yet an another boring day at work

ufff....life cant get worser than this....sitting at office and doin nothing.....

well as the title says it was yet an another boring day at work.....

saba classes were more intersting that sittin idle at office.....

so what do i do now....

read news - updated with whatever is happening around the world

read movie reviews - read reviews of movies in almost all websites(movies of 5 lanuages)

google chat with friends - and talk what? it is fine if u chat with a friend once in few days....what to chat every once in few hours?

go for a coffee break - no milk(remember it is not only me who is jobless...there are plenty more in the office in the same state with the same idea of spending time drinkin coffee...thanks to recession)

read travelouges - i prefer to travel rather than jus readin travelouges...but still didnt leave this option ......but how many can i read....i have reached the limit....the more i read the more i am tempted to take such trips......but no one to accompany

write blog - write what? actually did write one out of boredom, but it turned out to be a disaster....i am reffering to my previous blog......i still cant understand y i wrote that s**t

well i got a new passtime....reading old mails and chat sessions......this kept me preoccupied for the past few days....whomever noticed my gtalk status in the last few days wud know.....

was done with all my old mails........today i accidently...rather intentionally opened my sent items.......suddenly an idea struck me(i dont know where i get these wonderful ideas from....i must be a genius).....well the idea was to identify how many forwards that i have sent from my id......

y did i do that....the reason is simple.....i am bloody jobless out here without knowing what to do......let me do some thing

okay chill.....so wat was my findings(wudnt have done such an analysis even durin mba)......about 80% of my sent mails were forwards.....dont ask me how i managed to get this figure....u got to beleive this......

then i started to imagine how much of web space i am occupying in not only keeping such mails with me but also forwarding to my friends and duplicating the content on to the web........it is the same thing with billions of web users across the world....am not able to imagine the amount of duplication that we have done.....

am i becoming serious...i think so.....okay let me stop with realsing the amount of junk we contribute to this wonderful world.......but this is not goin to stop us or atleast me from receiving or sending forwards.....

if not for the forwards how do u think i wud spent some of my time at office.....

by uploading this blog of mine i am puttin more junk into this web space....but what to do....it is all fate.....

now going for a coffee break(hope the milk is refilled)....see u in the next blog

Bike ride to Shivasamudram

Bangalore and weekends never get well together.....in bangalore the more fun u want to hav the more prepared u hav to be to burn ur pocket......and the choices to do during weekends are limited to goin to malls, movies and ofcourse pubs.....

but god is not so cruel.....though there is not enuf recreations inside the city there are plenty of places to go near blore and one such place is Shivasamudram - a waterfall....

well my last weekend was spent at this place with few of my friends who had come to blore to see me.

if u think we had planned the weekend to see Shivasamudram then u got it wrong...actually we wanted to go on a long bike ride and Shivasamudram was just the destination.

we were three of us.....myself, Kaushik and Mohan....in two bikes, Bajaj Avenger(mine) and Hero Honda Ambition(my cousin's who had done a great feat of travelling in this bike to Kargil and beyond).......

We started our trip at 11 a.m and had planned to reach the destination by 1:00pm....the route was to go in Mysore road upto Madhur and take a deviation to reach Shivasamudram....

we were all thrilled to ride in the Mysore road and were expecting to rip tru the roads....but all went in vain cos of the heavy wind tru out our journey....we were restricted between 60-70 kms/hr......and as a result reached the destination at 3:00 pm.....well who cares at wat time we reach there...it was the ride we wanted to experience.....

we went down and took a parisal(bowl shaped boat) to reach the point where the falls hit the ground.......it was beautiful to experience the tiny droplets hitting your face and was totally refreshing.....we spent sometime in the water doing some silly tricks......

it was 5:00pm and was time for us to leave.......again we started off with our bikes and the return journey was much more faster with lesser breaks.....we reached home boozed, had dinner and chatted throughout the night...it was 3:30am when we finally hit the bed.....

wat am i goin to do next weekend? i dunno.......got bored of doin nothin during the weekdays.....if anybody has any suggestions please help me out......
