Anti Racism

One of the poems that i read in the mail.
This poem was nominated by UN as the best poem of 2006, Written by an African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you gray

And you calling me colored??

America's most beloved investor is now the world's richest man. Soared past friend and bridge partner Bill Gates as shares of Berkshire Hathaway climbed 25% since the middle of last July. Son of Nebraska politician delivered newspapers as a boy. Filed first tax return at age 13, claiming $35 deduction for bicycle. Studied under value investing guru Benjamin Graham at Columbia. Took over textile firm Berkshire Hathaway 1965.

Also has noncontrolling stakes in Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo. Insurance operations flourished in 2007. "That party is over. It's a certainty that insurance-industry profit margins, including ours, will fall significantly in 2008." The Oracle of Omaha issued a challenge to members of The Forbes 400 in October; said he would donate $1 million to charity if the collective group of richest Americans would admit they pay less taxes, as a percentage of income, than their secretaries. Had long promised to give away his fortune posthumously. Irrevocably earmarked the majority of his Berkshire shares to charity in 2006, mostly to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Gift was valued at $31 billion on day of announcement; donation will far exceed that sum so long as Berkshire shares continue to rise.


#2 Carlos Slim Helu & family

Second-richest man in the world this year; even richer than Microsoft's Bill Gates, at least for now, thanks to strong Mexican equities market and the performance of his wireless telephone company, America Movil. The son of a Lebanese immigrant, Slim made his first fortune in 1990 when he bought fixed line operator Telefonos de Mexico (Telmex) in a privatization. In December, America Movil struck a deal with Yahoo to provide mobile Web services to 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. A widower and father of six, Slim is a baseball fan and art collector. He keeps his art collection in Mexico City's Museo Soumaya, which he named after his late wife.

Country Of Citizenship: United States

Residence: Medina, Washington , United States, North America

Industry: Software

Marital Status: married, 3 children

Education: Harvard Drop Out

Harvard dropout and Microsoft visionary no longer the world's richest man. Blame Yahoo: Microsoft shares have fallen 15% since the company boldly attempted to merge with the search engine giant to better fight Google for Internet dominance. Gates is preparing to give up day-to-day involvement in the company he cofounded 33 years ago to spend more time focused on his philanthropic endeavors. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has $38.7 billion in assets, donates to causes aimed at bringing financial tools to the poor, speeding up the development of vaccines (for AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis), bettering America's lagging high schools. Sells 20 million Microsoft shares every quarter, proceeds going to private investment vehicle Cascade; more than half of net worth now outside of Microsoft. Company spent $6 billion to land Web ad firm Aquantive last May. Would-be rival to Apple's iPod, the Zune, not yet a hit. Believes Microsoft's far-flung bets, including 10-year affair with Internet-based television, may soon pay off; says next 10 years will be the "most interesting" in software history

A marathon runner, his biggest asset is his 65% stake in telecom venture Reliance Communications. He recently raised $3 billion from the highly anticipated initial offering of his Reliance Power, the biggest in India's history. Despite the hype, the stock tumbled 17% immediately after its February listing. In a bid to appease investors, company's board recently approved the issue of bonus shares.

End of Dadagiri


When Dhoni handed over the captaincy to Ganguly after the fall of the 9th wicket in the last test of the series at Nagpur.It was symbolic of what Ganguly would be remembered as "The Best Indian Captain". His firebrand attitude towards cricket changed lot of things and is responsible for the ascent in Indian cricket.He took over the captaincy when Indian cricket was at doldrums after the match fixing scandal.
His arrival as captain marked an era of optimistic change in Indian cricket be it making Steve waugh wait;backing of youngsters like sehwag,yuvraj and zaheer.
He made aggression in him to spread throughout the team.A team which Dhoni has finally inherited,whose foundation was laid down by Sourav. (Dravid and Kumble were just a stopgap options for me)Hope Dhoni takes Indian cricket to the place where it belongs i.e. To the No 1 position.


Dada's career started in Australia as an 18 yr old.It was subject to lot of criticisms.And it eventually let to him getting axed from the side.He was later drafted into the side on the 1996 tour of england.There he made one and all stand up and admire his off-side genius.He went on to score Test century at debut,a record which still stands un-paralled in the annals of Indian cricket.His off side play was a treat to watch. Rahul Dravid had once commented "On the offside there's Ganguly and then there's God".He had the immense talent and precision of finding the fence even there were 8 on the offside.Also one of my fav shots was the down the wicket slog over mid-off that he had developed later on his career.He played this shot to the best of fast bowlers.Also his footwork against slower bowlers esp Left arm spinners was a treat to watch.



He would be remembered for taking India to the ODI world cup final,for his mesmerizing bowling spells at Toronto.His fighting 124 in the epic Dhaka final against Pakistan,His opening stands with Sachin.


Also he would be remebered for his tiffs with Greg Chappell and his eventual axing from the team also for numerous controversies that plagued his wonderful and vast career.
And definitly for his comebacks and his ability of showing grit and determination when it mattered the most.The ability that Indian cricket lacked the most.

It would have been an ultimate climax to the fairytale career of this great cricketer that he would have scored a Test Century in his final test.But fate had it otherwise and wished Sourav to bow out like the great DON.But still a fitting finale where he ended his career on his own terms with head hold high, in a series where he scored a century and a 86 against the (once)mighty and unbeatable Australia side.A side for whom ganguly had been more than just a thorn in the flesh or as aussies wud put it a royal pain in the a**.

I would like to end this blog with one of the most defining moments of Indian cricket. (3rd only to the 2 world cup triumphs acc to me)

Kurt Cobain's sucide note

Kurt Cobain's suicide was the most vital reason for his immortality. His
early death left everyone in a mystery questions were raised as in why such a young,successful and popular musician would contemplate ending his life at such an early age?

There were many theories put into place
(i)His wife Courtney had hatched a plan to kill him

(ii)He was depressed due to the sad state of the music industry and tired by the rockstar way of life

(iii)And the most absurd of 'em all.That he is still alive and his death was a hoax
so that he could escape from all the publicity.

I leave all the conclusions to you but i only wish that he could have committed suicide (or watever) after releasing few more albums.

Btw foll is the suicide note of Kurt Cobain wherein he states the reason for committing the act.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Boddah

Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously
would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee.
This note should be pretty easy to understand.
All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years,
since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved
with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to
be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as
creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now.
I feel guity beyond words about these things.For example when we're
back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds
begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie
Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from
the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is,
I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me.
The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it
and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I
should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've
tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God,
believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that
I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be
one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone.
I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the
enthusiasms I once had as a child.On our last 3 tours, I've had a much
better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as
fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the
guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I
think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too
fucking sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus
man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!I have a goddess of a
wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what i used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven,
I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it
seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because
I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.Thank you all from
the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern
during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't
have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out
than to fade away.
Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain
Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.
Please keep going Courtney, for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me.

I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!

2)Pichle saat dino main..



meri laundry ka ek bill
ik aadhi padhi novel
ek ladki ka phone number
mere kaam ka ek paper
mere, taash se heart ka king
mera, ik chaandi ka ring
pichhle saat dinon mein maine khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya

present mili ek ghadi
pyaari thi mujhe badi
meri jeb ka ek packet
meri denim ki jacket
do one-day match ke passes
mere naye naye sunglasses
pichhle saat dinon mein maine khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya

kaise, bhoolun, saatva jo din aaya
kisi ne, tumse, ik party mein milwaaya
kaisa, pal tha, jis pal maine tumko pehli baar dekha tha
hum jo mile pehli baar
maine jaanaa kya hai pyaar
maine hosh bhi khoya dil bhi khoya
kabhi khud pe hansa main,
aur
kabhi khud pe roya
maine pichhle saat dino mein
ye sab hai, khoya..

Awesome Story

This was the Day.

Tony had been waiting for this day for his entire life. He had his share of sorrow all through his life but now the moment waited him which would change his life forever. He was 22 and had seen so much in these years. He never knew what a mother's warmth was. She died giving birth to him. Soon after her death his Dad started seeing other women. Tony hailed from a very rich and prestigious family with generations having served the poor through the medical fraternity. Everyone was a doctor or a PHD but not his dad. His dad didn't take up the medical profession, in fact never tried to earn a penny.

Tony had a lonely childhood until Jane entered his life. He could still remember the day when Jane moved to his neighbourhood.He had found a true fried in her. Jane's company covered all his sorrows, he stated smiling, laughing and more importantly enjoying his life. And now he was going to ask her to marry him. This was his last day of college and he had been preparing for this moment for a while now. He had visualized the scene a hundred times in his dreams." Will you marry me Miss Jane?" He had memorized this simple plain line.

As he was waiting for Jane in his garden he heard Uncle Jack calling him. Uncle Jack was the one who looked after him for all these years. Mr. Jack was a Psychologist. He was very dear to Tony. "Can I speak to you for some time, Tony?" "Now? Actually Uncle ..." Before Tony could complete his statement uncle jack said "Tony this is really very important. I always wanted to speak to you about this but was afraid. Now you are older and you will be able to understand..."

"What is it all about..." Tony asked with a tensed voice. "Not here... Let's go inside the living room and will have a talk there" Tony followed Uncle Jack into the cottage. Tony was very anxious and nervous. He had never seen his Uncle this way. "Tony before I talk to u about it please promise me you won't panic and whatever happens always remember that I am with you." "God! You are making me too nervous. Tell me uncle jack what is it about". Tony wanted to get through this as early as possible. "Jane must be waiting for me" he thought.

"Tony you need to keep your calm. Know it will be very tough for you to understand..Tony, remember the day when you told me about Jane moving to the cottage next to ours?"

"Is it about Jane...?" he shrieked, his heart was pumping fast...

"Listen Tony There is no one living in that cottage for years now..."

"whhhat ?? How's that possible I have been there myself so many times....what are you talking about? I just can't understand"

"Please listen Tony. You were alone those days and were very upset with life. You didn't have friends then...You went through lot of things...You wanted to be happy but were unable to you didn't had anyone to talk to" Uncle jack moved closer to Tony and put his hand on Tony's shoulder. "And in such situations your brain plays bad games with you. You started imagining Jane as your friend...There is no Jane; Tony you are just imagining her..."

"Just just just imagining her...how can you say that ...I have touched her even kissed her cheeks. It's you who are crazy and not me..."

"Tony I know it's hard to believe this. But it's the truth. I always wanted to tell you this but you were too small to understand..." "No that's not possible.....you are lying ..." "No son it's your own mind lying you...please Tony keep your cool everything will be fine ...just trust me"

Tony rushed away from the living room. He ran to meet Jane in the Garden. But no one was there. He went to Jane's house hoping to find her there...he tried ringing the door bell but it didn't rang and how would it? The place was locked for 17 years now. He entered the Cottage through a broken window.Eveything was deserted. The sofa on which he and Jane sat chatting for hours was covered with layers of dust...

He was almost crying now...he moved to the terrace to find the rose plant they planted together. There was nothing only some rusted furniture and dust. He went back Uncle Jack. "Son, I am sorry but you need to get out of this..." Tony couldn't believe what had happened to him. The girl who he loved the most and wanted to marry didn't exist. She was fake, a thought, and a piece of imagination....

It took around a month for him to digest his fate. He was finally recovering. And that day before going to sleep he took those tablets which he took for last 15 years. He always wondered why Uncle Jack kept giving him those tablets. Now he knew the answer. He was sick. Sick mentally.

As he was about to sleep he heard a knock on his door.

It was Jane.

"Jane you cant be here...you don't exist..."

"What's that? Is this some kind of Joke, Tony? I came here to say sorry. I had to leave that day without informing you because my mom died in a car accident...I tried to reach you but somehow I was not able to..."

"Noooo! this is not true" said Tony. "There is no one called Jane in my life...I know that now...Just get away from me... "

"Whats the matter with you Tony? I am Jane your sweetheart your love..."

"No that's not true...." Tony closed his eyes for a moment hoping his dream would end....

Jane held his hand....Tony was shivering he could feel the touch.His brain was playing Bad games with him he knew it.

"Come here my baby you are not well...you need some rest"

"Go away from me ...just go..." Tony was breathing high now...He tried keeping his cool and took a deep breath. He knew this would be over once he convinced himself that there was no Jane.

"Jane you are my imagination...I made you..."

"Tony you can't hurt me ....you love me so much ...we had such a great time together"

"No Jane, I had a great time with myself..." What am I talking! I am going nuts..

He rushed into the kitchen. He came back with water all over his shirt... He could still see Jane standing there...weeping.

He was well aware of the bad games of the Brain now. He went closer to her... "Jane i made you ...now i will destroy you..." Zap zap zap... three stabs...Jane was bleeding... Tony could feel the red liquid ...bad brain games he thought...

"Uncle Jack. Where are you? I am cured now. There will be no Jane from now on...where are you Uncle Jack?"

"There is no Uncle Jack. I wanted to tell you this… All these days..." Jane gasped.

Breathing her last breath.
As sure as the sun rises in the east
Another gunman will come seeking my defeat
Will he be as fast as me, are his nerves quiet and still
Will he fall like all the rest ending his days upon boothill

Im an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
Im an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

As I ride into the sunset to take another town
Thank you for the invite, but I just cant settle down
The dust that coats my hat is from a dozen towns
Dust from shooting down another dozen clowns

Im an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
Im an outcast riding into town alone
I got a lust for wandering branded deeper than the bone

A drum beats for me, its louder every day
The cadence tells me that soon Ill meet my judgment day
Lifes an endless showdown never knowing when theyll come
I sleep with one eye open lying with my smoking gun

The game I play has caused a lot of grief
They were dying for fame, so I obliged them some relief

Im an outcast riding into town alone
I got wanderlust branded deeper than the bone
Im an outcast with lightning in my hand
I got wanderlust lost in no mans land

I got a lust for wandering lost in no mans land
I got wanderlust

Lonavla-Bhimashankar trek

Hi guys,

The last weekend was one to remember for me.
After a grueling 5 days in the office, I got a much deserved break over the 2 days.
Finally after missing lots and lots of treks since the last time i went on one,
I went to the Lonavla - Bhimashankar trek.

It was supposed to be a 75 km trek and supposed to be done in 2 days flat.
It meant giving up on the elusive weekend sleep.
I was too bored to go, until my dad sparked me off by saying that anyways you can't do it,it takes loads of guts and effort to do it and you are too lazy to put in that much of an effort.
That was the kick i was looking for,So i decided at 2300 to board the train which was scheduled to leave in 20 mins time.It meant a mad-rush to catch the train,I stuffed in all the necessary items i could think of: clothes,towel,rice,moong-dal.And in the hurry i committed the cardinal sin of wearing shoes to a monsoon trek.

I managed to reach the station on time to find the train to be late by 15 minutes.
After a standing journey we reached Lonavla around 1.30 am we caught up with the rest of the guys over there.And the 10 of us started on our way to our destination.

The start was boring as it is most times with a night trek.Struggling to come in terms with the pace,getting accustomed to the dark keeps you busy and before we could realize we had walked for 3 hours covering around 15 km on the way reaching our first milestone.We knocked on a villagers door, he guided us to a temple where we could cook our breakfast we had some maggi and tea,took a breather and started again with the sun out around 7 am.

The sun seemed to rejuvenate all of us.We actually could see whom we were walking with as i was seeing 7 of the 10 guys for the first time.Kondeshwar temple was our next 10 min halt.making our way to waterfalls,weeds and streams we reached there in our targeted time.My shoes had given up by this time.The soles of my Reebok were torn with the right shoe slipping on even a normal road.After praying at the shivling we left within no-time for Kasur village via the pathar.

Here it was where it got intresting as we reached a village first where the locals advised us to take a vatadya (sorta guide).We neglected them thinking they were trying to make the extra buck and anyways the best part of trek lies in finding places on your own.we left the village and were confused in no time.Dense fog meant very low/zero visibility,even the experienced Rohan was confused after a while.

We ended up encircling the same place for around 4 hours.Albeit the spirit of the group was worth applauding,everyone was trying to crack up some joke to overcome the misery.After reaching the same place for the third time we decided to have lunch in the middle of the jungle,accompanying us were mosquitoes and the rain.It was unique to say the least.After trying desperate measures (following the waterfall) we decide to walk towards 1 single direction.And it worked as after sometime we found a villager on his way he told us that we were on the right track.We walked for 2 more hours to reach Kusur.

Reaching Kusur everyone was tired,We drank a hot cup of milk-less tea and some more of the divine food (read PARLE-G).My legs weren't tired but on my shoulder a boil had grown to a size that i had seen never before and it was paining like hell especially after carrying the 20 kg bags for a while.Everyone was tired and resting while the tea was being made.I tried the slide which was near a local school there.The rain had made it slippery and i landed with tremendous velocity making everyone break into a laughter.I repeated it once again.It was risky but fun.

After that we took a transport to Talpaiwadi and decided to spent the night there as getting lost had disrupted our plans to an extent.We made khichdi and stayed at school.

The next day my arm was hurting like hell.I decided to quit at that point as i couldn't carry on from that point and needed medical help.4 more guys left owing to fatigue and some other reasons.
The five of us left took a State Transport bus to lonavla and reached home by evening.

The rest of guys continued as planned.And completed the Lonavala-Valvanda-Kondeshwar-Kusur pathar-Kusur-Savle-Talpaiwadi-Wandre Khind-Padarwadi-Lower plateau of Bhimashankar.

It would have been great to carry on but considering the shoulder's condition even now it was
one of my better decisions.All in all it was a great experience.As always a trek gives u motivation and energy along with scars and body-ache.Also it was nice meeting new people

The 1 most important thing i learned from this trek was that nothing beats being planned in advance.It helps you on long treks and especially when you are screwed.


As for the pics we couldn't take much as it was raining a lot.Will upload if i get any of the pics taken.

Why Blogging ?? And why so late??

The D-Day has arrived, finally after years of struggling to fight of tremendous bouts of laziness , after getting bored of flash games, social networking sites, TT and all the possible ways to kill time in the office, I thought that i had done it all and now finally after all this time (read 1.5 years) I would start getting bored in the office like others and finally succumb to working ,but then while reading one of the zillion forwards (mails)I read a friends blog it was the most funniest thing i had ever read.The idea of blogging fascinated me as you can actually write whatever crap and get away with it, and people actually read whatever you write (at least in most cases). And most importantly working on blog office people might actually think I am working.So it is a win-win situation for me.So here goes..
P.S : Don't know whether i would entertain the readers or present a different point of view or anything like that. Only 1 thing is for sure I would blog regularly as long as I am working in this IT job. (also unless this blogging site gets blocked by the company's firewall),
