3600 kms on namma bengaluru road.

Bajaj Discover - 125cc

Hello everyone, I'm Discover -125. An ordinary member of the distinctly ahead Bajaj family. A shy, innocent, sweet cousin of the mighty Pulsar and Avenger bikes ! I got a life at the Popular Bajaj showroom near Yediyur, where I spent my days along with my fellow mates: Discover - 100 and Discover - 150 !!

when I reached 100km after 3 days

All was well and happy until a person came over to our showroom and showed interest in buying me. He took me for some 57000 bucks. I rolled out my showroom for the first time on the Hindu New Year day - the auspicious Ugadi festival ! Ever since, my bonding with my rider, a certain engineer, has been growing good to better to best !

He knew nothing about riding a bike ! I fell off the very first day of my new life. Thankfully, that has been the last one ever since !

I have so many many memories to share with you all. The worst among them was when a friend of my owner  almost hit an Activa, on the first day he took me to his college !

stop while coming back from Royal Meenakshi mall.

Almost every day, we drove together, through - the silicon garden city ! The Mysore road highway, Corporation bank circle, Electronic city flyover, Rajajinagar main road, BG traffic, MG road parking lot, Bangalore palace... so many many wonderful places.. !

I was not allowed to cross 40 till the first service. But even after that my owner didn't take me beyond 40..  !

After 5 months and 3600km of travel, I can now trust his driving skills ! We drive together, safely down the road. We speed occasionally, and only if necessary. Its important to keep calm while riding.

We rode almost 1500 km during his holidays. That was when I saw the most horrific part of Bangalore traffic ! Sirsi circle flyover to Nayandhalli is  the WORST ! Avenue road is the mother of traffic congestion.

My owner is goddamn poor in locating places ! He wouldn't dare cross ring road without a GPS and that's where his Nokia comes to use. But even then, the GPS suggestions are horrible and once we were almost lost, despite the technology, somewhere in the crowded streets of chikpet, while coming back from palace grounds !

I had to wear a big 'L' board for over 2000km until he passed his DL test.

Talking about the city, I feel its a wonderful place, with major traffic problems. The problem is more with the people who drive crazy (not to mention Autorickshaws). Traffic system is pretty good here, but people just wont follow them...

Jayanagar is my favorite place to ride (for no clear reason, my owner too likes that place ! ) Getting myself parked in this city is a BIG problem ! Once we had to search almost the entire MG road for a suitable parking space !

HSR layout flyover was the first time ever, we crossed 60 speed limit ! But the record for the maximum speed of 80 holds is in the outer ring road near Vijaynagar, and the stretch is AMA.ZING ! That stretch still remains to be our best place to speed !

Banshankri and Basvangudi are the most common places we visit. We saw the most of the city during the 10 day Indo-German mela held at palace grounds ! Those 10 days were memorable, as every alternate day we had to travel back in the night !

Only once have we drove during the midnight ! We left his college at 11.30 one day, and reached home at around 12.15 ! My owner was shit-scared that night as he had lost my Registration Certificate and cops could catch him anytime ! He would slow down every time he saw a cop. I need not fear a drunken driving experience as my owner does't booze. Though his speed makes me bored, I feel rather secure when he's driving...  

Oh well... that was a short story of my life in this big city. Had a nice time with him... He usually says - After dogs, bikes are a man's best friend ! A man spends most of his awesome time with his bike and can he imagine a world without his bike - N.EVER !
There's a very special attachment we two wheeler's have with men. Though they wont cry when we split, they still hide a very deep pain of having lost a true friend !
That's a different friendship !

Oh well ! Objects in the mirror, are closer than they appear ! ME+NOKIA+DISCOVER !

Alll righty..
3...2....1.... !
*clutch*
*gear*
vroooooooooooooooooooom !

L'Europe ! Voici que je viens... Europe ! Here I come...

A month before my exams was it decided, we're heading Europe for holidays this time ! A year long idea of a foreign tour finally coming to reality ! A wonderful chance to visit lot new places, meet lot more people !

It's a tradition in RBI to give travel allowance to its employees, annually. So most our expenditure will be covered by the public money !

The discussion was settled, Europe it was ! Travel package from Thomas cook. 9 days, 5 different awesomeness - Swiss alps, French literature, German technology, Belgian ice cream and a kiss of middle east at Muskat !

Have to search for clothes which are worth wearing in a foreign soil, pack 'em up - get, set n fly !!

60 hours from this moment, I would find myself among the clouds ! Time's flying faster than ever before.. ! Looking forward to my 3AM wake up call on Friday !

Daddy dear ! Mummy sweet !!  - I never can guess where I would be without you ... ! But with you I would find myself in nature's most exotic locations ever !! Twenty years of marriage have bought you both in a position to take your children on a foreign tour ... Thanks for all you've given me !! :) :) love u loads !!

Dear friends, Facebook friends, Cousin specials, Uncles & Aunties - Thanks for the wishes ! We're eager to share our experience with you all !! 

Vous avez toujours 

Always yours,

Aloki !! 

life here at rvce...

somewhere in the month of july last year, IIT-M website apologised me saying:
" Sorry, your name doesn't appear in the rank list", when I entered my registration number of JEE - 2011.

My search for NITK seat lasted till august, which again was elusive.

The dissapointment, frustration of not getting a seat 'atleast' in NITK soon died in the month of september... ! I stepped into the 'top' college of karnatka and soon joined that elite group who were probably the last batch of students to be chucked out of an IIT, or an NIT... ! For us, IIT is a mirage, like the golden deer in Ramayana, Mareechike !
.
.
.

On the day of orientation, the chief guest was supposed to make us beleive that having lost an IIT seat shouldnt dissapoint us and that in some issues, RV stands better than most of the IIT's... He was an ex-IITian himself. For the first time, I was proud of my CET rank !! I belived that there was absolutely no difference between an IIT seat and a seat here at RV....

It took a 8th mile (RV fest) and a Saarang (IITM fest) to prove I was wrong ! Sample this:

On the day of our HSS interview (Extra curricular grades), for showing the certificates of organising and participating in the Techno-cultural Extravaganza, 8th mile, many of my friends were pissed off for getting only 'E' grade. Whereas for just showing the entry ticket for Saarang, a friend of mine got away with a 'B' grade... ! Seriously, B grade is something which u cant expect everyone to get !

RV boys boast of having 40GB, whereas IITM boys have 14TB .
(14 TB of what ?? )
well... err... I cant say that !! :'>

Well, so this is a short introduction to my life at RV... 3 more weeks, and its an end to my first year.

Dumb, Idiotic, Stupid, and totally useless friends.

Not everyone gets these kind of buddy's ! From eating lunch, staring at cute girls (rare to find though), to fighting for 2 rs change in the canteen - we do it all, together ! ASN, PS, AVK, PJ, MR, PG, KR, ASK... etc  (kill me if I've missed out anyone... !)

One probably will marry an RTR someday, another has vowed never to show interest in shaving. One shares my name, another shares common thoughts with me.. ! One will go on to become that nerd in The Big Bang theory (Sheldon is his name, I guess..) another will finally get 10K views for his blog ! One likes photography, another adventure while one more is so ever confused yet so sweet frnd !! ! I've all sorts in my class ! :) :)

Monotonous, Irritating, Boring,...

Lecturers, yeah.... However - as an oasis in desert - we do have some great teachers who doesnt mess up with our attendance, or throw us our for sleeping. That's the least what we expect from our teachers these days... I've got more scoldings in these two sem than my whole school and PU life put together... ! I'm not proud of it. But seriously, it's impossible to impress or atlest avoid scoldings here. Cant explain how. In PU it was different, we knew teachers closely. But its hard to find such people here...
Academic schedule looks so packed up that teachers are in a hurry to finish up the portions left, unlike in PU where we take one year to study the same 6 subjects...

Living as a team...

This is one important change in me, I feel. I'm now learning to be a part of a team. Thanks to NCC and Project Vyoma for that. Its not that I'm the most important part of the team, there are many who have worked hard for the team. Helping those ppl itself motivates you to do something for the team...
As my brother had said before, till 10+2, its all individual excellence, after that its all about how well you are in a team. Very true !
In our coll, getting a 9ptr is not at all difficult. In Engineering, anythin above 80% is reallly good...

Win or loss, its the team's effort that counts... You may have to give some little extra work and time, but when u need help, the whole team is there behind you ! That's the time when u realise the value of teamwork. Working together for a common goal, is so very special !

A dear frnd of mine SVM (IITM, only IITian I know !) and me have been a team of two... ! As a team, we have done so many things ! won few, lost few !! If am writing anything about team n teamwork, it's all what we've learnt as a team ! :) :)

Brahmachaari life...

no comments ;) !! just waiting for that special someone to fall straight from heaven and land in my arms ! :) :) My pillion is waiting................

That's not it about RVCE ... ! It's just my mind stopped thinking any further ! Maybe I'll write a blog, 'what not to do at RVCE, nine point somone', in future !! :D :D unfortunately, haven't met any of my prof's daughter !! ;) he he !!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Thank you all... 
Wishing myself the best of luck for the SEE !

(liked it or not ?? bouquets or brickbats ?? please drop your comments here ! If your heart is kind enough, do share this... :P :P :P )

one evening...the Sun, milkshake and her !!

Evenings !! such a special time !!

It was late afternoon... around 4.30... Finished my days work at college, took the last sip of coffee.. !
There she came with her friends... ! giggling and chatting as always... !

The western sky became red & ready to swallow the Sun !! Birds flew, sang happily... !

I could feel my heart beating, I could feel me breathing, I wrote a thousand poetries inside my little heart to explain her how it felt inside !!

Took that deep breathe,,, Meanwhile my heart and mind were at their usual fight, between 'yes' and 'no'.... !!

But that day, my heart won for the first time !! 'yes' it was !!

The sky above was more interested in pushing the Sun below the Earth ! The Sun became ready to take the dive !!

"ummm .. exx.. excuse me... ", did I just say that ?? she turned towards me ! She had that sweet look on her brown eyes !! The long ponytail looked perfect for her cute face.. ! The smile looked decent but thoroghly melted me......

The clouds gathered together for the perfect greeting to the Sun god... !

"Yes,.. u called me ? ", I dont know how she knew that call was for her ! Off all her friends, only she replied me ! I gained some hope !!

"umm.. can I talk to you now ?? If.. if its not a problem to you.... "

She smiled and nodded... She then requested her friends to wait for her outside... !!

They giggled at that... and they gave us the space needed....

Above, ruby rays of the sun swept across the sky... It seem to clear the sky and make way for the twinkling stars...

I immediately wanted to put those three magical words, and tell her....

Yeah I did...


"You - want - coffee ? ",.... how lame :P

"No, thanks....... if u insist,  a milkshake would do !", I really dint want to insist !!

"bhaai ! erdu apple milkshake !! ",  I ordered two milkshakes for us...

After we found a suitable place outside the cafeteria, she broke the silence...

"you wanted to speak something... ? ",

"ya, ya.... I just, just wanted to tell this to you... that... ", idiot, stop stammering and tell it to her... !! come what may !! my heart was speaking to me...

"I love you.... " !!
Again, did I just say that ??

No, idiot... this voice is much sweeter than yours... !! SHE SAID IT !!!

The Sun by this time was half inside the clouds... !!

She continued...
"I love you.. that was what u wanted to say right ??? ", Her voice sounded frank !
I now forgot to breathe or forgot to hear the heart beat which were the only voices inside my head till now !!

"YES ! I fell in love, the first time I saw u... The first time ur eyes met mine, when u picked up the coin which fell off my pocket that day... !! I was totally lost in your eyes !! Thats it ! that smile of yours !! it completely snatched away my heart from me  !! YOU are the girl of my dreams !!  Now tell me... do u love me ?? ", my voice did not stammer this time !!

Her smile didn't vanish.. but her smile looked different now, I thought.. but couldnt figure out what it meant....

"Tell me, what do you expect from this relationship ?  what should I expect ? ", she said...

"This ain't business ! To expect somethin out of a relationship, how cheap ! I promise you, I love you more than anyone else in this world ! My love NEVER dies ! remember that ! what else do you want, a written agreement or what ?? ", my voice was louder....

"dont ever judge me !! I have never met u before, and now you expect me to get committed to u ? how can I even do that ?? ", she replied, was not angry...

"All you want is time right,,, I'll wait for days, months, years or whateva for you.... !! ", me filmy !!

" Stupidity ! what if I make you wait for years and then reject you ?? You guys will call me a b**** what else ?? If I readily accept, then if I change my mind for someone else,,, u'll call me a s**t !! Is this all how a guy respects a girl who he loved so much ?? A girl is called a s**t if she does the same thing what a guy does !! HOW CHEAPER is THIS ??? ", she could talk loudly .. !!!

"I am not that kind of a guy... now U stop judging me !!! So u do change minds, huh ?? ", me wondering what is this turning out to be !!

"That's what ! How can I be sure of a stable future if I believe you ?? A girl, ultimately wants a stable and secure future with her husband ! Can you assure me that ? You yourself is dependant on your dad and mom now !! what if, just what if you dont............. ", she stopped in the middle. I understood what she meant...

" So I cant expect any support from my partner if I get committed with you... ! you will leave me stranding alone if I become a loser aa ?? GOD !! u ppl do exist !! ", I was rather sarcastic at her....

The sun by this time was completely inside Earth and out of the scene !! Vanished into darkness !!

"You can have your dream girl, but I cant have m dream boy, right ?? I dreamt of a guy who is completely independant and can promise me a safe future... That's it... ! I dont want Ambani's son or whoever !! Right now, I cant trust you to provide me a  safe future, am so sorry... ", she really meant that sorry...

The evening breeze froze me completely ! I thought of a few good words as a reply... Somehow, a girls rejection didn't bring out any words out of me, though I had thousands of them inside ! That sorry hurt me the most.. !

"I meant when I said I wouldn't accept even Ambani's son, coz even he is totally dependant on his dad completely ! He is a nobody if his dad throws him out... ! So how can I trust him ?? I know how to trust a person, so I need not be thought about that. I know how to keep that trust also...

Please dont be upset... Dont lose hope in life, be a successful person in life... ! Lets be friends from now on, but for a committment, am sorry... I have been frank, and.... thats it ! ", she gave that haunting smile again !

I sighed !
"umm... yeah, yeah.... no hard feelings... lets just be friends, if thats written ! ya thanks for the advice.. ! am sorry if I hurt ya ! ", I cant explain how I felt !!

"sorry from my side too... !! now, friends ! JUST frinds ", I hated when she stressed last two words...

After the formal handshake, she left. Smiling again... The Sun may have left darkness here, but somewhere, some part of this Earth now starts a new, fresh day ! Here, the sun may have gone, but still we get its reflections from the moon !!


I heard another voice !!
"Sir, 40 rupeess billu... !! erd milkshake ge !! ", the waiter !!
As I searched for my wallet, I noticed that she had left out 20 rs on the table... ! she DID mean when she said she dint want to be dependant !!
.
.
.
.
I guess, a girl ultimately looks for a secure future from her guy, that's it.. ! Guys, if you want an angel, your job is to build a heaven for her ! If at all she leaves you, probably she's not your type, or she couldn't trust you for a good future... And you gals, you may have the right to chose your husband... It doesnt mean u can just get committed with random people, then later on break ups and fresh 'new loves' !  Is commitment a joke or what ?? For all, we all have a perfect partner somewhere on this earth... We just need to be patient enough to meet that person !

Here, probably the Sun represents the guy's feelings, milkshakes - the materialistic wealth, which the girl finally says she can manage to handle it, independantly, the girl - well the one special women in our life !!

I see breaking up from a relationship is easier than getting into one ! What's the whole point of the relationship you had if you cannot solve a simple problem ??

Relationships are not complicated, people make it complicated !! That's what I feel !!



(for God's sake, this IS A PURELY IMAGINARY SITUATION, !! not intended to hit on anyone !! if at all it resembles anyone, please forgive me... if I have made a blunder in conveying true meaning -there may be some - plz forgive me....after forgivin me dont forget to comment about this writeup :)



thank you all....


aloki _ keepITsimple !!!

WE dont talk about REVOLUTION fr d sake of talking !!! - part 3...

woke up early in d morning, the next day...
"sikkadna paa nin frndu ?? ", pakkadamane lakshmi aunty keludru...
"sikktaane aunty,,, !! ", wow ! I was never this confident before...

my confidence soon died off !! 

Two days bundh in d city for fuel hike, inflation etc... So couldnt go out anywhere.
Tried few more localites and few old alumni's of my college.. none had any idea about Gopi.. !! He dint have any sort of contacts or talked to much ppl i guessed... but why ??, I dint have answer for that... felt like i was a part of some stupid plot made by some bastard who had no other business.. !! My search was futile.... always...

*next day*

"hoskere police station aa swamy !! ivath strike-u, gothilwa... ?? naav auto noru hodre aa kade namm **** kithagtare ashte !! hogri ree... ! ", auto nonige kelida tappige sikka pratikriye... police station ge hogi avra search elli tanka bandide antha vicharsbekithu...

Took the public transport....
"Hoskere Aarakshaka tHaaNe " ! read out the half worn out board outside the building...

"Search innu naditaa ide sir, elli enu antha patte illa... huduga chikka vayassu, bisi raktha, yaarado maatige bali aagirbahudu antha namma anisike... lavalavike inda koodida huduga, sudden aagi ee thara aadtidda andre yaarig taane ee doubt baralla heLi.. ?? adsari, neevenagbeku ivnige ?? nimgu mosa madidana ?? ", Inspector Ashok Kumar answered my question, followed it with another question !

"Hu saar, 5 laksha !! ", my mind forced my tongue to lie !! It dint want me to get involved in their search !! better to listen to my mind atleast this time, I thought... had to tell another lie for saying one ! signed the complaint letter with other name !!

On the way back called up the radio station ! This s not the maximum limit I can go to search yu buddy, I'll get u soon !!, my heart sent this message to Gopi.. !!

"Hii GM, how are u,, RK here !!  me doing great bud !! its been almost 10 years since I saw u... hope ur listening to this !! wanna badly meet u... have loads to talk... ! searched u in the entire city, couldn't find u... I now live in the same room u stayed 10 years ago !! come and meet me asap ! ",  my voice was in the air for 10 seconds ! hope gopi's radio (if he has any) catches these words !!

"that was soo sweet of u sir, but what's this GM or RK stuff... ?? u not playing with letters right ?? ", RJ pallavi asked me !!

"haha ! It was our way of naming people !! only we both understand this... !! ", I replied
"woooow !! thats pretty interesting !! hope u find luck in your search and find your good ol' friend sir !! have a nice day !!  you are listening to Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM, this s pallavi !! stay tuned while we play this melodious song from the film My Autograph and wishing Mr Raghav in his search for his friend !! ", She cut the call !! Her voice was so sweet that for a second, I forgot gopi !! SHit ! my bachelor life was ending !! :P :D

The next day, the local MLA had arranged for a speech in the area to address the ppl regarding the inflation, inevitable fuel hike and how the opposition were responsible for all the bad things happening in this society, probably including Global warming !!! Arrangements were heavy, so it was pretty much dark before I reached my place. Thought to reach my room before going out for dinner ... !


That evening was kinda darker and cooler than before !  I never expected any thief to break into that room for any valuables, but one of them did ! I noticed that the room door was opened....
I slowly, very slowly, entered the room... after few minutes of silence, switched on the lights... !!

From somewhere, I noticed that cricket ball which came rolling to me... !
Took it and wondered where it came from. I looked at it and.....  I forgot to breathe the next moment when I saw the words !! " RAGHU MISHRA" !! right next to the two words written before !!!

"GOPI !!! ", I looked at him !! MY LAST ATTEMPT WAS SUCCESS ! thanked radio guys a zillion times !! kicked his ass, he kicked back, I shouted at him, he shouted back ! I slapped, he slapped, before we both broke down.... !!
.
.
after the atmosphere soothed down, we sat down together for dinner, which was ordered from a hotel...
I asked all those hundreds of questions for him after dinner. He sat silently and looked grave...
"hello ! u alive mister Gopal or Raghu or whoever u are ??? Y d fuck did u do that ?? secretly change ur name, cheat the people and suddenly go missing... what hapened to u man ?? "....

"Tomorrow, there wont be any speech by that MLA !", he said...
"I dont give it a damn !! ", I dint understand why he took out the subject before hearing his next sentence. I was dumbstruck !!

" I killed him !", was his answer !!

I am not sleeping ! This isn't a dream !! A nightmare, which is happening for real ! What the hell is happening... ??

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS COUNTRY HUH ??? WHO d FUCK says its developing.. ITS A SHIT OUT THERE... !! and.. annd.. TAT MINISTER.... Ruined MY life... am totally a shit now raghu !! AM A BLOODY FUCKED UP SHIT NOW !!! ",  he broke down completely.

 After a few more minutes of silence, I could hear a police jeep from a far distance. I dint let Gopi go out and surrender. I forced him to tell the truth and I would keep him safe from the police...

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

"On the charges of murdering an efficient, kind hearted, people loving minister Mr HK Aacahrya, the cruel, stone hearted criminal Gopal Mishra is sentenced to life. Meanwhile, the doubts are that he might be linked to various terrorist groups and the........ ", read the first few lines of the newspaper on the following day. Obviously, all the news ppl carried the news !!

"BLOODY SHIT ! HE finally surrendered.......", I threw the paper on the floor... !



kuchh kar guzarne ko khoon chala khoon chala
aankhon ke sheeshe mein utarne ko khoon chala
badan se tapak kar, zameen se lipatkar
galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala.... !!
(song from Rang de Basanti )

"The minister WAS a CHEAT !! loafer, useless !! He killed him to let the world know that leaders of that kind have no place to live... !! He started off a spark which I want to be a wildfire !", I said to my journalist friend the very next day. I demanded JUSTICE ! I went to the court to get him bailed out, but of no use... I couldn't find any suitable lawyer in the city... ! I WANTED a CHANGE without which manny others like gopi who dreamed of a career in sports, arts, films can never think of success ! Gopi might be sentenced in a day or two...
.
.
I continued with the jounalist...
"Gopi was an awesome cricketer !! As everyone, he dreamt of representing INDIA very soon...

I finished my twelfth boards and cleared AIEEE and continued my Engineering degree. Gopi signed up for a cricket training school after selling his canteen. Few frnds of him took care of his expenses. Everytin went on well.. He soon became the captain of his team. His coach too said he cud become Indian captain some day!! That year was full of victories for his team !!

The next year, however was not such a successful one ! He was scraped of his captaincy, and later removed from the team... He couldnt bear the failure and soon left cricket to work in a hotel, sunidhi foods and also as a lab assistant in a particular college. But there his life was no good...

His life changed when he met a particular 'social worker' HK Aacahrya, during his campaigning. The minister had a son, Raghav 15 years of age. He, just like gopi, wanted to play cricket... Gopi explained his achievements and told him about his passion, and the problems he is currently facing. Aacharya then gave him work at his own place. Gopi did stuffs like cleaning the vehicles, gardening, sweeping the floor... meanwhile teaching Raghav few techniques in cricket.
Then came a competation. For the selection into the biggest cricket league in the country ! Gopi and Raghav both had to take part.

The day before the selection,
Aacharya: "look Gopi, you have been an excellent helping hand for our family and my election campainging. Ofcourse you have been rewarded fairly from our side. But look, tomorrow as you know, is the selection round for the Indian Cricket League and my son today met with an accident ! You know how much he loved cricket right ? Tomorrow's absence will cost him dearly... So I request you to play his game tomorrow instead of yours... I mean you just change your name to Raghav for a day, thats it ! I will look after that nothing gets leaked out and nothing happens to you... Ofcourse, you will be getting a chance next year in your own sweet name ! Trust me... You might not play as well as Raghu does, but still I know you can beat the others. Raghu is soo depressed that he cant take part this year and he just cannot wait for another year, you know how arrogant he is !
I believe you will be of some help to him atleast in this way right ?.... Trust me, your service will be rewarded and you both will get a chance to be in that league. Just participate tomorrow and win it. I will provide you the best of kits to practice... ". That was it ! Gopi, blindly accepted the offer and played under Raghu's name and won the selection !
Things din't turn out to be good for him later on... Aacharya kicked him out of the job and threatend him to life if the matter was leaked out anywhere !!

Gopi was frustrated, confused ! dissapointment, anger, filled in him !! He still dint give up !

He went back to his old room, stayed there for a week. He contacted his previous coach to help him get loans. He got some 3 lakhs from a realtor, 2 from a builder. He went on, all alone to prepare for the next year selection ! This time much well prepared... !

He almost got selected but for that minister.. He cancelled Gopi's name and put some other boys name in the last minute with his influence and totally destroyed any chances of Gopi getting into the team !

Gopi was totally destroyed and helpless this time !! Loan return could never happen ! ppl would kill him if they realised that he wouldn't participate. He could never think of another selection or any other job ! What else could he do ?? Ran away from his only home....

He met few more people  like him, who were not given a chance to come up... Aacharya was the name which blocked their path towards success...

They all had a common goal, a change in this system.. Yeah ppl wont remember this phrase "vote-for-change" unless they're totally fucked up by the system... Their first step was to clear away all the block in between passion and sucess. Aacharya was the first block.,, !! ", I finished explaining what all Gopi said that evening !!

"Then why did he surrender ?? ", asked the jounalist....

"Aacharya somehow got to know about these guys who had a grudge against him. He soon bought all of them to his side to work as 'party workers' with his money but coudnt buy Gopi. Now Gopi was alone in the battle. Come-what-may, he decided to kill that minister !! He did it,  the day just before the minister had planned a speech in the same field where Gopi and I first met, Royal Grounds field ", !

"Oh ! ",

" This system requires a complete makeover !! ppl who are now relaxed may not realise the importance of that at this moment... I tell them, if so many many people out there are screaming, rallying, campaigning about revolution,  each one of them have a different past which have prompted them to take a bold step towards change.. ! They're not just talking about revolution JUST FOR THE SAKE OF TALKING !!! If you are now happy with YOUR life, then I request you to just spare some time to atlest helping the movements gain number. Numbers are all what this system needs !! I am not asking for a full time commitment, but a bit of encouragement and participation will do a lot of help !! There are still many many gopi's out there... This same case is happening in every field... Cricket, Cinema, Education all of them... !! There are more politics in these than in the actual politics !! Thats the scenario in our country.... !! ".

Thank you, Rahul !

Dear Rahul Dravid (hopefully u read this some day... )

this small li'l boy resting on the small wall who grows up to be the great wall of India... !!

Seriously am not able to get some really good words to start off with... 'thank you', is all what I can think of.. Ya this may be the last time newspapers, tv shows, facebook statuses all remember you (ya my blog included !). At a time when youngsters were having a tough time sealing their place in the team, not having enough time to actually concentrate on the game, your retirement came at a very right time and indeed a right choice. Seniors give way to juniors, is the rule. One senior is busy searching for a triple digit score and the other himself is battling with his poor performance, so it HAD to be you. You had recently had a good time on the field, gave your best for the team (though the others failed to capitalize on dat) finished an ordinary Australian tour, crazy media ppl wanted a senior out of the team, so u did the job yourself... Ofcourse you would have done much more than the others for the team even this year, but the team NEEDED young blood...
The reason y i dint like your decision was these young blood needed a proper experienced mind to help them come up... In the competative situation like the ones juniors in the team are facing, patience is something these guys are to be thought of !! A double century holder cannot be a better teacher in this regard compared to a person who can face 200 balls consistently !

I need not tell I am a BIG fan of yours... I am actually a bigger fan of your attitude, patience and approach than your cricket ! I accept that I really dont know much about your statistics, facts and figures because unlike others, the greatness of yours CAN NEVER be measured in numbers ! your approach, your contribution to your team, your consistency SHOULD not be measured by the number of games you played or the number of runs you made, though those figures are indeed high !
The  13000+ runs in tests, 10000+ runs in ODI's, those three magnificient sixes in the sole T20 international all prove this point. The truely inspiring thing about you is the way you bounced back last year in England or West Indies... making the contest look like England Vs Rahul Dravid !!

The only concern for the country was always, where should the Team India rest upon when the wall falls down ??? MS Dhoni and BCCI have a lot to think about it now ! I always appreciated your attitude. With that anyone can excel in any field for sure !! I need not exaggerate on this point for sure !!

Some memorables you had displayed !
*  The best ever comeback in the history of the game ! You and VVS laxman paired up to add 378 runs for the fifth wicket against Australia !
*  You coming out of Sachin Tendulkar's shadow and establishing yourself as the 'wall' !!
*  The seventh world cup in 1999 in which you ruled !
*  English spinner Samit Patel would be the distinguished bowler whom you hit three consecutive sixes in the only T20 you played !!
*  Though you are known to be defesive player, you have the second fastest fifty for INDIA !!
*  The reebok advertisements which were the first to call you the ' GReAT WALL'


I respect you as a great cricketer, more than that as a gentlemen who really respected his game, more than all of these,, as a great human !!

yours sincerely,
an ordinary Indian fan of yours,
Alok Bharadwaj !!

tale in three parts !! part 2

tried out the telephone directory, 10 Gopals, out of that 3 Gopal Mishra's !! hope gopi will be one of those three...
"Hii gopi, remember me ?? Raghu da.... ", me called one among them....
"Haa.. u bastard, ell tappskond hogidde.. nan dudd vapas kodtyo enu... ??? "...
"oops  !!", wrong number... !!

When the other two also failed, I realised he didnt even have the money to have a telephone connection !! Tried the postman... No use...
Justdial girl didn't even get a single Gopal Mishra name in her directory...

"Uncle, do you have any idea where did this person who stayed in this house next to you shift ? ", I asked one of his neighbours. I had searched for his address with those post cards he sent me.
"Hmmm aa hotel huduga taane... ond varsha aa college lu dudididda nappa lab assistnt aagi, amele adello adyaaranno hudkond hodanappa... vapas barle illa... sumaru 3 varsh agirbodu bittu hogi... amele ondina bandu owner kayge key kottu, innu munde illi iralla sir, antha heli hortnappa... ", Chatterjee uncle replied....
"So he even worked fr my coll as lab assistant, then 3 years back he left this place... then he sent me the letters for almost a year, from a new address", I thought...
"thank you uncle ", I smiled.

"Yes Raghav, he did work with us for an year. At that time he stayed in the house u went before. He left the college almos 3 years ago. He even forgot to take his salary check of the last month ! Came and took it after an year... ! But he dint tell us his place... "
When I went to invite my principal Dr Ravishankar, he told me this...

I went back to the postman and asked about the various contacts gopi had during his stay in the house. He had just a few contacts then.. One among them interested me...

"Mudde Gowda,
 Shree sai krupa associates, property dealor,
 Kengeri, Bangalore ".....
 A realtor as his contact ?? I wondered...

"3 varshada hinde Gopal Mishra annoru yaaru nam hatra bandilwalri...
Elli avra address kodi nodana.. ", gowdru uttarisidru !! Gave him the address..

"Ee addressa !! ondimsha taali... ". Ond nimsha kaade....

"Oho.. !! ade addressu... !!  baddi maga, hesru change madkond bandidno namm hatra...! lofer, elli halag hogtannri, yavathadru sikke sigtaane !! "

Gosh.. !! Y the hell s this guy angry,,, y wud gopi change his name n come to this guy,,, I thought I had come to the wrong address, or got a wrong contact...

"Sorry sir.. adu.. avragiralla... umm,  ello.. ello tapp address ge bandirbeku nanu... ",I was about to leave..
"Ree... Raghav, sunidhi foods alli server aagi kelsa madtiddovn ivne alwenri... ond varsha alle iro college li kelsa maadtidda taane ee lofer... ??  ",

Whaat ! he indeed had dealt with this guy... !! that too with his name changed... THAT TOO HE USED MY NAME... !! Am I searching the right person... my heart was a little bit scared now... 'GULP', made my throat !!

I had to turn back and nod my head...

"Nodri, ee boLi maga nan hatra 3 laksha iskond parari aagidane. Eno dodd deal aagide, ond cricket league li chance sikkide, 10 laksha sigo haagide, mane shooriti ge kodtini, ond 5 laksha kodi antha kelda.. avn jothe avna senior nu karkond bandidda... ella ok aagithu... 3 laksha advance kottidde, 2 laksha bere dina kodtini andidde...
aa match kooda nadililla, nan duddu siglilla... erd sari avn mane nuggi hedrsidde... moorne sala hodre mane khaali... !! naav ellig hogona swamy .. ??? entha kal nan maklu huttidarappa nam deshdalli... !! sigli kayyge, boli maga.... !! Police navra kann tapsi escape aagidanalri.... !!  ".

did my heart just stop beating !!! who the hell am I searching here... ? Mr Gopal Mishra, whom I knew... or this screwed up ass Raghu Kashyap ?? Apparently, both are only one person !! shit !! En madirbod ivnu...ell irbodu... ?? How the hell did he change so much.... !!
Had lots more doubts in my head...


my mind is trying to convince me: Raghav !! shut up n leave this place right now... I sense something strange and fishy going on.. U better not involve yourself in this... U have other commitments, remember them... Searching a long lost friend, who has probably screwed up his life by now, cheated this person big time, and 'mysteriously' missing with a police warrant running behind him is clearly not a good idea... LEAVE THE PLACE AT ONCE...

my heart is begging me to stay: Raghu, think about the last day u met gopi... ten years ago, that evening...
.
.
. (in sepia mode )

"Raghu, so u sure u'l join the army ?? "
"Nt sure kano... though am much intrested to join.. !! If I cant, will be some screwed up techie for sure... ! Le, elli idru ninna thumbaa miss madkotino... nin jothe open aagi matadid bittre, inyaar jothenu asht open aagi matadilla... nin kithod joke galanna innu hego kelodu... ?? "
"me too le... nam joke galu, naav matadtiddiddu namge mathra artha agtithu alwa !! dat was d best part !! nam nam code language li hudgirge hesridodu, aa hudgir munde ne aa code language alli avlna propose maado hage !! :) miss those days yaar.... ", my eyes were almos in tears...
"hu.. ka.. kano... sig.. sigtiro avagavaga... kaldog... beda... ! ", i couldn't control then.... 10 years of frndship,,,, now we're gonna get separated... !!

"maga... itko idanna... nanna lucky cricket ball idu... played that last match with the same ball !! as a token of remembrance.. !! "...
"sure gopi... u take here... my parker !! wrote ma finals with that pen !! "... handed over to him a jet black parker... !

I wrote 'Gopi Kashyap' on that ball with the parker.... We had an agreement that day, the next time we meet, we would write 'Raghu Mishra' right next to it !! Eradu deha, onde manassu anno haage.. !!
.
.
.


(back to normal mode)

That's it !
I took out that ball. The space next to "Gopi Kashyap" looked pretty much empty... I will stay here !! I decided then... ! I was more than determined to fill up that space... I had to look out for a friend who s currently screwed up... solve his problems, come what may, and provide a better future !! yeah, I WILL FIND HIM FOR SURE !!

His old home was empty. None had come to occupy that room. I chose to stay there for the week till I find him... !!

tale in three parts !! part 1

":)",
 I smiled as I saw the children playing cricket on the Royal Grounds Field.. The place where we both first met, played our first cricket, fell off the cycle for the first time, fought for the first time and saw each other for the last time....

'We' - I, Raghav, and my dearest friend Gopal. The first time we met was when that idiot had got a sandals to play football and ultimately broke his toenail ! I was playing with him, but didnt knew him so closely, took out my one-time-used handkerchief, cleaned his toe with water and wrapped it around the wounded toe. Well, that was how I first met him at the grounds, ten years ago !

I - Raghav Kashyap, so-called-software engineer, Calsoft technologies.
He - Gopal Mishra, really donno what's he rite now !

(Ten years ago....)


"macha, II PU boards in less than 12 hours ! One can find me at this Royal Grounds field playing soccer ! Eno madodu... ??? ", I asked...
"Dialogue bidole... innu 10.30... Haven't yo read it a zillion times before ??? ", Gopi.
"Aadru boards kano... Hogona vapas... And u have your cricket competation in 3 days right ? "
"Ya, versus JP nagar sports academy, first round... We practiced quite well. Me as a captain have told ma boys not to get tensed before the match, might take rest for a day tomoro.. "
Gopal was awesome cricketer, the game was his passion !! Left studies at 10th.... He had no parents. My mom and dad looked after him for a few days. The bastard wanted to be 'independant' ! So we set up a small canteen near my college for him and also made arrangements for his house. He was an awesome cook too !!

My last exam, Mathematics, and his final match fell on the same day !!

lady luck was on our side... !! I did pretty well, and he won ! He was declared man of tournament !!

after wasting few more months,
"Macha !! guess... got through AIEEE !! Will complete a BE degree and join the Army for sure... ! "
"Devru bidappa... :P he he congo dude !! yeah, u've been telling that for the last 2 years... you'll do that for sure... And I sold my canteen and with the money I got, joined the National Cricketing Academy ! Got few helping hands who'll take care of my expenses for the next two years, for the services I provide them !! "
"wooha ! SO, here are two students going after their passion towards SUCCESS !! All the best dude.... "
We gave Ass-kick to each other, our way of saying "cyo soon buddy,,, have fun " !

Yap, that was the last tym we saw... Dont want to explain the moment too much...., too emotional !
.
.
.
Now, I stand in the same place where we departed. Donno how but he just... seemed disappeared...
Came back during my first year holidays. He was out on some tournament. But had left out a letter. From then on, we conversed through just words.. but for last 2 years... he even stopped writing. His address had been shifted. Just donno where he is, what is he doing or anythin... And am here to find out just that ! Find his correct address and hand out my, wedding invitation.. !!


..to be continued !!

Will we ever wake up !!

"REVOLUTION S HERE !!!! "

.
.
"VOTE FOR CHANGE........ !!! "

"YESSSS WE TOO CAN !! "
.
.
.
.
.




Over excited about the protest, I asked: "papa, y is everyone in need of change... ? everythin s goin on well rite... I mean, I've heard ppl speakin our country is poor, corrupt, crime-ridden but at the same time one says our nation s developing, big industries r being set up, and India recently won the WORLD CUP !!. India is doing good right.. ?? Is my country that bad... ?? "

papa didn't speak a word...

Just then, a guy walks up and tells me: "look, I had to travel for  months to get this shit license done ! I have cleared my tests, even then ppl ask money without which they cant issue me my license.... !! why should I pay for what I deserve ?? fair huh ?? "....

"look !! machines are driven by fuel.. these kaamchors are driven by money !!", another guy stepped up to me...

"kiddo... do you kno d pain of losing an engineering seat to someone who s totally nt worth it ??? ", another guy yelling against reservation system.....


"will you get approval for my pension, beta ? I couldn't do it for past one year !! ", a poor old soul smiled at me after saying this... I wondered whether I spoke so loudly that everyone could hear me...

"India might have won world cup for cricket man... Am a damn hockey player !! ... where does hockey stand now in our country... too bad we're in a state that we have to prove ourselves worthy of participating in the olympics, where once Indian team was a champion !! ", a depressed hockey fello hit me lightly with his bat !!

"behind every new building which arises, lies thousands of  packets filled with currency notes with gandhiji smiling !! ",  a realtor explains....


After hearing these lines, I asked again, "papa, till when will this kind of anger, frustration be with them ?? ", probably my voice was loud even now, the same people started to stare at me now !!.
.. oops !!

I didn't stop..... "papa, if I go and join this march, will it gain special importance ?? will the country change... ?? Well, naturally, voice of one will be negligible... Should I join this protest which may soon die out ?? what change can 'one' do to dis country... ? ".. I was even louder this time, most of them heard me... I wondered what would these ppl do to me... !
.
.
.

Well, nothing actually happened to me (physically) that day, twenty years ago... No one harmed me... But the day is of special importance to me and to this society... My father, who was silent all this time, had replied. His reply made it special... !

"what did he reply papa ?? ", my daughter of five asked  me !!
.
.
.
"Son,  I know you r a bit confused of whats happening to the country now. Ya, the frustration, anger, excitement of these people are momentary... It was buried deep inside them for years, and as a great man has started a movement, people now dare to bring it out. The people, me included, fear to come out to start a revolution or revive a dead one... Someone has to start or resume this play...

And for your next question... Correct, your participation will NOT change the fate of our country. One single voice will be negligible among thousands of other voices... Let me tell you, when your voice joins those thousand voices, the total energy will be amplified ! The amplified energy hits you and at the end of the day, you will be a changed person !! One person changes, its enough... He will surely change ten more... Participate and see the change in yourselves !! It has changed many people now and have volunteered to keep up the tempo going on !!
Go !! lite a fire which and spread it to each one of them... ! 'one' ordinary person with extraordinary ambition will change the destiny !! Gandhiji, Netaji, Nehruji and now Anna Hazare were all once a simple kid like you... !! "
.
.
.
"The protest lasted 2 days i suppose, but the feeling is still vibrating in us even after 20 years... "

"papa... when will another such movement start ??? "... she was verry excited !!

I couldn't answer... I could see the sparkle in her eyes...  I smiled. She smiled back and asked again...


"Now ! If people wants it.... " She didn't expect it to start so soon !! her expression made me think so !! 

"Good night !! Sweet dreams dad !! "

The girl sleeps now... I believe its time we people woke up !!! JAI HIND !!

Welcome to A.V garage of Automotive engineering.
Here the bikes and cars are the beloved students. They are trained to cruise through the highway, drive through the traffic, overtake other vehicles, jumping the signal etc...

These vehicles can actually talk !! They not just talk, they laugh, cry, get angry and some do 'love'... !!
Yap, these emotions, sentiments are not only with the humans.... Jagadish Chandra Bose had proved that plants can show emotions, but little did anyone know that even vehicles could talk !!

The world's gonna end this year !!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! WELCOME 2012 WID A :) !!

Happy 2012 !! Had a nice start to the year, hopefully it continues...

The buzz is, world's gonna end this year. wow !
Somewhat, even am starting to believe it does. Ok, here's my theory...

Its 20th december 2012. No sign of any asteroids falling to earth. No global warming issue. No Al-quaida threat, no Astronomical displacements of stars and galaxies. Yet, the fear prevails.
Day before thought-to-be-doomsday, what might happen ??
number of fb users reach 700bn, EVERYONE starts commenting what might happen....
"huge crack in front of ma house... DOOMSDAY HERE !! OMG SAVE ME !!", guy puts..
"volcano predicted to erupt near my house 2mrw !! OMG ?? where's rajnikanth !!!! ", another..
"lost my brand new GALAXY S2 :( :( yip doomsday here fa me", someone puts...
"chill out guys, !!", papa yaro haktare... :'(
throughout the world facebook is filled with comments, posts, updates... EVERYONE just EVERYONE on facebook...!!

21-12-2012 !!

All eyes on NDTV, all hands on computer, typing new status, commenting...
SUDDENLY, chaos, shouts, angry spells, everywhere.. !! PPL SHOCKED !!
yes, facebook has CRASHED !! someone said fb will NEVER crash, but IT DID CRASH... ! :O
what happened ?? is it some hackers group, did Al-quaida destroy every server which hosted facebook, maybe Kapil sibal ???

Mark-zuckerberg is under house arrest, FB sux !! shouts everywhere... No repair even after an hour...

some news channel reported, the process can take an entire day or worst a week as the problem is yet to be traced... ONE WHOLE WEEK without facebook !! YES THAT IS THE END OF THE WORLD... !! THE END OF THE 'VIRTUAL WORLD !!!'... no asteroid crash, no volcano eruption... ITS FACEBOOK....

But, everything happens for the good...
In those 7 days, ppl start looking at the 'world'  outside facebook... they actually speak to ppl, spend time with family, friends, colleagues... They'll come to know about the 'world' which existed from a long time, yet went unnoticed...

The new world is "google+" !!!

yaar ene helali, eshte badkolli, nammoru computer bittu aache hogalla !! bedroom ge hegana bandru, internet alle donne hudkodu..... :P lifeu ............. !!

Janavari maasada 5 ne dina vaada indu, blog prapanchakke ambe gaalannu iduttidene... devara aane gu, i never thought i wud create my own place in the infinite space of the internet !! Before i go write any bullshit in this blog, I wanna thank Deepak Kashyap, ma dear cousin bro and a techie, and Suhas Krishnamurthy. Deepu inda nanna mukha vannu blog prapanchakke tirugiside... Suhas bardiro blog actually illi ge eledu kond bandithu.. !! Unfortunately Suhas is no more with me, his blogs I read only after he passed away. I missed a person who would have become a great part of my life...

Ofcourse my sweet hug to my mom (this is nt just a formality), dad, sis ( she pesters me to write a blog on how good she is !! ) and to everyone I know !!

I donno how many understood y i put my url as "soojiTappidaDaara.blogspot.com"...
sooji tappida daara ( thread missed the needle ).
Many times, i try so hard, concentrate so much, to do something, but a minute mistake at the 'end' spoils everything, and u get totally bugged trying !!! Its a common situation when u try to pass the thread through the needle, u curse the gods out at the end !! ;) aa expression na mooru padadalli tarona antha haage hesaritte !! exam alli 34 bandre hegiruthe ???!!

Alok Bharadwaja..... keep :)-ing !!
