you never get to find out how the weekend and the day after that get over… the only day that takes longest for me is Monday… and this time it got over in a second too… maybe because I did not get time to see the time… meetings after meetings.. Presentation preparations and more and more…

activities done over the weekend:
~ nothing was done on Saturday… the hardest and the slowest thing to do it this!!!
~ Sid the smartie sloth went to watch Da Vinci Code on Sunday and almost understood the movie except for the 5403 words that they used… which means he needs to work on his English…
~ Sid also met another cartoon on Sunday… and spent about 4 hours with her… which was fun.. Initially both of them did not know what to talk about before they realised that both of them were cartoons and insane… and this is where the conversation picked up from… this cartoon with Sid was a very nice one… she looks good… Talks nicely… and told a lot of things about herself… Which were all nice… so Sid is now looking for bad things about her… he for some reason is not interested in finding what’s good about her… I guess that comes on its way automatically.

Weekend ENDS!!!

MONDAY came… and WENT… as quickly as you read this line…

Tuesday phew… early morning alarm…. 0500 hrs… I rushed to the airport to catch the Mumbai bus… uffo… airbus 🙂 and trust me Volvo’s are better… at least there is no expectation to see a hott airhostess… here you first enter the airport to see some nice faces.. which you do not… and then the aircraft in a dying hope of having the company of some short skirted pretty chicks… which obviously does not happen…

and I think the chicks on the INDIAN airlines were better then this flight of JET !!! The breakfast was ok sorts…

Pune Airport is pretty small… Bangalore is smaller!!! Huh!!!
Got a cab… rushed to Pimpri just to realise that the meeting was delayed by a good couple of hours… so did not have a phone… did not have the net… and did not have anything better to do then spend time going through the same prez which I was working on for past two days…

oh.. And I saw the largest ever canteen in my entire life there in Pune!!! Phew…

did not forget to mention that the weather was excellent… I am sure Delhi was burning when it was raining there in Pune… went to the guest house in the evening and slept peacefully before waking up at 0600 hrs today… rushed to catch the Volvo to Mumbai…

and today … all my charm for the Volvos came to an end.. because of the very badly kept State Transport Volvo 🙁 dirty bus, shaking seats, leaking AC vents, what not) and to make things worse.. They had dark film on the windows… which meant that I would not be able to enjoy the view of the so called one of the best expressways in the country properly…

anyway… couldn’t help it much…

it took about 50 minutes before we hit the actual expressway and I reached Mumbai in a li’il less then 3.5 hours…

two things that I loved about the journey…
~ the 10 km stretch before and after lonavla…never see this wide roads on hills…
~ the road quality… I am sure its going to be awesome driving with Radha on this road…

the view was ok sorts…. I have seen better…

went straight to JJMEHTA & Sons in Dadar(W) to return disappointed as they did not have the lens that I was looking for.. The one that they had was overpriced because of the unavailability…

now in Malad…. have the return flight around 2200 hrs… can’t wait to get back to Delhi…

Nidhi…”i am not sure….“

Nikhil…” i am…. i cannot see tears in your eyes… i cannot imagine you crying… i cannot think of a day when you are not smiling… “

Nidhi…”why…“

Nikhil…” because the only person i want you to be with when you are crying is me… the only shoulder i want your head on when you are crying is mine… the only fingers who wipe your tears away when you are crying should be mine… the only arms that hold you tight when you cry should be mine… and I know this can never happen.. so you better not cry….“

…this is a scene from one of the movies I am going to direct sometime in my life….

I have an alarm to get up at 0630 hours… but i do not remember when i really got up when the alarm rang for the the first time… i keep snoozing it for 5 minutes till it does not give me the option anymore… and then i have to get up !!!

Today… when I got ready and came out of the house… it was very hot… not because of the sun because there was none visible in the sky… there were clouds and some mist…

It was hot like you are standing inside a room which is being heated… the entire air was like that… Something felt wrong…

It was a very depressing weather… and I am going to talk about things which do not make me happy for a while now…

To start with the disadvantage India has with its politicians…. the power that has been given to these guys… so while we all are angry with Arjun Singh… and not happy with the decisions the Government is making… how many of us have actually promised ourself that we are going to vote the next time there are elections.. and also would ensure that we ask as many ppl as we can to vote…

I know of so many ppl who have enjoyed vacation when there were election days and also crib about the government at the first instance…

so while I think the country is being run by a handful of idiots along with some intelligent powerless politicians… Its we who also have a major role to play in this entire drama!!!

Now!!!

When I am depressed because of anything there are a few things I want to do… the first of-course is drive and listen to music… which I did… Radha is the PERFECT companion when things do not seem right!!! And music in the car obviously does not need any mention here…

So what do I listen to today…? Mehfuz… Euphoria’s new Album… wonderfully made… a lot of effort is there in the tracks… and the band seems to have matured with time a lot… but there is something that disappointed me… There was not one song that could cheer me up the way “Dhoom” or “Maeri” or “Gully” or “Kaise Bhoolegi Mera Naam” did… which means that I am not going to go back to this album when I need to be happy!!!

that brings to a happier thought… what all do I do when I want to cheer up…

~ I drive…

~ I listen to music… some of the songs in particular are “Kabhi Aana Tu Meri Galli”, ” Kaise Bhoolegi Mera Naam”, ” Meri Pyaari Bindu- Original”,”Jaaneman Jaaneman Tere Ye Do Nayan, chori chori Lekegaye Dekho Mera Mann”, ” Ek Ladki bheegi bhaagi si”, “Ek Chatur Naar”, “Getting Jiggy With it”, “Summer of 69”, “Sweet Child o Mine”, and lots more…

~ I eat… and my favourite places are street side stalls or dhabas… I am just not a restaurant fellow… Streets it is for me 🙂

~ I talk… there are a few friends I always can think of when I am not feeling too good…

~ I sit alone… and look at the sky… not that it cheers me up all the time… but then it relaxes me a lot…

What do you do to cheer yourself up?

i did not get time the entire day today to write about the weekend… what a shame… and i was saying that i was not busy with a lot of work… chi chi…

anyway…

a lot of time today was spent in orkutting… and some regular office work… but what is interesting was the weekend… and here is the weekend-o-logue

Saturday started early because of some long overdue catching up to do with a few friends…

met Sayan first… and showed her some of the photographs that i have clicked in the past one year… she is the person who is going to give me a break as a professional photographer and that makes me very proud of her and myself too…

next in the line to meet me was Richa… and she looked HOTT with her nose stud!!!

next we met Deepu….. second time after he has come back from Chennai… the dude still looks super cool…

and then Rohit… the same S and F fella….

oh and by the way… Rohit and Richa are pyaar se called Kidda and Kiddi… i dunno who has given then these names… but the names are very cute…

and after we climbed up the stairs of Taste of China, Abash aka amtg joined us with a badly bruised left hand… some assoholotic car driver was responsible for this halat of this dude…

and then something very interesting started… my childhood friend Ankur while trying to find the Taste of Chine roamed around the entire CP and finally reached the “flavours of China” before he realised that he is in front of the wrong restaurant… and then called me to find the correct place… did not understand the direction even after two calls… however managed to reach ToC about 45 minutes after the scheduled time 😛

while this was happening.. Prashant Bhardwaj and Om for some celebrated his birthday with some of this best online pals… a cake cutting ceremony was there… followed by some nice singing by everyone around… and on demand “babuji zara dheere chalo” was also chanted… once all of this was done.. everyone ate the cake and lived happily ever after !!!

So Ankur and with him Anku also joined us !!!

a series of discussions followed which included…

why is October associated with the number eight.. and why octopuses are most horny in the month of October…

we learnt and practised a new grammar where in if you have to use the work Fcuk… you use it in front of the word.. and if you have to use the $uck you use it after the word with an $ at the end… e.g. Fcuk the glass… and the glass $uck$… we guys even thought of taking over the workshop that Sayan was going to attend and change the topic to Rohit’s new grammar… kidda got offended a li’il but he was fine after a while…

we talked about the food…

we talked about ODMs… Anku did not know what ODMs are.. so her knowledge was increased with some Gyan on it…

we talked about a lot of things other then the above… and that meant a whole lot of fun… which finally came to a temporary halt after the money for the food was collected…

next we said ta tu to sayan who left for her workshop..

and then ta tu to Anku.. who left !!! she did not tell us where was she going… and it might have offended her if i asked.. so i did not ask either 🙂

and palika is where we reached next.. bought a few movies…

Matrix Triology

Munich

MI – III

The fast and the furious/2 fast 2 furious/ XXX and XXX2

and one more.. ab yaad nai kaunsi !!!

went back home soon after that…

evening was spent at home taking care of the construction work !! things are kinda shaping up at home right now..

Sunday was spent in some regular home stuff… going to the market to buy some electrical sockets.switches.etc.etc. discussing the stairs in the house.. and a lot of other things…

and then comes Monday.. the sabse ganda day of the week after Sunday !!!

the best part about the day was…

~ getting some compliments from Anku 😛 and getting into some conversation with her about instructional designing and all 🙂

~ getting angry over some things in the office and telling a few ppl about how things should work… getting angry and taking that anger out at the right ppl is so satisfying at times…

~ completing the work i had thought about in good time…

~ and being able to write this post..

to abhi chalta hoon.. phir milta hoon 🙂

bhagwaan hum sabko sadbuddhi de 🙂

guess what did i do today…

ok.. forget it… i will tell you…

i used to think that ABS (Anti-Lock Brakes) means Disc Brakes in the rear wheels… and was wondering how come the Swift and the Accent Viva have Drum brakes and still claim to have ABS.. while a Corolla has a Disc Brake and also has an ABS ( which looked right to me )

so i finally decide to research and read about it…

the first stop was the yahoo answers site.. i have been looking at its banner for a while now on the DND.. but it did not have a lot of good content in this context.. and next i went to the site where i get all my answers… not about life though…

jai ho howstuffworks.com ki
so i read about
ABS

and then I read about the
Disc Brakes

and i now carry some more knowledge then what i had about 2 hours back..

and hey…

i also read about Toyota Innova today… i love that car…

so if you want you can talk to me about three more topics now…

• Anti-Lock Breaks
• Disc Breaks
• Innova…

am i cool or what 🙂

oh… and this is how my house is looking these days….

looks like i am down to writing only weekend posts 🙂

shweta are you still loving it * in the Mc Donalds tone*

well… this weekend was different from the other ones so far… spent in dust, heat, soil etc etc… there was not much that i was doing.. however resting and getting out was certainly out of question…

wanted to go to Chandni Chowk to get some film rolls for the trip, but did not go… thanks to the unbearable heat outside…

sunday was more or less a repeat of saturday… except the time spent at the workshop….
got the car washed properly…. and the wheel balancing and the alignment done….

came home and polished the car… and she is looking hott now…

and then came monday… sooner then needed… and i am in the office…. not feeling like working at all….

hoping that the next two days quickly get over… wednesday night i have to get out of delhi for dharamshaala…

anyone joining me?

the last two days have been really busy in office…. phew…

and summers have arrived in delhi… it only makes sense to reach office before 0900 hrs.. so that i can save myself from the traffic as well as the heat…

and not leave office before the sun sets… bad bad summer…

construction would start at home today… we are building a floor for ourself.. any ideas, contact details and suggestions on the interiors/exteriors/furniture/paint combo/ flooring/kitchen works would be appreciated…

and i am getting back to work now…
