LIFE.....

Life has just been going from one door to another, in search of something that is totally unknown,you have something in front of you that you know is good but still the persuit of the better just never stops.

In the pathway between one door to another lies many windows, these are the windows of opportunities.....U take the right window at the right time and make the most of it, life will just be better that ever, or else life will screw you back making it as miserable as it can be.
I have been walkin this life passing from one door to another with very little aim as to what i want, very little ambition and very little hope of finding the best.

It has just been taking things the way they come, yesterday is gone, tomorrow is still far away, just live the life for today.....sounds very simple , doesn`t it.But, It is just not the way it seems, because in the time between yesterday and tomorrow, the TODAY holds the key to a lot of things.Today holds the key for tomorrow.Use the right keys at the right times and path leading to tomorrow will be as pleasant as possible, but holding on to yesterday will make today just not how u thought of it yesterday.I am today because of what i did yesterday and i will be tomorrow because of what i will do today....this cycle will continue till the last breath that i take, till the day life will say i can`t take any more tomorrows, until then, this journey continues.....

Another year....and so it goes on

yoooohooo...a new year is finally upon us...but for people like me, tis jus noder day with jus a chnage in number, not anything extravagant or special about it tho....jus the usual stuffs of wishing anybody and everybody that i bump inot wishing a very happy new year......i try to make resolutions and hardly try to keep up those resolutions that i make....i guess with another year comea another set of resolutions, another set of broken, compromised and un fulfilled set of resolutions....the only differnce is that this time around, am actually writing it down somewhr...

For some strange reason i have decided to update this blog once my resolutions are met.......one by one
Objective number 3 achieved.....din fulfill the cause,but still achieved none the less.....n IT IS NOT NONSENSE...it never was

The day that wasn`t.......

In more ways or so, it started out to be like just another weekend for me where i wud get up late at around 10, take a bath at around 1 n same old stuffs.But it was special day for some other reasons also.But never did i ever imagine that the turn of events would be something like what happened.

I was at 1st block for a brief period of time where i was doing what i usually do....waiting which usually leads to nothing.I had my usual plate of chats n left for home at around 5pm. riding along the way took me to the signal at 1st block where i managed my way all to the front row.I switched off my ignition n was just waiting for the signal to turn green.IN the meantime vehicles were zooming past in front of me as usual.The signal to my left turned red n allowed another batch of vehicles in front of me to go forward when their signal turned green.Just as the vehicles were beginning to move an auto tried to jump the signal whiz had just turned red at a speed of around at least 50k n came crashing on a bike which was right in front of me.All of this happened just around 5 feet way from me.The impact was such that the auto flipped on its side after hitting the vehicle.The rider of the bike fell just in front of and as he fell so did his cell phone n few other stuffs.I just helped him out of there when another person handed him over his cell phone saying that some guy was trying to steal his phone also.I thought for a while .....what a shame, ppl don show the concern even in d time of accident. after around 10 minutes of commotion things slowly turned back to normal.
BUT, what was kind of intriguing was that i was in such a situation before also....it was like deja-vu all over again , the only difference was that the last time i was victim in an accident and only this time i was a spectator n also the impact this was much much higher than what happened to me before.It was around 8 years back that a similar incident had happened to me which involved me and my sister as the unfortunate victims of an accident.Everything that happened was similar other than the speed of of the vehicles.
After the incident today i turned back one last time for the work that i has actually come there to do and this time it was a success....... :-)

Then i had gone to majestic hopefully to see off a friend.But what i found there was an old friend that i had met almost a year ago.Some place to catch up with friends that is.......
This turned out to be unsuccessful tho n i turned back home in disappointment.While returning on the way near Ram mandir, a few cops got along the way asking for my DL n documents, i had my DL but unfortunately did not have my documents of the vehicle.They were not the usual traffic policemen but civil policemen who were on duty following threats of a terror Attack in the city.He refused to let me go as i did not have the relevant documents which made me make calls to friends around so that they could at least get the documents for me and after around close to 20 mins of wait he finally let me go without fining me also :) .......I considered myself to be very lucky and just left for home.....
phew some day it turned out to be today.....

The truth tells a completely different story, Mr Gilchrist

This truly is a wonderful piece of article posted in the 27 october issue in the Times Of India`s sports column.
For the people who might have missed it...Just take your time and go through it.



Adam Gilchrist was, from all accounts, an honourable man and cricketer. Are we entitled to change that opinion based on his latest reported comments about the Indians generally and Sachin Tendulkar in particular, with reference to the Sydney Test ‘monkey-remarks’ hearings?
Yes, we are. For two reasons. One, his unfair criticism of Tendulkar’s testimony before the ICC commissioner (which is directly contrary to the findings in the judgment). And two, his total silence on the proven unsporting conduct and untruthfulness of his own colleagues, Andrew Symonds and Michael Clarke (ignoring the judicial findings).
A bare reading of the judicial verdict of justice John Hansen in the matter shows that the New Zealand judge expressly castigated Symonds for unsporting conduct and all but called Clarke an untruthful witness.

The judgment unequivocally holds that it was Symonds who initiated the exchange by the use of offensive words to Harbhajan. And that he did so in protest against a friendly gesture by Harbhajan acknowledging ‘well bowled’ to a brilliant Lee yorker which the Indian spinner just about managed to stave off his stumps. The judgment notes: “Mr Symonds appears to be saying that he finds it unacceptable that an opponent makes a gesture that recognises the skill of one of his own team mates.
In the transcript he stated:

“Mr Manohar: You had any objection to that patting on the back?
Mr Symonds: Did I have an objection to it my objection was that a Test match is no place to be friendly with an opposition player, is my objection.’’
If that is his view I hope it is not one shared by all international cricketers. It would be a sad day for cricket if it is.’’

So, Symonds was judicially found to have an unsporting mentality. Yet, there is not a word of reproach from Gilchrist for this. Contrarily, Gilchrist appears to accuse Tendulkar of unsporting conduct. That is not the act of an honourable man. Moreover, he accuses Tendulkar of changing his testimony, suggesting he said one thing to Procter and another to the Appeals Commissioner. This is far from the truth.

In the first place, Gilchrist himself did not give evidence before the Appeals Commissioner. He did not attend the hearing, being unwell. The judgment notes: “It was accepted by all counsel that Mr Gilchrist’s evidence was to the effect that he did not hear anything and there was no prejudice to Mr Singh by his absence.’’ The appeal judgment in fact found Tendulkar to be an ‘impressive witness’. The judge notes: “Mr Hayden and Mr Tendulkar in particular were impressive witnesses.’’

The judge also observes: “Mr Symonds accepted that Mr Tendulkar of all the participants was closest to Mr Singh. A viewing of the video shows that people were moving around but certainly Mr Tendulkar appears to have been closest to Mr Singh in the course of the heated exchange we are concerned with. Contrary to reports that Mr Tendulkar heard nothing he told me he heard a heated exchange and wished to calm Mr Singh down. His evidence was that there was swearing between the two. It was initiated by Mr Symonds. That he did not hear the word “monkey’’ or “big monkey’’ but he did say he heard Mr Singh use a term in his native tongue “teri maa ki’’ which appears to be pronounced with a “n’’. He said this is a term that sounds like “monkey’’ and could be misinterpreted for it.’’

Thus, a judicial forum, duly constituted, has found Tendulkar to be a truthful witness. There was no change of testimony on his part.
On the contrary, the judge finds that it was an Australian cricketer, Michael Clarke who flip-flopped in his evidence, testifying to one set of facts before match referee Procter at the initial hearing and then changing his story at the appeal stage. In the words of the judgment: “at about this time Mr Michael Clarke was slowly crossing the pitch from cover to cover. His evidence was that he heard Mr Singh call Mr Symonds a big monkey. He was cross examined by Mr Manohar, counsel for the appellant, as to what he stated in the hearing before Mr Procter. There it was recorded that he stated he heard “something like big monkey’’. However, his evidence to me was not that this was the use of something similar to “big monkey’’. Rather he maintained that what he told Mr Procter was that he heard things being said that he did not hear or comprehend which he referred to as “something something something’’ but then he heard the words “big monkey.’’

In fairness, Gilchrist, as an honourable man, should have correctly identified the person who changed his sworn testimony. It was not Tendulkar but his Australian mate Clarke.
It gets worse for Clarke. The accepted fact was that Symonds said many things to Harbhajan. Yet, Clarke swore on oath that Symonds said nothing. Clarke’s testimony was correctly disbelieved by the judge, exercising typical judicial restraint and preferring the understatement for emphasis, in these words: “In this case there is a direct conflict as to whether or not the words were said. Mr Symonds accepted that in at least part of the heated exchange Mr Singh used his native tongue. Both Mr Singh and Mr Tendulkar gave evidence that he used words in his own language that were similar to monkey. On the other hand the three Australian players consider they heard the words “big monkey’’.
“Mr Procter also noted in his decision that he did not consider the umpires or Mr Tendulkar were in a position to hear the words. I have of course had the advantage of seeing extensive video footage which in fact establishes that Mr Tendulkar was within earshot and could have heard the words. Indeed it is now clear Mr Tendulkar did hear the exchange but not the words alleged.

I accept that Messrs Hayden, Clarke and Symonds are satisfied themselves that they thought they heard the words “big monkey’’.... But the evidence as to what was said by Mr Singh is completely at odds. Mr Tendulkar said there were offensive words in Mr Singh’s native tongue and he also heard abusive language in English between the two. Mr Hayden says he heard the words “big monkey’’ but could not recall for the court any other words that were said by either party. .... As well it is not without significance that the Australian players maintain other than Mr Symonds that they did not hear any other words spoken only the ones that are said to be of significance to this hearing. This is a little surprising in the context where there was a reasonably prolonged heated exchange. Indeed Mr Clarke went so far as to say that he did not hear Mr Symonds say anything. Given Mr Symonds’ own acceptance that he initiated the exchange and was abusive, that is surprising....’’ It is clear, then, that Clarke was not speaking the truth. Yet Gilchrist ignores the judicial findings and condemns Tendulkar — hardly the act of an honourable man!

Wht is wrong with me....

5 minutes ago , i just got a bit upset over a very good friend of mine n it just does not feel right.I have no idea as to why this happens with me. I was always like this from before, but as of now, there is an unusual guilt inside of me whenever i get angry over good friends.
There has hardly been any person among my friends on whom iv never got angry on, but all my friends have been people who`v understood me over the years n know me.But I know for a reason that this will not always be the case, coz i will have new friends n with new friends come new ppl to get angry over.I have had anger issues from before n i know that i need to manage them properly. coz if i don`t now then i know that there will one day that i will regret ever getting angry on someone.
I hope that that day day never comes n even if that day ever does come, then please GOD, just make the opposite person understand that this anger of mine is very short lived n is not what i actually mean.

I apologize to all my good frens out there who unfortunately had become victims of my anger......

Jus to cool down....

I DON`T KNOW....somethings just begin to get screwed up at some point when i really don`t want them to happen.Really donno if am the reason or the solution for the screw ups thats been happenin for a while.

Iv heard this somewhere before....'WHEN AM GOOD.....AM THE BEST , BUT WHEN AM BAD..AM THE WORST"or something like that it went
I am just relating this to myself n changing it a bit....
"when i begin to get sweet with people around, there is nothing more better than me,
But when i begin to get rude, i can be as rude as rude can be"

The GANESHA UTSAV by the road

Today, actually a few hours back....It was like any other year of the usual ganesha idol getting carried around in a procession all over the streets near by.I shuold say hat it was gettin all glitzy wid all pomp n show all over.Iv alwasy loved the heavy sounds of fast beating drums to which i always wanted to go n shake a leg[AM a very very very bad dancer], but alwsy have held back coz my mom is aroun....n also think dat il make a fool out of myself in there.The show is very grand to be frank and it gets even better with every passing year.Very entertaining, very much colourfull n very much lively.
BUT BUT BUT BUT.......tis not a one of show, the ganesh chathurthi is long over, n here there are still people celebrating the festival, not because they are all very huge worshippers of the lord but what i think is just becoz of the fact that they don`t want to be held behind with almost evry other group in a locality celebrating it.Still no harm i think , everybody loves to show off, but i still feel its a very huge investment that is being made into it n it could be put to better use.Today with the country almost being held to ransom by a bunch of cowardly bastards who decide to bomb evry place, all such occassions do bring people together, but if the same money was put into maybe the help of the flood victims in bihar, or to an NGO working towards a noble cause it would really be something that will truly be appreciated.If all such gropus come together and maybe celebrate this together , then there will probably a bigger show n also there will also lotsa money saved...afer all like the saying goes " MANY HANDS MAKE THE WORK LIGHTER"...rite....N this money can most definitely be put to better use
