New take on Taken!

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

In the trailer for the movie Taken, the main guy goes – "I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don’t have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

In times like these, I want to change that and say –
"I don’t know who you are. I don’t know what you want. If you are looking for a programmer, I can tell you I don’t have code. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me an asset for people like you. If you let me keep my job for now, that’ll be the end of it. I will look out for you, I will pursue your office goals. But if you don’t, I will get another job, You will miss me, and I will laugh at you.

Let the travels begin!

Friday, January 16th, 2009

I love travelling. Exploring a new place is always full of adventure. You come back from the trip with new ideas. It almost like your mind expands with every new travel.

I start this year’s travels with a short weekend trip to Princeton, NJ.

I am right now waiting for my flight.
