Earth Hour Failure or Success

Wow the funda was good and I thank each n every person who participated in that.
At least it helped in saving some amount of electricity. At 8.30 pm on Saturday I could see lights turning of and more or it was quite successful in our neighborhood and the fact that it's not that hot helped a lot. People were quite happy to come out and get some air in the parks.

I took off on my bike just to see how it is to see the city in Darkness. To my surprise there was no Darkness at all. Thanks to big companies and shops, they were just happy to get along their daily business. This I thought would be ignorance of the fact that it's an earth hour. What surprised me the most or rather shocked me was the "Hoardings". Then I thought with money you can get away with anything. What I can't understand is that what specific use this hoardings has to society which can gobble up so much electricity.

A minimum of 6-7 neon bulbs for 12 hrs a day do eats away into the common man's power supply. But then, the so called common man dont have that much money I suppose. Why the government is so careless, why they cant categorize the use of electricity. Why they allow these useless advertisements to run away with power. May be the government itself is dependents on this MNC's for their cash crunched treasury. Still they do pass over the burden to the working class by hiking taxes, increasing price of basic commodities. More than anything why do people has to bear all these. Why can't they protest?(no body has time). Have they forgot that they do have rights or they dont want to remember that at all. No use I suppose, u read this, think for sometime and then leave it. All that we have to do is to adjust our budget, why bother getting into some complications by protesting. Carry on the world is as good as it seems but remember it will change and these bloody politicians will make sure that it changes. Enough of bothering, now get back to your work...

A Holiday that Was

Today it was holiday.. A perk for working in a Govt. firm....
Had a lunch party.. thanks to Raj.It was wonderful having all our office mates out of office enjoying..(we do enjoy in office too..)But this was a different feeling...

Lunch was quite heavy as usual Andhra Bhavan always fills up the tummy with it's spicy cuisines.Can't tell how badly I wanted to reach back home, just to drop down on my bed.. There wasn't much rush on the roads so it was all that I needed to get into 3 figures on the speedometer of my bike (I love my bike like anything, feel I can't live without it(I can say this coz I am still single ha ha ha))..Reached home in no time(12 minutes) and slept in even less time than that..

Feeling way to damn good.Not context based.. It's the song I am hearing more nowadays by my Favorite band Nickelback......BTW way liked Avatar a lot.. but I think I wud to stick to Madagascar Series or the Ice Age series regardless of whatever dimension they are created in.And on some boring day I wud even say I loved kungu Fu Panda....Today is not that boring but actually a good one...Thanks to almighty n some cute friends...

A Night That's Gonna Be

OMG.. Second time on my blog on de same day...
Am I on the wrong side of the time... dunno ..
After finishing my so called cycle of de day I reached home...
Mobile showed I have missed some calls...So needed to get back to them... Most of them called just like that...Why it always happen when I ride?? Whoever calls me how do they make sure I am on the bike.. Still no complaints at least they left their name on my screen more than that they remembered me.. but how the...leave that question...

So for the rest of the night, lemme think...As for de dinner all de curries are in the cool box...So will do with rice for cereals...So got myself some time to get free n post some more blunders in here..kinna actually liking this time... ya it's almost 8.00pm and Deccan Chargers and Chennai Super Kings are ready to kill some time for me...Poor bowlers... I think only test matches is where they can survive now(but not in India, I suppose)... Hayden's Mongoose is an hit I think, but the same Mongoose gave his wicket away in the previous game...enough of cricket...

Going to watch the latest 3d sensation.. not exactly the latest but latest on my PC...will tell how it was soon...
Signing of as of now...

A Day as it was n as it will be..

Was Kinna feeling I am a bit left out of my blog............
Was kind of engaged with things around me(Thanks to IPL that was keeping me busy but now when Delhi n Kolkatta have started losing matches I am more at ease with my blog..)
Still a hangover is left from my home trip.. hope it will cease soon...
Delhi as true to its name as it is getting hotter day by day...
Y'day ended up buying a windcheater to save myself from de hot waves(Not frequent but only when I ride).

The worst part being still is the process of reaching office.. Traffic sucks and I end up finding out all the non existent shortcuts to office(literally shortcut means saving time not distance). Taking a 9 km route is much better than a 5.5 km route in this busy Delhi traffic.. And guess what the problem doesn't get solved there. If I end up 5 minute late, my usual parking space goes for a ride.So until I end up @ my seat in office I am quite off.Then when I finally get to sit down, I can think of how I can reach home in the evening.. so this is a cyclic process only difference being nothing goes forward until the guy in front of me, moves out......Dunno how big is the vocabulary of people on road in case of swearing but mine is increasing day by day... Will update on that sooner or later...

Nothing's Changed

Nothing's changed.These were the words that I ushered in my heart when I got down at station.On my way home I cud see the cosmetic changes all around the places but the mentality of the people still remained same. I think I am far too speculative in expecting that things will change in a matter of 6 months. What change did I expected to see or whether really I wanted to see any change at all, I dunno. But I was damned happy that life is still slow back in my hometown. Slow not in the sense of development but slow in the terms of people's attitude towards the fast furious world outside.

There was an religious function at home and I was quite amused by the way people got involved in that. From kids to old, from family to neighbors and all people in the neighborhood, all were equally enthusiastic about the function. It has nothing to do with the religion other than that it is related to a ceremony in our family temple, what I am trying to portray is the culture and traditions associated with the function.

Kids n youngsters were the persons who were more into it with elderly person closely watching their deeds. They were all around the place encouraging things in a good manner. Glad that this generation back in our village is not glued to their Cell Phones and TV, its not that they didn't have them , it's that they know how to value things. Its a very close knit network where everyone knew everyone else. And most important was that people knew the difference between blind rituals and cultural tradition.

No matter how descriptive I try to be, the real thing can only be felt only if we were present there.But then I still have to try at least. This time things seems to give a broader perspective when I analyzed how small things can matter to you in your life. And by small things I meant the moments which we would have easily overseen when compared to materialistic benefits we get from it. If we go for a reason or cause then we can easily subdue their importance but once you forget comparing or reasoning you will amazed with the amount of happiness and satisfaction this moments has in store for you.

This time I didn't want things that I scribble in here to be anywhere near to be a travelogue coz I have wrote them enough. This time I just wanted it to be a simple reminder of what it actually means to be in the wilderness and simplicity of life.
