Google O Google..

Well i saw manoj s blog yesterday, and read abt the history of google..
it was pretty amazing, the story of a company not even a decade old! I definitely feel with my zero knowledge of stock markets, that the best thing to do would be to invest in the Google stock, but unfortunately u cannot invest in it(legally) if u r in India :( [If sum1 knows more abt this, please temme :D ]
hmm , well i wonder what i would do without google! It gives me everything i want!! The number of lines of code i v Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V'd using google , wow saves so much time!!

It amazes u with results that u are just looking for !
Rumors that google's gonna release an OS in a couple of years.. I m sure that wud spell the END for MS!! I mean.. Jus imagine, they have got the best brains in the world for algorithms and blah blah.. and if they are to release an OS, with the open source stuff google is into, i wonder why any1 wud pay for MS OS then!!
Everything that they release is like "OmfG"... U just wonder how they do it.. and the best part is the element of surprise in their products...
Damn, if i could relive my college life, 1 thing I would do for sure is take the DSA,OS courses seriously and try to get myself into a position to be able to make it to google..

Its definitely the best place to work, and surely THE company thats gonna make it huge in the next decade..

RotK - Return of the KoD

Ah! Its been a looooong time since i posted here .. and yes.. as the title says ..
its the return of the KoD :P!!
hmm so what was i upto all these dayz!! well from the looks of it , its been 10 months.. lol , thats a lotta time!!

Well to be honest, (hmm am i trying to say i aint honest at times :P ?? ) reading some hilarious blogs have rekindled my spirit to blog!! If u haven't checked this blog, i suggest u do it now , coz its one of the most amazing one's i have seen!

Hmm ok, so my last post was about rock and metal music with some idiotic formatting :P ...
well I v been on a downloading spree from the day i started interning @ CISCO (July 17th) ..
lots of such crazy guitar music which i can't do without..!!

Hmm.. so lemme tell you how i spend a day @ cisco :D
well i come here by 11 am, after working my way through the not-so-insane bangalore traffic (hmm that reminds me...ahh well lemme postpone this to another post...hehe)..
then get to my cube, and .. well first thing i do is put my headphones on!! I m so used to putting them on, that it really doesn't matter if i'm lisnin to something or not...Then time 2 relax, am basically rewarding myself for getting to cisco alive :P
Open Gtalk , Outlook , Sametime , Orkut , Blogs , etc and do total TP(time pass) till 11 45 or 12..
Hmm yes then time to .... naaah not work... time to have tea!!!
And there , in the pantry, read my favorite newspaper ToI (ye yea ob .. thats y :P)
ah , ok so I come back around 12 20, and hmm okie I decide lemme start working on whatever I have been asked to do..
Ding-Dong!! time s 1 pm LOL thats time for lunch, after all the hectic work :P
Come back by 1 40 after hogging and gulping a tin of pepsi!!
You should never work immediately after lunch, well thats what I v heard and I strictly adhere to it :D
Chat and head bang for some time , exchange reviews of some of the recent songs I v heard with Sc'jole...! We got such a similar taste in music, that just keeps us going on and on...
Ah its almost 3...Conscience pricks me :P saying "Assjolest fellow , work for sometime atleast, Thu U" !!! hehe...
So i work for a while and yea , i must admit it, i really have learned a lot over here!! Well since i have my headphones on the entire time with some metal stuff playing pretty much max volume, i dont get distracted at all :D

hmm.. the track changes ... ahh!! what is that i hear?!! 'The sound of a ball pitching .... and a bat hitting it'..!!
yoyo time for gully(rather carpet..hehe..)cricket!! CISCO is such a cool place to work.
I dont find people stressed out at all!!
The team I m working with is full of such cool people and i join them for carpet cricket!! :D
....
Ah that was fun ... omg the times 5 30!! time to work (atleast try to.. :P) again...
Around 6 30 i leave , totally fresh from the days hard hard work :D

... Well some of you might think .. ' Ah this is pure exaggeration!! It cant be like this ..'
Hmm well this is pretty much the case 4 outa 5 days a week!!

Believe it .... (if this doesnt ring any bells , Ripley's Believe It or Not shud help u :P)
