Back with a Blow

I am back, still alive and kicking better than before. Its been long. I can't say that "Its been a long wait", cause i know no one waits for anyone. I meant, who gives a shi* if i write or not, if i blog or not. Its always good to have a fair assesment of how much you are wanted by others, or else you end up running after the wrong girl, who doesn't care even if you give up your life :-)

Well, i tried to look a bit funny. I don't know if its my lack of Humour or your sense of understanding that you couldn't understand me :-) Easy folks!! I am not gonna victimise you. Well i pull legs a lot, a load, i should have said.

Where was i? Oh yeah, i recall, "coming back to blog after long, and who gives a shi*" kind of discussion, wasn't i? I can hear you say "YES". I feel as if, i were a Rock Star on stage and you cheering for me. Ok, now don't start analysing my dreams. Its a sheer wastage of time.

Yes, i wanted to let you know that i am back and with full vigour. Several things have changed over the past few months. Let me try examplify and then lets try figure out if these changes are quantifiable, just to volumnise the impact of the change :-) ahemmm!! I mean it. Ok, now that you agree/believe now, lets start :-)

Last time since i wrote, loads of things changed. It started snowing here in Budapest much before the season. The impact of my presence. You see?
We Played Snowball on the first day of snow. The very second day, it snowed again. Guess what we did? Yes, right. We played Snowball again. and then, We kept on playing snowball happily ever after. I believe, its exageration, it was not so happy after all.

I had to return from Budapest, cause my visa had expired. I hope people from the Western Countries do not know much about what a Visa is, or how it looks like :-) Sorry, no offenses, i am not under-estimating. This is just giving an idea to others that people in the west are a bit more privileged to move around freely around without the pre-condition of having a VISA to enter a country. Does that make you happy now? I guess so. Ok, lets continue. Where was i?

Yeah, and then i travelled back to Mumbai. It was so very hot there. Not much though, i am used to more. But the transition from - 4 Degrees to 28 Degrees in less than 14 hours caused a bad cold to me. I got over it with a few drinks (pronounce Whisky and Rum). December 2nd 2005, I drank the whole evening, then had food and then again drank and then went to Marine drive with a group of Hungarian friends. We had way too much fun till the late hours of night untill the local Mumbai police dragged us out of the coast. My friends were too imbibed and alien to understand the gravity of the situation. When one of the Police said "Dhakeloon kya samundaar mein", as in "Do i push you in to the sea", i could realise that the Police were on to tasting blood that night.

The next two days followed really bad. I had a bloated stomach and a congested lungs. I neglected food. Unfortunately, I took to Diarrhea instantly. So much so, that i was bedridden in the Hospital for 5 days all by myself. One of my female colleague, Nishida(an Indian would have got a name Nishita. She sounds more like Japanese. Well, she has her share of this crap very often :-) ) and her husband helped me reach the hospital and get admitted when i was still at work. After that, for the next 5 days, there was no one who reached out to me. Out of the blue, i had a saviour. She was a very charming and beautiful damsel (I spoke to her first, realised later :-) ). She spoke to me on those lonely days. and even later and later. I don't know how she is now, or where she is, but she definitely meant a lot to me. I am not sure, if she ever realised that.

I was there at home with my parents for during the new year. A load of goodies happened to me then, i was not believing my fate. I visited Jaipur in between for a friend's Wedding. For a change, i continued with my work at Mumbai :-)
Usual Bullshi* at the workplace. Your manager telling you how you can improve, or what you are supposed to do. Nothing new to me. I have taken this crap for 6 years now, i am sort of immuned to this.

I was doing photography for so many years now, but had no online space. Now i can flaunt some of them, cause i burnt some of my paper photos to CDs (I would ideally like to take a lesson on burning CDs. But for now, i will try to enlighten everyone in this short time and space. Well, this is a very unusual process. if you are in to high level Organic chemistry, you understand it. You burn the paper photos with certain oxidants under fixed temperature and pressure constraints in an adiabatic environment, and the end-result is, you get the photos copied in CDs). Here are only some of photos from the huge collection that i have in Paper.


My parents wanted to get me married. Think, they want to have grandkids. Dunno how to contribute towards that. I am single and desparately looking, not to have kids though :-)

Met a lot of new colleagues, reconcilled with old ones. Changed three rented apartments. Met my old-time college buddy-Roomie Ujjal after about 6 years of a hostile relationship. We had a gala time during the weekends while in Mumbai this time. I still remember the days when our duo used to be the terror of the Hostel.

I bought a new apartment for myself in Mumbai. I am planning to go back this time to ornate my home with the best of my all collections.

And here i am back in Budapest since the past 1.5 months, doing nothing much. Eating-sleeping(alone)-Eating.

Things didn't change much in the past few months. The trees had come up with new leaves after they shedded in late autumn. It was all colorful last year, now the trees look all green. What else? Vijay became the project lead after Archana, Seema smiled as always, Sagar learnt Dotnet, Nishida's Husband joined her company, Prasanth became a guaranteer for my loan(people are indeed courageous), Rajneesh decided on a transfer, Asif changed location, Harsha never wrote back to me, Some eyes always were fishy, Someone special called to say "Helluuuu", Panda put on more weight, so has Rinkle, Rinkle left for the UK, Bhombol got married, Piklu changed company, Satish got a job after fighting for 3 years, Most of my folks in US got to their last year of PHD and i am still in that old crammed workplace. The hatcheries close to you all might have bred 17379309.. or more number of chickens, cause we just started having more chicken after the bird flu confusion died out; the Girl-Cow next door has a new calf. Its still a suckling; The hens have been laying incessantly; Its Spring now, the girl next door has started to bloom like the flowers in the fields. Everyday she tries out new outfits with lesser amount of clothings in them; The artics are melting, ozone is depleting, dunno what else to discuss. Dunno, if you have changed, i didn't. Over the past few months, i Loved, i Conquered(don't get ideas), i Lost, I Learnt, But i am still Loving. I won't stop. Fancy joining me? Yes, i am asking you, dumb as*?
