The Match that was Nuts...

Now Time: 11:47 PM
Prediction was about Sachin hitting a century before match between Indian & England began at around 2:30 PM....
It was a hairsplitting, nailbitting, nerve wrecking TIE.

Pune ... Introspection

Bangalore is better in terms of traffic discipline.
Pune people are senseless drivers. Number of accidents are more here.
Below things are getting on to my nerves whenever I'm going out.


  • Nobody here bother to wear a helmet.
  • U turn can be taken at any intersection.
  • Anyone can barge into road from anywhere without even seeing who is driving in front.
  • Honking horns is very common here. Even two wheelers have truck horns. No sound control.
  • Driving in opposite direction is very common practice. Why take long route???
  • Lane?? What is it? We Puneites have never heard of something like that.


Apart from this all the property rates have skyrocketed in all major IT areas like Magarpatta City and Hinjewadi. 1 BHK for 10 K rent. Six years before I wasn't even earning that much per month.

Pune people still look at Outsider IT people with disguise and talk about them not so nicely. For them the reasons for all the dearness is IT. Come on.. you have to accept the truth. Upto some extent Bangalorians have accepted this fact.

& most serious and severe problem is DUST and Pollution in Pune.
Since the time I came here, Im suffering from this Dust problem.Wherever you go in these developing areas  you find not so good roads and all dust getting mixed with pollution and getting sucked into your lungs/eyes and hair. Dryness of skin and hair is major problem as well. It took 10/15 days to fight with this problem. The best solution I got is to wear helmet (which is anyway I follow compulsorily ) and apply a cream from Himalaya products. One problem was sorted out... Also less dust goes to your lungs if your helmet is On. But still I'm falling pray to this throat infections and dry cough originating from dust allergies. That is precisely the reason why I have taken leave today and sitting idly and writing this blog.
The Dust and pollution is unbearable. I must have to wear that pollution mask, drink hot water and wear warm clothes in that stubborn office AC.

Some thoughts are still boiling but not to the temperature to spill out of brain and fall on this blog. So keep watching.

P.S. After all the negatives, the only good thing about Pune is attached in Pic, which can make anyone outsider Jealous :))

If ya wanna be bad ya gotta be good.

Macarena.......................
Yeh Saali Zindagi............
Macarena.......................
Each generation has there own legends and followers. We feel we are the  most blessed one's to have seen Sachin batting, AB acting, Lataji singing, Michael Jackson performing, Bolt sprinting, Federer on court, Schumi racing, Murali bowling, Bieber rising, Ambanis reigning, Buffett having Buffett, Windows opening money doors...

Then why we are hogging on to them.


People come and go. Some of them exploit there talent and win. Some loose and still make examples.
Some watch others and stay where they are. They don't want to take risks.


The Legends of one generation inspire the people of other.


The most common thing in between them is, Normal people when believe in themselves and act on there instincts and consistently follow what they are doing with all there heart, they transform themselves into The Legends. Winning becomes a habit. It was very well said. The harder I worked the luckier I got.


P.S. The title of this post is not at all related to the content. Ciao.

Career - Life - Profit - Loss

Going from the varied experiences in professional career, I have did many mistakes but every time I learned from them. I never took my side and pushed myself into dangers every now and then. I may have been the reason for someone's worries and profit or loss.

Today introspecting the past..I see nearly 7 years gone in this jargon.

FEB 7. Important day in my Life.

Feb 7, 2005 -> Took a a very harsh decision to quit from my first Employer, purely on the grounds of high morality.

Feb 7, 2011-> Again back to join another company in Pune. Hope this will also prove to be one of the best decisions.

Trivia : February 7, 1804 is Birth date of John Deere.

Naya saal...

Life is strange. The Big cake of time cut into pieces of days and years. Some pieces taste sweet some bitter.

I'm terribly missing today

The canal where we used to go cycling and sit for hours and hours every evening..
Talyachi pari...jithe kadhi kadhi sandhyakali mi jaycho...aani bajula asalele vachanalaya..
And the steps of that stadium where group of friends use to sit and giggle untill it's dark.

Aaj sarv kahi aahe je tevha mublak navhte, pan ya jaga aaj harvalya aahet...
chyaa...kahi milvanysathi kahi kimmat mojavi lagtech...hech khare.

Karoge yaad toh har baat ...

Inn ........ ki koi kimat na hogi,
na jahan bhar ki khushiya na dildaro ki sohbat hogi..
kuch mitti ke ghado me pyaas ta umr hogi..
Karoge yaad toh har baat ...

pal sare beet jayenge,
main  main na rahunga
tum tum na rahogi..
kisi waqt kisi mod paar
zindagi yeh sawal puchegi,
kya main isi tarah zakhmi hoti rahungi?
Karoge yaad toh har baat ...

kuch hasin palo ki kimat yeh zindagi
hasne muskarane ke sud ke sath,
aur kitno salo tak yeh karz chukau...
isi hisab me zindagi gujar jayegiKaroge yaad toh har baat ...

Now What?

Being there done that.

Is this the story of us all.
Have I made it? Have I reached the sky, touched the stars and rocketed to Mars?
Have I lived?  Being there done that.

How you measure me? tell me..
You count my successes, when I fail, you say the boy will rise up he has got guts.
What if I don't rise up. You say my approach is wrong. You say I have got Attitude.

What if I would have never showed up to you. I would have still existed somewhere.

I have not mate all the living buddies still they exist allover and live there dreams.
What I am made up of? what keeps me going?

It doesn't make any difference to me whether you know me or whether I know you.
What's the need? You were living your way and I was on my way.
Then why I mate you?

No matter, we mate.
Time is all I have to give to you. If I am giving it to you you have become part of my life.
What I received, when I was born is -Life.
That's my most precious attribute. Without that I am nothing.
It's a count of breaths plotted against time. Breaths on X and Time on Y.
Time is infinite since the beginning of universe, but the breaths that are going to be plotted against it are limited. So the time that we have is most, "The most" valuable thing I or you have.
Your existence on this planet was of no importance to me until, I catch your few breaths.
The breaths you spend while talking to me, thinking about me and when you missed me.
I have taken "The most" valuable thing from you, your time.

It doesnt matter to me, how many people are born and died. How many of them gave me there time?
How many of them think they shouldn't have given? How many of them wants to willfully spent there time with me. - That's all that matter to me. In every generation, the experiences are same. Be it 200B.C, 2010, or 3010. Nothing will ever change. Even after Thousand years the same things will be repeated. Technology has progressed, life is better but still the Basics are same.

As a kid I never thought of the things I am doing now. But I am doing it coz I am no exception. and nobody really is. What makes me wonder more is, how exactly the things fall in place. Like a Mumbai local train, Being there you get pushed in , Being there you get pushed out. Steering the life's wheel is all what we do.

Ye Dooriyan...

Kuch le gayi hai apne sath,
kuch chod gayi hai mere pass, ye dooriyan....
ek clear si subah, na badal na thand na hawa ka ekbhi zhonka.
mano jaise ruk gayi ho ghadi ki suyiya bhi ..
shanti charo taraf itni, ki sunai de sirf dhadkan aur sanso ki chehal-pehal.
Sanse toh chal rahi hai...lekin ghadi ruk gayi hai.
Ye dooriyan badh rahi hai, ya kam ho rahi hai!

Kuch din pehle ki baat hai,
jaane pehchane raste se gujarate waqt,
kisi anjani awaaj ne jor se pukara,
kuch mahino pehle yaha se koi gujarata tha, kaha hai woh?
bina kuch bole jawab mil gaya uss awaaj ko ,
udhar bhi koi rasta shayad aisehi namkin ho raha hai.
waha se yaha tak, na baat na mulakat ho rahi ha.
Ye dooriyan badh rahi hai, ya kam ho rahi hai!

kabhi zindagi lekar gayi kahi,
shayad yeh pata nahi tha meri dor bandi thi kahi.
woh hasi ab hasati nahi, chidhati hai, aur puchti hai
kya tum apna paoge kisiko kabhi?
har khwab ab likhe huye pate par hi aata hai..
chahe aankhe band ho ya ho suraj sar pe.
yeh itna faasla hai ki suraj bhi tai nahi kar pata,
samaz me nahi aata,
Ye dooriyan badh rahi hai, ya kam ho rahi hai!

Erase me from your memory: --- A dialogue from  movie Endhiran.

Multidimensional...truly sensational dialogue. Doesn't know how on earth sometimes two "humans" exchange this dialogue in real life. "machines" indeed !

No hard feelings...

Feelings -it's a bullshit word.

When you feel something, you put yourself in danger.
Decisions come second.
Feelings mess up the sky with dark and white clouds. No clear rainbow appears in such sky.
Feelings trap the energy, sometimes positive sometimes negative.
Here I'm not pretending all is fine. Things have gone terribly wrong.
Confession will only make way for the trapped energy. Release it.
Who was I? What I am doing now? What will I do?

The very old people always give a blessing, "Be as old as me, as soon possible"... Whenever I visited my village placeI got this blessing (??) several times. My grandma who is almost 87 now, always says like that. I may be 20 or something when I first time felt someting after listening this. I did not understood why this kind of blessing.? I looked at her old wrinkled face and the weak body. Looking at her I felt she could have blessed me to stay young forever, then why this kind of blessing.. to pray for someone to age early?

I was studying then, and now I'm a so called professional. Not everything, but have seen life upto some extent. Now when I think about that blessing "Be as old as me, as soon possible"... It has started making sense to me. I ask myself this question... Would it be possible for me to last atleast till 87 years? phewww.. the answer comes loudly echoying back.. HELL NO.

The kind of life I'm living has no time to think about life. Fat is depositing at exponential rate, pressure both work & blood is increasing every day. Lighter moments have become rarer too. I am exposed to so many chemicals that I dont even care to know about. New people are making there own spaces in my life and some are leaving big voids not to be filled anythime or by anybody.  It's not possible to be a mute witness. Amidst all these happenings ... Feelings...Feelings are constantly bothering me. Feelings -It's a bulllshit word.

Aaj Purani Rahon Se .........

Jeewan Badalaa, Duniyaan Badalee,
Man Ko Anokhaa Gyaan Milaa
Aaj Muze Apane Hee Dil Me, Ek Nayaa Insaan Milaa
Pahuchaa Hoo Wahaa, Naheen Door Jahaa
Bhagawaan Bhee Meree Nigaahon Se...

This surrounding world is still a strange place. 
Shaky, disturbed, unfaithful, traitor, unjust, misguiding, unforgiving,  pretentious, liers.

Since I opened the eyes
It's a stranger world....
....untill I close, it will remain same.

Is this is what we intend to accept?

Where are the family values. ??? Is there any such thing considered at all, after seeing this.

Bye Bye IPL

It seeems the match was fixed.. Atleast some players from MI have done it. The way Rayudu played and resisted pollard to take a double says it all.

Stop this nonsense IPL. IPL is spoiling cricket culture in a big way. It's no more a gentlemens game. It's a gamblers, corrupt politician, wealthy bussinessmens and fool spectaters game...

Human Clock

Human Clocks. Ticking until they dissolve.
When wishes are not fulfilled or things have not come in your way, is there still a meaning to live on?
Isn't it plain compromise?

I don't know may be I'm searching for an excuse.

The clock ticks and man progresses in time, whether he really wants to or not isnt considered and it's also beyond control.
Day ticks, in human clock in same intervals.
But with different pace... when happy they tick faster, when sad they drag.

Reflecting upon changes is human behavior, adjusting and adapting is
inherent in human nature.
For survival that is utmost important, but we aren't rare or even close to being extinct.
In primal days it was a need to live in society, but it wasnt expected that society will decide how you should live.
Where is the individualism?

I don't know may be I'm searching for an excuse to differ.

Timed ...

Nokia E72.... Blackberry days are over.

This one from nokia works like a pro. Yes it is a pro in its class. After loosing my 3120 classic' now im setteled with this E72.. I was always a critic of these qwerty keybord based phones..like Sachin use to be disinterested in T20 in its intial phase... As he is now enjoying playing T20... So does im enjoying the full keyboard benefits of E72 writting this blog from the device..typing is much easier than expected.

Shortly i will write a full fledged review...as induction session is in progress now.....

Chennai Blogger :-)

It has become a habit to start writting if get freeee time waiting for train or plane.
Some 4 years back it was Chennai Airport from where it started and now its Central...
And Chennai is hot favorite place because whenever I visit places  here I get a reason to write some or other thing. Sharp 4 O'clock exam finished and immediately hit the beach near.. Besant nagar.. sitting beside sea is always fulfilling.

After  6pm thought of coming back to guest house but on the way near Mylapore railway station (Tirumailai) saw the same temple that I just glanced  through fence on the arrival day first morning when I got down from bus. Its "Kapaleeswarar Temple"...

It was looking more beautiful because of the lighting and reflection in lake. Had lot time for train so decided to visit there.
Believe me this temple is next to Tirupathi or Madurai temple.

Ancient architecture and inside there are several several ...many small statues all standing in a row.. may be tamil brahmins priests..( w.ref from wiki...they are Nayanars : Shaivite devotional poets from all classes of society.
Mesmerising experience...
Had to peacefully sit there to listen to pure music played by local/temple musicians.
Got up only at 8pm from there... had nice time.

Then rushed to Chennai central .. again its thrill to use local transport...
Got into wrong Bus ....
Got down at Chetpet ...
Walked a lot with heavy luggage and climbed up&down many stairs to get to Chetpet railway station..
Missed two locals..
Got the third local to Chennai central... 9:30 pm.
And NOW... got enough time till 11:00pm to write this Blog and upload all the pics.

Summer Trip to Chennai !!!


Touch Screen panel at Bangalore Railway Station.. Impressive.
We Don't Need No Education...
Appu Guest House, Near Sanskrit College, Mylapore, Chennai.
This is third time I am staying here... 

The ultimate question is whether I will make it??? Today its CSK Vs DD ... and being in Chennai its almost mandatory to watch Chennai match.. Exam 2moro at 10am... I know the result already but still its in blood to fight till last moment. Hope that the paper setters are also enjoying IPL matches and have set the papers lazily... and also hope that soon after exam professors check the papers when there favorite team is winning IPL match. Then I can say its justified to watch today's match. (and with this waiver I'm taking the oath to be away from internet and blogging and similar sort of activities for next 2 days.. thankfully I also haven't got my camera with me this time otherwise in morning only saw a beautiful lake and temple near Mylapore railway station .. tempted but ok..next time I will definitely take pics of that beautiful place. ) Ciao...

Second cool morning at Bangalore...

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


These two blogs have a distinction  coz they are written at 7:00 AM ... Otherwise I don't even brush my teeth at 7 AM :-)
Three years back when I came to Bengaluru, never expected that I will be writting another blog at 7AM. But today morning I got up at 4:30 AM .. another record at Bangalore. Evenmore went out to have a cup of tea, and there ..yes there I saw people rushing to go to there work. I smiled. because I needn't have to rush and go anywhere today. That's why the morning appeared to be pretty cool.

Relieving Weekend

Day after day and years after year .. memories fade, terabytes of data archived, prices paid and lessons learnt and forgotten too, choices made right or wrong, choices lived and finally standing bare alone... two empty hands.

Life keeps on moving from here to there to somewhere to eternity.
