The rolling potato and limbs

It has been an year and a month. There was a lot of confusion round that time, everyone wanted a piece to be name it after them and I was too curious to know if the nose would remain squashed or if would fluff out and be bit pointy as mine, nothing really mattered for me. Days started to roll, then weeks, then months; now when we look back and it had been quite tiresome and sleepless. Wonder if Moods would give me a cut of profit if I had made 'a second a day' video till date and made it into a campaign.

Practially my niece was brought up in our home all the crawling and oogly woogly moves was not new to me, maybe that's why it excites my wife too often that she gets irritated that I don't. But the way this guy moves around with stretched arms is way too amusing! Carries his mom smile, an awkward open mouth but without teeth now it looks even more funny on this face.

His preferences are pretty straight. High speed fan, one or two blankets based on weather, hates diaper and shames you by peeing on our hands when we take off diaper, I think he has misunderstood the purpose of diaper; never takes a pee or poo while wearing one. No bright ligth or noisy toys, he prefers to make the 'bang' noise all by himself. Might sound stereotypical but he loves cars than dolls, not just the miniatures.

I carried funny tags describing my round head, subtly 'laddu' or literally 'urunda manda' and he has all that required, infact additional qualifications to inherit the titles and yes he is chubby and lovely that I want to bite him without harming. It is after all no brainer that he'd become one, his mom carries similar titles too but that nose was still a worry for me and it apparently became the nightmare of my life. I wonder what resides inside his head and how he is going to put it to use, will he be a politician or something... ppl tend to treat their children as play dough and make one figure that they wanted to be, or maybe a carnatic singer.

Personally played a good amount of role that he would listen to rhymes that are soothing and calm, I specially recommend the Super Simple Learning creations the color palettes are calming and the minimalistic characters are cool. No prize for guessing he is attracted to my dad's ringtone which is a fast devotional number of Ayyappa. My mom has made a point to take him to temple daily and inject devotion as she does to rest of us, I don't see him resisting but what worries me is that he pulls me and wants me to participate whenever I'm available.

Learned our work schedule, has figured out the weekday vs weekend dressing. You can't simply start from home in bike if you are not going to office, it'll be very interesting to know how he differentiates us going to work and other going out. When it come to being materialistic (not in a negative tone) he has managed to out run me. While he doesn't have a favorite toy, my mom's purse is under his control even if she has to open it! it is adorable when he shoos off others. Strange but he happily gives up his toys for other kids, quite strange.

It was a poor sight to see him cry when too much of attention was poured on him. It was his birthday party, yes, but still he wanted to run, giggle and live on his world. Smile for camera, respect the elder, get kissed by strangers was never on to-do list; He was like let me live my life, on my leg, literally he wanted to be on his legs. The best character he had inheritted, it runs in the family my dad, grand dad they choose what to do with life; so did I, signs out he'd do the same.

And my nightmare became apparent, the nose, its not pointy it blunt and bulged and reminds too much of a face that I don't wish to be reminded often. It is going to be teribble for me to make a lovable hug with that nose sticked on, God knows how much I wish to re-model it. Its been... like 2 months since he has started to run, coz walking is for average, he runs the crap out. It is such a mesmerising sight to see him shake his head and make an awkward run covering two rooms and still giggle. It is a mixture of pee-a-boo and catch-me funny, crazy, stupid, loving, adorable all at the same time. Does more than enough to attract everyones attention

Talking about attention, I was texting while carrying him on my hands, it didn't take him great amount of time for him to grab my chin and turn my face to face him. He was not doing his open mouth smile, a fixed gaze, sharp piercing my morale; well I had to drop the phone and bring back the smile on his face, no excuses what-so-ever. I'm not launching any campaings... let there me more adorable potatoes on earth.

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

When would the thriller end in Group B?

Chennai, 18/01/2011 World Cup 2011, the final four from Group B is to be decided in the last league match of the tournament. If the last played match in Group B between England and West Indies on 17/03 was won by West Indies there would not be any problem. Now I'll discuss the possibilities! If Bangladesh is to Exit This is the simplest of all, if BAN is going to lose against South Africa they'll make their way out from World Cup. If West Indies is to Exit This is next possible if BAN wins SA, and India wins West Indies they are out with 6pts while team ahead of them will have 7pts and 8pts. If England to Exit This is next in list, If BAN wins over SA. If Ind Vs WI match ends with WI winning by small or moderate margin. If India to Exit The most impossible to happen thats why I say India is already qualified! After BAN wins SA, WI must achieve a target over 250runs in 25 overs or target over 300runs in 30 overs. If India is going to chase West Ind...

How to make Recycle bin understand your mood? Delete operations made easier

I know the title is bit void ;) but i can't come up with better. With the internet age on high we are finding it difficult to actually delete outdated items. So here is way to make your Recycle bin to understand you. How? Properties dialog box of it :) Recycle bin Properties dialog box Right click Recycle-bin icon to access Properties , at the bottom of dialog box you'd find a check box (Red box in image) whether to ask for conformation un-check it when you are on week-end PC clean work. Delete operations are now just a button away ;) cool isn't it, but beware of consequences. {Sorry for the old-look image I use windows classic theme, as I heard it will use only minimum processor so speed will increase you can try this too } Still not enough you want the file to go away... just go away instead of sitting in recycle bin watch the pink box. Click configure for independent drives, every drive tab will have options similar to as Global settings except for '...

A trip to Meluha alongside Shiva

I never comment about his attitude or his grin face very ill tempered guy… no one wants to mess with him. He was breathing heavy probably he just battled out someone near our lake’s bank or was he resting after his regular practice. Why does the blood stains are still there in his sword probably he just put few life to end, just before I could ask him to wash them we heard some announcement deep from Manasarowar. Couple of strangers were using some bizarre tools to shout, actually they are inviting us to their town. I wanted to warn of letting strangers inside village but Shiva had other ideas, he was sure they are not part of local barbaric tribes. May be our ancestors mustn’t have allowed other tribes to fetch water from the holy lake, their thirst was for blood not water. I thought he can discuss about foreigners to him but he was so depressed about next barbaric attack from local tribes. Before dusk another attack we were not able to prevent the murder of kids and women. Ruthl...

Microsoft showing no mercy: Morro and Media player 12 are neither for XP user nor for Vista users

Windows 7 beta version went on to places replacing all other operating system. Even before the official launch of the OS Microsoft was ready to launch software which will not work on xp or partially on Vista. Windows Vista was a big failure for Microsoft they lost their market; Not because of its incompatibility to software’s without digital signature or pirated software but also because of the requirements and the large space that it occupies for no reason. Once Microsoft was The commander in chief the OS market with Windows XP later with its service packs. The fall of the giant was not because of Mac or Useless firewall it was because of the much hiked Vista. Vista was a good for nothing OS neither they were little nor compatible; Even though they caught the minds and eyes of many failed to rule the market as XP did. Windows 7 successor of Vista is not just a compatible OS its requirements are lower than its predecessor. There is no problem in Windows 7 but it is creating pr...
