Capturing an aeroplane

2009-08-28T14:49:00.001+05:30

Those were the days and nights too. Well, I don't remember the nights, I used to sleep in the nights. But, few days I remember. I know you will say that how come I remember when I was only few months old. Don't kid me with these questions when you know I was born intelligent. Ok, so it was one of those beautiful summer evening when I was crawling around my house. I could have walked too but I was acting my age which was about seven-eight months at that point in time. I was playing with the sand, actually eating the sand but I should not be telling this to you as you might tell this to mom. Just then I saw a aeroplane landing in our courtyard. It landed just besides me and what caught my fancy was its bright yellow color. A bright yellow coloured aeroplane in our own courtyard, I was thrilled. I wanted to catch it and keep it with me lest it flew again out of sight. So, with one reflex action I caught the plane in my right hand. I know what you are thinking but I guess I didn't tell that I was born brave and strong as well. The aeroplane tried to fly away but with all my might I held it tight. I thought that this was going to be the most heroic task of my life. Capturing an enemy's plane. Mom would be proud of me and I would get a bravery medal from President on next 26th Jan. It was not a ordinary plane. It was a bomber plane. Just when I was about to be getting the medal in my dream when it detonated a bomb! I did not hear the sound of the bomb but it mist have been massive coz I felt severe pain in my hand. It was too much to bear and I started crying out loud in pain. Mom came running from kitchen and pick me up and asked why was I crying. I could have easily told her that I had caught a bomber plane but I was acting my age so I just kept crying. She could not figure out for some time. Then she looked at my closed hand and opened it. Therein lied the debris of a wrecked plane! I must have broken it with my tight grip. Mom picked up the wreckage from my hand and threw it away. I overheard her saying to dad after he returned from office that I had caught a wasp in one hand . I did not like the name wasp for a bomber plane. It should have been something more deadly. My hand became twice its size due to after-effects of bomb and I was on my way to becoming a man!

Moral to blog readers - Not all shiny yellow things are gold or aeroplane!

Driving, IPL and a fateful morning

2008-04-16T16:56:00.013+05:30

I love driving. I love driving at night to be precise. I love driving at night with interesting company to be even more precise ;-) ok,interesting company aside its quite a fun to drive at night with cold breeze on your face and you can hit the full throttle. So, all the people who leave in delhi or nearby make their will and eat their fav ice-cream one last time before they venture out. ok, kid you not,you are safe. But, do eat ur ice-creams coz life is always unsure! (Why should I be the only one with cute tummy!)

Now, coming back to driving, here is first question of the post to the blog-reader - I'd like to know what kind of songs you ppl enjoy while driving in a car. I know it depends on the mood but there have been times when I liked those songs which I wont listen any other place.

On the topic of music, I recently listened to 'je tu aankheenya de' and am loving this song. too gud. amazing.

Je Tu Akhiyan De Samnay Nai Rehna

Te Biba Sada Dil morh de

google it. listen it. I'm not uploading it here for your convenience!

And now...just a day left when the baap of manu and ranjan arrives!! In case you are one of those who use their tv's as tables its an ad campaign for IPL which portrays IPL as baap of manorajan (ie father of entertainment - for only angrezi speaking janta!) so, second question popped out here for you all - do you like such very pj'ish fully faltoo kind of humour! am impressed by the creativity of these media ppl though! Ab lage hathon ek-aadh questions aur puch leta hua IPL pe. Does celebrity involvement will only make it more sellable yet low on quality. Frankly speaking to me it seems these are the days of reality tv and we would like to peek into others life more than appreciating their skills. will write more on this later, main sabse important baat batana to bhul hi gaya...

This is it. Last week it happened. Its something only guys can dream of (specially soft engg kind of poor guys). It seemed like any regular morning. I reached office and sleepingly walked towards to the lift which takes me to 5th floor of my building. Now, I hadn't seen any kind of omens that such a bright day might day might come in my life while I work in this company. I got into the elevator and then some more ppl. The lift has capacity of 8 ppl. I was one of them but now hold ur breath, can you believe it, all the other seven were girls. For quite some time I had believed even the whole company do not have these many girls. A couple of them looked like just pure sun-shine to me. One was wearing a white suit so was extra bright and I could barely open my eyes (or it cud be sleepiness as well) so, as you all will agree it cant be true and can only happen in a dream, I did thought the same and pinched myself so hard that a couple of my bones got broken. I know you guys wont believe it but this post have been written by speech recognition software, my bones are still healing so you can send those flowers.

But it wont be long that I'll back to driving so if you see a sliver car coming towards you fast order your fav ice-cream!

Oye! Iski explanation ki koi zarrorar nahi hai. Aur vaise bhi yahan thodi hi likhoonga ye details ;-)

To ye thi meri girlS-of-my-dreams ki daastan.

I guess I'm too stupid! I'll keep wandering in my dreams lands where the girl would be more beautiful than ash and priyanka combined, have brains of Newton and Einstein's combined, more sporty than sania and sharapova combined, more caring than than the ekta kapoor serial's all heroines combined etc etc till I'll be shaken up by the reality bites and would get my second life!

Till then let me dream, my imagination is all I got :))

27th June, 2007 - Football-Shutball Hayo Rabba

2007-06-27T20:30:00.004+05:30

Ok! So, here's another day to remember - 27th June two thousand and seven!!
The morning was just as bright as any other June morning. And an mobile alarm rang in B58D. But, can you believe it was only 5:20isham. I hit the snooze button as always. And it rang again after 5 mins. Now, as I told you there was something special about this morning. And instead of snoozing it again I got up and stopped it. Yes, I got up at 5:30!!! Went to wake San who was sleeping watching dreams of tanushree and chhavi as usual. But, today was different I told you. So, I pushed him to wake him up. He cudn't believe what he saw through his half closed eyes.
So, after 10-12mins of freshening up we both Ronaldo and Rivaldo were ready to hit the field. So, we went to the field. I took the ball and give it a small hit. Wow! I hit it and didn't sprained my leg. This was amazing. so, after a bit of warming up we played two halves of 10mins each. It was brilliant display of football. Score was 2-1 or something like that but who cares for score. And, now coz we were still feeling quite fresh we decided to took two jogging rounds of B-block. We had just started to jog that another beautiful omen was awaiting us. We were going from W-E and two girls (well, one was kind of young auntie, san told me later but I dint see her coz I'd already done the batwara and the one in black t-shirt was mine,so I concentrated on her!) were coming from E-W. We cud only complete one round coz they stopped after one round. And as far as I and san believe, we four made a pact ankhon hi ankhon main that we'd see each other tmrw :))
So, here it ended the perfect morning, hoping some more to follows....

Story-Telling

2007-06-18T17:23:00.000+05:30

While I was in london this summer I asked my friends to play a game on mails called story-telling where each would pick up a story where the other left and so on.

This turned out to be so much fun, so I just thought of posting it here for nostalgia (but only is comments section as it was quite long :)

My Friend?

2007-06-02T11:29:00.001+05:30

The clouds just need a reason,
A reason to pour down.
A single seed is waiting,
The reason has been found.

It only took a reason,
For the rose to survive.
Evoked a smile from a cripple,
Cause enough for it to thrive.

It took a single reason,
For the high ice to melt.
A single traveller is satisfied,
Complete the river felt.

A single reason is all I need,
This burden I will dare.
A single friend is all I need,
To make this world seem fair.

What's happening!

2007-02-07T04:08:00.001+05:30

I'm confused! Whats new in it. I've always been confused. I'm bored also. I once read that being bored is an insult to oneself so, I'm feeling guilty about myself too. Everything seemed to have lost charm these days. Things used to be better when I was younger. (Am i old? nah! but I was younger for sure) Probably its law of diminishing utility which is sucking life out of everything I used to enjoy before. Still, I'll have to find something interesting to do or these daemons of boredom will eat me out. yeah! I should goto my friend's cubicle to discuss about the girl who has recentlly joined ;-) tada.

fanatastic trip - day1

2006-11-14T06:21:00.002+05:30

On sat after the holy dip in haridwar early in the morning we sat out for rishikesh from where we had plan to goto Neelkanth! After having tea-breakfast we started our voyage to Neelkanth which is 11km of trek with a steep climb up the hill...

It was fantastic journey on the hill...steep climbs...lovely pathways...heavy bag...some monkey and langroos...beautiful sceneries while looking down...and we managed to reach there in the afternoon which must be feat in itself...

And after the darshan of holy shrine of neelkanth we started out journey back to rishikesh...forgot to mention we'd great lunch there...aloo parantha size of big thali and costing only Rs 12 with curd...needless to say we cud have only one even at that time when we were so hungry...

And we were even faster going down and I thought we'd be back in rishikesh in less than 2 hours...but maybe we were destined for some more fun...so, we decided to goto laxman jhula instead of ram jhula from where we had come...and voila! that road extended our foot-journey by only 5-6 kms...and I think we must have walked some 30kms or so on that day...We met a nice Swiss(?) old man there...and we had a nice brief chat with him...

Back in rishikesh we found a nice dharmshala which has such nice sofas and good hard bed...And after a fantastic dinner at chotiwala...we spent some time on ganga river bank...we went to our room and had a really good sleep, knowing that tomorrow another beautiful awaits for us...

::Dark Poem::

2006-02-22T11:02:00.000+05:30

And when did we meet?
And when did we part?
And what did you say
That troubled my heart?

And why did you smile?
And why did you frown?
And why do I feel
That I have let you down?

And why do I feel
That a shadow now stands
Between me and my God
And is forcing my hands?

Did a blade swiftly slash
Where I stood, through my wrist?
Now the warmth of my blood
Seeks the earth where I rest.

Having nothing to give
Having nothing to gain
Here goes my life
Down the drains...

Do something!

2006-01-31T11:13:00.001+05:30

01/30 - Its strange that how you can perk yourslf up. You definately have little control over your emotions. But, sometimes I dont know why i prefer to sulk. I feel, I do it to be a little tuff with myself. Force myself to feel bad so that I do something about it. Today, I cultivated the thoughts that I've messed up big time. Not entirely untrue either. Look at the list, its too big. First, I lost my card! how can I do it? I dont even remember how and when i lost it. Now, it'll take some time to get the new card and i've to goto london this weekend. will it arrive in time? And God! this london thing have already driven me nuts. I'm so confused. Damn! i'm messed up completely. I missed applying to that IPO dad advised coz i procastinated. I've already failed in submitting bills on time. Dont know wht to do about investments. haven't submitted rent-receipt either! And, this house contract have already sucked me. now, will thing go already here whn i'm in london. How to take money to india? coz I lost the card, cudn't but the mobile which already had tored my mind to pieces. Have to cancel phone, tv licence etc. dont know how many giltches will be thr. Ah! Whn'll I go home? i want to go home. I need to go home before my personality is seriously altered. Atleast, the date shd have been fixed. It seems I've lost control of my life or rather i myself let it loose!! Damed! do somethng!!

Good day!

2005-10-26T13:36:00.002+05:30

10/26 - A real good day after three bad days! I felt the crossover point came this weekend on sun. Had this bad feeling on mon and tue day too. But today was good. Got up late as i'd to goto searchers in the morning. Felt good sleeping just some more! So, decided to wear the new trouser! I went to bus stop and saw the bus coming,no stoping time, cool! Give the check to the beautiful girl, lively smile that she had. Again, hardly any waiting time at bus for 11 as well as 97 and wht's more thr it was sunny morning! All signs of a good day! Office jate hi pehala kaam - prepare the case. called naren n' varsha and get down to make reco documents! it'd to be done by the evening IST! Really love working against a deadline. Filled the behavioural model in abt an hour n' half. Had to even skip the lunch. Baad main i'd potatoes wedges (without ketchup!) and coke at my desk. Chatted with friends on messenger some more! Time to hit indiatimes! Even got a good frwd mail in long time. A poem on xansa! Damn good! Called home to make the day a perfect one! Talked to papa abt pulsar n' tax etc stuff! Will call again tmrw to talk to mom. Had discussions on various things on the way back home and at the end felt like i've spoked a lot today! Back to home! Evening tea with hollyoak, wht else you need! Now opened laptop and thought if the day is going that good why not try that level of soukoban on which i'm struck for long! And voila! did it!! So, the day is cool, indeed! so, instead of writing abt it the night when thr is all probablity that i might not complete it and decided to write, right away! And it seems this is going to the only post thats gonna be complete! A little time is still left in the day. Thr's a Arnie movie at 9:00! But a big hurdle still remain - dinner! wud i make it good too? Or talking abt it wud hv made it jinxed by now! I'll soon find out and for you, you'll have to wait till i write again!

one fine day

2005-10-18T10:30:00.001+05:30

10/17 - Mon. But its not today that I want to write about, its sunday!! That was probably the happiest day in uk, maybe beating the first day-the longest day when things were ekdum new and i cud feel the smell the air. And now i have de-sensetized!! but sunday was good. Got up at 4:30. didn't really slept at all. kept watching time as if time is up. 5'o clock get the missed call frm neeraj, had just barely shave, was just thinking of skipping the bath nad here he is. Put my clothes and got ready in two minutes flat. Reached the snow-hill stop for mega-bus. It was still dark. Bus came on its time not too many passengers, took the first seat on the up. What a view, man! these are things and xps one shd have in his/her life. It feels so great, in the night, roads lit with lights, lots of bends and a smooth road! but it was time to sleep and that i did. Reached London. Lets give it a break, guess I shd make dinner now.

9/11 - the longest day of my life

2005-09-12T12:00:00.002+05:30

So, 9/11 was the longest day of my life. Not that i find it hard to pass by but it was literally/scientifically the longest day of my life so far. And now have I already started to think about the shortest day?? Well, from where should I start about it?? The morning will be just fine. The morning 9/11. The scene, everybody except me rushing to get things done for my packing. It feels good to delegate tasks to your ppl who not only are better equipped to do that stuff but will also drive a pleasure in doing that. It was raining since morning and Dad had to go outside in the rain several time. The only one who was totally unaware of all these happening was asmi and was getting bored as no one had time to play with her.

Dear Me - the correct one!

2005-07-20T06:30:00.001+05:30

Most ppl didn't agree with the previous one, so writing the correct one :)

Dear Me,

Today you complete another journey around the sun. So, let me take this opportunity on this momentous occasion to thank you for everything. Its been really wonderful being you. You are amazing. You are too good. You are God's greatest gift to humanity. Its really been a privilege to be born as you!!

You are the coolest dude ever, Man!! And girls must be ready to die just to have a look of urs. Its good that you stopped going to gym. Who needs muscles, not you dear! You look cute otherwise. Besides, there was also a probability of enormous time-waste because of pepsi/coke. And, plz dont you tire urself with jogging etc stuff, these things are for fat people not for fit guys like you. Stop worrying about trivial stuff. You have been sent on this earth just to enjoy life!

So, are we having a grand party today?? The offer to visit the dance bar may look tempting but I know you feel like going to temple more!! Wish you a fantastic b'day. Be happy n' stay cool as always!!

yours ever,
Me

Dear Me!

2005-07-20T04:30:00.001+05:30

Dear Me,

I regret to say that I am totally fedup with you and your distractions. So I have decided to take matters in my own hands from today.

I have waited patiently for 25 years for you to growup, and have some sense. But now I have realized that some people don't grow up and they don't listen to reason. You are supposed to work in the office and you are sitting here writing stupid stuff for yourself. No, we are not going to have party today..and whatever happened to your resolution of not eating junk food.

I want you to stop thinking yourself as the coolest dude ever. And no the girl in the adjacent cube or even adjacent country is interested in you. It would be better if you stopped all the nonsense talk. Whatever happened to your gym schedule or even the morning jog, huh??

The offer to visit the dance bar may look tempting, but we are not going there. I am also surprised at your tremendous ability to forget things.

Did you get ur passport?? You were looking for a change, wht are you doing about it, haan??
The list is very long and I don't want to go into lot of other details. I just wanted to let you know that you are not in charge from today.

yours ever,
Me
