The Guardian
I watched the movie "The Guardian" over the weekend.
This movie had some very good dialogues.. And here are a few I liked.. (ripped from IMDB)
Jake Fischer: You do *not* want to hear about my day.
Emily Thomas: Yeah, I do.
Jake Fischer: Man, this guy Randall, you know, it doesn't matter what I do. It's just not good enough.
Emily Thomas: Maybe he's just trying to push you to be better. We teachers do that to the ones we believe in.
Jake Fischer: No, it's personal with me. He's knows that I'm better then he was. I mean, today I broke every one of his records. I owned them all.
Maggie McGlone: Not all of them. There's one record you won't break.
[takes a picture off the wall]
Maggie McGlone: This is 'The Aegis'. Medical ship. Caught on fire. It was a nightmare; people burning in their beds. And Ben Randall got every one of those people out of there, except for this one guy. And right when the ship started to go down, he reaches down and grabs this guy. He's hanging from the cable with this man's life in his hands, and the winch jams. It's twenty minutes to the base. The man's screaming, but Ben looks him dead in the eye, and do you know what he said? He said "I won't let go."
Emily Thomas: What happened?
Maggie McGlone: Dislocated his shoulder, tore every tendon in his hand, but he didn't let go. Twenty minutes, just fingertips. You break that record, and you give me a call.
Jake Fischer: ...My day was alright.
Jake Fischer: Hey, I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier about you being old and washed up.
[Ben nods]
Jake Fischer: ...Is there anything you'd like to say to me?
Ben Randall: Like what?
Jake Fischer: I don't know, I apologized to you, I just thought that, you know, there might be something you've said or done that you'd like to apologize to me for...
Ben Randall: Why?
Jake Fischer: Cause...that's how's it's done, I...you suck at apologizes.
Billy Hodge: We go to "A" School, which is the most difficult school in the military. The attrition rate's like...what is it, 50 percent?
Jake Fischer: 50 percent.
Billy Hodge: Over 50 percent. We're still here. Cause we're the best of the best. When storms shut down entire ports, you know who goes out? Uh, we do. When hurricanes ground the US Navy, guess who goes out! That's right, we do!
Bartender: Look honey, you'd better keep it down in here.
Billy Hodge: Okay, honey.
[to Jake]
Billy Hodge: She called me 'honey'!
[to the bartender]
Billy Hodge: Okay, honey! But when God himself reaches down from heaven...What does he do, Jake?
Jake Fischer: [trying not to laugh] Rips houses off the foundations.
Billy Hodge: When God himself rips houses off the foundations, we go out! Because we are rescue swimmers, and that's what we do.

This Day .. That Year!
Chandra Gupta Maurya's period was India's Golden era, Patni days were mine!
I love Patni for...
The best friends it gave me, whom I would treasure for life
Every single moment I spent at work
Every single request I solved
Every single mail that I sent from the production support id
Every single chat line I typed on sametime
Every single call I made from the link line
Every single mapping, report and service I created
Every single saturday and sunday spent at work running those narrowcaster services
Working on four projects at a time and winning an award for the same
Every single night spent at work fire fighting for the project which was out of schedule
Every single night spent sleeping on the conference room's round table during the MSTR production move
Every single appreciation mail which I recieved from our onsite coordinators
Teasing Hari and Johnson and Fighting with Karthikeyan
Time spent on 11th floor cafeteria with Rajee, Jayanthi and Hari
"Comedy of Errors" and the "Lived Happily Ever After" story of Jayanthi and Anand
Mani anna's Coffee and hot bajjis
Lunches with hot jalebis at Dhaba Express
Fight with Hariharan on rumors regarding his marriage
My attitude towards Hariharan on his first day in Chennai
Dinner at Palki during Hariharan's visit and all the fun we had clicking photos
Dinner at The Park and the "Charles Angels" movie with Vincent and team.
Mumbai visit for project transition
Calling a project manager as "Phokat" over chat, who later took over our project in Mumbai after transition.
All those sweet stupid chats on sametime with Ankur.
Every single tear I shed when I decided to resign
Every single promise we made to keep in touch
I have had my worst days too.. But I still treasure them.. coz people around me always made me feel special. I was too lucky to have had such a great team.
What makes this day even more special is that I joined Patni on Sept 30th 2002 and left on Sept 30th 2004. And the memories of those two years will remain forever fresh....
Four years passed !! And I am still missing it .. and I am still loving it!!
I love Patni for...
The best friends it gave me, whom I would treasure for life
Every single moment I spent at work
Every single request I solved
Every single mail that I sent from the production support id

Every single mapping, report and service I created

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.
Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Irregardless
I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
How I loved you with all my heart
Until we had to part
Oh how you broke my heart
Now I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
I used to wish that you would stay
Even just for another day
Now I'm glad you didn't stay
Cause I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
I have gotten over you
Now I can say that's true
I no longer love you
And I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
Yeah I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
No now that's no more
