The Nails story

I happened to watch a movie couple of weeks back which has a very weird and funny concept regarding nails. This proved to be correct when i tested it with most of my friends.

When a person is asked to see their nails, i say not to show but to see their nails, the general convention is,

A Boy will always fold his hand/palm inwards to see the nails.

A girl will always stretche her hand forwards away from the body and see the hand. This is something like reading a letter or a paper with hands keeping it away from the body.

The convention works with most of the persons. This is a general thing that you can see when asked a boy or a girl.

There can be chances of a guy acting like a girl and a girl acting like a guy when asked to see their nails. Its an exception.

But what should a person who sees one hand in style of a guy and one hand in style of a girl be called....lolllllllll...Ooops!!!

Hyderabadi Vegetarian Haleem

I had haleem on 12Sep'08. Hey!! whats special about it? Yes it is for me.

It has been 4 years since i'm in Hyderabad. Its my 4th Ramadan time in Hyderabad. Hyderabad is know for its two delectables, Biriyani and Haleem. Haleem is a special delicacy which will be available only during Ramadan times. Since the time i am living in hyderabad, i keep hearing about the taste of the haleem which i havent tasted. The reason being, i am vegetarian. Haleem is generally made of meat and ghee. So i havent tasted it. But i always had in mind, why is the dish so famous? How does it taste sweet, sour, hot???

I remember my colleagues shankar, sharon and kiran used to have haleem during ramdan times at Paradise(Sec'bad) which is very close to my previous office, Effigent. They used to have it in the evening during snacks time. I dont accompany them always as i couldn't eat it and just seeing them eat haleem doesnt make me happy :).

I always thought if there had been Veg Haleem which sounds funny for me then but not now. It may sound funny now even to some one who doesn't know that there is Veg Haleem available in Hyderbad. My search for veg haleem started in 2006 ramadan times. I havent enquired with the restaurants. But if anyone talks about haleem i used to certainly ask if they know something of Veg Haleem which i even was not sure of. The response was a simple n sarcastic smile.

Finally, on the way from cyber towers to Lakadikapul via Mehdipatnam, this year i found an outlet of PISTA HOUSE which serves Haleem. The traffic used to be very slow by the time we reach the road passing afront of pistahouse. The reason was Haleem. Its always crowded, everyday and everytime i see. This time i didn't want to take a chance. As its being friday, i thought of stopping there and ask the restaurant wala about Veg. Haleem.

When i asked for Veg Haleem at the counter, i remember all the people around there stopped with what they were doing and looked at me for a moment. I donno why, it was quite embarassing. The counter wala was also not sure about if they had veg haleem. So he asked me to enquire at the kitchen window and showed me the way. I came back to him saying that they do have Veg haleem. It costed me Rs.60/-. I collected the parcel amidst of the heavy crowd(i debt the crowd would be as huge as the crowd waiting for tickets for chiranjeevi's cinema for the first day, first show :)) and came back on my way to my place.

I reached the room and was very eager to taste(which i was thinking even while driving home :)) it. I opened it with lot of interest. But as soon as i opened the pack and see it, i was not sure if it was veg or non-veg as the look and feel i.e. UI:) passes the wrong message. So i asked my roommate(rupesh, who is a non vegetarian by habit) to taste it and see if its certainly not non-veg. The complete upper part of the pack was covered with Ghee and i can get by its smell. After proper approval and reconfirmation only i tasted it. It was not upto my expectations as i had been waiting for this right moment since 4 years and my expectations were very high about the famous dish.

So, Dear Vegetarians!! Gud times now for you too...-:) you too can taste Haleem now. Go ahead and enjoy -:).

Priorites Change With TIME

Priorites change with TIME and circumstances. We need to accept it. I too accepted it just 5 mins ago. What am i blogging about at this 12:20AM odd time? Why am i doing it? I donno the answer. I'm just putting it down so that i will not skip this truth or lemme put it this way, i may not be ready to accept it for myself once i wake up this morning.

For the last couple of weeks my brain has been a factory of some new facts that will certainly keep me happy in 99.99% of situations in life. It has been a generator for new thoughts and truths. It all happened due to some changes i'm undergoing mentally, emotionally.

Generally i like to see happiness around me. Who ever is with me, i want to see them smiling and want them to be happy. But may be if some one noticed it or not, i'm talking philosophy these days.(May be you could checkout my status message in orkut too....)

Priorities are to be set so that you stand for them and plan your life accordingly. Till now i thought priorities will not change. Priorities should not change. They are not to be mended. But its false. They are ought to be mended with time and situations. Harshly speaking, priorities should change so that life doesn't monotone. Anybody who accepts it will not be haunted emotionally. If you accept it you will be happy else fretful.

When a GIRL gets married..

Its not just the surname that gets changed the girl also gets changed. Isn't true? Yah it is. Most of the girls say its wrong. Though its hard to believe, its the truth that needs to be digested. The truth is the girls don't change but the CIRCUMSTANCES change them and they act according to the situations.

The priorities get reset, importance and mindset changes. Something which was very important before may be not so now. People of high importance before marriage could be of very less important now. My point here is not to blame females. It should be understood that with lot of pain and struggle they make the changes to the things they loved for almost 20+ years of life. Why cant they be the same? Who needs to be blamed for these changes?

Actually i want to blog more but cudn't put them on paper as my thoughts are not yet subtle. Sure will be doing dat soon.

Ooops!! wat am i writing about?? Why am i writing all this?? Is it only due to the changes i have been noticing....nope may be subconscious mind gives me the feel dat i am very emotional and all these 20+ years experiences may be also a reason for me to put in some time into writing this.

The first comment i received on this post is absolutely valid. May be i should have re-said that the groom is the main actor in this complete picture..if i'm not wrong. The bride undergoes lot of changes than the groom. For the groom its all the same except a new partner into his life and talking sarcastically a new burden over him which i say is absolutely worthfull to take upon.

The bride should be ready to accept the changes in her life what ever and how many ever they are and how ever painful they are. Its the grooms responsiblity to associate her to the family smoothly and make her comfortable. Hmmm....it goes on....

Why do HUMANS cry?

CRYing is the general human biological response for sadness, distress or physical pain. Tears can be advatageous too.

A bit of googling helped me classifying the tears to basal, reflex and emotional(Now dont ask me the differentiation). It can be observed that the frequency of crying varies from person to person. This is just due to the difference in the resistance/persistence of the persons. I donno if this can be improved personally. physcial pain resistance can be improved easily with proper fitness/diet control. But the emotional tears can be controlled only by personal excercise of the individual.

So from now on, when you cry dont feel embarassed. Its just a physocological response to an incident/situation. CRY out leaning on your loved ones and the heart will be weighed down.

Words are sharper than SWORD

I always insist on "Think before you deliver your words". Because sometimes words can prove fatal with important relation ships. And especially when the thoughts are not clear and are just out of some assumptions this can be more harmful.

Understanding your loved ones is easy. But the phobia of FEAR OF LOSING THE LOVED ONES(Can someone tell me the exact technical term?) will cause some problem when the person u love behaves differently due to their own circumstances. The people of such phobia needs to be more careful with their deeds/speech/behavious when such thought of losing occurs. Actually the phobia itself causes to lose our loved ones(due to misunderstanding). This phobia can only be cured with personal experience.

Any sort of relational issues can be fixed only with franck and genuine discussions. Talk to the other person open heartedly and then any issue can be fixed. Every problem in this world has a solution.

What is this FRESH mind?

What is this FRESH mind? Not a new mind :). Its the same mind with completely relaxed state.
And you ask me for the advantages?? I can give you many.

I observed many times that, though you work for many hours you may not fix an issue. But the next immediate day, we can fix the issue with an half minute. You dont believe its literally just 30 seconds.

I know for many people it looks weird n strange but its fact. It has been proved with live example.

Dont struggle and trouble your mind when you are not able to fix any issue. Give n take some time n relax, have some cup of steaming coffee or hold a gab with clleagues and come back and start. You can fix it in 30 seconds. :)

Working on Sat & Sundays

Working on saturday and sundays is very hectic and stressful for the brain to take. It actually reduces the productivity of the following week.(These working hrs are just to put in our time sheets.) The reason behind it is, we have NO REST physically and mentally. When i say rest, its not like sleeping or being home. Its all about relaxing in our own ways.

The side-effects :) infact the main-effects of these stressful working hrs are headaches, eyestrain, neck pain etc. etc. and to cure them we take some drugs. Drugs are not only constantly costing you big bucks but are potentially habit-forming, and may have dangerous side effects in future. Pain relievers only prevent you from feeling the symptoms of pain. They do not treat the source or cause of the problem. Its like ignoring our body's natural alarm system.

Suppose your car's oil light came on? Would you clip the wires to the oil light to fix the problem? Of course not! That would be so comical - yet we are guilty of doing the same thing to our bodies every time we take a pain killer. And that is not funny!

The proper stress buster, oops i should say traditional stress busters are Meditation, Yoga, Pranayama. My mother who infact follows 2 of the above 3 mentioned insists me too follow them. I strongly determine to follow them whenever i listen to my mom. But infact never find time to follow.

My Dreams

I donno why n how n when we dream. After a bit of googling just got some info that REM(Random Eye Movment) is the time when we exactly dream. This is the deepest point of our sleep. Nothing can disturb our sleep/dream during that point.

Briefly saying i dream everyday. It can be of anything. Till now i only got the same dream twice. It happened only once. Donno what does that means.

The dream that came twice with the same persons, same dialogues, same environment. If any one knows please let me know why does that happen?

There are two arguments,
1.Some ppl argue that we dream abt the things we do in our routine.
2.Some ppl argue that we dream abt the things we dont do but think about.

Which is correct???

I cant take any stand here 'coz i generally dream about many things dat happened in the day and dat i think in the day.

@100Kmph--> Sanghi

7July'09..it was a bright sunny day and it was our beloved TLs b'day too and it was a sunday too.

After a hectic week work which included saturday too, we(3nath, Haritha, Kiranmayi, KiranV, Ashish, PrakashJ, Veerababu, Tarun, Satish, Sonal, Sriram, Tarak pavan) were invited by LN to his home which is quite far from the city with not much of pollution and was very pleasant.

By the time i reached there by 11:30AM, there were already couple of them reached there. As there was no power till one more hour of time we spent time sitting outside the home with counters and sattires.

Finally by 1:30PM after long waiting for our two more friends we started to have our lunch. Both veg & non-veg was available. Except 3 people all other had non-veg food. After the delicious lunch i thought of taking a secret nap :) which was not at all possible with around 10 pupil around there. Then i was asked by LN to pickup Satish(QA guy) and Tarun from the LB Nagar busstop who started lately from their places.

Me and TarakPavan both went out to bring both of them. After getting them i tried again to steal a nap btn so many people. But our mass kiran was so active that he didnt allow anybody to sleep. Escpecially KiranMayi(of slum area ;)..just kidding) was the sufferer. Then we all decided to go out of home 'coz after the heavy n delicious lunch every body was down and was feeling very sleepy. So we all decided to go to SANGHI temple as there was no other option for us. I even tried for movie tickets but didnt get tickets.

Some people disagreed to come to SANGHI as they had chicken and it wud not be correct to visit the temple after eating non-veg. So we all agreed that who ever feel like entering the temple can enter n who ever find it wrong can stay back and we can have some time pass outside even. So after freshup we started.

Mr. Kiran was the one who allocated the pillon riders for each bike. We totally had 8 bikes and 15 people to travel. Kiran wants to drive alone and so he randomly asked the people to join somebody. We finally started. One of the twins(Kiran & Kishore) said that theres a shortcut to Sanghi from LN home. No one else know the shortcut way. So we were asked by LN to follow their bike. But Tarak and Sriram was so furious that they ride @100kmph and we finally lost the shortcut way. out of 8 bikes-5 bikes were on one way and 3 bikes were on another way.

So i contacted LN and we waited for them at Surabi restaurant. We met at the restaurant and started slowly as directed by LN. After some time, again the same thing, Tarak and Sriram rode @100kmph. 5 bikes got lost again due to high speed. 3nath-Tarun, Tarak-Haritha, Sriram-Sonal, Kiran(Twins)-Satish, Ashish-Kiranmayi. Out of 5, i was the only one who knows the actual route to sanghi. So instead of waiting for LN we decided to reach there on the actual route. Just from the main high way we have to take a left turn exactly at one point. And i know where exactly the right turn was. But Tarak rode his pulsar and waited at the cross exactly at the right side of the rode as he was not sure if that was the correct right turn. I stopped at the left side of the rode as i know that was the correct right turn to take. I stopped at the right side and tarak was at the left side. The next guy is our dynamic talented driver Mr. Sriram and he knows the traffic rules so definitely that he stopped in the middle of the road. The next following vehicle was Kiran & Satish. Kiran was not able to control the Apache and directly ran into sriram honda glamour. The speed of apache was so high that, as soon as he ran into glamour both the vehicles fell down. I was the one witnessing that incident.

But injuries was so shocking that i was very worried about the 4 people that if any fractures were not there. Fortunately there were no fractures and only serious scratches happened. My bike had the first aid kit and so we helped them out in giving them the first aid.

The most confusious part is, Satish who was the pillon rider of apache has no external injuries. But his complete left portion of the body was painful. All others had serious scratches. We informed LN who was almost there at Sanghi via the shortcut way. I knew that LN is going to give me/us left n right once he comes. So i asked everybody to just keep quite if LN scolds.

We terminated our visit to SANGHI and started back after lot of arguments, discussions(abt reasons for accident), fights, disappointments. On our way back to LNs home we took the injured to the nearest gud hospital. They were given some anti-septic injections and few tablets. Then as sonals sandals were torn out, LN gifted her new sandals on his b'day. We managed to avoid narrating this incident at our homes but our KIRANMAYI was so franck and truthful that she told that away to LNs mother and sister. Till then we managed hiding the things. We, especially LN got left and right from his home.

We had some hot coffee and started back to our respective places at around 6:30PM. It was a nice adventurous day and we cant forget LN's '08 b'day for this reason.

Vacation to NIndia(In Progress)

We(3nath, Dheeraj, Venki, Gulli, Kishore, Suneel, Bhuvanesh) were on a ever waiting long trip to NIndia trip. In the complete tour we missed Mani who is generally termed as gang leader due to very bad malaria. I actually insisted to take him with us but the worst things he was suffering was heavy cold in the evenings and the other is throat infection. But many of us only adviced me to not to take the risk as the places we planned to cover were indeed very very cold. But we certainly missed him throughout the tour.

I started this blog not to let our exprience get lost with time. Will be completely progressively.
22ndDecember'07(Travel to Delhi)
We had our train Samparkranthi Express from Secunderabad railway station on 22nd 8:45Am. Actually Kishore and Dheeraj reached Hyd from Chennai and Banglore just an hour before the train timing to Delhi. Venki received both of them from there arrival points. This made venki very busy and so he was a bit late finally to start to the station. The luggage was very heavy totally. So we hired 3autos to reach station. We finally boarded train successfully. As the tickets were booked on first class (b'coz some of the friends were not happy when i was planning to book tickets in 3tier A/C as the december month will be very cold that too in north india) the washrooms and the compartment was very clean and tidy....but O.K. we adjusted :) As the berths/seats we got were not continuous, we had some tough time convincing the people in one cabin to take our seats in the same compartment.

Finally we managed to accumulate 5 seats in the one cabin except one couple who were not willing to move as they were insisting to have their heavy luggage(really heavy luggage and i am sure they must be coming from some long trip or other country) with them and also they dont want to move to another cabin as they have settled down completely now. Actually they were abt to get down at bhopal which might reach at night 11:00pm. Anyways we finally managed to squeeze into the same cabin. As we settled down we started to have fun striking sattires at each other. By afternoon we had played some rounds of cards. Franckly speaking that was the main fun we had in our complete tour. Each one of us were very hungry and so we had and early lunch. Our lunch included chapathis(my mom prepared as she was in hyd for my b'day which was on 8thDec') and the side dish(yerra karam ;)) was from Venki's mama home. Gulli and venki had more chapathis than everyone else and we just left 4-5 chapathis left for the evening snacks. After having lunch all of us were on their own fun. Laptop, MP3 players, chit chat...having a quick nap....it was all fun and i was particularly excited abt the next 8 days tour. In the evening we again had some gud fun with cards fooling venki and others with JKalavar ;)

In the evening we managed to get food...managed?? why?? B'coz we didn't order the food to the canteen in the train. We thought we can get better food from the stations. But we couldn't find any proper stations or proper food and so we managed the food distributor in the train to get atleast 2 meals and a chapathi parcel. We had to adjust with the food provided and the left over chapathis in the afternoon helped us a bit.

Everyone argued over the berth places and i managed to get a lower berth but didnt get an MP3 player and i forgot my ipod at home. So except venki everyone took their berths. Donno problem with venki. But actually he was the one who was there with full preparation with some hot clothes i.e. gloves, mufflar, huge jacket. So he was busy unpacking his bag and finding them in the chaos. And he took his berth in the next cabin cause one of our seats were left there. But by morning he was in our cabin only, reason was after the couple(in our cabin) left the train in bhopal he came back to our cabin and also he was not getting sleep in the train...dats very bad.


23rdDecember'07(Travel to Agra)
The next morning as usual venki was late to wake up. Everyone was allset to land in delhi. But the train(INDIAN TRAIN) was late by an hour or so. Meanwhile i contacted the guy who was ready to pick us up at the Nizamuddin railway station. So we packed up all our luggage and complete compartment was empty as that was the last station. In that hour we had a round of cards and the had a simple photo session :) in the compartment. Then we had a round of cards game...sattires...counters etc. etc. Meanwhile the guy called Jithender(travel agency guy) who was waiting for us to pick us up contacted me and i informed him that we will be 2 hrs late. As we are nearing Delhi we saw the Agra station and there was a stop in the station too. Some one there told us that was an unofficial stop and will not be listed in the list of stations in the train schedule. If known, we would have booked the tickets till agra only, 'coz our schedule was to reach delhi and travel to agra. This mistake costed us 4 hrs. So, as we reached delhi some hijra got into the train and asked for alms. Infact it was not asking, it was demanding. We pretended to not to notice.
The whole cabin was blocked with luggage as we were using the luggage as a platform to play the cards. The guys at the front part of the cabing i.e. venki, kishore etc. was caught. The hijras were touching :) them and asking for money. We guys i.e. me, gulli and suneel were in safer position nearer to the windows. We gave some money i.e. around 50-60 rupess..GOD! dats toomuch and got rid of them. So we reached delhi. We had some bad time to get hold of Jithender. As he told us a restaurant name and asked us to stand before that. But the issue is there was a restaurant with that name both outside the station and on the first platform. So finally we got out of the station....talked to him clearly abt the journey, plan, schedule. By that time, we didnt realize that driver called "Anil" would be very helpful. The i paid jithender the remaining balance amount and started directly to Agra.

We got in the vehicle i.e. CHEVROLET TAVERA which hold very new look. Adjusted our luggage, choose our places and venki got into the conductor position as that seat can serve him/his size better.

After starting towards Agra, i had a chat with anil. He suggested to visit Mathura on the way to agra. Mathura is just 55km from Agra. So we reached Mathura by afternoon. Had our bath and had darshan which was a bit hasty. We started to Agra immediatel without even having lunch to visit TajMahal in the moonlight(as the day was fulll moon). So we directly went to tajmahal without evening checkin to hotel. But by the time we reached tajmahal it was 6:30PM and we thought we can manage to have the entrance. But the parking lot was very far from the actual tajmahal gateway. By the time we took the entrance tickets and entered tajmahal it was 6:45PM. The security personel was already asking the visitors to leave the place as the closing time is 7:00PM. So we didnt notice each other and headed(franckly ran towards taj mahal to atleast has a glance at it in the full moon light). But venky was using the handy cam and so was caught by the security as the videography is not permitted in and around the taj mahal premises. Then i talked to security and some how managed to get rid of the issue. The first glance of the TajMahal in the full moonlight was outstanding. The cool breeze and the slight fog and TajMahal...wow its fabulous. We(3nath, Gulli, Bhuvanesh) were left as a group and we managed to go together near to the taj mahal. The sight of Yamuna river in the moonlight...man!! no way i can express the feeling. We tried to have gud photos...but as the flash range is just 10ft. only the we were getting captured and the background was black. Anyways the first view of the Taj in the moonlight was fabulous.

Then we headed to our hotel. Actually we headed to search our hotel as it was already 8PM and finally we reached our hotel. Instead of checkin to the hotel and go for dinner, we first opted to go for dinner as we all were hungry as we didnt have lunch in the afternoon. Finally, we found a restaurant called TARA or Nakshthra....star hotel ;)....the stars were related to the cost and not the food and ambience :). We had our dinner and reached the hotel. In a small talk with Anil i came to know that Agra and Jaipur are very costly compared to chandigarh and delhi. We made a schedule with Anil that we will visit TajMahal again in the morning.

Once we checked in to hotel, i was very happy that the rooms and reception was very nice and very good more than my expectations. We had some good time at hotel room also. Venki was so troublesome that he was not at all leaving to his room. Finally me n dheeraj managed to throw him out :). As we planned to visit TajMahal again we have to wake up early in the morning i.e. not at 4AM or 5AM :), its around 6AM, B'coz the taj mahal opens at 9:00AM. So we have to reach there by that time. So dats the eod.

24December'07(Agra)
The day started at 5:00AM actually. As we were distributed in two different rooms. We woke up and started to get ready. Our goal was to reach taj mahal by 8:30AM. B'Coz dats the opening time for taj mahal. we, our room mates(3nath, Dru, Bhuvanesh, Kishore) got ready. Venki in between cause some annoyance. But dru after getting ready had some photo session even in the hotel room :).

Then as usual we were late due to bhu's long bath :) or something else. The taj mahal was opened and closed again for cleaning purpose. So we had some 30-40 minutes time to luk around. So as we already hired a camel cart from the parking place to taj mahal, we were riding on it. The camel vala stopped near a shopping complex where agras handicraft or handloom works were possible. The camel vala as per rules has to stop there for 15 mins. though the tourists wants to shop or not(which is abs. bull shit reason). So having no options we have to go around the shopping complex though it is small. The first shop of the complex was a handloom store to which we were personally invited to visit :) by the gate keeper of the shop. We just went in to do some timepass. But finally we are forced by nobody to buy some sarees to our family members. This is so unfortunate. With absolutely no idea abt wats the quality and the worth of the sarees we totally did a shopping for 10-15K which is absolutely absurd.

Then we were not dare enough to enter anyother shop and directly started to the gateway of taj mahal where we already found a pretty lenghty que. So immediately we rushed to lock our belogings at the locker keeping only digi cams with us.

After passing over the vigilance check we had a 5-10 mins walk to the entrance of the actual mahal. The view of the white taj mahal through the actual fort(i term it as compound wall :)) was spectacular. There we had a photo session each snap consisting of 3 in YUVA style. Very funny rite. Had a gud time there :). Our venki alias venkateshwarlu was busy videographing the entire fort.

As soon as we entered the actual scope of Taj Mahal, it was really fantastic and worthful to be called as one of the 7 seven wonders of the world. The slight fog made it more romantic. Wasting no time we immediately rushed towards the taj. The more closer we move towards taj, the more attractive and huge it became. The people were luked little infront of the taj when we actually reached the foot of it. We need to actually climb 2 floors to be there in the lanai of the taj. I captured few pics which actually shows the "Sikhar" of the taj tomb and some pics which explains the maintainance of taj.The pics actually showcases the optical zoom of my Canon SX100IS cam. The sikhar of the tomb luked like a sikhar of an hindu temple rather than a muslim mosque. I tried to analyze the mail which i got a few months back which argues that the Taj Mahal is a Sivalayam rather than a mosque or graveholder for a moment. Then after couple of pics we climbed the floors to reach the taj foot.

The floor was so cool and smooth that we thought of sitting rite there for a while. The saddest part is while actually entering the taj building, we are not supposed to use the cams. There was a very fantastic piece of art work in the marble stones around the corpse of the Begum. There were actually two corpse, one of Begum and one of shahjahan which was made after his death. But, our spy cam captured couple of pics inside the building too but a bit blurred. Inspite of being warned once not to use the cam in the building we pictured the second pic where even our gulli(photo picchodu) wants to pose before the corpse :).

After coming out of the building we noticed one guide explaining about the beauty of the work on the taj walls to an tourist party. We immediatley became a part of the party for a while to grab the info. The walls of the taj were so gracefully engraved that it seems like a fitting one on one which was actually a synchronous work. Then only i realized that, that was reason why shah jahan smeared of the hands of the workers who worked on it.

After that we had some nice time there on the lanai of the taj which was very cool and smooth. We sat exactly backside of the taj where we can view the River Yamuna. We came to know that there was another construction which is called the Black Taj Mahal on the other side of River Yamuna. But the the construction was not complete. we tried to zoom in to capture the sculpture but cudnt do that.

After a long photo session of individuals in different pose and different styles we moved on. When i call it long, it was really very long which spans to 1-1.5 hrs. Ridiculous rite?After that as we went out the taj fort, we were looking for some tiffin center to have some tiffin. But our venki sir, being a shoes collector(yes he is, he has a range of shoes) took us to an shoe shop which was told the cheap and best shop. Not only he, we all purchase each a pair of shoes willingly or unwillingly. Then after this shopping we moved on to the parking lot where our driver was furiously waiting for us as it was already late and we have to move on. He expressed his concern that due to the delay at taj we may miss some places planned for the day. Everyone blamed the other for the delay. Due to this delay we missed the Agra Fort. Only couple of pics of agra fort were captured from tavera to just remind us that we missed it due to our photo session. The tavera ran towards jaipur and all ended up tired lying there in their places.

DO IT NOW.....The cure of POSTPONEMENT

"DO IT NOW" seems to be a very simple statement but can prevent the consequences of the most dangerous word/action......i.e. POSTPONEMENT. Practically DO IT NOW is not very easy paradigm untill you once come across the advantage of following that. Franckly speaking i want do somethine productive on weekends since the starting of new year but kept postponing for next weekend and again the next weekend and that weekend never comes :)lolllllll

Actually i myself wrote a blog in my workplace intranet blog space as reading some thing productive atleast 15 mins a day makes a very strong constructive habit but never find time to follow (prob with postponement again)....as an typical s/w employee i want to rest or take a quick nap when i find some free time at home. Or if found more free time i hang out with my same school friends. Not certain of when i will start this DO IT NOW paradigm. I want to start following DO IT NOW right NOW.

What is time?

Every one knows that time stops for none. It may be possible to gain anything back but the time spent ever/never comes back.

The duration of time(confused? talking abt the duration of time hah! just wait for a moment and u will clarified) depends on the perspective and the situation you are in. Any doubt abt it? Time is too slow for those who wait, too long for those who grieve, too swift for those who fear, too short for those who rejoice.

Time can heal anything. God has blessed the human with a wonderful option called retention loss or in simple english forgetfulness or forgetting something. So the time works well with the forgetfulness and the individual will be soon out of the chaos. But the speed of the forgetting depends on the different factors such as difficulty in learning and the stress and sleep etc. So, even the hard and close relationships can be forgotten with time if the individual intends. But there can always be exceptional cases.
