Sometimes..

Mostly I hate my brother's choice of music!Yet when he was playng LP so aloud even the Kumbh karan within me had no choice of ignorng the music..and these words just stuck in the head..

Sometimes solutions arent so simple

Sometimes goodbye's the only way!

Maybe a simple thought but would take a mighty strong heart to gooble down this reality and move on...

And for no real reason I had interpreted the words as ...

Sometimes beginnings are so simple..sometimes goodbye's the only way

...Stupid and weird yet thats another version by PPB ...Sayonara!! :)

Spellbound..!

Three little angels cast a spell on me and what at weekend it turned out to be!

I was about to enter the blgd premises and my darlings Ayaan n vaido were at the balcony. I just couldnt wait to meet them,called and rushed to get home.By then Ayaan had climbed down a floor and jumped to gimme a hug...was some grand welcome:) :) ,bas all the bad mood was wiped off in a instant!

And the bad mood wasnt jus another thng ,I was really upset,wasnt myself for a while ;so a real strong antidote was needed to lift my dead spirits.Guess I was in perfect company ..with my niece and nephews :)

Vaidehi a.k.a. Kisses ,I was waiting to spent some time with her fr a lonng time,we played funni sweet games..dressed her like a doll,and she calling out her "Piya Ma..va..chi" often ..afterrr sooo long ,ahaa some pretty moments those were!

This kiddo knows when she wants to entertain all her fawning fans :) so when she got tired of posing for me..she was like "Aata bass"..lolzz!!

While this pretty princess had her own charming ways to keep me occupied,Aayaan the tiny dynamo ensure I was on my toes throughout..we had to shoot some imaginary enemies,box and wrestle, football..cricket ..just about eveything.

The only time they completely ignored me was when they went for their horse cart rides!

So did I get bored then..nopes! My smiling Buddha Ishaan ,just knew how to steal all the attention anywhere ,anytime.

This almost 5 month old just doest wanna accept he's a lil' young to talk,sit upright,or walk.So what does someone like me who's absolutely floored by him do??

I talk or rather make weird funni sounds,maybe it makes sense in his baby language, lol as he lolzz even louder..basically anythng to keep dat smile from fading..:)

Smiles so pretty,pure joy,zero pretense, they find happiness in the simplest of things...,they need reasons to smile..now that is what is lyfe!

I wish there was some spl bank where I could save these treasures, the love and happiness showered on moi..would be soo soo wonderful..

Anywazz darlings love yaa..and hope we ve get on with our masti often and trouble your moms harder..!

By the way Mommies of my angels rock..hats off to you Big Sis..s

I wonder how many times I have spoken, planned for randomly heading off to some place, soak in the beauty around me, ,roam around or just be a spectator to some unknown way of life in some land somewhere. No fixed plans,just do what you feel like .

But this time I was just gonna act upon it..I was set for complete madness...Yuhuuu!!

Armed with just a backpack full of bare essentials and a tourist's roadmap the random journey started.The destination(s) was unknown;so when it came to looping in all our friends,(no guesses required, is'nt it?)just about everyone refused. So it was just two of us, me and Sam ,my partner in crime..and probably this added to the fun all the more :D

Our rules were very simple,

1. Budget travel..so we boarded only State Transport /Asiad buses buses ..and trust me we werent disappointed by this at all.. :)

2. Whichever bus picks us first ,we board it and hit that place!(...it really aint dat bad..at all..)

That was all we knew of what we were gonna be upto for those 3 days..!

The only moment when I probably wondered if we had got it all wrong was on Day 1of our journey @ 5:30 a.m. ..we had just landed in Devgad ,a small village in the coastal belt of Konkan.

It was pitch dark..the sun was yet to bbring in its shine and our company was some of the bus depot staff .I only manged to ask them was fr a restroom..(lolzz..just didnt knw wat to ask fr..).The empty Bus stand, Us ,and a couple of donkeys, wasnt it just perfect?? !

We stood there staring at the time table fr 5 mins..no words said..and suddenly we burst out laughing..We were alrite..All wud be well..:)

At the end of day 3 we had manged Mumbai-Pune-Devgad-Kunkeshwar-devgad-nandgaon-tivare-Kolhapur-Panhala-kohapur-Mumbai.......

Loved every bit of being a fOOtLoOse!!

Would recommend it to just about everyone, anyone.....Atleast once in a lifetime aisa karneko mangata !!!

The season finale

How long was the wait..!

Finally I was set for th e interview for the course I was really interested in and it happened to be the final stage of this process!And it surely happened

The stage was set with me as the "Bakra",and 3 other veterans all set to prove that I was nothing but a fool! ..

A lady who could win a stare game universal championship and yet continue to stare..so we jus call her stare lady..

Then there was a man..hardly gentle..yawned literally in my face..it was almost a hippo yawn, e.. so dats our Hippo Man seated to my right ;there was nooo way I could appreciate the honour bestowed upon me...

And the almost normal of the lot a pony tailed uncle ;so we were all happily seated....na jus seated at the coffee table in the corner of a quiet a big room.Like I needed all that proximity to the stare lady n the hippo man.. :X

The Stare..er wanted to know why am changing my field of wrk..I tried to give a sincere answer..nt one was interested!!

the hiipo man next got interested in GPRS ..and I goofed it up bigg time with GPS gyann.. grrr I flaunted my foolishness verry well.. :)...Bt wen i finally said i dont the technicalities of gprs(assumng i was still talkng abt gps..) Hippo man happy..!!

Then some random questions about my ideas abt enterprise..where came in the mention of my village..this was gonna screw my life later ..!!

While I was talkng abt my village and the possible innovations ,the stare lady was staringg real hard..head to toe(it was verry creepy) so to find better audience to my ideas I looked the othr way..only to find th e hippo man yawning..rubbing his face ,setting his hair all at the same time.. :l

Finally after some more showndwns ,there was a rapid fire round..!!

Who is ----,---,----,---- I knew only 2 names,tried to guess some fact!! Stare lady almost pounced on me..yet again..!!

One of the name asked was of the MP of the constituency of myVillage. I am superr proud of myself for gettng this one correct :D..Thanks Paa no way cud I have know the name othrwise .. :)

Finally there was some random announcement..really wish I could have a word with the Director of the institute..My only request to him would be..Please dont spoil the reputation of your awesome Institute..:(

So thus ended the finale, I was at the Koffee table and promise neevr to make fun of Karan Johar..n his Koffee ..atleast the ppl at his table have a gift hamper to look fwd to...I jus came out with a confused look ...!It was as weird as it gets....!!

............................................

Today was like spl in its own way..!the sleepy head me just needed that...good thngs happened ..got awesome news...n my bachas behaved well in the workshop..!!

n then I also met a girl,..she had difficulty filling her own details ,really simple ones,she didnt know her date of birth...

I just didnt now what to say to that,mustered courage to probe further ,and she had a real sad story to tell.To me who keeps talkng abt my bday n bday gifts being sooo.sooo spl to me meko kucch nahi samjha kya bolu..!

Still tried to probe further, understand her story .A difficult childhood she had ,now was striving to make life better...really wish we make it happen !Something I ll alwazz remember is the fact she exactly knew what she wanted to do next ,however small and the thankyou at the end of our talk!

I am really proud of all these grls who are striving hard to make a difference to their lives,their family despite problems I can only imagine..hats off to them!!

Well post all this came the sad part...travel back home the only means ..local trains packed to its capacity...I almost feel manhandled by those ladies..:(

I yes I am compelled to doubt the sensibilities of some of them..Amri are u listening??/ :)

BAck home agan am restless..dunno wat to do....

Well sadly bloggng is an optn wen there arent any available..should make an attempt to improve on this ..!!

Sleepless In Mumbai!!

The clock shows 6:00 am..and am wide awake!! Now this is hardly me..i get freaked out if I have problems with Sleep..its like somethng is seriously wrong with me.And I have being awake for the past 2 hourss...to make it worse I dunnot knw wat the prob is ..if there exists one..!

Maybe I have being just sleeping tooooo much for a while now..sleep quota overdo karr diya :)

Wat i did in the past 2 hours..

TRied to sleep again..(ofcourse Failed :( )

tried to think..kucch bhi nahi socha ..

nxt checked my cell phone..(its like non existant otherwise. :) )

was happy to c that the goa plan finally shaping up!! yippe....this was like too much :D :D

suddenly I remembered the rumour abt the shortlist for the university getting out at 4 a.m tday...n i dats wat brought me here ..to the www in the weee hours..!

no results ..the wait continues...it sucksss big time..ufffff..

Checked gmail..FB..Orkut.....as expected there was nothng to keep me going there..I had logged out jus 3 hrs ago.. :D

Actually googled for crazeee things..like designg clothes..(all malls ka all designers had disappointed me yesterday..big time...So world you may get a really cool designer verry soon.. ;))

checked new books..best sellers...came across this thought.. in the introduction to a book called The Dolphin -Story of a Dreamer by Sergio Bambarain..

"In the journey through life, it is the will of the heart that decides our destiny, for to achieve our goals, we must not only act, but also dream . . . not only plan, but also believe."

I like it..!! I really dont recollect any of school/collgs/mentors talking about the mossst crucial element for success..

We really do miss out on stuff by randomly trying to act practical..running behind the in things.checking for scope in whatever we r interested..Can we just for once pursue our dreams /ideas /thogts sincerely and make them happen by fueling it through ones belief and actions ??

Checked Sam's blog,once again saw Sumeet Ghadge,an young social worker, cool guy..small idea ..bt awesome dedication..salaam Boss!!

And finally reached here.. didn't know what to write about..so just wrote about what I know at this moment.. :)

Well I also did try to come up with some brilliant idea to work on my B-plan...but i guess it has to wait.. :(..

And I also want a superr urgent image makeover..dunno if that is what its called..just that am superrr disappointed with the way people knw me..or I think they know me..not jus any random ppl..bt some who really matter...So surellly this calls fr some remedial help ASAP..!!

n I wanna know my future..now..now..now........................................................................................

.........................................................................Google ..baap here I come..

-Cheers
