BACK TO RAIN

Amigos,

I am back after a long time, with the same thought inspiring me again to write. Monsoon is back. Paddy still in US for a cause he has chosen. Clock shows 12:14 am and Navin sleeping next to me.

I am enjoying my longest vacation in a professional life. By the way, me left the job and got some time to take your attention through my script. I don’t know whether to say this as a piece of blog because I feel, "blog is a posting usually in chronological order". But the chronology is invisible. I will say it as a script for the time being.
Updates: Things have changed so much in a year that I feel happy-sad (50-50 or u can say 20-20 happy and sad) about it. As profession is demanding, people with me all these years, showing a need for more space in their personal lives, which is correct and the feeling was inevitable. We people were together from past seven years. I, Navin, Pawan, Sunil, Paddy and Ritesh though not physically but were mentally. Anyhow life happens to be fine after all hicks and bumps.
Recent Incident: Last week, for a chill in the echoing heat of summer I asked Navin to accompany me for Mumbai at Ritesh’s place (though it is humid place but Mumbai is Mumbai). With couple of glass of bear and some good music at cafe MONDEGAR at the very night we reached Mumbai. Kolaba is a real happening place where you can enjoy an excellent night life. After Mondegar we headed for Bade Miyas (very old and famous joint for their non vegetarian foods). Whole of Muhammad Ali Road was awesome at night. These were few, Ritesh loose no time to make it happening weekend for us. Ritesh continues with his apetite. He can gulp anything, believe me, anything. I thought he might have loose his weight but things were opposite. Next day we went to see TRANSPORTER, the movie at INOX Dome Theater. All I found as a change for three of us.

As I am on one month vacation I going through a lot of stuffs that I missed all these years. Doing everything I like. Something inside me still thinking that I was not completely getting fulfilled for the year. You must be asking yourself what I actually need to say. May be it complex to understand but I was waiting for the rain. And friends I got the rain today June 3, 2008. For this I have had a wait for a year and it is back again. With the first shower I found myself with the nature. I forgot everything and went out to see the droplets. They were wonderful, like Mother Nature doing some processing of thoughts. I made myself wet to my contentment.
I can see the sahayadris again filled with shower and they are on the verge of changing their color from brown to green. People got their piece again.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the RAIN.

Just an Update

Paddy is in US now. Everyone else is back in home. We miss his fake laugh which he can place at any time. I wish he can continue it in this life and next all those lives he will have in his journey for incarnation. These days Pawan too staying with us, so it is good. I can clearly see everyone is feeling bore. Sunil no more interacts much with us. May be he is feeling alone after paddy has left us. Deep love for a friend. Might be, he is the one missing him most. So these days I Naveen, Jalaj and Pawan are communicating most with each other. The days are going very well. We are going for shopping and Movies on every weekend. Today it is Saturday again but it has started very lazy. Sunil is out with some important work and Pawan remains very much busy with his corporate meeting and training plans on weekends. Anyway we have lost many hours today which may have been used to roam around. There are no good movies left to see. So I planned to post a Blog.
Rainy season has offered me some good time. I am really not feeling bad. Rain has stopped but it is cloudy everywhere. Amol (a friend from office) may be busy with Matilde (Sorry Amol if I am not spelling it correctly). But he is having a good time with his friend from France. Yesterday I thought to accompany him but I was short with time and there were other things to do.These days my desire to see the Himalayas has increased like anything. I am dying to see the snow clad mountains. But again I am very much sort with time. Adding to this I haven't visited to my relative’s place from past three years I am dying to see them too.Rainy season was always my favorite. It gave me a new start always in a new dimension of life.
I appreciate this gift of nature offered to human kind.

The Virtual Poverty

From very childhood, the day a little bit of consciousness came around me, I am curious about something or the other. My inner feeling is always thinking and tempting with desire to acquire things which can dwindle the eyes. Each time I acquire something, feeling of hidden loss become prominent inside. More I fulfill my desire, more I loose myself. I wonder over the fact that, whether I am born for fulfilling my own desire or what? My every desire started sounding very Hippocratic to my inner self. We have happiness lying everywhere but the irony of the fact is the difficulty to acquire those small happiness. You might be thinking what the hell Virtual Poverty is? So here is it. It is what we are facing a lack of. It is the phenomenon which tells our innermost feeling that we can feel certain things but couldn’t express, due to lack of Literature. This phenomenon affects many things which we cannot correlate but they exist. The only thing which can get us rid out of this Virtual Poverty is the immense knowledge. Knowledge is the last resort which can let us find the peace we need. Knowledge is the eye which can make us see the eternal happiness we need.

The point I want to raise is try to be Happy, don't avoid knowledge when we have a god gifted brain with us. And get rid of the VIRTUAL POVERTY.

Pune Rains

Readers please pardon me for my writing mistakes. With a great desire of expressing my thougts, which is basic human desire too, I am in front of you. I hope my blogging skill will improve with time with your kind suggestions. Any suggestion is accepted.

As woke up today, I saw the papers lying in sixes and sevens on the bed. The very basic human tendency is curiousity that affected me too, as I felt I was still human after my dreams last night. I saw Naveen(my friend from last six years) scratching his head like an ape. The reason was an offer letter from a reputated company for which he needed to revert back. We saw each other in wake up condition first time in the whole week. So it feels good when you see your friend alive in the morribund city life.

The first feeling I got with the start of Saturday was the happiness. I eagerly waited for weekends and happiness which both have their special place today in my life like every other. Never thought of this when I was staying back with my parents. After the daily protocols I felt something beautiful going around. Yes!!! Today I woke up early, the second fulfilling desire.

So came the rain.

"Happiness on weekend with rains in Pune". This was the thought which came to my mind. Pune rains may be disturbing to some but personally I feel this is the best time to enjoy the place. I waited eagerly for this time. I struggled hard to take in the clothes which were outside to make them dry in sunlight( but there was all cloudy). The very beautiful scenary of hills, clad with clouds and the "Sinhgad pahadiya" ; came to my vision when I reached my balcony. Without resisting my temptations more, I took Pads (Padmrag, one friend from last seven years) with me and went for Pune Satara Highway. The mother nature was in her real beauty. We stopped at a place in Baner (an area which is developing rapidly as commercial and residential). This was the place where you can feel how much Pune has streched in all these years. At one side I got the sight of the whole city and on another there was all sahyadri, just started getting green after the fall. So to enjoy the natur's beauty, we went to hotel Samudra, a cozy resturant near Hinjewadi. Pawan (another friend used to stay with us till last year; knew him from the time I know Naveen) joined us soon. With some nice exchange of thoughts and cherishing some old memories we took one drink each (hala ki pawan ne drink nahi kiya). The vodka made us to see the nature more clearly. Drinking and Driving while you are feeling happy while it is rain in Pune is also punishable affair, still we took the challenge. All this was to please our wild desires to enjoy the natural beauty of Pune. One MAMU, suddenly located us as we were on the signal. We were having a wrong passing number in the bike so we took a descision. Like stereo type hindi movies we ran our bike on the wrong side of the road. Soon saw many Mamus howling towards us. But "ummmmm........Don ko pakadna muskil hi nahi namumkin bhi hai". Some how we managed to run away. At that time the very feeling inside me was fear.
So Feeling happy at start when it is raining in Pune turned to fear. Soon my eyes stopped looking at the very mother nature's beauty. My objective was to return home intact with my bike became more dominant. The time was evening when I reached home. The sky was dark now. The world in which I was living was suddenly gone but still was in the memory . I was happy with the Rain in the Pune again this year. And the year is 2007.

Even if fear went away with time but I saw a good things today. That is Pune Rains. I enjoyed it very much.
