I always had this motivation problem with me. Whatever I do, I end up getting uninterested about it and soon loose interest. May be a fickle mind but this time its Chandni who is keeping me motivated to write something. This time I got tagged by her. So here I go………

I am thinking about…
Presently I am sitting in Blore railway station and abusing myself once again for a mess. This time it happened that I did not check the train departure time and somehow took it for granted that train is at 8.But hell broke out when I dropped into the station to know that train is at 11. So now scraping n abusing.

I said…
"Didn't do anything wrong this time in Goa"….m honest….guys this time do trust me…but yes..have all the info…wll surely help u all

I want to…
Rest this complete weekend. Coming back from Goa to Chennai needs lot of mental and physical preparation. The body that got used to some finest delicacies of fish n goan cuisines coupled with good wine, night long party, best delights to the eyes..needs some time before it settles down with idli n vada.

I wish…
I was staying in Shillong and was enjoying the laidback life there. Life in last couple of years has changed so drastically. Now, I get up in the morning fight it out with traffic and reach office. By the time I leave it is time for dinner and after having dinner nothing else but sleep. The greenery, music, hangouts, food of Shillong are all lost. I wish I could revert back to that life.

I hear…
All types of music. From contemporary to country. But my personal favs are moribund songs. Somehow I could very well relate to those songs.

I wonder…
We humans are like virus. How being the least fertile species we have encroached the Earth and infesting it.

I regret…
Dnt regret anything. I always look forward.

I am…
Not a very good person. That is best and safe answer.

I dance…
copying steps of bollywood stars. My fav step are hands wide open like SRK, shaking booty like Govinda, hands in pelvis n shaking whole body like Abhishek. But since the advent of Hip Hop life has become easy for people like me. Dnt need to do much just shake.

I sing…
Dont sing much as I have been banned from singing all the heavy metal songs on the excuse of it being too explicit and corrupting the corporate ethics. But someday for someone I wll once sing “Abhi na jao chorke ki dil abhi bhara nahi,Abbhi abbhi to aye ho, Abbhi abbhi chal diye”

I cry…
Nowdays No. Last time cried was in class VIII when I prepared some cheats for cheating in English exam and after the exam forgot to throw the cheats. Next day maid discovered it in my pant pocket and thinking it to be something important gave it to mom. Mom like a typical Indian mom escalated the matter to Dad and like a typical Dad he did what he did best.

I am not always…
that innocent as I look. I have many deadly plans building up inside me.

I make with my hands…
boiled water. I have always been astonished with the immense power of boiled water. It has magical powers of being a savior. In boiled waters if u add eggs it turns out to b boiled egg, if u add with tea leaves it turns out almost as tea, if u add some rice dal n masala it turns out almost edible. To be honest I dnt know cooking. I only know boiling water and it has been savior for me.

I write…
never. Once tried writing an introductory speech for my boss using fountain pen. I realized I was writing after 2 years and with the fountain pen after 10 years. In the end I broke the nib of my boss’s pen and along with it bloated up my desk with ink. But thx god I am not that clumsy with keyboard.

I confuse…
Clients. They have this belief that anything in this world can be automated. Though I agree with them but automation wll come at the coast my sleep and weekends. So the more u can confuse the clients the more you can relegate your work. But to be honest art of creating confusion is also a talent and its not very easy.

I need…
Cellphone so that I can set an alarm, calculate stock market ups n downs, sms people wheneva I get drunk, play mobile games waiting in the queue, n wheneva in heights of boredom can message myself motivational sms.
Net so that I can scrap, blog so that I can read, sites where I can get visual delights, stock quotes and keep connected to some online communities.


Pewww…thanks god …I could complete the tag. Not that easy as I had thought. Now…chance to forward the tag. Here it goes

Thx frnd, had it not been u, I had almost forgotten that I have a blog to maintain. Other day in a travelers blog, I was reading world’s highest railway has been started between Beijing and Lasha. Reading it, I could also feel the charm and the joy attached with that trip. Because for me, I have always enjoyed a train ride basking on the couch of the IInd A/C with lots of book and music for your ears and nobody to disturb. Being from India’s extreme corner, Shillong, I used to enjoy 50-60 hours train rides from other extreme corners of the country to the surprise of my fellow friends. But not that it has always been so black and white. Many comedy of errors also happened. Once it happened that instead of boarding Guwahati Rajdhani I boarded Mumbai Rajdhani. On entering the train I found someone else was occupying my sit. On confirming, to my horror, I realized that I am in Mumbai Rajdhani and by that time the train also started picking up pace. I realized that I had made the biggest error of my life as the next halt for the train was Jhansi(after 6 hours).As god had always been kind to me and due to some signal problems the train halted and I could get down. Another comedy of error happened when I boarded a train from Gwalior for Trivandrum at 12AM. This time after boarding the train I realized that my ticket was dated with yesterday’s date as after 12AM it is a new date. Whole journey I had to go sitting in front of wash basin and more to that I had to pay the fine also. Some of my favorite stretches of train journey are 1.crossing sea by Rameshwaram bridge 2. Konkan railway trip 3. Traveling by the side of Chilka in Orissa 4. Kalka Shimla Railway for its steepest climb and tunnels 5. Toy train from Shilliguri to Darjeeling where the train goes meandering between Tea Gardens. If one has to enjoy the integrity of India one should enjoy a ride by Indian Railways. So much cultural diversity is visible that observing it itself is very interesting. Though now with low coast airlines and constraints of job, I am unable to enjoy the laidback train journey. But given a chance that is what I would love to do.
