Resemblance...

Have you ever noticed this stark resemblance between Irfan Pathan and Monica Seles!

Manoos Vs Marathi Manoos -1

Disturbing is NOT the fact that somebody named Raj Thackeray is making inflammatory speeches and doing the politics of regionalism, Thackeray's are known to do that since last 40 years.


Disturbing is the fact that State govt is taking ages to act and arrest him fearing that there will be clashes and vandalism by MNS sponsoerd goons!


Freedom of speech has so many shades!

Malai wala department

During his stint as a journalist, my brother decided to take state civil services entrance. After a back breaking preparation, clearing prelims, then mains and finally interview, he was through the process. Ready to serve the civilians as the name 'civil servants' suggests.

The entire process took a little more than two and a half years, thanks to the snail paced MP Public Service Commission. More wait followed as he waited for his posting. A round of process and procedures started. Finally after 7 months of final results, postings were out. He became Area Organizer in one of the district in Schedule Tribe Welfare Dept. A class II post. Now it’s anybody’s guess that such departments receive loads of grants from govt for the upliftment of this section of society.

Relatives came to know about his selection, posting and subsequently his departments and the reactions followed.

One was legendry " Malai wala department mila hai. Upar ki kamai bahut hoti hai wahan".

Though I was not present there and came to know about this incident only through my brother, I could imagine the expression on the face of a guy who spent his last three years as upright journalist.

Talk about pleasures of life!

Fresh Innings!

Looking at the last few posts made me realise that i have more or less not posted here since returning from my last visit to India. And now, after nearly 8 months, its time for another visit! Its been 16 months here among white babes! Quite a long time! Still, Bombabes are better ;-)


My flatmate is currently on a visit to India and I am all alone killing my time on this laptop and stock market analysis. This solitude made me realise that i enjoy spending time all alone more than with guys around me (I always had this doubt ;-) ) and considering that in all probability i will be a married guy in next two or three years, its a scary realisation.


I am almost out of touch as far as blogging is concerned and the effort that this post is taking is more or less equal to the struggle that Mcgrath used to do while in batting crease. I wonder i was an active blogger once! Almost every body from those days have stopped writing. Even the last man standing, Deepak, is not posting these days. In the last few days, met a few bloggers which rekindled my spirits. Lets see how this innings goes. Just hope future posts wont be as crap and as time consuming as this one.


So..This was just to start another innings.

Red??

Oh!

So Wimbledon is tennis and more!

Loved this!

"They say red is the colour that proves that you're strong and you're confident so I'm happy with my red knickers."

Cheers!

Looking forward to...

1. Playing guitar again. Yes, ordered a new one from amazon.

2. Dabble in equity trading ..Got the new password of my trading account after loosing the old one 8 months back!

3. Watching India vs England at Lords!

Not bad Mr. Rathore.

Back to UK

Am back from my short, sweet and hot trip to India.

The temperatures back there in Delhi and Gwalior were touching 46 degrees thus making every minute as long as a day while the presence of the loved ones around me made sure that the day melted down in a minute. So,in the end,things neutralised and i enjoyed my 15 day trip.

Hope to resume regular blogging now...
