Lucky turns 27 Today..

Hi Everyone,
I am back again with another of my blog entry.. I guess it’s been sometime, since I wrote my last blog and to be frank, I do want to write these blogs more often, but work (my laziness to be correct) keeps me away. At times, I think I should be very punctual and try to write these blogs every day, but then I don’t think this world has enough strength to tolerate me everyday.. :-). Anyhow I did try to try to write a diary everyday, around 10 years ago, but I could only write it for a week religiously and then the frequency came down to monthly, to quarterly and then once in a blue moon.. Hence, I believe this frequency is good for everyone.. ;)

So here, I am writing this blog while travelling from Melbourne to Singapore, on A380 (I got seat on Upper deck this time.. a lot more roomier than the main deck) on my 27th Birthday. Yup, Lucky turns 27 Today. I used to feel good about this ever increasing age till I tuned 25, but after that it’s a bit sad to know U r turning old, though maturing could have been more delicate word, but what the heck, 27 is a big number :(. And it sucks more, when you are away from your home, not with your family and friends on your B’day. In last few years, I’ve spend most of these days away from home, in Hyderabad, Chennai, Bhopal, and this time, its not even in one city or one country or one continent. :(. At 12 AM, I was in Melbourne, Australia, took a 10 AM flight to Singapore, right now, I am over some ocean flying over maybe couple more countries, and will reach Singapore around 4PM local time. So most of the day will be already gone by time I reach my hotel, get fresh and post this blog. Will hardly be speaking to everyone, thanx to these ISD rates. In short, nothing is great about this day.

But let’s see, how can I make it a bit cheerful, let’s try to look at the positive things. First thing in morning, saw some b’ful chicks jogging, Don’t know how, but my company booked me a deluxe room with a balcony facing a b’ful park, I guess they knew it’s my b’day.. :-). Not the ideal way to start your new year of life, (especially when I am used to visiting temple) but I am not complaining, after all they are also god’s b’ful creations.. ;). Then Singpore Airlines hostesses are damn hot.. And maybe once I reach Singapore, a stroll in Clark Quay or maybe Thai massage to end the day shouldn’t hurt.. :) I hope my mom never reads the blog, else I am dead. :)

Well, I guess enough for this time, anyhow I can see one of the beauties ready to serve some snacks. To make them wait won’t be a good thing.. So, I guess time to say Good bye.. Thanks to all, who have wished me either on phone, or FB, or Orkut.. And get lost u loosers, who haven’t, especially even after reading this blog. :-)

Wait for another blog. Bye n Tc

Keep reading.
Lucky..

Are lives that complicated or do we made it so?

Hi Everyone..
I am back again. I apologize for not finishing my blog last time, but I hope u can understand the circumstances which resulted in that half complete blog. But as they said, All is well that ends well.. So everything went fine, as I got the Singapore Visa just in time, had a great trip :-). And looks like Mom has partially given up her hopes on being able to find a girl for me, hence I am relaxed on that front as well. ;) Few issues at office, but I think they will be sorted out soon.. So nothing much to crib about this time.. As most of you blame me for only talking about the sad things in my life.. but what shall I do if I am the CHOSEN ONE.. ;)

Ok, coming to the blog discussion.. as usual I don’t have too much to mention again… Not much things have happened in the past, as least the ones which can be shared with all on a public forum.. But let me try to do that and try to keep it in a politically correct way.. Though this is definitely not my cup of coffee, (I don’t drink Tea).. It’s like U need to call an asshole an asshole.. there is no other way.. But let me try to be polite and there is also one sweet thing to share as well.. ;)

So, let me start with few observations, made by me or some ppl around me..
Now to start I would like to share an observation made by my Boss, he believes that US and APAC market is absolutely same and there is no difference in their market. Now I believed, even before I entered the corporate world, that all these countries are different in their customs, languages (or at least their accents), Sales approaches, Business rituals.. But now after 3 years in the corporate world and interacting with prospects from across the globe and validating my belief, I am asked to change my belief and accept that there is no difference in US n APAC market. I don’t want to say anything more on this and request U guys to comment on this.. (especially the guys who are frustrated with their bosses, I am giving you an opportunity to vent our your anger here in the comments section.. :-) )

Another observation was made by me when I was in Melbourne last week. I met a guy who is an MD for one of our partner organization. He is an Australian and we had few Beers (in the Cricketer’s Bar in Hotel Windsor), discussing Cricket (what else Australians and Indians have in common). And it was pretty casual discussion, they were making fun of Indian cricketers and I was trying to keep Indian flag high (Seriously when they started talking about Bishen Singh Bedi, Bhajji n Sreesanth, it was pretty tough job).. But during that discussion, I just observed that whatever we say about Australians being rude or racist, that just our stereotyping. I mean these guys just wanted to have fun.. They were equally making fun of Kiwi players (as one among our group was frm NZ) as well as their own players. There was no intention to disrespect any nation, it was just a way to have some laughter after a long working day.. To conclude, whenever we try to stereotype ppl based on one or 2 incidents, I think we are just making fool of ourselves and proving that we are the biggest Racists..

Another reason I am writing this blog Today is that I saw a movie “Wake Up, Sid” Yesterday and the last scene of the movie answered one of the question, for which I knew the answer but needed a validation. (This should be the last comment, looking at the size of this blog.. So don’t get restless U lazy buggers)
Well coming back to the topic, it’s exactly not a question but more of an observation. I had heard so much about Mumbai, as one city where it’s easy to come, but impossible to leave or Mumbai is one city where everyone gets their dreams fulfilled or other blah blah shit.. I never believed in all this.. I was always looking for a way to run back to Delhi, and never felt related to this city.. Though this city gave me such real good friends, but still I am sure that I’ll not give a second thought, if I ever get a better opportunity to move from here.. But lately I’ve started getting scared with thoughts of leaving Mumbai, somehow had started feeling connected to this city.. But as I said, I knew the reason but needed some validation and that was provided by the last scene of the movie. Now U guys go and watch that movie and do something good with yr life.. :) I am pretty sure, U’ve already got the point.. ;) Bt its nice to leave a blog this way, at least u get couple of comments.. ;) And Yes, Delhi is still way better than Mumbai, bt Mumbai u rock too.. In short, I am happy to be a Delhite in Mumbai.. :)
So here it is, another crappy blog from my blog factory.. Another attempt to do something interesting in my life.. Another attempt to brighten your life, though for a small duration.. And another attempt to keep the blogging going..

Keep reading..
Cheers (Australian way)..

Till the next blog..
Take Care.. Bye..

Life's unexpected turns.. :(

Its Saturday, Blogging Time, Yuppie..

Hi Guys n Gals,
Today is Saturday and I’ve already left my German Classes and given all hope to learn any new language in present life anymore. So, here I am, enjoying a b’ful weekend, relaxing, chilling and writing this blog.. I guess, surely not a bad way to spend your weekend.. :)

So, time to write another blog, but before I do that, I would like to thank all those friends, who actually liked my previous blogs. Though, I must admit that it’s a bit hard to believe that some of you not only read my blog but liked it as well. But whatever, if you like it, I am just too glad. After all, I am the one who wrote them. :) So, what shall I write about Today: About this girl who is all over my thoughts lately :) or the three marriage proposals my profile on matrimony sites got in One day :(, (Don’t think I am attached to it by any means, mom created these profiles to get me married ASAP) or my proposed Singapore trip the coming week :), or the things in office which are screwing my mind :(, or maybe nothing at all, just talk non-sense :p as usual.

Or let’s talk about everything a bit..
But bad news first :(. Can you believe this; I just started writing this blog and wanted to talk about the Singapore Trip. And I got a call from the Travel Agent, saying I haven’t got my Visa. And the stupid reason is that Singapore Consulate didn’t give me Visa as I have Delhi address on my Passport. The most ridiculous thing I’ve heard. Let’s see what happened Next, Bt as of now looks like no Singapore Visit. Shit Man, I m not in mood to finish this blog now.
God, that was seriously unexpected. Don’t know, what to say now.. Seriously time to take a deep breath. It didn’t help.. :( This life is so bloody unpredictable, here I was few minutes back planning this trip and now here I am sitting clueless. God, I seriously need a break.. Will continue the rest in other blog.

Sorry guys, But I hope u understand..

Till the next blog..
Take Care.. Bye..

Howdy, feeling better after long time.. :)

Howdy..
Today is Sunday, and I’ve missed my German classes again, well not my fault, it’s getting so hot here, I am almost getting a feel that I am back in Chennai.. And trust me its not a good thing.. I don’t intend to offend anyone who is from Chennai as I am just talking about the weather there {anyhow I can’t say much about locals there, as they never spoke to me in anything but Tamil, which I don’t understand.. :(} So here I am, making some productive use of my free time by writing another blog..
Well, Things were boring, but they have started to turn better recently, must be due to Holy Navratri days, Mom (Maa Vaishno Devi) has always been extra kind to me in these days.. After all I am her favorite.. :) And I have to ask one question here, why people have this perception that I am not a religious guy.. I mean whenever I tell them that I am fasting, why is it so hard for them to digest such simple information? I believe in God, its just that I don’t believe in those rituals which I can’t understand. I understand that fasting for a week twice in a year can help you in detoxification of your body and purification of your soul, and you need strength to do such thing, that’s why we have attached God to this.. It’s such a straight forward concept, so I follow that, But yes I don’t follow the rituals to go to Temple everyday (Isn’t God omnipresent?) or I shave anyday of a week {Trust me, Shaving on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays is a bad thing, as per my mother :(}, I don’t follow these things, but give me a logical answer and I’ll stop doing it, but till then, I’ll do what I believe in. And that means boring you people with my blogs.. I know its was turning again into a boring blog, and that’s why lets talk about something else..
Ok, so what shall I talk about, maybe few small things but something which I enjoyed a lot..
a. Well, I guess First thing has to be the submission of resignation by one of the Sales Manager, I support. You must be wondering whats good about it and trust me, he is a very good sales guy, but he was earlier in my role and that’s why I never used to get to travel with him on his accounts, So now when he has resigned, I’ll be able to travel to places like Singapore, South Africa, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. and get somewhere near to my dream of visiting 50 countries before I turn 50.. 3 cheers for my dream here.. :)
b. Next thing is that I finally saw “My Name is Khan”, I’ve always hated Karan “Gay” Johar (god know what Johar he possess. :p) & SRK (more famous as his partner :p) and their type of Cinema. But this movie is just so different from their earlier work. They have finally created some good thing, though I’ll say not some original thought (but that will be too much to expect from KJ camp), but still pretty well directed and acted. Kudos to KJ (I am so glad you have taken your first step to be a Man :), I mean by not following your usual safe paths.)
c. Next, this is going to be a sweet one.. Well I talked to someone lately who refreshingly sweet and stupid.. {my favorite combination..:)} I hope It’s too complicated for you to process this information and one request, please don’t put any comment on this.. Don’t want to get embarrassed on this, that’s all..
d. I am also happy that on my last blog, there were 4 comments, so at least 4 readers for my blogs.. That’s the best among all.. :)
Well, I guess enough for this time.. And I also don’t want to feel bad on a thought, that when everyone else is enjoying their weekend with their family and friends, I am sitting here with my laptop and writing this blog.. :(::
So, everyone have fun.. Take care.
Keep reading my blogs.
Lucky..

Facebook, Sandra Bullock, Nityanand Swami

Hi Everyone..
I guess it’s been a long time, since I wrote my last blog. I was definitely not that busy that I can’t take some time out to irritate you people, But I guess I just never came across a topic, which was worth spending 30 minutes to think about it and writing a blog. (Yeah like my previous blogs required lots of Brain Storming sessions). But whatever, I’ve finally decided to write one more blog.. (just don’t want to quit this good habit)… And whatever is it for the readers, it’s definitely a mode for expression for me.. I can write any crap and simply get away with it.. :)
OK, Now coming back to real Business.. I have to admit here that I don’t really have anything in particular, but just made some observations lately and want to share it with you all..
First, It has to be about Facebook, I remember when I first started using Orkut, it was just to stay in touch with my old friends, then I joined MySpace and then Facebook, and god knows, what else are there for the future.. The basic idea to join these groups was to find your old friends, stay-in-touch with them and share your good and bad moments with all.. But Today, are we really doing it?.. Every week I get at least Tens of requests to join Mafia wars, Farmville, Know your fortune, Crazy Hearts, etc.. I think there are at least millions of such applications, (I sincerely wish some life to those coders who spend so much time creating these applications.. Guys, there is a world outside your computer as well).. And then the latest fad is to put some witty comment and then wait for appreciation from your friends.. or maybe if your friend has put one such comment, then search Internet to outdo their comments.. (Dont lie to me, that you never do that and all the comments from you are your own creative ideas.. if that’s so, Dude, you are in wrong profession, better repair your life/career than spending time here..) And in this whole thing, we have forgot the basic reason why we were here.. If some1 pings you to have a chat, you are too busy playing Mafia Wars or Farmville, Is this really why you were here? Well, you can answer it anyhow you want and It doesn’t matter what’s your response is.. It’s just an observation by me and I wanted to share it with you all… And that’s enough of heavy load from my side..
(That’s was seriously one heavy shit, I can see goose bumps, never thought such silly topic can turn that serious..)
Second, now moving to some lighter moments, I would like to talk about Sandra Bullock winning Oscars.. I am a huge fan of Sandra Bullock, Jenifer Aniston and Anne Hathaway.. These ladies are one of the most b’ful and talented actresses in Hollywood, but never got their due. I am so glad that at least one of them has finally won an Oscars.. Way to go for Jennifer and Anne…
(I hope, this was a short n sweet comment)
Third, this one is about the latest scandals involving these so-called Godman or Sanyasi.. I am not too sure, what exactly to say here, without offending some1’s feelings, but want to ask all those idiotic followers, that what do they see in such assholes that you give them a stature of God.. I mean, just by wearing Saffron or green or white color dress doesn’t make them God messengers.. I am not too sure about other religions, but Hindu religion says God is in everything.. And most importantly it’s in YOU… If you can’t love yourself, cant love your family, then why do you need to go to these assholes, worship them and then call them frauds later.. I have lots of things to say, but I am scared as Religion is such a sensitive topic, that it should be left untouched.. So no more words from me on this.. But hopefully, this is enough for my limited readers to give it a thought on this topic..
Ok. That was one heavy blog this time.. And I know, you must have missed all those sarcastic comments from me in this one. But don’t worry, IPL is starting soon and you’ll have another “Fake IPL Player” to follow who will entertain you with his humor.. Anyhow, I know how many people read this blog anyway..
I would really appreciate your comments on the first 2 comments, don’t bother to give yr views on 3rd one. {At least some1 please put a comment yar, I need to know if there is any1 who is reading it.. :(( }
Keep ignoring and hating my blogs, But I’ll keep blogging.. Jai Blogging. :)

Happy New Year

Hi Everyone..
I guess this is my first post in New Year. Hence wishing you all a very Happy New Year (though I know, hardly anyone checks my blog :( ). I hope you get to do lot of new stuff this year. And I would like to add here that I’ve taken first step towards realizing one of my dreams. I’ve joined Max Mueller Bhavan in Mumbai for German Language Classes. So everyone.. Guten Tag! Wie geht es Ihnen?
Just showing-off as usual..

Now coming back to serious business of blogging, I am not too sure what mystery I can take it up today. So many things have happened since I last posted my blog, but none of them is that significant to give it a second thought. And if you are wondering WTF I m doing in that case, its just I got some free time and thought to put my devil mind on some good work.

Really nothing new, same boring work, same life, same single status.. :-( same office, same chair, same computer.. I guess u got the point. God knows what’s happening to the world. Why everyone including me has got so monotonous? At times I want to do something different, but then so many scary thoughts come to my mind and I have to give up my will to do anything different. It’s impossible to imagine a Month without salary day. Before I get my salary, phone bills, credit card bills, home rent, blah blah.. are ready to take their share out of my salary. At times I think I should leave all this and maybe go back to our forefathers era of being self sufficient. Should become a farmer, where I eat what I grow, drink what god gives me (I mean Water here), wear whatever I can lay my hands on, (no need to collect money to get Levi’s or Pepe Jeans.. ;( )
But when I was going through this list, I suddenly realized that one day even that life will get monotonous and worst, I’ll never be able to get back to current life and that will make it worse. Why life is so complicated. Why it has to be so bad. Why cant we be just children for ever, never need to work, always get what we want, but then you think what if our parents had thought the same, we wouldn’t be here.. (Neither me writing this another messed up blog, neither you trying to comprehend this which is our of your capability).
And then you see a little child, looking at them makes you feel you need one of them. :), you see a couple on the road so lost in themselves, that you want to have her as well :-),
And you realize you can have all this what you want, just my continuing your boring monotonous life. Well, I’ve realized that, so I am gonna end this blog here and get back to my boring life and see where it takes me..

Best of luck to you all and I sincerely wish that this year, you get all what you wanted for long.

Take care. Bye.
Lucky
