Roxy Music.....!



I saw " Flashback of a Fool" just now and what a movie....!
Its the story of a fading hollywood star, Joe.

Its set in the 70's... The movie is pretty good, but this movie introduced me to " Bryan Ferry" , the UK musician.... and know what his one song " IF there is something" is awesome, we can sense his passion for music and love in this song. I downloaded his discography, and know what, he's the best of the best. His songs are awesome...

Check out the lyrics, hear the song if you can:
If there is something that I might find
Look around corners
Try to find peace of mind I say
Where would you go if you were me
Try to keep a straight course not easy
Somebody special looking at me
A certain reaction we find
What should it try to be I mean
If there are many
Meaning the same
Be specific just a game

I would do anything for you
I would climb mountains
I would swim all the oceans blue
I would walk a thousand miles
Reveal my secrets
More than enough for me to share
I would put roses round our door
Sit in the garden
Growing potatoes by the score

Shake your hair girl with your ponytail
Takes me right back (when you were young)
Throw your precious gifts into the air
Watch them fall down (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The hills were higher (when we were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The trees were taller (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
The grass was greener (when you were young)
Lift up your feet and put them on the ground
You used to walk upon (when you were young)

Awesome....!!!

First month in HMT....!



Well, its been more than a month since I joined HMT as a graduate apprentice.... And mind you, the whole factory is awesome....! A mechanical engineer's paradise..... There are soooo many machines, a variety of them....and they are so large.... Mind you, I never thought that I could ever see machines like which are here.... There is a printing machine which was made in England back in 1879....!!! I enjoy every moment in here... True, there is no AC, its not so clean place., my hands will be filled with grease Oil nd metal.... but I still feel that intimacy, or rather a satisfactory feeling that only a Mechanical sector can give me....

Ok, I made quite a few friends and a lot of foes in here....

I've to tell, this is the first taste of what real life is... So you meet all kinda people, some are good, some are sweethearts, some are neutral and some guys simply SUCK.... As someone well said, " Life is a lesson and you'll learn it when you're through"

This is the first sign that life's not gonna be easy in here, but I'm gonna make 100% out of this one year ....

movie time....!



hmmmm, I've developed a new habit, downloadin and watchin new movies.... I've decided to watch a movie a day.... I'l update u wid some movies worth watchin....

Lets see, I just saw Angels & Demons... I had read the original book, and mind you, it was rocking....! And now when I saw the movie, I think its pretty close to the book... Like when you see the movie, you feel like you've seen it before..,( If you had read the book, of course !) The VFX are damn good, the reconstruction of Vatican City, St. Peters basilica, Vatican archives, man , u can't guess they'r just sets.....

Verdict : Must watch.... 4/5

Ice age 3- Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Wow....! this is the one awesome movie....!

Best of the three... There is this new charecter called " BUck", who is very cool and intelligent and all... The comic content is at the fullest on this movie....

Verdict: very must watch- 5/5

The Apprentice.... better Late Than NeVeR

So, after more than an year of soul searching, I've decided to stay in my field... I have quit Sutherland, n on 10th July, I've officially joined HMT as a Graduate Apprentice....

Making the decision was very easy, cos I now know that Mechanical Engineers has a face value that no other engineers have.... But, leaving Acer was very tough.... cos I've loved the process, I loved the way everything is done there, I have learned a lot during the four months I stayed there....

But as they say, " to gain something, you've to loose something"

Now about HMT, man that company is a monster, there are so many machines... n they are so BIG... I hope I'm gonna enjoy staying there.... and by the end of one year, hopefully I'd be a qualified and experienced Mechanical Engineer....

My TL and Program manager says that Mechanical feild sucks and I'm making a stupid decisison. Cos they think that my growth will be very slow and blah blah... They were surprised that I was leaving an 8k salary job to a 2.6 k stipend job.... Well, what they don't understand is the call of a Mechie, the fell & pleasure that one gets when he is doing the job that he had learned.... I'm not telling that IT is bad, but Mechanical is something else, that I love and can't explain....

" Its in your moments of decision that your destiny is made"- Anthony Robbins.

Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference

-Robert Frost


Have I made the decision of my life, well, I think so, and time will prove it :)

I'm a TeChiE....!




I'm working in Sutherland for over 2 months now, and guess what, I now have a fair knowledge of Computer hardware, and troubleshooting....

Its not that I've learned every bit of hardware... Its just that i know a lot more than the average Mechie...
After being here for two months, I've developed a respect for all those networking guys.... I thought that it was quite easy, but actually there's lot to learn
Yes, i'm gonna write a full blog about my life in Sutherland... about the friends i made, about some wackos i met, about love, how i put on weight (), how my biological clock stopped working, n how life is in an IT industry....

Cya,
