A thought berg

Wat a waste of a day!!!

Got up in da morning to find out my roomate took my bike to work. So, me decended from being 'A man on wheels' to 'A man on legs'.

Saw "Kambhaqt ishq" a week ago... I am wondering why do some ppl make movies jus for the sake of it??

That was a classic example of a crap of a movie... Inspite of all the superstars in the flick I think that I wud rather spend thsoe 3 hours in a toilet taking a dump.

Wat do they think of the viewers? Are we dumb or wat???

Half blood prince, which I saw the las Sunday was such a nice movie. Jus loved the storyline, characters and the direction of the movie.

The people have been comin and goin as usual. I found a 1bhk near BTM. Its located on the 3rd floor. A bit small in space but its a new building and the smell of fresh paint accompined by the freedom of lyf.. wow. Thinkin of movin' in soon.

The weather is so nice now a days. Feel like to hit it out mostly. Nice cool, cloudy weather... Wish it wud always stay like this. Its bin a long time since I played cricket. I happend to catch hold of a guy at my gym who is from punjab and plays cricket at state level juniers. They practice on a ground near my house. Thinkin to join those guys sometime in the near futute. Its bin a long time since I held a bat in my hands. Hope to have some fun again.

Ok, will throw in more thoughts late... me goin out to do stuff that will spawn new thoughts in ma head.

The house hustle

There are a few tough things in a man's lyf who works away from his family and lives alone by himself like arranging for proper food, laundry, maintaining discipline in lyf and finding a house.

Ya, finding a house might sound a bit odd here but ask me. A roomate of mine has got married and there are gonna be 2 of us in this expensive house. I got a month to search for a suitable shelter.

I have seen a few good options but eitehr those are too expensive or there are a lot of owner restrictions which will make it hard to bear with.

My rent budget is 4-5 K for a 1bhk house where I can fit all my belongings. I have a TV, freezer, microwave, PC, bike, a few tables, kitchen ware etc. and lots of cloths. So, it should be spacious to accomodate this. Besides rent, I am willing to pay abt Rs. 700 for electricity and water and will pay another Rs. 1000 for an internet connection and abt Rs. 500 for maid who wud wash my cloths and clean the house. So, it comes down to abt Rs 7,500 for monthly fixed living cost.

Now, I have a good house available in Murgeshpalya(airport road) but the owner is strict. He is against all partying and bringin over friends and playin music etc. So, there is no way i will get in that hosue.

I have another option in BTM. A house which was lived by a friend of mine, once. The hosue costs 5K and its a ncie spacious 1bhk except for the kitchen which is too small but since I am not much into cooking, I can manage. The nearby area has a laods of eating options and a gud market around makes it quite a lucrative deal. The owner doesnt live here and comes once in a month to collect the rent.

My friend told me that she wud talk to the owner abt me that i am a very nice guy who doesnt drink and smoke etc. She wud get him to agree on renting me that house. She is at gud terms with that owner. Lets see if I can get that house but I am not much hopeful as most flats in that building are given to the single girls or married couple. I think owner wudnt be Okay with the idea of having a single dilphek dude to stay in that building... a potential threat to the integrity of those singles hehehe ;-)

However, my friend says that she wud make a story to the owner that I am engaged and getting married in 3-4 months and soon will have my wife here.

I asked her why tellin lies as I am not lookin to get married to any1 in next 2 years. She said dont worry he will soon see that u are a 'mind my own business' type of a guy and who doesnt bother others. Later, if he asks then I can tell him that my marriage is stuck due to some family issues etc. He will forget it all soon in 6 months.

Lets see if this works out but still I am not okay with this idea of makin a story to get a house.

However, I can have great feedom in that house to do watever I want to... music, masti, fun... stuff like coming late in the morning to my house or staying awake late and watchin movies, calling friends over etc. Since, no1 around is bothered at all, to know wat their neighbors do.

If it doesnt work out then I jus have to keep lookin for more and more till I find a suitable accommodation that fullfills all my needs and provides me a great freedom... without havin an owner pokin his nose into my personal life and routine.

Besides this, I need to have a good gym to workout peacefully. I love to work out. It jus helps in releaising all the tensions of work and lyf and gives you a healthy mind and body. I need to find a gym which is well equipped and located nearby.It should have a good coach who knows good enough abt the excercise routine and diet that can help me carve out thsoe well defined six pacs ..hehehe.

I wish to grow a gud 6 pacs from 4 pacs that i have now, by the end of this year.

Here, is a pic of mine...

There are 2 goals that I have set for my self this year. First is to get a promotion to Tech lead this year end or next year mid and second is to have even better defination on my body... really well defined six pacs. It feels great to see the hard work pays off. I am a very stubborn type of guy.

Apart from this, The life is chuggin along quite nicely. The weather in Bangalore is great now, cool and breezy.

Yesterday, a friend of us came from delhi. This guy works as a network enginneer in an MNC and lives in BTM. He came over to our domlur house and then in the evening 3 of us went out to MG road. roamed around then went to the 16th floor. It was bustling as usual and it was hard to find a seat. After spenign sometime there we came out to have dinner at 'oye shawa' a punjabi resturant located at church street. We came back at 1 am.

Right now, I am jus checkin mails and scraps. Thinkin to go out in evening to meet some friends and to search for a shelter. I hope to find a gud one soon... wish me luck.

Cheerio!!!

Another week ends now

Sitting at my PC, I am thinkin to pen down sorry, key down ;) a few things.

The recession has cost many their jobs dearly and its been a dark cloud chasing many IT professionals. Though, I had thought that my team was spared from it but lately it claimed the job of a close collegue of mine. A very happening and cheerful friend of mine. He always advices me on career and office life. How many things we have discussed together. So many jokes... a lot of time I wud join him to the smoke stand though I dont smoke myself but jus to keep him company at the risk of being a passive smoker... still, it was worth it. He told me last monday that he wud be given the pink slip. We had the air that sum1 wud be layed off in our process this year... poor him.

I am gonna miss him. Gud thing is that he got a job in mumbai and will shift there next month.

A real fun loving person who smilis even at the adverse circumstances. He tells me " Mudit no matter bad a shit, life offers u to chew on... never stop smiling and being happy. There is always another opportunity awaits to welcome you."

A guy, notorious for talking too much about his wife and family. People disliked 1 thing about him that is his too much friendliness with the collegues. He calls his male collegues "dada, chahca etc." and his female collegues " ji, behan etc.". I do remember a lot of times people bitchin abt him and back bititng him, making fun of his obese physique and calling him a luckless flirt etc. in his absence

I am sure they all gonna miss him. hehehe

Talking about people leaving. There is sum1 else who left the job on the 18th of June(last thursday). One secret here....

When I joined this company I had a crush on a cute gal. I realized that she had one on me... we started to talk but coz of sum1 who knew both of us we developed sum misunderstandings. Then a battle of egos that lasted over a year which never allowed me to talk to her ever since she didnt greet me one day coz sum friend of hers told sum crap to her about me...(long story). Months later when I cut off from her totally she tried to talk to me a few times in last 6 months but I acted so stuck up and always curbed her initiatives to have a conversation.

A few weeks ago she came across me at the cafe gates that I had opend for myself. She was there on the other side with her bunch of friends. I allowed them to go through as an act of gentleman's curtsy. She slowed behind her rushing friends, looked at me and said thanks in a very soft voice but I moved on like an arrogant pig giving a very "I dont give a shit to u" look to her.

Feel like, I should have atleast given her a smile and "u r welcome" note but...

Perhaps, that was the last time she said anything to me. 3 weeks later I came to knw she was leaving the job from a close friend of mine who was also her friend. Inspite of our like for eachother we never talked. The reason was me. I think I mind too many small things too quickly and never take initative to resolve those... but wat to do? She is a goner now. I learnt that she moved to Mumbai for further studies in meadia and ads. Gud for her... None the less she was one of the cutest gurls I ever talked to. However, a lot of my guy friends seemed to disagree. They always said "dude, Jenny is too thin and her skin is too pale. How come u like her over many others?" Well, I liked her eyes.. hazle and so enchanting... enuf said.

A lot of people are leaving these days. Dont know why?

Another friend of mine left Bangalore on the same day... the 18th of june (last thursday). She and I have known eachother for about 2 years. She calls me a "bad boy" and inspite of all my attempts to be gud she doesnt change her perception of mine. She always said that she admired me for some reasons but never told me exactly what were those reasons. It is gonna be a mystry now. She has moved back to her hometown and she said she wud come to Bangalore to meet with me and insisted me to find time for her wenever she wud come without makin any excuses for my unavailibility. hehe.... I know that these are jus words.

Anyways, I am sure she can never forget this "heartless, untiring strong guy" who was too rough with her... as she says. No matter wat she does but I will always be a part of her unforgetable memories...

Came to work on my bike and left work early with her on thursday to drop her to a bus-stand later that night where she had to catch a Volvo to her hometown. Spent a few hours with her at her house talkin and discussin things.

I hope she has a bright and successful future ahead. She is relly such a sweet gal. A topper through her career and a very sensative person.... enuf said.

My dad lost his cell again. He called me from a new number explained me how from others mistake he lost his cell again ;) hehe... He has this amazing ability to find a way to lump the matter on the others head.... My mom wud agree with me for sure ;) hehe... I miss 'em all so freakin much.

Had a blast today coz my roomate had successfully cleared a cisco certification exam that will help him take a long stride in his career. So, weekend was busy partying out with my roomates.

A new day to begin with tomorrow... There is no count of people who hate Mondays. Of course its the heaviest and the laziest day of the week unless its the payday or its a bank holiday ;).

Enuf said.

Cool weekend coming to an end.

The last couple of days have been quite gud and bad different. Saw so many things from life to departures of sum loved ones.
I became uncle yesterday when my cousin's wife gave birth to a cute baby boy. I went to see the happy parents today in the evening. A nice family gathering as my uncle and aunt also arrived. Its quite nice coz I rarely see relatives in Bang. Life is so bzy and people dont have time even for themselves not to mention others.

Yesterday, I went to see a close friend who is gonna leave bang soon. Two of us had spent sum memorable time together in past... some sweet and sour moments. This is probably one of the last few meeting with my friend coz then she will leave the city for futher studies.
A nice caring friend, shy and sumtimes a bit negative. The ghost of her past hauts her and she finds it nearly impossible to burry it. I try to instill some positive vibes in her but to no avail. I usually fail in an attempt to be her grief counselor. I feel there are two ways to kill sadness. First is to try to fight sadness and the second one is to try to be happy. I feel the latter one is the easier way. So, the second one is the one I treat her with. It works.

Had a nice time. We both are fond of chicken but she doesnt eat it anymore... she says till she clears UPSC exams she wont have chicken.... wow wat a vow. Sum people dont understand that giving up sumthing tastey as chicken doesn't gurantee success in exams.
So, I had the pleasure of eating the whole offering. Then I went to drop her. I happend to meet up with her sis. This lady works in IT - software field. Had sum technical discussion with her till my friend couldnt bear us talking some tech nonsense in front of her. Then I decided to push off. I left with sum memories. Maybe, we wud never get to see eachother again...
Then after a nice outing in and out I came back home at 1 am.
My roomates were still out at a sports bar in Indira Nagar watching cricket match among some happening crowd ;-) . They returned half an hour later.

I fell in bed and started to think abt a few things of past. Really how intricate the life is.. Whatever we plan doesnt really materialize. There are moments that we want to relive but never get a chance. There are moments that we want to forget like a bad dream but cant. Yet, wat makes life interesting is a mix of these sweet and sour moments.

Every new day brings a new day... Its monday tomorrow and again the same ol' typical day at work utill sumthing new happens. A hope of a new career opportunity makes it look exciting. Who knows wat may happen tomorrow? I dont, nor I want to waste my time thinkin about it.

Let the life unvail wat it hides for me in da future.
