Sat down opened my book and started...half an hr into it..and got bored. the book that I had got had full on hi fundu language...took time for me to understand :-P
Then came my friend..hehe when we ever we meet up we start talkin about work..u see we both from IT industry....that too HR...so lots of things to share ...then finally we said its time to get back to study....marked some answers...and again started studying.
Had to start from scratch....so started understanding each sentence and then goin through the study material.

Holi Celebration :-D

Okk those you were following my blog must be knowing how thrilled I was regarding holi..:-)
It started with a nite out at PA's -place the nite earlier...all of us got together ate loads of food...trust me there was huge variety...talked and talked , watched TV till almost till 5 -5:30...then we thought its better we sleep now as next day we had to get up early to play holi..
So here we were 7 in the mornin...all sleeping to glory...and I heard a sound -No prizes for guessing who it was...SA herself...when it comes to high exhilaration level this gurl wins it hands down. :-P
As soon as she entered, she started waking up all of us ...No sooner we got up...SK and AJ joined us,as usual we started the day with food...PA had made some amazing idli's we had it...changed and here we were standin below with colors...We were only 7 of us....myself,PA,PS,RS,SA,AJ and SK...yes I know nos of people were little less...lekin kya kare yaar some people as usual came of up reasons not to come....Though less people we had fun..
The thing that I njoyed playin holi at PA's place.. mind you other than food is...the nos of kids who play holi der... they truely make holi fun der....It always becomes a battle field ..where they form a team and we are their enemies hehehe i know we are grown up people...but wat the hec i dont care,think wat u wanna.. we will play like this.........boom boom ,they started throwing balloons....man oh man weren't they thrown at some force...suddenly we found ourself with less power
Sk had supposedly got 2 kgs of colour.... and dont know it jus got over within the 1st hr of our play...then again we went got some more colors...and der we were standing with silver and golden colour......turn by turn we lifted everyone brought others near the big tank and poured loads of water and then it was time to put that colour..still remember PS, her face jus looked so silver...

Then till 12:20 I guess we were jus havin a war with the kids at her building..catchin hold of them and colouring them… we caught each of them….and colored them nicely. Hahah was nice time…

12:30 we finally though we will take some pics and then push of for lunch…yes I know it was too early to have lunch…but yaar we had burned so much calories running around that we felt kinda hungry… :-D

Took loads of pics and rushed to have food…as usual variety was served to us..thanks to PA’s mum…she is an awesome cook in the menu was dhai batata puri,sev puri,pav baji, shev bundi…….gobbled down food. And then we were back home to clean up…..our self :-P……Later after we had our shower we were back at her place….. Having a nice time…

Dinner again and we were back home….had a very tiring day…..thoroughly njoyed it…

The next mornin and here iam writing this....

Count down for Holi-Dhuleti

Holi one of the many Indian festivals I like. I don’t know but when ever it comes to holi I get really energized :-D the color and water ....
Rite from the time I was small I enjoyed Holi to its best...at 1st when I lived in my old building...we use to play with all the people in the building...this one time our old building was goin through some construction and there was a big tank of water which was build for the construction purpose...cant believe how splendid it was to play holi with that much amount of water...Everyone be it a child or a grown up was dipped in side the tank and then color was applied on him or her...hehe
When I was in my schoolin days still memorize I and my friends use to stay awake till late nite and tie water balloons and keep it in a bucket...the next morning we use to get up at some where around 5:30-6 am and throw that balloons at the paperwala ,milkman hehehe...once I have also colored our building ka dog...jimmy....poor thing is no more though.. :-(

Then later as time passed and when I joined BMS..it was time to play Holi with all my college buddies....14 of us to be specific....from 03 till last year its either been at SA or PA's place....the best part of holi here use to be the finger lickin food that we use to have after that playin..The chole puri,samosas,jalebis,gulab jamun's yum yum..already my mouth watering now...Just hoping something gud will be there in the menu like it is always... shameless me :-P
The normal list of people included SA,PA,PS,SS,RS,SK,RS and me....baki people from the group use to be there but not regularly..

Last year I got a t shirt from RS..was a nice one han...a tshirt on which when water is poured it gives out colors.. I really liked that concept...
In here SS would bring some weird colors and we would catch hold of everyone pour water and then apply color on them....yes yes it happend to all the people around...We use to start at around 8 or 9 and continue till 12 ..Then finally the session which everyone liked “eating”….

Bas now me takin a break….will keep u posted on how we njoyed holi on sat…byee

Today...

Today got up really early, I guess there were 2 things which prompted me to do so, one is my cell phone problem..from yday I a not able to make calls from it...donno y its showin "Error in connection"..So have to go to the gallery to check out wat the problem is...
the 2nd is the realization that there are too many things lined up in the comin 1 month..all related to my college..presentations ,Duggi uncle's pain in the ass assingement ,marketing viva ,RM test... god iam just wondering how this sem is gonna end...hope in ends the same way it ended the last time...on a high note.

I realized how dependent we had become on our cell phones, every 2 min yday i was was pickin up the fone tryin to make calls and see if its fine..but to my dismay it hadnt yet started workin.
Well as far as the college goes kinda had the feelin rite from day one of this sem that this time it will be different...most of the Prof were keen to make our life miserable.
Handlin this pressure has been little difficult..its not been a cake walk for me atleast.. But jus when i felt i cant take it ne more there was this motivation which i got and pushed me to go for it..

Ok back to today mornin ,got up and started my comp opened up case study which duggi had given..hopin to finish the case assingement i started readin ..read it thrice and donno for some reason was not able to continue..and there i was siting in front of the computer thinking wat to do :-D hehe...as usual jus surfed for some time...and logged out.... :-P

Now iam back online to write this segment…LOL ne ways chalo have to go to the gallery now…it opens at 11….

Goa a paradise???? think again!!!

Lately this news has been really causing a lot of stir and has again raised questions towards Indian police adding on the recent murders list of tourists that happened in goa..the 15-year-old British tourist Scarlett Keeling's...raped and murdered is the latest one..

2 weeks into the case and the Goa police is just playing the blame game.
Goa the supposed to the paradise is loosing its charm due to this stuff and guess who is playin the culprit the Goa police and and the bloody politicians.
Recently the case took new turn ,the arrest of 28-year-old bartender and drug peddler Samson D'Souza. Samson has been charged with murder and remanded to 14 days of police custody. Three other men were also questioned by the police.

The Goa police, which earlier dismissed Scarlett's death as a simple case of drowning, had to conduct a second autopsy following pressure from her family and media. The second autopsy proved beyond doubt that Scarlett was raped and murdered. Meanwhile, Scarlett's mother Fiona Mackeown and other family members have demanded a CBI probe, saying they had no faith in the Goan police. Fiona earlier alleged a huge "police cover up" in the case.The shameless goan police did even think twice before covering this story and blaming it all in Fiona.
What the hell is wrong with them...The Police , politicians and corrupt bureaucrats. Corruption of Indian police is at heights. All they do is cover up. I feel for foreign visitors who expect to visit a great culture, in return they find death and the real India..
the thing that is making me more angry is that No action was taken against the policemen who were guilty of 'cover up.
It high time that proper action is taken against them and they are penalized.

Its not right on our part to blame the whole country for this but when such a thing happens outsiders don’t concentrate on the police who played mischief but they blame the whole country..
Nothing more to say ya...such things really drive you mad and question our self been a part of this country….

Virajpet Callin...

Virajpet my native place positioned in the heartland of Coorgs coffee gardens is the second largest town of the district ….donno for quite sometime i feel like goin to my native….a place where my mum dad grew up….being attached to that place rite from start…the Ganpati devastan[temple], the clock tower, the bus stand, the church school….its just soo nice.

A 2 ½ hr drive from Mysore..that is if you have your own vehicle….:-P other wise it takes around 4 hrs..for people who are tired of the jostle and commotion of Mumbai or for that matter ne metro cities it a place where you can truly unwind….

Normally use to go der every summer break till 9^th std…use to be fun spending time with all my relatives in a huge house…a typical small town which wakes up as late as 11am and sleeps as early as 7:30 pm…

A walk down from our house to the clock tower use to be fun.. trees all around, vehicles passing by…small kids playin in the fileds…

It use to be real fun coz even in the month of may it use to rain der and rain very profoundly.. I and my cousins use to always sit on the gate and guess the names of the buses which use to pass by…..it use to be fun…then there use to be a session of pluckin guavas from the trees everyday….bloody ants to to bite us still we had that kida in us to pluck the fruits…. Then there use to be the neighbors dogs….we
use to go to the balcony and use to throw things towards the dogs and play with them….

We use to be amused coz we could see so many jack fruits lying down on the road and no body bothered to pick it up and take it…. Though we never had one me and my bro use to quietly go and pick 1 or 2 and bring it home hehe…

A week at my native use to be a nice way to relax and be ready to get back to the fast life of Mumbai

An excellent reminder ....

This picture was sent to me by AP was just awestruck over it and the fact that how true it was...everyday we whine and whine about wat we dont and keep on craving for that...but never value wat we have at present... A small reminder to all my friends to be happy with what is der with you at presen, do crave for more but dont forget to njoy wat you have now.

"To make money we lose our health and then to restore our health we lose money.
We live as if we are never going to die and we die as if we never lived..."

Women's day.

God made Adam,

he sat back,

scratched his head & wondered...

I could have done better & he made eve...

Hope all my male counterparts would appreciate this joke in a light way...

Women's Day ....Just wanted to take this opportunity to wish all the all women I know a very happy Women's Day....Specially my Mum who has been a real strong pillar in my life...Der are some other people too whom i would like to wish ,I am sure i don’t need to take their names as they know me ...yes I would like to thank you too....for being a part of my life and giving me a lot of memories that i'll always cherish...

I guess all male friends today should take this opportunity and wish their loved women on this day. and show her how imp she is.....If for some time we keep our EGO aside and think...we would really agree that indeed they [WOMEN] are one gem of a creation that god has made...

When it comes to the male EGO we always say male species is superior... but we all know that it’s not true...I personally feel none of the species is superior...both are equal...And its our responsibility to change the society and its point of view towards women.

I guess to sum it up I would like to say…

Till the time we make a women feel she is handicapped coz she is a women, and as long as she is susceptible to society coz it doesn’t value her womanhood, the thinking will not change and the equation will remain the same. Women will be empowered from true lack of restrictions.Once women in India get to live their life with out any fear and restriction she will be able to change the mind set of people. and then more a womanhood will be seen as a limitation…

Bday Celebration

A day before my bday, and the first thing that i remembered when I think bout my age is Joey Tribbiani [people watching friends would understand wat iam sayin] lookin up and screaming at god on his 30th bday "Y GOD Y, Y you doin this to ME"...can never forget that eposide.

I still remember how excited I use to be during my primary schooling days....It was one of the very few days we could wear colored clothes at school....Dad use to get chocolates so that i could distribute it in my class and to the teachers....and if that was not enough there use to be a bday celebration at home....nothin big..it would be jus my friends and me with my parents- a cake,some waffers,juice and chocolate...may not sound ne thing great but trust me it use to real fun...Miss those days!!!
It would be a lie if i say that I njoyed my bday's only during my schooling days...Yes i did have a blast during my BMS days too. We were a bunch of 14 people....use to get together and celebrate everyones bday and use to have a gud time....
The best part of bday's during BMS time was close friends calling rite on the strike of 12 and wishing...I really like it a lot.....though some people wont be callin ne more..

Ne ways continuing with BMS bday celebrations..gettin together cuttin the cake. Applying cake on face was one of the main activity..still remember RS [jivv] sayin "arre cake mat waste karo yaar"..fir it was followed the so called gift session and then finally the imp thing of eatin hahah...idhar udher clickin snaps and thats it..... still when I sit and see those snaps it really makes me wonder how things use to be...
It still happens but not on that scale now.
Ohh shit its 5:30 have to rush to college now...bye

Mktg Prof

Joining this course [MHRDM] was always a tough decision for me ,coz I always wondered if I would be able to juggle between work and college ...But after joining it ,things kinda fell in place making things comparably easy for me. Some really gud friends and profs made a this journey exciting .

This particular segment is bout apna Mktg prof Srini that’s coz jus came out of his lecture today… still don’t know his full name...Mr Kaef coffee day [Cafe Coffee Day] is wat I call him... he actually pronounces Cafe as Kaef in his typical South Indian accent...The lectures that he has taken till now has been a real anonymity. No one in the class comes to know when he starts a topic and when he ends it...he and his set of examples go on and on and on...OK OK I know mktg lectures and live examples has to go hand in hand...but when you talk bout the same examples in every lec and trust me when I say every lec…. it gets boring :-P
His normal set of examples which I guess all simsrites would have heard are....
Udipi restaurants
Increase in consumption of I-pill and condoms during navratri
Kaef coffee day
Hearsh Bakery @ Bandra
Moocha @ Bandra
Bingo chips

But all said and done should accept, some of jokes are funny though some people don’t understand it immediately...

Ne ways guess I’ll make a move bye people

India Nails the series!!!!

The whole Australian summer which was always under the lime light due to all the controversies finally came to and end with India havin the last laugh...

India today created a history after 23 years ,won a major series in Australia as India beat Australia by 9 runs in 2nd final claiming VB Series .
Defending a target of 259 after Australia found itself in trouble thanks to Praveen kumar's initial 3 wickets ... . Just before the last over I was was sitting on the edge of the seat watchin Dhoni give the ball to Pathan....
cursing Dhoni was the 1st thing I did as Pathan was hammered over all corners of the ground in this match... But who new he would come up with such a great spell gettin out both Bracken and Hopes and wining India the cup. .Bhaji,Ishant,Yuvi ,Shrishant and everyone where on their toes dancin....All and all a great series

But on a sad note one thing that cricket lovers all over the world would be missing is our very own Adam Gilchrist ...the man who was always know as "big ears" We will miss you GILLY
