Another Random Shit....!!!


So tired I was today.... but this city has got something in it. It gets into ur ass & leaks some adrenalin pumping fluid there....in seconds, u just get into the momentum of the city the moment you step out! And it is never slow. This is weird. This is weird. This is weird!! I was running to catch a local when I had lost all my energy & was feeling next to lifelessness. And in few minutes I became 'oh dam so excited' from '...mmm...need a nap'.

Been to Bandra-Worli Sea link....it's a stupendous example of Engineering mind's capability. But it's a waste of money for commuters....bloody 50 bucks to travel on one side of it. Rs. 50 for a 5 minute drive???? Gimme a break!!!

She is so charming, sweet, lovely & innocent. She is so soft from outside but harder than ferrous from inside. She is always smiling, when so less has gone in her favour. She is a little child, our 15 year old maid.
The hands from which she washes utensils & cleans floors are smaller than my younger sister's hands. God has definitely not been fair to her!!

Nothing like male chauvinism, but it's true, Male species was tactically created to give special rights to Women, to make her feel important. It's Man who pampers women, it's he who is still blamed for anything to everything. It's man who works whole day in the office & is still made to vacate the seat in bus for the lady who is out on a shopping spree. Man's salary goes for baby's diapers & cerelac, and the woman buys her lipstick, gloss, mascara & stilettos. It's men who have been pampering these angel faced demons, who later infuse their venom into man's body. It's a conspiracy against male species. Tell you, men are being exploited & women still need their special rights. God has been partial :P ...ha ha ha ha ha. What an amazing write (girls take this one lightly :P)!!!


A break!! Yeahhhhh...., my offcial trip begns in another 30 hours. I am looking forward to Calcutta-vendor visit. I am eager to again see this intellectual paradise after 6 years. I wan't to be at some of the good places there, I want to be at so many places over there. 3 days look so less. I am looking forward to it.....

Control!!!

Rohit is eager to find clarity but it is harder than he thinks. Lately, his energy levels have become challenging and it is becoming difficult to control the events. It looks he was fast & ran ahead of reality!!!

He needs to be in control of the situation & so he's gonna focus away... He'll be involved in other things.

This is love....!!!



It was a dull day!! I slept & Slept & slept.... & when I was not sleeping, i was simply lying on bed thinking about another round of sleep!!! It was touchy feeling, it was warm. Those tiny tears falling from my eyes made me feel as if 1 litre of water per tear is being sucked out of my soul. It was heavy, easy to jot down but tough reality. I was feeling bad about myself. How could I go so dam wrong. I was so sentimental, coz this time..... I wanted my pasta to be great tasting & not like the one I made last time. But those bloody onions were dam heavy on my heart, chopping them made me cry like a kid demanding 2 Rupee Lolipop!!!

'This is Love!'....that's the lingo I am following since last few days!! That's what I scream in my dreams, I shout when I wake up, I yell on the people around!! And I say while bowing in front of God or people deserving utmost respect!!! this is what I say when my treadmill reading reads '3.10 KM in 16 min.'!!! THIS IS LOVE!!! and it pumps me a li'l more....!! 'This is Love'!

Trust my words, amazing Pasta I cooked today! Yesterday's coffee, facing windy/rainy marine drive wasn't bad either. But more than that it was the whole set up. Never in my life, I have left my work, for a girl asked boss for an early leave & ran out getting drenched in rain. A li'l conversation with boss:

I asked: 'Sir, I want to leave early, I know I was late today but have to leave early. She'll be waiting.'
Boss: 'Dost, trust me, I myself believe, this is not at all the weather to work in office, please proceed'. (My sould brightens)
Me again: '(I knew, he's never gonna say no) Sir, have to go for a date planned long back'
Boss: 'Great, go dear. So you are steady with someone or...'
Me: 'Sir, it's been sometime with her, not very steady as of now, but..'. (Hey, my gal, I wan't to be very steady, get it :P)
Boss: 'Good, I am happy for you'
Me: 'Sir, Can't go before you approve those PO's I sent..' (Had to prove, m a dedicated employee :P)
Boss: 'Approved, you can go now & have fun'!

And in that heavy rain, he went to meet her, when relatives wanted him to be back at home, his father called from Delhi to be at safe place & friends worried coz he turned li'l freaky. He met her for few minutes, not fearing Mumbai rains & high tide!! He smiled, for he got to meet her. He dint not care if it was for mere few minutes!

She then left for home & left me with some soulfull thoughts!!
I romancing with my thots, getting drenched by will, took a mug of Coffee in a sea facing cafe' & that relished inner me. Others were trembling in a windy rainy day, but it was warm for me & I had a reason for that!

This is Love!

P.S. 'this is love' is 'love for life & the lovely moments it gives'

Love of the City - Mumbai!!!


Mumbai has got this strange thing. You'll find the stunningly posh area of the city & barely 10 steps ahead you'll see the real slums. Be it Carter Road, be it Mahim-Dharavi, or be it Worli See Face.

Dharavi is a known name when Mumbai's Geography is talked about. Recently featured in Oscar Winning Movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' Child actors of this movie actually live in Dharavi. This is a place which is barely 3-4 KM from my accomodation in Mumbai.

Dharavi - Largest slum of Asia as they say. Maybe not true anymore - Orangi Town in Pakistan is bigger, but still Dharavi got highest density - almost million inhabitants in just 0.7 square mile. Pheww....!!! Even I got to know it recently!!!

Dharavi provides cheap, illegal accomodation in a very strategical area - between Mahim & Sion, in the center of Mumbai. Rent is just 4 USD per month! Don't think that if it's a slum, Dharavi residents have nothing to do. There is lot of business going on, annual turnover is around 650 million USD. Can you beat that??? Business areas include pottery, textile, recycling (junk). Go to Dharavi & see everything yourself. People are friendly (but not all :P).

In 18th Century Dharavi was an island inhabited by Koli Fishermen, but when it got dry migrants from Gujrat came and established a potter's colony, Muslims from Tamil Nadu set up Leather Tanning Industry. Dharavi is home to Mumbai's first Tamil School. And Many other firsts are on it's name.

That was little search-research on a part of Mumbai - The city I am loving!!!

-------------------------------------------
Early moring, i get up & sit in the window facing huge building. I take a deep breath, count 5 & close my eyes. I dream of the things I have to achieve & Lie down! I remember the people I love & open my eyes. I bow to the goodness of the world. push my adrenalin & bring those goosebumps that propel my day. I stand up & move for Gym.

Today I did 2.8 Km in 16 min.
A week later I expect it in 15 Min.
A month Later in 13 Min.
6 months later I want to run a marathon!!!
I am game for it!!!

Fight On!!!



Creek....Creek...cluck....Clakad.... n my tooth was gone.
No more it is with me. It was painful. But that was not the only pain I had. There's something else that's hurting....

Its not easy out there for many.... My problems are too small.
The girl who washes our dishes, is some 15-16 yrs old & sparkles our dishes-floors so that she can bring some shine to her career. She's the kind of gal, whom i'll think of, whenever chips are down.

Her Daily Routine:

Getting up at 5:00
Starts cleaning floors & dishes at 7:00 & goes on till 3:30
Computer classes at 4:00
Reach back home by 7:00
Household chores till 9:00
Study till 10:30
Sleep till 5:00

And her smile is so dam infectious. My masi has even given her a pet name: 'Gudiya'!


If her's a tough life than feel what these people go through. Try seeing Eunuch's just ahead of Bandra station on harbour line, towards CST. Wearing short, minimal fabric consuming clothes just to lure customers. All this for shelter & 3 time food. They know their profession will not work for them life long. People laugh on & enact vaguely on seeing them, they stay semi nude during heavy Mumbai rains, trembling in cold. Trembling with fever, they still have to make someone horny for the fact that the day's dinner does not come for free. Talk to them & it's guaranteed, you'll forget your pains for sometime & shudder for someone else's pain.

If those small problems have been our botheration than these people are the ones to collect some spirit & inspiration from.

That's Life!!
It wouldn't have been fun, if it would have been so simple!!

Fight On!!!!

Broken Link - Chuck that!! It's a beautiful Monday!!!


Freshness of the blowing wind,
Complementing the beautiful brightness of the soul warming sunshine.
Monday morning sunshine & the li'l droplets falling on the face.
I'll be surely getting ahead of race.
All, signs of beautiful Rainbow formation,
For sure, there will be brightened colorful goodness in life!!
The week looks promising & so is my stand!
Gymming at Talwalkar's & Cappuccino at CCD facing the sea...is how I spend my luxurious weekend!!

I am charged & excited about my existence in coming week!
A relation went bad, when I wanted it to stand tall on me!
I'll get over it, I know I am not that weak!!

Mumbai saw another drizzle, yet another shot of short & precise raining session. But God Indra again Pulled away. Mumbai is deprived of Rain, monsoons have not yet happened here. Clouds have been teasing since last 5-6 days.

Long time!!
Yeah Yeah Yeah! Yeah Long time it's been since I wrote last blog on my own Comp.! It had been giving problems since some time. And today I, the great engineer, son of another great engineer, myself solved the prob. No matter how big the problem is, I'll take it face on (Ouch, did I say too much). Though I doubted (my caliber) that I'll be able to mend it, but it wasn't that difficult. I made it!


Past one month had been eventful....Difficult to explain those events in one go. It's simple, for a guy, life becomes most eventful when he has a girl on his side (thats what nearly whole world assumes & what I mean here). 'I developed liking for a girl, or say yet another girl!! And the whole episode seems to touch an end' this is the summary of all those wonderful events :P. All this should fade away, will dissolve , will melt away with time!!

Above all, past few weeks had been warm :) , fights, hugs, msgs, care, talks, approvals, dissaprovals...whatever whatever whatever....It's a new week, new jobs to be done & I want to meet new people. And, yeah not the ones who are a bit too sunk into themselves!!!

And yeah, I had been interviewed!! Bullshit, those people took my Video Conferencing Interview!! Not a big deal. In life when I was fast asleep, these technological advancements have mushroomed even in the dingy, chirpy, small lanes of Andheri :P!! They arranged a video conferencing session for me, aaaah, it feels good!!! And me... I went in a Adidas Black Polo T, a overdyed indigo jeans, Nike Sneakers & the Lee Cooper Sidepack....Phew.....! Thats how they give interviews in our country :P

Trainer's waiting!! Let's Go Gymming!!!

Linking Park's 'NUMB' on my pod!!!

Bloggy, no gal can take your place dear!!
You are the sweetheart!!

Love you
Rohit
