Trouble with a name

I'm in an interesting situation... Few years back during my schooling , I came across a guy 'X' who played certain pranks on me..The pranks were not that serious , but sort of irritating enough for me to remember this guy even now... Much later I came across another guy 'Y', who really made some trouble in my life/career at-least indirectly.. And I was seriously irritated with him then.. Whether the changes that I made to get away from 'Y' was good or bad is another debatable thing.. But whatever, the connection between 'X' and 'Y' is that they share the same first name. Now, I'm increasingly interacting with another guy 'Z' - who shares the same first name.. Rationally there is no reason why I should be hesitant in interacting with him..but as some people say, intuition or gut-feeling is telling me to be extremely careful while dealing with 'Z' ... I'm just wondering .. have any of you been in such a situation ?...

NITC Special ==> Lost Symbols ?

Alright , here’s the NITC special post. The usual disclaimers apply.. This might seem extremely irrelevant for all Non-NITC/CREC visitors to my blog. Date of visit : Jan – 6, 2008 Quite a lot of things have changed since my last visit.. As I remarked in my last post, I was here for attending the wedding reception of my batch-mate, Ibrahim.. The first sight that kind of ignited the old memories… (1) Mamachan’s Ruins è http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/phot o#5154167544479834402 They have moved a little bit ahead (2) The New Mamachan’s location è http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/photo#5154167565954670898 After this, I stepped into the campus through the rear gate (3) This place hasn’t changed much..Isn’t it ? http://picasaweb.google.com/ajithprasadb/NITC/photo#5154167596019441986 Buildings everywhere!.. I lost count of the number of hostels that the college has..There a new PG hostel, old PG modifie...

Economics,Girl Friends & Tata's Nano

I had to post this.. Or rather rediff gave me an opportunity .. See this news -- Impressed by Tata's One Lakh car, Sanjay Dutt chose that to gift a Tata Nano to his girl friend Manyata.. It also reports that he chose Nano over a 4 Crore car :-).. I wonder what Manyata's reaction was when she heard this 4 Crore - 1 Lakh swap ..Or call it economics of love .. Assuming he had 4 Crore money for this purpose, he can split it and give it to 400 girl-friends, past present and future.. Makes sense..Isn't it ?

Time Value

No..I'm not cribbing about the time that I lose..But a different thing.... Something for which I yearned two years before didn't materialize then, but it did now..And now I'm in an entirely different situation...It the sense,it would have made me ecstatic two years back..but it is kind of making me indifferent now... Hmmm..Got to think . On another note..Who said two wrongs doesnt make a right ? It does atleast in software.. "Wrong Code + Wrong Test Case = Expected Results " -- I got that yesterday..Fortunately was easy to fix.. And over the NITC trip that I was talking about in last post - We went..But I need a big post and more time to describe those..Would do in a week :-) Ajith
