Mahabharatam for dummies

Just Heard...
Dharmaraju: Enti aa pani kuda cheyyaleva... ee matram daaniki aa gaandivam deniki. Daanni pakkana pettey leda evarikaina ichey...
Arjunudu: Baava(Krishnudni) nenu gaandivam pakkana pettey ani evaraina ante vaallaki champestanani pratigna chesanu.. ippudu dharmaraju aa maata annadu... pratigna bhangam cheyyalenu.. andukani dharmarajuni champestanu..

sare... guruvu, tandri anni veerini ekavachanam tho sambodisthe hatya chesinatte lekka... nuvvu ani sambodinchu chaalu...

Arjundu nuvvu ani sambodinchaka...

Arjunudu: Baava... guruvuni champini papam naaku chuttukundi kaabatti inka ee jeevitham nakoddu.. nenu yudham cheyyanu.. chachipotanu.
Krishnudu: (Nenekkada chachedi ra nayana...) aagu kangaru padaku... chachipotaava... sare ninnu nuvvu poguduko... adi chachipoyinatte lekka...

Krishnudu:  aa ippudu yudham chey.

Arjunudu: Baava.. entidi radham ala kaalipotundi.

Prana Bhayam

The fact that people thinking themselves as stable and permanent, in spite of seeing several deaths daily is surprising. ~ Dharmaraju (Yaksha Prasnalu)

Nenu 4th class lo unnappudu nenadigano leda ma naannagaarike teeskellalanipinchindo... nannu maa chellini jurrasic park cinema ki teesekellaru. I mean teeskelli vadileasaru. aa cinema rjy lo ramakrishna theater lo aadindi. appatlo aa theater lo kothaga dolby digital surround sound dts etc anni pettinchaadu. maa chelli 1st class. cinema sagam varaku baane undi. tarvaatha dinosaurlu mammalni choosi dts surround sound lo aravadam modalupettayi.

Anti-Life & Life

Somewhere on the net I came across this line... When you are awesome, you don't blog. Ofcourse the guy had an awesome blog which is altogether a different story. I shamelessly attribute my blog's defunct status to a combination of my laziness and state of mind.

Over this period of one year somemany things have happened and somany things changed. Everytime something astonishing happens to me my reaction will be
1.I am not the first person on the earth to experience this and wouldn't make it any special if I add it in my blog.
2.We have to leave it to life to teach us some important things.(I shouldn't interfere in other's lifecycle).
3.I need to have a structure and flow to my article if I am going to post it and It would take me 2-3 drafts for arriving at the final post. Laziness kicks in.
4.What's the "USE"?


On a closer look I had a bitter realization that my mind is totally in a Anti-Life state.

1. Life throws almost similar situations at all of us. It is totally on US how we react/respond/adapt to them. The US part makes the experience of each individual a unique/special one.
2. I have been wrongfully thinking that too many individuals read my blog and that(rusell peters voiceover starts) "I" am going to "interfere" with "their" lives. [We know that...in reality their = mine.]
3. To expect some orderliness in our day to day scheme of things would be the mistake of highest order. Life thrives on chaos to a great extent.
4. USE is what we make of anything. It's always good to have an Introspection.

Life is just small things summed up to give a big picture. Take good care of the small things and you need not worry about the big picture.

Remember there are no small mistakes. There can be silly questions though ;)

Dude...I want "serializable" friends !

For the priceless being that I am, I usually send a greeting card or a grateful message to my best buds.Something really astonishing happened this time.

Yes Devi friends can be “variable” indeed. They can also be public and private, static and abstract. :)

Kalpit

At this point I really didnt know what to write. I forgot about it till evening. But I couldnt give up. The easiest way I can think of is to touch upon the variable types left by my friend. For some unknown reason the word serializable flashed in my mind. Then...

Something caught my attention. When I told my friends about this they were uncontrollably laughing at the "serializable" part which made me feel like a jacka**.

But wait.... thats not the joke, thats not even a word.

Yes its not a word according to the spellcheck option in MS Outlook. It was spitting a bizzarre red underline when I wanted to type serializable. It was expecting something else. I couldnt contain my laughing when I saw what it was suggesting.

Surely someone at MS is horny.

Later my friend told me that they might be too advanced and making software capable of reading our thoughts. err ! (I thought they were making efforts or inclined towards increasing the well-being of humankind... read philanthropy.)

And to see what it was expecting just try it out for yourself. Try it. Try it.

I still cannot understand someone really "thought" that I would write it that way ;-)
