Life Reloaded!!!

Time to change the theme before I post about Ladakh!

After an eventful 10 days, I am sitting quietly at home just pondering over the incidents that happened. I think I will blog about the important things that happened over the fortnight -  Susmit's Wedding (Right from the so called Bachelors' party till " Pach Partavan ") An interesting discussion with office friends

Its been so long since I blogged last time that even my browser history does not have my own blogger link now. Well, this post is specifically dedicated to 2 of my friends. One who on her FB post forgot to mention me in asking fellow bloggers to start blogging again, but remembered me after hitting the submit button ;)  Thanks   Rutuja for asking me to come out of hibernation :)  The other one is the person who made the most fun of my "self centered" writing when I was writing the blog (and making fun/exposing other friends), suggested me that I could use my blog style of writing to write a speech about a dear friend of ours. The speech would talk about the friend's good/bad qualities, his past "quotes" (" Papad tar papad "), memories related to him. We would present it at the time of his engagement to his bride to be. Now, since I have stopped writing the blog in 2013, I was not sure how I would approach the whole thing. So I have decided th...

After a series of blog posts, I had decided that I would write about Motivation - What really motivates me? But never got the motivation to complete the post :)

So this year I completed a hat trick of watching the finals of Sawai . Like the previous 2 occasions, this too was a great experience. Most of the plays were good and the overall performance level was better than that of the 2012 finals. Most of the plays were based social issues like parenting, cynicism among the middle class, etc. Unlike the previous finals, not a single one was of romantic/love genre. Here is the list of finalists- Nat S. M. R. T. We missed this one as we were late. But Viraj's father told us, this was similar to the play " Natasamrat " but a modern version. Emotional Atyachar This was a story of an employee in an e-CRM firm which is hired by clients so that someone can communicate with their family. These clients are too "busy" with their work that they don't have time to speak with their wife/kids/parents. The agent/employee E26 slowly starts getting emotionally attached with his clients' families. Finally, when he is about t...

So it is time for the big night of the year! Sawai Ekankika Finals will start in some time now. It will be interesting to see this year's performances and stories. I will update on the same during the weekend.

I was returning from my usual night walks after dinner, when I realized that the Sinhal classes at the corner still has the same banners it had in 2003. It says from Sinhal class, Pooja Garg was the HSC topper in 2003 and Yashodhan Kanoriya as ICSE topper in 2001, both my classmates in D. G. Ruparel College . Brought back some old memories :)

Why does every other scam have to be postfixed with a "gate". I understand after the Watergate Scandal made this postfixing famous. Now, it seems so lame! I wonder how sales of Coalgate Palmolive Ltd. migth be affected with the latest Coal scam being termed as "Coalgate" scandal.

I would be running in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marahon 2013. I will be taking part in the Half Marathon (21km) and will be hoping that I better my preivous performance. I had taken 4 hours and 20 min to complete the race (which is pathetic by any standards) in 2009. This time my aim is to complete the race in 3 hours. Is any of you running in the Half Marathon next year?

I was just cleaning my part of the cupboard today. I saw my father's old folder containing some files/receipts. I found his salary slip of 2004. I just saw his date of joining. It was 7th February , 1969 :)

Due to the Gurgaon and Bangalore trips my Google Reader count has breached the 1000 count barrier. Usually I go for the "Sort By Magic" mode which allows me to read 9GAG and other important blogs first. When I tried the Older items first mode, just found that I news articles from 20th Dec, 2011 to read :)

I just saw a BBC documentary on Uncertainty principle. An interesting fact given in the documentary was that Sir J. J. Thompson got the Nobel prize for Physics for discovering electron and proving that electron is  particle, whereas his son George Thompson got the Nobel prize in Physics for proving that electrons and wavelike characteristics!!!

Didn't I say, I couldn't find the phrase at too many places? I was wrong. It never appeared in the book :) http://9gag.com/gag/702254

Boman Irani's son's wedding took place yesterday. Why do I blog about it? Here is my "log" of yesterday night. I was going for my regular walk after dinner, I was surprised to see a Mercedes near our building's gate. (WTH! They have lights to their side mirrors?) Next I saw a BMW (I love the BMWs more than any other cars), Then I saw two guys standing outside the car in black suits. One of them was familiar. (He looks familiar... This is the guy who appears on MTV or Channel V... Some Cyrus) Oh yea its Cyrus Sahukar! But what was he doing there? Oh yea, there was some Parsi wedding going on at that completely weird place which surrounded by trees all around. I never thought somebody would host a wedding at such place. As kids we used to call it Bhoot Bangla considering the fact that I never saw anyone going in or coming out of the place and there used to be hardly any light there. As we went ahead to the main road, I saw a line of cars parked. There were BMWs, A...

Which one of this is true? Is it that dollar price increases whenever I desire to buy iPod Touch from US or is it that I desire to buy iPod Touch when the dollar price increases? Whatever it is, I again have to wait :(

Remember the time when I used to repeat those words? Recently, when Vikas kept on pulling Piyush's leg over the use of phrase "Main kya kehta hoon...", it reminded me of the time when Sankalp did the same with me :)

Last Saturday when I met my friends at Marine Drive, there was an interesting coincidence. Out of 4 of us, one is a trader, another is a Banker, one of us works for the financial regulator and the fourth one works for a credit rating agency. So much for the financial system :)

It feels so good to be back to Linux :) Let me get my DVD drive fixed, then it will be Linux on my laptop too!!!
