A week in Pune

Let me start from the scratch.
The journey - begins from Ahmedabad on Ahmedabad - Pune special express.
Though we paid almost 1000bucks for a 2A, we travelled with a zillion cocroaches. The 3A was a new coach and was better than the expensive class. Well, the grass is always greener on the other side u see.
Coming home to pimpri, vishalnagar wasnt much of a trouble. The same old coolie fight and the autowala fight early morning @ 5am got me all energized with V & V..

By the time is was 5pm i was out on the streets. All i could see were youngsters. Bikes and sunglasses and young people fill this city.
Went in to Snigis' place, chit chatted a while and left for KP (Korgaon Park). Our first destination was the very famoous 'German bakery'. Ordered the omellete, Chips & salad & choc mousse. Chips and salad - Salad filled with palak and the taste dint quite set in here. I still love my finger chips with the plain old Ketchup. So i grabbed a bottle of ketchup from a table across us.
Then, we hit the road for some Osho chappal shopping.Cheap - Neat - Cool - Just 50 bucks :)
Our next destination was The Ship, though we werent hungry we just went in to have a drink. Mind well it was a dry day - so just the mocktails.
All we ordered was a Safe sex on teh beach, which was almost a sweet syrup.
The ambience of this place is amazing. It was chic - by the garden - nice breeze - great music. U name it and that place had it. We dint move for the next two hours from there. Our talks kept us busy.

Target-Driven Government Jobs, Please !

Its been 17days since we paid the deposit and got the Registration done at BSNL, Jayanagar Office. I wonder how many more days we'll have to use this shitty TATA Indicom connection.
Called the Junior guy - Siddhappa more than 25 times out of which i have spoken to him 5 times.Finally, today i spoke to him and told him i will take back the deposit and he says, "Hain Madam, Koi problem nahi hai" Just because they are sitting there without the care of being chucked out too easy, they are just NOT bothered !Initially, i was promised a connection within 7 days. Thats when they got the money !Then, after no sign of the linemen here, i got the numbers and called the JR. Line Man - Sidhappa. Again for 2 weeks i kept getting answers that it will be done in 2-3 days. Now when i questioned him about his 2-3 day promise he says : "Koun Bola 2-3 din lagega ?" I was zapped ! How easily can some one refuse his uttered words - And you can't even do anything about it the calls were't tapped !Now the complain goes a level higer to Sidhappa's Boss - JAVALI. When i asked why so long, he said cable problem, like we would understand what it is !!Finally, when asked how long ? Can i get a date or the wait is indefinite ? He says: call me tomorrow on my office number. :) Like i am left with no other work than tracking and calling these BSNL guys !I asked again, How long will it take ?He says: If the duration is abnormal, you will recieve a letter.
Please define Abnormal duration for me :/

Yoga with the Stars and farts.

Finally, today it feels like i have conquered Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Finally, today i feel Not like a silly loser who fails to wake up at 5 in the morning.

Thanks to Charan, my 5 day wake up alarms did not go waste.

Yes, I was at Shivanand Ashram at 5:30 am doing Yoga in the wet - lush greenary.

Firstly, we performed ashrams that required a sitting posture and thne the ones lying. During the latter ones i realized - Gosh at 6 am the sky still is dark and partially filled with stars. It was a wonderful feel to have been there lying in Shavasan and just stare at the stars above while your feet felt the wet grass below. 

The Gross part : While performing this catharsis i was admist a few middle-aged who preferred to clease their digestive systems as well, along with their souls :)

There were LOUD farts at quite some intervals. The magnitute and velocity differed though.

As i admired the splendid weather and feel the grass - I was waken up to reality by the farts.

Farts Oh farts - Where do u part !

Lifez like this. Complicated.

1. I have 12 days for my DELF exam.
   
2. I have an aptitute test in 18 days.
   
3. I have 25 days to go for My Wedding. 
   
4. I have 25 + 11 days for my M.Sc. IT finals.
   
5. I have 25 + 11 + 19 to start my training.

In short i have very limited time and i should be using the same wisely.
But instead i sit here and write. Why?
B'coz I feel like.

Now I feel like,

1. Watching Stocks and listen to Chidambaram. Never in my life have i ever been so interested in stocks or realized that i like to hear our FM. No actually, heard his impressive interviews sometime back too.

2. Watching HIMYM. Well, this isnt the unusual though. But never spent so much time, almost half day downloading the required stuff and at the end waste time in watching not even half of it. Just 8 odd minutes for the record.

3. Feel like watching all the movies just released. But then feel instead sall go shopping.

4. In case i do go shopping, all i hope : Please help me 'Like' something. And in case, just by chance i do. Let me own it without any budget restrictions.

Now i wonder - 'Like' - How does one overcome this attribute and learn to set the right priorities and work towards the same.

Life : Its only when there are umpteen number of jobs lined up - that u feel like going to Bali for a vacation.
When you are home, simply relaxing and have a good time watching the television - You feel 'Timez Wasted'

As i listen to Avrils' Complicated - I completely agree to it.
Noting US runs its presidentials today:
My facebook friends in the US have put their status as : Jagir Jhaveri has donated his status to remind everyone to vote for Barack Obama today. Donate your status: http://causes.com/election/26911213?m=ad1fd51b.2 hours ago - Comment
I would - If it would make a difference !

Life laws

Talk law - its only when u feel like talking to that special someone, out of the blue, when the whole day that someone is completely free otherwise, shall be out for dinner with family or stuck up with some work suddenly.

Shopping law:

You finally like something. From the zillion things-shades you've passed off.

But then,

You cant own it - B'coz you just saw the price tag :)

Or, to your delight the budget it just right but,

They dont have your size :)

The 6th of April !!
