Life Reloaded!!!

Embarrassing Moment for you - Friend - So how is your work at ICICI? You - I don't work at ICICI. I work at SEBI. F - SEBI? Y - Securities & Exchanges Board of India F - Oh, ok. So what do you do? Procure security equipment? Embarrassing Moment for your friend - Y - Dude, "securities" is related to stocks and shares. More embarrassment for your friend - You tell Viraj, Aditya & Nikhil about this. Result - A joke which will be told and retold and retold till it becomes a part of our "friendly" folklore :)

Since reading xkcd , I have gone back to my old collection of Sherlock Homes. I had stopped reading those books, after I finished the major stories. The rest of the stories which I have read recently, may not as interesting as the initial ones, but I am still mesmerized by Homes' deductive skills. In fact, I think I missed a lot by not having subtitles when I saw the movie Sherlock Homes. The same is true with the British series Sherlock (Do watch the serial if you haven't, its just 4 episodes). One last thing, why is the term "Elementary my dear, Watson!" so famous? I haven't found this phrase too many places.

Before I was banned from buying new books, I bought Xkcd: Volume 0 . It has a collection of Randall Munroe's few favorite strips from his web comic xkcd. Some of my favorite entries from the book - Trace My Path - http://xkcd.com/85/ Pointers - http://xkcd.com/138/ Sandwitch - http://xkcd.com/149/ Fixed Width - http://xkcd.com/276/ NP-Complete - http://xkcd.com/287/ Getting out of hand - http://xkcd.com/333/ Basilisk - http://xkcd.com/380/ (Best one) Locked out- http://xkcd.com/530/ Can't Sleep - http://xkcd.com/571/ I couldn't understand this one - http://xkcd.com/54/  Please explain me if you could. Fact : The page nos of the book are in base 3.

2 things I have noticed about my NITIE classmates post MBA - MBA seems to be a pass for marriage for most them. I have been receiving one invitation of wedding/engagement per week. Most people either don't join the company they get placed or change job within first 3 months.

I had almost given up reading Naruto when the latest twist happened. It was getting too boring with Naruto saving each every one with the usual routine. In fact, I had not read the manga for past 2 weeks. It just happened that Vikas told me that "Tobi is actually Tobi". I just checked the latest 2 issues. Well, it was interesting to see who Kabuto's trump card was. I thought it was Sage of Six Paths, but as always a surprise was waiting for the readers :)

Remember the time when I used to repeat those words? Recently, when Vikas kept on pulling Piyush's leg over the use of phrase "Main kya kehta hoon...", it reminded me of the time when Sankalp did the same with me :)
