it all beagan before i knew..n then it awept my feet off...no am not talking about love but the great experience I had with friends and family in the holidaying...in the state of karnataka....Lovely BEACHES, Exotic Cusine---South indian n north indian both--,Wine, Beers, grass, liquor.....can't describe wat it feels....TIME OF LIFE
Left banglore on thrusday nite with avinash and tokas n took n a sleeper bus straight to Mangalore. The journey was kewl n i slept like a little kid...to wake up just in time to get down at 7 am in Mangalore. Headed for the LADY HILL's HIS GRACE apartment to meet VENU..the guy i had heard about but never met...wow wat a place it was a penthouse on the 8th floor....with the view of the Mangalore city n sea in front...kewl...smoked grass in the morning..watched movie, had breakfast cooked by POORAN from Tanakpur...and headed for the LIQUID LOUNGE.
Liqour flowed for free n then CHIMPU joined us. Took a car on rent and then headed for the suratkal beach with loads of beer in the boot. SURATKAL beach had only 6 people ..only us..sat there on the sand...went inside the sea..it was dark with a light house over our head..n boozed...went to BITTU's dabha for snacks n tea n bought more beers and came back to home.
Next morning was dizzy..n decided to go to UDUPI to join didi who was already there wiht jiju kids n ranjan in UDUPI....n went to MALPI beach straight a way.Avi n tokas left later on saturday night while i was travleing to MURUDEHWAR.
Wow what a beautiful sight it was on way...sea on one side of the road and backwaters on the other...the drive was lovely,,fantabulous. Reached murudeshwar at around 9pm to find out that the place was surrounded on three sides by sea..an our hotel balconi was just facing the sea and a rock beach and a normal beach.
Went to the beach and stayed there with RANJAN for hours...wee hours in the morning..people were boozing, driving in the sea..it was really fun to c them andb there. Came backa at around 2 AM to come n sleep.
Next day went to Murudeshwar temple...n wat aq beautiful place it is..sea on three sides..its so beautiful...lush green island...n beautiful sea...came back from temple in some three four hours and went for the beach....the beach ain't the greatest of all...
Started journey back to UDUPI and on way went to MOOKAMBIKA temple....wat a beautifule temple...wish i could upload the video clips here.
(To Be countinued.......)

While browsing thru the latest gizmos on www.endgadget.com went beserk....
I need all these !! every product is better than the others n all u need is less than $300 to buy a mp3 player, a fm radio tuner, voice recorder n lots of stuff...5gb players are available for as cheap as 150 bucks.

the festival of gods is here......n am fasting hard to keep my weight under control..he he..isn't it nice to fast in the god's name. Mama will feel bad when she reads this. I won't say that an atheist, but latelty it has been a journey into belief that we don't need GODS...or atleast I don't need a GOD right now.
rest went for a freak out with avinash and tokas. Bangalore is gr8 when it comes to pubs n STYX still remains high on the priority list with soo gud music...n ambience that no other pub can match n this time it was spl coz avi was also there with us...from STYX we walked out to mgroad then brigade to some restaurant that serves some very good lip-smacking fast food.
from there went out to FORMUM, McDonalds have opened up a new resturant there, and guess what bangaloreans had lined up outside it. WHATS IF THERE WAS NO McDONALDS there!! I was shocked..people were waiting to get in...it was a height of craziness...Bought somebooks from LANDMARK ...its a gud habbit to read thats what tokas says...
And gudluck is pourin on me...met another old timer from school..yup after so many years..first it was NOOR (after 9 yrs)and then AARTI..what should I call this Lady Luck smiling..whatever its fun to be back with friends. BTW Aarti is the longest stnding friend am in touch with...;-)
myTune:Buddha Beats-III( Dinner)\Track 13.mp3
myMood:Am Happy..:-)
justOneLine: My voice has grown hoarsse and manly over years..GALA KHARAB HAI KYA ..yeh kehta hai purane dost...;-)..what caused this..hormones..n yesterday nite screaming at STYX and fag...i guess

kal ki rat...;-) YESTERDAY'S NIGHT
THIS IS THE MAIL I WROTE TO THE FRIENDS IN THE MORNING AS FIRST THING.....
gud morning everyone
in the headlines today....
BANGALORE MEIN FLOODS CLAIM MANY VEHICLES LIFE--Mr. DEPENDABLE COMES FOR RESCUE
--from horse's mouth
Kal ki baarish mein ek nale ke sameep hum pahuche jo ki road ke neeche se behta hai lekin..hume dekh kar usme ufaan aa gaya..aur hum kamar tak paani mein khade the..aur humari bechari kinetic honda aadhi paani mein thi.
Mauke ki nazaquat ko dekhte huye jab hum ghar aur office se kareeb 7-7 km dur the..hum ne road kahu ya nala, jo bhi hai pe paidal chalna shuru kiya....aur kareeb 2 km paani mein poore bheegete huye gaye chalte gaye....phir humne mr.dependable ko phone lagaya.....aur EUREKA
Woh hume bacha ke le gaye ek mechanic ke paas...jisne humara kinetic theek kar diya..is beech humne thand se bachne ke liye bangalore ka poora lutf lete huyi, ek bacardi ka large mara....aur kareeb 1 hr ke mehnat ke baad humara vahan sahi hua
Akkhir keshu bhai ...sab jagah dependable hai..bangalore ho ya kanpur...
aaj auto se aana pada hai office....thakaan se chur chur hun..aur baaki aaj se vrat chalu hai is liye ...niramish bhojan aur sura-pan bandh..
JAI MATA KI
dobi
This was the first experience of the helpnessness man faces against the nature's forces. We have to agree that whatever we claim and take pride of is nothing when pittied against the Mother Nature

gud morning blog
when I rose from bed at the regular (later than when I should had) time, the first thought in the morning was "Why do we need to go to office day after day?" And then dee(my sister) replied that don't worry you have some holidays lined up next...and what i said was I don't need any holidays to break the habbit!.
The first thing i did was to put some music on!! n the last nights celebration of music countinued with BuddhaBar in the morning and guess what..its still playing...i am listening to the same album in the office..TRANCE is the genre of the day.
Moment I opened up my official mailbox ...VIOLA...there was a mail from shail..she made my day...what a pleasure is it to read a mail from your beloved ones as the first thing in the morning...
One more thing last evening recieved a mail that said we have been allocated to a project..and then in the morning heard the news that we have a induction lecture today..gud news..WE R NO MORE BENCHED. so guys out there who are on bench don't worry this too shall pass !!
myTune:Solitude (Artist- Karunesh)(Buddha Bar III(Dreams))
myMood:white shade of happy ;-)

pink floyd...i need more
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times
The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends sorrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river
Forever and ever"
and if by any chance u think this ain't great read the following from the song coming back to life
"While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life"
i run out of words while speaking about them and what follows is more admiration for the talent of roger waters,david gilmour, nick mason, richard wright and roger barett.....am listening and listening all over again
myTune: Coming Back To Life (Pink Floyd, Album: THE DIVISION BELL , 1994)
myMood: :-) :-}
JustOneLine: Pink floyd...they were phenomenonal..simply superb

When we all are in to projects things shall change and won't be this way ne more..n thanks Saurabh for these snaps
dj dobi is back
hey the DJ is back in town...even if there is no audience to listen to my songs.I am a self styled Dj with all but one audience for sure.
So the songs for this beautiful morning are by the legends of rock PINK FLOYD and the album is called pulse. The best songs in the cd which every one can appreciate easily are High Hopes and the my another favourite in the album is Where Were You. PINK FLOYD undoubtedly are the great showmakers of rock.
When the tempo is right its time to make room for the contemporarty legends of metal. The musicians of our time, kings of power guitars and power drums, the kings of rock who had always shunned drugs and promoted booze...for those who still can't guess am talking about METALLICA. And the next song I play is NOTING ELSE MATTERS, and after this I shall silently shift to UNFORGIVEN II.
By the way I forgot to mention that today is "METALLICA DAY --the joy of being becnhed".

another dAy on beNch
I joke about it day in and day out..I talk about it I tell friends that its true. When the Indian IT Industry is on a high, when its boom for the IT Professionals we are on BENCH. There was an immediate requirement in the project I was supposed to join yesterday, but I am yet to join. As a fresh out of college guy this doesn't mean much to me, but the only concern is the fact Why the hell is the organization blowing away money by not allocating us to the respective projects.
Its not like that my company does it intentionally, its what happens in every damn company today. Its not that its done cause we don't have experience but even experienced people are on bench. And if I calculate the wasted man hours and not only me but any guy with a bit of appreciation for finance and money can calculate the loss. Especially when there are many projects which are suffering cause of the insufficient manpower availability....Any ways to all friends and foes benched..All I can say is enjoy this is a time to celebrate and pity as well..I am choosing the first one cause nobody cares if I brood..So why shouldn't I celebrate....:-))

Am Institutionalized now.......i know I am
yes, believe me I am...the price was paid by me and i didn't even knew when !!
It was a fraud..and when i realised that it was, thousands of litres of water had flown down the holy ganges...the last nail on the coffin was the realization of the fact that damage was irrepairable. The process was irreversible.
Do you remeber why did the old man who had a small canary (who commited sucide later) in the movie Shawshank Redeption die? The only reason why he died was because after all his life in the prison, he could not adopt to life outside. He was INSTITUTIONALIZED.
Similar is what i feel today. When there is not much to do, I can't find anything to indulge in. Am looking for work but can't find any. What adds to the pain is the realization that my first preference is to somehow remain busy. Music, booze, alcohol , chat, even this blogging are mere indulgences, what all this gives me is an escape from my self. An escape from self.
Axl Rose sang "We all need sometime, on our own, everybody needs some time on his own" but I really wonder why? When you get the time alone..its more painful than the realization that u need some time....
I am looking for something which shall make me feel happy..contended, and its truly ironical because i know nothing can really hold for me..for some time. Especially when i know happiness can't come from something...nothing can give me wat am looking for ..these are all indulgences mere indulgences.
We are somehow trying to find a way to spend our lifetime.And this makes me to think that when the final destination is death...y are we resisitng..wasting our lives in indulagances ..which are material...so material so very phoney..empty...am confused ..may be i pretend that I am .
And when i look at my peers i wonder do they know? I wonder are they in the mad rush as well? Are they happy ....really HAPPY or there is no happiness...they are just gud actors....
