    And my guru @ guitar.. Ashish… plays really really well.. God Bless him 🙂

    Oh.. and Tushar is learning Salsa these days…

    once both of us are purrfect… i play the guitar.. and then he dances 😀

    hehehe..

    and you can be the audience.. and throw money at us.. just make sure that you do not throw coins 😀

  • WeEkEnD…. EnDs…. TOooo SOoooN…

    some of my friends are thinking what has happened to me.. and why the last two posts do not seem to be written from heart…

    well.. they are generating some money for me.. thats why… am increasing the page ranking of a few sites and get paid for it… while they go ahead and enjoy the high backlinks…

    for the benefit of ppl who come here to read about me… i will mark such commercial posts with a {C} like Tushar does…

    and now about the weekend…
    saturday… umm.. no no.. friday night.. the plan for rishikesh got cancelled.. and i was in no mood to go back home…

    where else could i go..

    Gurgaon.. yess.. Arobindo… called him up.. he was home.. so i went there… and enroute.. had a roll at tha Kathis in Saket… and met up with Ashi… her office has a LandRover to take them around.. what the heck !!!

    Ok.. Aro’s place.. and then to Hughes… met up with Narang… he is a big man now… and checked out his new babe.. the new City… lovely.. i feel so glad when i see him moving ahead..

    dinner at the pizza hut followed… got a pizza packed for narang too.. and then met him again… and slept peacefully at Aro’s…

    saturday morning came back home… was tired… sleepy.. and still went out to sector-18.. don’t even remember why… but i remember meeting naveeen… and having coffeee @ costa… and buying a book…

    sunday…

    went out with mom dad…

    saw Iqbal.. and loved the movie.. i think i will get all the movies by Nagesh.. he is a wonderful director…

    evening.. did some shopping in Lajpat Nagar.. bought two new pairs of shoes… nice.. eh 🙂 one kaala joota… and one casual joota… ekdum masta…

    and i realised… that the jeans that i love to love… is giving up on me… this holi might be the last time that i wear it…

    and monday comes a li’il too fast… ugh !!!

    waiting for next friday again…

    rishikesh jaana hai 🙂

  • GrEeDy NoW….

    why am i doing this…

    first i thought i have some money and a few coins should be good enough for me…

    and now i found out that i could actually buy silver bars… hehehe imagine…

    like in the old movies i have that tijori with a huge door…

    with a lot of money inside it..

    and these gold and silver bars and all… but then doesn’t that make me kinda prone to attacks… some peope might want to just lootofy me…

    and then i need protection… and what if i am not able to do that for myself…

    i would need to hire some guards or something… if this was the US then these new york personal injury advisors would have been of help for sure.. but is something of that sort available in india? i am not sure…

    would you know of anything?

  • tHiNkiNg…

    My birthday is near….

    April…

    The financial year starts… money comes to pockets and then is spent…

    i am thinking of buying silver coins for myself… well… why is that surprising… i am actually expecting my friends to buy me things like the lens i need, the leh trip i have been waiting for… or if not anything else.. then how about just a few gift baskets full of goodies…

    anyone game ?

    🙂

    😀

  • LiMiTeD…

    tushar says my thinking and photography is limited by my philosophy….

    i agree..

    i have not thought or even made a slight effort (sorry about that tushar) to get technically sound with photography… although i have like a million questions on how to do this and how to do that… and the answer is going to come from?

    READING…

    uh… brings me back to something that i am not good at… reading… but i guess i will have to leave that mind-block aside to grow… thanks tushar for being a pain and making me think this…

    coming back to photography…

    i have thought of a theme.. a message… a story… a moment with all my fotos… and not of the ISO, or the Shutter Speed or the Aperture so far… i want to graduate to a DSLR and do all this… that is when i will also have data to analyse.. today a film based SLR does not let me remember the F-value or the Shutter Speed for every one of those 36 shots… anyway… this is not an excuse but a realisation of whats not being done…

    and reading… i have promised tushar that i will read “A train to Pakistan” in two days as required by him… so be it…

    and we went to Costa to have Coffee today…. the Primo, the Medio and something else is the cup size there… oops… the Coffee cup size i meant…

    and then we did not really a lot of good gurls in the sector18 today…. so we came back sooner then usual…

    oh and i want to read “Spouse” by Shoba De… hudd hai… now i want to read books that talk about a happy married life.. huh !!! and i bought the “Malgudi Landscapes – The best of R.K. Narayan” ab padunga…

    and i uploaded a foto of the Howrah Bridge on my photo-blog…

    and i want to rest now…

    but i do not want to…

    abhi chalta hoon…
    phir milta hooon…

    🙂

  • jUst LiKe ThAt !!!

    yesterday was one of the nicer drives back home…

    forget about the traffic jam… thats ok… especially after I have seen the situation in Banglore and Mumbai… i have stopped complaining about the roads or the situation on the roads in delhi… its atleast a 1000 times better if not more..

    so moved our of the usual traffic jams and reached the toll breeze… oops.. its the toll bridge… and i was enjoying the breeze…

    awesome… driving at a comfortable 50 kmph… with the windows rolled down.. and some of my favorite numbers playing… its time like these when i do not mind the cars overtaking me like crazy at all…

    and reached home…

    and got a wonderful news from a friend… happy women’s day ho gaya ekdum mera bhi uska bhi… God bless her !!!

    and the morning drive to office was good too…

    i could see the blue sky and the white clouds in my rear view mirror.. and i hated myself for not carrying a camera with me today… aaargh !!!

    moments moments moments.. they do not get repeated…

    and i have managed to survive 9 days in this month without my salary… and i am going for rafting tomorrow…

    and tushar has written in his blog that he has not gone outta delhi this year so far… i thought i will also write about where all i have been to in 2006…

    • 2005 wished me good luck and went away when i was in chennai at deepak’s place…
    • moved to banglore from there…
    • and then had that wonderful one day trip to Mysore…
    • Kolkata followed…

    thats all for Jan’06

    and Feb saw me going to

    • Bharatpur
    • Mussoorie
    • and my village… not too far away but it was a drive and a wonderful experience… so three trips in feb…

    march is here…
    first trip to rishikesh… Rafting… i am addicted to this sport… and i plan to do it at least twice every year till i can…

    whats planned for the rest of the year…

    • Rishikesh again in april…
    • Singapore ( thought of it a few days back.. might want to buy my camera from there.. instead of india)
    • Dharamshaala and McLeodganj ( Drive for 4 days) can’t forget the funn when i went to uttranchal last year on a drive.. love you radha…
    • Rajasthan ( Drive again.. in winters 2006… a week this time)

    all of these look doable as of now… unless things take a turn.. and i take up a project outside india.. which i would love to… lets see…

    wish me luck.. while i pray for the wellbeing of human kind 😀 …oh.. and you ofcourse…

  • CoNvOzzzz…. & MoRe…

    have not written about whats been happening for a while now…

    dunno why…

    was just too tired to write i guess…

    anyway…

    i think the last weekend was something i really would like to write about.. not because it had something special associated with it.. but because i would like to write.. and not be my usual lazy self…

    saturday… spent in searching for a lense for my camera… and ending up in more confusion because of the variation in price with multiple dealers… actually i think that happened for good.. because the camera that i am going to buy might just be different then wat i was thinking… so not reaching any conclusion as of now.. i am going to spend some more time in researching to reach a mature decision…

    the other highlight of the day was…
    meeting Rohit and Richa.. and Richa… kinda excited on seeing Rohit for the first time.. and screaming.. “he is sooo cute”… saturday also saw her being in love with some vocalist of her college band… its so easy to be in love i think… everyone should be in love.. with a lot of people…

    and saturday also saw me and tushar thinking about the age difference we had with rohit and richa… who suddenly looked kids for some reason… and we thought about us reaching a certain level of maturity with age.. which they will too… in due course of time…

    and saturday also saw us travelling in the public transport of delhi… not really willing to keep standing… waiting on the bus stand for an empty bus and so on.. with the ending with a refreshing litchi ice tea @ my favorite tea shop… this is where an interesting conversation started.. and it was continued on sunday too…

    some of the words and sentences that i remember of the conversation i had in the last two days with tushar…

    kids, age, maturity, i cannot read, i need to look for the right book to read to start with, my willingness towards conversations then reading books, the marriage proposals reaching my home… the conversations at home about them… my total 100% cluelessness about how to take them anywhere… my total confusion about how someone can figure out if they really want to spend rather can spend the REST OF THEIR LIVES TOGETHER… one of my uncles talking to my mom about a girl.. and stressing the fact that she has done her education in english medium… me thinking and realising that somewhere around my city itself… studying in english medium makes you better then others… me and tushar talking about how the priorities change when it comes to getting married…how we did not talk about if the gurl had any affairs in the past.. but we only talking about how she could mix up with the existing set of friends one has… and how she would be able to cope up with different kinds of societies the guy is a part of.. his family, his friends, and his office… how being beautiful is not the biggest reason why i would marry someone… and in between… oogling at the hotties around in sector-18… and not really talking about marriage and girls and only about how hott the girls looked in what they were wearing.. and how they would look with lesser clothes.. and talking about how we would like to record all our conversations and then post them on the blogs… and that we would make a questionaire for women which they could and would fill up and give to the men.. and how we would like to do this as a business… and so on and so forth…

    i am sure i have not been able to write even 30% of what me and tushar talked about.. but then the crux of the matter is… that life is totally not solved and confusing when it comes to getting married…

    so enjoy folks while i continue to write about the state of mind i would be in on every proposal that comes to my place…

    and how life takes different turns while the days pass by….

    and also we talked about why i could not get into a relationship right now.. because if i am having an affair.. big or small… i would loose the freedom of looking for a life partner for me.. unless the girl also in the state of mind which allows her to let me do this.. which is kinda a toughie…

    and also.. how the girls also were keen on making out with their boyfriends… but they still waiting for a good while before they let their guy touch them… and tushar wondering about why that permit cannot be given in 6 hours instead of 6 months or 6 weeks.. or whatever…

    am i forgetting something…

    i guess i am..

    and the more i try to think about what it is.. the more blank my mind is feeling right now…

    so good night… have fun.. be safe…
