life i$ calling where r u .....

boy'o'boy. What a comeback ! Going against Gravity ;)

30th June 2006, somewhere deep within I had the intuitions @ good things coming my way.
first I could catch the company bus on time (lol this is also one of the rare phenomenon ;) jus kiddin) but lotsa good things happening since last week. looks like life has taken a U turn.

well this graph is @ NSE index.... hehehe, no no I haven't invested all my savings in stock n I don't _solely_ depend on it ;)
but (the myth:) somehow I have seen the NSE index n the graph of my life go hand-in-hand (the fact: just couple of coincidences but in short period) so if you need a foreword @ nse index consult me @ the happenings in my life .... hahahaha

also got an opportunity to work on TIBCO Businesswork. we are migrating from TIBCO IM to Businessworks. I always wanted to be part of this but was not till yday :)

such a perfect way to end the week/month. Wow I can hear some $$$$ sound in my bank ;)
ye got all arrears n my first sal after the raise :D

12 days to go b4 Piyush (1 of my best friend) lands here :) the countdown begins. he'll b in pune though, we'll meet on weekends prob.

worldcup is getting better n better every day. unfortunately argentina is out :( They are great players. I liked them because of their teamwork n selflessness. Its like no1 is a star but at the same time every1 is :) other teams majorly depend on their star players. I feel pity @ the star players when others fail to support them :) and thats where argentina had the plus side. Nonetheless all the penalties (by germans) were on target. It was a damn good match.
Well if you have missed the action, you can watch all the goals scored so far in the FIFA Worldcup 2006 here

last but not the least .... rains have started to pour in n looks like we'll get some holidays this year as well. it happens only in india ;) ... lol

life is a rOLLerCOAster ......

at last some good times in my life. got my first raise :) it feels good however sad increment might be lol :D

i had been to dapoli last sat sun with ncst friends ... it was amazing experience .... we had BLAST.
well that is pretty much clear from the flickr stream "dapoli_apnasistgang" tag.

we were 10 of us (ijoe, cjoe, me, deepak, ketan, rashna, sanju, puja, poonam, megha) . we had hired 1 qualis n cjoe got his car. we had planned to leave at 6:30 am but we started off late as usual @ arnd 8 am n the latecomers were none other than me ijoe n cjoe.
we enjoyed the journey as well. we took few wrong turns, paid tolls in wrong places :)) but we enjoyed every single moment of the picnic. all the married couples, deepak and spinsters were in qualis n myself ijoe n cjoe were in alto (cjoe's car). we used to stop almost anywhere we felt like. after few stops the qualis people gave up waiting on us :)) we also visited some cave like structure on the way where we enjoyed a small treck. finally we reached dapoli at around 2:30- 3 pm. had our lunch, took some rest and then we left for murud beach. the water was bit mirky there. but still we had fun. then after some photo session we came back to our hotel (actually it was a bunglow). unfortunately those who arrived first didn't have the keys so they had to perform some stunt, like entering through the window and then opening the backdoor for others to get in :))

after that everyone took a shower n then there was wining n dining program ;)
after the dinner we played cards for a while n then 4 of us (ijoe cjoe me n deepk) went for a nightwalk n we were roaming around till 1 am we also shot some snaps, tried to capture all ghostly images ;) we could have roam around whole night but ijoe didn't want to miss argentina's match so we came back
next day we had planned to visit kelshi beach which was supposed to have white sand. we planned to leave early morning but could not get up till 8 am ... then we did some creative photo sessions n finally we left the place after taking the breakfast at around 10 am. after longgggggggg 2-3 hrs of journey we reached kelshi n there was no white sand at all in fact there was no sand at all .... hardly any. also the water was total give up so we decided to return to the base. of course i was the 1 to blame ;) so they even tried to put me into that dirty water ;) but im da superman. 1 vs 4 :)) but still they cudn succeed :D

while coming back we found one more beach which was much cleaner n was really good. so we took a halt and statred playing there ..... the beach was lil risky so we din go much deep. but even the knee-deep water was having great force to bring us down. but we had fun ..... in fact that was the best time we enoyed during the picnic. after some time we left as we were gettin late and wanted to avoid the night travel. we took another halt on the way on other beach .... actually we got down to enjoy the rains but there was a beach nearby but other gangmembers controlled us not to enter the beach again as they knew it'd take arnd an hour to get out of there :)) but rains n beach is an awesome combination :) though some people dun like the idea, i'd say "try it to beilive it"

finally we reached our place at 3 pm we had quick lunch (i was the last 1 to get up as usual ;) )
we left dapoli at 4 pm and started our journey to home.
on da way we took a halt at some waterfall, took few snaps. all the alto ppl became Himesh Reshmia's fan as every 2nd song on the radio was by him. we also took a snap in his pose ;)
in short it was the best picnic ever for me. i'm sure it holds for others as well :) yes we missed all those who cudn make it (prashant, swati, priya, dheeraj, sagar, devu, vikram n their respective soulmates ;) ), they better not give any excuses for next event.

the climate was awesome there. the clouds, grass , flowers, everything was so colorful and beautiful. in dapoli u'll feel like its hill station but at the same time u can enjoy the sea-shore.
and yes still i haven't seen dabhol power plant, the white sand beach and the doplhins yet. these are sufficient reasons to make a 3rd visit there ;)

all the credit goes to poonam for organising things in such a short time n of course the credit for idea goes to me ;)

3 cheers to dapoli n the apnasistgang.

time is money ....

this is what we learn since our childhood but i have realised time is much more than money
money once spent can always be earned back but time spent is gone forever and will never come back.
the worst part is most of the times people (including me) realise it only when it is too late and unfortunately the history repeats itself over and over.
so stop wasting time coz every single moment is important. your future relies on how you act now.
well these are very simple things in life and we all are very much aware of it but ever wondered why we always overlook it.

watching the sun go down ....

as i write this, i recall the first line of my last blog entry ... i've got the answer..... do i need to say anything anymore.....

well this week was going good initially but things got screwed in the later part. somehow i had strong feelings that things were goin wrong but was just waiting to see it come true ... did i really have any choice ?

its similar to watching the sun go down. in your life you'll come across many situations where you will feel the pain of watching things coming to an end.... but when there's sunset on this side there's a sunrise on the other and always remember that the sun will rise once again ..... and thats wot life is all about ... welcome to the real world.
but then there are also eclipse like conditions which are more temporary in nature.... was it an eclipse or a sunset ? .... only time will tell my friend.
wow such a creative pain im going thru :)

yes finally i got my (right thumb) nail removed .... it was painful .... but as the new 1 was coming had 2 get rid of this ..... for those of who didn't know ... it was hurt arnd 1.5 mnths back in some stupid accident and got worse over time.

agar nail tuta to itna dard, socho agar dil tute to kya ho ;)
