This blog entry will continue to grow as and when i come up with some interesting khichdi material :)
To err is human, but to really
foul things up... u need a computer.
When the going gets tough,
the tough gets going,
and comes real close to you !

I Thought women were from Venus....ONLY !!!
After reading today's newspaper... there was this inevitable eenkling in me.. i HAD to write this.
We are always 'hypnotized' to believe "Men are from Mars and Women from Venus" but wait a minute... whats this ? a picture from NASA shows a supposedly 'naked' women outstretching her arm on Mars !!! Obviously the BIG question of the day is Is there life on the barren lands of Mars ???
Well the hype is natural for the media. but there are a few questions that come to my mind !!!
how do they (the scientists, media and whatever...) know that 'it' is naked ?
and it is a female ???
or they just went on like
" ohk it appears to be naked.... might as well make it a female... who likes to see nude males anyhow... "
well one things for sure... if any of the hindi news channels, barring only a few, get the chance of interviewing this lone lady, they would go like "hows the night life there ?" or "are there men also ?" and then "how many boyfriends have u had ?" "kisi ke saath aapka nainmatakka bhi hua tha ?... kya aapke pas video hai ?" and all the shit ...
Nevertheless, lets not get distracted from the topic... :P
Now, the very sound of women being on mars brings some interesting thoughts.
is this like Women Empowerment or something !?!?!? After battling it out successfully here on earth.... they have stepped on men's shoulders (i urge u to visualize this...its a lot meaningful that way...try it) they have started the conquest for mars !!!
i mean the only private place left for the battered male is under attack !!!! this is serious shit man !!!
What.... u dont agree with me... then look around. First place would be the IDIOT BOX. Do u see a single ad of a male consumer item WITHOUT a female in it ??? i mean talk about electronic items, cars, bikes, clothes, accessories, and even the male inner wear ads are full of female models !!!!!!!! i mean this is the heights.... this is literally going to the dogs... do u ever see a MAN in ads that are targeted for women consumers. do u see a man in a perfume add or a soap add or a saree ad (i know it seems illogical but just compare it with ads of male clothes !) or u might see me as an extremist when i say that there is no male in a womens inners ads !!! (mind u - m not complaining on this one - this is the way it shud be !) but just look at the disparity man...
is there any place or any thing that belongs solely in the domain of males ???? everything has been overpowered by the farer sex. (again - the self proclaimed 'farer' see what i mean !!! )
on the other hand is this also one of the many male fantasies or more appropriately the caveman's innate Tribal Instincts that are at work when he sees that organism on Mars as a lady bird !!!!!!
( @female readers : Looks like we have a La Fight at hand...aye )
Truth be told...even science says that men will be an extinct species in the near future. ( @ for all u nocturnal birds out there) Even procreation will be in control of your femme fatale !!! Seems more like recreation will be the only thing expected of us.
Well then....guess it IS really time for us to retreat.
might as well make the most of it njoyable....
Bon soir.... :)

2007..... - > 0010 1000
There are only 10 kind of people in this world...
those who understand binary, and those who don't :)
Finally, the year 2007 is about to get over,
at this very point in time. a year ago we were all waiting
for 2007, and now, how we abandon it,
to make room for the new one !
Everyone greets the new year in his or her own way.
some spend it partying...'DJing' around the city
some cook lavish dinners,
some like to pamper, go shopping,
while the lazy ones just hang around n 'cozy' up
to the idiot box.
while amongst this all, when one doesn't celebrate,
when one feels nothing new about it, what shall he do ???
what does he think when he sees everyone around him party ???
on one hand, he perceives it as a waste of time, a frivolous act to fool oneself,
but on the other hand, he craves ....
craves to find that one reason to celebrate,
one that would make him look forward to the new year,
one that would make him spontaneous again,
one that would make him act foolish again,
one that would make jump with joy,
one that would make him free...
one that would end his painful longing...
As for me, lets c how 2008 turns out to be !!!
2007 was all the usual stuff with unusual things... :)

Logos and their Meanings...
Company Logos and their Meanings
the significance behind them? Wonder no more!
You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it
says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and
it also represents the smile brought to
the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep.
Eighty-20 is a small consulting company which does
sophisticated financial modeling, as well as some solid
database work. All their work is highly quantitative and
relies on some serious computational power, and the logo is meant to convey it.

People first guess that 20% of the squares are
darkened, but that turns out to be false after counting them. The trick is to view the dark squares as 1's and
the light squares as 0's.
Then the top line reads 1010000 and the bottom line reads 0010100, which represent 80 and 20 in binary.
Kinda like the surreal gr een screen of The Matrix, they
want us to read stuff in binary

Am not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden
symbol in the Federal Express logo.
Yeah, I am talking about the 'arrow' that you can see
between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was
introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are
part of the positioning of the company.

Paul Rand (who designed the iconic IBM log o in 1972)
designed this 'eye bee M' logo in 1981.
I like that they are quite relaxed about the logo,
unlike certain other companies who do not like the logo to be tampered with in any way even for internal promotions

The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of
symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that
the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each
other look a lot like the letter S in a
perpendicular direction.
Spectacular.
The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest
stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is
about quite figuratively through the logo catches my
attention.

This was a logo created for a puzzle game called Cluenatic. This game involves unravelling four clues.
The logo has the letters C, L, U and E arranged as a maze. and from a distance,
the logo looks like a key
This logo is too good. For the name Eight, they have
used a font in which each letter is a minor adaptation
of the number 8.
