FUN in the RUN..its marathon time!!!!

I think i am quite alright now......i am back to work...and fine. WOW....these tablets really work!!....So i went to office today and the whole day i did quite a lot of things....i was assigned a new project..i attended a meeting....a seminar which my senior colleague had to give. I was there to assist him, all the Team leaders and managers came and we had to actually teach them a new routing algorithm we have to implement. So, we are upgrading our technology. A new project, wherein we will be the first of the kind in INDIA to implement, and i am a part of it..i mean by whatever means..ok. In the end he told this to everybody and told us to be proud of it....BE PROUD OF IT....so ok i am. But it doesnt involve as much as intricacies as people think. I mean those managers without any technical language were like open-mouthed and in awe. So as an engineer now i know it can be easy to fool people just be using a few complicated technical terms. ...hehe. Then i had to make some reports, and i read horoscopes, a friend sent it to me.

I am a capri....so it told me that i am caring, i am honest, imaginative, leader, thinker.....u know all the god stuff. So ..pretty happy me. I just wish that it comes true ..all that was written. A good professional year....lot of oppurtunities....luck...haha......

As much as i am into science, i still belive in luck and fate and karma.....n everything. I think yes, there is something called luck. Something which suddenly interferes with everything you do. It can just help you at the time when everything seems to be going wrong, you dont have any direction to go on....and wham!!!...suddenly everything is good again. I have experienced this....but u know let luck just do its work...you just make sure you make your present good...do everything you can in the best way you can...rest will follow...n you will have a good luck!!

Ok, another thing...luck doesnt always interfere in a god way ok. Everything might seem to be going right, and suddenly you are nowhere... I'll tell you my observation...its a good one...


You know i have seen people whom others call "lucky"...are the ones who are really free..uncaring...who just live the moment...dont think much.....are good at heart..who dont hurt anybody...really!!......i will advise you to try this ..try being this way.....dont think much....abt the future or about the past.....you are sure to get lucky. Like me!!!...........haha

Yes......i have been lucky....in everything. Its like " FEEL GOOD". Oh i forgot this :

Pain and the People

For the quite few days i have been just drooling around, i watched a movie this weekend. It was supposed to be " The Golden Compass"...but what happened was that i landed in some other cinema hall, where they were playing " NATIONAL TREASURE"..i dont quite like Nicholas cage so i watched this hindi movie"Tare Zammen Par".....a typical Indian family movie....people were there with thir wives n kids n fathers n mothers n grandmothers n grandfathers....n grand grand what not!!! But it was an enjoyable movie....which i enjoyed...n i came to realize that i can cry watching movies!......I had to struggle so that a tear doesn't drop off!! It was about kids ....a kid who has dyslexia and who is shuned by family n friends only to be reincarnated through a teacher h finds at a boarding school where his parents dump him. So my review is like everyone lse..good movie..totally watchable.

Ok then i had this fever from day before yestrday, and i had a sore throat. Tonsils...which have been with me since i was a kid. Whenever i have them its very severe. My throat was paining and it extended upto my ears n head...i couldnt eat...i couldnt drink water,....worst thing....i cudnt even open my mouth...forget talking!!cudnt sleep....all i did was a hot water gargle.........n some antibiotics.

None helped yesterday night..it was the maddest ever........so in the morning i went to see a doctor who gave me this big heap of medicines ...and a painkiller which i needed severely. It helped.......or i wud have died out of that. The lady doctor is really nice in our office ..... she helped !! Thanks Thanks...the painkillers n the doc...both of them.

I had to write a lot ...i had so many things..a pigeon did in front of me...the kites here everybody was flying yesterday....th bad traffic where i was stuck.....office gossip n talk.......but wheres the time!!!.......and i think that painkillers effect is rubbing off....and this pain is again starting....so before it starts all over again...i should just go and take care of myself.....cos nobody else is there.
Look, this is the time when you feel the worst.You are in a new place, you dont know anything....not even where u'll find the clinic..you dont have really good friends you can call....well..."friends"...... n then you fear what if you get sick....and then one fine morning..you wake up.......your head n throat n everyting paining like anything....n then you have to go to office as well....coz the most important had of Technolgy is on for a visit..!!!..........i missed my mum a lot...really!! She is the one i can turn upto each time..tell her everything..she is like my best friend.....not like...she is ........they are everything to me!!.......and now i am sick.....i am also home sick...i want to go home.....but i cant...!! Life is sucking big time man!!!

And then people all around you are like " Grow up", "Be Strong", ...most funny " Be a man".....what the fuck man.......i know i am always smiling n when ppl around me dont see me smiling..they think i am sick or i am off or whatever......and i have people around me who are mean, in office everyone is like as in a "corporate world".....having a very "professional" attitude...who joke which sounds more like taunting for each other....gossips are always about the boss" boss is this..boss is that".....everybody thinks they are just perfect....sometime i also hate all these messy people .... hardly you find some good guy who would gives you a good advise.....everyone thinks you are eating on their job and dominance...what the hell !!!

The bad thing is that now i am also a part of all this and i have to 'learn the ropes', but i am not the guy who has a very 'foxy' thing about hiim........i dont really expect people to beahve like that..what to do?..what to do?...what to do?...this pain..fk this also!!

SARIKA n MANISHA--

Today was saturday and i enjoyed it in my own way. I woke up at 10 in the morning..had tea at 11..after that i had lunch between which i read the newspaper...and after sometime today i went out alone. I went out to shop for myself so i went to the ATM and got 5000 bucks....and i went on for shopping. But i couldnt buy anything for myself..i just couldnt choose..so maybe i'll take my friend out tomorrow to shop for me..too confused u c. So after that my friends were at the beach waiting for me. SO i reached there ....and this very sweet girl..she was a kid.....she came to me and told that she wud make a tattoo for me...please have it...I mean she was just so sweet that i cudnt refuse it.......she had an elder sister also. Their names were "SARIKA" and "MANISHA".........i had two tattos.on my arm.....one scorpion and anothre " OM "....a religious style symbol now.........these are not permanent..just 10 days or so. SARIKA actually studies in school........i liked it very much when she told me that she goes to school .................she is really sweet..in 3rd grade....after coming from school she comes to the beach with her box..making tattos for 5 bucks...i really appreciate that girl....she works ..goes to school..at an age when kids are supposed to play....i paid her 50 bucks...not just to show my money....but really....i somehow liked the spirit and swetness of that girl.....she is very sweet. In india..this is very common...kids working..child labour..they are forced in to it...because their parents cant afford anything for them.....and our silly government....its too corrupted to do anything for them. I told here that i would come next sunday also and asked her to meet me .........and she told me" Everybody says that, No one comes"..............i felt bad......u know had i lot of money...i could have adopted her.she is very smart..and she is just how much 9 years??...........there are lot of kids here who just have so much in them but not the right resources..not the right people....people who want to do something for them arent rich enough..and those who have money..they are busy making more money for themselves driving in their sedans..........but kids like them still make a place for themselves in this cruel city.......i hope and pray to god that SARIKA and evrybidy like her..grow up to be great people...

Bar

Next to me a guy is there american probably....and hes talking to someone about his life here....3 miles form where he lives to where he works.....life is hectic..and all that. I should not hear it but..my ears ..you know they are open to everything. Ok..mexico mexico....hes from mexico...hey emme stop this...!! I think i havent much to write.....I am listening to this beautiful song by Dixie Chicks...

RESOLUTIONS>>>>>>>whattt!!!! really.....really....for real this time

Well...i never thought that someday i would be making resolutions. It has always been a matter of fun and mocking..but i am actually writing this so as to return back next year..see my post and actually assessing as to how much have done....everybody makes resolutions...n i am making mine....some jot it down, others dont....so there are lot of things....and its not possible for me to write them down........

I am in a new job...so i have to make sure that i make my own personal mark..just like not everyone else...i dont have to be in "the crowd"

I should get promoted in a year...that is pretty too much to ask for in such short time, but people have done that..its possible

This new year,i dint feel god being with my guy friends..so obviously...i need a girlfriend...so i'll try to change my status from "single" to probably somewhere between "hanging" and " committed"...somewhere in between...coz i think relationships grow with time...but first i need to find a good girl...pretty soon i have to ..so that needs to be done.

Now that i am earning my own money..i think i also need to learn a bit of saving..i have always been a big big spender...so i'll check that.

I am joining french learning classes soon. I am learning it as part of my plans to join the UN.

I will learn to drive a car..but i wont buy it this year...actually i wont afford it so soon.

I think i trust people very easily..and may be thats why i have also suffered at times...still i havent learned ...change that.

Try and make a trip to some other country..anywhere..no choices...its a part of my"i have to see this whole world" thing.

Join some NGO here....for animals...use my saturdays n sundays for some work for them. Thats actually an interest of mine..

I dont drink..niether do i smoke....i am happy with that i dint get addicted to it..i am 23 and i dont see myself falling into that.......and i should make sure that i dont do that....for now..i am not interested...and i think i wont do it...

.............ok i think i cant stop....but this has to be mentioned....

Try try try to Get up early in the morning....please god..help me with that!!

FINAL WORD
I think we all people make resolutions..and you know what..i think everybody has just the same things they want in life...its all the same except that their personal lives are involved and it sounds different..but its all the same....very much.....we all want to be happy and i think we all strive for it......but let me not write about this..i am feeling hungry..diner dinner dinner..oh yes...i forgot....today three of my friends ..what do u call..looted me...they asked for a treat.....and then i had to..so we went to this Chinese restaurant....pure Chinese ok...with waiters also being chinese in this very big mall....CHINA MING.....and we had lunch..4 of us....with starters...n chicken n sea food from china...a BUDDHA VEG DELIGHT n some kind of chinese rice....and then brownies with vanilla.....
best lunch i ever had...and also the most expensive...very very very ....4 guys......just a lunch!! and nearly 2000 rupees......and still..i had to pay for that.......that was alright for the time being.....but after that really.......i had to think about it....there are so many people in this country who dont get this much money even if they work whole month day n night......and a lunch.....it cost us that much.....i think it was a wastage...it made me feel guilty of something.....


Well..just some of the things i should do....among the innumerable things i want to do.......
make life bigger..its to short.

There were fireworks there..lots...some peopele were dancing....others so drunk that they couldnt even walk..one partcular guy..he was standing with his arms stretched on either sides....slanted at45 degrees n he looked as if someone had hanged him from a roof..while he was in the middle of the road....he was drunk..badly.....n then there were hot chicks..with ugly big big chickens with them.......so all in all ..it was fun. After that we went to a bar....i dont drink....my other frinds had some shots..meanwhile i had a choco frappe with a scoop of vanilla and two choco ccokies.....so that was prettty much for a new year party. We were in the bar for about 3 in the morniing.then i got really really frustrated n sleepy....the guy who were drinking looked fine..they wanted to stay...i drank coffee..so i was supposed not to sleep but i felt sleepy...so finally we were back. Well...mt friend..i wont name him..he got too drunk..3 beers he had...and then he had to pee.....while we reached our flat.....till that time he couldnt hold on....andddd.....his pants got spoiled.....tcchhhhh....!!! may me he should have listened to avril "Keep Holding Onnnnn" ...........just so much to start a new year..!! Resolutions .... everyone makes some resolutions..may be i'll also do it.. but ......right now i am light.....i am enjoying..and now i am off to do some shopping..for myself....of i go!!!.......i want to wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR ..........may god bless you with everything..may success be all yours this whole year round............and be good....do something for nature this year..may be like..STOP USING PLASTIC or TURN VEGETARIAN or may be something for the cause of poor animals.......do it...!! thats the best resolution anyine can ever follow..its easy try it!!!.....>>>>>..........n keep smiling..make others smile..thats the best you can do to anyone...really..........have a wonderful time......
