Zindagi Le Ke Aayehe Hai Beete Din Ki Kitaab(2)
Ghere Hain Ab Humein Yaadein Be-Hisab
Bin Poochhe Mile Mujhe Kitne Sare Jawab
Chaha Tha Kya, Paya Hai Kya, Humne Dekhiye
Dil Mein Magar Jalte Rahe, Chaahat Ke Diye
Tere Liye, Tere Liye

Kya Kahoon Duniyaa Ne Kiya, Mujh Se Kaisa Bair(2)
Hukm Tha..? Main Jiyun Lekin Tere Baghair
Naadaan Hai Woh Kahte Hain Jo Mere Liyeh Tum Ho Ghair
Kitne Sitam Humpe Sanam Logon Ne Kiye
Dil Mein Magar Jalte Rahe, Chahat Ke Diye
Tere Liye, Tere Liye

Tere Liye...Chahat Ke Diye
Tere Liye, Tere Liye...(4)

Days/People which/who changed my life for ever

Days/People which/who changed my life for ever:

1. Way back in 1984 (really cannot remember), when me was in LKG (the system was and is like -nursery, lkg, ukg and then into class1 for primary school),my parents felt that me was too intelligent (was I?) anddid not want me to waste one full year in UKG (upper kindergarden, I hope i am correct), instead me couldgo directly to primary school. So they scouted around a few schools and finally one school accepted thisjump and took me in for class 1. Me really do not remember what me did in class 1 other than that theschool building is located around 2+ kms from my house. It was long long distance for an young boy totravel in those days!! So come next year 1985, parents move me to another school near to my house. From then on, itsbeen the same road, i travel pretty much everyday. This school is just a 2 or 3 minute walk from home. Me must sayme was lucky to get this.

2. My parents..................

3. My dear dear friends who have shaped me till date and continue to do so for the good or worse. Majority being good.I am a person like this today mostly due to what my friends have made me.... yes both good and bad.. rather the bad part being more due to myself and my thinking.. Me can blame situations.... yes, they indeed played a part.

4. 1 ill fated day in 1995, sometime in august.. got dumped (rather rejected) from a person whom me liked very much.Me loved this person very very much.... still got a softcorner for her....... me could also attribute my currentstate to this person who has shaped me over the years. her rejection has shaped me, indeed.... if not for her rejectionlife would have taken a different course altogether. me here today bcoz of her. Me learn many things in life,bcoz of her. Thanks .................... na, i wont spell out her name.

5. Those few lucky days in 1999 Nov, me came in touch with some wonderful people. some of whom are my closest friendsnow. Me indeed lucky to get friends like these. Even these guys/gals have shaped me into an individual what i am today.

6. One good person helped me get a job in early 2002 sometime in Jan. Me think its due to him me secured the firstjob at a good company to which me stuck on for just 15 months. Me had to quit that company in an untimely andunorganised manner to a few constraints. However during these 15 months once again was lucky to come in touchwith some wonderful people of whom some are friends for life. They take me as me am. Me have not been questionedtill date as to why me am like this. These guys/gals have shaped me. Thanks guys/gals.

7. few ill-fated days in 2003 which me would never want to repeat ever in future. Really these days changed me for ever.

8. Some lucky days in Dec 2003 when me decided it was time to move on from company B to company C. Me think, me was luckyto get in to Company C. Me learn many things in life here which have helped me to improve and look at things andpeople from a different perspective.
Apart from the above have had the good fortune to meet and hear about some great people at various points in time.Me should say me have been a lucky chap and good fortuned (me know its wrong english!).

Any many more which me find it difficult to explain in words, but me know in my mind what happened and how me felt.

Has some WILDlife returned to bangalore?

Has some WILDlife returned to bangalore?Due to our growing (mindless) urbansation of bengaluru/bangalore we have cut down majority of the trees, hardlyhave any green patches, except for some at Lalbagh & Cubbon park (last bastion of hope). Earlier every house, especiallyin the locality of Malleshwaram and most other in bengaluru had atleast 1 coconut tree and few others likea jackfruit tree, Champak, lots of croton plants, a bit of bogunvilla, and others. Now toh, all of us (including me)prefer having concrete all over the place so that we can park our 2 wheelers and cars easily. Even those footpathswhich existed earlier with some chota mota shrubs have been replaced by BMP with cobbled stones and gigantic stone bars.Due to all this and much much more urbanisation we have lost most of the birds and animals which earlierinhabited the pensioner's paradise. Me remember clearly seeing those little cute sparrows (remember them) on thepomogranate tree we had in our backyard. Also those nice litte squirrels. Me remember them seeing way back in theearly 80s and hardly seen any of these 2 creatures in the 90s. However, offlate me have seen quite a bit of cute little squirrels, crows, lots of piegons and kites/hawks. Especiallythe last category of birdies.. hawks/kites (me really cant make out.. my knowledge of biology is very poor). Reallywonder why the population of hawks/kites have increased??? Is it due to the fact that we have started generatinghuge waste in the city and these birdies scavenge on them?? or is that we have more butcheries now?? Remains a mysteryto me. Last week saw quite a large number of squirrels (atleast 5-6 of them, this is huge when compared to the 90s).Also from the top fo my office building nearly on a daily basis me see a lots of piegons. These junglee pigeons existedin the city from a long time. Me remember seeing loads of them on TV when they showed places like bombay. Hey, me remember seeing loads of piegons in Trafalgar square at London!!! Other than these birdies, all thats left are those stray dogs which try to sieze the opportunity to bark at you andscare the hell out of you at night (especially after 10 pm). Due our maddening urbanisation we have lost a vastmajority of our lakes. Me remember reading somewhere that at one time (rather upto 1970s) bengaluru had 272 lakes!!!Now what do we have?? Handful of them like Sankey, Ulsoor, Belandur and one or two here and there. No wonder the water table went down.

Few things me want to do in life

Few things me want to do in life before me die..... ;-)
1. Gliding & Parasailing (isn't this the one where u're tied to a parachute and this is dragged by some jeep/gypsy??? Infact me not feeling sure, but this is what me want to do! Na, me dont want to become a pilot... thats as good as driving a taxi, instead u drive aeroplane, he.he..Me know this sport cost princely sum of money! However, me think that would be able to save some and do it once in a while.
2. Go on an all INDIA tour!
Yes, thats right, me wanna go all over INDIA, why? To know more abt my own country, which as of now me getting from discovery channel/NGC. These foreign channel tell me more abt my country than textbooks in school or material avaiable in books (as in libraries) and net. Hence, wanna feel my own country in full, to the max extent possible. Its the people who make up a country and not just technology and buildings.. Its the beautiful nature of my country me want to experience and enjoy which me know that is really wonderfull and mindbogling. other day saw this programme on NGC abt workers in salt fields in gujrat, somewhere in the Rann of Kutch. Its amazing that these people work day in and day out with such sheer dedication. They hardly complain, do they! Who cares to listen to them, they prepare/manufacture salt there under the scorching sun and they get paid peanuts. In addition their working conditions are really pathetic, no saftey gear, no facilities..... just how lucky we people are.! Me wanna explore the north east parts of my country, i really cannot even name the 7/8 states which are there! Lem, me try... Assam, Arunachal pradesh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Tripura, ..... and 2/3 more.. See, me so ignorant abt my own country and country men.
Also, i wanna visit those wonderful hill stations in the north, like Nainital, Darjeeling, Dalhousie,Kulu, Manali (me know all aint hill stations, but still..) etc etc...
Me also wanna tour around Bihar.... the state abt which there are several misconceptions.... really wanna check out the ground reality.
In addition, the great temples in the south.. especially the ones in tamilnadu, all those towering gopuras, those wonderful carvings, stone pillars, and all its grandeour (is the spelling correct? I am typing it in notepad)
This tour should last atleast 6 months to an year. me think this would atleast require 1 lakh rupees on the lower side and could mount upto princely sums of 2 lakh plus. Can me afford this??? Will save..

3. Shoot at sight ........... with a digital camera.......... need to buy one soon. Anybody willing to be generous engough to buy me one??

I, Me, myself........

Starting now, Me is used instead of I, just not to sound too egoistic! I, I, I, ...... too many I's, i feel, tells that
I am very egoistic. Just want to make it a bit sutle. Even 'Me' sounds too self centred, I know...
