Just July.
Hi.... Too busy to write blogs. (I hope u believed that).
July 2010 has been a very challenging month for me. So many good things happened. Where there is good there is bad....Some sad things too happened. Well, I like to keep my personal life closely gaurded so I won't write much on these good and bad. But 1 thing is for sure...It pains a lot when u part from ur loved ones. This month I had to part from my "207" loved ones along with some "40" respected ones. Anyways....let me come to the point.

Summer Dreams Vs Monsoon Nightmare
Hi Friends. Its rainy season in Mangalore and as usual the "Mango People" or the "AAM Janta" are having a tough time tackling the rain.
I had written this particular blog a few days back but I am uploading it today.
I am keeping it very short and I have tried to end it suddenly after taking it to a high point. I hope I can make u think about certain things.
I would like to thank Prakash Kamath and Airody Ramanath Pai for the beautiful clicks.
Here we go.......
“Come 2010 Monsoon and Mangalore City will be proud of its Roads and drainage system”. This was the statement my friend made to his cousin from Mumbai during the latter’s visit to Mangalore in 2009 July.
2010 monsoon has just peeped in and said a HI. But already the city is in a mess. Most of the city roads are dug up either for road widening work or for making concrete-roads. The canals that run parallel to the roads are totally filled up with the remains of the demolished buildings and the rain water that is supposed to flow through these canals are “fearlessly” flowing on the roads. As a result of this, the roads are overflowing with rain water. The trade mark potholes are difficult to locate and the vehicles on the roads keep experiencing unpleasant jerks when the vehicles bump in to these potholes.
At quite a few places, the roads have really become wide, but the widened place is used by many for parking either their 4 wheelers or 2 wheelers. The result is the same. The area for vehicle movement is the same as before and the frequent traffic jams are as irritating as before if not more.
Many common people of Mangalore had a feel good factor about the initiatives taken by the DC and other "leaders"(most of them Self-declared) till somewhere around April this year or so. My curious nature often made me ask different people about what they think of the work going on all over. I came across this particular statement quite a few times, “The people those are associated with the City road widening work directly or indirectly have done quite appreciable work”.
Till the monsoon made its presence felt, the city was actually proud of the development work that was taking place. Even though the city feared for its monsoon nightmare, the summer dreams were pretty pleasant.
Today morning, I decided to pay off some of my pending bills and drove across my city in heavy rain and felt not so happy with what I saw. I requested my friend to click some photos as we drove across so that I could share these photographs with the world. All the hard work that was put in for beautifying the city had taken a different turn. I was left shocked saying to myself…. “GOOD WORK OVERSHADOWED”.
Alright.... See you after a while...Till then keep thinking......

MIXED SUMMER
Ah…….. back after a small break. Plenty of things happened during this short break.
I feel like writing a few things here today just to get back in to flow with this blog stuff.
Sadly, my grand mother (Dad’s mother) expired this April in Udupi on a Sunday morning. We got a call from my uncle informing about this when I was having a shower. Dad was off to the hospital in a flash. I and mom got ready and decided to go by VOLVO considering the soaring temperature. Ah man The trip was cool, comfort wise. The bus was a clean one, well maintained and had a quality crowd…. Surely had a comfortable journey.
Through out the journey, I was feeling sad about the loss of my grand mother. Being the eldest grandson I was her favorite and I loved her so much too. While in bus, I was trying to hold myself up. Sadly, the music was killing me…. The 1st song that played was “ALL IS WELL”….ah.. I was totally pissed off. Then comes Dard-E-Disco and all the peppy numbers followed. This is what I call torture………………….. Could not ignore the music nor could forget the death of my grand mom. Felt helpless.
The most sickest part was at the funeral. We were just waiting for some VIPs to pay their last homage so that we could proceed with the last rituals. This wait was the most frustrating one. I was sitting alone in the verandah and thinking about how my grand mother would pamper me when I was a kid and all that………
One of my relatives came and sat next to me. He irritated me with his list of questions. I remembered Paresh Rawal from the movie “Judai”. Believe me I would have preferred death than to be with such sick and irritating characters.
Relative: “where are u working now?”
Me: (In my mind) “Leave me alone u idiot”
Relative: “ How much are u earning?”
Me: (In my mind) “ Get lost u idiot”
Relative: “Do u know my son is doing well in his profession?”
Me: (In my mind) “I don’t care. U leave me alone and get lost”
It went on and on and I just went off from there totally ignoring him. I don’t mind if he felt bad. I needed my space that time and just silently walking off from that scene was the most descent thing I could think of at that very moment.
The next Big thing that kept me going this summer was the IPL controversy. This full controversy kept me glued to TV. Just kept wondering how the BCCI used their “Use & Throw” policy to the fullest. After all their work been done they kicked out Lalit Modi without any hesitation. Yo man yo!!!.
My professional life too was very hectic. Had to work overtime to get some things done quickly and efficiently and thank god the results are just awesome… God has been kind again.
This summer was very fruitful for me from my creative front as well. More about this stuff in my next blog. Yo man yo!!!.

Power Play
Ah… its Monday. Whole of Sunday I was thinking about what I shall write in my next blog and here I am all set to share some interesting things with you.
Saturday afternoon had a 3 hours session with my students. It was tough due to the hot whether condition. But what kept me going was the smile on the face of the students and their interaction with me. So much fruitful was the session that the objective of the session was totally fulfilled and I left home happy looking forward to a lovely Saturday evening watching IPL matches and a peaceful Sunday morning followed by a fun filled Sunday evening.
Now call it a blessing or a casual coincidence, my weekend went exactly the way I wanted it to be……. Cool, relaxing and more importantly rejuvenating.
Saturday evening just passed by watching Kartik calling Kartik and the IPL matches.
Sunday was a great stress buster. As usual went to temple, met some friends over a cup of coffee, had a heavy lunch followed by a cool nap.
Sunday evening I was watching Mumbai Indians take on the Rajasthan royals. Felt so great to have been born in the same era as Sachin Tendulkar. What a man, What a player. I can go endlessly praising him but let me take a take a diversion and share some other things with u.
Looking at Sachin Tendulkar and recalling his greater than the greatest achievements made me think when am I going to achieve something significant in my life? A great piece of motivating concept given to me by my colleague flashed in my mind. My colleague Mr. Ravichandra, a great scholar and a very learned man always tell me this
“ Life is a cricket match. Some hit Jackpot with a flying start where as some start steady and then capitalize when the power play comes in to picture”.
Hmmm…. After thinking for a while I told my heart All is Well dude. So what if the required rate is creeping up? If I am well equipped with capacity and capability and if my romance with my experiences helps me keep my cool, when my Power play arrives I may just hit the Jack Pot.
A busy week ahead and lot to do……. See u all pretty soon. Jai Hind!!

GOING WITH THE FLOW
Hi. I welcome myself to this world of Blogging. On this pleasant Saturday afternoon driven by the urge to remain Hip and trendy I feel like writing a blog just like any other person around me who write blogs.
I have no clue why am I writing a blog. What am I going to achieve by writing here? In the first place I am not very sure myself what is a blog and what makes it a matter of discussion when a group of few intelligent people meet over a cup of coffee or tea.
I have always wanted people to remember me as a "Cool Brand". My inner self always urges me to do parliamentary correct unique things which leave a smile on the faces of people I care for. Will I be able to continue spreading smiles by writing blogs? I don't know. Unless I give it a go, I would never know.
So here I am. So excited I am right now that nearly 10 to 15 ideas are jumping across in my mind. Before I surrender to 1 idea and start penning it down the 2nd idea overcomes the first one. My ideas are fighting in my mind reminding me of Darwin's "Survival of the fittest".
Till the time I sort my IDEAS OVERFLOW I bid adieu to this blogging world promising to come back with a bang fully equipped with my knowledge bag. Jai Ho!!!! Jai Hind!!!!.
