this is yet another excerpt from one of the forward mails which i received today... The content is...


THESE ARE ENTRIES TO A WASHINGTON POST COMPETITION ASKING FOR A TWO-LINE
RHYME WITH THE MOST ROMANTIC FIRST LINE, BUT THE LEAST ROMANTIC SECOND
LINE:


My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife:
Marrying you screwed up my life.

I see your face when I am dreaming:
That's why I always wake up screaming.

Kind, intelligent, loving and hot:
This describes everything you are not.

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you:
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.

I want to feel your sweet embrace:
But don't take that paper bag off your face.

I love your smile, your face, and your eyes :
Damn, I'm good at telling lies!

My love, you take my breath away:
What have you stepped in to smell this way?

My feelings for you no words can tell:
Except for maybe "Go to hell."

I want to spend my lifetime loving you...

This is my yet another most favorite English song of all time. soooo pleasant.. silky but strong lyrics... Just mind blowing ... Have given the lyrics also...


Moon so bright, night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming

Race the moon, catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day, stand up for the light

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life i ever do

Heroes rise, heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can't you feel the glory?

Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance the dance with me

I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life i ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If i can spend my lifetime loving you

Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again

Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay

stumbled upon this question...

I got a question from the newly joined fresher in our team. It was very very simple. but i answered it wrongly. so just thought of asking u ppl. This is not a rocket science question. just a basic SQL statement. One White-Forest Pastry is waiting for those who answer this question correctly. Post your answers in the comments.

Q.:
What will be the output of the following SQL statement:
select Employee_Name from Employee_Details where Employee_ID NOT IN (select Employee_ID from Position_Details);

Following are the values in the two tables..

Employee_Details






Employee_IDEmployee_NameManager_ID
1Lawrence Ellison(NULL)
2Safra Catz1
3Charles Phillips1
4Tony Kender3


Position_Details:



Position_NameEmployee_ID

CEO(NULL)
CFO1


Waiting for giving away that pastry to you....
And small note:
> please use your SQL knowledge only(you can use google). it would be great if u dont execute this stmt in a database and give me the answer.
> you need to give me the explanation on how u arrived at that answer
> its purely your choice to follow the above notes. But i always follow it.

Have fun...

Here's a big clue...

5 things eSpecial about last Weekend..

Posted by redthil On 7/07/2008 10:50:00 AM

Being an IT Professional in this Computer Era, got very much used to prefix "e" in all the possible words in english.. not able to recover from that mania. thats just small note about the title. let me add more meaning to it. i recently read a quote which goes like this, "no day is an unimportant day". But last two days, indeed was more special to me in many things. but tried to consolidate it into 5 major events/happenings/moments/u can call it however u want. Here's the countdown...

5. Being at my Bangalore house in weekend.

The weekends in whole June was really busy one. Attending Marriages, going out with friends, visiting home and lot more. So, after One and Half months, i enjoyed being at my bangalore home. Adding to that, the office work load was little more last week. It was like going for a vacation. Enjoyed watching few children in my street playing "7Stones", pleasant morning walks, n lot more.. to put in short, complete relaxation.

4. Watched few of my all time fav movies.

Though there's laptop, nothing can beat watching our favorite movies in TV. Watched ICE AGE 2 twice, Mask of Zorro, The Blind Dating, etc. Also happened to watch many of my favourite weekend programs in History Channel after very very very looong time. This was like chocolate sauce added to vanilla ice cream.

3. Dramatic Formula 1 British Grand Prix.

Moving to sports, last two days has been filled with lot of sporting actions. And India - Srilanka Asia Cup finals was my least priority one. Watched that match during the Ad breaks while watching Formula 1 British Grand Prix. This whole GP was so dramatic, right from the practice sessions on friday , till the post-race interview. During saturday's Qualifying, a small mistake from Hamilton caused his pole-position dream on his home country. And the qualifying was so amazing that in the Q3, after the checquerd flag waved, there were four different drivers who changed the pole position timings. Finally, it was Hekki, who hold on and went for pole-position in Sunday's Race. Hamilton managed to start from the second row, along with Raikkonen. And the most dramatic one was from Massa, who met with a huge crash and he couldnt recover from that, even in the Sunday's Race. And moving to Sunday's Wet Race, Hamilton took the lead with a fantastic start in the first lap and continued to race at his best. none could challenge his lead, except Kimi who was unlucky by the poor Ferrai pit-stop strategy. At the end, Hamilton was able to Lap all the cars in the track, except the podium finishers. Amazing Drive by Hamilton. A well deserved victory for him and his childhood dream came true. Adding to the drama is the usual unpredicted change in weather at Silverstone. (For few, this may look like greek and latin. But bear with me ppl.. even the next is going being to be something similar to this.)

2. Nail biting Wimbledon Finals.

The whole world was waiting for such a match, a match between No.1 and No.2 of the Tennis World. Match between Federer and Nadal. The same was the case for past 2 years. But all these years, Federer was dominant in grass. But this year, after the blown away defeat in Roland Garros, i think Federer was little worried. He was going for the 6th consecutive Wimbledon Title and Nadal was going for his dream. And Federer's worst nightmare came true when Nadal was leading the match with 2 sets with him, going to the third set. Federer was shouting, screaming, nervous in both the sets. Then came the turning point in the match (in my opinion), an intervention by the rain. i was so happy to see the words "Play suspended due to rain" for the first time when Federer is playing. Federer prepared himself mentally and came back strong , once the play resumed. from then onwards, it was just amazing tennis from both of them. for every point , both were playing as if the opponent has championship point. Tremendous power from Nadal's Forehand and smooth slices from Federer's Backhand. i literally could not sit and watch the match. I was walking in-front of the TV, biting my nails. And the amazing thing is that they were playing asif they are playing the first set, i mean with the same level of energy, even in the final (fifth) set after 4:30 hours of play on court. This is probably the best tennis match i ever watched till now. I really feel so bad for Federer, but hats off for Nadal.

1. emotional adieu.

This is for one of my frenz who left Bangalore for pursuing higher studies in US. No more words to describe. And i rate this as the most important moment of all. have never told u ( i dont think i have to, but still)- "Wherever u go, whatever u do, our friendship will never let u down..."
-The End-
