So much to write...

It has been a real looooooooooooooong time since I wrote anything. I had wanted to write on many topics but finding time is the problem. Night times are most amiable for my writing skills. Unfortunately my profession also demands me to write (plans, code, etc.) that my nights are being used up by my professional creativity alone.

Well, I am just jotting down some of which I can remember about which I would want to create a separate post once I find some time.

  • The Microsoft annual party- put on fire by Kay Kay and Sunidhi Chauhan. I got an oppurtunity to sing the chorus (that is how I'll term it ;-)) with Kay Kay!!!
  • My vacation in hometown.
  • The Bangalore friends' visit to Hyderabad.
  • Kamal Haasan's interview on TV.
  • Snippets of Madhavan on love-life.
  • And the latest....Reviving of Tennis.

I am writing this post at the end of one of legendary matches I have EVER seen. Though it was Safin who had the last laugh, it was classic quality tennis that won at the end of the day. Hats off to two great champions-Roger Federer and Marat Safin!!!!!!

After the retirement of my idol Pete Sampras, hardly have I followed tennis. But this Australian Open has been too good for hard-core tennis fans. So many matches going into the deciders and they too, stretching beyond the minimal 6 games limit. Too good!

Let us see. I want the remaining semi-final and the finals also to be nail biting as well.

Love all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Integrity in behavior

Many a times, I have discussed about this word 'integrity in behavior' with my friend/house mate Anto. I am going to write about this "integrity" in the context of the people I meet everyday. Though there are multitude dimensions in which integrity can be discussed, there is just one context, quite a recurrecnt one, about which I'll write here: "Integrity in behavior towards people".

Quite often, I find people exhibiting different behavior in different places.During a casual chat, their behavior is normal but when it comes to a bigger social gathering, their outlook is totally different from what I see everyday. Please don't confuse this lack of integrity with sophistication.

Another remarkable example is the behavior among members of the same-sex and with that of the opposite-sex members. Though I don't know if this applies to girls as well, I know for sure that this is the case with a considerable number of guys I have seen. Some guys turn a 'macho-man' in front of girls..Some try to play a 'hep'...Some portray a 'cho chweet guy' while their true persona(which I see everyday) stinks.

FEMINISTS SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH...And the funniest part in this is that most girls fall for these guys only. As my friend once said "Invariably, all girls make the wrong choice". Though I am not able to interrogate the verity of this statement, this seems to be true in at least most of the cases I know.

I am not trying to conclude anything out of this rambling. It is just that I don't understand why people want to maintain different behavior to different people. Why can't they be the same always.....
