Closing the year on an Amazing note!

Last year I made it a point that every new year ahead, just before the dawn of it, I would write about a person who had made the heaviest positive impact in my life so far! Result of it last year I wrote bout my sister, and this year, all this while I was actually thinking of whom should I be writing about! The answer drops down to this amazing guy who knocked my door 4 years back and equipped me with 40 years of experience! the time thats so short, yet so great!

He was this small cute guy, at the 1st shot nobody thinks he is so capable. But there is loads of incredible stuff hiding within this 5.8' long human body!
His birth was ordinary!
His brought up was much more normal!
He did not see much of trouble in his brought up! Yet he knows the best of lessons in life!
He never ran short of money in life! Yet he knows the worth of every single penny that's spent!

For me, I learn whats perseverance in life from him! This guy has got loads of patience towards the hardest of things! except me! :P
Right from the year long preparation for your IIT and 4 years of slogging for an IIM seat, you made it! Atleast I do not know someone personally who had this so much of courage to go behind something this stubborn!

There had been so many instances where you proved how strong you needed me! I know there would be 100 people in the world to love me! But the only guy who had the burning desire to give me a life.. and a future! Something which a normal guy in your situation doesn't care to do! I would be grateful to you for that all life! There is loads to learn from you, my sweetheart!

Its easy to learn things in life when you are exposed to worst of situations. Its easy to follow a certain things after you have really been through it! But what actually means is when you have NOT been through the toughest of times, yet you know how to handle the worst of things! - There, you are an iconic example that I see!

Hope this year brings loads and loads of happiness and colors into your life! And wish I would be one of the sources amongst a thousand that brings peace and joy to You in this wonderful year!

To the readers: Wish you feel the same amount of joy as what I do at this moment! Wish you get to meet a person who is as great, understanding and lovable as what God has blessed me with! Wish you get to go through the same magic in love as I do everyday! Have a safe, happy and prosperous new year ahead!
Godspeed to you good people!

been quite a while

occupied with so many things. now and then I kept peeping into the blog page and every time I do 'something' in life other than work say, I think that I must write down about that. but time just flies away and nothing goes the way I want it to! well at least with the blog!! the more I want to be a good blogger, the more I realize I'm bad at it for some reason! ;)
wanted to write about 2 states. like every other blogger who turns into a tweeter, I have been one too off late and that 140 character update about your day-to-day happenings gives, though not greatly, a lil bit of satisfaction that keeps me going! so coming back to 2 states, a lot of them had read, enjoyed and commented. everything about the book is awesome. having base in one of those 2 states thats portrayed in the book, I could thoroughly enjoy it over and over again. that was yet another hell of a thing for readers from CB!
been to places in hyd plus weekend trips to Madras and Bangalore. How-much-ever you do, whatever you do, you cant get enough of those places. Apart from all this, had some great night outs, dinners, movies etc within the city. Learnt some lessons for life. Been feeling blessed to get a good set of friends here, each one is THE one. Its so amazing how the wavelength match happens only with a very rare set of people and even more amazing is that when you are in a group, how it goes along well within all of them - getting a bunch of people and even better, getting along with the whole bunch, man life is worth nothing else. A set of friends, a dinner out, a small car, a continuous chat, a lil bit of daaru, a lot of laughter, a sense of life - Wonderful! Life is good.
I read here and there people live with loneliness and they feel great about it. they can live with only nature and the world in itself and they say rest of it all is materialistic. How weird! whats with life when you don't fall in love with somebody. when you don't get into fights over nothing [Like what Ne-yo says;)], when you get out of the web that you got caught into and fly through the deep blue sky. forget yourself, feel enthusiastic, break free, have fun, enjoy the way you want to! the thing called 'life' has got lots to do.
On the other hand, we tend to get confused between things. I wonder if there can be somebody who is really living life the way it takes you over, and not make a big deal out of anything. do what you feel like and move on, is there someone like that who is not bothering to repent a wee bit about any of the actions/reactions!? And probably is that where a person is defined good/bad. I have always wanted to read the BhagavatGita, but I could not really do it religiously. All I understand is its really mean to break someone's trust. But time takes you nowhere.
New year following, there is gonna be a good break. I have no plans in hand yet. A little worried about it. Let's see how that's gonna go.
All is that for now.
Hope for you to see a better moment every second that you live. Godspeed.

"Night"-mares

the list of those that I have gone through over the past 6 months on Rd No-1 Banjara hills ;) ya.. 90% of the time I have spent in this city is in and around this place.
I have been literally waiting to post about these, been crazily busy with so-called work but!

.. so .. It was a jam packed weekend, spent completely at office. Sunday 9.00PM, I could no more stay up with it at this desolated office. Mind thwarted to touch that no-mouth-watering dinner back home, though was hungry like a mad dog that starved for years! filled the tummy with something, (I do not want to say crap) for that moment meanwhile roomies planned on their cooking hunt. We decided to go for a round of Cream-stone icecream, i beat nothing can get better than those! By the time we, 3 of us, left home it was almost 10-10.15PM and me suffering from shoulder pain decided not to ride with 2 people behind (that we tried before and came out with flying colors) ;)
Some unbreakable hopes, we had, that chances of finding a rick at that time of the night is as high as a herbivore eating meat, cant get any more weird huh.. both with the hopes and the analogy!? :P
Anyway, hit the main road was waiting for a rick near the signal, almost 10 minutes passed by and to freeze our blood, a car at whatever maximum speed that you can imagine racing in a zig-zag manner towards us, with a bunch of crazy drunken maniacs inside. 3 of us stood still having the final thoughts, it came close and zoomed away, we were saved!
And within no time, came by a lady in an Indigo with another lady accompanying her, asked if we need a drop, 3 of us were totally distracted of the incident that just happened and without an iota of hesitation, we got into her car.
as soon as we got it she said, 'do not take drops like this at this time of the night, its ok with me, but its not all that safe, just a word of caution'. that was enough to confuse us if we should trust her or not.
And then she said, meet this so n so, she is from Somalia. the next shock for us. we got scared the hell out! 3 of us were sitting together luckily at the back and we held each other firmly listening to that.
She could intelligibly read our faces through the mirror and said do not get scared, there is no problem. And added that she had to deliver an icecream tub to someone on the way, so she had to take a different route. she got into a road that diverged from the main road which was completely residential, all dark and no signs of humans out on the streets.
We were almost pissing on our pants, dreaded, eyes protruding out. Suddenly some God thing hit my mind that I have to do something about the situation, so I picked up my phone (loads of thanks to this saviour) called up nobody and was talking, explaining the whole situtaion and pretended as if there are people waiting for us at the parlour and they are not far away.
She was speeding highly and there came a sudden pause at a corner of a street. We thought that was the last moments of our lives. I was meanwhile thinking if we should just jump out of the car and start running like what happens in some women oriented stunt movies.
She paused for less than a minute and took a u-turn and stopped outside a booth bungalow kinda house and said she got to get off the car to drop the stuff in that house. We said nothing, she got out and came back, started off, I again started my random calls but this time no faking, called a friend of mine who lives in the city and confused her to the most possible extent, but she could get the hint quite a bit. I said that I would call her back before hanging up.
This lady, not sure why, drove back and joined the main road and we gave a sigh of relief, not huge though! She was trying to make a conversation on the way. But we were $hit scared and completely frozen that none of us were operating on a normal mode.
We, however managed to ask her where does she live and when she said Road no 3 which is completely on a different direction from rd no 1, we asked her if she had come all the way to just drop us and added she couldn't have taken so much trouble for this and that we would have managed somehow. She said just because we were girls, she thought its unsafe to be waiting at this time of the night, not realizing that we have already realized how unsafer it was to accept her offer to drop us.
We finally reached cream stone, and in no time after we got out of the car, she just zoomed past that we couldn't notice her car number, we were even unsure of the color and model of the car. She probably did not want any of our imaginary friends who were supposedly waiting for us at the parlor to notice her!
I called up my friend and explained her of the confusing call which I gave her a while ago.
And then.. we started discussing and tried to connect the dots to realize how risky it was to get into such things and be in such a situation, hogging our favorite icecreams, that's worth of the whole risk that was taken! :P
Assumptions/blunders made:
1. We took the drop because she was a lady, and after the car that passed us leaving us alive just by a matter of luck, we definitely thought it was unsafe to be waiting on the road anymore. Indian mentality, that thinks women are less dangerous.
2. General matter of fact is that nobody (should I say no girl) would bother to drive an extra mile just to give a drop for some unknown tom, dick and harry on the road.
3. And because Cream-stone is just at the end of the same road as we were waiting at, we thought she must be driving somewhere ahead, that she must be going via this place only!
4. We failed to ask her to stop the car as soon as she said she had to take a different route, because if shez gonna say that its ok and rubs it off, we cannot go on arguing with her. It might either heat up the argument and she could get furious the same moment or its like we are giving her more time to think of what could she really do with us.
Only good thing that we could do to help the situation was the random phone calls that I made, pretending of informing people about what was happening. Probably made her think that there are people around for us to take care if something goes wrong. My friends went on praising me for this :D
End of it, I don't say I was 100% sure that she tried to play a trick with us. But... there certainly seemed to be a wary of negative intention with the whole act of her. Particularly when she zoomed past as soon as we got off the car, there was a pinch of frustration that was seen on her face, might partly be because of the way we were acting or it really is that she couldn't see any profit for driving down that extra mile!
And now, to show that we genuinely realized what was with the escapade, we did not take a drop. Also we were ready to pay the auto-wallah 1.5 by meter instantly, forget the fact it was 11.45PM then! ;)

This was my 3rd adventure and the 1st was something similar, around the same time of the night, at the same place, I was actually riding back home after office on a weekday and someone started following, which I noticed through the rear view mirror, only after half a km after he actually started off. I saw that fellow with a bike, standing there at that signal and just a stranger on the road. But luckily my flat was very close by and I reached soon after I saw him behind. Worst thing was I stopped outside to open the latched gate to get in and bloody bugger, he stopped too, but thankfully at a distance and cried 'baibyy'! I gave a stare and just entered ignoring that a**e!

2nd one was the mistake on my part, I was driving down from the wrong side of the road even after seeing the cops standing there arguing with someone. I was clever enough to think that they wouldn't notice me :P but he started running towards me as soon as he saw me coming, I took a U-turn and sped away, he was almost there catching me. Escapeeeee :P

Alright. do not scream at me now. I have realized how risky being there! But at some point of time, somehow mind doesn't really fail to take risk!

Celebrity

few days back this post here caught me thinking into it, somehow.

Now after this I go back and check the theoretical meaning of Celebrity and it says "Famous person". I, in turn get more curious, go back and look for the theoretical meaning of famous and that directly says first-rate or excellent. Anything that's excellent is viewed as a benchmark, so why not with humans. When a person is so well known to the world, we get curious about them, we look for news about them, read about them and try to look up for good things from what they do. Its not now, yesterday or day before that we are into this logic. It just goes with the time starting right after this word was invented.

Taking a simple example, every kid in each family picks up something from parents/relatives. So looking upto someone as a matter of inspiration is something genetic. Now, not everything that a person expects can be imbibed from within the family and that's where the outside world enters one's life. After all, Popularity is a matter of how many people know a person and how much they talk about him/her! Its a very human tendency to observe and follow what a famous personality does. And thereby the word role model!

Agreed imitation is a one whole big thing to be ignored. Being oneself is important. And for the wise that makes what is called life - Be oneself and try to pick up the good things as you move on with time and life. So celebrities are probably one of the sources from where things "could be" picked up.

Yes. there should be a line drawn to everything and so is to this too.. That is why, I mentioned 'wise' here. And the point "we look for news about them" - note, not gossips! Because, wise men might criticize, but they do not intend to pick a fight with you. Its just about the freedom of speech. Anyone can talk out or comment what he/she feels.. If a celebrity is gonna take it too personal, then there is an little extra mile that needs to be travelled beyond this pessimistic line for you to get optimistic and define things to yourself. But it, end of the day, is upto you, if being a celebrity you want to care about that or not!

Going an extra line about it, being in limelight also means being open to the world, open to the fact that a lot of people can know/see/talk about you. there definitely is a better word to describe this whole fact than saying 'Public Property'. Think that the person who commented so probably did not have a good English :P

Above all, nobody can stop you from being your'self' and so you still can live life in your own terms. Spread your wings and fly more heights! Have fun :)
