Conversation with a friend - Part One

"Now a days it is even worse...", Vids typed in the chat window. "Worse?? of what??", I asked myself. "It is worse now. I mean the EXPECTATIONS", she continued. "How would you measure it?? Worse.. Ain't it perspective??" - A flash of thought ran in my mind waiting to be vented out. But my fingers took the lead and typed what was in my pseudo-mind, "Expectations of WHO??"

6:15 am: Alarm goes off - Snoozed it - I was forcing myself to get up - Had worked till 4:00 am to get my script up and running - Curse the deadlines and improper requirements gathering - uh!! - Can't the BS-BAs gather it properly?? - There goes my chain of thoughts/blame game for some! - dozed off...

6:45 am: my laptop screamed - Ah - the script failed - where in the world the debugger went? - At the back of my mind - "When did I last speak to Ruks?? 4-5 days? I need to press my trousers. Should I catch the 8:00 am express or 7:15 express? I need to pack my lunch too? Why am I over working my self? I have missed and messed the communication link between the homosapiens I love the most. I will be returning late today - Studio Production Class. Should I board the METRA from Ogilvie Station or catch a blue line~metra Combo after class?" - What is wrong here? - My thoughts are clouded - Ever since Ruks left for India, work life has been hectic. I have been over working myself - Pressure from all sides! - FIX THE BUG IN THE SCRIPT!!! - 5 minutes - it was up and running - Shower Shower shower..

"Ruks is in India NOW??", She typed. "Yeah, She is now in India.. and that is how she gave those interviews and stuff on TVs and Print medias. She is happy there for the moment.." Exchanged the messages. "Happy - Its been almost 4 days since I spoke to her - Is she Happy? Blame Game again anyone?". "For how long??" - "Four Months" - The usual conversation took place - "Give her a Surprise - Make a visit to India", But I was blinded by the phone ringer flickering - I got a call from Angel, asking me about the script update and results.

7:25am: What is the time now? Should I have to wear the new shirt I got one yesterday or press another shirt - Press the Trousers first! - I am going to wear the new shirt - hell or high water! - Script!! - Yeah it is running - no issues! uff..

7:45am: Grab the keys - get out of the house - got to buy the tickets - Wait! The Check book - Shutdown the laptop - Pack your lunch - Jacket - Its raining - Out Out Out...

7:50am:Monthly pass to Ogilvie please! - Caution the doors are opening - Next stop is Clyborn.

"so Whats missus up to?", She continued. "Interviews and singing rt now.. she was not keeping well for a week.. ", I typed back. "Any Links??" "Ahh.. the one was in Tamil magazine.." - I knew she was not fluent in Tamil - neither am I!!! - ".. And another in SS music channel.." - "OK cool! Celeb wife-eh?" - "N.. Illa Vendam.. not a celeb.." - She is just another person with special talent - Gifted Voice.
"Me speaking tamil itself is wonder. Even Kats does not know to read.. But at least he speaks better than me..", she typed. Languages forms the art of communication. WORDS convey 10 different meanings - or at least the person hearing it reads it in a different way - but ACTION conveys only 1 meaning.

Then we started talking about Kats's, her husband, home studio. "Well, I have a put in a word to Ruks regarding that - building a home studio.. and NOT RIGHT NOW came the reply"... Ruks being practical in seeing "we have other commitments!" - Wish, I could set up a small one may be a year from now?? I thought.

9:30am: Damn the script - stuck again! - Why are the parameters so variable? - Why was it not documented?? What were the BAs doing?? All BAs do BS - My status message read on Gtalk - Angel calls in and asks, "Hey Vvviiisshhhh, What is the update??" - Eddy man is seriously not happy with what is happening around - Deadline Breached?? - What must amma be doing now? Should I talk to her? I had to vent the pressure out to some one - Work is driving me crazy here - I felt as though I was passing out - water water water...

"I need to get back to the lab catch you laterz do pass a hi to the missus.." She bid adieu and logged off.

To be Continued...

Doosra??

This is my second attempt at blogging. Hence named it Doosra.. Dont know what exactly motivated me to start.. yeah thanks to my friend Karthik.. (We are not each other alibis!).. Starting this with utmost sincereity (utmost!!) to keep updating it once in a while (once-in-a-while).

AhirBhairavi - a beautiful Raagam.. I fell in love with it - Hence the name of the blog. It all started with Pibare Maanarasam -> transposed to Albela sajan (from Hum Dil de chuke Sanam) ->to a couple of devotional songs. I am not a carnatic buff here. Just in the process of the learning various forms of music. When you get a chance, listen to the song in the link. You should be able to phrase the the aarohanam and avarohanam once you form the scale of the song - Getting the glympse of various frequency of notes. Even more, I was captivated by this little young lad. It is a video link. Do watch it when you get time. He is awesome!

And Yeah Hareesh was commenting on him, "May be ten years down the lane, we would meet him in one of the aradhanais here!" - Quite possible!
