missed french classes today :(
feeling awful..
wat better excuse than a fevered brain !!
and wat better than a 'fevered brain' as the weakest link for random thoughts :D !!!!
1. why offices/workplaces are associated with cluttered politics and foul play ??
my workplace was a raucous of reproachful activity after we had a meeting over the release of resources from the current project..our first project (which is supposed to be like a back-to-school experience, in terms of learning :D) with the org has got delayed a lot to everyones' dismay..so quite understandable that everyone wants to break free :)
and thats why everyone has started pulling others' legs and shrugging off responsibilities..
some poor souls get into a lot of trouble cos of this (not me yaar..im not itna sajjan :D)..
and it disturbs me..as an overall effect this pollutes the work culture and healthy environment we strive to cultivate..
not something that cant be improved..definitely..
im goin to drop 'get well soon' cards at everyones' desks now :) ob, including mine..itni dumb nahi hoon :D
2. Why marriages are so difficult to arrange ??
from the union of two souls, families, societies, cultures to cause of headaches and heart-burns :-| I am getting to see these things in every light..i like knowing it all but seeing some dear ones suffer is a bit disturbing..
there s a saying in hindi, 'Shaadi ka laddoo, jo khaye wo pachtaye, jo na khaye wo bhi pachtaye' !!
meaning 'the pie of marriage, one who eats also regrets, one who does not as well'
they never thought about poor souls like me, who would shiver at such creepy thought..i mean i love laddoo (specially motichoor ..yum !!! :D) / pie..and these people dare put me in such dilemma or wat they call a dharmasankat..
ahem..i say why dont we change the laddoo to jalebi or the pie to a cookie..something i prefer less..so i wont bother much wat im having :) :)
better still laddoo to kajukatli or pie to black forest pastry which i love..so that i eat it without any thought (negative at least) :D
see i have such simple solutions to problems..consultancy khol hi deti hoon :D
3. why mushy movies still move me and not the daily offerings of the newspaper ??
i saw 'u,me aur hum' the other day..i know boring movie..but still it touched me..not my fault..'it' touched me :D
i wonder why not the daily stories of the newspaper (murders,rapes,gang wars,etc etc)
move me ? may be its the simplicity of Love which attracts me compared to cruelty or wickedness of murders :-|
or may be i believe that good balances the bad, hence i conveniently ignore the bad, thinking goodness will find its way :-|
hmmm.....
4. why some people are loud on the phone ??
i was quietly drafting this blog on my bus travel back to home, when
kirrrrrr.......irrrr......kaboom........
this lady was chattering in her cell like crazy ..'yes, we have these CRs to take care of..why dont u guys..achhha , so how s he now ....blah..blah..'
i mean, lady cant u see, ur polluting the whole janta's shaanti bhari sleep by uttering words like CR and office in the bus ??? and most importantly ur voice intruded my string of thoughts..
>.< >.< (thats how i look when i m angry :D)
i judge her position..right behind me, a slight diagonally seated.. i take my time and turn........ to give a sweet and coy smile instead of 'one-of-those-famous-cold-stares-of-mine' :-| the lady turned out to be one of my project track leads..and miss righteous was talking about uncluttered workplace and all... but hope u know how it is :) karna padta hai yaar ....
5. why is pune so hot ??
i went out of the AC office, in the sun for 10 minutes and had a sunstroke..bad headache and stuff..
and hopefully u know, the consequence..this post :D
now if u want me to be fine, pray for me, cos i cant miss french classes everyday !! :)
bonjour !!!!

on the personal front
finished reading 2 wonderful books.
1. eagle in the sky - wilbur smith
2. to kill a mockingbird - harper lee
first for the unconditional and deepest of love between David and Debra.
later for its simplicity and native language..now i know why simple books get all the awards and accolades..cos its the most difficult thing to do in the world..to keep it simple :)
these are timeless books..dont need my reviews..but recommended strongly :)
beautiful reads..lay ur hands on em if u can :)

of rikshaws and rikshwa-walas :)
i was super duper late for work today..
twas 12 pm and i had still not seen the light (office ka i mean :D), but not my fault, train got delayed and the whole brouhaha on my part :)
anyways coming back, laziness was at its bestest and i decided to go to office by a Rikshaw (my office is 17 kms away from my house) So yes, u heard it right, i took the brave decision of staking my 200 - 300 INR and dear life for the sheer laziness.. shamefulllll !!
the scene..
cut to cut..
i approach the rikshaw-wala uncle with a worried expression..
the foreplay part u know..u got to emotionally blackmail them, if its a long distance :D
i tell him the address, flat NO ..
expected..
take my chance with another uncle, this time, i overact and have almost lost it, when i see a flicker of smile from his side..
now with baited breath i prepare myself for the next battle..
the charges !
very coolly he says 120 Rs. mam.. im like wat ???? (need an ear check up soon :D) say it again ???
he says 120 Rs mam.. my happiness shows no bounds (they cost u 1.5 times the meter reading - 250 (whichever s greater) at least and this guy here was asking for the right amount, wont u be euphoric ?)
i hop into the vehicle and the safar is on !! :)
surely got me thinking.. wat could be the reason behind his act of GOoDness ???
1. may be he lived near my office (that area happens to be an industrial one..so overruled :D)
2. may be he had some errand to run in that area (hmm..quite possible)
3. may be he was plain ignorant about the charging policies of the rikshaw-wala community .. possible.. but since this makes me look bad in my fans' eyes, as i was using his ignorance, i overrule it :D
yes, shamelessly, cos many of my fellow ignorant rikshaw travelers have been conned by his very community :)
4. may be he had a girl friend there (ahem !!) now this is something i like about my skewed mind. its totally uncorrupted and thinks straight :D
so argument no. 4 wins hands down .. no doubts about that..
watever might be the poor things' motive behind that fair charge, i had a great day cos i got to be the talk of the cubicle.. he gave us all food for gossip :P
anyways, dear rikshaw travelers, there comes a day, when u meet a GOD in the rikshaw-wala and he charges u the fair amount, so never ever give up the hope for goodness !!
its still there :)
P.S. i still love my skewed mind :D

river wild !
I am not one of those 'travelogue' persons..i kinda like to live in the moment, when i m outdoors i.e. and feel it the best way i can..but i want all of u to try this, hence this attempt :)
(hope it inspires some of you !!)
I went 'white water rafting' today !!!! yipppeeee !!!
yeah i know it was on my list of fun things to do..and believe me it was much more than that! :)
{ i dont know how exactly u write these things, but m going to be random..like the rapids we faced today :D }
me with a group of friends decided to go for white water rafting at Kundalika River.. yeah i know rafting in this season and that too in the dry region like maharashtra !! but the place where we went is pretty interesting ! The river is fed by excess water from Tata's dams, mulshi and bhira project..the dam gates open early in the morning..the gushes form an ideal rafting route for beginners (class 2 - 4, just to give some jargon :D)
these facts and figures apart, the itinerary started on a pretty bad note..we were supposed to reach the starting point at 7.30am as the water ie released during that time..but r driver decided to make a fool of us (otherwise he was a decent fellow :)) and dint fill up diesel the earlier night and told bout tis crucial strategically important (!!!) fact when we were almost outta the city :x
patiently played the wait game till 7 am as petrol stations out of the city start selling petrol at 7 !!
after the bad start, it had to be a roller coaster ride to make it just in time..
being eons late to reach the starting point (1.5 hrs at least) somewhat heartbroken we carried on.. to r surprise, the dam people had opened 2 gates and that too an hour late than usual !!
yipppeeee... (TATA ke ghar der hai par andher nahi !!)
we were provided with the full rafting gear :) then followed a brief training session on rafting and pedaling basics,calls for drastic measures :D etc..the trainers were really interesting, experienced rafters, who have done rafting in major rivers across India..to top it with some strawberries, our team was really cool; addu,sunny,me,lee and vasu :) our trainer (yes, there's one trainer in every raft) was a bit strict guy, who insisted more on technique (which was best for beginners like us) which slightly reduced the fun quotient ! (i have realized lately, that, fun quotient depends on a lot many things, one being the company ur with :D)
Mann, the real fun started when we entered the waters..r entry into the first rapid was like a newly wed girl, all hesitant and scared..but it was no looking back once we got all enthu and all drenched :D
the maneuvering needed to steer the raft was a bit professional for amateurs like us (the rowing experience back during college days indeed helped !!!) so we left it for the trainer :D
the rapids that followed were damn sport ! they needed sufficient skill but r trainer saved the day and we just sailed under his guidance :)
the rapids had interesting names too :D like morning headache, jhatka (means a jerk !), ratrani (its a flower), bloody ****er (whoa !!!) etc.
in a particular rapid the raft s supposed to flip, but thanks (or no thanks) to almighty, we had hefty company in r raft and hence saved the trainers lot of energies (in saving us i say :P)
but the over enthu us wanted to try that out too, so came back to the same rapid thrice (yes u can do that but, of course, with a lot of effort as u have to peddle against the flow) and when we finally succeeded, the raft dint flip but 3 members just fell out (the weight quotient :D again) It was a sight, on the trainers face i mean! the 3 who fell must have had the time of their lives (i dint fall cos i had held the rope too tight..sigh..)
there was one stretch of continuous rapids for 20 mins which was thoda tiring, but after that the river kinda slowed down and we were left with swimming ka option..
this was again a wonderful experience (especially for people like us who have never swam beyond a square box of 50*5)
we swam. we peddled. we floated. we played silly pranks too.. tell u life was never so relaxed and satisfied !
it dint end there..we had to peddle almost 2 kms to reach steady banks and come back to the starting point (by vehicles of course !)
me says, everyone should try this as its not very risky and not very tiring! moreover its something totally different and new..
im planning to go again in monsoons, for the current then will be more exciting!
well, all said and done, it was a completely 'river wild' experience..had never been so close to the nature (rivers i mean !)
feels just incredible !
btw my next destination should be the 'ganges', wot say ??? ;)
P.S. u can find out more about the site here :).

1. try various adventure sports.. first in line s 'white water rafting'
(if i come back alive, i want to try bungee-jumping next..rest can wait for their turn :P)
2. cook weird dishes (obviously when no one's around..i cant risk others lives, of course :D)
3. write poetry (heehuuhaaaa..obviously again it wont be published :P for reasons unknown..i have always thought there s this tender side of me, who can appreciate the nuances of life and give them words..i hope to fail myself :D)
4. learn kick boxing (the urge to kick people has been overwhelming lately :D)
5. write blogs in French :D (i appreciate ur concerns, but most of my fan club s hindi speaking, so wont give a damn bout the topics..though i will write on various grave issues the world's facing ranging from why cow milk s better for health, why saarukh bought a cricket club, why sarkozy is the way he is (French articles ought to have some related stuff :P) and all that..real serious issues u know.. :D)
6. learn bhangra :D
7. make collages (come on now..this is going to be fun..i am halfway through the first one!! :))
ahem (again).. these things will last for a long time me thinks..
till then..get weirder..
and if u have anything in mind, then u know how to get in touch with me or better else, just involve me in the fun activity...
P.S. my fun quotient follows a sinusoidal curve :D

we don need no education !!!!
some 20 years ago, in a remote village in India, a girl gets married at the age of 14..
she becomes mother of a child at the age of 16..
her husband dies in an accident when she s 18..
she s given the horrible treatment of a 'vidhawa' (widow) for the rest of her life..
appalling !! her life turns haywire in a matter of 4 years..
the tale becomes even more appalling when life comes a full circle..
after 14 years ....
her daughter gets married at the kacchha age of 16 (this must have been sometime in 1998)..
she s declared infertile after being not able to produce a child for 2 years..
her husband willingly (will of 'his' family i mean :-\) marries another girl who produces two kids in a span of 2 years and now his first wife takes care of all of them and they live together..
JUST PLAIN APPALLING !!!
a woman was not allowed to remarry when her entire life lay ahead of her and another's husband remarried just because she could not grow the family tree ahead .....
(other people were taking decisions for them and i felt like shouting at the top of my voice, 'wake up !!!!')
then a whirlwind of thought attacked my mind..
when are we going to treat people as 'individuals' and not some typecasted non sense 'male' or 'female' , 'aadmi' or 'aurat' per say??
Just because someone's 'gender' is masculine guarantees him unlimited freedom and bending of rules ??? and someone is feminine guarantees her a life full of sacrifices and commitments ???
i feel so sad for the mother, who even after facing a life full of 'not-by-her-own-wish' sacrifices, did not care enough to get her daughter married at such tender age ..
and then another thought came in my mind, that may be, when her husband died (and the times she was in..) the decision of staying with the family and being labeled as a 'vidhawa' must have been a safer option..and to get her daughter married at 16 by a family who looked after her orphan (not having a father is enough to term one as 'orphan' i guess ..) daughter must have been another safer option..
but when i think of her daughter, in the so called 'modern times' i feel utterly terrible !!
how helpless can one become ?? she let others take her own decisions which in these modern times is totally ridiculous..my other mind (i tell u its very soft :-/) said that dear not every woman is privileged enough to be on her own.. Indian women have to think of the society and family first before thinking of oneself !! this was again correct..
the 'educated' me thought the educated way.. may be education would have helped her case..helped her take just (or better !!@@) decisions !
and then i thought, i dont need a trip to Afghanistan to get to know the condition of women !
(after reading 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' i was moved beyond words !!)
its the same every where.. sigh ....
this is because, we dont motivate ourselves to take decisions for ourself.. we consider and reconsider people rather than thinking about what we want.. believe me the complications and dimensions of a problem become manageable when one really gives a thought to what one wants .. i really mean it..
P.S. on a broader perspective my observations can be generalized .. guys r u listening ?? :)

lovey dovey tales ...
how many of us believed (and still believe :D) that there is someone somewhere made for us..the perfect one..the only one!!!
well, i believe...
just that the definitions have been changing over the times and the 'someone' has become a remote impossibility now, cos of his (my 'inclination' proves many things!) dynamic nature ! :D
in my early teens i hopelessly used to believe that a knight will come , riding on a white horse and sweep me off my feet!! i wont have any option but to fly away with him..in the clouds..
sigh..some animal rights activists rushed in..confiscated the horse and the rider too !!! and my dreams were shattered...
then SRK came into my life..roaming in the alps, crooning love ballads, with a damsel clad in chiffon sarees swooning in one hand (she kept on changing though :-\) and stars in eyes..that was perfect romance for me..used to go weak in the knees :) at times i still do :D
but that was lala land..sigh again..when i landed on earth, there were no alps around, no muzik and above all no SRK !!! wat the **** (hell :D) i never knew i had such good imagination :D sigh.. sigh.. sigh..
twas time that i came off age and started respecting the real, actual living beings around me..and not some stupid fool who dint even know wat he was doing right at the top of the mountains in the damning cold, with a female clad in bare minimums :D
hmmm...reflecting now me thinks, not dreaming and BEING in the real world is a bit problematic..cos u dont know of the many dimensions and complexities of human nature! on the other hand, dreams and hindi films r so simple !
take 1 : boy meets girl, after some hiccups girl agrees, then a stupid fight against society and finally everyone unites and happily ever after
take 2 : c wat happens in fairytales..shrek rescues the princess..she falls in love with him and after fighting some really funny malefactors, its happily ever after again..
hmmm (again!)i suddenly realize that many of my fans(!) who r reading this, might think that nightflier's had a heartbreak or she s lost hope !
no madames and sir(s) of course :D, neither m i heartbroken nor have i lost hope..i write these incoherent thoughts as i find people around struggling and desperately trying to find out the right one for themselves!
mind u 90% of the people my age want to get settled in life and the search for the right one has taken its toll !!this fact comes from the observation that, people already in relationships want to get settled and lukkhas (like me :), me not included though) r seraching!
the ones who want to settle down have got bigger problems on their mind..where,why and most importantly how ??? the lukkha gang is working on trial and error..
i really dont know how do u know, when u know, that this is it !! is it the same feeling u get, when ur searching for pink pyjamas and right there in the corner of the shop, lying below heaps of other assorted stuff, u find it ! or is it something you feel when u r seeing off a long acquainted friend and sense a void forming inside u..guess its a feeling which is something very ordinary but inexplicable!
people around r going through a lot of chaos..2 years back the same lot were giving engineering exams (yeah..others too :)) and struggling through them..gosh !!! hope they then knew that this is just a stroll in the park :)
i hopelessly wish that everyone finds what they have been searching for !! after all coming back to my point, someone somewhere is made for u ! :) (not sure if my wishes work, but then somewhere i must be some god's favorite blogger !)
in the mean time ll get back to SRK and the swooning ladies and hopelessly wish for someone to sweep me off my feet and gimme a chance to make him the center of my world !
p.s. mind u, SRK might be old now but still does it with panache !
well, i believe...
just that the definitions have been changing over the times and the 'someone' has become a remote impossibility now, cos of his (my 'inclination' proves many things!) dynamic nature ! :D
in my early teens i hopelessly used to believe that a knight will come , riding on a white horse and sweep me off my feet!! i wont have any option but to fly away with him..in the clouds..
sigh..some animal rights activists rushed in..confiscated the horse and the rider too !!! and my dreams were shattered...
then SRK came into my life..roaming in the alps, crooning love ballads, with a damsel clad in chiffon sarees swooning in one hand (she kept on changing though :-\) and stars in eyes..that was perfect romance for me..used to go weak in the knees :) at times i still do :D
but that was lala land..sigh again..when i landed on earth, there were no alps around, no muzik and above all no SRK !!! wat the **** (hell :D) i never knew i had such good imagination :D sigh.. sigh.. sigh..
twas time that i came off age and started respecting the real, actual living beings around me..and not some stupid fool who dint even know wat he was doing right at the top of the mountains in the damning cold, with a female clad in bare minimums :D
hmmm...reflecting now me thinks, not dreaming and BEING in the real world is a bit problematic..cos u dont know of the many dimensions and complexities of human nature! on the other hand, dreams and hindi films r so simple !
take 1 : boy meets girl, after some hiccups girl agrees, then a stupid fight against society and finally everyone unites and happily ever after
take 2 : c wat happens in fairytales..shrek rescues the princess..she falls in love with him and after fighting some really funny malefactors, its happily ever after again..
hmmm (again!)i suddenly realize that many of my fans(!) who r reading this, might think that nightflier's had a heartbreak or she s lost hope !
no madames and sir(s) of course :D, neither m i heartbroken nor have i lost hope..i write these incoherent thoughts as i find people around struggling and desperately trying to find out the right one for themselves!
mind u 90% of the people my age want to get settled in life and the search for the right one has taken its toll !!this fact comes from the observation that, people already in relationships want to get settled and lukkhas (like me :), me not included though) r seraching!
the ones who want to settle down have got bigger problems on their mind..where,why and most importantly how ??? the lukkha gang is working on trial and error..
i really dont know how do u know, when u know, that this is it !! is it the same feeling u get, when ur searching for pink pyjamas and right there in the corner of the shop, lying below heaps of other assorted stuff, u find it ! or is it something you feel when u r seeing off a long acquainted friend and sense a void forming inside u..guess its a feeling which is something very ordinary but inexplicable!
people around r going through a lot of chaos..2 years back the same lot were giving engineering exams (yeah..others too :)) and struggling through them..gosh !!! hope they then knew that this is just a stroll in the park :)
i hopelessly wish that everyone finds what they have been searching for !! after all coming back to my point, someone somewhere is made for u ! :) (not sure if my wishes work, but then somewhere i must be some god's favorite blogger !)
