Its second time I had my finger inked. (Exercised my voting rights). Last time was for Lok Sabha elections, this time for assembly elections. Last time my vote resulted in victory for the candidate, now lets see what difference my vote makes. I was also in the pessimists camp, thinking all politicians are corrupt, what difference does it make if I vote. My opinion has not changed, I don't expect anyone to do any work for my constituency in spite of winning.
Still I vote because that is my duty, to vote for a candidate I think who "could" help to improve our locality. So I tell all people who don't vote, please vote next time.
Our politicians shirk from their responsibilities, but why should we behave like them and not vote. Lets be better than them, lets do our duty, lets have a say.
I know this post came a bit late, and should have come before the election day. But being busy, and not expecting my words to make any difference to anyone, made me post this a bit late.

Red Wave
Walking down a path of change
shedding blood for this change
thinking its the right way
onward marches the red wave
creating terror in innocent lives
killing people always they strive
not affected is administration
coz they don't value cops life
onward marches the red wave
lives lost no one cares
they thinks its for a cause
cause value is long lost
red wave is called killing machine
no knows why they really kill
red wave is not bothered anyway
they just want revenge in some way
(a few lines on naxal issue as portrayed my media)

penned down
Here are contrasting thoughts going on in minds of individuals.
First one, wants to be with someone but cant
while the second one, is with someone but out of compulsion.
and the third one, is pleading his love to believe him
--First One's thoughts--
i need a moment of love..
i don't know what else...
but i need a moment of love..
nothing else would do....
a moment with her..
is better than nothing...
and not being near her...
is making me go mad...
---------------------------
--Second One's thoughts---
every time I am with her
feels like walking in darkness
there is no moment when I feel
that I am here with someone
like a shadow with her
still never really with her
furthur away are your hearts
even if we are holding hands
---------------------------
--Third One's thoughts---
believe me I am not lying today
i didn't lie any other day
i will keep my word
wont go break promises
doubts may cloud your mind
even caution for some time
but try to put worries away
and believe in what I say
---------------------------
.. (p.s. all thoughts are fictional visualizations are not representative of authors state of mind. )

thrilling rides
Hello everyone!
after a long time!!
Highlight of the weekend was visit to local fun-fair, where biggest attraction was the Ferris wheel. These fairs are mostly visited by local youths, middle or lower-middle class families and are not even a shadow as compared to big theme parks like Essel World. Still it was a welcome change for me, that shook me out of my dreary routine.
I sat in 4 rides, as they were the only challenging among other kiddie stuff. First was ferris wheel, which was a good warm-up, and set pace for thrill to follow. Second ride was a not ferris wheel but a ride which whirled in elliptical fashion, this was not much scary and even the height was not that "high", but it was placed close to trees, which initially made me paranoid about my legs hitting a tree branch.
Now after these two rides I had warmed up very well, and went towards a thing called "break dancer", I had not seen it in action as I was busy with other rides, so when I sat in it and was locked in, did I realize that it was going to be one funky ride. The cart was literally throwing me in all possible directions as other carts crisscrossed each other in colliding fashion and nearly missing each other.
As the ride came to a stop, I stumbled out of it, and stumbled into another ride which ended up being crazier than the third one. It was a small ferris wheel kind of structure, but difference was that the carts were different. There were like cages and one sat in a push-back seat fashion, clearly the cages were suspended(not fixed but rocking) from the arms of ferris wheel. Now as it started moving, the cages rocked forth and back, moving us in the same fashion. Now this may not be that exciting, but as speed
picked up, the pull-push began increasing in magnitude and at its top speed, we literally thrown out of our seats and pulled in our seats.
Description maybe sketchy, and ride is not even marginally scary as compared to other rides in bigger amusement parks, but it was worth the 20 bucks I spent (first ride cost me 25, second 15, then 25, last one 20).
In the end, the experience was thrilling and exhaustive because I sat in rides back to back, without any rests. And this has made me excited for a trip to Essel World, whenever it comes.

jason statham and action ...and other actions...and reactions
Another weekend goes by, hurray??
Confused thoughts abound in my head right now, and they are not allowing me to think correctly, no thought in particular, just like the title of this post, nothing makes sense .......
Since we are on topic of non-thinking things. I will mention Jason Statham movies. Last two days I have been feasting on his movies; Crank 1 and 2, Transporter 1 and 3, Death Race, Chaos and Rouge Assassin/D War. His movies are always action packed, fast paced and no-nonsense movies. He is not a Bruce Willis clone, but he goes through most scary situations with ease and wit. He is the only person, who can be the next "Bruce Willis". Not that I am comparing both, but he is really good. I still think he would have been a better choice to play the character "Hitman" in the movie of the same name. Anyway I wonder how would it be, if Jason Statham is cast as "James Bond". Please don't be offended, just a thought. I would not mind it. His action movies are how action movies should be, they should have nonstop action.
That's the movie stuff, lets move on to, music. Nothing much, I am alternating between, "U2 - No Line On The Horizon" and "The Stills". Quite a contrast!
Its august and rains here are scarce, and possibly in many states of India, drought has been declared. And most affected among food items re pulses, my beloved pulses. God save us all!!!

Birthday .. Orissa Trip and more
My birthday on 2nd august was on the same day, when we had to attend a colleagues wedding. And since the wedding ceremony was in Bhubaneshwar (Orissa), my birthday was celebrated in style along with some of my best friends.
In all, 30, 31 july and 1,2,3 august were spent in fun company, as we enjoyed,
36 hour train journey covering 3 states.
visit to Jagannath Puri temple and Konark Sun temple.
visit to chilika lake and its irrawady dolphins.
Playing in the strong waves of east coast of India, or simple Puri Beach, also called Puri sea face.
Eating chinese food from a famous chinese eatery of Puri.
staying in 3-star hotels.
visiting the creatures housed at Nandankanan Zoo.
and a 2 hour airplane flight (my first one!) from bhubaneshwar to mumbai.
All along enjoying the beauty of the surroundings and the hospitality towards us.
The food was good too, not yoghurt splattered stuff from north india.
And it felt blessed to have a good breakfast of puri-bhaji everyday. Loved it.
Not forgetting the delicious sweets of bhubaneshwar. Already I am in love with Orissa, so much that I would not mind falling in love with a Oriya girl.
Ok, enough of fantasies.
Thats all for now, as I come back to routine of life. Still I will make sure to never make the routine boring. Spice it up, whenever I can.

Adventures and many more things!
Lots of things missing, so lets make it fast.
11-12 July 2009 were spent in enjoying the scenic environs of matheran.
Highlight of the whole trip was "Valley Crossing". As you can see below, it was adrenaline rushing fun activity.
As opposed to last time, we walked down from matheran to neral station, which is a 2-3 hours hike. It really was a good way to conclude the trip. The view is lush green, and one can see the meandering narrow gauge rail track playing hide and seek.
On the hill, like last time we were not able to see half the points, because of paucity of time. We just watched the usual points like, Echo Point, Lord Point, Charlotte Lake, and Washed-Out-Trail Point. I still haven't seen One-Tree Hill, Panaroma Point, among others. So better luck next time.
After that, the week has been pretty mundane, save for my PC monitor malfunctioning, and requiring 600 rupees to fix it. So...
More things soon, and more regularly.

Finally
Finally I can blog from home, as I have summoned my PC from the dead.
"Summon Complete" (a dialogue from the game Warcraft 3)
Somehow, the SMPS of my PC malfunctioned, tripping the phase switches, but replacing it with a new one(Rs. 450/-), brought it to life.
With the addition of a 250MB ddr2 RAM card, a gift from mahendra bhatt (thanks a lot), my good 'ol PC runs faster now.
I watched Kambakt Ishq.
Nothing to write about it, as it lackluster.
Akshay Kumar is great as ever, and Slyvester Stallone and "hottie" Dennis Richards are definite addons!!
Still the movie is very average, some funny moments aside.
Akshay Kumar is very talented, so I expect something better than this from him.
He is my second favourite bollywood star after Shah Rukh Khan.
Thats all for now, Adios!

I still remember.
I still remember.
Even though it was just last saturday that I went to Worli Seaface with Tasha (one of my greatest friends!), the experience makes me want to go there again.
So I still remember the rains lashing our faces, jumping in puddles, being all "WET", coaxing the waves to come higher up the seaface, and talking. Beautiful.
Of course, the fact the Bandra-Worli sealink not being lighted up meant, we missed a spectacular view, but that did not deter motorists from driving on the massive sealink.
And this visits marks my first visit to Worli Seaface, a shame considering I live so close to the city.
The truth is, I have seen more places outside Mumbai, than inside it.
I guess nobody guided me earlier, but now slowly I am exploring it, with some help of course.
