In love with Black Sabbath

Visiting my blog after almost 2 months..The time was a real learning experience for me...Job tussels,politics,Power issues it has showed me everything from all the highs to all the lows...While I was sitting idle whole day doing nothing just listening to music on my new W810i.
My friend told me to listen to Black Sabbath to get a different taste of Rock and heavy metal.I started listening to Black Sabbath which I heard is the father of rock during 1960-70...I found one of its song dictating my state today.I have modified it little bit so here it goes..

" Finished with my job cause it couldnt help me with my mindPeople think Im insane because I am browning all the timeAll day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfyThink Ill lose my mind if I dont find something to pacifyCan you help me thought you were my friendWhoah yeahI need someone to show me the things in life that I cant findI cant see the things that make true happiness, I must be blindMake a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cryHappiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unrealAnd so as you hear these words telling you now of my stateI tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but its too late" "

Trip to Hyderabad Part - 2

Trip to Hyderabad Part - 2


First of all my apologies for delay in posting the part 2 of my story..Its almost more then a month, since I came back from Hydearabd….Its very likely I might miss few interesting things coz of my weak memory.
Very same weekend Malik also joined us in Hyderabad..Aab malik bhai humare neta aaye hue hon aur BC na ho aisa hona mushkil hai….But yes this time he was very busy in giving all his gayan to few people there…After waiting for whole day I decided to go to D place and meet him there itself…It was fun after some rounds of BC we decided all decided to go out for dinner…Finally at 9:30 we reached OUR Place as usual a beautiful ambience but due to rush .We didn’t get the best seat that Shruti and Neha was trying for but some how we found a place very near to group of people who was singing some Gazals…We started with our favorite Masala pappad…I ordered for some Votka and some other people for beer…Another round of BC started but after having a good food while coming out Nipun took a cigar and in the curiosity to see it when I was trying to take it from his hand half of the portion was left in his hand and rest in mine…
Nipun reaction was amazing Shruti was also standing beside us it was worth watching that. We couldn’t stop laughing but we have to control ourself as it might make Nipun more irritated…while coming back it was decided that malik will be staying at Jaya place and I will be staying at Pandey place…
When we reached pandey place he rang the bell as I was not aware his cousin is also there..After knocking the door for 5 min pandey decided to knock the window of the room which was just beside the main entrance door…His brother shouted “Aa rahe hain” but he again went back to sleep I can’t forget that instance finally we went inside and after that me and pandey keep discussing on several things for couple of hours after which I don’t remember…
Next day was Sunday and when we reached D place to meet rest of the people we decided to go to RunWay 9. Another good place to hangout on the outskirts of Hyderabad.
Shipra also came at D place to meet me…Some how we spend that complete week fighting we each other on small small issues may be I was getting irritated very easily…
She joined us for runway 9 and so as our senior Rajat…
While going to runway 9 I was not sure of the route and as per the instructions given by the Jaya we have taken some wrong turn but after traveling for nearly 20 mins we realized we are out of the way but we joined the rest of the group in short time….As soon as we eneterd there all were ready for a round of F1 race (as per our standards)…Our first round was more of a practice session real fun was about to begin …After spending some time on Pool etc we decided to have another round of F1 racing and this time our shetty pale made me atleast felt dizzy I was taking a very sharp U turn and he came from the back with full speed and overtake me I was sure he is going to bang on the sidelines but suddenly he pressed the brakes and his car took 360 degrees turn in front of my car I some how manage to escape from a clash otherwise I would have been lying on the track…
I know its very difficult to put the same thrill as I had when it was actually happening with us…Also in another incident I was trying to over take one of the person but he was not allowing me to do that. So I decided to finally bang my car into his turn when he was taking the turn I deliberately banged my car into his J
After having fun at runway 9 we decided to have our dinner at some Dhaba

Trip to Hyd Part -1

Hi All,
After having a monotonous routine of 1 year I finally made a trip to Hyd.I very much needed this change as I feel its the only part of my life which is constant I am so used to see changes around me that if something sticks for a long time I feel something is not correct.
On 17th April I reached airport 1 hr before the time to avoid any mishappenings that keep happening with me all my dear and near frnds know what I am talking abt.As usual i flight got delayed for an hour and I was wondering what to do next there was no seat to sit on the airport and I wanted to go to Toilet(When I am idle I drink lot of water) as it was getting difficult for me to control can't leave my luggage alone I saw a french girl sitting in one corner I approached her and requested her to take care of my luggage and she did...When I came back I didn't find her BF sitting there as soon as I started moving in search of a place to sit she asked me where will u go with this much of luggage the airport is full I said even I don't know I am searching for a place to sit on which she laughed and said u can sit here my BF(by taking his name somewhat weired I don't remember) will not come for another 20-30 mins u can sit here I was happy and we started chatting it was a good time pass for me.
Socha chalo shurat to aachi hui hai flight bhi aachi hi hogi but what should I say ek buddha mere pass beth gaya and he was so rude he didn't allow me to go to toilet till the time pilot switched off the seat belt lights finally I gave up and asked the airhostess to change my seat she said sir Plane is almost full please adjust....Once we reached near hyd plane lights were switched off and wow what an awesome scene below it was lights all over the place and I could see the cars moving though they were looking like ants but the scene was amazing....We keep moving around hyd for 20 mins as there was no parking space and weather was getting bad...Finally we landed and as soon as I stepped down inder devta ne mera swagat kiya...Jayaram mere bhagwan ne unhe mere swagat ke liye bheja tha.......
I caught an auto for Uppal office and it started raining more heavily.I checked into my hotel room and to my surprise I never expected Genpact to spend that much on infrastructure it was not less then a 3 start hotel and the room that I got was only for VP's and above.Due to the shortage of rooms they had given me that room but what ever may be the reason I was about to spend my next 25 days there.It was already 10:30 PM cafeteria was closed and I started hunting for food my card didn't working in Uppal office and it was sunday taken help of some guard to reach the cafeteria of office and had some stubs so all set as far as the food is concerned but now I wanted to smoke and due to heavy rain all the khokas were closed I was wondering from where I can get a smoke I went out of the office and after 10 mins of walk I was able to find a pub outside which there was a shop just like we have outside Masala.
2 days passed in my daily routine of attending the training from 10 - 2 and then going to office till 7 and then back to room by 9:30..Wednesday I called Jayaram and asked him to meet on lunch next day while comming back to the hotel and then the a quick change some thing doesn't happen with me how can this be possible I forgot my cell in cab and I realized this only after having my dinner and reaching back to my room that my cell is not present in my room neither in my pocket I asked some one to call on my cell number it was ringing and that was the last ring that I heard on that cell and It was gone....I was running from Post to pillar first to find out what was the cab number and then who was the driver in that at that particular time so that I can ask him abt the cell.I was 5:30 in the morning when I got to know the cab number and driver name but by that driver shift was already over and only hope was when he will come back at 7:00 PM next day.I talked to few people but I was aware its gone and I will get it back....to add to my frustation my home number got changed few days back only and I didn't remeber it by heart the only number I know at that time was of my brother and vasudha delhi number thats all....In the evening I made a plan to meet shruti,shipra and pandey at shruti place luckily Jayaram also came there and he was cursing me but I made him whole afternoon for lunch finally we went out for a dinner and then the real trip to hyd begin...I was in no mood to go back to uppal so I decided to stay with sam,jayaram and nipun as soon as I entered there house i was surpirsed to see the ABC tripathi there but as always he is a good entertainer when ever I satyed at there home till the time he was there I never slept before 5 in the morning as we both used to sleep in the hall..
One day Nipun brought some stuff from IIIT and I thought of trying it nipun was preparing the stuff and tripathiji was narrating all the stories around stuff it was a good fun for me I tried it but nothing happened on that day,I didn't felt anything.We started meeting for lunch dinner almost everyday and our BC topic horizons kept on increasing from Politics, Batchmates, Old memories, novels, stocks etc.....One night jayaram tooth was paining alot and as a daily routine we stated our sabha at around 11:30 -12 and the topic was why companies are heading towards south only why not north...Since jayaram was in pain he didn't speak much but it was a nice heated discussion b/w Nipun and Tripathi for its details and about rest of my trip ..will continue it in my second part till then alvida....
