Dead or Alive

Its interesting to consider whether a person is more valuable when he or she is dead or alive. I am not joking, consider this. An artist makes a good living with his/her art work. However when the artist dies, the value of the work goes up zillion times. Now i would say the artist is worth more dead (bless the poor soul) than alive. A good doctor, a honest firefighter, policeman save lives, so they are worth more alive than dead. However if you consider corrupt politicians or a bureaucrats, they drain the economy when they are alive and the economy recovers when they are dead. What would be the value of commoner like us ? I would say price increases everyday like an inflation in third world country but does the value really increase ?

Wonder-Full World

I have always wondered what, why, how in life, take for example right vs privilege. Certain things are called as rights and certain things are called as privileges. People mostly consider speech, privacy are important rights where as most people consider license to drive , voting as a privilege. I am not going to dwell into definition of right and privilege but just wonder. As we know privileges can be taken away but not rights especially in democratic countries. Well if its freedom of speech then you have it as long as u r not disturbing others and if you do then u r considered anti social, same goes with privacy. On a funnier side if you consider democracy vs authoritarian govt, I wonder which is harder to please ? A bunch of people or a single person ! Anyways one thing is for sure, you have neither rights nor privileges, you have only responsibilities... Grow up !

Indian Girl

Well I am a desi ... a techie desi! what else do you expect ? Here are couple of song rewrites. First one is dedicated to that south indian techie girl and second one is to my college gang back in bangalore.

Based on American Girl by Tom Petty

Indian Girl

Well she was an indian girl
Raised on rice and yogurt
She couldn’t help thinkin that there
Was a little more to rice
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to eat to
Yeah, and if she had to eat
she had one little chicken
She ate with my vegetarian

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an indian girl

It was kind of cool that night
She drove alone in her altima
She could hear the bridges roll by
Out on I-90
Like code compiling in the IDE
And for one tiny moment there
He crept back in her memory
Like the bug in exe
Something that’s so "core dump"
And still so nice

Oh yeah, all right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was an indian girl

ANDAS (pronounced as Un da sss)

Well after almost 3 months i am writing my next blog. This one is little different cos it will be all about ANDAS (pronounced as Un da sss) meaning egg in hindi. My good old friend rohit came up with it for my fundas (Anmol's Fundas ). Here is why ...

One lil disclaimer ... If no one has ever claimed (am sure for good reasons) any of the fundas below I claim the ownership to them.

Once a wise man said "there are 2 kinds of people, astronomers and astronauts .... i wud be the former one"

Let me start of with some interesting thoughts and Qs

Q: Why is the world round ?
A: Cos the grass is always greener on the other side ! (For those of u who didn't get it. round doesn't have sides or has infinite sides ... go find u r greener pasture!)

Question my friends is not whether the glass is half full or half empty...Q is are u thirsty ?

A real PJ..
Q: What is the diff between a 120lbs dumbbell and 120lbs girl ?
A: One is a dead weight and other is head weight.

Something for SETI(search for extra terrestrial intelligence) believers...
Scientifically lot of people truly believe that odds of alien existence is very high, now here is a religious or philosophical proof. Almost every religion or region of the world has a story where people die and become stars that shine in sky in nite, now my point is, there are not enough dead people to make up all the stars so there has to be an alien race to fill the equation. Go SETI !

Here is one for human rights (for those who think stoning is a form of punishment)
Use "pot" not stones to get stoned !

Miserly
When you try to save a lil, you loose a lot.

G-Force
The reason we have gravitation - so we don't get carried away by our dreams.

Ahoy perfectionists
If you become perfect does that mean you are a perfect replica of perfect ? hale originality!

Automotive love
Sex is like car, it depreciates as soon as u drive out of car showroom but if you hang on to it sooner or later its going to be vintage. Now thats a bargain !

Couple of pickup lines that are useless nevertheless pjs
Guy: Greetings alien!
Girl: what ?
Guy: You are out of this world! ...... well so am i ....
Guy: you know as they say men are from mars and women are from venus!

another one
I am almost famous, i have fame but with you... we will be fame-us !

until next time ...
