Search for perfect sound

Audiophile sound, what's that. If you go by theory there is too much to it. More than one can digest. Many suggestions and all points to different technical like sub 20Hz for woofer and +90dB sensitivity for speakers etc. True music lovers swear by just pure 2 channel stereo, no crossfading or acoustic caliberation. But to get a taste of how it sounds you shouldn't be listening to 128bits MP3 or lossy audio. There are contradictions, people say its very difficult to differentiate between a lossy and lossless audio unless in a closed audition or room specifically designed for audio perspective. Its true and may be not true in some cases. It depends on the type of music one is listening to. A regular Bollywood song will not make much of a difference or any songs which are Mid heavy. However, if you are listening to music which hits high and low, you can feel the difference. Turn on the volume and the lossy vs lossless starts making sense. Any music which starts paining your ...

Travelogue Ritesh marriage may-June 2014

Finally our journey started on 31st. It's fun filled and expecting a lot of surprises. We packed or luggage with plenty of snacks and were planning to keep our tummy packed through out the journey. It turned out to be a fascinating one. Called up Meru cab at around 11:30. Reached station at around 12:45. Ac was not switched on at that time so we spent some time on the platform. The seats were comparatively smaller and we're not wide enough for mili and Adi. But the euphoria was too high. Few tea vendors were moving in the compartment. Don't know how many cups we had. But the tea with snacks were fabulous. I planned it in a way that it became a picnic for us.I purposefully switched off my phone. Never intended to work or be in contact with office for the entire vacation. It's good to be switched off for some time to switch back on with full energy when back to office. I don't want to mention office as a word also now.  Got a kg of litchi at Howrah station. It was tas...

In cab and it's raining outside. I think this year rain came quite early. It's pleasant weather outside and it's too hot at deoghar. Don't know what the kids will do. All the shopping is over. Got a turtle jacket and a tee. All set to go. Tickets are booked so no tension there as well, running after TT to get a berth.  Got the new weights and the exercise bench. Really loving it. Post the work out it feels so great and elevated and it releases the stress. I am able to handle much more load and complex things quite easily. It makes a lot of difference. You feel good from within. I have started a dinosaur tale for Etu. He is fascinated by them and every night I have to tell him a section or portion of the story. I call each episode with a fancy name like "TREX chased away" or "the monster anaconda". My whole intention is make him forget the day and just listen to the story make some correlation with the past or laugh his way out. I make some funny stat...

I got my exercise bench today. The intention is to use it in the long run but let's see till when it goes. The barbell rod were a disappointment, I was expecting the bolts to be more round type but it came as  it was with me now, the old one. But still it's good. I am expecting the dumbbell sets tomorrow that will help me giving the variable weights for bench press, shoulder press and also lighter weights for side raise. I am converting my 3rd room as mini gym.  I love it, well I don't have any other place to spend money so why don't spend on something which is good and is healthy. Shopping is on full swing for Ritesh marriage. It's almost done but still something is pending like blazer. Shall I go for it, in hot summertime will be a pain. But Ritesh marriage is the last big ceremony at our home. He just ordered his camera, was watching it closely for about a month. The price kept moving up and down and finally he got it at 34k approx. I got the surprise refund of 2...

Good news. Got 30 percent hike this year. It feels good to get a fat check every month but with every passing time there is an extra responsibility that is entrusted on you and the expectation is set very high. Still fumbling with the management terminology, which Prashanth is expecting out of me. I feel he is a bit annoyed with my salary and was not expecting these numbers.  Thanks a lot Mathai for the trust and confidence in me. It was only because of him, I could have done something as good as this.  To be frank, I am not over board with this. Yes, money is important but how much. You will only feel the  need when you badly need it like medical or education. I am still very far from education but medical is not under you. Planning to get a health insurance on top of company paid. Never know when it's required. I am a simple guy, not fascinated by cloths, watches, electronics etc. Need a very small number to live. I like travelling but with small kids it's difficult. I ...

Long time no activity. Is everything all right. Yes it is. Today was a boring day, didn't wanted to work. If I recall through the monthly expense tracker we went over board. Adi broke mili's lumia screen, papa had to call prince then went to malleshwaram to get it fixed on last Friday. It still has some issue. The I got samsung duos for papa. He will have a tough time with the phone but once accustomed he will have fun. I made butter chicken last Sunday, it's becoming my signature recipe. It was wonderfully. Etu feasted on it like anything. Any way he never leaves chicken alone leg it be in any form. We were planning to chikamaglur for the weekend but it's too far away and papa and mummy will not be able to manage it. Ritesh is planning for his honeymoon. He is going to manali, and made his reservation. Mili has a problem every time she hears about honeymoon because she missed it. Well the situation was not proper during our marriage. Already a new comer to Ocwen, in pr...

Had the first mom with Prashanth. Usual expression, don't know what that guy wants. I think people as they grow up, there is a tendency to confuse things up or say things which cannot be expressed in numbers. For me if anything if cannot be expressed in numbers then it has little value. Every sentence unless quantifiable it does not means anything. The process, motivation holy shit. Just tell them clearly what needs to be done and don't back off, is all what is needed to get things moving. Observe there personal space, dont load them with tons of shit work etc. In the name of process and big management words many people are saving there work and confusing many. I know getting things in an orderly manner will help but there are better ways of expressing the same. Not just digging out a page from some book and spilling it over and let oth figure out what does that mean. It's shit. I have planned in a different way. Let me go through some document the I will put this in front ...
