We had a short n sweet conversation and I felt her voice was sweet. I said I will be there in about 2 mins time and started rolling on my Honda Accord. While I was traveling, her voice was looping in my mind like a sweet cuckoo. I reach her apt complex but I am waiting at a different entrance. I called her up again n once again I hear that sweet voice saying "please come near the other entrance". So again I start thinking and felt that there is something special waiting for me. I almost reached the other entrance and I saw her talking to me on the phone. I felt that *This* is the moment. I stopped the car, took the car keys n cell phone with me and forgot to close the door. I went to her n raised my hand and said "HI..I'm Manjesh", she too raised her hand and said "hi..i'm vani". I almost touched her hand and suddenly I get an electric shock :O. For a moment I thought is it really the moment that I was looking for?...like the way they show in Indian movies..something gr8 happens when the hero meets the heroine for the first time.... Unfortunately that moment didn't last for long as I quickly realised that it was just a static discharge. :P<br /><br />You wudn't have read about this blog had I closed my car door. That way the static charge wud have been discharged. (thanx to my Honda Accord Coupe ;) )<br /><br />In the end i'm still waiting for *The Moment* to happen<br />Manjax<br /><br />[Looks like a modern day hindi movie isn't it? total disaster movies/endings :D ]<div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1147920013373995582006-05-17T20:22:00.000-05:002006-05-17T21:40:13.443-05:00My First Car - Honda Accord EXWhen I was doing my Engineering, I had this dream of buying a Ford Ikon. Over a period of time, my idea of buying a car transformed from a Ford Ikon to a Ford Mustang to a Mazda 3. After searching for a car for more than two months, I have finally brought a 2001 Honda Accord EX Sports/Coupe model. The moment I drove this car, I decided that this is the car I am buying. Let me start bitchin' about my car right away ;)<br /><br />Model: 2001 Honda Accord EX 2 Dr<br />Transmission: Auto ( I wanted a Manual transmission *crying* )<br />Mileage: 28(city)/34(Highway) MPG<br />Color: Black!<br />Interior: Power windows, Power Seat, In Dash 6 CD Changer/Tape Player, Sun/Moon Roof<br />Exterior: Rear Spoiler, Keyless Entry.<br /><br />I took a few pics at the Hindu Temple at Irving while performing Vehicle Blessing(Vaahana Pooja)...Enjoy<br /><br /><a href="http://i4.tinypic.com/zybj87.jpg">Image 1</a><br /><br /><a href="http://i4.tinypic.com/zybm03.jpg">Image 2</a><br /><br /><a href="http://i4.tinypic.com/zybms6.jpg">Image 3</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1147704454052179642006-05-15T09:29:00.000-05:002006-05-15T10:04:50.436-05:00Exactly one month later...<a href="http://i2.tinypic.com/ztg8rm.jpg"> Image 1 </a><br /><br /><a href="http://i1.tinypic.com/ztg7jr.jpg"> Image 2 </a><br /><br /><a href="http://i1.tinypic.com/ztg85t.jpg"> Image 3 </a><br /><br /><a href="http://i3.tinypic.com/ztg8eu.jpg"> Image 4 </a><br /><br />It took me nearly 3 weeks to get Rahul's b'day pics.<br />It took me 1 week for my laziness to subside.<br />It took me 10min to write this blog.<br />It takes a minute for you to go thru this blog.<br /><br />Gosh...can't imagine that my laziness level has gone way beyond the threshold value.<br />You guys enjoy these pics for now.

All I can say is that I miss him a lot *with_nostalgic_feeling*. Everytime he goes to Tirupati to offer his hair, he gets more n more notorious :) .

But the best part is the way she explains how she confronted that situation.

That was the time when what ever you touch would turn into gold. That was the time when every parent wanted their kids to develop some website and make big bucks. At a tender age of 18 when u see that anyone can make money by just putting up a webpage, then one will get a feeling that in life, money making is a piece of cake! I wasn't far from it either. Even I had the dream to bake the cake ;) and infact I did try to bake it. As a result, I developed my first website <a href="http://www.cseng.8m.com">http://www.cseng.8m.com</a> . It had (and still has? ) some pretty good content. This website development went on for a while and as the days passed by, the DotCom bubble got burst(pls don't click on any of those ads *lol* ). My webpages were stranded without any updates...even till-date.<br />Couple of days back when I was thinking what exactly did I learn in my Engineering, the first thing that struck me was my website. I had completely forgot about this website URL. But it didn't take long time for me 2 find it because of the naming conventions that I use.<br />After a span of 6 years I have rediscovered *My_first_website*. Did anyone of you try to do some similar *bake the cake* stuff? If yes, URL pls :D<br />Pls don't forget to comment on the UI design of *My_First_Website* ;)<div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1138901963583692032006-02-02T11:03:00.000-06:002006-02-03T00:31:57.993-06:00Welcome the latest Couple on the block!<span style="font-weight: bold;">RJ Shruthi Prakash</span> or simply <span style="font-weight: bold;">SSP </span>(<a href="http://www.worldspace.com/programming/channels/sparsha.html">Worldspace radio channel</a>) got married to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dr. Venkatesh Iyer</span> on 2nd Feb @ Bangalore. and I wished her<br />"<span style="font-style: italic;font-family:times new roman;" >Wish you a very happy married life...ondu dozen makkaLannhettu noorvarsha sukhavAgi baaLi baduki</span>"<br />Hehe...

Well, u know what I would be saying, so better not say it :D Even in this busy schedule one thing doesn't go unnoticed. Well yea, it is the fall colors. You must be aware of the starting scene of the movie "Mohabattein", those brown leaves fallin' in slow motion... that is exactly what I see everyday when I walk from my apartment to department. Just can't capture that beauty on a photograph. On one side, you feel so good that it is such a picturesque view, but on the other side, you feel so sorry that this beauty will be wiped out within no time :(. There is nothing more special than walking in a winter day, looking at the grey sky n brown leaves n dreaming about California by humming the Perfect song for the perfect setting. It is none other than "California Dreaming" by "Mamas and the Papas". This song was also used as a soundtrack in one of my alltime fav movie "Forrest Gump".<br /><br /><a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/2391252/Mamas_and_the_Papas_-_California_Dreaming.mp3.html">http://rapidshare.de/files/2391252/Mamas_and_the_Papas_-_California_Dreaming.mp3.html</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1128805213782140122005-10-08T15:57:00.000-05:002005-10-08T16:05:28.586-05:00Film Actor Ramesh on phone!!!"naanu Ramesh, USA inda"<br /><br />Yesterday nite @ 8:30PM i got a phone call from Sridhar saying that he would me meeting Film Actor Ramesh (in California) in 30min and he also asked me to see if I could try to stream it LIVE in our Kannada Kasturi 24/7 Radio station. The deal was I will set up the live feed from my laptop to our radio mainstream n Ramesh will talk to our radio listeners. I got everything setup for streaming in a very short *really short* span of time (thanx to praveen for helping me in testing it) and I even installed VOIP Buster to make a phone call from my PC so that I could stream my soundcard output to the radio. All set up n i just called up n Sridhar asked me to talk to Ramesh. For a second I was like MAAAAANNNN, i'm blank.. I went into a shock. Ramesh took the phone and<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">RAMESH</span>: HI!! naanu Ramesh USA inda<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Neo </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">a.k.a Manjesh</span>: namskara Ramesh sir, hEgideera?<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh</span>: naanu bombat<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Neo</span>: hEge naDitide nimma america concertgaLu<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh</span>: tumba chennagi naDitide<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Neo</span>: nimma hosa chalana chitra "Rama Shama Bhaama" hEge naDitide<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh</span>: Rama Shama Bhaama innu release aagilla alva<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Neo</span>: *nagutta* houdu... release aagilla gottu... naanu ee chitrada pubicity bagge keLtidde. tumba jOraagi naDitirbekalva<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh</span>: *nagutta* haa houdu houdu...

I got really angry @ VOIP Buster software. Atleast, I was happy that I almost made it possible in the short span of time, working with 10different windows on my laptop ;)<br /><br />*This was the first ever LIVE conversation in our radio station*. Now we know the pitfalls n next time, we know what to do to take care of it;)<br /><br />PS: Ramesh is currently in USA for "Kannada Manoranjani" program to be performed in many big cities in USA.

I was so perplexed that I ended up searching for it on google and came to know that it is kinda spam. Its not an ordinary spam, it somehow sneaks into your inbox bypassing all the spam blockers. What's more interesting is the message. Somewhere on the web, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Gouranga </span>was mentioned to be a sanskrit mantra meaning "<span style="font-weight: bold;">happiness</span>". <br /><br />Any thoughts/explainations?<a href="javascript:open_compose_win('popup=1&to=Neateye+%3Cnitaigouranga%40aol.com%3E&cc=&bcc=&msg=&subject=&thismailbox=INBOX');" onmouseout="window.status='';" onmouseover="window.status='Compose Message (nitaigouranga@aol.com)'; return true;"></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1127021416034232542005-09-17T23:32:00.000-05:002005-09-18T00:36:28.426-05:00iPod Nano - Sneak Peek<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2533/118/1600/iPodNano.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2533/118/400/iPodNano.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />All you music freaks must be eagerly waiting to see what<span style="font-weight: bold;"> iPod Nano</span> has to offer. I did get an oppurtunity to have a look at it in our university electronics store and here is my view on it.<br /><br />1. No doubt, iPod nano is ultra light weight, compact and looks cool.<br />2. Cost wise $250 for a 4Gig nano (and $200 for 2Gig nano) seems to be reasonable considering the improvements with respect to looks from iPod mini to iPod nano.<br />3. iPod nano comes with a color display.<br />4. Another major addition is that you can store and view photos.<br />5. Everything else is the similar to iPod mini.<br /><br />On the other hand,<br />1. iPod nano is a flash based mp3 player. One major advantage of using flash for storage would obviously be the size of it, which they have utilized it properly. However, Apple claim that nano gives 14hrs battery life which I feel was pretty less for a flash based mp3 player because of the fact that it has a color LCD screen. Hope they can improvise on that cuz battery life is very crucial for an mp3 player.<br />2. Technology wise I feel iPod doesn't want to provide built-in FM tuners and voice recoder features to keep their accessory sales going strong. Though it is a very good strategy for now, it may lose out to its competitors who provide all-in-one mp3 players for much lower price if they come up with products in size smaller like iPod nano.<br />3. I feel the height of this product should be reduced by a small amout to make it look even better.<br /><br /><br />Now what about SONY's walkman?<br />Sony will be launching their oval shaped flash based mp3 players as an answer to iPod nano sometime in november this year. Though its too early to compare these two products, I feel once again it is too late for Sony to launch their products and it is losing its customers in this fast track market :( Will it continue to happen like this or will Sony change their strategies?..only time should answer this question.<br /><br /><br />But right now, all I can say is that "<span style="font-weight: bold;">ipod Nano</span> should be a perfect gift item for your near and dear ones...go...get one n gift one"<div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1126752184046353092005-09-14T21:39:00.000-05:002005-09-14T21:43:04.053-05:00Cyborgname<a href="http://www.cyborgname.com/"><br /><img src="http://www.cyborgname.com/webimages/governor2k3-MANJESH.png" alt="Mechanical Artificial Neohuman Justified for Efficient Sabotage and Harm" border="0" height="180" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><br />nanna friend obba ondu link kaLisidda.. idralli nimma hesaranna haakiddre adanna use maaDi jhing-chakaaagi ondu acronym koDutte.<br /><br />neevU try maaDi.<br />http://www.cyborgname.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">Manjesh</div>Manjeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15539205677730422087noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903287.post-1126470871758476502005-09-11T15:30:00.000-05:002005-09-11T15:34:31.763-05:00Next Generation NamakaraNaConsidering the fact that in this generation, everything is connected via Internet, what do you think you might name your kids as? something like "Rahul" or "Pooja"??? hehe... no way, cuz they are all this generation names.
