When things go wrong and I turn to see
It's weird now that it's just me
All I do is a thing of the past
Friends I had and those I lost
In time I know we'll meet again
To share laughter and all the pain
Now it seems there's no one around
Just me staring at the ground
It slips beneath me from time to time
I grasp and hold on to life's vine
Its odd and sometimes yet so small
For as time goes on I grow so small
Each day now flies by so fast
A moment I wait and in the shadow it's cast
People come in these days for a while
They smile they sing they even cry like a child
A day will come not long from now
I'd wanna turn back time somehow
Roll to the days I sang and smiled
Be with people that were worthwhile
Not that new friends dont mean that much
Connections weak and soul untouched
It's me I know I dont let them in
Dont give a chance for them to win
My heart and my soul cries out again
Make me wat I was when I was ten
A bird, a girl a lively soul
Not a care or worry in the world
Frustration and lies have taken over
Draggin me to a place no longer sober
Searching for materialistic gain and things
To somehow drive away this pain it brings
No one these days can see wat I feel
The mask I wear seldom reveals
Feelings or things I'd like be known
Emotions they say weaken the grown
Humour has taken a twisted path
Responisibility and sarcasm brew in its bath
Time has gone for honesty or love
This day a fool I have become!!!!

Star Spangled Banter
The nite before was full of its suprises when a friend (Anubhav) came over with a rather unusual gift! A fish bowl with two amazingly cute Orandas ( Fancy gold fish). After cleaning the bowl and setting it up with the fish and playin with them I decided to konk only to have all u wonderful ppl call me and leave me all starry eyed from the wishes ( and I kept up till around 3). Oh and btw my new roomie who's just moved in landed up with a real cool perfume and then resumed watchin her tv - she needs a daily dose of 3-4 hrs else she wont feel she's downloaded enuf material for her night fantasies :P heheheheh
The D day started on a rather hopeful note when my early morning japanese class was cancelled as my prof isn't keeping well (sad for him but great for me ) Reached office at a lazier hour than usual to find my cubicle cramped with balloons and ppl all waiting to hog on sweets. Was bloody tired smiling away to glory and saying "Thank you please help urself to some sweets". Then the long list of phone calls and emails...and ooooh 2 damn hot guys (god knows where they came from) in office came up and chatted with me for like 15 -20 mins.... hehehehehe
the day went on with wishes, winks and work (though the last I barely did as mostly stared at me screen while answering calls :) ) The day went by in a whiz with the office guys gettin me a cute wood – cut jewellery box and some chocolates.
Towards the afternoon when all was just abt dying I had my darling(Richu) send me a box of Oh-So-Awesome Chocolate Brownies all the way from Naaaaagpuuuuurr ..... I totally controlled my self from opening them in office as I knew they'd be over in a jiffy so quietly hid them in my bag and went home to indulge in the sinful taste of awesome brownies.... (for info the place from where she sent it was Tauby's - known for their sinful confectionerys and weight gainers hahhaahaha)
Anyways soon very bored at work and majorly excited abt the evening I was off home.... went and felt like a school kid hoggin on chips :D (the ones that are generally served at bday parties with a slice of cake)
Then began the evening extravaganza :).... Dee came over and picked me up for dinner....
We went to this place called Ista - Amazing ambience, semi open air poolside restaurant.
The service was awesome. The company Oh-So-Charming! The Food so delicious! And to top it off there was live music playin some awesome songs - black magic woman to sounds of silence.... guitar and the sax :) Totally starry eyed by then we were done with dinner and I guess 'twas time to go home :)
At home I was left in a total daze with the effects of an awesome day and in my possession few very priceless pieces of art and love and a B-E-A-utiful pen to write all this down with(Waterman -paris courtesy Dee).
All this took a while to settle in and I just couldn’t get sleep :)
Finally coaxed myself into bed by 2 only to wake up late for work today hehehehhehe
Comin to office I find the most unusual mail from my HOD (Very hot married german guy) wishing me a great birthday and all and personalizing a mail that he generally doesnt do .... Lucky me I say!!!
Anyways so that's abt it for my star spangled banter :) thanks to everyone who made it so so so special...All the emails phone calls and pings :D
Love ya all totally!!!!

Bittersweet Symphony!!!
A drop and another after that
On and on they flow in succession
A perfect beat to the rhythm
And then all in one splat!
It rings and rings around my ear
The rambling house fly she is
Making music or so she says
Sometimes things I cant hear.
A noise here and one there again
Make for new beats and sounds
Making melody oh so clear
An now the flow oh so plain
The dew drops in the early morn
From leaf to leaf they go
The birds chirping away
Giving way to the sounds of the horn!
Everyone around and in the colony
Have their own rhythm and voice
Together with the beats of my heart
Give melody to the perfect bittersweet symphony!!!
On and on they flow in succession

Cleanup!!
Every once in a while we do a cleanup...just like our rooms, cabinets etc. Generally the things we don’t need anymore are discarded and the ones we rarely use are kept at the back of the shelves. Similarly even with life... our brain processes memory with the most recalled and used bits to the ones seldom used and catalogs it accordingly. The bits that we should never remember are most often thrown out unconsciously and the ones which should reside inside keep popping in our head every now and then. Feelings most often are kept in such a way that our body recognizes the best and the worst much faster than the ones that don’t have a higher impact. Its probably because the extremes are the ones we use to compare for the newer emotions or data we receive daily. Anything in between is gray matter - mostly difficult to differentiate between. Black and white are the purest colors and so the highest degree of feelings on the positive or negative are the only purest forms of that emotion. Comparison is a very important tool used for almost anything as categorizing is done within the head and outside with or without your control over it. So here coming to the crux of the matter - Every now and then I categorize my life and wardrobes and take full control over the process. I don’t want to forget things and feelings I’d like to keep with me forever just because I’m not in touch with it or do not have more of it in the present but I want it to be there with me. So here I am today Cleaning Up. Its been a while I know but I guess its time now for that dreaded cleanup.
I guess we all like to keep the happy things and discard the unhappy ones but it's time not do that and keep it as reference to what I do not want ever! It's been for real long that I keep telling myself that what one does to me it's not necessary the next will do the same but alas! This is the real world and you shall receive in accordance with what u will or will not allow. You cannot change what someone will say or do but u can change the effect it has on you. So this time don't let things get to you, let the lessons that come stick in your head. One can only control the way they feel and not what someone else dishes out due to bad circumstances. U can control feelings and not circumstances! So well the next time someone says something to you good or bad you will generally feel good or bad just evaluating the weightage of that statement or action but that's not it - if u feel its repetitive its generally coz your rules aren't set in your head and the grey is more than the distinctive black or white. This is generally because u don't have things sorted in your own head and hence you don't have a clear hold on the situation.
Not always can we look at personal matters so objectively and cold heartedly but sometimes this approach helps you to keep your standards and priorities sorted out and helps you from getting too entangled in the general rut of the "Moment".
Most often this is most difficult when we're dealing with someone of high importance - family, close friends, lovers and idols! When one deals with this its difficult to let go of the position/ status you've assigned to this one person who's causing you all this anguish and you're not sure whether your supposed to let go(clean up) or let them continue to bog your mind down with all their comments, actions and inconsistencies or plain shortcomings (putting it on back burner).I've come to believe no matter what u cannot make people see what they have or don't unless they open their eyes. Helping is what u can do and that's it! Undue advantage and taking for granted are the side effects when the one u place high and above steps down and doesn't treat you with the same respect you have given them. In this case most often you're hurt the most and wonder what went wrong. Well "You" went wrong in - placing faith and trust in probably someone without them earning it! Even if done so one should at intervals check if there is a mutual flow of respect and maintain the sanctity of the relationship. If you feel its one way - whichever way it may be then we surely have a problem. Fix it or Let it go!
What happens hereon will be your fault as you knew it was gonna happen sooner or later. So now we are back in that state of utter chaos. Well this time keep your experiences and maintain the bar! This holds true for the good things in life too. You cant get too comfortable with all you receive as sooner or later your not maintaining your end of the bargain. If u gained some ground with whomever including Family you always have to maintain the bar. You cannot get too comfortable just being at the receiving end coz sooner or later the one giving feels cheated and then all you get is either because they cant stop now or because its more to do with empathy of knowing if you lose this you might lose a lot! So even when its good every now and then you have to in some way or the other make the parties involved constantly interested in this. Everything in life though is not looked at with a business mind, if you do so you maintain your good ties for a longer period than when in a state of "Yeah they're always there for me" or "They're taking care of it why bother". You cannot just sit on your arse and expect things to run smoothly coz sooner or later the lubrication is gone and your machine will fall apart!
The Cleaning is required. Rejuvenate everything you have to make it all new and perfectly oiled at every opportunity you have. If you don't oil it then who will? Everyone responds to gestures from the heart - when one puts in some effort and keeps the fire burning then even the other hand raises to shelter it from the wind. If it doesn't then you know for sure that THIS AINT WORKING NO MORE and let it be.
So now I'm off Cleaning - hoping most make the transition to the new phone book :)

A Fond Farewell
“I got thru a b-school” ,”Yipee”, “Charrraaaaasss”…..
Jubilant and excited they call all of us and share their joy of getting thru the b schools of their choice. All in that moment everyone’s reached that state of ecstasy and there’s this sudden burst of smiles and a short thank you to HIM. And then the months pass in a jiffy and the notice period comes to an end and its finally time to go. Life’s passing by in fleeting moments and somewhere everyone close is dreading the moment when we have to say our goodbyes. The moment has come. It’s the day now where I will smile while I say goodbye hoping that we will meet again. Knowing life takes you to beautiful places and new faces and considering the herb intake resulting to memory loss is more obvious than not that somewhere down the line we may lose touch and may even forget all the times and laughs shared. These will be remembered when somewhere in the company of new friends we recollect those times…
Here goes for all the times we’ve had and those we hoped we would :)
To Shanks, Kavya and Madzz… For the new life in front of you!
The alarm rings and its time to catch the cab
It’s the last flight outta here this time
At the door and looking back twice
Checking again if u’ve left anything behind
Turn and then move on again
You have someplace to be
Smiles and butterflies all alike
For things that u’ve been waiting to see
All the eyes are stuck on you right now
Friends, foes and family too
Glimpses to keep forever with them
From what u were and how u’ve grown
Memory tests the sands of time
As phone calls and mails await
Busy as u maybe from now
Reply even though if late
Tell of times you go thru
Smiles and tears all alike
Make me see all there is
And all that u feel like
Time and again we shall meet
In memories of days gone by
Right now all I wish to say
Is do well and a wishful goodbye!!!

For the Friend in You ... From the Friend in Me
Putting words to pen was never tough
Although today I huff and I puff
Thinking of the right words to describe
The exact feeling that exact vibe
That makes me feel lil bubbles burst inside
Like the coke add running now world wide
How do I say it and what words to use
To make u understand why ur the muse
Of my writings today and for a while to come
Giving my heart now rhythmic beats of a drum
It all sounds gibberish and I feel so too
But thoughts race outta my mind that was once blue
Catching fleeting thoughts was never so tough
As before the sight of u never played bluff
A glimpse and a frown turns upwards now
A joke though at times so pakaooo
Takes me to a place I knew was within
That a friend like u turned tears to a grin
I wanted to tell u how I feel
About the way u spin my worldly wheel
I hope I do not come across too strong
My words at times do come out wrong
I wish to say that I care a lot
U’ll be in my mind even after I’m long forgot!!!

Trust ...
I say I trust you
It makes u feel good
But not for a moment do I
Let u look under the hood
I criticize and complain
At times wish to change
Leaving things not the way they are
Not even a single dirty pane
The windows I gaze out of
Let me see a different world
Sometimes it shows the truth
And then again it fools the girl
Innocence and starry eyes
Make me believe what I see
Perspective and reality
Tweak at times my beautiful dreams
Then I get lost in all the confusion
Created by my methodical brain
Only to come to terms with what I know
And mostly follow the path of my chosen train.
If u try to know me
You’ll have to try very hard
For though I say I trust you
I’ve never let u get that far
Maybe I’m tough and critical
Of what you say and do
But I know everything that I Lack
And things I Learn and Need from you
Last but not the least
The trust I speak about
Is the guard I haven’t let down
The door you’ve been trying to part!
It makes u feel good
But not for a moment do I
Let u look under the hood
I criticize and complain

Sarcasm
When words flow to the rhythm of a beat
To make every sentence sound so sweet
This is not one of those lines
Do u think sweetness is the only thing that rhymes?
Find beauty in words often thrown
In a manner that one refuses to own
Maybe from time to time you’ll see
It can ring in your ears like the humming of the bee
The time does not dictate its act
More often than not its just stating the fact
What makes u shrug or run away from it
Is that its probably the truth u cannot live with
The rhythm though so uncannily fine
It makes u skip a beat and well not for the rhyme
You jump in your seat as the target is hit
Wondering what the hell would be its next bit
Though small yet with a perfect wit
It still brings u down from where u currently sit
It finds and makes all exaggeration disappear
Cutting through your heart like a poisoned spear
Its often accompanied by emotional bliss
For the one that’s receiving it, it goes amiss
If you get it and still hope your not the one
It’ll hit u again and you’ll come undone
What brings it on one cannot imagine
What ticks one off in a ghastly fashion
Once the arrow has left its bow
Pray for the poor one who doesn’t know
Its him who’ll need all solace
For sarcasm in itself is one’s Saving Grace!!!!

Feeling Strongly ...
In these times of uncertainty generally in work, life and perspective; at times I find it so difficult to feel strongly about something and stay that way. I feel torn, worn and mostly spent on things that don’t matter much in the grander scheme of life. Weird as the feeling maybe it’s mostly exhilarating to find something that moves me so much as to wanna pen it down. Today I think about all the things that move and excite me but nothing compares to the feeling and adrenaline rush that THOUGHT brings more than the stimulant.
It’s this feeling that I want a daily dose of – anything a song, a poem, words, a touch or a smile or just the sight of my favorite things or the THOUGHT of these that keep me reliving the moments. It makes the very last hair on body stand with a chill down my spine and this cool current on the back of my neck as though someone’s breathing and running their fingers down my neck. It’s the exact feeling I replicate on various occasions and that’s what’s so addicting that I can't get enough of it.
So what do I do!! Well I at anytime do exactly wat I feel… at work I think of things that are so stimulating that a good 30 -45 mins go in just getting high till its gone again and I get back to the drag of work with a clearer head and better perspective to stuck up work.
I don’t need screwed work for me to want the high… sometimes for the pure joy of it I can go into my trance and get clearly happier than before and so relaxed.
The things that give me the high are Songs, Poems, a Voice, The joy of words being typed crazily on a typewriter, hands on clay, eyes playing with each other, stationery and books, whistling trees and wind rustling leaves, silence when we’re under the stars, ur smile that lights ur face up, the rain, snowy roads, cooking, and well this list is long long long….
This is why I thought what better to write about today than the fact that wat I’m doin right now is giving me a certain high though if seen from a third perspective would look as wasting a good 30 mins on personal work in office but this is gonna make me alive…
I don’t like letting a good thought pass by without experiencing it totally so I write when I want to and sing when I feel like and say wat I want to when I mean it and the rest is just a chain reaction… a spontaneous impulsive reaction to all that is thrown back till I am satisfied with the tussle between me and the thought and we’re back to our original state!
I have no clue how much of this you will get but do I care! Frankly I don’t give a rat’s arse cos this typing’s making me so dizzy that I’m already high on words and I have no reason to use the friggin backspace key as this is just flowing into something that will keep me a lil high for quite some time!
I’ve begun it ..i can see… ur infected aren’t u??? U wanna be here with me too don’t u…in this state… well u already are!! U don’t need to close ur eyes u can feel the blood rush and its beginning….
Well enjoy this darlings! Its gonna be a lovely evening!

So what do I do!! Well I at anytime do exactly wat I feel… at work I think of things that are so stimulating that a good 30 -45 mins go in just getting high till its gone again and I get back to the drag of work with a clearer head and better perspective to stuck up work.
I don’t need screwed work for me to want the high… sometimes for the pure joy of it I can go into my trance and get clearly happier than before and so relaxed.
The things that give me the high are Songs, Poems, a Voice, The joy of words being typed crazily on a typewriter, hands on clay, eyes playing with each other, stationery and books, whistling trees and wind rustling leaves, silence when we’re under the stars, ur smile that lights ur face up, the rain, snowy roads, cooking, and well this list is long long long….
This is why I thought what better to write about today than the fact that wat I’m doin right now is giving me a certain high though if seen from a third perspective would look as wasting a good 30 mins on personal work in office but this is gonna make me alive…
I don’t like letting a good thought pass by without experiencing it totally so I write when I want to and sing when I feel like and say wat I want to when I mean it and the rest is just a chain reaction… a spontaneous impulsive reaction to all that is thrown back till I am satisfied with the tussle between me and the thought and we’re back to our original state!
I have no clue how much of this you will get but do I care! Frankly I don’t give a rat’s arse cos this typing’s making me so dizzy that I’m already high on words and I have no reason to use the friggin backspace key as this is just flowing into something that will keep me a lil high for quite some time!
I’ve begun it ..i can see… ur infected aren’t u??? U wanna be here with me too don’t u…in this state… well u already are!! U don’t need to close ur eyes u can feel the blood rush and its beginning….
Well enjoy this darlings! Its gonna be a lovely evening!

Catching Up ...
Rushing through days life’s passing by like the breeze… I stop and stand wondering where I’m going? And then again there’s no time to do even that. Each day running into the next and then the following giving me but a little time fro myself to sit and ponder about what’s actually happening!
Running through work hoping tomorrow will be a different day when deep down inside I know that it’s not. Nothing’s gonna change unless and until I find a way to strike a balance between my mind, my racing heart and my materialistic existence!
I prepare a schedule almost every morning only to find at times failing miserably to even adhere to the smallest of tasks!! Then I think maybe all this discipline and order is not what I really want! Maybe I wanna just get up and do what makes me happy….and then it struck me… I really don’t know what makes me happy anymore! In finding happiness in small things I’ve lost the bigger picture… how did I manage to do that???
This is why I know now all this is just a really weird way of my mind trying to catch up to my ever changing heart and knowing WHAT Makes me HAPPY???
Too many questions… Too many answers… One purpose! Selfishness! Focus! Elimination of things I don’t see fit in my world!
With this purpose I now know what I seek… now I know where I’ll find it…. Now I know who will facilitate! Yeah all that Jazz about its within you…. Well yeah its not…its not just within you coz “You” is a word when looking from another’s eyes. “Me” makes it too selfish for one to see good for themselves. It’s more like when u know u wanna do something real for once and your convinced about what it is u really want… everyone and everything around u will motivate u to get to where u really want or what u really want… Somehow this concept never really sank in before and even when I’d get it partly I’d just somehow get a lil lost in its meaning! Now I have to Catch up!!! Lost time and lost energy aren’t coming back!!! I need to make do with all I have to get what it is I want…. Yes and You … Yeah YOU are gonna help me!!! You know when I say You it is YOU!!!
I’ll be with You and you with me!!! Lets Catch up… Lets just find a new me and a new you….
You take from me what u need and I from you… Yes be selfish… who isn’t? Don’t worry in the end it really doesn’t matter how you got to where u are as long as you know what u got is really worth having! Everything is justified!
So why wait Lets CATCH Up!!! We all have enough work to do!! Lets get what we wanted… I know you really want it!! Come lets Run alongside Life and Live it!
She’s Waiting since very long… The time has come! Are u with me??? :D

I
Seasons change and time flies by
I know ill never be what I am tonight
I take this moment to look and tell
What ticks me off and what rings the bell
Who I am now I cannot say
What ill be tom...well it’s another day
Today I feel I’m all I can be
Another day It's an opposite scene
I riddle and I rhyme...
I play mind games from time to time
I tease and I lift u up
I make u royal and reduce u to pulp
I like what I can or cannot see
I hide from you all I want to be
I make you want more than u can get
I make u lose less than you've bet
I am your all I am nothing too
I am your wish and am your blues
I am me and more often than not
I am someone u hoped I was not
I don’t hold back most of what is mine
I mostly get tarnished around with time
I will change and become a newer shade
I will soon turn to dust and fade
I cannot hold back what will become
I cannot be now what is yet to come
I do mostly what I feel I like
I cannot be controlled or momentum hiked
I go at my pace and then I change course
At times I get bored of the regular force
I like my challenge and like respite
I like this adoration and at times limelight.
I can be in the dark and glow oh so bright
I can stand beside you and still be outta sight
I am all the company and am loneliness too
I need everything with me and then again nothing new
I can let u go and take all u have to give
I can hold u close and leave u in bliss
I forget and let go and remember all I want
I remember and hold on and let memories haunt
I can go on and on and then abruptly leave
I say nothing and can still have u bleed
I be polite and nurture all there is
I tend to be blunt and even so ruthless
I hold u close and let u in
I move so fast to even block the wind
I go from cold to hot in a wink of an eye
I can at times leave u wanting high and dry
This I tell u this moment and now
Who knows what tom I would allow
Maybe I'd be exactly the same
And then again I’d play another game
All I know I am what I am
It’s just a different rearranged anagram
I be everything I know is within me
It’s a different picture of the same scenery!
I know ill never be what I am tonight

Confusion ...
Here I am staring at the screen again
With no words left to write.
Why do I feel so spent yet restless?
And what makes me these words recite?
I’ve been here before haven’t I?
New it seems, yet familiar tones
The voice is so clear in my head
I can feel it right down to my bones.
What is it making me come back?
How does this hold a sway?
I never knew it could be so deep
And somehow I think it may go away.
Pessimism and Reality
These days go hand in hand
I think it’s the Hope u bring
That gives me the longest stand
I think I’d leave and yet wonder
How can I let go of this now?
This gift isn’t for me to give up
It’s never been mine somehow
A light breeze blowing over the land
The smell of spring’s leaves
You bring to me these little joys
As if it were tricks up your sleeves
A smile, a wink and then the gaze
I wonder what they mean?
A word, a phrase and then the song
And now I feel like a queen
Royalty in its own has what it takes
To get u to your knees
But what’s the use of making u bow
When I’m already at ur feet!
With no words left to write.
Why do I feel so spent yet restless?

Gettin it on in Nippon
6 am and the rain is falling…
Its chilly outside with the hope of snow! Oh how I’d wish to see it fall!
Clean roads glazed with sparkly rain water! The drops are oh so tiny.. and soft!
And then this sudden chill down my spine from feeling cold and lonely far away from where I belong. In the balcony staring at the tiny droplets of water I wish for garam chai and bhajji’s but alas! If wishes were horses…. Anyhow I get my lazy arse back inside and keep the tea to boil…I like it creamy and gingeryy … I bring out my last haldiram’s packet of bhujiya and enjoy every last bit of it with the chai. Playing in the rain like a small girl I come back with wet hair and a sneeze! Achhhoooo!!!! Mummy come dry my hair!!! But well I get the towel and do it myself.
As the day progresses and im at work… A new place … new culture… new rules and well new violations!!! So lets see what do I see around…. Short people scurrying to work and being totally cramped in the train??? Quite contrary… They’re not as short as we think… I believe the “mingling” with the Germans and Americans have gotten them to mix up the genes!!! :D Disorganized? Well certainly not they have instructions to walk and stand and even bloody pee so how can anyone fuck up there! They’re so mechanical that they live by the bell!! I mean it … there is an entry bell at 8 am and then at 9 with a lunch bell at 12, where all the lights of the office are switched off so that one can take a power nap after lunch, then a reminder at 12 55 that one should wake up and then a 1 pm bell to get back to work ,with the lights all turned on to give u that feeling of finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!!! This is not it there’s a “Go home bell” at 5 for those who came at 8 and then well another at 6 for the entries at 9… finally a “Fuck go home bell” at 7 forcing employees working late due to incompetence or plain tardiness to scoot home!!! This amazed me for a bit but well there’s more. Since from time to time one doesn’t complete his “Power Nap” within the stipulated hours you’d find a few snores in the bathrooms! To add to all this most people here have a nightly bathing ritual or something coz they just wake up in the morning, get ready and begin their mechanical lives. To compensate for missed activities office hours are conveniently used to brush teeth and well complete morning ablutions. :) These people work real hard and stick to their 9-6 jobs and then party harder!!! Well anyways they’re sweet and helpful especially when I don’t know jackshit Japanese!
So the week goes by in a whiz and the weekends here!!! Yay!! So here I am with a handful of Indians and an even lesser number in terms of cool quotient! So we decide to try our hands at some skiing or rather legs!!! We traveled to this awesome place called Nagano – Hakuba :D and Whoa it was cold and we saw some tourists spots – Castles , mountains and bars hehehhe Got sloshed and well sang our hearts out!! Next morning hit the ski zones and well by the end of it were dead tired and sleepy!!! All this fun on my first weekend and I started getting greedy for more
Following weekends weren’t as dramatic or far fetched but had good fun bowling and oh yess!!! Shopping!!! And ofcourse pubbin :D
Nightlife in Japan is in no way compared to Bangalore…. The night’s done at 11:30 in Bangalore where as here public don’t hit the bars till around 12 or 1…. Partying all night is a common thing and people just flock streets and go pub hopping! Its full of colours and booming with technology… They have some small lil gadget for like everything!!! Trust me u’d love the Toilets… or Super Toilets as they call it. Right from flushin ur arse to warming ur butt ( the best thing in the winters)they actually take ur arse and in a nice way hehehhehe
Kids and Adults all alike are crazy about Video games and any game in general and most people here alongwith their day jobs do social work or teach at community centres or schools. All in all they balance their lives well!!
My stay here was more than what I’d expected it to be and well all thanks to the kudmud gang here that showed me a gud time!! ;) Awaiting my next visit here and the places I’ll be hitting.
Well till next time I’ll sign off sayin

Bangalore Blues and Greens ...
I know its been real real long since the last post but traveling, shifting and finding a roof to shelter me in exchange for money and not smiles or major ass kickin.
So I landed here (read Bangalore) on the 7th of December, 2008 to find myself lugging around bags to my hotel room with the help of an already drained dude ( Rohan Rocks!!!)
Then came the first day of office and the excitement was killing. After a real long time I’d be ticking another item of my list of must do / have. The day was done and everyone was warm and welcoming. Looking forward to every day at work and the usual first month went by in a jiffy just adjusting and assimilating everything around you.
After hrs on the other hand was something that I looked forward too as it was the most fulfilling part of the day. And all this was possible thanks to the most lovable guy I met a few years ago and ever since every ass kickin session’s been nothing but pure fun!! Yes I guess he knows it’s him but I’ll single him out nonetheless - Shanky a.k.a Modi a.k.a Wanky (don’t kill me for the last one its K Baby's i believe). Anyways we’ve had some serious times too ( just so that he doesn’t pass off as an ASS) its just that it makes no sense to write about serious stuff :). He introduced me to the most enthusiastic bunch of people full of energy with a dash of madzzznezzz :D Everyone’s weird in their own cute way :D. Since day one its been endless laughs and doses of herbs and spices ;) apart from the regular overdoses of ITC products :). Top it off with some chicken wings and kathi rolls and oh yeah not to forget the ever famous DBC’s (for those who don’t know Death by Chocolates that adorned our kitchen on new years) Ofcourse most of my creative juices were spent in weaving a nice warm blanket of friends for Madzz ;) (she is gonna kill me soon for all the ass kicking :D)
Come weekends and I’d chill with the gang or once in a while meet the other Dawgs I know :D (Shvets + Rohan, Saurav , Chunnu and Sagar). Once in a bit as Naga calls him “Macho Man” would come around and we’d hookah or chill :D. So I believe basically there’s been a lot of enthusiasm shown in lazying around and oh yeah singing at the top of our voices to ruin almost everyone’s sleep :D
Moved into my own place in Jan and so far still unpacking and still managing to sneak a few days back to shank’s warm lil nest which by the way is probably the only best place I know in Bangy. The “Inmates” (called so as this jail kinda makes someone wanna stay on forever) Gunjan and Vipin are probably the warmest people I’ve come across making each day of my then so undetermined length of stay very memorable and leaving me wanting more :). Anyways I see I can go on forever about each and everyone I met and everything I did here so far but I feel something’s are better left unsaid
So till next time…
