It was my friend’s elder brother’s room where I first saw Michael Jackson’s big poster. I remember it was the cover 
poster of Michael Jackson’s album BAD. I thought my friend’s brother was crazy. But then my friend told me his brother was MJ fan and I had laughed.
That time, cable TV had just entered India (I guess) and I’d try to understand & enjoy MTV songs. Most of them didn’t make sense (and still don’t). However, I really loved watching MJ’s Black Or White. I saw MJ moonwalk on MTV and it was the coolest dance step I had ever seen. I suddenly wanted to know more about MJ and listen to his songs. I got a cassette from my friend – he almost had all of MJ’s cassettes. I listened to Black or White again and again and also started looking for MJ’s video on MTV.
Then I saw MJ’s Smooth Criminal. Awesome! Then I saw his live show on MTV – and I became MJ fan. Since then I’ve listened to almost all of MJ’s songs and still listen to “Man in the Mirror” – one of my favoritest songs. I could go on quoting my favorite MJ songs.I own a MJ VCD – Best of MJ.
Michael has been the world’s biggest entertainer; and like almost all gifted people – lived a troubled life. But his contribution to our lives cannot be underestimated. His songs will continue to be part of our lives & he will continue to entertain us for centuries to come.
My wish to meet MJ in person will remain unfulfilled.
Good Bye, Michael Jackson.

Yes Kaka
Bored with Infy?
No Kaka
Telling Lies?

Numbering People?
Ha ha ha!!
So folks – the news is out. Nandan Nilekani is quitting Infosys – the company he co-founded with N.R. Narayana Murthy and others. To me, this is a smart move by Mr. Nilekani as he approaches retirement age at Infosys.
I found out that Mr. Nilekani will be heading a government project that aims to uniquely identify Indian Citizens. I’m still wondering why Mr. Nilekani was chosen (and he agreed!) to head this project. What are the tough challenges in handling this project?
Passport number given to every individual is unique. Duplicate the system and make necessary changes. What’s so challenging?
You know what? I know it already – Mr. Nilekani got bored with Infosys.

The following image is the best optical illusion I’ve seen so far. Trust me, you won’t believe this; and I’m not kidding.
Here’s the fun part -
The Green & The Blue colors that you see in above image – are not two different colors. It’s just one color. 
Believe me or not.

Hey YOU!
I am talking to – Y O U!
Don’t look anywhere. I am talking to YOU!
You are reading superblog. That means, you aren’t doing anything productive. Obviously, you are not concerned and aware of India’s Vision 2020 except that it’s something associated with Dr. Kalam.
The person next to you is browsing Orkut. He/She is also not bothered about Vision 2020.
None of your friends is bothered about Vision 2020.
So, who’s going to turn the Vision 2020 into reality?

If you have recently upgraded you blog to latest wordpress 2.8, like I did; chances are that you don’t see visual editor buttons.
Don’t panic.
Just clear your browser cache and login again. 
If that doesn’t work, shift to Google Chrome, like I did.

The best place to find me these days is marriage receptions – somewhere near the food counters. I’ll have about 2-3 or max 4 food items in my dish so that I don’t have to pay much attention to balancing the dish over the tissue paper. I know, that’s a smart act.
Lately, I’ve made few observations about myself. There are typical I follow in any marriage reception hall. For example, I ignore the crowd and pick up the cucumber & carrot slices with hand. In ‘loose terms’, I ‘hand pick’ 
the slices.
When picking up the spoons & forks, I attempt for the ones that are hiding deep inside the pile of spoons [Note: look, not every reception I attend is hosted at a 5 star hotel]. The logic is that, the spoon/fork I picked up has high chance of being untouched -> so they’ll have least number of bacteria (Kitanu {pronounced: Key-taa-noo} - is the new word) -> good hygiene.
When standing in line for the food, like prisoners, I strategize my position taking into consideration who’ll be immediately behind and in front of me. See, this saves me from lot of trouble. People with lot of items in their plates are bound to give you a “sticky” on your sleeve, followed by a polite ’sorry’ (damn this word!). The person immediately in front of you will turn all suddenly so that his/her food laden dish collides with yours.
I don’t struggle to pick the paneer pieces from the Panee Butter Masala pool.Never. One try is enough!
I never have difficulty in spotting the dish collection basket & water counter.
I’d normally (like 20% of the times) come out of the food hall un-stained.
But 100% of time times, I return home appreciating the home-made-food.
