Stuck in the storm during way back home from office!

Yesterday was the usual evening I was heading back to home after work. On the midway I was rolling up on my bullet to embankment just before Eco Sapce belandoor, I saw the rubble and dust mixed with cloud in the sky. Down the flyover my bike entered in the freezing air. Slowly the rain drops begin to hit my galirs, and became a heavy rain and thunder in no time. I could feel each nerve in my head filling with blood. Sky becam black spreader the darkness. The buildings were hardly visible. By the time I passed the next flyover near Intel I felt a invisible force has slided my 200 kilos massive bike 2 fleets left to the road. It was pouring. Riders slowed down and stood beside the road. The thrust was so hard that most of the bikes parked beside, fell on the road. Only hand full two wheelers were on the rode now and I was one of them smelling the tore leafs, uprooted trees. I spotted a guy removing the cables stuck from his honda city which fell on it. The rode was full of rubble making harder to everyone to drive. Near the gas tunnel, after JP Morgan it's all open space where it was impossible for nobody to drive. The storm was in its youth. The roof, shades were flying in the sky and hitting the pedestrians and passerby. I could only see BMTC busse were running by then and rest all were stood running, finding out the safe shelters. 

I continued driving till home town but decided to drive slow and gave up when I felt something hitting my helmet rigorously. They were cold white stones which had stopped the entire traffic. I opted and struggled to take the service road and finally got one place with glass door enclosed bakery. Parked my bike and almost forgot to pull the keys back, and ran in, fully wet. I was shivering with cold. There was a freaky sound of stones, falling tin shades. This was the first time in my whole life I have experienced such a huge storm. I am sure the speed of it must be some where around 90 to 100 km an hr. The Bekary staff did not mind me in there though I was fully wet and drenching. It must be a small 12x20 shop holding 6 other people. One birthday candle and few mobile phones were the only source of light. One girl was trying to fold the her shattered umbrella which she could not manage and finally left it on one corner. I picked my backpack down to see if my Laptop and mobile phone are not watered. I yet asked one boy to give me a plastic cover to keep my gadgets safe. I was frightened and hungry. The flam of candle was strong enough to make va piece of crack visible. I asked for one and gulped it without seeing anywhere and ate like I have never had it before. I noticed a scary and disturbed girl speaking over a phone and crying. Later she told that the tin roof with POP false ceiling fell just after her and she was not able to come out from the trauma. She felt thrust of air on her face when the massive rubble dropped just inches after her. I was wiping the glass to see the disaster heppening outside on the road. Leafs were dropped from the trees in rows on medians. People were running hear and there. Roads turned in to the rivers of mud. A poor mother was holding a baby were asking for the price of a water bottle in the cake shop and finally managed to buy one. Every one under this roof was scared, confused and quite. There was no sound other then the thunder, and stones. Faces were cold like we all were waiting for death in the next moment. 

I wiped the glass door again and noticed the traffic is now rolling. I paid to staff for the peace of cake and decidedly walk out to drive back home to see my wife and some to who I already phoned that I a safe. Sound of my bike gave me confidence to drive back home with freaky and strange memories.

Paintings

One afternoon, I was walking in a shopping mall randomly going through the Shops and things. It was a weekday therefore only few shoppers were appearing in. Glowing sign boards, Lights and LEDs were blinking to catch people. Electronics, Grossery, Coffee shops, Food beverages, Clothing and many more nothing less. Kids screaming, sound of rem

ote operated Toy cars negating the soft rock music coming our from speakers attached to the walls and ceilings of the Mall. Few old folks where just enjoying the view, decorations and soft music under the breeze of centralized air conditioning pretending that they are just alone. Toy trains passed through the ground floor where kids crying on their mother demanding a ride.

I took an escalator to move myself to the second level of the floors and reached unknowing to and painting shop. The magnificently drawn paining were mounted on the walls, tables. Few were kept on the floors. The heave and bigger frames were just rested on the walls and racks. Most of the art work was hand painted where very few were printed digitally. Almost all the frames were looking but the painting on canvas were the the most attractive as the color looked enhanced with the great grid texture. I see all sized of paintings showing various moods. Not only drawing the imagination on canvas is an art but also reading and understanding them is an art too. Modern Art, Classics, Sketches, Blank and whites, Embossed, Flowery, White horses running on beaches all were appearing incredibly beautiful and articulating a mood.

I never intended to buy one but finally zeroed at one - Seven white horses running on the beach where the milk like water waves were sprinkling every where under the clear blue sky. I called an assistant to help me closing the deal, imaging myself on which wall the painting will go. I apparently set in each direction virtually and confirmed within to mount it right above my couch facing my Television in drawing room.

Well, wrapped up and started heading towards and coffee shop to grab my Latte, right opposite to this Painting cum Art Gallery.

Hunger for food or knowledge!

In early days, there were no existence of Universities and Educational Institutions. However, Guru's for certain competencies were widely available by whom youngsters used to take their early education. The ancient methodologies were followed like Veydic Mathematics, Medicines etc. invented by Monks and Guru's. We are aware of few inventors and Gurus, but most of them are unknown. Its been said that -  whatever we are learning today is because of the hard work and great researches of them.

These small institutions where only for the children of the Royal Families and few common but rich citizen. Because of highly dominating but fewer rich population, common people were not allowed to leverage such facilities. They used to learn by themselves by experiences of their parents. But it is impossible to take up subjects like Maths, Science, Geography without someones guidance of course with few exceptions. So the questions was how could these common people have pass one the knowledge and inventions their predecessors?

May be when Acharya and Monks used to teach and preach their Royal and Rich students, the servants and concierges must be indirectly taking up lessons by hearing or seeing the subjects going in the classes. Consequently - this knowledge must have gained and transferred from Concierges to their kids and later to the rest of the underprivileged population.

Today, things have been changed. We live in a free country after collapse of all Kings and their Kingdom. We all live in era of technology and digital world. World class education is available at our finger tips. Almost everybody has the power of money and access to great libraries having tremendous verities of art and literature to such an extent that anyone can gain wast knowledge on almost any topic by ourselves. Every state of our county has at least one University under which has several collages and schools. Every class of the society has access to various schools such as - Government, Private, Autonomous institution with varieties of trained faculties.

However, still we have certain underprivileged population who are still struggling for Food, Education and clean Water. They are to be spent their entire life leaving in slums, foot paths, Railway and Bus stations. They are those migrants who opted or forced to leave their villages to move in closed cities. Non-Profit organization are providing help to certain extent to these families not only with education but also providing training and employment opportunities. The Men and Women go to work leaving there children behind with these NGOs and coping some how to live better life.


In total - whether it is early days or present, we all have to dependent on some thing to gain knowledge by means or institutions, library, parents, friends, colleagues, neighbors and society. Curiosity drives human being to learn no matter which ever the class, place they belongs to. Knowledge is within reach to everybody.

Safar ka sifar

आज  मै मेरे हेड फोन्स घर भूल आया
तो पता चला की कितनी दूर सफ़र करता हूँ

पुल पेड़ ढलानों में लोगों के बीच लोहे की भीड़ पार करता
कितनी दूर सफ़र करता हूँ

पूरे दिन की रोज़ी बटोरता, डरते डरते ताना  बुनता
कितनी दूर सफ़र करता हूँ

घर से अलग अपनों को छोड़
हर ऱोज सफ़र करता हूँ

Kho chuka hoon !

Kho chuka hoon ab talak ke bas ab aur kuch nahi chahiye

Dosaton ka saath aur sattsang ab nahin chahiye

Jee raha tha tang galiyon kee chmak aur dhundh main
Daude paron-main doosaron ki, bhang tha main ranj main

Ab jab pata chala ki tab tak ho gayee thee der re!
Udatee hoyee titali ke par main, aur rang nahi chahiye

Kho chka hoon............

Un explainable

Love between Parents and their childerns can only be felt when you become parents of your own kids.

Couple of days before I was playing with my 18 months son and all of sudden he seemed me low and when I put him on my shoulder he just slept. I thought he must be tired and need some rest. He felt warm to me after a while. He was 102.9 when checked on thermometer.

His whole jiggles laughter, god language talk was gone in sleep. He was unable to open his eyes. 

Jam room moved !

My Jam is now moved to another location which is a fully residential area unfortunatly. So can treat music as noice and may disturb the neighbourhood. Worked on some covers last week and having a gut feel that new additions will sound good. Well, there is a chance of adding more instruments to give more fill to the song.

One new lead guitarist added to our group now and let's see how far he runs with us. Trying to improve my vocals. and find if some one wants to sell his Harmonium I can practice early mornings with it.

MR509 A Musical Desi Band

I’ve got to know that I am surrounded by armature musicians and formed a group in my organization.

I have been invited one day to organize an event in my company considering my event execution skills. I have chose only the Stage, Lights, Sound and Cultural part init. I have chosen my self to sing on stage with my acoustic guitar and a manger who is a good drummer. I picked a guy who sang on one of my previous show who could do on Keyboard, Base Guitar and Vocals.

We have got a Meeting room 509 where we transported all our instruments and electrical to practice for the show 15 days before the show. We struggled lot to finalize the songs and finally we have got what can mad the public. And then the show time and that was became a big hit. Every one appreciated our work and collaboration. Finally we started planning to create our own band since our frequencies were matching. I brought a new Electric guitar kit and we are now jamming every evening after office. We still have MR 509 with us for jamming. We have recently got a composer and a lead guitarist in out band. One day thought why don’t we compose of our own and we started doing that. We are on our very first song which is amazing. I am sure everybody gonna like it once released.

Being Masterbated!

Saturday was hectic. Went to Hope of homes and met some people who live in the world we created for them. All ladies with small hair cut and plain donated gown. Some are sleeping under the trees and lobbies, some as looking to some one; some comes to you and asks you your name. But they never miss to say "thanks and bye bye see you again!" on your return. If any one want social service this is the real one. Weak hearted will surrender from it. How come a son can leave his old mother to a railway station who gave him a birth and made him grown to survive in this world for years? There were some old ladies who speak English better then me. This notifies that its not only lower but higher class too who are responsible for the creation of such old homes. This place is where its hard to breath comfortably.

Beside it there was another place where kids range form 5 days to 10 year lives and they do not even know about their biological parents. But yes, they have guardian and some good people from the outer world who stays with them or who comes to meet them every possible weekend and gives them chocolates and candies, food and clothes. That is the really joy when you give them little happiness and smile for their complicated painful lives. I noticed – a 6 year old was feeding rice to 4 year old with disabilities. Normally I will run after my kids for next 10 year to make sure that he gets his food. Not important that every one must go to such places but if you feel from their point of view, may be you will realize that at least some one should be always there for them. I was so angree on my self that we live in a society where you see and a new born thrown in a dustbin just like garbage. How a woman who gives him/her a birth after carrying form 9 months. Even animals never do that. But thanks to such orphanages and Ashrams where such kids are taken care and such old populations can live without humiliation and abuse.

Human –Please don’t create hell on earth at least for your beloved ones.

I will not leave my family & Motherland !!

Some of the biggest state of the country is the most corrupted state with reference of news. I feel each 60 Kms within this state must have Special Economic Zones and each 300 Kms an airport. When a common man will get the employment and Money they will sense their past of poverty and un-education. Crime will come down and development will begin. Parents will then allow their children to get education and you will not watch the news full of dirty politics and corrupt politicians celebrating their success in election. But the initiative should come form Public means “us and the government”. We should understand that it’s a mutual benefit. Woman empowerment and education must be encouraged since they are the first teacher of their children. Later no metro city will be flooded and complain about these poor emigrants who had left their loving family and motherland alone just for a job and financial stability and security.

Fatherhood

Today is the day came when we are done with all out packings to move to Hospital. Doctor called us at 2 PM to the Labor Room and get Preeti Admitted to the Hospital. Baby is kicking hard in the womb and ready to see the World. I would like to give my first Ashirwad to my Daughter or Son and want to welcome hem/her to live with fun, fashion and Happiness. I wish for her/him to grow and earn big name and be a very famous personality and shine like a star in the dark sky.

My car fuel tank is full and Money is stuffed in my pocket. We all of us had our lunch and getting ready to go to the Hospital with lots of excitement and anxiety about what is going to be next day. This is the day which I, Preeti and my parents dream thousand times. Papa is very happy and calling every day to hear the holy word.

Surprisingly I am becoming so strong to make my family safe from all the negatives and evil eye. I am realizing the existence of god and spreading it to who ever comes to my way. In these 9 months I have spoken to many people about the Pregnancy and its experience even without seeing whether they are paying interested or not. This wonderful experience is incredible. The baby moments and its touch to my palms electrify the senses and gives the realization of fatherhood each time he/she kicks.

Dogs are barking alone

Its lovely rain, trees are wet, bugs are flying over the steet lamps and shinning in the dark. Sound of rain drops on the leaf is spreading the freshness everywhere. The aroma of dried leafs and warm soil is making the mind calm. Series of lamps are looking a bright goldan Neckless. Dogs are barking. I am not tired even after the hactic Thursday. Sipped some spice tea. Want a tight sleep.

I am not Political

Every Morning I start my day reading news paper. If the paperboy is late then he at least listen one dialogue from me.

I should not say that I am so called very intelligent enough to talk about corruption and politic but I should also not stop thinking about it. To be frank, I am little blunt talking about this topic. There is not even a single page in the New Paper where corruption is not published. Pick any topic say, Politics, Games, Finance, Fuel, Police, Communications, Security threat, Science or Cinema. Corruption kissed every one every place. There are few lines which seem to be right say Gold Price, Silver Price, Stock market ups and downs. Some funny cartoons, talk about Sex. If I open the city news in the New Paper it’s full of nudity. And this is the first thing I want to glance as common human being. I don’t know what impact it will give to the under age’s. If sensor board is for differentiate the A and U certified movies then which board are there to regulate porn in the news paper.
Let’s not move out from the subject - If I watch news channels to update myself for what is latest happening, I get irritated about the redundant talk/new whole day. I feel that headlines are just good to know about what are the latest. For details programs we don’t have time and we don’t need to get into that details. One of the leading news channels was explaining about the heavy rain in Mumbai recently and saying that “You can see the water level on the road is coming to my knees!!” and the moment camera focused down and the water level was hardly touch his feet. May be its right or they were late to capturing the water level at the correct time.
I tried to watch some other entertainment channels. Some programs are threatening the participants on the reality shows like dance, fear factor, singing. All the judges or hosts are just making the noise and showing their anger. The participants are abusing on national television thinking they are so called modern and latest.
The music channels are not less than porn videos which are showing the item numbers. Sex is famous and everyone likes including me. The kind of music now days are good but the lyrics are just gone off. Either the lyrics are copied from the old melodies or the new lyrics are so vulgar. New lyricists are no longer having good romantic sensible words to add in their songs. I just prefer to listen only melodies now or I would say I am depended on it.
Adopting this entire thing, still I am not unhappy. The thing is, I don’t want to take the responsibility to clean this mess. I just know if the road is bad, ware rubber shoes instead building the rubber coated road. Gandhi well said – You clean yourself first, rest will be cleaned it selves.

Satisfaction!

Today I realized -

1. I reached to office 20 min before time and I felt so comfortable and happily received and gave the morning wishes.

2. I have completed all my planned and unplanned assignment.
3. I had less food and my stomach is happy.
4. I am leaving to home on time.
5. I rejected all the tension which is not under my control.

The satisfaction comes only from the work.

When brain dosen't allow!

Every morning I start at 9 to my office and come back on 7 in the evening ever since I joined this company. I am so used to of 30 min of mail checking as a first thing in the morning and then tea break at of 15 min after that. From then to lunch meetings and work assigned. 30 Min walk in the campus post lunch and then 3pm to 530pm work meetings and games. Afterwards 1 hrs of workout in the office Jim and back to home.

Now.........I am assigned to a project just for 7 days to support my UK business team I had no way other then accepting the work at UK hours that is 1pm to 10 pm. The time span from last moment of General shift and UK shift I took it as holiday but the first day at office with the UK shift my brain was still as I am at 9 at office but actually it was 1300 hrs. 30 min of mails checking I got the urge of tea break which was absolute malfunction of the brain since it was time to lunch where its was the second thing for me in the morning. My whole schedule is now distracted and I am standing no where. I have lost my focus on work and I am writing the blogs on free time which I can utilize for learning.

Thank god it’s only till 8th July. After that I will again in the perfect.

Thanks
Brain.............my brain.

Keys!!

I was under the warm roof of my Mini car at the open parking lot of the Apollo Clinic waiting for my wife's turn for the blood sampling. We have been told to wait in the common AC lobby but we've chosen to wait out side in the lovely weather. I push my seat back and put my feet almost on the dashboard enjoying the moment to becoming father after more 3 months. My wife was busy collecting hospital bills and making it organized for the next discussion with the Gynecologist. She face was shinning like Perl in the sun and she was equally happy for her motherhood. I was watching around the parking lot fast moving vehicles on the highway just opposite to my mini car.

I was looking at my watch to go to see the pathologist in the clinic and suddenly we decide to go out of the car and give the blood sample. I just locked my car and checked twice if the doors are still open. I just taken the first step of the staircase and saw vacant covered parking area. Immediately I decided to park my car in there since the sun came out hard that time after the lovely weather.

I grabbed my pocket to fetch the keys but I could not find it. I check my other pockets and asked my wife where the car keys are? She replied - You should me know it honey, just locked the car. Shit - I forgot the key in the car!!!

She calmed me down and told me that it happens some times. You were in the good mood and enjoying the time of fatherhood so it’s just came out of your mind. Don’t worry we will go home and get the duplicates. I told ohh! You wait here I will get it. You will be tired using public transport. Bus she insists me until I agreed to take her with me.

We gave the blood sample to the Pathology department and rushed to catch some local buses. Buses are well maintained, specious and air conditioned. The bad thing is my apartment doesn’t fall on the bus route so we decided to catch the bus to the nearest point and then we will catch a three wheeler. We walked on the pedestrian way and passed some placed like some meat shop and Pork shops. We didn’t have the option other then covering our nostrils. We walked further and crossed the traffic jam. The road was smoky and ears would have lost its function if we stay there longer.

Finally we reached to the bus stop. My wife was sweating already and I was trying to speak to three wheeler driver for the round trip. The Negotiation failed and we ended up to adhere to out pervious decision to catch the bus. I lost one bus while negotiating with the three wheeler driver. I requested my wife to a shadow which is a small Fast Food center near the Buss Stop. Suddenly the three wheeler driver popped up who was asking for 4times of the actual fare. He looked at my angered face since I lost my bus patience to talk to him and gone back to his seat with the bad smile.

By seeing my wife face I could easily make out that she is tired and over heated. I saw bus coming towards Bus Stop. I raised my hand to stop the bus thought I knew we are standing on the Bus Stop. Anyway, we stepped in to the air conditioned Bus and relived in a bit. I paid the fare of both to the Bus conductor and stuffed in the seat. The bus took just 10 min to drop us at the half way of our apartment.

We stepped out of the bus and walked to the other side of the road hopping for some honest Three Wheeler. God hearted and granted out wish immediately. We got the Three Wheeler who agreed to do the round trip to the same place on the standard meter rate per Kilometer defined by local government. I politely requested the driver who was around 65 year old to drive slow on the humps for the sake of my baby inside he mother womb. We looked each other with the smile after a long time and hold our palms. I gone back to my thought to become a father and started thinking about general questions like – Would he be baby boy or girl? If boy his name should be heavy in sound so that his fellow class mate could not be able to make a joke of his name. If girl he name should not sound too romantic to avoid sill boys comes across her. The driver was really good he took my words and drove very slowly on the broken road and humps. He stopped on the railway crossing seeing the red signal on it. I was in the dreams and giving the sweet smile to my wife. I heard the sound of Train who just passed by and we begin to out apartment.

My wife fetched the duplicate keys and we rushed back to place where we caught the three wheeler. I paid the fare more then the bill on meter since the old man requested to do so due to hike on the gas price. I paid him knowingly since he took care of the humps one the whole way as a tip.

We caught the bus again and reached the bus stop from where we started. I say the same three wheeler driver who I first asked for the round trip. He was still waiting for some unknown passenger. My wife was very tired and became so down. She was almost unable to walk to the clinic where my locked car was parked under the sun- She was starving. We stopped thrice and finally reached to the door. I received the duplicated keys and opened the door.

I opened the door for her and made her comfortable and switched on the AC. We drove to the nearest McDonalds outlet and grabbed out meals. I promised myself to make a check list before I lock my car.

Grover's Murder - why free!!

The judicial bench having tons to knowledge made free Maria for her charges they why a general public is giving their opinion on road and media. Why don't they go to court and reopen the case. I know there are loop holes and I am sympathized for Grover’s loss.

Close to Open!

Today I applied to cancel the Hypothecation on my vehicle and I am very happy that I had closed all my loan account. Now its time to take the biggest loan of my life which is HOME LOAN! After a long try and grace of god me and my wife found an affordable apartment at Bangalore. I had have met so many Bankers and chosen the lesser worst. I could not be able to get it from the government one. The processes are hectic and support get worst when you become their customer. But any way I had applied for loan and let see how much fund will be sanctioned. Thanks to RBI Reserve Bank of India to make the standards.

Today I also met Architect of my apartment and gave the big list of modifications. There are lost of changes in bathrooms.

Finally after a long discussion I came back to my rented home. I have taken an appointment from a Broadband internet service provider and decided to take the demo who came one and half hours late from the given time. He did not give me the demo but came with a price list to discuss the plan. At the end I called him tomorrow and told me appear on time next day for demo.

But the decision is already made. I am now just using the internet from mobile phone which is ok to check emails, social websites and read blog.

I am trying to write my stories.........my moments.
