A gentle breeze moved those clouds

Stars were far and few

He still drew a picture

.....A stronger breeze would uncover our only satellite

Overshadowing and hiding the face he just drew

Money Mayweather is back

...and back in style. Dominated all 12 rounds. He is still the best pound to pound boxer of our era. Just love his defense and his laugh when he gets an occasional punch.His hands move like waves...fast very fast..and more often than not he gets his deadly upper cut. He did get a KO in R2 btw. A lot was expected from this match because in boxing when its defense vs counter punch its usually a bloody match. A little disappointed -it did not turn out to be that way. Floyd just dominated from R1, when you have a punch connect percentage (PCB) of 60 you are almost always a winner.


He is Back and let the betting begin. The wait is over.

Boxing according to be is the best individual sport there is....its all about you...mental...speed..strength..tactics....stamina...fear...crowd....its bad.

PS: Cant wait for the Manny Pacquiao vs Mayweather...if it happens that is.

Echo

Its always easy to fall in love....its to fall out of love that is difficult!!

Liars

:'( * 2

I miss playing on stage.....back to burning my fingers on my guitar :D:D

:'(

Manager: Nikesh I want you to interview a candidate for Failure Analysis team, he could be a part of our team as well, I will forward you his resume

Me: Sure, is the interview on Monday?

Manager: Sorry for the short notice Nikesh, a few have already interviewed him. Its today and your slot is from 12.30 to 1.30.Let me know if you need more time for his interview I will cut down his company tour...will be taking him to lunch now and dont be late for the interview.

Me:Wow?...

That gave me little over an hour to prepare. English Language and communication not being my strength (not to mention my thick S.Indian Accent) I decided to write down my questions.

I prepared all my questions (good luck googling it)!!! they were straight forward and I'm sure any engineer can answer most of these (and I hope a mechanical/civil/aerospace engineer answers all).

I'm not going to tell where this guy graduated from, reasons being I hope to get into that University someday or at least I will die trying :)


BUT

Devastated I was, after 90min :'(.....I just hate the way engineers are being taught these days...we are a bunch of morons who fail to understand basic concepts in ENGINEERING. I cant believe we all become engineers without understanding basic Math. We still struggle to do Math that was developed in the 16th and 17th century despite having fancy computers and gadgets.

The rest of the world can depend on Computers, Internet, Wikipedia, Wolfram and get smart (I call them Wiki-smart..all superficial-one page knowledge-bunch of dimwits)I depend on my Brain and it will never let me down...cos IT aint a server to CRASH.


PS: On a guilt trip right now...OK OK I use Woflram :D

Finally

India to Foreign Colleges: Set Up Campus Here

Stirred not Shaken

Thankyou for THIS.

Touched

Blessed and

Honored

L.O.V.E

We all wait an eternity for these four letters to fall in order.

After watching a Hindi movie yesterday, we had a rather serious discussion on our way back home.

My friend asked me if I believed in SoulMates and I said yes. I told her that the girl/boy you land up spending the rest of your life with-will eventually be your soulmate. I might be totally wrong, but I think everything happens for a reason/s. Nothing is Coincidence-FATE is a human coined term, we just don't have the skill to understand, process and solve this grand cryptogram called LOVE (or in what I truly believe-Endless Love).

Each one of us will surely experience TRUE LOVE/ find our soulmate and when it happens you will understand exactly what I just scribbled and also feel the unexplained power of LOVE.


Just turn down those lights, close your eyes, block all those ringing voices in your head lay down give MY WORDS a deeper- a profound -a more rooted thought-things will fall in place-the chaotic pattern will restore order.


All this said I will conclude this post with John Nash's words (my otherside being a strong believer in Math :))

"I've made the most important discovery of my career... the most important discovery of my life. It's only in the mysterious equation of love that any logical reasons can be found. I'm only here tonight because of you. You're the only reason I am... You are all my reasons."

Good Times

This is my all time Fav Duet...

Is DUET the right technical term?...huh I wonder

PS: Niki don't become a chick.....back to *Perry Mason*

DPS: Also dedicate this song to my best best Frnd who recently got engaged.

Bull Fight

Bullish markets (How can I be sure its really a bullish market and not a random surge...that calls for another post :p)....I like it..

But

What metrics should I care about before I invest

-Company's Quarterly earning compared to its previous quarter (For Ex 2nd quarter vs 1st quarter)
- Company's Quarterly earning compared to the same quarter last year (For Ex 2nd Quarter of 2008 vs 2nd Quarter of 2009)...this is expected to be lousy :p
-5Yr earnings
-10yr earnings
-S&P 500 only
-DOW
-100 day moving average
-200 day moving average
-Wait for the Golden Cross
-Diversity in the company (Ex I can think of GE-Energy-Finance-Consumer Appliances-Defence-Aerospace-Materials-etc )
-Products in the pipeline
-Company's Reputation (Dividends etc)
.....I can go on create more metrics for myself....but if someone knows the answer please share your inputs. Markets is not my strength!! I will never understand the true dynamics that drive the markets.

Fluid Dynamics is so much simpler (Wait a min....turbulent flows are as unpredictable as our markets..huh)

Markets all about Prediction and Anticipation

Heres My Anticipation based Prediction (Based on a truly nonlinear weighted fator equation and trendline extrapolation a.k.a Nikis Technique )

Dow will close this year close to 10,200 (+/- 200)
S&P will close this year close to 1100 (+/-50).....call me optimistic :)

Strength

Strength
......When you have a smile when your heart wants to cry
Strength
.......When you don't loose your hope even when it gets pitch black
Strength is
.......Finding a reason to stay when your heart has had enough
Strength is
.......Giving more when you feel like giving up

Lost

:)....Its OK to admit.... WE were seriously lost :)

?

Why.............no really........why?

Why

do extremely hot-extremely intelligent-smart-able-cute-witty girls from Stanford turn out to be gays. My heart is broken again :(

Wow :)

Tell me -you don't want to slow dance this song :)

Thankeeeeee---for reminding me this song...I owe you a coffee!

Hallelujah

I absolutely love love love SHREK

and this song in particular...love the timing of this song in the movie.

Beautiful
