Back In Bangalore

Back in Bangalore and back to work… It surprises many but not me… Not much of work at office but have been working for almost 12 hours a day… Blame it on me… I love my computer and my cubicle :-D But I miss her more now since I am in Bangalore… I have been thinking about  her a lot…

My roomies also have added to the woes…My roomies suspect rather are almost very sure that I love her… They think that I have not confessed my love to her… They think that I do not have guts to do this… How do I tell them that they are wrong… I do not want to discuss about her in my room… I do not want her to be the topic of any discussion. So have been taking all these comments on my chin… I do not blame them… They are just being friends…

Chat with her have been little scary as well. Do not know what decision she is going to take in her life… All I have and can promise is unconditional love for her… A promise to keep her happy always whatever it takes… But I sometime have this fear that it may not be enough…I do not know… Fucking confused… but I have kept my cool and have not acted weirdly…

Embarrassing

I was in such an embarrassing situation today… I had absolutely no idea how to react… On being asked rather probed that did I watch porn – I admitted to it… It was so bad… I do not know what she is thinking about me now… though she told that she is OK with that and actually thinks that I am a grown up guy (what was she thinking of me earlier!!! thats another story… lets leave it there)… Now how do I prove to her that I am a bit embarrassed about it… How do I tell her that even the most innocent guys in college I know of have watched it… She is a kiddo here but that is not an excuse for me… How do I tell her that even though I got a chance in my 11th and 12th I did not watch it… I use to close my eyes and use to consider it very very rude… But ya watched it in college only…

Guess I am over reacting here… Do not think her opinion about me is going to get very bad, but… Her opinion matters a lot to me…

Can somebody stand and give me a big big kick in my ass… Please do not make me think much about it… Please please… How does one shuts his mind…

Seriously fucked up!!!

I am seriously fucked up since the days I have taken this new responsibility… Have been so fucking busy that I did not get a chance to post a blog also… Wot do I say, where do I start… May be I am taking up lots of load on myself, not wielding the stick when necessary or do not know wots happening… I do not like complaining about anything but this situation is fucked up completely… A team lead is only as good as his team… but I do not know how does one manages a bunch of people who do not want to take up responsibility… lots of politics or shall I say actions because of insecurity… do not know… its wait and  watch now… can feel the real heat only when I am back in India and then only can do something about it…

Wanted to talk to her but she has been very very busy… tried to chat with her but guess again she was busy… but a chat with her will definitely helped a lot… its been 3 weeks…  miss her a lot…

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

Saw the news on 26th which was initially reported as a gang war and by the time I get back to my hotel it had blown up into a full fledged war on my motherland… I have been on TV and on web (when I was in my office)… Getting angry as each moment pass… Its fucking war on my homeland… I feel so hopeless and that’s what makes me so angry… I just want to go and kick those mo^%£$ f$%*&! on their face and hurt them where it hurts the most… (I am so sorry to use these words but I am very very angry)… Its enough… Now I request the media and our politicians not to talk about Mumbai’s spirit…. Its bull shit… I demand all the people to be angry… and show their anger on the leadership of the country or rather the lack of it… I am ready to do whatever I can do, how insignificant it may be… I want to do something… The feeling that I am not able to do anything pisses me off more… I do not expect anything from the politics… Already cheap drama has been started by various NETAS… I feel so let down by these people… I want to do something about it, to channel my anger in a correct way… We need a revolution, we need people marching and making a statement… I ask all my fellow country men to organize a big big revolution, I will be a part of it… Let us all just converge at Mumbai… show our anger… Enough is Enough…  Its my fellowmen who are hurt and who have been killed…

I thank the brave Mumbai police force, the NSG commandos, the MARCOS, the army, navy and the brave firemen…

Job well done…

How do I say it… I am so so happy… I am so proud of her now… She has gone ahead and achieved something which she has been dreaming for the last 7 years… This is where she wanted to be and she is there now… How do I congrats her… Anything I say will be small for the occasion. Its her day tonight and she has done in style.. For me the best part is she wanted to do something in her life and she has achieved it. How many people do that in their life? Not many… I am ot surprised… I never doubted her for a second… I knew it was always coming… And it is my turn to be happy now…

All I have to say is – “I am very very happy for you today as always. I am so proud of you. I just wish I was there beside you today to see your smiling face. Congrats sweetheart.” I just cannot stop smiling.I wanted to celebrate today so went out with my colleague and sponsored a good dinner on her behalf. I am so happy.

Moreover she is coming to Bangy now and that is :-) :-) :-)… Did I not tell earlier she is just fabulous…

Buddha mil gaya

One of my all time fav song… Have loved it since I was a kid (my Mom says it)

wot do you do when you miss someone a lot?

well I was having a chat with her yesterday and this question came up…

well wot do I do when I miss someone a lot…

I breathe…:-D means I miss her every second, every milli second, every moment..

But when I am alone, I think about her, remember the moments that we spend together, bask in its glow and smile… there is nothing more sweet in this world than her smiling face or her face for that matter, the way she talks, everything… the way she makes fun of me also makes me smile, there are many times I would act like a stupid (or moron as she would put it) to make her happy and so that she can tease me. That makes her happy and me too… These are the moments that flash through my eyes when I am all alone and think about her…

I sometime pick up the phone and try to call her but more often than not, do not… reasons – I would have called her few days back or I would presume she would be busy or I would not have a good excuse (though she would insist I do not need an excuse to call her, but you know you still need one) or sometimes there is this feeling that if I call her too much she might get bored and she might think that I am calling her more often or I would be emotionally high and do not want to call her and end up saying something which I do not want to… sometimes it is more weird – I would have a conversation with her in my mind presuming what she will answer and then how I will follow it up and sometimes this lasts so long that it would be too late to call her(I said this one is weird)

sometimes I will try to write a blog but more often than not I will delete it…

sometimes I will just sleep wishing I would dream about her…

sometimes I would think we are together (seriously) and try to visualize how we are leaving happily ever after :-)

sometime I would get scared that we might not be together in future and I would try to imagine what I would be doing… one thing for sure I would not go to her marriage or if I go she her in private and then run home, definitely not with the groom, I would definitely go to some unknown place without informing anybody and without carrying my mobile, be lost for few days and then comeback… this is what I think when I am really in a very depressed mood… but this is not very often… somewhere in my heart I have this feeling I can make it…

sometimes I just go out and walk all alone… hmmm that reminds me of a nice song…

…

It was another lazy weekend… Saw few movies – Courage under fire and Grease. Both were good. Courage under fire was just fabulous…

Have to wake up early for the match :-)

A wish…

One simple wish I want to make today…

that, when I take my last breath, I want to be beside her, holding her hand and smiling with a thought that I have done all that was possible to keep her happy, always well…. ya always…

that her tears fall on my hands and wet my skin, but I give that smile which says – don’t worry love, we will be together soon…

that I can feel her breath, hear the beats in her heart which faints as I imagine myself to be standing in the midst of the beautiful nature and live a lifetime while I take my last breath…

Well this is one simple wish and am hoping for the day when it would come true…

My lazy weekends…

A Wednesday, Sleepless in Seattle, Casablanca, Road to Perdition, You’ve got mail, Welcome to Sajjanpur and Couplings and a lot more… dats wot I have been watching for the last few weekends… And yes F1 – the Brazilian Grandprix, the India – Aus cricket match… Have been going through this Potato Couch phase and believe me I am not complaining :-)… there is gym to compensate for all these lazy ass activities...

p.s. there is this The White Tiger also which I have started reading lately…

Am back again

Was sick… But with 6 tablets of calpol I am back to normal again… :-)
But had dry cough for few days… but its all ok now…

Have been suffering from BIDS for the last few days (blogging idea deficiency syndrome)… And laziness… well dats always there but this time around it was at its pick… Have been going to gym again and its been a bit tiring but I am afraid it does not seem to have any impact on my tummy… I have to work hard and make myself look perfect (fit is a better word) before I am in India… There is a reason I am cancelling my onsite and going back to India so cannot let anything come by way… :-D

Had a bad dream… a horrible dream today which woke me up early… Its so bad that I cannot even write it here… It scared me to hell…

p.s. I have been watching two interesting sitcoms recently… one is Coupling (British version of FRIENDS, but FRIENDS rulz). This one is a more sexed up version of FRIENDS so that is d only plus point but when it comes to humour, FRIENDS beats Coupling up and down…
Another one is – Paul Merton in India… this is not just another documentary on India… this documentary shows a completely different view of India which even many Indians won’t be aware of…

Have to see all the episodes before I can post anything interesting…

Got to go office now, its late… and  I hate morning con calls… :-(

Still bad…

The fever’s not gone yet… Woke up in the morning with a heavy head…Somehow dragged myself out of the bed and rushed to office… Had to miss the morning conf. call… And if that  was not enough could not take lunch thanks to a P1 call which came our way… But some managed to leave office around 5… Had a good sleep… but had to go to restaurant for my dinner in the cold… was scared I may get worse but somehow had to go as cannot afford to sleep empty stomach… taken Calpol so guess should be OK tomorrow… its already late and for some reason I am not getting sleep… but will try… tomorrow is a long day…

Diwali @ UK

Have been asked thousands of time by many people – what did you do on Diwali??? well I had to remind everybody body – hello I am in UK so it was no holiday here… was working my ass off at work…

Ya had no crackers this diwali… had a team lunch and been to temple in the night… but thankfully saw some fire works while returning… felt nice about that… hopefully next  diwali will be better… and please it is the best… guess next year gonna be the most important year of my life… it will decide almost my entire life… its d most important year… definitely!!!

Not so well

Hmm… am sick today and was on half a day leave… nothing serious… just some fever and cold I guess… Could not stretch myself at work so had to return back to hotel… took some medicine and was planning to watch some movies but could just manage one – LA Confidential… well did not like the movie much… I mean its not as if I hated it… But guess won’t repeat it again… its got high rating on IMDB on top 250 list, but not on my list…

got to go to sleep now… lots of things to catch up tomorrow at work…

Sachin’s Story (vs Abdul Qadir)

My father always tells me this story and I keep asking him to repeat it and I never get bored… And my father being such a passionate follower of the game and a fan of Sachin keeps repeating it… Today I was goggling and I got the story from Cric Info. A must read for all Sachin’s fan…

Sachin vs Abdul Qadir

Legally Bombed…

Wanted to see this movie for a long time and I saw it yesterday… I m talking abt Legally Blonde-II. I liked the first part but the sequel was just a  thrash… I cannot believe it I saw through the whole movie… I wont recommend this movie to anyone else I want to really torture you… Horrible acting, pathetic jokes, no story… the movie did not even present Reese Witherspoon the way he first one had done…

p.s. I still cannot believe it, it was such a bad movie… After being in such a bad mood for the last 24 hrs, I deserved something better…

been busy…

Its been busy few days for me… loads of work…loads of pressure… mess all around… its not as if I am complaining… I somehow like this kind of situations… trying to help… trying to do multiple things at the same time… trying to sort out things… I guess its because mundane things never excited me… So its been fun, I must say… but this has kept me away from my regular updating of blog but I guess things should be better now…

I have joined the gym now and have been going there regularly, well almost ;-)…

p.s. Sachin is the highest run scorer in test now… what a player he is… just amazing…

its been long

Ya I know its been long… Actually I have been going through that phase where I either had nothing to write or was too lazy to write one… I think I am Ok now and I am back. Hope I will write more now…

Life’s been pretty boring for the last few days… well thats an understatement… its been a while… the whether here is not helping the matter at all… I am not down or depressed though things are a bit bad on personal front. but then there is this hope that things can only get better…

p.s well I have not spoken to her for many days… I have tried calling but there is this beep which ends my call… its 3 weeks now… but then whenever I talk, will forget all… I know dat…

Dance Bradford – Day 1

This is the one thing I so much like about UK-The emphasis given to cultural activities… And yesterday and today they have this festival called – DANCE BRADFORD. Have been there yesterday for couple of hours.. it was a good dance performance by a Russian Group called TOP9. It was amazing…

I could not record the good part of the show as I ran out battery (you can curse me for this). I will post some snaps that I took their… Will attend the show again today and may be will post something better…

 

 

There was no place to sit, I mean they did not have any chairs, its not as if the crowd was huge… I had to stand there for 2 hrs but it was worth it… I could not record the good part of the dance as I mentioned I ran out of battery… The worst part was standing among the drunkards… Less crowd I believe was because it was a Friday night where people would have gone to bars, clubs and been banging each other… Was saddened actually by the turn up… I had expected a bigger crowd…

Reminds of the days when we use to have those “Melody” in our colony… ya there was this band called Habib Melody from Cuttack…. It generally use to start at 9  or 10 in the night in a huge playground in the middle of our colony and use to run for 3 hrs (if I remember correctly)… people would start pouring in right from the evening to book a sit for them and their family… I would be one of those who will always arrive late… just to check out the beautiful girl, there always use to be a beautiful girl in these group – young, sexy, beautiful, good voice and it was fun for us… there would be other senior singers in the band singing those Rafi’s songs and I use to wonder what these guys are doing here… if they can sing so good, whey are they not in movies… not found my answer yet, not as if I am still searching for the answer… but yes there use to be that beautiful girl… Life is great… Would like to attend one of those again…

p.s one thing I use to hate about these Melody  is the audience… they use to be very cold… despite some good performances and even repeated pleading by the host, they would never clap… wtf I use to think…come on that does not cost you money….
p.p.s where is that girl now ??? (wondering)

The changing financial world…

Ohh what a week it was for the financial world.

• Fannie and Freddie bail out by the US Treasury
• Lehman Brother bankruptcy (ya the chapter 11 thing)
• Merill being taken over by BofA
• HBOS being taken over by Lloyds TSB.
• AIG being given $85bn loan in exchange of 79.9% stake
• Short selling being banned in major stock exhcanges (seems to be more of a political move)

So where are we heading from here. People already have started losing jobs. The day Lehman Bros UK office went into administration 4500 people were asked to stop work. HBOS and Merill deals will obviously trigger few thousands more. We just have two investment banks left in US – Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Some people say we are back to the  Soviet era where govt controlled business – AIG is such a case. All we can think about is negative here. In India the second tremors will be felt at B-School Placements (the stock market being the first). But I would see this as a good sign. This kind of events happen once in a century (Mr Alan Greenspan’s view). The poison in the system is being pulled out and rightfully so. Many saw this as coming the day the Credit Crunch started hitting on us. But these people underestimated  that and were rather arrogant in what they were doing.

I see the golden line in this hour or dark clouds – new business models being formed, innovations happening in the capital market, new young players standing up with their ideas and selling it aggressively, just give them some time. Financial Capitals of the world will have new addresses now. Just imagine what are these bright minds going to do after they have lost job – There are 20 rounds of interviews to land an entry level job in Goldman and many people there will loose job. They are they brightest minds of the financial world .Do you think they are going to stop working – no you are wrong. They will rewrite this script and in a much better way. There are many B-Schools students who will not be sucked up in this poison and be made part of it. They will redesign the scripts. I think we have come a full circle now and a new path has to be charted for the good of all.

A new financial order is in the making… This is just the time when the mess is being cleaned, we need a break and tomorrow it will be a new dawn, a fresh new dawn bringing with it a new energy.

Till then bear the pain….

a phone call :-)

tried calling her… I mean I called her… took me almost 2 hrs or should I say even more to decide whether to call or not and its so fucking irritating… it took me another hour to figure out what to talk about… hmmm and I did figure out… nothing… then why on earth was I trying to call her… well just to hear her voice may be… ya… guess that was it… was thinking abt her the whole day… well I know I do that every day… there was nothing new abt it so why did I want to call… Can’t I say just like that… think her voice makes me feel a lot better… I am chatting wid her now… so better publish this now… mor later…

bye for now…

I just want to see you…

I just want to see you
When you're all alone
I just want to catch you if I can
I just want to be there
When the morning light explodes
On your face it radiates
I can't escape
I love you till the end
I just want to tell you nothing
You don't want to hear
All I want is for you to say
Why don't you just take me
Where I've never been before
I know you want to hear me
Catch my breath
I love you till the end
I just want to be there
When we're caught in the rain
I just want to see you laugh not cry
I just want to feel you
When the night puts on its cloak
I'm lost for words don't tell me
All I can say
I love you till the end

P.S. I love you

wot a race!!!

I say that all the time but the formula 1 circuit is getting better and better… kudos to the kid - Sebastian Vettel from Toro Rosso… the youngest GP winner in the history of Formula 1.

Felt bad for Lewis but the McLaren seems to be doing more and more mistakes in the past few races… they need to put their thinking cap on and give a better performance at S’pore with just 2 weeks to go… wot a race dat is going to be – first race under lights and with 60% probability of rain that is going to be one hell of a race…

But today’s race belonged to Sebastian Vettel – perfect pit stops, perfect race and the guy just kept cool… the McLaren were left clueless… Boy he has a long way to go…

Lazy weekend

1st a movie marathon …

• The Butterfly Effect
• Vanilla Sky
• Mumbai Meri Jaan

and its not over yet … watching ps I love you… good movie but always felt the book was a lot better… will finish it today…

Italian GP to catch now and with Lewis in 15th place at the start  the race gonna be interesting…

and spoke to her yesterday… I mean had a chat with her yesterday… felt very good. :-)

ps I love you…

Bad time

Okkk now isn’t it frustrating… You want to stand by your loved and dear ones during their difficult time and you are simply not invited… I am in middle of something similar now... I cannot afford to be angry as well cause I do not know the real reason for the treatment given out to me… There is something in me which says there is no malaise intended… It has happened in the past… I know it...But I had called her many times, SMSed her but of no help… I have stayed online almost 24 hrs a day for the last 3 days just to see her online and discuss it with her… But again of no help… I have been thinking about her 24 hrs a day… checked my mobile and rechecked and rechecked for a missed call or sms… she had promised to call me… she had promised there is nothing bad… But I know she is lying…Believe me it is frustrating and sometimes makes me feel angry and let down… But I have faith in her and I know she knows what she is doing... She will not do anything to hurt me… The trust is there, always been there… But then if you are not with your dear ones when they need some one then it makes u feel horrible...
But it sometimes scares the shit out of me...There are very few things which she won't discuss with me... is this one of them... oh no... it does scare me...
May be time will tell… may be I need to wait longer…
To her… Love you and do take care and I know you can…

Wot a race!!!

Wot a race… Just managed to see the last 12 laps… but wot an extra ordinary lap – lap no 2… the overtaking by Hamilton – a show of grit, determination and patience… this man has got the skill and some ice cubes between his ears… Kimi the unlcky fellow… rain playing the havoc…

But cheers Lewis…

p.s. fuck he is fined 25 secs… dats serious fucking…

Back in UK

Back in UK… Same hotel… and as luck wud have it I even got the same room – Room No 226… Some initial confusions like – my type of booking – whether with breakfast or is it only room.. its all sorted… had some heating problem in my room but that also got sorted out…

its freaking cold here and its been raining since the day I arrived here… have to get used to it… work is not much of pressure now… at work it is more of adapting to the office politics more than displaying your talent at the things that you are supposed to done
:-(… but guess that is all workplace is all about… need to learn the trick of the game but till now have not been doing it that well…

p.s. had to write more on my India trip… blame it on my laziness….

Back to UK

Back to UK... At Heathrow now... Will blog in detail about my stay in India.

Lost in thought (II)

I sit tight on the bed staring blankly at the street from my window... I am suddenly gripped by some kind of fear, an apprehension... an apprehension of not being with someone today... a fear of not having her again... a fear of not seeing her again... drops of tears roll into my eyes. I stare at my mobile to send a text but then I sit back and decide against it... Why to pass on my sorrows to her  when she is already into so many things... I respect her the way she leads her life, she handles her life... Learning at each stage from her... I am not calling her now though I know she is the best person on earth for this. cause something in me says not to...

Lost in thought

Reached Bangalore yesterday... Been a good vacation at home (Bhubaneswar). Nice weather, nice time spent with family and friends... Will be flying back to UK on 3rd September...

Do not know why but there is something which is stopping me to go there. Something inside me is screaming out loud that there is something more important to be done here. An unfinished job... It makes me cringe...It tells me that you have this one last opportunity... You have it or you lose it... Do not know what to do now...

Had come to India in one mission... following a dream... an inspiration and the thought that - 'you have just one lifetime... if you want something in your life give it all and do not repent later that you did not give your best' . I have given my best but something still tells me that it was not the best... For a moment I had my dream come true but within few minutes a bloddy SMS ruined it all. I know it all sounds so cryptic... But there are people out there for whom it makes all sense...

A message for her - I love you and will always. Your smile is all that matters to me and will do whatever possible to keep that going... Its a promise... I have nothing to offer you but all my love... Love you...

Wish you read this...

On Vacation in India

Back in India on a short vacation - 3 weeks (well almost)... Was looknig forward to it for a long time... had planned it well but till now not executed perfectly.... :-)
Been very very hectic... I hate travelling all alone.. But had to make lots of trips and a couple of them to places I had never beem i.e Pune and Mumbai... Stand corrected on Mumbai - had visited Mumbai when I was a kid... but it was good...
In a cafge now... A lot of things to blog about... But cannot blog here with all this noise in the background... wil try to manage with my dialup connection at home...

A confession

A confession to make here...
I am horrible when it comes in showing my feelings.. I somehow end up doing something which I do not want to do... I end up reacting in a way I did not want to... I convey something which I did not want to convey... I have been horrible here... So most of the time as a defensive measure I do not talk much about it... I have suffered a lot because of this but am not able to get out of this... I still need to learn how to work it out... And being an optimistic person, I will somehow find a way out of it... but now I am in deep shit and still searching for a way out...

Just take an example.. A friend of mine sent some really beautiful snaps of her (in a party) and I was not sure whether I should appreciate her- tell her how beautiful she looked-she looked gr8, pull her leg or wot... and I ended up doing three things...

• pulled her leg
• sent a blank mail
• appreciated her

Now isn't that a fucking shit....
ohhh someody help me here...

p.s or is it with certin ppl only...

The tough part - gift

Now this is the tough part when you are returning home that too from a foreign trip... The gift!!!

I have never been good at this... Always get this cringing feeling whether my gift will be appreciated or not... So to be on a safer side I prefer going shopping with them... no complain... I give the gift... they chose it... everybody happy.... :-) But life aint that simple...

Now I am returning next week, less than a week left for that and I am yet to buy gifts... Initially I had thought that since I will be again returning to UK so will buy gifts for everybody when I return finally in December...
but no... sisters will be sisters... demands have started pouring in... have to buy something now... chocolates alone won't do... I have also started feeling guilty and I am thinking to buy gifts now... but its less than a week now... and the most difficult part is noot solved yet.... WHAT TO BUY??? and that too for my parents....

Am banging my head now... Got to go to sleep now... Will search for my thinking cap tomorrow... its there somewhere...

Wot a race

The Hungarian GP was a race of luck. This track has now given 7 different winners in the last 7 years. It was a great start by Massa and all the way it was Mass's race. I have never seen anybody overtaking Lewis the way he overtook him in the first few seconds. It was great. And not only did he overtake him , but at one time he had a lead of more than 5 secs. Just reminds me how Lewis had made Massa look stupid in the last race when he overtook Massa.

But this game was a game of luck also.

Lewis had a left tyre punture which saw him join the race at no 12. From no. 2 to no 12. Man this was getting interesting. And when everybody had thought that the race is all over with Massa as the winner - his engine blew up in 68th lap. Ohhh boy!!! Ferrari team have to go back and recheck their engine... they need to do some serious thinking... and this is not the only instance the reliability of their engine has been questioned this season. Poor Massa. And we have Hamiliton in 5th position. He somehow managed to complete the race with that soft tyre on. With his style of driving all doubted whether the tyres will last the race but he completed almost 28 laps in those...

And we have a new winner this time - Heikki Kovalainen.

yes you are right Massa - racing can be a cruel sport , and it was one today.

p.s But I am happy as Lewis still leads the table

A day at pub

Pub is an integral part of English culture... You see pub in all the streets and corners of England... People with the beer mug, sandwich and a cigarette in hand is such a common site, you come to a conclusion that people cannot leave without it...
Yesterday I had my first experience at pub... I was returning from office and met few of the people workinf for my client. They insisted I join them. Though I told them I do not drink, they asked I can do with a coke... So there I was in their company with a coke on the rocks in my hand... Spent some time there. Was ackward at the beginning cause generally I do not know how to react in these kinda situations and do not know how to joke with them...
but it was good time to spend with them... got to learn that English people do not love travelling long hours contrast to ours where we travel so long (in train of course). For them 4 hrs is the limit else it hsa to be flight...
and I bid them goodbye with a promise to join them again... hmmm... should join them again at the pub with - a coke on the rocks :-)

Trip to Manchester - 28th July 2008

Had been to Manchester today (but since it is 3.00 AM so technically it is yesterday ) on business. This is definitely one of my favourite places in UK. Its very very active and full of energy. They have a huge city centre and you can see a lot of street performers. They are generally very good.

 

You got loads of shops there to do your shopping and the city centre is generally very crowded and bustling...

But today I have just been to the airport - hangar to be more specific.. Was literally working inside the hangar.. For people who do not know what a hangar is - it is kind of a garage for aircrafts... One always feels nice to visit these kind of unusual places... you do not always get a chance to go there... so it was fun...

And I got a chance to sit in a Merc convertible... man that is coool...

 

p.s. the car belongs to my manager ;-)

A smile is all I want...

From FRIENDS..

And I realize why my friend said that Rachel and Ross are made for each other and should unite at the end... Initially I was not sure... Let me remind you that I started watching FRIENDS just recently and that is almost July. Ya... I know I am late... but didn't somebody say - "better late than never".... so keep quiet...
Initially I was not sure about Rachel and Ross... I probably was then watching the scene where Joey had a crush on Rachel and I somehow liked that. But then when I saw few more episodes, I probably understood what my friend was referring to... She is anyway one of the biggest fan of FRIENDS on the planet. And today I see the episode where Rachel gets a job offer from Paris and Joey does all he can to stop her... But when he learnt that Rachel wants to go to Paris and that would make her happy, he encourages her to go and helps her though he did not want her to go... That is love - when all it matters to you is a smile on the face of the person you love... isn't that beautiful

If wishes were horses

The second person on earth I wish I could marry...

Excellent movie. I do not write movie reviews and I am not going to write one here. Just wanted to mention this movie in my blog. A wonderful and cute movie with the main leads being two robots who fall in love. One of the cutest love stories I have seen in the recent past. A must watch for everybody. Its non stop fun right from the beginning till the end. The PIXAR guys just do not seem to know how to make a bad movie. With all the the social criticism in its place  like - environment issue, control of the world by some huge private company; the movie always stays on track and delivers what it is meant to deliver - unlimited entertainment.

Happy watching...

p.s this is my first animation movie in theatre. Some of my friends here detest animation movie - "these are for kids"... Now fuck off... Being kid is not bad... just do not be stupid...

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

Watched the movie this weekend. The whole movie took me into a flashback. Enjoyed every bit of it. Must admit not a great story and very much predictable but is one of the few movies with which I can relate to... Now how many movie makes you smile. This movie is full of moments. Moments which are so true in real life and with which you can connect instantly.... Watch this movie with your best friends from college and I bet you won't sleep until you had a long discussion on this - just relating yourself with the characters portrayed in the movie...

Hamilton

A great race at the end. The safety car which negated all the gains he had made in the race also could not make him loose the game. He just drove brilliantly and overtook both Massa and Piquet with some amazing moves. Now who says that they do not overtake in F1. He had to take second pit stop which almost made him loose the game. Not making the pit stop while the safety cars were on the track could have been a disaster for the McLarens but yesterday was Hamilton's race who drove

It was Hamilton's race through out. He has undoubtedly got the fastest car and he knows how to control the beast. The control on his breaks and the overtaking is just stupendous. He could have won last years championship as a rookie but missed out by a whisker and after a not so great start this season he is back. The boy has become a man now. It was his second win in succession (the last one was the silverstone) and his eight overall. He now looks very much poised to win the championship this year.

All the best.

My Lappy err Notebook problem

Been very busy for the last few days. Not with my work... They always have their own place... This time it is my Laptop which is the culprit. Its a brand new laptop for which I paid close to 650 Quid and it has this noise problem.

There is a constant clicking noise which comes from the hard disk. Now it is a DELL notebook (a customer care executive advised me that now a days the word Laptop is very sparingly used because of the heating problem thanks to the powerful laptop errr notebook in the market) and there is no servicing centre where you can take your laptop errrrrr again... notebook to get it fixed. You have to call the customer care and they will advise you what to do. First, I performed all the diagnostic tests. Second, got my fan replaced and now they have sent me a new hard disk. Now this hard disk is completely blank and I have to reinstall everything. Now that is not a problem, I have reinstalled the OS but I do not have the driver CD. I cannot login to the net to download it because for connecting to the net I need the drivers. And so I had to again connect my old hard disk and then try downloading from the DELL website which surprisingly was unsuccessful. Now that pissed me off. I called up the customer care and was told that they have not updated the service tag. Now fuck that is not my problem. I was a bit mad at that guy (actually at Dell service). Generally I do not get mad at people. Very rarely but this time it was too much. Apologised in the end for getting difficult because I put myself in his position and realised how bad I would have felt  myself. The guy on the other end said, he completely understands my situation and they will send me the CD as soon as possible...

Anyway now I am working from my old hardisk and tonight I will finish up the complete set up on the new one.

The 'F' word

Now this is one of my favourite word. I happen to view the below clip.. its gud...

http://www.funlinks.com/history-of-the-f-word.html

And now how do I use it?

I rarely use it with its sexual connotation. I generally use it when I am frustrated or angry about something. I also use it when I panic because of a mistake of mine or when I am in trouble. But one thing is for sure it relives me of the tension for sometime. But I mostly do not say it loud. Its all in my mind. The only exception being my friends. They have to bear it.

One of the best thing about blogging is it gives me the freedom to use this word as often as I can.

p.s. and I love it the most when girls use it

pps :- after 'M' and 'F' it won't be 'S' as my next blog

The 'M' Word

Is it just a coincidence or what? I happen to hear a lot of buzz around "Marriages" now a days. Now I know you must be thinking that - "Dude!!! you want to get married." Ok hold on to your thoughts. I always am ready to marry, its just that its not a one person act. You need somebody to marry to. The day it all works it will be all here on my blog. I would scream from rooftop (ok do not take me literally ).

Just reminded me, I wanted to scream the F word also sometime back. Forget it...

Somebody is either getting married, is going to get married or thinking about getting married and few are even desperate to get married. Every time a make a phone call to my friend more often than not the 'M' word has to be there. And if that was not all I stay in a hotel which is close to a marriage register office... So I do see a lot of these activities.

Now when am I getting married?
Ans - Do not know and the way things are stacked now does not look very soon either.
Reason - Well nobody seems to agree with my viewpoint that I can be a good husband . So just waiting for somebody to commit a blunder and say yes to me. 
And from where I stand now I do not see any dumbo saying yes. So I am njoying my bachelorhood...

My thoughts on marriage are very simple - Marry the one who loves you and believe in it and the day when you die let him/her be the last person you see. hugh!!! that was simple, guess life is also, but how much I know? I am just 25 (ya!!! its just)

p.s and I saw My big fat Greek wedding yesterday... Is it following me everywhere

Return trip

Now I am in a tricky situation... Muddled in between office politics and personal choice... I want to return back to India this August... Tired of staying all alone in UK.

Now it would be an obvious question - why the heck I want to return back when I am earning in pounds... well its a cliche but money is not everything... the more you earn the more you want. I have made enough money in the last 10 months or so... moreover I am a man with limited want... rather simple want... though paradoxically I am very ambitious when it comes to career. So there are some career aspirations which I want to fulfil...well I have to give my best shot...

Now if I stay there, its money which I will earn which can give a big boost to my career in the later stage as I can take more risk in life and career... now this is tempting...

But I stay away from my family, friends and all...

there are certain things I want to do when I am back home so that I have no regret in my life(now all the dirty mind people move to the next line... that is not what I am thinking)...

but my project management has to agree to that which does not look like from where I see...  its going to be few difficult weeks now...

p.s I am watching Friends and man I can watch it all day!!!

My presentation

My presentation went nice. Was a bit nervous before the start cause had not prepared at all thanks to the tight schedule at work. It was not supposed to be a powerpoint presentation just an application demo but I ended up preparing one just before the presentation.
Had put on my suit, the only one I have. Many people say I look good in that but I think it has got more to do with the suit than me.
Well talking about nervousness, I definitely was before the presentation. Afterall this was my first presentation in front of the client. But to my surprise after few minutes into the presentation I was pretty confident. There was just one thing that I was cautious about - its my speed. I generally tend to rush through my part. But not this time I guess as this thing was always in the back of my mind.

Anyway the presentation ended nicely. It was a big one  (more than 2 hours I guess) and had a break also. Got appreciation from the client also. And the senior manager from the client told that - it was really gud and she asked me If I was nervous to which I replied yes and to which she replied that she did not notice ir. She even sent a mail and thankfully my supervisor was marked cc there..

p.s. there was this beautiful lady who actually said - I looked smart.

A good day

It was a good day today. Was a bit scary in the morning when I read a mail that one of the support calls had missed SLA and I was scared if it was being handled by me. And guess wot it was being handled by me and that freaked me out. I did some analysis and found that no the SLA had to be corrected for some technical reason and it was corrected obviously after I reported it and I kept my record intact...

Rest of the day was good at office.

Did not go to gym today as I have a presentation tomorrow and had to prepare for that. I do not know what to call it but was having this feeling that something is wrong somewhere... cannot explain it... had to call a friend of mine... I cannot miss that call... this friend of mine, I can talk for ages and not get bored or fed up... its just refreshes me... brings back cheer to my face... neway had a good chat... touched upon few things of life which we had not discussed for quiet sometime for reasons known only to us...

told a very stupid thing. I told her that sometimes I am afraid that she might forget me... in the hindsight I realise its such a stupid thing to say... did not realise that it might hurt her... may be it was an apprehension... fear of loosing something which is so dear to you... but yes it was stupid... hmmm fuck...

Its 10.25 and I am yet to start my preparation for tomorrow's presentation (mine first in front of the client)... hope it goes well and one thing that worries me a lot is I should not rush through it...

Got to go now...

p.s composed it yesterday but forgot to post it...

My Day

Its been good for the last two days... Few issues got solved on Friday in office... Had bin into a small deployment issue lately and was not sure where the problem lied and it turned out to be version mismatch...fuck..  Worked late on Thursday and early on Friday but solved it... But its solved now... so happy...

Had a meeting with a senior client manager on Thursday and saw for the first time how difficult they can be... But there was a manager from Accenture also so he somehow handled it... But few learnings to take from the meeting... It is all learning for me now... One can only grow...

Saturday was good... Lazy morning... Had my lazy breakfast and then slept to wake up at 4.30 so that I can get admitted in gym... Had cup noodles lunch and then off to gym.. got admitted for a 21 day course... had some work out done... In the evening made a sudden plan to go for the movie - Jaane tu ya Jaane na only to realise that it has been sold out... wtf... I always see movie in Bradford in empty hall and its fucking sold out!!! so had to return back...Before you conclude that Hindi Film Industry is making good inroads in West then hold on - this is not the right example as Bradford is dominated by Asian community (but I do believe that Hindi film Industry is doing successful business in leading Western Countries)

And as I write this blog I am listening to Oriya songs... I was never a big fan of Oriya songs though I liked few old songs... but today I do not know why but I was in youtube and started listening to few numbers and I am loving it... its late in the night almost 2.30 AM and I am  not feeling sleepy at all... but I am feeling hungry... let me munch some thing...

 

p.s Happy Birthday Paresh and Anil...

Down sick

Horrible day must say... (yesterday)

1st thing- Priyanka (on of my team mate who was with us in UK) left for India. So that means I am all alone in hotel. Made me feel homesick also. Its going to be more boring now. So will now press upon my Team Lead to approve my leave and that means my flyback. Miss all my friends and my family. Have to meet certain special people as well.

2nd thing-Had a bad tummy upset problem. 4 time to the loo is horrible. Could not sit in office anymore. So had to rush to hotel.

3rd thing- India lost the match. hmmm...

One good thing- Slept at 7 Pm and woke up at 4.30 in the morning... I love this part the most...But feeling very hungry...Did not have my dinner and there is nothing to eat as well. Did not realise my favourite Crunchy Nuts (flakes) is over (well almost). But have some milk. So emptied my flakes box and had some biscuits... does not look like I can have a heavy breakfast also... Does that mean I have to remain hungry till lunch... will probably buy some fruits (I am not very fund of fruits but...)

Not joined the gym yet. the one day I went was a free trial. Most probably will join today or tomorrow.

Its 5.21 AM in the morning and I am listening to songs (its Raja ko Rani se pyar ho gaya now on my media player ) and preparing project plan... need to press with it so that I have to work less in office.

Thats it for the day...

Watermelon!!!

Was going through the newspaper and found this.

Watermelon is nature's Viagra!.

And I have the fruit daily in my breakfast...

Just a day...

I am sitting in front of my computer and typing... not sure about the topic, not sure about the words.. I think of a topic, a word or two about it and and even type it but then there it is... the Ctrl+A and delete. I do not know how many times I have selected a topic and then decided against it... Thinking today is not the right day or may be I need to do some research before writing something. I have never written a blog on finance which I wanted to write. This being my favourite topic after IT (I have never written on IT also, but for some reason Finance seems to be more sexy). I do not know the reason for this disarray  in mind. May be it has got something to do with this commitment to self that I will post one daily or at least try for one.. or may be it is because of so many things I am involved in my work in office where I find most of the things very much messed up thanks to some some fractured leadership...

I was also having a bit of fever today in the morning... May be it has got something to do with the number of times I took bath yesterday... it was 3... One in the morning and one in the gym... you heard it right... Went to the gym yesterday for a workout... it was good but guess I did too much and was not feeling very good after the work out... then one in hotel... and if that was not enough - had to wash few essential clothes... now it took a toll on me... and am getting punished today... somehow managed to slip out of office at 6 PM. May be it  might have got something to do with my diet which had been very poor to say the least... Feeling a lot better now... Need some rest and hopefully will feel a lot better tomorrow...

its going to be a hectic day tomorrow also... few important calls to attend to and one support issue which is just getting messier with each passing hour...a fear that it is going to explode... just checked my mail and found a bad mail... replied to that... pissed me off a bit... wish this gets sorted out yesterday... had a big fight with this guy last time was in UK... People at team lead level should know how to write emails...

Anyway hopefully will be back tomorrow... Its a new day tomorrow and will definitely be a better one....

UK Experience...

UK is a beautiful place... I just wanted to list down my experience in UK in the last 10 months...

• Beautiful place. Greenery all around. Less pollution. That means clean air...
• Unpredictable weather. People in UK do check the weather almost everyday, the same way we check what our politician do or for that matter do not do in the daily newspaper.
• People enjoy life. Party hard and they do have fun...
• Lots of thank- yous and sorrys... Sometime it tires you... But well they are very polite.
• Money isn't everything here. Everybody is respected here irrespective of the work that they do... I have seen how property services people in our office chat and have fun with senior managers...
• Chips are their main dish... Now I got tired of this... How can I forget Potato which has to be their on their plate in any of its incarnation... Jacket Potato. Hashbrowns, Chips...
  They also love their sandwiches the way we love our chapattis and rice
• Though I refrain from generalizing but most of the people here have three priorities - Football, Wine and Sex (in no order)
• People hate politicians here also...
• Beautiful Sexy Girls - No, I do not want to get started on this... Most of them are sexy... Control Sunil... Control... I guess that is why I always thought that they are more in number here... I corrected myself after googling for the statistics...
• One thing which has always puzzled me is this. During the winter I found girls on the street in the middle of night, in freaking cold wearing absolutely wearing next to nothing... I just do not understand how.I guess that is why we call them HOT...I had my own crazy thoughts but... no its not possible lets forget it... But still...
• Me at 25 with no girlfriend ever was a big news for them..,. They obviously figured it out that I have not slept with anybody.
• I was eveteased by a gang of drunken girls... Now frankly it freaked me out... Now I can not shout at girls... but for the first time somebody asked me my mobile number...
• Girls getting pregnant before 16... Where do they learn it actually... well obviously they do it but... before 15... I am 25 and I have not kissed one let alone do it... Let me tell you it is a big number... (7.9 per 1000 in UK and 9.9 per 1000 in London is a big number to me atleast).
• Be careful when you open a news paper... There are 9 out 10 chances that you will find a lady displaying her big breasts or hiding her nipples with her fingers or well pressing them between her forearms...I cannot help it, they are everywhere... Well disappointments for the ladies they do not have a quasi male section... or may be I never noticed it...
• Ya egg and fishes are considered to be vegetarian...
• You can use the word fuck the same way you use "be as in abe, chube..." back home...
• Tissue Paper... I am still unable to figure out how does it serve the purpose...

It can be a big list... 10 months is a big period... The above are the points I remember as of now and thought worth mentioning...

Just Another day

Post for yesterday... posted today...

Not a great day must say... Woke up in the morning with that call hangover of yesterday. But anyway got ready for office. Picked up the best dress I could in a hope that it will cheer me up... only to reach office and be told that a small miscommunication by a colleague of mine has created some issue... got that sorted out (hopefully)... Was not feeling very good so took half day off only to be woken up by a call from office regarding some urgent issue... now can't they just leave me alone for a while...now even the weather is not good... the forecast was supposed to be sunny and here we go-its raining...

But yes India won the match... A convincing 6 wickets victory over another Asia Cricket powerhouse(Pakistan)... That was good...

I know tomorrow will be a better day...Definitely...

Love Sunil

Call

Yesterday night ended almost in an irritating way... Now I do not like it when my call ends abruptly because I have no balance left in my phone. And to add to it my calling card also did not work. I was trying desperately to call from my calling card and there we go... The only thing I hate about this hotel is - I do not know why but I am not able to call using my calling card... FUCK yaar...

Fucking angry (after a very long time) I go for my dinner. Now it is early in the morning and I am still angry and this time I have my blog to vent my anger at...

I will try calling again but people do get busy... I might get busy or it might be on the other side also...

Baby I Love You

A promise...

A promise to keep you happy
A promise to keep you smiling
A promise to do anything for you

I love you...
Baby, I love you...

A promise to stand besides you
A promise to hold your hand
A promise to wipe your fears

I love you... Baby I love you...
You gotta believe me...
I LOVE YOU...

A promise is all I have today
A promise is what I can give you today
A promise of love to you for my whole life

Now I know what you are thinking...
I do not want you to feel sorry...
I know how you fee about all these...

But...

Can't help it...

Baby I love you...
Ya... I love you...
And I will always love you...
Isn't it enough

Its lonely out here

Its fucking lonely out here. Days and nights are passing away in oblivion. I think about it but sleep with a hope that tomorrow is going to be a beautiful day. There is this hurriedness in the morning, business  as usual the whole day and by the time the sun sets down (it sets down here very late in the summer) its a thought that comes to mind - another day gone by and you are no different than yesterday. There is darkness staring at me - many times asking me a question which I do not want to answer. I do dish out my frustration at nobody but me. Nod my head, give that smile which has nothing but despair in it.

But then I say it to myself. Come on buddy, all is not lost. You still can fight it out. You still can run that extra mile and achieve your aim. There is still hope. Its just a bad day today and tomorrow will be beautiful. And these words are relaxing, comforting. I smile and with a sense of hope I have my  blanket pulled over me and close my eyes wishing for a beautiful morning.

Life is a war and days are the battles which you fight. The victory is announced only on the day you take your last breath and hope is what you need your whole life.

So I will keep trying with the hope that the dream will come true one day. What if the day is not today!!!

With Love
Sunil

Love...

No this is not an article on the topic that you are thinking about... There are thousands of great work on this written by many famous writers, poets and now many bloggers. I will not waste your time by writing another one... I am going to talk about human behaviour - loving to hate.

One of the thing that has baffled me a lot is the amount of time we spend in thinking, discussing and worrying about the things we do not love rather hate. We are always seeking something which we do not like and once we get one easily few hours are spend on it. And in comparison to that how much time spend on enjoying good things about our lives. Less rather dismal in case of few of us. I am not trying to say that the world is perfect. It is not and there may be lot of things which are not correct. The world is not like a dress which can be customized for each person.It is a generic platform where everybody has to come, perform, give their best shot and then disappear. But we instead of spending time to love the people/things that we like, we spend our energy and time on hating the things that we do not like.

Just notice the people around you and keep a tab on the discussion you are having with them . You will find very few sentences that starts with - " I love" or something similarly positive. Most of the sentence will have a negative connotation - " I do not like", ".. is bad..", " I hate ..."

Is loving such a difficult thing, and hating something so easy? Does thinking and cursing and abhorrent feeling bring peace to your mind. I do not think so. Don't you think spending time in hating someone or something is sheer waste of time. Cannot we just spend our valuable time in loving the things we like. Time is one thing that we can never buy or produce in our backyard but we are unnecessarily spending it on the something we abhor. We won't spend a single penny to buy something which we do not like Do we?

I do not say we do not love, we do like things... we love our parents, friends, relatives, our favourite star, etc. But we seem to be dedicating less time to them and more time towards other things which we can avoid. Does this not pollute our mind further and just calculate the energy that we lose because of this? Does this not make us narrow minded and lead us to a situation where the importance of all the people we love diminishes? Will this indulgence not lead to us situation where it becomes difficult for us to smile. 

Why waste our energy on such an unwanted feelings? I have been pondering over this question for quiet sometime and have not found an answer. May be it is human mentality that ignores the white things of life and notice the black holes in it. If that is the case we should try to come out of it and enjoy life to the fullest.

It is a short life and let us not waste it on things we hate. Love is a beautiful thing. Let us ignore everything else in life. Life is precious and love is great. Le us live life the loving way. It is very easy to love others...

With Love
Sunil

Happy Birthday to you

Today is my Best Friends Birthday and its sad that I cannot be with her.

But here is my wish for her...
Wishing you a very very happy Birthday dumbo...

Thank you for being there for me always... You always have been a source of inspiration for me. Your words of advice. 
Thanks for everything... You mean a lot to me and I will always be there behind you in case you need me... Just give a shout and you will find me...

Happy Birthday again...
blow the candles hard...

 

iphone

iPhone 2.0 is launched...

Before I start, take a look at the keynote address by Steve Jobs at the WWDC 2008. Its a long one...

I have been waiting for this for a while. You can find the detailed review here

I do not want to repeat what has said million of times by many experts.

For me the key thing is will be launched in India by Airtel and Vodafone and is cheaper ($199 for the 8GB model and $299 for the 16GB model).

Below are the key points I would like to comment on

Why is it so cheap???

Steve Jobs pointed in the Keynote address that 56% of the people do not buy iPhone because of the price. So they have made it affordable. Now if you are thinking that Steve Jobs has charity in  mind then I beg to differ.  Here is my point

• Use of plastic instead of metal.
• Rumours doing round that they might have been offered subsidy by AT&T (iPhone's US carrier). So we have to wait and see what will be the cost in other geographies
• Cheaper chips for cell thanks to improving technology
• And one thing which many people have missed till now is - revenue  from the revenue sharing for the 3rd Party Apps.
  Now there are already 4000 developers for the famed iPhone SDK and many cool apps have already  been developed. Just imagine how the future is going to be when more and more developers lay their hand on this great phone and start using the Apps. Its going to be crazy. And Apple is going to earn 30 bucks for every 100 bucks you pay to buy the third party apps. Surely because of the low price the volume is going to increase to crazy levels. There is now a whole new ecosystem being built around the iPhone. The same way Apple was able to create a whole new world around iPods. All those  speakers, alarm clock and other funky gadgets being created specially for iPods. This time around it is going  to be more in the virtual domain. This man is just great. He is a marketing genius.

What about competition?

Now watch what the competitor are going to do. What will happen to blackberry phone after iPhone offer such a great enterprise support. What will happen to the traditional phone developers like Nokia, Samsung, Sony? Will they be able to match the price? Will they be able to match the features without looking like copycats?
Are the corporates going to move from  the Blackberry to iPhone?
Many questions. No answer as of now. Only time will tell. But make no mistake other will follow the suit in some way or the other. The mobile phone industry has got a great business model in front of them. Lets see how they build on it. Apple will definitely have the 1st mover advantage.
I guess many of these mobile company bosses would not have slept the whole not yesterday. Its the price I say which Apple is offering is going  to give them long sleepless night in the days to come. I do not want to write them off. I am waiting for their answer. How are they going  to react.

This is great for the consumer who have nothing to complain.

Isn't that fantastic
