This was a good one .Even at 50 , Dickinson still has powerful vocals.
Good set , good props , a great entertainer .
Although personally I felt the sound lacked a bit .

MachineHead and Megadeth in Bangalore on 14th March ,wish they could make it to Mumbai !

Queensryche - Silent Lucidity / K.K- O Meri Jaan

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 08:21:23 GMT

Was listening to K.K's O Meri Jaan from the movie Metro , no wonder the opening riff sounded familiar , a clear rip off of Queensryche's - Silent Lucidity
Talk about originality !!

So, who is Scott?

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 10:05:51 GMT

Bruce Scott was one of the first employees at Oracle (then Software Development Laboratories). He co-founded Gupta Technology (now known as Centura Software) in 1984 with Umang Gupta, and later became CEO and founder of PointBase, Inc.
Bruce was co-author and co-architect of Oracle V1, V2 and V3. The SCOTT schema (EMP and DEPT tables), with password TIGER, was created by him. Tiger was the name of his cat.

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 08:25:31 GMT

A street singer in Khajjiar -North India.
We told him to sing a romatic "pahadi" song , and this is the one he sang , I should have recorded the entire song :)
This was about 3 months back , I just uploaded it.

Oh yeah and I did inquire about the instrument and tried playing it too :).
Just used for basic rhythms and some tunes ,no chords possible .

And Khajjiar is beautiful :)

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/06/05.html

Most of the stuff is what we already do here in TIBCO , some are what we all know but never implement ;)

Nevertheless its a refresher.

Dance Classes

Wed, 21 Mar 2007 10:06:26 GMT

So we went and enrolled in a dance class :)
She's a natural but I just can't dance , I can headbang if that counts as a form of dancing hehe.

I was dreading it but turned out to be fun , basically they teach you enough steps so you don't make a fool of yourself in the first dance :)

4 sessions , Its on weekends , one hour non stop session per week... some basics of waltz , swing , foxtrot ...

We intend to continue going for dance classes after marriage, its a good exercise actually.

Its raining metal in India

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 11:02:21 GMT

After Roger Waters, Deep Purple, Jeremy Spencer, Jean Luc Ponty, Buddy Guy, Walter Trout, Alan Parsons Live Project, and John McLaughlin concerts in the country in the last two months, and Enslaved, Iron Maiden, and Wes Borland concerts lined up for the upcoming month, things only seem to be getting better for the Live music scene in India.

Two more bands have been rumored/confirmed.

Sepultura should be playing in Bombay and Bangalore this April, 1st and 2nd respectively. Although a changed lineup now, it's still one concert to look forward to!

Marriage Preparation Classes

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:59:08 GMT

Had gone to a Marriage Preparation Course with my better half couple of weeks back , since the church mandates it.
It was quite an ordeal so to say.
2 days - 9-6pm

Many guest speakers talked about
1) The Sacrament of Marriage
2) Sexuality, Intimacy, and Commitment
3) Communication Skills
3) Natural Family Planning.:p
4) Marriage Laws
5) Conflict Resolution
6) Experience Sharing

Well I was tuned in on and off , slept most parts, whatever parts I was awakeI found it quite interesting actually, but not interesting enough to keep me awake .:)

I did get pissed off since the Catholic church is so bloody opposed to contraceptives ??
What ticked me off was when one of the speakers said " The Church is so adamant about the no contraceptive policy that even though there are millions of people dying of AIDS in Africa , the Church still says NO.
I thought to myself "How sick is that ! and whats that to be proud of ??"

Anyways I'm just glad its over and both of us have a completion certificate :)

Nokia E62

Fri, 09 Feb 2007 17:53:52 GMT

So my company now gives me a Blackberry Handheld ... a Nokia E62 for staying connected to emails 24x7 .

I'm starting to like it actually , The fact that I can stay updated on emails with Blackberry Connect and reply almost anywhere anytime ...its great.( the full QWERTY keyboard is helpful too :))
And for a person like me who's twitching to know every minute how the latest builds are faring during the release its a blessing !

Basically for the project I'm been working on for the past year - Project Matrix , its a necessity .
With teams working on it from atleast 6 geographical locations and a dizzy amount of checkins every day , it can tame any seasoned software engineer out there to figure out " how did that damn feature break ?"
Its also necessary for people to reply almost immediately to questions posed to them , because if one chooses to reply back in normal office hours in their time zone , you're looking at an unacceptable 12 hours response time !

While some people might argue that it actually eats into their personal life , well... to each his own ... I think I prefer staying updated about work rather than wondering if that guy has replied back to my email and wondering what issues await me at work tomorrow when I check my emails in the morning .
