Vroom's Log 24 Sept 08

To venture where many men have gone before...and to hope to succeed where most have failed...

To give it away...Okie the real word was groom...but since its more like groom to be eventually i had the option of using similar sounding words...broom and vroom came to my mind and for obvious reasons i chose the latter...

So neways it has started...three days ago dad showed me some matrimonial ads!!!

anyways i'm ok with that...in the search for the perfect soul mate...let the parents do some work also...

So i told him a straight formula...contact whoever he short lists...send my foto...get theirs...if things progress...will talk online on chat...if things seem promissing (witty and interesting) then move onto further thingy...

although if u look at this algo...it really doesn't sound like an enticing way to err...fall in love...but then in these troubled times :P (refer to my business plan walla post)

but anyhow i'm betting its not gonna be easy and i was thinking if maybe one of you would agree to be the bookie....we could have bets going on in the following brackets:
success within first 3 months:
success within first 6 months:
success within first year
success within two years
never...

it is for the bookie to come out with the betting odds...but neways i'll put my bet on the last or the second last option :P

oh and btw u can be contributors to the cause too....fan out...ping all the nice single women u know...pass the flyers ;)

a little bit of a lot

a little bit of tease a little bit of a play
a little bit of kindness and some amount of pray
a little bit of roughing up a little bit of soft side
a little bit of priceyness and some warm smiles

a little bit of fun
a little bit of wine
a little bit of embarassment
a little bit of swine

a little bit of pain
a little bit of pleasure
a little bit of the saint
a little bit of develishness to treasure

a little bit of everything is what makes things good
and thats why i'm a little bit of everything
nice, rude, cool, prude, gross, warm, kinky, cuddly
and maybe i'm a little bit of u

been making it simple for ppl to follow my posts rather than having to visit 5 diff blogs :P

bringing ppl together....in real life

This is a business plan i've been pondering on for long now...and though most ppl don't like to share their b-plans am more of the linux mindset of person...dicuss and develop...especially since i believe that the only kind of competitive edge that one has these days...is their level of innovation and that's something hidden deep inside the person...quite hard to steal :P

Ok back to the plan...You would've seen ads of Shaadi.com and the whole bakset of ppl in that domain...then there are the orkuts and the facebooks. the main problem with these is...everything is so bloody virtual...

The only value add these things do is be a forum for ppl to meet online...thats not much of value add if u ask me....its still very very difficult to take these friendships into real life...you're never really sure who you are talking too...and though there are some very commonsensical checks most people seem oblivious to them.

So here' my great big idea :P ...have a social networking site but make the networking part a part of real life by organizing fun events...

I would recommend ppl read this short story: stranger in the city

and this post on arranged marriage by serene gurl

to get a better perspective...

and ofcourse if you want more details on the complete plan...u know where to ping me

of guns and chalk powder

yesterday delhi was awakened to a grim reality that terrorism is not something we see on tv, its a grim reality we have to face too like any other indian.

And if you've seen the movie 'A Wednesday' on the same day as the blasts you feel that life has a very satarical way of moving.

But i disagree to the largest extent possible with what the movie preaches. It talks about how a common man holds the police to ransom by threatening to blow up bombs in the city if they don't help give him four terrorists, whom he blows up in the end as a retort to the terrorist attacks they have been doing.

My bro. was of an even more extremist view that an ideal resort would have been to have 20 bombs blow up in pakistan today morning in the heart of the terrorist leaders settlements that if they try any such stunt we shall reply in greater force.

What i believe is that the actual terrorists are just pawns, pawns in the hands of the rich extremists sitting in some plush palace somewhere. Our reactions of hate will only be used by them to fuel to the terrorist mindset and we will have more 'jehadis'. Look at USA and its famous 'war against terrorism', other than waste billions of dollars and spread more hate against it it has achieved nothing.

The actual war against terrorism will begin when we nip the causes. Illiteracy and unemployment. Education helps broaden a person's vision...helps develop the questioning ability, to try and understand what is right and wrong. And employment give him the ability to feed his family. Yes there are many educated youth who are terrorists but the base of the network the supporting framework comes from the rural poor. That is why there are hundreds of extremists madarsas all over india, pakistan and afghanistan in the remotest of places.

Now here is where the problem comes, the politicians can't risk educating the populace. Which educated person will elect goondaas to run there government. Hence been more than half a century of independence and we havent yet started focussing on educating the masses. It is neither a logistical problem nor a money problem. The problem is that the day you empower the masses they will not only root out the terrorists but also our current breed of politicians.

And we wait howling in pain everytime a bomb kills someone near and dear for the war against terrorism to begin

butch cassidy and the sundance kid

no not the movie...the reality...two days...two banks got looted...that with toy guns...don't know how they figured the robbers used toy guns...coz if they had figured that during the loot am sure ppl wouldn't have let them get away...but thats what the new says...ahem ahem.

neways...crime and criminals seem to be on a rise...which is actually expected...the rich do it in their belief of being above the law...and the poor do it cause well the law never did anything to help them so then why the heck not...and in the middle are many butch's and sundance's who see the rich doing it and the poor doing it and wonder why the heck should they not do it...

so dudes and dudettes...while u may be law abiding citizens...heed my words...be ready for the revival of the wild wild west...we may have replaced the forest with buildings...but that only means we have replaced one jungle with another...

may god keep u and ure family safe...

what do u 'need'

inspired from Cess' blog...google for your name along with the word 'needs'...quite interesting

1. Girish needs three years of solid training from such masters, if you expect him to be a World champion at the senior level (yeah i know my chess aint as good now as it was earlier)

2. Girish needs a match. The match has not yet been found, but it is out there tonight. (i totally agree...plz order one smart, cuddly, kinky, romantic feline feminine thingy for me)...i did delete the ('for this transplant' at the beginning)

3. Girish Patil needs bone marrow...i dont know about patil but i get mine from nicely cooked meat...crunch bone and suck marrow

4. Girish needs Grandmaster’s coaching at this stage of his career...naah now u're flattering me...

5. Girish needs an image branding overhaul...i agree bring on the combat suit...time to complete the military look and feel

the nuclear deal

http://businessticktocks.blogspot.com/2008/09/nuclear-deal.html

...and the political sell out...

the interesting thing which i don't get is...since all the fuel is controlled by the NSG...what were did the opposition mean by giving up our rights? what rights are they talking about?

the only thing that i can see as highly stupid is that why wasnt this done 5 years ago... we would have nuclear reactors up and running supplying cheap and almost clean power (cleaner than thermal)...and u wudnt have to think about load shedding...

and how many more bombs do we wanna make and test...since when did we get so violent towards others...i thought we indians only liked to fight amongst ourselves...and one british rule for two centuries hasn't yet cured us off that disease :P

thought u had me

http://catastrophonix.blogspot.com/2008/09/thought-you-had-me.html

in school when every body was cool
i was in my pensive mood
and some parts of life went so fast by
that the race was almost over before i knew it had begun
and you thought you had me there did you
well dream on...

when it was the time for the heart to flourish
i had words but no magic
and my search for a mate was so futile
that right before my eyes the world had coupleized
and you thought you had me there did you
well dream on...

and then you gave me eyes to dream big
but no direction to walk upon
and in my haste to be me
i had walked a couple of circular miles
and you thought you had me there did you
well dream on...

i cherish you as my enemy
cause you're also my closest friend
and i appreciate ure challenges
and my peculiar weaknesses
but if you think you'll ever have me
well dream on...
