The Garmische...and miracles..

Hi,
I want to update my blog on the garmisch-partenkirchner tour and the last weekend stuff....Myself and Rajkumar had decided even though we are two in number. We shall go to garmisch-partenkirchner at any cost...Because my dream of swiss tour was shattered due to my Visa problems....hmmmmm...And I wanted to see atleast garmisch-partenkirchner...which is similar to Swiss ..The alps on the Germany side...And reach to the top of the peak 'Zugspitze'....The highest peak in entire Germany......I woke up at 3 AM on a saturday morning the 16th of May...It was raining so heavily that day...body was just unwilling to come with me...BUt my mind was all set to see its dream come true...I dragged my body into the bathroom..took bath and half sleepy....I was ready at 4:30 AM..Called Rajkumar and we both took a taxi and went off to Hauptbahnhof(CIty Railway Station) in the morning drizzling rain...We knew things are going to be bad if it rains in the same fashion in the entire south
Germany...at morning 4:50 AM...and no one to help in buying tickets ..We were stranded in that huge railway station....We wanted to buy a Bayern ticket which is 28 Euros and 5 persons can travel in the entire bavarian region for a day ...Though we were only two....

At the railway station we were just searching in the ticket vending machine..what option to press...where to go and all to buy the tickets..and all we had is 10 mins to get a ticket and rush to the platform....Then a man(may be 35-40 years old) who looks like Indian is standing and looks as if he is also confused........I immediately thought this is the right man to ask...So we approached him...He said...Sure he can help us..with his english accent more of German.....Immediately I got the impression he is not Indian.....He helped us in taking the ticket and revealed his nationality..He was a Pakisthani...How strange..There were no difference absolutely between
us...We all looked the same....But a pakisthani is a pakisthaani..isn't it?? SO the first thought was to go far from him....But coincidentally he was also going to Munich...and we all rushed to the platform and he came and sat to the seat next to ours....the rain had not shown any mercy and it was pouring...I had a constant tension what will be the situation in peaks if it rains like this....Pakisthaani (his name is Shamad)......Yes SHamad was telling..we all look the same..and we live the same fashion..how bad it is to live hating each other....All because of a border ..All because You are an Indian and I am a pakisthaani...he was an engineer from Karachi working with Siemens AG from past 10 years for their locomotives region(the speed trains).......He was praising ...How we people ( he referred always to Indians and Pakisthanis..thats a good thing haah) can adjust anywhere in this world...This sentence he has used minimum 50 times..and why these Americans and Europeans are finding it tough to beat the recession....I was convinced in that....And later on he was talking , America is responsible for all the terror...Its not Pakisthaanis or Talibans..I could see a pile of hatredness in his eyes..when he said that....He was also telling Taliban is young group of students who are fighting for the cause of Islam...I was scared..I was scared about his opinion and if people someone who understands english listen to our conversation and next stop we all will get trashed by police....But this guy was openly uttering those words..my mind stand divided about this ..... Islam, jehadi, pakisthan, freedom...I just kept my silence...He stopped after a while and again he started saying how we people can adjust anywhere in this world..And we are great....He said we are the most intelligent people in this
world....He also said, its quite obvious that Pakisthan supplied Nuclear technology to Iran...An Iranian cannot make a spoon on his own..How can he construct a nuclear missile....Its absolute bull shit...Its we, the Pakisthan supplied them the nucleartechnology.....I was awed by his open statement...The claim!! Yet my silence continued..He said his colleagues would ask him..Shamad! is your house destroyed in the war..Is your family safe there....is anyone wounded?? For that he would answer them..I live in Karachi which is south of Pakisthan and the war is being held
in the Northern Swat valley...they would get convinced...He also said they would ask these questions out of sympathy or curiosity...He compared Karachi to Mumbai..He said my Karachi is just like Mumbai...we watch all the bollywood movies the next day it released in India...full of young people....without any right direction....my only question was, are there many engineering colleges there just like in India....does poeple study engineering there.?? I mean the rage of IT, BPO is instilled on to the Pakisthaanis also?? He said a firm yes Yes yes else how would Pakisthan challenge the world..We have very good colleges and engineers coming out of it..THough we dont have a Bangalore he exclaimed.....hmmmmm:) ( I was feeling a bit proud about my bengaluru) with all these conversation and my mind getting the pictures of
beautiful Afghanisthan and Pakisthan(WHich I had run in Kite Runner)..how I wished everything in this world was good....How good if it was easier to get into a street of Afganisthan and eat a kebap....WIth all these thoughts..We had reached the outskirts of Munich....Shamad quickly exchanged our telephone numbers and invited us to his house for a coffee once he returns back on May29th.....He said finally that he has two beautiful kids (girls) and he has never taken
them to Karachi as they are in their teenage now and they understand things...When they were small he used to take them there and they would pose less questions..But now for some questions he would never know the answer...So better be here..SO he is travelling alone....We said we will surely visit his house in Nurenberg once he is back..with my mind still telling a complete no inside...I nodded my head and took photographs with him....bhai-bhai kinda of photo...:)..We reached Munich ..phew!! It was a great journey all the way......

From Munich we need to continue further to the south (Austrian Border) to reach garmisch-partenkirchner..We asked the Ticket Collector if this train goes to garmisch-partenkirchner continuing from munich..He had said a confident yes...SO being assured ..We were just waiting the train to start....But a miracle happened in my life..I was in a notion or disbelief that god is not there..But I saw god in one person that day..Train is about to start in 2 mins...One guy suddenly rushed onto the train and comes to us and asks us in German whether this train is going to
Nurenberg...We said Nai nai..this train is headed to garmisch-partenkirchner..He swears on god and tells us this is going to NurenBerg.WIthout thinking for the second time, we grabbed our bag and jumped off the train...door closes and we see the man who helped us right behind us showing the board which says(Munich to NurenBerg)...We would have gone back to NurenBerg again....In that heavy rain..no words to thank him....I felt like god is still there on this sick planet...I could not thank him enough...He was just smiling.....Laughing at our stupidity we went to Service point to enquire about the train we are supposed to take...We are standing in a long queue and one
railway officer comes directly to us in that long queue and asks us "Sir! can I help you?"....Am I living in a dream...am I on this planet...Yes the railway officer was real..and he is addressing me
Sir...garmisch-partenkirchner I said...He said , please sir take a left there and go to platform 30..YOu have a train at 7:36 from there..I had no words to thank anybody...It was my day rather our day filled with miracles...

We were in the bahn(train) to garmisch-partenkirchner...my compomised dream finally coming true...It was more than what I had dreamt ..Yes Europe is the most beautiful part of this world...I had no words to explain its sheer beauty...The snaps or photos cannot capture the feelings , the vibrance, the freshness of air, the tinge of air drops..It was amazing..I was living all my dreams there....where my creativity lost the match for that beauty....where I realised I knew only few words in this world...There is something above words like awesome, breath taking...The lush green hills invited us...with my mind catching up the tune of Tujhe Dekha tho ye jaana
sanam instantly and humming it through out the way....Imagining , dreaming If I had my love here..If I was with her....The same things which I had seen in that song, Greenery, spruce trees, snow capped mountains, clouds settled on the mountains..water streams(radium green color) flowing without the fear of getting polluted...showing all their beauty...Showing off their curves....It was totally amazing...It was a snapshot of lifetime and I would never forget....

After an hour of journey, we reached garmisch-partenkirchner..Dream accomplished!!!!!It was raining heavily and all the mountains covered with fog..I guessed nothing will be visible ....And the trip will be a waste....We took bahn ticket again to reach the top of the peak(its 42 Euros :()....The bahn goes upto 80% of the peak where you will witness the supreme technology of a railway system where literally a train goes on a peak....Else we can get down in between and go to hill top using a cable car....We thought we will go upto Eibsee(50% of the journey) in train and from there we shall go to the peak using cable car....We got down in Eibsee and the excitement pushed us to the cable car station where we swiped in the ticket and boarded .....It was am amazing experience ....god..I lived my life there...On my way I touched the heavens..I touched the sky....I could see snow capped mountains so close..The fog..The trees top barely visible...the fresh air and the cable car literally going straight into the clouds....At one point I could not see anything except the white clouds.We were so happy....after 20 mins journey to the top, we were at the Germanys highest peak - the zugspitze......It was an amazing journey to the top...I was waiting to go out to the view point and view the world from there and if possible ..shout a message or two which can be heard in India....But in vain..The entire peak was covered in fog..Nothing was visible except for Rajkumars face and for him mine...It was so cold..our hands got freezed and we rushed inside....We went down ..We were not sad becaue we had witnessed something great like that..Again took back the cable car down to Eibsee...WHere there was a dream lake..Full of Green water..vast huge surrounded by mountains..Was just like a post card picture...We went for boating in that and sighed an exclamation..A sigh of satisfaction....It was
complete...my dreams rejoicing itself of coming into reality....Once we were in the mid of lake..We see the whole sky clearing up and the view was fine tuned....Haah! Everything was clear..So we decided to go back to the peak again...Of course paying 42 Euros once more.....42 Euros for one way trip only...:(....Haah this one is again gods mercy again..I was just thinking if I had fallen from top also I would have not died on that day...Everything was going on our side....It was a miracle...On a rainy day..The clouds getting cleared...and the whole flora and the whole nature....had taken bath and washed itself to present to me..Great it was!!

The second time the peak was like heaven..I had seen nothing like that..Snow capped mountains..White white white everywhere....we had a nice lunch over there..The salad with strawberry and all..It was mouth watering...leaves with Yoghurt and all....It was great.!! The dream of walking on snow..The dream of throwing a snow ball on someone...The dream of seeing my foot prints..The dream of inhaling the fresh cold air onto my nostrils..The dream of seeing the vast blue sky sleeping on the snow...Everything was fulfilled except for the dream of holding someone there and sing a song...I am thankful to lord for that....I could see white clouds trying to kiss the alps ...rolling over them....and the sun being very cumulative..was just
dispersing the clouds ...As though he is jealous...Wind being on the Suns side....I was just capturing all these in my mind...

I was just awed by German technology where a train can take you to a peak ...The highest peak..salaam.namasthe...God...:(....Our trains cant take us on a normal road only....

I was so sad while coming back..The best was over..Again the same hotel.Again the same office..The same routine yeah!! :(...i wanted to live there..I wanted to live on the foothills of that..We came back to room at around 11 PM in the night...Slept the whole sunday 17th May...

Monday to Friday ..how days go..I am not able to count..time just flies away...It just
vanishes...night..morning..puliogre/chitranna/mosaranna/egg rice/..afternoon..again night..sambaar..rice...life is just so plain..and my dream of going to Swiss is still adhoora....chey!! Might be its written I shall come with my kajol there....might be thats the reason i was denied this time....

We had been to Langwasser Sud last weekend.It has a mini forest....we walked all around the forest....took some snaps...and came back...That was the only trip I had...I have got flu kind of thing since last friday..Have a fear ..may be Swine..have got few symptoms as well like slight body ache....cough and all...Assuming and praying it should be normal flu...There is a drastic weather change here..That might be the reason...Its 26 degrees and all...Sooper hot....Its so tough to sleep insided room without fan or AC....But this room does not have any fan or
AC....So its an oven kinda of thing....

I suggest everyone should watch 'Life is Beautiful' movie...Please go and watch it....Then we can understand whats life all about??...Its not about the salary hikes..Its not about the promotion..Status etc

Everyone has to die...Everyone has to embrace death not on their wish..But we struggle..we fight..a father fights for 2 acres of land with his brothers...for what...His two kids shall share the same in the future after a big fight...and even think which part of the land shall the fathers body be buried after his death...Mine or his...For what the father fought....for what the kids fought.....Bill gates,,..slum baala everyone will die...This is a saddist world....I feel we decorate our going to be dead body everyday....We dress ourselves neatly..we shave..we do all sort of things..The truth is one day it will be lying the grave yard...We have so many desires..We want to
love someone..we want to marry someone..Prove our partner is the best...prove we are the best...but for what?? to die one day....Saddist world...We sing ..we dance..we jump...for one day..to remain silent..to remain stationed...Why life cant be simple..??

And one happy news is , my ticket is confirmed for 11th June...Thursday.....God :)....15 days.....only 15 days...Counting it...

Ok my creation after many days:

may 4th to May15th...

Hi ,

After a long time I am back!!!!!!! I have to write because few people watch this space so eagerly......I have lot to update.Lots to tell...This one week was so eventful.....I am really not finding time to blog nowadays......All the time I am busy with my work....after the Kongress Halle Visit..my routine has been coming to office and going back to home late in the night..Cook, eat and sleep...The team here is growing..Now there are so many Indians..We are majority in numbers now...Good to see so many Indians and feel at home...during the lunch hours and all...

Sad news!!! My stay might get extended for another 15 days...I am feeling so sick and sad..feeling like crying aloud....My Birthday I shall miss..What crap!!!!!!!!!!!??

Watched Barcelona versus Chelsea match ..And yes Chelsea lost to Barcelona in the semis in a match that can only be described by all as most unfortunate. Not for the loss, but for the way the loss happened. And no one disagrees, even the opposition that it was refereed in a despicable manner. Lots of people talking about the real reason behind this. Did not want two British teams in the final !! Just an outside observation. Not my personal… just in case.. he he....:). Waiting for that bing bang final on May 29th....When Barcelona meets Manchester united and I am just a great fan of Barcelona...Messi being my favorite player....

And on IPL side, nothing is going right for Kolkata Knight Riders...Shahrukh khans bad luck..I feel he should have never come to business...he was alright if he was simple and minded his business of acting alone.....I am criticising him being his hardest fan...I feel he is into stupid money making race...Starting from soaps to IPL....I am so happy that Bangalore Royal challengers have grown as a team...I can see some positive things happening...Might be Kumble effect....But good to see home team nourished with talent ...and good to be on winning side...Last IPL I was so sad about their performance........

Whenever I find time I come near the window and see the clear blue sky ...I can see 3-4 sky jets atleast in a single shot(due to proximity to Frankfurt) ......Leaving their own trail as they travel through the large air space....I feel I should catch any of those trail and go back to India...My mind is just like those empty large vast blue sky ....I have just stopped thinking too much about the future and wanting to live my life day by day......My daily objective being I should learn something new....I should be more productive and more resourceful........

Weather is not so nice here..Its raining continously here........Temperature being 12 degrees......
But we can see the nature at its best with all plants green and flowers bloomed to their maximum......

Now in our room we three guys cook together..So cooking is a lot more fun with everyone putting one one thing...and the product will be just ready..( I am referring food to product because we never know the outcome of the process).......I cook based on the observation I have made when my mom would be cooking..I might have seen somewhere my mom would be frying rava before making kharabath....so that simple frying makes the taste so different altogether...Sometimes observations helps a lot..isn't it?........

Guys!! 10th May was Mothers day..And I just called her and talked to her for 30 mins...She is as loving as ever...She always has so much love for me...So much to give...to care...So I feel mothers does not need a day to be celebrated....They should be celebrated everyday......She should be taken care of every moment........These are things easy to say...koyi bhi moo se kheer banathe hain..banake ke tho dekho........:) Because I have not done that.....I have given priority to things which did not give me anything in the end......I am always sad for that.....

Weekdays went just like that..Then there was this Weekend(9th, 10th may)...It was fun filled...We were a big gang..So never felt lonely and bored...So many things to talk..So many movies to watch...And Yes i had my hair cut done...It was an awesome experience to get ones hair cut on a foreign land .......It was morning 8:30 when i reached Angels Haar shop(salon)...It was so clean arranged with all sofas..chairs..with 4 most beautiful girls..And Yes they are girls who does the hair cut...They take each hair as if I have treasured it for years and cut them without hurting them(Was remembering Ravi chandran in Anjadha gandu - The way he cuts paddy)....She showed me a football players hair style and suggested I should go with it(In German)....I just nodded with half yes and complete no in my mind..For me the whole intension was to reduce the load on my head.........the huge pile of hairs...once the cut was over I was feeling so light.....haah got some new hair style...but soon it will vanish and my original style would overtake it....Whenever I see myself in mirror I look one one type on each day...Still If I close my eyes I cant picture my face ....Someday it looks fat..Someday it looks long...someday it looks nice..Someday it looks horrible....how is my face?? I dont know...I cant picturize it...Once the hair cut was done....Came back to room and went off to MarktKauf to shop weekly ration..ha ha :)..And Saturday we all went out strolling on the roads of NurnBerg seeing each hotel flocked with people....SUmmer special...People sitting everywhere and having beer...Boozing and having a nice time with their loved ones...Then we had softee ice cream on our way(strawberry flavor)....We came back to room around 8 o clock....The saturday was over...

Before and after hair cur - the Metamorphosis
--------------------------------------------------

Sunday I woke up so late and we cooked food...We had plans of going out for dinner...So we cooked less and finished offf everything,,,Then dozed off.....:)...Sunday evening we all went to DokuZentrum....Where there is a huge spree(lake).....We were 5 in number...We all hired a boat and I was on my toes to peddle it and jumped on to the driver seat....After peddling for half the way I realised I have done a mistake..Legs were aching like hell...:(...The lake was looking like a veg clear soup with green green algae growing healthily in every part of it....We took one big round and reached the banks..Phew !! Thank god...I wont peddle a boat now in near future.....:)...Then again We had softee icecream cone..This time I wanted to taste Yoghurt flavor(curds flavor yak!)..I tasted it.It was just like a thick curd which is kept in fridge for one week and being placed on a cone..It was not so good...From there we went to Thon..To a mexican restaurant called El Coyote(www.el-coyote.de)...Which is in the outskirts(Just like the dhabas in Bangalore)...It was drizzling, cold..With rain drops just managing to find a place on my face...winds tryint to push my wet hair..pitch dark...Just imagine..On such a evening, a mexican restaurant, candle light dinner, cold breeze, so many thoughts running in my mind...But I was missing something....Rather missing someone...my mind was singing its own song and was out of world for few moments........We had a blast eating cheese enchiladas and some tortillas ....It was great!! Few people boozed also...Totally it was a pleasant evening...We came back to room at around 11:30 in the night and dozed off...

Again the same hectic schedule..The same work...hectic life!!!!!!!! :) But to survive here we should have work..If its sittind idle and counting the days..i should directly get an airlift to Nimhans....Now time is running like a stray dog running out of BBMP corporation dog van.....(bad comparison) ...But still...

I should mention about the day of "Explosion and blood" Yes....Dont panic...It was on yesterday - Thursday (May 15th 2009)...I got up as usual at 6:30..took bath and started cooking...Kept rice and prepared puliogre gojju....and my other cooking partners told they will be late..So I was just mixing puliogre and rice and had kept water for boiling to prepare noodles....one of my cooking partner came at 7:30...I dont know what striked him to put chilly powder to boiling water while preparing noodles..He took the cover of chilly powder and kept on the hot heater in the kitchen which was pre-heated...there will be two heaters to cook...and he was taking back that cover to keep back in the cupboard....a cover without the base cannot defy gravity isn't it?? All the chilly was on his chappal, shirt, room mat and floor...And we cleaned it using white cloth....So while washing the cloth...The chilly was going like a blood mixed with water........that is about blood!!!!!!!! ::) and I should tell about explosion now....With no utensils left for my cooking...I wanted to boil few eggs...without thinking too much....I kept three eggs one for each in a glass tumbler and in oven(for 15 mins)...After 10 mins...All we could hear is dammar!#$@$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...God..I thought something major happened...but one egg was rotten and it could not take the heat..it had exploded..and with the same cloth I cleaned oven...it was so painful.....finally the cloth was like a German flag..half red at the top(chilli powder) and half yellow at the bottom(rotten egg)...hee hee :)...........with all the circus...I was feeling I am seeing Final destination movie....where I have defied destiny for my death..nothing was going right yesterday.....but atleast puliogre was best...so happy for that.....

And one bad news is with my work permit I cant travel out of Germany...So no Swiss tour for me.....sad :(........or No austria tour.....So we have planned to visit alps atleast in Germany Garmisch........So will be travelling to Zugspitze the highest peak in Germany tomorrow early morning....atleast I can see snow there ..snowfall and cable cars and greenery and a lake...........thats perfect package.......

Now I have decided I should update regularly else blog will be a novel.....I shall update regularly from now on.........

Din Raat Daudti Duniya Mein,
Zindagi Ke Liye Hi Waqt Nahi.

kongress Halle and the long weekend...

Hi All,

It was three day long weekend....Nothing significant happened in my life...Life has been the same.....

My playlist through out the weekend was:

1. HoovinaBaanadante - from movie birugaali....I love that initial aaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Shreya Goshal
is the best. Love this song.
2. Nuvvu Nuvvu from Khadgam...Telugu....I love this song for richness in lyrics and the meaning
of each word makes me go crazy.
3. Main shaayar tho nahin...
4. Songs from kannada movie Raj and joshhh!!! Was trying to analyse the songs and love any of
them....Liked two or three...thats it.

Movies Watched:

1. Indiana jones - Crystal skulls.
2. Alien Vs Predator - part 3.
3. American Gangster

They said that a black man would be President “ when pigs fly”.......But May 2nd embarked the 100th day of Obama’s Presidency …...Anything is possible in this world...Yes!! One need to wait for the opportunities with patience....If one gets it late..then they would get something big...His 100th day was covered quite well in the media..Got bored of hearing the same words, 'Obama', 'Global melt down', economic downturn', 'Road to recovery', 'Swine Flu''G20 Summit' blah blah. The same thing. Nothing exciting on the news channel like the sick Indian news channel like ' Kareena shahid splits', 'Rakhi goes on Swayamvar', 'Is Sherlyn Sexier than Rakhi?', 'Priyanka the new bollywood queen', 'Bebo Saif on a personal tour','Something cookin between Shahid and Priyanka after Kaminey'...What an exciting media isn't it?? ..Missing that stupid things....I used to see how far people can go in stupidity...I have noticed one more thing when the new movie getting released, actors move around together and make a way for gossiping..Example harman priyanka during love story 2050...Shahid Kareena - jab we met(Split), VIdhya Balan and Shahid(kismet connection)....And people are so dumb to be fooled again and again..Now priyanka and shahid are going together for Kaminay...Its all publicity gimic...boss..

Of all the boring tags in these news channels, Swine flu is something important..Its being covered and hyped so much. I still am confused whether its dangerous or not. Some say its alarmingly dangerous. Some say it can be cured with Tamiflu...But a tinge of fear is being put on to the life system...If anyone sneezes out of cold also, swine will be associated with it (h1N1 virus)....Crazzy! world..But it might come to anyone or anytime....Globalization haah of even viruses and diseases...But fate is already written I believe. If someone has to die of a H1N1 virus, it shall happen...

As usual the long weekend was boring...Friday got fried at house...Was scared to go out as it was May day and I knew there would be so many protests on the road with unemployment rate increasing to 4.6% in Germany...20% in Spain....But Was so lazy to cook anything...So we decided to buy food from Mac-D....When we stepped on to road itself..Things were so scary...Polizei (Police) van everywhere....We were almost near Mac-D..We saw blood stains on the
footpath...heart beat increasing..Blood pressure going up....Anxiety all over...Then we saw a huge procession of people all wearing black masks and dress..WIth piercings almost every part of the body..There was no space left..So things were looking pretty dangerous with people arresting few people right in front of us...But somehow we sneaked in through to Mac-D....Ordered a burger
and finger chips.....It was after so many days....Reckoning my memories of Baghmane Tech Park..Where I used to go...It was the best time of my life...As usual the vendor there was a beautiful lady..She was more welcoming and charming....We came to room very swiftly(turning 360 degrees all the time)...ate like hell..and slept off....Evening had called my Karkala Aunty....(She is not my aunty by any relation) but she took care of me so much when I was studying my Engineering there....She showed love nothing short of a mothers love..she is still a bachelorite...She is 65 years old...why she did not marry is a question I wanted to ask her n times..But out of respect I could never ask her....She knows every thick and thin of my life...How I used to study during my Engineering days....In what Situation I was in....100 Rs for last 10 days...Those days made me very hard...when 5 rs was nothing but a one time food for me..that taught me to give less priority to money and more value to relation.....She even used to cook food for me(thove with rice)..Give coffee...help me in every way she could..yes few people are there in my life through whom I have seen god and felt the halo of him....They have showed so much love to them...I owe my life to them....It was such an exciting thing to tell that I am in Germany...She was very happy for me...And I felt so happy talking to her...I am grateful to her all the time...And want to pay back my gratitude sometime....Friday night cooked dal and rice..Ate like hell and slept off........

Saturday - the shopping day....Yes Saturday is meant for shoppinig here...We as usual went to MarktHauf..This time I shopped SOya milk, fruits, Orange juice and everything...We came back to room, kept the stuff and we headed for Norma...We buy rice from there...Carrying 8 Kgs of rice and roamed around a abit in that mall..We reached our room by 2 Noon...Then we cooked rasam..Ate rice with that and slept off...Evening I was so tired I did not go out anywhere.....I
was just relaxing at home...Saturday late evening went to reception and bought two DVDs Indiana Jones and Alien Vs Predator....Indiana Jones was too good as usual....I love that movie....Harrision Fords character and his acting...Amazing actor he is...Then Alien V/s Predator was aweful..yakh...!!! It was a mixture of green and blue solutions throughout....Green for Aliens blood...I slept at around 1:30 in the night....

Sunday woke up late at around 9 AM.....We had bread jam for breakfast.....Because we had mega plans for the afternoon....And we went to KongressHalle...by the way NurnBerg is so important in history of Germany..They say its the Germanish part of Germany......Kongress Halle is Hitlers party rally grounds..Where he used to address the rallies....He wanted a structure like VIshana Soudha...Kongress Halle is such kind of thing..An administrative office for National Socialist Party.....But he died when it was half built..So the Germans wanting to forget him has kept this structures alive....but each brick there was telling the cruelty of the person called hitler...how bad he was...Killing innocent people only because they were not useful to the society..They were not
productive....I could not believe that...If the same is being done in India...then almost 80% of population is gone...In the Kongress Halle, we were given audio trainer(a handset kind of thing) which used to start automatically on the press of a button and guide us through the building...It was a new thing...But it was quite informative..Anf after coming out of Kongress halle I was shaken and mixed up with what Germany was...what it is and all...revisiting past...bloody past...With so many stories running in my mind..about the Nazis..about the Germans...About Hitler....sadly photos have not come great...Dont know why......But still they will be uploaded and link be given......Came back to room..We decided to cook something great..So we cooked
poori and aloo sabzee....we had ice cream and the lunch was amazing..........It was too good......Dozed off...

Evening woke up...was watching match between Bangalore and Mumbai Indians...Bangalore won the match by 9 wickets..I was so happy...Finally Uthappa got into some form atleast....RC registered one more win....I am happy for the two great people I ever know..Kumble and Dravid...Thats great..on the football side as well Liverpool and Manchester united registered a win....So it was a satisfying day on the sports arena.....

Returned the dvds and got two more dvds..This time..American Gangster and Rambo....American Gangster I wanted to watch it from so many days....Loved each dialog of that movie...It has my two favorite stars of hollywood..Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe... Had food while watching movie .....Dozed off..

Noticed one funny thing during the elections this time...All stars showcased they have voted by raising their middle finger which means altogether a different thing....And they were all smiling doing that...Funny it looks...:)..More Funny was bacchans family .........

Ending with this thought:

” I am not afraid of a man who knows of a thousand types of kicks, but I am afraid of the one who has practiced one kick a thousand times. “
- Bruce Lee

I believe in the following statement very much and that has been the principle of my life.....People can be happy when they stop comparing themselves with others..Its you who can excel..Its you who has to live your life...Constant comparison is what I dont like in my life...and one more thing I urge to follow is "Expectations reduce joy".....Joy comes when things happen when u have least expected..........So follow theseis rule and enjoy a life of harmony and
love..
” You can win life by all means.. yes… by simply avoiding two things… comparing and … expecting “



" Every one has a destiny to find,
looking in your eyes I have found mine.
You're all I ever wanted,
you're all I'll ever need.

I will be yours always,
you will have my love for eternity......"

Missing you all..Counting my days ...May 31st.....go
Love,
Shashank

Bouquet of thoughts.......

Hi,

Smitten by this Beyonce song...Halo......

Everywhere I’m looking now
I’m surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you’re my saving grace
You’re everything I need and more
It’s written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won’t fade away


I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo...

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You’re the only one that I want
Think I’m addicted to your light
I swore I’d never fall again
But this don’t even feel like falling
Gravity can’t forget
So pull me to the ground again

I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo...

Love this song....Its good to listen.......running on my playlist now....

Last evening was bad...had a mood off...Though was very excited for the match between Arsenal and Manchester united...MAN U won the match 1-0..It was such a boring match though...Mumbai indians lost the IPL match against Punjab Lions:( .....Thats the sad thing ....Had an intension to cook Aalu samber and green peas with Garam masala.. I love it with dosa..but I wanted to cook such a kind of thing...So tried it..Finally I was 80% successful in Alu-peas masalaa..it was great with garam masala and all....So myself and nagaraju ate like hell.......I dont know the reason..One thing I have noticed..Since the day I have come here I have never slept properly...In the sense I wake up sometimes in the mid night..Sometimes at 4 AM..I just dont know what to do....In Bangalore my sleep was a switch...switch of/on....I used to sleep at 10:30 PM and wake up at 6:15 AM...Especially last night was too long for me...So many thoughts...hitting my mind ..striking it..Tried listening to music..watched TV.....But no sleep at all....Eyes were so fresh....So thought of framing these things...thoughts scattered in my mind.....I tag almost everything with love....So most of my things will be on love..Thoughts are like scattered light white clouds..which needs to be condensed, gathered to form some meaningful thing like the below one....And fall like a rainfall....I hope these words shall drench the reader....and make the mind fresh....and fill life with love....

Was watching Andaz apna apna...Its the most hillarious movie I have ever seen..And this time it was for 100 th time I was watching...Aila Juhi Chawla...Amazing movie....Aamir at his comedy best.....I always feel, Juhi chawla in the first scene looks like a boy with a wig when she will be repairing her car bending....Might be I was trying to laugh a bit by watching movie....It was like a painkiller for a wound..The laugh and smile just ended with each scene...Again my mind would be sad....Filled with thoughts....

It is raining from past few days here....Weather is so good...9 degrees....Cloudy, gloomy, wind with a tinge of cold in it......Truly romantic weather...mausam ye awesome bada....:).....And the weather forecast says it will be like this till sunday....Still planning about the Austria trip...with
excitement....

Work is too much...Need to finish off things soon and come back to India..Thats the whole intension....Lets see how it goes...And I am booked for 215 man hours...So really need to finish off things swiftly...

Paid hotel rent of 1340 Euros for one more month...So till May20th I am safe here....I just dont know I give least priority to money...I never bother about it....I did not had pin..I did not know how to check balance..I dont want to get jumbled in that finance thing....So the girl who is yet to come should have atleast this quality......managing money matters..I am still like a kid..Who will be happy if he is given enough money to eat pani puri on road side and bus fare...I like it that way...No macro management...but god does not want to relieve me of this.. By posing biggest challenges...starting from education loan to house loan...So finding it hard to manage money..I hate money....

Hairs have grown crazily long...Falling onto my eyes..I have to get it cut....Thats my weekend plans....Waiting to embrace the long weekend....3 days..sick..!!!!!!!!! I am missing my friends Anupamas marriage, karthik shimoga marriage...trip with my friends..and everyone...God...Sick thing...Missing them a lot lot and lot............And my best wishes are always there for them..

Love is a gift of one's innermost soul to another so both can be whole........This statement captured my attention...Isn't it?? we give everything to the person we love...yes the soul itself....In the sense.we never live our life once we start loving...Its about the other person...

The pain I am feeling....
=========================
I see you staring at me,
but you never truly see,.........

why I love you, oh, so much,
when you're so out of touch...........

Feelings that we could have shared,
you flung behind without a care.

It seems so hard to let you go,
and the process is so slow.

I don't know whether I should stay,
and waste another day away.

I do know, though, that all this pain,
will soon drive me insane.

You don't feel me loving you,
and you just can't seem to get a clue.

You don't see me cry inside,
and in you I know I can't confide.

Yet still I find that you are blind,
to things meant to be kind.

You know nothing of my fears,
and are unaware of all my tears.

I know I really can't deny,
things I feel as I look you in the eye.

So who will help me make it though?
Who will tell me what to do?

How come every time I see your face,
for me there's never any space?

Maybe someday you'll see me differently,
so until then, I'll be waiting silently.


One more from the pages of life:
======================================
At first we loved, but not again.
We met on our way,
and we talked ever since.
We stood staring at each other,
I wondered the time, we would...
Stand together. Holding hands on a lake side...
as we walk down the street,...
I wondered when our lips Would meet....

My heart is broken, u seem to ignore,
The pain I have, when u left me sore.
Our love was strong In which now your heart is blind to see,
now I feel that your love has forgotten completely about me.
Well all in all I'm heartbroken Without u by my side,
I wish we could love each other like we did that one time. ..............


You and I were the greatest thing
Laughter and smiles is what we would bring..........

We would talk on the phone, until it was time for bed
Even then I would see you, in my dreams, inside my head......

Every time I saw you, I would always smile
You could see a glow in my eyes from miles and miles

God!!!!, I wish I was still holding onto you
But you gotta man now, so what can I do?

Now when I see you, there's always a frown
Won't you please turn that sad frown upside down?

If you're not happy with this person, then just say goodbye
Because seeing you depressed, brings tears to my eyes

Today I approached you, but you didn't say a word
I still have feelings for you, haven't you heard?

I miss seeing you smile and laugh
Won't you please remember the fun we had?

Holding hands eating lunch
Wow! I miss you a whole bunch

Just ask my family and my friends, you were all I talked about
Now all I do is to never take the topic about...

I love hearing your voice; it brings a smile to my face
It's a sound that I shall always embrace

I had no idea I actually felt this way
Please tell me, why does it feel like you're pushing me away?

The reason we broke up, I don't even know why
Just thinking about you now makes me want to cry

Enough about him, he makes me sick
I miss you way more than just a little bit

I need to toughen up; I know we'll always be apart
That is the reason why right now, I have a broken heart


Signing off with these thoughts..........may god bless you all..Give life filles with love...

"One cannot discover new oceans, unless one has courage to lose sight of the shore"

” If people start criticizing you, hurting you, shouting at you.. don’t be bothered. Because in any game, spectators make noise, not the player. So just play on !”

” There are only two people who can tell the truth about yourself.. a friend who has lost his temper, or an enemy who starts loving you.”

We being the sincere workers..Happy Workers day...May 1st...........

Have a nice long weekend guys...

Loads of love,
Shashank

Crazy poetry.....

Swami Vivekananda, among other things was a great football enthusiast ! What he said all those years ago still holds true.

“Life is the biggest game man has to play between the ultimate goalposts of birth and death. His dilemma stems from his decisions and relationships; whether he should steer the ball politically or emotionally, keeping control through his creative and artistic integrity. Winning or losing depends on how fairly he tackles the game. Because the rules are already set by the invisible Referee. All he needs to do is play his matches sincerely and without guile.”

Yes life is a football game....We get hurt..We run again...our each step is watched by almighty.....He is the one to give yellow card or red card....He is the one to judge the good and bad of our deeds and punish us accordingly.....

Saw an exciting match between Barcelona and Chelsea..The UEFA cup.....both are my favorite teams..I was so Confused as to which team to support..Barcelona has my favorite player Messi.....hence will be supporting Barcelona...That guy is like a mercury..Though match ended in a draw 0-0...I was top on my toes...on the bed...sitting with a hunch back..with pillow being the target for all my aggression...and anxiety.....While watching Football I was getting a thought..If god allows me choose my role in my next lifetime..My one option will be a football player in Europe(Not a cricketer, even Ganguly can play cricket)...Here after god they will be worshipped...Really!! The energy they have..The stamina..Run continuously for 1:30 hrs is not a matter of joke....My second option will be a superstar in the field of music...Singer, guitarist, drums anything...Thats the only job where people listen to u...People love your voice...I had this great wish of being an actor, really..I wanted to be an actor....how good it will be to potray a real life character...Acting like mad..acting like a husband..acting like a father...a great feeling isn't it....This dream I had looking at the great personalities like Amitabh, Aamir khan, Rajkumar.....but now have changed my opinion after seeing the actors from kannada film industry....Some host from U2 channel...Some one who is a friend of a producer...someone who has a gang of actor friends...someone who wants to be an actor for money..someone for his livelihood..someone for girls..someone for fame...Curly hair....colored brown...facial done...learn dance...lift some weight in gym...anyone can be a hero...Whats missing importantly is the passion of art...the passion one can see in the eyes of great actors...how they take each role so seriously.......FOr instance see Aamir khan in Dil chahta hain..when he cries when his dad calls him when he will be in Australia...I am still the deewana of that scene....how real .....Thats what I cant see in any hero or what they claim as Hero material......And one more interesting thing is, if a girl is born and brought up in Bangalore...They go behind these hero materials...atleast I have seen many in Basavanagudi....one girl whom I met very recently..She is from gandhi bazaar...She is seeing one Kannada Singer.....I dont want to name the singer...And one girl whom I met in Church street ( a Bangalorean) was seeing Diganth....and craving for him................yes..this conversation can go on...but i dont want to be an actor now....this whole thing has changed my perception of acting and the actors.....They all look like a bunch of same people to me....acting looks a business more than an art....

Here I want to tell one story, a very close friend of mine...He always wanted to be an actor..He is a very good dancer..but have not seen his acting skills yet....but after our B.E we all were searching for an IT job....We were looking at the 12K money for the coolie work we do...He went to Chennai to learn acting...Seriously....he was committed to both acting and love...He went to chennai...He worked so sincerely..he learnt camera work..he was dying to get a break...He has done whatever he can for that passion....but it did not pay for him...He wasted( I dont want to use that term here but.??? rather used) these 3 -4 years to fulfill his passion...but was never successful....I wish to see him act one day...I wish him all the best...!!!! now he is working as a test engineer....back to junk software life cycle..............Where people earn money for the disease they are sure they are going to get....where people live to work and dont work to live....They try hard ...achieve few spot awards...put everything to a project which ends in disaster.....or will be sacked without thinking twice....People start loving their company...I am from Infosys..I am from WIpro and all....but company lever loves them...I feel prostitutes and software engineers are the same..Unless u r liable to the party, you are not benifited....Sell urself...earn money....

Ironically, I shall give another instance...Where once can become an actor easily...Go to Devanahalli region..Catch a guy who had 5 acres of land....he will be having 25 crores bank balance...Do maskaa to him...befriend him....impress him..Praise him...thats it ...He will give one leaf of the 25 he has.....and next day u r a star......Some love story..New hero in....2 romantic songs...color the hair...and spread ur arms like ganesh does...You are a hero.........

With these things...

Everyone has to watch this short movie:

http://www.cultureunplugged.com/play/1081/Chicken-a-la-Carte

Its an amazing one....

I enjoyed the film as a whole, but the most poignant moment in it were the children of the family and the expressive faces on them as soon as the food arrived.

The joy of expectancy, the innocent looks of satisfaction on having received the food was incredible ! For them sadly, the father bringing in the food was a part of their daily routine. In their gullibility they were perhaps of the opinion that this is what food looked like, or how it was procured. Could it be that this is what food looked like ! That this was the way it was meant to be. Perhaps the father never told them where it came from. But the excitement on their faces was in my mind the largest or the greatest irony of life. They looked at this offering as being the correct and only way food would be conveyed to them.

My heart beats for those little ones for their innocence........So people going to mac-d, KFC or whatver..see the fate of them and then order..........

Since Monday, work has been my everything...........I have embraced it with all the smile....Yes work gives me immense pleasure and satisfaction...I love to work and I love when work loves me in return....I cant sit Idle..I am a paranoid....waiting for that day May31st when excitement meets reality and the dreams are played real....Yes waiting for that day.......When I fly back from here..

I am missing all the IPL matched...bhooo hoo...crazzy...Just not liking that....watching score online...Anyway will be in office till 8 PM....But I miss watchin g it live...Yesterdays match was an awesome on DD v/s Rajashtan Royals....Yousuf Pathan was too much in that match...Great one....!!

Was eating puliogre from past two days for lunch..I am kind of bored of that now....Had cooked amazing beans sambaar with some green peas...So nights dinner was fun........with egg burjee...

The team here is growing...So many people are joining here...my friend rajkumar is also coming..So Austria trip planned..It will be Konigsee- Salzburg trip for two days...in May 2nd week....

Nothing exciting...Life is going off..off and off....hee hee :)....

Ending with these quotes:
=========================

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

I understand with love comes pain, but why did I have to love so much?

There is one pain I often feel, which you will never know. It is caused by the absence of you.

Love,
Shashank

The Kaiser Castle.....

With all that translation...............Shall start my blog today....

Shall explain my weekend funda.......Saturday woke up at 6 AM ...First of all, weekend is so long..On top of that...phew!!!!!!!! Was trying to kill time on the bed.....Thinking that this n all.......Some dreams...broken..Some dreams to be weaved.......Thoughts running from this corner of my mind to the other corner....Dont know how many times I would have turned sides..........One thought or imagination goes like this..Which is like a song.......

I am a wounded soldier... Have been wounded in the battle of love... I have been hit all over my body.. Except for the chest... Which I have protected with my two palms.. Holding onto my heart.... I am preserving it alone..because its where you dwell.. I am shot everywhere.... I am bleeding...I am trying to hide the stains... Wiping it out through my tears.......... My eyes have run dry... Its enough.. I am standing right in front of you.. I have nothing ..But for my heart .. which I have preserved from every pain.. I am right in front of you... You are the one to call the last shot.. If yes, it shall rip apart this heart and I shall fall at your feet... I shall leave this last few left tear drops at your feet...... Sighing ur name ..on the last few breathes.... If you give me a life....I shall surrender... I am already........ The wounds and the cuts would heal.. They would heal with your midas touch... I would smile once again..The pain shall vanish... I shall promise, I will make this life a happy song... I shall sing everynight for you.... We shall walk on the beaches holding our hands and We shall spend the nights looking at the endless dark blue sky......... Gazing at the stars...Spreading our dreams onto various constellations... Where I shall beg the mercy of the sky, to steal one of them and keeping with me....(you my star)..... Its upto you....You have the shot...


Good one isn't it?? The lines above are purely coincidental...and never resembles anyone..Its just the flow of words in my heart............

And with this thought, I woke up...and got ready to go for shopping....We all went to mediamarkt..Which is a big shopping mall...Something like Garuda mall..It was great...I saw few amazing shoes, jackets, shirts, t-shirts and all...I saw one superb jewellery set...WIsh I had a girl friend..I would have definitely gifted that to her.....Alas!! Now Saved money :) Hee hee :)......Saw so many things...And was also seeing what I can take home...to my sisters, parents and friends...Did not buy anything though...Have planned things now..Saw one amazing watch..but it was 450 Euros...Phew!!!!! Planning to give my dad a watch.....So made up my mind..Thought shopping shall be postponed....Hee hee :)...my legs were singing song..I was so tired...my legs were moving so involuntarily ....Then We all went to MarkTKauf, Bought vegetables, green peas, beans,..fruits...milk, joghurt etc...Came back dragging that heavy bag to room and was dragging the body too..Dont know whether bag was pulling bag or bag pulling my body..........Then We ate rice and yoghurt.....with a pickle...Slept off...Whole afternoon...phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evening woke up ...Went for a walk to Sardarjis shop....To buy calling card..Unluckily..I did not get a card..Went around alone for 2-3 kms..Came back...After that was watching match between Manchester United and West Hamburg..it was an amazing match..With ManU winning 5-2...Loved it...
For night we thought we should cook Dal like the one they cook in Nandhini..I love that with ghee...So I had that color, taste everything in my mind..and kept dal for boiling...then onion, oil that this..khottha k hotttha.....now the suspense endds...The Dal was exactly the same as Nandhini one...We were so happy..We were so eager to eat it...I loved the Nights dinner..It was great..Dal, rice, lijjat papad, curd rice and one small pickle....Loved it..!!!! Kept little dhaal for morning as well...and was watching match between Barcelona and Manchester...Dont know when I dozed off....I needed a good sleep after so many days....

Sunday morning , woke up at aroung 8:30 AM....after a good nights sleep..I was fully charged and was feeling light...We had planned to visit SIddhivinayak temple here....We all went, but sadly It was in front of a graveyard and it was closed..The place was so deserted...We were scared to stay there...Myself and Nagaraju decided we shall go somewhere...We went to Kaiser Castle....Its a nice place...And here I need to mention one thing..There is one ring suspended
onto the churchs gate there..If we turn it one round luck shall come to us it seems...Being unlucky, I needed to grab luck as much as I can...So I thought of turning it whole day..But ...We went to that church and rotated the ring thrice..So I am triple lucky now...Lets see what fate has in its store for me...Then we climbed upto the Kaiser castle..With so many museums on our way..Each one charging 6 Euros to see some old things displayed there..Sad thing is its
all in German..And I was sure I would not understand a bit of it...So we did not go to any...Finally we reached the pinacle...The Kaiser Castle..The view from there and the Greenery around can make lovers romantic, birds sing and river roar.....Unlucky me....:(..So we went uphill..Saw different places in the Castle...It was an awesome experience...We roamed around till Noon..Again We were tired.....We took photos till the camera said I am exhausted.....It shall be uploaded and the link be given....We were like personal photographers to each other...Have taken my photo in every angle..So it should be easy for me to choose a photo to upload in matrimonial sites......Hee hee :)..Even Nagaraju did the same..I have taken his in every possible corner of the castle...So he would be discussing each stone there with his wife....

We came back to room...Cooked amazing peas sambaar with garam masala....It was smelling great..We ate like hell....Slept off...

The sun is setting..and Sunday is about to bid bye....And I am just happy in my mind thinking I have to bid only maximum 4 Sundays bye...then I shall be home...So I am happy to send this Sunday to past........I am thinking to request my manager to send me a bit early...I have so much of pending work to do on my house loan............

With this I want to end this blog....Hope everyone is not bored of reading my huge blog.....I just like to narrate things...

Leaving you all with this thought...

What makes all Mother’s special –
When I came home drenched in the rain my brother said –
“Why don’t you take an umbrella with you !”

My sister said –
“Why didn’t you wait till the rain stopped !”

My father angrily said –
“You will only learn after getting a cold !”

But my mother while drying my hair said –
“Stupid rain !”

My love to her..............


I am just an actor. An actor that shall pretend with all earnestness at his command in the fake glory of accomplishment !!

The magic of life! And a confirmation that all acting eventually ends in its ultimate uselessness !!

May you be ever successful and happy..

May you be pure and responsive… and may you have the strength to dissolve fake accomplishment !! The whole world is fake.....

For this you have my prayers and my love -

Shashank.

hi,

This song I love it like hell....

Tujhse Naaraaz nahin zindagi, hairaan hoon main
ohhhhhhhh hairaan hoon main
Tere masoom savalon se pareshaan hooN main
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh pareshaan hoon main

Jeene ke liye socha hi na tha, dard sambhalane honge
muskuraoon tho, muskurane ke karz utaarne honge
muskuraoon kabhi to lagta hai
jaise hontonn pe karz rakhaa hai
tujhse ..............

Aaj agar bhar aayi hain, boondein baras jaayengi.....
kal kya pata inke liye aakhen taras jayengi..
jaane kahan gum kahan khoya.....
ek aansu chhupake rakha tha
tujhse ...

zindagi tere gum ne hamain rishte naye samajhaye
mile jo hamain dhoop main mile chhaanv ke thande saaye
o tujhase ...

Tujhse Naaraaz nahin zindagi, hairaan hoon main
ohhhhhhhh hairaan hoon main.........

I love this song so so much........Like crazy...


Hmm I have lot to update isn't it?? After the silent saturday ..The Sunday....It was great..In the afternoon Had been to VolksFest and KongressHalle....KongressHalle was the former Nazi party Rally grounds...When I am there I could here the Hitlers voices echoing onto that incomplete walls and structures...Its huge and just like Rome colloseum....It was stopped midway after the death of Hitler...But its located in an amazing place ..just next to an artificially built lake..lake is huge........You can get more info on this If one is really interested and Nazy Party in this link
http://www.kubiss.de/kulturreferat/reichsparteitagsgelaende/englisch/dokuzentrum.htm
After that we had been to VolksFest, its a fair kind of thing....Giant wheels, turning wheels etc etc.....I still remember how we were fooled there..We went inside and as soon as we passed few shops..There was this one scary house.....I could not resist having the sweet memories of Wonderla..Which I loved...I decided i should try this..So me Pangi and Nagaraju went and sat in a pulling train..They charged 2.5 Euros per head....the train went up slowly...and all of a sudden we were taken into some cave kind of thing..Pitch dark.and few scary things hanging around and we just came out...That was neither scary nor exciting..Simply We wasted 7.5 Euros on a silly thing...Then We decided we shall not go to any such scary houses or whatever...After the Volks Fest..We came out..Spent some time on the lake side..Came back to room.....It was good...I loved the experience..Now I have this great wish of visiting the documentation center of Kongress Halle and really want to know the History of Nazis and Hitler..I am excited..I shall get to know and read the authentic things....Now I know whats NurnBerg famous for...............

Then the Monday, tuesday and wednesday were so boring...Work work work...I have not done anything apart from that....Days are getting longer and longer...nights even more longer....phew!!! I need to spend 30 -40 days like this...Counting on man.....I just want to run away from here.....Though nothing exciting is waiting at Bangalore for me.....I know it will be boring there as well...But atleast i can eat whatever I want to.....I can go anywhere alone and freely...I can roam around in my Pulsar...I can buy things...I can do hell lot of things.....If nothing is possible then go and sit on the top of Gopalaswamy betta and enjoy nature.......

Life has been a roller-coaster for me in these past 5 days...I had written I should decide on something in my previous blog...Thats why I wanted to come to bangalore...But thats decided from here only.........Everything is remote now is n;t it...remote desktop..remote connection..now this is remote decision...So no excitement in coming to bangalore now....Here, uzbekisthan, china, japan, America..Iraq, Pakistan, or even to mars..I am ready to go now..........

People are enjoying holiday back home....Voting...Good...This time I had got voting card..got registered in Bangalore...I had registered in jaagore.com as well..I was so much enthu to vote...But I am here...Sad..

Keep reading...

Have fun...

Take Care.
