Except for Good Ol' Marty ... i'm pretty happy with all my other predictions...hey i was almost doing a roger ebert ...i called em all ... Charlie Kaufman, Sideways, the tech awards.. except for my three flaws... for animated feature Shrek2, best picture aviator... i was almost sure marty would win...
but damn... You lose The covetted title for Raging Bull, You lose again for Last Temptation of Christ, You lose yet again for GoodFellas, yet once more fate has it that you lose for Gangs of New York ... He lost to Robert Redford(Oridnary People), he lost to Kevin Costner(Dances with Wolves), he lost to Barry Levinson(Rain Man)...he lost to Roman Polanski(The Pianist..) Will he be another Alfred Hitchcock... a great director ... but never celebrated by the academy... always the bridesmaid ..but never the bride..??
Chris Rock was as convincing as Shit on Toast... boo!!! he was being politically correct not turning it into the Chris Rock show.. but expect more... thank god the cool dude from electric company finally won... it was good to see morgan freeman win!

Regardez ici pour l'information en francais
Dont ask me how i got it ... but as far as sumbody i asked as to how i sound said ..it looked like i knew what i was saying... Far from the truth of the matter of course.. i don't know jack shit in french ..and i had to end my freaking presentation with these lines...
Any way as for the interview ... Saturday morning ... i'm like do i want to go for this freaking interview .. is it worth my time ..will i get hired ... why the hell dont i get back to bed and get some much deserved 40 winks... uhuh!!! 5:00 and i was up and hovering around.. shit shave shower... and my i wasnt still sure if i wanted to go... i asked myself for some kind of a sign... and u'd think something would happen.. but nothing nade zilch.. maybe that was the sign... i headed out the door ... got my arse off the first bus ...boarded the Toronto Express ... and got off at Union Station ... and once i get there ... i have this whole mental sparring that i'm doing... buzz like a butterfly sting like a bee..thing... that's what's going on in my head... but i'm cool... like i dont give a flying fuck... this job meant nothing to me... that was the inner mantra.. and i reach there ahead of time .. chat up with this chick outside ..was a particularly chilly day to begin with ... (-15C the wind chill kinda brought it down to -22C) ... and there we're chatting up afront of a closed up CN tower.. we get inside ... my scheduled time is 9:30am.. it's almost 9:00am and she has her interview at 9 so heads for the secruity clearance.. i had down to the gift shop place thingy.. browse around once more ..chat up with the sales staff.. the chicks.. are dont worry... it'll be easy ... Andy's a nice guy .. he's supposed tobe the guy who's doing my interview.. and i ask what's the hottest selling item.. and u know throw a lil party in my head....walk up the stairs ... get to the security chk ... and meet up with the elevator chick ... who once again chats up with me how to answer target specific questions ..any way i get to the 360 restraunt.. [a dinner for two here wuld most likely cost a min of $360.00 ... but i'd be willing to shell that kinda cash ... maybe if i were going to propose to a special somebody maybe... but as of now that'll be what i make a whole week working here..] Andy comes up to meet me ... we get to our table to start off with the interview ...
{remember sachin from the world cup match finals against australia.. that's me usually in a technical interview...totally fucked up... but this was me .. taking stance...and it felt like the india-pak match...} it could quite possibly have been the magnificent view..
his first question ... What interests u to work at the CN Tower? i respond.. The Cn .. is after all one big antenna, i'm an Electronics & Telecom Guy ...hey if i could work here in the tech side of things that would be living the dream..as of now ..this gives me bragging rights... {there... i had just smashed my first six...and i hadnt even got started.. }
The inner engines were just revving up.. and i was slick as shit .. cool as a cucumber... i was tanya harding on ice.....he goes on to how would u show ur paying attention to what some one is saying ... i respond with a if you've ever had a girl friend u know exactly how to show ur paying attn to what the other person is saying ... and there.. he was laughing at that ..and he said funny someone else had said the same thing too.. {ok ... humm looks like he things i'm so full of shit my skin is brown.. looks like i have to change gears...}
he asks how would u rate customer satisfaction... and some shit like that ... bam... this is where i exploded... emotional impact of tourism shopping... how u want to take a slice of the action along with u syndrome.. i was fluid ...i almost started a a whole woody allen meets charlie kauffman thing there... it was just great... and the best part was i was digging in to the trench ..and i was calling the shots ... i was loving it ..u can see the powershift.. and i was ho-humming my way thru..
he asked me how i engage myself while doing boring mundane activities... so i told him abt the panel wiring .. 6ft by 3ft long wiring... half a kilometer of cables and wires.. looking up blue brints troubleshooting these babies are what they make corrupt engineers do in hell...for an eternity.. and i do this 8-10 hours everyday.. humm so i told him the honest to god truth.. i use the reservoir dog technic... i call wires by their names... Mr Pink Mr White.. then i do have a cluedo option once in a while .. where Miss Scarlett shorted Mr Cobalt in the Transformer .......it does look like i'm a loony to any one else working around me... but me i'm content in the magical world of wires i create.............he liked that too.......
and there u had it .. he said he was discussing the contract with me.. and said all he was worried abt was my commuting between hamilton and toronto...and i said look this could be my opening to a job here in the tech side of things i'm willing to take the gamble... His eyes lit up and face cheered like he got the best blow job in his life .. he said that was sheer brilliance and very few ppl put two and two together ... and that was a spectacular amount of foresight on my part... well every thing said and done ... i headed outta andy's interview to the panel interview... which is where i had to enact a role play... then there was the product endorsements .. and then finally the french lines... ... well by the looks of it i start next Saturday...

Hey Man!
Meandering thru the miscellanous today actually.. coz am in a bit of hurry ... humm ... but none the less ... something that i noticed the other day... "Hey Man!!!" the colloquial slang... rather intriguing to look into where it came from .. and how it originated ... the black slaves were called "Ey Boy !" by their masters... no matter even when the black men turned into decript seniles ..were still referred to as 'boy!' as an act of rebellion .. blacks addressed themselves hey man!! and there lies the origins of the term...
The Silver Dollar Conspiracy... sum thing else i was reading about... "http://www.heretical.com/miscellx/usury.html" .. working my ass off all week... u expect to see something in return for all that work ...that's when i read this article... it just made so much sense...
A lot more to blog abt ... right now ... aint the time ... Happy Birthday Amma!!

Where Have All The Beautiful People Gone???
Look out at any metropolitian city bustling with ppl... This is when u have to go downtown.. the bus terminal .. the train station... the heart of the city ...where you have sea of ppl swaddling there way thru in the course of the day... go there at 5:00am... if ur headed out for shift work... this is when u are most likely to notice this phenomenon... u find none of those pretty girls who inhabit the streets in the brightest of outfits ...swaying left and right those pubescent hips in a way only young girls can... thru the streets distracting any mortal male ...They dont live here....they dont exist on the planet... those cute lil kids with water bottles and bags holding mommies hands as the cross the roads in herds ... all dressed alike like they all fell out of some giant candy jar.... they have been sucked outta the planet too... you dont see dazzling young men weilding their immaculate gadgets and brief cases and shades thru which they give those stares to those afore mentioned pretty lil things ... they dont seem to exist either... then who does live on this planet ... if it were to be visited by an alien life form at 5:00 am....well the welcoming coming committee..is a paltry bunch of old men with tired faces... running to get to their jobs to feed their loved ones... no there isnt much enthusiasm on their faces .. it isnt cheery or full of joy and grace... as are those of the other hours of the day.. these men men have faces cast in stone... and spirits that have faded and withered away... they are the ones that make the welcoming committee... no wonder those aliens keep turning back... for as they see it ...there isnt much life on the planet ... most ppl are asleep ..and the ones awake..seem to keep repeating the same things over and over again... they jump off one mode of transport to another ..and then they keep doing some mundane task till they get exhausted and return back to their domicile to sleep and the cycle continues... are u sure this is a sign of intellegent life asks one alien to the other... how different are they from the ants in our ant hill back home? ... what would those aliens know about life on earth, families in far away places, friends we cherish to be with, consuming fluids that play with our emotions...things we do to feel happy, how signals captured through wireless devices make us laugh and cry ... what would those aliens know about money and loans and debts and credits and ursuries... what would those aliens know about death and loss and pain ... what would they know .... about hose faces cast in stone ..those tired old men dragging their feet thru the wee hours of the morning... what do they know about how he makes sure the beautiful people inhabit the better part of the day...

The Canadian International AutoShow
Ah yes the CIAS ... not only is it North America's largest car expo... Larger than Detroit (humm which is where all the good shit end up going... ) 850,000 sq ft...that's quite a bit of area to cover walking to see the 42 car exhibitors... welll chk out www.autoshow.ca for details... as for me ..lemme say i needed the day off to feel good abt myself... and this surely was a great way to do it ... it was rather chilly thru the latter part of the day ..but nonetheless a terrific experience.. now what did i oggle over... hummm ... i got to sit in the new Mustangs ... the new Mercedes S, E, C Class... the smart Car... well we dont wanna take time out to talk abt all the hondas and toyotas and fords and pontiacs i sat now do we... I got my customized version of the dodge magnum commercial made... u can chk it out on
http://tdw.thindataworks.com/clients/DaimlerChrysler/evideo/videos/t1969.wmv
The cars to oggle over were the lamborginis ..they had 3 of em .. the ferraris ..they had 4 of em... they had 2 aston martins... 2 bentleys ....the classic car section was beautiful .....the bikes were great too... the ducatis..the harleys...
well as for cars to watch out for ..... lemme give u my two cents abt concept cars... looks like every designer out there goes to the same design school ...or uses the same software to design the cars ... coz goddamit.. they all look the same sans the minor differences like perhaps a logo maybe... sheesh... the lincoln aviator concept model and the lexus concept car looked like they were fraternal twins... not that they werent breath taking... but u want a lil variety ... it's like u walk into a jap restraunt expecting a kimono clad yellow female with a funny accent asking u if u want to try sushi... and u walk into a southern ranch expecting a blonde in flannels trying to coax u into getting honey garlic ribs ...
i think toyota's going to be serious competition with their FX cruiser for the Hummer H3... both of em looking pretty much the same .. the H3 is a poor man's hummer..no it's the danny de vito/joe pesci of hummers.... u wanna laugh at it ... then u think it might turn around and say something like "u think i'm funny"....
it was a good experience ... had my arse enjoy the comfort of the leather interiors of BMWs, Mercedes, Lexus, Audis, Jaguars, u name it ..my arse was loving it .. my nose couldnt stop thanking me ..each time i gorged in the new car smell ... lousy part was from ten thirty in the morning to 5 thrity in the evening as i straddled around from car to car ...i tried honking every one of those cars to find each and every one of em was disengaged... not even one that wasnt...
Like every Papillion.. has a Dustin Hoffman that out does the Steve McQueen ... my Dustin Hoffman was the CN Tower.. I get to Toronto a wee bit early.. i was expecting a huge line up for the tickets ... but i had acquired one with adequate ease ..and had loads of time to spare... so as i walk past the "Caution: Falling Ice at the Convention Centre" (sidetrack... have u thought what a freaking icicle from that height could do to u ... holy fuck... i didnt realize that until i was there...).. find a cpl of guys walking around as aim lessly as i was... they ask me are u here for the job fair... so i said yeah.... it starts a 9 so i hear.. and hey it was 8:30... i could kill some time.. and i thought there mught be some companys having their stalls setup and i walk around grab a pen or two and get the hell out there... lil did i know in the next 20 minutes there were close to 45 ppl there with resumes et al... humm ... nine comes rolling by ... i hop jump and skip in to the CN tower... and there's a questionnaire to fill out... after the elaborate screening of course... and then i see what's happening...they seem to be having a job fair for the positions at the CN tower... COOL!!! along comes a chick who gives us the ... hi there everybody ..thanks for coming to the job fair.. as a token of appreciation u get a complimentary pass to go thru the CN tower .. all day today... (now that's a sweet deal... it's like $35 something otherwise... ) so i see the questionnarie usual..facts and figures stuff.. and then i look at who they are hiring .. its for the 360 restraunt... didnt interest me... then there was a retail sales associate position... thought hey..yeah might as well... filled in my sheet... they ask me to proceed to the 360 restraunt for the interview... i mean ... WOW!! hey if u ever have a job interview... this one is the icing on the cake... on top of the CN tower.. it doesnt get better than this... so i have this guy call me over... we start our lil conversation ... and did i have this guy wrapped around me...i'm getting good at the fine art of bullshitting i must say..coz by the end of it .. the guy wasnt just impressed..but he couldnt hide it ...his poker face decimated... and i asked him off the record what were the odds... he said there were 15 positions.. 20 candidates yesterday.. but i was by far the best candidate he had interviewed...asked me to partake on some breakfast served in the lounge as my interview scores are tallied up ... and i wait hit on this cute chick sitting next to me ...nonchalantly talking to her abt the job description... [she actually wanted the job.. wasnt a con like me.]... Any way they call me in after a while... i have to go next saturday for an interview with the sales manager of the CN tower.. there's a speech and stuff i have to prepare it seems... i'm going do it just for shits and giggles...

Happy Together
"If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together"
The turtles sang that... "Adaptation" the movie ends with it playing in the credit roll... hummm .... there's a reason i mention the Nicholas Coppolla movie... for there was a time ... when i felt my life would decimate into one of those endings "Leaving Las Vegas" i pictured myself like that... alone.. washed out... a freak .. where no human soul cares... and better yet even you dont bother...
But like Sting said .... "Those days are over!!!" Today, It's the '05 version Arun u have in front of u ... it's going to be a quarter of a century on the planet very soon... have learnt from a lot of bitter realities ... Have been king of the world and scum of the universe ... have been traded in like a used car by some... fucked around like a crack whore by others ... but i have lived thru it all to tell the tales... But this year has been so freakishly different... my brain is being taken over ..i swear it ..it's like a fungus growing within and taking over the entire place...i clearly remember the 18 year old with all that anger... the 19 year old rebel without a cause... wow ... they seem like different ppl ... not that they aren't there any more .. but they dont control the place... this new guy is .. and u know what i'm beginning to like the new guy .. he doesn't push u around ... he's a 5 yr old at times... and it's all Strawberry Fields Forever..with him ... he takes a beating ...but is very Gandhian ... in the sense ..he'll cum back at u in the most ubsurd way... and take over... well enough abt the new guy ..if he's here to stay i'll introduce him later...
This is a formal thank you... to a cpl of ppl for helping me out with the week.....in ways u'd never know.... and my thank you to the new guy as well.....
in reverse order...
lemme say a big OMG!!! In the words of the Guverner of Hiroshima "WTF was that??!!!" to myself ... and a BIG 10q... to NG(Fri), ACJ(Wed), AJ(Tue), TD(Mon).... for calling me... It meant the world and more to me... you guys have no idea... what kinda days i was having... and how those cpl of minutes over the phone just brushed away all those worries and bothers and pains and pangs and stress of the day ... and u paste on that goofy smile ...and take all the shit coming at u ... just coz ..some one some where cared to remember ....lil ol' me ... and took time out for their schedules to talk to lil ol' me....... Awww..... isnt that the sweetest thing to happen ... I swear it is ............It just puts the zest back in life.. it just has given me the hope to put my trust back in ppl again ... hummm .... it's been a while ... and now that feels good... I THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ... FOR IT MEANT THE WORLD TO ME AND MORE....
I'll elaborate on the feeling more ... and lemme take off my work boots and live a lil... hummm .... if all goes well... perhaps a movie .. and the Int'l Auto Expo at Toronto ... tommorow... more to follow on the expo after i've attended it...until then ..hang on tight..
And you say you belong to me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine
So happy together"

for all u flaming fags out there who wish to empathize with Freddie Mercury... go ahead pick A.. as for the rest of us... yes "Love" does make the world fo round... love in all it's forms shapes colors and varieties... from u garden variety ...Kwik-E-Mart corner store love... to the more enduring Walmart love... to the designer boutique variety of love... in all it's merchandized forms ... love does make for the capitalist's bread and butter... as any Jewish Salesman would tell u abt love and sales... in the most Jerry Maguire-isque way possible "You Complete Me!!!" and us.. what abt us... well we ...we were had for at "Hello!"... I quote Col.Kurtz "The Horror, The Horror..."
But anyway... throwing the Cynic that i am back into the closet... it's great to be loved ..and in love ..and do stupid stuff in the name of love.... especially when u have someone special to do it for... it's just a outrageous display of how far u'd go... rather idiotic ... but the way those freaking chemicals that work in ur head make u do stupid things ... it's funny... all material goods lose their significance...if not for being and ornate expression of your deepest feelings... Yes.. Rhett Butler said it best, "Frankly my Dear I dont give a damn!!!" well maybe i do... so does Pooh.. and Hefalumps and Woozles...(good god where did that cum from)
work and lack of sleep and food .. and exhaustion.. does fucked up things to ur head... well... like all the other 24 valentine's day before this on the planet .. this one too bore no significant mark... that would make it remarkable in anyway whatsoever ...or did it???
how goes the world .... what makes the world go around ...

Abre los ojos
Yes .. another day at work completed... waking up at 4:30 in the morning ... and working your fucking arse off building PLCs the size of mountains .... I mean it's moronic ... fuck you dont use your head to do anything.. it's just being dextrous and diligent from the beginning to the end .. where the only thing that matters is 1 64th of an inch precision in mounting equipment on to boards and stuff... Well there's one thing i've learnt ...this wont be something i want to do as a living ... fuck no... factory line work is no fun .. and is the sweat and blood of these men ...that has built the west.... years and years of blood and sweat ...and then squeezing taxes out of their hard earned pay checks ... is what has made the west what it is today... I tried the Michael Douglus "lunch is for wimps" on the first day.. then i fucking learnt ....the hard way ofcourse... that keeping up requires energy... and shit loads of it... man i'd be devastated if had to do this support a family... i'd break down and die... any sane thinknig individual shouldn't engage in slave labor... no matter how big the corp... and yeah ... i'm bitching and ranting alright... but it's good .. i've learnt my lesson ... and the good thing abt it being my dexterity and my clumsy fingers get a break...

Hey Jude...
Paul McCartney kinda revived yesterday night .. it was the least he could do.. considering most of us would want to see a wardrobe malfunction on his part... Would we now????
Any way if you belive in the concept that each of our lives have a soud track ...well "Hey Jude!" just became a part of mine ... the superbowl version was grand ..and splendid... but lil did i realize the next day at work i would have a Srilankan/Tamilian collegue named "Jude" (Figure that Avi!!!) ...
Well the guy was cool ... and he showed me around the placed and is my mentor ... I had a good long 9 hour shift with him... showed the brilliance ... and utter stupidity that "the Arun" can accomplish in the span of a day...
It seems i should be able to handle it ...it's mundane ... it's boring ... after all that's why they call it WORK!!! ... Well cya later ... readers ... that's all for now ... do be considerate enough to leave a stray comment .... it would do my ego a world of good!!!

I'm on the verge of the next step...
It's been a rather eventful busy week... with the usual KPI stuff and a whole load of meandering thru the miscellanious kinda thing ... nothing major just small little things ... and that's abt it ... hummm ... what more do i have to punch in .... i had a cpl of ideas the last time i had thought abt writing something ..but it got lost in transit... Oh well ... another day another time ... i'll see what happens..
As for now just a craving to scroll down something ..but nothing substanial... so lemme get along with what ever i was doing instead of thinking of ten different things at the same time..
