I am back

I am back. Back after a break of more than a year. Shame on me. Ok after that short and sweet round of self-condemnation its time to present excuses. Initially I was forced to take a break for couple of months because of the road accident I met with almost the same time last year. But later on somehow I lost the enthusiasm to blog regularly. I did keep my writing instincts alive by regularly posting articles to Kannada Section of Wikipedia (I am patting my back). I invite all the Kannadigas to contribute their time and writing skills generously to make Kannada section of Wikipedia the best Kannada encyclopedia on web. After that non-commercial endorsement let me get back to my story. I do intend to write regularly and guess what? I am now proud owner of 4 weblogs. Three of them on Blogger and one on JRoller.

Me Myself and I – My weblog in English on general topics
Cinema Cinema – My weblog in English on the movies that I watch
ಹುಚ್ಚು ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಹತ್ತು ಮುಖಗಳು - My weblog in Kannada on General topics
Chandrakanth’s Weblog – My weblog in English on Java and related technologies

Keep looking for my entries while I inspire myself to read a lot and write much lesser than I read, regularly. With all these reading and writing commitments, God(?) I feel like I am back in School minus those lovely girls in miniskirt uniforms.

BTW I am reading this wonderful book named Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond.

The buzz of a busy bee

The word “ busy ” is a great savior for this mortal human world. It can get one out of many tricky and not so comfortable situations with tremendous ease. Did you intentionally or unintentionally forget to keep an appointment? No problem ma’am/sir. Promptly announce you were busy with loads of work. You can slip away like sand from all the troubles you brought upon yourself. Believe me, it works like miracle. The frustrated soul who has been waiting for you to turn up and whose frustrations have now transformed into F16 bombers to blast you gets immediately pacified like an infant who has been shoved with a rubber nipple or pacifier.  The other person’s anger melts like ice and you will be pardoned from definite death penalty and a good thing about this is you don’t even have to apologize.  If you are lucky and your nemesis is low on IQ and high on EQ, you may end up profiting his/her sympathies. If you are too lazy to tidy your house up or if you can’t make your mind to c...

Contradictions and Truths

I love this word oxymoron . Oxymoron is a Greek term which can be translated literally as "sharp-witted absurdity". In present day English, it is a short phrase that appears self-contradictory in a context. Some of the interesting examples are Deafning silence Act naturally Cold sweat Fuzzy logic Friendly fire Agree to disagree Another word which is similar to this is paradox . Paradox is an apparently true statement that seems to lead to a logical self-contradiction, or to a situation that contradicts common intuition. The identification of a paradox based on seemingly simple and reasonable concepts has often led to significant advances in science, philosophy and mathematics. Following are some interesting examples. When you increase your knowledge, you see how little you know. You see how much you still have to learn. God is not all-powerful as he cannot build a wall he cannot jump My personal view is that the truths of this world are not absolute, but ar...

Sweet Culture

Folks in our office are slaves to a strange culture. I prefer to call it “Sweet Culture”. We frequently get a blank email with subject “Sweets at my desk”. What the heck? I will be busy waging a loosing battle against all powerful and mighty siesta after hogging generous volume of free lunch. I will be desperately waiting for an email with some entertainment value so that I could save myself from embarrassment of being caught snoring with mouth wide open.  During such trying times I get this dead as wood blank email with a sweet subject line. Such mails bring tremendous fury and frustration in me and greatly disturb my internal peace for many reasons. Firstly, after gobbling up to dangerously high "neck level", mention of the word food can cause eruption of undigested lava from my protruding belly.  This surely degrades hygiene level in the work environment and results in loss of productivity of my colleagues. Unmindful of such a risk, some spamster crook...
