dont like staying alone......

its been abt a week now.....
ending the day and waking up in a house all alone is not a great feeling....

Some fond Memories...

just saw this one today morning in one of my diaries....
Its again one of my tissue paper collections...



Me , Kapil, Sonam and Apoorva had been to Pizza corner just after our last MBA exam...this was in 2006..sitting there we were wondering how time flew by...

the attached tissues says it all...



missing those days...

A trip to Pench Reserve...

Mind blowing moment as I captured this video..
A tigress and her 3 cubs were spotted by us in Pench Tiger Reserve during my recent visit( May 22, 2009).
We were in a Gypsy and had heard that there was kill in the morning and that there were chances of us spotting the tigress.
we roamed around the forest looking out for it....and finally we got to hear the calls" - special alarm sounds made by sambhars, cheetal or monkeys...
we waited patiently to witness which is a rare sight..
And the moment came...at a slight elevated rock, sat a Tigress...with a majestic look..
we were ecstatic at the view of it...
we got ready to capture it..in our memory..in our veins and in our cameras...
while we were watching her with all our focus...we saw her cubs roll over her and the scene became even more pleasurable!
Then things turned around..the tigress stood up! and started climbing down the rock...right towards us!
This was getting more exciting...and at the same time chilling..
At about 20 feet from us.....we were open mouth stuck by the fact that a tigress stood in front of us..in the wild!
we were at the edge of the road..and the tigress across it...now the distance was only about 10 feet..as she cross us and the road...
For a moment it was like a dream! unbelievable and hard to gulp the fact!
She crossed the road and then went to the spot where the kill ( the wild boar) was...she then grabbed the kill and dragged it to a place behind the rocks..supposedly for hiding it from other animals..
after finishing this task..she then moved back towards the road..crossed it from a different point and climbed down the rocks to re unite with her cubs...

The entire description is captured in the video...enjoy the clip!

Cheers!

Akela Chala tha.....Akela Chalunga...

This short poem is what i still have it with me in my wallet....this was written by my friend on a tissue paper in our college canteen...The same is as attache below...( Dated 14th June 2005)

This was when I was very much dejected and depressed.. during campus rcrtmnt.......dukh to hona tha na:)

This is what the poem reads...Inspiring one...

Akela chala tha,akela chalunga,

Gagan ke sitaron, na do saath mera,

Sehej mil sake jo, nahi lakshaya mera,

Bahut door meri nisha ka savera!!

Agar thak gaye ho,to tum laut jao....

Gardish mein main rahunga akela......

Gagan ke sitaron, na do saath mera....na do saath mera....

Not so good experience with Bajaj Finance...it S*&(()&

Wanted to share my not so good experience with Bajaj Finance...as they declined my finance option....
"I am a Bachelor"....!!

Over the weekend...i went to buy an AC...as the summer was taking a toll on me...
after all my visits to most of the show rooms..i found the "excite showroom" located in metropolitan mall giving the best offer..
I decided on a samsung 1.5 ton and then proceeded for the payment....
On enquiring the sales lady, i got to know about the finance scheme and hence was much more happy..
it was an o% interest offer on a 12 month emi option..
We were through with the calculation and i started filling the form..
Then came my dissapointment..
The Bajaj Finance guy asked for Identity as well as address proof( residenial) documents...
And when i menioned that i have most of my address proof docs in official address mode and that i was a bachelor...he took a U turn..
After long discusson and pursuation..it dint work...
He refused to give the finance option citing " I was a Bachelor"....

I decided not to waste my time with him and walked off angrily...
I then proceeded towards Reliance digital...which was actually giving it at a price higher than Excite...
I stopped and pondered for a while and then decided to go back and swipe my credit card...
and would get he amount converted into EMIs....since there was a over all difference of 3ooo between the offer from other show room..

At the end of the day i was still frustrated and angry at the Bajaj Finance experience...
I had gone for a Cannon IXUS from bajaj 3rd eye and have a clean track record in terms of my EMIs...I also realised i had got an instant Car loan running upto lacs....and now was finding it difficult to get a finance scheme for 25k!!
surely the financial crisis have made these financers take more precautions....
But at the same time they are also loosing customers...and creating more customer dissatisfication...
