Equations
Perception = What you communicated (+/-) what you really wanted to communicate (+) what the other person believed…Now here the variables are What you communicated and what you really wanted to communicate… because if the other person believes something already, it does not matter how you say or what you say… both the first variables are multiplied by zero and the other person’s belief stays constant…

Howzzzzattttt !!!
You want to watch a match… sit in front of the TV…You want to live a match… go see it live!!!
Bhangra, Screams, Dance, Drums, Fours, Sixes, Bouncers, Wickets, Excitement, Electricity… and lots more I witnessed while Delhi Daredevils won over the Royal Challengers…
Every time a DDD batsman would hit a four or a six, the crowd would just erupt into screams and dance… and I also did practice my dancing skills on the dhol beats standing on the chairs 🙂
it was quite funny if I think about it now !!!I don’t think if I saw more than 10 overs in all, but I was there throughout and enjoying every second of it… dancing and screaming and jumping all around 🙂

A To Do and Done list…
Things to do when you are not too well :
1. Go out and spend time doing something that takes your mind away from the sickness !!! like I did… went out with the DFC gang ( about 20 of them is what I counted :), there could be more)
The Camera Party… 
Mon and Sonu at the Fort…
I am not very comfortable being clicked… but your logic just does not work at times…So the sunday morning well spent @ Tuglaqabad fort… followed by a session of Hindi Scrabble at the Saket Barista !!!
Nandita, Arun and Japs…
Monika and Sonu again…
The ladies in the DFC… Concept : Sonu; clicked by Me…
I am not too fond of Chocolate, but for some reason I don’t mind having it these days…
Thoughts going into the game of Hindi Scrabble @ Barista Saket…Absolute fun… its only when I was back that I realized how low on energy I was…
2. A couple of short and long naps during the day
3. Buy a Cycle ! Yes… I bought a cycle, A Hercules MTB; 6 gears, and drove it to home through the small streets enjoying the zip, while Aro, the actual owner of the new cycle followed me in a car 😀
4. Be; Do what you like, what makes you feel better, and try and not feel too bad about things around !!!
5. Buy pearl necklaces for Mom…
6. Meet someone who without any selfish interest says something about you that makes a lot of sense… and then says it about Aro, and leaves us speechless !
7. Fight with one of your best friends over smallest of things like why is it that he cannot sit properly while eating, and why he has to laugh when you are feeling so low
8. Discuss Hitler, Jews, Kite Runner, Red Bands (Read Ray Bans), and lots more !!!
9. Hope for a great day the next day !!

A week that finished in just 5 days !!!!
Back from a quick trip from Bangalore… Did not even realize how quick the last week was !!!Starting everyday at 0630 and finishing only around 0130 hrs was not really easy !!! but then I better get used to something like this for the times to come…
C’mon Give it to me 🙂 lets see it !
I want to bring back the trees from Bangalore, Delhi is amazing in many many ways but the biggggggest minus is the amount of trees that I don’t see and could have been there !!!
I hope someone is looking at that in addition to all the amazing work that is going on in and around Delhi !
The flight first got delayed at Bangalore… and then it was not allowed a landing in Delhi for about 45 minutes… Some navigation systems were being checked and caused that delay… and there was so much turbulence during these 45 minutes that it almost killed me !!! Had food sometime back, and then this turbulence… reached home with one of the worst acidity situations 🙁 the entire food pipe and stomach was burning like hell 🙁
but never mind !!!
Lets look at the brighter side…
I am back home…
well.. umm… ok let me think of more…I can click again 🙂 I did not take my camera along…
I can attempt watching one of the IPL matches live… Not that I am cricket fan or something, but I have always wanted to see a match live… nothing better than watching something that finishes in about 4 hours and is in the evenings and is a game that you understand too..
rest later..
I need to figure out a way to take care of this ultra-burning inside me right now !

Games HE Plays…
When HE starts playing, no one else wins !!!
And yes I am complaining to you Uncle God ! Aa rahe hain na maje tumko full full !
About 3.5 hours later….
OK Sorry ! I will appreciate what I have… Par tum dhyaan rakhna mera ! Smaller things make the biggest difference in my life, and you better remember that.. Achcha na sorry ! kitni baar bolun?
And thank you for the conversation in the evening and that opportunity to drive around and to that place 😛 🙂 Tum utne bure nai ho jitna behave karte ho kabhi kabhi 🙂
Love you Uncle 🙂

MP Diaries : Bhopal to Ujjain
We had slept pretty late last night, and were not sure what was in store for us today… so the mood was lazy, and the conversations slow..but at the back of our minds we knew there was much to see, and much to go to… so we kinda picked up some pace and go ready around 1130 hrs and had our breakfast at a Haldiram types restaurant just outside our hotel !!!
Oh, yes ! I am back to finishing off my MP travelogue 🙂
Here are the first few parts if you have missed them :
Delhi – Kanha
Kanha and around
Kanha to BhopalWe wanted to go to Bhojpur, had heard nice things about it, a 1000 year old incomplete temple, world’s tallest Shivling etc etc and we also wanted to go to Ujjain… ok I wanted to go to Ujjain (I feel some connection with Shiva and hence all the Jyotirlings come into the list of places I feel good about; and the Shivling @ Ujjain happens to be called MahaKaal too)
Talked to a few people and found out that there was an intercity express to Ujjain from Bhopal at 1700 hrs and will take 4 hours to reach Ujjain…
Now this made perfect sense, we could take an auto, go to Bhojpur come back, pack our bags and leave for Ujjain… come back to Bhopal tomorrow and take it from there… super..
So after talking to a few Autowallahs, and doing some bit of not to successfull bargaining we agreed to give the guy 270 bucks to take us to Bhojpur ( around 25 kms away from Bhopal) and bring us back…
The drive was fine, the sun not too strong and once we were out of the city between the farms it actually became must pleasent !!! I realised how much Wheat MP must be producing looking at the wast span of the golden fields all around !!! lovely view it was… Did stop at a few places to enjoy the calm and finally reached Bhojpur…
The Sprinklers for Wheat Fields…
The temple is massive, and was my second stop next to the river Betwa (The first being Orccha), and we were surprised at the size of the Shivling too… no wonder !
A Kiddo who was there with his parents for a Pooja…
Renovation work in progress at the Bhojpur Temple…We spent a good couple of hours at the temple before we decided to move back to Bhopal and catch the train !!!
Aro at Bhojpur
A Local Musician at Bhojpur…
The return journey was equally nice and we did manage to reach the station on time too, rather before time… I remember buying the tickets and then coming out of the station to eat something… how could we not…
So this time… we had rasmalai, some other local mithai, some tea, and some cold drinks, not in this order though 🙂
Soon enough the train journey started again, this time a different flavor… General Coach, Wooden Benches, not too crowded though 🙂
A Passenger in the Intercity Express from Bhopal to Ujjaindid take us close to about 4 hours, but enjoyed every minute of it… talked to people, took pictures, got a small lesson on gun management from a Railway Policeman too 🙂
Catching Hope 🙂
Sunset from the Train…We reached Ujjain around 2100 hrs and checked into a hotel near the station only… Learnt that the Bhasm Aarti starts at 0500 hrs in the morning and we should be in the temple by 0400 hrs to get a decent view !!!
Arobindo in the train…
The General Compartment we were in…Now this meant a quick dinner and sleeping without much talking !!! And that happened too !!!
More to follow…
B/W Newspaper Colorful News 🙂Some Data now..
Bhopal – Bhojpur : 25 kms
Auto fare : about 250-350 bucks depending on how you bargain…
What to do in Bhojpur : Nothing 🙂 just sit back and relax
Train for Ujjain from Bhopal : Intercity Express @ 1700 hrs everyday
Fare : 50 rs. for the General Class, You can take that ticket and enter the reserved compartment too where the ticket can be upgraded for about Rs. 17 for that coach… the difference is better seats only !!! -
So much for so little 🙂
Love for me was never a single word… or a single feeling, rather I personally felt that there is nothing that can define love easily…It is more of a convinient way of saying many things in one word…
Feelings that talk about
Assurance
Presence
Comfort
Satisfaction
Smiles
Anger
Discomfort
Relaxation
Togetherness
Indivuality
Respectand many many more that I have not written here…
so next time you hear someone telling you that (s)he loves you, don’t just hear one word, hear a lot of them together…
And every time you tell someone that you love him/her, don’t just say one word, say many 🙂
