the big fat indian Wedding....got the feeling of it on board Indigo Airways

I was travelling by Indigo airways on my way back to Hyderabad from Bangalore...


I put it..."the big fat Indian wedding" as my co passenger who was an vactionary from california asked me if it was always like this here!
thats how our conversation stared...as she struggled to concentrate on what she was reading due to the disturbance and people moving around...as if the flight was never going to settle down before it took off:)
i too felt that there was some thing wrong as people kept exchanging seats,moved around...
all the people wjo were from the front row seats till the emergency exit were of the same group....
i realised why i noticed that those seats were researved while i was trying to researve a seat online before i checked in....
the group was travelling to Jaipur..and were marwadis..Since it was marriage season..I realised it must have been a marriage occasion for which the group was either travelling to attend...or was travelling after attending:)

after all the drama and noise our plane finally took off...............
thats when me and my co passenger got into a conversation.....and it went on well i guess...
when suddenly it started all again...this time it was people not exchanging seats...but guess what?
yes...there were sweets,sonpapdi,ganthiya, and what not...being transfered from one seat to the other:).....
it was like, the marriage party had begun...

I looked at my co passenger and said...now thats what you get to see in a bus or a train..but look today..we have some thing on board:)
agreed she..as she ordered for few sandwiches as she was hungry...
we continued our discussion...covering our proffession..to my blogs...and dint realise that the 50 min journey time was over..

a memorable journey indeed...as i had some thing to talk about and now to write about...

we need Action.....its now or never..

i hope this incident will awaken every one...and there is Action taken..
its now or never...
do we have to wait for some thing more barbaric to happen and face this again?
i guess its high time there was some concrete steps taken...
I wish we have our leaders realise this..its time Mr.PM and Politicians...please understand that we all are dependent on you to curb these terroist activities...

Its time you talk straight...it time every thing else is kept aside but take measures to have a full proof system...
be it what ever...We Indians need an end to this...we are ready to extend our help i doing so....if you can not..then allow us to do so..

Is there an end to this???

wondering if there is an end to terrorism....
this incident has really made me feel disgusted...anger...and i wonder if i have an answer to my own qsts...

more than 48 hours gone..its still on...
dont know shud i blame our system..or keep patience and faith in their efforts to bring an end to this...


But in midst of all these..and with a anticipation that it will end..there are thoughts running in ma mind..
What shud be done...should we continue to be resilient? who is to be blamed?..is it worth blaming?..or action is what is need of the hour..
i was wondering..what can be their motive?...how wud be their mind set?...the pscyche..that they dont even care of thier own life...and true..how can they feel and think before taking some body else's life..
they are barbaric indeed..insane..
in the past i used to hear..the terrossit demand..a akashmir..huge money..etc etc...by holding hostages or decalring these after attacks..
but this particular incident...i fail to understand what they actually want...even the recent bom blasts in various cities makes me clueless about the motives..

really feel bad for those affected...


I will keep guessing.....and pray that we have a safe world to live..

Enjoyed the Free WIFI at Bangalore Airport :):)

Loved this thing..:) Align Center



enjoyed the free WIFI at BIAL:)

juszt reached base camp-HYD

just reached my place after abt 10 days of roaming around..
was wondering for a 1 hour flight duration..i ended up spending close to 7 hours of journey time!!
started at 3:45 pm to catch a bus to BIAL from Silk board,BTM layout and reached by 5:30 pm at BIAL..my flight was at 7 pm and hence strolled around the airport till the boarding announcement ..and then landed at Hyd at around 8:10 pm..
took a shuttle service bus and then a rick to reach my place by 9:45 pm..

PS: Blre-HYD flight duration is about 50 minutes only:)

It rains when i am in bangalore..

yes...every time i have been here it rains for sure..
wondering whats the connection!!!

i am here since last week...and the day i came it was bright and sun shine...
and then it had to happen..:) its been cloudy nd rained yesterday..and the record kept maintained.

it usually doesnt rain in bangalore during this time they say...
"November Rain" i would name it this time.

its a strange thing...and have kept my frnd observed the same..as it rained i smsed saying..." the usual" rain when i am in bangakore..




Aisa kyun hota hai?? perhaps i have a reason..perhaps ye dil rota hai jab main bangalore aata hoon..aur aansoon baraste hain:)
kuch to hai.....

I wish i could discuss..

per kya karoon...usne kaha tha..we will not discuss on this...
i wish i could get a chance to discuss...to speak my heart out...
perhaps then i would feel a bit light..then the suffocation would go..
but will it?? i dont know..i am not sure of 100%...but still it would do a good..

still on..and Melancholy

its been more than a week that i have been travelling..
lot to put down..woder if i can do that..have been hectic as well this week and the past days..
its been a mix tour..both official..and also got to catch up with many of my friends..

The day i would mark it..
It was Geeta's wedding..m sure she would have got surprised to see me..it has been 11 years since we met:)

Got the taste of Inflation:)

last night i got the taste of inflation:)
it happened thi way....
I had reached home bit late..and was hungry..hence decided to go down to the near by Kiran store and get some eggs for a omlete toast..

instead of carrying the entire purse i decided to pick up some coins...( assuming it would come within the coin range)

Give me 6 eggs i said....and was started to count the coins...
How much i asked...
15 came the reply..."What" said I....
15 bucks for 6 eggs...!!

He said yes my boy...thts wht u heared...i said is it for a dozen or for 6...he laughed and said...bhai..thats the market rate..u can try getting at lower some where else not here..
i was wondering wht was the lst known price by me...

I realised i got a taste of the inflation....i last remeber a dozen egg was abt 18 bucks:) ...things have become dearer...

Signpost put up by the Army...nice one:)

came accross this from masarrat...

Signpost put up by the Army at one of the highest passes in the world.......

One of the best Photographs of a life time, especially for Indians..... ......
