My First International Trip

Its not new to everyone , but new to me :).

So wrote to share with friends.

( its my first inter national trip after working for 6 years exp, God has made me to wait for 6 years because when I was fresher, When I came to know that 6 years exp my Colleague dint go for onsite, I thought how people can stay for so long without going onsite. But realised that despiite having very strong techniical skills you need LUCK FACTOR as well).

After so many things that happened in my personal life last week, the time atlast came for my first international trip to UK( Birmingham ) on Sunday Morning. My flight was at 4.15 AM , My packing finished at 11pm, so left home at 11.45pm on Saturday. Family came for sendoff. Took photos in airport and said bye to all. While checking in , I came to know my baggage weighed 3 kgs more than the allowed limit . But managed to escape from it. My flight was to Birmingham through Dubai. So I needed to change the flight in Dubai. In baggage checkin, I got only Dubai boarding pass. They told me to collect the next flight boarding pass in Dubai. I said ok. After security check, I went for immigration check. As I expected, they asked the office ID. I forgot where I had kept my office ID, but I was sure I had kept it somewhere. But other docs were proper , so everything was cleared. By 2 AM, everything was over and waiting for the boarding. I met one friend there, he didn't recognise me as I had mush. His also first internatioal tip. I asked there again for boarding pass. The girl at boarding reception told me to wait till all passengers board and she would then give the boarding pass.Seeing her, I didnt feel like arguing. :) So stood infront of her. But internally had some tension, 'saala muje hi kyu hota hian'. All passengers boarded, this girl told that I need to collect it in Dubai itself. I was the last person to board the flight.

I was searching for my seat when I happened to see the guy I met at baggage checkin. He had my pass. I got the pass. All hatrack were full, I kept my handbag down, near my legs. Near my seat, guy from Gulbarga was travelling and I came to know its also his first trip. We had nice jokes, came to know that he is freind of my old company collegue. I was listening to songs and slept. But in between, meal guy came and disturbed, I dint like the meal also. So time came for first international landing. Gulbarga guy was afriad of safe landing as I told hin so many people travelling for first time, we remebered "Final destination" movie.


Dubai Airport is very biggg and amazing. One of the best international airports. I had only 1 hour for next flight. Difficult to find out rest rooms. Mine was gate 226. In finding the gate 226, I spent half an hour, full of shops, it was more than 1km i walked . So big airport. After entering the boarding hall, suddenly all new fair skinned faces. I took a pause and found out one Indian. So directly went and talked to him. He was very soft coz he is doctor by profession from 7 years in UK. He talked how Indian doctors struggle there because of new rules. From him, I came to know that several flights cancelled coz of weather condition. I was lucky, I had no clue about it. we got into the flight, pilot announced the birmingham temp is -15. It was different exp compared to domestic travel, all english airhostess, good. I got middle seat, that also
between 2 guys :( one side japanese ( first i thought he is chinese) and other dubai. I obsereved headset connection has 2 pins. Dubai time 9, it started. One more same lunch came, while I was sleeping again. Cant eat yaar!! I saw SALT movie, Angelina Jolie gave company :)

First I thought, why talk to this Chinese. Then thought to talk as its new exp. He is a teacher, did PhD in UK, staying in UK from several years. He knew Chinese too. Conversation went on the topic of education and economy. I told so much about India , hw India is developing from last 10 years. How parents try to give education to children, as education is real asset for the future of thier and country. He told, U were telling different India that he read by some old author. I told Japan is nothing, its depending on US for thier market.Talk went for 4 hours, I impressed him so much, he will take PR in India :). He started teaching me japanese and told how to do shopping in Birmingham, wats the timing to go. It was good , frindly conversation. at the end he told me to collect Landing Card before getting out of flight.


I landed to Birmingham, the temperature that time around -9. Went to immigration check where he asked hw many months stay , company name. it got cleared. Collected the baggage and took 196 (4 pounds for commission) pounds by exchanging 200pounds traveler cheque. Came out of airport and looked for Taxi. Got a big taxi to Burton, I never imagined that I will get such a big taxi. Driver was an Englishman, very nice chap. He told me about Engalnd and its weather. I also told talked about cricket, commom wealth games, supporting England in Ashes. 72 pounds for 40 km. :P






It was very nice travel to Burton, full of snow , trees. roads and taxis are covered with snow. Old typical buildings. I just recalling what I used to see in TV. I could see sun also, very nice scene.




He dropped me to Hotel where I checked in and got a room. Called the hotel guy two times as I could not open the lock. I called my colleague, who is staying nearby. Got freshed up and went to his room for dinner. its around 500mts from hotel. after 10 meters, I started shivering, my gloves become Life saver. 500 meters walk is like sitting in fridge for 5 mins. he gave me Maggie to start with, prepared rice and samabar. I ate nicely and he again dropped me back to Hotel. I came back, switch on the TV. but no Indian channels. Siwtched on Laptop as free wi-fi is avaialble. Just thinking about how challenging it will be in these weather conditions. Got sleep.

Amritsar trip

I am writing this blog after long time. I wanted to write as I enjoyed it very well.

I am there in Delhi for the last 5 months with project mates, since from last 5 months, I had dream to go to Amritsar. I was planning all the time, because of project pressure, I dint get the opportunity to go. But one day night, i.e. on wednesday 4th th august, we thought to go to Amritsar. Suddenly I took initiative and asked all whether they are ready? everybpdy agreed, then I called train agent to book to train. The plan was to book tickets for 9 people for 2 days. (Going on friday and come back on Monday) . We booked the Chattisgarh express to go from Faridabad( 7.15pm friday) and amritsar express( 9.30 pm Sunday) to come back.

6th August :
2pm - Agent gave tickets and he took 150 rs extra charge for each ticket on tatkal. Everything was good till that time. But as the time progressed, wickets started falling.

5pm - Out of 9, 4 wickets fell, 5 people came out of office including me.

we went to Faridabad railway station around 6.30pm , train in at 7.15pm. But train came 1hr late. Faridabad railway station speakers are so horrible that we could not make out
what they are saying. Train came at 8.10pm, the whole compartment is ours as we had 9 tickets booked for us.

7th August:

10pm: We reached Amritsar, first we thought we will go to temple direcly and take rooms in the temple if avaiable. BUt as soon we came out of Station, we met with one auto driver. He had good offer.5 people , 550rs, the whole day in amritsar raoming in richsaw. He only helped in getting the lodge. we took loddge in Samrat Hotel, 300rs / room.
11 pm: After freshup, we we directly went to Durgaih Tirath temple. Temple is very big and very old temple. Spent a good amount time. We had channa puri there itself. Hot Puri with channa, and paneer chutny combination was great taste.

12.30: After this we went to Jalian Walian Bhag. When I saw that I remembered my school social studies book. After entering to it, realised how our freedom fighters sturggled to give us independence. So many people were killed by ruthless General Dyer here. Still we can see the bullet marks. The well were people jumped into it and died. there is Amar Jyothi which is shraddhanjali for for the people who died. We saw the museum and small video in Jalianwalia Bhag. When coming out the mind was thinking so many people sacrificed themselves for the country.

2.30: We went "Big Brother Dabha" , it is AC hotel. We ordered punjabi special thaali hoping that we will get real Parantha. BUt food was not at all good. Parantha was not at all good.

3.00: We went to one more temple "Vaishno temple" , this temple is miniature kind of actual Vaishno Devi .

3.30pm: From there we started to go to Wagah Border, it is around 30km from Amritsar. This border seperarates our contry with neighbour country. It was huge crowd there. At 6pm the military parade happens from both side, Border Gate opens of both countries and flag hosting also happens. We reached there at 4pm itself. It was sunny day , temp is around 40 degree . But nobody is bothered out there. I think, all Indians who come there will be full josh, that moment everybody ready to die for the country. The whole crowd was chanting 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', 'Vande Mataram' without stop. Ohh that was great moments, one officer of BSF was motivating us to shout more loud, so it should get heard to across the border. Indian Border side , all stands were more than full, but the other side of the border, stands were empty. All my energy went there itself, but you dont feel that,because patroitism will be its peak. You will realize only when you come out there. we took pictures and videos.


7.30 pm: After lot of satisfaction, we moved to Golden temple. We wanted to see the Night view of temple. around 8.30 we reached the temple. Temple was really well organized. Shoe Counters and baggage counters all are very systematic, No security check as much as we find in other temples. The moment we enetered, we saw the Golden temple in the night. It was amazing man!! I was so happy to see as it was my long back dream. Inside the temple also , you find huge crowd, but it is well organized. you dont find any problem. We took pics and spend around one hour as we were planning to come next day morning again for Darshan.

The auto guy dropped us to one more restaurant, where we had dinner I ordered veg birayani, it was toooo spicy , I managed to eat half with 2 full raitha. :)

11.30pm: we came back to hotel and slept.


8th august:


10.00am: we checked out the room, and went to 'Kundan restuarant'. Here Actual Pujbabi style parotha we got. Very good parotha with side dishes with them. At the end Full glass lussy made our breakfast complete.

11am: We came to GOlden Temple, the day was sunday. It is fully crowded. Still we manaeged to put our luggage in cloak room. After that I took dip in holy water.
We stood in the queue around 12. Got darshan at at 4pm. It was very nice be there in temple. After Darshan, we were listening Bhajan of Sikhs. We listened it for half an hour, the instrument musics are so good, u will really like that.



Around 4pm we went to 'Bharwan Da Dhaba', here food was excellent. Then we roamed around Lawrence road and Kapda market. Lawrence road is having shopping complexes and in Kapda market, you mainly find the clothes for gals.

7 pm: We were tired, so we took rest in the park which is exaclty opposite to Golden Temple.

9.15 pm: we were in station and got into the Amritsar Express Train to back to Faridabad.

2 days of trip went very well. People say Amritsar can be covered in one day. But I strongly recommend two days to enjoy fully. So that you can spend time without tension thinking about time.

Journey to zaheerabad.. experience to remember

Long back, I stayed in PG for some days, where I stayed with my 2 friends(infact one is my college friend (dharwad) and other joined little late to my room(from Gulbarga) ) . Now after 4 years, Gulbarga friend had called for his marriage to Zaheerabad(Zbad). After hearing the place name Zbad (heard like afaganistan place), thought for 2 mins whether to go or not. As we are very close to him we decided to go there. Plan was to stay in hyderbad for a day to see Ramoji film city, travel to Zbad the next day comeback to B angalore the same night.

Dec 4th 4.30 pm: left the office to station. Reached station at 6pm, as train was at 6.20pm(kacheguda train)During journey, I talked to the co passanger who studied in IIT delhi Mtech. He was telling experiences in the college and Delhi life. As he was hyderdadhi, we asked about film city, how to go.. He told so much about Ramoji, we got excited. After discussing about 2 hrs, at the end, he told he never been there. wat a joke!!

dec 5th 6.30 pm: We reached hyderbad, that guy guided us to go in bus and said its only 2 stops from staion.

We took bus to Koti. In the bus, my friend told (2)Eradu ( he has character like, he talks first in kannada to anybody). Conductor gave 8 tickets, this guy was simply seeing and took eight tickets. Then he showed sign two and took only two tickets and told conductor to inform near Koti. ( I was seeing, wat made him to take 8 tickets.)

Bus was going, 2 stops passed, 3 passed, 4 passed, then we realised we might have crossed the Koti. (Conductor would have shouted, but we dint listen) . We got down 2 stops further, walked back to koti. I always thought of having morning walk, it was very nice morning walk. ( the walk turned to a shock after some distance, as we had luggage too).We had tea in udupi hotel, booked lodge .We freshened and started at 8.30 am to Ramoji. We got #205 bus which charges 10 rs. (we dint book 150 rs bus package) where we met people from bangalore who also had come to visit Ramoji.We reached ramoji at 10am.

Ramoji film city is having good sets and studios, took photos, spent good time around 5 hrs. its a very hyped up place. You dont need one full day to see.we got bored and left at 3.30 pm, got bus to Koti around 4pm. reached 5.30 to room again, had tea again in same udupi hotel, which was half open because of a fear of strike. We talked to the hotel owner, he told its not safe to go out as strike had already started and people had burnt buses and all.

We took 2 hr rest and around 7.30 pm, We watched news and came to know that it was 2 days bandh in hyderabad. we left for dinner. on the way we met again those same guys(morning Banglore people) , where we came to know that their bus ha d been stopped by mob(strike) on the way and they took auto to come back. We thought we were lucky as we dint face any problem. But mind started thinking wats waitng tmrw ?????? :-|

We searched for good restaurant and we found out near Bank street, we gave break to our thoughts and had good party. :-P After coming back to room, we thought and decided and determined(atleast we will try rather than sitting in the room) to go to marriage on next day.

dec 6th: we checked out hotel at 7 am and came to know that all transportation is stoppped. told to hotel guy that we will come back if we dont get anything, to go.As we stepped outside, we saw it was dead silent. After some distance saw some auots here and there.We walked to the MG bus stand, where we saw some people sitting, everthing is empty no bus, no taxi. We enquired is there any way to go to zaheeraabad to attend marriage, came to knw that if we go to outside city Pattencheru or kukkatapalli we will get truck. so we decided to go Pattencheru in auto.we waited for truck to come , waited waited at last one truck came, our auto driver only helped to get seat. Thank God, we are going Zbad. we reached Zbad around 11am.

We attended marriage , my friend in bridegroom was shining. We wished him. My friend was surpirsed that we came from Hyderbad as his collegues got stuck in lodges. We had good marriage food, told my friend to eat more as we dont know, at wat time we will have food again. :)

Now the question was how to come back to hyderbad to catch train at 9pm. trucks wont not go inside city as there were chances of mob attack. so decided to go in train.

Reached station at 2.50 pm, people told there train is at 3 pm. its passenger train, came to know it will reach at 8.30 pm. (Actually it just 80 km distance) that means 6 hrs in train. We knew that there would be a lot of rush as there was only one train that time. Train dint come at 3pm , meanwhile we were watching gully cricket at the near by station, it was also fun as We remebered our childhood cricket. We heard news that India had won 2 nd test agianst SriLanka , felt happy :) Train came at 3.50 pm.Any how managed to get into the train and place for standing. We thought we may miss our train which is at 9pm. somehow had gut feeling that we will makeit. As its passanger train, cycle goes faster than that train.

Hyderabadi people are as helpful as Karnataka people (their pronounciation of the place names is very confusing), they told to catch local train to go to Kacheguda station directly.We came to LingamPalli where we got Phalaknuma local train to kacheguda station, we reached at 8.45pm, ailaa we reached... We were lucky, nobody stopped train in between as they did the next day. We searched for bogie, as we entered into train , it started, we both just laughed as we dont know other than that(atleast me) :)

Dec 7th 12pm: We reached yashwantpur, got bus to majestic and even before the bus started we met with Traffic , my mind told "Welcome to Bangalore" .

It was 3 days of hectic journey full of unexpected things, myself and my friend enjoyed fully. Its good experience to remember, so chalked it out in blog.

Why we call our loved ones as 'Honey' ???


Hi all,

Has anybody thought the answer for above question? Now it has become style symbol to call 'Honey' to loved ones,
1.Are you feeling okay, honey?
2.Where shall we go tonight, honey?
3. Where did you put my glasses, honey?
4. Let's go to bed, honey!
do they really mean it? Thats not my headache. but the why this word 'Honey' came. (This is all my opinion, dont take serious and tension in life. the blog looks longer, but if you read you will get good idea about real honey)

Lets see.

Background:

One day morning , I was coming in bike to office, and as usual there was traffic jam near silkboard signal, I was waiting for the green color to come. But anyhow it would take time. (most people know, how much silkboard signal can make you wait.. )In between , I was watching here and there in the signal for better time pass. But no luck. So my mind was trying to find the some topic, simply to think. But unfortunately , the topic came about my health itself. I was thinking, from last 4 months, wats my health status.. mind was analysing.
10%.. 50%... 90% ... 100%
, yeah the analysis is over, an it dispalyed report. The report said, I took 4 sick leave in those 4 months, but 2 are genuine sicks and other 2 are not. :). Ok lets see the report of sicked one.

The one sick leave is stomuch upset, the reason , too much exercise in Gym..
The other sick leave is slight accident, the reason. too much speed in bike....

But no other sickness.. I thought , its good man, I have not suffered from cough and cold from last so many days. Its like achievement, because otherwise this cold is like pickle in meal . So, I thought , I was missing it, but for the good reason. After so much thinking process happened, the Greeen signal came and crossed silkboard junction.

The night , I came late to home, I slept late, morning when I woke up, I could not breath propely,
god .. the reason simple, my nose has blocked, my old friend visited me again thats COLD. I thought, why only unwanted things happens so quickly in life, but no choice, lets face it and enjoy it.

The 2 days was good with inhaling vicks inhaler, but after 2 days also the cold dint stop. After that his friend COUGH also joined. I deteremined , not to go to doctor, as this came because of my mind, and i dint want to waste money for the doctor and antibiotic medicines. So I wanted to take only free, natural remedies. One day , I fully browsed the net, in this 9 out of 10 article gave good solution to the cold and cough. The one in that 'HONEY diagonosis' .
The honey diagonosis is good to control the cough and cold. Its simple thing: mix Warm water + 2 ts Honey + 1 ts lemon . and drink. It really works, atleast it worked for me.

Now come to
Foreground:
In between, I was searching the advantages of honey. then i found so many things:

Listed below are some common problems and ailments which can easily be cured and avoided from the use of Honey:
*****************************************************************************
Skin
Honey is extremely nourishing for the skin when used as face pack and helps in rejuvenating the skin leading to the elimination of fine wrinkles. It is a good moisturiser.

Honey has considerable Laxative effect on the human digestion system which in turn helps in reducing skin problem ie (pimples) and other problems associated with constipation, which become revealed on the skin.

Antibacterial and antifungal properties
Honey contains many minerals and vitamins beneficial to man. However, one of the most important properties seems to be its antibiotic action.
Honey has been shown to be superior to certain conventional antibiotics in treating some infections.
This bactericide (bacteria-killing) property of honey is named "the inhibition effect". Experiments conducted on honey show that its bactericide properties increase twofold when diluted with water. It is very interesting to note that newly born bees in the colony are nourished with diluted honey by the bees responsible for their supervision - as if they know this feature of the honey.

Healing wounds & grazes
Honey is of value in treating burns, infected surgical wounds and ulcers. Honey is very viscous, enabling it to absorb water from surrounding inflamed tissue. For example, a study in West Africa showed that skin grafting, surgical debridement and even amputation were avoided when local application of honey to wound promoted healing, whereas conventional treatment failed.
For such wounds or Grazes, cover the wound with honey and a bandage.

Diarrhoea
At a concentration of 40%, honey has a bactericidal effect on various gut bacteria known to cause diarrhoea and dysentery

Allergies
Raw honey is an excellent treatment for 90% of all allergies.

Teeth
Although Honey is sweet, it helps to maintain and protect teeth! Its anti-microbial activity has been tested on several species of dental plaque bacteria. A study shows that honey has been proven to sharply reduce acid production, thus killing the bacteria responsible for dental caries, and blocking the growth of oral bacteria.

Stomach Ache
Take 1 teaspoon of honey, juice of ½ a lemon with a hot glass of water first thing in the morning.

Colds and coughs
Honey is remedial in cases of persistent coughs and sore throat. The strong antibiotic properties it contains coats the throat and reduces throat irritation.

For Blocked noses, Place a dessert spoon of honey in a basin of hot water and inhale fumes after covering your head with a towel over the basin.
For Sore throats, Let 1 teaspoon of honey melt in the back of the mouth and trickle down the throat. Eases inflamed raw tissues.
Uneasiness felt in the mouth & throat due to infection can be relieved immediately with honey, so there is extensive scope for honey in cough mixtures & expectorants.

Honey used for children helps inflammatory throat conditions as it both purifies blood.

Digestion
Because sugar molecules in honey can convert into other sugars (e.g. fructose to glucose), honey is easily digested by the most sensitive stomachs, despite its high acid content. It helps kidneys and intestines to function better. Hence honey is beneficial for maintaining a healthy digestive system as well as combating illnesses such as constipation.
For poor digestion, Mix 1:1 honey with apple cider vinegar and dilute to taste with water.
For patients suffering with various maladies of stomach who consume 10 grams of honey on an empty stomach in the morning & not eat anything thereafter for about 1 hour, will start feeling relief from the disorders within a few days.

Weight control
Honey has a low calorie content. Honey, when it is compared with the same amount of sugar, it gives 40% less calories to the body. Although it gives great energy to the body, it does not add weight.

Rapidly diffuses through the blood

Licence story..........

As per my understanding Every person should have 2 licences I mean 2 vehicle licence.
1. 2 wheeler
2. 4 wheeler
First I will tell how much I struggled to get 4 wheeler licence.
My 4 wheeler licence story started long back when I was in 3rd year (2003) engineering vacation. To spend time in vacation is little boring, so my friend told that he is going to join CAR training and he will get the licence. I also thought, its nice idea to spend time in some useful way. So I told him, I will also join and will give company. Fees was 1700 i think, I gave 500 initially. Anyway classes started, the trainer was very strict , he is beating if we dont drive correctly. In one hour 3 members, me, myfriend and one aunty. My friend was driving better than me as he used to practise using his uncle's car. Aunty had car in the home so no pbm to her also, But me.. I also had uncle who is having car but I dint go and practice. After some time , i felt its boring.. the class was not so interesting .. u know what I mean. There were some good gals in some other time. I asked trainer, can I change the time? But he refused to give some other time. After 7-8 classes, the college started , I felt to discontinue it as I paid only 500rs. Few days afterwards, I saw that Aunty was driving alone in her own car. luckily she dint see me....

After 4 years in 2007, I felt again to get 4 wheeler licence(There is some personal reason) , so after asking so many people , I joined CAR taining near my home. The time is biggest problem as my office cab comes around 7 am. So I told the owner i will come at 6 am. I know that 6 am means, the class will start at 6.15 and finishes at 6:45 . so i can catch 7 am bus. oh god,, For this I need to getup at 5.30 am and finish my bath and get ready. With lot of difficulty I used to reach at 6.05 am. Daily I used to wait for trainer and hurriedly catch the bus. At last I finished the class, and took the LLR. Trainer told come after 1 month to get the DL. I was sure that, 1 month means I will forget everything again, but he told to take extra class. I said ok.

After 1 month , I took 2 extra class, but I was not comfortable in reverse gear. I told him that still i am not comfortable. he told come early on that judgement day and practice before going. But that moning I dint find any time for practice as everybody was busy. There were other 3 guys with me, so 4 different character people.I dont remember the names of them, but first was very reserved, second was talking too much as if he is F1 driver, and third one from village.

We reached the test place, and we 4 sat along with inspector. First guy drove very nicely, he cleared test. second was our villager, he was in total tension. He tried to start the car, the car only dint start, after lot of struggle , the car started. Tht time only we thought he will fail in the test. He dint change the gear correctly and dint show the sign. Inspector scolded him. I was sitting silently, coz i know, i will be the next to get the words. In between our F1 driver was guiding him drive like this , like that. Now its my turn, I took out my shoes and started car, I was driving well man, but the problem came with reverse gear. I knew that I will fail in this. It was left reverse. Inpector told to take reverse, I put the gear back and after 2 mins of struggle, inpector told, go and see where u have parked. It was on the footpath. I also thought , I will also fail. The last one is our F1 driver. His task was take out the car, where I parked. He started car, but he started stuggling in first gear itslelf, For his bad luck, some bike was standng behind our car. He ws taking reverse, but could not able to do so. He told the inspector that bike is der, but when inspector saw, there was no bike. Inspector scolded him saying that you are talking so much sittng behind, wat happend now? His test was also bad. Our car traning owner told come t 7pm to come to know the result.

I went at 7pm, except the first , we 3 were there. Owner told we all 3 failed, after that what? I could not stop laughing, coz what ever I thought in the morning, it happened in the same way. We all 3 were laughing. But after some time realised, what man,, could not clear the car drivng test. Felt little bit bad and training owner told come again after 4 days. I thought any how, its just car na, can pass in the next time. so that night I went to friend's house for the party.

After 4 days, again I went, I dint find other 2 guys. This time the inspector was not sitting in the car, so instead of me, my owner only drove the car :) Then what.. I passed in the test. :)

About 2 wheeler licence, there is some other things to tell.. will tell some other time.

At last reached office....

I dont remeber the exact day, but I do remeber the incident of that day coz that is unforettable experience!

It was cold morning, I managed to getup at 6:15 am after 4 times of Alarm. Any how got up and started brushing. Generally I used to watch CNBC channel for the time, what ever I spend for brushing. Because I need to know, how the US market(DOVV jones) has done that night so I can make strategy for today for our NSE. That day , I saw 5 mins more as crude price was going high that day. (If you are not share market investor , then you will not understand, its only for market experts :) ). Then saw the time its, 6:40. I had almost sure , that day I will miss the morning suttle. But I tried my best, took bath and got ready. The idiot clock was showing 7.00
AM. Mom had told to have breakfast, but no time man!! I need to run!! I started running. I called my cab mate, but that guy was sleeping, after 3 rings he recieved the call and told he is not coming. after 2 mins continues run , when I was crossing the road, I saw the office cab was going infront of me. I took rest for 2 mins, then was thinking to go in bmtc bus. But for that I needed to change the 3 buses. I said to myself 'NO WAY' !! I slowly started to go back home.

After coming home, dad started giving mantra about how lazy I am etc and etc. No problem.. Breakfast was waiting for me , so I dint want to disappointment bisi(hot) bisi dosa. So had breakfast around 7:45am. My mind was thinking 'still 2 1/2 hours is there to catch next office shuttle'. so wat to do? Lets have nap. Nap became sleep. When I got up , the time was 9:50Am. Suddenly got up, washed face again started running. The problem is, to catch late morning shuttle, I need to go to different stop by BMTC bus. Anyhow I got bus, took ticket but bus driver was missing. After 4-5 min he came, started bus. I was in tension that whether I will get the office bus or not.. If I miss this shuttle also then wat to do? so much confusion and tension. I dint want to see the time in my watch, dont know why!! any how got down from the bus, saw the time it was 10.20 am. Again running because from bmtc bus stop to shuttle stop, its 3 mins walk. But my running dint give fruitful result. Nobody was there in the stop. I called my friend, he told its already left and he was laughing as if he had achieved something great. But thats true, getting bus is also achievement.

Then I made my mind that anyhow I want to reach office today, so I was waiting for bmtc bus. For my good fortune, Volvo bus came, I was so happy that atleast I got volvo, so that I can go aaram se in AC. It was standing near signal, I ran and got into it.I was feeling so proud about my self, that instead of going in normal bus , I got volvo. But... the situation got reversed.Bus conductor came and asked for ticket, with style I told my stop name, he told 50 rs. I put hand on my pocket but.. not to worry , I had purse.. took out my purse, and saw.. again not to worry, I had money but the problem is that I found that money is not sufficient for ticket. I had only 20 rs. god.......... that time 'mera haalat' dont ask.
I told conductor: 'GURU' 20 rs ede aste ( ihav only 20 rs), conductor started seeing me in some diffrent look now. Suddenly I gave him my debit card and told him to take from my card. He told , he is not having anything to swipe. I told him wat is this saar, in volvo u dont take card-a? He told I wll give ticket for 20 rs and get down near any atm. I said, no need I will get down to next stop. All passengers were seing me. nothing can be done man!! I got down to next stop. Conductor was also laughing.

I was waitng for normal BMTC bus, i calculated how much I need to reach office, 20 rs is sufficeint man! To go to office , I need to change 2 buses, one upto Marathahalli and from there one more to whitefield. Marathahalli bus came, seats were there, I managed to get window seat. Now 10.45 am, Bus started moving to marathahalli, there was lot of traffic jam. I thought it will take minimum 1 hour to reach Marathahalli, so I wanted to utilize this time, so was listening to walkman, and thought to read news paper. But I dont know, when I surrendered myself to sleep. I was sleeping again dude.. when I got up, the time was showing 12.05 am. then suddenly saw which stop I am. But I took some time to realize that I already crossed Marathahalli. Seriosly this is worst condition. I asked conductor , where this bus is going? He told Hebbal, then I got down near KR puram. Now how to reach office?? I had only 10rs in my purse. I started walking towards whitefield, my office is aroun 8 km from there. I dint want to waste my money for auto. But no choice.. I thought to go in Auto so that I can withdraw money if I find any ATM, But No auto was there, The time was 12:25Am. I walked upto 1km and found auto, and told him to stop near any ATM. After that I withdraw money from ATM and auto started heading towards office.time is 12:45 am, ATLAST I REACHED OFFICE and applied half day leave :(.

After this situation, from next time, I should not miss morning shuttle, if in case , I miss first shuttle , I will reach before time to catch second shuttle. In the worst case, If i miss second shuttle also??????????????? nothing.... Apply for leave and go home and sleep.. hahahahahah

My First Blog Post

Frankly speaking this is my second blog. The first one I created long back dated Wednesday, March 01, 2006 http://sushantbm.blogspot.com/ , Please dont visit , nothing is there. That time I was working in Fidelity Company on dotnet technology. So my description in that blog is 'Hi, I am .net guy, want to achieve something unique in life' . OOPS too much.. Its so funny that, I never posted a single post there. Because I stopped working in dotnet after creating that blog. So now I am not .net guy so there is nothing to achieve uniquely in dotnet.
As I have written in the desciption of this blog, this blog is just for, not to forget the things which ever I face in the normal life. From last one year, I was thinking to create blog. I think much , but do little . As it can be used as digital diary. I am writing this blog in office :) . I dont have internet connection in home, but I have already applied, yet to get connection. (First time I already got cheated in getting internet connection) Hey dont think that I am using office time, I am writing after office hours.
I dint have habit of neither reading nor writing blogs. When ever I had seen people writing the big blog , I used to think that this guy dont have work and one who reads it also of the same category. But now I realised this blog concept is good one to share your thinking. So happy blogging....
