As You Like It
// January 5th, 2006 // Bangalore, Life, People, Ranting
- I used to think that I’m not a very good friend in that I never stay in touch with old friends. Whenever I move to a new place, I make new friends and forget the old ones but maybe I’ve changed with time. Whatever. These days I often wonder where my school friends might be. In the past two months, I have managed to get in touch with four old friends. I found three of them on Orkut and one found me through NamesDatabase. And it feels good to know how much has happened in their lives. I last met one of them 14 years ago (which means I was only 10 then). And the best part is that she lives close by in Chennai and might visit Bangalore soon.
- I haven’t written anything about Bangalore’s roads recently but that doesn’t mean that nothing’s happening. So first the high court appointed an expert committee that inspected the roads and reached the conclusion that the roads were of poor quality. Well, duh? Even a child can tell you that. Later, BMP (Bangalore Mahanagar Palike) decided to paint the lane marks on the roads with a high quality expensive paint that shines at night, which is good. But then they went ahead and claimed that the paint will last for 2 years. Now! If only they could explain how this could ever be possible given that the roads these are being painted on won’t last even 2 months. What a waste!
- I have finally found a good gym near my home. Its large, has all the modern equipment, it’s new so not too crowded, the rates are reasonable and it even has lockers. In short, it’s perfect. But I haven’t made up my mind yet and I can’t think of an excuse for not joining it. So help me out.
- I think a girl who has recently joined the company likes me. She has given me “the smile” and “the look” several times in the cafeteria. Now I may be wrong. Maybe she smiles and “looks” at everyone. Who knows? I didn’t really like her at first but the fact that she may like me has made me start liking her little bit. Once I was waiting for the elevator to go to the first floor and when its door opened, she was the only one inside it. I thought she’ll get off (cos I work at the topmost floor of the building) and when she didn’t, I tried to ask her the reason by a brow pop (great start!). She said “ahh…actually…” and pointed down with her hand and by this time I was in the elevator, its door had closed and it was obvious that she wanted to go down as well so she just stopped explaining. For the next 20 or so seconds, there was awkwardness and silence and then I got off on the first floor. Heh. So what should I do now? I think I’ll do what I always do. Ignore the signs till they go away.

tell me abt the gym NOW!
Don’t think twice about the gym. Not qualified enough to comment on the girl. Instinct, however, would say, “Go for it!”
So falling in love !! danger ahead..
but if you still wanna go then
first, ask if she is taken or free
second, ask her out…most of the time when you directly do step no 2 the you get the answer of step 1 as well.
(still, take care)
me again…
forgot to say that, it is always a bad idea to go steady with someone from your work place.
Good Luck
(sorry for playing the devil’s advocate)
a friend and i are thinking of joining a gym. the place has babysitting, so i can go during the daytime while hubby’s at work.
i hear you about roads. the roads here in Pennsylvania are AWFUL! out of the fifty states, we’re ranked in the bottom five. You would think that it cant really be that hard to keep roads nice– but it never happens.
I agree with greensatya…but what is life without risks and challenges… go for it!
Title coiped from me!!
and Satay got a new pic.
Now reading the post
yaar, I have a lot of experience with girls. But you know these past 8 months have so drilled one thing in my mind that I can’t help but saying ” I am the person you were looking for your needs. I say so because of the 24 years of my life built up a huge general exp databse. Out of which six years were dedicated totally towards a mission called: girls. I’ll charge only a reasonable amount for my services”.
@akanksha: Its close to my place not urs!
@vinaya: I am somehow not cinvinced abt joining a gym
//Not qualified enough to comment on the girl.
and what qualification would that be?
@greensatya: Hey, I never knew you were a space cowboy!!
//most of the time when you directly do step no 2 the you get the answer of step 1 as well.
ha ha. I guess you’ve had such an experience. But i’m not falling in love. I might like her and she might like me, thats it! Remember the song “Crush” by the one song wonder, Jennifer Paige.
I know its a bad idea to mix work with personal life which is why i’m gonna let it go.
@becky: Thats great. I wonder how many gyms here offer babysitting.
@lucio: I’m all for risks and challenges but i can’t risk anything for something that might just be a product of my imagination.
@yogi: Actually, I copied the title from a play by somebody called Shakespeare and I think you might have copied it from the same place. Seriously, I didnt copy your title intentionally
//I am the person you were looking for your needs…I’ll charge only a reasonable amount for my services//
I’m speechless, really. *dumbfounded*
Watch out Raj! Tread Carefully!
The awkward silence is an indication of something brewing…… or… is it??
Freak out ‘coz finally life is “As u like it” though not always!!
Rashmi.
Hi man thats great news.Go ahead take a chance but with some care.
@rashmi: Oh, I am careful perhaps too careful for my own good. Thanks for dropping by.
@aravind: Okay, i’ll take stock of the situation once more before making a decision.

Names data base a farce
A friend of mine got in touch with me recently through namesdatabase.com .We were meeting after 14 long years !!!. Even though i am an extrovert i have had very few friends close to heart.This person is very special and a dearest friend to me for many reasons even though the fact remains that we knew were together for just one year and that too as children in school. Our joy knew no bound or limitations as we met with memories to cherish( and will do so ever for lifetime).We spoke about namesdatabase.com repeatedly and are sure that this website has helped us to experience one of the most memorable and rare moment in life.
Why don’t you show BAD opinions about this shit? It is the most stoopid site i’ve ever seen. I HAVE to send the link to 5 people? Come on….to make your game? Full of spyware and viruses, and after that people ask them selves where from come all that shit? No Way!!! DON’T SEND THIS LINK TO ANYONE!!! Fuck this site!!!! And only people with accounts can say something about this site? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hey everyone isn’t this site the pits i mean it is not interesting at all and the thing is i can’t even find my fucking school. and it keeps asking you stupid questions..enter this many ppl and you get to advance…shit i just wanna know how i can get my fucking name outta this shit????
i just want to say the namesdatabase sucks and keeps spamming me
dont know about others who couldn’t find their friends on namesdatabase.com and writing shit bout the site, i am really pleased with the site and the way they work. I found one of my best friend through this site and it was really amazing as i was looking for her for a long time.Cant thank enough to namesdatabase.Keep up the good work Thanks a million

hi,u guys out there
iam looking for a school friend
from cape town.
her name is KIM CARELSE
WE LOST CONTTACT
I just found that namesdatabase.com is the biggest pile of poo ever. if you enter an email address it tells you it’s unreachable then when you enter it again it says that it has already been told but it doesn’t take it off the 24 names you should be supplying. So they basically CON you into submitting your whole address book and give you nothing in return.
I hate this website, the names data base. What a load of crock…
System is too difficult to access. I wanted to try to get a name for a orb. of a relative. I needed it in a hurry. Too much crap to go through.

OK this is shitty they charge me $12 for a website that don’t work. I unlocked my account then i tried to send somebody a message and it says it’s no longer exist.!!! who ever made shit better fix it..shit this is a pile bull shit.!!!!!
I AM SORRY I HAVE A PROBLEM THAT I CAN NOT SEND ANYBODY MAIL
IT SAY’S THE PAGE DOES NOT EXIST.
I DO NOT THINK THAT IS FAIR
Bewarw of any site that doesn’t reveal a phone number for contact. Also, do not pay the 12.00 to unlock. They have billed me twice for the same account- and they won’t respond to my emails when I ask them to not renew my account when my year is up. Live and learn.
http://www.namesdatabase.com is a part of a large Spaamer Group, Promoting and mailing Unsoliciated SPAMS
Why do you Guys Promote these kind of Unethical Websites,
i like very much the site`s impression and effort towords connecting the world and peoples.but i`m still trying to understand myself better as i read one of the columns contain in this site which i`m yet to comment from my own experience.

I paid $12.00 for Namesdatabase and within 2 hours I was back in touch with not one but two friends I have not talked to in 30 years. It was just that easy and worth every bit of that $12.00. Thanks so much for your sight. I thought I lost these friends forever. It was just amazing!!
