Certified crazy

When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we’ll see.
No I won’t be afraid,
Oh I won’t be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin’ darlin’ stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea.
I won’t cry, I won’t cry,
No I won’t shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

And darlin’ darlin’ stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Darlin’ darlin’ stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Whenever you’re in trouble just stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me.

Linuxchix.org.in is planning for a BoF at Foss.in/2007. Runa did the poster and banner (check ‘em out!), and Vid is helping with publicity.

If you are a linuxchix, or someone who appreciates what the global linuxchix does, and want to help with the Indian linuxchix, or have any ideas, please help us on the ideas and suggestions page, and of course, be there at the BoF!

The exact time and date (its on Dec 6th) of the BoF shall be put up as and when it is decided. Stay tuned.

Quite a few people are cursing all the noise and the pollution. As is Ruby. She has been shaking with fear every time a bomb explodes in the building compounds.

Some chakri chaklis, coconut barfis, and sakkar paaraas later, I think the Diwali went quite good. But I miss those long Diwali vacations during school.

Over a cup of tea, we were pondering about anniversaries and gifts.

Boy: Anniversary – Every year, you think it can’t get any worse than this. But it always does.

There must be something strangely sacred about salt. It is in our tears and in the sea. – Khalil Gibran

I wonder how come I never had a bone fractured. Never a hand or a leg plastered.

I think I’d like one.

Akshay told me about the CodeCampMumbai a couple of days ago. It is like a barcamp, but you actually sit down and *write* code – by the end of the day, you have some cool hack / app. Isn’t that cool? (especially for lazy ones like me who keep putting things off weekend after weekend )

So, if you think you’d like to team up with someone or hack on that idea that has been in your head since ages, go ahead, register and have fun!

P.S. I’d probably hack on something Flex.. May be, use the Flex builder Linux Alpha and cook something up.

If you know of any FOSS events happening in your city, or would like to send in a report on one that happened, or, would like to see it written up on the NRC-FOSS calendar, email the details to me.

This could me the monthly LUG meetings, special lectures organized at colleges by LUGs,  or major FOSS events.

So, it drizzles again.
