Breakfast@Langoor
..ahahha...........
Few days ago, at the institute canteen I was having breakfast with some of my friends. Saw this dog staring at everyone's food and her eyes said "I am starving"....This dog had given birth to few puppies some days back. So I decided to feed her with some more biscuits that were in my bag. It pounced at the biscuits and finished them in a moment. Looking at that, I thought she was really hungry and so decide to feed her with more biscuits. Bought a packet, started giving her the biscuits and kept looking with amazement at the speed she was munching them. And then....................
All of a sudden, a langoor jumped from nowhere on her and they started with a fight that lasted for few seconds... And fortunately the skinny dog backed out instantly otherwise she would have been blown away by the langoor.
And then...............................
The langoor almost jumped on the biscuit packet that I was in my hand and I reacted by throwing the packet to the person sitting right in front of me... And he jumped on him. But luckily the langoor moved away and sat right next to me and started staring in my eyes... it was f***ing frightening. For the next 10 minutes it didn't move so did we. He kept wondering where were the biscuits. Everyone in the canteen was staring at us and were amused and having fun. I had hidden the biscuits behind my bag. Abruptly the friend sitting next to me threw the biscuits at a distance and finally langoor went off and all of us slowly walked off.
Seriously it was a breakfast that I will remember for some years to come.
This was my second such encounter with a langoor, previously I woke up in the morning in the hostel room to find a langoor sitting right next to me...

Experience@Indian Public Service
"A dead fish can dirty the whole pond": This is the story of the Indian Public Service Department.
I think most of the Indian Public Service Departments(PSD) have never been respected by the Indian Citizens because of the corruption that prevails. Torturing normal and innocent citizens for no reason and letgo the culprits has been a common phenomenon in various public departments. Tele-Serial "Office-Office" was able to bring out this aspect of the public service departments brilliantly.
I think most of us genuinely don't have high regards for these PSDs except the Army and other Defence departments in the country. Rest are just a source of getting things done. As a matter of fact there are few good people in the PSDs who are there at the service of the citizens. But certain section of people in PSDs manage to earn a bad name for themselves and tarnish the image of their respective departments.
What makes me write this post, is the incident that happened with me yesterday at the DADAR station in Mumbai.
I had a train to catch from Dadar station to Ahmedabad. I reached Dadar Station from Mahim by Taxi. After reaching the station, I went to the inquiry counter to find out the platform number from where the train was to depart. I didn't get any proper answer. On my way to finding the correct platform I found a female friend who too was struggling to locate the right platform. So we both started hunting together. And in the process we ended up reaching the wrong platform and after asking a hawker there we finally got the correct answer. So while walking from the wrong platform to the correct platform we were stopped by some TC in some blue clothes, who asked for the ticket. We showed our tickets which said reservation from Mumbai Central. But the TC was not ready to listen to us and was arguing with both of us that we were at the wrong platform.
I was amazed at the allegation that was made at us. If I am correct, if we have genuine ticket we can be on any platform. But the TC was after our life and said you can't be on any other platform except the one from where the train departs.
He took both of us to some shabby room on PLATFORM NO.5, WESTERN RAILWAY, DADAR, where there were 2-3 more people who were getting unnecessarily tortured by the TCs. I told him that we were struggling to find the right platform and by mistake ended up at the wrong platform, but he was not ready to listen and asked for Rs. 504 as FINE. I argued with him for some 15 minutes but in VAIN. He abused me with nasty words such as " TU CHOR LAGTA HAIN SAALE, HARAMI HAIN, MUMBAI MEIN LADKI GHUMA RAHA HAIN" and many more such words. I was totally disgusted but was helpless as I had a train to catch in 5 minutes. When I told him that I am getting late for the train he replied " MAA CHUDAIYE TRAIN". There were two more TCs there, and when I asked them to help me out, they didn't bother to even reply back.
He then called another friend of mine, who was standing few meters away from the place where I was getting abused. TC said " Yeh sharif lagta hain isilye mein tujhe chor raha hu, par tujhe Rs. 254 fine dena hoga". I said, but why should I pay a fine, without any fault of mine. But he was not ready to listen and I ended up paying the fine as I had to catch the train.
I was not the only one who was humiliated but also few others. The TCs were asking for fine from others and in the process they were literally putting their hands inside their pants, all over and snatching money. It was absolutely a hideous act.
After I left the room with my frustration level at its highest level, I went to another TC on the platform asking him if the fine was valid. He said " Aisa kuch nahi hota and he can't fine you". I asked him for help, he said " Mujhe Kya Pata".
I couldn't do anything and had to leave with a disgusted feeling. Felt as if I was totally fooled and ridiculed by these irresponsible public service people.
Herewith i am attaching the reservation ticket and the excess fare ticket receipt.
I hope I can do something about this and atleast make sure that these things are not repeated in future.

Nostalgic@Favorites
Nostalgia is something that never seems to go, as the time passes by, the emotion seems to get stronger and deeper.
Sports has always been my Favorite. Have grownup seeing various sports like tennis, cricket, formula one, football, athletics, table tennis and many more.
Over the years, I had followed certain players in different games. Some of them being favorites and some just time pass :P I think everyone has a favorite in a particular sport which acts as a catalyst for one to keep following the game till the drive to follow finally fades away... .. .
All these years I have been stalking specific players and the two players who have always kept me motivating are Sachin Tendulkar in Cricket and Steffi Graf in Tennis. Out of the two one has retired and Tendulkar is inching towards it.
Even 10 years after her retirement, I can't believe that she is not playing professional tennis anymore. Even today I can watch her past matches on youtube and read articles written about her years back. So great has been her aura that she still manages to bring a smile on my face.
Tendulkar. There was a time when I was so nervous watching him play that I would change the channel (Similar was the story when Graf used to play). The sole reason I started following cricket was Tendulkar. Today the whole world is speculating about his retirement, which is sooner or later going to come true. For sure even years after his retirement I can read about him and watch his innings online. The day he announces his retirement, will mean a curtain on an era that will never be repeated and end of my motivation to follow cricket.

Does recycling of products lead to use of more products.... ?
A thought came to my mind...we use certain products more, just thinking that the certain products are recyclable... what about the energy that goes in recycling those products?

Why does it happen at times...
*You know a person for years, but you still really don't know the person.
*And you know the person for few days, and it seems you know everything about the individual...
I know its about quality and not quantity... but still I fail to understand.

I always keep wondering...
Is it good to live a planned future?
Or is it better to let tomorrow be a mystery...?
OR take each day as it comes...?

"What happened in Mumbai was an unpardonable crime": Pranab Mukherjee
Only the Mumbai Attacks are unpardonable??? What happened to all the other terrorist/militant attacks that have been happening over the years and especially in 2008. Only that the rich and famous were the casualties this time(Mumbai attacks)"its unpardonable"... Is it justified?
What happened to the enquiry on the attacks that happened in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, Jaipur and especially Guwahati. Guwahati has already been hit by two more attacks this year...and we are just 10 days into 2009.
Why has nothing being done in these places? Why are they forgotten after a week's hype surrounding the massacre. Why? Just because innocent who lost their lives were not Page3 people...
