Confused ...

Suggestion before reading: Dont take it seriously :)
Recently, in fact from the day software concept emerged, virus is very talked subject. It is said that only very intellegent people can write invincible viruses. Inquisitiveness in me (that is not frequent..) forces me to learn about the viruses. So I decides to study the facts about that.. that too in systematic manner (successful people describe this as one of secret of there success.. so why should not I try the way :)) . I prepared a questionnaire to study virus..
Questionnaire:
Q. What is it?
Virus: A program that runs by itself and has ability to multiply himself.
Q. Who has created it?
Virus: An intelligent creature (we call it as human).
Q. What is his desired purpose?
Virus: Destroy the host. (Jir thali mein khao , usi mein chhed karo...)
Q. What does it do actually?
Virus: They live simultaneously with other programs and by their behavior they harm the program feeding them.
Q. How does they survive and maintain there presence?
Virus: They multiply themselves when favorable conditions are. They try to find newer and newer hosts so that they can make their broad presence and make their culprit originator happy.
Q. Any positive work do they do to help the host?
Virus: Nil

That day when I went to eye surgeon for checkup, he explained me lot about eyes. Eyes are like machines that need input like vitamins to work and frequent servicing... We are a machine made up of small components(Oops concept..) That strikes me, are we really machines?.. I thought, why can't I apply the above questionnaire to us and check.
Q. What is it?
Human: A living thing that runs by itself and has ability to multiply himself.
Q. Who has created it?
Human: An intelligent creature (we call it as God).
Q. What is his desired purpose?
Human: Not known.
Q. What does it do actually?
Human: They live simultaneously with other animals and by their behavior they harm the ecosystem (a program ..) that is feeding them.
Q. How does they survive and maintain their presence?
Human: They reproduce themselves when favorable conditions are. They try to find newer and newer hosts (quest for newer Planets where we can spread our nuisance..) so that they can make their broad presence and make their culprit(Not known actually..) originator happy.
Q. Any positive work do they do to help the host?
Human: Nil
Are we machines made up for bad purpose in the ecosystem.. Big Question... No answer ...:(

Do I need to be more responsible..

There is one understanding among Humans.. Nothing can remain at high energy level state forever.. it has to come down to state it was.. We call it as law of nature..
I read one blog on BDay feelings.. on every BDay we feel we r growing .. we need to be more responsible.. & what not..I really do not feel that on my BDay (May be because I don't know my exact BDay :))... Really... the worst thing is that I feel the same feeling at the end of every day. I am poor chap that i have to bear all this all the time.. Actually i am waiting for the reverse thing to happen.. As the days passes I should feel that I am getting relieved from some responsibilities day by day.. People will start forgiving silly mistakes.. this is like as tasting a fruit in odd season.. Anyway whatever it is.. This gives me some relief from the growing factor(I have habit of keeping counter weight to balance thoughts.. May be this is the answer to my friends question how do i able maintain my coolness always..).. I firmly believe on the laws of nature.. someday this will start happening with me as well..:)

The best air travel one can imagine …. For enemy

Wow !!! Darren was in front of door at dot 4 am (I was happy b’cos GoBa had already injected doubts in my mind by chanting “Earlier is always better than late”). Got in taxi.., reached HitThrow .. , Checked in.., Got window seat without any hiccups ( I was worried because of expired WP). I thought I am going to be lucky person for air travel this time at least.
First frustration: Found a heavy black guy seating next to me … I convinced myself by thinking of short duration journey (one and half hour journey from London to Frankfurt). Got down on Frankfurt airport with fresh feelings (hoping my next 8 hr journey won’t frustrate me. ).Did find some problems in finding AI/Lufthansa boarding location with empty stomach(As unfortunately the check in person at London airport rejected to give boarding pass for Frankfurt to Mumbai travel.). Finally got boarding pass, roamed around duty free shops , had a look at goggles of around 300/400 euros (Good to see people spending so much money to let other people to earn .. philosophical thoughts..) . Exhausted .., sat down., waiting for boarding.
Second frustration: Announcement “Due to unavoidable reason AI126 flight is delayed for 30 mins”. I prayed there should not be any multiplying factor to this (One of friend of mine has multiplying factor of 5 mins when talking to beloved ones). Thank God, it was 30 mins only and started boarding.
Third frustration ( Jor ka Zatka !!!): I got seat in between two old pillers (one old lady and one old man). AaaHhhhhaaa.. now I was sure that I am not going to be lucky person any more. Any way I started feeling that I got a girlfriend aged 84 (Why I am saying her as my girlfriend?? read next). U will wonder how do I know her exact age.. That also she told me with little laugh and shyness on her face (I could not understand her expression.. whether those were because she wanted to tell me that even at her age she can travel from Shikago to Ahamadabad or She told me her reduced age..). The old man seated next to me on one side, must have felt pity for me, that why in between he use to say “She is old lady help her”. Only men can understand men. My GF started talking me.. telling complete history of her family tree.. Who is she.. how many daughters / sons she has .. how do they care her.. how her grand children study in US.. & sooooo onnnn.. She told me everything just because I use to nod when she says something (I felt I am good cultured guy .. respect old people..) . There is always limitation to everything(I felt I am going th’ endurance test.. Finally Mechanical is practical !!!!). I tried to get out of conversation by moving out for toilet.. but in vain.. when back same radio station.. I looked here & there for help (may some one “GODLY person” would like to exchange seat with me.. just some wild dreams !!!) .
There is always solution for every cause.. again some philosophical.. what could I have done at that stage.. I saw drinks coming .. I asked airhostess (not too charming.. in fact not at all.. thought about air India are correct..) I asked do u have beer? She offered me one I asked for two.. This was I think, only second instance in my entire life I preferred to have drink alone ..
You should never underestimate any one .. Yaa this is true.. I was not aware that my GF can make me bored even if I had two beers.. She in between use to laugh and say “Chad gai kya ??”(When I use to look down in frustration..) . One thing I noticed about her, she every time thanked me whenever I helped her .. like .. opening package food.. opening water bottle… Second thing I noticed about her is that she use to “Ankh marti thi” whenever she was telling me some story which she thinks to be very important & suspicious.. like.. 911 (U wont believed she uttered the event as “nine eleven”). This time I reaffirmed my thought that human being are superior than any other animal on the planet (Keeps on learning at every age…). I found one magazine & started reading to avoid her .. but she was really tough player.. she started asking about pictures on the magazine (Who is he ?? … & all that crap).
Finally .. finally … finally… I think she got pity on me & decided to take nap (good thought..). I was so frustrated at this time that I even could not sleep (Normally I sleep for 7 hrs from 8 hr journey). I got one idea of writing down this experience.. looked here & there.. got paper napkin & pen.. started writing down.. This time she is sleeping & I don’t know what next will happen..
In between all this dadaji was watching me writing… & must have understood what am I writing ..but he never asked me about that (simple conclusion .. men are better than women .. at least they understand ur feelings).
Fourth frustration (not so intense as the third one J).. The male airhost rejected giving me veg food on the background that in his list I am a no-veg passenger. I asked one simple question to him (YD style), “How can a vegetarian person traveling from Mumbai to London become suddenly a non-veg ?” The dadaji seating next me boasted my comment by saying “Vegetarian people do not eat meat” with old strong voice.. That gave me extra advantage & got veg food quickly. Thanks to dadaji’s support.

I think u must have tired of reading this .. I will stop now.. I got easy way out of Mumbai airport.. not problem at all.. also got KK travel booking .. At least some things were going in my way..

Always keep IE setting to "Every visit to page"

I have very bad habit of assumptions. Like, before doing any action, I assume most of the aspect related to the task as they are like before (Some times due to this I feel unnecessarily confident that landed me in trouble many times..) I remember one incident related to this.. That day I went to photofast with my sister.. I preferred quick photo option. The photographer clicked me & asked to wait at counter to collect the photos. I got the photos, i was looking nice in photos (Sometimes I also look good..:)) I straight way went to my sis & asked "I am looking good in photos.. isn't it?" She replied "nice..". When I heard the voice I got clue that i am not speaking to my sis but other girl who was standing at same place where my sis was standing. I looked up at her face, giving smile mixed with little shame, I left her saying sorry. Thank god the new generation girls are open minded, otherwise I would had to hide congress logo on my cheek from my sister who was standing outside.. One more lesson.. don't assume anything.. don't rush on conclusions.. As I said these bad habits wont leave u easily..

Some Lessons ....

Recently I did (In fact happened by me) a Herculean task.. A task of organizing a wedding function.
From my childhood days I have this question in mind "Why do people like to do something like arranging big functions for rituals?" Its a waste of money.. waste of efforts(Please note that this statement is given by a completely exhausted, disturbed person, this may not be true in actual), sleepless nights.. & so on... Why then .. Its really fun for the participants, but nightmare for the organizer.
I got answer when I did it... How can you experience joy when u haven’t done efforts for that :) (Dont cast me as philosophical person :)) The joy of success.. amazing..
During this I came across many incidents which taught me a lot.. some stole my sleep as well..J
Now also sometime I got up from sleep when some unwanted thoughts comes in mind (u know generally bad things are sticky. If there are good thoughts then u need to do efforts to remember them.. but for these .. bin bulaye mehaman..)
Wedding Shopping... Ohh God.. We still have old fashioned style.. there will be band of people( selector, mostly women.. who else would like to spend hours.. ) for selection. I dont understand why do other people are needed for your shopping (I am not denying that u need close ones that too one or two.. but not the whole colony.. ).. I spent nearly abt 8 to 10 hours to shop 3 cloths for bride. I think i was lucky.. that is really good bearable time if u see the statistics.. Consider there are five women to choose.. each one has at least five attributes (color, cost, texture, brand,..).. then what is the probability of getting all five intelligent creatures (at least they think so.. they think they can get better deals by bargain..) at one common point.. Mind-boggling. Thank god there was one women who leads all the others to finish so quickly .. huuuussshhh... Again my good habit (some says bad) of drinking lots of coffee/tea helped me..

In all these shopping, I noticed that I am very bad bargainer.. I believe I cant do that.. I tried sometimes, but the opposite party must have recognized me as new player & must have fooled me.. I am firm believer of the thought that wherever you get bargain u get bad deals.. Thats why I like west culture of supershoppy.. Whatever deal u get, even though u r robbed (comparing price & quality), u know that u r not alone.. I think during all this shopping I must have been cheated by many people (what can i do .. i am poor.. i can't do it.. L)
In all this I enjoyed one thing.. that is spending money.. Normally my intellectual mind prevents me doing all this.. but now i know that i have to do that..

There are lots pain areas in these types of function.. one of them is respect.. Host is by default expected to fulfill all the desires of the all the guests (Mainly the close ones.. There is real comedy in this.. close ones are only head ache… ) This is one way true as well, if u r inviting someone then u must respect him.. Again the same question why should u invite trouble… don’t let this situation of inviting so many( in our case the count touches to 1000 odd) to occur…simply don’t arrange such function.. (Basic problem with me.. Lazy.. ). I think I am talking about only the black side of this.. there is brighter side as well.. we r social (remind me words of one of influencing manager.. “We are human beings.. be social..” There was one guy in Selectica team who was working in night shift at Reliance. He wanted to talk with me at very odd hour of 2am in morning on some issue he was facing in application. To contact me in hotel he literally disturbed sleep of all the team members. How .. To know my room number he phoned all one by one..J ).. we need to maintain contacts.. this is really good ground for that…

There are lots of incidents in this period that taught me a lot.. So now I will have to say energy can neither be wasted .. nor be created.. (This statement is given by a person who is in control, I think this may be true in actual). one need to find the balance..
