Flirting and Dating mini-HOW-TO

Seeing the predicament of some of the younger geeks (boys all of them) at Bangalore I had joked that I will write a HOW-TO for them on flirting and dating, after coming back some events also made me consider the point seriously BUT when I got down to it and cut away all the fluff about how looks don’t really matter and how to be charming and which kind of girl etc etc it all boils down to a few simple lines

Will she go out with me – ASK
Will she like me – ASK
Is she already going around – ASK
Will she let me kiss (or fill in the blank with your preferred activity) – ASK

Don’t get stuck in the “what if …. …. ?” fill in the blank with your favorite dilemma

There is no fool like the one who never asked.

Lastly – Rejection from one does not mean rejection from all even if you *right now* feel she was *the* one

May be the ladies around will have some more things add to this but in my experience this should suffice in 99% of the cases

LB2002 Pictures

Have put up the pictures I took at Bangalore here . Not many of them and none of them are too great either, basically due to the fact that most digital cameras come with flash which is too weak to take pictures in a hall and mine is 2 years old now!!! Still those pictures

Saturday evening went to my Aunt’s place and found myself examining a couple of kids. As I was washing my hands I again realized how much I miss being a doctor BUT had to firmly remind myself that I have put that behind and I don’t go back to things I have put behind… …

Back from LB/2002

Returned yesterday from Bangalore after attending the LB/2002. Since the event already is all over newspapers and news sites both national and international I will not write much about the event itself, Apologies for not using LJ cut but I guess more people would want to read this post than not. We stayed with ,

When the full-length, poetic name of Bangkok, capital of Thailand, is used, it is usually abbreviated to “Krung Thep”(City of Angels). The full-length version is the longest place name of any town or city in the world (167 letters)

Was thinking about the project in Bangkok. At the outset the project itself went off OK but could have been better. The most important lesson learned was never go to for on site implementation of a project specially if the specifications and scope has not been made very clear from the beginning and you are

Yesterday finally landed back in Nagpur. No place like home 🙂 But there is too much to be done here…. …. Monday we leave again to attend Linux Banglore 2002 with sponsors like HP, IBM and today Ministry of Communications and Information Technology it promises to be a great show. Hmmm… better polish up that

Mystery of the Siamese unshakeable breasts!!

Have finally cracked the mystery of the near perfect and firm looking breasts in most of the ladies here. The revelation dawned upon me when I tried shopping for lingerie for Swati. most of the women here prefer bras which have 1/3 hemisphere cups made of some material with consistency between rubber foam and styrofoam

Damn the B*******- Embassies are set up in foreign countries so that citizens traveling to that particular country can be helped. BUT my experience with the Indian Embassy here in Bangkok Thailand was exactly the opposite. The place is full of typical govt Babus replete with red tape wrapped around in 100M bundles !!! In
