with my new job profile, i have to make a trip to Mumbai almost every week. This gives an opportunity to travel in our local trains, and what fun that is. Hanging at the door and just going along wow!!!. To enjoy this one must be a Mumbaikar at heart. Else its difficult to digest this.
The other day i was at Mahalaxmi, had the Arye energy, two shev puri and one bhaji pav, loved this :). For pune chat shop owners please please come to Mumbai to see how a shev puri is actually suppose to be.

One line which is very well received by everyone who understands this. It means let’s go to Mama’s place. After weeks of indecisive thoughts, finally managed to come to Solapur. Its my mama’s home . A place where I have the most chilling times of my life.
Best part of coming here is the train journey, Hutatma Express from Pune. All along the journey we see is pleasant natural beauty, green fields, as the night falls a clear dark sky with twinkling stars all over. Best is if you sit on the footboard at the door, listening to your fav songs.
Man just love that !!!
For the last 48 hours all i have done is eating eating sleeping and relaxing. I am crazy for the panipuri here, sure going to gulp down few more plates today.
with the wake of tomorrow morning, I will head back towards my sales target . But still weekends are the best.
Over the last 4 months, life has taken many expected and unexpected turns. If not anything this change has helped me think like never before.
Let’s see how much more will this change get out of me.
Keep it coming am loving it !!!
Of the many things that I aspire to do in my life, this one is going to be done in the very near future or to say the very next good opportunity that I may get. I have made up my mind that under any circumstances I will visit the Kana and the Bandhavgad National Parks to see tigers. My friend is currently enjoying the rides at Kana and in his first ride they spotted four tigers.
Today’s lazy Saturday morning was not the way it otherwise is on a weekend. It started with me switching on the television sets and the first thing i see with my half open eyes in that an AirIndia aircraft is down with over 150 passengers on board. This news made me wake my remaining eyes up in a flash. Since then its been just the news of exploring all possible reason why this happened. We will have to wait until the aircraft’s blackbox is recovered, only then will the mystery of this crash can be solved.
My condolences to all those who were part of this tragic accident.
Long gone and hard going is this day, week and month. Bunch of things going all around my head, mind, heart, body and soul. To make life simple all i need is some answers.
With my new role at my work place life for sure is taking the right turn, but as my day comes to a closure, the battle starts with these till then switched off dots.
Have to find a lot of these answers too fast too quickly :)
Today there was a news in the papers that there are no bidders for the INS Vikrant Museum project. Some five business houses who were shortlisted from the stage one of the bidding process, were suppose to submit their financial bids, but guess they refrained from doing so. It’s their choice after all. I wonder why is that none of these business houses think from a social point of view where it would be a matter of pride to build a memorial of India’s first Aircraft carrier war ship. During the Navy week people stand in long queues only to experience the ecstasy of this mammoth ship. But why should this ship be seen during the Navy week. Cant we have a good way in which people can see this all round the year.
It’s really sad that our business icons are not thinking along these lines. But the good part is government has put its foot forward to take this dream to a big reality.
Today’s touchdown at Hyderabad International Airport was by far the best one for me. The entire airport premises was so well built and maintained that it was just not looking India. A huge eight lane highway, approaching the airport are a great sight to see from the flight. Volvo buses ply between the terminals and the taxi stand and some take passengers to the city and that too for free.
Today in India, IPL might be the most spoken word. IPL has not only touched our lives but has contributed to many good and bad things across the nation. With the team franchisees costing 5 times of what it would cost in EPL (European Primer League). One might think is India still a developing country ?
This IPL has given a whole new form to cricket clubbed with entertainment. This mix is going through everyone's throat except for some political leaders. They feel that cheer leaders and drinks served to audiences distract them from cricket. And most of all it hampers their sportsmanship spirit.
Is there anyone who agrees to this crap: I mean which player from the middle of the stadium will be able to spot a beer can among the crowd of 20,30 thousand people.
Its high time our leaders find something more sensible to think about
Its been almost three full weeks of pure work and work and work. Not literally but its been some real stressful days here. And going forward neither are the weekends looking good. Almost every day I use to look at the blog and wonder will I write on this or not ?
But yes today that moment has arrived and I am back on my writing track. Lots of proposals have gone to a lot of prospective customers and have also managed to see a couple of cricket matches. The way Sachin is batting I think the my extra effort taken to see the match are paid off. In the Season III of IPL the way Mumbai Indians are marching along this time we will this team in the finals.
The coming days are promising and I am really looking forward to some good things to happen.
First thought: Definitely worth a watch once. The story goes very nicely through uptill the end. The suspense is good. Not so important but still Deepika catches your attention completely. Surprisingly Radio Mirchi, IBN and a number of media houses have given reviews from good to bad to worse. But imo its a good movie to watch. By the end it gets you on the edge of the seat and praying the call should never come.
But it comes.
For many of us, we know this as the name of the aircraft in which President of United States flies. But this is not completely true. AirForce One is the call sign to uniquely identify any aircraft that is carrying the President of United States. So be it a fighter jet, or any air force aircraft, moment the President boards the aircraft it becomes AirForce One.
Stands as tall as a six story building this aircraft is referred as the flying white house. The President can virtually do everything from here. The aircraft is equipped with every possible facility and is probably the safest place for the President. The metal of this aircraft was proved on Sep 11 2001. When every place in America was believed to be under attack. This aircraft acted as the command center for President Bush.
For years this plane is delivering the President of United States to virtually all parts of the globe. Some unique features of this plane are it can go undetected on a radar, missile proof, mid air refueling capacity and many more.
It definitely will be a privilege to watch this aircraft right in front of our eyes.
The other day i heard this popular song from the Blockbuster Hum Appke Hai Kaun. “Ye Mausam ka Jadoo hai mitwa”. Every time i see this song i just cant stop admiring the innocent look of Madhuri Dixit. In my living memory I have not seen this innocence on any face in bollywood. And sure will not see if again.
For me probably this is the ever green face.
I don’t know if we are aware of this eye opening fact that there are only 1411 tigers left in India. I am zapped by this and hear by pledge to ensure that I am not going to buy anything new that is made out of animal skin. I feel sad that I have also contributed to this shocking number in someway and now I am going to do my bit to ensure that this number does not go down.
Please join this movement to spread a word about this. If this continues a day is sure to come within years where our children will see tigers only in photographs.
See this video to realize how bad it’s out there.
Like every individual, entity or an object, I have some characteristics, good or bad we will discuss it later. These characteristics are what make me the person I am. From all the knowledge I have about myself, I know most of these characteristics are not good. Ex:
Careless attitude, absent mindedness, forgetting things, a bit lazy, urge to have oily food more, inability to save money, inability to question others, cannot say no, and inability to convince my close ones that how much I care for them.
At times I think of all these bad qualities and wonder do I have any good quality or not. I think I might have something that might be good (i don’t know) if others would agree but yes I like to believe that there could be something. I mean I always get to hear from all, my family, friends, closed ones that “Jeetesh why are you so careless, or why are you so absent minded, why on earth you spend so much of money, I know I am not important and many more” I always have to run behind people to make them understand and believe me that how important they are in my life.
I know they are not wrong at all when they say all these things to me but by nature and structure I am also a human like them, I also feel bad, or feel hurt that cant I be accepted the way I am ? I mean at times I wish to live a day where no one would criticize for anything. In my living memory such a day has never come.
I am also a creation of the same god as you all are. I have many many bad qualities but still there could be something good in me.
I Dont live for FAME...I live for Appreciation :) Unfortunately Fame comes easily, Appreciation is rare!!
On a great evening at Lavasa we said our final good bye to 2009 and on the pleasant beaches at Dapoli, we welcomed the new year 2010.
