Here in graphic detail, I explain how our konkan trip was. 1)6:30 AM: We started through chandani chowk to head for Paud. Its a hamlet about 20 kms from pune. The sun is just about to rise...... 2) 7:30 AM: As you move ahead of Paud, there is a place called Tamahni. About 40 kms ahead of Paud, the much awaited Tamahani ghat starts...... 3) 8: 30 AM: Through twists and turns and hopless roads we reach a scenic place. Relization dawns tha we are nothing in front of mother nature....... 4) 9:30 AM: Its breakfast time. We stop at a place called Surabhi about 84 kms from Pune. The Mumbai district border begins.... 5) 10:30 AM: We reach the cross road which marks the start of the Konkan's archtypal "red sand." Srivardhan is just 75 kms now.... 6) 11:30 AM: Connecting from Mandgaon, we miss the Lonere turn towards Srivardhan. 20 kms up, we realize we need to trak backwards and turn left for Srivardhan. Srivardhan still is 50 kms.... 7) 12:30 P:M: Taking right from a village call...

To My..... Readers, Fellow bloggers, Critics and Community Friends: " Let there be more light and prosperity this year. Let there be more sweets and hugs that endear. Let this Diwali, in its wake, Bring you moments, surreal . "

Want to impress you loved one? Want to make your crush take a notice of you? Want to understand how women think? Grab a DVD of " Hitch ". Its tagged as a romantic comdey, starring Will Smith, Eva Mendes (Oomph!), Kevin James et the party! The central theme is a take-off from a "date doctor" or a "romance consultant" concept played by Will Smith. Eva plays a coumn gossipist for a mid-day daily , while Kevin James (King of Queens fame) plays one of his client. See the movie, because there is nothing I can tell that will do justice to the same. I loved one of the lines and I have to mention it here; Eva- " So,what do we toast for." Will- " Ok, Lets see. Dont ever Lie, Steal, Cheat or Drink. If you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink to the moments that take your breath away." Let me know how you find it....

I have heard this term umpteen number of times. Unreasonable.Dont be unreasonable. Dont demand unreasonably. That's an unreasonable deal. Blah, Blah, Blah..... What exactly is being unreasonable? Let's try and find out. Shall we? G.B Shaw says that ""The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man." Thats Shaw. Its true, that if we behave in a reasonable manner we accept things as they are and loose the power to change them. But I wish to touch the aspect of relationships over here. Unreasonablity is always there a pure love relationship. This is because Love itself is unreasonbale. But that on the positive side is enjoyed by everybody. If a husband buys astronomically expensive gift for his wife, he is being unreasonble. But the wife sure enjoys that. But when that unreasonablity strikes on the negative side, its not acceptable. What is w...

After my first post on Traffic Jam , here is an addition to the philosophy: Traffic Life Baggage Ever seen a vehicle with truckload of baggage moving fast on the road? No. The more the load, the less the efficiency, more the fuel consumption. Then they are stereotyped as the “heavy vehicles.” Plus, more toll on the highways :-) Ever seen a successful human being bogged down by past-tense or surroundings? No. The more you dwell in your past failures (read as baggage), less the concentration, more unproductive work. Then they are stereotyped as the “lay man.” Plus, more toll on the mind due to excessive baggage.

How many languages have you mastered? English, Hindi, German or perhaps French. You know there are two more languages that don’t have an official course. Body Language and Love Language. Lets talk about the sweetest language, the Language of Love. I am not talking about the endearing talk between newly married couples. Incidentally the language manifests where all the other languages fail to convey something. This is the language helps us to understand the, subconsciously, what are loved ones are trying to convey. Did you hear that? Someone is thinking about you right now. Someone is praying for you. It’s the language in which a new born baby talks to his mother. It’s the language in which a paraplegic husband talks to his wife. It’s the language in which two people in love miles apart talk. No messenger. No broadband. No email. Simple wireless connectivity. Go ahead, connect!

What do you think is the height of optimism? I will tell you what it is for me.... I believe that this is not my last visit on earth. I believe that I will meet all my loved ones once again even after I die. I believe that I will talk to my near and dear one's even after they die. I believe that life is not a one-stop phenomenon. We will keep meeting in different forms in different era's. I believe that if I medidate with utter purity, I will talk to god himself. Please god, render me pure. So that there will be no fear, no doubt, no disbelief.....
