Subject:Paheli - ->Waste of time and money.
Security:Public
Mood: blah

Had a Nice Dinner yesterday night at FUSION.
The aftermath was completely spoiled by "PAHELI".
The Movie has stolen the concept from kannada super hit "NAGA MANDALA".
No good music...bad direction..shahrukh/rani at their worst.
You simply cant catch up with the movie...however hard u try...no
story line...complete nonsense...some booooth coming and getting somebody
pregnant is the whole story alltogether:)):)):)).


The Weather continues to be awesome and i am loving it :).

Subject:work while u are at work..!!
Security:Public
Mood: good
Music:stairway to heaven

Has been in industry for quite sometime now..and
think i can definetely vouch for the title (work while u are at work).
There are all kind of feelings we get about all kind of things...when
we dont have much work we say that we are gettin bored...when we have lot of work
we say that its tooo hectic,kind of work is not good,the facilities are not good ,
the management is partial towards few ppl, the companies outside are payin a lot
more salray and what not......and amidst all thisdo we devote ourselves fully to work ??
if u dont like the kinda work or whatever dont make a noise about it....just do it
to ur best until u are in it and quit silently into what u like.
BUT BUT make sure that u are working to ur best while u are at work....you
will definetely feel proud of it one day and gain a lot which otherwise u are
definetely to miss.

Was in office till 9.20 ..and suddenly my neighbour prashant suggested we shall
try our luck for the 9.30 "parineeta" show.....and we reached there 5 minutes late..\
...and to our luck we managed to get 2 tickets from a couple who decided to ditch the show
at the last momemt...
we entered teh hall at 9.40 and the movie had just started.......
saw saif ali khan on a piano as soon we entered ..and soon followed teh herione(Vidya Balan) of the
movie who came to get saif ready for some function...
Vidyas acting was goood....awesome u can say for a first timer....
The direction and music were ok....
The storyline was goood...
Rekha loooked still hot...for her special apperance...laalllaaa....


Definetely worth seeing once....

Gruhapravesaham

More photos here --> Gruhapravesham photos

Went to Bangalore for 12 days in 3 breaks last month...and the outcome ("Gruhapravesham" on monday the 30th ) was all the worth of hardships :).
Met all my relatives after a very long time....had a very nice time..will be cherished for a long time to come.
The work has become more than hectic along with all the pending work of the leaves i took....has been continously slogging for last 3-4 days.

Mood: relaxed
Music:all my life...foo fighters

One thing which can always make me happy and make me come out of
any state was/is/will be good food.
Was horribly bored the whole day and was in worst of the moods till
the food i ordered from lotus pond arrived...
And as to my expectations after being a regular costumer offlate..the food was simply
amazing..:):)...could easily break every single rice pie ( the only place where i think
i have eaten some rice like this is mainland china in bangalore)....the curry had its own
special taste and was perfectly goin hand in hand with eth awesome rice.

And now i have suddenly strted to enjoy the cool air outside (as if eth weather changed
for me all of a sudden)..!...and me goin out for a walk right after this :):)

Subject:Analysis/Thinking.......
Security:Public
Mood: optimistic
Music:the trail - - floyd

lot of learning/analysis/thinking for the past 5 odd months.

* "technically" : have done/learnt almost the double of what i did in my prev company for one and half years..

* "travelling and seeing places": saw 3 hill stations and a few other good places in and around delhi..that way
delhi is the centre for all the tourist places for north india....plan to cover up evertything during my stay here..
...planning a jammu trip this month end ( hopefully it works out :):))

* "life style" : this has taken a serious low.....lonely feeling...horrible weather...managing everything singlehandedly
starting from cleaning the house to etc etc...

* knowing the industry from the grass root levels....not sure of existance 2mrw....seeing a few layoffs...understanding the
"survival of the fittest" rule much better....."do you work and dont care or worry a lot about the rest"... "dont let
others use your back to shoot" -> had a couple of bitter expereiences where though everybody had the same concerns,i
was the one who spoke out and think kicked myself into bad shoes of management (always try to go as a group...and just
be quiet if you know that nothing is going to effect)...

Summary : the more you learn and understand/analyse from your past....stronger you move ahead !!
