What's in a name?

What's in a name? Well, it didnt really matter to Shakesphere what the name of a person. And, I dont think mindset of people has changed a lot about a name even in this era. Well, if you still do think a lot about a name you must be seriously out of work or you have retired from work and are looking for some different hobby to hook on to. Well, on a more serious note what I am coming to say is there is nothing more to a name than just a means of identification.

But, I guess a name means more than just a, well a name. At least that's what one can derive from the changing of names of so many cities across India. First it was the three metros of India - Bombay, Calcutta, Madras where renamed as Mumbai, Kolkatta, Chennai respectively. Now, the "christening" bug has infected the Government of Karnataka. They have decided to rename Bangalore to Bengaluru and subsequently there are plans to change the names of other major cities into some names which invokes the need of a small crash course in pronunciations.

Well modifying the famous Shakespherean question you might ask "What's in changing a name?". It wouldn't have affected us if the Chief Minister of Karnataka decided to change his son's name into something more primitive just to accomodate the kannada image into his name. Maybe, a big bash worth a few lakhs for the change of name. But, changing the name of a city involves a lot of expenditure. For one all the direction markers have to be replaced. Change the administrative records according to the new name.

Even if the financial expenses are ignored as a one time expense ( I guess the Karnataka Government coffers are overflowing with funds. Wonder why the infrastructure is still taking a beating with all this excess funds?) the image of Bangalore which is been built across decades partially depends on the name of the city as well. Bangalore has risen as the IT capital of India by the rush of multi national IT majors from across the globe. And, for all these multi nationals Bangalore still will be Bangalore except when they might look at Bengaluru in some memorandoms they might sign on. Even then they might wonder is it the name of a pre-historic mammal. Anyone who has worked on building a brand does know the brand name holds the key. The name Rolls Royce gives you the immediate feeling of royal luxury and comfort. Its the same with the brand called Bangalore. Even if it looks Bangalore has risen fast as the IT capital of India, the brand name Bangalore is still in the process of catching on worldwide. I wont say Bangalore is barely known by people. After all there is term called Bangalored. But its Bangalored not Bengalured. That is the difference a brand name can make. It can make or break a brand. Will the change of name make or break only time will say.

Let's ignore the brand name part as well. Bangalore has enough IT majors who have set up their shop in the city. Bangalore (pardon me I still find Bangalore catchy) can pull through. But, does it really matter to you or anyone what is Bangalore called. Well, the legislators might also ask the same question. If it doesnt bother you why make an issue out of it? To their kind information it doesnt really matter to me neither does it to the millions of others. They will still call Bangalore, Bangalore. But it will hurt the pockets of millions of tax payers of Karnataka who pay taxes in the hope of living a better and smoother life. I guess living a smoother and efficient life is passe. Changing the name seems to be more appealing to our legislators which is the only reason that justifies the expenditure on changing names. Or is it some superstition like most of the Bollywood filmmakers have about the names of their movies? Or is it to compete with the three metros whose names are changed (the names were pronunciable at least unlike the long Bengaluru)? After all Bangalore is no less than a metropolitan, might be termed a metro pretty soon as well. So then we are stuck with the same question. What's in a name? However, deep you try to dig into the mystery you return back clueless. As usual compromise with the decisions of the pot bellies and carry on with your mundane day to day activities, ignoring your rights to question a decision even if it is right. After all we are the world's largest democracy. Or are we really a democracy? About that issue, some other time. For now lets have some fun in free time and start helping out with some innovative names for the other cities.

Preacher's Ass

A preacher wanted to raise money for his church and on being told that there was a fortune in horse racing, decided to purchase a horse and enter it in the races.However, at the local auction, the going price for horses was so high that he ended up buying a donkey instead.He figured that since he had it, he might as well go ahead and enter it in the races. To his surprise, the donkey came in third!The next day the local paper carried this headline: PREACHER'S ASS SHOWS.The preacher was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and this time it won.The paper read: PREACHER'S ASS OUT IN FRONT. The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the preacher not to enter the donkey in another race.The paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PREACHER'S ASS. This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the preacher to get rid of the donkey.The preacher decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The paper headline the next day read: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.The Bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.00.The next day the headline read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.00. This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey, lead it to the plains, and let it go.Next day, the headline in the paper read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE. The Bishop was buried the next day.

Why Smells Like Calvin Spirit?

Why is my blog named after Calvin???? Hmmm... I had a lot of names on my mind before I settled on this name. Before I could start off with this blog, I had published one more blog. I had named it as some chronicle.... Well it was a long time back. So why am I ruminating about the name of my blog now? Well its been more than a year since I published my first post and its been alomost 5 months since I published anything on my blog. A lot of things has been happening in this last four months and blogging sure was not one of them. Today I was looking thro' all my posts and felt suddenly that I have been missing something in this last five months and I have decided to correct it. Well, I have decided to blog again, albeit in a very small and few and far between posts way, I have decided better late than never.

Well I guess I deviated a bit from the topic I started with. What was it? Yeah, why is my blog called "Smells like Calvin Spirit". As I said, I had a lot of names on my mind for my blog. I wanted it to sound a bit cranky, sound more like me. Already I had tried my hands at a blog, a very serious one at that and felt miserable when I looked back at the posts I had published in that blog. The blog looked more of a daily journal rather than what I wanted it to be. I wanted the blog to be an extension of me rather than just a daily journal of all my mundane activities. But, it was not a bad experience all together. It gave me the first taste of what blogging was and it taught me what I wanted and not wanted from my blog.

Again I guess I am deviating from my topic. But, I thought a bit of history was needed before I could give you the actual reason for picking this name for my blog. Those were the days when I was really feeling lonely and I had very few friends. All I was doing then was work from morning to evening, go back home, eat food and sleep. I also used to get a lot of Calvin mails those days and used to love reading them. Like Calvin had Hobbes as his companion, I made Calvin my companion. I used to think so much like Calvin, even though I knew he was just a fictional charecter born out of someone's imagination. He felt so real and true to me and so close to what I felt and feel even now. That's when I decided I would dedicate a blog to my companion Calvin. But, I didnt want the blog to entirely be a collection of Calvin Strips. I wanted it to contain topics which would have the free wheeling, out of the box thinking essence depicted by this tiny kid Calvin. I wanted topics with a bit of mean streak, a bit of nonsensical humor, procrastination, opinionated about anything and everything that goes on around him and everything that depicted the spirit of Calvin and made him an immortal in people's minds. Voila, what better name than Calvin Spirit. But it still didnt have that ring to it. Then the Nirvana song started playing on my head phones. Smells like teen spirit. Nothing else could take my mind away from the name of my new blog. It had to be SMELLS LIKE CALVIN SPIRIT. I didnt give a damn about what people thought about the name then neither do I give a damn now. But, looking back at all the posts I have made on this blog I dont regret about it like I did with my earlier blog. Neither does it look like a mundane daily journal. I feel I have kept the spirit of Calvin alive in me still when I look at the blog.

I may have stopped blogging for a while now. Maybe the very reason I had started this blog is no more a reason. I have lots of friends for company now. I dont feel I am lonely now. Maybe I ignored my old pal Calvin for the new ones I made. I am feeling a sort of guilt for not being able to give attention to my friend in the times of my loneliness. Does this mean I am lonely again? Nope, certainly not. But, that doesnt mean I have to look down on my blog right? So I guess I have made up my mind to make blogging a part of my life again. And who better to share my thoughts at this point of my life than my pal, my companion, Calvin who is the spirit of my blog.

I think I have bored yuo enough now. Which is not what this blog is meant for. I made this blog to entertain myself and the few people who might love to read it. I guess I have lost the faith of some people who might have been visiting my blog. I wish to repay them back in whatever small way I can. So, in true Calvin spirit, let the journey to finding Utopia begin.

Into the dark side

The Supernatural...

This case happened in a hospital's Intensive care ward where Patients always died in the same bed and on all Sunday morning at 11a.m, regardless of their medical condition.

This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths took place at 11 AM.

So a world-wide expert team was constituted and they decided to go down to the ward to investigate the cause of the incidents. So on the next Sunday morning few minutes before 11 a.m. all doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves
what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off evil........
Ju st when the! clock struck 11...

and then......

Santa Singh, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and Unplugged the life support system & plugged in the vacuum cleaner

Clipmark

Have you ever desired to have a space of your own in the world wide web but were too lazy to build a website of your own or were not able to do so because of lack of knowledge of html?
I know there is wikipedia which is kind of a pioneer in helping people post their views and publish into an html page without the knowledge of html or stylesheets and so on (Even though wikipedia allows you to edit an online page, it does not allow you to have a website of your own).
Then there are options like blogger-which is my most preferred option- and numerous other blogspaces which offers you an opportunity to post your views and publish it into a webpage which you can be proud of.
And as a last option you can always hire someone to build and maintain your webpage. This is the best option as it gives you a wide flexibility and versatility in what you can do with your site. But, it definitelty comes with a hefty price tag.
All of the above options requires you to key in at the least a few lines to make a meaningful post which can be converted into a sleek looking html webpage by the service providers. What if you want everything served on a platter and all you need to do is just swallow the bit placed in your mouth (yep, you don't even have to use the spoons)?
Enter Clipmarks a really innovative way to stamp your imprint on the world wide web without even doing the dirty work. Clipmark as the word itslef suggests allows you to cut clippings from websites you have liked and publish it as a post on the Clipmarks website. It is like cutting out your favourite articles from the newspaper and collecting those paper clippings in your own scrap book. Of course you won't have a web page of your own but, your posts can be made to view by a large community of clipmarkers. All you have to do is download a firefox extension which provides you a tool to graphically select an area of interest you want to clip out. After you have selected your area of interest simply click one more button to save the clip on to your own online scap book of web clippings. Well, here you have to do a bit of key pressing to login to your clipmark account (I cannot find a substitute for this bit of hard work). Voila! your clipping is ready to be viewed by the world.
I am really impressed and anxious to know the possible outcomes of such an innovation. What next?

Painting of Tica by Dru Blair

I am getting more and more artistically inclined these days I feel. This is the second post about art from me. For a guy with absolutely no eye for anything asthetically pleasing(other than ladies) this is an overdose. But, when art is combined with God's most wonderful creation(read women), then I cannot overlook it. Even though I am a total moron when it comes to wooing girls, I do have an eye for an eye candy. And, good looking women are more than eye candy to me. And, if you combine it with art, then you have the most lethal combination for an art connoisseur and a layman like me. Although, distratcors and critcs of photorealistic paintings may dismiss this as pointless and non-art, for me it's a stunner, considering my experiments with art(I never could draw beyond Mickey Mouse and cell diagrams for biology class). The amount of realism the artist has achieved in this piece is awesome. Maybe, there are other fine artists who are involved in this kind of work, but for me to even fathom that this was a painting was hardwork in itself. Hats off to the artist.

Tica by Dru Blair

What's wrong with you Sardarji???

One sad day Sardarji finds out from his doctor that he's going to die.
He asks the doctor if there is anything, anything at all that he can do to
save his life.

After careful consideration and analysis the doctor tells him that he'll
have to drink a milk off a mom's nipples who's just recently become a mom
for three consecutive days and he'll live.

Sardarji all depressed reaches home where his whole family relatives and
friends are there to share their sympathies. One of his childhood friends
tells him "Yaar, tennu pata hai teri bhabi da munda howa hai, teri jaan de
khaatir tu peela dood usse." Sardarji all shy goes "Mein bhabi naal aisa
kaise kar sakta hoon."

Friend: "Koi gal nahii oyee, tere se bharke thorehi hai!"

So Sardarji goes into the room where Sardarni is lying on the bed. While
sucking on the nipples he gets her aroused and when he's about to leave,
Sardarni goes "Sardarji taanu kuj hor chaiida te manglo?"

Sardarji: "Nahii nahii bhabii, tussi mere liye enna kujh kita, o bohot hai."
And Sardarji goes home.
Next day he comes back and again Sardarni all horny says "Sardarji taanu kuj
hor chaiida te manglo?"

Sardarji: "Nahii nahii bhabii, tussi mere liye enna kujh karde pe o, bohot
hai."

Final day Sardarji comes and yet again Sardarni is again real horny
"Sardarji tussi roz aandeo, aaj te kujh hor manglo tussi" Sardarji:
"Chalo tussi kendeo te dood naal biscuit hojaan te mazza aajave!"

Think before you act....

Two women were playing golf. One teed off and watched with horror as her ball headed directly towards a foursome of men playing the next hole. The ball hit one of them and he immediately fell to the ground clutching his hands together in his groin, and rolled around in obvious agony.

The woman rushed over and immediately began to apologize "Please allow me to help, I'm a Physical Therapist and I know I could relieve your pain if you'll allow me" she told him.

"Oh no I'll be alright, I'll be fine in a few minutes" the man replied, still lying in the fetal position, still clasping his hands together at his groin.

At her persistence, however, he finally allowed her to help. She gently took his hands away and laid them at his sides, she loosened his trousers and put her hand inside. She administered tender and skillful massage for several long moments and then asked "How does that feel?"

He replied "It feels fabulous, but my thumb still hurts like hell"

A Poem...

My First Time

The sky was dark
The moon was high
All alone just she and I.

Her hair was soft
Her eyes were blue
I knew just what she wanted to do.

Her skin so soft
Her legs so fine
I ran my fingers down her spine.

I didn't know how
But I tried my best
I started by placing my hands on her breast.

I remember my fear my fast beating heart
But slowly she spread her legs apart
And when I did it I felt no shame.

All at once the white stuff came
At last it's finished it's all over now
My first time ever at milking a cow.....

Bite It...

A guy walking down the street sees a woman with perfect breasts. He says to her, "Hey miss, would you let me bite your breasts for $100 dollars?

"Are you nuts? !!" she replies, and keeps walking away. He turns around, runs around the block and gets to the corner before she does.

"Would you let me bite your breasts for $1,000 dollars?" he asks again.

"Listen you; I'm not that kind of woman! Got it?" So the guy runs around the next block and faces her again. "Would you let me bite your breasts just once for $10,000 dollars?"

She thinks about it for a while and says, "Hmmm, $10,000 dollars, eh? Ok, just once, but not here. Let's go to that dark alley over there."

So they go into the alley, where she takes off her blouse to reveal the most perfect breasts in the world. As soon as he sees them, he grabs them and starts caressing them, fondling them slowly, kissing them, licking them, burying his face in them, but not biting them.

The woman finally gets annoyed and asks, "Well? Are you gonna bite them or not?"

"Nah", he replies. "Costs too much !!!!"

Business proposal...

Johnny wanted to screw a girl in his office.....but she belonged to someone else...

One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her and said I'll give you a 1000 dollars if you let me screw you....but the girl said NO.

Johnny said I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on the floor, you bend down, I'll be finished by the time you pick it up.

She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her boyfriend.....so she called her boyfriend and told him the story.

Her boyfriend says ask him for 2000 dollars, pick up the money very fast, he won't even be able to get his pants down. So she agrees and accepts the proposal.

Half an hour goes by and the boyfriend is waiting for his girlfriend to call. Finally after 45 mins the boyfriend calls and asks what happened......

She said "THE BASTARD USED COINS!!!"

Management lesson:

ALWAYS CONSIDER A BUSINESS PROPOSAL IN ITS ENTIRETY!

Logitech's new device

Good news for all those artistic minds working on Adobe's Creative Suite to create digital art. For people familiar with Adobe's Creative suite like the Photoshop, it is a a common feature to use keyboard shortcuts for common operations. But, memorizing these shortcuts is a pain staking and time consuming task. Even after years of experience you will still not remember all the shortcuts. Logitech has come up with a new device which could be a boon for all those artistic souls trying to create magic with bits and bytes. Also, it could mean more productivity and more money for the companies into the business of computer graphics. This device which can be worked on with your non-mouse using hand has buttons exclusively developed for the shortcuts.

Good Dog...

A man was leaving a cafe with his morning coffee when he noticed a very unusual funeral procession. A funeral coffin was followed by a second one about 50 feet behind the first. Behind the second coffin was a solitary man walking with a black dog. Behind him was a queue of 200 men walking in a single line.

The man could not stand his curiosity. He approached the man walking with the dog, "I am sorry for your loss, and i know now is a bad time to disturb you, but I've never seen a funeral like this with so many of you walking in single line. Whose funeral is it?"

The man replied "well, the first coffin is for my wife."

The inquisitive man asked "What happened to her?"

The man replied "My dog attacked and killed her."

He inquired further "Well, who is in the second coffin?"

The man answered "My mother-in-law. She was trying to help my wife when the dog attacked and killed her also."

A thoughtful moment of silence passes between the two men.

Then the first one asks in excitement "Can I borrow the dog?"

The man replied "Please join the queue."

Business Search Engine

Nothing great about this search engine, except that it is designed specifically for the purpose of searching business and finance related topics on the web. Of course not a Google beater by any stretch of imagination. But, for people who are business geeks and would not like to see their search page cluttered with non-business related stuff would enjoy the search results on this engine. Just one more innovative business idea on the web. Well, for other not so business savvy people you can skip this one. I don't have to tell you what other search engine options you have - as if you were looking for options.

Fire fighters

One dark night outside a small town in Wisconsin, a fire started inside

the local chemical plant and in a blink of an eye it exploded into massive

lames. The alarm went out to all the fire departments for miles around.

When the volunteer fire fighters appeared on the scene, the chemical

company president rushed to the fire chief and said: "All our secret

formulas are

in the vault in the center of the plant. They must be saved. I will give

$50,000 to the fire department that brings them out intact."



But the roaring flames held the firefighters off.



Soon, more fire departments had to be called in as the situation became

desperate. As the firemen arrived, the president shouted out that the

offer was now $100,000 to the fire department who could bring out the

company's secret files.



>From the distance, a lone siren was heard as another fire truck came into

sight. It was the volunteer fire company from the nearby Norwegian rural

township, composed mainly of Norwegians over the age of 65. To everyone's

amazement, that little run-down fire engine roared right past all the

sleek newer engines that were parked outside the plant.



Without even slowing down, it drove straight into the middle of the

inferno. Outside, the other firemen watched as the Norwegian old timers

jumped off right in the middle of the fire fought it back on all sides. It

was a performance and effort never seen before.



Within a short time, the Norske old timers had extinguished the fire and

had saved the secret formulas. The grateful chemical company president

announced hat for such a superhuman feat he was upping the reward to

$200,000, and walked over to personally thank each of the brave fire

fighters.



The local TV news reporter rushed in to capture the event on film, asking

their chief, "What are you going to do with all that money?"



"Vell," said Ole Larsen, the 70-year-old fire chief,

"Da first thing ve gonna do is fix da brakes on dat focking truck!"

The perfect match...

Girl was in her late thirties and still not married.She just had a hard time
meeting men. And the men she did meet all ended up being jerks. Finally, she
decided to place an ad in the personals in the newspaper. Girl wrote:
"Looking for a man who won't beat me, won't leave me, and is excellent in
bed." ..

Several days went by and she hadn't gotten a single call. Then, one day she
was doing her laundry when she heard a knock on the door. She walked
upstairs to answer it. She opened the door and saw a man in a wheelchair
with no arms and no legs.

"Can I help you?" Girl asked. .. He said, "I am the man of your dreams!" ..
Girl was baffled. She said, "Excuse me." .. "I read your personal ad in the
paper and I am the perfect man for you. I have no arms, so I can't beat you.
I have no legs, so I can never leave you."
..

"But are you good in bed?" Girl asked. ..
He replied, "How do you think I knocked the door?!"

What a coincidence...

A man went into a local tavern and took a seat at the bar next to a female
patron.
He turned to her and said, "This is a special day, I'm celebrating."
"What a coincidence," said the woman, "I'm celebrating, too".
She clinked glasses with him and asked, "What are you celebrating?"
"I'm a chicken farmer," he replied. "For years all my hens were infertile,
but today they're finally fertile."
"What a coincidence, the woman said. "My husband and I have been trying to
have a child. Today, my gynecologist told me I'm pregnant!
How did your chickens become fertile?" she asked.
"I switched cocks," he replied.
"What a coincidence," she said.

Windows XP SP2 annoyances

I was trying to install Windows XP service pack 2 on one of the machines at my work place. I was not able to install as I was getting a "Win32 Access denied" error everytime I tried to install. Also, on some machines with SP2 I could not see the "Network connections" and could not access the dependancies tab in the Windows Installer service. My colleague at work, Clerita finally found the soln. to the problem thanks to some extensive searching and sleepless nights and some help from the google groups.

The soln. to the problem is to change a few settings in the Default Domain Policy on your server.

The relevant part of the Default Domain Policy that caused this is shown in condensed form below:

Console Root
{Group Policy}
Computer Configuration
Software Settings
Windows Settings
Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
Security Settings
Account Policies
Local Policies
Audit Policy
User Rights Assignment
Impersonate a client after authentication .

Resolution: Change the above policy setting for Impersonate a client
after authentication to: Administrators, , SERVICE.

Restart the workstation twice (once to pick up the change in Group Policy and again to be affected by it at Windows startup)

And folks this thing really really works. This is not a very common problem and the research we had done to find the needle in the haystack was tremendous.

XP Annoyances

The above link was really helpful as not a lot of solns. were available on the net. Also, for a change some informative post on my part after a very very long time.

How to put to use wasted things.....

The wife comes home early & finds her husband in their master bedroom
making love to a beautiful, sexy young lady!

"You unfaithful, disrespectful pig! What are you doing? How dare
you do this to me the faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm
leaving this house, I want a divorce!"

The husband, replies "Wait, Wait a minute! Before you leave, at
least listen to what happened"

"Hmm, I don't know, well, it'll be the last thing I will hear from
you. But make it fast, you unfaithful pig, you!"

The husband begins to tell his story . . . "While driving home this

young lady asked for a ride. I saw her so defenseless that I went ahead

and allowed her in my car. I noticed that she was very thin, not well
dressed and very dirty. She mentioned that at she had not eaten for 3
days. With great compassion I brought her home and warmed up the
enchiladas that I made for you last night that you wouldn't eat because

you're afraid you'll gain weight; the poor thing practically devoured
them."

"Since she was very dirty I asked if she wanted to take a shower.

While she was showering, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of
holes so I threw her clothes away. Since she needed clothes, I gave her

the pair of jeans that you have had for a few years, that you can no
longer wear because they are too tight on you, I also gave her the
blouse that I gave you on our anniversary and you don't wear because I
don't have good taste."

"I gave her the pullover that my sister gave you for Christmas that you

will not wear just to bother my sister and I also gave her the boots
that you bought at the expensive boutique that you never wore again
after you saw your co-worker wearing the same pair."

The husband continues his story . . . . .

"The young woman was very grateful to me and I walked her to the
door.When we got to the door she turned around and with tears coming
out of her eyes, she asks me:
"Sir, do you have anything else that your wife does not use?"
