Morning 8.30…in d office…switchin on PC…waiting for outlook to update the mail box by forwards of software professional sent on odd hours(man, thy only send ths fwds on late nites n early mornigs…always on odd hours…no wonder IT industry doomed ) one of ths mail is from bibin..subject shows “Wedding Invitation”…without thinking much i open tht mail…

a kilometer long mail with lines in sentence case,  written in italic font, with no animated .gif image inbetween, n nt even picture nor smiley at the end….this,very unlike forward, seems more of hibru to me… still without stressing the brain muscle,  i click on the only hperlink decorated in the mail…by the time voith server opens the link, i hv already forgotten whr i had clickd…bt the new window is nicely decorated..it  says “welcome..wedding of pallavi & bibin  on decemb.$##%%^&*(%$^^…….hey hey..WAIT A SEC..wt d hell is ths…surprisd..rather shocked me, again go through the entire mail again….is it for real??…searchin al over if thr is any hitch..its on 6th-Dec.. Dec do hv 6th day… nt like 30-feb or sumthin…thinnkin of al such probablities in my dirty mind i finally came to the conclusion… Yes..BIBIN IS ACTUALLY GETTING MARRIED TO A GIRL…..

yea..1st one in our group..Bibin…is rather d 1st GUY in entire Sp-mech batch to get married(what?? what do you mean, snehal got married before bibin??…snehal was a girl u idiot…she used to stay in girls hostel…dnt u remember?)god ..he is gonna settle down in lyf…has found a lyf partner…n now takin d most imp step in d lyf…n we are still roaming around in a college mood..line maroing on prtty chicks…busy in doin a lukkha giri as usual… al of a sudden am feeling sooooo  soooooo miserable man…whole day ruins in d disgracing thots abt myself…

hey , bt wait a sec, y am i feeling bad abt myself…so wt tht i am nt tht committed in lyf…. i cn still do the basugiri.. i hv no strings(Read: wire ropes) attached… i can go grab a can of beer n spend a saturday nite on friend’s place(gosh..gone r those days whn d alcohol was available on evry corner of d road…this dry state policy of MODI sucks lyk anythin)…i can still spend the whole sunday doin nothin..its bibin whos gonna miss d late nite futbol matches…

he’ll hv to give explanations for smoky shirts…

he’ll be forced to get rid of this ipod whn she is talkin…

he cnt grow beard anymore…nt even a stuble…nt evn a goti…

he wl b forced to use deo of her choice…

he’ll b made to luv shoppin..shoppin evn whn sachin’s on 193 not out n he hs chance to beat saeed anwer’s record of 194 (y nt??… cnt i evn imagine sachin breakin this record?? he still hs 1 more wordcup to go remember?…sum tyms i feel BCCI wnt let him retire until he breaks this record…poor chap he is)

he’ll hv to keep his bike clean…wash her daily…

he cnt evn brush d way he used to…he’ll b made to think before pressing toothpaste tube..

he’ll b prohibited to admire the god’s creations while passing by thm… ahem ahem..

n lastly, he’ll hv to wear the washed,cleaned & ironed denims(yeeeek..god bless u bibin)

Frankly speackin, if ths is wt he wntd to do ..thn thr ws no need to get married for tht…he cud hv simply shifted to baroda…lyf sucks equally terrible in here…in baroda…away from home

any ways, it depends on wht choice one makes… sum get married…sum njoy lyf…others leave mumbai..(if u dnt undrstand d meaning of this sentence, tht only means u r part of d prior two catagories  ) 

any ways… bibin..this blog is abt u bt not for u… its for ppl who r plannin to get married… atleast thy cn re think the decision tht thy hv made…. (n i wl b publishing it only after u get married…so tht u wnt get a chance to rethink… (GM bro..heehehe)…coz if i dnt, pallavi bhabi wnt evn allow me to enter ur house any more..

now on serious note..i hope n  pray to god tht u’ll nt come across any of the shit detailed above… n i wish u both all d  happiness n success(success??…ahem ahem;) ) in ur married lyf…keep rockin bro…keeeeep rockin

P.S: hey BB.. thnx a lot man…u made u start bloggin again…thnx for bringing me back on track..

Hamaraaa Pick UP…

morning 7.45 AM ….

me..surprizingly..not searching for bike keys…neithr 4 helmet nor bandana….y???… bcoz….siemens transformers has “finally” startd company transport facility to their employees…

Mr. Bhinde announced that there will be company pick-up n drop service on few specific routes(hidden: there will not be 200% VCP given ths time….so be happy with ths)…. so sudenly…inspite of no VCP n terrible work load, all turned happy after annoucement, it was obvious that the 1st bus will start from Dadar(    )…n so it did…

my co-passengers on ths route were goin 2 b Parag, borse, prajakta, n shruti(in the sequence in wch thy seat)… as per announcement the pickup facility startd but thr ws no response 4m dadar route… simply bcoz p/u tym ws 7.00AM… now people who used to catch 7.38 Asangaon fast will obviously not opt for ths p/u…but thn we rescheduled it to 7.30…thn …7.40…thn 7.45…n now 7.50 Am… (thanks to Parag…who is the most active(Read: irritating, annoying, irksome)  member of our route…

talking bout the daily p/u…(btw,for those who are wondering,p/u implies pickup…the term used by Siemens EXIM people i.e. Ms.sethi…there must be 1000 odd abbreviation used exclusively by Imports people n thy xpect tht al the ppl in ths world must kno their meanin… evn after tht if u dare to ask its meaning ..thy’ll give u the luk wch TABU gave in HERAPHERI whn PARESH RAWAL’S dhoti gets on the floor)… coming to the point.. daily p/u starts from KABUTER KHANA whr Borse, parag n prajakta get up… thn the SUMO comes to Dadar TT whr i get in )… thn a Ghatkopar shruti gets up…tn directly to NTF…(btw, we have ths TATASUMO for p/u…TATASUMO is a car wch is TATA had introduced as a Family car for families bigger in size… but till date no SUMO hs run on the road with 3 or more people of same family…its a pure commericial vehicle…n definately not a SUV…not even a mile close to it)

all mentioned people have their typical characteristics…. starting with borse(married n father of 2)… very cynical kinda person… at the same time…very gentlemen whnit comes to females… people say(including him) tht he is lil uncomfortable whn it comes to females… but i dnt think so.. he is d one who breaks the ice evryday whn we start the journey… be it yesterdays match…or kareena’s song… he always lights up the situation…. he is a kool dude…

thn prajakta(not married…not sure whether single or not )…ths monitor lukin female is actually a matured gal with “junior college” kinda attitude… a typical podrait..(i.e. Podar coll student)…she cn talk on wat so evr topic…a very gud listener….n a gossip parner as well..

thn shruti(not yet married…but definately wl soon get married being a Manglorian… Manglorian females get married on 24… ref: clause 156 paragraph 14 of Indian penal code)… i hv not seen ths female getting upset on anyone..(other thn me… am the 1 who she wl hold responsible if she dsnt get her VCP coz of subcontracting stock @ vendor)… she keps on smilling…laughing… blushing… all the tym…god knos y… the tym she gets in, both these ladies start their usual gossiping….i seriously cnt figure out,wt topic thy get 2 discuss evn after doin same in the office hours sittin nxt to each other… but the real fun starts after shruti gets in…and parag changes the radio station to its favorite FM Rainbow ;)

THE Parag….sur sangeet ka diwana… Damn….ths guy is crazy for old hindi songs to the terrible extent…he is one of the few listeners of FM Rainbow(tht too i doubt… i seriously feel tht he is the only listener to the morning 8o’clock slot on FM RAINBOW…the so calld radio jocky who hosts SUR SANGEET KE DIWANOKI MEHFIL, actually does the monolog with Parag…with parag doin wah wah after every song…yawk).. the time whn all other radio channels are busy in playin all latest movie songs..ths channel air IODINE NAMAK advertisent twice after evry single song… n their songs selection is sooo damn pakofying…we seriosly feel lyk killin ths gentleman…howeva…Parag is the one who does al the plannin work…. lyk… hmmmm… well…. lets c…..hmmmmm…. ok……4get it yaar…. god knos wt exactly he ds…evn in the office…

thn we used to pick up “U Kno Who” Amit Rane… ths IT guy stays @ airoli… but sumhow he preferes our company so he leaves the company bus n waits for our SUMO… he is d true, geniune funny guy… he dsnt feel bad whn entire office claims tht he dsnt work… he dsnt evn try 2 justify or to defend…(its a diff story tht he dsnt hv any point to defend since he actually ds not work at all…belive me…only pallavi cn beat him in ths”i-will-never-work” contest…she is head and shoulder above all)…. however… he sets up the mood by his silly talks…altho he himself dsnt work….he cools off the mood tht’ll make u work more….irrespective of the level of the person in front, he keeps his level of madness maintained… beliv me…its a skill….not every person cn manage such a high level of proficiancy… he is truely gifted…but Mr. Bhinde ws pretty jealous of his skills and actually got complex…so he told him to discontinue our SUMO….wch ws reallly veryyyyy rude, unethical n definately non “SIemens”.

Now..after a month and a half…situation is as follows,

SUMO n its driver keeps on changin…the timing keeps changing….the driver agency person keeps callin me evn after tellin him so many times tht i get up on the 2nd stop…i keep comin late on pick up….parag keeps on fighting with these agency people about SUMO iteriors… the only thing wch is constant now is ….females waitng for MASTEK pickup on the Dadar TT stop..(guys belive me….IT sectors rocks… evn i try style maroying al the tym with my patent goggle…but..as usual.. no luck…..am a true mechi u c )

P.S.:prajakta mite go to Komel’s route… she wont get tht affected by Komels “wo-kya-hota-hai-na” talks as she is trained, tested and approved by Parag’s company…. (tht means… no need to carry those ear plugs prajakta…hehehe)

Bhaiya in Mumbai

Location: ABC Station…

XYZ: bhaiya… JKL jaoge???

rickshawala Bhaiya: (in his typical arrogant style) Nahi…

In a situation above the variable station cud be any station…. central…western…harbor…

XYZ cud be of any gender…any age group…any religion…

and JKL cud be any place…closer or farthest from the Station..

the Only thing which is remains unchanged is the answer of  Rickshaw wala bhaiya… and his arrogance…

eventually the XYZ person goes to bus stop cursing rickshaw wala…

All mumbaikars are used to such daily encounter…but the increasing arrogance of “these” people… leads to the feeling of helplessness and dependency on a small group of people who do not belong to this place…. result is a Psychological block….all these n many other accumulated feelings of hate-red got burst and resulted in tragedy of Last Sunday (3rd FEB)

wateva happend tht day ws quite indecent and unethical…. a mob hittin a crowed of few is any wayz not ethical, irrespective of the regoinal issue… but again…before accusing RAJ THAKARE… one must analyze the root cause behind al this… a meeting of a UP leader can not be the only reason behind this… it has got many annexures full of such reasons

Mumbai is made up of many regions… many cultures… many colors…. it has its own religion… a Mumbaikar will remain mumbaikar where eva u put him on the back of this world… then y did he felt the need to make his present felt on 3rd FEB??

Maumbai feeds more number of gujrathis… south indians.. muslims for that reason …than Bhaiyas… but no mumbaikar complained on the existance of the rest…. the y only Bhaiya are accused??…. the reason being … Bhaiya community dont belong to mumbai mentaly… however educated he may be… however he may be earning… a bhaiya from any level of society will consider himself as a guest in mumbai… 

for an example… 26th july floods…tarin blasts… any disaster situation in mumbai…have u seen any taxiwala bhaiya getting down on road helping people??…. or for that reason , atleast  droping people at places when needed the most…. i remember a long queue of taxis at air port on flood day…sleeping in their taxis whereas entire mumbai ws on the road …helpin people who were stuck… Evn on the Train blast day…. mob at Plaza cinema hd to force these taxiwalas to drop people at respective places which actually is there job….

i am not saying bhaiyas shud be banned coming to mumbai…..coz luking at situation in UP if thy got to feed their familys … thy hv to luk for jobs….n whr else thy wl get these jobs other thn mumbai….UP leaders can not create job opportunities at UP… so supporting Bhaiyas to come to mumbai is the least that they cn do…. but in such scenario… a person must feel thnkful n obliged to the city that runs his family… showing arrogance to such city dosnt fits in the book of society… atleast i dnt think it does..

in spite of al ths i dnt support the last sunday incidence…. but it is js a signal to al… i only pray the right msg is  taken by al concern people…. n there will not arise a need to display this incident again in future…

n i only hope to c a lil more responsible rickshaw wala in a station que

TES 2

well…its ovr now….. 7 days of official TP r al ovr(tho i got 2 njoy only 3 of thm…thanx to (1)Manish who is njoyin his honeymoon…(2)deepak..who is down wid jaundice or atleast pretending to be…(3)n on top of it,…. its our boss… So being the only buyer around i hd 2 b thr in office for rest of 3 dayz..

talking about TES 2….it startd wid(along wid tht usual a siemens File n a diary n a pen) a very interesting topic as “commercal Concepts” n ended with the crap “Marketing” thing..whr a doctor was presenting a seminar on “marketing of FMCG goods to engineers…(funny??… isnt it… belive me, its possible only in Siemens) Non-veg Lunch, cookies in tea break n the presence of “XX” chromosomes were the only pleasing things out thr in worli….(for those who took vocational sub in 12th n wondering wat XX chromosome mean …well…XX chromosomes is the genetic term for a girl & XY for a boy)

coming back to Comercial concept thing… Mr.Malani & Mr.Apte delivered d lectures on ED n sales/Service taxes… thanks to Desai sir, half of those things i already knew …still it helped in clearing many basic concepts for sure…(the clarity tht Mr. Malani hd in his concepts ws really appreciable….specially with his over all look… i.e. white beard n shirt out … he ws very unlike siemens…. jus lyk his knowledge…. )

the later day we hd a lecture on communication skills @ tip top plaza hotel… Mr. Sunil …whoz Lata’s hubby(thinking who d Lata is??… well…am as clueless as u all.. but thts wt ws thr in his intro) took a day long session on communication skills…(2nd guy wid white beard in 2 days…. prty strange in siemens coz am the only person wid beard in entire Transformer…) but wat ws evn strange here, tht none of us got bored in this entire day which was rather expected in any communication seminars…his command on laguage… his lyf exp…skill of evaluating, judging evry person, evry incidances in lyf… n sply the Funda of “gifting Urself” on evry small lil achievment which in future reminds al such goldn memories….all this ws worth adapting…. also thanks to Ashish Khadse(agru Part 2) who  was unknowingly making fun of himself wid his innocent interaction wid sunil (thank god he ws not thr in SP-Mech… he saved us from making so many sins )  not to forget the 5course lunch n brekfast @ tiptop plaza,along wid dhaval’s PTV jokes(ths guy dhaval is not 4m PTV but he hs spent lot of tym wid this ppl…. hence the talent)

thn d very awaited saturday session on marketting skills strtd @ 9 @ worli…al wer excited coz of the interesting topic… but the entire day got wasted in the stupid FMCG marketing techniques explaind by a doctor… crap… a total fiasco…his stupid jokes n fundas(ths 50 yr old doc ,

thinks Maruti SX4 is ovrprized…

dosnt kno anythin about bikes…

neva buys a brand he lyks d most jus bcoz the tht perfume bottle got spilled in his bag…

 dosnt lyk TATA vehicles including SAFARI

calls Scorpio as SUV n rates Scorpio above Innova

i really dnt understand wt made our HR to chooose him as a marketing xpert… (jus a anothr evidance proving HR n Logic neva go 2gethr)

the only person who dint get bored tht day ws d Doc himself coz he made more money thn wt Siemens paid him 4 one day by collectin 50 Rs from evry late comer after tea break…(i jus hope our VP dsnt read ths )

tho we hd a gr8 fun downstairs, al thanks to Harshal n Shailesh Shere (lets not get into wt ws the topic of fun…  harshal wud kill me if i rite nething on net)

al in al …TES 2 ws a gr8 stress buster… meetin ppl.. makin nu frnds.. goin diff places…knowin lyf on a serious note… evrythin helpd for the much needed break on the season…. one thing is sure if Siemens wants GTE to stay wid thm for long….more n more such seminar must be arranged… thts a msg to al HR who anyways dnt listen to us…

P.S. : i dint comment on the lunch tht v hd @ kalwa works… js bcoz it ws not worth mentioning… hehehhe

road lyf…

no no ppl… am not talkin abt mahdur bhandarkar’s Traffic signal…nor abt FOOTPATH…. its abt those gudol dayz wen the day used to start wid kick and a gear shift…

yest i went to ameya’s place…actully i cud have gone by train as i was comin from office…but i decided to go on bike( damn….how cn i evn think of goin by train wen my bikes thr… this daily Airoli trip is makin me sick) …i took my helmet out n… man….. it was al covered with cobwebs inside out…makin me realise how loong has it been on highway… this 45 mins journey to Vileparle made me soo nostalgic abt the dayz wen goin to coll ws jus an xcuse to ride the bikiee

i startd takin my bike to coll in third yr tho i bought it in 2nd yr… an yr long took me again the confidence to hit the western express highway…. credit goes to my sis without her forget riding evn buying bike ws not poss..she only convienced mom n dad for the bike stuff…thn came the diff part of choosing wch 1 to buy… but without much hasitation al decide don HONDA… Unicorn ….. my black beuty

i wont talk abt learning bike coz it ws a yr long journey… so will jump to the 1t day wen i took my bike to coll….i rem…thr ws a DME viva…n BEST ws on strike…tht cudnt be an xcuse as neithr me nor my sis used to go by bus… but i chose tht day to take my bike to coll… me n my sis …. tht ws the only day wen i took S.V Road…bloody…. riding on SV road is as boring as attending “communicattion meetings” in Siemens…..

soon bike bacme the reason to go to coll… wiping bike in the morning…. wearing tht BANDANA n goggle…

makin tau pay for the petrol…(bichari tau)

waiting under the flyover…or those rare trees on high way whr al bikers stop n wear helmet…

setting hair in the coll parkin lot…

cleanin bike with som1 else’s cloth …

sharing daily riding xperinces with bhoite n ameya..( according to us….we are the only sane riders in this world)

trying to put the main stand on while sittin on a bike…

computing average of bike after evry 6months n feelin proud wen it exceeds 55

al these things i’ll neva forget…there hd been few unfortunate accidents also… but i came outa it safely… (i cnt forgive myself wen i sliped on bandra junction with my sis ws with me… luckily nothin happend to her… but after that day i neva exceed 50 ka speed with my sis)

but thn… sis got married… i missed her a lot while goin 2 coll alone in the morn… thn came the Siemens thing…  n riding almost became a sunday activity… shyaa…

lessons of lyf

for al working ppl… cribing is the day 2 day activity.. b it abt ur boss..ur job… local trains… etc etc..

our domain of entire day is limited upto the irritating rickshaw stand fights… stinckin ppl in local trains… arguments wid bus conductors ovr change.. etc. thts how v describe our day.

but,,, 

hav u ever noticed rainbows of the spilled petrol on the wet roads??

n the street lights on a rainy night wch makes us wonder is the sky rainin or is it those lights tht shower??

or the power lines along side the railway track wch come close n again diverge in thr own rythm from a moving train??

well….u must hav seen thm…but rarely njoyd thm. y?? bcoz v ourself hs creatd defination of havin fun in our mind…. n v sumhow 4get 2 pull the fun out of things wch may appear very small n not evn close 2 our pre-defined “fun”.

well guys… dnt wait for ne humar or wit 2 come up…. ths topic isnt those regular types…. its for those who mite hv 4gottn the way to njoy the lyf.

my nu job hs tought me a lota things 4 sure…..but initially it felt as if am goin farthr farthr away 4m the gud ol “fun” dayz. no training….on the job 4m the very 1st day… typical boss… no frnds around… couligues not ready 2 b frnds….n top of al…tremendous work load. lyf ws totally messed up. the journeys from office 2 home wer gettin more n more difficult…physically n psychologically as well.

but wen lyf takes evrythin 4m u …it in a way, leaves u in a company of urself … it brings u closer 2 the inner u… n the things wt it teaches u, r worthy thn ne masters course. n thts the tym wen colors of petrol, raining street lights n closing powerlines draws ur attention. the same thing happend wid me.

travellin tym… late workin issuies got settld down. things for wch v used 2 crib…hv now bcme the sourse of fun. makin fun of our own probs is the best way 2 handle thm i feel. stupid convo wid arshat n komel hv bcome the daily sourse of entertainmnt. monster boss is now the figure of curse… short tea brks hv bcum the nxt imp thing after the post-lunch walks. popin emails pops up the fun durin stressed workin hrs. cursing core industry n praising softwre n the ppl in it hs proved 2 be the best  de-stressing option.n the teletalks wid diff vendors lightns the wrkng atmosphere… deepaks convos with his vendors further brings the crisp…

now the irritatin rikshaw wala r the obj of disscussing crickt… stinkin public in trains makes u conrol ur breaths better thn baba raamdev… n the fights wid conductor ovr change gives me tht xtra kink in the routine lyf;)

The Italian Job

(dnt get confusd wid the title…hs nothin 2 do wid sonia gandhi’s italian connections) 

wht a weekend it ws… seemd lyk the racing season of 2004 is bck..the only diff ws … schumi n barri wer replcd by kimi n massa.

on sat..in moto GP…doctor showd his class again… on his fiat-yamaha tead, doin not so well so far, he managed a victory at Assen(ned). it ws sheere driving skill tht took him on podium. he startd off from the 4th row n did wht his best at. stoner still is 21 pts ahead of doc in world champ standin but he cn still manage( remem…its moto GP..n not F1, whr 21 pts lead almost asures u tht WC tag )

 talkin abt F1… again it ws italy who lead the front by its 1-2 finish at french GP. ferrari after 11 months managed 1-2 victory( yup..last tym it ws in germany 2006 i reakon)

but a ferrari victory at france is alwayin pleasing(remem last tym schumi held renault-michellin’s winnin hourses at france GP??… n yr b4 tht wen Barri ovrtook Trulli on the last corver of last lap n managd the podium finish??… frnch GP alwayz brought best outa us… i mean ferrari here ….hhehhe) n if it is 1-2 thn… tym 4 celebratns;)

massa who lead from the start n who managed 2 get kimi bhind him, blockin hamilton who ws 2nd on the grid. kimi later controlld the pace of mclarein n evn managd 2 get in frnt of massa after 2nd pits stop. ( thnx 2 ferrari strategy… who put kimi on 2 stop strategy after confirming the wheathr) hamilton sadly hd 2 stop thrice for pit n still managd the 3rd plc n 8th consecitive podium finish in his debut season.

much talks r goin around abt hamiltons driving skills being ovrshadowing alonso’s performance. but acco 2 me hamilton hs not shown his so calld “skills” newhr in ths season… its jus tht he hs a best car n he knos how 2 driv it. wid not a single race without front row grid he hs neva evn ovrtakn ne drivr… he jus goes light on the machinery n manages the podium finish…alonso, on the othr hand, hs shown his champ qualities evry tym in ovrtakin or pressurisin while attemptin overtake. he is a true spaninard… he jus neva gives up ( lyk tht blooooody Rafa Nadal…. who still is crusin in wimbledon….hopin 2 beat Feddi ths tym around in semis…haaaaaa)

newayzz…lets hope,v’ wl get 2 c hamiltons skills wid his home britesh GP scheduled ths wekend n wid ferrari bck in form!!

PL

sem 8 exams wl soon get over… ths wl probably be my last exam 2 study hard i guess( heard tht 4 MBA  u  cn  buy books evn 1 day b4 exam n servive…unlike engg.. in engg u must xrox book atleast 2 dayz b4 )

to talk abt engg studies…. it dsnt alwayz take lot of hard work…its more of smart work(wch i realizd qte late…so cudnt score much ) but yess al tht u dnt do in reg coll dayz(i.e. both studying and attendin coll …thts bcoz i go 2 coll 2 study), u hv to do tht in PL(Preparation Leave….i.e. tym given for engg students jus b4 exams 2 buy syllabus copies n resp books 2 study during exams)

till sem 4 i used 2 seat at home n do the so calld “study”. wch wsnt really payin off ..so later i decided 2 go to coll n do the group study…. ths ws a nu concept discoverd n developed by us (i.e. me, ameya, bhoite, n the list went till hitesh, bhai in sem 8— waise, abhal n shrads statd it..but no 1 calls tht as grp study( god knos y))     V, the budch of not so gud at self study ppl, startd cumin 2 coll n do the studyin n more ovr v  kept ourself updated wid al the nu study material( i.e. most of the tyms xroxs from diff profs from al diff coll… i.e. bcoz material from profs of  SP( No. 1 coll 2day in mum) is hardly reliable)

so v hd to get it from else whr( using the alwayz helpful PR skills)… n  get it xroxd… n rest of d janta used to take thm from us. but study isnt the only thing v do in PL…lemmi describe other things wht v did n learnt in PL

- neva park ur bike inside coll campus in PL…ur fatka(wippin cloth)  wl get stolen

- take a sweet nap in d afternoon

- take min 1 hr tea break in d eve n hv buttr toast wid special(adrak wali–as said by bhai) chai…

- if 2nd floor classrooms r closd, thn go home….no point in studyin in civil class room…. most pathetic place 2 study

- if ne hot chic(tho ths is a hypothetical concept in SPC..thr r few gals who’ll definately distract u ….mech ppl kno whom i am ref to;) ) is seatin in ur class chng ur room.

- maulik gala kisna only adds up 2 nuisance… beta not 2 do ne imp topic tht day

-dnt let bhoite do ne calc n bargains at xrox shop…. u mite end up payin more thn usual( no wonder he cleard maths 3 in 3rd attemp)

- dnt login ur orkut acc in raul sirs cabin( victms… gala, bhavesh)

-do watch you-tube videos in raul sirs cabin… jus make sure he dsnt come 2 kno abt it

-take a brk on sundays as coll quad is usualy busy wid diff social activities lym get2gethr, prize distrbtn, classical muzik etc.

- do peep in the near by bushes while leaving late… u mite get lucky

al tht n wat not…grp…rather coll study… did helpd me n al of us a lot in many wayz.. it not only helpd us2 get bettr scores but it also brought us close 2 each other…i still remember how v used 2 luk at bhavesh n his grp b4 v actually get 2 kno thm… v al colll studyin ppl hd a special bondin in its own way.  in PL, no1 ws smarter or scholar… each 1 of us hd our own strengths n weeknesses . n the best thing ws v al knw abt each others strength. PL prep also brought us close 2 faculty n staff members. in sem 8, wen al othr classes used 2 closd, RAUL sir allowd us 2 use his AC cabin…evn after the workin hrs he used 2 give the keys 2 us n thn go home.. wht a prof he is.. n staff members lyk vasant n anil used to think tht v ppl r doin sum serious business n usd 2 treat us special evn after exam dayz

PL ws n wl b a spl part of our coll lyf… part wen v spent max daily tym(i rem leavin at 11.30 doin DME prep in 7th sem n reachd home at 12.30) in coll…( no wonder nite-shift watchman knos us by name n morg person asks for our id)

after al tht praising …i jus hope i do well in last sem.. hehehe

shri siddhivinayak maharaj ki jay…

for a person goin 2 siddhivinay temple ths lines r not new.  evn am one of the fortunate ones to hv such opportunities evry tuesday. (no need 2 drop tht jaw…. goin 2 siddhivinayak temple on tuesdays isnt tht gr8…sply if u stay at dadar n if u stand in “common darshan” queue.  it hardly takes 30 mins.  so its not abt havin sparing tym..al u need is devotion n faith)

 well i startd goin 2 sidhi’ temple 4 yrs back wen my HSC results wer awaiting(jus lyk thousands of u…i ws scard tl deth) . but thn sumhow i continued goin thr evry tuesday.

blive me guyzz…goin 2 siddhivinayak evry tuesday is lot of fun… evrytym new new surprises r waitin for u…b it ever changing entrances or queues lined up in diff wayz or the most famous “security sys” @ temple.

seriously yaar…. the security sys @ temple is a sub worth doin PHD in. automatic closing shutters (godrej made) r made jus 2 afraid the devotees( maaan…thy r sooo damn unpredictable… coz thy cum wid 4 sensers… tht hs made thm so damn sensitive… no wonder after installin thm lot of old devotees count ws reduced) . Then comes the bodycheck by constable… (god knos wht thy chk for….sply wen thy chk ur legs wid metal delectors…evn wen u come in shorts haaaa ) .  thn thy hv the “chappal stand” whr u’ll neva successed without havin a fight. ( seriously man….if u c the xpressions of ppl after successfully gettin, a stand no without being touchd by ne1’s footware…. it seems as if thy hv won d WC..tht 2 by beatin brazil in final )

the battle is not over yet… as sooon as u enter the temple… u’ll b told…”chalo…aage badho…baaki log ko bhi darshan lene do” …. man these “baki log” neva let u c the lord ganesh’s idol peacefully… moreover, ppl inside GABHARA keep thr trays wid flower n al on the top…. so  short ppl hardly get the glimps of the lord. tall ppl njoy the arial view( the only tym whr i feel proud of the ht i hv) … thn after collectin ur footwear(wch agin is equally diff as keepin thm) u stand in “prasad” line whr again u’ll get it after a lot of stretchin done thts al… al done ( no wonder ppl after comin out again thnk god 4 safely gettin thm out ) 

no.. but jokes apart..al the security n safety provisions r beeen made 4 our own protection…. temple being top listd on terririst attack, evry possble precaution must be takn. but ppl usually misunderstood it n blame it as mis-managemnt. sply the safety wall built outside..tho it causes hell lot of difficulties for residents in peripheral societies( man u shud c the way thy bring thr cars in… it bloody takes min 20 mins for thm…isnt tht riddiculasly irritatin??… sply wen u cnt do anythin agaisnt it)

well …wht cn v say on tht…. lord’s wish… but as far as my wishes r concernd… lot of thm r fufilld… siddhivinayak maharaj ki jay!!!!

RAJASTHAN

its been almost a week now since v r back 4m rajasthan, n altho thr is lot 2 write abt tht i cudnt write 4 ths long jus bcoz of the post trip hangovr (not the alkoholic one)

the BE INDUSTRIAL VISIT cum TRIP ws scheduled 4m 9th-16th march after a much hallagullaa coz few ppl wantd 2 go 2 north-east whr v wer expectd 2 spend 60+60 hrs of travellin in train (considerin indian railwayz reputation ths tym period may get extended to 90 or evn more no of hrs) so after d much discussion d destination ws fixd… “The Rajasthan”

just as per schedule v al reachd bandra station b4 tym (1pm) n caught “suryanagri exp”. n soon v realised tht digicams wid lots of memory in hand n fully chargd batteries cn push a normal humanbeing 2 insanity.  ppl carryin digicams startd showing trh talent of photography n others help thm by posing 4 it. no wonder the total captured material went upto 15 GBs at the end.

the train hardly took ne halts including d one at AHEMADABAD wer v al got down n made our existance felt. (v evn clickd a snap in front of jammu-tavi exp wch ws about 2 start Passengers  with mediocre sense of humor dint lyk the exploding source of positivity n thy showd sum resistance against it ( i mean those bloooody @$#$@% filed a complaint against us to  the stationmaster )

v reachd JODHPUR at 9.30 morng. station parkin lot was totally empy (yeaa…..shockin but true) evn rikshaws wer standing empty. rajasthani rikshaws r d most colorful of thm al. jus lyk thr BANDHANI fabrics. paintd flowry designs insideout. evn d  seatcovers wer eqully colorful.

the hotel “BENIWAL PALACE” ws desently gud.  ideally designd 4 playin al kinda pranks as v did ( it wsnt a prank actually … ws rather a KAND)  after a much sightseeing of plalaces n mahals in jodhpur nxt day v moved 2 JAISELMER. the bus journey ws truely memorable. courtesy- sand storm… rain…n (most imp) HASE. ( who sat on hotseat 4 almost 3 looooooong hrs… fully fustrated… n finallly decided 2 sleep 2 avoid further HAGNA of his.

rains n sandstorm dropd down the temp 2 almost 10 deg n v experiencd kashmir in rajasthan. the MAHADEV PALACE hotel ws truely awesome hs hd a swiming pool with shivering chilled water. tho ppl jumpd into it few smart asses(includin me) decided 2 stay away 4m it

JAISELMER is situated in a desert area. so nxt day, after the univited rains wer stopd, v moved 2 SAND DUNES(most excitin of al) thr v hd a camel ride (bloooooody our camel ws so in hurry.. he ws almost runnin.. n bloody almost crushed my ****)  thn suddenly the gravity came into the picture.  all sufferd the attaks of gravity by us (xception me, despo, n bb… sumhow managd 2 escape tho v wer d 1s who startd al ths ) garvity followd by rollin ovr the sands. all these acivities made other tourists (n evn the localites) sooo damn horrified and scared tht  if ne1 finds few of us around, doin nothin must hv skippd his heart beat for sure. evn d camels used to ran away seeing us around. the person who tried 2 ran away 4m gravity i.e. navin, ws punishd badly wid evry1 kickin his ass not once, nor twice but thrice tht eve. poor chap.  4 SAAL KI BHADAAS NIKALI SAB LOG NE.

newayzz ….thn happnd the GRAND HISTORIC PHOTOFESTIVAL. actually the idea ws to show others the KAAND tht v did at jodhpur but to give it grand luk v potrayd it as a photo fest the event ws a grand success….bigger than wat v hd thot of. al 35 guyz wer present on our room no 207.  The room members playd diff roles… lyk bhoite operatd the cam thing… bibin ws kept as a bouncer to avoid ne diff situation. thn lamda ws a torch guy…he showd seats to al ticktholder n myself..i hostd the show. i described al the snaps… thn v discussed the thots bhind thm..also the hidden meanin… etc etc… it ws a gr8 fun…appreciated by al.

b4 al this ppl wer busy wid thr own grps, but our photo fest broke al d grp barriers n brought of al us under 1 grp. it really helpd in uniting grp spirit.

the jouney from jaiselmer to bikaner ws total fun again. whr althe marrages took place (courtesy-hase ,jags, bhoite, rucha… n the pandit: suril shah ) wch latter turnd bck on me a lil bit but escapd safely.

in bikaner the entire scenario chngd. ppl wer not lettin us ( thr room members i.e.) spend time 2gethr alone. thy mite b thinkin tht v’ll play sum KAAND on thm 2. evn the gals startd 2 watch television at our room. shockin.

the last nite at bikaner ws also full of fun. whr v playd the DARE game. evry1 hd 2 do things suggestd by others. performances by aakash, hase, gala, bhai wer simply fantabulous.

thn v catchd the return train 4m bikaner to mumbai nxt mornin.  return journey ws lil stressful due 2 many reasons…not 2 be dicussed here. but it really made an impact on al of us.

but overal…. the trip ws a grand fun event… words wudnt be enough to describe it. i startd ths blog a week later d trip n finishd after more than a month now. tht says it al. the trip ws the highlight of the entire engg carrier. it playd the role of a desert after a 4 course meal( 4 course stands for 4 yrs of engg ) wateva v do in future…howeva interestin trips v plan in future…  v al wl remembr n cherish al d memories of rajasthan…..

al sweet memories of RAJASTHAN.
