Pradyumna

2011-10-27T10:03:00.003-04:00

What a strange dream. This morning at 5 a.m. I had a weirdest dream. In my dream I was in hospital and a doctor came with a cute baby. He said `you have a son" what do you want to name him. I replied "Pradyumna". I don't know why I had this dream. I am getting old (passed 40 years on this planet) plus my wife is operated so no chance of having more kids plus I have cute daughter.
Just could not sleep after that.
Just thought to empty out my thoughts.

Mishap

2011-04-04T12:39:00.003-04:00

Well guys,
A mishap happened 40 years ago. A kid was born on this day. His childhood was good, being only son he was pampered, but he too was good in studies. Always first in his class and always winning prizes, making his parents proud. Well he passed his school education with flying colors and decided to become computer engineer. After some hiccups he passed that too. After working some time he enrolled for higher education and passed with flying colors again.
He started working for a small company and guess what? this guy fell in love with a girl. He got a job in MNC and started working there working putting forward best of his ability. He got married and few years, (12 to be precise) went fine.
Then he moved to another country and again he was doing well. And then his downfall started.
How and what happened? Lets see in next episode.

Emptiness

2010-01-28T09:25:00.002-05:00

Do you feel emptiness soetime? Well recently, I am feeling it every minute. Why do I have to suffer? I know there are some mistakes I have made, but ....
I have to accept it, but .....
Is it my fate's fault or me as a so called dog's, filthy, useless person's fault?
No one can point it out. But one thing for sure, that I am so powerful, that whatever bad thing happen, they happen only and only because of me. My bad luck is so bad that I can never do any good things in life. Is it null? or emptiness? Well both may mean same thing but they are not?

where am I?

2008-06-02T22:41:00.002-04:00

damn right, where have I vanished, this life has become so busy that it is becoming next to impossible to come here and write my thoughts, but I will try ky best to come here and write.
Things have not been going well for me, is irt becausee I set standards high for myself?

Work Load

2006-12-07T20:48:00.000-05:00

This workload is going to kill me. Got 100+ movies remaining to be converted from DVD format to be uploaded into my Windows streaming server.
To add to my misery the new tools works intermittently.
the 3/4 tapes i mentioned in my last blog are being added every week, Receive at least 25 movies every week, so that is additional load which I have not even managed to start.
Well yesterday was real fun, we had our office Christmas party. It was some fondue place in downtown.

Nice setup,
started with some salad and then we had different kinds of breads (white, wheat, rye etc) and apple slices with cheese. This was the 2nd course, third course consisted of steak (which I did not eat), chicken, tiger prawns, salmon and some other kind of fish (don't remember), for the veggie guys it was tofu, mushrooms, ravioli filled with zucchini (is the spelling right?), sweet peppers etc, which we had to cook.
It was fun, the last course was chocolate fondue which had banana, pineapple, strawberries. brownies. Well with tummy so filled with other stuff plus 2 glass of Cuba Libre and Cosmopolitan, there was no chance of having anything else, just had to satisfy on one brownie ;).

As usual and with my bad luck I did not win a single puzzle, well what do you expect after being hammered with all the stuff I had drunk hic!... hic!....

Anyway the hangover is gone but it was good start for Christmas season, with party's lined down till mid-January

Till next time

Ciao

at last

2006-11-15T11:52:00.000-05:00

At last got some time to write on my blog.
Yesterday evening I went to Hockey game, it was hall of famers hockey game, of course all of them had retired and way old (some of them already balding). The game was between Team Canada & Rest of the World. What we saw was real hockey, not these current day games with lots of penalties, body checking, fighting. It was 10-10 toe at the end of 3 periods.
Also in between we had Figure skating, synchronise skating by girls, kids hockey (all kids aged 3-4 years).
What was amazing was the eneergy these guys had (both the kids & the oldies) and of course the technique they used

WIll write later, may be tomorrow, for now I had to start working on converting those old 3/4 tapes on DVD

Has india changed?

2006-10-27T16:05:00.000-04:00

Just read news about Karnataka CM's son drunken behaviour and altercation at hotel. Wondering has india changed since I left 5 years ago? I don't think so, had this happen in US he would have been booked and after he was convicted would have received approx 30+ years of jail time, for mere threats. Must be laughing at my comments, but this is serious, what achievemet this 19 years baccha has in life? Baap CM hain to? can do anyhting? well, thats how India life is only for the rich and famous.

Hummer eh!, good baap CM hain so no one is going to check his income. "humble" farmer and grandson of sleeping PM (remember anyone?)

baki kaa laters

Diwali time

Empty

2006-09-23T19:09:00.000-04:00

Empty feeling, thats what I have now, empty or vaccum? Empty is absense of something so it may be that or something. You might have already guesses, I am not what I am :D.
The Book which I saw yesterday might have contributed to this feeling.
The book was "Being And Nothingness" by French existintalist thinker JeanpPaul Sartre. What is that?
In simble english Existintialism is the study of existence of life. What is the meaning of Life? That is what oit talks about? Do we come into this world for some reason? DO we live for any reason? Well it is too deep ot understand this, especially when you have to worry about everyday life. But something worth considering especially when you are in the state of emptiness like mine.

Let me go back ot my emptiness or in the state surrounded by Vaccuum.
Hell no, I have to go, hmm where? Well for Navratri Danduya and Garba :D Bird watching ;)

Keep blogging and will think over the Existentialism later

Weekend activities

2006-09-06T16:04:00.000-04:00

Hi Guys,
Sorry for not writing since middle of last week. Had been busy with weekend ganesh Visarjan Function in our temple.
The function was help on Sunday (not literally the Visarjan Day) but here in Ottawa, functions are held on Sundays so that everyone can participate.
The function was huge success. Approx 500+ peoples attended the function. Myself & my wife (she is better now after week long coughing), were organiser and of course help from fellow marathi community members.
We got lot many calls after the function was over, congratulating us for splendid arrangements and the efficiency with which we cleared up.
Sad part though was death of my aunt's husband. We came to know on saaturday night Died probably due to Cardiac attack.
This was huge shock as my sister is getting married in next 3 months.
The sorrow was inconsolable but, life goes on we have to accept it.
Anyway, nothing much to write, will write in Couple of days

Till then keep blogging

Finaly she is fine now although bit coughing but at least moving around, but hey she is back to do her usual habit of keeping things neat and tidy, of course I do not have any complaints for it.
WOrk in office is good, no worries, except for some gentlemen or couleague you can says who take things personally and think that I am stupid for demanding somehtings.

Seriously

2006-08-25T14:55:00.000-04:00

Seriously, I am thinking of writing on my blog. Somewhere I can write my thoughts.
Finally, its the day I wait from Monday. Yes you gussed it rgiht Fridayyyyyyyyyyy. Movie day.
But i guess I will not be able to watch any movie today. aaah, one of those days when some family friend invites yo for dinner (which is good). But I am too tired to go anywhere.
Was chatting with my buddy and behold, he is young and enthusiast and already has 3 blogs and he is religiously writing on those.
Guess why I cannot do the same? simple too tired and too lazy to login and write something, with all my grey matter clogged up with all the mess I am working on, nothiong comes outso that I can write, but I guess will get used to writing

Well then guys & gals have a good weekend, till we meet again on Monday
