An evening for Kaminey

Since noon electricity went off and our inverter was almost dead, leaving us in the irritating heat and boredom syndrome. Ahh! finally I, roommates and one old friend decided to get out of home and thought of watching a movie. I and Nilesh wanted to watch Kaminey but other two (Mayur and Soni) wanted to see any other as they had already seen it. They were looking to grab tickets of Ice Age 3 (3D version) or The final destination (again 3D). Everything was set in mind and then we started on bikes to head off towards Sathyam Cinemas which is way far from our place. And finally after hiding from Chennai traffic police (as we don’t have Tamil Nadu’s registration of bikes), we were able to find Sathyam for the very first time.

There was a huge crowd outside it waiting for their shows, the ambiance where you can see some  typical Chennaites who want to spend some time with families or friends or spouses after a long and tiring weekend. On the counters everything was coming in red, yes all the shows were house full. Disappointed, but we decided to take full advantage of our journey to Sathyam and found Bowling Alley arcade on the fourth floor of the building which was not so big but okay for a small group to play and has two Alleys. The whole arcade zone is known as blur which also have PC Gaming (Xbox & Playstation 3) with tens of consoles with good gears to give you realistic gaming experience.

Coming to our game, bowling alley, the facility in par below average. The machine was not accurate and also everything was little congested. hmm…And finally I managed to rank 3rd among us and the game was won by Nilesh by little margin .

After playing I can advise you to have maximum concentration of target to get down all the pins and point your ball towards little right from center to have maximum advantage.

This game made us hungry and finally our famous, one and only Dhaba Express started attracting us for a buffet which is good and light on pockets. And to call it off a awesome evening, beach is the best place to relax your mind. Still our goal of watching movie is not achieved but for sure, kaminey made our saturday beautiful. May be tomorrow, our wish to watch a movie will complete.

P.S. – After returning to home, I found that AC, lights, fans were running unnecessarily and we exhaled few more kg of CO2 in atmosphere and diverted from my pledge for green earth.

Yeh chennai utna bhi bura nahi hai jitna dikhta hai, aur yahan bhi kuch achchi jagah hai jo kabhi kabhi mil jati hai

Mother’s Day!

A Tie That Bind...

It is a second sunday of May and I was desparately waiting for this day since past fifteen days. Wanted to celebrate, enjoy with mom but she is miles away from me today and I can’t touch her, can’t make her feel joyous. Anyway she is with me all the time forever in my heart. Wherever I go, I can connect with her metaphysically.

I had one of the sweetest talk with her today for 14 minutes, I was feeling high with her and very close. She is  also missing me and our tunes are in sync. She is the icon for me who guides me and understand me well. When I am sheding tears, she make me laugh with her serene voice. Whenever I feel low, I love to talk to her. She is the remedy for any disease happen to me.

Today, I also had a great expedition of some of the most touching photographs on flickr @ Katelyn- Thanks!

I also want to wish all the mothers out there in this world who all are very special. Each of them makes us feel comfortable and joyous. Thanks Moms!

Coming back to WordPress.

Hi

I want to come back on wordpress, it is amazing but only problem with WP is they don’t allow custom javascripts on *.wordpress.com accounts which is offered on blogspot. So I have decided to maintain my personal blog at WP and professional blog at Blogspot till I get a domain and I start running my WP there.

Meanwhile, I was reading on matt’s facebook fan page that WordPress is now WP.com, so tiny

Updates this week -

• Had a tough time on Sat, 25th in office due  to a major release and built a new environment. Almost spent 14 hrs continuously and did 6.5 hrs of troubleshooting.
• Tried “stuffed eggplant” dish this weekend, which was delicious; I am proud of myself.
• Got a feedback from supervisor which was just ok, not bad though.
• Found new coffee buddies in office, this buddy is not new to me, he is the one who taught me DBA skills.
• Last week with my mentor, he will be going back to B’lore.

On Geeky parts-

• Started using FeedDemon for reading feeds.
• Still struggling with the performance issues on Vista.  (Thinking again for installing Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope)
• Installed apture on anjulsahu.blogspot.com – I like this tool.

Hope to see you tomorrow here.

Monsoon Love

This is not a poem.

Its the time of lightning, showers and being like a child again

Yeah I am talking about Monsoon, the lovely Monsoon.

With romantic and cool breezes all over, my Heart sings a song,

even my Guitar echoes the sweetest tune with them.

Every adult becoming a child and every child opening their genuine characteristics,

Roads are now rivers. Birds and Animals are enjoying the showers.

Gardens are more greener, Fabulous smell of wet soil,

And I can see few paper boats flowing in the streams generated by water logging.

Municipality people are busy in hiding their weaknesses,

Even PWD people starts doing their work.

Couples start roaming around here and there like a honey bee,

Cool dudes are getting wet and blowing their horns unnecessarily.

Yeah its the time to uncover the acts of everyone, and their sins too.

The poorest road side habitats covering their sheds with plastics, Dogs are searching for a safe locations,

Even I am preparing for monsoons, covering my windows!

After all monsoon brings us happiness, wealth and Flood too.

My love for monsoon is like a 6000 litre tank full of water,

I love it because it will again recharge my tube well,

And also encourage my Mom to make some spicy pakodas.

It brings everyone closer, like you have a chance to share your umbrella with someone.

PS: This time Monsoon is eager to spread love earliest by 14 days breaking the record of 108 years.

जब कोई भीड़ में भी तन्हा हो जाता है

जब कोई भीड़ में भी तन्हा हो जाता है

हर नज़र उसकी नज़रों को टटोलती
कि क्या उनके दिल मे है
और मन ही मन हम खुश हो जाते
आख़िर मे उनका एक कदम बढाना
मेरे दिल का धड़कना, आरजू का जगना
जैसे जुगनू की चमक वैसे आपकी कनक
 इन नज़रों के खेल मे
कभी मेरा हारना तो कभी उनका
पर इस हार मे भी मजा है
मैं तन्हा ही कहीं चले जा रहा हूँ
उसकी मुस्कराहट को दिल में सहेजे
यादो के दामन में खो जाता हूँ

जब मैं भीड़ मे तन्हा होता हूँ
अपने आप को उसकी यादो के साथ पाता हूँ

The day you went away

The day you went away

You left me alone in this selfish world

Your remembrance on every second

Making me dumb, day by day.

The day you went away

You’d stolen my sleeps

Making fluctuation in my beats

stimulating me with your dreams

Now, Ignoring me. Why?

The day you went away

You flew away with my heart.

Rage against the Impossibilities

termination of exams after 15 days of Satanic’ time.

Filed under: Uncategorized

माना बिखरा हूँ मैं अभी,
मैंने ख्वाब पिरोये थे …
तेरी साँसों में गुम हूँ अभी,
मेरी चाहत अधूरी है …

मुश्किलें जब भी आ जायेगी,
दर्द हद से गुजर जाएगा…
कोई गम न फ़िर होगा मुझे,
अगर ख्वाबों में तुम आओगे…

अब तो आदत सी है मुझको ऐसे जीने में…

दूर जितना भी मेरे ..पास तेरे …अब तो आदत सी है मुझे…

This song is dedicated to all the persons who ever felt the ignorance by someone.

But I think that Ignorance is bliss because it encourage my inner selves to fight against this persons and thus makes me more powerful. So dont feel off on being ignored, its the never before experience which counts for our whole life. I want to make the ignorant feel that whatever is being done by him/her, they will realize it soon.

Roses are red, violets are blue

Rose are red, violets are blue

Love never crossed my mind until the day that I met you

Roses are red, violets are blue

When I’m with you my heart feel brand new

Roses are red, violets are blue

At times when I’m blind I could only still see you

Roses are red, violets are blue

When I have nothing else to look forward for I still have you

Roses are red, violets are blue

When thinking of love, it’s like thinking of you

Roses are red, violets are blue

I’ll save my last dance only to dance with you
