of congratulations and pending bachelor and bachelorette parties :P
All these news of you guys getting engaged are definitely more than satisfying especially after all the struggle that you guys have gone through... time that we sort out the travel plans of certain individuals (read "RKD" :P)
what i understand is that this certain bugger will arrive on 19th Oct and leave on 9th/12th Oct as per the availability. he will then come back in December for 2/3 days. But then that is actually upsetting our plans that we have been trying to hatch since April. :)
let us meet to night and decide on out actionables.

Monk in me. or Mocking me ? ....(please do read)
i decided i wanna live in isolation high up on the icy Himalaya under a lemon tree...and sing a song along with the Buddhist monks....yes i wanna become a monk and.....
.and the search begin on Google.....and then i came across this beautiful article.....to all my beloved disciples......
please do go through a good one indeed......
A man is driving along the road and his car suddenly breaks down just outside a monastery. He knocks on the door, three monks greet him, and he asks, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. That night, as the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange thumping sound at the end of the corridor. He gets out of bed, walks down the corridor to a locked wooden door. From behind the door he hears the strange sound: Thump! Thump! Thump!
He returns to his bedchamber to sleep. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way.
Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery (as they do in stories like this). The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning he asks what it was, but the monks give the same reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."
The man says, "All right, all right. But I'm dying to know. If the only way I can learn about that sound is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?"
The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of beach pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk."
Such is his desperation that the man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, "I have traveled the earth and have found what you asked. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 beach pebbles on the earth."
The monks reply, "Congratulations! You are now a monk. We shall now show you the origin of the sound."
The monks lead the man to the wooden door, where one monk says, "The sound is right behind that door."
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, "Real funny. May I have the key?" The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another locked door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a locked door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another locked door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz and amethyst.
(Pause: So there are some clues: wood, stone, ruby, sapphire, emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Can you work out the punchline?)
Finally, the monks say, "This is the last key to the last door." The man is relieved no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound.
But I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk

BlackBerry says it won't compromise on security and priavacy........Thas why i love blackberry and not symbion or any other smartphones....
Toronto, Aug 3 (IANS) Responding to the ban on BlackBerry by the United Arab Emirates and Saud Arabia, device maker Research in Motion (RIM) said here Monday that it would not compromise on security and privacy of its smart phones.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of the UAE said Sunday that it would ban BlackBerry e-mail, messaging and Web services from Oct 11 as RIM smart phones send users' data to its centres overseas. Saudi Arabia has also announced to follow the UAE in banning BlackBerry.
'As a result of how Blackberry data is managed and stored in their current form, certain Blackberry applications allow people to misuse the service, causing serious social, judicial and national security repercussions,' the regulator had said last week before announcing the ban date Sunday.
Responding in a statement Monday, BlackBerry maker RIM, which is based at Waterloo near Toronto, said though UAE concerns are justified, it will not compromise the security and privacy of BlackBerry users.
'While RIM does not disclose confidential regulatory discussions that take place with any government, RIM assures its customers that it is committed to delivering highly secure and innovative products that satisfy the needs of both customers and governments,' the statement said.
'Governments have a wide range of resources and methodologies to satisfy national security and law enforcement needs without compromising commercial security requirements,' it added.
The UAE ban will also cover foreign travellers passing through Emirate airports.
BlackBerry has over 500,000 subscribers in the UAE. But the impact of the ban will be much wider as about 100,000 foreign travellers - mostly corporate honchos and business people - pass through its Dubai airport daily. Currently, BlackBerry operations in the UAE account for 3 percent of its global business.
Analysts here said the ultra-conservative UAE and Saudi Arabia are targeting the BlackBerry as its secure technology doesn't allow these governments to see people's emails.
Unlike other smart phones - iPhone 4 or Nokia - whose services are handled by local wireless operators, BlackBerry doesn't send emails over the internet. BlackBerry messages are first encrypted and securely stored on the smart phone and then sent out in encrypted manner through its own highly secure Network Operation Centre or server.
Because of its secure encryption technology, BlackBerry has been a hit with global corporates, financial institutions and governments in more than 170 countries, accounting for more than 46 million subscribers worldwide as of today. In fact, President Obama didn't give up his BlackBerry even after assuming office because of its 'security architecture.'
But since BlackBerry is losing smart phone market to Apple's iPhone 4 and Google Android devices in North America and concentrating on emerging markets, analysts think RIM will reach a compromise before the UAE ban comes into force.
Handling UAE data locally by installing network nodes could be one of the solutions, they said.
Last year also, the UAE mobile operator Etisalat had brainwashed BlackBerry users into installing a spy software in the guise of a service upgrade, forcing RIM to intervene and get it removed.
