Ho... What a Night


It was 5'O clock, in evening my mobile reminder flashed few words... it was time to rush....Packed my laptop, took on my blazer and I ran to car porch... drove away my fiery red SUV at some high speeds... I could see the spider webs on the speedo disturbed...


Sorry Spidey, have to rush.....


Confused, sorry guys I forgot I had party, with whom....mmm guess....


I rushed into the lift, unlocked the door, took a refreshing shower, and dressed up in the best way possible.....


hoo was I looking like a Greek god.... eah eah... kich kich sounds coming from somewhere...

Okie at least I felt so......


it was now 6:30. I started to my destination.... hoo what a coincidence.. the RJ was playing quite a few romantic numbers.... I felt like god dude... Bangalore traffic, nah.. i did not complain....

the song which was playing was


"Phaela Nash Phalae ghumar.... Naya pyaar hai... naya inthizhar....."


I reached the destination.... it was a decorated farm house.... the lights were beautiful,the song came to my mind was

"twinkle twinkle little bulbs how i wonder what u r......"


Okie.... everything apart back to topic....


After parking my car, my eyes were on search, they were just rolling rolling around... to meet the target... there is she...


yea She was waiting for me, but i was not that late though.....


She was happy to see me, we passed a smile and held hands and moved into the hall.... hoo what a decorations, it was just superb, the pomp and splendour in which the party was arranged was really great.


the dance floor was superb..... all were dancing so were we. Salsa was at its best, we soon took the center stage with our salsa steps... all were clapping and were astonished on our fete.... the flexibility and swiftness was commendable....


we were in for a great applause once we finished.


It was time to say goodbye, we were on our way back, it was quite misty.... fog was at its best.... we drove slowly, with romantic music in back ground......


It was her destination, she had to get down, reluctantly we decided to split for the day, but some thing was holding us.... the count of goodnights' we said would be more than two hands could count....


before we split we decided to share a piece of love..... we approached each other, the distance reduced exponentially...... and we neared some thing made disturbed my concentration... i ignored it, but the disturbance grew louder... the situation was like two like poles of a magnet which wanted to meet, but some force prevented it...


the sound grew larger, it was my mobile ringing.... what no reject and accept display on screen, instead Snooze and Stop display.. before I could think more.. my eyes were wide open, i saw what i never wanted to see.........



yea.. it was the Alarm on my mobile.... I was awake.. by sleep was broken.... my dream was shattered......


it was as if once came out of a James bond movie without watching the climax......


Ho God you directed a great dream, a Blockbuster... but why did you not direct the climax... did the producer pulled out in last moment.....


To be continued... but do not know when..........


Too close yet too far..... hey Did i ask the name of the Girl who was with me..... Did I???????

No action goes unnoticed, even the mighty sun has to leave his reflection behind.

Salsa Monkey - Redefining the meanings

I bowled a bouncer it was hit for 6, he bowled a bouncer I was taken all the way to hospital....
Whattttttttttt... Salsa and cricket.. is it a the wrong post under the ....

Hey not at all.... To get to the preview, it was long i put on my dancing shoe.Always dreamt of having a show of my own in stage ... to it was decided i shud try a hand this year....

So I ringed in Mr A ( ma partner in all crimes in company)

Me : Munna urgent come to phone booth .. Jaldi
A : Kya huva munna, okie here i come

I took my laptop and moved with Mr A to phone booth. Ma manger gave a look up, his look showed he was impressed... Inter team interaction. this boy is rocking ( hopefully he was thinking in that way) I was so notorious in ma company I am made to sit just in front of my manager, Head of Technology and Business. :)

Mr A was totally confused about the meeting... we was wondering whats the new stuff we gonna cook up...

I meeting started. dude we need to learn Salsa or Cha cha... Anyways we are performing the cinematic stuffs, how about those professional....

Mr A.. mm sahi hai.. i 2 was thinking.... U have any plan

Me: Yea, therez a center near ma flat, how about that....

Yea we can ask Ms N suggestion, We rang Ms N and made her join for expert advice. She advised thatz a great place. All the best

Clock struck 5, I said good bye to all and me and Mr A ran to the Salsa center

We entered the center
A smiling lady in front welcomed us. For some second I forgot i had come for admission... Teenage blues huh...

Now to point, We introduced to that lady say Ms K

Me : we came to register our names for the salsa classed

Ms K : ho welcome sir, plz be seated, U came at right time, our next batch is gonna start 2mrw.

Me : ho yea.. then enroll us for it, its Beginners right, it would be fine.

Ms K: okie sure sir, It would cost Rs XXXXX

Me : Yea, please go ahead.

She took down my name, then came the questions

Sir your partners name;

Me : Mr A

Ms K : Pardon me Sir

Me : Mr A

Ms K : Sir it should be a gal partner.

Me : Hooo I just forgot ( how i forgot the partner issue) I needed to get one...
I looked at Mr A in confusion

Ms K : Misunderstood ma Look she said, Sir U need to have a gal as partner..

Hoo gosh, my integrity was at stakes now.....

Me : Totally confused made the biggest mess when I asked her, don't u have any one with you....

Ms K : what??

Me : realising what i just said , I reiterated, can you please suggest similar girls like us who does not have partner.

Ms K : sorry sir not anyone at the moment

Me : My eyes fell on the display board, I said, hey why don't you put up a notice in one of those boards....

Boy.. I cud see steam coming out form Ms K's face.....

Now after making some calls to Ms N in office for the search, which all went in vain.

I was totally sad on seeing my dreams crashing like an avalanche of snow, was this the global warming all talking about, Now I started realising the sex ratio I had read in class 9th text.Now i understood its significance...

When I was about to leave I said good by to Ms K, and a casual talk, I asked r u the instructor... She said smiling Ho no.. I am just a staff.... I do not know Salsa

Boy my partner is here, my mind said, but i never expected this pulse from the brains to be converted into those audible sine waves which will strike the ear drums of Ms K, but it came out, may be due to the avalanche of excitement.

before any harm could have happened, Mr A and I left the scene.....

Hooo gosh learning Salsa is not that difficult, but getting a partner is......
Now I for the first time felt the dis advantage of being Single.... ;-) no regrets though....

Now I am busy doing my Aerobic classes, and know who is accompanying me there......

Comparing those mirror images


The sun was over the horizon, I was still on bed, when some alien sine waves created the vibrations on the drum, hence converting the sine wave to what we call the sound, yes I was woken up by the puff and huff of my mom, wish mom had a snooze button, which could ring after 10 mins again, but it was not to be. I was woken up, this time my mom wanted to see me as a Driver. Yea.. these wishes from parents; I have been hearing from my childhood....
Okie no more beating around the bush..... My sis was paying visit to my nephews school, and they wanted me to accompany my sis.

We reached school after the 15 min drive, I decided to be in car itself, rather than hearing those blah.. blah from teacher, which i used to experience in my school days..... now its not different, my manager has taken over the role...

As I was waiting for my sis in car, I saw school kids rushing to school, this scene did drive me to my old days....

I used to reach the destination at 8:30, then after dumping my back at my desk I used to push to play ground, the warm up before the classes.... after the game, assembly starts, were the prayer goes on. Then the classes start, usual talks by teachers, usual punishments, usual standing on bench... it was all fun. The fun did not end there, on reaching home the debrief of my school activities was narrated by my sis to mom, she should have joined some sports commentary team.

The usual complaints was mom you should see him.. in assembly his shirt was out, improperly inserted, in afternoon he was running in the hot sun. I saw him standing outside his class.... ho gosh it was fun......

I enjoyed the parents teachers meeting, my mom had a tough time hearing my complaints.. teacher used to say.. ho my gosh, this boy is unmanageable. How u manage him at home, his mouth never shuts, always blah blah blah, even during class hours. Thankfully i was ok in studies, so less complain on that front except from Sanskrit teacher who says this boy is allergic to his language, ask him to study this once in a while.

Those were cool days i really miss those day... hey wait do I... nah.....
Confused.. its simple dude.. My work is almost like a school......

But not parents are in to meet my manager its me alone doing those stuffs.....

The 1On1 which I have with my manager once in a month , reminds me those meeting.
But now talking is not a crime, I am appreciated for talking a lot.... ha ha what a change of time.. while I was small I was complained for talking, now I am appreciated... Mom are you reading this.....
Now I think child, teacher will complain if your kid is not talking, IT boom guys.. what a change....

I am Thinking
But life is moving
Needs are not the same
but I am still the same
From child hood to adulthood
I am still the Robinhood
Even though the needs are not same
I am still the same.

Physique is not the same
Needs are not the same
but the inner me is the same
Yes, the freshness of lime is the same.

kicked the blues.....


hey ho yo.. I am Back......I was not dead, nor terminally ill, nor was I kidnapped by aliens, but took a break from the online civilisation to rejuvenate the constipation ridden creative imaginary cells.:) The break was due to the lack of some creative topic or happenings.


The new year did not sprout any new saplings worth tapping the keyboard.But a break to visit Dad and mom rejuvenated the drought ridden misty dew. The rain with imagination filled drops lit my brain and I am back....


The online civilisation is here to stay...... I am back.... dew drops are back so is the freshness of the line soda.......

Screaming @ Speed Breaker…..

As I zoom past an eventful 2k7 and was about to enter 2k8 with out taking the pitstop…. I all of a sudden screamed at the speed breaker…… I had to take the pitstop and ponder into few events which made me think and think and think and still thinking…..

Last week of the year as usual office was buzzing, and the superb weather of Bangalore added to the splendour, every one was deciding on the party for new year, shopping for new year.. All were ready to unleash the wallet on anything that caught their eyes.

Some were unhappy with the party destination, some were unhappy with the suit and the list just grew bigger……

For me I decided to take off from everything… and get the much deserved rest. It was about 11:00 pm when the little devil rang…. Tring… Tring…tring it was ma frnd Rahul….

Me: yeaaaa… Rahul

Rahul : dude…. Ma car just ran out of gas….. come and pick me up…..

Me: Okie dude in 10 mins

I put on my jacket and rushed to the spot to pick up rahul…..

Picked up Rahul and rushed to the oil station to get some gas for his car.

Boy he was complaining about the chill in the weather. He said this jacket is useless, it never keeps me hot, and then he turned to me asking why I did not bring in the car, since riding in bike was too cold.

A smile from me thru the rear view mirror answered his question. Now he started complaining about the club which was supposed to host the party.

Dude the club sucks…. Nothing much to boast about only fancy lights and some drink, as usual dude, why can’t they do some thing special. I had spend few thousands naa….

I had no answer for this question. A simple mmm was my answer.

I had to stop at the junction because of the traffic jam.. Yea traffic jam at 11:00pm it happens only in Bangalore….. New Year eve dude

As I stopped my eyes fell on an old lady setting up her bed on the footpath…. She was not complaining about the chill in the weather, even she only had a tore blanket, and not the expensive jacket which I am ma friend wore. But we were complaining.
From this stop we rushed our way to the fuel station, as my friend was getting the oil into the can, I was waiting outside. I saw a small hut made of tarpaulin, he was mending it, with his family inside, safe… mm I guess itz safe. Looks like he was also complaining, not like us about the party, but looks like for some money for making his dream house. So was my complaint we made was a valid one????

My mind was like an ocean, it was quite unstable, I just took Rahul and dropped at his club. I gave some excuse and I ran away. On the way saw a small street vendor selling jackets, got one and gifted one to the old lady on the streets…. The surprise in her face the smile in her lips was really some thing beyond explanation. Yea I did it… for the first time in life I felt like I have done some justice to my existence on this planet.

I felt I had the best New Year celebration…. This really gave me the feeling and I thanked god for all the comfort he had given me, and offcourse I think I will think twice before I Complain about any thing.

Yea I made a screaming break before I entered 2k8. A well deserved pit stop break.
