But, he is gone now!

Its been quite a while since I visited my own blog space. it was way back in early 2009... certainly dont feel good abt this delay... was writing now and then but dint feel like post them as i thought none of them was fine finished.. what ever! here im gonna post a thing (which i still feel unfinished) which i wrote more than a year ago... its been in my drafts all this time... read it like it is somewhere around September in 2009...

************

Last time I posted here was at the beginning of this eventful year. Almost 3/4th of this dairy is turned over and here we are now.It saw the last breaths of great leaders, sporting icons and one of the greatest entertainers that ever walked on to a stage. The king of pop, the moon walker is at rest now. Perhaps that is what he wanted most after all the allegations he fought in his life.
i would like to recollect a scene here from my college days..

In the first year of my engineering, as part of the bhawan culturals, a game called YES and NO (guess you know the rules!) was conducted in our hostel rooms. I’ll tell you how it is if you haven’t heard of it. You nominate one guy from your team to go to hot seat. He is provided with the answer which you need to dig out by asking him a max number of questions up to 20 to which he can answer only YES, NO or May be. it’s the game time and all the teams were cracking the answers at an average of 10 to 15 questions. There comes this pair. One of them sat in the hot seat and the first questions he faced from his team mate is “male or female ?” , the guy said MAY BE. To everybody’s ostentation, in the very moment, the guy shouted the answer "is it Michael Jackson?”… Damn !!!.. he did it with the first question and that is the best anybody can do in that game. Whole hall including me filled with gags for about sometime.
Although I appreciate those quick witted fellas, it triggered something inside me. Who are you laughing at, u Junk? I asked myself. The man who made billions of ppl foot tapping to his rhythm, who made millions of voices sing with his album records has become a laughing object to you?... I shut my mouth.

Later years..every now and then we saw news about his court proceedings out of all in which he came out clean. But, He always had to be a victim of the sarcastic projections of the media. A victim of his own fame. Never they mentioned his music then. Never they mentioned about his charity. Never they write about any fcuking good deeds he’d done. All they say is.."is he a gay.. has he secretly undergone the new nose surgery. Is Michael going crazier than ever?… how many children he molested till now?"....For gods sake, he might as well dead back then.! And now as it happened two months ago, everything is changed. He is a legend in every news channel..every news daily and every FM…everybody chant..How good Michael was… is Michael the God of music?.... in fact, the truth is ...it’s a big loss for the Media itself. They’ve lost a major contributor to their revenue.
No wonder I often wonder how mean the world works. All of us tried to hurt him in a way or other and when he is no more, we now prepare to conceal all the shit we’ve done with the deepest condolences for him… did we actually love him?.. had we been shown at least 1% of what love we show over his corpse, he might have died in peace. all the love and tenderness we have for him NOW aint gonna make no no difference to him.... cuz he is gone farther and father where none of can reach..really...so i wonder quite often, Why cant we realize the importance of one when he is around us. Isn’t this going to change?...arnt we gonna do something abt it?.

have a happy day...So long!!

Elluding HapPY New year day!!!!

A very happy new year to you all.. Hope everybody is having a great time… well its not the same with me… every time, as new year approaches… I know something is there around the corner for me….. a real HAPPY new year day is still eluding me… I’ve got many a stories to support this statement… its all started off when I was in 7^th standard… I still remember all those ….

That day…I lied to my mom saying I need to buy a geometry box for maths course and she gave me 12 bucks…but I went on to buy a set of greeting cards for the fast approaching new year day.. as u all kknow.. its not a snow job to hide the truth from your parents…. result à  got beaten up to my ass!!!!

And.. I never bought a card there after on a New Year eve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New year season when I was in 8^th std was the one which I can not erase of my memory even if I get Alzheimers…. That December 23^rd… I lost my father to heavens.….

Next few (new)year(day)s weren’t much better either… all is well when I joined bits but as the first semester comes to an end in December … I realized my gpa is not gonna be what I expected or hoped for…..and  that spoiled my year ending celebrations… ending of 2-1 wasn’t that bad cuz I got used to the idea of getting low cgpa :-) …

Ending of year 2007 was a bit different… I’ve got 20 days to prepare for campus placements and all I did is thinking about how to prepare…tension mounted … and it spoiled yet another Happy year ending season… by the time I came up with a perfect plan, there is no more time to prepare actually…. How sad… L

Year 2008 must have been a special one for everyone of u… I consider myself very lucky this year…’ve got a job, bought a guitar , read some great books, watched many more great movies, finished my graduation in 1^st class (:D) , got trained from IISc in aero space module as a part of my job training and many many more….

As the year approaches its end… I was getting excited to see how this lucky year is going to say good bye… Guess what ?... this aint no different to the earlier one’s.. this time it is dec 16^th that started all the mayhem… the DEAL… that went wrong… well if you know me, you know what im talking about…even if u don’t know me.. there is no prize for guessing what it is Or where am i working in…..but to a difference…the things were getting softened as new year day approaches and I even had a great time in the night of 30^th with Yashwanth , vijay , sai and gucha courtesy those “magic moments”. J

Slumdog millionaire was the movie I was watching when we all entered into year 2009. good to start the year with a movie which has got a gripping screen play huh…..all is well but something keeps ticking me off inside that the new year gift is around the corner… this time…  it’s late by a week… I got to see that  surprise only on jan 7^th… not only a surprise but also a shock … may its just another breaking news for others… a bucketful of fcuking shit for all the news channels….but , for us …it’s a special day… it really is…i aint gonna discuss how it happened or what could have happened...cuz nobody has got any damn idea...

I’ve got to tell you something here…Right from child hood we have seen many events that shook India.. could be the Bhopal gas tragedy or earth quakes in maharastra, train blasts , hijacks , kargil war , godhra incidents , major protests ,the tsunami….. recent bomb blasts all over india or the disastrous Mumbai 26/11 attacks….. I always wondered…whats in store for me…am I going to be a part of something like this???  Its not that I want to be a victim of those incidents or I would like to witness it…but… no one can outrun their destiny…. I told myself… may be something is  written for me too ….

Yes.. its written for me.. the day…jan 7^th is a historic day in the Indian corporate world… and you know what … I am a part of that …. Yes.. Im a part of history…Its an exciting situation to be in .. nobody knows whats going on in there…blank faces all over…… the scenes all over my office resemble no less than a movie....but I felt nothing….absolutely nothing…..most of the time my status message says …IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE…its always been a wonderful one….I believe its changed now….it becomes… Its an Interesting life….I thought.. Okay….time has come.. Lets face it…worst could happen is I may loose my job… it may take time to find another one….. even if I cant make one.. I can go to my village and become a farmer… that’s certainly not a bad idea… J … Hope for the best and prepare for the worst…the motto I always believed…..

                        The other side of the coin!!!.. I may get into the shoe of a job which pays me more than what I earn now…. May be I can start a business ( first option for a jobless person)…. But what Im worried is… I may not meet the same kind of people with whom im working right now…..what ever… life goes on… in a way or other…..

  Amidst all this turmoil….i still feel things can go flip flop…. May be our new leaders are going to be the next Lee Iococcas…..may be  our company can become next Chrysler corporation… may be …may be…. The eluding HAPPY new year day could be the coming one ( 2010) and I may play guitar like a professional by then…  Like they said… HOPE….NEVER DIES…  

Friday night..Under the Full Moon Light!!

Hello all.. Here comes me again....... :) .. have a nice reading...

Few days back when I was about to come out of my workplace at 7 pm, all of a sudden there was a power failure causing darkness everywhere inside the office building. I always enjoy those moments when there is a sudden power failure.

It was big relief from strict study hours when I was in school and +2 collage. It is a big shock when I lost all the data in Engineering Graphics test. And it is a sweet surprise when sachin scores a hundred by the time power comes.

(A one sentence tribute to my dearest wingies at bits J)

(((((((((((((
It was even more fun in bits. When the power is gone…everybody comes out of their caves and do different things. I used to relax my eyes which were very tired of looking at my desktop watching movies or downloading songs. For gucha ( sri bhavani gurucharan) , those were ecstatic moments because otherwise he would have lost yet another AoE game. Vijay ( currently working in Microchip on 8 bit micro controller project :) :D ) would finally walks out of his room… reaches us… and make fun of us using some ADVD formulae jokes or discuss about his ave+ ave marks in courses where rest of us are struggling to open our accounts. krishnaditya who lives in a darkroom sorting out English mp3 albums doesn’t even know the power is gone unless his computer shutdown. Then we all here sai screaming like a wild horse and start playing dostana with whomever he touches first. Now, aadi seriously preparing to argue with somebody even though he has absolutely not aware of what others are talking about. Bandi the unofficial CGPA calculator of our group keeps silent all the time only to come into the picture whenever somebody talks about their declining CG and boosts them with some instant encouraging calculations. Chatu goes on phone with his ladylove. Yashwanth the genius crackes some laughers. But in all this fuss, there u find the group of fab(t) four having kadra , kishore , bachi and me. Each one of us comes up with “from tomoro morning” plans for loosing weight and getting sixpacks. Any how.. Congrats bachi , finally you are the one who did it.. From O to o courtesy his two ps-2 stations. I am very happy for you (L)…

Power has come now.. and everybody gets back into business but the four of are still there… for a long time…
)))))))))))

Hmm.. lets come back to the beginning of this post… as I walked out of the darkened workplace building , to my amaze I could see the mighty brightness everywhere. Yes.. it was the full moon light on that night.. I felt it all over.. it was the scene !!.. Suddenly world looks very beautiful.. I went on to sit in the widow seat of my cab… I could still see the full moon through the window.
It drove me back to all my memories where I was at the top of my home in my village with my brother and sister. None of us would get down from the top if there is moon light. We often have our dinner also under the moon. We talk about our schools, collages and our lives... We even take a walk into the jasmine fields of our villagers. My goodness.. not everybody In the world are fortunate to experience that jasmine filled soft and cold breeze…haa…. . I hardly get sleep those nights!!!

Suddenly the Kannada FM played the track “aagale sangamaa” .. and no doubt.. this brought me back from all those memories.. My mann!!!.. this tune irritates me.. really!!

The track is over and I have gone back to the past again. This time. Its exactly 13 months ago on November 18th night 2007 I guess. We were on our way to Ooty from Bangalore. Yashwanth was sitting beside me in the bus. I woke him up at 4AM , shown him the wonderful full moon. We’ve seen it just for a moment but we captured it in our eyes! I could still see the image perfectly. what if god has given me the power to print that picture and show it to you?.. I am sure.. you all will be Delighted!!!!

Got down the bus and I started walking to our room. Did I tell u?... that was a Friday night!! I must say Friday night is the best thing that ever happens to an employee. There is nobody to stop you. 2 more nights are there to think about your worries. You can stay awake all the night. You can party.. u can jump .. u can fight.. u can dance.. and what not?? J … I feel.. Friday night means much more than what I said.. Now, in the days of Rescission … walking out of office gate without a pink slip in our hand is like a GREAT ESCAPE…. So.. grab it to the fullest.. Feel the free world which belongs to u only….

You know what I feel like doing?... on a Friday night.. under the full moon light.. listening to Garthbrooks ‘No fences’... and taking a walk.. with U….. and.. and.. I can die with happiness...
I wanted to write much more… may be I will do in the next post(year)!!!

Ciao soon!!!!

Merry chrismas!!!.. Happy new Year!!!…

PS: U can read this post in my friend’s blog on.. how he hates Monday

Review: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

My second post with the review of the much awaited movie of this year is here. Although I aint watch much of the bollywood flicks, i was very exited to watch this movie for a longtime… after listening to the tracks given by Salim Sulaiman and those promotional trailers where sharukh looks like never before , my interest grew further…

Time has come and I was at the innovative sharp at 9.30 last night. The sharukh’s show started at 10. I sat in between Vijay ( who is currently working in Microchip on 8 bit micro controller Project ) and Gucha ( I better not say much about him) , who is very poor in Hindi ( you’ll know why I said it!!)

Show started off!!

Suri ( srk) , a typical Punjabi guy working in Punjab Power corporation goes to attend the marriage of the daughter ( anushka sarma as Taani) of his teacher and falls for her at first sight. To his fortune , bridegrooms family met with an accident and nobody survives. Then ,the father down with heart stroke asks suri to marry taani. He takes their hands and place ther one in another and dies. And there is the married couple.

"Here is where gucha interpreted the meaning of the title that the father rubbed their hands together and made the couple ( rab ne bana di jodi)!!!."

But the shy and naïve suri who loves his wife soomuch can not express his love and she looks lost always. She joins a dance school for killing the time and to change herself. Suri in order to impress her, transforms himself into Raj , a cool charismatic and flamboyant character also joins the school but she cudnt notice him as her hubby (Suri in the name of extra working hours changes his appearance daily and goes to the dance school as raj).They happened to be the dancing partners for the competition amritsar ki No1 Jodi. Rest of the story is all about how suri shows all his love for her in name of raj, how they prepare for the competition and whom does she choose between them.

You don’t need to need ask any reviewer about how sharukh played it. Do you? But I can’t resist saying he is simply outstanding! Anushka sharma who played the female lead in the movie did a good job and one thing other than sharukh and music which grabs your attention is Her beautiful smile.

Music by salim sulaiman needs a special applause here. I still cant stop humming the title track. It haunts for quite sometime. Back ground is also worth mentioning.

Direction by aditya chopra after a long gap is good. Plot in the first half is very intresting and you will be disturbed to see ‘intermission’ on the screen. Story takes a slow ride in the second half and you may feel bored at a time… but... there it is again …. her smile and srk….

Finally.. Yes… you will laugh.. You will dance.. You will sing… a complete King Khan’s show… with my thumbs up.. I give 7.8/10 for this complete entertainer…

Note: Finally gucha also came to know what the meaning of the title is….

TakeOff!!!

Finally.. yes!!!.. I have landed in here.. the blogging world… I thought of doing it for many days (years in fact) to keep a record of my life... but I dint need to write it down cuz each and every moment of those days is still with me and it will be…for ever… those were the days!!!.

Being born and brought up in a small remote village, I feel I had a great and peaceful childhood. All my schooling except SSC, I did in govt. schools and high schools. There were no home assignments, not a bundle of books and no teachers either :P…

I don’t remember much of my +2 study but I had a group of close buddies there..
There is My engineering. Those years at BITS- Pilani made me what I am now. I am not going to tell you how it was… I can easily write books about it… It Was Wonderful!!!…

Now.. here iam.. doing a job …. and .. and …. on a Wild Goose Chase as well…

So much is happened since I joined my job on 4th aug this year… 2 days ago when I looked back at what all happened in these 5 months ,all I could recollect Is very little … everybody can guess wats the reason behind … that’s what prompted me to go for a change and I choose this… to keep track of my wonderful life…Not a bad idea huh?.... in here, i am going to post about movies i watch, music, guitar, sports and last but not the least on Engineering also.

Before concluding my first post… Presenting myself to you…A fatty witty lovable and passionate…. siva !!….

And Here we go, TOGETHER ...
