Life Reloaded!!!

These days I have been really annoyed by these newspapers, especially the Marathi ones. Every week there is some damn article about Health, yoga, and other topics. Most of these article are similar in nature, as they inform in the same say, what to do and what not to do. Some talk about how to keep your computer use while some about Mobiles. To be honest I really wonder if the person who writes those articles actually applies them in his own life. I am not saying all of them are totally wrong, but if you look around, you will find many many people doing things which are mentioned as "No No" in those articles, but they never face any problems. I am a computer engineer and of course, use computer for hours. Can you tell me how many people sit for just an hour and then have a walk then come back to work. Is it really practical??? Same is with eyes. No doubt you have to take care of health, but there are a limit to all such things. Pak gaya hun yaar.....

In last one week I have seen 4 people in my own office using iPhone. Am I dreaming or Apple has finally entered Indian market???

Did you know that one third of all the viewers all over the world are from India. I mean nation "India" and not Indian subcontinent. So just imagine the viewership of Hockey in other countries, especially European ones. Of course, they have much much better infrastructure and thats why they have been successful in recent past unlike India or Pakistan. The FHI (International Hockey Federation) is its best to revive Indian Hockey. But as we have this week what results it is producing. I hope at least the women team qualify for the Olympics.

I have made all the albums in the Picasa online storage as Public. You can have a look at it here . Don't hesitate to comment on the albums.

Secrets are integral part of our life. There is no single person in this world who has no secrets hidden in his or her heart. Its foolish to tell all your secrets to the world, but even more foolish to keep all secret. You have revel them as and when required at the right time. You should have enough trust on the other person who will henceforth share that secret. But what if the trusted person makes a mistake and tells some one else the very thing you want to hide? Imagine the situation when you are at the same place where such a situation arises. The embarrassment is more when the person you don't want be informed is one your best friends. Its a difficult situation. I know it. Well, because I went through all this on last Saturday. I just wonder how that person is feeling now. I can only hope that he still believes me and my friendship.

Yesterday I got a LG KG300 from my company as I am working on a product related to website on mobiles. It requires GPRS and my very own Nokia 2300 model was not adequate. The mobile from company is not new mobile but it has got a very good technical specs, so I am happy. It has got 2 Mega pixel Camera. It was a surprise for my parents and my friends as I had told only 2 people about this mobile phone. Cheers for my new (new in terms of ownership) mobile.

A bad news for all sports lover in India. India was not able to qualify for the Olympics in Hockey. Its too sad that once the greatest superpower in hockey, Indian players would have to watch that Olympics hockey while sitting at home. With Cricketers doing so well Australia, its going to be very difficult for Hockey to get fundings in the future. Here is the news .

     Yea, I know it may look strange and even more surprising(to Vikram also). But it happened!!! And it happened yesterday. Well, I decided to give a birthday party to my school friends. We were going to "Sardar Pavbhaji". Before all of us could gather, I had gone to Nik's place, so from there we came to our usual meeting place the "Katta" near Marine drive sea face. While we were coming, I had a brief discussion with Nikhil regarding some of my old mistakes, one of which was lake of passion towards Programming even though I love programming and software. I shouldn't have discussed  that issue, because it made me frustrated and angry with myself.      By 6.30 all of us were present...actually not all. Kalpesh had not come. And I knew when I tell them that Kalpesh would be joining us soon, there would be some grim faces. The reason? His temper. The worst I have ever seen. But not surprising for an Artist... So when I finally told Aditya and ...

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list...
