Not sure if the word oddity exist, but taken the liberty any ways! The end of the year and a beginning of a new one is a time for self reflection. Mostly its not a conscious feeling. Me for one have never given thought of what happened during the course of the year but somehow wanted to write about 3 odd things that occured during the last year.
1: Modern Teleportation!
The scientific definition of "Teleportation" is disapperances and appearances of anomolies basically science of disappearing and appearing instantaneously. We have not quite managed to master this field and as of today it is scientifically impossible to teleport humans.
But this year I witnessed the modern teleportation techniques. People being in two places at the same time. There was no hi-fi technology or any hardware costs. You can be in office during the weekend as well as in the movie watching the unwatchable or be at home sick as well as in McD's enjoying a hot burger, from having lunch with a friend who never existed...All it takes is a foxy mind, a bluntly told lie and an audience dumb as a dimbo..easy ain't it...
2: Come let's Recycle!
Everyone was pitching for last year with the environment summit in Cophenhagen etc etc and the "blokes" here didn't want to be left far behind. In fact, the zeal was so much so that their half drunk coffee was religiously offered to another friend as if it were just freshly brewed from Brazil. Little did the hero of our story know that he was part of a scientific research on recycling. Anyways he showered nice adjectives at the recycling scientist and left the place happy and contented.
To the hero: Don't trust anybody dude !
To the scientist: Grow up kiddo !
3: From dish washer to Super cook !
I must confess that a couple of years back my culinary skills were limited and being the gourmet that I am was a bit worried about the future of my belly. Luckily I had some great house mates and was taken care of in a way that befits a Royal ! However over the past few months I have seen the gradual rise of the unknown soldier. All my hidden talents gushing to all parts of my brain..and there I was, the new "ME" from the realms of "dish washing" to "super cooking". With a wee bit of liberty I think I have kind of got a hang of things now and guys who are out there back home, whenever you come, there's a big shock awaiting your way !
However mutton curry, mutton biriyani,Dal Makhani and Avial will never be cooked as a mark of respect to Vineet, Junaith, Pooja and Sowmya respectively...Cullinary Ethics you see :-)

- About me? Thinking about it, describing yourself is such a difficult task and I am puzzled how some guys out there do it so seamlessly. I am what you can call a “Yours Ordinary Programmer” and come from an already overwhelming group of people calling themselves the “IT Guys". So here goes my space mostly with things I don't know why I wrote in the first place. For those who feel it is non-sense thanks for your patience and for those who feel its quite good thanks for sticking your neck out "Be the change you want to see" Cya, Sri
