
Sigh ! I have to get it ordered again and probably ask the seller to make it a point to get my signature at the shipment delivery. For now I stay deprived of reading the Illustrated Edition for a week or more ......

Looks like I'm putting in more Videos out here these days. But couldn't resist these ones -
This Advertisement for the new Honda Accord was shot in real time with no CGI involved in the sequence. It required 606 takes and cost $6 million to shoot and took 3 months to complete. The equipment was so precisely set up that the crew literally had to tip toe around the set for fear of disturbing things, which led to some unexpected problems.
This was an extremely long and challenging process and had to be repeated for every single sound in the commercial, and then learnt by the choir. The whole process took six months from recording the sounds of the choir, experimenting with a small choir, and then rehearsing with the whole choir and learning the final piece of music.

And a bit here and there :D
Thinking of putting in some Google Adsense. The only thing thats stopping me is ...
The way it appears (screws up the appearance no matter where you put it)
Information like SSN and likes that they ask for (am not quite sure yet if I wanna share this info) Though I've heard its okay ... and one can earn some $$.
Suggestions/Experiences welcome on this Adsense...
Also finally got my account approved on Google Page Creator. Click here, but as obvious - its still under construction. Probably my week-end task or atleast could get started.

Fox has commissioned 2 more series of 'The Simpsons' and it would be screened till 2008 now :B ... Simpsons is the longest running prime-time show in the US of A (
currently running in its 17th season). The very first show aired way back in 1987 and by the time its taken off-air (which is .. I dunno when), children born after the series began will be old enuf to write the show ;)

3 years ago on this very day (03/20/2003)a Pandoras box was opened and although dictator Saddam Hussein was toppled, the invasion has instigated ethnic and sectarian strife creating the threat of Civil War.
Over this 3 year period (about 1096 days), over
100,000 children have been killed or died as a result of disease, bad water, starvation and lack of medical care. The number of US soldiers killed during their service has reached
2318. It's not obvious but the total projected cost of the Iraq war is estimated to be a whopping $19,600 per household !! What ? No kidding !!
As we enter the 4th year of "US troops in Iraq", the situation in any city (if there's anything left out there to be called one) remains the same. Bloodsheds, Suicide bombings, People running here and there, waking up hearing gunshots and explosions, Number of soldiers on the road outnumbering the citizens have become a common sight.
Over the weekend, the former prime minister of Iraq said in an interview with the
BBC .."
It is unfortunate that we are in civil war. We are losing each day an average of 50 to 60 people throughout the country, if not more. If this is not civil war, then God knows what civil war is."
I think most of us would agree that it is long past time for someone to begin to stake out a different path. When you've set out in the wrong direction from the beginning, staying the course isn't a legitimate option. But all we can ask is "When" ... when would this end? (if at all it's supposed to be that way)

No !! Its not the effect of alcohol. Neither have I started smoking grass. Though I do listen to Pink Floyd, and am very well aware that listening to PF itself is enuf to make one glide (if not fly) .. a combination of grass and PF is awesome (or so I've heard). What else would flying mean hmm ... Well for once, I try to find what it means ... literally -

I received this email some days back, it was titled "Corporate Information Security - Password Strength Testing". The content was something like this ... "If you have recieved this message it is due to the fact that your Network Logon ID possesses a password that was easily guessed during IT Security's compliance testing using a password strength testing utility. This utility compares passwords to dictionary works, names, places, etc. in addition to adding numbers to the beginning and/or end of the password. Please change your password to one that is not easily guessed."
I did not give a damn at that point and thought of worrying about it later. Very next day, try to login to my box and I find myself being asked to change my password. It was as if I was being held at gun-point "change your password or you'll drop dead" ...
Already running late at work that day, huffed and puffed my way to work, and now this .. start to a glorious day @ work - I said to myself. Pulled my chair and sat down to change the pwd.- a combination of alphabets and numbers that would allow me login and check my email and mainly 'start working' . Little did I know that it would become my worst nightmare.
15 minutes into it, I was still punching in, trying different combinations ..."too similar to the previous one" "should have atleast xxx characters and may include numbers" "shouldn't start with a number" ... aaaarrrggghhhh, tell you I was going nuts and for the very first time I felt like a noob. The eagerness inside me to beat the machine flourishing all of a sudden from no-where.
After using almost every key on my keyboard I landed upon a combination that succeded. Half the work was done. Now came the tough part of remembering that crap. I read the same email I recd. the day before, it said ...
Things to remember -
Do not “hide” passwords at your workstation (under keyboard or mouse pad, etc.)
Be sure to log off all applications and workstations to ensure unauthorized individuals do not use your ID and password

If you are a cricket fan or even know about the game, ought to know that "Cricket was at its best" @ Johannesburg on Sunday March 12th. Every match between South Africa and Australia is a must watch and so was this one. How rediculously sublime a day of cricket it was !!
Aussies batted first and records started tumbling quicker than wickets. SA replied the total keeping the momentum all along and towards the end they had done the unthinkable by not only breaking the 400 run barrier, but smashing through it. Some highlights --
Australia scored 434 (4 wickets, 50 overs).
Ponting smashed 164(105 balls, 13x4, 9x6)
South Africa murdered the Aussies reaching home by scoring 438(9 wickets, 49.5 overs)
SA's 438 is the highest total in ODIs and is the highest successful chase in ODIs.
Total of 872 runs were scored in this match.
Mick Lewis of Aus. found his name in the record books as the most expensive bowler in the history of the game. Conceding 113 runs in his 10 over spell.
The match also contained the most boundaries ever witnessed in one-day cricket. A total of 113 boundaries including 87 fours and 26 sixes were scored. Ponting and Gibbs were responsible for 43 of them.
I think Australia needed this to keep them on the ground and those BS comments made by Shane Warne now has bit them from the rear. 2-2 in the series he was all blah blah about how minnows SAF's were and how they didnt know their cricket. Well Warne, this should keep you mum for a loooong time now !
But one thing keeps popping up all along - ODI is becoming a Batters game and soon we would see scores in the range of 500+ being posted and ..... teams chasing it down !!!

A short trip to NY and nearby places over the week-end. Guess not much scrapping possible as a result. Would be a good hangout ( or we'll make it one ;-) . Ride to Manhattan would be okay but while returning back, it would be a lonely 4-5 hours in the Greyhound ~ sigh ( unless of course I find an interesting person sitting next to me) . And this, I believe would be too much to ask yeah ? Well, it has been my experience for my past 10-12 rides ... duh duh duh...
Of course 'they' have planned to go to Atlantic City (again ??) .. yeah for a change would be roaming amongst the great gamblers and pub hoppers !! Ahem ..

Engulfed in some Sci-Fi, as always, I lay in my Bed yesterday expecting back to back episodes of
X-files 12 -2 am. I'd be nuts if I said I didnt enjoy them yesterday. Lemme put it this way - " The Triangle" and "Dreamland" were amongst the best episodes I'd ever seen. Scully and Mulder were superb as always ...
The Triangle - Mulder goes in search of a ship that disappered in the Bermuda Triangle in 1939. But when he gets on board, Mulder finds that he — and all the passengers and crew (as well as some strangely familiar ones) — are still stuck in the past.
Dreamland - Mulder and Scully get an anonymous tip which brings them to the mecca of all UFO lore — Area 51. But their lifes are altered in a mysterious way ( as if its something new in Xfiles yeah?)
Anyways, so couldnt gather much sleep .. slept at 2 & woke up at 7 ! This has been the case since quite some time now. Boy! Cannot miss them back to back episodes. This nebulous state of sleeplessness I am in, right now, is inexplicable and leads me to nowhere but ... um... -

Lots to accomplish this week-end. I dont know why but find myself taking these 'Blogthings' and now would try to live to their expectations :D ... by Learning Spanish, Being abnormal, Drinking Martini (sigh!) and getting a PhD :)
You Should Learn Spanish |
For you, learning a language is about career advancement and communication.
Knowing Spanish will bring you tons of possiblities for jobs and travel.
Bárbaro! |
| You Are 24% Abnormal |
 You are at low risk for being a psychopath. It is unlikely that you have no soul.
You are at low risk for having a borderline personality. It is unlikely that you are a chaotic mess.
You are at low risk for having a narcissistic personality. It is unlikely that you are in love with your own reflection.
You are at medium risk for having a social phobia. You are at medium risk for obsessive compulsive disorder. It is somewhat likely that you are addicted to hand sanitizer. |
| You Should Get a PhD in Liberal Arts (like political science, literature, or philosophy) |
You're a great thinker and a true philosopher.
You'd make a talented professor or writer.
|
You Are a Martini
|
There's no other way to say it: you're a total lush.
You hold your liquor well, and you hold a lot of it!

"And, oh, by the way, Mr. Prime Minister, the United States is looking forward to eating Indian mangoes. Part of liberalizing trade is to open up markets. And as a result of your leadership, and our hard work, we are opening up markets. Our agricultural knowledge initiative is an important initiative for both countries, where we'll fund joint agricultural research projects"
Are you kidding me? Is he there to sign the the Nuclear deal or what?
Need - Although I congratulate Mr. Manmohan Singh for reaching a historical understanding with the US, the Nuclear deal signed by the two countries has not set a good example. Now, I'm not being a devil's advocate but its high time we started looking for and developing "Renewable Resources" not create nuclear waste and just dump them. Am sure there's gonna be a huge debate on how/where to dump the waste. But I guess the current situation India is in right now, demands Nuclear power.
As an explanation take this - "Nuclear power is a renewable source of energy, and the less demand there is for non-renewable sources of energy, like fossil fuels, the better off it is for the American people," says Bush ...
"Increasing demand for oil from America, from India and China, relative to a supply that's not keeping up with demand, causes our fuel prices to go up." - Voila what a revelation !!!
Never during 24 years of my education have I come across this fact. The fact that Nuclear energy is renewable !!
Responsibility - I have no doubt that we (India) are a responsible nuclear state even though we havent signed the NPT. Now both countries have to think about selling this (Mr. Singh to our Parliament and Mr. Bush to the Congress) - not that it is difficult but Nuclear Fuel is not the solution and am sure in the coming years, we are gonna learn this the tough way.
Future - On second thoughts as someone asked Mr. Bush at the Hyderabad House - " Why should other countries sign the NPT if India is getting a deal without doing so, Sir?"
