  • Life ka Maza!!!!

    I am getting to realize what keeps me happy!!!!

    Its simple…

    Doing a lot of things together!!!

    Its like a catalog of things that I have to have in my mind, and I need to start and stop my activities… It keeps me going…

    If I am doing just one thing… I end up being very restless and dissatisfied with myself!

  • टोटल विन विन

    बेटा : पापा ऑफिस नहीं जाओगे?

    पापा : जाऊंगा… थोडा देर से!
    बेटा : मैं भी उसी साइड जा रहा हूँ! १०० रूपये दोगे तो फ्री में ड्रॉप कर दूंगा!
    पापा : हम्म!!! चल चलता हूँ!
    बेटा : ड्रॉप करने के बाद ! पापा, १०० रूपये?
    पापा : ले बेटा! ऐश कर!
    इसको बोलते हैं टोटल विन विन situation!

  • Why the fkk!!!!!

    Someone please help me understand

    • Why is Kasab’s death sentence even worth a discussion?
    • Where were the so called human rights activists, when these bastards were shooting people away to glory?
    • Why is one person who is apparently just another contract killer (assuming that he was just paid to shoot and had nothing personal to do with it) worth so much time, money, and effort?
    • Why can’t India behave like US did after 911?

    Though I feel very positive about this country, there is very little which lets one keep feeling that positive for a long time!!!!

    Damn it!

  • Vidambna!

    If

    Geek Dog! Greek God!
    Greek Dog! Geek God!
    Greek God! Greek Dog!
    Geek Dog! Greek Dog!

  • 30on30 Again!!!!

    However this time around, its Paromita who is celebrating her birthday by trying to do something for the society!
    Her initiative Deepdana is aimed at raising Rs. 30000 in 30 days, by selling some of her selected photography work!
    Paromita is a photographer of immense talent, and this intent of giving something back to the not so privileged, definitely warrants for a lot of support! Please do visit the initiative website, please do spread the word, please do connect back with her to contribute!
    Everything helps!!!
    I am personally very happy that even though I was not able to do anything special for my birthday this year, 30on30 had an impact which is more than just the collection of Rs. 79000. Paromita is doing a 30on30 this year, and who knows there would be 10 more people who do more 30th year celebrations by trying to do something for the world! Makes all the effort absolutely worth it!!! Thank you and congratulations Paromita for keeping 30on30 alive!

  • randomization!

    Blah!!!
    Chuck it!!!! I do not want to think about the fact that getting about 6-7 hours of sleep these days is a luxury, thanks to the bucketloads of things that are happening in my life currently!!! I however feel very sad that Jas was here in India and I was not able to give her anytime. I am really sorry Jas!
    Pa, on my request, found the weights that have not been used for the last 3 years… Loads of dust, coupled with rust makes them look sad, but they still weigh the same 🙂 and a bit of cleaning and oiling the bolts would make them work just right! the first step to some light weights happened today in the morning! good!
    Am trying to figure out how to make time for some photography or related work… I have not been able to edit a single photo in about 2 months! There is no mention o a quick Jaipur trip on my blog or my flickr page! and there are atleast 30 odd photographs that I still need to transfer to my laptop! Am thinking of giving photography a break for a while and restart afreash sometime in future! Knowing myself, I would not be able to stay away from it for long!
    Am also doing very exciting things at work! Very new to me and probably a unique role otherwise too, and there are times when I struggle because till the time I do not know which side the shore is, I do not really like to swim! And this time around, its wide open spaces all around for now! Lets see how things shape up with time!
    The Beat is running very fine!!! Its still extremely silent after 2000kms on the dash! I love the way this car moves around in slow traffic, quick response time, decent airconditioning, sharp turning radius and comfortable sitting, make this a good city car! and I am realising that driving a sedan in city traffic is not really worth it! so hatchbacks its going to be for me in the city!!!
    Here is a song that I have been listening to and enjoying since my college days, and I am still very very fond of it, me being able to sing it decently being one of the few reasons for it as well!

  • देखो एक बेचारा

    सुबह सवेरे उठकर, बॉस फाइल अभी लाया चिल्ला रहा है!

    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    सपने में भी मीटिंग्स schedule और reschedule करा रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    रोज़ सुबह रोज़ शाम
    ट्राफ्फिक में फसा हुआ
    इधर से उधर और उधर से इधर जाते लोगों को देख
    बिना सोचे समझे होर्न बजा रहा है
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    रविवार की सुबह से ही सोमवार की सुबह का ग़म उसे तडपा रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    शाम होने तक न उससे कुछ समझ आता, न वो कुछ समझा पा रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    इश्क मोहब्बत प्यार इज़हार
    ऐसे लफ़्ज़ों का future उससे सिर्फ अन्धकार में नज़र आ रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    जो करना नहीं चाहता वो ही किये जा रहा रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!
    जो करने का दिल करता है, बस वही नहीं कर पा रहा है!
    देखो एक बेचारा काम पर जा रहा है!

  • Have a happy blog!!!!

    A blog is the easiest place to vent out, and for a lot of reasons…
    1. It does not judge you
    2. It does not jump on to resolving your so called problems
    3. It stays with you irrespective of how much of sadness you have in your life. As a matter of fact, the sadder you are, the closer a blog seems to be
    4. It does not differentiate between emotional bursts, or sadness, or mood swings, or stupidity or enlightenment
    5. It will agree to everything that you say… and make you feel better about saying it!
    All of it is, however coming at a cost which a lot of us do not probably realise…
    1. We get to read a lot of sad stuff, on our blog, or someone elses
    2. Blog hopping could end up being a pretty depressing activity if sadness continues to be pumped to the virtual world at this rate
    3. And blah and blah!!!!!
    So my personal take on it…
    keep it happy keep it simple
    Inside out!!!
    Let me end with a beautiful track from my all time favorite “Everything is Illuminated” with the same title…

  • Tea Talk

    There are really only three kinds of tea

    1. Robust Black Teas, made from leaves that have been allowed to ferment

    2. Delicate green teas, which are steamed instead of fermented; and

    3. In-between oolong teas, which are only partially fermented!

  • Nothing to do!

    So used to being caught up in something or the other, a day to relax does not seem to fit into the larger schema of things!

    I should go find something to do!

    Only after
    I take Meera for her first service
    I finish my meeting in the afternoon
    and I complete the checklist of things that papa has given!
