Was going through the google analytics for karthickraghavan.com. Something was unusual. I had a visitor from Olulu (See picture).Olulu Where the heck is this place? If I still remember my middle school geography correctly, it is in the pacfic ocean. This I say after seeing the map. hehe! :-)

Do people have access to the internet from the middle of the sea? Is Olulu an island? No answers yet. I am going nuts. :-(
P.S. :- I had a visitor from Istanbul (Turkey) and Lucknow (Australia). I never knew there was a Lucknow in Australia. How poor I am in geography!

I have been seeing ads from a lot of job sites over the internet and other forms of media. In fact, I have tried using a few of them during my job search after college. That was in 2004.

If I remember correctly, these sites offer resume building and personality development courses too. They charge an amount for these additional services. Are these sites worth using? I am listing out a few of the famous Indian job sites below. If you have used any of these or any of your friends have used and were placed in a job let me know. It is just a curiosity to know whether these are worth using.

I stumbled upon a small extension for firefox which helps to scrap in Orkut. Install the orkut scrap replier using small window extension. Login to your orkut account and navigate to your scrapbook. Left click on the photo of your buddy and scrap it all the way. Happy scrapping! :)

You are not tagged? Weird!

My Alter-ego: Umesh is tagged.

Me : huh?

My Alter-ego : So is Balaji. Are you not tagged?

Me : What do you mean by that?

My Alter-ego: Have not you read Shikha’s comment about the online game “Tag you’re it” ? What are you waiting for?

Me : Yeah! What am I waiting for?

Here I am tagged ….

I am thinking about…

  • How to make people accept the concept of no religion, no caste and no differences?

I want to…

  • talk less and work more. It is too difficult.

I wish…

  • I had a car. It’s really difficult to commute for hours together in Chennai’s transport system.
  • My life partner is a singer.

I hear…

  • to Ilayaraaja’s music all the time.

I wonder…

  • how people are put up with me?

I regret…

  • no regrets as of now.

I am

  • half God and half animal-like.Like the verse in the Aalavandhan movie song “kadavul paathi, mirugam paathi”.

“கடவுள் பாதி மிருகம் பாதி கலந்து செய்த கலவை நான்.”

I dance…

  • when I am alone at home.

I sing…

  • Ilayaraaja’s songs all the time.

I cry…

  • at times.

I am not always…

  • silly.

I make with my hands…

  • a small paper boat. That’s the level of skill I possess.

I write…

  • at karthickraghavan
  • mails (my work makes me write more than a hundred daily).

I confuse…

  • when I am confused..

I need…

  • a partner in life who can take me as who I am.

And finally…

  • I am tagged. :-)

Things that keep me from crashing

Published on August 25, 2006 in life, pastime and people. 5 Comments

I thought of writing about this very long back. Here I am, after a long thought on this. Given below are the list of people and things thet keep the parts in my machinery running. If not, I would have joined a lunatic assylum long back.

  1. A big mug of Filter coffee. (too good when it is made by mom).
  2. A stroll down Marina beach once in every two months.
  3. Listening to Chennai’s FM Radio stations.
  4. Second show movie at Ambattur’s one and only Rakki theatre. (once in a month atleast).
  5. Daily quarrels with Balaji. (Balaji took the honorable seat after Gayu’s marriage). I miss Gayu and our killu fights :-(
  6. Long SMS chats with buddies. (as long as SMS stays free) :-)
  7. Ilayaraja‘s Music.
  8. Balaji and Umesh‘s daily jottings.
  9. Chennai‘s heat. I can survive hot conditions. I hate cold climate.
  10. Internet.
  11. Not to forget my family and friends who are put up with all my idotic talks and tantrums. :-)
  12. My job and my salary.

Oops! The list seems to go on like Sindbad’s tale in Daily thanthi. :-)

What are the things that keeps you going. Share them! :-)
