Escape from the Cubicle Nation: Lavasa Dec 2010

Look for the Last pic... They thought they were posing for the camera :P

Also... The T Shirt I was wearing is NOT a superman clone... its Provogue :)

Where there is a will there is a way...

Learning was never easy... I guess I was always privileged

Diwali @ Pune

This is how our office celebrated it...

And this is how I celebrated it :)

Sony CyberShot H55... Test Snaps

Recently bought a Sony CyberShot H55... Wanted to take some snaps...

What better place than to start from the most colorful things at home :)

In pursuit of becoming VERY rich :)

Every weekend I have these thought cross my mind... A pandemonium... Very uncomforting !!
How/When will I be VERY rich...
I browse all the time to search for the billionaires list...So much so, that Bill gates can hire me as a waiter in his house and I wont even have a problem finding rooms there, out of the 500 he has :)
Today was one of the best things I ever did... I flipped through pages of all the enterprenuer magazines till date to find that ONE Idea... Sadly it is yet to come :(
So I guess there are no shortcuts... I need to flex my buts and take some beating... to pull this through...
So Pray for me... Not that I become rich... But atleast I give an honest effort instead of pulling my bedsheet and sleep like bear :) :)
Only exception... Do not include weekends in your prayer... Because I really really want to go out and have some fun then...so I am tiered. Also exclude wednesdays... because usually there is some work overloads by then.
It would be great if you could also exclude Mondays... because it is a day when I am so not organised... Still gathering my thoughts... Tuesdays and Thursdays are just fine :P

Chokhi Dhani....

You dont need no ticket... Just thank the lord

Looking back... I realise... I owe him a lot... :)

Romance and Cigarettes :)

Although I am not a big fan of any of the above :P
And with all due respect, I guess they are Siamese twins :)

.

… Both Start with Flames :)
… Both burn you to ashes :)
… Both have a filter which never lets you feel you are burning :)
… Both are addictive :)
… Both leave you with a feeling of wanting more :)

So, given a choice who would you choose ?

Caution: If you are related to me and reading this, I am not the one who scripted this one :)

We must have been smoking Pot :)

There were times when:
- Weekends meant office
- 1:00 am meant design review meetings :P
- Dinner was served in the discussion rooms and conference halls :)
- Every Monday a deliverable date... always missed :P
- Diwali holidays... just another day in office
- Only song playing on my ipod... "Take me higher" from Creed :P
- And ofcourse 10 am ... was a nap time :)

Looking back now.. I do realise... We must have been smoking Pot :P

Santa Barbara... April 2010... Part 3

Convocation... Not Mine... Dad's :P

.

He can... and always does...

Damn !!! When will I :( :( :(

Me and My Tummy had a worst kind of fight :P

We went to Downtown breweries during lunch !

Me bole: Budweiserrrrrrrrrrrr

Tummy bole: Naah..... Lunch kaun karega :)

Me bole: Tummy ki suno ya apni :(

Me bole: Tummy ... Me ... Tummy ... Me ... Tummy ... Me

Me bole: Bud with Buffolo wild wings.... with Blue Cheese ?

Tummy bole: Yummmmmyyyyyyyy :P

Morning blues...

When going gets tough... Crack open a beer :)

Does that make things better... I don't know... At least you had a beer :P

Work, Fun, Love, Family...and then there are dreams :)

"My Son Will become an Engineer" ... That was 20/something years ago :)

And it hasn't been smooth sailing since then :P

No of times... dreams were predicted to disintegrate.

Thanks to the economic environment... we are stifled by choices and filled with a sense of possible !

Over the years we develop responses and immune system for failures...

Which is amazing... considering the fact that we are in so many ways anchored in the past!

Therefore... Still tenaciously holding on to that one essential objective... and through good and ill fortune alike... There will be days with grandeur of success and failure

To that day.... Cheers :P

Karma... Moksha... Maya...

Karma: To bring my sorry A** to work, every monday morning :)

Moksha: To be the richest man in the world :)

Maya: Alcohol :)

Whats yours ? :)

Mentor... Santa Barbara

Good Times... Bheemashankar
