Yet Another Software Junk | മറ്റൊരു പാഴ്‌ജന്മം

1. The most desirable celebrity: Meg Ryan

‘You have got mail’ impressed me a lot. I had rented out that CD, since it was a Tom Hank’s Movie. But after watching the movie I purchased a copy as a “Meg Ryan” Movie. The last scene is still unforgettable. Everything perfectly synced in her face. And a single sentence “I wanted it to be you…. I wanted it to be you so badly”. Happy, surprise, suspect, realization, ‘Anada kanneer’ (cry with joy) and love. Who else could replace her?!!!

2. Want to do this someday: Himalayan Trucking

Yupe, my 7^th wish in the wish list. I want it to be done so badly.

3. Want to visit this place: Scottish Castles

A farm house in the valleys of Scottish mountains.. It may resemble to that of ‘Brave Heart’, my favorite Mel Gibson movie. Oru kuthiraye kittiyirunnekil !!! (If a horse were there to ride) it will be wonderful.

4. Random Favorite:

Maradona: A perfect football magician. Amazed to see his speed and control over the ball.
Now, trying to learn his tricks. You know, I managed to score one goal using his reverse cross. Kalodiyaanjathu ente bhagyam, 3 goal kalanjathinte pazhi vere ( Luckly, bones were not broken yet, by trying his trick and still my teammates cursed for 3 missed goals in my unnecessary ‘reverse cross’). Yeah, he influenced me a lot. Hence an argentinean_fan++.

Stephy Graph (Rank 2, Germen), Tendulkar (rank 3, Proud Indian ), Ivan Lendel (my old favorite, England), Wassim Akram (Rank5, Pakistan), Roberto Carlos (Rank 6, Brazil), Rahul Dravid (Rank7, Makes India Proud), PT. Usha/Anju Baby George (Rank8, Proud Keralites), Joe Paul Anjeri/Papachan (Rank 9, Makes all Thrissurians proud),

Jimmy George (Rank 10, I am unfortunate; never happened to see his game; but I can’t forget the great Indian Volley ball player). Jimmy is the youngest volleyball player to win Arjuna Award at the age of 21. He is the first Indian volleyball player to play club volleyball in Italy. Still take the top 10 attackers in World Volleyball map; you may see his name

5. I was tagged by Dhanush.

5 people who top your shit list….. and why:
No one in this hour or day; hence nobody.
But in General,
1) People who waste so much food in hotels.
2) US for trying to intrude into other nations
3) My uncle who treated his children separately ; resulted in ...
One of his son still holding just a pre-degree though he was the highest mark holder in my BIG family both in SSLC and Pre-degree.
4) Girls/Women wearing sexy dresses(I like to see them, but hate the person ;-)

5 Close brushes with death/danger:

1) During my Pre-degree days, nearly escaped from bus tyres
2) Once from a new dividers set in the middle of Thrissur round; Thanks David, Your breaks were powerful than Samson's Disk Break at least for that micro second, I felt.


5 Preferable modes of suicide, in descending order:

Not interested to suicide, may be afraid of or I can manage sad situations in a couple of seconds.

5 Guilty pleasures:

1) Sleeping after lunch; SMT simply says "Remember, GOD is watching all these"

2) Calling my friends at mid-night; hey 11.30 is not a mid-night.

3) Smell my hand after meals with fish curry.

4) Switch on my 'Bose' whenever I get time; most likely early morning to disturb SMT ;-)
Do you know, I was very happy when downstairs neighbours were complained about its bass. paisa mothalaayi ;-)

5) Just watching movies; see the real picture here.

5 things you never want to forget:

1) Promod sir and his family for their complete support.
2) Year 1996. Most remarkable year in my life.
My potentials were used a lot in this year, I believe.
3) My job hunts.
4) SKP and my students.
Last but not least:
5) My friends from childhood to till date for their unconditional support.

5 things you wish to forget:

enthoram mistakes aa ee jeevithathil chaithu koottiyittullathu...
(Done a lot of mistakes) but minor things... I forgot almost all.

1) Fish cutlet cooked by Ammachi (my mom)
2) Beef curry by her sister
3) Puli chamanthi by my brother
4) Meen chuttathu by Ammachi. see my lips.
5) Chicken Tikka anywhere

5 crushes/loves in your life…

JJ (JJ crush on another JJ; cool isn't it)
AS (this might be... not a truly crush; just a illusion.)
DD (First Crush: Actually I targeted CSE, B.Tech bcoz of her ;
thoughts of her motivated me to become something)

All above are just funny crushes; I havn’t even talked to the first and last ones.
still it is in my wish list.

Adding some serious crushes ;-)

Kajol and Bipasha Basu ;my favourite "Dusky"ies.
Hope that Ajay Devgan and John Abraham are not aware about this blog :-)


5 Strangest dream you ever had:
1. To earn 28 cores;
Still it is a dream only and sorry I am not doing anything for that.
I don't know how I got a figure 28!!!
But I would like to get married at 28.
I would like to score 28 run in an over.
only 26 and 24 are the top two scores in an over.

2. To became a civil engineer. Now there is no way.
But I did an Architect's job by designing the front door of my house.
Most likely I would like to draw the plan for my own house sometime.

3. To build a Malayalam spell checker;
half way through even 4 year before; Now I am idle.

5 most valued personal possessions:

1. BSA SLR; sold it out without my knowledge.
Yamaha Crux R (David) / Bajaj Avenger (Samson) .

2. This blog; I love this blog too much, so I might be shutting it down soon. (Snehichu kolluka ennu parayum)

3. My mobile; Nokia 1100. - It is my reminder system+ Alarm system + SMS system to schedule or cancel morning football game and occasionally I use this device to call my Mom.
This device has a good fault recovery mechanism too. I have tested that product by dropping it at least a dozen times from my pockets.

4. My PC, Intel Pentium I, 100MHz; it is still up and running even after 8 years.
I would like to call her Neucy. She nearly executed 20000 lines of Code for me and have crashed (seg fault) at least 10000 times by running my programs alone; faults of Windows excluded here.

5. My Watch, which was gifted by my uncle after 10th and for the last 2 years I am not using it. But still it is running. Oru amaantham pidicho ennu samsayam undu. ( I doubt it is running slow now)

5 favorite superheroes….. and why:

Phantom: The concept; Hide and Act. and keeping the legacy.
Spiderman: only after recent movies. many times if wished , if I were a Spiderman(especially @ traffic jam ;-)
Terminator: Again that movie impressed me a lot.
Kapeesh : A Poombatta fame monkey.
Luttappi and Puttalu from Mayaavi Stories. (Feel sad to see Luttappi in trouble)
