Dinner @ SummerKhand , Bangalore

This was my second last night in Bangalore and we decided to go for a grand dinner , and it was hard venue to decide. And it was getting harder with some of us wanting to party all night , or go on to some dics. But this was just in planning when Fateh decided to go to Samarkhand. Now where is this samarkhand , and we are off to wikimapia.
Directions to Place: From Kumble Circle ( MG Road) , go straight , and from second cut take Right. just after first cut u will see the place. Do refer to Wikimapia .
Then at 730 when we were in our places , we called Fateh to be informed the tables are booked at 8:30 and no where we cud have reached in time , and we rushed to get ready. finally losing the way to Kumble Circle and made a few wrong one ways and finally reached the place , safe and sound. Then we partied there. The starters were superb and nearly filled the stomach , and then we went ahead to have our dinner and desserts ... But it was a night to remember with funs , jokes and most important, My last masti moment in MG Road Bangalore , atleast for that period.
and i am not at all enthusiastic to move back to blore once more , one stint with this death defying city is more than enuf for me .

Last Days in Bangalore

My last week in bangalore was an eventful one , and there was a lot of uncertainities that were always there. There was an element of extreme hapiness on leaving the Death City, and that i will never have to drive on that Blood sucking , horror full Hosur Road , and the death defying stunts. No more wud i be risking my life twice a day on road , and miraculously living for yet another day.
And Then there was a deep pain in me , for this city has given me some of the best moments and friends one may desire. The list ( not on priority ) starts with Sameer ( so many things to share with this guy , he is by far the most special ) , Fateh ( jaan Blore ki ) , Nattu , Sudesna , Hrishi ( i miss u yaara ) , Mitra ( ECC aur sukh dukh ka saathi) , Bala (kya swimming chaloge), Underscore S ( Prashanth) , Kavita ( surprise packet) , Ramya (Meri Blore mein sabse achi dost , and share most of my secrets), Deepa (learned most from her and will be always an inspiration till rest of my life), Sobin (bully bro , who told me exactly when to shut up , still elarning) , anika , melvin , sandeep ( likh diya) , hemant ( yeh masterpiece tha , isko nahi bhool sakta) , Sudesna ( meri gym ki inspiration ) , Krishna ( in my last days in infy and became very gud friend ) , Manish agarwal( Cool type banda) .. the list might go on unending , and i might append it soon ... If i missed yr name , mayb u r still in ma heart ... be there and be safe.
Then for some time i cherished all the Infosys Bangalore , so beautiful , so huge , so charming ... believe me once in blore DC u will fall in love with the place , and the day i said audieu , it hurt right there to leave the place.
another thing that was most happening was the stuff that was at my place, and left with 5 days to sell off everything and dispose all of it , and then help Sameer to shift ... per woh bhi maza tha ... Last night was stayed at Fateh's place and a lovely spicy chinese dinner near their place.
and then was at Delhi the next day after disposing my bike to Delhi ... and now i want it back ...
more topic for last week parties in Blore coming up soon ... so keep reading ....
and i wont write about last morning ultimatum ....

Hogenakkal Falls

It has been nearly a month when the group of 5 people travelled 150+ Kms to the most dangerous waterfalls in Asia . and believe me , they are. One single mistake can cost a life , but whats life without risk will also fail you. Morning was cool with people pouring in house , and sharing the breakfast. Then it was our turn to rock. We passed through Tamil Nadu Karnataka border to reach one of the finest outing I had in south. Possibly the place was not that bad , but the road surely was full of rides. and we had to keep the honking a habit as we reached the place. and the time u enter the place , u are flocked with a hundred thousand people offering you something you dont even understand. and then they will start fighting with each other in Tamil , and we just start to think , was the decision to come here "Right". Then the Sumo was parked and we went in for the ride. With fishes all around , and smell of deep frying make your stomach go hungry. But what followed was a ride in sun , unlike the makedattu falls these were cool. Lots of water all around us , sometimes as deep as 90 feet. And we had a real scare when the canopy grudged against a rock in the lake and it seems must have had some real injury to the same. But the boatman assured us that nothing is wrong and all is going on in a perfect manner . The fun of Hogannakal fallls is there in other posts in the same blog, with some cool videos and pics. Go and explore the world full of danger and risk

kailash Kher In infosys

Kailash kher, Allah ke Bande famed Singer with teri diwani songs to his name , Kailaasa was in infosys with his band. Before i start with his performance , let me tell something about this sufi hindi mix mast singer. The movies in which he has sung songs are :
1971 (2007), Aap Ki Khatir (2006), Alag (2006), Andaaz (2003), Anjaan (2006), Baabul (2006), Baaz - A Bird In Danger (2003), Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii (2007), Chocolate (2005), Classic - Dance Of Love (2005), Corporate (2006), Deewaar (2004), Delhi Heights (2007), Dev (2004), Dil Se Poochh Kidhar Jana Hai (2006), Dosti (2005), Ek Ajnabi (2005), Fanaa (2006), Hanuman (2005), Jaana - Let's Fall In Love (2006), Kaal (2005),
Khakee (2004), Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), Kisna (2005), Krishna (2006), Kyon Ki (2005),
Mangal Pandey - The Rising (2005), Manorama Six Feet Under (2007), Naksha (2006), Nishabd (2007), Revati (2005), Sacred Evil - A True Story (2006), Salaam-E-Ishq (2006), Sarkar (2005), Silsiilay (2005), Swades (2004), Tango Charlie (2005),
Traffic Signal (2007), Vaada (2004), Waisa Bhi Hota Hai Part II (2003), Waqt - The Race Against Time (2005), With Luv Tumhaara (2006), Zinda (2006).
May Be i have missed some movies , these were i remember. Then there are his private albums which are better than the best.
His albums are Aawargi,Kailasa,Kailasa Jhoomo Re, Sufi Simplified-, Ya Rabba .
So this was Kailash Kher For you.
Now he came to infosys Audi right on time, just like a S/W engg is expected to be for an event in Infosys named as Finnacle Fever . Even after his band came and settled for placed , it took some time for the master to come out.
I have attended many concerts like this of Palash , Sukhwinder , Aryns, Sonu Nigam , KK to name a few, and i was expecting this to be better than that of sukhwinder , which was no doubt the best of them all. and he started with energy of universe in voice of youth. And all tuned in to Bham bhabham bham Bham bhabham bham bam lehri .... and then scooping it up with teri diwani ... but then he lost the tune. The music was better than the best , and Kailaasa was promoting his next album .. On one hand he talks about his concerts in UK , US and worldwide , and the hypocrate on the other hand requests you not to go abroad.
Heres how he finishes the show ...
I have a request from all infosys people , India is best (cheers from croud) ....
Kailasa : please let me finish ( in angry tone)
Crowd : Cheer once more
Kailasa : Please dont go to foreign .. let the foreigners come here . i have sincere request , please dont go to United States.
----
why is it we always will advise others to stay in India , when we ourselves with tongues out will go to US for concerts and jobs.
The show was ended with Title Track of Mangal Pandey , i would have preferred a more dance track , as we all were there for masti. If we had gone ONLY to hear himm ,and not enjoy the same , Infosys has best music systems for us to enjoy.
For the show must be rated by someone as 3/5 , but for me who had such high expectations was left with nothing to console.
i will rate it below that.

JigSaw My Life

Have You Ever Played Jig Saw Puzzle , if no probably this junk collection of few words is not for you. This is how we go about playing a puzzle, take the pieces and try to keep them back in places. But how do we go about joining broken pieces of an abstract life. When You yourself become so dis-illusioned that you weave out a face from an abstract painting. When you Cry but dont know is it because of bright future or contrasting past, or the way present times are crushing you. Here is me , at threshold of my last days in Bangalore, still thinking what is it This City has given me more than any other. I made a few new friends, some of them will bond with me till i am alive, some have lost the track in current city. first time i refused an ongoing relationship , and nth time a a girl saying no to thing i never said. Well Bangalore for me is a puzzle , in which i had a very cherished birthday , topped with the people present. I jusy hope one thing , i wud have left Bangalore before 31st August. That day has left me with nothing. What happened for next 3 weeks was nothing but lost and lost friends. As i was lost in middle of nothing, nursing an injury to myself. With no one around , and THE ONLY FRIEND , i considered to become one of my closest friends ever was gone. It was like " we came so close that we became so far" .
Suddenly this happy go merry city became a devil , and only 1 , single person was able to find me absent minded in most laughs. Friends become busy with work , and dont appreciate the help. I just dont want anyone to be in a sitaution, when u help a person with all you can , and next moment the person is gone.
God Forbid , i confess to have a big bigger and biggest crush of my life in Bangalore , and yes i dreamt. Is it unfair , No way. All can dream , unfair is when u want it to come true at any cost.
i wanted to pen this for so long , but didnt find the strength. Please remember i am all by strengths of my friends , and please even if find me a bit irritating at time , just dont hate me.

One of my friends started hating me , and to that friend , i am SORRY. Its a failure on my part to be one , and i will repent. Obviously I had a mistake , i shall be punished. But when alone , and when u want to talk , i am still there with my ears open as wide , and ready to take the scolding when u did not get the justified piece of cake in suceess.
But one thing i learned , never make some one your everything , because when they are gone you are left with nothing.

But this is not the type of post i am supposed to write, for all my friends, it was just a piece of fiction, and for those who know me , its still a fiction piece.

The pain is fun , only thing is it sometimes becomes sticky and messy , with eyes gallowing red , and pain turning hot cooled by the rain in eyes.


Now i am travelling to Pune finally on 29th Sept , but only 1 thing i wanna ask God ... Why always Me ... why always 31st ... why is it u made me this way , y is it u made my heart like a stone , y is it that it does not pain despite many heart breaks. .. still y this stone heart never told how deeply i like her .. y is it never said to most beautiful girl , i like u ... y is it it is going far far from her ... y is it the reason for me to be happy in bangalore is lost. .. y is it a thousand friends can make me smile from heart , and why is it even after deleting her number from my mobile i remember her , y is it after deleting contact from outlook , i still remember her id , y is it I still look in her scrap book with different profiles ... y is it i am hated by none by her .. y is it I still wait for her to come along ... y is it u r still reading this junk piece and not laughing yr stomachs out ...
i have been known to be like that , and nothing on me shud be serious , so why should this article be an exception.
But one thing , my jig saw will be complete the day the most beautiful girl i ever saw comes back in my life , may be not as a lover , may be as a gf , and as a true friend , i always saw her as.

dangerous falls

The Great Falls ....

These hogennakal falls have been second good falls i have seen in south India. Suchipara falls in Wayand had the distinct distinction of being the best falls in The place. But Kempty Falls are the best. Well , this was second time i was viewing a waterfall from top of the waterfall, and not from the bottom where is real beauty is encountered. In the pic below , Sameer ( in red ) is sitting on edge of rock balancing miraculously on the wet rock. The water we see just by our side is very very deep , and this is no doubt the most dangerous waterfall in India or Asia .


And below are all happy faces , after the Chunchi falls episode when there was not a blade of rain. but here there was water , and deep deep water . and all were so happy to be a part of the same. And we had to travel a lotta distance on foot also.

Hogenakkal Falls

Water Water EveryWhere , and The Boards did Shrink ,
Water Water Everywhere ,and Not a Drop to Drink.
This is how i can best explain the Falls , far from shore and moving to the other part in the most primitive boats those existed. The Round circular wooden boat coated with charcoal on the other side, was means of transport for two sides of falls we saw. The First Pic is of water which the person rowing the boat claimed to be 30-50 feet , which we doubt was deeper.

Below is the first phase of trip , when we just sat down and had a cool time. We were adjusted to most primitive boat in some calculations to balance the boat and we were off in the boat. Dwindling and shifting , and wach time Fateh would shift , wud leave the navigator tense , and finally Fateh put his head back in comforting posture.


This is commercialisation , shops on the boat. from Fanta to Chips to biscuits u just name it , and they have it. And in middle of river , thinking of sea pirates , and there is no way u can escape, for land in sight was too far. And then this person came and tried to do his business, but sorry we had snacks with us ...

Can you See the Shop Boat , but can u C anyone navigating it ... seems Jack Sparrow from POC is driving it ...

And finally another shopper's Stop , though i dont prefer to use that name , cauz it has deep memories in bangalore , not mine .. no no ..

hogenakkal falls

This time We Decided to go to the falls taking our time. So here were five of us going to party , and believe me , its a really awsome place to be. It all started with pledge previous night to get up early for trip , but its Sunday guys , and who cares... and it was already 730 when somebody woke up. chalo guys lets get ready for hogenakkal ... and there was a call from Fateh , we will be there in 10-15 minutes. At 830 ok , lets do it . By the time breakfast was ready, phone rang. Fateh forgot the path to the place. Chalo , then had to go and take him. He was angriest of lot , seeing me still in casuals... hehehee ... trick to send cab first to his place worked.
The Masti Starts -
Now in less than 20 min we are all ready , packed bags to the most dangerous waterfalls in asia, claiming more lives than any other fall in india. The Sumo started with Buzzzzz...... and off we were to a thrilling end to a roller coaster week , which saw some people moving out of life from behind the doors , some friends who never were .... and some people who will always be there.
Songs Played loudly , and Sumo rolled the roads like the bus in the song "We are going to Ibiza by venga boys" ... loud cheers , close calls , and bangalore traffic.
Kasam se The Driver was constantly honking , and even though we asked him a lot of times not to honk . I will this time start with photographs and tell some masti incidents ...

namo shantakaram,namo devkaram ,
yeh dharti yeh amber yeh dariya samander yeh dilkash nazare ,
sabhi hai tumhare ... namo namo ... namo namo ...

yeh chalti hawayein , mehekti dishayein,
yeh saanson ki hulchal , kehti hai pal pal ,
yeh chalti hawayein , mehekti dishayein,
yeh saanson ki hulchal , kehti hai pal pal ,
tu nityam , anupam sada satyadivyam , mano premrupam namo vishwaroopam,
namo namo ...

tu hi sabse afsal , tu sabse aala ,
tere hi dum se jahaan mein ujaala
zameen o falak , chand suraj sitare , her ek zare mein jalwe tumhare ...
namo namo namo ...

mahakaal kaale , digambar nirale ,
dig dig bhramta , anandi ananata ,
mahakaal kaale , digambar nirale ,
dig dig bhramta , anandi ananata ,
namo shrasti roopam , namo vhrasti roopam, namo jal swaroopam, namo vraksh roopam ,
namo namo ...


And believe me it took me 2 times over to hear and type it :)

Bike Lift

Today was something different in air. A freshness , something seemed in air ... and there was me .. on roads of Bangalore. The Climate as always cool , and music banging loudly in my ears , and Boomanhalli junction fully freee .. not a single jam ... and there i saw on junction , an infoscion standing alone. And i dont know what happened , offered her a lift. Obviously she didnt look into my face, and my I-Card was more than sufficient for her to sit on bike. And after that incident that happened last Friday, today i drove with utmost care, though zig-zag is now a way of life. The bike reached 100 and the girl pressed my shoulders, as i slowed down. Then we ended up in Infosys, she said thanks , and i welcome. She never saw my face , and i have a bleak memory of the same. But in many ways , it was lady luck in the morning , which will guide the rest of the day :)
