The Solitary Coder

Behold him, single, in his self
Yon, solitary techie lad
coding and coding by himself
finally soon to become a grad
alone he codes and smacks his brain
singing like a Frogie in the rain
Ah! just ten more days to go
then no more of compiler's show

No coder did ever chaunt
who takes this compiler's class
scared when the project haunts
no more poems for the poetic lass
A bawl so loud was never heard
from this very padaku nerd
breaking the silence on this blog
when he was supposed to go n slog

Will some one tell me why?
I make my own ADI C compiler
when I myself "compile" my
code using the mr. GNU C compiler
Or is it some great noble lay
the most un-familiar matter of today??
Ah! feels like some sorrow loss or pain
That has been and will never happen again

Finally an end to the two long years
As I debug the "compiled" compiler code
only accomplice being the Heineken beer
always there, when I miss the busy ode
I sit and code motionless and still
waiting to get over this hill
The music in the heart I bore
Long after it was heard no more

Inspired by the poem "The Solitary Reaper" by William Wordsorth

My sweetest rhyme...

Finally the poem I waited to recite...
here I introduce my sweetest rhyme...
she who rules my dreams day and night...
singing to the note of the melodius chime...

Her sweet verses are rhyming melody...
she is prettier than princess Jadee...
trust me, she is a lovely lady...
sweet n chirpy like a charming birdy...

Her stanzas seem a harmonious humbug...
she is busy than the busiest bug...
rarely has just 5 minutes to slug...
donno why I still love this luvbug...

Her eyes sing that angelic love song...
remembering our first date long gone...
those pretty eyes were looking along...
on the last day to bid me so long...

The rhyme might just be cease away...
but I love her more since yesterday...
here is a poesy for the sweetest lay...
to wish my angel a Happy Valentines Day...

This poetry is a mysterious puzzle...
uncertainity plays the biggest tussle...
one who can understand this muddle...
knows who made me fall in this love puddle...

I had a dream last night...

Sweet, I met her after so many years...
The times spent, the far looked so near...
She was looking gorgeous, shining so bright...
But, it was a dream I had last night...

We held hands, walking down the beach...
Just us, away from anyone else's reach...
I was the darkness, she was the light...
But, it was a dream I had last night...

Her deep brown eyes, and a sweet smile...
The candle light dinner, next to the nile...
Wished, never would let her go out of sight...
But, it was a dream I had last night...

A nice sweet hug, and said good bye...
Promised to be there, with a silent cry...
She herself is a sweet poem, still to recite...
But, it was a dream I had last night...

The First Love...

Browsing a friend's blog, came accross this beautiful sweet poem written by him.

I will always love you

As I walk down the road
I may not stop by ur house
I may not even pass it by
but sweetie, I will always love you

As we go our separate ways
I may not think about you
I may not even want to think about you
but baby, I will always love you

When i run into problems
I may not share them with you
Hell, I might not even talk to you
But sweetheart, I will always love you

As I head to my grave
I may not say good bye
I may not even give u the right to cry over me
but believe me, I wll always love you

Salaam Namaste - A Review

Welcome to 101.5 FM, Salaam Namaste, where Hambar, hmm... Ambar (Priety Zinta) rocks as an RJ to support her medical studies in Australia. Nikhil Arora, oops I am sorry I meant Nick (Saif Ali Khan), an Architect by profession, works as the chief chef at the restaurant "Nick of Time".

Like any particular love story, the movie starts with Ambar and Nick being the biggest enemies, Ambar bringing a bad name to "Nick Of Time", because Nick did not appear for an interview at her show on Salaam Namaste. They meet for the first time at a wedding where they fall in love and decide to go ahead with a living relationship to try one another out.

The movie starts off with an entertaining note, moves toward a serious note around the middle and again ends in the laughing tune. Special appearance of Javed Jaffery and Abhishek Bachchan do add more laughs to the plot. But at the same time the "Sorry" chic of Javed Jaffery is a little irritating.

Overall an Over-hyped movie, but definetly a movie worth watching. A nice time pass, with awesome picturization and wonderful acting by Saif and Priety.

Hope you enjoy watching Salaam Namaste.

Hey also do check out the trailer of Munnabhai meets Mahatma Gandhi at IndiaFM. Rlealeasing some time next year.

One Night @ The Call Center

Chetan Bhagat is back again with his second book releasing in October 2005 after the sweet entertaining first book "Five Point Someone" which even emptied the shelves of Jogindra and Indra. The two book stores in Roorkee. Indra had the monopoly before, then this new guy came up, opened a book store right in front of Indra and called it Jogindra :p.

Well coming back to ON@TCC, the story is about 6 people in the Call Center and spread over the timeframe of 11 hours, where the call center recieves a call from the God. The three themes covered are Ex-GF, Bad Boss and the God. Eagerly waiting to get back to India in December and get hold of this book.

One of the challenges Chetan faced writing the novel, which is actually pretty true:
It is really hard to understand and portray the thought of three female (read complex) characters as compared to just one in the Five Point Someone.

For all those interested check out the Prologue of the book and how did Chetan Bhagat ended up writing this book at ON@TCC. Thanks to Kamal for sending it in on the group.

You can even check out Chetan Bahgat's website for more stuff about the two books.
