I do declare in a solemn voice ...

I have recently noticed this trend, of people deleting information from their social networking pages such as Orkut, Facebook. People have ensured that unfavourable comments and information about them written by their friends in more carefree times have been removed. This excessive anxiety has been brought about by the recent trend of recruiters checking the web for incriminating information about potential employees.

I find this tactic ridiculous and derisive. I mean, how does my social life have any bearing on how I am able to conduct myself professionally. Will my friends calling me a sad weasel make my coding skills any less efficient.

So this is a declaration to any recruiter who wants to gain ideas about my personality through my blog ... What I write here isn't who I am ... neither will the comments by my friends give you the slightest clue to my personality... And this post shall never be deleted ... And if you still have gained a negative impression about me ...then I do declare in a solemn voice ... Recruit my ass...


Le Festin .. translated

J'adore cette chanson.
Je n'ai pas écrit ce ... Mais je tiens j'avais.

Je vous donne ... Le Festin

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
But nothing worth eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly full, now I’ll probably drown
Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
For nothing worth stealing is…

Free at last; won’t be undersold
Surviving isn’t living; won’t eat what I’m told
Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning to fly
I won’t let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now underway, so…
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing this table, my new life’s begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me

A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting for me
