Some tests and name decoders
I took a lotta tests and name decoders with the name - RAVI. Well, here are the results.
The Monster Me
The Sexy Me ;-)!
What I am - Compatibility Test
I'm an irredeemably eejitous, liberal, not-too-generous, not-too-selfish, pathetically simple-minded, dribbling child!
See how compatible you are with me!

Survivor of the Impending Nuclear Apocalypse
Which Survivor of the Impending Nuclear Apocalypse Are You?
A Rum and Monkey joint.
Dust off your flugelhorn and heat up the sausages, 'cause you're
The Swiss!
Decked in neutrality for almost a billion years now, the Swiss are always the favourites to survive any nuclear conflict. Not only do they have the most amazing dress sense, but they've also got keen technical knowhow, a very logical cultural heritage and seventeen extra feet which they keep in their heads.
The Swiss are stereotypically associated with cuckoo clocks, chocolate, fondue and yodelling; it should be pointed out that they also enjoy running through the hills, goat farming and keeping the Earth safe from alien scum.
How Dumb Am I?
How Dumb Are You?
A Rum and Monkey stupidity.
Comments: You, my friend, are thick as pigshit.
Don't let it bother you. Some people have become extremely successful, while remaining the intellectual inferior of a lobotomised schnauzer (see it yap backwards!). Politicians, Hollywood movie stars, truckers and obese men driving white vans have all "made it" with your gargantuan stupidity. So don't fret: there is hope.
We advise you grow a giant moustache and go live in the country with your four dogs. There you will be allowed to shoot tin cans and shout "hooooeeeee" at nothing in peace.
Collosal Death Robot test
Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?
Brought to you by Rum and Monkey
Comments: Holy Prime Directive, you're Robocop!
Well, you're neither colossal, nor technically a robot, but your arthritic lurching and dubious morals have found their way into the hearts of futuristic rebels and children everywhere. You walk through fire, catch bullets from the air, and you never, ever smile. Combine this with an abstract, almost random concept of duty and honour, and you have a police officer one cannot fail to adore.
Thank you, Robocop.
Which Evil criminal am I?
Which Evil Criminal are You?
A Rum and Monkey crime.
Comments: Congratulations, you're Charles Manson!
Mad as a hatter and friend of Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, you believe that the Beatles song Helter Skelter is indicative of a coming race war, where the "blackies" will win. You also consider yourself a talented folksinger.
You have amassed a group of female followers known as The Family, who perform killings for you and look upon you as if you were Jesus Christ. You have sex with each and every one of them, and encourage them to have sex with each other, but they're most famous for killing pregnant actress Sharon Tate.
I wanted to mention a major writing change from now on, I want to try and write some cynical stuff, just to check it out. I have been quite ze happy happy guy, so rarely have I tried any cynical writing! If you are wondering what the hell inspired me to write it, well, it's simple - Scott Adams and "The Way of the Weasel". I was simply floored by the writing of his. I really loved it! So, gonna try some cynical, humorous writing from my next blog onwards!!

What my Birthdate means
| Your Birthdate: May 22 |
 You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way. People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little. Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know. Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid Your power color: Silver Your power symbol: Square Your power month: April |
Well, that is what my birthdate means!! And here are my comments on them!!
1. You tend to be understated and under appreciated: Hmmm... Really? I don't completely concur with it! I am usually pretty much appreciated for whatever I do.
2. You have a hidden force to do amazing things, doing them your own way: Well, kinda true. Sometimes, I myself am amazed at how well I can perform. It happens automatically. Rarely do I try to do them - Rarely did I try hard at academics, rarely did I try hard to sing well, rarely did I try hard to play TT. :D! Well, the third case is showing, as today I had one of the bad form days! But I guess I will attribute that to the waking up @ 3am and waiting till 11:45 am @ Chinnaswamy stadium to grab the tickets of India vs. South Africa this Saturday - Nov the 19th!! yippeeee... :)!
3. People may see you as strange and shy, but they know little: Maybe, I have heard that sometimes people think that i am weird! It mite qualify as strange hehe! But shy? NO WAY! I think I am quite the overt and the gregarious guy!
4. Your unconventional ways have more power than they (and even you) know: Already talked abt it!!
5. Your strength: Standing up for what you know is true: Yupppie! Thatz true alrite. Sometimes I even fight and lose my cool to prove the point, which is not necessarily a good thing. However, after coming to Bangalore, I have NOT lost my cool AT ALL [Kudos to me]! After the "Sindhoor" incident, I guess I have NOT lost my cool at all!
6. Your weakness: You tend to be picky and rigid: Agreed completely:D!
7. Your power color: Silver: NO COMMENTS except yea I love silver!!
8. Your power symbol: Square - Hmmm, I do draw a lotta squares... but wonder what that means... any shrink out there?
9. Your power month: April - Ze fools month? Well, gotta retrospect a bit more deeply to comment more on this!!
Life is kinda cool otherwise. Work is going gr8! Friends are doing gr8!
NOTE TO SELF: Write a few lines on all my bumchums! I have nothing much to do at home anyway. Mite as well spend it on some creative writing :)! ;)! Hehehe!

Blackqua theme!
Whoa, awesome, yeah I know. I was toying around with some Winamp skins and I came across this sorta spyish thingy color. The best part is the aqua [modified] on black. It just looks sexy! I am trying to make such a theme for my mob as well. So, welcome to the new look of Ramblings of an Eccentric Soul...
The best part??? Well, it's just about half an hour's work =)! As usual, please come, post ur comments!!

I had been to Infy Mysore, and God, what an awesome campus those guys have! It's simply superb. It's like this dream campus, with a Multiplex, plethora of good looking females ;-)!, A MUSIC ROOM [:o OMG], two huge food courts and so much more. It was just superb. Sid, Gautam and Anoop are having a blast there, and I just got to know y'day from Sid that he's into J2EE and Gautam and Anoop are into Open Systems [which I am guessing would be the Unix platform].
Other than that, planning to leave Bangalore and head back to TVM for the Diwali. Will be leavin Bangalore on the evening o 28th and reaching TVM on or before the Diwali day, which from the last information I received is on ze 1st! I miss TVM and home and home food! Not to mention my darl sissy - Ro, Ma, Appa. Hehe, it's gonna be FUNN FUNN FUNN!! Hehehehe! Will post a blog and upload some snaps in the 256kbps connection back home. Now, that will be fun, and also will see my comp, my lovely darling of a comp after 3and a half months. My darling graphics card not being used to its fullest..... Hmmm, maybe I'll smuggle it to Bangalore and use it in some comp I get here! Bwahahahah!
Well, that's all folks, I will post some snaps now that I just uploaded!

Crazy
I couldn't sleep tonight, for no apparent reason and woke up at 12:30, after going to sleep at 12. Then I tossed and turned in bed until about 2:30am and then thought that I had to expend my energy into something and well this is what turned out! :D! Hope ya enjoy it! I know there are lots of jagged edges, which may/not be corrected in the future :)!
Read on...
His mind opened to a hazy, yet clear image that clawed him during sleep. He awoke, eyes yet unopened to a realm he rarely explored prior to now. A half drugged trance where specters were real, his senses heightened, where looks of the almost palpable people were prickling. So real was it.
He knew it was the wee hours of morning. However, he never bothered to check the time fearing that he may have to indeed wake up to that harsh reality of time and well, just wake up.
His mind’s eye was now fully awake, the hazy images slowly reaching solid clarity. He was struck by how real it felt, and at times he realized, it was more surreal. He never viewed himself from a 3rd person’s perspective during any of his few encounters, and this time was no exception. A first person view of the surreal world was thrown open to him.
Slowly, it began to sink in. She was there and he was trying to get across something to her. An unreal as he knew it was, he wished it were real. He wanted to hold on to this thought so badly that he started waking up. He realized, to his horror that her image was fast fading.
He struggled to keep it focused, waging a war he knew he would lose later into the morning, but striving hard to win this battle. He did not want to wake up. In a few seconds, he knew he had won this battle. The image fought between sleep and dreams was crisp again.
He was once again asking to his mind millions of unanswered questions that he had asked once earlier. Will she? Should I? Will she not? Why should she? Why would she? How? When? A further stream of permutations of an exponential scale exploded and pervaded into various threads of thoughts.
He found himself to be at a total loss to any of these questions – again. But, he was now mesmerized by the crystal clear image now almost etched into the parts of his mind. He was finally asking her. Asking her it she’ll indeed give him the chance he’s been wanting ever since he set his eyes on her. Ever since he noticed that she was the only thing that made him catch his breath. The only person whose mere presence made him stutter and shake inside, whose whiff transcended him to a state of exultation and well made him weak and clumsy, his insides churn as if everything he ever ate was there turning round and round. Him – the epitome of jubilation and joy turned into a lost soul with wanderlust.
Yes, he was finally her that. Yes, his hopes were finally yielding. She was ethereal to him now, her appearance seemed a bit pale now. He wondered if he was shocking her, surprising her or bringing elation?
But, wait, no it cannot be. No, not now, not now… This cannot be the time that he had to check the time. He wanted that moment to elongate, or the very least persist in his heightened state of drugged ness. No, he cannot wake up now.

Quotable Quotes
Quotes are something we all tend to use! Why? For one, how about this, I find that something creative, especially a humorous quote/meaningful/touching statement, MUST be repeated [A harsh word against "Golden words are said once, BS]. Beauty needs to be appreciated, yeah I have already written about it.
So, well here are some of my favorite ones - they are NOT categorized as depending on the context, I use one or more of them, and well some including in my signatures :)! I DO NOT remember most of the original authors. The ones who came up with these, well, my salutations to you. I have modified more than one of them to my liking, but still you get the credits - dudes and dudettes.
- "There's no point to any of this. It's all just a... a random lottery of meaningless tragedy and a series of near escapes. So I take pleasure in the details. You know... children laughing, those are good, the sky about ten minutes before it starts to rain, the moment where your laughter becomes a cackle... and I sit back and I smoke my King's filter and I ride my own melt." - Adapted after editing from "Reality Bites"
- "True. When your hammer is C++, everything begins to look like a thumb." - Steve Haflich, in comp.lang.c++
- "If I think not, am I not? I think not, don't you think?" - Moi
- "To do what to do is to do that to do to do" - Moi
- "Getting enough sleep helps you do your best in whatever you do" - Garfield
- "99% of all computer problems are solved by restarting, the remaining 1% by switching if off" - Dunno

Somehow, something happened....
I am wondering how I am able to blog right now, as my site was blocked by Websense. But, my ardent efforts of incessant trials have finally allowed me to be back to my webland - the land I CREATED!!! :)! Although the creation is on a free piece of webspace. I always wonder, what if cyberspace had the "zamindari" system, what would have happened to the world.
It is weird especially since people have actually started buying land in moon [:o Yeah, can ya beleive it? the MOON].!!
Few things - lifez good, not completely hectic, technically sound, and is quite a fulfilling learning experience. I have realised that I am to learn quite a bit, before I become comfy in my new line of work [which I won't reveal here as it mite be against the company policy - thanks guys ;)]. I love working tho.
I am thinking about making another content management system for Ramblings and port it to a good webspace provider and also buy my domain. Should come to about 1000 bucks a year, and I think now i can afford it. I guess I will start work on that soon. :)!
This weekend planning to make a trip to Chennai, but will depend on Thursday if I get assigned some work! If I do, then gonna be here as I gotta learn some more stuff anyway.
Anyhoo, miss reading and writing blogs, with the content being blocked like this :)! But, shall keep trying and forward this valiant effort. Btw, my site was selected for the Tripod Kitsch selection. So, people who have time, please search for the Tripod Kitsch in Google and vote fa "Ramblings of an Eccentric Soul"! I am sure that with ur votes, I can gain a good entry into the top 50 :)! Anyhoo, in office now, so gotta go :)! Seee ya \:D/

And I ramble again
Yo yo yo! Feels good to finally type in something. Am at the Siemens library and am finally checking my mail after about a week or more. The weirdest thing about Siemens net access - blocked by Websense [what?]. My site cannot be accessed unless I use a 60 minute quota time where in it opens sessions of 10 minutes so that I can type. It's blocked essentially for the reason that i can't access Webhosting sites as I may be able to copy data on to the web - and SISL has a lotta data to be protected. Well, they are essentially PARANOID about security. :)!
But, cool things are here to come. I have joined a project names - Nuclear Medicine. It involves 3d image processing and hence can actually be quite interesting and will ensure that I get a good solid powerful PC on my desk. Woohoo. I mite even get 2 pcs as I may be required to code and test. Hehehe.
Office is simply superb. Whenever I get bored, i just go all the way to the recreation room and enjoy some TT [which btw I am becoming better at]. Throw in the library which has a decent collection of books, unlimited coffee, tolerable, breakfast, lunch and dinner, and there you have how to recreate in SISL. Construction is going on for the new tower, which would double the space in SISL, and would ensure that we are able to get a specific cubicle and won't have to change around much.
Well, that's all for now! I guess, shall spend more time with my site, which I plan to now go to a professional host, with my domain name soon!!!!! Woohoo, SISL ROCKS!!!

Hi from Bangalore
As I am in a net cafe, and the computer sucks, I am just copying a mail that i wrote. Well, shall write in detail soon, when i get a better computer. God this keyboard and the mouse and the whole damn thing SUCKS!!!!!
Hey there!
I have reached Bangalore and what a wonderful place this is. Altho it's slightly costly, the place reeks of beautiful parks, greenery all around [all pun intended]. Am rite now staying at a guest house in Koramangala about 15 minutes walking distance from The Forum.
The guest house is beautiful with 3 tiers within the same house, rooms, hall and the dining hall. Behind the house, there is this humongous lawn. The only thig that sucks is that I gotta take leave of this place so soon.
On the lookout for a place to reside in here. The rents are generally off the roof, and hoping that I will manage to get a good place at a decent enough rent.
The best part of the whole thing is the free messagin, [local] 100 free smss a day @ just Re 1 rental per day. Amazing rite. this offer is there throughout Bangalore in most of the GSM moiles. And to think that I was appreensive about my mobile bills. :D
Mite go for a BSNL postpaid, not yet decded oR applied.
The computer that I am typing from SUCKS. It behaves like my mobile. I ave to actually wait for about 4 secnds, before the TEXT that I typed gets updated on to the screen. God, I miss my computer. Joining Siemens on the 11th. Apparently it's a week of the facilites being introduced t you and all. so should be pretty interesting. ;)!
well, Enjoy. C ya soon. Shall mail soon.

Signing off Trivandrum...
At the very least for a temporary basis, I am signing off from Trivandrum, my sanctum sanctorum for 20 years of the 21 years of my life. The place that I was brought to after being born in N. Parur [near Ernakulam]! I will definitely miss this place. I have had a taste of big cities, and well honestly, other than the hang out joints, the cool places, the stuff you get and the well places you get to see, I generally am NOT a person who likes cities adorned with people. I don't like crowds, and I hate having to share my space with tons of people. I would love to have the road to myself and probably enough cars to maintain a good speed and have safety. I would rather have the music world to myself and the helpers over there. I would rather have the restaurant just about filled with people to make the place look filled and not crammed. Although Trivandrum has many flaws of its own and has well the record time for digging up newly constructed roads, it did have the nice feeling of laid back place, where you can indeed live your life, rather than spending it [all pun intended]!
I like to know the shopkeepers around me, saying hi and bye on a regular basis, who are ready to help you in whatever way they can. I like to know the roads and have a vehicle. I like to come back to a place of my own and have my space to do anything that I want. I am going to really really really miss that particular aspect of my life. I am going to have to share my space with about 5-7 other people who I will have to START to get to know [not that i am bad at it], but until you really know them, you will feel that they are well - a STRANGER, and how much trust you can place with them? I am going to have to learn to manage my life. Finance, dresses, shelter, transportation etc. Accept responsibility for the work you do, try and enjoy, start on the "continuous learning process" and well chart out a career path and start a thread to keep a check and report to you every once in a while the status of where you are and is there any need to upgrade/degrade the path?
I already miss some of my pals, and now I am gonna have to start my life over with some new pals. I thank GOD that I am good at meeting people and making friends, else I would really have suffered. I have a tendency to become a loner, as that is there in my blood. I was a loner for only 2 years of my life - THANK GOD [11th and 12th], and I have totally grown over that! :)! [YAY], and I seriously hope, I will not fall into THAT RUT.
I hope to enjoy my life and feel that I am in complete control over it and am not moving about it, as if I am going in the flow. I wanna make sure that I am SWIMMING the direction and am in total complete sobreity over the decisions. Hehe, I know I am going on and on about boring stuff, but I feel that I have reached a point in which I think I really really need to hold th reins and lead it the way I want it to go.
But, hell I am gonna miss the people who have been SO much a part of my life and I have taken them so much for granted that I suddenly feel the pangs of guilt, feelings of love, affection and responsibility towards them. I am going to miss them terribly. Thatha, Ammamma, Amma, Ro, my pals - Lax, Gau, Sonz, Anoop. I already miss that ass Sid. I am indeed going to miss them all.
But, life has to move on, and I guess things are taking a turn for the good only. I was apprehensive about my work 2 days ago until I actually thought about Harsh and how much he has MADE his work enjoyable. I am sure I can definitely enjoy what I do. I mean for crying out loud, I actually enjoyed my course. I am sure that I can enjoy whatever I do, so there my fears were eased.
Hell, I have gotta say this! I am going to absolutely, undoubtedly miss Trivandrum, Amma, Thatha, Ammamma, Ro, Appa! I will terribly miss Lax, Gau, Sonz, Anoop and you too Sid!! I am going to miss the routine to college:
Get up, brush my teeth, shit[v], take a bath, dress, drive the kinetic to college, say yo to all the people i meet en route to class, hi to the teachers, pass my exuberance to the people around me, get my legs pulled, pull some legs, cut class, go to A-one, go out for food/matinees, series time sudden preparation, exam time meet ups with sid and remin, the hang out at P'code, the telephone conversations, the online discussions, hearing class gossip years after it happens, get back home and lie to Thatha that I had gone for project work!! I think this is probably one of the most emotional points in my life. I have had only one b4 this and that was when I left US to come back to India. But, this beats the hell out of it. Never knew how much I was delved into my own surroundings and totally oblivious to it!! =)! I am going to surely miss you TVM!! C ya soon!!!

A Dream...
I was asleep dreaming of some competition that I was taking part in and in that I had created a character of a tribal chieftain. I liked the description that I gave of the character in that and thought I would log it and remember it for a later time.
Tribal chief Googoodoll basher
Mr. Googoodoll basher is a trained vegetarian cannibal cheiftain. He dislikes human meat but likes human products. He is a man who likes poopoo with his peepee, but not peepee with his poopoo. He's trained in 7 different martial arts of the humans and 18 styles of the monkeys. A specialist in mating calls, he has earned his doctorate in the mating calls of cockroaches. Looking through his career heights, starting a simple life, he has reached to be the cheiftain of the Wukuuka [Woo koo kaa] tribe, through a maze of many different tribes whos e names and pronounciations are further confusing.
His hobbies include skate boarding, birdwatching [giving a whole new meaning to it now that he knows mating calls], testing new human products, cleaning the river, helping out his mom to clean up the humans before they are put into the kettle, helping his dad work on the poison tipped arrows, working out by the mountains, hiking by foot, swimming by hands, killing by head. He wants to continue his foray into the unknown human world and introduce new ways of peaceful life. His ambition is to collect the Nobel prize for peace

Well, there was more and I got an applause in the end, but this is all I remember of it. DAMN!! :D Anyhoo, me going back to sleep. Came out of the slumber only to log this and now done, ADIOS!
