Main aisa kyon hoon??

-I can listen to my favorite song infinitesimal number of times..Be it Lamhe(Zeher) or Dus Bahane or Rabbi Shergill's Bulla ni Jana or Linkin Park's "In The End"..the list goes on..

-I love reading--be it newspapares,magazines or novels...Used to spend atleast a couple of hours while in college reading the newspaper daily..and my friends freaked out on this..Have read most of the bestsellers of Grisham,Archer,Sheldon and the like..

-I can sit in front of my PC for long hours doing nothing useful (or productive..naa..dont take in the other sense!!).this has served me well for a long time..don't know how long it'll last!!

-I am a cleanliness freak..unable to see anything disorderly..In my subconscious, ther's a place for everything..and that thing should be there..Though this has landed me in trouble a lot of times when my friends cannot locate where they've placed their belongings!!

-I love the unshaven look..In the age of retrosexuals and metrosexuals,the opposite sex finds this quite bizarre..Guess that's one of the reasons I'm all alone rite now..

-I like to do the unconventional..whether it be going to the multiplex/mall in shorts and sandals..(with the entire junta staring at u...more so in a conservative city like Hyderabad..I feel as if I'm an alien..) But still the next time you'll find me in the same attire!!

-My mind(though I rarely make use of it) works well only when I sh*#..that's when i find the tranquility to read and ponder..great innovative ideas have struck me there..

Guess that's a long list of my "qualities"!!More would be an overdose!!Hope u bear with me..as I'm doing with myself!!
Leaves me with the question "Why am I the way I am?"..

My Father...Best!!

It's Father's Day today!!Jolly ho..it's been a long time( 3 days as long as I remember) since I last talked to Papa..Hope this will be reason enuff to call him again..

My Dad..He's the best I can hope for..(One of the few things for which I can thank God profusely is for my family)..Providing the best possible education that can be provided..imbibing in me his principles and values..being a mental pillar of support when I most needed it in my times of tribulations..

I really pride myself for being his able son..He has held all the high positions that are of esteem in the government..but still there is not a hint of arrogance or haughtiness..He has received threats on his life(and our family) for not being corrupt..but still he has weathered the same with utmost calm and patience..not willing to bow down to the whims of the high and the almighty...I sometimes wonder how!!

While my mother was battling cancer, one could his steely resolve..That was a really testing time..me and my twin brother ready to go to college (That was the first time I would be away from the comforts of my cosy home)..and all my sisters settled with their respective families.I still remember him making to and fro journies to Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai to have Mummy checked regularly..

I think God wanted to test him further..That was when Mummy left us all..That was the first time I saw Papa crying..I still remember what he told me "Sorry beta, I couldn't save your mummy"..I just couldn't control myself..But that incident, I feel has left him slightly shattered..

I really pity myself now that I'm self independent..But still I can't have my Dad with me..To earn my bread and butter, here I am in the City of Nawabs..sitting in front of my PC for 12 hours a day(even in the weekends)..leaving home early at 8:30 am(to be ONTIME..thats another god-damn initiative in my esteemd company)..and returning by 8 in the nite..What precious time can I spend with my dad even if he's here with me??

Lots of senti and emotional stuff for today..Guess I'll better call Papa and wish him..

Make sure you do too!!

Good night!!Cheers!!

Back after a long hiatus!!

I'm back after a long hiatus..Gotta loads of work to complete the last few weeks..But now I'm back to what I like best..Blogging has become a rage over the world..and u just can't ignore it.
Meanwhile got through a lot of posts on rediff but could find only a few wortwhile..So I thought why not add to the "junk" blogs and post a few of them myself.(he he he...)

This has been one unique weekend for me..coming to office for work (for which I rarely get any recognition)..learning the nitty-gritties about an entirely new application.But what I love during the weekends is listening to "Lamhein" and "Dus Bahane" in full volume...the current chartbusters..chatting whoever I find "online"..though there are very few(possibly it is the weekends or is it just me??)..surfing ,googling and of course blogging...

After time immeorial, I've not seen any movies this weekend..the choices were between "Sil(ly)silay" and "(Is movie se)Bachke Rehna Re Baba"...and I'm glad that i didn't spend my trifle(this is the middle of the month and phew...my bank account has only a few hundreds to last me the remaining month) but "hard-earned" bucks watching these movies..One of my friends started crying in BRRB(no, it was not a senti movie at all..)..He just could not fathom how any movie could take its viewers to be such damn, f)@#$%^ fools..
gotta complete a little pending work,so I'll take a brief break..

Have a rocking weekend!!
