barbi bharadwaj barath about [VIEW FULL POST]

Barbi is a chennaite, now working in Bangalore in a big software company. He did his schooling in SSRV (sri sitaram vidyalaya, west mambalam, chennai). He enjoyed a lot during schooling, which made him lose a few marks and it ultimately cost a seat in BITS pilani. He ended up in CIT (Coimbatore Institute of Technology)a dote-1 college in coimbatore. He did enjoy his college to a great extent and got his distinction fucked up. He hates his college, but loves his friends over there. Ah, one more, his major in college was EEE. He was never found in class, and had friends from other departments and in the hostel.

He managed a couple of jobs in his campus, despite his poor show in the college mark sheet. He landed up in Bangalore and is very passionate about software design and coding. He loves learning new technologies and thinks over ideas in the languages he learned to design applications. He is working in a BIG software services company. (prefer not to mention the name, but it is bigger than 99% of the software companies in the world)

He is a sun certified java programmer (SCJP) and java is his primary skill. He is also certified by IBM AIX (it is an operating system, very similar to unix). He is also a OCP (Oracle Certified Professional). I use windows and one other operating system at workplace (prefer not to mention), and i use mozilla firefox. In my opinion, internet explorer sucks. This blog certainly does not reflect much of him, or any of his technical capabilities.

My hobbies include surfing the net, reading books, playing snooker and music. In books, i read a good number of technical books at a time. Apart from techies, i also take some fiction and i prefer adventure, crime and detective novels. In music, i am very vast in genre. I can listen three hours of carnatic classical music concert as well as stand three hours of heavy metal and hard rock. I am that hard a snooker fanatic, that i have turned tired playing snooker. I remember playing eight hours at a stretch, many times.

As of my name, at home - i am called "barath". The actual full name is bharadwaj. Most of my friends and even me, prefer calling me "barbi".

I watch only a few movies, when i get time. It is the same case with television. Whenever i watch television, it must be football on the screen. I am a fan of MAN U, liverpool, real and sevilla. My football icon is steven GERRARD. You must watch this video to know this powerhouse.

I am single and i am just thinking of starting to look for a girl friend.

If you need to contact me, just to say hi or ask some technical help (i love tweaking blogger templates) or any thing else, drop a email - barbi.bruce@gmail.com

Cheers,
barbi

SHAH RUKH KAHN vs SHAWN MICHEALS [VIEW FULL POST]

The “WEEK” furnished an article on bollywood a couple of years ago. It was abasing the very survival of the bollywood stating – Bollywood thrives on the two ‘S’. An easy guess for the two s. SHAH RUKH KHAN and obviously the second s – S*X. Its so transparent (I mean the fact) in all costumes that bollywood does play S*X as a trump card. No debates on the first one, for he is called “KING SHAH RUKH”. Worthy of him, you can watch all his movies.
Even in kollywood (they play golli only in tamil nadu..) , an actor is called “THALA”. Wat a man he is. On a retrospection of this young “ULTIMATE STAR” he was an upcoming artist. He looked fine and his initial movies were good, but then he really turned his tables. “RED” is one of his ultimate movies. Many more followed that. And even now his fans believe his reveille is on the cards. He has got such a battery of fans that on Sundays one in every three messages on sun music says “thala is the best!”. I don know why I made this dumbo thought a let go in my mind. A relative case study of Thala and the king. Both of them are fair, have atleast a seven minutes of the movie with tears in their eyes. The duo even stared in the movie “ASHOKA”. Both of them are shown in close up shots more than others. Oh enough of this dumbo comparison, I m not able to put down “my KING”. This nifty bollywood star is obviously the most paid actor in India!!
Now lets fizz on to the title. Shah rukh and Shawn Micheals or rather heart break kid (HBK) as he is popularly known as. They don have any tin in common, do they?
Well not jus shawn micheals , but all WWE (world wrestling Federation oops. entretainment) stars for that matter are also good actors. Add to that they do it in front of the audience and also in front of the camera. All this action besides being watched by thousands of fans live is being telecast all over the world and watched by millions on television. There is even a game by name SMACKDOWN and people are crazy about it too.

And i don forget to mention the trump cards. i can still remember the rankings
1. Hulk Hogan
2. Bret Hart Hit man
3. Undertaker
4. Mr. Perfect
5. Shawn Micheals
6. Macho man Randy Sawage

Q: Do u watch WWE?
A: Ya I do. I have been watching this from my fourth std I guess. I have completed my sixteenth std. (B.E.)and still I do justice when I get time. And now being in the morning shift I return well on time for raw and smackdown.

Q: Don’t you know they are all jus acting?
A: Obviously yes, they do act. But its still worth watching as an entertainment. Add to these a lot of babes on WWE. I don wanna miss the show.

Q: Do they really land hard punches on the oppenent’s face or is it all a drama?
A: A toughie. They do really hit hard on the oppentents (read sometimes even with chairs, hammers and other heavy objects) many a times I have witnessed faces covered with blood. I have seen Shawn (HBK) fall on vince from a high ladder with mighty force and collapse the latter sleeping on a table. But to all this cooperation is necessary from the opponent. That is to say the opponent fits in to a extremely comfortable position to play his winning move on him. For instance when RAKISHI flings his opponent on the corner, he sits and almost invites RAKISHI to swipe his AS* on his face. So its difficult to answer the question. They do land hard punches but still its all a drama. So its mootable.


Q: why the change in name from wwf to wwe?
A: Don know, but perhaps a sensible man understood it all to be a drama and filed a law suit. Doesn matter big! Wwe still rocks the same.

Q: women and wwe…
A: Addressing this in two issues, there are a lot of se*y babes on wwe, almost all of them wrestle on stage. This is a major crowd puller to wwe arena. But in terms of gals watching wwe, there are only a few. I never understood why gals stay off from star sports, espn and ten sports. For me without these watching TV is like fighting with only my left hand. Most gals watch only cricket. (read only when India plays) and all they know is that all above average looking cricketers are good (read dravid,yuvraj and sluggish agarkar). A few don’t even know if Shaun Pollock is a pace bowler or a spinner.

Q: You mean to say u watch wwe only for babes?
A: NO. if I wanted jus babes, f tv is not far away. Really wwe is a good entertainment. Its great to watch two great stars like rock and stone cold Steve Austin wrestle it out. Currently the fight between Dx and McMohans is awesome to watch.

Q: How many hours do u watch wwe in a week?
A: only RAW and SMACKDOWN are entertaining. The other shows heat , velocity are too boring. One more version ECW also $_cks.

Q: How about the undertaker?
A: One of the most widespread rumours is that he is a dead man and its his spirit that fights. Too much exaggeration was also given by a man with a jar in his hand and claiming to tame his spirit in the jar.

Q: And now the ultimate one! Whose the bigger actor? Shah rukh or shawn micheals?A: it’s a toughie again. Shah rukh khan jus acts in front of camera. If he makes a mistake he can always move off, take a cigar(marlbaro) and get back, reshoot the scene again. But shawn is more of a stage performer and a more dynamic actor. And many stars on wwe synchronise their jumps to the fireworks planted behind. Thats creditable. Still The KING RULES..

BREAK ( THE SKIP HABIT ) FAST.. [VIEW FULL POST]

A post after a long time. And the first since I joined the BIG BLUE.. . A big dream come true. Even I m a software engineer. Oh! Just another softie (not the cone, it’s the lingo to call softies so here) in Bangalore.

There are a lot of accolades a softie enjoys. A big pay, numerous credit card offers (;-)), Unlimited coffee, a lot of babes as colleagues, and finally the big thing – a trump card in a matrimonial page. Say a software engineer pocketing 30,000 a month and you can get have the planets positioned in your desired boxes in the “jyathagam”. I don’t know why, but every time I login to yahoo I see an ad from shaadi.com. Now put aside all these and you can easily also wring out a good number of happy moments missing. A date on a weekday evening at five. Oh come on you are kidding... It’s not probable. Missing the traffic in bang lore on the way to office. NEVER possible. Having breakfast. Never happens. And you work for hectic and strenuous five days that you just long for rest during the weekend. (read also a good lunch)

Now read again the last few lines of the above paragraph and you ll notice I had just put “never happens” for breakfast. Ya it never happens. Most people wake up late and take lunch directly. More severity in case of people working in the afternoon shifts. Thank God! I m in the morning shift and my day starts at 5.45 in the morning. Now why don’t people have breakfast properly? What’s the complaint? YOU can guess it right and the answer is “I don have time buddy” and compliment it with “nothing ll happen”. All people with the second excuse – here is the word. Some thing does happen. Ur health ll get to bad shape. Promised!!!

As the word breakfast is coined, it’s pretty normal to say you are taking food after a long time. Say ten to twelve hours on an average. But this time interval widens in case you skip breakfast. Not much of a problem when you are asleep. But once you are awake, you can start sensing acids in ur stomach. YOU directly take lunch.

All in a nutshell – people skipping breakfast are inviting ULCER.

One another worst thing about skipping the breakfast is that you are dull in the morning since you lack the energy to think and code but you end up just sitting in front of the comp doing noting productive.(read open e-mail, orkut and messenger). And this unproductive time awaits the bell ring for lunch. (read orkut and messenger continued…). The biggest hurdle is this. After a dull and unproductive morning (read also empty stomach) you take a heavy lunch (read unlimited meals) and now the post trauma continues... its takes an hour or more to raise ur energy and spirit levels to work and code. (read after lunch - one more hour orkut and messenger). And when ur spirit levels are high enough you find its just an hour away from close time. A whole day (just another) day wasted in the office.

Heh I know you ll not believe my words. Here’s a great guide from bbcworld.com dats gives you more about breakfast.

During school we properly had our breakfast, and having come to the so called teen age, we start skimping breakfast ad finally end up skipping breakfast. Notin happens to us even if we don take breakfast. True? Yes and no. when we are in out teens we are in the acme of ur health. Ever heard of a child falling sick (read act fever and take leave to school) often? Yes, so many. Ever heard of an old man complaining of ill health? Yes a higher percentage than young people. Now the big question. Have you ever seen a teen fall sick often? A BIG NO. Why? This is because we are in our acme of our health. Noting happens now. But it all happens a few years later. Now our body persists the empty stomach and suffers ten years down the line.

After all it’s more of a bad habit. In contrast the breakfast is the lightest and the heaviest meal of the day. Lightest in terms of quantity and heaviest in terms of priority and importance. I haven’t seen any body take breakfast more than ten min. its just another bad habit. How nice does it sound to get up ten minutes earlier everyday to take breakfast and lead a healthy life?

Go break the habit today!!!!
