I dunno how to write start-up lines for this articles. So I tried googling to find what exactly LOSER means. But I could not find any "better" meaning than people occassionally use. Few of the meanings are: "A person who fails to win", "someone who loses consistently", "One who continually comes up short on a trade", "one who is unlucky".
Loser in my terms -> It is that period in life of a person, during which the productivity level keeps decreasing considerably. By "productivity level", I mean the state of not being loser. ;)
I hope this period is like Ballmer peak for most of us.
Its like my period of being a loser is on. I have been constantly failing to win anything I try my hands onto. I can go on providing a list of the events, but that will make me a real "loser" in front of all (here the term loser had other meaning). Being a loser is the worst one can ever feel. Even if family, friends, guide, others are there with you, the guilty feeling remains. At times you might feel like throwing everything that is on ur office desk, hitting walls, not hungry enough to eat, mind occupied with utter nonsense, sleepless nights, increased alcohol consumption, (u can add some more if u want).
One thing I noticed was the ratio of number of losers to non-losers is very high. Its like I only form 0.000001% of loser (calculated from Intel FPU). Its like there is a whole bunch of people. They have started a forum to identify themselves.
Out of a sudden I feel proud to be happy. I am part of a big community which even nominates "loser of the week". Its like the loser of week is a less-loser than others in the community. I too wanna be loser of the week some day. :) Be proud to be a loser than simply hiding yourself from those idiotic non-losers.
I am sure there are lots out there who do agree to what I have stated. This blog entry is dedicated to those losers who could not make it big in this competitive arena.
Annoying home page Links
One of the many annoying things I face while reading blogs is the reference links the blogger provides. For example the blogger is mentioning about Eclipse community, the blogger usually tends to provide links only to the home page of Eclipse Foundation rather than the Community or details he/she mentioning. In my view such citations are unnecessary. If at all I wanna go to the home-page of the referred detail, I can very well find it myself. I expect the blogger to provide the relevant link to what exactly is being highlighted.

Snippet: My previous post on upgrading the CPU in your PC was more controversial than I intended. Here's what I wrote:
In my opinion, quad-core CPUs are still a waste of electricity unless you're putting them in a server. Four cores on the desktop is great for bragging rights and mathematical superiority (yep, 4 > 2), but those four cores provide almost no benchmarkable improvement in the type of applications most people use. Including software development tools.
An eventful B'day
Hi,
I know its toooo late for me to write about my B'day celebrations. I actually forgot that I do have a blog and I do need to keep updating my blog. I was getting too bored in my office and suddenly realized that I need to update the blog atleast. So here I am with new article centered on my B'day bash... for those who dunno, my b'day was on 29th March.
After shifting to b'lore I go to coimbatore to meet family and friends mostly only during weekends. This year luckily my b'day too was on weekend. So I planned to spend this day with everyone there rather than staying here in b'lore and eating this sad outside hotel food daily :P
For the first time I was out of coimbatore during ma b'day. For the first time I was in train on way to cbe. For the first time I got less calls during my b'day as there was no tower in train :(
Well added to this I the train reached an hour and half late to cbe. I was really pissed off. But hey after landing to cbe it was like breathing fresh air. Everything for the b'day was planned long back.
After reaching home, I took out a chocolate box I bought for Riya. But as always mum and bhabhi wanted me not give her. So as usual I went to keep the choc in fridge. To my surprise I found my b'day cake in the fridge.... hahahaha... Bhabhi was like you-spoiled-our-surprise. :D
I did not stop there. Me and Riya took out the cake and started there itself.
That was a great start for the day :)
Mom and Bhabhi had planned spl dishes for whole day. I am real foodie. Had wonderful time eating every dish they made. Even now while writing my mouth is watering on imagining those dishes...
Evening it was decided for a family dinner. But before that my school friends called up and wanted me to treat them. Evening now was splitted into two parts. Dinner + treat.
I took all my friends for ice cream treat at bon-bon. everyone was searching for most costliest ice-cream in the parlor. (aaj bali ka bakra mein tha).
After finishing off with them I went home to get ready. Suddenly out of nowhere another set of my school friends came in my home with a Excess Chocolate cake. That was a gr8 surprise. Cake was looking very yummy and my friends were not letting cut it so easily. Bhabhi was a hidden-detective who knew this surprise was planned perfectly.
Later part of evening was spent with family. we all went out to Richfood. It was around ten and service was not on par. Finally after long wait we did eat good food and quality time :)
Birthday did not end so soon. Late night talks with my "friend" made it the best and it was a perfect end for my day.
It was the most memorable b'day I ever had.
Ciao
