Spellchecker - My real enemy

Hey people,

Today I am writing something which is troubling me from very long time in my heart. Its my "Written English".
I am not sure how many of my friends know I suck in written English. It could be grammar, spelling mistake, sometime using wrong word... this list goes on and on....

Firstly, I started my journey of learning English in my school day (its not LKG or UKG, but its my 6th grade). I learnt alphabets and framing 3-4 letter words in 6 & 7 grade. When I moved to Hight School, it became nightmare. It was one of the tough subject I faced. Somehow I graduated from high school even without knowing much english.

Later joined college, with friends also used to speak Kannada. When my professors write something on board I remember I use to read word by word. Forgot to mention, my 11th and 12th grade were in English medium. Graduated from pre-university college and joined Engineering.

This is place which made me realize that "English" language is very important. Just an year before my graduation I started my preparation to learn everything about the language. My friends taught me grammar, tenses, when to use "is", "was" etc etc. Somehow with god grace by end of graduation I was able to speak some broken English.

When I joined Mahindra Satyam as a Software Engineer, work place taught me how to speak in English. I am sure, I am so much better in spoken english than I write it.

From past few months, I started writing blogs, essays and realized that " I am so bad at writing English". Let me put it this way - " I am not at all improved in my written English". The major reason for all this is Computers.



When ever i feel like writing something, I type it in Mircosoft Word or in some website. These application(word, browsers) are programmed to correct spellings if any. When I started my career as programmer, I used to pick spelling suggestion  from the computer to correct my spelling and without my knowledge it became a habit. Now I can't write on paper or type on any computer tool which not support spell check, because which make me uncomfortable.This uncomfortable feeling is fear of mistakes, which paper can't highlight or my mind either.

Now its time to put an end to this excuse. I decided try hard to improve my written english and want to feel myself good. I seek all my friends help in achieving this.

Last by not the least, I thank all my friends who made me realize this. And special thanks to "Girl" who always correct me then and there when ever i make any mistake.

P.S: Any spelling or grammatical mistakes please ignore.

Cheers,
Vijendra

Super Speciality Hospitals - Are they misleading the Doctors they hire?

Hey ppl,

How are you ? Today i am here to share my latest  doctor visit experience here in Bangalore.

Bangalore is a great city and very famous for its weather. Bangalore weather is ways awesome but its unpredictable and its been too cold these days. I usually use my bike to go to office. Riding the bike in the cold, sudden change in the weather and  I got sick.  I was feeling uncomfortable last thursday (21 Jan 2011) and I knew that i am going to get Fever. As expected i got fever on Thursday night. My health was not bad on friday morning so that i can skip my work, but it started becoming worst after when i was working at my office. So decided to take 'Off' and visit the doctor.

I told my manager about my health and directly headed to hospital (One of the Famous). I met this doctor who was in mid age(I guess some 10 years exp),  relaxing at his office (no patients). When I entered his office,

Me - Hi Doctor, I am Vijendra. How are you?
Dr. - Hi Vijendra. Whats your problem? (What else can you expect from a doctor).
Me- Hey i am sick, I am not feeling so good.

The conversation went on… He asked me some unnecessary questions like, do you live with friends? Do you work? Do you have insurance? etc. I told him, I stay with my parent, work in bangalore and I am insured. When i was describing my symptoms, i told him that "i am having throat pain". He took a look at it and he said

Dr. - Hey Vijendra you are having some serious problem. You may need to get admitted to hospital immediately. 
Me - What?? What happened to me? 
Dr. - You are having some infection in your throat which may lead to Pneumonia (I don't know how they are related)
Me - Really? But i am having this pain from morning. 
Dr. - See you have to trust me, call your mom or dad, tell them to come here. You join now.

I tell you guys it was like someone forcing you to go to movie. After a minute pause, i answered him

Me - Doctor, do you have any Targets? I mean financially ?
Dr. - What? Enu heltha idira? (What are you taking?)
Me - Ade sir, immediate agi admit agu antha idiralla adakke kelide.. (You asked me to admin immediately, so i am guessing something is wrong)

The fight went on and on. Finally I left hospital with some dugs which the doctor prescribed me to take for a day (He was expecting me to get admitted next day). I didn't take the medication he prescribed, instead i took "Crosin" and I felt really good by morning.

This happened with me, I am fine since i did some google after i am back home and found nothing wrong with me. What about the uneducated people who come to these hospitals, these people will little rob them.

I am still thing about the solution for it, what we can do to stop all this crap, is these some awareness we can bring among the general public?

Feel free to comment.

Yours,
Vijendra

My place, My Bangalore - Namma Bengaluru

Hi everyone, Very Happy New Year!!!


Its been a while i was thinking to write this post about my place i.e. Bengaluru (Bendakaaluru--> Bangalore--->Bengaluru). Its been two months since I am back to India, i did observe a allot of changes around here. I will try to put my opinions here [Its completely personal]. 


As you already guessed whats my first topic, Traffic, yup it is. But this time i am feeling really good about the changes happened in traffic system here. Lots of improvements happened and more required too.But much better compare to couple of years. Firstly, traffic monitoring through cameras. It makes police life so easier, i use to feel pity on these police constables who can't catch any violated vehicles on the road but still need to stand in hot sun or rain or chilled weather. Now, you violate rule you will get your fine directly to registered address by mail. If you don't respond to it, you get warning letter followed by arrest warrant.  


However I am not saying there is no cops on the road, even now they catch you if make any moving violation but no more paper receipts or bribe,  they are advanced in technology, its Blackberry. They will ask your vehicle number, you name, your DL number. thats it, they will print the receipt from the wireless printer which they have with them. It gets print instructions from the blackberry in which the police officer enter the fine details or violation info. Which is recoded against your DL number for future reference.

Lets park traffic for a while and talk about other things, like malls, restaurants . In two years there are around 5 new malls opened here. Each one is complete different from other. New restaurants like taco bell, Shiok, Papa John's … Yummy yummy food.Still I didn't get time to visit any of these malls but I had once in Taco Bell. 


Rental Cars are now available in Bangalore, if we are planning for any long trips why to waste miles in your won car, get a rental cars.. I heard about it, I don't have much info about it. Planning some trip this Jan, let me use this service.


Thats all for now, i really don;t want to bore you people… 


Take care.


Fell free to comment. Your comments all matter for me to write a new post.

Hurt

Hey ppl, how are you? I started blogging from few months. I am not so good at it. But i try my best to share some feelings of mine.

When we say the word "HURT" it mostly applies to our closed ones. I was thinking from long time why we get hurt and make someone hurt. The major reason behind this is expectation. It could be from your parents, friend, relatives, or your gal/boy.

From my experience, for boys/men when they get hurt they drink(if they have a habit of drinking) else mood off,  they want to stay alone, specially away from the person from whom they got hurt.

When it comes to gals/women, its very simple they start CRYING… of course the only weapon they have with them. They get hurt most of the time in a day itself (they expect allot)

If you have a girlfriend then, i bet in a week she got hurt mostly from you(They think we won't understand them better, so we always hurt them). One thing they don;t realize is if we come to know she is hurt, we feel bad, that too its from us, we feel worst….

I don't know why i am saying all this, but this is my message, gals please understand even we have heart, we have eyes so we get tears, we always think 1000 times before we say something because, we want to make sure it will not hurt you….

Finally We can easily overcome this bad feeling if not  at least we can reduce its amount. All we need to do is, stop expecting. We get hurt only if we expect your friend to send one forward  or at least a message daily, your parents will ask your problems every time when you come home in late night, your close friend call you for some important moments of life etc etc.

PS: Love (GF/BF) is excluded from the list.

Feel free to comment.

Srikara - Miss you..

This is Srikara, my best pal when i was in USA. When ever I go to Middle Town i use to visit his home. He is so cute, so adorable, intellegent, very selective while talking to people. He is 4 years old and use to imitate me lot of time... When ever i go in front of him, he use to give a cute smile, i don't know how much that cost :) .  He always sits on my lap, and talk to me in Dharavad Kannada. This blog is just to say...

"SRIKARA, I MISS YOU.... "

Raajneeti Movie Review

Hi ppl, How are you doing ? Its been little long I have logged into my blog site. Its time to write my next blog. Anyway today I was browsing my Netflix account (www.netflix.com) and found Raajneeti movie is available for Instant play. So planned to watch it on this boring weekend. 

Movie is a good time pass. One of the movie where i have seen hell of politics. In addition, here are few observation/ suggestions

1. Never hookup with old people. If so you will suffer  ( For Nikhila Trikha ) 

2. Don't try to become a political leader if you are a good Kabadi player ( For Ajay Devagan )

3. To be politician you should be in India, you can't just come to India from US once in a year and change it. (For Ranbir Kapoor )

4. Don't get your US girlfriend to India, she will die. (For Ranbir Kapoor )

5. I am not sure, how ppl will support a party where every leader is from the same family. (To Story Writer)

6. Please don't kill everyone in the movie to make a girl Chief Minister. ( To Story Writer and Director )

Lastly

7. Kingfisher Airline is not an International Airline which go to US from india.  (For Director )

I guess, my review is funny. If you don't feel so, I am sorry, its not my problem. 

Take care. cya
