SNAFU

I was scouting the various newspapers at office after having lunch. My eyes caught this word "SNAFU" mentioned in one of the articles. The word looked a bit familiar to me and I remembered coming across this word somewhere and it wasn't a normal word. As the adage goes, curiosity kills the cat, I came back to my cubicle and googled for the word. The moment I saw its expansion, I knew where I heard it, but what surprised me was the etymology of the word. The below two links give interesting and hilarious information about the word.

Wonder how many would feel SNAFU everyday in their life?

Google Earth and Moon

If you thought all those GPS technology that was extensively used in "Enemy of the State" was all smoke and mirror, its time you change that opinion. Check out the latest of the releases from Google's Beta programs, the Google Earth and Google Moon. Seeing is believing. So see'em all!

On a positive note

The mind is already racing and in its peak while the body is just stirring up to face another day. Commands and controls are fired all over. The list is made and re-made and re-sorted. Priorities are assigned and re-assigned. It all ends up in one big conundrum, but clarity in chaos is still sought. The plan is walked through a million times, before the show begins. But as the show starts, more chaos sets in. Mr. Murphy lurking around the corner, waiting for the perfect opportunity, sees it coming all the time, always his way. Things go haphazard and desperate attempts are made to set things right. The dust appears to settle down, while the sun already starts to set in. The day has just gone by and those precious hours of the day spill well over into the night.

What went wrong? The task was no Herculean one. It was all there, the sequence and the steps. It would've been a walk in the park to blindly follow the steps. Appeared to be a no-brainer, till it actually ate the very brain.

Poor Maawli looked lost. He had it all ready and it was well executed in his mind, but things got out of his hand when the show started. It wasn't like Maawli was just fooling away. He has his reasons; there were unexpected and unprecedented stymies that had to be crossed to accomplish the task. For no fault of his, apart from the fact that he was responsible for the task, he bore the brunt of one and all.

But the brighter side of the gloomy turn of events is always bound to ensue. Maawli did pull off a decent show inspite of the hurdles. And it is this end result that casts a shadow of satisfaction and hope removing the darkness of errors. Today could've been a day that did not go well, but the lessons learnt will save another such day, lest it should go astray.

As Maawli lets his mind slip into the silence of the night, the back of his mind already preps up for the sprint starting again at the dawn of the next day. The mind is convinced that the next day would be a positive day (just like today).

While I am waiting...

..I game on yahoo

..I "Stumble Upon" on interesting websites (and sometimes blog about them too)

..I clean my Inbox and organize my mails (sometimes the Thrash too!)

..I stare at the monitor and wonder, "How did calligraphy became more popular? Was it because of really writing rolls of scripts or was it the fonts I see on my monitor? Maybe, Steve Jobs would be able to tell better!

..I start dreaming about watching a cool movie in the night (thankz to my excellent ability to day dream!)

..I blog (Gosh that shld've been on top of the list)

and if I don't do any of these things, I end up..

WAITING.....
