Two Stuffs

They call it Heart and Mind

I've been brooding over dis subject for the last gud no. of days... Here it goes what I feel about it... (BTW I dnt claim to be a master on the subject)

Whenever a decision has to be made, whenever we are in doubt, in confusion and we seek for from the self, there are two replies dat we get from two different sources...

• A reply from mind
• A reply from heart

Not necessarily dat they are different... ( had they been always been the same)

But the situation gets more precarious, when the answers are doffernt,conflicting. Dats the moment when one does not know whom to lend his ears which had been serching for sum very intelligent answers

Follow ur mind or ur heart

A person who follows his mind generally reaches a level where he is successful, has the things he requires ( rather what he feels he requires)... ( OK the mind needs to be of better breed though ;) )

On the other hand, a person who follows his heart has felt happiness in his life. His smileis more deep and meaningful and clear and soothing than I guess nethin in the world. But all this comes at a good hefty price... It is this group of people who cry the most, who feel the burnt the heat in their heart when nethin bad happens to them... In his case though the tears first comes from the heart b4 wetting his eyelashes... but he derives all his pleasures from very small things on this earth ... which may be trivial to the whole world but him...

Mind for that matter has always been manipulative....

but can real joy be manipulated.... can the self be manipulated... thr is a limit to the things dat we can manipulate...as I've always u cannot cheat the self ur ego cannot be decieved...

But at the same time whatever mind things or guides u to comes at a relative ease... it follows the proven path... a decision which is acceptable by the society, by the audience (a larger one but wtf if they dnt matter u they matter for the mind) Yes mind listens to them b4 listening to u... a life which I've belived to be a borrowed one... a second-hand life... a second hand happiness....

Heart doesn't give a damn fuck to ne of these stuffs... For the heart wot matters is u and u and u... no other damn thing in the world...

But ne way both hav their share of patrons ...

But the worst sufferer are the those who hav both ... i.e they refer to both of them b4 arriving at a conclusion...

I guess this is the last blog for this year... happy new year

A dream again...

Another dream but quiet interesting and a bit scary as it broke my sleep...
Here it goes I,one of my friend along wid sum other people (dnt remember who :( though ) are in a mission to wipe out sum of the bad people on the earth...

So we really make a fundu plan...

Guess wot ... we take the help of a scorpio...

Let me picture it out in a better way...
It looked quiet healthy ( I mean the scorpio) unlike me and my other friend though very small in size( regular size)
Was brown in colour and looked beautiful...

We generally hide it in sum book or sum other stuff and giv it to the person concerned... and rest as they say 'they are part of history '

We are quiet succesful in our mission as no one is able to catch us...

I dnt remember exactly but sumthing made me try this out on my friend....
I kept it in a book and when he picks up the book he is bitten by the deadly scorpio and its venom was more than sufficient to take his life....

Dis made me really go mad ... and I realised my mistake ... but it was all late ...
I am asked to play cricket match wid my team mate ( hey these guys follow me evrywher into my bedroom also I mean in my sleep also) but I am totally depressed... Neway I play ...

Dat brings the end of the dream atleast to the point I remember...

Neway I am sorry for hurting u my friend even in my dream...

R u still wondering who the ill-omened , poor chap was

He was no one else but 'Brokenshard' aka 'Sunny' aka Late Sunny Saxena (in my dream atleast...)

But the story does not end there ...
I dnt remember exactly whether dis was the continuation of the same dream or I saw it after waking up from the first phase only to be depressed...

But here it goes... (2nd phase of the great dream)
I was so mad at my action dat I took the scorpio and let it bite my fingers... to make me realise whether I cud hav saved him... But after the venom rushes my body I try to pull the venom out of body by my mouth but thanks to the deadly venom I am unsuccessful...

Poor chaps
Thanks it was a dream...

Scorpio and its venom cool ( or deadly)...

It was Mr Sarat once now its Mr Sunny hmmm... interesting

Some crap

Its been a while dat I have written sumthing...
I was busy for sumtime... and then didnt know wot to write...

Its not as if I didn't wnt to write... I just cudnt decide...

Neway thought of writing abt self ... the way I make and decide on friends....

I am an introvert kinda guy...
I am not usually a gud starter... I can't go and talk to ne stranger on the street although I guess many of u can ...
Though I dont mind talking to neone on ne topic on the earth... Its not a problem for me to put forward my opinion... whether the reciever end is a good acceptor or a bad one... But I take care I am not talking abt the offshoring issue wid sumone selling vegetable...

But one thing is sure I cannot force myself to neone...
If there is sumone I like and want to be friend wid bcus I found him\her gud enough I might take the first step ( but this also rarely ) but not the next unless and until I am pretty sure dat the other person concerned wants me to be in his life...

Its his\her personal life I can't force myself into it... Many a times I have got sum bitter scolding from my friends for not taking the next step...
But I am still not comfortable in taking the next step...

Before going furthur I wud like to judge whether I hav ne importance in his\her life... I hav tested sum of my friends in dat aspect, although they don't hav the faintest of idea abt dat...

Had they failed in dat test I wudnt hav got closer to them... I wud hav rather gone away from them....
I am an egotist kinda guy... If I dnt feel a sense of importance at a place I wnt be there....

I cant stand at a place where sum1 is constantly ignoring me...

I dnt carry my ego wid me when I am wid the best of my friends... There are very few people on the earth before whom I can bow my head... And I will love to do it for my friends...

As I have said my friends are my weekness... But if they are the one who try to shy away from me then I wnt force my self onto them ... I cant force... rather I will stay away and be punished by not being wid them...

Neway all senti stuffs... I am recently getting very senti about many a things and feeling very lonely for the same...

Neway dnt take dis article as if I am pinpointing sumone and saying it...

Its just dat I wanted to write sumthing and came up wid this crap...

Hey all tc

The saga of my mobile...

In the past 3-4 days I almost lost my mobile twice... once in my shuttle and next on my way to home in an auto... but both the time I found it back thanx to my office mates... both the time I have this Bangalore roads to be blamed ...

The first time it probably fell from my pocket in the bus and I didn't mark it but was found by one of the TL (not of my project though) ... Sh ereturned it to me but was a bit rude... but as they say who cares as I got my mobile back..

The second time it was on the way to home in an auto ... but one of my senior team mate found it ... but not before I had returned back to office... neway hope to collect it from him tomorrow as I have a lot of calls to make....

In the second instance though I had lost all hope and was very depressed ... but I saw a temple on the way to office and prayed there ... Thank you GOD is all dat I can say ...

Neway my mobile is very dear to me thanx to all the memories attached to it.... I will not replace the same at any cost ... how can I forget all teh marathon talks all the SMS series all the fights that this mobile had been a part of...

Its nothing very funky or costly or wid ne latest multimedia facility as in todays market it costs sumwhere around Rs. 2500.00 and has lost all its colour...

As they say 'A tragedy has been averted'

But it has wot no other mobile in this world has... No other mobile ... I mean it

Thanks.......

Fountainhead

Of late I have been reading sum books…
This is the last book that I have completed. I came to know about this book thru one of my friend… So thought of buying it… The book is some 700 odd pages quiet a thick book and written in the smallest possible letter

But I bought the book thanks to all the good reviews that I had come across…

The book is by Ayn Rand…
And is one of the best book that I have ever come across…
Generally I tend to forget the characters of the book by the time I finish the book… But this book has made an exception… (Howard Roark, Domnique Francon, Elsworth Toohey, Peter Kating, Gail Wynand all characters) ….

But u must be still wondering wot this book is all about…

This book is a philosophical masterpiece written in 1946 but one wud never find it alien to the present 21st Century….

The book hails Individualism and criticizes Collectivism…
Surprised… Might be …

This book gives us an insight into how powerful a man’s ego can be and how it can serve him … how a man of ego fights his battle … the power to be not affected by nething in this world… nething other than ur ego… the power to judge urself casue one can never lie to self … to the world one may present himself with a mask but when it comes to the self u cannot deceive one’s self.

We all the time are surrounded by a layer of pseudo ego but this book envisages what ego is actually all about… I wont give a detailed insight into the deep philosophy behind the main character because to understand it one needs to read the complete book…

This book cannot be a must read for all because there is nothing ‘mirch masala’ in this story… so the only thing that can bind you till the end is the philosophy and the book is all about it..

I generally love those books or movies where I can put myself into the shoes of the protagonist… This book had that…

And apart from the underlying philosophy there is also a love story in the novel…I hadn’t cum across a love story more passionate and more energetic than this one ( no mirch masala, as I said earlier)…

Ya for many of you philosophy might be a bore , but I hav always loved philosophy and emotion… so who cares…

I am at my hometown…
Its almost after 4 and half months dat I am back at this beautiful city…
The train was late by 16 hrs thanks to the downpour in South India…
The first few days was dedicated to all my friends… My greatest asset…
It was gud to be back to spend some time with them…

But the moment I reached Bhubaneswar, and I passed thru all those places that I had been with my friends, I got very weak, emotionally very weak… I cud not gather ne strength to have my eyes on those places where we used to hangout…. Before I arrived Bhubaneswar, I had planned like I wud be visiting all those places… but never knew that those place wud make me so weak and depressed… Many a time I feel like crying…
But I have made it a point to not to visit the places unless and until its necessary and urgent…
Yes I know I am escaping and running away but cant help it…

The place has been hunting like nething… Its making me restless and forces me to think of the future that lies ahead… more lonely and at the same time more scary…

Not only the places even my computer is scary now…
All those project folders and things of those sort… I just cant go into them and have a look at them…
My college days had always been the best days of my life… Never knew it wud tax me in the days to come…
I just want to go back to Bangalore, yes to that hell of a place rather than staying here and falling prey to all those memories….

Don’t know whether I wud be able to gather ne strength to come back to this place…

I miss u………………………………………… Miss u a lot ......

Hey y cant we all stay together… Y union is always followed by a separation… why why why

May be this is what they call life but why why why… I hate life if this is what it is called

Got into project…. :-)

Yeah a thing to cheer about though sum of my exp. Friends wont agree with it.
Neway brokenshard wud now be running a point short with to tease me ;)

Neway received a mail from my PM regarding the project and today I had a meeting with the TL (team lead). It was very casual kind of thing and we just introduced ourselves.
Dats it and from tomorrow I am into work.

The project is for Thomas Cook and is a maintenance one. I have to report tomorrow at 9.30. A bit excited and nervous at the same time.

Lets see how it works out.

Dats it for now.

Wishes are not always granted

Ya u always cant make plans and wish them to fructify…

The plans can be like going to a movie,going to eat somewhere, going to some place to visit… or nething…

In this world there are so many things linked to each other dat if you try to pull 1 string in one direction the others try to resist it… Sometime u have to relax ur end fearing that u might unsettle the system…

There have been many instances with me when I’ve taken a decision but couldn’t act upon them because others didn’t like it… Yes the others are also influenced or are part of my decision… but most of the time I have to cancel my plans…

I’ve never been convincing enough and I can never force my decisions on other…
To be very frank I am most of the time really hurt… but I know its their decision and I cannot force them to act just according to my plans my selfish plans… They have their own set of troubles and compulsions and I don’t feel like complaining… and have to accept their decisions…
Many a time they have their own plans and one cant expect the other to change their plans just because of ur own selfish reasons…

But…… it hurts and I feel depressed and don’t know whom to complain... whom to approach….

Most of the time it stands cancelled…
I get so upset over this cancellation that many a time I decide not to make ne plan…
Just oblige to what others have planned it
And I have been following dat principle… and am happy enough to attend to the plans made by other persons…

But still out of the blue there comes a time and a feeling that you should do this or dat…
But again it stands cancelled…

Ya I am disturbed because just now I made a plan and have to cancel it because others have sumthing different in their mind…
Neway wishes are not always granted and I am trying to insulate myself from all these…

But cant wishes be always granted…

I know I am being crazy complaining over this trivial issue but thought that I can turn to my blog and feel a bit lighter..

my new house

Finally we gave the owner the advance... we also shifted yesterday... All this only after waiting for the owner for say 2 hrs... whenever we called he said dat he will reach in 15 mins… Still need to check which company’s watch is he wearing……. Or is he wearing it or not…

Neway we shifted… though I didn’t want to shift… don’t know why but didn’t feel like… I didn’t like the owner’s attitude at all… But finally I succumbed to my friends wishes… Hey my network doesn’t follow me there… Though I found a lot of dogs there all barking and fighting but guess the right one didn’t reach ( remember the Hutch ad and the cute dog in it…) That’s an issue for me…

Another issue…
Since ours is a brand new house… even the tank is not installed… but will be done today only… The owner provided us with a drum… But we had a hell lot of problem while finishing the morning chores today because we don’t have a bucket.

Neway I am at my office and hope evry thing get sorted out today itself…

But my house is just behind a multiplex... though I am not a movie buff... still its a thing to cheer about...

A day at Office

A day at Office…

No boss... no coding woding as of now…

I generally reach the office on time and this is my schedule…

9.00 at my workstation and checking my mails…

9.50 Finished reading all my mails mainly forwards or say only forwards save some occasional mail from my friend at Bhubaneswar. Thanks Suvra… But I seldom reply him back… Y to bore someone wid my boring stories……

10.05 At the cafeteria I am wid my Bada and Sambhar… These are really gud… I regularly hav them and still not thought abt a change…

10.20 At my workstation again wondering wot to do…

10.30 Finished going thru all my business news…. This is my fav part of d newspaper…

11.00 Finished my analysis of stock market for my game..

12.55 Off for canteen for my meal…. Ya its all spicy here but do u hav a option save the hotels outside the campus… Who cares to walk n go for a meal …

1.30 At my chair again…

2.30 Registered for my online course of the day..

5.30 After all those breaks and in between chat wid my online frnds completed the course…. And calculated all my profits and loss in my game….

6.00 At my bus n off to my home..


It was simple wasn’t it….

But missed one thing bored (time: every half an hour)

But its damn bore.......

House Hunt

Running out of topics to blog…

Nothing interesting happening…..
Life is boring out here… Performnig the same mundane jobs everyday….
Coming to my workplace to sit idle on my chair (mind it … its not a bench)…

But one stupid game really keeps me busy through out the day… It’s a stock market simulation. Apart from dat am really bored…

Yesterday, had a job on hand in the evening… We had to pay the owner 30000 advance for our house… I withdrew 15000 from my ATM but my frnds at iGate were kept busy at their office thanks to the stupidity of one of them…

Neway.. I reached the location only to find the owner missing… He had been to his home… It was entirely our fault cause we reached late… We called him up and thankfully he agreed… But I had to wait for my frnds for 45 mins… followed by another 30 mins for another friend… the stupid owner then gave a missed call… Only when we called him up he informed us dat he won’t be able to come today … and can meet us only tomorrow… All these had made me really angry but I remained cool and walked up to the busstop keeping my mouth shut… I was terribly disturbed cause I wanted to shift yesterday only…
Just wanted to sit near someone very close just talking other other than this stupid event…

I was really tired… had a backache and didn’t feel like having nefood…

Dat was really a horrible evening…
Hope to book the house today and shift today only…

Bye tc

Railway Tracks and Relationships….

Think about the two most prominent words in this heading… Yes “Railway Tracks” and “Relationships”… Can you relate them? No?
Then read the following…

Did u ever find out wots the distance between the tracks?
Its 143.5 cms or 4 feet 8-1/2 inches apart… Surprised… Yes the number is dat odd… The railway tracks that we use today are that far apart… Guessing y this uneven number…

It’s not because of the wheels which are that far apart. But the wheels are that far apart thanks to the distance between the tracks…

The real answer is – “When they built the first train carriages, they used the same tools as they had for building horse- driven carriages. And why the distance between the wheels of the carriage? Because that was what the width of roads in those days used to be. But who decided for the width of the road. Here we are thrown deep into the past. The Romans, they had decided that. Because during those days, when u place the horses of the war-chariots side by side they were 143.5 cms apart….”

“When people went to the US they didn’t bother to change and they started building Railways… This even affected the building of space shuttles. American engineer thought tanks should be wider, but the tanks were built in Utah and had to be transported to the Space Center in Florida and the tunnels couldn’t take nething wider. And so they had to accept wot the Roman had decided.”

I found this answer from Zahir…

So we are using what the Romans decided. We did not feel like changing it… changing it to our convenience… This is a classic example of “ Because they said it”.

The authors goes on to add that , our marriage is similar to this story…

“In your marriage you move side by side your partner, keeping always the same distance apart. Even if someone of you wants to change the distance, you can’t change, you can’t cum closer or move further as you like. It will be too dangerous for your child. You have to maintain that 143.5 cms, the same distance, after some initial years of your marriage. If you are not happy think of ur children that you brought to this world. Think of them, it wud be dangerous for them…
You have to always be happy maintaining that distance. You need to smile in the photos, you need to watch TV, need to do community work, because your neighbour is watching you. These are all established rules, don’t change them, You shouldn’t and the reason being –“they decided it “. "

That was wot the author had to say.

The author feels that we should break the saddles and not follow wot the Romans decided. We need to be really happy and should not seem to be happy… We cannot follow lead our life on the rules that has been decided by someone else.
Take your time and think over it…

My opinion

I don’t approve of wot the author had to say. Yes the Americans were foolish, to follow the Romans. But about life. This life is not completely urs. Many lives are linked to it. If not their life in complete, yes, u affect them, more than often.
So had it been ur only life u can do nething wid it, who cares neway… But a hell lot of people are dependent on u.

The work of the tracks is not to run along maintaing that stupid distance between them. The job is to help the train complete its journey safely and gaily. It has to fulfill its job for which it has been laid

And the track will be more than happy to do that. And any parent or any person will be more than happy if he/she completes his job and make their loved ones reach their goal.
Yes I wud love the tracks of life to be closer and touching but not for the loss of my carriage. I love my carriage more than I hate my distance, and maintaining a distance cannot harm me more than derailing my train.

Bye

The funny furniture...

Training is over and am relaxing…
Yes u guys can simply call it- “Sunil is on bench…”
Yeah dat sort of thing… I am on that funny furniture… I am still guessing who coined this very famous or say infamous jargon –“BENCH”… They should have rather called it “in waiting room” or “In the queue” or “in the pipeline” or some other crap… But bench…

Neway they have provided me a really comfortable seat to sit on carry my all useless work of browsing the net and all those stuffs… I mean they have provided me with a good seat – hey dats also ergonomically certified… So I am not on bench… rather on some chair…

So don’t call it bench or you can, as if I care…

It was cool being assigned my workstation but I am sitting there all alone, they are a hell lot of people working around me on some Seibel project… they have an issue to handle and have been regularly calling up the onsite guys( no she is a she, Mitchell…;- ))… and I can only watch… Me really getting scared and excited at the same time. It will be a gr8 experience I guess with so many things to do…

I am really feeling scared not knowing wot to do. Still guessing wot will I be working on...

Ne way the moral of the story is dat I am relaxing but not njoying much…

Those busy days

A tiring schedule…
Ya I was quiet busy in the last few days… few means last 6 days, save yesterday.
I was working on my STM( ATM simulation). Thanks to this last part of my training I’d to work till 8.30 in the night and my works starts at 9.30 and usually I reach at 10.
But I return home at around 10.30 usually.

Neway I had to work really hard including Sundays and Saturdays. So no fun during those days except some dinner with my friends...

But that part ended. Don’t know whether I can say it smoothly. We had many arguments with each other and it generally involved me and another guy from Mumbai. Neway it was all for the group…

Hey our group of 5, we called them Ferracutes (a giant with the strength of 40 mens).

We two guys were mostly involved in coding. And the other guys were involved in other chores. We had a really good PM who was really cool and new his job very well.

And with the end of the project, we had to give a presentation before a senior manager. Frankly this part was not satisfactory, cause we ran out of time.

Neway 1 thing to learn from this whole process.
U are not necessarily always correct, so be prepared to be corrected and don’t let ur ego cum in between.

That’s it

A …. Day

Fill up the blank urself after reading the blog. I dnt kow wot to call it…

My day started normally… Dat means I was late again…
The day started with a broken Jam Bottle. I broke it while I was opening the Almirah…
Bang…

I managed to reach office an hour late… No probs… cause we had to work on the
Use-Case Diagram and sum presentations… for our project(ATM simulator)…
It was all fine. I handled my ppt well…

In the evening I was planning to work late to complete some work regarding the next day’s work. But couldn’t as I had to hurry to receive my frnds from Station and buy a
book for my frnd.

I bought the book and 1 for myself also(The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand)
We booked a prepaid taxi and reached our place… a cool >45 mins journey thanks to the famous traffic jam of Bangalore.

Still guessing wots so gr8 abt this day….

I lost my books … the new books at the Railway Station… Both the newly bought books…
I guess I left it at the ticket counter while I was busy buying the tickets and carrying my friend’s luggage. A cool loss of Rs.610.
If that wasn’t enough I returned to the station to search my book. A classic example of hope against hope…. ;) That adds my loss to Rs.710.

And hold on…

We had a minor accident… A bus hit our Auto… not exactly hit…. Ya it was a hit … it hit us by our side… That is… it squeezed us against the rode divider… No damages done…
But the face of my friend Sarat was worth seeing… He was scared like anything…

I couldn’t control my laugh… But after finding out how serious he was, I had to keep quiet…. Poor chap… his face was worth seeing...

Ne way that was a cool day….

It marks an end to a marathon of 10 days without any rest….
Ya 10 days no rest… n last 4 days returning to my PG at around 11…
Man I have a lot of stamina…..

Got to log off…
Need to take rest today n next 2 days no work…. :)

Jakksandra to Shivaji Nagar.

Today morning thanks to my habit of starting late… got a bit late to my work…
But thankfully, I found my bus, I mean the BMTC bus… I am still alien to the numbers and the cryptic writing following it on these buses, so always have to ask the conductor or the driver… But today the first bus I enquired abt was the correct one….

I took a bus to Shivaji Nagar… bus no 296…

The journey…

The journey in BMTC bus is one dats a pain by ne measure during these time…
The journey was of around of 45 mins…
As the bus started its journey, I found people pouring into it and rarely ne1 moving out… Didn’t these people get into the bus to get down somewhere… Neway the bus was getting more crowded with each stoppage… and me getting squeezed in the process… They sud have taken care of this thin, slim mortal who didn’t have his breakfast…

Some imp. Lessons from this journey….
Get early to the stoppage so dat u find a seat and don’t have to stand and get squeezed through out the journey.
If you don’t find a seat then don’t lift ur feet at ne moment cause u wont find a place again to rest it… believe me traveling single legged in a crowded bus is a punishment…
If possible avoid the bus during these times…

Other normal stuff u sud know it…

Finally I got down but have to take d same journey twice daily for ten more days… huh…

Sanja Chula

During my training days at Almaz Software Solutions I had been having my lunch at a place called “Sanja Chula”… It’s a decent place and most importantly caters to North Indian foods in special… So no sambhar and chutney there… The cost of food is OK… considering that we are in Bangalore and more importantly “Sodexho” These people accept Sodexho coupon….

Considering that most of the time I am having my lunch all alone I prefer to have Biryani (this suits my purse also…) Moreover to order a full fledged meal with chappati and curries u need to be in a group or with a heavy pocket….

The owner is a lady and we call her Aunty…. I had been to this place so often that the waiter there recognizes me and atleast welcomes me with a smile…

Waiter hmmm... the waiters here are the most interesting part of my story… Though the Aunty here is a North Indian and she even speaks Punjabi quiet fluently, all the waiter here are from North East I guess… even the Cooks are from N-East… But that is not sumthing interesting… The waiter’s dressing sense is something that I am talking about…. These guys though in white shirt most of the time, sport some modern hair-style… guess Aunty is paying them a gud hair stylist allowance… And to add to that most of the time they hav sum gud modern dressing sense. One can find them wearing sum modern outfits most of the time like low waist jeans and etc…

Neway wot matters to me is the food there is quiet good though served quiet late…

Training over....

The training is over...

My STM (simulated training module or whatever they call it…) is going to start from tomorrow at Bang-1… Bang-1/2/3/4 is wot they call my dcs at Bangalore…

We are almost taken into a tour of Bang… First we were posted at south Bang then East Bang and now they came up with the west part…(now Don’t think of North Bang… They don’t hav a dc out there…) But Bang-1 is at Cunningham Road and dats closer to MG Road and Commercial street, a gud place to hang out… Moreover IDC chief Mr Chet Kamat sits here. So a nice place to be at… but a smaller one…

Our training gets over today…. It was really a tiring stuff…. My training was on .NET and I was working on MS technology for the first time. So initially all those stuffs like .dll, COM, DCOM, ActiveX had scared me like nething… But the training was a learning exp. As we focused mainly on C# which was more or less like JAVA ( coding wise)… So the initial fear had been taken care of.

My trainer was not so gud, rather bad… So had to do a lot of self study to compensate for the loss… Even thanks to the so called tech-support guys here we had a SQL Server installation problem which wasted our 1Day… Ne way I don’t complain for any leisure ;) and my fight with the young and beautiful(may be...) receptionist....

Ne way training got over but I need to cover sum imp. areas like ASP.NET and remoting .. Ya self study again….

Neway with the end of the training I can atleast add a new thing to my CV – worked on .NET(C#)…

That’s an achievement.

A new location

Dumped to a new location…

We have been moved to an out location( a third party location).
Our previous location at Bang-4(that’s wot they call my office at Accenture) had been a better place.
Accenture has been hiring so many fresher lately that its in-house resources are falling short. So, they are dumping us in some other places. If I am correct, they are hiring in huge numbers. And their figure can come closer to that of Infy or Wipro if not TCS.

Thanks to this rapid recruitment I’m here and using free internet and being paid a good salary despite ...

So, I have nothing to complain…

Ok about my new training facility…

It’s a new facility at Domalur and about 6 km from Jakksandra (my place). And we have to make our own arrangement cause the company shuttle doesnot come here. No complains actually cause every month we get Rs. 800 as conveyance allowance.

But we don’t have a canteen here… N we have to walk a distance for our daily lunch here. There is a North Indian restaurant nearby and the food is descent out there. Moreover they do accept Sodexho coupon there(My primary reason for going there). Had they not been accepting the Sodexho Coupon, it would have hurt my purse badly. Paying by cash always hurts.

Moreover we are being provided net here 2 hours per day. :( Is dis sufficient… Never, I don’t know how can we manage to learn .NET without NET.

All fine by the way. Having fun whenever I find time.

Visited sum good markets here... like the MG Road, Commercial Street and Brigade Road...

More about this in my next blog....

First salary…

Hey I got my first salary on 30th. Before I had received it, I was very excited about that and was continuously checking my account online for that matter.

I got my salary credited to my account at around 4 p.m and it was Rs. 24,525.
The main thing now was wot to do wid my first salary. I’d no idea. I wanted to be wid my friends, my family and wanted to host a party, buy gifts and blah, blah, blah…
I’d planned it all, I will do this, I will do that…. But… now didn’t know where to start.
Though I’ve some of my very dear friends in Bangalore but the circle is still not complete. I wanted all to be with me atleast for today, so that I can share my joy with them. Just have masti, fun and everything sponsored by me. Yes I wanted to be with my family, all my very dear friends and no one else.

I talked to my parents and my sisters and some of my friends who don’t stay wid me in Bangalore. All my friends wanted party, and I also wanted to throw one but alas…
U always don’t get what you want.

I’d withdrawn Rs.600.00 because my Mom asked me to do so and kept it in my suitcase.

In the evening I went to a temple, for the first time in Bangalore. The temple
is a small one near to my PG. It was a bit relaxing.

Such a great day had passed with no real fun. With no real fun, no masti, nothing…

MISS U ALL.....

Yeah ....

Its a great day for me...
I got my first salary or a salary sort of thing.
If u all are still guessing if I got my complete salary.
Then hold on folks ... still got 3 more days to go for dat thing.

Actually today I got my food coupons "Sodexho Food Coupons" worth Rs. 2000.00.

Its a great feeling. I just can't express my feelings.
Its like "meri khoon pasine ki kamai"... We can use dis food coupons in many places for food and beverages. So I'll be able to have my lunch today with my money. I repeat my self earned money. My money. The money I earned...
Its such a great feeling.

I just cant wait for the day when I'll get my complete salary. Huh... it would be great. Just can't imagine how will be dat day. And to add to dat day its a Sunday. So I can go for shopping.
But frankly don't know what to buy, where to buy.
Just feel like going to Bhubaneswar... be wid my family..... be wid my friends.... and spend my salary... Just cant spend my first salary according to my likings...

But will eagerly wait for my salary, the day when I can buy sumthing for all my family,my gud frnds...
Patience Sunil patience...
Just relax.

No post for a long time...

Just been assigned to .NET.
Hey guys have no idea wots it like, but no complain...
No complain.... As said by sum JackAss from Satyam "thr are sumthing u cant chose in life".
( I guess no Satyamite reading this...)

Moreover nothing to complain about sumthing whch lies outside ur circle of influence.
Dis 1 is from Stephen Covey... n I like dis habit of his very much…

Our class was assigned to a lady ( she was outsourced from sumwhr ).
She had a very gud exp. But she sounded a school teacher d first day. I mean very strict.
Of the many rules she imposed sum r like...
U hav to switch off ur mobile( I said switch off not in silent mode)
Come to class dot on time....

Nething u do against her rule turns out to be a fine of Rs 100.00 ( they sud check my purse...)

And she gave an example dat student in earlier batch use to work late till 4 a.m (its a.m... man is it late or early) and they came back next morning fresh at 8 a.m.
Ya she said fresh... n dis made me ask her ‘FRESH’ but she replied abck 'fresh'.
Ne way it doesn’t matter to her she can give asgnment and flee at 6 in d evening.

She then started wid her class...
Man it was all Greek to me... stuffs like COM,OLE, DCOM and much more to make it more compicated…

But u cant complain and need to work on it.

The whole day we had training n she didnt give us a break until it was lunch hour.
May be she felt hungry…
Dat means 3 hrs continuously.

But got the news dat she was the best.

The next three days....

We had no training, ya no training....
The teacher who was supposed to take our training felt sick and she was to be replaced my someone.
I guess the someone has also vanished into the thin air and they are luking for the third one.
It may sound fun for many when the training abruptly stops but they are going to piss u off in days to come. Like no week ends... only training and training and training...


Lets see how d days from tomorrow turns out to be.

Hey I am into S/W industry at last n just facing the music….

Channa Vey

This is one of my fav song....
I mainly like its music n recently I found its lyrics wid its meaning
Here it is....


Channa ve ghar aa ja ve (Channa - my lover-who resembles the moon)
Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve(Dhola--one who is white and handsome)
Teriyan udikaan vich muk challe saah(I've been waiting for U for so long that my breath is nearly failing)
Aaja, takdi de rog muka ja ve(Please come and end the heartache of one who is looking-out for U)
Channa ve ghar aa ja ve
Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve
Aavega jad soniyan mahiyaan(When U come, my handsome lover)
Mereya sajna dhol sipahiya(My beloved, my white and handsome soldier)
Rakh laangi tennu seene la ke(I'll keep U close to my heart)
Tere baajon jind kamlaiyan(Without U my life is absolutely crazy)
Channa ve ghar
Dhola ve ghar
Channa ve ghar aa ja veDhola ve ghar aa ja ve
Teriyan udikaan vich muk challe saah Aaja takdi de rog muka ja ve
Channa ve ghar aa ja ve
Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve
Jaandi nai akhiyaan choN laali(The redness of my eyes does not go)
Dil dariya vi lagda hai khali(The sea of my heart also appears barren)
Khushiyaan vedhe tukhdiyaan naahi(Happiness does not appear appropriate in my house's verandah)
Hove na jad dil da vaali(If my heart's possessor is not present)
Channa ve ghar Dhola ve ghar
Channa ve ghar aa ja ve
Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve
Teriyan udikaan vich muk challe saah
Takdi de rog muka ja ve
Channa ve ghar aa ja ve
Dhola ve ghar aa ja ve

Accenture underline......

Yes dis is wot was told to me by my friends mom.Accenture underline is an add and it means when u r wid Accenture nothing else matters.( A adv where just the name of Accenture appears with a underline)

So my corporate life has started wid Accenture.The first three days it has matched my expectation. I know they are going to kick my ass in the days to follow but....

I may not be able to write gud things then so dnt wanna miss the oppurtunity ;)

The first two days we had the induction prog.It was presentation through out. ppt ppt ppt...man it was 16 hours of presentation..... But the best part of the induction was we were gifted a Hutch Postpaid Sim and the offer could make any one feel jealous of us.We completed all the formalities. I have been assigned to Bang4 campus. Its situated near the Sarajpur road. Its a brand new campus and we inaugrated the trianing facility here :).It was told to us dat this wud be a completely IDC facility. The construction work is in progress and to me it will be a huge campus when the whole project gets over.Next to us is the Intel campus. Its a beautiful and a sweet campus. Dont stress on the word 'sweet' u cant understand it.I have a different taste.

Our room is a small one with 20 comps. They are Dell comps 2.99 GHz,17 inch monitor, 40 GB, 512MB Ram and the net is fast as if I am accessing my local resources.All our issues are addressed immediately. The cafetaria food is also gud.

The first few days I found myself out of place. U know the college life... and the corporate life.Now I am getting used to the fast life here and all the discipline and staying chupchap.Miss all my friends here and frankly no one can replace my old friends...I miss u all...

The technical training has started and it was SDLC.... The trainer was far better than Samarseh Das...
Then we had the C classes. Ok... dat lady is far too slow. And the situation here was atleast similar to wot we have in our class.Yes... all those sleeping in the class and khatti widout wasting time after u have completed ur work.

Ok dis much for today the trainer may arrive any time.Bye

Bye.....

I will be leaving Bhubaneswar tomorrow. Am getting highly nostalgic for the last few days. I have been staying in this city for the last 16 years. Have been very emotionally attached to this place. Have deep memories about this place. I have spent my best days here. And tomorrow I will be bidding goodbye.

I know I will be visiting this place quiet frequently (is frequently the right word, don’t know!!!). More importantly I will be living all alone. My Mummy wont be there with me to take care of me. Hey don’t know how will I manage my life. A lot scared…

I was always excited about living all alone in a mess, all alone, with friends, having fun. But now I don’t want to leave this place.

This is my last post from Bhuaneswar.
So goodbye Bhubaneswar and all my dear friends.
Wish u luck.
Take care

Had been to my village…
It had been 2 years since I last visited the place.

First why so late…
I have no friends there though I like the place. But it’s still lonely.
N my relatives from village visit Bhubaneswar regularly. So….

My village’s name is Khandashi, near Nischintakoili and Salepur (ya the famous rasgulla). About 60 kms from Bhubaneswar.
It’s a really great place mainly because of the greenery all around.
One cannot see his neighbor in many a cases. Its so dense. And if you are thinking it to be part of any forest then you better correct yourself.
My badabapa and badabou stay there and they are very old, say the senior most member of our family.
I went to visit them just to bid goodbye.

Though I had a very busy day in my college (hope I can still say it mine after taking CLC) but I still managed to conserve some energy to travel.
It was a bus journey alongwith my cousin.
By the time we reached Cuttack it was drizzling. We couldn’t managed to find a sit in the bus on our way to my vill. from Cuttack ( a 1 hr journey standing).
I reached Nischintakoili which is a crowded market place and with such a bad road to its credit and thank to rain the place was very muddy.
I couldn’t manage to find a decent hotel to buy sweets but any how bought some from a roadside hotel. I also bought some bada as my badabou likes it.
I bought some pakoda for myself so dat I cud eat them during my journey to home in a rickshaw.
I was in a rickshaw after a long time. Though the road was bumpy I loved the journey as it was slow and a cool breeze flowing with some rains and obviously pakoda in my hand. Hey a girl friend beside me wud have been better ;) . Forget it… bad luck.

The scenery (without the regular hill and rising sun as in our nursery drawing book) all around was so great one cannot express it. Fields all around (not harabhara thanks to the late monsoon). Had they been green it wud have been better. With the rain arriving things wud be greener, I guess.

Ok I reached my house not before I’ve ate all my pakoda. I was a completely exhausted and after chatting with them I found myself on my bed.
Wow… I slept for 2 hrs today. Believe me I was completely exhausted. Had my dinner and again in my bed. It was raining through out the night.

The next morning at around 10 I left for Bhubanswar and didn’t visit other people in my village simply because I didn’t want to. And a cousin of mine who is younger to me got to me busstand in a buscycle ya … in the same road. And I hope u have guessed it rite… it was painful.
And my visit to my village ended.
Not very sure when will I be visiting it the next time. But I guess not very soon
Dats for it now.

This is a story which I found in another blog and it touched me…
So I decided to post it here…

This is a story of Sahil, a software engg. working for a leading company.

After 21 years of marriage, Sahil discovered a new way of keeping alive the spark of love. A little while ago he had started to go out with another woman. It was really his wife's idea.

"I know that you love her," she said one day, taking him by surprise."But I love YOU," he protested. "I know, but you also love her." The other woman that his wife wanted me to visit was his mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of his work and his three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.That night he called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. His mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.

"I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," Sahil responded. " Just the two of us." She thought about it for a moment then said "I would like that very much." That Friday after work, as he drove over to pick her up he was a bit nervous. When he arrived at her house, he noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about their date. She waited in the door with her coat on.

She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting". They went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. His mother took his arm as if she were the First Lady. After they sat down, he had to read the menu to her.Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entree, he lifted his eyes and saw his Mom sitting there staring at him.
A nostalgic smile was on her lips. "It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.

"Then it's time for you to relax and let me return the favor," Sahil responded.

During the dinner they had an agreeable conversation, nothing extraordinary - but catching up on recent events of each others lives. They talked so much that they missed the movie. As they arrived at her house later,she said "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you". Sahil agreed.

"How was your dinner date?" asked his wife when he got home. "Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," he answered.

A few days later his mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that he didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later he received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place the mother and he had dined.

An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I was almost sure that I couldn't be there but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant to me. I love you."

At that moment he understood the importance of saying, in time: "I LOVEYOU" and giving our loved ones the time that they deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family and friends. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till "some other time".

Someone once said "I've learned that, regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I think this is true with your in-laws, grandchildren, sisters, brothers and your friends. Anyone that means something to you-you should spend time with them and let them know how much they mean to you as often as you can.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Do not cry if the Sun sets at the end of the day, because the tearswill not let you enjoy the beauty of the Stars.

“It is a very short trip
When alive, live. “

Wish you success my friends…

Its not raining but its cooler here, thanx to the cloudy weather.
2day early morning at around 6.30, I along with one of my friend were on our way to the railway station to bid farewell to our friends … when we happen to pass by “THE INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS”…
The very institute where we had our counseling done…
I said him, “look, this is the place we had our counseling done and today we are passing by it to bid farewell to our friends”.

It’s been a long 4 years…
Some great years where we had made new friends had fun, fun, fun.
But the days seemed to have passed away so quickly…
It was fun through out the 4 years…

OK today I’ll not get nostalgic…

We were in the station right in time and hugged our friends and wished them luck.
I just thought that, had I not opted for Accenture , I might have been on the same train to Hyderabad… bidding goodbye to my friends and family…

Neway…the atmosphere at the station got emotional…
One of my classamates mother had tears on her eyes… and remembering Sam’s word…., I repeated the same thing, “Why to worry Aunty, 2day we have phones and other stuffs so we can always be in contact ”…
These words seemed were quiet empty to Aunty and I felt the same way…
May be I couldn’t put them convincingly.
No technology in this world can compensate for your presence your physical presence… no technology

There were a lot of people at the station just to say goodbye, with many of them not very much sure about when they are going to meet each other next…
The same lines everywhere…
“Best Of Luck”
“Give me your number when u buy a new sim”
“Keep sending mails”
“Don’t forget me”
……………………..
……………………..
……………………..
“It’s a start of a new journey for everyone and I wish them LUCK in their new journey, a journey to top, a journey to success…

A journey where you will find new friends, make new relationships… but please remember that when you look back there will always be the same set of people who would be ready to help you as they have done till date… the same set of hands which you are familiar with
Remember its time that tests friendship…
Just make your friendship strong enough to stand the test of time”

1 tooth less…..

Yes, u heard it rite…
I just returned from the dentist and had my tooth pulled out…
I had been feeling pain for the last 2 days and had some medicines as prescribed by the local chemist and felt relieved.
But a didi (my friends sis) prescribed me to go to a dentist as my tooth was in bad condition.
I knew I had to go to the dentist but was scared a lot.
Neway I was in the dentist’s chair and he asked me how come I not come earlier.

I just said to myself, “Are you nuts doc How come I know wots happening inside my mouth until and unless there is a pain as it happened recently”.
I had visited the same dentist 6 months back and he had said the same thing then but after having some medicine I felt Ok and see no probs for 6 months.

He showed me and my Mom the damaged tooth on a screen. Man they really look nasty and asked if we wud go for teeth extraction or not and we agreed as the other treatments wud have been costlier.

He gave me local anesthesia and made me wait for 30 mins. In the mean time I tested whether the anesthesia is working or not.
Obviously by pinching my cheeks which felt a bit heavier to me.

Neway, he called me to extract the tooth.
And in no time, I found him wrestling with my tooth.
The doc seemed to me like a plumber doing his normal stuffs (using his muscles to pull something out )

He asked his attendant for a machine
Machine…….. hey he asked for a machine. Dat wud have scared ne normal fellow and made him run out of the clinic.
But a brave guy dat I am I sat there to see wot was the doc trying to do.

Then came the machine and it sounded like a drilling machine.
I felt myself part of a cartoon show where they performs stuff like this and the sound was like grhnnnnnnnnnn……

Ne way the doc won and he pulled out the tooth.
And he scared me by prescribing me some pain killer. So no respite again…

Hey ne1 there can help me out.

Well now I have 1 tooth less and don’t know exactly wots in store for me in the next few hours and may be days.
Just hope everything goes OK.

HOPE HOPE HOPE…….

My first Blog……….
So me a blogger from 2day.

There is just one condition before u read my blogs…

“DON”T EXPECT ANY GENIUS WORK OUT HERE. I CONFESS I’M NOT A GREAT WRITER.
YOU CAN EASILY MOVE ON TO SOME OTHER BLOGS (RECOMMENDED) “


So wot do I start with…
Yeah got it…
I saw a dream last night. It was quiet scary and it made me wake up in the middle of my sleep… something around 3 a.m

The dream…..
I don’t remember the whole part of it, but just writing wot all I rememember…
There was a tall, slim man with a sword in his hand…
Man!!!, the sword was deadly and a sword by any parameter is injurious to health…. Health!!! I mean life
He was moving in the town carrying his sword and chopping off the heads of few and some of my friends.
We were running here and there in the street and managed to escape from his wrath.
Although, I don’t remember how many of my friends fell prey to his sword, but I remember my dear friend Sarat was 1 of them.

So, before u proceed two mins. silence for him…
1…….
2…….
Hey wait dat was a dream man, he is alive now and must be busy doing some nonsense work in his village…
So, u all can cheer up…
I hadn’t talked to him about my dream yet, but will call him and hope he doesn’t kill me.

Ne way, we decided to get rid of dat deadly fellow…
So, we made a plan and called him… yes on phone though I don’t remember his number now.
And if you are still guessing was he carrying a mobile or wot!!!
Don’t turn up to me now for an answer, I myself have no idea…

But, yes we challenged him and he came running…
One of my friend fought that tired beast and killed him…
Yes, they had a small sword fight and the killer was surprisingly overpowered easily.
Hey we won so three cheers



But do you know who was that killer------------à AMARENDRA from the E&TC dept of our batch.
Yes, when I woke up the killer looked like him.
And our very own fighter was none other than TAPAS RANJAN SAMAL…
The next day I meet some people in the streets and I found Ankita along with some of her friends and explained wot all happened yesterday night and how we managed to kill the killer (this is also part of the dream)

So, that is wot I remember….
