Must have been a cloud burst, the roads in Pune flood in minutes!….Atlest my bike got the wash it so deserved, and Real Steal is a good movie, go for it, but make sure you’re not in Pune and it doesn’t fucking rain!

What happens when you click on a Hyperlink?
Brain sends signals to your muscles to move the mouse on link and click on Mouse, your eyes help in that movement and tell brain to click at right place.

Prayer (revised)
An alternate version of the prayer post by Gautam Naroji :
Original : http://raags.tumblr.com/post/9035561063/prayer
Our Vaadka, Which arth in the drink, Hallowed be thy taste. Thy will be flamed, on cocktails as it is neat. Get us high this day, Forgive us our stress, As we forgive those who do not drink. Lead us to a drunken stupor, But deliver us from hang overs. For thine is...
Prayer
Our Pasta, Which art on the plate, Hallowed be thy meatballs or vegetarian alternative. Thy will be eaten, (It will be good), At home as it is in the restaurant. Give us this day our choice of bread, Forgive us our whining, As we forgive those who whine against us. Lead us not to dogmatic traditions, But deliver us from heartburn, ulcers, & gas. For thine is the Noodle, the Sauce, and the...

Lazy sysadmin is the best sysadmin →
If you see a sysadmin who is always running around, and trying to put down fire, and constantly dealing with production issues, you might think he is working very hard, and really doing his job. But in reality he is not really doing his job….

No man is an island
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Motherland is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own Or of thine friend’s were.
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls...
The Power of the Sleep Cycle →
Studies show that the length of sleep is not what causes us to be refreshed upon waking. The key factor is the number of complete sleep cycles we enjoy. Each sleep cycle contains five distinct phases, which exhibit different brain- wave patterns. For our purposes, it suffices to say that one sleep cycle lasts an average of 90 minutes: 65 minutes of normal, or non-REM (rapid eye movement),...
