Why Me???

X on my machine just did not start today… Saturday it worked fine today morning Veena started the machine in windows and when I rebooted and did a StartX It just did not start.

Somebody please help.. .. If no one can.. then I go back to using Windoze.. and all geeks reading this will be held responsible.

NO! I did not do anything to the config files.. All I did on Saturday was install Yahoo messanger – link to the RPM given by Atul

Here are the last few lines of the error message:

Just a little life update.

Aasim has fever today… the heat is just too much

Tarique got a haircut today – his head now looks like a neatly mowed lawn

New business from old client for the financial year starting 1st April

Painting will be over tomorrow – implying Sunday is going to be busy for me… lot of cleaning up.. and this is just the first phase of painting -the second phase starts next month after chiya’s wedding

Reminiscing the summer we got married.

Hectic day!!!

Tarique unwell, all the mess the painters make has to be cleaned up in the evening and the office work cant be ignored – so i end up with no time to cook..

Friends at bangalore call 92 F hot.. In Nagpur summers are just begining and its already 106 F – the month of may touches 118 F you can actually fry an egg on the pavement

The year we got married – 1994- was specifically bad.. it was 11th of May – got married at 11:45 AM in the court.. from there to home for Lunch and I came to this household at 2 PM.. no wonder our marriage still holds the heat …. He He He..

After we got married, Tarique use to come back post lunch.. .bunking his office at the Govt. medical College.. we just couldnt stay away form each other. Abbaji would get pretty ragged.

Woh bhi kya din the!!! This 11th of May it will be eight years to our marriage!

Alright! I am down to 56.8 kgs

OK. Yesterday i felt it was darkness all around, today i see the bright rays of sun in the horizon.

To begin with my day started with an accomplishment – my weight barrier of 57 has been broken. I now weigh 56.800 kgs 🙂

On the work front, I felt cheated yesterday after Neha left us for another job -she was with us for two months during which we trained her in PHP… .. Today I went and met at the NIIT folks who had referred her and they say it wasn’t her descision to leave SANIsoft, it was sombody else who decieded for her.. IAC, i dont want people who cant take their own descisons working for SANIsoft.

Another good news is that we can now keep trainees from NIIT SANIsoft will act as mentors for students who want to be professional PHP programmers – Mentors are required under the GNIIT program of NIIT.

Aptech too showed interest in sending us their students.. so things are not so bad afterall..

House being painted.. my allergies are bad.. taking precautionary medicines that make me drowsy..

Mom is going to Delhi and may not return before we leave for Vizag.. bad….

Of feeling young and romantic

Two more orphaned squirrel babies reared and released in wild. I miss them but such are the ways of life. Be it wild animals or your own children – you have to let them go when they grow up.

On the work front the week has been very very frustrating – the client I am working insists on being the webmaster of his own site and doesn’t even know how to unzip a zip file… … the less said about him the better… …

All in al Nice day – woke up late and tried not to let the work frustrations interfere with the holi mood today and succeeded.

Tarique humming… “chand si mahbooba ho meri kab aisa maine socha tha.. ..”

Leisure, my favourite poem

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep and cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
