Beyond Horizons...

Recently read a blog on 'Best Friends Wedding' Expressive, true and touching. Very Nice. After writing a blog on my friends wedding last year, somewhere I thought maybe I will write it for everyone in my group. Somehow it did not 'clicked'. This is the second idea apart from sending common mails on B'day , which has ahead of its time and failed to lure its audience. Not to worry, for sure new ideas will keep coming from this vegabond mind.

Have heard lot about them but always wanted to meet this species. Specially those who visited uncle Sam's country. Visual appearance is similar to that of other software professionals but you will find random changes in behaviour. Suddenly all reference points come all the way from America. 'Clubs', Alcohol, Turky, cheese etc are hot topics of discussion. Hygiene becomes so important that they eat panipuri in swanky shopping mall. Too much.Appreciating their life, things, 'culture' can be totally understood but you dont have to badmouth of things which are here. That's a lame. Happen to meet someone in recent times. He was telling, Indian cars does not seems to be safe now. He wanted an air-bag in it. Huhhh?? 26 years of his life the person has spent in Mumbai, travelling in Local train and bus. Fact apart that today in Mumbai, person who is relaxing in the back-seat of the lavish car feels as unsafe as person who is hanging out of the bus/train. By the way not ...

Shining, sparkling diwali time is here which gives one another reason for people to celebrate beside positive global 'cues' ;) Everyone else is celebrating so why not my colleagues? They have decided to celebrate 'Traditional Day' in office today. This has forced an un-traditional day on me...Wearing a sari in office? Not a that big deal of wearing it in office. Big deal to carry it from all the way home till office(Involves crossing at Kurla) Ahhh that was quite adventurous. Did it anyway :) Hats off to all those brave ones who do this daily in city like Mumbai. Today reminds me of two historic days when I wore sari, one long time back placement time in my B-school and recent one was my brothers wedding. Dude, you need to catch up... Happy Diwali to you!! All pretty ladies and handsome gentlemen. Have a healthy, wealthy and peaceful time ahead. Hon, may all your wishes come true. Love all,

Has anyone seen Wimbledon Men's singles final this time, it was fantastic. Fantastic fight for the grand slam between Federer and Roddick. Roddick made a mockery of all those who were saying Roger Federer was clear easy winner. So what Roddick dint win this match he made Federer fight for this title for five sets in longest final by games. It was 2004 when I first saw Roddick's game, he was very strong on his serves that time. Since then I am his fan. I missed his play last year but this Wimbledon was good to watch. I liked the comment which he made after the heartbreak loss, 'There are two options for me now just lay down or just keep going, later seems to be better'. After seeing his improved game people think Roddick is finally getting set in his game, but I think he has just started discovering his play... Its mid of July and still I can't say that monsoon has started here. Such a delay! Though last 3-4 days it rained for a while...and what I see? Roads in Mumba...

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..... ...
