'On the off chance that you aren't an orc and you're reading this, let me help you unravel some of the more obtruse utterances contained in this document with some choice hints. For example, what we call 'striking the deal' involves er.. striking a great deal hard. As for who or what the customers we refer to are, we call them what we call them cos stomachs is what they fill. Go, figure. At least in the few moments you have before we strike the deal.If you are an orc, and you happen (...)'

Software In Time

'“I write software.”“Soft wear? Is this some new fangled form of clothing that does not itch like the devil in the summer heat? May I have some?”It was at this point that the enormity of the task that I was facing struck me. Or I thought it did, but the enormity of my miscalculation would only be revealed much later of course.“But how can you write clothes? Do you mean you draw patterns that tailors stitch?” he made a sharp flicking gesture with his hand, which I took to refer to the(...)'

'It's funny how when somebody asks you to do something as soon as possible, when you'll actually do it depends on how the sentence is phrased.For example, while the uncontracted form as soon as possible accompanying the call to action implies a certain accommodation in deference to your schedule, the contracted form of the same expression ASAP! implies an undue exigency entirely unwarranted by the presence of the acronym itself.So I dug deeper into this fascinating phenomenon, and it(...)'

'FOREWORD: Although I wrote this in a blinding hurry for a competition, I think I'm onto a good idea here. :) So far though, I've never managed to rework a story so that road looks like a dead end. But never say never, eh?  NOTE: If you'd rather read the .doc here's the link.  It started off as another day; gloomy for the most part, but with occasional periods of blazing sunshine. Mother certainly was her usual self; humming and bustling around, pausing to shout pas(...)'

The Script

'For a really long time, I believed The Script was this fat, filthy rich dude who always wore white, open-neck tuxedoes and drove around in bullet proof cars, who all the ladies listened to because he bought them jewellery or something. That they all called him The Script and not Mr. Script, Sir Script or god forbid, just Script was a mark of respect, of course. Like calling somebody 'The Man'. You the man!'

On Writing Poetry

'I am able no longer- to juxtapose these words into coherenceThe implications, they strike me into rumination.Peradventure, that which diminishes- is my capacity for remembrance.Peradventure, that which lies beyond me- is this lexicon, and its discernment.Or, these faculties, do they unravel?- the mind, does it perceive it's own end?The hour of my leavetaking, it's finally upon me.Perhaps, like how the teeming millions of its fans keep insisting that you only need to have it once mor(...)'

How many TMTs maketh a man(ager)?

Author : Abhinav      Blog : A Hodgepodge of Hodges and Podges...      Date : 11/30/2011 2:54:00 PM

'I've taken to rating everyone I talk to on a TMT scale: <5 TMTs/hour is young adult fiction, i.e. doesn't happen.5-10 TMTs/hour is tolerable and unfortunately commonplace.10-50 TMTs/hour is irritating but falls short of inducing murderous rages, but probably only because your manager clocks in at about 45.Anything more is well, dangerous for both parties. If it's this high though: It's either the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or somebody you shouldn't talking to even if(...)'
