Makkey ki Kachori & Chai

What else one can desire on a lazy Sunday after noon....I was having so many clothes to wash ...and then a Engineer also want some reward for all the deeds he does ....so finally todays saga was concluded by Makkey ki Kachori and Chai (मक्के की कचोरी और चाय )....

For the proof readers here are the pics....Recipe is simple but preparing these kachori is hell of a task...

You need to extra careful while preparing the dough...coz the flour is little corse...so little bit of patience is all you need..pinch of salt and pinch of termeric and another pinch of red chilli powser along with some fav chaat masala is something which makes the kill....

Now we go for a long cup full of Tea, boiled with Tulsi and Ginger...along with aachar of two kinds...Mango and Red chilly...both from fabindia :) and lo and behold the Nashta cum lunch...i.e Brunch is ready to satisfy engineer's soul...

Now log on to http://www.fmw11.com . download all the devanand songs along with few Mujrooh Sulataan Puri's 60's and 70's and you are done for the day....

Late evening a visit to Big Bazaar shall kill the full sunday :) what else a forced bachelor shud do in Bangalore .....he he he ....

Purab aur Paschim

Incredible movie.....

Every time I watch it ...I find myself humming the sound track of "Raam, Raam, Raam, Raaja Raam Seeta Raam"....I don't know why.....The tune of the sound track is amazing....No other words have moved myself so near to peace.....

Here I still hold, " I do not believe in Lord, But still I believe I know him and he knows me" :)

I tried to find the sound track....on the web..., but was not able to ....so shayad jab bhi kisi ko sun-nee hogi to movie hee dekhi padegi ....anyhow....

.....I do not have anything else to write about the movie....a lot has already been written....

movie is incredible....

Do You Communicate Like a Man or a Woman?

This was Easy :) You Communicate Like a Man

When you communicate, you like to get to the point. You're not afraid to say what's on your mind - and leave it at that. Talking about your emotions drains you. You rather keep them to yourself. You prefer solving problems to wallowing in your sorrows.

Do You Communicate Like a Man or a Woman?

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Well it was there on Jeseem's Post so I thought I should also find mine :) Your EQ is 100

You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. You're a bit moody, and sometimes you have trouble coping with every day life.But you're by no means depressed, and your good days definitely out number your bad days. There's nothing really wrong with your life, but you may not be living up to your actual potential.Negative emotions can be a real drain of your energy, so make sure you have them under control.

Friends Circle is going Global...

In last few years a lot of my friends have moved to foreign soils...in other words my friend circle is now becoming global...

A friend moved to Hongkong few months back with his family and another is flying to UK in a day or two....

I feel happy for them, when they move for better prospects, but in the end, this poses a geographical challenge in front of me to be able to meet them anytime... :( so it makes feel sad and lonely at times....

Anyhow...Internet is a blessing and gtalk and yahoo IM is one of best things that has happened to the internet...

Always Remember - subject of request

I donot know Why I keep forgetting this....anyhow....reminding myself again and this time I know since this is blogged :) I shall remember this for all the time to come...

Learning:

1. Help and Advise both are always a subject of Request.

2. Untill and unless you are asked, never fall in trap of solving anything for anybody else.

3. Even if pleaded for Help or Advise, remember - "One's Life is One's own Respo"

Story coming soon .... :) not on this...but a real senti one is brewing with the coffee machine :)

Woh dete hain kyun

वो देते हैं क्यों ये दर्द बस हमी को,
क्या समझेगे वो इन आंखों की नमी को,
लाखों दीवाने हो जिस चाँद के,
वो क्या महसूस करेंगे इक तारे की कमी को

woh dete hai kyun yeh dard bas hum hi ko.
kya samjhege woh inn aankho ki nami ko.
lakhon deewane ho jis chaand ke.
woh kya mehsus karege ek taare ki kami ko.

Dear Washing Machine

Blessed is the soul that invented Washing Machine....
Blessed is the soul that invented the dryer with the washing machine,
Blessed is the soul that invented semi/fully automatic mechanism in the washing machine,
Blessed is the soul that invented the how to guide to use the washing machine,
Blessed is the soul that invented auto-timer in the waching machine.
Blessed is the soul that invented the automatic-water-levelor :) in the washing machine,
Blessed is the soul that invented the scoop-spoon to take perfect measureable quantity of Surf-Excel-automatic :)

I think in my whole life I have never blessed anybody so much.

I further think that in my whole life I myself have felt so much blessed too...

Reason...It's simple....Washing Machine...what a creation....unparallel vision...to make all the household guys ABLE or shud I say super ABLE to be able to manage the task of washing the mountains of clothes with almost Zero labour involved....

Ultimate pure Creation it is...there is nothing like it...

Now we humans can enjoy washing clothes while we watch TV, Gals brew there own coffee in kitchen, Guys gobble loads of KFC, along with Beer ....

The machine keeeps churing the clothes in her belly ...and keeps the round and round of life moving....

Again...Say with me...

Blessed is the soul...that invented....Washing Machine....

Posting on the Road

Technology is amazing gift....so folks this posting is coming to you live from the NH24.

I am in Cab on the way to Ghaziabad to visit my friends  and using Reliance Data Card Net connection on the road.

Wonderful ....so guys...again I assert "Be on Life Track"

One of my friend is now a proud father of a gal, since last night...Happiness is in the air...so breathe

Ye Lo "Happy Dusshera

So folks today is Dusshera...and since festival is to celebrate....and the time to be with family....I am here at Allahabad, wishing you all a great Dusshera....May your lord bless....You all :)

One liner of the day is "Be on Life track"... Shall explain it later :)

It's something to do with right or wrong track ;)

Learning to Change

Change is the only phenomenon which is constant .... Being a Taurian it's very hard for me to change....but I am now recognizing the need and ways to inflict change....

Let's see how much ....shall keep you posted....

!! TV lene nahin aaya hoon Mein !!

"TV lene nahin aaya hoon mein" - Wonderful dialogue, delivered superbly...for a amazing situation, by a amazing actor "Anupam Kher" in a amazing movie "Saaransh"....

I was watching this movie on Zee some time back...and this dialogue led me to think again....

Why the heck we are here...? Why all this pomp and show ?....Running a Rat Race shall make us nothing more than a Rat even if we win....

So folks think again....Why have you come over here ?

Kahin TV he to lene nahin aaye ho yahan per...with a DVD Player....and agar khuda hai to Qayamat bhi hogi ....aur Qayamat ke roz usney tumhara girebaan (Collor) pakad ker poocha ki kya lene gaye they duniya mein to kya javab doge :) bolo....bolo...

Socho...aur thoda dhayan sey socho...Think and think again...what you really want...and for what you came over here...is it the material for happiness or the happiness itself....

Life is short and time is running....

so folks...wake up....go...run....run...so fast this time...that there is no rat insight...do not count the distance...count Displacement....

do not worry for speed...it's the velocity that matters..and bloody hell it matters the most....

Live the passion in you....donot worry for the money flowing in or out...it's your life ...damn it!!! Give it a break....

You were not sent over here to reach some where...bugger....you are here to enjoy the journey...so look around....get...life....give life a chance... :)

Even if you sit idle on this globe...a trip round the sun is free in a year and every day you rotate ....thousands and thousands of kilometers ....so donot worry about running....

Stop for a moment and try to recall...when was the last time you saw....Rainbow....? When was the last time you shouted your lungs out.....when was the last time you stood on the roof...just admiring the full moon light....

Do you still remember ...how it feels soaking in the rain....how it feels listening to the mild air flowing past you while you bathe in full moon light....

Imagine.....Possibilities are immense...it's just you....your lord and your own Universe.......

Pain is high...so am I ...

People say, "Pain is a relative term".... But I say, No....It's a absolute Term, No Relativity....Pain is absolutely painful.... :(

If you still donot believe me...then I feel, you should try getting your bike skid-ded on road, fly in the air to fall on road and try to feel some road-rashes first hand.

The rashes on palm and knees, shall not only make you believe my thoughts, but also shall strengthen your moral fibre....grrrr....and thy shall stop laughing next time you see somebody getting rashes on road. :(

How do I know this ? - coz....just few hours back, My Honda Activa skidded.. :(...I flew in air .... bhoo...Bhooo....fall on the road....and road left cruel rashes on my right knee and both palms....Though Injuries are minor....But Pain is High... bhoooo...bhooo....

I returned back home...and my wife is now scolding me....as if I am a kid and donot know driving.....grrrr.....

anyhow....I shall be going to Doc...for that damn Injection ...sth you need to get within 24 hours...bhoooo...

But I am telling...you...Pain is always absolute...and it really helps if you keep crying like Tarzan, whenever you feel it hurting :) .... I shall write about why it help in few moments...

शायद इस बार तुझे मेरा घर मिल जाये

क्या चाहत है मुझे सचमुच मेरे साथ की
क्या राहत है मुझे सचमुच मेरे आप की

क्यों नहीं रहम खाता खुदा अपनी खुदाई पर
क्यों नहीं सहम जाता खुदा अब जुदाई पर

कभी तो खैर मैं भी रूक जाऊँगा
कभी तो खैर मैं भी थम जाऊँगा

शायद तभी तुझे भी सुकून आये
शायद तब तू भी खुदा से इन्सान बन जाये

चल अब मैं अपने घर के लिए चलता हूँ
शायद इस बार तुझे मेरा घर मिल जाये

Tagged Am I ?

Lo and Behold.....Tagging phenomenon is again here...I remember last year when so many bloggers were tagging each other randomly and in so many posts they were simply trying to fill in....It was fun... :)

I think fun is again here to stay... :) so who has tagged me and for what.... ?

Here is it ...This time it's Dimple and She has tagged me for 8 random facts.....bhoooo...bhoo....People say everything is random about me...there is very little to be predictable...anyhow.... Here we go.....

Randomly Random Randomised Facts...

1. I hate Predictibility....though I myself am able to predict so many stuff...around me ....he he he...now since I hate predictability....I try to do things random or try to at least randomize....to actually confuse ....every body confused.... :)

2. I fear loneliness and helplessness...I don't know why...but I do....anyhow....I tried escaping both but some how or some way...these 2 kept following me in the darkest terrains....Some of the beautiful times of life I have lost becoz of these two....

3. I love kitchen...If I am happy you shall find me in kitchen....preparing something ....If I am too tensed....you shall again find me in kitchen ...either finding something to eat or preparing something to eat....I believe...In a HOME ...the most important place after toilets is kitchen...both should be clean and properly equipped... :) ....Though I like terrace also...and there is nothing like sleeping on sofa, watch Cartoon Network...with lots of finger chips :) on the table...and some Archies or say "Nagaraj" comics on floor....I still miss my comics :( ....

4. Now a days, I use Autorickshaw to travel to office and come back. Although I own a Honda Activa & Cheverlot Spark. But don't why...I have stopped liking driving....I have actually started liking the feel of sitting in Auto, listening to music and reading. Now a days I am simultaneously reading - Shakuntala, Dilbert - Highly defective Seven Years, Why Smart Executives Fail, Phantoms in the brain, Tinkle....I think I have started liking...reading 4-5 books in parallel.

5. I feel senti when I see senti movies....I have seen Anand umpteen number of times and have wept like a kid every single time... I laugh a lot...and people around me also laugh a lot.... :)

6. Every time me and my wife fight....we end up laughing in between coz of some comic act by me or her...and the whole point in fighting is lost...and then we decide that we shall now fight seriously without any kind of comedy in between.... - We both are still waiting for that fight to happen :)

7. I can sleep while listening to high volume music even via headphones.. (this is what I use to do when I do not use to get sleep in night and I wanted to sleep, I shall play some good remix song with beats, play it in continous loop, headphone on head and sleep).... I can sleep while eating and eat while sleep....I have been awake coz I felt hunger.... :) woken up during middle of night coz I felt hungry...normally people woke up coz of a nightmare or they might feel thirsty :)

8. I donot believe it LORD...coz I know him....and as far as I know him, he knows that I know, that he knows that I know :)

so lemme now tag all around me ..... :)...oops it seems Dimple has tagged all those I know already....okay lemme find some to tag ;)

referencing the buzz... & MP3

So many times in my life, I have stopped for a while and looked around to reference.

This time referencing is happening but without stopping - I don't know why?

I use to enjoy the stopping and then referencing process, but now I am caught a bit off-guard, actually I really do not know how to handle this referencing without stopping.

Anyhow let's bring the mood of post bit moody.... :) so at present along with this post, I am watching MP3 (Mera Pehla Pehla Pyar)

I am almost half way through...and Wow, kya fundoo movie hai....total nostalgic....the characters, the emotions, the advises, the anger, the situations...almost everything...is natural....the difference is just of the scale and quality of beautiful gals :) { They are a bit more gorgeous :) }

Shall continue... (this time I am sure :) )....

Hell's Own Voice

People sometimes refer to Voice of Heaven. So if Heaven has a voice and if there is heaven, then there must be a hell with it's own voice.

So what's it's like to be Hell's own Voice.....

lemme complete it during the night....in Hell's own environment ;)

.....

Day to Dream and Indian Ocean

Looking for a day to Dream, sipping coffee and Indian Ocean (Kandisa and/or Black Friday) playing loud as Hell's own voice in the foreground.

How simple are the desires to keep me happy all the time, you yourself can visualize from the desire in first line :)

People across the globe find it easy to dream while they sleep, but unfortunately or say luckily day-dreaming is considered a virtue in itself...

Day dreaming makes you roam in the uncharted waters where you want to be always, and dreams in night carves an illusion as if you are there in those uncharted waters.

Dreams during the day has the ability to transform to reality at some point in time and space whereas dreams of night just goof up your mind to create false happiness.

So folks let us dream....sipping coffee (Caffine Kick at CCD or with Espresso italiano - Grande at Barista) with Indian Ocean playing loud in ears..vibrating thy soul...promising those dreams to become reality..:)

15. DO_NOT_DISTURB

Shall post more to this post in the morning....I am not able to recall some of the great status messages :)

Home away from Home

I was trying to write about this since a long time, but somehow got busy in not so imp tasks and it got pending...

So Home away from Home begins here...

I always use to believe that there is no place like your own home in whole of this globe, but as I moved on with my life, I discovered that at least for me there are places on this globe that exists just like my home.

The comfort, the ease and the air is exactly the same as my own home. "How these were achieved is out of scope" but certainly the credit goes to the people who own those places. I shall list them one by one.

Let's start from India ...my own Delhi....

1. The Delhi Delight - The home exists in the heart of my own Delhi. My Friend "Adnan & his naughty wife Sahba" owns it. Now what differs this home, from all of rest houses in the whole apartment complex or say from all other homes I shall be listing down is "the scope" which resides within the home. The air is calm, the energy is high, ideas just flow. Temptation to open the fridge is immense. The freedom to roam, to talk, and shout is unparallel.

It's a 3 BHK home, completely full of all the stuff you ever need in a home. The semi-tranparent cotton drapes on the windows are simply superb, they keep the home lighted with spirits all the time.

Guests or I think I should say Friends just keep coming in to this home all the time or anytime...they just walk in and are welcomed always with smile on the face & incredible cusines on dining table. Then there are always naughty scoldings from Sahba and amused Addy waiting all the time for a Bear Hug :)

Addy is fond of Calvin and most of the times I feel, he thinks and talks like Calvin :) and Sahba - I don-no what She is fond of !!...But She loves life around her :)

2. Spectrum in San Jose, California : You might be thinking - Why this home is named as Spectrum ? Well Simple Question, Simple Answer - Spectrum is first word that comes to my mind whenever I remember. This lovely home is owned by "'Prashant', his intelligent wife 'Arundhati' and the 3 year old naugtiest kid with twinkling eyes 'Aarav'".

This home is categorised by immense thought-process that prevails, the classic climate of California makes the surroundings even more enjoyable. The quick and witted queries from Arundhati and parallel intelligent responses from Aarav can keep anybody busy.

I can never forget, it's only other home away from my own home, where I have celebrated my Birthday with cake, funtastic dinner and delight.

The echoes, the fragrance in kitchen ruled by Arundhati, giggles of Aarav, the corners, the convertible Sofa, the single night read of "five point someone", the simple and lazy Saturday mornings, the breakfast, amazing Pasta shall always keep me senti about this home and I believe, I shall always be welcomed in Spectrum :)

Now they have shifted the house but I still know that lively soul of home is there in New House.

Prashant is fond of shopping, Aarav loves to play around and Arundhati is fond of Talks ;) - I know She is gonna kick me for this.

3. Sweet Seattle, Washington : Well, there had been times, when I felt fear to be in here, coz this home is too Sweet. This is owned by "Mukul, his curious wife Rashi and cutie kid Aashray".

The home is just amazing, you can run inside the home, even play cricket inside the hall. The energy is just immense, you name the event or desire and it shall be done.

The amazing Omellete at 4 PM, the quiet sunshine around the home, the island in between the kitchen, fridge loaded with Juices and Coke :)...whatever you desire is simply taken care.

This is the home where one loves to celebrate Holi, Diwali...have get-togethers. Run arround the home, make the entrance dirty and then :) get scolded by Rashi.

Rashi and Mukul - they provide amazing equivalence to each other, Rashi is naughty, She get angry, She fight with you and then prepares one of the finest Pakodas and Tea, on the contrary Mukul tries to understand and you are done :)

Anyhow...In here too people just walkin the home and settle around the hall, help themselves on there own from the fridge and just keep talking even middle of the night.

Rashi use to be fond of Chocolates, Mukul of Omellete and Cartoons, and Though I have not yet met Aashray - but I still know he shall be fond of gals ;)

Let's Start

Couple of Posts pending....

Let's begin them all... :) The thoughts shall be mixed, coz they incubated for a while...longer than usual this time....might not be in sequence ...but who cares as long as they are readable :)

Finally at last

So folks, finally at last I am back. Right now :) I am again back to Windows live writer :) why...coz my Internet connection is damn slow and thus I need something so that I can write the blog offline.

Life is damn damn busy and I am not able to understand why ?

Anyhow...now a days most of the stuff happens automatically :) in office, in the project, at home, around the corner everywhere :) I donno how and I donno why ?

At home, I get Clothes ironed automatically, dinner ready :) at office setups are automatically down :) problems are automatically created...

Oh man...Mind of a married man...I mean life of married man :) is too typical

More posts coming up tomorrow :)

Fedora 7 is here to stay

Just installed Fedora 7 from a live CD and posting this post using the Blog Entry Poster.

Commenting Dawn...Seher :)

It's been a long time since I visited Dawn of Seher aka Fiza fame.... Oh lord she has started mindblowing :) so the following was commented on one of her post ...link is there in the title of this post :) then since I a busy blogger ...he he he ...I thought I can print the comment on my blog too :) it can count like a post ...right !!! :) I hope fiza won't sue me :)

हमने क्या कभी ये सोचा था,
या ये सिर्फ नज़रों का धोखा था,

काश कि तुमने फासलों का दिल से अंदाज़ लिया होता,
बस्स एक बार जरा हमारी नज़रों से जो एहसास लिया होता,

"ना होती फिर घर कि मुर्गी दाल बराबर,
या तो तुम खुद शाही पनीर होती,
या फिर आज इस घर में बनते वोह आलू के परंठेय along with आम का achar
फिर आज हमको कम से कम ये Maggie ना नसीब होती "

Re-iterating the logics

Folks,

Again trying to commit to my soul...

1. If you want something to done correct. Do it yourself. - Here the constraint is that if you donot have enough bandwidth to do it all or the task is so huge that you need to distribute the responsibilites then, here is what comes from James bond's movie

• Always have an escape - which means always have a plan B which should be executed if after 33% execution of task or the 33% of time spent over on plan A whichever is earlier, you visualise that Plan A shall fail. - I normally execute plan B after 27% and force plan C just after 22 % of Plan B just to mitigate the risks. The problem with this is that I spend too much energy in finding the parallel/backup/shadow resources to achieve :)
  
  2. Live in Realisation and keep dreams for others to roam in.
  
  Rest Later...

why is everybody so damn busy ?

I previously wrote a long post to glorify this...but this damn browser and this damn interface of blogger which doesnot automatically saves like t does in gmail...screwed it all up and as everybody else I am damn damn busy...I cannot rewrite it again....

Anyhow I promise, very soon I shall be on same schedule to writing a post a day....Though I still donot believe in him coz I know him...I wanna ask you all, if you do believe in HIM and you believe that HE hears you then ask HIM to gimme few moments when I am not busy.... I am very much fed up now...I don' know why but I am ...

Anyhow...I think this cud summarise....
Aajkal na jaaney kyun, Iss sheher mein sabhi masroof hain,
Aajkal na jaaney kyun, Iss sheher mein sabhi kanjoos hain,

Kuch lamhey he miley they humey jeene ke liye,
phir kyun bher liye intey gum iss seene mein,

Ab to humey kuch der chain se baith jaaney do,
ab to humey kuch der chain se muskuraney do,

Shayad humey bhi bharosa ho jaye us khuda ka
jisney khudai to banayi, per kabhi bharosa nahin ker paya iss janha ka,

shayad phir WOH, kuch der muskura paye,
shayad phir WOH, mujhe kuch der akela chhod paye

!! Raat lambi ho teri bhi itni, ki fir subeh na ho !!

Don't ask me why I wrote this, I was feeling uneasy from so long...I desire to write something different, but much has happened in last 2 months that only the following came to the post...

काश कि अब सुबेह ना हो, काश कि अब मुझे नींद ना आये,
काश कि अब बारिश ना हो, काश कि अब मुझे याद ना आये
काश कि अब खुदा खुद को भूल जाये, काश कि अब मौत आ जाये
और काश कि अबसे तू भी ना सोये, रात लंबी हो तेरी भी इतनी, कि फिर कभी सुबेह ना हो

For those who know hindi, but cannot read the script...

Kaash ki ab subeh na ho, Kaash ki ab mujhe neend na aaye,
Kaash ki ab baarish na ho, kaash ki ab mujhe yaad na aaye,
kaash ki ab khuda khud ko bhool jaye, kaash ki ab maut aa jaye,
Aur kaash ki absey tu bhi na soye, Raat lambhi ho teri bhi itni, ki fir kabhi subeh na ho.

For those who donot know hindi, here is the translation

May the morning never happens now, May I don't sleep any more now,
May the rain never happens now, May I never remember you now,
May the Lord Loses himself now, May the death comes now,
And May from now on you also do not sleep, Your night should also become so long, that the morning never happens from now on...

शायद खुदा को

आखिर क्यों छीलता है, खुदा चांद को रोज रात ,
चांदनी क्यों बरसती है , जुदा हो रोज रात ,

क्यों नहीं रूक जाता ये जहाँ कुछ पल के लिए,
क्यों नहीं थम जाती ये धड़कन कुछ पल के लिए,

हमे भी सुकून आ जाता अगर तुम कुछ देर और बैठ जाते ,
शायद कुछ और देर के लिए हम दोज़ख का रास्ता भूल जाते,

पर शायद खुदा को मेरा सुकून मंजूर ना होगा,
तेरा नाम लेकर कुछ और जीना उसे मंजूर ना होगा,

वह क्या बात है

तो साथियों अब हम भी लिखेंगेय हिंदी में

Is it Real ?

Today is obviously May 12, 2048 - he is supposed to celebrate 70th birthday...but he is not...he never planned for it...he always believed he shall not live more that 40-45 years....but somehow...somewhere...something went wrong and too much correct and he continued to live...

:) teaser again...but this time I am gonna finish it :)

Again and Again....

I don't know how many times I shall be trying to refix my thought process again n again and realign my life with the Universe's consipiracy....

anyhow...have done something again...in a hope to be able to align my own self better...Don't know how much I shall be able to succeed but success has never been a parameter for me to take a decision...

anyhow...details shall follow...but the only assertion I shall be making in here is that...I am doing all this is to reach wherein I have more time, energy and ability with you all folks....I have more and better control over life and able to predict with more accuracy (do I really desire to predict....but that another question)....anyhow...

Life is a celeberation... Live it... doesn't matter how you do it ...but do celeberate....

Where was I ?

Well, I was shifting house....Oh lord what a task it is....pack up everything...and then try to fix up every stuff....

The present condition is half of my stuff is lying at one friend's house and other half at other friend's home where I am staying...so why all the stuff and me are not at one place ... :) reason is simple...I didn't got the house to shift...still woodwork et al stuff is going on....

anyhow...what I was writing about....So since I have not fixed up things in new home...I shall talk about packing up the things....

Packing the household stuff in carton boxes...its almost like packing your life into boxes....each book, each utensil, each painting, each photograph from the wall, each and every piece from the show-case when it's picked up...it's like you are picking a piece of life that was glowing with grace in the home and trying to pack it up into those dead cardboard boxes...yes it feels like all the synergy which was associated with the home is slowly & slowly getting engulfed by the ugly brown boxes...

Each moment which is spent in the house, I have ever left seems to be eternity, each memory seems to surround me, trying to pull me back and then fill in each pore in my heart with sentiments.

Anyhow....I am still a bit far from my own abode and the feel is slowly moving to become a goal.

Four Hundred and One

So folks ...Last post unknowingly became 400th post on my blog...when I started I never imagined that I shall be continuing with the blogging...this is some how longest time I ever stayed with something which I do for leisure...The only other thing which competes with my blogging is the continuing spirit to relish the sight of beauty which is joy forever :) in simple words "Bird-watching" :)

Anyhow....the travel so far has been good...it's been full of emotions actually...I am delighted that I still have readers reading onto my blog...though now a days I write less and read more...

But as the valentine is approaching again... :) I believe more and more posts shall be coming ...typeof ...hmmmm...senti again...

anyhow...I only have sth to say ...I have few readers who try to analyse whatever I post and then try to understand my own psyche :) which in itself a mystery to me ...and then they try to manipulate me whenever they meet... :( some how....I wanna tell those ki yaaro...blog ke baarein mein blog per...not in real life talks... :) Life is altogether different ball game ...

anyhow...thanx a lot to you all for being here....

Whom are you blogging for ?

It's been almost around two and half year since I wrote my first post on blogspot...today came across an ad on indiatimes on how to earn money while you blog :) they were advertising for ibibo where you get money if you are among top 100 bloggers ...with some conditions and more conditions :)

As I was roaming on the ibibo, it flashed for whom we bloggers blog ? ibibo is full of bloggers who are doing all sought of tactics just to have higher ranking for their blogs...no I am not gonna blog on the tactics or qualify any tactic gud bad or ugly :). I shall be trying to bring for whom or for what, me and my fellow bloggers blog....

So
most of us write for ourselves....
some of us write for some body special :)
few of us write for others...
more than few of us write for all of us...
quite a lot write on the topics of general concerns...
another quite a lot write posts on posts written by others...
some of us might forget to comment on fellow bloggers posts...
but those some always remember to crosslink the posts...
a lot of us write very senti stuff which often brings tears...
nearly to few write classic stuff which bring smiles....
there is another lot who just write to keep writing...
there are few more who write to vent out all there feelings...love, hatred, sorrow, despair...and what not...
few more of us write to create memories and keep a online series of events and happenings...
there were few blogs written for flair of writing and for ego of being an author....
there were another lot who write coz we love to read them...these are most important bloggers anywhere...

but I don't see any reason to blog to earn money...what the heck...?? what are we...money churning machines... ATMs ....anyhow that just personal choice ...

I write...coz I love writing...I love when known and unknown people come to my blog and leave their comments...I prefer writing senti coz it comes naturally....and when during chat, bloggers come with sore eyes...I love imagining...that...though, what I wrote was certified fiction inspired by real happening...but still is able to create the near to life.. effect...I write for myself and most of the times for you all....

Stop asking questions

Well, as everybody knows that hirdu is known for his one liners...here is something which is coined today ;)

Stop asking questions, they shall ruin your own thinking process. - Hows and whys...well do not ask me...think a bit and thy shall yourself know it....

The suo motto of this thought is to encourage self thought & decision making process, Asking questions and than seeking answers from somebody else, ruins the your own thought process and ability to effectively deduce the deductions which in turn limits your own imagination to analyse.

Kaash ki mujhe bhi neend aa jaye

Kaash ki mujhe bhi neend aa jaye, aur ye jindagi kuch der ke liye tham jaye,
Shayad isi tereh ye ruh kuch sukoon paye, aur khuda ko khud per bharosa ho jaye,

kaash ki thodi der ke liye ye duniya mujhe bhool jaye, aur mera mein mujh mein kho jaye,
shayad isi tereh mujhe jundagi ka yakeen aaye, aur khuda ruk ker khudai mein kho jaye,

Kaash ki woh aaj phir nazar aa jaye, aur kuch aur kareeb se gujar jaye,
Shayad iss baar mein kuch keh payoon, aur mujhse pehley khuda na pahuch jaye.

New year Celebrations

Well the new day of the new year 2007 started in Goa ....Bright sunny morning...

kher this I shall be describing a later post...how things started, how they proceeded and what all was determined this year...

Only gud thing about this new year is that I have started living...I have started ignoring the failures and simply go ahead without any regrets...No looking back ...for anything or for anybody...I came alone, I am living with few ppl around me, I shall die alone...thats the game...

Some how as of today I have got time everything...and everybody....I have time even for myself...Some times it feels great to have time for yourself...there and then u can do so many stuff....all at the same time and feel delight also...

Anyhow...part of the game...

Lets start the New Year with the feel..."Life is a celebration...Live it...."
