Symbi "Adventure"...

There was some prob with my SCMHRD prospectus.I had never imagined that I'll have to go all the way to one corner of Pune to get this mistake rectified. And on top of it,by missing the gathering at juhu....
We reach SIBM,senapati bapat marg.. It was a piece of cake to reach there, all means of transport available to get there.. I am pretty happy..I can go home early..
But,this happiness was shortlived.. There I am informed that SCMHRD is somewhere at 'Hingewadi,Infotech Park'.. and how to reach there..u get a bus(Symbi ka bus) frm SITM,which is at 'Atur Wadi'.. and how to get to 'Atur Wadi'??? Simple,10 min walk..
Fine,v set off walking in the hope to find this place. 20 min of brisk walking lands me there only to find out that the bus jus left 2 min back....!!!! damit..
Again walk so much to get to the main road to find some other means of transport..

The buses here(PMT) are awesome... actually... haha
PMT(Pune Muncipal transport) follows one principle... "Never wash the bus n waste so many resources,the rains r there for the same" +++++ the brake cylinder leaking all the way..

fortunately, v come across some company sumo,who leaves us at 'Wakad' which is abt 2kms frm r infotech park..Rs.10 per head.. i was pretty happy..
alighting here v ask for a rick who demands Rs.40... v curse him n go ahead.. start walking.. then at some distance,v ask another rick.. this fellow says 50... i am shocked..
its like.. the nearer i was reaching my destination,the costlier it was getting to reach there!!!!

Then, a very considerate rickwalla stops near us n asks where we wanna go..
Now,this fellow had 3people in his rick... i thought they might b gettin out... But.... unimaginable..
3of em + 1 of my friend sit on the back seat.. 1 of my friend and me sit besides the driver on each side,half out of the rick...
So,,its like 7 people including the driver 'cruising' in a 'THREE' seeater rick.. the rick was grumbling, grunting like a donkey who is overloaded...

it was like the movie 'SWADES' wherein SRK travels in a similar way... Proud India...
Yeh jo desh hai tera,swadesh hai tera,,,,,, and they say bloody indians go to US.... greatest paradox...

after all this 'Sangarsh' i earned a deserved drink with my friends in the eve in the chilling cold at pune...

Apaharan

I had a lecture in IMS on abstract GD's... the day was gloomy n as usual the urge to bunk running in my mind... So, I went to see 'Apaharan' with one of my friends... Thanks to his bike, we reached on time.. In Bombay one needs to move his bike from every nook and corner like a rat does from corner to corner...
Movie is an excellent medley of the politics scenario, crime, a true indian, etc.. The movie goes excellent with Ajay Devgan acting par excellence... N nana patekar has no comparison...
Worth watching.... If u have not, u r missing something good..

The Beginning...

Thinking about a blog, I was amazed with the power and reach of our brain.
A flood of thoughts start pouring - happy, sad, nostalgic, nightmares,etc., etc...
Its a haphazard stream with no interlinks.. But, according to the status quo, the insuperable nostalgic ones are on the forefront..
Well, again narrowing down on this, I have 'n' number of memories from my alma mater... will refresh all of them one by one....
