I seldom write these days…
Quint evening
Raining incessantly
Jumbling emotions
Steady thoughts
Missing family
Remembering friends
Inner monologue
Calm spirit
Rumbling nostalgia

Last day in thirties...
Turning 40 tomorrow.
Happy & Contented.
There are many hits and some misses, but the sumtotal is even. Odds begone.
Sat-Chit-Anand.
At this juncture in life, still an atheist but turning more towards spirituality. Seeking solace in classical Indian music. Learning to master the art of tackling unknowns and handling delicate situations. Definitely more social than beginning of thirties.

Lagi aaj sawan... लगी आज सावन की फिर वो झड़ी है
Writting this blog from hometown.. working from hometown from almost a month now.
Raining inccessantly outside, relief for ppl shunned in homes due to Covid19.
Great feeling.... easing out the harshness of summer.
Working from home isnt easy, its pleasure and pain both at same time...
Some riffs with older loved ones because you care for them but they dont understand your viewpoint.
They have lived their life in certain ways and now find it impossible to mend in smallest of ways even if a medico tells to do so...
As a sandwich generation who now have to take care of small ones and older ones, we feel the emotional pressure that no one can understand from our virewpoint.
Anyways...... the rain washes out the riffs, unblocks the strained flows, thunder clears the air... let it rain.

Tough Men .. do last tough times.
इतना टूटा हूँ के छूने से बिखर जाऊँगा
अब अगर और दुआ दोगे तो मर जाऊँगा
पूछकर मेरा पता वक्त रायदा न करो
मैं तो बंजारा हूँ क्या जाने किधर जाऊँगा
इतना टूटा हूँ के...
हर तरफ़ धुंध है, जुगनू है, न चराग कोई
कौन पहचानेगा बस्ती में अगर जाऊँगा
इतना टूटा हूँ के...
ज़िन्दगी मैं भी मुसाफिर हूँ तेरी कश्ती का
तू जहाँ मुझसे कहेगी मैं उतर जाऊँग
इतना टूटा हूँ के...
फूल रह जायेंगे गुलदानों में यादों की नज़र
मै तो खुशबु हूँ फिज़ाओं में बिखर जाऊँगा
इतना टूटा हूँ के...

Wrapping the decade 2010 -2020
जो कभी झरने की तरह बेह्ते थे, आज समुन्दर की तरह ठेहर गये है |
जो कभी रोज मिलते थे, आज कोसो दूर बैठे याद भर नहीं करते |
जो कभी साथ बैठ के मेहफ़िल सजाते थे, आज महफ़िलो में बुलाना लाजमी नहीं समझते |
जो कभी हर बात बताते थे, आज दुनिया बसा लेते है लेकिन उफ़, घर का पता तक नहीं बताते |
कुछ है जो रिश्तो को बनाये रखने के लिए कोशिश करते है
वर्ना ज्यादातर ऐसे है जो दिखे तोह प्रणाम, नहीं तो सालो तक बात भी नहीं करना चाहते |
दिन महीने सालो में कुछ चीज़े बदल जाती है,
लेकिन एक दशक के पुरे होते होते लोग ही बदल जाते है |

माझी पंढरीची माय - Majhi Pandharichi Maay
To clear few things... I'm still an atheist and a staunch one... but ..... my head is not closed, its open to receive the ideas of world.
When I listened this song, I felt it goes beyond the lenses of theism and atheism.
Such purity, sublimity and selfless expressions are rare and are a treasure to preserve for ages to come.
Hence sharing it for all here.
Majhi Pandharichi Maay from marathi movie Mauli

Obituary
Manish Khurpade’s Obituary
“Nothing Else Matters”
They say one must write one’s obituary and keep it updating until the time they can.
Very Well.
I read it few years ago, but now I feel compelled to write one. There’s a reason for it. It will come out in due course of writing.
I go back to my introduction section on blogger & social media.. “The Happiest”
Yes, I have lived a life that I can call myself "the happiest person on Earth". I can only Thank this life and people in my life, to be considerate towards me and my ways of dealing with life and with them.
Who was I untill now? The best description to label myself would be as an urban nomad, wanderer, free thinker, rebellion, anti social and insensitive to some extent.
Things started changing when a Queen came into my life. When I saw the world with her eyes, when her world opened in front of me, I learned few things. Ruthlessness meets vulnerability. I understood life in a better way. We all are vulnerable. And its not weakness.. its our greatest strength.
Things again changed, when two tiny eyes looked straight into my eyes. It’s the moment, the best moment of Life. The goosebumps one gets on spiritual, physical, metaphysical, cosmic planes, consciously and subconsciously are beyond words. It’s the beginning of knowing something which was hidden from you by universe. You no longer look at the world in same way as you used to see earlier.
Life is tapestry of events no one else could ever understand from your own viewpoint. What appears as big wins to you may not even be a matter to consider to others. The only success is living the life the way you wanted to.
Chadariya jhini re jhini.

Becoming Father
13 October 2018
Became father.
Blessed with a baby boy.
It’s feeling that cant be described in words. Yet I will ty to articulate it, because when the father is spiritually connected but also an atheist at same time it become a rush of emotions gushing from all sides of universe existing within and outside.
Its a moment of transformation as a human.

Retrospecting Sep 2016 to Dec 2018
I was on blogspot (blogger) since last 10 years. I have almost never missed writing on my blog in past so many years, but during this period there's no entry on this blog?
Why?
Well, during this time I was employed with an MNC in Bangalore, where expectation was 3X.
Sincere Advice: GUYS stop chasing wrong idols. In this XYZ MNC some guys might have run up to the Senior roles in a very time, but you don't have to follow that same path.
In my personal experience I have felt that their maturity level was way below the expectation at that level.
Be true to yourself, focus on your & your team's health and wellbeing before going in task force mode every fucking single day.
Stop. Think.
Stop quizzing every single minute of day, stop right there. and for fuck's sake..THINK LONG TERM.
Sustainability over short term gain.

Year 2016
I have moved a mountain by coming to Bangalore from Pune, need to get rid of household stuff, it's so much.
Well, meanwhile counted all the money spent on collecting original movie music CD's and DVD's and it comes to staggering Rs 44,000. 44 K !!! No more wasting money on such pursuits.
India is inching towards dictatorship although mild but slowly its catching up.

Surgical strikes.... I hate that word... surgical.
Surgical strike on Border #IndiaStrikesPakistan
Surgical strike on Black money #Demonetization

Surgical strike needed on tonsillar lymph node.
Bangalore thou hast changed a lot. Caught airborne viral/bacterial infection that is now leading to surgical treatment.
Need for hospitalization and operation, first time it will be for such a thing in life.

Adios Pune
Leaving a job after spending 5.6 years and a lot of hard and smart work. Feels proud to have everyone wishing that you change your mind until last working day, but new horizons calling. Life isn't all about comfort zones. Reaching out to the unknown has always fascinated and inspired many to take the leap. And I took this leap from Pune to land in Bangalore. Those who are still in their senses will call is as maniacal decision. But that's how I'm am. Nevertheless.....
John Deere just like Bosch will always be life long cherished. John Deere isn't just about building products but building products for farmers. This purpose will always be remembered, humbling proud feeling to have worked with #1 Agricultural equipment manufacture and leading it's most innovative product line. Linked to the Land, will never be forgotten.
