The Year behind

Hi All,

I was planning to write this post since a long time, and the deal was that either I write it before 31^st or I don’t write it at all.

Right now it looks like this post will be out..

So after reading a lot of stuff from other blogs , websites and people here goes my rants of the year.. :p

 

The year started with a not so good note as I was still not satisfied with my switch to this new company.

Then I had to postpone my outing of the year till May.

But I also got a very good team here and my efforts bore fruits of success in the mid year..

On the personal front I had the most ups and downs…

Had a lot of family issues … this is the first year I have not celebrated Diwali with my parents… or any other festival as a matter of fact…

Got my first DSLR… this was one of the best achievements of my life… I never knew I loved photography so much and that I had the skills…

The biggest achievement?? The new member who will soon join my family…I am a bit worried and lot  happy for it…

Then came the rough patch of year after my Gujarat tour in may..

The rough patch is still going on with my dear wife.. and I don’t see any solution for that in near future..

The year ends with a bang as I met my college friends and got to meet my best friend from college… now that we are on the whatsapp group.. I hope the contact remains in the near future as well…

Made some good friends and really good friends   in the office…

I did some new things which I never expected would be so nice… like bowling…

I also got a chance for doing  some stupid things like snooping in others lives… but I learned a lot in this process.. especially the fact that Ignorance Is Bliss

I feel matured … patient… enlightened… and stupid … as the year comes to an end…

I know this is not even a fraction of what has happened.. but these are the things which I do remember very clearly..

So all is well that ends well J

An mosaic with most of the events ..

The Connection

I was having my daily dose of Quora posts when I encountered this image….

I was already in a similar thought process and this image boosted me up to come up with a post.

 

I always wanted a partner who would connect to my thoughts and ideas.

I had a lot of friends and I did at a point met a few people with whom I was able to connect.

But things didn’t turn out as expected because I was not mature to understand my needs and wants or because the connection was not strong enough.

Then a time came for me to decide whether I should wait for the right person or go ahead with someone I thot was right.

I chose the 2nd option.

I don’t regret my decisions at least not in public ..and so I won’t regret this one too..

I have seen a lot of people waiting the whole life for the correct person… and I am still to find someone who actually found one.

No I  am not saying that such people do not exist or anything… the thing is I have not yet seen any one…

This could be because now I don’t want to see that ….

Sometimes I still find someone who  I feel I could connect to but now I have stopped trying …

But I still ponder …what if I had chose the 1^st option and found the connection….

Feeling blue

Hi All,

Back after a long time..

Was going through some serious highs and lows in life…

But this weekend changed a lot of things..

Had an office outing and met some college friends.. feeling rejuvenated now.

Sometimes I don’t understand what is wrong in my life.. things are so good and still I lack the peace and content.

I always think it’s all my fault.

I have always expected a lot more from everyone…

There is a lot to write but I don’t want to… I wish I could..

Bbye…

december 16th

This date has been a bit memorable for me since a long time..

Nothing very special but it all started with the hindi movie “16 December”

 

After that I had a college friend whose b’day was on this date..

I still remember staying up late to wish her.

And then I got a call from her just  15 mins before midnight  saying that it’s her birthday..

My surprise for her was spoilt but I njoyed the moment..

2 years later I was celebrating an office friend’s birthday on this date..

and next year I was on my honeymoon in Ooty.

Last year it was the ill-fated Nirbhaya’s case…

I still remember a bit of fight with my wife when an event reminder went ON on my phone about “her” b’day.

My wife wanted to know why is it still there in my reminder list..

I removed it..

It’s been long time I have met her and have almost completely forgotten her.. except for the times when my wife reminds me of my past deeds

[sorry dear wife.. I was a bit different then… believe me now I love only U]

Few days back I got a reminder mail from “birthday alarm “ reminding me of her birthday.

The problem is that I don’t remember  my credentials for the website and cant remove the reminders .. else I want to remove a couple more :p

Yesterday my wife told me that 16^th is a special day.. it was not much time after I had checked the reminder from birthday alarm and I was frightened that she still remembers it..

Later I found out that it was our marriage anniversary according to Lunar calendar and I heaved a sigh of relief.. J

And  today morning when my old phone rang of a birthday reminder [Yes we still use that phone with a different sim] .. I was shocked.. I thought it was reminder for her birthday..

My wife turned it off and told me it was my office friend’s birthday… the guy I mentioned at top.. [sorry no names]

It reminded me of lot of old memories and I faded away in Nostalgia(during bath) … :p

 

It takes a few moments to create memories and a lifetime to forget them … [If no one has said it  then I own this line J]

 

W  A  R  M    R  E  G  A  R  D  S  |  D  A  R  S  H  A  N     G  A  N  D  H  I

I thought I was the only one to do this..

The above pic says it all.

I do it almost every time I shave and a couple of times I have left a French beard just to remove it after my wife says it’s no symmetrical..

There are so many things common between us all but we assume that we are the only ones [or one of the very few] who do it..

Need of the day is to open up to share the thoughts so that all get to know it..

Facebook does help but I prefer Quora ..

I know Quora is for sharing knowledge .. but I have learned a lot of similarities across  geographies and cultures..

I think this is it for this post..

Planning to add a couple more posts in short time..

Bbye till then!!

The Chocolate and Cheese fast

Hi,

So m back after a short break.

Actually there is nothing much new going in my life except the “Chocolate and Cheese ” Fast.

A couple of weeks ago I was having severe pain in my abdomen and was diagnosed with kidney stone.

The doc asked me to keep a tab on some vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes etc.

I was fine with that. The real problem started when he asked to avoid Cheese and Chocolates.

I LOVE both these items and am always ready to savor anything made using these.

But it has been 2 full weeks since I have not ate a bite of any of these [except for one slice of chocolate cake :p].

I am dearly missing it now and wish the stone comes out quickly so that I can start munching it again.

But the good part is I feel I am losing out some weight because of it. …

So there is some good news here… J

That’s all folks .. bbye till the next time !!

In search of...

"She was beautiful, but not like those girls in the magazines.

She was beautiful for the way she thought.

She was beautiful for that sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved.

She was beautiful for her ability to make other people smile even when she was sad.

No, she wasn't beautiful for something as temporary as her looks.

She was beautiful, deep down to her soul."

 

 

Found this quote on FB.

No offence dear wife…I have still not found her.

And don’t worry…  I have stopped searching for her since long time J

Difficult to start

Hi..
Yes back to back posts in a couple of days..
I kno thts not like me..
But sometimes boredom makes you do somethings you never thought..
And this is a very thoughtful activity...
So the topic today is about the effort required to start a new thing.
It reminds me of the Newtons law..
Things try to maintain there state wether rest or motion..
So this time I observed the same in lot of cases..
I am an avid reader.. and can read almost anything..
I recently finished a book but post that I am not able to start a new one.
There could be multiple reasons..
I tried my hands at a couple of bestsellers but I am still not able to actually go ahead of initial 2 3 pages..
Same happed with TV series..
Since I finished House MD I am not able to start a new one.
Recently my friend gave me some episodes of another series but I am not able to continue..
Same happens with blogging as well..
Until I write a post I have gathered a lot of topics to be written and a lot of times I forget them..
But now I have started noting them down.
Hope this helps...
I am not sure how I have changed so much.. because I was not like this before
I was not able to sit idle in my bus I needed something.. but now I am not able to concentrate on anything..
I hope this phase changes as I am already too restless and sitting idle for long periods is surely not going to do any good..
You wont believe where I am sitting while writing this post...
I am with my wife at the doctors place for a checkup..
I think this is it for today..
Catch u again soon..
Bbye

Dear Mind, Y u play games with me ?

I had read it somewhere that the memories we have of childhood before 4 years of age are not real.

But sometimes it seems that our mind does play games regarding the memories of teenage [or the memories of incidents 12-15 years back].

I was going through answers for the post on Quora for a question about when did you meet your first BF/GF.

I found an answer posted by a girl where she mentioned that she met a boy at her NTSE preparation classes and she liked him and sent him a greeting at school address.

She saw him at exam hall and then they met in senior college but she didn’t mention him that she had sent the card..

 

I felt like is story presented by a girl about me as I was in NTSE and I had crush on a girl. I felt that she to likes me as she used to glance at me a lot of times.

And then I had seen her staring at me at the exam hall too.

Then I tried to remember if I had got a card sent on my school address. I am still not able to recollect if this is true.. I have a strong feeling that I had received a card from some girl.

Yes we too met in senior college and had a short chat a couple of times. The problem was that the answer was posted as Anonymous and there was no way to know her details.

I was so lost in those thoughts that I didn’t even read the complete answer. After I regained my senses a continued to read the answer and fond that both of them got married and this was not about me.

But I have still not recovered completely and I am trying to remember whether I did receive a card or not.

Dear Mind, Y u play games with me ?

Can you dare to care

Hi,

This is again a post related to a true dare by a girl who commutes in my office bus.

A few weeks ago when she just joined our route bus (I am not sure if she is a new joine or not),

It was evening time and we were returning home. I was listening to music with headphones.

She came to me and asked if I would like to help some “orphan kids”.

She was carrying some charity coupons worth 10 rs each.

I was in no mood then and I denied. She just smiled and moved ahead.

After a couple of mins she did same with someone else.

I was observing silently and saw that no one in the bus bought the tickets from her except 1 girl.

I almost forgot this incident until the events of last post happened.

Then I thought that it needs courage to ask someone to help for someone else.

Had it been me instead of her associated with such NGO I would have readily paid 1000 Rs [I have done this many times]

But the real dare is to ask people to help.. sorry I can’t do that.. and I don’t think many of us can either.

 

This post was in my mind since quite a few days but I didn’t had the will to write it..

Today when I am emotionally depressed I felt this is the best way to freshen up.. J

Are men bold enough to accept this boldness??

I had been thinking since a long time for this post but didn't know if I could actually do justice to the topic.

This incident happened last week. I cant divulge much details about the concerned person

but this lady works in my office and I have know her since quite some time..

One fine morning she was driving to office and 2 guys on a bike came close to her slapped her thigh and passed some crap comment. She got agitated and went to a traffic police man nearby.

She told him the details and also the bike number which she had noted. the guy immediately called up his colleague at the next signal. he also registered a police complaint at the nearest police station over phone and claimed himself to be a witness.

The next policeman was also a decent person and caught those brats. When she reached at the spot she identified them and the policeman gave both the guys a nice tight slap. he asked this girl to leave and said that he will take care of these guys.

She came to office and mentioned this incident to us. But after some time she came to me and asked me not to disclose this to any one else as she doesn't want her hubby to know this. She felt that he would panic as she had done something which could lead to vengeance from the guys.

This spiked some thoughts in my mind. Are we Men [Husbands] bold enough to accept this boldness of out wives? If it would had been my wife how would I have reacted on knowing this.

I know initially lot of us would think that we did be proud and would have expected similar behavior for our wives..

But giving a deeper thought I feel that I would have also panicked on knowing this and may be advised her not to do something like this next time. there are lot of reasons behind this one of those being the "Cannibalesque" behavior of men around us.

But we will have to change this mindset and start accepting what this lady has done. may be if all ladies start behaving similarly bad guys like this actually start fearing of the outcomes of such misdeeds.

A few months back the same lady had given a tough fight to a petrol pump attendant because he was doing some cheating since last 4-5 times. She did fight with the pump manager and ended up getting petrol including the previous cheated amount petrol.

She says that sometimes she feels that she acts impulsively without thinking much. My advice to her was and will always be the same. be as You are ..

You are one of those who are actually making the world a better place. 

Just A Hie

I was working from home this week.

I will try that now but in a new post..

till then bbye!!

Am I numb to emotions...

Hi,

It has been a long time since my last post.. [Not the happy Diwali on :p]

This year due to some reasons I will not be going to my hometown to celebrate Diwali...

I had known this since a long time that i wont be able to go home for Diwali..

But i didn't feel the pain for not going home..

I was never like this..

I still remember my first year in Pune .. 2007 when i was in CDAC..
that year as i was in CDAC and we didn't have an Official holiday for Diwali..

And because of some circumstances i got a chance to go home..

I was so happy at that time...

Around 8-10 years back there were some circumstances when my Dad had some fight with my grand dad and he said that we will leave our own house and shift to some rented house... I cried for almost a week..

The fight had settled in a couple of days but i was so sad it even affected my studies..

I took me a lot of courage to leave my hometown and shift base to Pune.

Even when I moved to a new rented flat  from my old rented flat [in pune itself] i had cried..

My wife was so confused to know the reason... i was too emotional..

but since last 2 -3 years i feel as if i feel no pain.

This year i am not that sad as i should have been..

I am feeling a bit pain..and the proof is this post itself but still i know i am not feeling that amount of pain as i should have been feeling.

Some years back i had read/seen/heard of some people especially in metro cities who give themselves cuts burns or some other sadistic things to feel pain because they say that they don't feel emotional pain.

i was too curious to know how can this be true..

But now i understand the gist behind it..

I hope i don't drop down to that level.. 

Wish me Luck...

Happy Diwali!!

Hi,

Wish You all a Happy Diwali And A Prosperous New Year..

The stupid guy

She was a bit dusky in complexion and had a bit rough voice.. not at all soft or sweet like a dream girl.

Both were the reasons he liked her.. He always found her beautiful and appealing..

And he was not the only person to like her.. there were many others in the “Race”.. as he said…

Their first meeting was nothing special.. it was his 2^nd year in college.. she had joined his class from 2^nd year….

He saw her ..she saw him..eyes met and they went to their seats..

He kept peeking at her.. knowingly ..unknowingly..

Next day he saw her in the corridor with his school mate..

This was the chance to advance he thought.. but he was too shy to go ahead..

Days and months passed.. they started interacting like other classmates…

Nothing in direction of an advanced relationship…

But his heart was already lost ..for her..

It was not his first love ..nor a love at first sight..

He didn’t know her feelings but he felt as if she was also having similar feelings for him..

But then his rational mind interfered.. it told him that it’s his misunderstanding.. she approaches him just like any one else..

It was true for a reason.. he was a clever student with good academic background.. so lot of classmates approached him and wanted to be friends with him..

 

He discussed the situation with his close friend.. the friend suggested him to try a bit further and indirectly approach her…

He started to think of the prefect lines for the same..

Time was passing by.. then one day he got to know that one of his friends too had a crush on her.. and they both were spotted together a couple of times..

He knew it was too late and left the thought..

Now they were in 3^rd year..

One fine day he got a chance to spend some time with her… he used to help her in the college assignments and stuff

She discussed a lot of things with him..and he got to know that she was not in a relationship…

It was more like she wanted to tell him this since long.. she had got the feeling that he was trying to keep a distance from her..

So they were together again..

It was her birthday.. he had brought the usual gifts and card for her..

There was a practice to call your friends at midnight on birthday and the one who called first was most caring person..

He didn’t call her at 12.. not to tease her but he knew that she had to take calls from others as well ..

He didn’t want her to drop his call just because someone else was calling her..

He called her at 2 AM.. she must be asleep..it took her some time to answer..

He wished her..sang the birthday song for her.. this was the first time he had sung a birthday song for anyone.

She was angry on him for not calling her at 12.. he had to console her and explain her the real reason.. then thay chatted for long may be 1-2 hours..

He had already recharged his phone balance to last for 3 hours.. this was first time ever his phone had such a big blance..

She was special for him…

They never proposed each other but both had already read in each other’s eyes..

Then it was the Farewell party they had organized for seniors..

He had enjoyed the dance with her.. his eyes never left here even when she was with her friends..

And then he did what he had never thought of..

While leaving he gifted her a red rose… and told her that he loved her..

Then he left ….

He was in the bus on his way home waiting for her reply…

Then something stuck him.. he didn’t know what .. but he backed out..

He messaged her that it was a joke.. he didn’t mean it..

 

The relation was never same again..

He still had feelings for her..and he knew she to had the same…

The reason for his backing out..even he doesn’t know..

May be it was because he didn’t want to take responsibility..

May be he was still not sure if she was the one he wanted..

May be he was sacrificing her for his friend who liked her..

May be she thought she was using him for her benefits..

May be he didn’t want to be a part of the “Race”..

May be he was just a stupid guy…

Hi..

Hi all,
It's been a loooong time since my last post...
There are a lot of reasons ranging from a lost blackberry to lazyness and not forgetting that I was not having a plot for some post..
Even today there is no specific reason...
I just thought of making a post to keep the blog alive...
I started the blog out of loneliness and still am... Lots of parameters have changed in this time but the premise still remains the same...
When I was in teenage I used to think the loneliness will vanish once I will be in a relationship..
It was more like a fetish( pardon my low vocab) to have a partner.. ofcourse of the opposite sex...
Days passed on .. and in my college I got numerous chances to fulfill this wish...
It was almost fulfilled on 2 3 occasions if I had not backed out at the 11th hour.. and once at 13th hour..(the 13th hr case  could be a plot for  another post).
The reason for backing out was always the same ... My fear of responsibilities... Which I still do...
Times changed.. I got married to my dear wife... But still the dil still remains a baccha.. the same boy who didn't want to be responsible for anything...
I was not able to understand myself till now.. bit there are always some eureka moments...
Mine was triggered for altogether a different reason...
When I am writing this post I am now understandding the reasons for me not having lot of friends in childhood and even till date...
Although there are 2 more reasons that I lack frienda one being my bitter language and other being my lazyness which is cleverly disguised as my introvertness..
Lots to speak of but I don't think this os the right time as I am not at home and this Mobile battery is dying...
Wish I could write more...

Moving On ..Again..

SO back with a 2^nd post on same day..

Actually the previous post was in my drafts since a long time..didnt get time to finish it off…so did that today..

And this post was more like a impulse…

I got my seat shifted in a different cubicle.. I was informally shifted here since last week but got my machines [yes I am allocated 2] today only.

It’s a pleasure to be in a new place and as I had mentioned… I prefer mobility than stagnation

Enjoying my new place as you can see putting up post after post …

And 1 more update..

The teason for my previous post “Moving On ” was change in my office bus.. but then I started using my previous route..

Sometimes its better to be with familiar faces.. ;) [the actual reason might come up in another post]

That’s all folks..

Gorwing Up gracefully

Hi All,

Back after a looong time…

The reason.. Well the blackberry I used to post the blogs is lost…Noo.. I didn’t loose it…The owner did!!

So as I had mentioned a lot of times its too boring to post using a smartphone.. this time its my desktop PC..

 

The topic was in my mind since a lot of days..thought of posting it today in some spare time [Actually I took some time to make this post]

When we were given sendoff from school each one of us was given a small book with some moral teachings.

I got one with the title “Growing Up Gracefully”

I am a bookworm and like reading stories, novellas..S o I started reading it from the same day..

Currently I don’t remember how much time I t took to finish up but I still remember what I learned from that..

It was directed towards some basic ideas to be followed while growing up.. it also had some info about the “adult” terms like love , puppy love, infatuation and other things which a teenager is [rather used to be] curious about. The book changed my entire thoughts, I wont say it was a overnight dfference but I started evolving.

The term puppy love which I was never aware of started ringing in my mind. I had a crush on one of my neighbor girl.

I never knew what “love” was [I still don’t know] but then I understood that the feeling was actually infatuation.

I started concentrating on the other “important” aspects of life…

I wish to find the book in market s that I can share it with my kids…

May be they will never need it but whenever I remember this book I thank my school for gifting me this book..

Although I wonder what book others got J

The essence of friendship

Hey all,
Back with a new post...
The idea of this post was going through my mind since yesterday...
So instead of starting a book on body language reading I prefered to write this post.
The thought that provoked this plot was about the "professional friendship" we share in office.. I have a lot of friends in office ... They also follow me on FB ,linkedin , some groups on whatsapp...
But I see the essence of friendship missing.. I am not sure how much can I rely on them in times of need... Also the other way round.. if I can truly help them for their personal pursuits...
There is lot of politics , backstabbing, envy and mistrust amongst so called friends...
When I see my dads friends I feel I have no real friend whatsoever...
The terms like Best Friends forever seem ridiculous to me ... I have seen lot of friendships breaking just for a cute girl or a smart guy...
I did never had a big circle until I came to Pune.. even my childhood and teenage best friends are in same town as me but we call each other only on birthdays... Or festivals.. I know a couple of guys whom I can rely on.. but I am not confident about myself..
Is this what we call Selfishness???
Bbye!!

Rainy Days

Hi all
Back with a new post with this boring keyboard
I don't prefer using soft keyboard but that's a different story.
Its been raining since last few weeks...
We all love rains ... Especially the first couple of showers. But if it rains continuously for a week of so.. it becomes too gloomy..
That's the specialty of a rainy day... Pleasant initially but you start feeling sad and gloomy once it starts hampering your daily chores
Even I can correlate my current situation with the same analogy..
There is a lot of happiness around me...
The bundle of joy is expected.. I will soon get possession of my house.. an onsite opportunity brewing up.. my seniors are too happy with my work.. and lots of other good things..
But still there is a bit of gloomyness within me because I don't see any concrete future ahead...
I wish the rains end soon...
Thts all for today..
Catch you soon...

A beautiful day

Hey all
So now the weekend is over and we are back with a beautiful day..
Normally monday mornings are too blue and most of us are not so happy about it.
Same started happening with me since last few months.
I normally love monday mornings as I get bored on holidays. This has been the case since I was a kid, I always loved school.
But today was a bit different.
I woke up to see a message from my colleague asking me to collect some stuff which was needed in office before he arrived.
This is obviously not the beautiful part. Good thing is that o had a bike ride of around 15 20 minutes in fresh morning air which rejuvenated my senses.
I feel so positive and fresh today... Yes that's the beauty.
I am not much a fan of Mr Robin Sharmas ideals hut I have always agreed with his idea of waking up early. Although I rarely get off bed before 6 [only when I a travelling or going for outing].
I always feel that I should sleep early to get up early but it doesn't happen because of the idiot box and YouTube videos I am addicted to...
I think that's all for today as typing on a soft keyboard is not so comfortable and once you are used to blackberrys word predicting keypads it becomes more difficult.
So bbye till next time!!

A random scribble

Now that I can post with an email, I think the frequency of my posts will improve. 

I am already on nitro considering 3 posts in 24 hours 

Just thought of posting a random scribble.

Well the main reason is that since last week I am not reading any book in bus. And it's a bit difficult for me to kill time doing nothing. I have read and seen that men can literally sit idle doing nothing unlike women.

Even I enjoy doing the same a lot of time. But sometimes especially while travelling I prefer to utilise the time. 

It's not that there is no book to pick up, but I am actually not feeling to pick up one. 

It's been almost 2 years or more since I have been reading a book while travelling. They say old habits die hard, but sometimes you just MOVE ON.

I think that's all for today. Catch you soon. Bbye!!

Just another hi

Hi all, Back with another post... Nothing specific to blog or brag about this time... Lots of things going simultaneously in life... Lots of feelings in heart but as always I prefer being quiet... My current concern is where is my life going... There are a lot of good things happening but I prefer one at a time... I was never used to the concept of bundles and oodles. I also see lot of money related transactions happening and some already in the pipeline. Btw a friend of mine is planning for a switch to a company which deals with antivirus. This news woke up my inner desire for a similar job.. but I am sure I will get over that desire soon. Its been high time I am looking for some stability. But things are changing too fast and I am not able to catch a breath :) That's all for now!! Catch up some time again. Bbye!!

The bundle of joy

Hi all Yep.. m back again... this time with a gap of a coupl of days Wanted to speak about a happy moment I am enjoying with my better half May be u have gu it correct... its the most happiest moment between a couple post marriage. There are some reasons I am not sharing this news with our families. And I won't directly share it before with any one else This post is not about the event but the feeling that I am enjoying We had expected this since some days and it was confirmed yesterday. We were very happy. But the happiness actually started flowing as the time passed. After an hour I was feeling more pleasant. That time a thought crossed my mind. There are cases when you initially feel too good but as time passes the feeling starts flowing down. Like buying a cellphone or some gadget. But for some cases its inverse... you start feeling more pleasant as time passes..

I think this is more than enuf to remind you all about your happy memories... So BBye till next time!!

Moving On....

Another post after quite a long time Lots of reasons for being away and one of them was life was too messy So now I am back for this post.. let's start :) I had a few plans for my next post but this was not in the list... Today I moved on into a new bus for my route and this thought sprang in mind Recently there have been lot of moving ONs in my life.. First I moved on from a company where I was quite comfortable just for the sake of moving. Then I moved on from my most comfortable development platform.. next it was my house. Today its the bus.. planning to change my mobile (currently typing this on a BlackBerry 10 device) Sitting idle in the bus a thought occurred of putting a post on this topic... there's a lot to tell but reached office.. So till next time... Bbye...

Another Hi!!

Hey guys.. Again just another hi post from me ... I wanted to maintain the rhythm and so another post... lots of thoughts in my mind and so less that i can actually speak out.. had this been an anonymous blog there would have been a lot of posts about my life my actual thoughts. Writing the above statement i guess i have a topic for todays post.. Why do we lie/Hide or actual thoughts.. I have observed that whenever there is communication there are lots of lies and hidden facts Just so that the other guy doesn't feel bad. But what happens when he/she gets to know the truth..devastation..... We normally think that it may or may not happen always ... and why mess with the truth until its absolutely necessary.. Which raises the question what is the baseline for "Absolute Necessity"... I have recently been through this skirmish thrice for absolutely independent reasons... I might not be able mention the situation.. but hiding the facts gives a bit pain in heart.. sometimes you can convince yourself that if you have lied for good .. its not a lie... But whenever i lied/covered the facts i had to gather a lot of willpower to do that... I could for see the immediate consequences and i was literally scared to hell even thinking about it.. I am sure when the concerned people read this post they might understand the actual scenario and be pissed on me.. but someday i might spill out the facts myself.... Loong philosophy ... bbye!!

Just a hi!!!

Its been some time since i last did a Post..
I had some ideas rippling through my mind but it was not a complete post..
twice i started drafting and rolled back at the last moment..
Today as well i was starting a tech related post but didnt feel like completing it..
So just thought of posting a hi..to maintain a ryhtm..
This time i realy dont want to leave my blog abruptly..
So Hi.... and Bye!!

Why did I do a clean reboot of this blog..

Why did I reboot
This is a question which i was thinking since i first got this thought in my mind.
This was a couple of weeks back..

I wont be able to state the reason for (re) starting blogging but i think i know why i rebooted my old blog 
instead of going with a new one.
one of the major reasons being i love this name "Ripples in the mirage"
and i think this title still fits true for the new ideas i have...

Why a clean reboot..
Initially i planned to keep my ld posts intact and just revamp the theme..
but then i felt that i should start with a clean slate. Those old memories are my personal...
I actually hate "I me myself" blogs but then .. its human nature to brag and boast and bitch..

I plan to keep my posts short..so signing off now...

Some info for my upcomming Posts..

As mentioned earlier.. this is a fresh reboot of my blog..
this time i thought of making this a generic blog.. 
Instead of making it a dedicated blog for a particular genre...i am going to pour all my thoughts out..
I might categorise my posts using tags but have not decided anything as of yet..
I plan to include some technical reviews.. my opinions over the ongoing issues(yes i know no ones is interested in knowing it)
and yes I might end up cooling my itch of creativity ... some shotr stoties..
And how can i forget some book reviews..although i read books only with good reviews :P but still 
my opinions do matter...

Ripples in the mirage revamped..

Hi all...
It seems I am back after a hiatus of almost 2 years...
I started my blog when i joined my second company "Persistent Sys"...
And yes you guessed it correctly.. this reboot happens because of a switch..
the only difference is that this time its almost 5 months since i joined "Capgemini".

I started this blog as I was having an itch of showng off some creativity..and was able to make out some time..
But  then as usual my itch cooled down just after a few weeks and I stopped making out time as I lost interest in it.
A major factor was that i had made a nice group and was enjoying my time.
Earlier last year i thought of starting a tech blog ..added a few posts but didnt publish it.. was not getting
 a gut feeling for this

This time it was different. I got buzy in my new office from week 1 itself. This was weird but true.
And irony was that i was busy without any business.
Now that i am buzy with a project somehow i feel that i am not able to make out time for myself.
So I thought of rebooting my old blog.

This time it is a complete reboot and so i have removed my old posts and also up with a new thme.
This time i just want this to be my fisrt post and not one of the last posts..
Wish me luck...
