Ek Lamha

Joh wajah hai mere wajood ki.
Jeena hai uss Ek Pal ke liye...

Jo maayne dega ess zindagi ko.
main mohtaj hai uss Ek Pal ke liye...

Jeena hai barso kayi saal kayi mahine kayi din.
lekin zindagi ban gayi hai taalash uss Ek Pal ke liye...

Kya socha tha aur kya mila aur kya paana abhi baaki hai.
ye saare bahi khate sambhal rakhe hai uss Ek Pal ke liye...

Ek saza mili hai maut ko ye jindagi jeene ki.
kya anjaam paate paate usse milegi raahat Ek Pal ke liye...

woh lamha jo ban gaya hai maksad jeene ka.
kya takqdeer mila sakegi unko Ek Pal ke liye...

ye kaagaj ke dher yeh syahi ki boonde.
betaab hai likhne daastaan uss Ek Pal ke liye...


bas likhne ki kuch khawhish si nahi thi.
lekin jab jikr kiya jindagi ne toh haath chal pade uss Ek Pal ke liye...

The Start of knowing...

Can't really describe how it feels like.. but it stops the doubts and calms me down. It's the start of knowing KARMA. The strong attitude of mine which always forces me to learn from my own experiences has brought me to a place from where I can see the things with great openness and unbiased. It's the Start of Knowing... again with own experiences. The child who became a MAN can see the surrounding with a difference. It's not much but certainly it's fulfilling. And it was also start of knowing about greatness of Indian culture. No I am not boosting of its greatness, but certainly its completeness. The men who are backed with books like Bhagvad-Gita will enjoy this phase of existence called life. The joy is simply unexplainable. I am being a atheist even one step more than that, took 24 years to realize the importance of what is written there in Bhagvad-Gita. And the book is believed to be here since ages. The wisdom the knowledge given by this imaginary person called Krishna to his fellow Arjuna, is simply relevant in all frames of references. I don't want to argue denying the concepts of gods and daemons but we can still move forward keeping them aside.

A deep frost start of a year which will end on 31-Oct-08

Life me kabhi kabhi ...

Kya???? hmmmm Haa Life me kabhi kabhi ...

Kuch bhi ho sakta hai !!!

What caused FLOODING on Hosur Road?

The great rain havoc catched live {see previous post}. And you must be curious to know the REASON for waterlogging of Hosur Road!!! The Reason is also catched live {see previous post}…YESSS “ANSAL FORTE” apartments where I stay is the reason for Bangalore’s Hosur Road floods. The Hosur Road (E.C.Road) was severally affected because the Builders blocked the “Raja Kaluve”. Apartments like “Ansal Forte” and many others are build over the “Raja Kaluve” and other canals for drain water.

And what now, the BBMP waked up and started demolition of these blockages. “Ansal Forte” deserved coverage on “Times Of India”, main page. The great Indian News paper taking initiatives like LEAD INDIA failed to deliver the truth. “Times Of India” is corrupted and biased like any other news paper. The “Ansal Forte” news was on main page continuously for 3 days BUT the paper never mentioned “ANSAL FORTE” anywhere in the news. The news simply dumped the information about the builder “ANSAL”. Everywhere in news it is referred as “one apartment” or “some apartment on Hosur road”. WHY WHY WHY???? Why this newspaper failed to mention about ANSAL builders. The reason is clear, ANSAL’s have real estate business everywhere, if the head line of a widely distributed newspaper blames there establishment “ANSAL FORTE” for all the mess created on Hosur Road-- then there reputation is gone. That’s why the name of builder was simply ignored while writing the news.

I live in the same apartment. Now BBMP is demolishing the entire compound wall, it’s digging up there and putting pipelines. Soon the matter will close. Ansal’s will settle the matter with BBMP and Then Ansal’s will advertise in “Times Of India”. This time “Times Of India” will not miss the opportunity for printing “Ansal Forte” and will not refer it as “one apartment” or “some apartment on Hosur road”.

{Soon I will publish the photographs of recent corrective measures taken by BBMP}

Waterlogged Bangalore

Raining for two days 13th and 14th Sep07 and the entire Hosur road from silk board onward (towards electronic city) drenched.





Whata scene, Hell lotta traffic jammed. Everyone cranking there vehicle engine on the flyover.



The Ansal Apartments completely waterlogged. Yesterday at least we stepped out on bricks but today…. NO WAY the last two steps were IN water and no other way to get out.



So put your pants up remove your shoes and feel the cold water.




It’s water everywhere on Hosur road. This part of city specially faces the problem coz of heavy and heavy duty traffic towards and from Electronic City, very Bad road conditions, ongoing Flyover work.

The Great Indian Dream

It’s a strange coincidence that increased my frustration tenfold, that I read “The Great Indian Dream” after my last post here. What a timing, the book came to me or rather I chose to read the book by “Arindam Chaudhury and his father” after having bitter feeling expressed right here in my blog about INDIA.

Anything left ... that makes you feel proud about India.

Today morning ....

Jayesh brushed memories when he played "Ek chidia... anek chidia...", "Mogli song" and later the big one "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara". I was under blanket listening to first two. When the third one started... I being out of Maharashtra and at Bangalore where you can find people from all over India speaking different languages...felt like watching the video. Came out of bed and started watching the different people singing "Mile Sur Mera Tumhara". These songs were the first one's we have seen on DoorDarshan. They did fantastic job of bringing the differences together and giving us the sense of togetherness in diversity. Years after that today I watched the same video and couldn't control myself. Suddenly after few minutes I went into blanket again with tears in eyes. Am I watching the same India. What we did in all these year to strengthen India. Is our condition much better or worse. I am not the one to answer these question nor does my conscience. But I cry only when I feel helpless and hopeless. I am still wondering what we have gained or lost. But one thing is for sure the India is not the same.

Dil Chahta Hai

Gaar Vaara ha bharara.. nabh tippus tipus

Rainy season arrived.... and I don't have umbrella. Got drenched twice but it's fun. but can't escape buying an umbrella, today or tomorrow I must have to buy.

The Digital Divide

The War Has Already Began... It's IT Vs NonIT.

The Digital Divide is now a clear and present danger. It's taking horrible twists like murders of IT people at Bangalore or at Pune. Protests at Gurgaon is the recent example. The IT cities started ignoring the local residents while increasing prices for day to day needs; and here comes the point of clash between these two worlds.

(To be continued...)

The Happiest

It needs a clean heart. yes, that's what I discovered after 23 years. The clean doesn't mean empty, doesn't mean no emotions, doesn't mean no worries. It means cleanliness in pursuing all what it wants. What does the cleanliness means: It's the triumph over sorrows. It means an honest answer to every question posed by your heart to you. The impurity is dishonesty with yourself not with anyone else; and the cleanliness is inner confession for your deeds. Yes the victorious heart. Heart is not a physical organ but when it pains its more than any pain. When it laughs its more than any giggle.When it flies its above infinity. That's the power of a clean heart. It's not true that if I run thousand miles a second I will be able to convert myself into wind; but its equally true that it takes a clean heart to make this feat true. It can happen.

It will take a lot more years for many of us to understand what the above sentences means. But its true that each one of us will encounter this bliss. I am proud to be an Indian and inheriting the great Indian Culture. The " Bhagavad-Gita" is the best book one can always refer. It teaches you the most righteous way of living. Yes it does cleansing of heart. At the same time it's not the book and not the culture but it's the individuals thought process which originates from within and grows.

maktub...

Is it maktub??? Or is it choosen?? Is it a decided move?? or is it decided to move that way???

What's the point in discussing all this?? If you dont want to have faith anywhere!!!
It's for those who wait and watch and pray !!!
It's not for me who defies the almighty and decided to move on himself.

Soooo far...So Good. So numb...turning deaf.

So many languages colliding on the poor thin "curtain of my ear". (in marathi we call it kaanacha parda :) also known as tympanic membrane: see the diagram).

Local residents of Bangalore are referred to as Bangaloreans. While Kannadigas accounted for 38.77% of the population, sizable minorities from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra exist. Kannada, the official language of the state of Karnataka, is widely spoken in Bangalore, as are Tamil, Telugu, Tulu, Malayalam and Hindi. Outsiders from MS, Delhi,Guj, Bengali, etc. etc.. found everywhere.

When so many languages collide on tympanic membrane, it's but natural you turn deaf to sounds.

So sick that I have started classifying abstract sounds like vehicle horns, cow's "Hummma", mixer/grindner noise, as if they belong to kannada, tamil, telugu, tulu, malayalam, hindi, marathi, bengali etc. Even when someone speaks in marathi my mothertongue.... system takes few seconds to load that decoder. The default decoder is Hindi or English. Adding to this frustation is German language. Every alternate document on my desktop is in German... which is far from reach of any present decoder. It does very good job of disturbing my visual perception of language and spellings [ thanks that I not in china... cant imagine].

Hope I turn normal soon, otherwise for the sake of "curtain of my ear" I will have to think of moving out.

First cool morning at Bangalore... after a lot of Bhagam Bhag...

Finally got the right place, Robert Bosch, Bangalore and I welcomed the offer by joining yesterday only. Thanks to Adithi [HR consultant at Bangalore]. Its only because of her. She called at right time and coordinated very well. Now I am satisfied with this job and has no doubts in mind while joining here. First day at Bangalore came with lots of excitement and surprise.

The things happened so dynamically over last weekend, that every situation was realtime & having very higher priority. I left Pune on 1st March with clear intention of joining Patni, Bangalore [with lots of doubts in mind... but somewhere the feeling was lingering that something will happen and the fate will change ]. I decided to stay at home from 2nd to 8th March and then at Pune on 9th-11th march. Leaving Pune on 11th I decided to join PCS on 12th. I did all the reservations from Pune and went back to home.

01-Mar-07: Left Pune by 8:30PM for Katol

02-Mar-07: At home by 1:00 PM. Decided to collect my degree certificate and to visit my Mama's place Hinganghat.

03-Mar-07: At home ...leisurely... Holi day.. Adithi Called to schedule Robert Bosch telephonic interview. Decided to give it on 5th march.

04-Mar-07: At home ...leisurely... Celebrated RangPanchami with Gulal only.

05-Mar-07: Left katol early in morning 8:30 PM. The Robert Bosch telephonic interview was scheduled at 11 AM. So decided to give once I reach nagpur. Gave Bosch telephonic, went well. Later started for Umrer, UCOE for collecting degree certificate. After collecting degree went to Bhau's Tapari at bypass road, where we used to have chai and poha. Bhau was happy to know about placement of all of us. Adithi called to arrange face to face interview with Bosch. Now real trouble started of molding plans. I decided to take the chance. Went to Hinganghat, my Mama's place. It was after 6 years I went there. There visited all relatives, and finally decided to rush to bangalore as suggested by aai and soni.

06-Mar-07:Came to Nagpur from Hinganghat, Called Suresh, and its because of him i managed to do all reservations again, We went lot of here and there for re-scheduling travels and re air ticketing. Also purchased some books from famous book stalls at nagpur. Left for Katol by 7:30 pm.

07-Mar-07: Went to my father's place "Yenwa", our gaon. Came back to katol by 10:30Am, By that time soni reached home from hyderabad. She got her first salary and she got fabulous gifts for us. Titan Watches for mom and dad and necktie for me. Had lunch and left for nagpur at 4:30 pm. Saini Travels 7:00 pm left nagpur by 8:30 pm.

08-Mar-07: Very frustrating journey, I was feeling like bullock cart will go fast than this Saini Travels. Very slowly I reached Pune by 12:45 AM. Thanks to Jayant and Mahesh sir at SLs, helped me to get salary slips.

And most interesting thing is .....Tell me apart from going to toilet and brushing teeth what other things you did FIRST in the morning. The moment I reached Pune, I went to saloon for haircut and beard trimming[I didn't want to appear in my special AVATAR before Robert Bosch people]. Then rushed to flat, took whatever come handy, packed the bags and rushed to Lohegaon airport.reached airport by 3:00 PM. Spicejet flight was scheduled at 4:00 PM. Theres a weird rule of single hand baggage[I was having laptop and sack]. Somehow managed to convince security and Again disaster stuck when security personnels identified scissor, swiss knife, nail cutter, big pencil cutter all in my hand baggage[ good enough to hijack a Boeing 737 ]. While packing bags hurriedly put these items in my hand baggage. They canceled my boarding pass, I went back to spicejet attendants, they told that luggage is already sent and cant call back... finally they put all items into "security related check" items envelop, gave new boarding pass. Finally got in the plane and reached Bangalore by 5:40 PM. Vasant received at airport and then came to our flat near Silk Board. At night tried for wireless internet connection... and my goodness got one absolutely free. Checked mails for interview next day.

09-Mar-07: Went to Robert Bosch, opposite Forum, Koramangala office. there they took 1 technical[one interviewer], 1technical+HR[2 persons... project managers]. After these rounds they gave me offer letter to join. I have already told them that I am going to join PCS from Monday. This might be the cause why they wanted me to join from today. While coming back to flat brought the " 7/G Rainbow Colony " tamil movie DVD. Watched my favorite song "Kan peasum ..." from the movie. This movie has gr8 songs.

10-Mar-07: Today... writting this blog early in the morning 7:00AM

Spartan Spirit

It's pride working at Spartan Labs, Pune. The place with specialist's in Embedded Domain. It's a tough decision to leave organization like SLs, but I had to move on to achieve my targets.

Got very good company [ DUS team ] at SLs. I can't [never] forget all the treks and outing and various parties. Hope to see you all whenever I will be at Pune.

Ninaithu Ninaithu paarthen

It's all same for you, me and for everyone on this planet. It know no boundaries, It just comes to you, touches you and you become real gold. Its the gold that can understand a gold. Its the gold that can feel and sense the gold ...everywhere. The gold are the blessed ones rare but they are there... They me be at the bottom of mines undetected, untouched, unrevealed ... but the goodwill they posses helps all to grow. The gold itself is selfless. Its waiting for the one who will come and adore it. It's waiting forever...

Once in a lifetime
You'll meet that special someone
Who brings out the best in you
Who becomes the meaning of your life

You eat, breathe, talk
Sing, dance, laugh
Dream, smile and live
All because of her

Your very life and existence
Your reason for being here
Becomes clear
That is when you know
That she is the one for you

And without her
Days are just but days
And life is but a word

So when you find that very one
Hold her close
And never let her go
You'll find yourself living
Dancing in the colours of the rainbow

Preparing myself to be a part of crowd. Donno what will happen !!!

Yes it's indeed a big decision. It's becoming very hard day by day (as I am approaching my relieving date-28feb) for me to come out of SLs. Technology, money, brand name.... I am mingling on these priorities.

Feeling like lost into this wast world. Its a rare combination or I will have to wait till right opportunity opens door for me. But do I have that much patience? I think not. I will have to join somewhere before April. But I will try my best to get the best.

Autobiography of a SMILEY :)

Hello my name is SMILEY :) I donno who gave me this name but they see me always smiling thats why I guess they named me SMILEY :)





To be continued...[I heartily invite your thoughts via comments to complete his? autobiography]

A sad Hat trick ...

At this time, heartily I wasn't ready for this opportunity which happened just after my resignation. In fact I never wanted to go for it. What to do when you get caught tightly into emotions and practicality. Then only way out is to do what any human being is supposed to do. Even I did the same as anyone would have done. But still I am not prepared to leave my present organization :( . After resignation I got PSPL pune, GTSS Inc. New Jersey USA & PCS bangalore offer. I have decided to move on to Nagpur or Banglore ... most probably I will join PCS, cause they offered work in embedded domain. My first priority is choosing a product based company. Lets see... I have 20 more days.

Another encounter with life... Another unusual decision

psycho are always psychos. They never learn, they never adapt, they can never be stopped, they never wait, they never even care about themselves ...therefore they are psychos. This specific psycho has problem of resigning from job at hand without getting any other offer in hand.
