There are ppl who tend to be curious by nature and there are ppl who are curiosity solver. There is a bit of difference between the two seemingly close groups. One will raise question and lot of questions. The other will try to give an answe to these. Many a times we get to know sth and then have some doubt. Certain ppl will immediately go to smbdy who gave them the initial knowledge regarding the subject and will get the matter clarified/ask the question there and will ask for an explanation. Some ppl will look for the answers themselves and will try not to ask anybdy regarding these. Then, they may get an answer or may not. Both these kinds have their benefit and drawbacks. The first group knows the answer more easily and quickly and probably the discussion with some knowledgeable person helps them get a better understanding. The other group will know all the hurdles while looking for the solution. Sometimes this grp will not have a solution and will know abt a lot more problems. But, the time will be definitely large.

Does every thing which bothers us really a part of our thought process or we are made to think about these things by other factors? Are we really concerned about certain things or are we responding to an external stimuli?
For example, are we really concerned when a boy goes down in a well or are we just responding to the sensationalization of the news being fed down our throat by the all powerful media?
Do all the ppl taking out a march/protest/dharna really believe in its cause? Ya many poor come to these because they are lured by leaders to come. But, are the so called educated ones support the causes because these are right as per their conscience? Or are there conscience skewed because of external factors like friends, society, media, etc.? We keep on hearing that India has not made much of development/has made sufficient development and we will find a lot of ppl supporting both part of it. But, how many percentage of both these groups really have cared to get the data on their own to validate their support? I hope majority does!!
There are a few things where one turns blind eye to a part of issue and raise a lot of concern to the other part of the same issue:
Politicans - they are in general bad ppl and they make huge amt of money and make undue advantage of their power and positions. PPl think they shd be removed but nobody is ready to take their place even if they are removed. The ppl who are ready to take their place are in the same category as the current set of politicians. So what will happend even if the current politicians go? The new set will be same only the faces will be changed!
Reservations: These should go as India has come too far and these are not at all useful in current scenario and are creating much problem. Well what about the reservations given by religion? It seems the priests post is 100% reserved.

Thoughts

Rent in powai -18k for a 2BHK last year, owner changes in a yr. New owner asks for 25k. Some corporate is ready to pay!!

Work in a I-Bank - Fill some data in some excel , graph it and then send to different ppl...wow, interesting high end work!!

Raw Petrol Price increases - Govt cant increase the price in mkt, the elections are near. Put a surcharge in the income tax => The common man travelling on bus is paying for a business man travelling in Merc.

A Journey to Bihar

Well, I went to my village in north Bihar and on my way back, I got the opportunity to catch the glimpses of some parts of life in Bihar and here it is.

Patna Sahib Gurudwara

Ganges from Mahatma Gandhi Setu

A Home in Village

Village Nukkad

Travelling on roof-top

This is just a vague glimpse of an exciting life in Bihar which is way different from what it looks from outside.

Ideas

I will try to list down some nice ideas and related issues which I heard of:

---- Putting wind turbines over the trains: - Won't the wind resistance increase and hence the speed decrease because of this. I think it will definitely cause the energy to be drained from the trains.

---- Giving some sort of locating device over the TV remote: This will make the remotes costlier and may not seem as a good idea to those who are quite methodical bcoz they will always know where the remote is but this shd come as a huge relief for bachelors

---- Palm/Finger print enabled door opening device: This device will have the functionality to open automatically if the person whose Palm/Finger print has been entered into device's database. Actually it will try to match the print as soon as somebody touches the device, it will match it with the database and based on match it will open the door. IT ALREADY EXISTS IN MOVIES, I guess. Drawback: Ppl will have to take off gloves.

----- Presenting holographic image of the person standing on the door. This will take the holographic technology to the homes and will make the door alarms/viewers too costly but it will be for the higher levels.

----- Making a rules engine for comparing two excel files. This is a tool where a repetitive taks of reconciliation of two excel file will be done. One needs to define which cells/rows needs to be compared and the difference may be written in a third excel file. This software must be there somewhere already.

----- Giving a coating of non-inflammable layer on the carriers of inflammable products. What may be different here may be the layering. Probably teh carriers need to have two walls and between the walls there should be a non-inflammable gas or liquid in between the two walls.

----- Converting Sound Energy to Electrical/Mechanical Energy. We should try to capture the noise pollution being generated by ever increasing traffic on roads and try to put this energy to some good use, may be to lighting the streets or running something which can absorb CO2 or SO2 etc.

Who is She?

Apparently this picture is doing rounds and is being claimed by many as Bill gates' daughter. But, Infact she is Rachael Leigh Cook, an actress..... the picture is anyways too pretty!!

Have you ever wondered as to why people(S) consider some people close(C) and some not close? Well there may be a numerous reasons. Just one of these reasons is the fact that these ppl don't confront their ideas....or may be C just hear the ideas of S and keep silent or just support these ideas....
But, someday if these C comeup with some ideas which is totally against the ideas of S then the scene changes, well not always but sometimes it surely changes.....
Many a time ppl tend to think that what ever decision or idea one has is the best for the scenario and only those who are in that scenario can only give some ideas which will be worth giving a thought. If somebody who does not belong to the scenario comes up with an idea then it is not worth just because of the fact that they are not aware of the ground realities.
Y is it tat everybdy is compared with same rules? There may be certain persons/brains which may be able to comprehend the ground realities even without actually coming across the scenarios.....There may be ppl who can live life in the 5-star suits and think of the problems of the poors who has no where to live.....May be ppl can gather different amount of information from a simple book or a simple story!!!

Mumbai - An observation

I recently moved to Mumbai - the financial capital of India. I had always wished not to come to this place for job purpose as I always percieved the city to be filled with chaos and a city not as per my taste. I don't know if the city is as per my taste or not but I think my notions abt the city has mellowed down a bit at least.

Well, I came here and had been to Pune twice till now to meet friends. The views near lonavala and Khandala from Train is hooha....its really picturesque...waterfalls, lush green mountains...wow its awesome.

An interesting feature which I saw on my both trip while coming back is the presence of pros on the Pune-Mumbai highway. Well, probably near Panvel, on my first trip, while peeping out of the window I saw a gal, coming out of the bushes and as far as I can collect in the passing glimpse, the girl was dressed in quite a manner which to me appeared as fitting for a pro.......well I mentioned the incident to a frnd and the guy told tat may be the gal was a general gal having a taste for haute couture and I am just making too many assumptions. I said ok, may be. Well the next trip put all the speculations to rest. Almost at the same place, I saw another gal dressed in skimpy clothes and talking to a man. As I had my experience of the last trip, I was deliberately looking out of the window and when I saw the gal, I kept on looking at her for a while. What I saw was quite unbelievable and I still think if I saw it correct or not. Well, the bus was passing by on its speed and the gal talking to the man was wearing a mini skirt and lo, the gal took the skirt fully up in a flash and one wonder gave way to another when as far as I cud see through these weaking eyes is tat there was nothing beneath. The bus passed by and I turned and tried to had another look but the bus was speeding and it just vanished.

It seems the business is available at large in this area. The govt may be claiming anything and everything but I can not deny wat I saw.

Wearing leather boots in India

Well, I am not talking abt the whole of India but wearing these leather high heeled boots by gorgeous ladies in and around Delhi makes really a scene to watch out for.... As far as I understand these high leather boots makes sense in cold countries and definitely on ramps... In India, I think the gals wearing these definitely make a statement, whether right or wrong, good or bad is upto the all important audience. For sure, it is not being worn to thwart the cold but I think it definitely adds to the beauty of these front row models.. just one of those illogical thoughts of mine :-))

Pretend

Ever wondered that when you think that u will never do something......circumstances change and you are forced to do the same thing...sometimes I wonder if you yourself knowingly or unknowingly change the circumstances in a way so tat u r forced to do things u didn't want to do or is it just a matter of chance........there may be ppl in world who would say that this is the power of the unseen and most powerful who is making this happen and making u realise his/her being.......
Sometimes it happen tat ppl tend to behave in a very weird manner and you think how can this be? Sometime ppl show that they are doing something because of certain reasons but the real reasons are something else.......and ppl tend to hide those reasons because of watever reasons...may be they think tat those reasons will portray them in wrong shades.... dont know if wat I am talking makes sense or not but... well say a guy says tat he doesn't like to eat in restaurants and likes eating in dhabas...likes to eat pizzaz in parties and says he doesn't like to eat outside bcoz it doesn't suit it, I doubt if this can be true. What seems to be the underlying truth is tat the guy is concerned about the cost of eating in restaurants..may be!!

Well, ppl say tat they don't expect anything frm life but sometime it so happens tat they expect a lot and to just satisfy themselves frm feeling bad or getting disheartened they tend to tell themselves tat they dont expect anything... Also, ppl may say tat they dont have any goals but it may be the truth tat they have very high goals and they fear tat they will never be able to achieve it...to hide frm this fact and to not face the defeat and the feeling of humiliation ppl tend to hide themselves under illogical notions and false pretentions....

????

I am one of those who like to waste time on orkut wandering here and there....watching the scraps, photos etc etc of others.....I believe there must be a lot of ppl like me.....

Some time I wonder y do I do so? No answers to that....
I remember when I was back in my school days, I used to sit in veranda and watch ppl, trucks buses pass on the road.....dont know what I used to feel (if I felt anything)

Some ppl, I think, think that I am quite a rude and boring person....which is true to a greater extent....but cant do much about it....or probably I dont want to do anything about it...

If I look back at my life, I find so many things have happened...wide varieties.....but what are those that I really wanted to happen......there are a few.....what about the future...........dont know where will it go.....no plans....no ambitions......no aspirations.......like a log of wood caught in the flood.....

why do ppl weep? sometimes to show others....sometimes bcoz of habit......sometime to attract attention.....sometime bcoz of helplessness, a feeling of cant do anything....there may be other reasons.....

Is it better to always ask for opinions or should you go ahead with your thoughts? well, to begin with you need some others to guide you in forming opinions...oncce reached tat level, u should start forming your opinions and critically review it and get some second thoughts about your views.....maybe you will get to refine your ideas....but this will eventually lead you to a place where others will consult you for their problems as you will have a clear understanding and a critique view towards taking decisions....

low rise waists

Recently I was sitting in a mall sipping my cup of coffee and right there on a table close enough to me, there were three young ladies.......and seems they are quite modernised...guesssing with the kind of the clothes ..... :-) well, one of them was rite in front of my eyes and she was wearing sth which has surpassed the definition of low rise in the sitting posture ..... :D....prompted by the invitation I started looking at the gal (:D) and well within a few moments she moved away...I dont know why the hell, if you are deliberately wearing it you should also face the consequences.....

Many a times u hear a lot of things frm other ppl, read a hell lot of things. But you dont tend to believe all these. U feel a sense of suspicion or may even turn this down at all. But, the time u hear sth which is as per ur feeling or ur belief, u immediately tend to believe the so called "Fact". Even u may have a doubt deep within but u tend to kill this doubt urself and just go ahead and grab the thing in ur favour.

This thing is not only in personal perspective, even the biggest rumours are bcoz of this only. Just watch the ppl believe all sorts of nonsense when the scenario is tense within a locality and there is a chance of riots. In any place where ppl tend to have fear/doubt, there are rumours...be it stock market, be it the breeding ground for riots or be it a love story .....

Well it seems I have started to write quite boring things and issues......
I recently went to a marriage and met someone whom I think am seeing after probably 7-7.5 yrs ( I m specifically using "seeing" as prior to 7.5 yrs also, I think I dont remember talking to her...wat a pity aint it? :D) ..I dont even know whether the gal recognised me or not.....probably a bit when I wished her...
Well as always the bride and the groom were looking pretty....
After the dinner and all tat, when I returned back I thought why is it tat during marriage the Two most important ppl are not their self. Most of the time they keep their mouth shut ....especially the bride...the groom may try to start feeling comfortable among the known ones but the bride it seems feels really out of the place ....may be she is asked to keep quiet by the family ppl or may be sth else....

weird ......the usual me

when u r bound to act in a particular way, it seems u always tend to act tat way......whether it hurts u or not is subsidiary. Frnds tend to take care of you so much that they see that you are hurting yourself but you can take care of urself even after hurting the self. It seems ppl need to understand tat ppl tend to outgrow their age their image as and when the need arrives. May be the person is not experienced enough to act in a rational way but sometime acting rational is nothing more than being inhuman.

Can anybdy feel the pleasure after hurting somebdy? I say y not. If the person has sufficiently compelling reason to hurt the person, then the pain generated will be an amusement also.

What will you do if you plant a small tree right in front of your door and one day it grows so big that it starts blocking your door and becomes threatening for your home? Will you make adjustment for the plant which u nourished with care or will you bring it down in favour of your home?

Sometime u r party to some small incidents which make u think greatly. An output of such an instance............"Itna bhi dosti mat nibhao ki jeena mushkil ho jaye" (Don't be so bounded to the friendship that it becomes life threatening).

Breaking into the silence

sometimes u feel as if u r not wanted anymore......in some places among some ppl
U feel tat things which were so close to u once didn't need u anymore. It seems each and everything wants u out. U tend to fear things as u may make them want more to throw you away. sometimes u read the signs on the face tat ppl and irritated and annoyed at you and you feel like keeping quiet .... quiet as in the middle of night in middle of the graveyard... u just sit there and keep on sitting watching the graves

So rahe Ho?

"So rahe Ho?' ............. A line u may hav heard many times and sometimes u wonder y the fuck somebody is saying that or u r leaving and ppl will say "ja rahe ho?" or u r coming into the home and hear " aa gaye?"
U r watching cricket and hear "Match dekh rahe ho?"
or u r eating sth which is easily visible to others and they will ask "Kya kha rahe ho?"

There are a lot more.......

sometime I wonder y ppl say so....is it out of curiosity, affection, or wat?

well world is like tat only I believe.

At times, you see some old relative of urs seriously ill and relatives paying visits....now the ladies in the family will show special concern towards these scenarios.....I don't know whether the ladies weep daily on seeing the old relative or not but as soon as the person passes away, the ladies will start a cry.........................I wonder y? Is it just bcoz of tradition or wat? Was this something unexpected? Is it neccessary to show to the world tat u r weeping...................ufffffff.... sometimes I feel a bit pissed off ..........don't know y but its like tat only.....its also true tat I sometime njoi these occasions giving all sorts of absurd answers to these absurd questions...:-p

Pune trip

To be precise I went to pune on 29th and returned back on 3rd Oct. Met frnds and had a jolly gud time over there.....wahan bakchodi kar ke maza aa gaya......sahich bola dost log delhi main nautanki karne ka ab mere ko mauka hi nahi mil pata hai.....

ya same pune which is now gripped with brangelina fever. Jhakkas Iranian log dikhte hain wahan.....as per frnds they come there to study.....bole to pune main gyan darshan........poore india main khali pune hi gyan ke layak mila Iran walon ko?????

khair wahan mast incident dekhne ko mila aur main achanak socha ki what might be going on in the heads of the characters involved in the incident......well first the incident......so we visited the singhad fort and had a detailed visit over there (saalon ne khoob ghoomaya) and then we sat at one place to have lunch.....chatai laga ke mast chach aur dahi aur bajre ki rotti aur kanda bhaja.......jhakkas. Simultaneously we were audience to an incident involving two love-birds njoing there togetherness in open in full public view. Well there closeness got so close that the lady owner of the dhaba restaurnat came and told "THIK SE BAITHO NAHI TO PAKADWA DOONGI" (Brilliant dialogue delivery and mast stage to say it).......now at this moment I thought what must be going on in the heads of the two actors of the incident::::probably both of them were njoing at that moment the pleasures of life....both feeling xcited abt it (but can this xcitement be there when u are being watched by a large num of unknown prying eyes??) ...may be both feeling to take the relation to nxt level(or may be they already have taken it to tat level) ... I guess nobody will be bold nugh in the first place to do these in public and so both feeling high on tat account and getting higher....and boom the lady delivers the dialogue and probably both feel a bit awkward........a bit ashamed or hurt or angry .........................

Many a times it so happens tat u wonder why so? Recently I met the gf of one of my frnds and as I was getting ready to leave my house to meet them, one of my frnds asked me where I was up to. I told him abt tat the gf of my frnd is here and my frnd wants me to meet her. He then promptly asked me as to why was I supposed to meet her. Don't know y but both of us thought tat the guy wanted to know abt my opinion abt his choice. The next day it really happened as the guy asked me abt my opinion regarding his gf. I really wonder as to why ppl do such things? R only guys doing these or gals also succumb to these? Probably at times ppl r not sure abt the decisions they have made in the life and want reconciliation frm others.... Anyway wat I was wondering abt is: does my opinion matter or will I disclose my personal opinion abt my frnds gf in one meeting to him even knowing tat the guy is going to marry her? Shd we really ask for an opinion frm others abt topics which are so close to one's heart (and far away frm the brain)? I mean will the guy change his opinion if I say sth adverse? Or if I praise her....how is it going to affect her? Also, how can u have an opinion in one meeting and if u have one will it really be trustworthy?

I was having a talk with one of my frnds and he told me regarding his achievements and am really pleased with it. But, don't know why sth stuck me....he said a major change has been brought in some area and tat change is attributed to him...... thinking abt it I don't know why I thought he may be part of a grp who might have done it.........there are always ways to say things....some times humble sometimes not so humble......

Recently I was having a talk with one of the frnds and we were having the discussion abt some serious issue and the guy in a usual tone said some nice words (:D) and a gal was sitting right behind my frnd....no sooner the word left the guy's mouth, the gal turned arnd and gave a nasty look............ with gals arnd u r supposed to be behaving all nice I suppose.......U need to change a lot to accomodate.....Is this the typical behaviour of our society only or is it a worldwide phenomenon?

Are employees in india getting their share?

After a long gap, ......

Well, it really is a matter of patience to put your thoughts together and put them onto the blog.

Recently, one of our colleague was asked to resign frm the company with an open threat tat he will be terminated if he doesnt put down his resignation. CAUSE: Guy asked for work!!!
U won't believe it. Nobody will ..... but the fact remains as cold as the siberia....
Well, the incident goes like....a guy frm the prestigious institute is recruited after thorough checking and after going through rigorous recruitment process. The guy joins the company and is asked to do the documentations.... the guy does it .......along way he asks for some quality work to be given to him....with a promise (which was never fulfilled) the authorities try to cajole him... the next assignment thrown his way again is documentation... the guy gets irritated and asks for work...still unwillingly he gets the work done....Once again the work he gets is the same shit and with nobody lending ears to his grievances, the guy bunks a few meetings and it gets noticed and the authorities get informed too .... a few more bunking and the authorities decide to give some gud work to him (to be completed in 2-3 weeks)and if the guy doesn't fulfill the assignments, the harsh judgement is to be decided.... however no notice gets passed to the guy...neither the work gets changed...he still is supposed to finish the documentations..... and finally within a week the authorities decide (based on wat grounds is yet to be decided) that the guy is having attitude problem and he is asked to give in the resignation or face the wrath....feeling helpless the guy puts the paper down..........

I would like to ask is it justified???? Is this the way to treat the employees??? Why the employers think themselves to be the owners of the employees? Are employees bonded labours or wat?
