O pen up…

Hi,

From Danger’s Den to No Second Thoughts to Passing Thoughts to O pen up, my blog journey has been rather exciting. I had different reasons for shifting sites each time, but this time the reason is blocking of Indiatimes blogsite by my great office which follows BS7799 standards to the dot in spite of having employees like me who do not even know that the full form of BS is ‘British Standard’ and 7799 is a 4 digit decimal number that is neither Planck’s constant nor Avagadro number, not even Ramanujan’s 1729. To introduce myself, I am a go-getter quick in achieving my dreams (my roommate constantly teases me that when he had interviewed me for my current job as Business Analyst, I had said that ‘becoming a Business Analyst’ is my dream – a ploy I employed to fool the interviewer). People often say I am a PJ King, but I do not agree. The jokes that come out of me are not PJs, but they are QJs (Quality Jokes). One of my friends at IIT convinced me to accept that they may not be QJs, but maybe we can give them a separate title KJs (Kans’ Jokes) and whether they are painful or of good quality is upto the listener to decide. Btw, Kans was my nickname at IITM. It was Kans Mama. Since my name is KNS Srinivas, they decided to club the initials together and put a vowel in the middle to call me Kans and as Kans happens to be the great mama of Krishna, I ended up becoming Kans mama. But now, most people call me Srini. One of my ex-colleagues at TechMahindra (erstwhile MBT) called me ‘Sri Knee’ indicating that my brains lie in my knees. Well, You cannot play around with a great name like Srinivas that way. A sanskrit lecturer during my 11th had asked me if I knew the meaning of my name. When I said it is a name of ‘Lord Balaji’, he gave me a look and explained that ‘Sri’ means Goddess Lakshmi and Nivas means ‘residence’ and since ‘Lord Balaji’ has Lakshmi residing in his heart, he is called Srinivas. Oh great, I like this funda. Chalo, I have blogged enuff… Keep watching this space for more n more meaningless blogs that sure will make you read till the final dot and make you leave a comment…
