Bangalore Rounds

Image
Happy days of Diwali are still continued as Mom and Dad are there in Bangalore to accompany me. Both of them have their own interests to come down here. Mom has come here to accomplish her mission of feeding me and make me look as round as football. and dad has come to explore the city. Last 15 days I have truly helped my mom achieving her GOAL/GOOOOOL, by eating whenever it is served (Irrespective of what and how much...). I dint even try to resist her, yummmmmn food dint allow me to. Now time was to fulfill dads wish to roam around the city. BMTC(Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) initiative of 'Bangalore Rounds' to take tourists around the city was sorted out as an option. It requires seats to be reserved prior to journey day, and due to time and distance constraint I could not reserve seats. So I decided to go directly and try journey on same day, else Back up plan was to take the responsibility on my shoulders and take them around the city. Unfortunately my shou

Sparkling Diwali

Bright, colorful, joyful, little bit sweet little bit chatpati, sparkling diwali. One of the festival I fully enjoy. This years diwali celebration was like much awaiting moment for me. Past three years I could not enjoy it for so many reasons.Missed so much my family during all those years. Eventhough I did not do anything special on this diwali, being with family only became grand celebration in itself. There were days when we (My brother, all cousines and I) used to start our diwali celebration some 10 days beofore and continue even after 10 days of the festival. Diwali celebration has some 5 significant days associated, which I would not like to get into. for me its a celebration of true joy. The celebration in childhood used include shopping of clothes, preparing of Aakashkandil(Fancy lantern displayed at door at the time of diwali), shopping of crackers, making many plans of summer vacation, eating, talking, fighting, roaming around, so much of masti. My granny used to wake all of

Twists and Turns

"When it hasn’t been your day, your week your month or even your year, I’ll be there for you…" My friends say I perfectly fit these famous 'Friends' title lyrics, I feel proud to hear that, and its true that I always wish to be there with each of my friend and I will. Its not about ALWAYS supporting their actions/decisions/reasoning, its about supporting them inside to take a call for themselves against What may come. We always believe rather EXPECT the life to come in a certain way, I am no exception and I guess nobody is. This form our assumptions, assumptions about ourselves, people around, situations and many more things. As long as life comes the way we expect its smooth and acceptable. Actually 'life' is too strong word for me here though true (I don't believe in being EXTREME for anything) but still I'll prefer using 'things' instead. But when things dint work out the way we expect instability is created inside as well as outside and thi

Winning

People say some questions are meant to be unanswered, and some people accept this also. But for a person like me who strongly believe in REASONING, its hard to believe that Things happen without reason, Questions remain unanswered, Disccussions hang without conclusions, Battle finishes without results. Why do one have to always wait for the RIGHT result? Why do one have to convince himself/herslf about the current result saying, "Have patience right result will come through your way because you deserve it". If someone deserves it and everyone else knows it why that cant simply happen in the first place itself? Everyday I wake up in the morning thinking I am going to 'Value ADD' this much to my life today. But most of the time day ends with, me trying to keep the value which I have already created for myself. Why do I always have to wait for the things which I know I DESERVE and I CAN get. Why do I try to convince myself that may be what I DESIRE now is less than

World of Corporates!!!

I was wondering is it only "The Deal" and "The Competition" that corporates worry about, as picturized in the movie "Corporate" But now me being a part of corporates I can say for sure that if not all but major part of it involves, bagging a deal, sustain the competition and winning the bid. The differentiating factor among several bidders and THE WINNER always is understanding of business, either of your own or of a prospect client's. Basically that reflects how good you are at analyzing current and future business situations. But only understanding does not make you the winner. Before that comes a several series of BUSINESS MEETINGS, Early Morning meetings where it supposed to start with 10 members and actually starts with 5 and where every other topic gets heated up from all sides with all AWAKE members. Evening Meetings again gets speed up to finish the work. Does anyone thinking of having 'Afternoon meets' then let me clear, Morning meets

My Friends...My Family...

Kids listen to the stories, but it was different for me when I was a kid. My mom finished all prince/princess,animal kingdom stories when I reached first std, and suddenly I have been asked to make/tell stories of my own. Gone were the days of dreaming abt Palaces,Jungle, Shikari......... I did'nt like it, whole day I used to think abt what story I will be telling to mom & dad in the night (Im still not sure whether I have made any story any day...???). If they like the story, they used to allow me to ask one REASONable demand. Obviously I succeded to make 'countable' demands. But that was the time when my parents taught me to dream, to put right efforts to achieve it, to imagine, to try to make ppl listen....and I assure none of these thing is as good as listening readymade princess story. Then there were days of school/college....rather the days of lots of punishments, total masti, lots of heart-making (rather I'll call it heart breaking...), whole lot of enjoymen
