The Year 2009

Started with the BANG , I got layed off from my company on 7'th Jan because of recession.On the next day the Satyam bubble busted, market was really bad , My investments in the mutual fund were down by 70%. No interview calls for first few weeks. Days were bad.Luckily in last week of Jan I found a job in a start up.Joined here in February.
I learned lot in all aspects this year. My manager is the best Gentleman I have ever encountered in my life yet. So positive,so much successful at an young age, an opportunist, full of life & truly an inspiration for every one.Technically solved some of the complex things(Papal and financial gateways), got to work on some best architecture, got to know how start ups work & what is Angel investment, Venture capitalist, Business plans & all business aspects of a company on which it grows.
Had some great trips this year, as usual we went to Dive Agar & Raigad after monsoons that was great,Lohgad with my office colleagues,Went to Nagpur to Dhiru's wedding, I missed the Vijay's engagement but make the cup full when he'll get married.Went to some of the finest restaurants in town this year. Kwality,China Grill,Yellow Chilies, Malaka Spice,Haka........ to name a few.
Watched some of best movies, which was perfect.Some of things on the wish list came into reality this year, A cool Firefox cyclone(21 Gear power bike), LCD monitor for awesome experience in movie watching, Broadband connection at home.
All in all a happy year came to end with Offer from my previous company to join again in Jan.I really hope things will turn up great this year too.I really wish to get some more wish-list things to tun into reality this year.

Twists 2

It really went well, I really hope best in both ways, What I want to achieve in Life, I have few things in Mind , lets see how they turn up in forthcoming year.

Twists

"Eden Lake" was the really terror film for me in last few years, Really scary sometimes u just want to go away from the show.Not at all predictable most importantly the end,

You can't imagine this while watching it.Really surprising & worth a watch.

I have been to this situation 3 months back & again same thing occurred, This time I don't want to miss this opportunity.I am really bad in making decisions & pathetic in the Fights. I just get into tears when someone just raise their voice.Lets see how it goes tomorrow, really hope things will tun up great.

AVTAR in 3D

Wow,amazing,Enthralling, Out of the imagination!!! You can not even describe the feelings when you leave the hall after watching this masterpiece from the legend James Cameron, the sculptor behind Terminator 2 & Titanic.It was one the best experience at the movies i had till date.Simple story executed brilliantly by this genius. Fortunately i booked the show in advance so that i witnessed this MAN MADE MARVEL today . I was trilled by witnessing the gem he has created.
The best part of the movie as per me is the whole movie :)> Even from the first minute you just fell into this imaginary thing & it never looses its charm. 3D experience was the cherry on the cake , I have seen UP 3 months back but you can not even compare this with any one, the colors, atmosphere on pandora the greenery , the floating mountains, the battle , I can go on writing each & every thing. I will watch this one again for sure & If you are planing for this one please watch this in Hall & definitely in 3D.
Films like this are rarely happen & we must do our part which is to adore people like Cameron & Salute their talent which gives us the one of the best movie experiences one can have.
I am really bad in terms of remembering BirthDays & this time i missed my Buddy's B'day i felt really bad when i realized this at the end of the day.We had a great time all day long as usual Great food,Coffee & our Discussion on everything, almost everything :)

Marley & Me

Just watched this really family film, By family I mean all parts story, screenplay,background score, dialogues just too good.Story was really simple , a couple adopts a worst dog ever who can't keep quite for a single minute & how their lives are changed after that event.Owen Wilson & Jeniffer Aniston did fantastic job as lead actors.
I really wanted to read this book when i saw that 2 years back all the time on Amazon's Bestseller list but couldn't get the copy & afterwords i just forgot about this,but i can say i am really lucky that film adaption was superb.
I have read "The Kite Runner" & watched the film by the same name but if you ask my opinion books are far better than movies as they just create an illusion in front of you.When you watch film you are seeing picture from the directors point of view.
Well I almost cried at the end , where the dog decides to go out of house in his last days.A true friend, a relation which is totally based on the love, which is really impossible with Humans, Each relationship has some expectations even the blood one too.

FlipKart

Encountered with website few days back, UI looks great, shopping cart is really interactive & after reading lot of review finally ordered a book,"The Road by Cormac Mccarthy", that was in stock & expected time for delivery was 2-3 days, to my pleasant surprise book arrived in time & nicely packed & on top of that I got the big discount plus free shipping.I was bit afraid for on-line shopping but after this nice experience i find FlipKart as the best option for buying Books.
You get the best discounts,free shipping & best customer support from these guys as a result i have ordered the 2 new books 2 days back "Stay Hungry Stay Foolish by Rashmi Bansal" and "Missed IIT by Neeraj Chabia"

Mobiles..........

Because of the price war between telephone operators the services are getting more cheaper these days , I remember the time , precisely 2'nd year of my engg, cellphones were new to us & incoming was 3 Rs/min , only few rich parents allowed their kids the mobile phones, Mr Belsare i really enjoyed your classes when few people would start the ringtones & you were all puzzled whats going on?. Nokia 3310 was the best phone at that time, even you had that simplest mobile with just snake game in it, you were in the elite group, We used to get in queue to play SNAKE ion that in our hostel. Things changes drastically when Reliance jumped into the market & incoming became free, Color screen handsets were the new craze .If you had a flap you were something at that time & the, all cool features came like bluetooth, GPRS, GPS, EDGE(Still not fully activated yet..)
Airtel used to charge 20 Rs/Day for the SADIAL speed. Now most of the networks are 3G ready so GPRS rates are down by a huge margin, 1 MB/1 Rs. I just experienced the TATA DOCOMO GRRS , its really worth , speed you get is 460 KBPS, which is pretty fine compared to other network standards. If you are using the Internet for only mail, blogs,search then definitely go for the GPRS packs from the operators. I hope these will come down as EDGE will give speed upto 3 GBPS, normal GPRS rates has to to come down significantly once its in fully ready stage.

Gym Facts.

I have a Gym in my office building,on 3'rd floor, most of the health conscious people come with their branded stuff(Car, Branded track Suite,A food supplement bottle,.....), They get out from their car & go straight to lift. I really feel sorry for them, c'on guys U are going to exercise for next 1 hour, then why not give a small warm-up by using stairs, but No i have paid the money so I'll use all facilities.
I strongly believe in walking, Everyday if you take 20 minutes walk, there should not be any need of all this Hype unless you are in show business where your life depends on your physique.

How Women Are !!!!!

This is one the cool email i received in last week


गेल्या आठवड्यापासून मेली माझी दाढ दुखू लागली आणि आयुष्यात पहिल्यांदा मी दाताच्या डॉक्टरची पायरी चढले. रिसेप्शनमध्ये बसले होते, तर सहज नजर डॉक्टरांच्या डिग-यांच्या सटिर्फिकेटांवर गेली. त्यांचं पूर्ण नाव वाचून मी तर गारच पडले. नंदकिशोर प्रधान... म्हणजे आमच्या शाळेतल्या वर्गाचा हीरो. गोरा गोरा, उंचापुरा, कुरळ्या केसांचा राजबिंडा मुलगा. आता खोटं कशाला सांगू, माझ्यासकट त्या वर्गातली प्रत्येक मुलगी मरत होती नंदूवर. या वयात छातीची धडधड वाढलीच माझ्या...

... आत गेले आणि नंदूला पाहून चाटच पडले. डोक्यावरचे केस मागे हटले होते. लहानपणचे गोबरे गाल आता फुगून गोल गोल झाले होते. पोट सुटलं होतं. निळे डोळे चष्म्याआड झाकले गेले होते. तरीही त्याचा रूबाब कायम होता.

त्याने मात्र मला ओळखलं नव्हतं. तपासणी झाल्यावर मीच त्याला विचारलं, 'लहानपणी तुम्ही आपटे प्रशालेत होतात का?'

' हो.''

' दहावी कधी झालात? सिक्स्टी सिक्सला का?'

' अगदी बरोबर! पण, तुम्हाला कसं कळलं?'

' अहो, तुम्ही माझ्या वर्गात होतात,' सांगताना मी चक्क लाजलेच...

... तर तो टकल्या, ढापण्या, ढोल्या, थेरडा नंद्या विचारतो कसा, 'कोणता विषय शिकवायचात तुम्ही मॅडम!!!'

Something Funny

I just remembered few incidents which happened 5-6 months back but they are still fresh on my Mind.We were at our Managers House, This is the best house I have ever visited till date, Mystro society NIBM Pune, 8’t Floor. Duplex flat & Swimming pool on roof, All musical instruments in Hall, a Big aquarium giving the extra essence to whole environment & best part was the Theater room. Well I saw a big plasma i thought this will be a fun to watch but infact I saw a movie on a projector & real screen ,the sitting arrangement is better than INOX, Be live me the sound system was that good that the place crashing i almost witnessed in that room.
Well here comes the funny part. I went into the washroom & I was really amazed by all the royal look of it, I thought I have closed the door but that wasn’t closed. I was peeing & suddenly the door opened & then I was like what the Fuck just happened to me ? Thank god that was not the House Lady , a big relief for me, She was my colleague from the office . I felt pretty embarrassed whole day. I was unable to make eye contact with her next few days , How could I?

I have just watched the Knocked Up, it was really funny. I mean the male lead played by a big, fat, clumsy guy , who happen to make a gorgeous, pretty & very much sexy lady pregnant by accident of course both get drunk & we know the rest.In between there is an incident in which The girl’s sister was too bossy to her Husband who is really smart & too good for her. Well these 2 guys meet & get drunk again. Then our fat guy asks him how could you adjust with bossy wife of yours , He replies I can’t take my wife’s love anymore, that is too much for me. On the coins next side The fat guy’s problem is Her pregnant girl does not like him anymore. He says I never thought I’ll have sex with someone like her in my wildest dream & that happened to me , I feel lucky but we are screwed from either ways, I want acceptance & you are sick of that. Well I have no idea how marriages work but after this 2 hours of fun I am bit scared of the same.

Films & Films

Super action & great performances by all, It makes you feel like you are watching the Bourne Series. Loved it.

Into The Wild
First 30 minutes were pretty boring then really superb film , makes you really think on what you really need in life & at what costs.
The Bank Job & Crank
These days I like Jason Statham, Most of my friends says i look like him(Bald :)).
