Dawn is breaking, Its early morn....

Its 3 a.m. You might be wondering… What is so special about that? But for me, it’s a different experience. I am at the Mumbai Airport. Just checked in early, as I have to board a 5 a.m. flight. I generally do that to avoid last minute anxiety. And let me tell you. Am not alone. The CCD lounge here is full. I just managed to scrap through a small place that was left out @ the corner, right next to the stand holding merchandise for sale. People are busy in their own respective worlds. Some of them, are talking to their family or friends. Some deeply engrossed in reading. And at the other end, look at me. I am doing something, which am sure; none must be doing around here. Writing a blog. But having known the kind of person I am, don’t think you are surprised.

The ride from my Bandra residence to the airport took much lesser than I expected and that’s how, I ended up being @ the airport, almost 2 hours before the scheduled departure. Thought the wait would be a boring one. And the line for Security Check Up was huge. I was unable to relate the chaos to an airport. Been a frequent visitor here. But for the first time, have come across so much of congestion.

Now, I have moved to the Gate No 2. My body has realized that I have not slept the whole night. But still. The excitement to reach home compensates for all the sacrifices I made to board this flight.

I will be killed if I write more on a stupid journey. Why the hell should I bore you just to get rid of my boredom? Guess I will now move to my all time travel companion, the one and only iPod. That will spare me the trouble of being alone out here, as I tend to get engrossed in trying to get a feel of the songs.


Wish me a Safe Journey……



NOTE: This post has been uploaded 22 hours late. This is because; the Airtel Wi-Fi at the airport ditched me big time.

Good Bye DHL...

Last 7 days in DHL. Am all set to join another company. And yes. More than happy to move back to where I belong.

In DHL, when a shipment is undelivered, it is "Returned to Origin" i.e. sent back to the shipper. In my case, m returning to the Origin. My hometown.. GOA. Land of beaches, temples, churches and wat not. But most importantly. The place where my Parents live. Where you can find my great buddies carving a niche for themselves in their respective professions.

Will write more.. surely.. When I just sat down to write, a whole volcano of emotions erupted in my mind.. GUess, I should take some moments. To be with myself...

So for now, I sign off...... Only to come back... SOOON...

The Budget....

Being honest pays; not everytime.... What is Mr. Giri saying? If thats the thought which came to ur mind, then hold on. I am only interpreting the statements of our FM. By giving a loan waiver, the FM has done good to the debt ridden farmers. But the honest and hard working ones, who have at times sacrificed their meal and paid back, will be in for a shock. Wat did they get by paying back? Appreciation? No for sure. But those who dint pay, got it waived off.


I have nothing against the relief. But the way it is done, will go on to set a wrong precedent. And our country is battling against quite a few of them. Or rather, plenty of them.


I would be more happy to see our Agriculture sector being reformed. Short term solutions like waivers are certain to make the life only tougher.



LETS KEEP OUR COUNTRY AS THE PRIORITY...

VOTE BANK POLITICS SHOULD TAKE A BACK SEAT...

Withdrawn....


If you feel, only the rich and famous are subject to accuse, then think again. A person like me, had to withdraw an article under the pressure of several visitors to my blog. They were just not ready to accept whatever I had written about my college. One of my close buddies went to the extent of saying that people might feel that the college had paid me to write such goodie-goodie stuff.

As a result, the article stands withdrawn.. A more realistic one is already "UNDER CONSTRUCTION".

Till then.. Take care....
