There are connections which seems to be lifeline at one point of time, and you feel you can't survive without those. But time and work makes survival possible even without those.
This is from the time when I didn't know how to swim. I can recall two incidents from that time which are worth mentioning. The first one was at chhatth'2000 and the second at chhatth'2001. In our village we used give aragh at the bank of the river opposite to our village as that bank had sand. We used to call it baluahi ghat. So, the day before teenagers from our gaon used to swim across to decorate the other bank. Decoration was a symbol of reserving the place for us. We used ribbons, series bulbs, banana trees etc, to decorate the place. Back to the point, it was the day before the festival. All teenagers were crossing the river. There was a boat also and as I was a novice swimmer(that would also be boasting, I just used to throw my arms and legs), I was on the boat. As the boat reached the mid river my uncle asked if I knew swimming. I don't know what occurred to me, I nodded in yes. Then he just said jump in the water why the hell are you on the boat, enjoy man. Wi...
It was a fine Sunday morning. I was jogging with my brother. After walking down miles as considered by my brother, we returned to our colony ground. It was all set for a cricket match. Our bonhomie were present there with bats and ball. Teams were decided. Observing my team, I figured out that I was taken there as an all rounder. Oh my God! it means I will have to bowl. Its the most dreadfull act for me. I'm really scared of it because of unknown reasons. Earlier this was not so. I bowled my qouta with pretty decency. But now I can't even bowl a single, good lined, well pitched slow ball.Don't know which devil ate my all confidence. Sometimes I grab the ball with such a force the there is untimed delivery of ball and I end up bowling short, or the grip is too loose to get the ball bounce the ground even once. But it went well at the end. I ended up doing good with bat but not with ball. Then I happened to bump in my school reunion. There I saw Bhanu, Dayanidhi. I informed B...
Life has been very happening lately, witnessed many new things. Don't know whether I should write or not. But anyways I have to express it somewhere, If not to my closest friends then at least to my diary .... my blog. Here it goes .... One of my best friends came back from his onsite. Since morning I was in regular touch with him. Although I was in office but for the greatest invention of man called mobile I was in touch with my friend, or you must say this was what I assumed. Then, at 1'o clock he let me know that he has locked himself out of the house and he can't enter. Actually my house has a strange locking system identical to cars. If you haven't taken the keys out of the house and somehow the gate gets locked then you have no way to enter the house. He stepped out of the house and due strong breeze, a blessing of Bangalore, the gate got locked. He called me for help. I told him to ask the security guard who is small enough and can easily get into the house throu...
