Vague Blog...

what is our professions doing to our personal lives...we just get so involved in our profession that we forget that we have a personal life..everyone of us are interested in making a big name and chunks of money at the expense of our personal life and relationships..we sometimes have to wait for weekends to speak to our own parents staying in the same home..Thanks to us we can call our homes as houses now..Fine all this apart...I miss being lazy after joining work,lazy in the sense having something to do but not doing it..after getting into this profession my mind is always occupied with something or the other related to work and work only..even in my dreams i just keep thinking about work and how to perform better..yes i was the same during college too,i always was occupied with studies but then i used to hang out with friends and spend time with my parents..not able to do this now..may be my office timings are like that..yeah look at me i am just giving reasons..this is one bad thing among us.we always try to blame others for everything..
Just wanna conclude by saying we gottu make a clear distinction between our professional life and personal life and balance in such a way that we are happy on both fronts..

Innovative Film City...

Me and my friends had been planning an outing from a long time..In the middle of the week my friend just gave me a call and told me about this place..So i just checked the internet to find more about the place..Got a decent idea of what it has and so we decided to go to that place that saturday..

We started near the shell petrol bunk on Mysore Road and finally when everyone came we started the drive at about 9.10 and not knowing where it is went all the way to Ramanagar..then realized it was near Toyota Kirloskar motors..There is a road opposite to Toyota Kirloskar motors..Its about a 5 km drive in the road..We reached there at about 10:30..seeing the board "open for trial run" we thought the place wasn't worth it..but hearing that certain things are completed we bought the tickets and went in..We first went to "Louis Tussad's wax museum",it was a good one..there were pretty good collection..some good some average..Then we went to "Ripley's believe it or not museum"..its a pretty good one with good collection..then we were hungry and went to hog..there are only 2 stalls open..one north style and one south style..we had pretty good food at reasonable price and then went for go karting..Its a pretty good track for karting..cars were good which can speed upto 70 easily..since the track was newly made it was slippery..we enjoyed it thoroughly..its 100RS for 6 laps..safety measures need to be increased here..then there is a collection of kiddo games..we went for dashing cars and there u have sponge balls whihc cane be loaded to cars and shot at each other..since the guns werent working we took the balls and started hurling at each other..it was good fun..Then we went to a artificial beach..not a big one but since we were wanting to escape from the heat we went and just enjoyed to the core..it was still under construction..then we played volley ball on sand..we spent a lot of time here..then there was a dino park..where they have kept statues of various dinos and speakers there will be making noise always...We didn't have time to go to funplex which they told was a very good game arcade..This is the time to go cos its cheap inly 50 rupees entry fee..

The other things coming up are 21 screen multiplex,mirror maze,haunted mansion,cartoon park,fossil museum and much more..It will be fully functional by april and heard its gonna be very expensive..Nice place to go and relax and have fun..

Can anyone give me an answer?

This incident happened around 5 years ago and it will be remembered throughout my life.

I with a couple of my friends had been to Malleshwaram to have tasty butter dosas and had parked my vehicle opposite the circle cricket ground,when i was taking my vehicle back a small boy came and asked for money, i just took a 2 rupee coin and gave it to him,he demanded more but i said its enough and came home...donno why but the incident kept haunting me so i again went to that parking lot just to find that boy and i found him..I spoke to him and asked about who he is and what he does..he told he is alone and stays there in the ground itself with a couple of other kids and told he eats food from the money he gets by looking after vehicles and sometimes wiping cars..felt sad and handed him a 20rupees note..he was happy and i came off...I wanted to help the boy but how..just giving him some money doesn't serve the purpose..I had heard about free education and free food in schools..but i had also read about the quality of food they provide...Taking this particular case i analyzed the forthcomings if he joined those schools..may be he will get education till 10th and a glass of milk and a meal per day but what is he supposed to do for breakfast and dinner..hw can he afford money for his books..suppose he got books too what will he do for his food should he again stand in the parking lot and earn his breakfast and dinner..he told sometimes standing the whole day he may earn just 20 rupees..and hw many days he may have to starve if he went to school..when will he have time to study..suppose he overcame all this and completed his SSLC..what will he do further..does government fund his future education or does he get a job with SSLC..NO is the answer i got..he may again have to stand in the same parking lot and earn his food..So whats the use of free primary education for such kids??.. I may help this kid but there are thousands of kids like this..what can we do help them???I may just write a blog and be sad but is it going to help such kids in anyway..I want to help them but donno how..

One way which attracted me was what PESIT is doing,they gather boys about 15-18yrs age group and give them primary training in carpentry and welding and other petty jobs in the mechanical workshops so that they could make a living out of it..

I request all those people who went through this blog to kindly spare a moment and think about these kids and do whatever you can to help these kids..
They are the future of our country,please let them have the opportunity and support to make the future bright..

Convocation!!!A memorable Day

Yes writing a post after quite a long while..Work kept me at bay..

Convocation...A day which marks the success of a graduate.Yes on my induction the day i looked forward was the convocation..What a long and memorable journey it has been..i almost remember every moment of it..yeah induction was on 20th september 2003 and convocation 19th january 2008..a journey which prepares you to make a smooth transition from a student to a professional....
First year just went by getting into the groove of engg..made friends..wrote lots of internals and then exams..second year was fun..internals and extra classes had become a routine..we had got used to friends and having fun was what we did for the rest of engg..sleeping and talking in class was the best way to while away time..numerous games get invented amidst the 4 walls of a classroom and inspiration of course would be boring lectures and encouraging classmates..there would be that petty differences among gangs and those never ending competition among toppers and of course the ever enjoying last benchers..man what fun college is...bringing mobile to class and hiding it from teachers..having food during lectures..planning a mass bunk numerous times...

all this wouldn't have happened so memorable if not for the friends who r with u at all times..we would miss them badly..of course very badly..spending most of the day with those ppl for 4 years and suddenly u won't find them for months or years and some may be never..memories are what we can cherish but can never re live them...

convocation is when you feel happy for becoming a graduate but at the same time it hurts to say good bye to college and all those friends who have made the college life cherish able..

All the best to all you ppl..

Victory for team India.....

Ah!!!after all the crap that happened at Sydney there was a game of cricket at Perth..As the history goes its the venue where Australia have tried to tame their strong opponents by firing their fast bowlers but its the same strategy that backfired for them when the inspirational team India decided to defy the rude Aussies once again to stretch their record of 16 consecutive wins to 17..he he..this will haunt the aussies..A win India should be proud of..everyone played their part..excellent captaincy and bowling from Kumble..Brilliant batting by Dravid,Tendulkar and very very special Laxman..Excellent bowling from Pathan,Singh and Ishant..Altogether a great performance..

Legends of Indian Cricket..

I am an eternal fan of cricket and an admirer of Indian Cricket team..I have great reverence for some of the cricketers..I am emotionally attached to the team cos they play for my country..there have been many moments when i had to hide my tears of sadness due to an Indian team loss just not to feel embarrassed in front of others..Some matches that hurt me a lot were losses at Chennai(record 194 scored by Saeed Anwar)...Sharjah match against australia where india qulified for the final and won it thanks to brilliant effort by sachin..Loss to pakistan at chennai test match by 18 runs..loss in the 96 world cup against australia and sri lanka...Fine there are lots..But some of the players who have been through all such times and helped Indian Team proud of many victories are what i am going to take you through in this blog..

First and foremost my heart salutes and at the same time feels for the great man Anil Kumble..a gentleman of the game with perseverance as his middle name has helped India to win numerous times..his dedication and hard work are admirable..but sadly he hasn't got the credit he deserves..perhaps no Indian bowler is as great as he is..In the era of batsmen he has been over shadowed but never has he shown it..no matter what he keeps coming with his performances..A humble honest and a true fighter of the game..A great ambassador of Indian cricket..

Secondly i will talk about the genius Sachin Tendulkar..a man who made impossible possible..he almost holds 90% of the records when it comes to batting..he has at times carried the burden of Indian batting entirely on his shoulders..he is a dignified and respectable personality..his passion and dedication to Indian team is invaluable..Thanks to him Indian cricket reached a new level..but i would have loved him to be more proactive..

Next my Idol,personal favorite,the Wall Mr.Rahul Dravid..grit,determination,loyalty,perfection personified..A great gentleman and a consistent performer..he has many records to his credit but like Kumble he did struggle to get the credits he deserved but strove hard and eventually got it..His consistent performance was the key for India being victorious in most of the matches from 1996 to present..He has alone as his nick suggests has stood like a wall and saved so many matches for India..He just can do anything for the benefit of the team right from wicket keeping to fit in an extra player to open the innings..I always regret the idea of taking him out of the number 3 position in both ODI's and tests..his presence there would have been more beneficial for th team..Admirable sports person..

Then there is Sourav Ganguly..an able leader..one of the finest batsmen India has ever produced..his batting was just mystical to watch but he lost his touch after a while and struggled for about 2 years but his comeback is a tribute his "never say die" spirit..he went through a lot of humiliation but in the end he himself earned the respect he deserved..i have always admired his "an eye for and eye"attitude thanks to which many victories were possible for India under his able leadership..If he hadn't lost his touch in batting..i am sure he would have a been tough competition for Sachin for many records..

Then there is very very special Laxman..elegance and simplicity personified..One person who has always had the need to prove himself despite some mind boggling performances..his majestic wrist work is just a pleasure to watch..his lazy cover drives are a treat for the eyes..i feel for him cos he was the most over shadowed player in the Indian team..but he is a silent performer..

Thanks to these legends Indian team is at an honorable position..

cricketers for the future..Irfan Pathan,Robin Uthappa..Sreesanth..Yuvraj..Dhoni..i would like to see Kaif shine as well..

Umpiring India vs Australia @SCG(2008)

Huh!!!Umpiring at its worst..ya what else do u expect when u have Steve Bucknor given the job..Damn it!!!Decisions can change the course of the game...Are they really mistakes or purely intentional..doesn't seem mistakes to me when it happens against one side for the majority of times..Crap!!!players can't show reactions against those morons..What have the umpires gottu lose..but for players,its their careers,pride of their country...Its high time ppl should raise their voices against the indignity being caused to the game..How much should players like Sachin and Dravid take..Gentlemen in the true sense these 2 are..apart from being role models for their cricketing talent,they can be admired for their behavior...Yes that apart..let me just talk through some rough decisions that happened through what i call one of the disgraced test matches in terms of umpiring..

1.Ponting edged a ball from ganguly down the legside and dhoni caught the ball off the ground unlike some australians who touch the ground with the ball (may be some superstition )but the umpire probably had his Ipod on not to hear the edge and must have been sleeping away to glory behind the sun glasses not to see the edge..

2.Then ponting was given LBW for a ball which he edged onto his pads..ponting cribbed as if someone had cheated him his meal..ya but it was very decent for the referee(yes it was innocence and dignity personified by ponting)..Only decision against australia..

3.Symond's stumping..hey come on i cannot blame the third umpire for this..may be he was watching porn on his tv and suddenly he had to make a decision..he might have pressed one of the buttons or he might have been shown some other replay by the aussie cameras..

4.Then Symond's got an edge off Ishant's bowling..hey come on i and the commentators and indian players saw and heard the edge..how can the umpire,may be he hasn't cleaned his ears for ages..and how can he see an edge..fine..why is he supposed to see the edge...oh he is the umpire... is he???Ridiculous!!!yeah Ishant trying to aspire his career by getting batsmen out and showing his disappointment at the wrong decision is infact ridiculous for the referee..of course he doesn't have the right to do so cos he doesn't hail from australia.

I have lost count on the number of decisions given in the favour of australians during their batting..

5. Dravid just padded a ball to gilchrist,aussies started appealing and buckor gave it out...was it LBW or caught behind???commentators didn't have a clue i don't think even dravid did..Important wicket and aussies wanted to get it somehow,no matter how cheap they might have to go..Gilchrist considered one of the honest guys of cricket appealed so convincingly that any umpire could have been fooled,then obviously foolish bucknor did get fooled..

6.Thank God!!!This wasn't given..Dhoni's gloves probably kissed the ball and it flew in the air..ponting dived across and took the catch and with the ball on ground as support stood up and started appealing..grow up ponting,this isn't gully cricket and none will be given out for bump catches..oh i am sorry bucknor is the umpire..Bad luck ponting..he was thoroughly disappointed..

7.Ganguly who was batting magnificently edged a ball to slip..clarke picked it up from the ground and appealed..(catching the ball by touching the ball to ground is a superstition) ..benson just looked at the innocent slip fielder ponting for assistance and he gave it as out..i have seen umpires taking assistance from the square leg umpire but ..fine cut the crap...
