What do you do with the mad that you feel

I came across this nice poem. It was written for children and Mr. Roger says the title/first line comes from a child. I liked it. I hope you too like it…

What do you do with the mad that you feel
When you feel so mad you could bite?
When the whole wide world seems oh, so wrong…
And nothing you do seems very right?

What do you do? Do you punch a bag?
Do you pound some clay or some dough?
Do you round up friends for a game of tag?
Or see how fast you go?

It’s great to be able to stop
When you’ve planned a thing that’s wrong,
And be able to do something else instead
And think this song:

I can stop when I want to
Can stop when I wish.
I can stop, stop, stop any time.
And what a good feeling to feel like this
And know that the feeling is really mine.
Know that there’s something deep inside
That helps us become what we can.
For a girl can be someday a woman
And a boy can be someday a man.

-Fred M. Rogers

Nokia’s monopoly

A few days back I lost the data cable of my mobile (Nokia n70). On the Internet, I found the number of the nearest nokia service center to see if i can get a new data cable. First it took me ages to get a human on the other end of the phone line, but i was not so angry till the time he told me that a new data cable would cost me Rs. 1700/- (around 43US$). One thusand seven hundred rupees, that’s about 15% of the cost at which I brougt the phone along with data cable.

By no means, anyone can justify that steep price for just another USB connector cable.
I really feel sad for Nokia, as they have lost yet another loyal customer.

ThanQ :)

Thank you for remembering the memory.

PS: This post is intended for a special person. Others may find it abstract, absurd or plain simple stupid.

Stolen !!

Someone has stolen the data cable of my phone. I use to leave it attached to my office computer. But today when I came to office, it was gone. Someone has taken it over the weekend.

Disappointed. 

Happy Makar Sankranti

A very happy Makar Sankranti and Pongal to everyone.

I am back…

It’s been quite a long time since I last posted.  A lot has happened in these days. I have been to my hometown for Diwali, Worked slogged like hell at workplace, wathched some good movies, read atleast 6 books, missed attending Foss.in and last weekend, went on a 2-day trek to Kodachadri.

The trek was so eventful, that I will be writing the details in a long post soon…probably with some pics (first time on this blog) .

Good to be back again…

Ahmm…Hello World !!! (take 3)

This is my third attempt to blogging. Previous two attempts were more or less misguided and went into, a not very appropriate direction. As always, it’s never too late to start afresh. So, here’s a new beginning.

I will try to keep this blog very light, and this time I won’t be writing too much personal stuff. Also, I would try to keep the posts short and interesting.
Happy Reading!
