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…

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…

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 …

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.

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
