Friday a.k.a free(dom) day which brings the reminiscences of TGI Friday(Thanks God Its Friday)...was dull and wellingtons' any time rain was another add-in to the already boring friday to make it more boring. Max you can do was like get your beer and enjoy your evening with movies.
It wouldnt have been a surprise if my saturday would have been much the same but it wasnt meant to be. Rather we had a pleasant bonding session with my room mates ( every one should know i am a very friendly person ...:P) though this had to happen over some beers which i had managed to carry over on the way despite the rain..
We laughed over out past few weeks how we had maintained distance between ourselves thinking some one would break the ice.If not that we had the ice breaker "RUGBY" come in middle of the discussion which happens to be national game of the country. We actually learnt how it is played and better now all of us atleast know the points systems and foul scenarios :P...
To add to it the next day's match had to be the All Blacks v\s australia ( the number 2 team versus the number 1 team ) which added to our excitement..(as goes the saying when in rome do as the romans do...so in NZ go the way all blacks go....Plus they are the source of inspiration for drinking...
I wasnt that high but some how i managed to sleep off infront of the TV and the next moment i realise it was the next day which was shining on my face( as i had not closed the screens...) But as the saying goes...a lazy person can acheive anything when his laziness is challenged. I didnt pull the screens rather pulled an extra sheet over myself to actually keep the shinning sun from tanning my already tanned skin...Doesnt it know already tanned persons don't like the extra bit.
It was the day when we were supposed to go the diwali mela being organised here in one of the big auditoriums here ...I along with the flat mates decided to pay a visit. Back of my mind I had an idea that it will be boring only ...Yeah to some extent but it was fun too...It felt nice when i had my whole heart-ed laughs at some of the performances which were so humourous you might not have had laughed at priyadarshan's movie even...There was this bollywood singing item where the singer literally sang worse than the our college folks who sing after drinking. But i do admire his courage for atleast being able to stand up on the stage and do so... The highlight of the show was the belly dancing which was performed by not one of the sleak-est dancers but they were really voluptuous figure...I was just amazed how they could move their body in such a fashion ..( it is really a compliment).....the only serious part was the history saga by some marathi stage folks who depicted Shivaji's triumph over Mohd. Afzal... ( just in case i might require it in the KBC seat if i ever make it ...
Thats not the end to the week yet rather that was a start when we all sat down for that excellent 80 minutes of play by the all blacks....The adrenaline running and the beer trying to settle it down gave a much better feeling. Finally i realized how much i liked rugby ...not that much to play that game and break my some part of the body...
But finally i had spent my weekend enjoying...hopefully rest of the weekends be like this...But sadly the rugby world cup gets over next week with the finals between mighty All Blacks versus the un-predictable french...

Finally Revived...
I am stuck in my first ever on site--- for those who might be new to my work culture ....i have been on site for last of my 2.5 years working in gurgaon and noida but was on client's site...till date i haven't seen the office that dispenses my salary every 25-30th of the month.
Ne way after loads of luck and persuasion and hard dimag ( "reck language ") going into into here I am in New zealand probably known as "Aotearoa" in this part of the world.
But i am kind of not liking the sudden change from the fast paced life in India to the slow moving life in here. Here in normal week days shops close in early ...seems like every day i walk into a grave yard after 7 in the evening. The roads are so clean ...people tend to walk barefoot here ..In India if u walk barefoot ..people think either u are a beggar or u are out of ur mind to try that stint over there...
In India i loved the people who after drinking could talk on ne topic be it from anna hazare's strike to Raza's 2G scam to anything that u can throw at them..But here on weekdays people dont have time to talk to you....let alone to share a drink in a common place....These are kinda life for me as of now...May be i have grown or i was left behinf when the world cliamed itself to have gone forward.
Good things the weather ...bloody cool and i havent broken a sweat till date ..despite runnign 5-6 kms a day when the weather permits it and walking 2 kms back and forth to my office.
To sum it up i miss my India...This might be my first and last on site ...I hate living in some place so long ..haan but NZ as a visiting place is great of some on wants to visit it for holidaying ..u are always invited ...
cya ...........

Friendship : whats the value ????
Today i was in a mood to drink cos i was released from work early rather i felt the need to go home rather than to stay and work. All this resulted cos last few days i have been in the company of a guy who was a childhood friend...(mf) he was my school friend..Last 4 days i felt how much i missed my school life except the drinking and smoking part i guess..( though i was a good boy then )
I hoped that how better would it have been if we havent left school and then college and then meet some friends who call themselves friends but are so called contacts who only utilize u till their motive is realized...
Out of my last 4 days i was with my friend i hardly felt the time ..cos i didnt care about my job which is a just a routine work rather i still remember those times when we drank to our hilt together rather drank the whole night together talking about our lives ( guess we have grown old)...but we can still could have had a lot of fun earlier ;)..
Thats what is called friendship ...u wont realise when u are in around with those folks ....rather u ll miss those times when u are alone... rather when i am with those so called contacts i feel what is their problem if those contacts could just be friends.............

The weeks that werent
The title was inspired by the show hosted by cyrus brocha....in one of my favourite news channel...
This was 31st december 2009.... People were hoping for a good new year even i was in the queue..But what i was in for was a shock ...1st Jan was my last holiday that i got to spend in my room..Rest right now i had straight over 2 months without holiday ( not even saturday/sunday)
There are pros or cons to every job...last two months my schedule was wake up ...no breakfast (not as if i had a breakfast every day) But when i signed in for the job i didnt have any clue how back breaking it could have been/ Rather i would say we should not jump out of turn to prove ourselves..which i did in proving to the bosses that i understood the end to end implementation of the project... and it all started from there.Even a simple java null exception was redirected to me for am analysis.All the guys in the team started treating me a decoy to hide their mistakes...They were late because i hadnt done the analysis...Good Lord u have got a God gifted brain ...start using it...dont do the stereotype work and find some one to blame for it.
End result being i had to sit down for long hours without having have a purpose in the office....just to make sure everything is going on smoothly...Even my landlord was shocked saying i have made a record of 10 electricity units for the whole month....see i save electricity ..contribution to mother nature noted....
Finally i have done my share of work and was finally relieved from the project for a week( hopefully my cell wont buzz with some office call)... My habit has changed so much that despite the fact i am travelling....somewhere in middle of UP..there isnt a hint of sleep in them. To get rid of the bore dom i am blogging right now...even reading up some blogs ..cricinfo was best pal for the night ...

Republic day ..2010
After a long time i guess i woke in time to see the republic day parade...or might be that the parade started a little late i guess.The sense of pride of being an Indian got into me for a moment i guess seeing the tanks and mammoth bikers (though i couldnt make out who the riders were..) and tricolors painted in the sky by the MIGs and the rocket launcher which can launch 40-50 rockets in less than 18 secs...and many more...I hope i had to make up for not being able to watch the navy exercise couple of days back which was taking place in chennai...
This time it seems the president was supposed to distribute the padma awards with the bravery and the army medals...On top of it there were 6 sports personalities in the list if i hadnt heard the news wrong...though late but the govt is awakening to the need of inspiring sports in India. Despite all the bright side when i changed to another news channel i see the news of pak violating ceasefire...bloody they are so jihadi that the cold chilly winds are not able to stop them...guess if they used the same zeal they their country could progressed a lot in these odd sixty years...ne way chuck that if i start worryin about them i wont be able to think of how i could contribute to my own country 's progress...
Saying that i thut how could i contribute to it....Then i decided to take a big step...i decided to go to the mall putting aside the fear that who knows who might have thut of making us scape goat ...
to his zihadi dreams... See I took a bold step...so go out and celebrate the republic day the same way as christmas or ne year...For a change try crackers and dont get mistaken for blowing a bomb...

Merrrrrrrry Chirstmas
This chirstmas i was supposed to be in Kerala with Mr... sorry Lt.Ritesh Kumar Parida a.k.a da...da not dada...but as we say only lucky people get to see the eccentric beauty of India as i wasnt one of them..All i could do was watch Avatar 3d and 3 idiots as i had to go office the next day..
I was busy planning my schedule and options for 25th december weekend...First was a nice offer to move to kerala and the other was to visit bbsr as all the school friends were on holiday and were expecting me without taking into account how busy i could be{ dammit no one thinks i can be that work-o-holic} ...people take it for granted that i am vella :P .Ne way since i was out of options i could only think of spending a day's holiday in that weekend.
Atlast my saviour ( anonymous friend )came along and we went for the avatar 3D version.The movie was one of the best animation movie and action sequence that had been put together for a long time now( that too 3D). The hilarious part was she had worn her glasses and she kept asking me how could she manage both of the glasses at once...to which i started my zeher of the old physics formula of 1/f=1/f1+1/f2 and tried to add some humour to her situation....The movie was awesome so ok...The second movie was in line which i hadn't anticipated.
When i returned home some one was in bad mood as she had built of the idea that i had ruined her weekend and christmas plans by going with my anonymous plans...
So pjs apart i was in for lot of bashing...so guys keep ur friends at bay when u have a girlfriend waiting outside ur room ..thats the lesson i learnt..Ne way all i had to do was to promise to take her to avatar show yet again and 3 idiots for that night... i guess i could have saved around 4-5 grand if i had applied some normal logic.Ne way as it goes 3 idiots went good enuf to end my chirstmas which i could call merry...despite the emotional atayachar that took place in between ..
In the end whatever ends well is well...
