Just another day....

Right from the moment, I got off from my bed, sensed a feeling that today would not be those happy fun days. Just those gloomy days, where you crib for the mundane mechanical life you lead overseas away from your dear ones. Weekdays, have really been so mechanical, just like those Metro Trains, which travel to and forth in the specified preset time. Wakeup-Breakfast-Office-Home-Cook-Read/Surf-Sleep, with nature calls punctuating them. One phrase sums up every damn weekday here.

Well I do not have a choice, but surely I can make things better for myself. Everytime, I feel disgusted in life, I speak to my parents back home or think of those lovely moments shared with my dear friends. You people are so far but yet so near. Now if I keep calling India on a regular basis, I would have to get a new “Communication Expenses” component reimbursed by my company. For which, they would surely say “No”.

Apart from these, I try to get connected to my roots over OFC wires (bad joke). Yeah, it is none other than Mangalore. Unknowingly, I get rejuvenated, by just reading about it. This summer, after my brother’s marriage, on mommy dear’s behest, we decided to visit most of the temples in Mangalore (Dakshina Kannada). Mom always says that temples there do have that soothing effect, which makes any individual serene and calm. Well, me being the last pampered one in the family, it was just that I needed some forum to pain my bhabhi(atthige). Real fun it is to virtually rag a just-married lady, who had come to a new place and trying to get adjusted to the environment and above that finds a naughty in-law in me. But, the fun did not last long as mom threatened that my brother would do the same to my bride. Well, I had to stop it then, as I would not want my wifey dear to answer those irritating questions.

We visited some dozen temples in span of 2 days and I was just thrillingly amazed by the history behind each of those. Wonderful experience to cherish, away from this world of documents,timesheets, conference calls, presentations blah blah. Thankfully, I had my mama, who resides in Moodabidri, to detail every aspect of those sacred places. Don’t exactly remember each one of them, but for the divine idols image etched onto my minds. Unfortunatley, do not have those photos with me now. Who cares when I have Google to get the details!!! Collating all those details in my space, so that I do not spend time googling for those time and again.

1. Kollur Mookambika Temple
Kollur is one of the seven pilgrimages which were created by Parashurama. It is situated at the banks of the never drying river Sauparnika.

The main statue in the temple is the Shiva linga called the Jyothirlingam. This Jyotirlingam in front of the image of the Goddess Mookambika is of great antiquity. A golden line divides this lingam into two unequal parts and is visible only in the light of reflected sunlight pointed at the lingam. The right portion of this lingam is said to represent Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva - as the conscious static principles and the larger left part Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Parvathi - the creative energy principles. It is a belief that the three goddess Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Parvathi and the three lords Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara emerged out of it.

Since it was Friday, we had a mouth-watering sweetened poddoal (don’t ask me what it is, I know only to eat)

2. Kateel Durgaparameshwari Temple

Situated on the banks of River Nandini, amidst beautiful surroundings, is the spiritual energy center of South Kanara district. Goddess Durga is the loving and caring mother of the people of South Kanara.

Frequent this place, whenever I go to my hometown. Notable thing in this temple is, the idol is very small. You cannot view it completely, unless it has the shringaara of “Soumya Roopa”

More info, here

3. Sri Mangaladevi Temple

The place name Mangalapura (now Mangalore) owes its origin to the temple of Mangaladevi. Situated in Bolar about 3 kms from Hampankatta (the heart of the city), the temple has its roots into the ninth century. The ardent devotees even today believe that the worship of Mangaldevi brings them prosperity and happiness.

4. Kudroli Gokarnanatheswara Temple

This was my first visit to this place. The renovation work which took place recently has given a new trendy look, but not losing the typical mangalore temple charm. During the renovation work, including the Garbhagudi, the whole temple was rebuilt with a whooping cost of around Rs. 1 crore. This is what they call it as “BrahmaKalashabisheka”.

When the "Nagamandala" was performed during the "BrahmaKalasha", the locals had the greatest delight of watching the live Nagadevaera (King Cobra is worshipped as GOD) play over the mandala. Not all people are blessed or can afford to perform it. Aint it such a wonderful experience. Lucky are those people!! Locals believe that the Naga Pooja is successfull, only if the Snake-GOD comes and plays around the mandala.

Let me get the info on few more places I visited and my thoughts about them in general in my next post.

C'est la vie

Office Office!!!

Monday morning early in office, well this time no blues it was only green all around. Yikess!! Not that morning green. P3A, I know what you would be thinking. Naughty Minds laa!! laa, people here use that syllable just like how we use na in kannada. Some fine day, I will also start speaking in singlish, once in a while, it sounds good :-) \

Monday and no blues, thanks to my diligence, had sent the timesheet on friday evening itself. hehehehe. Late realisation after my manager sent a reminder mail last week. Oh guys, now dont burst out. I hate writing the Effort/Timesheet mail, it is just so disgusting. I work for the whole week and above that I need to publicise what I did. Well, for once I thought of putting 0.5 billable hours for Timesheet entry :-). Now one fine day, when I become a SPM, I will remove all the timesheet stuff, and ask my bhai-log, to provide the damn results on the specified day. What a great manager I would be *Applause in the background* (Company Quarterly results would slide like the numbers on Black Monday in Dalal Street)

Peacefully working on my workstation, my colleague approaches me for some usual project based information and signs off commenting"Woow Pakku, you had a Haircut!!! You look very kewll today". I respond back with a sarcastic grin. Huhh, kya log hain yaar, I was happily dreaming that this time atleast I would have long lockss, likes of John bidu, Hrithik and he says you look good after the haircut. huhh

Sporting long hairs, with indian tricolor draped to my forehead, with all the biking gear (without helmet) riding the new Phanthom (not mine, my roomies) cruising along at 80-90 kmph making the hairs to shy against the winds.. phaataassshhhhh!!! Everything spoilt just like Alis' dreams in Dhoom

Well, its not that I would heed to him. But we should never comment to the same gender log about their physical appearance (once in a while, getting compliments from opp s** is good, but from guys, yikesss). I feel so irritated. Especially at the workplace, when you are chalking out a new implementation pattern for your module and it just rips your concentraion across. This gets me contemplating on the things I hate most in and around my workplace:

- Desktop Wallpapers and ScreenSavers, which sport movie stars. I hate those. Previously in the start of my career, I had the craze for such kinds. But, office computer, sure NO. woh tho kaam ke liye hai bhailog, samjha karo.

- Lousy loud mobile ringtones, whose volume could even wake up kumbhakarna (the sleeping brother of rakshas Ravan). But, yeah I would not mind melodious songs like Nuvvu Nuvvu Nuvvae Nuvvu or Nuvvasthanante Nenoddantanaa or for that matter any peppy number from a Trisha movie. Strong NO to ringtones which yells babys cry or laughter or girls Hello tones.

- Loud Music: Hate any loud rap/jazz song from the speakers which would divert my concentraion. If people are so enthu to listen, for what the heck are those headsets for. samjha karo juntaa!!

- Hate looking at those girly things on their cubicle. Those teenie-weenie hair-clips, bindi-box, and scarf they wear while riding, inkie-pinkie cum keychain or what not attached to the mobiles hook. Wonder if the cell phone is there to make/recieve calls or to carry those stupid things which weigh more than what the cell phone does. Just dont understand why dont they stuff into their tinie-peenie hand-bag they carry!!!

- Papers-around-the-place cubicles: what should I say for these!!! Organisation gives you files, folders and all the required stationery to keep it in a more organized manner, but still. Pathetic!! Feels like taking my Coffee and purposefully spilling it over those important papers and saying "saare Files/folders ghar le gayaa kya". Well, I used to be like this, but a dear friend of mine who used to be my cubicle-mate (best till date), just taught what a difference it makes!! Hope you are reading this dudette.

- Meetings after lunch!! huhh such a boring thing to do in office.

- The tupp-tupp sound made by those gals who wear high heels. Wonder if they think they are walking the ramp!! huhh

I can just go on and on...but its getting a bit too much now, let me coook sumthing for myself. My tummy is yelling :-(

Just Imagine!!!

Right from the moment I came out of my workplace on friday, I had decided that saturday would be the day for KRISSH.. finally a beautiful evening spent within the Jade 1 movie hall of Shaw towers and aftermath savouring the HOT allooo parata.. alloo parata has its own unique taste aint it??

KRISHH.. the much awaited movie, is really doing well across the globe. But all praises to the Roshans for coming with such a daring experiment, worth a praise!!! Applause!! I had not watched Koi Mil Gaya..(the pretext of Krissh) more so bcoz I never felt Hrithik in a childish role.. a 6 footer really doesnt suit for that role(my thoughts). When I first saw the promos of Krissh, I was just in awe for Hrithik. He really rocked in the promos.

The film starts off in a real slow pace, with not much to look out for but the superhero himself and the fantabulous locational spot. Perfect Showcase of Indian natural beauty, worth a second watch. Just when our superhero clad in kurta pyjamas, is enacting the modern Moghli (or Tarzan) in manali, encounters his love, thanks to the paraglider mishap. Yeah, the lead actor in female role is none other than (sucking) priyanka chopra. Obviously, Hrithik falls in love with her. Really wonder how such a guy can drool for her :(.

Just when you start thinking of when the Uniquely Singapore would be shown, INTERVAL!!!First half is been completely wasted in lengthy songs, screams, humour (which never results in laughter) and obviously our leadlady. One phrase sums it up, SHE SUCKS!! Very bad acting, pooor makeup, worst wardrobe, pathetic dancing, no leg movements in dancing and above all, being the lady of Superhero, audience do expect some oomph yaar.. Wrong Choice Roshans!!!

Second half is where the SuperHero is in full flow. Fight Scenes and action-scenes performed by Roshan Jr. is truely awesum. You get the feel of Keanu Reeves in Matrix(to a certain extent). Yeah, the stunts are being produced from the same unit. Above all the odds, Hrithik lives upto the expectations. His dance sequences are verymuch in his class of own. Me and my friend were wondering if his limbs were made of rubber. Such a prolific dancer, impeccable!!

Perfect role for Hrithik, which is less in emotions (he is never comfortable doing that) and more towards action and muscle-power. The climax scenes are being completely copied from one of the english movie (dont remember the name). Sometimes the super imposed backgorund visuals looks very disturbing. Action flicks are repeated in few screens.But in all, a good performance when it comes to background technical skill.

Above all, movie is a true tribute to long hours, Hrithik has spent in gym. Elegance personified in this superhero flick. You Rock Hrithik!!! Must watch for all those Hrithik fans but otherwise, once watchable movie.

Bollywoodishtyle Programming : Password once created for a project can never be changed, albeit you reinvent the whole system. huuhhhh!!! (Give me a break Rakesh Roshan!!!)

Yippiee... We Rock!! Dont we

Let me keep the B & H aside, for this belter of a news.. ONGC plans to setup a SEZ (Special Economy Zone) in mangalore at the cost of a whooping $7.5 Billion...wowww! Appplause!!! (I seriously hope Mangalore does not lose its charm in this economic boom)

Excerpts from MSN :


Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was scheduled to lay the foundation stone for the Rs.49-billion (over $1 billion) petrochemicals complex Friday but his aircraft could not land at this coastal city of Karnataka because of inclement weather.

Officials at ONGC, however, said the work to construct the complex, to produce the building blocs for the petrochemicals industry - paraxylene and benzene - would continue, despite the prime minister being unable to flag it off.

"The message we have from the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is that he is fully committed to the project. He would like to come again, and it is for the PMO to fix the dates," said ONGC's interim chairman and managing director R.S. Sharma.

Nevertheless, the weather acted as a big dampener for the people of this city, which has been wearing a festive look with hoardings, posters and festoons all over the place in anticipation of the big event.

"The Mangalore SEZ in 350 acres will have integrated operations in midstream and downstream operations in refining, petrochemicals, energy and liquefied petroleum gas and would be a precursor to a chain of investment," Sharma said.

"It is expected to remove the freight handicap faced by consumers in south India and would facilitate the advancement of the country's petrochemicals industry," said the interim chief of India's largest company, ranked 158th on the Fortune 500 list with a market capitalisation of $41.9 billion on March 31.

He said the proposed investment in the SEZ included Rs.80 million ($1.7 billion) for enhancing the refining capacity of its subsidiary - Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemical Ltd - to 15 million metric tonnes per annul from 9.7 million.

A holding company will be formed to execute the project in which ONGC would hold 46-percent equity, Mangalore Refinery around three percent and the balance will be with financial institutions and banks.

"ONGC will look for incentives from the Karnataka government that is similar to what Reliance Industries secured from Gujarat. As of now, being an SEZ no local, state or central tax is applicable in the complex," Sharma said.

The integrated aromatics facility at the SEZ is expected to produce around one million metric tones of paraxylene and 0.15 million metric tonnes of benzene each year

The feedstock will be the naphtha generated at the refinery, which will produce two million metric tonnes of naphtha once the petrochemicals project commences. Other products include cooking gas, gasoline pool feed and tail gas.

An olefins complex is also being planned at a later date, Sharma said. "The new energy hub here will earn the distinction of having the largest public sector refinery investment at a single location in India."

Its not C&H, but B&H

Surfing over the Internet, found that Express Group has come up with a new series – Bangalore (B) or Hyderabad (H)? This feature allows people to comment on these cities. Interesting it is!! And, when you say B or H, pretty obvious that IT would come into picture. And so it is.

From the initial days of my engineering, I have read a lot of such articles in many of the Indian/International magazines. Those were the times when N. ChandraBabu Naidu was at the peak in AP. And we were governed by kudkaa (drunkard) JH Patel, who was as pathetic an administrator. Friends in our college always envied Hyderabadis which beamed H as the next San Jose of India. Later on after studies, *joined* the bandwagon of IT pros. It’s almost 3+(7+ years from 99) years now, but still H is not even in touching distance to B, let alone overtaking it. Even though, B has seen pathetic administrators likes of JH Patel(or Dharam paaji), unstable government, no support from central government, very few bureaucratic decisions are taken by Bangaloreans in the Union Cabinet. Still, B is unrivalled as the THE SILICON CITY of the sub-continent.

Seriously pity those, who say H will overtake B in just a few years. Although, H has seen the elite administrators in NC and YSR, they are still way behind. I respect those 2 a lot esp. the way NC changed the look of H. But, one should remember that the brand of Bangalore has been built from the past 20-25 years. It is just that it got its due notice during late 90’s. True, H is growing, but please don’t compare it with B. The NASSCOMM IT exports for the year 2005-06, gave B the top position with a whooping 37,500 Cr INR, where as H was around 12,000 Cr INR(4th place, not even second). Any comparison guys?

Our dearest AP CM YSR says he has shown a growth (IT) of 52% in the last year compared to the last. Obviously if earlier revenues are less, the growth percentage usually will increase by default (considering the economic boom). Its like, my ex-company Country Operations Manager saying that we have achieved incredible growth rate of 100% way above from the likes of Infosys, Wipro or TCS. Actually, the company was around 100+ resources and in a year its 200+. Our mahatma from US tries to relate it. Funnyy!!!

Coming back, stylish batsman from H, VVS Laxman, tries to cover-up the climatic condition, by writing, it’s a *bit* hot during summer. May be he was comparing it with the African Summer lol. I seriously hope, the Shaan of Bangalore Rahul or Anil, writes about the unseen glory of B. Laxmans’ statement was similar to SM Krishna uttering he will change B to Singapore in 5 years. Pity him!!!

Well, I am not conveying that H is nowhere in the IT map. It is and it has to. But, all these comparisons with B is stale and not upto it. Bangalore is a set BRAND, while Hyderabad is trying to be one. If Bill Gates or Bush, plans to visit H instead of B, doesn’t mean it has taken off the sheen of B and mad eH the HOT sellling pancake. Its just due to political compulsions and to a certain extent for all the good work which is being carried over there by the government there. I truly admire that. But, that does not mean B is sitting quiet on its past glory. Altough, it may not be the erstwhile Garden City but it is still Bangalore - Namma Bengalooru.

People in Bangalore would love to see cities like Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai or Pune, keep up the pace with the emerging economy boom. After all, we would love to visualize the technology Quadrangle of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Chennai with mushroom-like industries creeping up in smaller cities like Mysore, Mangalore, Pune, Tirupati, Madurai etc.,

India in 2020, they say :-)

Tip Tip Barsaa paani..

While conversing on the lunch-table, one of my desi-colleague asked the resident Singapore desi, if the current season was winterish, as it was raining all along. For which, our manager concluded that, there arent any defined quadrants of weather in Singapore and you can say its Singi climate kinds, bit of sun, rain, humid, cold :-). That was a very interesting answer though. Let me check out in the due course of time.

One thing, which I have noticed after landing here is, for the past 1 month its invariably raining/drizzling during noon. And, we had to use our umbrellas to get to the Indian Veg Food Court around 12 mins from our office by walk. Wondered why it always rained afternoonzz altough used to be sunny all the day along. But, for the past 2-3 days, its been raining cats and dogs in the early hours of the day. It is a pathetic sight of huge rain-drops singing "Good-Morning" in their own way, when you open the door at 7 to goto office. It really is. Luckily, the smallest walk I do to catch the bus is always covered, so not much harm done to my attire.

While the SMRT Volvo Bus cruises along the Expressway hitting 70-80 kmph, I rejoice sitting besides the window and getting my own thought-process. Sometimes doze off :-). Even though, rain-GODs show their utmost fury, the normal life cruises along smoothly. Yeah, there may be a few hiccups for cyclers. But most of them, are not affected. Such is the quality of sanitary/rain-water arrangement here. No wonder, they call it Singapura :-). For instance, it was the same even in California or Amsterdam or haan Brussels too. But in Amsterdam, there were so many canals, authorities neednt have a separate facility.

Just think of the state of Bangalore roads in that case. When I used to work in Bangalore for the Top 3 Indian IT giant for their office in Madivala, the office campus was logged completely with water, to an extent of some of the workstations satisfying their thirst. They had BS500 certification coupled with all those CMMs. Wonder if these certifications cover the natural hazards/Recovery? Even the roads were so clogged with rain-waters, any thoughts of cruising on your vehicle was damn scary. An entry in the DONT DO list. 2-3 days of persistant rains would even bring down the normal functioning of the city. Thats, Bangalore-the Silicon City of Asia they say :-)

But here in Singapore, I wouldnt get the fun of driving over 60kmph . I would not feel the rain-waters right on my cheeks. The eternal bliss of sensing the unique flavour of the mud on first rains (SG is a typical cement land). Pestering mom to prepare hot hot pakodas on a rainy evening. Feeling of eating pakodas or mangalore bajji hot from the pan with coonut chutney.. muuuahhahaha. All the bashings from my parents for driving through in such a downpour. I truly, heartily miss those.

To increase my nostalgic barometer, its been a heavy downpour in Bangalore. Hope my *namma bengalooru* is able to sustain it.. and you screwed up, pampered P2A, I can only say enjoii maadii KingSize :-) as I drool over the state of Hosur Roads, Mysore roads, and the famous Airport Road.

Mangalore rocks ..

Being a 6' footer really helps guys, especially in the huge shopping malls of Singapore. More about this later, as I have to rush to office at the earliest. Hope there aint any Monday Morning blues.

And for those people, who always cribbed, for me talking about Mangalore ....here is more, Why I call myself a proud mangie, even though I have not stayed there for more than 2 months. Jhorr kaa Jhatkaa dheerae se lage :-)

http://www.time.com/time/asia/photoessays/2006/remaking_india/mangalore.html

1 gone .. few more to go

After exiting from my office campus, I need to walk around 10 mins to get to the bus stop. Enroute I need to walk along the Bus Interchange and a few shopping malls. And yeah, no need to say the pathetic smelling food courts. Well, food courts are those places in SG, where you see all kinds of global food. And in some corner, you will always find the Rotis or dosas for sure. These food courts are so much in Singapore, you can compare it with the darshinis in bangalore. And believe me, some of them operate 24*7. One good thing of these places are......... actually nothing but for the price of the food :-)

One more weekend, quite an eventful though. Yesterday, got to walk along the porsche lanes of Singapore. Yeah, almost for 5-6 hours. Actually, it was a nice experience, away from cruising in car or a metro train. Feeling the pulse of fast moving people here is a niche in itself. They never wait for others, they are in their own world. But, when you ask them for some help, they do it with whole-heartedly. Nice people they are. Interesting experience away from those routine physical life,trying to measure the length of those huge skyscrapers .. buoy o bouy.. you really should experience it. Actually, thought of taking the Hot-Balloon ride to find the length of those, heheheeheh. This is a kind of ride, which takes 10-15 people on a Hot balloon to around 1 km above the ground level and you can view the whole Singi country. Aint it interesting!!! hopefully next time, when I have my cam.

Walking along the lanes, my eyes got to see some Aishwaryas, Bacchans. Yeah, it was a hindi-movie screening theatres. Just barged inside right away. And it was sheer fun therafter. Phir Hera Pheri guyss.. :-) Tiring day it was, but seriously worth it.

Hencforth, decided sunday would be complete rest. And yeah, I did try my luck in cooking. Thought of eating those phhattttt phhaatttt pooris.. no baba not trisha. I am talking about the dish. It was a nice experience and also the pooris were round in shape, but only negative was, I had not added maida :-( it was a bit hardish.. ok okie, it was my first experience with poori guys :-)

Finished off the day with the typical prawn curry. Now, sitting cosy and watching Aahiq banaya apne.. actually he movie is not that bad.. tanu is HOOTTTTT...This space is turning out to be a weekend activities space, hope to make it better now on. Its almost been a month now, hope it goes on just as good .. Amen!!!!

Forgot to mention one thing.. the other real enticing stuff was the lovely eyes of Ujjaini in Sa Re GA Ma Pa on Zee TV.. Although she has a good voice, but her eyes really rock mann, better than her voice... too good to miss out.. P2A take note of it.. :-) worth a watch

Have a nice week ahead guys...
prakash

Friends meet at NY

Two individuals, let me name them as Raj and Sanjana are living their own life irrespective of the other. Destiny brings them together to share some of their young-age years along each other. They start mingling with each other. Then the association builds up within the close proximity of friendship.

Along the way, they fight for some stupid reasons, unite again from where they left, party along with friends, sharing personal interests with each other. Either of them, start feeling that the other person is always the one to look upto. They start talking of how their future should shape up with their spouse, dreaming of those "syrupy-chocolatey" moments signing off with a look of "Hopefully So". Albeit their busy personal career life, they pause along the way, just to touch and feel those lovely moments they shared. Along the process, in quest of their individual goals, they start moving out from each other. Although, those eternal moments are carved deep in their memory.

After a few years, their life crosses each other. But, this time, they are not two, but four. They again start reminscing those lovely times together. Whatever dreams they had spoken off about their better-half, is now a "reality". But, they are not ready to accept it. The aspirations, thoughts, dreams of being in marriage is not completely fulfilled. They start to cribb with each other. Slowly, it turns to "You are Better" kind of an attitude without crossing the limits. The dissatisfaction looms large and lingers when they are with their respective spouse.

Will they able to solve the mystery ? Will they compromise with their aspirations ? Would they break their marriage ? It can go anyway. Isnt spending few lovely moments in your friendship completely different from sharing yourself with the other person. Well, to answer these, please wait for "Kabhi Alvida naa kehna" to be released in few days :-)

Johar has picked a very sensitive subject this time around. Hopefully, he does due jusice to the story and does not provide viewers a K3G ishtyle finish. Anyways its Bollywood, you can expect the same masala in a colorful box. Akhir BOX Office paisa bhi toh kuucch cheeez hothi hai.

PS : Writer's imaginary story on viewing the promos of Kabhi Alvida naa Kehna..

Weekend

After a long tiring working week, you feel elated to walk to the MRT/Interchange to catch the bus to your home. Thats what I did too. Yeah, as I used to crib about my GHAR, when I was in nederlands, its not the case in Singapore. I can say it as my HOME. On the friday evening, banged my room with all the enthu in this world. The enthu had quadrupled as I had my first pay-check :-).

But the Rain-GODs were so harsh on me. They poured so much onto the SG streets that I couldnt even get out of my living room. And ended up watching all the damn movies being aired on SUN TV. And yeah, painfully watched those SOAP serials on the STARs, SONY and whicever channel. Yeah, thats the only way I feel I am in bangalore, when I watch these channels. Although, the crispychat eatables are missing on the table though :(

Glued to the net, was trying to finish of the weekend by atleast chatting to closein friends. After a long hiatus, had a long chat with Teddy. And Teddy, nice matrimonial strategy ;). That too done and suspecting a glooomy end to the weekend, started surfing all the damn channels. Thats when I heard the new message alert from the Msngr.

Yoo.. one of my those chat window, you wished to see always open on your Desktop.. Thats when you really feel the thirst for staying back on your sofa and keep typing all the words in this world and still feel you havent spoken much. You dont even care for Trisha dancing the peppy numbers or Aish kajrafying at IIFA. You get to hear words like "kya baat hai yaar!!!" from your roomie, when he comes across a loud spurt of laughter from nowhere.

Incredible moments of fun, laughter, shopping, wonderful times of teasing, fights, teasing each other, sadness, distress which seems trivial compared to my career efforts (Whatever so far). But those moments, when collated really means much more than whatever has happened so far to me. Yoo.. we may have had our ultimate share of misunderstandings and sometimes going to the extremes of separation, but it has been duly covered up in the only quest to have that eternal friendship going on in the future without compromise.

Juntaa may see it in any way, but I feel very ecstatic and proud to be associated with a relationship which made me feel relaxed, even in times of distress and agony. Association which is incomparable. Sincere Innoscent Trust. Hope its the same on the other end. Amen !!

Just when you think that everything is going great and you are in your own world of joy and happiness, you hear a mobile beeping loud and clear. You try to avoid it by increasing your typing speed, but then you have to give up. It was my mobiles alarm....WAKE UP!!!! ITs 6. Again back to this world of presentations, Meetings, Design, Code.....

Life continues with most of the hours running behind those for which you yearn and in the process its always punctuated with these cute lovely moments which are Forever and Ever. An Eternal Bliss.
