On my way to work..

I need to turn right.. I see one car in front of me.., waiting to take the free right turn..
(Come on.. theres no-one coming in the cross-road in front of you.. Go! G..O...! go! what are you waiting for ?.. Oops.. theres a car.. Wait, that is in the middle lane.. , what are you waiting for ?
Why are talking to the person sitting next to you.. instead of moving ?
You could've turned in the right-most lane.. Alright.. hes gone.. Now.. Go!
What ? Are you waiting for that truck to cross over.. that too in the middle lane ? The truck is coming so slow.. Go man!. I should've gone through the Gas station, to make that right!..
Oh.. ok.. The truck is gone.. Are you moving.. oh Yes.. Looks like hes gonna move.. I see the red-brake-light is gone.. moving.. moving.. Red-brake light again ? What ? Still waiting for some other car to come ? Now go man! (ok its a woman).. Go lady! If you go now, I wouldnt get caught in the red-light in the oncoming signal in the crossroad..
Well, ok.. some cars are coming.. they are slowing down.. (Why arent they going fast.. ) oh.. Its green now for us. Hello, dont look at them. its green for us.. Go.. Appaada..
Shes moving already.
This is why, you shouldnt sleep late and go to work late, in a hurry!
I took my right, passed that lady.. reached work..
Logging in.., Opening Explorer.. started typing "mail.yahoo.com"...

Now, I wonder, why am I getting bald! Does this have anything to do with that ?

Do you Sudoku ?

This blog is for those who haven't heard about sudoku!
Its a wonderful game, just like solving crossword puzzle. Except its all numbers. If you are intrigued by numbers.. then its not for you (or it can be for you, to overcome the fear!)

The game goes like this.. You will be given a 9x9 rows/columns with random numbers already filled in. The no. of numbers filled in makes it easy/difficult. The more the numbers are filled in already, the easier it will be to solve.
The rule is you have to fill in the remaining empty boxes with numbers.
At any point each 3x3 row should have all the numbers from 1 to 9 (no repetition) [There will be 9 3x3 boxes in the puzzle)
Each horizontal 1x9 row should have all the numbers 1 to 9 (no repetition)
Each vertical 9x1 column should have all the numbers 1 to 9 (no repetition)

Let me give an ex. in the below row of x,y,z,a,b,c's....
x x x y y y z z z
x x x y y y z z z
x x x y y y z z z
a a a b b b c c c
a a a b b b c c c
a a a b b b c c c
x x x y y y z z z
x x x y y y z z z
x x x y y y z z z
Each Vertical column (x x x a a a x x x, y y y b b b y y y, ....) should have all the numbers from 1 to 9
Each Horizontal column (x x x y y y z z z, a a a b b b c c c, ...) should have all the number from 1 to 9
Each 3x3 rows/colums (xxx,xxx,xxx or yyy,yyy,yyy or ....) should have all the number from 1 to 9
Thats it. Just google "sudoku" online.. take any of the daily newspaper.. (Here or in India) They have a column for sudoku puzzles nowadays.
If you are flying for couple of hours and not in the mood for reading or travelling alone.. try sudoku. Couple of hours will vanish just like minutes.. Even the airline magazines have the sudoku puzzle in them (Ive seen in Southwest airlines)
Let me warn you.. its quite addictive.
Try one and let me know, if you like it or not!

Got song ?

Do you ever feel like, "Oh.. this is my song.."
(Im not talking about the song.. which they played on your wedding day..)
Like, when you hear this song, You should stop whatever you are doing and start listening to it.
Or if you are really low and if you hear this song, your worries are gone (atleast for that full 4-5 minutes). You may have so many songs like that, but this particular one, just brings you back lot of memories (good ones).
Sometimes not any memory, just the happy thoughts from the music or the way of picturisation of the song brings you to the good mood.
No matter how many times you hear.. you dont feel tired of it.
Mine is "Chinna Chinna vanna kuyil" from Mouna Raagam. I just merge myself with the Janaki's husky starting "laala laala lalalalaa".
When Im feeling really low or sad or after some serious/sad movie or any news.. I will run towards my next chance to get in the car and start opening the CD bag for this song.
Do you have one ? If not, its time to find one.
I would say, Its like finding a soulmate... Except, its easier!
