Another Fine day...

As always I visited Mahakaleshwar temple last night with my parents. Today in the morning I visited Chintaman Ganesh temple. Whenever I am in town I always visit these 2 places. These places provides me the energy to sustain in this competitive and cut-throat world.

In the afternoon visited Indore for the another phase of my work.

In the evening visited my friend cum sister Shruti, whom I met after 3-4 months.

After coming from there I watched Indo-Pak Hocky world Cup match... It was awesome.. Any competition between India and Pakistan creates so much buzz and thrill that you can not escape it. I believe even non-hockey believers would have also enjoyed it.

The thrashing by 4-1 made it special.. I liked it...

Trip To Indore...

After reaching home from the eventful train trip I have gone to Indore for some work. I was driving new A-Star on newly built highway between Ujjain and Indore. Although it is not built completely but still the stretches those are built provide me enough space to reach upto the 100 kmph mark :-)

The construction is in progress and hope to get it end in few months, after that Ujjain-Indore drive will become like moving from one suburb to the other.

Spent whole day in Indore and came back to Ujjain in the evening.

I went for some work in Indore and that was not completed fully so have to travel tomorrow as well...

My Social Network...

Yeah my social network is big enough :-) I had waiting ticket to go to Ujjain but once again because of this I got berth not only to sit but to sleep as well. 

I was traveling with my juniors who passed out from college 3 years later than me but still I was able to struck the cord very well with them. We were in all 7 people and we had 3 confirmed berths. We all managed on those 3 berths :-D

Had lots of chats with them regarding the college, Teachers, TCS. They have recently joined TCS and it was their first trip to hometown in the most lively train known as Avantika. I was giving them enough guidance how to enjoy the travel from Mumbai to Ujjain/Indore. 

It was great fun to be with and it added more feathers in my social network...

The Final Note...

15 Final note

Learning of SNMPV3 without professional help may cause headache, diarrhea, intestinal cramps, loss of

vision or all of the above.

This is the thought we all are having while developing the new feature. Yes I agree SNMP v3 is one of the most difficult although the name say Simple Network Management Protocol but it is not at all simple ;-)

Will try to get this done without getting any of the above problems :-)

The GOD of Cricket...

Aaj Diwali hai, sakshat bhagwaan ne apni maya ka pradarshan kiya hai, mithaiyo baato, patakhe jalao aur bolo, Bhagwaan Sachin ki Jai ho, Jai ho, Jai ho :-)

He is the GOD of Cricket...

I am busy...

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Five of Swords Reversed

Feeling that you are standing alone in the fight. Others no longer support the same cause. Us vs. them mentality. Gain of friendship and camaraderie. Time to concentrate on yourself and your own goals. Selfishness. Others' concerns no longer your cause. A power p...lay is at work. Boastful. You are trying to raise yourself up in others' eyes only to look a fool. Stop asking for others' approval

Most Relaxing Trip...

Completed my trip to Namma Bengalooru. It was a small trip to this beautiful city.

Last night after stepping down on my BIAL (Bengalooru International Airport Ltd.) My first reaction was.. "Yes this is my second home." And I fell in love with the city once again. I don't know what this omen means... There was no plan for me to visit here and just few days ago I had written the post about my love for this city.

I have met with Ashi, Pavan and spent quality time with them. Slept at around 3 AM but I have commitments to fulfill and have to meet lot of people in town. Woke up at 7 and had full day of greetings and meetings with my friends including college friends (Vinita, Vivek) Office friends (Jane-Cherry, Ambili-Kaushal) and relative (Rahul). 

Thanks to all for making my this trip wonderful and beautiful... It has been one of most relaxing trip for me... The sudden plan and the pleasure to meet Ashi and Pavan after 2 years made it awesome..

PS: This was my visit to Bengalooru after exactly 13 months and 13 days.

Unexpected Journey....

Yeah It's an early morning for me on weekends, Last night slept early (1:00 AM :-P ). Got up around 9 AM. Prepared breakfast. "NE Connectivity Loss" Clear alarm is received i.e. my net is up and running again, there was some problem in the modem put up on our building.

Planning to visit some place in Mumbai probably "Hanging gardens".

Talking to the other idiot S2, He is confused about his travel plans and we are discussing about it, I am searching the options for C2 and S2 both.

Time is 1:30 PM and here comes the finalized travel plan for S2 and me, I am traveling to Bangalore :-) within 3 hours, making the flight bookings. Never ever had this sudden plan of visiting any place... I am loving it...

This one is for you "Ashi" (S2).

Boarded the flight at 1810 and reached at 2000 hrs.

The reference to all the idiots is here (and previous post) because they are the driving force of my life, I am here to give them the pleasure at any point of time at any cost. I may ask questions about the tasks but I can go beyond the limits to make it happen...

PS: posting this blog on 22nd Feb,2010 as an entry for 20th Feb, 2010.

NE Connectivity Loss...

Today my network connection is not working, seems to be some server problem. What the hell, spoiling my Friday night... Not much to do... On phones with my Idiots (refer to3 + 3 Idiots... ), S1 is having some problem with her browser she wants to give some compulsory tests but the particular test page is not opening. Did all the possible configurations still its not working. C2 is also having problems with net and want to search for the options for her itinerary to the hometown, unable to help.

In the morning had discussion with C3 regarding an outing on the weekend but the plan did not succeed because of some reasons. I take it as omen that we will not be going to another outing without C1 :-) Although C1 is unreachable at this point of time, hope to hear from him soon.

PS: NE Connectivity Loss is the name of alarm we raise when our equipment goes out of network.

Bangalore vs. Mumbai

The title may not suggest the appropriate contents of this blog-post, but yes this is the main thing that comes in my mind whenever I wander through my inner thoughts about my past.

It has been discussed many times with my friends, family and peers and it is true that I am in love with Bangalore. I do not say that Mumbai is not good but for some reasons, personally I feel like not being able to grasp the Mumbai spirit.

When I was in Bangalore I used to get lot of time to spend on myself and my extracurricular activities but after coming here I became so lazy that I don't want to do anything. After coming from office I am so exhausted that I just see the relaxation point. May be Mumbai’s humidity and surroundings are the reason for it. I do not go for walks during daytime after lunch neither I go for early morning nor evening walks. In Bangalore although it was not a hard and fast rule, but I used to go for the walks at-least 3-4 days in a week. Also our group used to go for post-lunch walks in office. Probably this is one of the reasons for putting on lot of weight.

I shifted to Powai in Mumbai so that at-least I will get some catalyst to go for the walks but to no avail. I am still that much lethargic, even I feel more because my office commuting distance is increased.

I hope to get solution for this soon and come back on track ... :-)

My Office Diary...

Today it was very relaxing day at my office, My system was not working properly, So I was unable to perform my daily assigned tasks...Yippie... But it has also been sad thing for me because I got some urgent work to be completed and far that I have lost one day....

Hope that my system gets up and running soon, So that I can move on with my work and maintain my highly appreciated quality of delivering the solutions on time with high preciseness....

I Want To Go Back...

A forwarded mail making my blog-post :

I Want To Go Back To The Time

When INNOCENCE Was NATURAL,

Not FAKE.

When GETTING HIGH Meant On A SWING,

Not PROMOTIONS.

When DRINKING Meant RASNA ORANGE,

Not BEERS Or WHISKEYS.

When DAD Was The Only HERO,

Not DEPP Or TOM.

  

When DAD’S SHOULDER Was The HIGHEST PLACE On The Earth,

Not Your DESIGNATION.

When Your WORST ENEMIES Were Your SIBLINGS,

Not Your MANAGER.

When The Only Thing That Could HURT Were BLEEDING KNEES,

Not The TEARS Falling Down Your Cheeks.

When The Only Things BROKEN Were TOYS,

Not The DYING HEARTS.

And When GOOD-BYES Meant TILL TOMORROW,

Not For YEARS & YEARS.

Life Has Changed A Lot. And The People Too.

But The Thing Is That We Don’t Want To Accept It!

After Effect of Valentine's day

"Jo hame chahiye, use hum nahi chahiye, jise hum chahiye wo kise chahiye..."

It definitely seems to be after effect of Valentine's day... Just the day after it i.e. on 15th Feb I have to use this dialogue 5 times to different persons... Can you believe it... The same situation every-time :-)

Valentine's Day...

Happy Valentine's Day to all..

Timepass...

Full timepass... Chatted with lot of friends... Read Novel "Shantaram"... watched TV... Made halwa in the evening... In all a great day...

Enjoy time...

Today, It was pretty relaxing day... Not much work to do in office... No peer pressure... Had lot of fun today...
Also played cricket in parking lot :-D... One tip out... I am reliving those old days... Also uploaded pics on orkut and FB for my trip to Shikharji and Puri...

Happy Appy...

Today's post is for one of my good friend, Apeksha. She has been selected by LnT Infotech through campus placements. But due to recession the joining date hasnt come. She has worked hard in this duration of 1.5 years. Completed her certifications. I believe this has provided her the time to boost her profile although she had become low in the confidence. But her hardwork has paid off and she got joining on 5th March.

In life we see lots of ups and downs, sometimes we get things so easily that we don't care about it and we don't know how much it can be important for others. If she would have got the joining earlier she would not have been that happy and excited as she was today, calling upto everyone and giving the news.

I am damn happy for you. Enjoy... God bless you...

I am Happy Appy...

कैसी है ये उदासी छाई...

कैसी है ये उदासी छाई, मेरे दिल
कैसी गहरी है ये तन्हाई, मेरे दिल
राहों में यादों की खामोशी बरसे
आँखों में जो गुम है, आँसू को तरसे
ये बता ये क्यूँ हुआ
बुझ गया, क्यूँ हर दीया
कैसी है ये उदासी छाई, मेरे दिल

हू जो भी मिला, वो खो गया
तुझको पता है ऐसा ही सदा होता है
जाना ही था वो जो गया, दिल तू अकेला ऐसे क्यूँ भला रोता है
भूले जो हैं अब तुझको अब उनको भूल जा तू भी
वरना मेरे साथ यादों के ज़ख़्म खा तू भी
मान जा, ए दिल मेरे
भूल जा, शिकवे गीले
कैसी है ये उदासी छाई


हू तू ही बता ए दिल मेरे
मैने तो हमेशा तेरा ही कहा माना है
क्यूँ है मुझे ये गम घेरे
मुझे उमर क्या बस यही सज़ा पाना है
सपने बोए मैने और दर्द मैने है काटे
गाए गीत मैने और पाए मैने सन्नाटे
आरज़ू नाकाम है
सूनी सी हर शाम है
कैसी है ये उदासी छाई, मेरे दिल
कैसी गहरी है ये तन्हाई, मेरे दिल

Nothing to say....

No thoughts coming into my mind as of now... It is clogged up because of some unwanted thoughts put up in my mind by some unwanted person and have to be in office till late hours :-(

मैंने शांति नहीं जानी है ...

मैंने शांति नहीं जानी है  !
त्रुटि कुछ है मेरे अन्दर भी ,
त्रुटि कुछ है मेरे बाहर भी ,
दोनों को त्रुटि हीन बनाने की मैंने मन में ठानी है  !
मैंने शांति नहीं मानी है !

 

आयु बिता दी यत्नों में लग ,
उसी जगह मैं , उसी जगह जग ,
कभी - कभी सोचा करता अब , क्या मैंने की नादानी है  !
मैंने शांति नहीं जानी है  !

पर निराश होऊं किस कारण ,
क्या पर्याप्त नहीं आशवासन ?
दुनिया से मानी , अपने से मैंने हार नहीं मानी  है  !
मैंने शांति नहीं जानी है

Best Gift for Life...

You might have seen this in yout orkut fortune, But when I saw this is Calvin & Hobbes Strip I became speechless, Yes this is THE BEST GIFT for Life... I am loving it... :-)

PS: I am big fan of Calving & Hobbes and I have registered for daily comic strip of them, Got this one in today's mail :-)

Everything is settled...

I have moved from Andheri to Hiranandani Gardens, Powai... For last one week I was not properly settled, Also I was having problem in adjusting to the new surroundings along with prolonged commuting to office. But this weekend means today I got everything settled. All the baggages have been unpacked and restored at their proper positions. All unwanted things moved inside.

Also we got cook for the weekdays dinner and both time meals on weekends :-)

I am loving it...

Aall Izzz Well...

Sometimes in life, we do not get satisfied with what we have or what we get. Probably I am going through that phase. The urge to get more and more is making me greedy. On the other hand, I am feeling stagnated and do not want to try achieve anything...

Don't know what kind of dilemma is this, Hope to get over soon with this...

Aall Izzz Welll, this will go away soon...

तेरे मेरे साथ जो होता है...

तेरे मेरे साथ जो होता है...
बात समझ में आती नहीं...
तेरे मेरे साथ जो होता है...
सबके साथ वो होता नहीं...
जब सारा जग ही सोता है...
फिर नींद हमें क्यूँ आती नहीं...
हे ओ एय एय, इंतेज़ार में तेरी हूँ होके ज़रूर आए...
हे ओ एय एय, इस बहाने अब मेरा चाँद लेके नूर आए...
कुछ लम्हों के लिए है यहाँ ज़रूर...
कोई भी रहा नहीं यहाँ पे बेकसूर...
जब दुनिया को देखूं लगे सतरंगीं...
सच्चा भी या झूठा भी या खुश गम भी...
दिल वालों ने, सही मानो दिल दिया होगा...
दिल वालों ने, कुछ ऐसा ही किया होगा...

ला ला ला ला ला ला...
ला ला ला ला ला, ला ला ला...
ला ला ला ला ला ला...
ला ला ला ला...
करता नहीं मैं तुझसे कोई दिल्लगी...
अच्‍छा हूँ या बुरा हूँ मैं हूँ यूँही सही...
प्यार तेरा जाना मैने दिल दे दिया...
तुझसे बिछड के मैं जाऊँगा कहाँ...
हे ओ एय एय, इंतेज़ार में तेरी हूँ होके ज़रूर आए...
हे ओ एय एय, इस बहाने अब मेरा चाँद लेके नूर आए...
हे ओ एय एय, हे ओ एय एय, हिया ओ आ...
हे ओ एय एय, हे ओ एय एय, हिया ओ आ...
हे ओ एय एय, हे ओ एय एय, हिया ओ आ...
हे ओ एय एय, हे ओ एय एय, हिया ओ आ...

Trip diary in short...

24th Jan, 2010:

Day1 is about to over, everything going as usual. Met with relatives in Saugor and Bhopal. We are having 4 seats in one compartment and 1 at other, The other 2 with the 4 are showing us rules dat in the daytime the middle seats shouldn't be opened as they are having lower births and they wanna sit on both. Why people are so rigid while traveling. Train is almost delayed by 2 hours, will be reaching Parasnath station around 4 or so.

25th Jan, 2010:

Reached Parasnath station at 5 AM, directly heading towards Madhuban, the base place for the shikharji Hillock. Got the accommodation. 10 AM and we are starting for the hillock, we decided to climb the hillock and perform half yatra and then stay in the Rest house (Dak Bangla) situated on the top of hillock. we reached the first Temple (Chopra Kund) at 2 PM i.e. 9 KMs covered in almost 4 hrs. Starting the half yatra from Gautam Gandhar Tonk towards Parasnath Tonk at 2:30 PM.  Reached Dak Bangla around 5 PM. No electricity, very rare Mobile network access, Mobile batteries getting discharged and the same with Digicam, its good that we are having 2 Digicams to have the backup :-).

Had dinner and slept around 6:30 PM, its so cold here with very less amenities. temperature is around 2-3 C. We all woke up after sometime thinking that its morning now but the watch showed us time as only 11:30PM :-)

26th Jan, 2010:

Slept again and woke up at 5 in the morning, got ready and started at 7 AM for the full yatra of 10 Kms and going down (another 9 KMs) on the same day. completed full yatra around 2 PM. started to descend down and reached 6:30 PM. It became very dark at around 5:30 PM and people who have been shikharji will be knowing what it means to walk in dark in that area. Fortunately the moon was more than half in its size and the night was very much brightened to show us the path, there were places with big trees where moon-light was unreachable there we had to use the Torch.

So in all we covered around 35-36 Kms in 1 and half day and that too barefooted. But it was divine power that made us to do so.

27th Jan, 2010:

We visited all the temples in the Madhuban in the morning, We are having train for Puri in night around 11 PM. But the train is delayed because of fog and will be starting 7 hrs delayed from New Delhi, It means we will get it in the early morning on 28th. We have only 2 days 28th and 29th for Puri. We reached Parasnath in the evening around 6 PM because no traveling is allowed in this region after 5 PM due to the terror of robbers. After reaching the Parasnath we came to know that the train might be delayed more, we got other option of Purushottam express which is running 15 hrs late and suppose to arrive Parasnath in night around 12. We decided to board the train without reservation and adjust it in the train itself.

28th Jan, 2010:

This train started getting more delayed and reached at morning 6:40 AM, Our initial train was delayed indefinitely and supposed to come late in the evening. So we boarded purushottam Express and talked with TC and fortunately got births in 3 AC. The whole day was spent in traveling and we reached Puri in the night around 10 PM. so one day of our Puri stay got lost. Got settled in bhaiya's IOC Guest house. With the help of one of my colleague we booked cab for next whole day for Bhubaneshwar, Konark and Puri visit.

29th Jan, 2010:

We started at around 8 AM for the whole day trip. Went to Dhauli Spiti (Peace Pagoda), the place where King Asoka got the idea of leaving the battle and follow Buddhism. After that we went to Lingraj Temple, famous temple for HariHar Milan. Its very old temple and very serene too. Then we visited Udaygiri and Khandagiri, This place is having Jain influence too, visited all the caves. The caves are having sculptures of Kalinga Yuddh and also the place for meditation used by Jain Monks in earlier days. After this we visited Sun temple of Konark. Then we headed back to Puri, reached around 5 PM and then went to sea Beach for the sunset. Being the Eastern part of India the view of Sunset was not that great, but what we saw that one side the Sun was setting down and the other side Moon was coming to its full Glory, later on we came to know that it was one of those days when the satellite was the nearest to Earth. Came back around 7 PM from there and headed for Jagannath Puri, This time there was not much crowd and we had Darshan only in 15 minutes.

Came back to Guest house and saw all the pics in TV.

30th Jan, 2010:

Started at around 6 AM for the BBSR airport, Bhaiya-Bhabhi had flight at 9:50 AM and we had flight for Mumbai at 12:50 PM. Reached Mumbai at 3 PM.

And this was the end of my spiritual trip, People who are following me will be knowing how much it meant to me...

PS: all these were in my mobile but bcoz of rare access and tiredness I wasn't able to update

Inertia...

Going through Inertia... Will come back soon...
