The Pensive

When ever I think loud Facebook comes to my rescue more than my blog. The fad for FB will never fade. I don't use twitter much and hence I am not sure about the good / bad feel embedded in those 140 characters and they always fall short when I have some emotional thought to share ;)  .I was and am used to Facebook and it is interesting and amusing to see the queue of comments whenever anyone posts their opinions or thoughts. It feels good to see that some are nodding at it.

When the automatic door was about to get closed, a lady in mid 30s entered with thoughtful/confused/dazed look on her face and gazed at me with those mingled expressions. She seemed to be a Trelawney...

Here it is ,yet again the day when I remember a Telugu comedy movie  Money   where the villain  KotaSrinivasa Rao  says  “ Same card . Same story. Only names different” – when a person comes to invite for his wedding! Do watch that hilarious scene.  Those were the days when Ram Gopal Varma was not that serious about film making and used to make many master pieces and humorous films.

I can see people clapping around my cubicle. Some are distributing sweets. Some are feverishly using the calculator option for a long time on their phones/ laptops / desktops, hoping to see a changed equation and a big number at least the third time they calculate it . Some people give a treat , some stay indifferent , some are over joyous , some just discuss among themselves . If some announc...
