Memories of her.

A gist of memories consolidated together. # It was Sunday. I was in office working extra hours. Around noon she called me enquiring whether I was back home or still at office. Then she told me that her father had finalised the cake. And then we hung up. Moments later I was on my desk and realised that I forgot to ask how our engagement cake looked like. Wondering she might be asleep again I just dropped a message to send the cake's photo when she wakes up. Right at that moment she was sending me the cake's photo. It was that moment when we realised we were upto the same thing. She called me again and we burst into laughter. # We had just finished our lunch in the hotel room booked in Hyderabad. It was Chicken Biryani and Chilly Chicken from Paradise. And then we thought to lie down on the bed and relax a bit. We had hardly 3 hours with us to spend together. Once I was flat on my back on the bed, she crawled slowly on top of me. My body was able to contain her body completely....

What were the essential factors there were necessary to decide whether to change the repo rate or not?

Service to the mankind

Today when you got up from the bed in the morning what's the first thing you did? Basically you checked your phone. Mostly these days. And technically what did you do? You brushed your teeth? Absolutely. A small work you did for yourself. A small service. Service to your teeth. A basic maintenance which would help you chewing whatever food items you put inside your mouth. Then you must have taken a bath. Another small service or maintenance to clean up your body. Ideally to stay hygienic or a kind of feeling which you get started in the morning feeling afresh. Perhaps it is mandatory for some before going to school or college or office. All you do is tiny little things of service or maintenance to your body. If we consider the word 'service' it has such a broad understanding in life that seldom we are able to gauge the depth of it. You are a living being. You have a life and you have parents. You have a role in your life. Either as a son or a daughter or a husband or...

Change (Badlav)

Hello You. I meant every human being. How is your life going on? How is your relationship with family or friends or girlfriend/boyfriend working out? How is the everyday working going on? How is your ambitious career planning going on? How are you keeping up with your new year resolutions? What are you contributing to the social cause or for them who are unable afford a one time meal for their own family? What human or individual progress have you made ever since you occupied one seat of life in this planet earth? Lot of questions indeed. But a very few resolute answers without swaying. The answers to these questions you might get at the end of this write up. I want to talk about a few certain changes that we humans need to make in this blessed life. I want to write about extraordinarily bizarre thoughts that occupy my mind irrespective of the situation. Human beings are very comfortable. It's not done yet. Human beings are very comfortab...

Sometimes you just wish

Sometimes you just wish... If it weren't true. But that's the inevitable. You have to accept the fact that you have to move on and that is never coming again. You realise that all the memories which you've enjoyed and even faced some bad times during those times, are never coming back. Never. That moment grips you and then you know everything is over. Already. When you are in a relationship you face good times and bad times. All those get packed in a bunch and stay in one corner of your mind forever. Slowly some things fade away from that bunch but most of it remains intact. Every time, every moment you go through is special and is just once. We always seek the other side. The other side always greener and so is grass. But when you end up that side , does it change anything? Does it provide any relief apart from the fact that you ended up where you wanted to. Then you long that you hadn't changed sides. This had me realized that rather than changing sides , we should ...

The Big Break.

The system took around 20 minutes to get started. I was staring at the cursor thinking about my past two and a half months. Was it for real or it was just a good dream that I saw early in the morning? I couldn't believe that. It felt as if it was a dream. One of the best dreams I ever had. Suddenly I realised the system was ready and then I tried to log into CBS ( Core Banking Solutions) but I couldn't. Because my password had expired. Let's get back to the point when did I log in last before it expired. I was deep asleep on June 27th that's when my friend Amit called me up in the morning to break the news regarding RBI's notification. We had decided way back in January that once the notification is out we would just vanish from our office. The right time had come. It was July 3rd when the original notification came out. I booked my ticket the same night for the next day. The only idea that came up in my mind which was ofcourse given by my dad was 'Rheuma...
