Beyond Horizons...

Pra, Happy B'Day dear!! You still look amazingly fabulous and stunning. Hope to say this line on all your birthdays. Wish you many youthful years ahead. Why god? Why are you doing this to my friends? :) - Joey Style PS: Was always brilliant at 'History' in school, however its repetitively failing me these days.

I should have remembered this :( When its about you, who would know better than you? *Moms are anyway an exception for this, they know everything. Janata(People) will anyway have an opinion about you someway or the other. It does not matter what color it is, some say its good, some will also say its disastrous choice. In the end only thing mattes is what do 'you' feel about it. Dude, your choice matters, do remember this. ALWAYS.

There are 365 days in a year. You have Sundays off, Public holidays/National holidays are yours. The place you work will have some policy so that you get around 30-40 leaves in your kitty. And still you look forward for a 'Voting day' as an opportunity to take a rest at home? come on....The day comes once in 5 Years. 38-40% of Indian population anyway wont be able to cast their vote/opinion(below 18), So 60%are left to give a shape to nations leadership. Of this not even 50% place their vote. Consider 5% of people(of 30%) who vote are from political parties/relatives/alliances etc. At least they are doing it for their survival. So actually around 20-25% of people in India decides for 100% of the population. And after all this we expect change in our country. How can you expect a change without actually being a part of it? When asked, some people actually gave reasons for not casting a vote..Polling Booth was not closer by, Not interested, Why, not worth, long wait. Ahhh..... ...

Does title indicative enough that I am talking about Mumbai? City which is known for not sleeping at all. Just wondering when, how, what, who made this statement? Because today was second time I saw this city sleeping. If Mumbai is CST Railway station, or a major market place like Dadar then what is being said is true. Two months back I went to Mumbai International Airport to receive my friend who had connecting flight to Bangalore at around 3 AM. After his flight took off I was actually thinking of travelling back home, but deserted roads at Santacruz made me wait till 5 AM. Even at 5 AM roads were empty, at around 5:30 day was seemed to be on a roll. and today it took only 45-50 mins for me to drive till office from home, which in a daytime nothing less than 2.5-3 hours. How is it possible if this city is not sleeping? My journeys till date have happened most of the times in the night and I can tell for sure that any place which can be vaguely defined as town is up by 5:30 or 6 in th...

Oh Yes!! I have started 'hitting' a gym :) Two years of a dream to join a gym has finally become a reality. Not that I am a fitness freak, but marks left on my tissues of all eat-outs that I have done past two years needs to be cleaned up. Also another reason to join gym was I always wanted to see all those work-out instruments and use it.... just for fun. and believe me its really a fun. Its been four months I have come to this city and it took me so long to decide to go for gymming because I start my day at 6:30 AM and it ends at 10-10:30PM. Where possibly could I fit my gym schedule? My day here was short, now its shorter with the addition of one more activity. Its 5 AM when I wake up these days. Hope to continue this for some time. If not work-out, at least fancy gym-wear of Adidas will keep me going :) I guess I am happier when I am 'putting on' this gym-wear than when I am 'putting off' those extra calories. Take care all! Be fit and Be healthy!

'Mere desh me paisa sirf paisa nahi hai....' Translated as 'In my country money is not only money' moreover to imply in my country money not only gives monetary value but lot more than that.These are the lines from the commercial flashing on TV few days for now for one of the Indian Banks. This advertisement shows emotional, cultural colors and values attached to money. Would prefer not to comment on the bank however their promotion on TV is well featured. I liked it. Ad features many thing like a brother-sister play at the time of rakshabandhan, an old man performing some art with coins, many hands exchanging money at different places. But the one thing I liked most was a small kid not even a year old looks at a coin in hand and suddenly his eyes brighten up, good click. By the way , Happy New Year all!!

Gone are the days of burning late night oil for movies and even more late mornings. To see a sunrise used to be a beautiful dream. and least I expected this dream to come true, but as they say 'Dreams come true for those who has dreams' ;) Good (really???) to fulfill this dream of mine. So Waking early in the morning is no more surprise these days (actually earning my bread and butter makes me do that) However morning today brought an ear to ear smile on my face as yet another dream came true for me. Its been two weeks I was planning to jog early morning. Yes I jogged, I ran for almost three kms and took a walk for another two. It was awesome. Realising that I can run, I can actually run for quite a distance makes me feel fantastic. Hope to continue this in coming days, if not seven days a week at least for 3-4 days a week. I guess feel good factor of today will keep me running. Lets see... Oh yes, Merry Christmas all. Enjoy the holiday season!!!
