Faith in GOD ....
When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in his ablities.
But if GOD does not solve your problems, it means he has faith in your ablities.

I was born on the same day 32 yrs ago :)
Today is my birthday and I was born on the same day 32 years ago (23-Mar-1976).
This is the second consecutive birthday I am all alone here in Dallas and missing the fun I used to have with Sai :( Incidently today is Sai's 'Nakshatra' birthday as well :)
I have no major plans today. I wanted to go to a temple and then have some good meal :)

WWW is not dependable ...
"In US, WWW is not dependable" -- this is the statement I heard from my friend today. I was thinking that he is pissed off with his internet connection :) but I was wrong.
According to him WWW stands for,
W - Weather [for ex: it rains in the morning, sunny in the afternoon, thunderstorm in the evening :)]
W - Wife [doesn't need an explanation]
W - Work [any time one can be laid-off here :(]

Lauch of 'The Name is Rajinikanth'
In the launch of Rajinikanth's biography - 'The Name is Rajinikanth', prominent writer Mr. Cho. Ramaswamy said the following about 'Rajinikanth'.
கடவுளின் கட்டளையை அப்படியே பின்பற்றுபவர் ரஜினிகாந்துக்கு பதவி ஆசையோ, பண ஆசையோ கிடையாது
-- எழுத்தாளர் சோ பாராட்டு
ரஜினிகாந்த் சினிமாவில் இருந்தாலும், பகட்டை விரும்பாதவர்.
அவர், அரசியல் பேசுவார். ஆனால் அரசியல்வாதி அல்ல.
அவர், ஆன்மிகம் பேசுவார். ஆனால் சன்னியாசி அல்ல.
அவர், கடவுளின் அற்புத படைப்பு.
கடவுள் சொல்வதை யாராலும் பின்பற்ற முடியாது. ஆனால் கடவுளின் கட்டளைகளை அப்படியே பின்பற்றும் ஒரே மனிதர், ரஜினிகாந்த்தான்.
-- எழுத்தாளர் சோ பாராட்டு
ரஜினிக்கு, சோ தான் ஆலோசகர் என்று கூறுகிறார்கள். அவர் என் ஆலோசனையை கேட்டு இருந்தால், இவ்வளவு பெரிய வெற்றிகளை பெற்று இருக்க மாட்டார். என் ஆலோசனைகளை கேட்டு யார் உருப்பட்டு இருக்கிறார்கள்? அவர்கள் என்ன ஆனார்கள்? என்பது உங்களுக்கு தெரியும்.

Self Appraisal
A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone numbers).
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy: "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy: "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman: I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy: (with more perseverance): "Lady, I'll even sweep your curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you will have the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach , Florida."
Woman: No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner: "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy: "No thanks",
Store Owner: But you were really pleading for one.
Boy: No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady, I was talking to!"
This is what we call "Self-Appraisal" :)

Who am I?
By seeing my passport
In abroad, people call me as Indian
But in my own country
I still don't know who I am? :(
Within India, I'm a South Indian
Within India, I'am also called as Madrasi
Within Madras/Chennai I am a Tamilian!
Does anyone know who I am ?
To the Muslims/Christians/?? I am a Hindu
To the Hindus I'm a Pillai (or anyother caste name)
Do tell me who I am!!
For my wife I am a husband
For my parents I am a son
For my teachers I am a student
.....
Don't I have one single identity?
When people are being known by their language
When people are being known by their religion
When people are being known by their caste
When people are being known by their race :(
Can somebody say who I am?
I wish people just call me as a (nice) 'Human' and
not to bother about anything else.
That way I will know 'Who I am'!
Updated: I have put 'Human' now instead of 'Indian' as I have used in my original version. Actually I was thinking in that line but didn't change it because i felt I started by saying 'Indian' so let me finish it by 'Indian'. I know stupid logic :) But one of my friend Tejas asked me the same question. So i made the modification immediately :)

Is Jeans the safest dress for girls??
Italy's highest court has ruled that a woman wearing jeans cannot be raped. Check out this BBC article on this :(
Why do we wear the wedding ring on our 4th finger....
Till recently based on the articles I have read in the past I was thinking that the veins in our fourth finger are closer to our heart. So we wear the wedding rings in our 4th finger.
Few days back I got a mail which talks about the 'Chinese' theory relating to this. It was a really interesting read. Let me put it down here for you guys!
Chinese Explanation:
1. Thumb represents your parents
2. Second (Index) finger represents your siblings
3. Middle finger represents yourself
4. Fourth (Ring) finger represents your life partner
5. Last (Little) finger represents your children
Open your palms face-to-face and then bend the middle fingers and hold them together back-to-back. Secondly open and hold the remaining fingers from the thumb tip-to-tip as I have shown below.
Now try to separate your thumbs which represents your parents. They will open because your parents are not destined to life for rest of your life! They will leave you sooner or later.
Join the thumbs and separate the index fingers which represents the sibblings. This will also open because your brothers and sister would have their own families and will have to lead their own separate life.
Now join your index fingers and separate the little fingers which represents your children. They will open too because children will grow up, get married and settled down someday on their own.
Finally join your little fingers and try to separate your ring (fourth) finger which represents your spouse. You will be surprised to know that you cannot do it because husband and wife are meant to be together all through their lifes :)
If you are not able to follow the steps properly :) check out this movie in Metacafe
Hope this would have been an interesting read for you too!

3 Way Chess!
Mr. X: How good are you in chess?
Mr. Y: Pretty Good.
Mr. X: Oh is it! How long are you into this game?
Mr. Y: I am playing since my childhood and have represented my school, college, district, state and India too!! I have won numerous awards in this game!
Mr. X: Wow great. In how many moves can you defeat a person?
Mr. Y: Normal to intermediate level players I can easily beat in 3 moves. Master level players I will easily beat in 15 moves.
Mr. X: Man you are terrific. I am glad I met you now.
Mr. Y: Yeah its fine. These are small things for my standard
Mr. X: How about playing a game of chess with me. Don't bother I am not a great player like you but would want to give it a shot.
Mr. Y: Actually I need to rush. But no issues I can finish you off in 5 mins and go. Do you have a chessboard with you? If not, i can take my pocket board which Viswanathan Anand gave it to me as a gift when he lost to me last week!!!
Mr. X: oh my God. Viswanathan Anand has lost to you. Ok then I don't think I can beat you alone. Shall I invite my friend also to play with us?
Mr. Y: No problem you can call any number of your friends for your help dude. I have no issues at all. Then starts laughing sarcastically.
Mr. X: Runs and brings one of his friend from his neighbourhood. He then says, we are ready come into my drawing room we start our game.
Mr. Y: Picks up his mobile phone and talks to somebody saying that he will come to his house in 10 mins sharply. Then he starts walking pretty casually towards Mr. X's drawing room.
By the time Mr. Y reaches there Mr. X shouts saying come fast I have played my first move.
Mr. Y: ...sarcastically thinks..... what a rush for guys to lose to me....... but on reaching the drawing room he faints immediately.
WHY? Think for a minute and scroll down

You are a donkey! as per Modern Mathematics.
Equation 1:
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy
Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore, Human = Donkey + work + enjoy
so, Human - enjoy = Donkey + work
In other words, Human that don't know enjoy = Donkey that work --> (A)
Equation 2:
Men = eat + sleep + earn money
Donkeys = eat + sleep
Therefore, Men = Donkeys + earn money --> (B)
i.e., Men - earn money = Donkeys
In other words, Men that don't earn money = Donkeys --> (C)
Equation 3
Women = eat + sleep + spend
Donkeys = eat + sleep
Therefore, Women = Donkeys + spend --> (D)
i.e., Women - spend = Donkeys
In other words, Women that don't spend = Donkeys --> (E)
Conclusion:
From C and E, Men that don't earn money = Women that don't spend
So, Men earn money not to let women become Donkeys! (Postulate 1)
Women spend not to let men become Donkeys! (Postulate 2)
From B + D, we have
Men + Women = Donkeys + earn money + Donkeys + spend
From Postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys and the Donkeys live happily ever after! :)

Snowfall in Dallas...
The time shown in the pictures are all in IST :) I haven't changed it to CST yet. So don't get confused.
Sachin helped India create History in Australia ...
Sachin Tendulkar hit 91 runs in 121 balls in 2nd Final against Australia in the on-going CB Series. He fell just short of 9 runs else it would have been two wonderful back to back centuries in Australia.

Extract from Kasprowicz (Australia's ex-pace bowler) Interview:
"What has always surprised me is that people have doubted him (for big matches) in India. Personally, I can’t believe it. He is such a strong player, not only for India but also for the younger players, who have the benefit of watching what he does and how he does it,"

Watched NBA match Live in Stadium
Yesterday evening I went with my colleague Sudharsan for a NBA match between Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings in American Airlines Center, Dallas, TX.
We went 1 hour early to avoid getting stuck in traffic at the last minute and also to get the parking slot easily :) The atmosphere was really great. The stadium was quite big and attendance for that match was 20,354.
We went 1 hour early to avoid getting stuck in traffic at the last minute and also to get the parking slot easily :) The atmosphere was really great. The stadium was quite big and attendance for that match was 20,354.
When we went in teams where practising and it was good to see them shoot at the basket with ease from various positions. One thing I noticed here is during breaks, timeouts we don't get bored as they do some events in that short time slot also ... Interesting! The best of the lot is cheerleaders dance performances :)
I participated in a survey there and won a beads chain as a gift. I have no clue on what i need to do with it :)
Back home we are crazy about Cricket I guess these people here are crazy about NBA and Football! I have watched few matches in ESPN but I haven't understood anything majorly. But Sudharsan helped me understand the rules and watching the match after knowing it was fun.
In the place I am staying now I majorly see only desi people. That's one another thing which I love about yesterdays match! Happy to see lots of American 'Girls' and guys at one place :)
The match was won by Dallas Mavericks.
