7:11 PM Krishna: muse?

Harish: that helmet could come in handy to dilip, when he inspects the structure

Harish: dilip come on fast

Pradeep: any rcommendations ?

Pradeep: isaac asimov?

7:34 PM dilip: kk's off the hook for the day

Krishna: my dear tender friends, asimov style sci fi is so passe

Pradeep: is that so ?

Krishna: very passe

Harish: i dislike sci fi

Pradeep: have you read any sci-fi ?

Krishna: the latest greatest genre is technopunk

Pradeep: I thought so too before I read Dune

Harish: shantaram ***** read it ppl, its good

7:35 PM technopunk ? RHCP?

Krishna: ahem lemme complete this lil speech

Pradeep: go on

7:36 PM Krishna: ya... in technopunk you have science, current, past and future, used for fictitious purposes to do what all books try to describe - saving the world

7:37 PM dilip: basically pulp fiction?

Pradeep: why is it called that and how is it different from sci-fi?

7:38 PM Krishna: you will also notice real life characters making apprearances... like alan turing in cryptonomicon, edison in quicksilver, etc

Harish: and why "techno"

Pradeep: thats the techno part

Krishna: sci-fi is different from technopunk in a way you can describe only after reading both

Harish: sounds super geeky

7:39 PM Pradeep: how profound,anyways will try 'em so which ones are supposed to be good ?

just went on a book buying spree last weekend, damn !!

Harish: what books did u buy?

Krishna: yes the 'sounds super geeky' is a good observation... like all great things it is first highly enjoyed by geek gangs and then becomes mainstream

7:40 PM Pradeep: nothing great , bought theStephen Covey classic

and then bought two other books which I cant seem to recollect now

Krishna: oh no not the 7 book!

Harish: he's the guy who writes on the art of living no?

Pradeep: :)

Freedom is the recognition of necessity

2007-06-05T03:03:00.001-07:00

Krishna: wonder what u mean...

Krishna Kumar: Minimum Wage Monkey

Pradeep: my status message

Sent at 3:18 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: ya

Pradeep: me too

Sent at 3:18 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: i think effect of ur status msg is on the subconscious

Pradeep: what do you mean

Sent at 3:21 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: i mean the meaning is not immediately obvious

Pradeep: I odnt think it's that profound

Krishna: but sounds right

Pradeep: here's my explanation

Krishna: hehe

Pradeep: the society in which we live imposes certain laws , correct ??

Krishna: rite

Pradeep: the laws ensure that one person doesnt encroach on another's property or freedom

in doing so , the society or government is actually recognising every person's right to his own property

and this right of every person to his own property is a necessity

not sure if I got that right

Sent at 3:24 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: so the ultimate neccessities (as deemed by society) are made as rights?

Pradeep: yes

lemme ask you this , what is of ultimate importance to you ?

Krishna: existence

Pradeep: just mere existence ?

dont you mean existence in a non-prejudiced socity where you have equal oppurtunity to survive and thrive

Sent at 3:28 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: dont think that'll ever happen... so thats ok with me

i mean i dont take it for granted that

all are equal and thriving

Pradeep: ok, but thats the ideal right , though not what we see around us

Krishna: ya

Pradeep: so that existence in a non-prejudiced society where blah blah is your necessity

now when some form of government /body recognises that necessity , and begins to make laws that will ensure that your necessity is provided and protected for

thats where they are guaranteeing your freedom

Krishna: gotit

Pradeep: hmm I hope thats what Hegel meant

Sent at 3:32 PM on Tuesday

Krishna: its pretty profound compared to Minimum wage monkey!

Pradeep: hehe so it seems

Sent at 3:33 PM on Tuesday

Who framed Raja Rabbit??

2007-01-19T08:51:00.000-08:00

Krishna: did he ne-majji u?

she tried every possible thing to get his attention.. everything.....

and eventually, threw this crumpled tissue at him..

me: nah, I was only too happy to have ppl looking at me when I took my shots

7:38 PM Harish: wondered how much that attention grabbing sequence cost you?

2006-10-18T23:54:00.000-07:00

Harish: just had a huuge argument with another one of our bangalore haters

ambar: at (beep) ?

Harish: yep...

the bugger thinks blore has nothing to offer

ambar: did u throw the magic bullet at him?

heh

did u use the magic argument?

Harish: some friend of his a (beep) landed here and asked him to show him around the city

ambar: and? where is this dude from?

Harish: (beep)

ambar: ok..

Harish: he said for non-drinkers there is verry little todo

ambar: who, the (beep)?

Harish: the only thing i see bangalore lacking is a beach man

but thats the price u pay for the weather

ambar: absolutely. either beach or weather

Harish: dont u just wanna castrate these buggers and send them back to the pan spitting shacks they came from?

ambar: rofl yeah

a visiting (beep) criticizing is fine by me

key bein 'visiting'

Harish: women here nt being too promiscouous must have upset him

ambar: this (beep) friend of urs..ask him which city he thinks is good

rofl @ women

and when he names that city ask him why he isn't there

to which he will reply smthig abt jobs and companies

to which u say, are the companies stupid to stay here, or are you stupid to want to go somewere else?

ashte

Harish: simple and crisp.. :D

ambar: :D

if someone says delhi -> go live in delhi-> not many jobs in delhi -.> not many jobs or you arent good enough to get jobs in a place like delhi with few jobs

yellinda bartaro ivarella

u know what..

city one lives in is like one's wife

if you complain abt your wife being bad-looking...

it means u are not attractive and culdnt find an attractive female

Harish: ROFLOL

ambar: when will these fools understand?

my funda is simple - complaining is pointless if you can't change it

Harish: they won't.. they'll have something wrong to say even about amsterdam which serves you coffee and cognac with someone giving u a lapdance

ambar: ROFLMAO Amsterdam!

magaa..when I retire and make enough money, i'll live in Amsterdam -i'll be a perverted old man in Amsterdam

Harish: btw noticed one thing... dont see any bangalorean woman hanging out with these guys .. from the (beep)

ambar: hmmm

Harish: or even (beep) for that matter.. very very few of all i've known

ambar: they have to import their women

Harish: i see class in that

ambar: its a well known fact

women in (beep) etc. have lower standards..

Harish: the mujra connection

ambar: lol

Harish: lemme check what my name throws up

ambar: :-) ok

Harish: 18800 without airport taxes sounds like ball squeezing

Pradeep: hmm

I think if we go on our own , it's only the airfare that should take up the chunk of the budget

Sent at 2:28 PM on Tuesday

Harish: yep.. in fact im more inclined to a cruise to andaman..

20g should be a decent estimate

Pradeep: wont a cruise cost more than the airfare ?

Sent at 2:29 PM on Tuesday

Harish: nah its the same

Sent at 2:29 PM on Tuesday

Harish: dude

Sent at 2:49 PM on Tuesday

Harish: duude

4200 from chennai to port blair on flight.. we can return via cruise which works out to be another 4-5 k

Pradeep: port blair is in Andamans right >

Harish: staying for 4-5 days works out to be another 6-8k so it'll work out to be about 18k!

duh :-8

Pradeep: bad at history and geography man

Harish: so what do ya think?

Pradeep: sounds good we just have to work out the dates
