Safety Money

"Rakhneka na,thoda 500 rs..aise safety ke liye.Emergency ke liye!!"
Correct.Rakhneka,rakhna chahie..U neva kno wen ud wana use it.
There was a time,id travel with just 10 bucks.
There was a time wen i made a trip to Bandra with 50rs,in my Ninja Turtles,fluorescent coloured,3 side opening with velcro,wallet.Had gone fr a movie and dinner thereafter.
Another movie outing in metro,with 100rs wonly.
Dunno wot ws it then?Highly positive?Oblivious of Murphy striking??Knowing nothin's gona happen?Knowin i'd neva need nethin more than wot ws reqd??
Yeah!!probb it was nothin more than being plain Stupid!!

Wot d heck is it now??I still keep only d travellin expenses.That too,it aint der if i dont kno .Only thing dat changed is,i got a better wallet with sum plastic money.Bt still..Not cool..totally not cool!!

Guess,mah laziness is getting the better of me.All it takes is a trip to d ATM...

Maine apne andar ke bacche ko ab tak maara nahi hai :D :D

Fast and furious

They are here.And they are gud.Ya...i kno..d frst thing dat evryone goes like:"u got winter in b'bay?"..well..ok bro,it aint as cold as its at ur place,bt d fact dat its indeed cold,is winter fr me.
Mah first identification of winter being a season,where u cud sleep netime of d day.Its hard gettin up.For nethn.Work doesnt evven cum newer close!!..
Wots gettin even worse for me,is dat me gettin sick.Its bad to to get sick durin winters.Guess,d sickness hits a li'l more harder.That leaves me tending to d cold,jst cant chill!!..Sad..really sad.

I Know it.!!!

I know.Me been wasting a lotta time.Not doing anything.Jst want ya to kno,dat I am aware of it,i realise that it aint gud.Just that me dont need a lesson at this point in time.Dont teach me the hard way.Jst a bit off-track,me wud be gud..
Take me thru this too.As in,i'd ofcourse work for it,bt no sessions pls.thanks in advance...:)

Kharcha hogaya:

Ppl around settling down..."insaan ko life mein settle hona maangta"..Ppl bole tho frends.Gud frends.Ek ek karke getting ringed and noosed.
Its times such as these,wherein you'd wanna have a lotta common frends to d one who's gettin married.
It brings a crowd to d venue and d contri amounts kinda cool too.I mean,face it..so many ppl gettin married at d same time,where do you think you cud get d dope to fill in d envelope!!
One gud thing,is ppl hav indeed started asking fr cash than kind..Saves the wotever little trouble it brings along :D :D
And ya,had one of d best convo on how mch to chip in fr a gud frend ki shaadi.Trust me.It was gud..U simply learn and evolve after each wedding.And get to a point where you realise to draw a line.Cmon.they are frends,they wont hold it against u :)..And I hate all those lucky basterds,who are away sum other place and can give it a miss and do away with a wish!!!.Fckers..got a easy way out..
Learnt one imp lesson last nite: '"You cant fck d JAI MALA'".....I'd rememebr dat!!..
Ok.so.ya..finally.This becums my 7th contri fr a knotty affair...Damn!!.Guys,pls kno dis.I am,and truly am,happy for ya'all.Seriosly.Jst dat,im complaining.But Im happy:)..
And so for the PAA,amongst us....Cheers to d maa and the cutie pie :) :)......

Hmmm:

Not that anyone missed it.Neither did anyone ask,as to 'y no blogs'??.well dunno..I think it ws d time.Jst cudnt get mahslef to write dem..
Been long.Nothin productive happened,not that I did anythin specific to speak about.
On 2nd thots,one reason y ppl take a break is to probb sit around and do nothih and hope sumthin comes up dat can be talkd abt.Now,all cant be me.I cant be all.When you say you taking a break,has to mean a break..Not that you go and do somethin else..No..a break means a break!!.A break from somethin means,doin nothin..
So ya,me ws indeed on one.No work,no studies,lived a short life of a vagabond.And no complaints.It ws good,i wud say...:)

Now and Then

Then
Them:Try it
Me:No
Them:One sip.nuthin happens
Me:No.
Them:Kya tu bhi.Its cool.Try it once atleast
Me:No.Nothings gona change that.I dont want it.I aint gona have it.
Them:ok.coool!!.

Now
Me:Glug glug glug glug glug..Buuurrrpp!!!

Thats me.One difference.I wud offer and ask only once to the person sitting across.That aint forcing or encouraging.Just observing table manners.And wotever the reply is:I respect it..

4 years!!..Thats all it tuk.. :) :)

General Knowledge

I dnt kno a lot of basic things.
I dnt like 'not knowing' the basic things.
I dnt like it more,wen i thought that i knew the basic things.
I dnt like it even more,wen i know that I knew very well the basic things sumtime back.
I dnt like it one bit,wen it doesn't strike me at the right time,the basicest of all the things.
I dnt like to kno that I aint smart anymore.
I dnt like it that I had to put it in a way,that it sounds as if I only used to be smart, sometime back.

It's one of those days when common sense and general knowledge stand in front of me,waiting to be recognized.

The list:Punctuation marks,figures of speech,different types of stones and their formations,layers of earth,metamorphism,plants life cycle,leaves' layers and functions,trigonometry,names of different planets in a single attempt,french revolution,boston tea party,indian history-mainly on mughals,tipu sultan and shivaji,star-delta voltages,making sambhar,calculating square root using pen and paper,...and der r obv more which aint striking me now!!....

And this is the boy who used to participate in quiz competitions in school..!!
Dont like that thought either.. :( :(

"Son ,........."

Thus,said he,quotin his father :" Son, .....".
We read a lot of celebrities crediting their successes or certain acts of theirs,that comply to the advice given by their dads.
Akshay Kumar says,"My father used to tell me, dat u dont conquer fear,sittin on a sofa"..Karan Johar said,"my father always used to tell me, to sort issues as they come".

I am sure that even mah dad has given me lots of worldly advices.Just that I dont remeber them,for me to quote'em..
I mean,why is that??It beats me!!.Why cant I recollect them?.Well,obv,not that he hasnt given me important ones,not that i havent followed them,there jst aint any reason why I dont remember!!..
I havent even grown that old to blame it on memory..
Is it because I haven't come across situations, that connects with those advices??Or is it that I refuse to acknowledge that my action or reactions to life's problems came from his ideas which I make it mine??

Are these guys,simply makin up the advices and crediting them to their dad's???

One of the many unasnwerable question,that I shoot myself with!!!..

Dear Editor to Hey All

Dear Editor,
"I wish to bring to your kind attention towards the overflowing dustbin near our society.Inspite of repeated complaints,the authorities refuse to budge.The stench becomes unbearable.And this adds on to the stray dogs rummaging thru it.It gets difficult,to walk past those roads during dark because of the dogs.
I wish, thru ur esteemed newspaper ,this lettter wakes up the authorites and they are prompted to act on this problem."

Ok.Now when was the last time u ever did this.Forget writing letters,when was the last time you ever bothered to read the 'Letter to the Editor' section of Your newspaper??.Forget reading,when was the last time you made a phone call to the authorities or beter still,visit them taking your problems.Forget your problems,when was the last time you ever felt doing a bit of socal service to the ppl by and large??When was the last time you ever did anything gud,until the problem became solely yours,where you took their case.

Tuff one.Now why wud u do dat?.When you can simply blog.When your tweets and tags gona help you ease of your cribs and rants and problems.Atleast you got a hearing.Even if that means, the problem remaining exactly where it was.
We see a new trend here.It aint nice.Your readers might sympathise,advice:now if you do that for information,then its cool,bt otherwise,it just acts as a venting and nothing more than that.
Its even frustrating when the print media does it.As in they have freelance writers,visiting writers,publish online blogs of prominent ppl or their readers.They make the issues known to all.But yes,there is a possibility if the authorities acting on it.But the chances becomes less,when they put it in a space which is more of a hilarious section,which only a sector of readers read.
Now,we had a journo complianing about the police inaction for burstin firecrackers on the road.Well.things dint go pretty well and her finishing line was "is the Mumbai Police listening"..Now if a common man pleads,its understood.,but when a journalist does dat,its not nice.I kno..She doesnt really hav to take the onus and get things done.But then,cmon,she got a space for herself in a newspaper, not to talk abt the anazing contacts she'd have.
Same goes for the outcries that we saw for the "apologies collector" ,wanting a sorry for bombay!!..It was a good read,but then all the satire on it was on blogs and articles.Wonder they read it too.Guess,they do.

Anyways,wot cud be dun.??You can do wotver you wanna,as long as you dnt offend the THACKERAYS,RANE'S,SHINDE'S and a lot more.

Guess,bloggin jst mite be one of them.As long sumone doesnt get offended..

Dogs

Slumdog came.Slumdog conquered.Slumdog Millionared!!.
Ok.So it was one of the things ,that the ppl and the country became proud of.
The movie was gud,sum related to the reality,sum liked,sum dint,but in the end it made it to the highest honour,that each movie luks forward to.

Along with it came fame,money,happiness for the cast and crew and ofcourse the real slumdogs!.
Amidst all the articles that went by about the two li’l kids which was one of the rags-to-riches dream run for these kids and the parents,the real story behind them was neva known.Neither did I kno,until,I came across this article in Reader's Digest.And hell!!,it just gets me to one thing:-It happens only in India.

Now that mite be a broad statement to make but then it’s the only country that I have ever lived in,so guess,it’s the only thing that I could say.

Ok.So the entire whining is about the kids not being taken care of by the producers..I mean,why shud dey??Why do they be under any obligations to take care of them??They paid them for their acting,that’s it.Still,the producers say: as a moral obligation we set-up a trust,and a monthly pension kinda thingie which they can avail of, provided, they finish their education.
Now that’s something that the kids’ parents didn’t want.They wanted the money NOW!!.
The best part.All this was all done and taken care of even before the film got released and least of winning the oscasrs.And there were no complaints then.The kids were put up in English medium schools and the clause of the trust were very particular about them having to complete their education.

The films success and then the Oscars screwed it up.The parents Demanded money,the kids took up ad and film assignments,not goin to school etc and then they blame the producers not taking care of them.The government is not taking care.Again,this report just came in the papers about flats being allotted by the Maha government,but there was no plans anyways!!

Again,the slum demolition added public sympathies.And the producers did ultimately give out houses to the kids.But the girl star’s dad refused saying they wanted in posh locations etc etc.The worst thing to have happened was how a reporter disguised as a Sheikh managed to BUY the girl kid from the dad.And the dad did agree on the cost of $35,000 for an Oscar kid!!.Unbelievable.!!

All said and done,an act of kindness,which was uncalled for,unneeded has cost the filmmakers a lot.But still,they have stuck up to a point sayin,"we'd do what it takes to help these kids out because “we don’t want them to feel that working with Slumdog Millionaire movie was a mistake.They should be glad that they worked with us”"

Some ppl never learn!!.Guess,its when you take a route that your heart tells you,it proves to be the costliest.You should do whats logical and ofcourse,if you really want to.Not because you THINK it might be good and its something that HAS to be done.!!

Well.Learn now.Atleast,after all this...

Bandra Fest

Had always wanted to go.
Its been there since a long time.And yes, this year was no different.In me wanting to go and me missing it. Absolutely no different.

Its like, every time I hear of the nativity, other than me wishing ppl, me simply go into the "definitely-gona-go-this-year" mode.
And when its over ,I simply go into the "so-wanted-to-go-this–year" mode.

I wana see the festivity,the church,the food,the performances.

So lets see : time or timings??.Should I blame on me not having the time or should i blame the timings of the events.?? Guess,both sounds ok. :D :D

ESPIONAGE

Been a while since we touched upon this topic.
Last I ever used or thot of this was on, one of mah Facebook tags.
It was fun learning. It was gud to kno certain details abt it.Things u wud hav neva known or neva bothered to luk for.I mean,why would you?..A student, who might just go on to becum an engineer,why wud he care to kno anythin about espionage. The few stuff and names that u might want to know, would easily cum outta a Forsythe,Forbes novels or any gud war movies for that matter.
It was fun copy pasting a project. It gives u that satisfaction, that you’d never ever get when you work hard for it. Oh ya…nothing can beat it…It obv doesn’t make u a smart ass,it doesn’t make u gud, it doesn’t get ya to believe that you did sumthing extra ordinary.Yes,it gives u a feeling that u r a jerk and gud-for-nothing, but those are something that you cud live with.should not at all be difficult,when you been one, all your life :D. It only lets u improve.

ANd our own KS ka opening lines.The eyes bulging out,the eyebrows hitting the roof,the stress on the "E" and the "S" and the "P" and the "I" and the "O" and the "N" and the "A" and the "G" and the "E".Nothing can beat it.Absoultely nothing!!..
That was the year 2003.

Recently had a hand at it.But still, there was nothing in it, that made it imp for me to know the “History of Espionage” ,“The world spying agencies”,“Origin of Espionage”,”Tools of the trade”..Nopes.none of them was ever important!!

All it tuk, was a gate pass with all your details known, the location, d camera. A spotter who’d keep a watch.
A lost order on pricing and information about an installation closer to home, was all that contributed to this act of OURS. To take pictures, to identify the areas where we could have cut down on cost, to realize one thing :-that sticking to the specs and requirements is only gona give you more of these!!.More of losing orders!!.But wotver it was,this was a prohibited act and u did it. For the benefit of your org. Not justifying the bad act. Actually, I aint even categorizing it as one .All said and done, its gonna end up blowing the lid off the competition.

The downside: the nice person who showed us around on goodwill, he’s gone be lashed. The pics gona tell them where the installation was, the competitor is gona inform the client on this breach. And the poor soul, is gona have it.!!!

The worser downside: A gesture of just meeting up another person, did help a great deal. He bailed us out of another stupid security breach that I contributed to. Carried my external HDD without declaring at the security. The dude had to endorse that its indeed mine and let us pass. The org ka reputation and my PERSONAL DATA(I kno..I kno…dats selfish..bt hell,jo mera hai,who mera hai) was at stake.But still,if it cums to a point that WE WERE THERE,and HE LET US TAKE THE STUFF OUT, is gonna jack him up too..Double whammy!!

That’s how a blown up espionage mission went for me.
This was year 2009.

Cmon, me aint a Jason Bourne.
What shud i name mah agency ?? Al-teri-Maaki-E –dawlati ??.
Perfect!

Sigh

Its too long a distance to drive.And its costs a lot.The gas,toll etc..
Its too short a distance to drive.We cud easily take a transport.Everyday wont be worth..

Basically,neva driving to work in Bombay :( :(

Good to kno,dat it happened.The critics r waiting for d figures. Waiting for more of it to step in, waiting for the economies of sclae and den deliver a gang bang.
I saw apna TATA NANO on the roads yde.Gud,he made it happen,lets c how it sustains.How it stays.
But again,He did it :)...

Of Tags and Nicks:

Yup.Its one of those times,where in,u’d rather speak yourself out, thru ur Orkut,FB,GTalk,Twitter tags over voluntarily lettin your frends and folks know an answer to the occasional 'wassup'....
How often hav u been pinged by ur frends who'd stay online and be wit u around as long as ur life's day exists online, shares your bio clock, is up wit u and probb is der till u crash. But still, its neva felt important to ask “how ya doin” until u have signed in with a super sexy,happy,sad,disgusted,elated,irritated,bashed up TAG.
U cud almost feel the pop-ups opening.2-3 @ a time, and u’d almost copy paste the reasons or the smart ass replies (dat either strikes u den, or sumthn dat u must have thought over earlier) .
Stage 2:Now that they did bother to drop in, a 'hz u' follows.Then cums a 'hz work' and if u do end up askin d same, then u cud have a convo draggin to a gud 4 mins, till one of u actually feel like hitting a 'long time,we shud catch up'. Wots interesting to note here is,these convos neva end up wit a ‘bye',’cya,'takecare’,’stay in touch'..These convos simply becum an Orange dot (idle), wen each of u have finishd updating nd gettin updated,it goes onto a stage of 'brb','sos' or worse still, not botherin to reply..
But all said and done,it has to be ur nicks that does d trick and ofcourse theirs too..If u wana be asked and talked to, make sure you cum up wit sum real gud stuff.!!..

Now: is this gud??.Forget the tags nd nicks, simply taking for granted d presence of ur buds,who r jst a ping away (yes.every one does reply.No one avoids ya, once buzzd). 'Kaam ke waqt yaad karna' ???...
Here's my take: It aint bad. Cmon, u need sumthn, u want help, u’d go to d person whom u think wud be of help. And they r SUPPOSED to hmmm…. NOT DISAPPOINT u....But again,shud we keep in touch or jst stay around as being someone existent to your friends so dat they don’t feel that u dropping by only during times of need ??.Heck..i wudnt care as to wot, dey'd think of that. Dude,if u feel dat way ,dont bother, I'd manage mah way. Now all of mah above reasoning are applicable to ppl whom I’d call friends. Not jst anyone, who themselves dont expect u to be a gud boy ringing once a year. Actually, this entire shit happens, only wit those mortals who r frends. A long lost classmate (which again orkut or FB is credited with),a set of newbies or frend's frends,wud be simply happy that u came to them for help and dey'd actually stick their necks out and do wotever it takes!!.

Strange, how its easy wit others and not friends.

Akshata.S

Akshata.S,screamed the black marker out of a white paper inside a blue badge,hung in a green loop, dangling on a cute li'l nape of 3 yr old waiting for her school bus.
Akshata has her li'l hand clasped to her dad's or mom's.
Akshata keeps luking out into the oblivion.She wud wach the cars pass by,d dogs playing around,the people rushing thru in the mornin.Guess,i wud be one of them.
Akshata luks cute in her school uniform.A blue skirt,a white top.Her elephant bag with the elephant's trunk sticking out,the orange water bottle.Im sure she mst have named a her little 'haathi' sumthin.
Akshata,strangely doesnt do any small talk with her mom or dad,unlike other kids waiting at the bustop.Jumpin,walkin,swingin,fiddling with things,Akshata is calm and cool.She doest luk happy,she doesnt smile.She probably wants the bus to come,she wants to hop in and reach school.
Sumtimes,i do wonder,wot is that she is thinkin.I kinda am very close to believe that she surely must be having sumthin in her mind.and no,i dont think Akshata is an unhappy kid or sumthin' wrong with her.She is very much allright.She is at peace.Guess so.Hope so :)

Today,I dint see Akshata.S.......And i missed her.

Hehehe

There are times wen ur suggestions arent taken and dey go ahead wit wot they think is right.
Oh no!!.there's no problem with that.Obv,its a team play,and wen they think its for the best interest of the team,no complaints.
But,wot do u do,wen it cums to a point where it goes like 'we shud have dun dat!!'..
Well.wot i do??.I give out a smirk. :D :D.
I kno,i kno.u shud be sympathizing or working forward for the team etc etc..But hell.i really feel like smirking..hehehe.

"I had told ya"..hell yeah!!!!.."Maine bola tha".

Which one

Been a daily commuter.Have done the public transport.And now doing the office buses.
Wondering which was better.As in,keeping the convenience aside,meeting and looking ppl whom ud probb neva talk to,exhanging a short smile,or a inaudible Hi,acknowledgin the existence of a person who takes d same mode at d same time and ofcourse the majority of unknowns..or having to meet,blurt out a gud morning to the ppl who gets in the office transport,knowing they gona be the same set of ppl whos gona step out and step in wit ya,probb even thinkin a li'l more abt dem and make a judgement or open out any of his goof-ups made,the earlier day,knowin dat if they wearing a new set of clothes,even identifyin their baggages on the luggage rack,talking abt work and only work.
Dunno.Not that i wana make travellin interesting or fun(it can neva be,if u travellin to work :P),but still,there came a thot,and here it is. :)

The work they get paid for and call it their Job.

Why are we so rude to the customer care reps of the service industry?
Why do we try to be polite in the beginnin of the conv and slowly inch towards losing it?
Why do we get irritated when they ask questions to verify your identity?
Why do we wait for d exact moment when you are kinda sure they wont be havin an answer and pounce on them with no mercy?
Why are issues with our cell bills,internet connection,gas connection,electronics,satellite t.v network so damn important that you go to no limits barking at them?
Why do we think that the people working in call centres can be treated like low-lives who couldnt manage to get another job.?
Why are we so quick in concluding that these people are incompetent?
Why cant we be a li'l more patient and help them help us?
Why do we get irritated with the fact that things for which,once paid for should work exactly as its supposed to, without any problems?
Why do we abuse or try to have fun with those guys who calls up with offers and credit cards and personal loans and finance?
Why are we this way.?
Why cant we be at peace?
Why do we let them take our happiness for as much as 2mins when we attend these calls?

High Time

After every Ganesh Visarjan,there's an email forward that does rounds.A pic that shows all these idols being washed away to the shore.The hands,trunk,legs,crown sticking out.Garbage dumpers cleaning them up.

A day or two before,every Raksha Bandhan,another forward comes about.A guy hangin on the handi rope,with a girls below waitin with Rakhis.

The Happy Holi forward,that has these young chicks in salwar,all coloured up.They claim to be some Lahore college ki items.(mst admit,gud watch they r,nevertheless)

The 'install firecrackers,lamps,lightings on your desktops' , 'The burst firecrackers .exe files' foward during diwali.

C'mon man.Where the hell did something called IMPROVISATION go.For me,its been almost 4 consecutive years since we bein subjected to d same thing on each of these festivals.

I need new ones.Atleast,the Holi waala.
"Holi kab hai??..Kab hai holi"

Where am I

My latest crib.
Age is catching up.Me is still at the same place,same position,same work.Me is static.Me aint going nowhere.Me dont kno where me gona be in a few years from now.Me dont wana wait for few more years actually.Me had to be somewhere by now.Age is catching up.

Title Block

How much does thinking for a title takes so much of ur time,that all your posts dont really end up as you'd hav wanted it to be.
Yup,all ur posts dont really need a title,but still,lots of thot does go behind it.
No wonder,d post suck wen it got a nice title,and d title sounds outright stupid and irrelevant wit a nice post following it.

And not to mention abt the Gtalk,facebook,twitter,orkut tags.It takes a song or nice line u mst hav read somewhere to make it to that space.

So much for a title!!!

Mumbai

2 years back,we had a much talkd abt winter.They say bombay neva has winters.Ya.It was proved wrong.Bombay had a winter,the way it never had before.Guess,it was making a point.It sure was cold.The summers were too hot to handle.The rains dint bother playing its part.Thereafter,came a winter that wud hav been easily missed.It wasnt cold in the mornings and it never was cold in the nights.
The effect of global warmings were clearly seen.The atmosphere was screwed in and out.This year's summer was bad as well.It just wasnt a summer,you'd wanna step out to.The heat was too much,the humidity worse still.Thot the rains wud play havoc,but no,it dint.It came late,but its still here.But thats def/making the city keep its cool.
Yup.There are showers,just wen u need it.Its cold,wen ud want it to be.The nights are pleasant.Hope it stays,till the winter steps in to play its role.
The morning walks to the bus stop and the ride,atleast keeps ur mornings healthy and away from any sort ill feelings dat hovers around.
Another thing,the MUMBAI WALLS.Yes,the I-Day celebrations tuk a smart route.A wall stretching from mahim to matunga,was painted by artists and ppl alike.and its too cool.As a frend sed,no good thing lasts forver,hope these walls get some time before it gets its doze of piss and spitoon.
Hope it stays for a while.!!
Me havent seen it yet,though.So really hope it does stay.

Travelled!!Tired??? lekin kyon?

How often do u find ppl complaining how tired they are,after they r back frm a journey..

"I jst got back from a train journey", "Our flight was delayed,kept circling" , "It took 4 hours for our driver to reach home" .... I AM TIRED!!..

I bet mah 1000 bucks....Each one of them must have slept throughout the journey.Ofcourse,they do.All of us does..We tend to sleep when we are traveling.Starting with a comfortable leg spread slumber in the train berths,to a li'l less but a more relaxing ambience in a flight,to a cramped but satisfying head banging sleep in a car,each of us get their own quota of a needless but refreshing sleep dozes.

And they say,they are tired !!!

Doesnt see whats coming

"He probbably doesnt see wots coming.That's why,he is so happy"

Thus said the owner to his wife about their dog,Marley.
This one dialogue is gona stay wit me.It was so true to be said about their very happy and naughty doggy.
Marley&Me.Thats d movie.Not a must watch,but the dog's indeed very lovable.

Helping or making them work?

We had these diyas up for circulation from a collegue.Those were made by polio stricken kids of the Society for Rehabilitation of Paraplegics.
Now,what was being done was,out of some 5 samples,u cud select which one u'd like and they wud be made.Now obv,buying their work and paying is a well taken idea than donating money.Atleast i think so.But then,wot turned out to be,was lotta ppl thot d same and dey generoulsy had sum gud amount of thought over selecting and placing orders for a nice quantity.It wasnt just the 'lets help get them business'.so it kinda turned out to be a major number. And obv,there wud be like minds anywhere else.
So,wot those kids have in hand is gud chunk of orders for diyas,a deadline before d festival of Diwali..
Now,y wud we wana subject those kids to a task??.It just wud have been nice if its limited to some quantity rather than delivering each one of those.
I just hope its indeed dat way.
But heck!!dat dint make me cancel my order of 2nos.Been thinking hard for it though.Shud i or shudnt i??

Spelling mistakes

Gandhiji mispelled 'kettle'.Atleast only thing dats known to ppl around.But hell!!.only one in all those years is,no doubt commendable.
Its pretty embarrassing,when a simple word ka spellin doesnt strike well.I dont really like,to put an extra 2minutes,just to figure out,think and pronounce aloud and then concluding,whichever sounds gud shud be the correct one.
Below is my list and this post wud have inserts every now and then.Bcs,though i mitent think of all and (probb not post d simpler ones :P),im sure there wud be more.

Tomorrow
Definitely
Embarrasing
Dependance
Convienance
Stuble
Independence

Now dat werent much..bt hain..pakkka hai.. :)

Problems

Sometimes,I wonder,why r problems so expensive.Other than the stress and bad vibes it gives us,it freaking costs money!!.
Well..sumthin dat ws put behind,came back wit a bang.And hell.wot a bang dat was.
It hurts,and the 'y me','y now','y again' questions pops up.Trudging along with a new answer evryday,trying to unconvincingly putting to rest those questions.Something,dat i realised,is dat ders one more thing dats adding to it.Im freaking losing mah temper at home.Now dat definetely aint cool.Not at all.
With ppl around fielding questions and giving sugggestions,mah patience & tolerance is being put to an amazing test.
Well..so far,outta d last 14 days,its 3 days dat dint really go well!!..
Like the prev post,optimism,cud have helped :D

Not in me

Optimism wasn't a part in me.
Guess,i used to think gud.and not exactly think positive.(now dat i've sed it,i'd stick and argue fr mah line!!..wotever on earth it means)
For me,things in your control can take a shape,exactly or close to wot u had imagined.U jst need to work for it.
And things,dat is ultimately based on decisions made by others,i wudn't wana be an optimistic,tongue sticking nd tail waggin doggy.Probb,it jst keeps u cool.or sane,if i can say so.But,i kinda got mah doubts on it working.
A li'l background on the above words:Mah promotion is due.The economy is hit.And 10 mins with the boss :).

Big Plans

I like how mah brain works when im not at work,not home,no t.v,doin nothin.
More like travellin,waiting.Man!!that li'l dude actually thinks of a lotta things.Only to end when im bak to routine.
It indeed makes big plans for me in those 2-3 hrs.

Never once durin the rest of mah living years.:(

Sir 100rs sir

The cycle rickshaws and the hand pulled rickshaws are no doubt a sight to see.And obv,ppl who see them(other than the ones who regularly uses it) would obviously wana try them.Simply for the joy of it.
I am one of those,who had welcumd the ban on the hand-pulled ones in Calcutta.I mean,its indeed a task.It aint easy for them.ya.ok..wot wil dey do abt the living??i refuse to answer.I wud jst opine abt the ban(talk abt convenience!!)and lukin closely,they are pretty old folks.Its hard jst Lukin them sweat,lukin them catching that one li'l gush of air,that one breath,to take u a step further.Not cool.its kinda the same for cycle rickshaws as well.They are no doubt cheap.they are slow.And as one american,with whom we were for a coupla months had once commented "The bad roads,the slow traffic is hitting the productivity of your country."
Point taken.
Last issue abt the 'on-your-back' travel.You cant really refuse the money they ask you after the end of the ride.Heaving,gasping,panting:"Sir, 100rs sir".I can give,can afford and to think of it,the upslopes were really too much,to a point,where i had asked if i shud get down.
He got wot he askd.And me wasnt a happy man.And it wasnt abt the 100.
Guess,it was the 'out-of-sympathy' rupee earning methods that either the passengers promote or the drivers adopt.

India

Been 4 yrs around workin,one gud thing abt it has been the opportunity to roam around in some parts of d country,which obv otherwise wudnt have hapnd.
Andhra,Chennai,Chattisgarh,Kolkata.
Oh.k..tried hard recollectin.Now that aint too much in 4 yrs.well..jst d way i like it..that means nt mch work. :)...But,keeping d work part aside,i'd say,its been nice.to be at certain places,travelling,walking around,takin d local transports,d way of life,sure as hell,otherwie,wud never hav had come across..unless,..me becums sum vagabond journo or a snapper..
One nicest thing that me just realised,is there is somethin that i really like.The train journeys.ok.now its not that me havnt been takin trains,bt its d diffrnt places and small time towns and villages.
Coming back.The rains,the flooded farms,and those li'l hard working figures,holding those coloured plastic sheets.Simply love that sight!!Come sun or rain,for them there are no water cooler moments,no breaks,no chai ka sutta and no walk after lunch.Wonder when you work for a living,this is how you work.And when you work for a career,salary,you tend to this,only during the FY end.
This reminds me of a forward that i recd very recently.
"A traveller luks at a farm, outta the window of an air-plane and thinks of home.a child on the farms luks up to the sky and thinks of a far away place"

Wishing for more travels around.In my country :)

Man & Machine

Am impressed with the way things are at Mumbai airport.Man!!we have cum a long way indeed.The domestic airport revamp,the international airport,made well.Its nice to see things growing outta time.Truly.Any new flyovers,road works,sky walks,subways gets mah kudo.Ya.ok.ok..its d execution thats shoddy,but the thought,the work etc needs to be appreicated.
"Humari shehar ki tarakki se humko khushi honi chahie".I kno,me gona save dis line fr mah political stint...wenevr dat happens,dat is..
Multi level car park.Auto time in and out swipe cards.U go,u punch,card and receipt in hand,u leave and insert and pay.Now the payment is not thru credit card as its d case in the US,and it aint happenin here fr a long time,i think only d exits shud be manned fr d cash.But hell.A single,operable machine got 5men!!...Beats the concept.Totally beats the automation.
But hey..me aint complainin.Its gona work the way its suposd to.
Matter of time.Just a matter of time :)

Nonsense

1)Movie:Singh is King.
Akshay kumar tries to explain Ranvir Shorey dat "tumhe apni pyaar ki khushi bardash nahi hoti.Agar woh khush hai,tho tumhe takleef hoti hai??"
2)Movie:Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam.
Ajay Devgan gives bak his pa's advice arguing dat its more imp to work for the happiness of the person u love,than thinkin abt ur own khushi.

Yup.So we got 2 movies dat i can remebr,where we got a real shitty concept.Mainly the Singh is King,wherein the poor guy is suposd to be all cool seeing his fiance havin a gala time wit another mard.
Cmon.face it man!!..ur ass WILL burn.Forget the trust,loyalty and woteva other crap dat makes or breaks a relation.Any normal human being is gona lose it!!:
100% jalegi and there are no two ways to that!!..
So al ya script writers,wen u talk abt bein realistic,well...try to be one,mate!!

Keep it

The best dig, i got frm mah frend.And i'd belive its an original.Not taken off frm sumwer.But d fact remains,its d best.And i simply love it :)

"U got a problem?? .........Keep it !!"

On second nd very stupid thots,if u respond to d first question wit a yes,the KEEP IT works.nd it works damn well !!!.else it mite not.or probb sumthn worse cud cum out as well.Nevertheless,wen u get to use it,u got to make sure,dat der indeed is a problem,nd ya...dnt wait fr an anser :D:D..Finish off in style.
Pretty cool though.Simply very cool :):)

oh!!gt a problem??? :P

Presentations

Always used to get turned off wen it came to workin on xcel sheets nd ppt's.
Xcel sheets seems to b a really powerful tool.its so powerful,dt we r askd to use it so often.I am a bit xcel literate,bt nt enuff to use it to its max.Powerpoint as well.a thing dat can be spoken of,needs to be on dat shit fr mah ppl @ work.and d shit dt can be simply written or documented,needs to b on the spreadsheet.a real mood swinger fr me.
Me been preparin d ppts nd presentin dem for mah class dese days.Shud be modest to accept d fact, dat dey r, indeed of great academic nd personal importance.The topics,dat we r askd to do r gr8 stuff.The quality expected outta us is extraordinary as well.It feels gud to see hw ppl actually do it so well.The time nd d enthu put in is commendable.
I am actually sick and tired of mah post presntation blues.Not dat i aint get d time,bt still,its not cool of me to finish it, jst fr d heck of it.The work begins in a week's time b4 its due.An even more crapier report to compliment it with.This is bein done again nd again.Wonder hw ppl take time off.All of'em work,probb wit deferred responsibilites.Prob,sum get greater access to data,sum go beyond everythin to get dem.Bottom-line:PPL WORK.PPL WORK HARD.PPL TAKE DIS BIZ VERY SERIOSLY AND PPL DO'EM WELL.!!..
nd me?i choose to appreciate nd blog abt it. Bloody Loser!!!

Dil Garden garden ho gaya

dunno wer i herd dis term.not sure,if d meanin dt i think it is,is actually wt it means.
6:00=wake up
7:30=begins d descent fr work
We got this beautiful garden.Just outside mah house.Lush green grass,nice benches,peace walks(labyrinth walk,gt sum stones which supposedly givs ya kick on walkin on dem.),walking track,yogas,lafter sessions etc.This sight in the mornin shud make one feel gud.Well it does.bt d feeelin doesnt last real long.Atleast fr me.I feel bad.Wonder when can i ever enjoy a late mornin work timings??.When wud i ever get to walk,jog,skip,play nd den go to work??how do dese ppl manage?I mean whoever does,mst be makin a dash once dey get home or probb wud b havin their own chair waiting on dem!!
Now arguin by sayin,its al about managing time,holds no ground.I wont b game to wake up at unearthly hours and set out fr dis.ok.guess,i shud make it clear.it aint the exercisin dt im talkiin abt.its abt takin time out fr urslef.being at peace.enjoy d leisure,d time dt u gt in hand!!.Now dats sumthin a distant realisation fr me.
Well..unless:
(1)a office time at 10,nw dt mite mean an extendd evenin.so dat gets ruled out
(2)Own dukaan to think of,ok.nw datss realy faar off
(3)i change d route to d stop nd avoid d garden!.
Oh man!!majority hands fr d third option..shyaaa....

X-men

Saw d 'Last Stand' and 'Wolverine' back to back.alwez liked them.The concept,the characters,the power,the life and their conflicts.Here are some powers that goes beyond,superman ki udne ke shakti,He-man ka taakat,Batman ka cool rides and gadgets,flash ka speed and the rest of d powers of d rest of d little known folks.

Pretty much of a plotted script is wot X-Men cums wit.each time.Baarbaar,lagaataar.I wudnt say i liked 'Wolverine' though,bt to credit the script for how they put in place each of the character's past, was simply awesome.

Wot beats me is,hw do dey cum up wit each of the mutant's well...ok.i wud wana use dis word,no matter hw stupid it sounds,..each of d mutant's competencies :D..hehe.i kno,work nd too mch of d personnel law and HR subjects,got dis word in me.Dont even remembr hw many times i get to hear dis word!!..

Coming back,hw d hell do dey think of the powers??ok,barring few obvious powerful-and-gud-to-have powers,der wer sum dat beat me:
1.ARCLIGHT-clap hands,and things break
2.d young kid,jiske aage powers nahi chalte
3.the beast-ok dude,u r powerful,so is juggernaut(another taakatwar) and d dude on whom tank fires dnt matter.
4.after wolverine ka claws,dey dint hav to bring the lady in d 2nd part,wit 6claws and d guy who gets all dose pines on his face.
5.the guy who can grow wood ke kaante otta his body.(thumbs up frm me.dt ws gud actually)
6.Rogue's touch.(who nd how did dey cum up wit dat?)
7.Logan ki item and bhai ka powers.Another beamer.

All written and done,its actually fun to watch'em in action.Gud guys and bad guys-dey really dnt matter in this!!

Strength of the woman

Thus sang Shaggy.Strength of the woman.It cudnt be more true.They are powerful.
And the 2 immediate examples of the strength of the woman are:
1)My ruthless prof,totaly spares the women during presentations.Forget screwing,even the mistakes arent put across.Well,its alwez gud,wen not insulted :)
2)They can ride,only wit a pair of gogs and luk gud,feel gud abt hw they luk wit their pair of glares.Helmet fits neatly in d boot.Neva stopd and askd fr the Lisen.well,atleast not bcs dey aint wearing the hard hat.

Strength of the women!!

Revital

I forget,if thats just an energy capsule or one of those ads in my local,which alwez had tags like 'Pyaar kiya tho darna kya,revital ho tho rukna kya'..anyways,being active on bed,or otherwise,wasnt sumthn dat i ws getin to.ws abt gettin bak to blogging.
Credit to d prof,who kinda put forth an xample of his boss.The boss,a senior scientific advisor to BARC.as d prof sed,the reason fr his success ws bcs his dad forced him to write a page on any one article from d newspaper.It ws an exercise that he had to do each day and then show it to his dad.This ws d dope fr his super sexy communication and that's wot helped him grow and well..to grow well.!!

This piece of advice ws given before d xams.well..herd and listened to.But to take it sseriously??well,it tuk d xams to cum by.The fact that we dont get oursleves to write,ws one reason wherein it ws gettin difficult to write crap on d answer sheets.The lack of communication expertise ws evident there.

So ya,here I am,as a perfect student goin by his prof's words.Reviving the writing part in mah life.Hope it helps.Guess,it will!!..Bharosa hai mujhe ;P...First step in passing the xams,is to clear it.And to clear it,it is well..to write crap..nd dat too,do it nicely...isnt dat obvious??

107.1

an hr ka bus journey as a new mode of commute to work,gt dem a fan now.
Breakfree is the name of the show,and pretty ok RJ's tryin a bit hard with the vocab to keep d listeners..well...listen!!
Nice set of songs.Gud piece of info on d history of the songs.They do get u to think of certain part of ur life too.Never been an ardent fan of angrezi's,and stii probb aint.But ya,dats d stn dat i tune into every mornin.8-11 is the time.dey break @ 10 fr d samachar,and normally,me @ work by dat time too.
And like every other day,2de's morning goes well spent.Happy Day:)

I am back!!

Guess.i got over that place..So im back in here..
Writing wen i feel like..not under pressure..lol..nobody ever askd me to write either..so that shows nd speaks ;P ;P...

So yup..Me is welcoming mahself...
Dekhe kitna din chalta hai ;P
