Brittany Murphy...a very young talented Hollywood actress passed away just sometime back and its a big loss for Hollywood.
Though I have seen few of her movies...but I fell in love with her when I saw "Uptown Girls" few years back...for me she was one of the cutest face ever and her smile was simply the best...
Rest In Peace dear and love you a lot forever. You will always be there in our memories...Miss U... :-(
Saw this movie last night on 17th Dec, my 1st premier show of life. And glad to have seen this movie’s premier show which would be one of the most unforgettable movies of my life…
Was very much excited to see this movie specially after coming to know that it has been more than 10 years now that James Cameron has been working on this project…he made technology for making the movie which is generally opposite case…like people use technology which is already there for their movies…hehe…being the director of movies like Terminator and Judgment Day and Titanic and many more…now you know this movie is not going to disappointment you…so its all excitement rushing in my head…then and even now… :-)
So it was an instantaneous plan…I just checked out the availability of the premier shows in 3D and there was one cinema near to office so we 5 guys decided to watch the late night premier….10 pm to 12.40 am :-)
The movie began and then it was all the James Cameron brilliance on the screen, the Pandora, Jake Sully / Avatar, Neytiri, Grace, the soul tree, the music, the humans good and evil and the most important thing was the 3D effects which added life to all we look at…each and every small thing has been taken care of…the new creatures, their phenomenon, small insects, animals, the forest…the floating mountains…the equilibrium of energy, the bonding between all of them and the lesson that what keeps them as ONE.
At the end of the movie all you have is the hats off feeling for the director and the entire team and the adrenaline rush of watching something SO big, if you just think you will feel that it’s really a big project…this aint no just another movie…it was completely flawless…and all fun and excitement…the technology to its best…and one thing I feel and say… James Cameron … you are GOD \m/
Guys…just don’t miss this movie and please don’t spoil all the fun by NOT watching it in 3D.
I consider myself really lucky to have seen this movie’s premier show.
Jim Morrison happy birthday today is the day the day GOD was born the birth the death the man who invented life the man who lived and never died the doors the end
28th Nov 09…CAT exam’s first day…this time the management gurus have decided to go online…no more paperwork and stuff and to save some cost…actually a good decision…but only till the noon of 28th Nov.
I was amongst the few lazy asses who bought the CAT form almost on the last day and hence we were the ones who got the slot of the 1st day…maximum people would be choosing 5th and 6th Dec weekend.
So I went to my centre in Bandra and my friend Ankit was with me…we had 3.30 pm time slot. We were called 2 hours before and we did reach then…we firstly wondered that why the hell guys who appeared for the slot of 10 am are are coming out at 2 and 2.30 but then thought may be just that their exam started bit late.
And then we got our seats in respective computer labs, at first the exam application wasn’t starting. For first 15 mins we thought it is a regular trouble the people there would be of help but then the problem was there for all the students and then the situation went chaotic as almost no one was able to give the exam and then we were told that there is server crash or some overload shit that screwed the exam…
We all were like wtf man…means cant u guys even take care of one exam…and do u really have any idea how big is that??? For me and Ankit, we went just cuz we bought the forms…we didn’t study…but there are people who slog their asses studying like 20 hours a day only for this D Day of theirs’ and when they come here thinking the battle of 2 and half hours will change their life when they win it…what they see is this bullshit mismanagement…they are told the exams not today and when it is, this will be informed on mail or msgs or calls…how do u expect some one to react??? This is a big psychological defeat for people who study so seriously…
No kidding…for one girl I came across…the software hanged in the middle of the exam…after she had completed 20 questions…fuckin 20 questions…isn’t this a security breach…what if she post those 20 question online…what will be done then??
People don’t choose dates randomly…they choose dates cuz of some reason…people come from various city for this exam…I know people who even came from US just to give their CAT (the same girl mentioned above) and she is supposed to travel back to US tomorrow…how is rescheduling the exam going to help her??? Will there be US return tickets sponsored to her??
There were 2 people in our room who were giving the paper while all this chaos was going on…I really feel sorry for them as there was no room for them to concentrate but then the others too couldn’t control themselves…it was good that after sometime we all vacated the room and shifted to other classroom where we were told about rescheduling.
The prometric people have performed pathetically bad …can’t they even test one software performance and one server speed…can’t u write scripts to bring thousands of people online on one server and test its performance…I know I am getting too technical…but this is for one smart ass who was present in the argument and raised a point…dude how do u expect them to test server for 20000 people…man we IT people do it all the time…do u even fuckin know how does a sever work…fuckhead.
It was one hell of a experience, I never ever imagined that one of the biggest exam in India would get cancelled cuz of such a mismanagement…and the other surprise was today morning when the server problem was still persistent and the exam got cancelled again on the 2nd day…the feeling is funny now…I am simply laughing…I don’t have anything better to do…
Anyways I just hope that the problem gets solved very soon cuz I know this exam matters a lot for lot many people who actually wait for this one BIG DAY of CAT exam and it doesn’t fuckin matter to them to darken the circles on OMR or to click the radiobuttons on computer screen.
Best luck buddies :-)
** only good thing that happened on that evening was that I saw SRK on his terrace when he came out to greet his fans since it was bakri eid :D
Google Wave...Until last week i dint even know of this thing…but man just saw its videos on youtube and believe me this is gonna be a revolution soon.
Few days back Anya mailed sent us GW invites and I just joined it.
In few words, Google wave is ONE place for everything you want to do…they call it WAVE…it’s a single thing for all things we want…right from official stuff to personal and casual stuff with friends…it has all mail…chat…a combination of both…pics…vids…games…and all can be done with multiple people at a time.
I can’t explain all in words here… Interested people can see these vids on youtube…
This post is just to express my happiness for Aniruddha better known as Anya…as he has got a job today…and what else can be a better day to write about him :D
I was sleeping when Rahul called me up and Anya was on conference from US and Anya told us the good news. I was about to hang up the call as I was too sleepy but after Anya shared the news there was a wave of excitement and happiness in me.
Those who don’t know Anya, please visit his blog by clicking here.
A brief introduction from me would be…I know this dude from like past 21 years now and we have been together all the time…nothing like a gap of 5 6 yrs of education in between or anything else…Anya went to US for doing Masters on 27th July 2006 (it was my birthday :D) and after he completed his Masters the recession hit the globe in late 2008 and it was a real bad time for all the students passing that year and one of them was our dude.
Honestly speaking I always felt that studying in US is a privilege and you have the best time in your life and life is all fun but it was when Anya went through his phase and I realized that its no all time fun but you have to be so self dependant and manage so many big things at a time like studies and part time jobs and cooking and relationships and what not and you can actually get screwed somewhere if you don’t be strong.
No doubt he has been a source of inspiration when I used to get frustrated due to some not very big problems here in India…better when we guys used to get frustrated :D
Anyways sad scenes apart, today I am really happy for this dude getting something he really deserves, bit late though. I am sure many better things are yet to happen.
I have been informing all my friends from morning and everyone is happy for Anya... :)
The last blog was on Thursday morning 3 am waiting for the Klueless 5 to launch. Its Sunday morning now almost 4.30 am and this is to declare the achievement…
It took almost 3 days to crack it and believe me each sec was consuming the grey cells…but at the end everything pays off…the feeling of getting through those 38 levels step by step solving it all and trust me…gaining that huge amount of knowledge…I just love this game…Klueless is surely the best online puzzles I have ever played.
Thanks a lot to the Klueless Team who strive so much to let others enjoy the fist…and also the people on forum to share hints and special thanks to Vishal, Mukul and Gaurav :)
After almost 6 hours we gonna be on a big quest…the thirst to be among the top 10 of Klueless 5 hall of fame.
Last year we made it at 7th position but this time we are targeting top 5. We here mean me and Rahul.
The only difference as compared to last year is that we are not together this time. Obviously we gonna coordinate and solve it together and share the success as well…hope the distance won’t matter much.
Last year I remember the enthu we started with and the happiness of the achievement of being in top 10…looking forward to experience the same again.
This weekend was really hectic and one of the most tiring weekends…we left the HOME we were living in before.
There are reasons to call our last place as HOME and that will be forming another post on my blog :-) this post is just to tell how was the shifting experience.
Now some of you are definitely going to give that sarcastic laugh saying…as if you are the only one who has shifted his place ever…but the thing is this was the 1st time we shifted in 3 years…for first few months we were living in the same building on 8th floor and then we shifted to 1st floor where we were living till yesterday.
And believe me shifting from a place after 3 years is an entirely different experience…there was a huge amount of trash…dirt…clothes and specially paper waste…no exaggeration, there was 60 kg of paper waste from the house.
Before describing paper and clothes waste…one more story… The bag I bought in Nagpur in May 2006 while leaving the city for joining company had not been moved over the years from the place it was placed and quite a few times there was overflow in kitchen cuz of freeze defrost and open taps (after getting drunk) so while cleaning the house when I first moved it, believe me guys, there was a centipede beneath it and I was so fucking scared of opening the bag…I wore my shoes all the time and somehow dared to open the bag after sometime after I gained enough courage and to my luck there was nothing more…but to my bad luck most of the clothes in the bag were wet and had gained moisture and were of no use and the most important loss was that the diaries I wrote in my college days also got wet but luckily they are readable and not completely wasted...
Ok so out of the 60 kg of paper waste I guess almost 40 kg was purely the MBA material we had at our room…it was like at least 20 students have given the MBA exams from our flat but no…we were just 4…leave it, that’s another story. Anyways, I was amazed to see such a huge paper waste from the house, now many will argue why didn’t you distribute it to the needy people and stuff but you know we were two guys who are quite a lot experienced in doing stuff at the 11th hour and then you don’t have time to take care of other people at that time cuz honestly speaking you don’t have time to take care of self …hehehe…
And then the other thing that came out in excess was clothes…before that one more moral…specially when you are the last people vacating the place and that means when your earlier roommates have lived with you and then left the place before you always remember there are their memories left behind specially in the form of admit cards, prospectus, telephone bills, photo copies of all the documents they had, their traveling tickets and most importantly their studying material and their clothes… Lol…believe me there is no pun intended…
So there were like almost hundred clothes which we had and we were not wearing anymore and then half of them, we were not sure to whom did it belong so all these clothes helped us help others, we gave lotta them to the security guards of our building and then ones which were not worth wearing again formed some waste from home.
Other than this there were like 50 plastic bottles and some 10 bottles of whiskey, vodka, scotch bottles which I really liked keeping arranged in a shelf in kitchen reminding me of good time I spent with the friends :D (this doesn’t mean we have just drank this much in 3 yr, I don’t have any particular logic for just keeping 10).
It took us almost two days to clear the place leaving behind nothing but the little amount of dust and dirt behind and beneath the cot which were too tired of cleaning…in all the place was really clean :-)
So guys that’s all…just wanted to share the experience of shifting the place since it was a really thrilling one for me and I am sure for Suyog as well.
Thanks to Amit P, Amit W and Shripad for helping us on the 2nd day :-) specially by taking away few important things with them which we didn’t want to throw as trash.
It is exactly 2.50 am right now when I am starting writing this… Will make it short and sweet…
Few minutes back the movie ended “12 Angry Men”, I am speechless…I just don’t have enough words to describe how good a movie can be.
I am so pleased and glad and happy and excited that I gotta see this movie, I am a movie freak and believe me movies keep me alive and ticking and going and this one…this one was nothing but simply awesome…if you haven’t seen this you are missing something.
I just wonder it’s like 52 years old movie and the plot, the direction, the actors, the dialogues…man movies last till eternity, good movies like this one are made for everyone and must must must must watch…if I ever get a chance to open a university then movies would be in curriculum and this one would be one of the best lectures, students would get :)
I feel like calling some of the close friends and sharing my excitement with them but its too late now…I should sleep.
Jus came back from one of the best nights in Mumbai…
A band named “blind image” from Chennai had a Metallica tribute in the Aura pub in Powai Hiranandani….and believe me it rocked like Hell there… Interesting thing was the guitarist who played alongwith the band (not a part of band) was from my hometown Nagpur…Daniel (Danny) … I have been listening to this guy from my 1st year as he was a regular participant of the Rock Show we organized in Aarohi… :D and believe me he plays awesome guitar…
The night started with some OCs by the band and then a 13 year old gal played some songs…it was all OK…but then came the time to Rock…They started with “The four horsemen” and then “Master of Puppets” (this is the one of the best best bestest song ever) \m/ and then “Creeping Death” this too fuckin rock…
In between there were some more OCs by the band and few songs by “The Lamb of God” and “Slayer”.
All time it was Whiskey, Beer, Headbang, BodyBang and moshpit…madarchod …maja aa gaya :D
It was a fuckin beautiful night :D
Reached home sometime back and now time to sleep as last night slept at 6 am, only for 5 hours…body and neck is already aching … hehehe but its all fine for You Gods…
Metallica… you rock \m/
Please come to India once and make my life…
** A real important post is gonna be published asap...on how I screwed myself on Last Saturday night...hehe
Ganeshotsav … meaning the Ganpati Festival is one of the biggest festival in Maharashtra and specially in cities like Mumbai and Pune … though I haven’t ever been to pune in the 10 days of this fest but yeah I have been looking at the fabulous atmosphere (better word Maahol) in Mumbai from last 4 years…and believe me you gotta see it…in the first 2 years I also went to see the Ganesh Visarjan at Girgaum Beach in Mumbai…and this is the most important day of the festival…the Visarjan (immersion) … most of the offices have holidays since they are aware roads gonna be packed :D but we generally have half day :( … but whatever the important thing is to be at one the beaches or lakes where the Ganesh Visarjan takes place… and its real fun to be at beaches than being on lakes…
There are these humongous Ganesh idols from all over the Mumbai at the beaches and then THE SEA OF PEOPLE…yeah I mean it if you are lost .. you are lost…its really difficult to find your buddies back…but then that’s what forms the entire ambience…the chanting of the mantras and the hailing of Lord Ganpati “Ganpati Bappa Moriya…Pudhchya Warshi Lavkar Ya” and the people all engrossed in the arrangement that nobody gets hurt while the Big Idols are immersed in the Sea…its all so much good to watch…
I really feel that this festival meets the purpose for which it had been started by Hon. Lokmanya Tilak way back in 1893…to make people come at a common place and celebrate and get together for a common purpose forgetting all their worries and sharing all the happiness and forming a bond :)
I still remember the days in my hometown Nagpur…the Ganpati Installation at one of my friend Ashish’s place and also in Colony, just infront of our building…the music…the games arranged…Sandal (band) on the last day…I remember how Anya and Me were curious enough in my school days and while coming back from Arpit’s place in Itwari we used to see the Ganpati Installation at the various places :D
I jus love Ganeshotsav !!
Ganpati Bappa Moriya…
** few of you may get surprised to see this post…as I am an atheist but then my feelings has to do nothing with the belief in God but the emotions of people.
And before I sleep, a confession, I have really got addicted to Mafia Wars on Facebook…I just do nothing these days when at home, just be online and play MW…spend all my energy and stamina (these are MW jargons) and then wait for the same to refill…the game is really addictive, I know most of you will agree :)
The game is about forming a mafia with you friends on facebook and then just playing a virtual Mafia War…doing illegal jobs…attacking other Dons...robbing them…declaring war within your own mafia…buying properties and some businesses and much much more :D also you have your mafia at two places New York and Cuba…its all very interesting at least till now and I am sure its gonna be the same atleast till you become the top mafia which is really a fars cry for me…I am on level 182 right now and top mafia people are above level 4000 … hehe…
This is one of the things that is taking much of my time on weekends and still no positive output as of yet…from almost a month I guess we are doing this…searching for the new place since our contract here in current place is almost over and we need to get the new home asap…the sad part is here WE is just me and Suyog :(
We have searched few good places in last couple of weeks but now the problem is we don’t have enough people to share the flat with us and the main reason being that one of the earlier roommates has ditched really bad…or may be its not his fault as he was too desperate to shift to a place near to his office but I still cant understand that how can someone shift from a place where you have been living with people you have known for last 7 years to a new place where you know no one…or may be it was for the good of everybody, anyways the other roommate is shifting to another place by the end of this month so after that if we don’t get a good place with enough people to share the same then we both will have to contribute extra cut for the current place for next month…
We are still in need of a good place within our budget and atleast one more person to share it, so lets see what happens…will keep you all updated.
Hope for the best and always be prepared for the worst :)
Its been more than a month that I have written anything here…the space I consider mine, my say…nothing like I don’t have anything to write…I always thought there should have been a device to record everything you think, in a text format, had it been invented it would have been so easy to daily update blogs :D … excuses…lol
Anyways there have been many things I would have written but the simple reason is no consistency…and this has been the reason for many other things in my life…yeah you can call them failures too…I remember even Anya had stopped in between for a time being and didn’t write much on his blog and may be this was my patch…hope that I write regularly now…I really miss my blog…
Just now on DTE website they have put up the list of the colleges with the seats distribution structure and this year there is no seat for NT1 in any of the 2 colleges I was aiming for...neither JB nor Sydneham, on rotation basis the seats have gone to NT2 candidates this year…so finally the result is out before it was supposed to be and I am not gonna get into MBA this year…so that’s it.
Ya a bit depressed…may be quite depressed but there is no use or say no option…but it’s fine…life never stops and you have to go ahead with all the failures either carrying them as burden or just forgetting them and making a new start…and that’s what I am gonna do…forgetting everything and moving ahead :-)
So friends don’t worry I am cool…means I will be soon.
Today I have dropped a mail to my PM requesting him to discuss my future prospects in my project…actually I am not getting much work of my technology and then whatever I am getting is too less to consume my abilities…also after completing more than 3 years in an organization now I have started getting a big desperation for going onsite too…
One way out of this fucked up situation is the CET final seat allotment process which is actually being delayed a lot by the government. If I get lucky there its gonna be wonderful :D
Actually I was holding…infact I am holding this frustration from quite a long time inside me which has kinda made me a pessimist…which I hate to be…so finally today I have asked my PM to discuss my future plans with me…but he has delayed the meeting to Monday…so lets see what happens…
** actually the story is very long and its no use writing all of it here…the main issue is I am really frustrated regarding my career and I am not consumed.
I never knew I would be doing this…I woke up just a minute back and writing this post.
Monsoon has now hit Mumbai well. There were some pre monsoon showers in last couple of weeks with the gap of some sunny days in between. But from yesterday it's raining cats and dogs here. Anyways I am nocturnal so I sleep very late and wake up very late and then hurry up for office. One of the main factors I wake up late is the atmosphere outside. Especially in rainy season you never come to know the time, even if it is 9 in mng you will feel like its 5 or 6 am.
And this is the same case right now. I opened my eyes few minutes back and saw outside and almost decided to lay on bed for another hour or two thinking its so early morning but then I checked the time in my mobile and I couldn’t believe it was 9.40 am.
Last night’s Champions League’s final match between Manchester United and Barcelona was one of the best CL’s finals. Not because the match went tough or it was a close shave but the loss of Man U made it really interesting.
As usual most of the crowd was supporting Man U and when Eto scored the 1st goal for Barca in 10’ the entire stadium went silent and you could feel how badly the people wanted Man U to win but this was surely not their day.
The Barca players were possessing the ball for most of the time and then the second goal by a baaap player Messi in 70’ shattered the dreams of all Man U supporters and obviously the team…but I was so happy to see this…it was revenge for me for last years same final match between Man U and Chelsea which was too exciting and the closest shave I would say but ending with Man U’s win.
But this time Barca has been crowned the new King and Man U’s reign is over.
3 cheers for Barca…
P.S. :- When Barca defeated Chelsea in semifinal I was really disappointed and wanted them to lose but more badly I wanted revenge for last year’s final :D
I am sad…today was a match between two teams I love most and I support equally…Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians…but like every mumbaiyya I was supporting Mumbai Indians…Sachin Tendulkar…who wants him to lose…GOD…seriously Sachin you are GOD.
But on the other side was equally capable cricketer who is no less than GOD…Shane Warne…the best captain undoubtedly…I love to see him doing his job…he supports and appreciate each and every move of his fellow teammates…
One of the most incredible matches of IPL 2009…last 5 overs…that’s where the excitement began and climbed the peak and no doubt it ended with the same excitement…no one side game…no obvious victory…everything was possible but every single ball was becoming unpredictable…the win was equally required for both the teams to survive ahead for the semifinals but Alas! Mumbai lost by just 2 runs :-(
Today is the 30th wedding anniversary of my mom & dad… actually…wishing each other on such special occasion including birthdays is not something we have been doing in our family…it has been all very mutual…ya but it never changed the importance of the day :-) I called them in the morning and the call must have lasted hardly for 5 minutes and I spoke to both of them and wished them before cutting the call…
I don’t have much to write about this occasion…the only thing I wonder is that how can someone spend thirrrtttyyyyyy years together…not even wonder but rather I get a thot that isn’t that a real big deal...atleast for my generation…like we guys sometimes get bored of someone in just few days man and then marrying a gal and being with her for all your lifetime according to the oath taken at the time of marriage…that’s gonna be real big deal man…may be time will decide it better…rather than me spending time imagining stupid things bout it…hehe…
So Mom & Dad … I know you never gonna read this … But still… A very happy wedding anniversary to both of you…you actually have been real great and special mom & dad…I cannot imagine my life without the freedom I have got from you and the way you have actually let me be what I have been without trying or forcing me to become someone ideal…believe me my love for you was never less even a bit…and I accept it with a little guilt that I have never expressed that when we be together but I know and this is the best thing of my life…I know that you two too understand it… love u !!
P.S. :- The pic must hv been taken within a year after getin married smwhr in 1979 - 80...look at my dad...long hair huh !! and they always scold me when I let my hair grow long...hehe.
You have to be really lucky to get a weekend this long…ya coming weekend is of 4 days…man how lucky…30th is the election day here in Mumbai and then 1st May is World’s Labour Day so again holiday and then Saturday and Sunday…in all 4 days holiday and that too without applying a single leave…yuupppiiiieeeee
All have their plans and most of them have a single plan of going home…and I am no exception…have got confirmed tickets (not easily though :-)) but everything’s set now…so Nagpur I am coming :-)
I know it’s too hot over there and it’s not gonna be fun roaming in daytime but then there are always night plans and everyone knows what are they :-)
So that’s it…time to sleep now…have a training at 9 in morning to attend :-(
Everyone has some failures in life. I am no exception. This failure is something that will be remembered all life.
This is the failure that will make me remember that I am no genius to get thru the MBA exams.
I actually feel that I am an intelligent fella and if I try hard I can do well in exams too.
But it didn’t turn out to be true in case of the MBA exams I appeared for this year. I gave all the exams I was eligible for…CAT, XAT, FMS, NMAT, SNAP, JMET and CET and I simply screwed up all them…pretty well and equally…I got thru none.
CAT...scored pathetically bad…lower than my 1st attempt last year without studying. XAT…did well…very good score but didn’t get thru Math cut-off so simply of no use. FMS, NMAT, SNAP, JMET don’t remember the scores but screwed them too.
CET the only exam where I would have stood some good chance as it has reservation for NT…I screwed it too…not completely though…scored fine and now GD/PI is awaiting and after that the results will be declared…so lets wait and watch…I cant say anything more.
But scores of these exams is not the real embarrassment for me, neither is the fact that I must have spent at least 10000 bucks behind the exams and for applying in some other institutes and additional 5000 for the correspondence course in IMS and test series.
The real embarrassment is that I took more than a month time to study for the exams, I took leave for a month and went to Nagpur and I planned to study at least 16 hours a day and just crack each of the fuckin exams but vice a versa happened, I got fucked in all of them. Its not that I didn’t try at all, I did...but now I feel that may be it was not up to the mark...but now giving explanations is of no use, as it has been very correctly said “Excuses are for the losers” and may be I am one of them.
I am not pessimistic to accept that I am not worth being an MBA but then I won’t be a fool claiming I am worth one though I can’t become one.
So now I am waiting for my last result and the upcoming GD/PI. If I get thru then well and good or else I have this current IT life to live ahead.
Just wish me luck :D
P.S. The post was written in office in evening and I have posted it now.
This is the song which is completely on my mind from last few days. To enlighten you more about it, this is a qawali by Aziz Nazaan and it was one of the song I admired too much, much before I got introduced to rock moozik :-) and it’s a song I heard first...a real long time back.
I still remember that I was a school going kid may be of 5th or 6th standard and there used to be a Ganpati Installation in our colony and then there has to be an Orchestra on one of the days and once there was this particular set of guys who sang this song. I still remember that they all were sitting down in a typical qawali singing postion with their handkerchiefs on their heads. And when they started singing, I caught almost all the lines and got lost in the song.
After that I never heard the song again but then thanks to Arpit’s Dad that he has a great music collection and once in my college life I found one CD with all famous qawalis and then I again got introduced to this beautiful song and then I got so fuckin addicted to it, used to hear it like at least 3 4 times a day and then one day these guys got almost irritated and I guess they hid that CD somewhere and then I could not find it anywhere and again I almost forgot the song. But by this matured time of college life I could get the message conveyed by the song, its wordings and the deepest meaning of life I have ever read and it just got inscribed in my mind permanently.
I never forgot the song but could not get it from anywhere, I won't say I tried too much but then just like that.
And then few days back while discussing with one of my friend(Jaya) again I remembered it and then since now I have internet access, before I could again forget it I just got it from net, as I believe there is no single thing you cannot find on net and the only god I believe is GOOGLE.
Now this is the only hindi song in my iPOD (actually urdu) and man I listen to it like twice a day at least and it makes me feel great.
All those reading this post I would like to recommend this song to u. Just try it once and I bet you won't disagree with the message passed and the beautiful meaningful way in which the entire span of human life has been described by the lyricist and the depth in the voice of the singer.
That’s all I can say…I just love this qawali.
Chadta Suraj Dheere-Dheere Dhalta hai Dhal Jaayega
Just click here to view and hear the song on youtube and you can get the lyrics from anywhere on net.
Band C is not Band Contest here :-) It’s my rating in my company. I remember I have never mentioned about my work anywhere in my blog. For the unaware people if they ever read this blog, I am working as a software engineer in TCS (Tata Consultancy Services).
Few days back I got my appraisal done and got placed in band C that means 3 out of 5. Ya I know its not a thing to be proud about or something since there are people getting 4 and 5 (B and A) but the thing to be happy about is that there are many other people who have been placed in band D and E as well (2 and 1 out of 5) and that’s really dangerous now in this recession.
I remember that I got placed in Band D last year and I was so fuckin tensed and frustrated cuz of it. I had been a part of 2 projects in that financial year and still I was rated as an under performer but later it got changed (this is also a long story…may be someday will become one other post). But that time system default rating was 2 and hence it was one of the valid points for me to get it changed. System default rating is for people who have been on bench for the entire year; say they didn’t get any work or responsibilities.
Anyways the thing is that this year TCS changed its default rating to 1 and hence many people have been rated 2 out of 5 even after being a part of project for much time of the year. Also my 1st half yearly rating was around 3.6 but my 2nd half yearly rating was just 2.69 which was a point of concern for me and I was very much sure that I am gonna get fuckin D this time too but fortunately everything went well and now I have Band C.
So I am happy :-)
P.S. : TCS rating system is not satisfactory for all. Last year my H1 and H2 were 3.4 and 3.5 approximately but still I got 2.
Right now I am at Romi’s flat in Pune and its too fuckin hot here...The climate is so sweaty just like in Mumbai...You just can't get along with it everywhere...In Mumbai u can’t bear the sweat and mandatorily u have to bath twice a day...especially when u come back from office...and then the irritation in your groin...it’s intolerable cruelty :D ... in the day time when you get out on streets you can simply sweat to death ( I don’t know if this is an existing phrase :-) )
The reason for me writing this post is that whenever I have a talk with my friends and then everybody starts telling something bout their hometowns and then when it comes to my hometown “Nagpur” everybody exclaims “Man...it’s hot like hell there...unbearable heat and stuff” ... but right now there is no difference between most of the Indian cities and Nagpur...as far as the climate comes in picture...atleast in Nagpur there is dry heat unlike cities like Mumbai...and again since Nagpur is not so much Industrial...there is very less pollution.
So the final conclusion is that global warming may be soon reaching its peak leaving most parts of India to burn and it's time for everyone to start taking measures to control it...as Anya has already mentioned in his post...hope everyone realises it soon.
Its just 6 days that I have got the connection and seriously my daily routine has become worse. I am already so nocturnal and now cuz of internet I am again stressing myself. I need to sleep…I am sleeping for just 6 hours daily now…as you guys know I used to sleep like 9 hours on weekdays too…so 6 hours is kinda difficult…I feel so damn sleepy sometimes in office specially after lunch.
What am I doin? Even I don’t know… I am not watching many movies either…I am just downloading…ya download was something I wanted to do a lot…and I am actually doing it so…in last just 6 days I have downloaded more than 8 Gb of movies…all kinda ;-) and some moozik related stuff too…I am utilizing each penny of what I have paid…but man I need to see the movies too…think I need to revive my daily routine.
I also wanted to blog a lot…which actually I haven’t done…atleast not to my satisfaction…but now I have decided I will…I love to write.
So that is it…sleep is something I need…schedule is something I need to renew…lets wait and watch.
So lemme end with what I have started…So ja saale…Net kahi nahin ja raha !! this is what anya told me online on the very 1st night after I got the connection :-)

First of all a very Happy New Year to all of you. I never believed that I will ever be dead so long on my blog but then many things happen unexpectedly.
Anyways some exams and then my sim got corrupted and then all this caused this effect.
No further excuses...all i wanna say right now is that I think I may need some more time to get back on track.
Right now I don't have any connectivity to blog.
At this moment I have come to Akshay's place in bandra and just thought of writing this post.
