<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I always loved to discover and get along with latest
technologies. In particular with the computing devices such as Laptops, Tablets
and Mobiles.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The love for mobiles stared to grow way back when I was
in college. I was seeing many Symbian Smart-phones around and always wanted to
have one. But as the financial front was not that strong, I held myself. After
final year, I started to look for a job and got one in Mumbai. Finally I stared
to earn on my own. By this time Nokia’s N series was at its top. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">And just because of this reason, I dared to go for a <b>Nokia
N-81</b>. It was really nice decision as I always wanted a smart-phone with
good music playback capabilities. It was worth a shot. That phone lasted for
about 2 years and I felt like utilizing it worth for every penny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Then I started my hunt for another smart-phone. Nokia N
series was obvious choice. I almost decided to for Nokia N97. It was speculated
as most powerful Symbian phone at that time. But thank god and thanks to
Internet. I came to know about <b>Nokia N900</b>. It was based on altogether a
new OS. MeeGo 5.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I googled a lot and learnt more about this os. It looked
very promising and I decided to go for it. News was like, <b>“Nokia is going to
invest into this OS big-time and all the following smart phones from the Finnish
phone maker will be based this OS.”</b> I was really excited and asked my
friend to get it for me from US.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I still remember 1<sup>st</sup> Jan 2010. He arrived from
US and I went to receive him at Airport. Then returned to my flat carrying that
mighty beast. What a day it was. Indeed a Happy New Year had started for me. I
was fully into that phone for almost 2-3 months. It was very pleasant experience.
I was really enjoying cool features as TV out, TV remote via internet, FM
transmitter and many more. Sometime later, I learnt that Nokia has not yet
planned to release this phone in India. I was amazed, but then thought they
will do it soon. Then as 4-5 months passed I started to feel that the apps for
this phone are very less. No one was talking about this phone around. Again, I
turned back to internet and discovered the MeeGo Community page. Gosh, I was relieved
to found some cool stuff out there. People in that community always looked
promising and helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Then the news came that “<b>Nokia and Intel are going to
tie up for a NEW OS. Maemo. It was going to be mix of Nokia’s MeeGo os and
Intel’s other OS ( Cant recollect the name now </b></span><b><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span></b><b><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> )</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">” . It was fascinating
news for me as I learnt for the first time that day I can switch onto that OS
also. WOW !! That was cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Months passed and I kept every track of News about this
OS. The project finally started and the first device rumored was going to be
Nokia N9. “Ok”.. I said. What about Nokia N900 ?? It seemed that, Nokia N900
could also be capable of running that OS but was not officially. Hmmm.. that
was quite a setback. I kept looking for a build which I could install on my
phone. Finally one day I got a Beta build which could be installed on N900. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, I took a day off on that day and downloaded that
build. And managed to install that build according to given instructions. Bingo
….And ..then restarted the phone. I got a screen with dual boot options. Wow.. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> I felt on could 9.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I booted to Maemo and was </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> ..
Yep.. It was beta build and I knew that. But still I had my hopes and they were
not fulfilled </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> After spending 4-5
hours in Maemo I returned back to MeeGo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Now was the time when people started talking about a new
OS. Android. A new OS platform which also based on Linux and now acquired by
Google.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Hmmm… I went to YouTube and searched for the videos of
devices running that OS. Well, to be frank, I didn’t quite liked that OS UI. So
left quite lucky in the world of N900. It was the time when I got a GPRS
connection and stared browsing on phone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Then came the shocker. <b>Adobe Flash plug-in</b>.. I
learnt that the new version of flash was not supported by native browser of
N900. God..now what ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">If you remember advertise of Nokia N900, it was projected
as the smartphone with computer capabilities. And now.. without Flash player,
the online world started to look so dull and dark. I was not able to see
YouTube videos on this phone </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> Was
not able to browse the web with fun as like on desktop. This was time when I
switched OFF N900 and switched ON older N81.As it had Flash lite support</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But,
still I had hopes. I always felt, sometime later the people from Nokia will
come up with some promising solution. But no.. they didn’t.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">N900 was left to die by Nokia. News then came that <b>“Nokia
is not interested in pursuing the Maemo project. Intel was now alone.”</b> It
was bad </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> Even though the community
had some hacks about getting flash player installed on N900, it didn’t looked
that easy and worth trying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, after some months, I revisited YouTube as Android
was making news. It seemed as a promising OS with lots of customizations and
tweaks. Then I googled if there is any way of installing Android on N900. To my
surprise, yes there was a way and a nice attempt made by NTDroid team.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I once again applied for a sick leave at office and took
a day off. Then, followed steps to port Android on N900. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> It looked quite promising but yet, after
installation of android the PHONE capabilities (like placing and receiving
calls, sending and receiving SMS) were under development. Hence, it was not the
choice for a day to day use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Meanwhile, I switched my job and located to Chennai. Here
in my new company </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I spotted few Android devices. I was really impressed by handling
those devices and the feel was awesome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">But still, I had a feeling that there will be another
powerful OS somewhere. Once again, I went back and with the help of internet,
landed onto a NEW platform. “<b>Bada</b>”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, the OS platform from Samsung. Then again was the
time I went to YouTube. The look and feel seemed quite better than Android. The
only question was, will this OS live or same thing like MeeGo will happen? Will
it ever have as many applications as Android has ??.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I was confused and in that confusion, made my mind to go
for <b>Samsung Wave II</b>. The specs of this phone seemed too good. I took chance and got that
device.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Again, for few days, I was quite lost into world of Bada.
Those days were fun. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Now was a time for one more setback. 3G was launched in
India and it was a faster internet service. Obviously I decided to switch onto
it. But the shocker was.. Samsung Wave II .. It supported only speeds upto
3.2MBps. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">God.. How I missed this ? I was asking myself. This was
the day when I again took my N900 and got
3G working. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> But.. still no flash
player solution was available. What to do ?.. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Android .. Is it really worth a shot ?.. A real study and
introspection was needed . Finally… I made my mind.. “Yes.. Go for it… </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">The hunt for a nice Android device now got started. The
primary contenders were HTC Incredible S, Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Milestone and much hyped Samsung
Galaxy SII (It was yet to be released. Rumored date was after 2 months </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So, what to do now ?.. Galaxy S or Incredible S or Moto Milestone?..
After reading user reviews and many more expert reviews I decided to place my
money on <b>HTC Incredible S</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">All I can say is…. till this time this device hasn’t let
me down. I rooted the phone just after a month and the openness of Android is amazing.
With lots of custom ROMS around, I am enjoying my ride with Google’s latest Android
version 4.0 (Ice-cream Sandwich) enabled Incredible S. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">J</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Almost every political party out there is opposing the bill (in

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Because, certainly it does not sound like a DEMOCRATIC nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

In this relative world you cannot predict how things will go and how you will
get the results out of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">On 16<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Aug when Aanna Hazare was about to
start his fast and the arrest followed. It has shaken the government and many
other people round the globe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Many Indians literally came on
the road by skipping their schedules to protest his arrest and to support the
Jan Lok Pal bill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Google might not have anticipated
this thing will swing the focus from their in focus “Google+ is the future
topic”. No offense,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Google+<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>is still in beta stage, but the
main part of crowd which was joining their network was from India and US.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Few weeks ago, the speculations
about recession have disturbed everyone when few financial analysts proposed
the financial crises before the world. US people then started to analyze the
situations very seriously and Google+ was sidelined from their news.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Meanwhile from 16<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Aug, those Indians for whom it was not
possible to be on road came on line to show their protest through social media.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Well established players like
Facebook and Twitter were off course the obvious choices for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Many things were handy and easy
like tagging and commenting on the links from sharing to posting even for the
novice users in Facebook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This time the followers of Aanna
Hazare all over the INTERNET (majority of them are Indians of course) started
to get involved into cause rather than exploring wonderful Google+.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I personally kind of observed the
traffic of posts in my Google+ stream and Facebook wall since last week and it
again proved that Facebook has gained the advantage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">These kind of situations are
really the moments when ball can swing in either direction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">For this time Facebook caught the
ball by launching various apps and promoting & highlighting the badges all
over in their network. It was really observed that the frequency of people
joining Google+ has found a down curve this week. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Is Aanna effect causing this ??
Don't know ?? But to me, it seems so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Obviously<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Google<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>is<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><b><span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "Calisto MT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">listening and watching<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">all these things (<b>They

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">1st
was “<b>Motorola acquisition by Google</b>” and 2nd was “<b>Aanna Hazare's

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Motorola
acquisition was nowhere near to heart but the 2nd news was. This is because;
finally after a long period of time, this anti-corruption movement was looking
very promising and very truthful as it was by the people for the people.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Aanna
was arrested at this home way before proposed time of the fast and when he
asked the reason of arrest, Delhi police said, “We have orders.” …… I
mean, are these politicians are now giving ORDERS to arrest the people who are

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">In
ancient times, people were being ruled by some Cruel Emperors and fate of the
people used to be in hand of these emperors only. Then, slowly people started
to think and act for their own welfare and many of these kings faced revolt.
These kinds of things laid the foundation of democracy and things started to
look better.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

is not what Aanna Hazare and his supporters are saying that their DRAFT is the
FINAL version and it should be made as law. What they are saying is the draft
presented by current government is very hopeless and has no real room to cure
the real problem of corruption. It is also quite evident that the opposition is
not fully supporting Aanna’s final DRAFT and is ready to accept it as a law.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The
Congress party has always been very biased towards many decisions that they
have taken against any individual. They are really blind having the power in

pathetic when a common man’s issue is neglected and their son’s &
daughter’s weddings are covered LIVE. It’s shameful when our Telecom minister
uses his own interests in making a deal happen, it’s shameful when our
Agricultural minister is biased towards sugar factory owners and do not make
any provisions to help farmers, instead he heads the ICC panel and enjoys
matches abroad when there are serious issues to be dealt with in his own state.
It’s really shameful when our Commonwealth games are arranged with such a
double standard quality and the money made out of it is not transferred to our
National treasure. These all events and recent scams really place us in a
situation where we, the common man are forced to think about our own future.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now
the situation is getting so worse that we are feeling to call ourselves as
citizens of world’s largest democratic nation.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">As a
common man, we have enough problems in our personal lives to be dealt with.</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But when these kinds of situations arise we often find
ourselves in dilemma where we are in no situation to go on road in our office
timings. We are not always in a condition to go to a place and participate in
these protests actively. </span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">While
on the other hand, we are aware and we understand completely that these are the
main problems in front of us and for the welfare of our society. We are still
forced by our private reasons and problems to work in office rather than being
actively involved in these protests.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Still,
this time, many people came on road as the Government was looking deaf and dumb
to act on the situation.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Are
we really in an Independent country and should be celebrating our independence
day when we ourselves are not FREE in our own country??</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">These
are really serious questions and we should solve them.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>We should come and unite our
support for Aanna Hazare’s noble cause.</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">As
far as myself is considered, I am not on road with an Indian flag to support
Aanna on weekdays. But I will continue to write and support the cause in ways I
could.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Hoping all your support
for this cause and Aanna’s campaign.</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">There are many things which
happen in your day and they make you think over them. It may be from some one's
Facebook update to some news on TV. Something similar happened today which made
me think over this and provoked me after so long time to write again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The news about Anna Hajare's
fasting is gathering attention of people nationwide and the main reason behind
it is "It is for the people".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">After definition of democracy I
have not seen recently something of that sort happening in real life. There are
many events, gathering for social cause but none of which I witnessed so far
has some sensible meaning like this one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Yes, Finally, the people of India
are raising their voice over the corruption and the demands for punishing the
people who are part of this ill disease.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If you have some ten minutes of
your time, then please use them and think on this question with all your
brains.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"How many scams were
revealed during last year and what has finally happened to them or the people
involved in it ?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Many of us might have seen
"Peepli Live".The media seems to have played some similar role in
real life too with these scams. If the Aadarsh scam is revealed and the CWG
scam is now making the news, let the Aadarsh scam bite the dust and let's
follow up with CGW. Then that 2G spectrum scam started heating the air, CGW
went off from the scrolls and Telecom sector was in NEWS. Then the WORLD CUP
came. We won and the headlines like "WE ARE CHAMPIONS" are making
news since last 3 days. YES, I agree, Team India really deserves it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But what about those scams ??..
Remember BOFORS ?.. Remember TELAGI ??.. Remember HAWALA SCANDAL ???.. CHARA
GHOTALA..?? SUGAR SCAM??..So many..We seemed to have forgotten all those over
the period of time. All those string operations and the efforts to know the
truth in this dirty politics are forgotten and no real followup with this is
made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">At the end of every March, we all
are bothered about paying our taxes and saving our money. Every single effort
seems waste after hearing those BIG SUMS of scams.Just read somewhere that,the
total amount of money involved in various scams over the last 12 years alone,
since 1992, is estimated to be over Rs 80 lakh crore (Rs 80 trillion) or $1.80
trillion!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">WHAT ????... MAN.. ARE YOU INSANE
??.. what is this ??.. From where all this money is coming ?.. and more
important.. Where it is going ??.. It's our money !!..How these people are
capable of hiding and getting away from these things ?.. Does this thing ever
bothered you ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"YES", might be the
answer of everyone reading this. So ??.. So what ?..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Let these people do whatever they
are doing. GOD will punish them for their deeds and they will not be happy in
their lives. Right ?.. Come on man .. Get up !!.. How many times we are gonna
convince our self with these false things ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Somewhere down the line we are
responsible for this. Don't you feel so ?.. And these are the things that we
have been knowing well. But still, till no one takes initiative and no one is
bothered by it why should we ?. Is it really so ?.. Is today also we are going
to think over it and then forget about it ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Let me put my frank thought.
After seeing the news and just prior to that reading this in some pic on
Facebook, I also have thought the same, just liked the concept. But was not
really willing to pay more attention to it. Why ?..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Reasons were simple and common.
"I have got my work,my family,my other priorities and Lot's off stuff
ahead of me to achieve in life.Why should I waste my time in these things ??.
Those who have joined might be having some free time and some good bank balance
to make their living. I have to earn it for my family. I need to earn it for me
and my future."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But there I saw a man in NEWS, in
the rally ,with some hording saying like<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"If not we?.. Who??.. If not
now?... When??" ........ Makes sense ..right ?..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Think over it, we certainly do
have our work and priorities and need to earn money in this world to make our
life beautiful. But are we really going to succeed in this try ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">What if tomorrow you come to know
that the company in which you are working has been declared blacklisted over
the night or your bank where you have deposited all your money for your child's
future has been bankrupt ?.What if your all savings and plans for your future
are devastated over night?.. Then after digging in to it you come to know, the
reason is some politician who has sanctioned the grant of your company or bank
has been accused of corruption for doing so. Hence the orders taken by him are
no longer valid and some court has taken these steps for the safety.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So.. now .. in that condition..
Will we be really safe ?.. We will start cursing that politician and then ?..
then what ??.. Paralyzed ??.. Any better options ??.. Suicide ??.. what ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Are we really not the people who
are proud to be citizens of the largest democratic nation? Where is our self
esteem ? Or something of that sort doesn't exist anymore ?. Are we not capable
of doing or contributing to make our society and in turn our own life better ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"Prevention is better than
cure". This has just remained tag line of a condom company or we are still
capable of understanding this saying ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Not only because of this
nationwide protest which is making the news now, I am asking you to step up and
contribute.But for the sake of yourself, for my, for your and in turn for whole
societies future, please step up.. Let us all step up and show the support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If we really can take some time
(I am sure, we all are capable of taking some time) for this thing, we can make
difference and that difference will in turn help us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is not something that I
wanted to write just because of this day or this is not what something
extraordinary that I am writing. But this is something which is written in
ANGER and the ANGER has some valid reason behind it. The simplest reason I found
is "Just like you, I do not like my money to be used by some person for
his own use !!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">You know it !.. You must be
having similar feelings against corruption. So, why not we stand together and
do something about it ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Politics is dirty and we all have
been saying this from long time. No one is really bothered about the dirt
inside and no one is willing to sanitize this gutter. After every five years we
encourage these dirty creatures by voting them. They rule us, eat our money and
in return what do we get ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Let's start.. start to act now,
otherwise, be mentally prepared for these scams and scandals kind of things and
do not complain later about this corruption in future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">We all might be having very jam
pack schedules, but still we do have enough time to go on Facebook and update
our status messages, like someones pic,watch some funny video.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">And.. this.. this is not FUNNY.. This
is serious.. Damn serious, because this is related to us and this is all our
money that these people are putting in Swiss banks and living lavishly on it.
If you are concerned by any of these things, please show your support for this
movement and be a part of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not asking you to travel to
Delhi or some ground to show your protest. Just do educate and bring more people
around you to talk on this. Spread this, Spread your word. Show and feel
concerned about it. After all we all are suffering from this. If you remember,
this is how the Independence movement has started. People started feeling,
talking, writing and showing their support and finally were rewarded by the
Independence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14pt;">N900 has the fastest web-browser yet
(I guess till this time, this information is true :P ).It has in built Adobe
flash player support and the web browser renders pages so smoothly that you
feel like browsing on your desktop. But this makes GPRS Counter run like
anything.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14pt;">I am using Vodafone post-paid
connection since last 2 and half years. Earlier in my N81,the opera mini
browser use take care of the GPRS meter. I never had crossed 5-10 MB in whole

checked 1 email and closed the browser and Internet connection. I was shocked
once again to notice the GPRS counter. It showed 5.8 MB. (If you are Vodafone
customer, you can make it ,to how much in INR it cost me .. Yes.. Whooping 58

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14pt;">Now, “What to do??” obvious was the
question that popped up. As the primary intention to go with N900 was to keep
in touch with all via internet! And if this will be the case, I surely will
need to rethink on the reason I bought this monster phone.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

next minute to ask for any special or unlimited GPRS plan. They elaborated 2-3
plans with about 49,200 and 500 monthly rental. I choose 200/- rental plan that

speaking I am not someone who wants to spend 1800/- on one postpaid connection

a second thought and unsubscribed the GPRS plan in next month.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size: 14pt;">Now, I was very eager to get a better
deal in GPRS ASAP. I called the customer care regularly after every 2 weeks to
enquire about same. Even the 500/- monthly rental plan was having .5 GB

waited very patiently till 3 days (They took 3 days to activate GPRS on the

disconnected the call and just casually went through their website.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

current GPRS plans in postpaid". I told them that Vodafone has better

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Seen and faced many things, mixed
feelings.. Enjoyed few ones and was hurt by few .. But that is what life is all
about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I,till now have followed the
approach of a storyteller.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Usually love to narrate the
things which happen nearby....Which involves me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But from last few days, I have
thought of changing the approach for a bit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I do not want to share some
things that involve me this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So let me get started on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When I have seen some things
happening around me, I love to analyze them in my own way. I try to justify
them to my heart and extract some sense out of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Off late, I have taken a rather
long holiday due to some health problem. In that free time, I have seen many
things which I have seen earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But at that time, those things
have skipped and the details were unnoticed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">At this time, I had all the time
in the world to think on these simple things and elaborate them to myself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is one of those things on
which I have not thought hard in past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Electricity... Yes .. I belong to
a place where the M.S.E.B. has given us only 16 hours to charge our mobiles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not complaining about
missing 8 hours (my mobile gets charged up in 2 hours), but come on..this is
something that has been happening from last 7-8 years and we have got used to
it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Irritation, Frustration and anger
all has passed away now. We have started to accept the situation as it is. But
when you are in Mumbai, you do not see a single minute of interruption in the
supply.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">(I know, Its much important to
this city to have electricity than my town... anytime)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But why on the earth, we are
taken for granted to get only 16 hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not complaining about my 8
hours. Actual situation is worse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">My town needs to manage for only
8 hours, but the villages nearby have almost 16 to 18 hours of cut off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am clueless how they still have
managed to do in the farms? And make their living?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Even nearly every farmer in there
has Inverters, but unfortunately, they do not even get enough time to charge
the batteries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">There certainly is need to do
something on this issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Congress government is doing
great at this moment by sidelining all the major issues happening around us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Food .. Electricity and water are
the areas on which at least I haven't noticed any significant development in
last 4-5 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Still, Congress managed to get
the majority!! .. Bravo !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The point is .. What and why the
delay ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The dams have enough water to
produce the electricity and the rain is also above expectation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But when asked to a engineer in
MSEB , the project is not able to produce enough output to satisfy the needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Come on man!!... About 7-8 years
ago, government rejected and closed the "Enron" power plants, saying
they are producing electricity at very high cost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now.. the other vendors are even
charging more and still they are not able to satisfy the needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">What to do now ?.. I am finding
my answers on this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If you have something to share,
please feel free. I want some light on it !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>

the day remembered as the day which saw halted lifeline of Mumbai.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But, on the same day, another
important decision is due.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Ajmal Kasb, the only caught
terrorist of 26/11 Mumbai attack is yet to hear the Death sentence from the
court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Till this blog is finished, I do
not think, we will hear the final judgment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But, what made me to write this
blog is article in Mumbai Mirror that I read today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">It was mentioned that,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">During trial, one police officer
told kasab "Tuze to main fansi ko latkake rahunga !"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Whereas, Kasab replied "Are
sahab,pehle guru ko to phansi do !"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">(Guru-Mohammad Afzal, who is due
to hang for his part in the 2001 attack on <st1:country-region><st1:place>India</st1:place></st1:country-region>'s
parliament building).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">In December 2001,when the
parliament was attacked, there were very few people who knew the truth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">12 casualities,7 were the Indian
citizens ,including 5 lady constables and 2 male while 5 were Terrorists who
attacked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now, at that time,
Mr.L.K.Advani,(Home Minister of India) told "Those 5 terrorists looked
like Pakistani's."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This sentence was criticized a
lot but then forgotten down the line.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The 5 people who attacked the
parliament were dead. (Still not clearly identified,who were they ?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So, who is this Afzal Guru? How
he came into picture?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Afzal's cell phone number was
found on each of the attackers, written on the backs of their unsealed paper
IDs,<st1:place>Mobile</st1:place> call records. It showed that these 5
people who attacked were constantly in touch with Afzal Guru who was in <st1:place>Kashmir</st1:place> at
that time.<o:p></o:p></span><u1:p></u1:p></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then, he was arrested and was
sentenced to death in 2004. Yes .. 2004.. 6 years it has been till now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">And still we, the Indian
Government is not able to take it's stand.Are we being fooled ??<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Like many of the Indians, I feel
this man should be hanged till death and message to those who are raising the
war against Nation should be conveyed.<br />
But, today, I took out some time to come to a conclusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Yes.. Finally!!.. At least to me
it was rather difficult to come on some conclusion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">My conclusion was, It is failure

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Why we should need 9 years to
come to a conclusion?..Why he is not yet hanged even when in 2004 Supreme Court

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When you fail, you come to know
the importance of the success and then you try harder to get it !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This may be one of the reasons I
still feel that MI (Mumbai Indians) will come strongly in IPL-4.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">On the eve of 25th April, MI when
were asked to Bowl, they were under pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Even they bowled good till
13-14th Over, they paid for their fielding mistakes which has cost them high.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then the very first maiden over
from Ashwin, made a impact. Then few quick wickets and late arrival of Pollard
on the pitch made it worse.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The only man, at whom the whole
nation looks at was kind of nervous and that made me think over the importance
of IPL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Is this THE tournament for which
the players are showing the extreme commitment and passion?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not saying they should take
this league lightly or casually, but how often you have seen the players
putting their 120% on the field when they play from India ?.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">YES.. You can take your time
here... I also have taken mine before writing this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The main problem is this IPL was
formed in the Rivalry of ICL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">ICL also was a good tournament
but BCCI was against them. I suspect the main reason was "Kapil Dev".<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Yes.. To me it seemed like that
only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

LEGEND present recently at BCCI functions?..<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So to me, not Mr.Lalit Modi,but
Kapil Dev has contributed more to the birth of IPL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">To us, it has portrayed as IPL is
child of Mr.Lalit Modi,who has dreamed about this long time ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Truth is, BCCI needed plan B to
overcome ICL, which might have got the popularity and fame, which some BCCI
officials didn't wanted at that stage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So, huge packages and huge
publicity was made and this was potreyed as the DREAM that Indian Cricket
always wanted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not against 20-20,but I see
the things differently for the things that IPL has given to Indian Cricket.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Like a disappointment to Yuvraj

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not against the IPL either,
but I just wanted to watch fair cricket where a dedication and commitment to
sports and country can be seen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I believe MI will come back
strongly in next season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">And just in case if they didn't I
might cheer for Pune Warriors too :) :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">See.. Everything do not happen as
you wish, but you can certainly you can analyze the causes and you can always
learn from it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When the NEWS Channel/media was
formed, their main motive was "To convey every useful information from
NORTH-EAST-WEST-SOUTH" !.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">And today..When you see the information

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">We usually pick the T.V.Remote @

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Why should "Sania

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

everything that is happening around us going the right way ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

really know when but slowly and strongly all started to feel the

it is?..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Like everyone else, I was puzzled too.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Seat no.10 has 2 major advantages.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
1?.. Hmmm..It's "10"...God's number man.. :) :P<br />
And the 2nd is ..The top sliding window when opened,nice breeze comes in..
Especially when the AC is OFF and there is this only window which can let the
air In :)<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
But that doesn't mean I didn’t wanted the artificial...But so called "COOL
AIR" ..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
As expected. .Slowly... Everyone started to check their ac Inlet.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
1st one was a boy .."Boss... A.C. Chal nahI raha haI ???.."<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />

hai.."<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
.........Small pause. may be very small.......<br />
Everyone started to chuckle. ..Whisper...and slowly started shouting :P ....<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
"What's the point in waiting for other bus ??..it will take 1 hour ..may
be more..to come.." ..A lady…Seemed older one… spoken in a fairer
tone..the driver heard her and started bus...<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
5-7 mins might have passed at most..now the situation was out of control and
bus taken 2nd halt..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Now..what ???... ...1 min...2 mins. .3rd minute might have just started and we
were out of our seats...following few other people who thought it's better to
get some fresh air...gate was opened and heat was building up...<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
We when got down...observed that driver has gone at backside of the bus..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
What???...why he has gone back ?..a girl started in her gentle tone..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
...<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
.......<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
...............<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
”Lady...I can give you many reasons ..but..not really want to in front of all
those people outside .. “ Boy standing in front of me whispered and GAGS were
all around.. She was clueless though<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
"He had belt in his hand when he was going back.." This was other
girl..but was looking better than the earlier one…That’s why it had made the
others think about it.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
So..why waiting here..???..let's go back..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
When we went to backside of bus,the backside was opened.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Driver was struggling to point out any obvious error if he founds any.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
We also let our vision fly around the opened bonnet..<br />
....There it is..a belt is not in proper place..it seems,it has slipped off the
pully....<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
You don't always need to be a mechanical engineer to get these things
right..This time it was me :P ...Computer engineer !!<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
All looked at it and to all of them..it seemed something wrong.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
So..we tried and putted that belt properly on the pully.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Driver wasn't still sure if this will work..He went and started ignition...bus
started and he turned the temperature button.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
1 minute it might have taken and….”Ohh…Finally..”.."A.C."
.."Wow..great !" Were the sounds heard from bus.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
We didn't needed any confirmation call to get back into bus.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
We all almost ran to bus and driver started the bus.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Within 5 minutes may be..the much needed "Artificial Air" started
flowing. .And every soul was resting in peace .. :) :) ..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
No....this doesn't mean I can fix the A.C. or coolers... Don't approach me :)
:P<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
but the moral was ..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<b>"Use your common sense...It helps ..and all you need to do Is a
try..ways are always there. "</b>:) :P :)</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">On Saturday..@ 4.00 A.M. I finished with this 129 minute
movie. The journey from the start itself seemed like it's meaningful.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Storyline involves 2 doctors..1 male (Dr.Ananya Ranade)
and 1 female ophthalmologist (Dr.Niraja).It's not usual love story as the girl
is having "some white spots"…Leucoderma ..("KOD" is what
called in Marathi) on her face. She is matured and wise enough to know what the
reactions are when some one sees her.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Both love each other, although he has not proposed her,
but she understands clearly he has fallen for her. She though has the Herculean
task ahead of her to convince and get her place into hearts of his family. As
always, the first sight of her makes them upset and they make their 1st opinion
about her. But the his cousin brothers and sisters like her and eventually she
wins all the family.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I do not want to really elaborate minute details of the
story, but it's really a must watch movie. The way everyone in movie has given
fair justice to their characters, writer and Director also did their job to the
perfection. Loved the way the songs have been placed in the movie and every
minute of it.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">It certainly is one of those movies which make you to

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">After this movie, I understood "Beautiful" is a
word which can have these many dimensions. Beauty is not always materialistic but
it goes further than that and true sense of it lies ahead. When you see
someone, the face tells about the person (Actually we make it out rather).But
when you see this movie, you are forced to think ,It's really not the right way
it should be. .The movie conveys a strong message that<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>will power when coupled with
enlightenment can easily overpower destiny.</b></span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Sense and simplicity are also much important when it
comes to judging the person. Not really want to sound like a philosopher but,
it is what that this movie teaches.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">These 24 years have taught me many things and now the
brain is strong enough than heart. But certain things are still there which
needs heart to THINK upon it. And that is where it really makes the difference.
This movie has taught one more important lesson ... Give yourself some MORE
time to make an OPINION about someone.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I was not able to get a sound sleep after this movie.
It’s not disturbing movie, but it has something in it that makes you think some
aspects of life, which you might not have considered till now. When 2 matured
persons struggle to make a decision, you come to know, how much still we think
about so called "SOCIETY".</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If you like something, you are getting every joy, pleasure,
peace and feel of completeness from it, you still are forced to think "How
will the outer world react to this??".. That exactly is covered
beautifully in this movie and presented more clearly.</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Before I die, there were 2
unfulfilled desires of mine !<br />
<br />
1) India should win a World-Cup ,with Sachin's major Role in it !<br />
2) Sachin should make a record of Highest ODI total by Individual and score 200
odd runs in a ODI.<br />
<br />
24 Feb 2010 !<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I would undoubtedly say "<b>This
is so far the BEST day of my entire life</b>" !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
39 years of One day internationals (2961 ODI matches) and not a single double
hundred. But 24 Feb 2010 has written a golden page in history of game !!<br />
1 wish came true and i was the Happiest man on the planet !! (i know..you might
have heard similar reactions from many people after GOD did this...But..add 1
more in them !)<br />
<br />
I can not thank Sachin enough for giving me this moment on which I can live my
whole life :)<br />
What a proud moment for all Indians! India’s greatest son has yet again given
us a moment to cherish.<br />
<br />
In case you are not that great fan of GOD, (Shame on you @ first :P) you might
wonder, why persons like me keep hyping up this person ??..<br />
"With age on his side, this man is set out to be the highest run getter in
the history of world cricket.<br />
He has already won rich praises from people and fellow/former cricketers who
see in him a living legend and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
a master batsman who is leagues above his fellow cricketers.<br />
Truly, a living legend and a great champion...then who are you to question why
he is not great ?..and why I should not hype his did?? "<br />
<br />
Whenever Sachin achieves some milestone, there always starts a question<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: "Calisto MT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><br />
<b>"Is Sachin Greatest Cricketer ever ?"</b><br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Many times this debate goes on for a week or two.. without any conclusion.<br />
(Even more than 90% people say YES ...every time.. YES !!!)<br />
But I say, this still does not conclude as the rest (less than 10%) people are
always there, eager to get in some focus, by saying "NO".<br />
They only have "Sir Donald George Bradman" on their side to defend
this crown.<br />
<br />
But, let me say Sachin is not only the best,he is beyond any comparison...Not
even with Sir Donald George Bradman.<br />
Bradman lived and played in a different era, and the game has progressed and go
to a complete new level now.<br />
We have even more countries playing the game, more competition, better bowlers,
much better fielding and strategy.<br />
Super computers to analyze each player last game and the strategies.<br />
<br />
Sachin, on the other hand, is by far till now the greatest player.<br />
And he's right here in front of us, in flesh and blood.<br />
All of his flaws and strengths are under the spotlight in front of a billion
people over the globe.<br />
He is even undoubtedly most studied cricketer by opponents.<br />
<br />
Batting aside, it would be fair to wonder if Bradman would even be remotely
capable of handling this kind of pressure.<br />
When he comes to bat,whole country (I even can write HALF GLOBE) prays to God
(other than Sachin... :P ) for his 100...every time.<br />
<br />
There have been better players than Bradman, even before Sachin came along .Lara
and Viv Richards included.<br />
Tendulkar versus Bradman?<br />
What world are you living in??<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here are few remarks when GOD achieved his 200* yesterday,<br />
<br />
"I thought the way he celebrated when he reached his 200 epitomized the
man's persona.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
There was no running laps around the field, no aggressive gestures, nothing
over-the-top.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
He did what he always does, raised both his arms, closed his eyes for a moment
and quietly acknowledged that it had been done."<br />
<b>==> Anil Kumble,who is also a TRUE champion of Game.</b><br />
<br />
"If any person deserved to do better than me it was Tendulkar. I am happy
for him, there are no real regrets."<b><br />
==>Saeed Anwar, whose 194 was the previous highest ODI score.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b><br />

<br />
Here is what GOD said when he got the Man Of the Match award for this match.<br />
<br />
Tendulkar:<br />
"I don't know how to react to this.<br />
I would like to dedicate this to the people of India who have always stood
behind me for these 20 years amid the ups and downs.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
I was striking the ball and timing the ball well, it was coming on to the bat
nicely.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
Yusuf came and changed the momentum and MS really struck the ball well; it was
due to their big hitting that we were able to put up such a big score.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
It was only when I got closer to the score that I realized that I had an
opportunity and I could take the singles to give MS the strike.<br />
I'm enjoying my cricket. I've always played the way I felt was the right way to
play, always done what I felt was good for the team.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
There have been times when I've made some bad decisions as a batsman, but as
long as in my heart I know that whatever I'm doing for the team at that moment,
I'm going to go ahead with that.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
It feels good that I lasted for 50 overs, a good test of my fitness. I'd like
to bat another 50 overs at some stage and see that the fitness level doesn't
drop." <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">(Thanks Cricinfo.com for this :)
)<br />
.......................<br />
....................................<br />
............................................<br />
<br />
I really could go on and on on this..<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
but if there is start, there needs an end !<br />
So.. would like to conclude here for the time...<br />
I guess till he brings the 2011 World Cup in India !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
Yesterday night I had watched this advertise by Aircel...again...(May be for
100th time)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But,there was a small difference
this time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Manish (My room-partner) and
Prashant (My hostel room-partner) were there...watching it .. i don't know
their count ..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Manish and me have already
donated by visiting<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><a href="http://www.wwfindia.org/help/donate_for_tigers/">http://www.wwfindia.org/help/donate_for_tigers/</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Even though Manish uses<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Airtel<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>and Me with<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>Vodafone</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>since last 2 years,we are appreciating
the effort by Aircel :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But, yesterday, Prashant said
"This is all ****...nothing will help..this is all their money making
policy !!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Obviously,our ego's were hurt and
so were we. :(<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then began the furious
discussion,... ,............, ......-----.......-------,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">many things were said and many
were understood and many were rejected .. but..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">we (Me and Manish) concluded to a
single point..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"<b>I don't mind giving
1000/- to a noble cause,as it makes me feel good !..if that single moment gives
me some pleasure</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">and feel of satisfaction.. and
somewhere deep in my heart i feel i am right.. i am happy.!!</span></b><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">As it is for sure..either while
taking Clothes,accessories,we would not have given a second thought for 1000/-<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">so why now ??.. and especially
when it is for some good reason. ??..<b>Man..go for it !!..</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The discussion ended soon as some
news channel started to show some stats about<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>GOD</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>(<b>Sachin Tendulkar</b>)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But then ...after few minutes.. i
really stared to think upon it.. once more..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">given a deep thought.. !.. Tried
to think more deeper..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">And then found some lines that i
could share with you all..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">See...<b><u>Saving the
"Tiger" means saving Our self !!..</u></b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Yes!!..Not only because Tiger is
a great animal but it is also the indicator of the forest's health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Saving the tiger means we save
the forest since tiger cannot live in places where trees have vanished and in
turn secure food and water for all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">If we make sure tigers live, we
will have to make sure that deer,rabbit and all other animals that the tiger
eats also lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">To make sure that these
herbivores live,we must make sure that all the trees,grass and other plants
that these prey animals need for food are protected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">In this way, the whole forest
gets saved!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Saving the tiger means saving its
entire forest kingdom with all the other animals in it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">As we know forests catch and help
store rainwater and protect soils.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">In this way we protect our rivers
and recharge groundwater sources.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Areas with less trees lead to
floods, killing people and destroying homes.It takes away the precious soil,
leaving behind a wasteland.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The soil jams up our lakes and
dams, reducing their ability to store water. By destroying the tiger's home, we
not only harm tigers, but also ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The tiger thus becomes the symbol
for the protection of all species on our earth since it is at the top of the
food chain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So.. at the end of the day..if
it's your birthday ..if you are throwing a party @ Mac-D,CCD,KFC or
..where-ever..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Give a second thought if you
can.. I agree your friends might not be more delighted if you will tell them,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"I will give 1000/- from our
treat to Tigers and we will have only Samosa today !!" :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But,i guess you can tell them
this way,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"Lets not drink 1 cold-drink
this time and save those 500/- which will be given for Save Tigers from all of
us"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">and they might feel good..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">After-all,these are all independent
decisions...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Meanwhile i came across this

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">(Where there is a will, there is
a way... this was derived from above quote !)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I have heard/read it somewhere
years ago..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But on 8th feb, when I was in
Pune, I recollected it as the situation has forced me to remember something
like this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">What happened was, I came to Pune
and was on Pune Station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I inquired about the Bus for
Karve Nagar, and everyone seems to have different and firm opinion?...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">1) "It’s on the left hand
side only"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">2) "I guess you will need to
have auto...its too far and you are on the wrong side"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">3) "Take a left and go
straight for five minutes and then ask for Depot and you will get it."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">4) "You cannot get the bus
from here .. you will need to go to Deccan to get that bus..or go to
Corporation stop..its easy.."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">What the hell ??.. I have
experienced this hospitality of these people earlier also..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">That is why it was not new thing
for me.. So i called few friends and concluded ,3rd option was near to
something meaningful.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">At last..after 15 odd mins, I got
the depot and it seemed like they are builded up "Highly Confidential
Zone" in there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">No where you will be able to
locate any boards/signs indicating that this place is indeed Bus Depot !! :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Even the entrance to it seemed
like a small parking lane.. ??.. why so narrow and dusty road ??.. i didn't got
that ?..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then was my real test.. The bus
conductors in Pune would have been working as City guides in<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><st1:country-region><st1:place>Russia<span class="apple-converted-space"></span></st1:place></st1:country-region> </span>i
guess..<o:p></o:p></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When I asked ..Which bus goes via
"karve Nagar" ,they reacted like I was on different planet !!..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Some of them said..it's in
Kothrud .. (Yes… it’s correct. I even knew it.. That is why i need bus which
goes there.. )<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Some looked like I was asking for
lift and they were driving BMW in there... what a crap..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">After 2 years in Mumbai,you can
not expect that people will misguide you in directions. but that does happen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The Pune Crowd seems to have lot
of time and skill in navigating people round the city.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">They really taken 15-20 mins to
speak out ..the bus goes from right corner of the depot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Finally got the bus and it has
taken 10 more minutes to start.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When the bus started the conductor
went to driver and told him<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"Do not get panic..its easy
..!!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">what ??... I thought I had enough
for the day..what does that mean ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Is he driving the Bus for the
first time ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I then learn quickly that
"This driver is driving bus for the first time from Pune station to
Kondwa!"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Wow... what a way to start a day
(in fact..afternoon)...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I had kept my figures cross..as
it was the only thing in my hand :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Conductor was constantly telling
him "take a left now.. take a right.. now stay straight.. no.. right..
are...right.. u turn.. "....<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">and the driver was following him
word by word..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I thought for a moment.. how the
Conductor is managing to give tickets.. and navigate the driver just in time
??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">was he in Intel ??
Multitasking...you know.. the processors do that thing best.. :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">When the conductor was busy in
giving tickets,driver taken few rights and few left turns for granted...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">i guess he was having a count
down timer for a turn.. many be a turn is compulsory after every 3 mins ..or
something like that.. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">There were few moments when
everyone on the bus thought, they will be having "Pune Darshan" in
free..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The conductor,soon recovered from
the shock when he has seen the bus in some OTHER lane..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">He shouted.. "how .. why ..
when.. why.."(again..and again.. ) pouring few bad word to driver..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">He then shouted to the
travelers,don't you know where are you going ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am at least was not the culprit
!..Rest were...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now what ??... was the question
in my mind..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But the people traveling were
quite customized to these situations..I guess.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Very few of them reacted.. and
then slowly started to tell "Correct" way .. I was out of my ideas...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I then switched on my music
player and plugged the earphones.. 15 mins i counted and then removed the
earphones..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then asked my co
passenger,"how far is karve Nagar ?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">5 mins ..may be the next stop..
he replied and I was really happy :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Picked up the bag and stood up
from the seat.. then went to the front door..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">It had taken 10-15 mins and i
finally got the board "Karve Nagar" .. I looked at Driver..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"Does he know.. he is
supposed to take this STOP ?" this was the question in my mind..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Then 2-3 people screamed and
yelled at him to stop the bus.. thanks to them..I got chance to get out of that
dangerous vehicle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Finally.. after 1 hour of
journey.. i was @ karve nagar.. looking at the bus ..which just dropped me..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Right turn..it has taken
and i thought.. is he on the right way ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<u1:p></u1:p>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">forget it.. i got my
destination.. and let others worry about theirs.. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">My day started on Sunday....(I
guess I better should call it afternoon finally as it was 1.10 P.M. when i hold
my mobile to checkout time..)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So finally my body gave up and
bed pushed me to getup..i heard them saying that, "you should check the
legs as they might have forgot how to hold your body when you will stand
up!"...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now it was turn of my legs to
hold me up and take to gallery for fresh air..they did it well and i was
pleased.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The mobile then started to ring
in.. I held it to check what's happening..it was reminder of *Aus open final*..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Clock still suggested i have
45 mins left in my hand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Picked up the brush quickly and
started to finish it up in more than usual speed to save the time. Then quickly
got hold of bathroom and had bath...as usual..milk was there and Manish (my
room-partner) was ready to have a cup of tea..a glass i will say..as we
regularly take tea..regularly can be seen from different prospective than
normal people here..means..2-3 times in night..(@11.30 P.M. after dinner..@
12.30 A.M. while cursing the office...@ 2.00 or 3.00 A.M. may be while bidding
Good night to each other.. :P )<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Made tea quickly and Star Sports
did rest..Federer and Andy were warming up for the big game and so did
we...holding glass of tea and bread in hand..we started discussing the number
of sets the match should last.. 3 was my count and Manish was with 4..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">We are not quite optimistic about
Roger..we are confident..more than on him..on him...when he has that tennis
racket in hand..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">No doubt God always had been our
favorite and then comes the Roger.. (God to us is none other than Sachin !!..I
rephrase!!.. Sachin and Sachin Only !! )<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">We then started discussing the
reason as usual...both struggled hard to get their goals..both were criticized
a lot..but both still stand TALL than every other player in their league...
Just like us.. :P so.. Fedex ought to be our favorite..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">First set started ..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Fedex and Andy were on ground and
score was 2-0 in no time.. we were happy but Andy was not.. he came with strong
returns..and score was 2-2 ... then it went to 4-2 quickly..and then to 5-3..
off course Roger was leading it.. we then hold our nerves till he finished it
with ease on 6-3.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">:-) Some muscles on our faces
were given some trouble and they started to produce the first smiles of
the day..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Second set started and Fedex has
warmed up to take easy lead once again.. Andy meanwhile seemed to work hard on
some points.but when you have champion in front of you..it happens...so did it
happened.. we were clue less when Fedex made it 5-4... and then 6-4 in 46
mins...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">"Are you sure...it’s going
to last for 4 or 5 sets ?.." i asked myself and Manish..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Third set started and Andy
bounced back..Really Strong ..very strong indeed..if I recollect right..it was
2-2 ..then 2-4......<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">ohhh. ...ohhhhhhhhhhhhh..mmmmm....umm....
..oooo... wahhhhh...ohhoooo..ooooooohhhhhhhhooooooooo......... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">only these were the strange
noises which we were making out while watching it .. who thought Andy will
bounce so hard to make it 2-5 ????...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Still Fedex was holding it cool
and showed us some great stuff for which we have been eagerly waiting for..
score was 3-5 .. 4-5 and then 5-5 ... :) :) :) Smiles all over again...But
still tension was all around... is it going to go in tie break ??..and Yes...it
did ..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">6-6... Tie break started and we
were like 2 statues .. not even wanting to open/close our eyes as we may miss
out some action...some serious action out there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The tie break was thrilling...The
tie-break produced fine shots from both players, and intense drama for the
15,000 fans at Rod Laver Arena as Andy failed to convert four set point
chances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Fedex missed two championship
points, but at 11-12 in favour of the Champ, Andy clipped the net with a
backhand, giving Fedex his fourth Australian Open title..Every once aroused to
give them ovation so did we..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Wow.. The moment has finally
arrived !!.. We stood up to salute the Champ.. It really taken hard to stand
up...but we need to.. !!.. Although it was quite one sided match.. The way Andy
fought was nice and brilliant effort..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But, as there is Only one winner,
Roger was the obvious choice. !!...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">We were happy and happier minute
by minute...That moment made me think ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">What have i got ??..After 2 hours
and 41 Mins ??.. Happiness !!.. Sheer happiness !!.. and i am still happy..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thanks to Roger.. He will surely
will be not informed about either me ,Manish ..but still he made us smile !..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<b><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Calisto MT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Fight back and fight back HARD
!!..Till last minute !!..</span></b><span style="color: purple; font-family: "Calisto MT","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This was the lesson that I
learned today.. (Once again..its not new for us..our teachers had tried their
best to teach this since kinder garden..But today... Roger and Andy showed and
taught us more better !)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So once again salute to Roger and
Andy ...Stay tuned for next grand slam.. French open ! :) :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">No !!.. I didn't got job in there (Although I am looking for some
bright opportunity : P)..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">but I guess..like me,you must
(might ?? ..??) be unaware of "Who invented USB ?"...()<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This question stroked my mind
when today, I plugged my phone USB to charge my phone...so I asked
"Google" ..who is the one ??..it redirected me to numerous results
and I trusted Wiki among it :D ..you need to..its a Rule man @!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I have got (means the Company has
provided it actually.. :P ) 1 USB HUB from iBall which has 4 USB plug-gin
sockets) USB HUB and I saw my Mouse,Keyboard,Sansa were already plugged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Still I have got 1 more vacant
socket where in I can plug-in my phone USB cable... That was the very moment
when I thought.. what a USEFUL thing it is !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I mean really..when I first heard
of USB long back..I do recall..I have thanked the one who have invented it!..
also when I first used it..i did the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But today was different.. I was
aware..but still ...it has came to rescue like a Friend when I was in need..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">That's why.. I really want to
thank "Trek Technology and IBM" for the USB !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">USB had proved very handy for me
like everybody out there who have used it.I can carry my Data and what not on
them when I need to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Also would like to thank Nokia
for giving me huge storage of 32 GB on board and thanks to SanDisk for their 8
GB MicroSd Card.Also would like to thank that "Company in Thailand"
who has made<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">that USB cable that I can carry
:P ..Also last but not the least would like to thank those anonymous
Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers who have taken their efforts while
making this<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">beautiful thing happen to us.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">??...(Does the above para seems
to be from any "Thanks Giving" session ??... I think.. I just
overused "Thanks" in there...but that's what they really do deserve
!!..don't they ??)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Now,on another hand,i also tried
to make my "Brain" (where ever it is located ..still this is HOT
topic among us to discuss since decades!!..) some more Innovative..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">It then produced another
thought.. "Why Blue tooth can't charge phone ??" ..i do not want to
read the numerous thanks again which I just gave to one who has invented this
technology also..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">but my point is "Why Blue
tooth can't charge phone ??" ..i am not claiming here that I am the FIRST
one who has thought of it..But I am ALSO THE ONE who has thought of it..@my
need only. :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Still.. ... .... ......... ......
ohh... I can't just think over it for hour and come up with solution..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But someone will.. and I will be
there (as usual) to THANK him ..many time..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">so let's keep our eyes open and
wait for that day.. I can smell its not that long.. :D<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br />
When you hear the word "Pigeon" , you might say "How cute
:P" (if you are girl) and "ohh.. Kabootar..ha toh aisa bol na.. to
aage.." (if you are boy)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But really.. I can not make out
any of these expressions when I hear this "Pigeon" ...don't even
think it in other way.. (i am boy and that is for sure :P)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The reason behind it is, this
creature is making me "Awake" each morning.. suddenly flies off from
my gallery and lands back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">They might be "n" in
number in my society, but my morning has been spoiled by 2 of them since last
month.. I suspect they are "SAME 2" everyday..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Tell me how can you distinguish.
remember a pigeon ?...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I even try to count the start in
night, but the number keeps changing for me everyday.. that is why I am weak in
maths I guess :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Same way..I can not
distinguish/remember/make out differences between below few things..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">a) Pigeons b) Chinese and
Japanese people c) Sin/cos/tan/cot/cos/.. And what was the last one ??.. d)
Special Tarkaree/Shahi Sabji/Veg Hundi/Mix Veg .. and many more things.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I am not that confused.. but
sure..you may be part of my community too :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So. where was I ??.. ohh.. that
Pigeon..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I had been struggling with this
peaceful creature since last 3-4 weeks,as they try to get in to my gallery.. to
make their home in there...a nest what they call them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Like Pearl Harbour, they take off
and land numerously with few pale, yellowish and dry stems from society garden.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">They are trying to be our tenants
without paying us anything and they are taking charge of our shoe store room
(Gallery) :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">This place is really the most
soothing part of our room, we can meditate, make time pass,have talk, have phone
calls ,have some arguments from here.. also we soak our cloths..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">and most important.. the shoes
and sandals... its really the best part where you can do/put anything.. :) .
not really.. but still.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">So they have attacked on the
leftmost corner.. the place where I keep my Sandals/Shoes/socks/shoe
polish/shoe cleaning cloth and All.. what not..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">2 weeks ago..brought new sandals
and regretted the moment when came to room and went to place them in the left
corner of gallery...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">The next day.. when went to
gallery to get Fresh Air.. foooorrrrr...or
fooooooooooooorrrrr..ooooooooo....rrrrrr... what ever.. I can not make out the
sound of Pigeon flying in words. :P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">They both flew away and mee too
nearly was thrown back ..i was frightened off course.. who will not..when you
have just woken up and you are still thinking of the dream you just had..still
thinking of the list of things you need to do... revising the good moments when
you escaped from those mosquitoes last night.. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Cherishing those 3-4 hours you
have slept..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">who would expect these birds
suddenly.. ??..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I then started my usual routine..
made some frightful noises..which were even not tolerable for me to hear.. but
I try these sounds to keep these birds away..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I don't know what that mean.. but
when I make those sounds..they stare at me.. (I suspect some times and laugh
also).. wait for a moment.. exchange their eye moments..and takes deep breath..</span><span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">and start to come towards me..
then I get more anxious.. (did I just said "Hello... Good Morning..come
here" in their language ?.. or uttered any BAD words ??..)</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">don't know.. as they come towards
me.. I took one step back..then 2..then 4 and gets behind the door..then they
bid me BYE for 10-15 mins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">Me then quickly collected the stems
and the foundation that they tried to laid in there for their nest and throws
it away from the window...hoping they will not come and next time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">But they are Pigeons.. the symbol
of peace.. they do not hesitate to return back in few mins..even sometimes me
still standing there..they bring those stems.. and try to put it in different
way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">I guess..they might be either
from Architecture college ..or might be Civil engineering students..They try
new designs every time..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Calisto MT', serif; font-size: 14pt;">but till now ..result is the same..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">
