I am Special !

After watching "Taare Zameen Par", I was wondering, these people claim, every child is special.
If everyone is special, there must be something special about me too ! I thought of some points which can make me special.
1. I don't smoke / Drink ?
There are many who don't smoke or drink.
2. I don't have a girlfriend ?
Many people don't have a girlfriend.
3. I spend money wisely.
Actually I don't. So I cannot be special.
4. Can I paint like Eshan Avasthi ?
here is the proof
5. I love my Mom.
Everybody loves their parents.
6. I like cartoons.
Not a valid point to qualify as special.
7. I am very emotional.
Again not valid.

Actually, I found 100 reasons, why I cannot be special. But there are a few good reasons which make me special.
I have never been to a Gym, but still people ask me, Whether I used to do wrestling (In Marathi we call it Kusti. This game is famous at my hometown Kolhapur.)
Nature has given me such a good built. Strong arms, strong legs. Good height. All the basic senses intact.
Now I am 25 years old. I looked back till the point I remembered, and asked myself,
When was the last time I was admitted to a hospital ?
Never.

When was the last time I took a Sick leave from Office ?
Not a single.

Did I ever break any of my bone ? Any Fracture ?
Nope.

Did I ever vomit ?
The last time I remember was when I was 17 years old, and I ate a lot of Mutton.

Did I ever suffer from any disease ? jaundice, TB, Typhoid, Cholera, Chicken Pox ?
I asked my mom. She said Never.

To be special, What more can you ask for from nature. (For me, Nature is God)

Recently, I figured out another special thing within me.
Its been 6 months, I have been going out for Jogging everyday.
I admit, I am at least 4 Kgs overweight, have an extra 2 Inches of tummy, and still I could run better than people who appear to be fit.
Recently, On nikeurunning.com, I found a VO2 Index Runners chart. according to that, My running pace is rated as "Excellent". When I tell people, I can run 10 Kms non stop. Their jaws drop.
I wondered, How can I run so much without getting tired ? I feel the pain, but that is at the toes. My Thighs never hurt, I never run out of breath (when running at a pace of 5 Kms / min)
If allowed, I can continue to run a marathon of 42 Kms at that pace non stop.
I think, I have the answer. Its my nose.
Lance Armstrong has slightly bigger lungs, which allow help him gather more stamina. Similarly, I have a bigger nose, from which, I can have a large intake of air in one breath. This fact is not proven by doctors. But I think I am right. Till yesterday, I kept cursing my nose. Half of the day, I keep scratching my itchy nose. Whenever I catch cold, I suffer wholesale !. (Imagine a Giraffe catching cough) But Now, I will use the same itchy nose for some good reason. That is what will make me special.
Because of my nose, I can run a long distance. Normal 'Fit' people get tired within just 1 km of run. I can run 10 Kms and dont get tired. After the run, I travel 3 Kms on my bicycle. Go home, I never feel tired. Of course, I get a snory sleep. But I dont collapse after reaching home.

Now, I will continue my runs. Improve my stamina. And one day, I will run a Full Marathon.
When I do it, I will consider myself, "Special"

MILLONEION

Long time ago, in May 2007, I was given an article from Times of India Editorial page to read by my room mate. He said, its a must read for you. I said OK, and started reading it. It was a very small article but was written beautifully. The article touched me, and even I decided to write a blog based on it. The Times of India Article might be a fiction, but my story and characters were real. The very next day I wrote the blog. The blog came out nicely, and even I was happy.
7 months have passed since I wrote the blog. I was checking my orkut scrapbook, and I came across this scrap :
Hi Nishad. Wish you and your family a very happy new year!
You don't know me as such. At least not directly. But it so happened that I chanced across your blog and read your piece about a gift to your mother which, as you wrote, was inspired from "My Girl" in Times of India.

Well, I wrote it :-)

Glad that you liked it and thank you for gracefully acknowledging it as an inspiration!

Aditya
P.S. Did you read any of my other pieces?

This guy Aditya had written the Article in Times of India reading which I had written my blog. Somehow he landed up reading my blog and he scrapped me with his findings. After reading his scrap, I Immediately opened my blog and searched for the blog which I had written in May. I was surprised after looking at the footnote of my blog. "*Based on a true story. Inspired by an article "My Girl" by Aditya Gupta in TOI dated 11th May, Editorial page. "
Man ! I was so sincere to give credit to the real author, and after 7 months, the same author somehow reads my blog, finds me on Orkut and scraps me a "Thank you" note for it.
That small foot note in my blog brought back my memories of that incident, and also gave a feeling of satisfaction to the real author.
This incident was really something I would call "One in a Million".
In case you were wondering what's the Blog title gotta do with the content ?

"MILL ONE ION"
One in a million

My new year resolution :-)

Nike and Apple are helping me with my new year resolution. Here's the proof !

Nike+ipod

I recently purchased one of the most awaited gadget for ipod nano- The Nike+ipod. Actually, it was launched long ago in 2006, but was made available in India recently. It costs Rs 2000 in India and is available in Nike showrooms, Thought of buying it, but finally ordered it from US thru a friend. It costs 30$ in the US. The product is quite a hifi gadget for ipod users, but the catch is, it works only with Ipod Nano. And, There's a catch from Nike too ! it fits in selected Nike Shoes. The gadget consists of a small sensor and a receiver. The sensor goes inside the shoe's sole and the receiver fits to the ipod. Thats it ! you are ready to run and track your workouts.

I had recently purchased new Reebok shoes worth 3500 rs, and I was not ready to pay more to buy those Nike+ compatible shoes. So after a little research, I found a wokaround. Instead of the sensor fitting inside the shoe's sole, It works quite accurately if it is slipped between the shoe and the shoe lace. So, along with the sensor, I order for a shoe pouch too ! It cost me 8$ and I cursed myself why did I spend 300 rs on this stupid pouch ? anyways, it is quite reliable and once you fit your sensor, you can forget about it.

So, finally i attached the shoe pouch to my reebok shoe, inserted the sensor, plugged the receiver to my ipod and I was ready. My ipod automatically detected the sensor. I got audio feedback in a female voice. This was the best part. It seems as if you are in some outer space and you are guided by someone. In addition to the audio feedback provided by a generic male or female voice (user's choice), there are pre-recorded congratulations provided by Lance Armstrong and Paula Radcliffe whenever a user achieves a personal best (such as fastest mile, fastest 5K fastest 10K, longest run yet) or reaches certain long-term milestones (such as 250 miles, 500 kilometers). This "celebrity feedback" is heard after the usual end-of-run statistics.

After I finished my run, I connected my ipod to my computer. Itunes automatically detected my run and sent the data directly to Nikeplus website. Here I got my statistics of the run, graphs, comparisons with previous runs, my position among other fellow Nikeplus runners around the world, in india, in Bangalore. Also, I downloaded a smal widget which will let you know how much I have run. It is placed in this very blog in the left hand side. There are a very few users of Nike+ipod in India, but I am sure, people who are fond of jogging/running, this one is a must have. existing ipod nano users, you have just another reason to do a workout.

I have already surrendered before this gadget.

OShO

This is a review of the movie 'Om Shanti Om' and all the views expressed are my own and are not copied from any other reviews. The review might reveal some twists/key points of the movie.

Funny title for my blog :-)

As expected, the movie is full of comedy, drama, songs, climax and happy ending. Shah Rukh as usual, is the centre of attraction and with his powers, he keeps the story moving. Deepika Padukone was simply superb. Her smile is too cute. I am already a fan of her. She has the talent, looks, shape and whatever it takes to be a successful actress in Bollywood. At any point of time I never felt that this is her debut movie of Bollywood. She has acted in a kannada Movie 'Aishwarya' which i will soon watch :-) Arjun Rampal actually did some acting. and his role was quite good. Shreyas Talpade is no doubt a good actor, and he too has kept his levels high. Kiron Kher is the mom of Shahrukh Khan and has purposefully done over acting.

Now lets go into the movie. Like everybody knows, Deepika (Shantipriya) is a well known actress in Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan (Om Prakash) is a junior artist who does small roles of Dakus, back ground dancers, etc etc. Om Prakash falls in love with Shanti, She too is impressed with Om's approach. But due to ill fate, and Villan Arjun Rampal (Mukesh Mishra) both die only to be reincarnated. This time Shah Rukh (again Om Prakash) is a super star and Deepika (Sandy) is a debutant. Om Prakash remembers every thing that happened in the past but Sandy remembers nothing. When Om Prakash is sure, he is re born, he decides to take revenge and like always, kills the villan Mukesh Mishra. There are some twists in the tale which i wont reveal.

People who have watched Karz, this movie goes on the same lines. And the ending is exactly like a old movie featuring Rishi Kapoor. My friends say, the movie is not worth getting a rating of 3.5. But I feel, the movie has everything that a common man expects in a movie. People laugh at funny dialogues, people scream at the entry of the stars, people applaude at the song which featured 31 actors. What else do you want to make a movie a hit ? At least I enjoyed the film. (I enjoy every film :-) Read my reviews of a tamil film Veerasami)

Run dahsiN Run !

In order to reduce my weight and also to keep myself fit, I go for jogging every day. I run around 3-4 kms daily. One day, one of my friend called me up and told that his company is organising a marathon this Saturday. The run was for 4 Kms and 10 Kms. I said, "Lets go for 10 Kms". Even he agreed.

Me at the Registration queue (blue shirt)

Before I start with the actual run, here is something which I request you all to read. These paragraphs are more important than the story of my 10 Km run.

If you are a software engineer, I recommend you to try and run continuously for at least 10 minutes. I've seen my friends saying its easy. And when they hit the road, they are flat in 5-6 minutes. I've also heard stories from friends saying, "I was the top football player of my school" or "I used to run 5 kms daily when in college" or "I cycled 10 Kms to the college and back every day". If you too think you have done all of this when in school, college, Think again. Try doing this today.
Getting up @ 7am, boarding a company bus at 8am coming back home at 6pm watching TV serials,movies having dinner and sleeping at 10 pm. If this is your daily routine, do you think you can still be the top football player of you company ? Do you think you can still cycle 20 kms daily ? do you think you can run 5 kms at a stretch ? You decide whether to say yes or no.
When I asked this question to myself, I got an answer -NO. I used to get tired in just 4 minutes of brisk jogging. My feet would start swelling and start giving pains. I could feel my tummy bounce when I started jogging. That's when I decided, something is not going right for my health. And this was my health condition even though I don't smoke or drink. So I decided to go out for jogging every day. This was decided in April 2007.
Today, its October 2007. 6 months have passed. As promised, I still go out for jogging everyday. Now I have the capacity of running for 10 kms without any break.
Quite a great achievement for me !
If you think 10 Kms is too less, Try this :
on an average, you can cover 1 Km in 5 minutes with a descent running speed. that makes 10 kms= 50 mins of non stop running. Go out on the road and start running. Don't stop till you get tired. when you are done, check for how many minutes you ran ? When I tried this on myself, I had run 4 mins. thats less than 1 Km !!! When you try this out for yourself, you will come to know how fit you are and 10 kms is a lot of distance. My friends and family members often called me fat, overweight, and a lot of things ! , My waist is 34, I weigh 78 Kgs, and I am 5-6 Kgs overweight than an average person with height 5-10. Now when they see me, they dont say I am fat. They say, I have become strong !

Thanks for reading that stuff. If you think the blog is too lengthy, you can skip the rest of the blog, because what's written next is all fun and I am a victim of it !

On 5th October, my friend Pritesh called me and said, the marathon run starts tomorrow at 7 am from his office gates. and his company has arranged for bus transport early in the morning to get to the office. the bus leaves at 5:30 in the morning. I said to myself, is it necessary to get up so early and go for the stupid run ? catching the bus at 5:30 meant, I had to get up at 4:30. Till 5th october night 11 pm, I was thinking whether to go for the event or not. Anyway, I set the alarm and went to sleep. I woke up before the alarm and was ready to run at 5 am. I went to the friend's house. He too was ready. (Just by looking at the enthusiasm in my friend for the marathon run, poured a lot of confidence in me.) He too was excited and we went to the bus stop.
We reached the office by 6 am. I collected my T-shirt and the registration number(which is supposed to be clipped to the T-shirt), plugged in my ipod and was ready to run. I was the 19th Registration for the 10 Km run. Pritesh was still confused whether to go for the 4 km run or the 10 Km. I met some of Pritesh's friends, some of my college friends who had turned up for the event. They were confident of running the 10 km race. So was I. I had attempted this 10 km run 1 month ago. During India-Pakistan 20-20 finals, I had a bet with my room mates, If India wins this match, I will run 10 kms the next day. And as decided, I ran the distance in 45 mins. Before the race, Pritesh was still thinking, running 10 kms is not a very good idea. he kept saying, stay with me till the end. If I fall down, there must be someone to pick me up :-)
The race was to run 5 km on the highway, take a U-turn and run 5 Kms again and finish the race inside the campus.

Me just before the start of the 10 km race. Right side corner.

The race started exactly at 7 am inside the campus. I started my stopwatch in my "Timex-Iron man" and began the run. By the time the mob exited the campus and hit the highway, I was all lost. I couldn't see Pritesh, his friends, no one ! All were dressed in the white shirts provided. There was a media van with cameramen sitting on the roof, there were photographers following us on their bikes - sitting backwards and taking snaps. people from the nearby houses had gathered in their compound/balcony to watch what's going on. There were people at regular intervals to supply water bottles. At first, I saw many people overtaking me. but withing 5 minutes, I noticed people slowing down, and puffing. I kept a constant pace. when i crossed the 1 km mark, I saw Pritesh running. Even he was slowing down. I overtook him and kept running with my pace. when I reached the 2 km mark, I saw at least 50 people ahead of me. and the current leader was at least 500 mts away from me. My aim was to complete the race without stopping. 3 kms done, I looked at my watch, i had run for 17 mins. still 7 to go. I thought this is impossible. I was tired already. But i knew, I could do it, and I had done it before. So I continued.
When I crossed the 4 Km mark, I could see the leader running back towards the office. This means, He had crossed the 5km mark and has already covered 1 km extra. which made him 2 Kms ahead of me. Man, he was an athlete. I saw many people following him. I thought, when will i get here ! I had not even completed 5 Kms. The road was made of tar and was full of ups and downs which made running even more difficult. By now some people had given up. Some people were walking on the track, and some were determined to finish the race.
I saw a group of people standing on the road. I knew this was the 5 Km mark. I hurried myself to there. One guy sprayed some liquid on me. I thought it was water, but later I noticed, My T-shirt had become Blue at he spray applied area. It was an indication that, I had completed half of the race. I was full exhausted, and as decided, I was not to drink a drop of water in the course of the run.
With my body sweating all over, I continued my drag towards the last 4 kms of the race. These 4 kms were the longest (wrt time as well as distance). By now the people ahead of me were not in a mood of quitting, and people behind me were all set to overtake me. Also the sun had started bombarding its morning sun light on my head. Now it was 3 Kms to finish, and people had started overtaking me. A female also overtook me. I was shocked ! She was determined, and was already speeding ahead. That brought some JOSH in me, and I too started running to keep pace with her. My hands were all numb, and I was unable to control my run. I could now see the company Main gate. That's where the race ends. I hurried towards the gate. During the course, I overtook the female. (And I was happy ). When I entered the gate, there was around 200 mts. of ground yet to cover. I could see the crowd cheering, the Media Van in front of me, and a few guys running along with me. I could hear the roar of people even with my ipod on. I thought I was far away from the winner, but in fact, I was one of the early finishers of the race. I just started looking at the chequered flag. even the 200 mts run was like another 10 km run.
After a long and hard time, I crossed the line, and stopped by Timex-Ironman stopwatch. It read 00:50:21. I completed the race in 50 Mins. I turned my head around, and people were clapping. It was for me ! (and others who made it till the end along with me) When I stopped, I started sweating more than when I was running. I grabbed a bottle of Pepsi-Aquafina, and went to the assembly area. People who had opted for the 4Kms race had already completed it and were down on the lawn like wounded soldiers. Even I felt like crashing down. Before that, I went to the rest room to pee. While washing my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror, and what I saw was horrible ! My face was all Black and blue ! First of all I am dark, but still i could see a blue shade on my face. I knew i had lost a lot of water from my body, and had to recover it as soon as possible. I gulped the whole aquafina bottle and joined the other wounded soldiers. By now even Pritesh had finished the race. We then did some warm up, and waited for the prize distribution ceremony.
The winner had clocked a time of 42 mins. and the next 10 to follow were in a gap of 4 mins. So for a time of 50 mins, I predicted, I was among the top 30 runners, and that's why there was all that cheering and clapping ! After all the practice for 6 months had paid off !
3700 rs Reebok shoes, 500 rs Reebok Track pant, 7000 rs ipod, 2000 rs Timex Iron man, so much money spent, all of it put for good use.

No Smoking* !

If you think passive smoking is just that - passive... think again.

There is sound scientific evidence endorsed by the World Health Organization, that passive smoking or the inhalation of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) poses a substantial threat to the health of the involuntary smoker in a similar way that active smoking affects smokers.

World Health Organization (WHO) 1999 estimates indicate that four million people, or one person every eight seconds, die globally from tobacco related disease and illness; many of these are affected through ETS.

The world’s major public health agencies have concluded that ETS is a significant hazard to the health of non-smokers. There is no known safe level of exposure to ETS; the level of ill health and death it causes is considerable as it contains over 4,000 chemical compounds, including 60 known carcinogens.

In view of similarity between ETS and Mainstream Smoke, and the considerable likelihood for exposure of non-smokers to ETS, passive smoking is potentially a substantial public health concern.

Smoking or not smoking is a choice which individuals make. I urge you to consider the next time you strike the match that you spare a thought to those who have chosen not to smoke.

The Never Ending Blog

WARNING : This post contains material NOT suitable for readers below 18 Years of age. Parental Guidance required.

This blog has nothing much to do with adult content, and does not contain any tantalising stories which people love to read (or don't want to read). This blog is just for fun and I am a victim of it.

I eat Idli's at a road side stall near my house almost 3 times a week. The wall besides the stall is a display board for various movies screening at the theatres near you. Most of them are Kannada, Tamil or Telgu, and hence I don't understand what is written. But I see a poster for a particular theatre(cannot reveal its name), always having a semi nude woman on it printed in 3 colours Red, Green, Blue and has the movie name in English. You must have guessed what kind of movie poster it is. Every educated person pretends as if he/she has never glanced at such a poster. If you have seen one, you will come to know what I am talking about. First, even I used to ignore the poster, but after a few weeks, I thought of exploring the posters every week.
Every week, the movie name and the woman's photo changed on the poster, because the movie lasted only for a week. Next week, new movie, new poster. A closer look revealed that the woman on the poster this week and the woman on the poster a few weeks back was the same, only her sexy pose and the movie name had changed. Just by this much of analysis, I can guarantee, that the story of the movie has nothing to do with its name. The name is just for the sake of giving. And the viewers also don't care what the name is :-) This sound's strange, but funny and it is the reality. So I decided to write this blog about it. I cannot put snaps of the woman, but I will keep writing the names of the movies screened at the theatre every week, and I guarantee that the list will never stop, that's why my blog is named so. The names of the movies are not in sequence in which they were played. Every week, I will update this blog with a new movie name after seeing the poster. Please don't take the blog in the wrong sense. Anyway you are going to enjoy.

Hi....... Kya chal raha hai ?

Recently I have observed a strange thing among almost all of my friends. This has never happened till last year. But this year, I see everyone is doing it. Even you must be doing the same but you must have not paid any attention to it.

I am talking about a very common, stupid, useless and meaningless question :

"Kya chal raha hai ?"

I don't know why, But now-a-days, i get really irritated when I see :
1. Someone order Paneer Butter Masala in a hotel. (read my whole blog on it.)
2. Someone calls and asks "Where are you ? " on a working day and that too in the afternoon.
3. Someone calls and in the middle of a conversation says "Aur Batao " (This is called "Aur batao syndrome")
4. People who do not finish the food served in their plates.
5. And finally, people who chat by starting with this question : "Kya chal raha hai ? "

I first thought only some people say it casually, but now I pay special attention to who says it, how many times he says it, or to how many people he said it and found out some interesting points out of my research.

After some straight forward analysis, I found out that, this happens to :
1. People who are new to chat/messengers and get excited when they see someone online.
2. People who have Internet connection and messenger on, and still find themselves sitting idle.
3. People who want to talk to their friends, but don't have any topic to discuss.
4. People who are caught in a chat discussion (which they don't want to continue) and who don't want to talk much, simply make use of this question. (Passing the ball to the other side).

If you are a victim of such a question, what answer will you give ?
Q : Kya chal raha hai ?
A : "Kuch nahi"
A : "Kaam kar raha hoon"
A : "Tum batao"


I tried very hard, but could find a stupid answer to the stupid question. Apart from these 3 answers there are hardly any replies to the question. And the interesting part is, people ask the same question every time they start a conversation. Everybody wants to ask the question, but nobody wants to answer if asked to them. Even If they answer, I bet, the answer will be among the 3 given above.

Some very similar questions which we come across are :
Q : "Hi, Whats up ? "
A : Nothing Much.

Q : "Hi, How are you ? "
A : I am fine, How are you ?

Q: "Hi, Hows Life ? "
A: Cool ! what abt you ?

Q : "So what else ? "
A : Nothing.

Q : "Kaam kaisa chal raha hai ? "
A : Thik chal raha hai.

What answers do you expect to this questions ? If you ask these questions to your friend or a total stranger, the answers are the same.

Finally, I came to a conclusion that, Typing such questions is a sign of getting bored, no topic to chat, or as I said earlier, Putting the ball on the other side. If you are doing this, please think again, do such questions make any sense ? asking once or twice is fine, but everyday the same question ?
You know the answer what you will get, you will not be amazed if he says, nothing. You know there are much important things to ask, but still you spill the same question. You know that nobody will answer "Pankha chal raha hai" or TV chal raha hai" and still you ask the same question.
So should you ask me or should I ask you "Kya chal raha hai ?"

I am on Top Gear !

I am 24 years old now. Its been 2 years I am working for a software company. After so much of work experience, people look forward for marriage, a new flat, at least a bike. I am not interested in marriage so early, i cant afford a new flat, But I can surely buy a bike, (I have assumed that i will get a 2 wheeler loan). My friends have already bought bikes, have fancy mobiles, and enjoy all other stuff that an ideal software engineer should. Even I feel like doing all these. But before thinking of anything I wish I had right now, I first think of the things which I wished I had in childhood.

Flashback :
10 June 1998

In My school days, One of my cousin had lots of small Hot Wheels cars. We both played together. He had all types of cars. Sedan, SUV, Trailer, Trucks etc. Even I dreamt of having such a collection. But My parents didn't allow me to buy them, just because they were expensive. I had a choice to buy the local made cars, but I always insisted on having the hot wheels brand. Days passed and as a grown up, I was not supposed to play with those small Hot wheels cars anymore.
My father had bought me a Hercules captain bicycle when I was in 4Th standard. I used it for 5 years. In the mean time, Father brought my elder brother a Hero Ranger MTB bicycle. I used my Hercules Captain till 9Th Standard. Until Hercules launched its latest bike : Hercules Top Gear. It was the first bike I saw with gears. It had 5 speed adjustments, and one of my friend had already bought one. in 10Th, we both went to a coaching class. Me on my Captain, and he was on his Top Gear. One day I told My father, I want Hercules Top Gear. He asked me, How much it costs ? I said 3000 rs. He straight away rejected the proposal. He said, We already have 2 bicycles. Why do we need the third one ? Practically speaking, My father was right. But I was very disappointed and angry on him. I told to myself, "Itka kay vichar karaychay tyat? 3000 rs chach tar prashna ahe, tyasathi pan baba nahi ka mhanale ? " (" Whats there to think about it so much ? Its a question of just 3000 rs. and for that why did my father say no ?" ) I had a sleepless night. I watched kids riding the Top Gear, shifting gears. My head turned whenever I saw someone riding that bike.Everyday, I used to ask my friend to give me his bike for the ride to the class and he was kind enough to lend me. Before giving me the bike, he always warned me not to shift gears unnecessarily. I was very much impressed with the gears stuff, and I would do anything for it. Even my father came to know that I was disappointed with his decision of not buying me the bicycle. So he promised me to get customised gears fitted to my elder brother's bicycle IF i scored more than 80% in the 10Th standard exam. And ultimately I did score 80.4%. My father also was happy and he promised me to get those gears fitted to my brother's bicycle. It took him 2 months to give me the money but he kept his promise. The gears cost him 750 rs. I went to a famous bicycle shop and surrendered my bicycle to him to get the gears fitted. (By now my elder brother was doing engineering and no longer used his bicycle, so I will assume that his bike is now mine. And my Hercules captain is taken by my grandfather, and he paid me 500 rs for it !) I stood there all day long watching the mechanic dismantle my bicycle and making space to get the gears fitted. During that course of time, I saw kids entering the shop with their parents and buying the bicycle of their choice, a couple of them bought Hercules Top Gear, while most of them even after liking top gear, were forced to buy a different orthodox bicycle. At the end of the day, the gears were in place, and I went home happily changing gears. I used the Bike for 4 more years till the 3rd year of my engineering. I took utmost care of that bicycle.

Back to the Present :
8 June 2007

Its almost 9 years now After I cried for the Hercules Top Gear. One day I had a thought, I can afford a new bicycle. Why not buy a new one ? My room mates straightaway laughed at me. I told my mom, I am buying a new Bicycle. She thought for a while, but said yes. And above that, she said, Buy a nice one.
I was very happy. I checked my bank account, and was happy that I could afford a bicycle straight away. I went to the bicycle shop. And told me to show me bicycles with gears. He showed me Hercules Top Gear, and many other Bicycles. in 9 years, there were many models to choose from. He also showed me a full Aluminium body bicycle. It cost 7500 rs. I had the capacity to buy it but, I still felt it was too costly. I had a second thought on my statement made 9 years ago " Its a question of just 3000 rs" Now I realised, My father was absolutely right. And 3000 rs was not JUST 3000 rs. And why it took him 2 months to gather 750 rs just for my silly promise. Finally I selected a good looking 18 speed Aluminium Wheels, Alloy Body bicycle : Hercules Omega. I was Happy, My room mates still couldn't believe I am buying a bicycle worth 4000 rs.
I did the payments, and drove back home on my new Bicycle. When I reached home, kids in the neighbourhood gathered around me and started staring at the new bicycle. 9 years ago I was one of such kids staring at someone Else's Hercules Top Gear. Maybe the Bike I just bought is the dream bike of every kid of this generation. I proudly parked the Bike and went inside my house. Within few minutes, the kids came to me and started asking for a ride. This time I gave them the keys and told, " Don't Shift gears unnecessarily "
No doubt, it took me 9 years to fulfill my unforgotten 9 year old dream, but it has also made me a proud owner of the dream bicycle of every kid in the block today.I called up mom and told her about my purchase. She was very happy. But still she said," Why didn't you buy the 7500 rs bike ? " I told her 3500 rs is too much to add to my 4000 rs bicycle. I wish I could tell my father about the lessons I learnt today and thank him for all the things he did for me. Now since I own a bicycle, with its regular use, I will be helping the environment by saving some flue gasses which would have been emitted if I had bought a motorbike. I will be saving some amount of money which I spent on auto rickshaw. I will be benefiting myself by having a exercise. And hopefully I will be an inspiration for the people who loved their childhood bicycles more than their present motorbikes.

My new Hercules Omega

P.S. I still keep buying Hot Wheels cars too !

A tale of every restaurant.

Recently I noticed something strange through which I go almost everytime I visit a restaurant. And now I have started to hate it. I have noticed this when I go with my college friends, Team mates, or even relatives. I am sure even you have gone through this, but have never noticed, or have simply ignored the fact. What I am talking about is a regular day when you go out for lunch / Dinner, just because you are "bored" of homely food and want a change.
I will take the blame on myself and become the person who delivers the regular dialogues and continue with the tale, you can link it with your experiences in a restaurant. I will keep the conversation limited to two people, so that it becomes easier for me to write the tale. And I will mention only the vegetarian dishes which are served in every hotel.

The decision :
Amar : Khana khane kahan jaana hai be ? (Where to go for lunch?)
Nishad : Kahin bhi, tu bata. (Anywhere, you tell.)
Amar : Best foods ?
Nishad : Nahi yaar, wahan ki roti achhi nahi hoti. (No yaar, their rotis are not good )
Amar : To bata na kahan jaana hai ! ( Then tell naa where to go ? )
Nishad : kahin bhi, but not Best foods. (Anywhere but no best foods.)
Amar : Kya khana hai ? (What do you want to eat ? )
Nishad : Kuch bhi. (Anything.)
Amar : Chal Shiv Sagar chalte hain. ( Lets go to Shiv Sagar )
Nishad : Ok.
And rest of the friends also agree to the decision. Frankly, almost everybody have no problems with which hotel we go in but still someone argues about the hotel when given an option, as someone rightly said, Opinions are like A**holes, Everybody has one.

So we go to Shivsagar.
The Menucard is placed.

Starters : Amar : Kya order karna hai ? (What to order ? )
Nishad : Kuch bhi. (Anything )
Amar : Soup peena hai ? (anybody wants soup ? )
Nishad : Nahi yaar. (No please ) (Others also say no to Soup)
Amar : Main ek Veg Manchow soup loonga. ( I will have one Manchow soup)
Nishad : One by two karna. (Make it one by two.) (And the rest also order soup)

Everybodyb wants to have soup / starters, but they simply wait for someone to take initiative, till then, they keep saying NO.
In every restaurant visit, When it comes to placing an order, only 1 or two people take the responsibility of ordering food. Nobody is firm on what to order except for one or two.The rest are, "Kuch bhi"
First they say no to soup / Starters, and when one of them takes, the rest follows.
The only orders : Veg Manchow Soup / Tomato Soup
or Gobi Manchurian / Veg Manchurian for starters.
Even though the menu card shows a veriety of other dishes.

The soup is served, everybody is happily drinking the soup, spoon by spoon.
someone raises a point in between,
"Abe main course order karte hain. " (Lets order the main course)
In between, the main course is ordered.
Amar : Kaunsi sabzi maangani hai ? (Which curry to order ? )
Nishad : Kya kya milta hai ? (What's served here ? )
Actually, everybody is aware of what is served and what is not in every hotel, except for some special dishes. But still, " Kya kya milta hai yahan ? "
Nishad glances through the menu card, and says, " Paneer Butter Masala ? "
One of us says Ok.
Another says, " Abe panner nahi be. Hamesha paneer hi khate hain " (No Paneer please, we eat it everytime. )
"To kya ? " (Then what ? )
"Dusra kuch bhi." (Anything other than that.)
"Ek sweet aur ek Spicy sabzi maangate hain" (we will order one sweet and one spicy curry)
After a lot of opinion mismatches, we order :
" Ek Paneer Butter Masala , Ek Veg kadhai, Ek dal fry"

Every order contains only:
Paneer Butter Masala / Paneer Tikka Masala
Veg Hyderabadi / Veg Kadhai / Veg Handi and a Dal Fry is a Must.

I haven't seen anybody order Aloo gobi, or Baingan ka bharta in a hotel.
While ordering rotis, nobody has a single opinion on whether to order a roti / naan / Kulcha .
out of 4 people,
First : Plain Roti
Second : Butter Kulcha
Third : Main bhi Plan Roti.
Fourth : Butter Naan.

This is enough for the waiter to get confused what to get for whom.

The soup is finished and everyone is waiting for the main course. And 6 times out of 10, everybody feels that the waiter is taking a lot of time to serve.
Finally the food arrives. The waiter serves the food in everybody's plate.
everybody gets their roti/kulcha/naan.

When the roti is about to finish,
Amar : Kisi ko ek aur roti chahiye ? (Anybody wants extra roti ? )
Nishad : Muzhe ek.
Amar : Aadhi aadhi lenge kya ? (Shall we take half each ? )

While ordering the next roti, there is always a Yes/no- Yes/No. Finally everybody order roti / naan.
Every roti orderd the second time, always takes 10-15 minutes.
By that time, everybody keeps playing with the curry in the plate, or with the onion salad which we get as a compliment.
Nishad : Kya yaar, kitna late kar raha hai. (What the hell, how much time he is taking )
Amar : Wohi to. Khana thanda ho raha hai. (Even the food is getting cold )

Actually, The food gets cold in the 5th minute from when it is served. But still, for the sake of saying , "Khana thanda ho raha hai"

Roti Arrives, everybody finishes it. Always some curry is left.
Amar : Rice order karna hai kya ? (Shall we order rice ? )
Nishad : Nahi yaar, pet bhar gaya. (No , stomach is full)
Amar : muzhe khana hai, Kisi aur ko chahiye ? (I want to eat, anybody else ? )

The third and 4th also agree. and finally we order
"2 Veg Fried rice"
There are at least 10 vareties of rice available, but still we order :
Veg Fried rice / Ghee rice / Jeera Rice.

Rice arrives,
It is served to everyone (Including Nishad) Saying my stomach is full is just for the sake of saying something. Everybody finishes their rice.
And finally if you observe everybody's plate, you will notice that, for someone, the curry served was insufficient. Someone has a lot of leftover in his plate. Someone has carefully seperated the chillies and capsicum from the curries.
The bill is paid, and at least 10-15 rs of Tip is given to the waiter.
Everybody exits the hotel, and say " Khana sahi tha !"

The dialogues mentioned in the above story are exactly the same whenever I go out with my friends. The same incidents occur everytime, regardless of the people accompanying me. I am tired of this stuff. I am no more ordering the same things again in any hotel.

Dumbstruck !!

Last week, my company threw a grand party at a grand hotel. There were almost 2000 employees enjoying the party. Big food stalls, DJ, Whiskey, Wine, and everything which an employee would like which if served for FREE. I reached the venue a bit late just to find out that most of my friends had already finished 2 pegs and some starters. I quietly took a glass of sprite and stood with them. Within 5 minutes, we all decided to hit the dance floor. Of course people like dancing when they are drunk. We danced till we were soaked with sweat. Fearing that the food will get over, we quickly went to the buffet stall. I had just finished my diet plans and had lost 4 kg in 4 days. The hardest 4 days of my life. And today, I was pretty sure that I will finish a whole chicken today. But donno why, I couldn't eat more than 2 chicken pieces that day. Maybe, I had really lost the taste of chicken after eating watermelon, tomatoes, bananas for the whole week.
After dinner I was chatting with one of my friend, and suddenly a girl past me. I just glanced at her, But she was continuously looking at me. She took me by surprise, Even I stared at her wondering why she was looking at me like that. She was walking forward but was looking behind at me, and was smiling. On her way she dashed someone, but still she continued looking at me. In the mean time, I tried to recollect whether I knew her or not. Many thoughts raced through my mind.
1. Did we both joined the company together ? No.
2. Is she from my college ? No.
3. Am I looking so funny in this dress ? Maybe.
4. Is there some object sticking to my face and I am unaware ? No.
5. Did someone mix Vodka in my Sprite ? No.
6. Is she drunk ? Cant tell.
7. Is this Love at first sight ? Never happened to me till now.

By now even I was staring badly at her, I don't know what she was thinking about me, but in my whole life no girl had ever stared at me for so long.

Finally she broke the silence. She said, " Areee wisarlas kai ? Jaadu ? "(Hey, u forgot ? Magic ?)
Suddenly the thoughts broke down. Now I remembered who she was. One day my room mate had invited his friends to our house. Since my roomie is also greatly impressed by my magic tricks, He had requested me to perform in front of his friends, and she was one of them. I had performed one of the greatest tricks I knew on her. I remembered her face, but today, She was looking different. More charming than the day when I performed the tricks. I laughed at myself and my stupid thoughts. (especially Thought #6 and #7) Anyways, Felt great knowing that I have a fan following too :-)

2 diet 2 quiet

As promised in the last post I have restarted the diet schedule.
On day 1 itself I lost 1.5 Kgs. Thanks to watermelon.
On day 2 I lost 1 Kg. Thanks to cucumber and Tomato.
So in all 2.5 Kgs lost in just 2 days. Looks easy to read. But is Hard to achieve. Especially when your room mates bring potato wafers at home and start eating it. Or tell stories of what they ate for breakfast and lunch. Eating a full grilled chicken is a lot easier than not eating at all. I knew my eating abilities, How much I can eat, but this has proved that, Not only I can eat more than a normal person, but also I can eat very less than a normal person too !

People are getting confused, I keep getting advices :
1. You will lose 5 kgs in 1 week, and in 2 days you will gain 5 Kgs again.
2. The only thing that can restrict your weight is having limited food.
3. Eat only when you are hungry. (I say, I am always hungry)
4. Dont do a diet, I like the way you are :-)
5. Stop eating Non Veg.
6. What weight loss ? You still look the same.
7. Lets see, If the program works on you, I will do it in next week.

Day 3 has also gone smoothly. I felt some weakness, but its Ok.
The hardest part is Day 4. Only Bananas and Milk. donno how I will perform there !

Diet till you are quiet

Recently One of my friend told me about a brilliant diet plan recommended by General Motors. They claim that you will lose 5 kgs in 7 days if followed correctly. I told him to forward me the diet plan. I immediately took a print of it and started reading it. This one was not like the other plans where they advice not to eat this, not to drink that, eat this in limited quantities etc etc.
Before I proceed, let me tell you something about me and why I Opted for this diet plan.
Height : 5 Foot 10 Inches.
Weight : 83 Kgs (Recommended weight for that height is 72-75 Kgs )
Waist : 34 Inches.
Daily Intake of food :
Breakfast : At least 5 Idlis + Coconut water.
Lunch : 6 Rotis(Small size) + Rice. OR A banana leaf full of rice + Andhra style accompaniments.
Dinner : 3/4 Rotis (Big ones) + Rice. And a fruit Juice.

Chicken every weekend.

Some great achievements :
1: 10 Jowar Rotis (We call them Bhakri) + rice and other accompaniments in one meal.
2: Two Consecutive lunches on the same day.
3: Eating 1 roti without breaking it.
4: Eating a full 3 Kg watermelon at one go.
5: 5 Masala dosas in Breakfast.
6: 13 Idlis in Breakfast.
7: 2 Chicken Biryanis for Lunch.
8: 1 Full Grilled Chicken for Dinner.
9: Nick named "Tanker" for my eating abilities.

Now after having so much of food everyday, who wont get fat ?
And for someone who loves food so much, how will a diet plan work ?

This Diet plan consisted of having selected food items each day, and the best thing was, You have no limit on how much you eat ! Also, on day 6 of the plan, they recommend to eat meat and white wine ! Even if I don't drink, eating chicken and still losing weight fascinated me.
So I made up my mind, From tomorrow, the diet starts. Since from tomorrow, I will be abstained from junk food, I thought why not enjoy the most today ?
So I ate 1 Plate Onion Bhajji, 1 Plate Mirchi Bhajji, 1 packet Bingo-Mad Angles, and at last had a regular Dinner. I had also brought 2 pomegranates, 1 watermelon and some Mangoes to inaugurate the Diet's Day 1.

Day One : All fruits except Bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of Melons the first day. Especially Watermelon and a Cantaloupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to Melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

I will lose 1 Kg in the first day ! Wow !! This is cool ! Straight away I cut the watermelon, and started eating it. I finished half of it and saved the rest for Lunch. I was smiling as my room mates looked at me in astonishment. I simply ignored them and went to the office. While going to the office, I could feel that I have already lost weight. So I weight myself on the way. Unfortunately, I was still 83 Kg. :x
In office, For the first hour, I was merrily working, But later I started feeling hungry. So much of watermelon where did it go ? Why am I feeling hungry now ? The thought of going back home and again having a watermelon made me sick. As in bad times, good news comes in the form of lightning, for me, Good news came in the form of an SMS.
Our everyday dinner tiffin is supplied by a Marathi aunty. She had messaged me that today she will be serving Egg curry. "How many tiffins do you need ?"
What a sigh of relief ! I immediately replied 3 tiffins ! Called up me roomie and said,
"DIET CANCEL. Kaku serving Egg curry today. Lets go to Krishna Chinai and have rice meals and celebrate !"
My heart was saying, " What are you doing ? you are spoiling your diet plan !" But my stomach said, " Rice, sambhar, rassam, drum sticks, chutney, buttermilk, Yummy." We met at Hotel Krishna Chinai. My roomie was laughing at me, but when the meals were served we both kept quiet and started eating it greedily. No limits to how much we eat. like me, my roomie is also famous for his eating habits. The lunch was heavy and was exactly the opposite of what the diet plan had suggested me not to eat. But who cares ? My stomach is happy.
After eating I realised what a mistake I had done. And this was not the first time, I have done the same mistakes many times, so it didn't hurt me too !
In the evening, I had dinner, Sooo tasty egg curry !!, ate the rest of the watermelon, and pomegranate. I finished everything and gave a good BURP !!! My room mates still laughing at me, and me too laughing with my head down.
And that was the end of day 1.

To sum up,
Morning I weighed 83 Kgs. I ate 1.5 Kgs of watermelon as breakfast, at least 1 Kg worth lunch. 0.6 of dinner, 0.5 Kg of watermelon. I didn't even dare to weigh myself again.
According to the plan, I was supposed to lose 1 Kg weight, But ended up gaining at least 1.5 Kgs of weight. And the greed for diet isn't over yet. I told my room mates, "Forget today. I will start the diet from Tomorrow :-)"

My Happy Lady

That day I was very happy. I had booked my tickets. It was a long time since I had not met her. While going Back home, I thought of Buying her some gift. I Entered BIG BAZAAR and started searching for a perfect gift. I roamed around the floors of the mall until I found the perfect gift for her. I knew she would be very happy when she get this gift. I thought of packing the gift, but there was a huge queue for billing, so I decided to give it as it is to her. It was Monday, and my bus was on friday. I couldnt wait till friday. This time, I had taken a long vacation, so that I can spend more time with her. We talk on cellphones every day. Talk of things we would do together when I meet her. Nice restaurants, Movies in Multiplex, shopping etc etc. I have never spent so much of money on any girl except her. Why not spend on her ? She is the only girl in my life. She has been knowing me since my childhood, We shared every little thing and knew each other through and through. Yes, we had had a few squabbles and days when we wouldn’t speak to each other but hey, what’s a good relationship without a fight or two? Though i was often charmed by other pretty faces i always came back to my one and only love. Even she enquired about any other girl in my life, And I truthfully said, "No one except You, My Dear"
Friday came, I had packed my bags, without forgetting, I put her gift in my bag, and went to the bus stand. When the bus was about to leave, I called her and said, " Be ready, I have a surprise for you." She got excited about what I had bought for her, Infact, she told me that she has a surprise gift for me too ! The next morning, she called me to know my whereabouts. I was just 1 hour away from meeting her. When the bus entered the bus stand, I took an auto and went straight to her house. She was eagerly waiting in the balcony for my arrival. I got down from the auto and looked straight towards her,I saw the smile on her face. Even I couldn't refrain myself from smiling. I ran up the staircase, and entered the house, dropped the luggage on the floor, removed her gift from the bag and presented it to her. I knew she would be happy seeing the gift. "The Times Of India Sudoku Book Vol. 1" She had been searching for this book since last month. "This is the loveliest surprise ever" she said. "I will get Vol. 2,3 and 4 on your Birthday", I said.
As promised, She too had an surprise for me, She went inside her room, and brought a slim box from her cupboard. I opened it, and was very happy see a set of 6 pure cotton handkerchiefs in it. "I badly needed them" I told her. We had a lot of things to talk, had a lot of time too ! And, balcony was the place where we spent most our our time chatting. So I straight away took two chairs and headed to the balcony with her, she whom i had loved every second of my life. My mother.
