Of Forbidden Cities and Dimsum

Oh .. so sweet. .. I was away for a bit and all are asking where I disappeared off to ?

I got new job .. yes .. New one .. nice new shiny one..

Center for Knowledge Societies. I will paste here one mail that I wrote some people about the place because I am again using company resources and to tell the story , it will take more time.

Mail:
It so happened this morning that I was informed that all these days I did not , in fact , know the name of my company. The new one. CKS. Center for Knowledge Studies I went about proclaiming. It is , in fact , the Center for Knowledge SOCIETIES.

I think this is rather vexing , considering I am ,of course, in Bizzzzz Dev -- as my boss so fondly likes to call it. I have been developing businesses for my company for the last ten days under this strange impression.

I cannot reveal much else. As I have signed an NDA. This is no means must suggest that I have no idea what this company is doing or what my role is here.

This explains a lot ? Fini ?

Also I have been talking to Chinese people on the phone a lot. I can't tell anyone about what ... but I have been. For many hours a day. On work .. of course.. which is why it is hyper top secret.

They are very sweet but everything needs to be spelt out.. D for dog , I for intelligence , G for giraffe (like Japan ) , no .. no .. like .. ummm .. God ? aaahhh yes..

ok.. now I have to get back to it.. work that is.

Karuna : thank you for missing me soooo much .. teehee...

Have a good one , y'all ..

Dee out.

Evolution: Redefined


She redefined it , the whole concept. Of evolution that is . My good friend Shwetha , she did.

Let me recount parts of the conversation ... so this will pass of as a blog post and Lady Beryl cant accuse me of being plagued by evil demons of Blog Inertia. Scum those are...

Where we left off .. Conversation snippets .. ah yes .. at Koshy's. Between Lady Beryl, Shwetha Bhaskar and meself.

Me: So this colleague of mine has Pirhanas , right .. and he has a dog , and he feeds his dog soya and his fish mutton ... ( satirical smile .. )

(laughter from Lady Beryl , methinks yay .. art student has understood the irony of this situation.. decendants of vicious carnivores eating soya ..)

Contemplative expression on Ms. Bhaskar's face .

Bhaskar: You know .. I'm thinking .. do you think a dog knows that it's eating mutton . I mean how can a dog eat a goat .. isn't a goat bigger than a dog. I mean.. you think dogs know they're eating beef. How can something eat something else that is bigger... Thats like cockroaches eating human beings.

Me:.... (Lets just say satirical smile disappeared to be replaced by most stupified expression).

I mean how can one argue with logic like that. What in the world was God thinking .. Dogs eating 'beef' indeed.

Lets just leave it at that shall we.. I dont see the need to dignify this post with anymore .. i cant take it ... it vexes me .. terribly vexed.

Anyway

Theres this Pearl Jam song I like.. Its called wish list .. Thank you Pulitzer for that introduction.
Now everytime I send Pulitzer a text message , it says I wish I ... yada yada ...

I wish I was the Rain Goddess so I could control the rain
i wish this cuz the rain takes away all my pain ...

(to be sung in the same way.. sound as morose as you can in your head )

Yes ..that sucked .. which is why Eddie Vedder's analogies got him millions of dollars and I am sitting exhausting my company's resources posting this blog.

Tut .. Is all I have to say . Tut.
P.S also I hope you guys got the corelation between cartoon and blog post. Crocodiles eating Zebras ! Egads .. what will those idiots come up with next.
