Whats the score ??

After beating the heavy morning traffic i reach my office and throw my jacket over my chair. As i sit down to give some rest to the rear quarters from all that biking, the boss guy next me asks:

Boss Guy: "Hey, morning!! did u see the score today?"
Me:"huh?? is there a match ? n whos playin?"
Boss Guy: "HAHA... yeah a big match!! govt vs opposition!! yesterday twas 268-269!!"

Oh hmmm... then it strikes me that the Govt is hanging by its fingertips... rather fingernails since all that crap about the Nuke Deal came up. What the hell is this N-Deal and how did it bring the nation closer to another early General Elections ??It all started way back in 2006 when the deal was initialized by the Indian and the US governments by signing the Hyde Act. Most of the politicians get scared when they hear the N-word.For the politicians it's more of a taboo than the F-Word. For them a nuke always is a bomb which fries up cities in one go. Little do they know that the deal will make the Indian vision of a developed nation by 2020 a reality.

The deal can enable us to buy nuke reactors and nuke fuels from Uncle Sam and the Nuclear Supplier Group and setup more power plants. We have meagre and almost non-existent Uranium reserves which reflects upon the few countable 6-7 functioning nucear reactors in India. I live in Bangalore, i face power cuts upto 5-6 hours a day in summer. Face it, we cant make electrcity out of burning coal or water and serve the ever growing needs. It's time we go heavy duty.

Almost all of the top analytical brains have confirmed that this would bring more benefits to the country than we becoming a pawn in Uncle Sam's hands. Yet the big shots of the Left Front are skeptic, sometimes it appears that they are more interested in China's welfare than our own. So now its a stalemate in the parliament with the goverment losing majority and India being pushed to another Elections.

The same story repeats, no single party gets the majority, the selling and buying of MPs,another coalition goverment, another argument on who wud become the PM, 1 billion Indians get fooled one more time. Well we are Indians, we are used to this. No Big "Deal". ;)

zzzzzz...

When i sit at my workstation at my new office... i feel as if i am stuck in a time warp in the Calabi-Yau space dimension. Dude... what a lousy first line!! But dont blame me, after joining my new employer, i have got so much free time that i sleep about ten hours a day and i guess too much sleep is not good for ur mind. Well the office hours are so monotonous that everyday seems like a repeat of yesterday. Still fresh out of training, i am still wondering the stuff thats goin on around me. Last week i was asked to make a GUI button. I made it... whats the big deal!! Then i showed it to the big guys... now they want me to make a PPT about the button juxtaposed along with the old screen buttons and show it to them in a 1 hour session.. "WTF?? it's just a button for chrissakes !!!". Well i can think of only 3 slides:

1. Presentation on the GUI Button.
2. Screenshot of the button with the button in red circle.
3. Thank You.

And i have to present this in one hour.But maybe all this freetime is the calm before a category-5 hurricane coz i am getting mails with weird technical subjects which i promptly put into the personal folder named "Overhead Transmissions" in my Outlook.

Sigh !! hope i will find the door which leads to the "real" reality like Mr. Truman Burbank did, and walk away from all this crap.
