Long time no c++

It is again a long long time since I wrote the last entry. it seems I am losing the will to blog. Thing that started out of excitement is no longer thrilling for me. Actually, the reason is that I blog when I want to shelve out my frustration,joy,anxiety ,fear and feelings but it isn't that simple. I child pees when he/she wants to . You cant force him/her against there wish and make them pee. Just like that, I write when I feel the burden on my head has receded(which usually occurs on friday or saturday night as weekends are now off) But again, writing is subject to other factors like thoughts that can be posted on blog and that means I should have read atleast some quality during the week. While writing this blog, I remembered that it so happened that when in banglore, I used to willingly go to office on saturday night as I didn't felt like sleeping and would be browsing or writing blogs or watching some movie. Man, i surely miss that luxury of 15mins drive to office here in delhi. It once happened that me and my roommates went to his office at 1:30 am to play fussball .He was escorting us to his cabin and we were pretending in front of the security guard as if we were employee there. Banglore surely has a lasting impression on memory. Things like getting drenched in rain while coming back from office to my flat , riding bike in rain, going to temple on saturday or tuesday , eating out at andhra restraunts, having maggi/pop corns in the middle of nights , laughing on non-sense jokes , making fun of each other, fighting (i mean real fighting but without hurting) , having a walk post dinner , striking a bargain with auto waala for going home after mid night from movie theater, planning to night shows while having dinner and then immediately rushing for the theater, buying tickets in black , biking with room mates in pillion, cleaning my clothes every weekend, cleaning utensils whenever maid goes on sabbatical(the turn for cleaning up utensils was round robin with preparing food) ... wow that is quite a memory


A funny incident happened today. I was driving to office and had crossed Delhi Cantt flyover. There was a Jam and as a result the traffic was slow. Suddenly, a cop comes from the side and asks me where am I going? I showed my hand in straight direction meaning I will be going straight heading towards Dhaula Kuan. He in a very humble gesture from his side asked "Can you drop me till Dhaula Kuan?" and humbly opened my car door and sat beside me and bang !!(closed the door). He was running late and hence didn't had the time to wait for my response. I could have said no but he didn't cared about it. I was kind of stuck as giving lift to strangers even if he is in Police Uniform is not a safe thing to do in Delhi.I drove for some time till I hit Ring Road and found that there was heavy rush. So i decided to change my route and told him that I would be taking an alternate route since there will be office hour traffic on the ring road. The trick worked and he told me to drop him at the next signal so that he can get some bus. The funny part in this incident is that a cop comes and sits in your car for there personal reasons. The incidents highlight the attitude cops have developed towards general masses and kind of behaviour you should be expecting while interacting with any cop.

Read a blog by some news person on IBN regarding Sivaji(new rajnikant's movie) and found it interesting but deeply deflating . If you are not versed with the language of the movie, you should prepare yourself mentally for that. On the personal front, a good friend/ex-colleague of mine is getting engaged coming week . Wish him all the goodness of life for future. On the sad note, one of very close friend is not going through a very good time(health wise). He and some one from his family is ailing and wish him and his family a speedy recovery.Take care dude. Things keep changing .. just keep up the good spirits ...

To close, here is a nice song I found after searching the web for over 2 hours. I listened to this song while driving back home but totally forgot the song. I tried hard but just could not gather the lyrics of the song. Finally, i retired and as soon as I hit the bed, I recalled the song. rest is history. You can see a short video of this song from this URL

Take care
