Life - A kaleidoscope!

Life couldn't be more unstable and uncertain. But still, no matter what, there is a ray of hope.. and thats what is all that am living with!

Pune..

Here I am, sitting in my cubicle all alone, waiting to leave it forever. Today is supposedly my last day in Infosys Pune, well, Pune. May be its natural, but the complete one year that I spent here is flashing right in front of my eyes, so clear, so loud. Thousands of feelings and thoughts are popping up, don’t know how and where to settle them. I remember the first day I stepped in here and I was amazed with the beauty of the Infy campus and excited with the very idea of inhabiting a new city. Living in pune was a beautiful and memorable experience. With all the goods and bads, I would rate it 8 on 10 though around 5 of these 8 points go to one soul reason. Anyways..! As I write this post, I realize how badly am gonna miss this place! I’ll miss its weather. For sure am gonna miss the awesome weather where you can expect a heavy down pour anytime any day while drizzling is almost permanent here, where you always prefer bathing with hot water round the year, where you prefer fan speed to be as low as possible (atleast I prefer that!), where sky is always cloudy and makes you fall in love with the city all the way more. Am gonna miss the hang outs, the CCDs, the restaurants, the places that I had been to, many of them hold warm memories for me, and I will always look back to them whenever I’ll think of my good times. Am gonna miss Infosys Pune DC, for its beauty, for its elegance, for its location which is surrounded by hills on all sides, for its FC1, FC2 and iBPO, will miss the times of ECC, SDB 9, SDB 7, SDB 8 (I guess only an Infoscion can understand these jargons!), for giving me my first project, my first team, my first technology, my first of everything in a corporate beginning, I’ll miss this DC a LOT! Am gonna miss H101, my flat, my first flat, first independent life, gawd I’ll miss it badly. It wasn’t really a flat, it was more like a home, thanks to three amazing partners of mine with whom life was all the way more beautiful. I learnt cooking, I learnt responsibility, I learnt what it takes to manage a home, both financially and emotionally, I learnt how to set the rules, I learnt how to define yourself, I loved my flat! Yes, am gonna miss the amazing people with whom I met and lived in pune and without whom all the above things wouldn’t have made any difference to me, I am gonna miss pune for numerous reasons but I’ll miss it most for the friends it gave me, every other reason is somewhere because of them only. Be it a colleague, a team member, a friend or a special friend, I lived every relation with its complete charm and no matter how things had been, I’ll remember each one of them, I’ll cherish each one of them. And when it comes to cherishing people attached to pune, I wanna say THANKS to the four closest friends of mine who were there with me in all the thick and thins, will miss you guys, will miss every second of our time spent together, whether on the roads of pune in FC, MG, KP, or in Infy, or in our very own flat, will miss you all, will miss the 5 of us together!

I wish something happens and I don’t have to leave today, but miracles don’t really exist, not atleast when you expect them so terribly. Well, here people say, life moves on, as of now, I see mine as still! All I can say in the end is.. Farewells are BAD! :(

Kasab to appeal in HC against death penalty next week?

Reference : today’s news papers

Its been close to two years the Mumbai terrorists’ attack took place. Don’t really think the impact has completely revived itself from the mind and souls of the masses, well, not atleast mine. If I think of those terrifying days, I get the same feeling of rage and inhumanity which I had felt when the slaughter was in process. Taj, completely destroyed, took months to get into shape again and get working. If we come to contemplating the steps took afterwards by government to try to bring justice to the incidence or to implement certain safety measures to prevent such activities to go successful again in the future, well, the contemplation doesn’t leads any far, rather, doesn’t leads anywhere in comparison to the enormity of the bloodshed.

And then today, after almost two years, they say Kasab to appeal in HC??? I feel like laughing my heart out for the lucky bastard who even after killing over 200 innocents and injuring more than that, is still alive in India, breathing Indian oxygen and eating Indian grain! Seems like Indian prisons are going short of criminals due to which they have started adopting every other criminal that comes and gets a safe shelter here. Why should there be law suite or any legal proceeding at all for him? Why should there be any wastage of time in hanging him to death? Why is Indian government so unfair to the innocents who died and their families who suffered the loss? Why can’t there be an exception in a rarest of rare case like this where abandoning all the proceedings, the monster is executed for his doings? Correct me if I am wrong or if I am going too much against the government but people expect visible results. There is no room for any patience or consolations any more.

Was reading news paper when the feeling cropped up so just couldn’t help yelling out. Once again I hope that things will improve and situations will change towards the justice.

Will now resume with the news.. you have a great time!

Chao!

Will there ever be an end??

Alright.. after pretty long time I've get back to Whatever today but there is something that is pestering my mind's peace so just couldn't resist logging in and start tapping my fingers on the keyboard. Its been 4-5 months am living in Pune and place, as I've seen, is pretty happening. Here, one would find highways, huge malls, heavy traffic, crowded places, great food joints, pubs & discos and everything that contributes towards the recipe of a highly commercialized and modern city in today's time! Pune is no less than a metro-city in itself. As a traditional weekend, I was out in the city today evening hanging out with friends. Roaming around, we reached the site of German Bakery where a bomb exploded just 3 weeks back. Its funny to see how soon things come back to normal as if nothing has happened. I received calls from friends and family confirming my well being, thanked God for all the safety he has always been providing me and continued watching the news and returned to my daily routine from next day. Perhaps this attitude only is taking us where we are going. Ask those who have been affected - in TAJ, in Oberoi, in Nariman House of Mumbai and now in German Bakery here in Pune.

According to the news reports, many people lost their lives in the blast and the site still recites the testimony for all of them. It was a completely ruined structure of bricks and cement which only appeared like an old, incomplete building if not a terrorists' victim! How easily does one incidence changes so many things. Place is taken over by police and policemen loaded with rifles stood through a long piece of the road! May be its just me who felt that or may be its that's true, but there was a peculiar kind of feeling in the air, kinda tensed one. I wasn't feeling very comfortable and as always, wanted to kill every bastard linked to these activities. All the whys and hows were back to my mind which crop up when any such thing happens. While I was already going in and out of these thoughts, the autowalas told that the way to lane 4 is closed as another bomb has been suspected in the vicinity. Now this forced me to think million times within myself.. What is the safety of life left here? You leave your home early in the morning and you never know whether you'll return or not! There is hardly anything these assholes think or care about save for their own selfish and without-any-direction goals. To what extent can the security be incorporated to make sure nothing of such kind happens? You miss one place and then see the consequences. The insecurity is rising and today, to me atleast, it went to a level more than I could take. I know that this is a temporary feeling, as we're happy till we're safe.

Well, I or rather most of us hardly have much to do about it. All we can do is forward a pray to God to satisfy and convince ourselves that somewhere, somehow, we are with all those who have been unnecessarily dragged into this dance of terrorism. So, I really really hope they get their part of justice and wish things get controlled and come to a halt soon before it gets too late.
God Bless All!
