The cat that came to work

10,000 miles

Fare thee well
My own true love
Farewell for a while
I’m going away
But I’ll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles

10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return

Oh don’t you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She’s weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine

Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me

Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he
got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.

From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?

To this Arthur Ashe replied:

"The world over -- 50 million children start playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,

500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach
the grand slam,

50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals,

when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'.

And today in pain I should not be asking GOD 'Why me?' "

Ta Da!

You can't blame me entirely. I accept that I was lazy, but I was also a victim of a conspiracy. First, I have been exiled to the outskirts of chennai. Two, I am wasting more than four hours daily traveling to-and-fro from work. Three, this really annoying BSNL took nearly two months to give me a broadband connection (Airtel didn't have network in my area :( ). Now that things have finally started to show signs of settling down I thought I'll resume blogging again.

After being exiled I was without Internet for almost three months. During this long solitary confinement I realized a few things.

• I had some kind of phobia when it came to browsing at Cyber Cafes. Long time ago I read in a newspaper about how a wiz-kid went about installing key loggers in cyber cafes and then stole personal information from the logs that had everything from passwords to bank account details. This story always creeps into my mind whenever I think of going to a cyber cafe.
• Without Internet(or Google, to be precise) I am the biggest idiot in the world.
• I got a brand new PC but didn't even feel like touching it.
• I am greatly inspired by movies, A.R.Rahman, Ilayaraja, Yuvan Shankar Raja and of course, Google. Not being able to keep track of what was happening to them made my brain completely inane.

So how did I manage to stay alive?

I was somehow managing with the GPRS on my Nokia 6020.. chatting, checking mails, reading blogs (yup, I was reading your blogs) and even sent some money through paypal!. Man! I still can't believe I did all those things with a Nokia 6020. Long live Opera Mini,  Reporo and flurry.

I am gonna commit suicide

Yup! You heard it right.. man these power cuts are driving me crazy . Innovative ideas are welcome.

Must see!!
