2009 rewinded!

As the last day of the year begins, as the world gears up to say GOODBYE to 2009, I am drowned in the memories and experiences of one of the most exciting years of my life. The year 2009 began with lots of hopes, lots of plans waiting their turn to be executed, lots of new ideas and actions.

The Journey from Bangalore to US, year 2009. When in US, it was a different world altogether. Early days in US was all afresh, completely different culture, different accents, different weather with each simple thing proving to be a lesson. Studies were going on as usual, exams being cleared parallely, many FIRSTS happened. First day I cooked, First day I drove the car, First friendship, First day in a University Hospital, First Interview, First ID card, First Driver's license, First accident, First day in Gym, First Snow Fall and the list goes on. Sort of new life!!!

Many new paths were crossed and new relations developed. Realisations of the truth of old relations were made, some were lost n some were gained and few regained, silences were broken. Each hour has been an experience immemorial. As we are parting from 2009, the last year of the decade, the times of the year shall be cherished for life. The hopes were kept alive, plans were executed perfectly with few surprises here and there. The new year 2010 shall be welcomed with an array of new hopes and wishes. Hereby, wishing you all a Happy and a Prosperous New Year.

Silver Jubilee!!!

25 years ago, it was a tuesday on the 25th of december 1984, an incident happened. At that moment, it gave happiness to many. It was a day of Christmas again, a week away from the new year. People were celebrating and the number to celebrate the day a bit differently started that year. But the consequences of the incident over these 25 years can be termed VARIOUS. Though it is yet to be proven in the coming years of future, Call it a miracle or a disaster!

First 5 years just passed unnoticed!! The first day in the memory lane is the day when my grandpa dragged me to school which I used to hate then. Then it became a routine as I got adapted to the new atmosphere. School in the day and rest of time at home, doing pranks and troubling one or the other all the time. I was adamant and relieved when my will was fulfilled. There were days when I used to play cricket in that small portico of my house with a bunch of friends, ruining the painting of house with ball hit marks, breaking off the lights and window panes good enough only to get scoldings. Giving tests each month, writing the exams every year, enjoying the wonderful company of friends - I never realised how I cruised through.

As the years passed on, I was out of school and into pre university college. Entirely different environment! Freedom, new friends, hangouts, girls, Bicycle to Motor Vehicle, Pocket money - Inspite of all this fun, there was a constant pressure of WHAT n HOW for Future, the search for ones own identity started. The answers revealed themselves with the time.

I found myself in a Medical School!!! That too in the Capital City, I never had even dreamt it. Again, a new set of friends, new food, hostel life, loads of books, nobody for immediate care, being ragged by bullies in the hostel and Ghamandi girls of the college! With the challenge of adjustments altogether, it was a torture for initial month but then it was FUN. Drowned in the studies, forgetting all other extra talents, acquiring the new skills; in 5 years, I was a Doctor with a basic Med Degree!!! This was probably the most enthralling and exciting period of my life, those 5 years. But I never knew that more excitement is in wait for me!! The present life in US! For someone who never had imagined it, life shows the path. I am just walking as the light of life is leading me!

Many Many people have come across the path of my life. Many went unnoticed, some selected different paths, less were they who were kicked out. Hardly any of them would be remembered again. I wish good luck to all of them. Few Chose to walk together along and some joining in future to give company. Couple of them are just beside me. I am still waiting to come across that someone who would walk hand in hand, step by step for whole life! For those of you, still in the same road, Thank you so much, you will reach your destination of life safely.

Most of it was a flow of happiness n smile all these 25 years with punctuations of emotional turmoils, angers, frustrations and tears; There lies a constant effort to forget/avoid the punctuations and continue the flow of happiness on in Future!!
I donot know how these 25 years flew, I really thank all those who helped me, accompanied me all the time.

Each year there used to be a cake cut, candles put off, partying and a group of people for company, this year of 2009, I am alone. So just Chill, party alone :-)

Merry Christmas To one and all!!!

Its a Silver Jubilee. 25 years ago, on this very same Christmas day, 25th December, 'I' was born!!! Happy Birthday to me :-)

I really dont hate CHRISTMAS :-)

This is a song I liked from Phineas N Ferb, the Disney Cartoon! Just felt like posting it up on the blog :-) Thanks Disney!!!

I really dont hate christmas......




You see Valentines is torture
And my birthday is a mess!
New Year's is a lot of noise
And Arbor Day's a pest!
Halloween's a horror,
But I guess I must confess
That I really don't hate Christmas!



You see Flag Day is infernal.
April Fool's is just a bore.
Mardi Gras a waste
Unless you own a candy store.
All these other holidays
I can admit that I abhor,
But I really don't hate Christmas.

Now it isn't that I like it,
At the most I feel ambivalence!
But should I really just destroy it?
I'll admit that I'm still on the fence.
It makes me tense!

From the evil scientist community
I'm sure to get ejected.
But for Christmas I can seem to summon
Any true invective.
Because what is there to hate?
I mean it's really so subjective!
Though I really don't hate Christmas.

I hate puppy dogs and kittens,
I hate flowers in the Spring!
I even hate the sunshine
And the birdies when they sing.
I can work up animosity for almost anything
Tell me why I don't hate Christmas.

Though my childhood was atrocious,
Christmas never was that bad, you see!
So the best that I can muster
Is complete and total apathy.
What's wrong with me?

How can I prove that I'm
An evil villain worth his salt
When with a holiday so jolly
I can't even find a fault?
If I didn't feel ambiguous
I'd launch a big assault!
But I really don't hate Christmas!

... Ah what the heck? Kick line!

No I really...
No I really don't hate Christmas!

I have an intense burning indifference!

Dev D!!!

I am tired when everyone ask me why i smoke so much .....



I was not like this ..........

I was like this



until i saw that girl ....




I liked her so much that i told a lot of lies to her example "u r soooo cute"



I promised her a lot..



I gave her costly gifts on feb 14th.. like this...



I gave her a shock like this when she accepted my proposal



I used to talk whole night and do this at office...




When ever i go out with my girl friend , My friends used to give me this look



then I used to give them a pose like this



At last my girl friend gave the roses to me like this... and went away



i didn't know what to do , where to go



...then i got my precious


.......and i started smoking & drinking...



I am waiting for a day when I would quit. Surprised!?! It will happen when...



Caution: Smoking is injurious to Health!!!

Detroit Rocks!

Recently, I had got a wonderful opportunity to vist DETROIT in state of Michigan, US. The city which pioneered and changed the Motor industry in US. The only city in entire US which looks South to Canada!!! Also it stands among one of the Top most Dangerous cities in US with lots of incidents of rape, murder, robbery, shoot outs etc etc., Somehow the downtown area looked so deserted which was in support to the title DANGEROUS CITY. I am not sure if it is because of the bitter winter or due to the fears of danger. The most fascinating experience for me was to stand in front of the Renaissance Center [which is the tallest building in Detroit accomodating the Global Headquarters of General Motors] and to see the city of Windsor in Canada across the roaring Detroit River. The best ever experience for me to be in one country and see the other. I wish I had Canada Visa :( I was so close to Canada, yet so far.

Another day, I decided to become a kid all again by visiting the Detroit Science Center located in the campus of Wayne State University. This is of course not a place to be missed. The setting reminds you of the good old days of Physics, Chemisty and Biology. The place has the largest screen theater IMAX in Michigan. On the topmost floor lies a planetarium. There is also a 4D toyota Engineering theater where in you get the real 4D experience. If you get a chance, just visit the place, its fun. Luckily the snow was not that bad, so have to say, a decent trip. I am adding a few nice photos of the place. I am adding a few snaps of Detroit, Enjoy!!!

An evening in CHICAGO!
