Could any of this be true?

Now this was sent to me by a family member. We all know that Dr. Subramanian Swamy is a rabble rouser and self promoter. Even then, he has enough in his article on Sonia Gandhi that could be true and then it is really scary prospects for our beloved homeland. It is hard to believe that he could have imagined or made-up all this stuff.

BTW I do not support any party. I prefer to be independent to make up my mind at the time of voting to see who I feel is the best candidate for the job in question.

What! It is the middle of May already!

I was typing 'middle of May' and saw myself typing 'tiddle of May'. For some reason, I felt I had seen that word somewhere before. I ran a spell-check, I saw tiddler, but no tiddle. How can be a tiddler when one can't tiddle?

These are the deep mysteries of life that keep me up all night worrying.

By the way, one should check out the history of AID (link) the charity I am running for. It is funny how they came up with the name and very heartwarming how the idea was born.

Life is not a bed of roses anymore. It was for a short while when I thought everything was working out for me. I had 2 loving dogs, a fiancee, a rented room in the house, my career was to be going in the right direction. Now I am just waiting for the next shoe to drop! One dog died, then my fiancee wants to think about things. I do still have my job and it is going okay, and I still have a renter. My one remaining dog still loves me. Dilli abhi dooor hai!

It was during this time that I decided to take on something that would make me forget -- how about running a marathon! Yaay!!! I will be so tired that all my troubles will be forgotten. " Not so fast" said God. Now I am tired AND miserable! Anyway it is for a good cause - AID (Association for India's Development) - a charity that works at the grass roots level in India.

As of yesterday, I have completed 3 runs now of 1.5 miles, 3 miles, 1.5 miles respectively. I will try to make it to the CCRC (Georgetown Running Club) group run tomorrow. They do 4-5 miles. In a group it becomes so much easier - mild competition/group mentality/support whatever you want to call it.

"May" I put down random thoughts

Bye April!

Virtual servers, virtual machines!!
What next? Virtual me!!
Where does this virtual life end and reality start!

I am getting tired of this productivity boost by making things virtual. It seems like one is working, but maybe I am not working at all. Everything is about saving resources/money/energy/....

I would like to go back to sleep. I have to go home and clean-up too! But I don't know when I will get home today. Too much work. This is being written while waiting for an installation to run. "Why?" you say. Just being productive! I got to produce or miss a paycheck.

Maybe I can do that and then apply for a bailout.

I should have bought a million dollar house while I could 'afford' it with my verbal paycheck of several thousand per day. "Oh, I did not realize the amount I stated was supposed to be in dollars!" Then I could have applied for a bail-out and been sitting pretty.
