Life at time of corona

As saying goes - hard time teaches the most valuable lessons and brings us together. This pandemic and resulting lockdown brought entirely new perspective on community living, family, colleagues, friends. While nothing really changed from deliverable's/work perspective as if world is still the same but how we communicate with each other did changed. On side note, received a quote from whatsapp university which says - "If you would like to know how it feels to be a IT Employee during the Novel coronavirus pandemic… Remember when the Titanic was sinking and the band continued to play? - We’re the band". Interestingly, similar kind of customised quotes were being forwarded for bank,  healthcare, hospitality, police, retailer employee's, etc. Which made me think probably all of us were part of band and no one was taking care of ship which led to sinking of the ship. Few might have watched Titanic followed by these forwards, if they have not watched in past. Some extra revenue for streaming portals. ;-)

On professional front, each touch-points with colleagues/team/client typically started with small talk on - how everyone is doing and whether all was OK at their end unlike pre-lockdown phase where meetings mostly started with set agenda. On personal front, realisation of fact that movement is blocked intracity itself, forget about intercity/state/country was worrying with parents away. Those familial concerns became prominent which I didn’t observed before came in forefront. Similar worries of friends/office colleagues for their siblings/parents were noticeable too.

Me and my wife being at home at same time during day meant weekend for my preschooler kid, there was constant nudge during initial days from his end to go out to his cousin's house as per the usual routine for each weekend. It was a challenge to make him understand that it's a regular work day and we can't go out anywhere because there are no transport means. Obviously, incessant calls/meetings for both my wife and mine made it easy and helped him to understand the fact that it is working day and parents are not going out as something wrong outside. He too gradually found new ways to engage himself and thankfully with daily traffic game (queued toys) which he played, I don't think I have missed Bangalore traffic at all.

Once adjusted to new normal, predictability returned in day and had some free time to listen to son's chatter and reasoning’s that why I should be playing with him more or even write something on blog page which was crying for some posts since past many years. I have become more appreciative of efforts which my wife put at work/home (well, it was mutual and will probably help in future) and made an attempt to distribute house chores among ourselves to avoid anyone burning out. Now we are truly 'maid' for each other. Took some master class on blockchain, enterprise architecture and Heroku when had opportunity to take them. Last but not the least, rearranged the bookshelf and placed books at key locations to get ample cues to pick and read those half read books which certainly helped.

To end, taking multiple perspectives into consideration’s Dicken’s quote is certainly relevant now - It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..

P.S. - This is unabridged version of writeup which I shared with for my unit newsletter. 

G20 Summit and Some random stuff

Though I was suppose to write account of my first week classes, here I am writing a random post on G20 summit and random stuff. Future doesn't look bright on my resolution to use this page as note-'book' for my classes.

While reading some random stuff, I came across this article - India to provide $10B for eurozone bailout. Hon. PM Manmohan Singh came up with revelation during G20 summit which was kinda surprising. A counter article to on this action was published by firstpost with starting line as - 'When one’s beard is on fire, it is folly to ask for a matchstick to light one’s bidi.' 

The statement was kinda funny but it summed up the situation in true spirit. With India facing a double digit inflation, slow industrial (or is it negative) growth, falling GDP numbers, policy paralysis complains and the rampant political situation and corruption puts India itself in danger of economic mess. What surprise me is when countries like USA, UK have refused to add any money to IMF coffer what's the point of committing such action on own by country like India which itself faces problem of its own? I am not saying USA and UK are the country to follow, but this time they are really acting as per situation. I feel in turbulent time like these Nouriel Roubini idea's are showing real significance. On my personal thoughts - when own house is on fire you shouldn't run for saving neighbors house. On lighter note may be economic advisory council have watched 10 Lakh movie famous beggars song - "Garibon ki Suno wo tumahri sunega, tum ek paisa doge wo 10 lakh dega" before recommending this bailout fund money. And hoped this $10B will infuse $10B*1M to Indian economy. But I always have feeling that Indians (or is it Humans) have 'that' spirit in them which will make them tackle any problem when there are no escape. :-)

On other (or shall I say Real) side of life - days are passing quite fast. By the time I notice, I see another Friday looming ahead with loads of cases pending on to-be-read-before-class and assignment to be completed. Life is tough and will be tougher in days to come, not sure if my batch-mates shares the same thought or not? I probably won't say TGIF for next 2.5 years (hopefully it will be only 2.5 :D). Probably hostel oriented course would have helped to keep the anxiety level down. With many stakeholders extending their support for my IIM run, it is becoming a moral obligation to do good rather than anything else and eventually aiding to the pressure. Luckily I always gets company of good people around me. Many thanks to each and everyone helping me in some way! IIM is teaching me to be humble.. hehe

God

Disclaimer : - Do not read this post if you are sensitive with respect to God and Religion. As content of this post is going to hurt your feeling. And also don't look for me to kill because of post content. Thanks to all orthodox, god fearing people for not reading any word after this. If you still read further then screw you and I am not responsible for any damage done.

I'm back - this is what T-800 Model 101 of terminator would have had told at this moment. And with what, true machine sense and doubtful on every subject which comes around. Rather than giving more of BS I will come straight on the point. I think I need a change in my blog design. This design doesn't have new post link, which is possibly stopping me from writing a new post (or say  BS).

I have started watching Mahabharata TV serial recently, to complete it end-to-end for all the episodes which I missed due to electricity outage during childhood. Its indeed an epic saga and I suggest everyone should watch it, in fact watching it now was making more sense to me and definitely in nonsense way. I am planning to come with my own version of Mahabharata pretty soon, with each episode and action analyzed from different angle.

Coming on the topic God - if someone mention about Mahabharata then not mentioning about lord Krishna would be more like a sacrilege. I was wondering why Gods are never showed ugly and dead beaten by poverty. Guess God were defined as those class of people who are affluent, good looking and with hottest girls in town as their companion. Similarly I never saw any Goddess as ugly and cry-baby instead they are the hottest girl in town and never land a dumb ahole like what you see beautiful girls landing with, Instead they too get a God and hottest dude in the town as their companion. Why? Also they are either born at some king's palace or are raised at house of richest person in the town if there parents are in Jail. Why? Why? They have magical power and weapons to fight people, can't they work like how Iron-Man or Batman works? Or are they want to justify their power by saying they are from Krypton like Superman or from Jupiter like Sabu ? List is endless with lot many super hero available in this world. Well I would like to mention one more superhero before I go back to BS - he is Kick-ass. Why can't God be like that. :P Why? Why? Why? 

Why Gods are like hot-chick magnet that wherever he will go hot chicks will flock around , this is so unfair for common people and also to effort given by Barney Stinson. Why God's have brainwashed people so that they can't see the unfair ground. Why whatever they do are fair and same stuff if done by common person attracts wrath of the society and is mostly a laughing stock.

After watching Mahabharata I was totally confused why did Krishna came to real world, was the terror instigated by Kansa was beyond the level what terrorists are doing in current era? Looking at the suffering of current era people, I can definitely say that this is the time when God is suppose to come in this world. If not now then when?Or are God's afraid that they will not be able to handle the situation? Or they do not want to hold the sinking ship? If not then what was the use of taking birth as Krishna in Mahabharata time and Rama in Ramayana period. 

One important point - how Media will react if God will come into existence in this era? Will they be attacking God's privacy like they are doing for all celebrity or will they keep their mouth shut in fear of getting screwed by God's wrath? How many fan following will be there on Orkut, Facebook, Twitter? Will his twitter account will be verified like Sachin Tendulkar or will he prefer to have non-verified account like Salman Khan. How many people will be impersonating God and How many will be requesting  God with this message 'Please re-tweet this once God'. Hahaha.. Yeah these are genuine question - mind you. :P How many video hits will be there on YouTube and other video hoisting sites for any God's appearance? And most important what actually God will be doing? Will he be killing the terrorist and corrupt politician or will he hold back the fire and will take  bribe from them to live his life peacefully like other great heroes are doing?  Or would be updating his twitter status that what is this happening in this world? (definitely he wouldn't be able to prefix it with Oh God!) haha .Or will God be playing lottery and jackpot or will be betting on sports like  Emraan Hasmi in Jannat, as he would be knowing all the results beforehand. Cm'on, he is God.. forgot? More I delve into thoughts, more confused I get and more questions comes. So leaving this point here only for reader to ponder upon.

One more thing, lets take the case that God came into this world, then what happened to their progeny? Do they live among us? If yes, then what happened to the God's traits and magical skills? Why God didn't pass on the traits and skills to their children. Wouldn't it would have had been a beautiful world with God's progeny being a boss of this world. this was unfair from God's end. Or did God believed in keeping certain knowledge to himself to avoid things getting common later. Or did he foreseen the patenting rule applied on the genes and scientist doing behavioral analysis to develop similar mechanism into every human being making everyone as a God, causing more confusion. 

Note : My post shouldn't point that I am an atheist and well it definitely does not represent though that I am a theist either.  But yeah I can definitely put my status as confused over religion and God. And mind you - any comment specifically pointed to any religion in the comment section will be honored by me with a solo post on your God and your country  in mostly mutated sense, so no sh*t! Last but not the least, no hate comments are allowed.

Resolutions

I was thinking, when is the right time for making resolutions, though I didn't get the right time for making resolutions but I definitely got the wrong time for resolutions. New year Eve, Your Birthday and any special day in your life shouldn't be day when you should be making resolution. And to top it, your worst day, depressing day also are not the right time to make the resolution. You will get to know why (in totally unusual and incongruous way).

If I check the resolution list on internet, I find myriads of resolutions for the people who are living a public life through blogs, twitter, social networking site etc (Not to mention, I have lot of free time after office to do these things) And most common of the resolutions are one or more among the list mentioned below:-

To give up the habit of drinking / smoking / overeating / procrastination / laziness / latest one is virtual world involvement(too much time spent on internet or computer).

Last item joined the list of of negative habit since 3-4 years only, else it was a positive quality earlier and was in Geek's lexicon only to show supremacy over others. Seems life is getting tougher with each passing year. Good quality are becoming bad and bad are becoming worst. World was much better earlier with less knowledge and less addicting things invented around us.

Anyways, coming to topic - Giving up such habit would be the most depressing thing one would be doing on eventful days (on either of good or ugly day). Depressing because you were habituated to one or more things and you actually enjoyed doing that. And who in the world said that stop doing things which you enjoy doing most (Obviously those things only, which will not make life bad or difficult for others and impacting no one but you.)

No wonder we have more number of people who are not able to keep the resolutions compared to miserable number of those who actually keep it for long time. Because once the threshold is reached you are back to your age old habits. :-)

But I suppose people make resolution on eventful day just to remember since when did they gave up on enjoyment and to feel proud for keeping the resolution for X number of days before giving up on resolution. ;-)

Movie and Property price

hehe, I wanted to come with something good but couldn't resist myself coming with this short post. Also, I usually do not like blog post with picture, but exception are there. and exception is as below.


I got this picture from my apartment maintenance team saying property prices might soar after its LAUNCH in movie 3 idiots. It took me some time(or can I say lot of time?) to identify what they were showing in the picture. hehe.. LAUNCH??? That's a good one. I do not know what will be the property price for IIM Bangalore now. :P

BTW one thing is sure they have downloaded the movie illegally and were seeing it on their computer and some over over-enthusiastic member posted it to the group. Wish someone from anti-piracy team go for a system check and screw them so that they never try to send any stupid posts like this. ;-)

Opportunity for film producer/directors now, you can churn out money even before the movie or songs are release. Just make a deal with such apartment owner to show their building. Who says ideas are over and no more opportunities are left for making money. =))

3 idiots

Forewarning:- By any chance if you haven't watched this movies then stop here itself. There might be some spoiler. But if you are a regular HINDI movie goer, I wouldn't call that as suspense anyways.

3 Idiots? That's just for the the name sake. Reality is something different. But why why why? Why this happens only in movies? Hero wins all as usual and hero is the best of lot. Now coming to few points about movie and loopholes:-

1) Ground work about the engineering could have been done at higher level. Movie forgot important fact that night before the exam is most sacred of all your semester night. If you do not study on this night, no one can save you from failing. In engineering terminology, the amount you devoted a night before the exam is directly proportional to the marks which you will obtain. With threshold differing from person to person, for some its 1 am for some its 5 am. A night before exam in hospital not studying, you can pass but certainly not top until you are in the exception list. More about exceptions will come in point three.
2) No one join engineering thinking about insane ideas like knowledge and learning. Students are immature and their minds are not corrupted with words like Value and Learning. Everyone join it for job and recognition of degree. Leave the terms like value addition, learning etc for MBA aspirants and PHD Scholars.
3) Those who are topper are mostly non-fun kinda people who have a bypass for rule number 1. Because they have devoted all day and night to studies and preparing notes and have read the theory so many times that they can even teach their children after 30 years without looking at book, . And these noble souls are the one whose notes, oops xerox is going through hands of 99% to-be engineer. No offense meant to toppers. In fact everyone will praise you highly entire life for your notes which made those 99% lot getting engineering degree. You were like saints who never thought about wordly desire and gave life for the greater cause - well being of mankind, a philanthropist I should say.
4) Dare to give counter reply to your professor, you can be sure of one thing between two - egoistic, insane and ahole prof/lecture is highly pissed off and will either complain about you to Dean or will make every attempt to screw you while checking your exam papers. However good you are but you won't be topping like Rancho.
5) Names? My goodness, dude how did you came till this far. Children though less known for cruelty but are nonetheless most brutal at emotional level, names like Ranchor Das Chanchad will be hot cake. :D Forget about Schooling for a while engineering will definitely carry some funny name(and may be butt of all jokes) for you rather than being Rancho like some hot dude.
6) Taking cuts at your director, leave lecturer or even professor, but director?? and director needs reason to rusticate you out of college? And pressurize others to stand against you? Dude - day one, one Disco (Disciplinary Committee) And Day two, you will get lucky and OUT!!! Immediately Out of Hostel minimum and suspended from college. College prof takes pleasure in doing such things, one such example in my knowledge, merely for playing Holi(A festival) with no college property loss or physical or mental abuse to prof ,18 noble souls where rusticated from the hostel and suspended from the college for week along with fine. But again these are the things which makes the college life exciting and adventurous. Definitely after coming out not when in college and while passing through such mental trauma.
7) Committing suicide? That too for studies or year back? Cm'on I have seen people partying hard when they had year back and over it 17/18 arrears (fail grade) out of 19 subjects in year. No one commit suicide. Everyone is damn happy. But yeah after coming out engineers are the one who run through identity crisis and may think about suicide all the time. No one in sane mind would give so much importance to studies when in engineering college. Or may be people are camouflaging their suicide by reasons like not able to learn google wave.
8) Real time project? Which world are you leaving in? Are you sure you was talking about Indian engineering? No one works on new idea, they are left for masters degree holder or doctoral candidates. I have seen people taking fake report and fake presentation to get the final degree.
9) Well its not the case that engineering degree from low end college like my college was/is only like this. Even IIT's are like this. Please do not defend on the basis of ranking if it was comparable to IIT's or not . It would still be BS for me.
10) Aha forgot the most important thing, Doing such stunt in ragging? haha, one thing you can be sure of right away - you are not studying in this college for sure.
11) Director complained about the student's performance to his/her parent and talk harshly saying their ward will not get the degree because of poor performance and next day guy found dead as he committed suicide and still police is not arresting the director?Where is media? This is totally bad, you should show some reality in movie.
12) Beautiful girls in engineering college are like rare engineering concepts which will stick to your brain cells when professor is giving lecture, I mean near to nil(for god sake, do I need to tell it again and again). And they going for Chanchad? As in Ranchor Das Chanchad? That's complete insanity and height of fantasy. Girls do go after rich kids but atl east not Chanchad, or probably I am ill-informed. Hey, no offense meant to reader who is unfortunately Chanchad.or have best friend as Chanchad. Anyway, Some great writer had said, "What In Name" but unfortunately he added his signature as Shakespeare so that no one else can own it. hehe

This post was written so that people do not get wrong idea about engineering portrayed by 3 idiots. hehe. Well, I can write tons and tons of matter about engineering and its greatness no need to give proof about it. ;-)

Good movie, a must watch. Low comparing Amir's standard but still can be seen. Dialogs are good in fact would call the best, because even after watching it once, dialog would stick to your mind like mischievous engineering plan's. To end, go and see this movie, because baad mein sochoge ki, accha review the movie ka, hall mein lagi bhi thi, bus ticket black mein mil rahi thi, lekin fir bhi thodi si himmat karke thode aur rupye deta to ticket mil jaati aur movie dekh leta. (Translation, though will nto make much sense : Go and see the mvoie, because you may regret later that movie review was good, it was running as well in the cinema hall, tickets were being sold in double or triple cost, but if would have given some more money would have got the opportunity to watch the movie on big screen)

P.S. :- Its not easy degree but not tough as well. Anyways, engineers always work on the concept of Rockets. Do not start work until your ass is on fire. ;-)

P.P.S : - On serious note, if Aamir/Directors would have taken note of all 12 points and boring stuff about engineering, you wouldn't have had been watching this movie N'th time in same week.

P.P.P.S : - (Disclaimer)Whole post was written on lighter note, and shouldn't be taken seriously. If any of my comment hurt your emotions, please leave your comments in comments section I would edit that part.

P.P.P.P.S : - And here I make world record for my own blogs by posting post notes after post notes. And reason is, its tough to be in real world and have to write disclaimer to make people aware that I can make the change if they did not like anything (Only if ,you think I am trying to defame you).

Life's Ideology

I am not sure if the topic suits the body post but did not get anything better than that. This post is not written to hurt anyone's religious sentiments and post would be removed in case it is being asked unanimously. :-)

Suddenly why this topic came into my mind the reason was I had a discussion with a preacher who was talking on the good thing about his religion and it was good knowing about other religion. But in the end what left me in uneasy position was his question on my take on change in religion to his one. Though I gave some reason but guess real reason was left unsaid. But guess reason given was good enough though funny.

I have gone to few of the religious gathering and someway or other found them talking the same thing. Most of the preachers talk about following God,Allah, Bhagwan and their deity's saying and their holy books . And the funny part is in most of the cases it ends with discussion on life after death like Swarg and Narak in Hindu's, Haven and Hell in Christians & Jannat and Dozakh in Islam. What amuse me the way description about these places are given and life's definition. I didnot meet even a single preacher till now who gave importance to current life and told me to live it to full. All I heard was I have to be thankful to God(read deity of their religion from now on for word God) . And I should look forward for Haven (Read corresponding places for their religion ) and do good deeds and pray God, because life is very short and our 100 year life is just 2-3 minutes as per God's time. And life after death is infinite years of God time (think about it in our time and I suppose Avogadro number won't be able to define it). So whatever may be the religion round about things go in same fashion. And everyone defines the life after death as if the Haven exists is a concrete truth and over it the Haven is the place you need to be. If I go through various religion I see a myriads of religion and their corresponding hell and haven which make me think if these are different place or same. May be one is more affluent over another. ;-)

And irony is no one talk's about current life, rather than being a good citizen and a good person talk is given on what is best about their religion. I have a say over here - life which we are living right now should be the one which should be given utmost importance rather than giving importance to life after death, because no one have ever returned saying - Man!!! Its awesome out there, that's the place you should come man, this place sucks and things like this. So have party, enjoy life, be a good person. Rather then living under terror of Haven and Hell. And to be honest I believe its normal human nature to get bored with their current situation and place with time - for some its quick and for some its not so quick. And I don't think if the identity exists then the nature will not - it will be. So think about it, you are bored of Haven but you can't leave it and then you will realize - Sh*t I am screwed. So utilize this 2-3minutes as per God time in nice way so that it won't hurt you more when you are in Haven or Hell. ;-)

Now coming to reason for me not changing my religion - well I am Hindu and there are almost 0.33 billion (33 crore) Gods and Goddess - so I have opportunity at each point of my life to choose another God or Goddess if I get bored of one(though I pay a very little heed to it so chances are less).

And the reason which I did not speak was - I am a Hindu though do not as such follow it with GREAT attention, sometime gets frustrated with it and speaks bad about it. Never ever read about the religion, never participated in rituals and that too when I have so many opportunities to choose God's from. And definitely other God would help me through his/her sources to get into Haven or Hell. What will happen if I will change my religion to yours? I will say something after getting frustrated about it and there wouldn't be any other God to support and get me the esteemed position in God's nest. I suppose I will be screwed then. Bottom line is I do not care about life after death. And I am happily unhappy with my life and have no remorse. ;-)

Note:- I carry a very liberal attitude about religion and take the view that religion should not be something which would restrict you to some boundary, it should give you enough space for thinking, for doing work and other than normal social norms and one defined by law shouldn't take anything as sin. And holistically all religion have the same ideology.

P.S. - Again I was too lazy to check the grammar and spelling, if you find anything wrong then post it in comment area, I am not going to correct it anyways.

Gandhi's Talisman

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

- One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought.


Hello All,
Was away for long time with my sarcastic notes though I had lot many ideas but was too lazy to write it down. Few notes before I start with the post main body. First, I live in Bangalore since past 2 year and its my nature to get bored with anything any place where I stays for more than a year(or is it less). Second, I don't think I need to tell about who "Mahatma Gandhi" is/was in this post. Third, Above talisman was present in all the NCERT course book like a preface of any book. Never felt it carries some significance to me. But guess it had. And the talisman still carries the charm with it but in different perspective. ;-)

Last weekend was a happening one with me agreeing to come to Tirupati with my friends who happened to show the gratitude to GOD for making them successful in their endeavor(Read top rung Management college ranked between 1 to 8). And I joined them as this was going to be the last trip(first and last obviously) which I was making with them as they will be heading to northern part mostly and also to show gratitude to GOD for not making me successful in my endeavour(again read some management college).

There were 7 of us, 4 from Bangalore including me and 3 from Chennai (Heaven on the earth). This trip to Tirupati was TOTALLY unplanned we did not have tickets for the temple. Few souls who are not from India and visit my blog read about tirupati because this temple(place of worship) is one of its kind where there is a needs to have ticket/reservation to see the GOD. You will definitely find how great the GOD is because you need to take appointment to see him and that too for fraction of seconds. Govindaa Gooovindaaaa!!!

Due to my work commitment I was not free till 8PM Friday so asked friends to book the train which leaves last from Bangalore to Chennai. Boarded the train at 11:45 PM in night and from there our joy ride started. As its summer season so it was hot in Bangalore too which I thought was unbearable so didn't sleep till the train started running at full pace. Nearly at 12:30AM I slept and was woke up after hardly an hour. I was drenched with sweat as if I had some ghostly dreams. But truth was something else train had entered the lovely and cool weather of TN which was the main cause of my sweating heavily. Couldn't sleep whole night somehow reached Chennai early morning. Took local train and then an auto-rickshaw to finally reach my friends house. But the situation was If it was allowed in India/Chennai, I would have done striptease. Basically the word striptease doesn't fit hear but guess those who are dying in Chennai might understand my plight. Took a bath as soon as I reached his house had breakfast, another round of bath, had tasty food which friend cooked and then again a round of bath. Played cards (famous game of 29) for couple of hours and then we decided to leave for Tirupati in 2 hours. 2 hours time line because again everyone had to take the bath before leaving (after dinner obviously). Somehow I feel in Chennai, people(not all, only disgusting people like us) thinks food and bath are lovely pair which shouldn't be broken. Another friend of mine who was popular for saving water by not taking bath for weeks (or is it months) during engineering days was religiously following the 5 times bath a day schedule. ;-)

Trip from Chennai to Tirupati:-

However much I will say about the trip it will be less only. I guess one phrase what written for such moment only 'Few things in this world are unexplainable and the real feeling can be felt only if you are present at that moment'. Though we started from Chennai after having a nice bath, but the happy feeling was gone as soon as we stayed in the outside weather for say 20 minutes(or is it less, or am I exaggerating?). Somehow reached the bus stand and then we came to know that the bus which is about to leave is the last bus for Tirupati. We boarded it hurriedly and took the ticket. Lucky US!!! But the lucky feeling too was gone after taking the ticket because we got last seat, and you will never know what fun you get when you are traveling on bumpy and hilly road while seating on the last seat. And that too with all enthusiastic people who are excited about going to Tirupati, or is it travelling for first time? Whatever, they were making noise at the peak and at the same time hot weather was aiding to our plight. But guess it was not enough, the bus which we boarded and which was about to leave didnot leave and we were inside the bus for 20-30 minutes contemplating bus will leave now. Grrr.. But wait wait, this too was not enough because we saw another bus with no passenger at all coming to the same stand :'( And unfortunately we cant change the bus too, because we already took the ticket. Grrr.. And you know what, bus which came later left before us. :'( :'(

Thank GOD , after full 35 minutes our bus started finally and then something happened that they stopped after 2 KM hardly. And now we thought enough is enough, its almost 11:30 PM and now weather is cool outside. So lets get outside till the bus starts. After doing some goods loading the bus started at 12 AM. We thought at last we will be reaching tirupati on our planned time and with ample amount of sleep too. But our luck did not leave there too. Enthusiastic people never stopped talking and thanks to the co-passenger beside us and the heat due to whole commotion we were never able to sleep and whole night was gone awake.

We reached the tiruapti/tirumala somehow and started looking for ticket. And then yuppie!!! That thing happened which we were expecting may happen to us. We didnot get the ticket as ticket are sold in tirupati not in tirumala for same day darshanam. And we were thinking what to do now, because if we go back to tirupati and take the ticket it wouldn't have been possible to do the darshanam same day, as informed by few people there. Suddenly, we were approached by our well wishers who want to give us opportunity for darshan today itself. And he asked for 5000 Rs for the well wishing off course. We were taken aback and told thank you and we wont be taking the offer for two reason's. One it was too much and other we didnot carry that much cash combining all 7 of us. And there is reason for that too, software engineer do all the thing either online or through card for him there is little existence of material thing called hard cash!!! We finalized to go for free darshanam and we started for it. And take my experience, never ever try for free darshnam!!! you will be crushed in the queue until and unless you are body builder.

Free dharshanam!!! Was it free? you will get to know it soon. It was nearly 6'0 clock in morning when we got into the queue for free dharshnam. And then reached the cell, yeah its called cell only like one you have in jail, with only difference motif's and out come are different for going into the cell and coming out too. And we were welcomed by big board outside the cell, which said 9'0 clock dharshanam. Wait wait, it was not for 9 AM even though we reached the cell at 6:30 AM. It was for 9 PM, a whooping 15 hour wait for getting into the main queue for dharshanam. And we were like, WTF!!! What shall we do now, shall we go back, shall we stay or what shall we do now. And that indecision moment helped us greatly. Gate keeper started shouting to get into the cell and we told we have to stay inside that cell for 15 hours. Guessing our urgency and feeling we might go away without the dharshanam he asked us to stay outside the cell for a while. After 5 minute, he closed that cell too and then called us, and told 200Rs each person, for putting into main queue and also told we will be done with the dharshanam by 10 AM today itself. Exciting offer!!! but we were little suspicious because we never heard anything like bribery in Tirumala atleast taking into account how auspicious place it was and how people fear about doing anything wrong there. And one thing I want to clear people go to Tirumala because they want to thank the almighty and also sure that the mere dharshanam will clear all the wrong doers they did in their entire life. So it was fine by our part giving the bribe by us. ;-)

The guy was true marketing professional, and he told put away your suspicion, he wont be taking any money until the moment he puts us in main queue, from where it will be mere 2 hours wait for dharshanam. And that's what he did. Now everything in fast forward and boring way(or was it boring earlier), we paid the money, we had the dharshnam and we left as quickly as we can, reached tirupati from tirumala, got into AC restaurant, had good food (though it was not good), and did not leave until we got an AC bus, reached Chennai, had something good (this time is was good), boarded the bus to reach Chennai station to catch the train, got into the train and reached Bangalore. Oops, missed one thing again between reaching Chennai and having good food, and you know what was that. Nice Bath!!!

And reason for writing everything in fast forward, it was too long for a post and second I don't think I will be able to review it before publishing this post and also don't think readers will be having enough patience to read through our plight!!! Though I sincerely believe in on psychological statement, one's plight is others reason for enjoyment.

This is the end!!! Thank you if you were able to last till this point.

P.S.:- It was half written a months back but never felt like completing it. But finally completed it. And also I am sorry for spelling mistake, grammatical mistake wherever it happened. Dharshanam means seeing the God's temple, Temple is at hill called Tirumala, and Tirupati is the starting point of the hill. I guess this will be enough. :-)

P.P.S.:- Why Gandhi's Talisman??? Well I was kinda feeling that Bangalore is getting hotter and it is loosing its charm. But guess it was not the case, it is still better comparitively (on weather front).

Being IIM

So what's the first thought came into your mind after reading the title of this post?  Indian Institute of Management(IIM)? Story of IIM student? About fight to get into IIM? MBA? C'mon give a break. Time to grow up. This post doesn't have to do anything with mentioned above. This is a story about Indian IT Male(IIM), a profile which is very common in India now. And yeah this spicy post shouldn't be taken as true reality though it might be. :P

Engineering a very easy degree in India, which can be obtained from grey market(fake one) other then getting it first hand with your effortless effort of 4 years in engineering college. Here engineering doesn't mean working on new idea or developing something on idea already existing, but just to cram some formulae, theory a night before exam and just vomit everything(I am not talking about vomiting literally %$#%) you crammed a night before in the paper to clear it and come out with a bright,shining degree. Engineering degree can be analogous of "India Shining" campaign which was as hollow as the degree. So coming to what an engineer learn at educational front? Answer is in one word NOTHING. Now don't come to me saying that you have learnt a lot in your engineering life. ;-) 

But few things they become good at, and that are, giving bolvachan (say, philosophical thought), how to download movies & songs and from where, crashing the computer and rest are clandestine and shouldn't be spoken over here. :P And Achievement after completing the engineering degree are, thousands of movies and songs stored in there TB(in our time it was GB) capacity hardisk, a long list of movies they have seen, few friends and of course a degree. Its pity if you did not do it in your engineer life. And am really sorry if you have wasted your FOUR precious year studying some engineering concept or some research paper which you will never use. 

And there are two path after completing the degree, one come and join IT or go for higher studies to again do the same stuff. :P And those who join the IT give rise to flavoured IIM. But someway or other one admirable quality of Indian engineers are, they can DO anything under given timeline and that is the thing which make them survive the IT. 

And now comes what they do and what they think.  Starting from fresher till they become experienced player.

Before joining the company they are full of  enthusiastic to do something great in life. Yeah they start thinking about LIFE, a questionable and debatable topic. Pass the training period which lies anywhere between 1-4 months, get into some project and then suddenly 8 more month passes (yes without doing any work and not to miss, learning), which completes the first year. By that time looking around no work, no learning situation the seed of higher education planted. And only thing which they find is, yeah, its the one and only one, CAT. Donate some money to coaching institute, and later more donation to colleges for filling the form, and bingo when the exam is just a month away, WORK as a blood thirsty demon in face of project lead comes from nowhere. Feel frustrated with it, but somehow do the work and preparing side by side for exam. Write the paper and fail to reach the expected percentile and then donate more money for application form where their percentile requirement they can fulfill. Take adhoc leave in Jan/Feb/March to attend the selection process and process follows as mentioned in my previous post 'yem bee yee'.  Get admission but realize that college doesn't match there aspiration, drop the plan for admission thinking in mind to prepare again. And this marks the completion of TWO years in IT. By the time third year begin the very thought of preparing starts dieing, third year passes with retrospection. Feel more frustrated, plan for shifting the company and some take this measure while some do not. Think about career option beyond Master's course and the monotonous IT life. More they think more interesting ideas they get. Few are listed as below in priority level.

• To go back to village and start farming.
• To open a PAN shop.
• To open a tiffin shop or restaurant.
• To commit suicide???
• To continue working in IT

Whatever career option they think, they do continue with the least priority thing which is continue working in IT.  And this complete there fourth year in IT. Fifth year may result in them thinking that them becoming stagnant in career and then taking some part time course to improve the resume and in side working on marriage plan, as by the time they become lead they become lonely with everyone flocking around mostly with selfish motifs.  And then the never ending cycle continues. Guess I will be able to comment over the final destination after reaching there till then, No Comments!!!

Possibly story of IIF(Indian IT Female) also goes on same line, till they get married and from there IIF and IIM takes different path because for female life become secure while for male probably it become insecure. hehehe Making males taking some different measures. ;-)

Yem Bee Yee!!!

"Yem Bee Yee " a disease which have the ability to to become chronic if proper action not take now. Or I guess its too late!!! It can be easily be observed from the figure. CAT taker for year 2006 was around 1.7 lakh which increased to 2.2 lakh in 2007 and reached a figure of 2.8 lakh. A consistent increase of nearly 25% every year. And if you believe the analysts, the figure will reach 3.5 to 4 lakh in coming year. And so is the case of coaching market which is growing leap and bound and have reached nearly half a billion rupees. Colleges which were never heard say 3-4 years back are now tough to get into. And the colleges which were tough to get into 3-4 year back are now nearly impossible to get. :D

Lets just do a quick check who is gaining due to all this operation? I would say Coaching institute, Colleges. Why? Well I gave the analysis part in paragraph above. And who are the losers? Aspirants off course and the company where these aspirants(if working) are working. Doubt? I salute the person who gave the statement, GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER THE OTHER SIDE. Might be written for donkey's but fits aptly for MBA aspirants. Running or say quitting attitude and the greener picture post MBA make them think suddenly life will take a turn in Z-axis from current 2 dimensional monotonous system. They think post MBA will make them get a fat pay cheque with not much of effort. And coaching institute, media air their desire, and they start running for never ending run of MBA putting aside there work, ignoring opportunities, responsibility. Though the beginning give a filling low input and high output scenario, but once into it realize that what they were looking was just a tip of iceberg, and viola!!! the Titanic riding for dream destination 'MBA' hue and cry over the exorbitant application fees of colleges which comes with a deadline date much before the main exam. Greed made them fuel the ship so as to reach the destination quickly. And there is a twist in the story, this time the approaching iceberg is not that big to affect the ship and ship sail through with little damage on pocket for which anyway there company is paying.

Comes the exam date, and then few realizes that damage which they thought was not that small as they were thinking they need to do some repair, some more application are filled now. By the time the whole application process gets over, aspirant realize that the damage on pocket was also not small and was huge for applications only, say a modest figure of 20k-25k, nearly a month salary (minimum). No heed to the damage is given as still the bright and greener picture is in view. Thank God, calls starts coming out. And somehow the applicant make it finally to few colleges selection process. Start preparing for the process, and start thinking about why MBA, why this college, aim in life, ideals, where they want to see them after 5-10 year, plan to achieve and crap like this. And surprisingly no one comes out with the correct and honest answer. Few examples:-

Q. Why MBA?

Honest Answer:- I feel that a fat cheque will be waiting for me after completion of course and moreover I am good for nothing and my condition is similar to what my manager is. And I don't want to work at all that's why I want to do MBA. And also all my friends were doing it without knowing why they are doing so I was also doing it. :P

Answer which is actually spoken(Touch of honesty Zero)? :- Something on line of growth opportunity, aspirations in life which can't be achieved without MBA and it goes on an on. 

Q.Why this college?

Honest answer:- I am not getting any other college and someone told me the placement figures are good for this college as compared to other one.

Answer which is given:- College ethics and ideals matching with mine or something on this line

Q. Where after 5 year

Honest Answer:- 5 years? are you mad? I don't even think what I am going to do in evening, planning for year 5 year from now is crazy. Screw you!!!

Answers which is given :- entrepreneur and going hand in hand with Bill Gates or Mittal or Tata or something similar to line above. :P

Lot many question are there, its a hell lot of work. Will come out with the dossier in days to come.

Lets get back to the agenda. After few more interview, final call list comes those who are selected jumps with joy and those rejected try again next year, because once you are addicted its tough to get out of it, more like a narcotics. Lets talk about those who were jumping with joy, reach the college, then come the rigor of course. Think I am screwed why did I come here? Summers start, get the feeling how easy it was thrashing the lead those days rather than getting a summers. Every day pass with a feeling, thank GOD at least one day has passed. And then comes the placement days. And from nowhere iceberg appears only to crash there dream run. Manage to get the job somehow which feels like peanut including the tax figures and expectation from the recruiter. Think of the golden days of IT and sighing on decision to come to MBA taking into consideration only placement figure. And the titanic sink again this time.

Disclaimer:- This post is written on a lighter note, take it sportively and don't take it as real picture of MBA. Two years which you are going to spend will be the best days in your life no matter what the placement figures are. It will be surely a refreshing break from the work. And this gives you another opportunity to make life long friends (in loads) after your graduation with IQ level similar to yours. And last but not the list, writer is not trying to defame any institution nor demeaning the aspirants. Post will be deleted if more than 100 comments comes against it. :P

Bell Bazao!!!

I hope many of you might have seen the advertisement by BELL BAJAO initiative on television(Indian Chaneels only) these days. Boman Irani alias Dr. J (dot) austana [Coutesy : Munna Bhai MBBS] urge people to ring the bell to halt the domestic violence. And I know people will love to see what the starting line of web page has to say. 

"Bell Bajao" (Ring the Bell) urges men to take a stand against domestic violence. Ring the bell and intervene in situations of abuse. A simple act from your side is all it takes to bring it to a halt.

I would like to ask three question :-

1) Why only MEN need to take a stand against domestic violence. Can't women take stand here? Or I guess Women Organization are already working with there protests and slogan war against men(alas, he is always the culprit), so some people thought lets come up with this idea of men against a CRUEL man. ;-)

2) Why its been projected that domestic violence is solely caused due to man. And women doesn't have to play any role there? At a time I would have accepted if it could have been rural area, but urban area I guess, you try your hand and you will get one on you too. [WELL I never got into such situation, if u r cooking something like that in your mind as of now then]

3) Why we hear only crying lady and a beating man? Can't they come up with opposite idea? It will be heard for sure. :D

Domestic Violence initiatives? Do we need it? We already have so many laws and initiatives in this regards.And seldom law is found in use anywhere and if used then that too at upper or higher middle class, and that too many a time to gain some monetary benefits. So whose morality is in question here? And also its a known fact outsiders interference with personal matters (yes personal you read right, I am saying its a personal matter) usually have sever repercussions. At the end its the morality of the person involved (man or women) which stops such incidents. Anyway lets hope the initiative will work. And also hope ringing the bell dont give shock like the havells advertisement - "Shock Laga laga shock laga". Amen!!!

Crossed finger Vs Luck!!!

I wish I could have added one more item in my resolution list, and that is, to make promise to update the blog regularly and break it always. At least this would have saved me from guilt feeling of not working on my blog page and would have also added something in my achievement list. Achievement of  making Routine/Plan which I followed with heart and soul. ;-)

Coming on topic, I use to hear this a lot while waiting for something good "Keep your finger crossed". Always wondered the correlation between the twisted finger and luck. If I take this as a fact then it means those with naturally twisted(abnormal) fingers are luckiest lot. Which I doubt is the case. So why this? Human is a very strange species and usually come up with strange ideas for every moment. Lots of unanswered behaviour. BTW if crossed finger would have brought luck I would have had tied all my fingers in crossed form with string, so as never to fail in luck game because for me hard work is not found in dictionary. :D

P.S.:- Surprisingly got a call from SP Jain over my educational profile, which gave a boost to my confidence as I never thought my profile has the spark. Hope crossed finger will bring luck, else I am still going with my resolution. ;-)

Resolution Time

Before starting off with my post I would like to wish all my blog readers a very happy and prosperous new year. Cheers... :-)

Each new year comes with new hopes, expectations, planning and last but not the least, Resolutions. Resolutions which we make so as not to commit the mistakes which we committed earlier and also to start soemthing new. And many a time it takes a weird outlook, feels mine one too. And somehow it always happen that, we make the resolutions and forget it never to follow it. But good part is this gives a chance of doing analysis at the year end what we did and what we shouldn't have done.

For a change this year I am making resolution which I bet I will follow even in my dreams/ unconsiously. My resolutions for this year:-
1) I will not study seriously to get into either something big or small.
2) I will not concentrate on my work and won't do any work seriously. [I can write this as I didnot give link for my blog page to any of my colleagues. He he]
3) I will delete scraps from public forum entered on my profile page.
4) I will sleep atleast 11 hours a day
5) I will not go to gym regularly.
6) I will make long duration calls to everyone in my phone book. And will see to it that my phone bill don't goes below 1200 atleast.
7) I will eat as much as I can and also whenever I can and will reach target of 36 waist size by year end.
8) I will take loan whenever opportunity comes and wont let the debt amount on me go below 10k a month.
9) I will not decide to have a clear goal in my life and wont even think about actions needed to achieve that.


I think this is all for now. May add few more points later if and when I will remember. WISH NOT TO FOLLOW A SINGLE RESOLUTION MADE THIS YEAR. :-)

Ambition / Dream redefined

Read somewhere that and I couldn’t agree more with it.

Dream/Ambition is not what you see in sleep,
Its something that doesn’t let you sleep.

And unfortunately something which doesn't let me sleep is or I would say are MOSQUITTO and causes me to stand nowhere. And this sudden realization is hunting me down.

P.S.:- I am on a pathetic attempt to keep my blog page alive. Hope it will make me write again.

Food for thoughts - Smokers!!!

Often I observed

• People passing the lighter/matchstick and even cigarettes to lit others cigarette.

• Smokers/drinkers sharing a different kind of bonding/friendship.

And I concluded that this is due to below reason respectively:-

• They share as they don't want to die alone.

• They need someone to miss them BADLY after there departure from this mortal world.

P.S.:- No offense meant to anyone. ;-)

Another milestone!!!

A lot is there to say over the milestone achieved and things happened to reach up to this point. But as always caught under the time constraint, so wont be able to post a long matter. And I am sure no one will be bored to read it. For the time being, I would like to inform my blog readers, Today marks the completion of 2 year in the industry where I wanted to come entire my college life, and from where I want to run away since joining. :-)

Satisfaction is what I never get and I never want to get satisfied from anything. Hope I will be able to move to next field where I am currently wish to go. To start a new cycle of event. Amen!!!

I congratulates myself for achieving the feat of dissatisfied 2 year in IT. :-)

Murphy's Law!!!

There are surely something in this world which is above any scientific explanation. And even if some theory is provided its too vague. A similar incident happened with me(say crossed the limits of being an incident) for which I am still thinking about explanation and thought Murphy's law will be the right way of explaining it, if not completely then partially.

Prologue:- It happens that every morning, I have to catch bus(City Bus) after attending the classes from 7-9 AM. It takes nearly 30-45 minutes to reach my house from classroom (depending upon traffic situation). and for that I take bus no 171. But it never happened that I got the bus immediately after coming out of the class. I always have to wait at least 10-15 minutes. So by the time I reach my home,it almost cross 10 AM. And I am always in little hurry after the class because I have to go back to my home and get ready for office (which takes another 30-40 minutes) and again have to come to bus stand to get my office bus which leaves at 11 A.M. And whenever I wait for bus number I see a lot of bus numbered 164. And when at least 3-4 buses with number 164 passes I get one bus numbered 171 which is jam packed and I board it somehow.

Stroy:- Generally I don't work on Saturday but due to project requirement and none availability of any other resource, I was suppose to work last Saturday. But to my relief, I was given flexibility to work from Home and was asked to be online at 9:30 AM sharp to attend the client meeting. I didn't have internet connection at home so I was provided with a data card on Thursday. And from here on, Murphy's law started its play.

> I tried installing the data card software in my laptop whole Thursday and it was never detected and I was not able to configure the card for net accessibility. Was pissed off completely. Sent the communication to my lead saying IF he can assign the work to someone else, as I wasn't able to configure the card. I was told I can go to some cafe and from there I can work. I told, Ok. [First]

> I wasn't worried that much though as I thought I will use my brothers data card which works absolutely fine in my system. But dint take it Friday morning.

>Friday afternoon a mail came to all of us that a riot has started in some area out here in Bangalore so we may have to stay late as buses wont be plying at stipulated time. Late at night while going back to my house I called my brother to tell him to bring the data card so that I can access the net Saturday morning. And I came to know that he wont be coming tonight as the area is little disturbed so he will be spending the night at his friends house. [Second]

>At that point of time I thought I will access the internet from cafe. Then realized cafe wont be opening before 10 AM. And it will take sometime to configure other network to my system too. Done!!! I can't rely on cafe too. [Third]

>Thought I will go to my friends house after the class and will access the internet there and will complete the office work. And as 164 was a frequent bus I wont be having problem reaching on time, as from my classroom it takes hardly 20 minutes if I get the bus number 164. Things were taking shape now. And I slept peacefully.

> Woke up at 6. left for my classes. But just to be extra cautious about timing I came out 10 minute before the class end time. And started waiting for bus at bus stand. And as expected I saw a bus coming at some distance. But number was not clear. And to my surprise it was 171. Crap!!! I thought may be I came earlier thats why I am seeing 171. No issues!!! Wait was still on. I waited for nearly 30 minutes at bus stop and to my surprise nearly 15 bus passed and all where numbered 171. I was so angry with this rally that I decided not to take auto. [Fourth]

>At last, I got the bus 164 at 9:20 AM. And I was fuming like anything. I asked for ticket and got to know that bus wont be going till the stop near my friends house. [Fifth] Grrrrr

> Still boarded the ticket and went till the last stop and from there took the auto and reached my friends house at 9:40 AM. In between I tried calling my lead to inform him that I wont be able to join before 9:45. No one responded. [Sixth] Grrr

Epilogue :- Completed the work sent the communication and I was so tired by that time that I slept for whole day. Woke up in evening. Went to home. Was so frustrated with the unproductive day passed that I made it more unproductive by watching 3 movie in a row on my system. And finally slept at 2 AM thinking never to say 'YES' for working on weekend.

Hell!!!

I guess it was a long awaited post and in fact most of you might be waiting for it. Even all my friends started wondering and they thought something must be wrong with me. Its been almost 10 months since I moved to Bangalore from the heaven called Chennai... whooping 10 months!!! Gosh!!! And still I didn't say a word against this place? Nay!!! It was just waiting to reach the threshold and finally it came out. This place too sucks a big time. Not due to weather, not due to work culture,not due to food problem, not due to people.. or wait, I guess little modification here.. not due to people who doesn't own a vehicle.

Just have to say, people residing here doesn't have any traffic sense and nor do they have patience to let other go, or I guess they don't like the smooth movement of traffic at all. Keep shouting over the messy traffic all the time and when the time for them to contribute at least there share of orderliness??? Gracious!!! Everything fly away from there mind. They will keep moving there vehicle too the extremes in such a way that it may be possible that there vehicle making a 85 degree angle with the road. Or to say simply they just block the whole traffic and eventually nor they nor other are able to move ahead even if the clearance is given by the Traffic police. Its really an irritating experience to get caught in such a traffic with full of these irritants.
Moreover I guess Bangalore is in DIRE need of proper traffic arrangements or say signal. And most importantly a sense of traffic among all.

But if one forget the traffic congestion for a while then its seriously a great place to live(at least a hundred thousand times better then the heaven :D). Or guess may be opinion will get changed drastically after an year or so. And then I will head to some other destination, some other place to scoff on. ;-)

Chuck De Hey Baby!!!

Forewarning:- By any chance if you haven't watched these movies then stop here itself. There might be some spoiler.

I may differ or in fact will surely differ from others opinion about chuk de and hey baby. ;)

So here is my version of review for chuk de.. Sole aim of the movie was to bring back the scooter back to his house. Alas!!! days of scooters are now over else we could have seen some good ad there, or may be not, because his scooter seemed to have either maintenance problem or may be mileage problem. How? Dint you see, Kabir bhai was rolling the scooter instead of driving it most of the time. And to showcase how a small mistake can make you pay a humongous cost(Thanks to Media). Jokes apart this movie was so so(watchable).But if you are seriously looking for something real good then this movie is avoidable(but taking into account movie standard these days you can watch it if you are a movie buff ). Few points I noted after watching the movie(or guess directors know the secret):

• Movies with some religious issues(add India-Pakistan match too) and movie will break box office records.[Question: Can't you feel that there is a need of change over this caste and religion related thing]
• Movies with sport theme generally gets better opening if a weak team emerges as a winner(and obviously that team is Indian Team.. No offense meant). Indirectly we are accepting that we are weak and some miracle will make us win. [Question: If weak emerging as strong finally is so much sought after, then why do we try to keep weak away from the main line.]
• Movies were everything depends on last 3 minute performance or which make ur adrenaline flow faster generally emerges as a winner on box office(be it a lagaan or chuk de). [Question: Why Mr Kabir didn't gave direction for 1st two shots on goal which resulted in close call with Australian team ;)]
• And yeah evergreen formula - show the hero as Bechara(chucked out from main stream) and help him regain his old stature through the movie. And you will get a super hit.[Question: Why movies are so distant from cruel reality?]

These formulae comes one or other way in most of the hit movie(w.r.t. sport based).Whatever may be the case at last our kabir bhai(the great coach) was able to bring back the scooter to his old house. [:D]

Anyway, hope India winning the Asia Cup, teams superb performance throughout the series and soft corner for Hockey developed after the movie will make hockey to reach those heights or say surpass those heights which where a cake walk during 1940's(Dhanchand and Team).

Hey Baby or Baba!!! Why on earth do you make such wonderful movie. Put us in situation of saap and chuchunder(snake and mouse ka bhai.. don't remember the actual phrase). I mean they make life of movie watcher difficult.I found it difficult whether to laugh or weep or commit suicide at such wonderful emotional scene(yeah even though I watched the movie. So I am entitled for an award). I don't have words to explain the beauty of this movie. But just have two words to say. "AVOID IT". Be the emotional touch given by star's or director everything was just intolerable. Director/hero/heroine everyone seemed confused about there stand in movie. Things move at fast pace but are never able to hold the attention. Overall a big failure for each and everyone.This is perfectly my opinion and its a consequence of literally wasting my precious 2.5 hours. And I don't expect other to go by it as opinion differs with people.
