Desi??

Saturday I went for the mumbike... I feel i should ride more just to free my mind... but this ride was different.. it made me think...

As usual i stopped to visit the ganapati temple in Mahad... and there i saw a board urging people to buy swadesi products... it was enough to stir the thought process...

I am proud to be an indian... but what about the desi products?? am i indian enough?? i had no doubt about that... but the doubt seeks proof and i looked at myself for confirmation... i was appalled to see that none seemed pure indian...

My shoes... socks.. cap... backpack.. watch... jeans... t shirt... jacket... even underwear ... not to forget my beloved bike... with honda covering half of the name, it cant be....

One thing i know when the mind starts guilt parades on you... create a dilemma... i started searching for something Indian.. i found something... a Karma T shirt... it's indian... and why not non Indian brands when they are made in India... infact i am the person who bought "Made in India" shirt from US...

The dilemma did the trick... my mind left me alone with the meagre issue of my life...like marriage..


today some bay decoration theme in office which showed India as a superpower made me think again...

I googled "Karma T shirt company"

What i found in the results ... none of them was Indian...

Only this time my mind had only one emotion to spare... smile...:D

Less Confusion... :)

Today Am sitting with my HD205 and thinking what are my priorities in the life and what the should be...

Surely I was confused a week before but thee ae some less confusion this time...

To begin with about the new ride... and now am sure about it.. Am going for the legend... So many people trying to convince me that... now that it'll be my Farewell to youth soon so it's most probably last bike i'll own so Let's go for the legend...


Neways the Second is the pact... It turned out to be a Joke... A joke by one of my friends.. Revealed on the Bday couple of days back (no poem this time though)... and I don't know what i should've felt but currently I feel nothing... May be i got over it too soon... But i know what i did... I confused someone a lot :D.. confusing a conused character cannot be counted against me but still I think i should've kept confusion to a minimum and should've cleared some things but i was too appalled to do that... don't know if there will be other opportunity for that..


And about other things in life... they are as boring as possible... just a hope of a hike is twinkling this time ... and just for an update... the development plans are in the next stage... just a financial approval is needed...

Even some plans for my marriage this week but am buying the legend and it's no less than a wife so cannot comment on it... some recent unusual developments in the pact can be a brake or am recovered so much to even bother... don't know yet. only time can be the best judge...

A long awaited project event was a thing to remember and I did well in all depts... Highest scorer with 131 score in bowling... and i can always perform in the dancing front, this night was no different... Ended event with songs and shayaries... only i could not remember my shayaries.. neways not a dard e dil these days so that explains it...

So here i am.... just looking at a void hoping for the best..

Confused?

2nd Dec :
Sometimes a single inspiration is enough to put down your thoughts on to something and sometimes many inspirations cannot be equated with that single one..... From my last post I had many such inspirations. A long awaited trip.... A god in the making... and a distinct blog.... Today am writing and the inspiration is the "marriage".... not mine and not anyone else's but the word marriage...

Confused right??

To start with wrote many blog entries but scrapped them away.. am not giving any updates about me here... It's just a keeping track of my thoughts...

couple months back i was simply wanted to marry first girl i'll see when i and in India.. i really felt a desperation... the loneliness... and why not I was very far from my relatives, friends,from a little world i knew so far.... this time i really can confirm that swapnil told me about sites.... They make you feel alone...


Anyways once i was back... I just didn't care about marriages anymore... actually i didnt care about anything, until everyone around me started marrying.... Man and here i am with no intentions of getting married in near future... What can i say ... am confused... :D

A new beginning

Last time when I wrote the blog it was really different Situation that time i thought its just for a change... but now when i look back... it was jut a beginning

To start with there was a penn alibaug picnic with the Awala Supari mandal.. It's always good to go back with them to Penn.... this time with a new member... Even went to Alibaug... for a lovely Sea food treat...

Followed by a lonavala picnic with the Uman grp.... Sometimes they fight... but it's always good to see them together. A planned picnic for Raja and his newly wed wife who could not make it in the end.. I made it there on a Bike..

Then came the Pachgani, Mahabaleshwar, pratapgadh bike trip with Gooda... that was Much awaited one..One night we realised me and gooda are on leave for the next 2 days... so we got our bike and left for Mahabaleshwar... It was a good journey ... but after a while we got bored to the rain and the fog.... And there is a Lesson learned....bachelors should never go to Hill station ;)

From Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani and PratapGadh

After only 2 days, on a sick leave we trekked purandar... We planned @ 1 pm.... left home @ 2, reached there @ 5.... It's an army area these days so it was supposed to be closed @ 6... still we decided to trek and finally we reached entrance @ 5.30... not bad huh.... But we could'nt see a thing due to the fog... :(

From Purandar Fort

Then came the much awaited Rajgadh Picnic... It was really goood trek except for 2 things.. Lost my mobile and something unexplainable... :D I really miss my K750 though... Still Was an unforgettable experience to visit the first capital...

From Rajgadh

Next sunday was friendship day and it was really gr8 night with Awala Supari once again.... It was so good that I canceled my own plan to go to Lohgad very next day.... Dont even know when i'lll visit Lohgad... No regrats as in just couple of calls we got together and celebrated the Friendship Day....

Then got the VISA power... Unexpectedly... Which I believed @ the wrong time...

There were days when i was simply disconnected... Woke up morning and found myself connected... Even ridwan bought alappy now... so we dont talk these days.. We chat.... :D

then came the Swine Flue threat.... But i simply dont feel threatened... It just made me take some precautions that's it..

A long forgotten land and development plans for it.. The stability is creeping into my life but yeh dil hai ke manta nahin..

May be Everything is happening for my own good... So I am simply submitting myself to the things in my life.... That way am just happy with cuurrent things.... And current situation prevents me from sulking...

An old dream surfacing again, May be @ wrong time..... But a dream is a dream...


So many things happeneing in my life.... and even the pact is over... but it simply went on.... not that am stubborn but So many things happening around that just can't get time to think about it.... So dont even know the reason and results of the pact .... @ my side the result is... I am living with my Friends now...

And for the other side "Ignorance is a bliss..." Is true i reckon....

I feel It's Kismat Disconnection... Or whatever, it's working for me though...

PS : If you feel the entry is little out of regular touch.... it's due to the Lack of "dard" in the post today... (May be that's why a shayar is always a dard-e-dil)

An unexpected turn...

It was a gr8 day just after a miserable one...

So many things happened today...

A friend started talking and he asked me to note down the date.. so here it is 12th june 2009...

I felt it so much that i could not even concentrate on work due to happiness..

I even broke the Pact... I thanked for such a wonderful gift... Man someone must be real confusion now....

Neways Saturday am going on a picnic.... after so many days.. it'll be gr8 fun with all the best friends....

And Even i got my checkpoint done... so i got some appreciation for the work..

So many things in just one day.... and to top all just ate the gharka sea food to put a cherry on the icing...

May be we VJTIMCAs should write a book... that'll be a really filmy book...

Neways some days back I wrote a some lines..

"Muskurate rahe hum, par aankh me nami reh gayee..
Subkuch paaya humne par zindagi me ek kami reh gayee..."

Today i just wanna sing the opposite...

"life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up...
Isnt this Ironic... Don't you think.."

A GOAL....

Lot of time passed since i last wrote the blog...
I tried lot of times but could not just gather the thoughts... and a pact became the motivation today..

all these months were eventful i reckon ... so many things i did these days and so many things happened to me...

To begin with a failed journey of a lifetime... A plan which made so carefully that the I really felt frustrated after being dumped from it, @ the last moment

That was a really rough start... followed by the danger of losing job... Life was real rough there.. All i was thinking was getting out of that mess...

And then i started taking my list seriously.... A fealing i could never explain..

Started with the Trekking with DVCI trekkers... trek to kamalgadh.. it really tested me..

Then the coffee ... The task was so prominent that i was stuck there for a while.. was still stuck there till now..

Apart from the tasks there were many new things..

Like a new team... a fun loving for a change, after the early days in CM i could not find such atmosphere in my life till i came to this team.. They are waking me for cricket fo a change..

and lotsa Mumbaikes.. now am even thinking about doing mumbike on Activa... let's when i can do it..

I even bought a new Lappy... HCL changed my mind from dell to HCL @ the last moment.. but it's ok.. i hardly use it these days..

Then the value of my mumbai friends... That is a totally different world... a world where i am wanted and loved.. a world full of friendship..

We met in kinara which was memorable in itself with a live fight... have you ever seen a person getting soda bottle banged on his head... Apart from that it was amazing

Akshay is releasing album that is something i am looking forward to, may be i can learn something in sound engineering in the end...

other friends and cousins getting engaged married... and to divert the topic here, My inferences tell me some more are getting engaged...

Noone ever kept silence with me as a part of the pact... that is something i'll never forget...

That brings me to the point.. what do i want in life??..

I always believed in enjoying the lfe to the fullest.. and how can i enjoy life when 2 of my friends whom i consider good friend dont even

trust me..
that is an disturbing feeling i never had in my life... akhir bahot kuch zindagi me pehli baar hota hai.. may be the result will be extending

the pact for the rest of the life.. or may be i am not that stubborn at all...

Also the fact that i dont want to proceed ahead not to sulk in the end and still find myslf in a similar position... may be this time it's

not that worse..
I was prepared after all..

May be sometimes keeping your own life a mystery is not a good idea.. when you are tangled in it.. may be everything happens for a reason....

i dont know the reason at this moment..

The fact is am confused in life... the same part of my life when i was in the graduation.. and did not even know what i wanted to do the very

next day.. may be i'll not stick to only one kind of happyness in the life i'll enjoy it from all perspective... one will be missing though

There a good Quote i came across recently "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door

that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."


The monotonous life does not actually helping me out of it.. may be i know what i need now...

for this moment i'll just finish the list... but I need a lakshya... the goal in my life.. what can it be.. am still searching for that... Wait and watch i'll soon have one..

Mumbike..

Mumbike...

Today for the first time i tried biking for a really long distance..

Thats nearly 200 KM.... From Pune to my place.. And that too after doing a night shift... now that's something i'll never be doing...

Neways Rajesh and me were supposed to start @ 6.30 am but started @ 9.15 (Ohh god... yeh Gooda bhi na)

BTW It was the trailer of the next picnic.... Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost

Here's my picture which was taken on top of Express way in Lonavala



On the way We visited one of the Ashtavinayak Ganesh temple @ mahad

This was the second time i came here on a bike..

And this was the second time i got a bad coconut which is a really good omen.. Auspicious start to my long bikings trips

Finished trip within 4.5 hours... So home for a really good lunch within time...

And was just writing this when Akshay brought my long back ordered SE headphones.. I wasnt expecting HPM-85.. It's a steal @ 550/-...

So just going to sleep With a really good headphones with good music.. bye.....

Get Set Go.... Love All....

From many days I was thinking about a Blog... Did not have a motivation to start it till now..

Now my life is frustrating enough to provide me a motivation...

So lets start a blog... oh what a lovely thing to do...

If you think i am Sarcastic... cant help it.. I am a Malvani... B-)

May be i have attitude.... Cant help it either... am Marathi...

Well these days i want to try so many things which get confused a lot..

So i decide to confuse others.. :D

actualy, instead of confusing myself... started a blog to put down some of those things..
