how is it that when ur not in front of ur comp or having a pen by ur side that u can think of a lot of thoughts and feelings....
the ideas just flow past u....
And when u do sit down to write it is like a blank slate....
Can't fill in inspite of the fact that at times one is brimming with a lot of ideas.....
sumtimes though like an anticlimax when ur typing .... u have so many ideas that typing seems real slow.....
Also ever notice that sumtimes with just a few words one can correctly get the whole picture in mind ...
and sumtimes no matter how much u write u cannot grab the essence at all.

Am i an owl or what......
The most common misconception is of wrking late is that one is wrking for a Call Center or a BPO. When after a long and hectic :) day(or rather evening ) in front of the comp, sumtimes late nights when some client call is scheduled at ungodly time..... I send out my Good Morning Mails..... to all my friends and collegues..
Of course not to show that i am working late...but it is just that i like the idea of ppl cuming and reading my mail first...
Technically at 2 or 3 a.m it is right time to say 'Good Morning' but it is too dark outside to feel so though....
Most of my friends have now got an impression that i am after all working for some Call Center (though I am in a pure development proj) Handling calls at night.. Now that ... you see I am handling client calls at that time but time and again it is for some code pushing to production or sumthing like that.....
And I am not working for a call center....(though development teams seldom do wait late)
But then i do stay late hours.... i used to never late nights even to study for any exams or tests....
The only time i remember doing night out was to watch sum movie which was scheduled by our good old DD(national TV channel) at ungodly hour....
There was a time and project when i used to (still do) like working mornings... basically am an early morning person... think that most of the productive work happens in the mornings when one i fresh...
Now I guess focus is on just getting sum work done work late....
My team mates blasting music at one corner... Another team discussing the happenings in their project.... (sum are like me working late and sum are not like me and working for prod support 24*7)
Most of us have seen offices by morning.. but here too at night sumtimes ppl working under the artificial white lights give the impression that ppl are wrking in the late evening... it is only when u glance at the time that u realize that 'ohh it is after midnight' .....
'Early to bed early to rise, Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise'....
who knows whether framing this as
Late to bed, Late to rise, Makes a man unhealthy, maybe wealthy and sleepy
Makes more sense for all the night owls.....
Most of the working late is because of co-ordinating with the onsite and that could be anywhere on the face of the earth....
In the H.G.Wells book, Time is described as the fourth dimension...Hope this dimension does not add up and we wud be co-ordinating sumwhere with space too.....
But sumtimes it is fun to wrk late... it is kind of relaxing and offbeat......
Sumtimes it brings out the passion in getting the work done .....
Though i don't think it is enjoyable and healthy in the long term....
But till it lasts..... Lets njoii being a night owl......... :)
Cheerio,
The Night owl(only on weekdays)

Morals of Dil Chahta Hai ....
am now thinking about my profile....
for an avid movie watcher, fav movies actually stumped me... i like so many movies but am blank abt their names(isn't that usual).....
After updating my profile.... just remembered i like Dil Chahta hai(Hindi movie)....
It is a good movie atleast the thought and experiences of the three protagonists....
Here is the forward i had got sumtime back as Morals of Dil Chahta Hai... (The thought that counts not the preachy nature ) whoever penned them really analysed a lot...
Things u can learn from Dil Chahta Hai..
* Freaking out and enjoying life doesn't need drugs or cigarettes.
* There are relationships apart from bf/gf, marriage, siblings, friendship that can be very emotional and true. This is beyond the understanding of many people.
* And yeah even though u may be the best of friends there is always a limit which shud never never be crossed. Then it starts hurting...........
* Improving ur imperfections after you realize it, always take some time.
* You always don’t need to show or prove your gf how much u love or care about her, which can sound very boring and finally u r dumped.
* Believe in Love, true love will never let you down
* Never be ashamed to go back to your old friends, friends are there to understand your mistakes.
* Do not be afraid of others, always think that others r afraid of you.(Australian Beggar )
* Whenever you need your friend, remember that he is just a phone call away... distances can't separate friends
* What a woman wants in life is some one who can make her smile. Be true in all your relationships, be friend, wife, or a stranger.
* In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
* It's the friends you can call up at 4 A. M. that matter.
* The only unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.
* The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with - never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Hope all of us get good friends in life....

writer's block or blogger's block
now a days have got a new passion that is apart reading books and watching movies.....
it is reading blogs... like the fact that there are many out there having thoughts that seems like carbon copies of mine floating online....
so all the adrenaline rushing finally after quite a few reads felt why not have my own blog...
i do like to write sumtimes on and off... i do mail my musings to a select group of friends(poor ppl!!! ).... then thought i why not subject the torture to a few more ....
finally decided... took my first step towards blogging...
there came the first hurdle... what shud i name the blog... my name being fairly common.... cannot use that....
wanted sumthing which will attract sum attention but not a lot... sumthing that will be fairly common for friends to remember when the type online...
i used to think that i knw quite a few synonyms.... but there the webpage is asking me to write a name for ur blog and there i am blank .....
I can get names only with @ or by and all the names seem so clumsy and not elegant....
finally decide to write and at the very first mini step this....
spent good 5 mins deciding shud i get sum name frm old english... shud i use two adjectives...
and for the next five mins was wondering why i did not have an unpronuncable surname atleast that way my name wud hav been unique .....
then i thought better still write a diary... no bother of naming it.... but i knw i will write a page and leave it....
no no ...
i must write ahead... atleast online.... atleast one post....
good few mins later no headway... then thought forget whatever just write that....
then thought of leisurelymusings ... ah wht a sound and effect...
but who wud remember the continuous spelling... more chances of mistake....
how abt randommusings .... fairly same effect...
but wht if sumone misses the double 'm' ....
This is getting me nowhere.... thats it... i can continue till the end of the day with this stuff...
4get it i am lazy but not to the extent of not thinking up a name.
ok decided on a simple no nonsense name - tina2blog
atleast it makes up for the lack of complicated surname
finally made sum headway….
hope this adrenaline rush keeps up and i do more than one post J
atleast i won’t have to write every day like i wud have had to if i had my diary…
like ‘Emily’ in L.M. Montgomery’s says there are times when I have to write…. put all the pent up thoughts into words….maybe that time the blog will be my writepad
so long…
