			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>This is one of the ways you make your point. But just wanna quote that there are different other normal and better ways to make your point. Before I jump to narrate my better point, let me explain this Subject headline.</p>
<p>&#8220;Attention Please&#8230;I&#8217;m here&#8221;</p>
<p>Consider a weak person, who hasn&#8217;t made any impact on his society or to his fellow colleagues, want to make his point or wanna grab the attention of others around him and pathetically for getting a chance. The worst and the short  cut way for him to serve his purpose is just shout or crib others or boot lick others.</p>
<p>My point here is , I&#8217;m not the person whom i have described above and  I would like to convey to my friends, near and dear, that please don&#8217;t persuade me to become like that for getting any mean opportunity.</p>
<p>If you consider or have the concern that I&#8217;m losing something just because of the fact that I&#8217;m not raising my voice for getting my opportunity, especially to those who don&#8217;t have the consideration for what I&#8217;m is, just have this reply to you that &#8220;I&#8217;m not a loser and this is not the end of life&#8221;. If I&#8217;m not recognized or given opportunity, I just have the same feeling for them, that they are not the one who is going to change my life.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t want to mention the names, but it would be appropriate if I could just mention them here, those who are living for achieving their for their own benefits by keeping a Artificial smile and same all good words of fake appreciations thrown at their subordinates when they think that it’s time to feed the birds. I realized this very late and I don&#8217;t have the regrets that I also fell on their clutches at least for once.</p>
<p>But I have made up my mind that I&#8217;m not going to anyone and beg on anything, giving due respect to those words passed on to me by fellow well wishers. At last it’s not the end of your life or beginning of anything. It’s just an opportunity that I am eligible for. If everyone would have waited for an opportunity in his life, there wouldn&#8217;t be any great persons who touches common man’s life.</p>
<p>&#8220;Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging.&#8221; &#8211; Joseph Campbell. I&#8217;m in search of this&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Never felt before like this. I feel like my life is going nowhere. And this is for the first time I&#8217;m getting impacted by a global crisis. Added to that my profession helps to make my condition worse everyday. Its a mechanical day for me, not just today, but its the same for the past 2 weeks.</p>
<p>I really don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;m heading towards. Hopes that miracles happen and good time will come followed by these bad days. Till then going to the state of self distraction. Yes trying to get rid of these thoughts what I&#8217;m expressing here and as a first step I&#8217;m going for a pilgrimage. I booked the tickets for my parents also, so that i can meet them for a while. Even they are feeling lonely these days. All their kids are away from them.</p>
<p>Can&#8217;t understand it completely, but my mom was telling this to me yesterday that its 10 years that my elder bro started living away from them. He went for engineering studies and from that day onwards very few months he was there in the home. Nowadays very few visits. All are busy, added to that he is far away now when compared to the place where he studied his engineering.</p>
<p>Yesterday I thought of going home. May be strange, but true to my heart, I felt this because of two reasons:</p>
<p>1. What  I&#8217;m going to do this weekend?</p>
<p>2. I felt bad after checking the Lunch menu in the food court. The same old dishes and i was feeling damn hungry. But my thoughts went to home, were i could get good food at any time i need. Also I have the option for having any dish rather than just picking any from the repetitive dishes of Food court.</p>
<p>I checked for the train tickets and it was in waiting list, can&#8217;t even have a slight hope of getting any seat. That idea got cancelled then and there itself. Again the bad time is patting on my back very badly. Now planning to go for a long vacation. Let me see this time my vice profession won&#8217;t give me any more surprises from the box and won&#8217;t make me hold back by showing glittering gold.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><span>Yesterday evening i saw the movie &#8220;<span>SlumDog</span> millionaire&#8221; and to tell as an intro this is not a review of the movie and i just want to tell to my friend sorry that I&#8217;m not a  good person to give movie reviews, may be i can excel in code reviews <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  . He asked during the interval of the movie ( even though there is no interval in the original print, the projectionist added a Interval slide in between) <span>howz</span> the movie and actually he used the word what is your review about the movie, as if I&#8217;m <span>Rajeev</span> <span>masand</span> whose opinion is considered by most of the people before they go to cinema theatres.</span></p>
<p><span>Oh, I should  tell this, my favourite scene in the movie was when the <span>Memmon</span>(who sends the kids for begging in the <span>mumbai</span> streets.I don&#8217;t know whether <span>im</span> spelling the correct name here) asks <span>jamal</span> (childhood of the hero) to sing the song &#8220;<span>Darshan</span> do&#8221; after giving h<span>im</span> the inspiration to become professional. Kid start singing the song and when he completes the two words, he asks <span>Memmon</span> to give 50Rs and give h<span>im</span> the reason that he is a professional. The best scene in the movie and involuntarily i started clapping along with others.</span></p>
<p><span>The scene where <span>jamal</span> guides the tourists in <span>taj</span> <span>mahal</span> and gives some funny explanations is too good. Over all the movie is enjoyable and it truly depicts the condition of the <span>mumbai</span> city. i didn&#8217;t enjoy that much, the scenes where <span>jamal</span> goes in search of his childhood friend <span>latika</span> and where <span>Salims</span> kills <span>Memon</span> using a revolver. This is not something common in India where kids, especially kids in slums get a Revolver. That was something exaggerated i should say and may be the director/script writer(Indian) used his western culture to create that particular incident.</span></p>
<p><span>And as somebody told its not an extraordinary movie, its a typical <span>bollywood</span> movie. I agree  to that, but it just got this fame because this is not a <span>bollywood</span> , but its an international movie, created by international crew. So no wonder it got this much fame. But i should appreciate the effort the crew especially the camera man, when he creates that perfect shots, by showing the kids travelling by sitting on the shock absorber where the compartments of the train is connected. Were the shots in which slums are shown in an aerial view,  perfectly showing the beautiful <span>tajmahal</span> through the camera. What made this movie different from the normal <span>bollywood</span> movie from my point of view is</span></p>
<p>1. There is no Item no: , that u can see atleast one per movie in most of the bollywood movies.</p>
<p><span>2.Exceptional camera work and showing those parts of <span>mumbai</span> cities life.</span></p>
<p>3. And for a bollywood movie to show the same story will take a minimum of 3 hrs where Danny managed it to make 2 hours and that too not missing core theme of the movie. Its pretty much covered in this short span.</p>
<p><span>I would recommend go and watch the movie at least once in the cinemas or else you are going to miss the background score of A.R.<span>Rahman</span> which is too good in the first scenes where the cops chase the kids. Also the title song of the  movie is catchy.</span></p>
<p>Just wants to qoute these notes here, which i prefer while watching a movie in Theatre.</p>
<p><span>1. I don&#8217;t encourage comments while watching the movie, especially while the movie is going on. Please don&#8217;t ask me review or opinion. i came to enjoy, not for analysis.</span></p>
<p>2. I prefer to watch the movie from the starting, right from where the certificate of the movie is shown.</p>
<p><span>3.I don&#8217;t want to miss any dialogues in the movie, which most of the time I misses when some near me ask me about the last dialogue. Most annoying.</span></p>
<p>4. Mobile phone ringing and their flashlights.</p>
<p>You are there for enjoying the movie and most of the time you are watching the movie for the first time in the cinema. So enjoy to the full extend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Raj Travels &#8211; <span class="pron">(Raj tr<img src="http://img.tfd.com/hm/GIF/abreve.gif" alt="" align="absBottom" />v<img src="http://img.tfd.com/hm/GIF/prime.gif" alt="" align="absBottom" /><img src="http://img.tfd.com/hm/GIF/schwa.gif" alt="" align="absBottom" />l) &#8211; means</span></p>
<p>1. Travel service which offers you a horrible experience</p>
<p>2. one person or  a group/organisation which does Day light cheating</p>
<p>I think this one is the correct dictionary meaning if raj travels is added in Oxford Dictionary or at least any local dictionary. The first and last time travel in Raj travels, which gave a whole new experience in my travel history. Starting from the Online booking till when I got down from the bus. As mentioned in my previous blog, i here by dedicate this blog to Raj travels.</p>
<p>My friend gave me this idea of travelling in Raj travels from bangalore to mumbai as its a night journey and when compared to the train journey which takes more than 22hrs and that too day journey,travel in bus is good. So i booked the ticket from Bangalore to  Chembur as i was asked by the travels customer care to book till chembur which is one of their boarding point and its easy to goto thane from there. So I used their Online Booking option. The website was looking good and itinerary was from Bangalore to Pune and then Pune to Mumbai. I booked the ticket to and fro and i got the seat somewhere on the middle window seat(5A), except for the journey to Mumbai, which was on the back(8A)</p>
<p>To my surprise when paid 2500Rs and found the travel itinerary, all the seats where shown as the same seat i got for Bangalore to Mumbai(8A). I didnt care about that as i thought their records will show the correct one and i&#8217;ll get the seat that i booked.</p>
<p>The bus started from Bangalore at correct time at 4:30PM and the bus was not that good as shown in the website. It was not maintained properly also. I expected at least a small water bottle , but my expectations were exceeded when they gave single blanket for both the passengers sitting together. No water,not even proper service. On the way i managed to buy one bottle of water when i had dinner. Only one good service that they provided to the guys at least was at around 10Pm they stopped somewhere on the way and almost all the guys got down to go for a pee. Wow my good time on the travel. It was so funny that every guy was showing their back to the passengers in the bus and hearing to the nature&#8217;s call.Even i was their among the crowd  who were hearing to the call. For a moment i thought of the difficulty the ladies might have experienced in a long journey like this in such a crap bus.The AC in the bus was ok, not that good but.</p>
<p>Luckily the other guy sitting near me had a Jacket and i was able to use the blanket most of the time at night. The bus was supposed to reach Mumbai around 9 or 9.30 but reached late. I was supposed to get down at chembur and after i passed Pune i called my bro to give him my status. Once again Raj travels showed their good service by telling me that, they can&#8217;t go to Diamond garden, chembur where my bro was waiting with uncle and they told they will stop near some bridge. I called my bro and gave the phone to cleaner so that he could tell my bro the exact place he have to pick me. Everything went well and they dropped me somewhere.</p>
<p>Again to my surprise, oh, how many surprises that Raj travels give you in the journey, just like the reward points that earn using ur credit card, they dropped me somewhere else from the place which they communicated to my bro and that too more than 1 hr late. Good time management, it was ok with me when compared to travel in train. At last i had to go to the place where my brother was waiting by taking an auto as i couldn&#8217;t help him find my location. Need of GPS <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><em>Return trip</em></strong>: The amazing one, when i took the decision, that even if Raj travel sponsor me a trip free to Switzerland i&#8217;m not going to use their service. Me and my bro was waiting for the bus at andheri, don&#8217;t remember the exact name of the place, but i remember it was near to Bal thackeray&#8217;s house(Shiv Sena leader). The arrival time of the bus was around 2.30Pm and it came after 3Pm. Fine fine, KC you need to suffer all these, because you paid for it.Ah ha, again a surprise before the bus took; My seat(5A) is occupied by a fair girl and when i asked she showed me her ticket. Multiple booking for the same seat. Internet, Online booking and I hate myself when considering me as a Software engineer who creates these kind of bugs in the application and defying the customers by giving a good look to the page. Ok let me check the seat (8A) which shown in the ticket. Great there was sitting a married lady with her kid. Kid was sitting in my seat. This happened for other passengers also who boarded from the same place.Next target, kick the **s of cleaner. He was a such dump that he was blaming the travel booking agencies and travels itself. Great act of escape!!!</p>
<p>Man now were will i sit, cleaner  seat or the luggage area of the bus? Some body e lse of the travel  agency managed to find a free space in the bus for me which was an aisle seat. Man you are going to travel in that seat till bangalore sitting in the aisle, looking at who all are getting down and who all are boarding the bus. Cool good entertainment. No words now. Anyhow i got a seat and I told bye to my bro. The bus left it was already more than  1 hr late.</p>
<p>We reached Pune around 7-8Pm. Funny thing happened then. One guy who was sitting two to three seats behind me came to me and told that it was his place. Cool.. What can i tell now other than the whole drama that he saw. So he was also was asked to adjust somewhere in the Bus. After 2 to 3 stops in pune i got a window seat and shifted their on the belief that i can tell some story to the owner of that seat, if he is boarding somewhere. But till i reached bangalore no one came and asked for that seat. This time i got a separate blanket. Good it&#8217;s correct that Mumbai is richest city than Bangalore. They  managed to get separate blankets now.</p>
<p>The proposed time of arrival at bangalore was around 8.30Am, but; no im not going to repeat that word here again, i reached there at 11.30Am. Oh man how will i reach office and work, because I have to take another bus to Mysore now from Bangalore. I took another Volvo from Bangalore to Mysore and i reached my home at 3.30PM. After that i managed to goto office at 5.00Pm and worked till late night.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>28-Dec-2008 03:00PM Mumbai &#8211;&gt; 29-Dec-2008 03:30PM Mysore.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Now im thinking whether it would have taken this much time if board a flight to Newyork from Mumbai or a train from Mumbai to Mysore. No, Only Raj travels can offer you a Happy and Safe journey like which i felt,travelling all the east-west-north-south places of India in a 24hr + travel. Isn&#8217;t it cool.</p>
<p>I really would love to give a star rating for Raj travels out of 5, but none of the stars are turning up when they hear the word Raj Travels. I&#8217;ll give eggs instead of stars then. One Egg for  Raj travels. Happy journey!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Its on last Monday (12-Jan- 2009  ), I was waiting for bus to office at around 9Am. I  didn&#8217;t get any bus to office after for more than 10 mins. Then my friend and his room mate came and was planning to go by auto. I asked them to wait for 5 more mins. Meanwhile one bus stopped at the bus stop which was not ours and i didn&#8217;t notice the passenger&#8217;s who were getting down from the bus. After some 15-20 sec i saw this man standing in the bus stand and had some problem. He was blind and he had his stick with him. Then my friend called me to go by auto. I told my friend to wait and went to this guy. I asked him where he wanted to go and he told me that he wanted to got postal office, which was there opposite to this bus stand. I helped him in crossing and while we were crossing the road he was asking me in Hindi, whether i had my breakfast. I told him that I&#8217;ll have it at office and I asked him back about his breakfast and he told me he had. He asked me to take him till the gate of the post office. I took him there and asked him whether its fine. he told ok, but still he had to take more steps to reach the door of the office and there were steps also. So i took him till the door and told bye to him. I felt very good when i did a help to that guy before i started my work. I felt very good when my day started by doing some help to that guy.  But i felt little bad when i couldn&#8217;t help in the purpose for which he came to post office. Hope he could complete his purpose at the post office without any hassles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>My Mumbai visit from 25th to 28-December 2008.</p>
<p>Thinking about the trip,its second best trip in 2008.In Mumbai by brother (Vishnu) stays with my Mom&#8217;s Elder sister and Husband. He is working in L&amp;T Infotech. The timing was good since my cousin&#8217;s were also there.They had come to India for Christmas vacation from US. Cousin&#8217;s- mom&#8217;s elder sister&#8217;s Son (santosh- we call him Santu,thotta,bcoz he is more than 6 foot)  and Daughter(Padmaja &#8211; we call her seema) along with Son&#8217;s Kid(Vihaan- he recentlycelebrated his 1 year birthday) and wife(Veena- meeting her for the first time after their marriage).</p>
<p>The worst part was the travel from bangalore to Mumbai and back to bangalore in Raj Travel&#8217;s volvo. For those who are planning to travel in Raj travels I advice you not to jump into that adventure as they have a poor service and normally you won&#8217;t be getting the seat that you booked online. To your surprise chances are there that there can be two or more owners for the seat number. Otherwise the long weekend was awesome. I&#8217;ll talk about my Raj Travel&#8217;s experience later in the blog. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I was so happy when i started from Bangalore @ 4PM, since at 2.30PM i passed my external certifications with flying colors, obviouslywith the help of the dumps/cramp sheets.I got a whooping 94% and I was in a hurry to get back to majestic since it was already getting late for the bus. I had a meal from KFC and took an auto to goto the Raj travels stop which was merely a 10 mins walk from KFC.  I didn&#8217;t know that until the Auto driver was so happy when i told him the place.</p>
<p>I was supposed to get down @ Chembur garden&#8217;s in Mumbai, where my Uncle (I call him Valiachan) and brother was waiting. The good service provided by the driver and the cleaner of the bus helped me a lot that they dropped me somewhere else by telling some crap reasons of traffic. Meanwhile i called my brother and told him the place that the driver planning me to kick out. They dropped me near to an over-bridge, and that was a junction where vehicles where coming from all the directions. My bro called me and asked me the exact position and i  told that  what i can was see was a over-bridge, a traffic island and a HP Turbojet hoarding in the bridge with a Sardarji&#8217;s pic.He was asking whether i can see this ad that ad and all which i tried to see till my sight reaches, but didn&#8217;t see anything. Then I came to know that they were on some other end and I&#8217;m on the other end of Mumbai. Not too bad , my first step on Mumbai alone. I waited there for more than half an hour i suppose and ultimately took  an auto and went to the place where my bro was waiting( My bro was giving directions to the Auto driver).</p>
<p>Ultimately i found them out, instead of they finding me, after all waiting for half an hour and thinking about the long bill from airtel for lavish usage of the mobile while roaming. One more good thing happened was that i forgot to take the new Nokia charger and it was having less than 20% charge. Nobody at mumbai was having that small pin new nokia charger. So i switched off my mobile for all three days in mumbai.</p>
<p>When i opened the car door i saw my cousin Sister siting with that big frame goggles, which my bro describes as the windscreen of Volvo buses. I was so happy to see her after a long time. I think when she saw me she called &#8220;hi thavalle(means- hi frog, my nickname that they used to call) &#8221; or &#8220;hi kisha&#8221;(people in kerala finds easy way to call some difficult names which they find will cost more saliva for them to be wasted, names like Krishnan, which they pronounce as &#8220;kishan&#8221;, like Prabhakaran = Pakaran,Padmanabhan=pappan). She was asking about journey and all and i was telling that i didn&#8217;t brush my teeth so I&#8217;ll answer to all once i reach home and brush. Valiachan was driving and he was asking me what you want for lunch, usual questions like Chicken or Fish. I told him that since i get chicken a lot in Mysore i prefer Mutton. Dhim. Asked for a wish and i gave him a task. He tried to find out a meat stall somewhere but couldn&#8217;t find that time. So he promised to get that before i leave there.</p>
<p>We reached Uncle&#8217;s house at around11.30Am and everyone was waiting for me to have their breakfast. I met Veena and Vihaan for the first time. Vihaan was having his breakfast. I engaged myself dor half an hour in the rest room and came out for the breakfast.  I was feeling so fresh and hungry to eat anything. Valiamma (Mom&#8217;s elder sister) prepared dosa and Vazhakka appam(Its a typical kerala sweet prepared using Maida flour,sugar and banana).  Vihaan was playing around. After breakfast we were planning for the next 3 days. Suddenly came the plan to watch the movie &#8220;Ghajhni (starring Aamir khan and Asin)&#8221; which was released the same day. My brother called his friend&#8217;s sister working in PVR cinema&#8217;s and booked the tickets.</p>
<p>Vihaan was not feeling well, he had loose motion and slight fever. So we Santu and Veena planned to take him to Doctor and Valiachan was planning to take them to doctor in his car (Hyundai-i10). Smelling the opportunityi asked him to rest and told him that I&#8217;ll drive the car. Vishnu came along with us and Santu and vishu gave me the name in the title of the blog &#8211; &#8220;RAMU&#8221; (Common name of driver in Hindi cinema&#8217;s). Fine, i didn&#8217;t bother as far I&#8217;m getting my first chance to drive in Mumbai&#8217;s 3- 4 lane roads in good traffic. They were asking whether the car is cleaned and all. Veena was little bit scared since she didn&#8217;t know my driving experience. Santu also had but didn&#8217;t show that much.  Veenawas asking whether she has to drive as she has experience in driving alone in US for long hours. The only problem with both veena and santuwas that they are not familiar with driving a manual gear transmission vehicle as their car in US was an automatic one.My bro was telling that she knows to drive but not that experienced and not interested. So finally their Ramu only have the privilege to drive.</p>
<p>Who drives in Mumbai&#8217;s big road at 40KM/hr in a brand new car with 5 speed gears? Whenever i get a straight road with less traffic i used to go till 90km/hr at a stretch and since the most of the vehicles were obeying lane rules it was so easy to drive since u didn&#8217;t have to get feared about somebody suddenly jumping the lane.</p>
<p>We reached the clinic and my bro was guiding me in finding the way while I was driving. I met Veena&#8217;s  younger brother Abhishek there at the clinic as he joined us there and we were there at the clinic for more than one hour. After that we went for a small shopping and went to Veena&#8217;s home. Veena&#8217;s elder sister&#8217;s son was playing with other kids there. My brother is a good friend of him and they were playing combat games there. Veena&#8217;s mom served some sweets which i think i ate the whole stuff. They were very friendly and Veena was introducingme to her dad and Sis. We went some time there and we left there with her Sis and son. We dropped them at their house where we met Veena&#8217;s Jeeju. Then all the way back to home i was enjoying the drive and there was a place where we had to take an &#8220;U turn&#8221; to got out apartment. I was waiting in the traffic to take it and i remember i took the right most place in that junction to make sure that no body else can take the right space,making it easy for me to immediately take U -Turn. When the traffic was less after around 20 secs i took the right turn and immediately saw something on my right near to my side mirror. Breaaaakkkk&#8230;. Oh it was an auto. It took the U turn keeping a distance with our car within inches. Oops. i was sure that nothing happened to the car , but Veena and Santu got scared, thinking about the after effects of that. And i did a mistake there by asking veena who was sitting behind me ,the question&#8221;did you see that auto-rickshaw?&#8221;. Gone, y i asked that stupid question, which in turn dig my own grave till the date i came back. Santu was always making fun of me with that dialogue. When we reached the flat i checked the car and made sure that not even a small scratch was there.</p>
<p>Valiamma was preparing chicken curry and after sometime Santu&#8217;s friends came. I should say common friends of seema,veena and santu. I didn&#8217;tknow them that much and i was little busy with booking flight tickets for my parents and sister to come to mumbai for my sister&#8217;s to join TCS. After that we had a dinner and after a eventful night we went to bed.</p>
<p>Next day(26-Dec-2008 ) the day we planned to go for movie. Veena cancelled her plan to come for movie as Vihaan was not feeling well. Morning me and Valiachan went to market by bike and he bought some fish and vegetables. On the way he showed me their old house in vartak nagar.We came back and I took bath and when i got ready lunch was ready with fish fry. Perfect timing and Superbdish!!!.We had our lunch and took the car to goto PVR cinema&#8217;s. We, means Me,Vishnu,Santu and Seema. It was a little long trip  and i enjoyed it very well. We reached Nirmal Lifestyle mall and went straight to PVR and took the tickets by quoting my bro&#8217;s friend&#8217;s sister&#8217;s name. But we got front seats. Afterwards he met her and whe adjusted the seats so that we got the back row. Special thanks for her help. Sorry i don&#8217;t remember here name now. Movie was good also the ice cream which me and santu bought from Basking and Robbins and we returned back to home. Bro ordered some food from outside and to be honest it was not  good. Veena&#8217;s parent&#8217;s visited the house along with Abhishek and we all had the supper together. We had a nice time even though sometimes for me it was difficult to understand when they switch the language from hindi to marathi. Not much events happened that day but the time I spent with them was cherishing moments for me.That night we came to know that there wont electricity supply next morning to the flat as there is some electrical maintenance work planned. That time itself we planned to go outside and Veena wanted to stay with her parents. We planned for some shopping.</p>
<p>Morning(27-Dec-2008 ) we got early since the planned time for power off was 8.30AM. We got ready and left Valiamma and valiachan alone at home.Before we left Seema gifted me the Digital Photo frame that she bough for me after seeing my craze towards taking pictures.i couldn&#8217;t explore it that time as we were getting ready to go outside.We went to Nirmal lifestyle again for shopping and it was mainly planned for santu to take some clothes for himself, but it ultimately turned that me and bro took  jeans which santu payed. We didn&#8217;t buy anything much and went to Mcdonald&#8217;s to take our lunch. We had a nice time sitting there and chatting having some Burger and finger cheips. Some nostalgic moments about our childhood while santu was commenting that he didnt expect all of us to be there at Mumbai and driving and sitting like that in a restaurant. We spent some good time there and went to pick veena from her home. Meanwhile Santu wanted to play cricket( he is having a son and he want to play cricket now in Mumbai roads..). Anyway we got Abhishek to play with us and immediately santu bought a Cricket bat and ball from near by shop. We started playing in one of the lane opposite to veena&#8217;s house. Only crap rule which made my game difficult. you have to bowl underarm.It was difficult for me to do that, since i was playing after a long time and it was difficult for me to trace the ball when its thrown underarm. Me and santu a team and my bro and abhishek in the other team. Me and santu  terribly lost all the game except one, where in all the matches Santu played well and i got out with either one run or most of the times duck.</p>
<p>It was all sweating and me and brother had plans to goto my Dad&#8217;s younger brother staying soe 5kms away from Valiachan&#8217;s house. After the game me and he went there and spend around half an hour at their house, since they were planning to goto temple. We came back to Veena&#8217;s house, by that time veena prepared the Mutton curry that we were planning to prepare at Valiachan&#8217;s home after getting back there. As it was getting late, she prepared it at her house and we took the whole pressure cooker and other item&#8217;s in the car to Valiachan&#8217;s house. Cool we had a very good supper, but santuwas not there as he had a get together with his friends. I took out my gift and checked it. It was too good and i liked it very much. Thanks Seema for gifting me the photo frame.After the supper we watched a malayalam movie &#8220;Katha Parayumbol&#8221;(Telling the story) which was  nice film with a good story and good touchy scenes and dialogues. We went to our bed.</p>
<p>Net day me and bro was planning to goto my Dad&#8217;s elder brother at Andheri and catch the bus to bangalore from there. So i packed everything and got ready by around 10Am. It is the toughest time when you have to say bye to everyone and leave them. Veena took the camera and started taking snaps. Vihaanwas one my hand as he liked to go out with anyone. After taking all the pics, he vomited. Poor guy he controlled it till we took all the snaps. It was too touching and i felt more bad when i left him.My brother took valiachan&#8217;s bike and we started travelling towards andheri. After around 1 and half hour we reached there spent some time with them had a good lunch and left  home. Brother was there with me till the bus came and my Mumbai trip was over.</p>
<p>Very short duration but enjoyed each and every minute in those 3 days, enjoyed being the Driver with name &#8220;Ramu&#8221;, enjoyed having homely food, enjoyed having a good time with Vihaan, enjoyed playing cricket, watching movie, slipping into some nostalgic moments and getting embarrassed thinking about childhood behaviour. Over all it was a good time which i spend with all the people i met and i hope I&#8217;ll get a chance to meet all of them again with the same mood of vacation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>&#8220;Betta(son) Raj.</p>
<p>Raj Betta are you there?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry betta. All are killed.</p>
<p>Yes the NSG commandos from Bihar and Delhi regiment killed all the Terrorists who attacked your land of Maharashtra. You can call your Sena lads to beat them and get rid of them from your holy land where people can live peacefully and harmoniously under your rule.</p>
<p>Come out betta from your neighbour&#8217;s bathroom. You are safe now. You can either call for a drama rally to make your people feel comfortable. Or else create one more tense situation where you hit those Bihari panwala&#8217;s and all. &#8220;</p>
<p>I wonder where this guy and Vanar sena was hiding when the whole mumbai was under the attack of the terrorists and they were brutally killing people. He who  promises a safe life for his marathi people, was itself hiding in this tensed situation. I wonder why he didn&#8217;t send his Vanar sena to beat the Bihari NSG commandos when they were doing the rescue operation. Or is he having a plan to do this once his fellow country men are safe. More than 150 people are killed and what he and his sena has done to comfort the relatives of the dead. Or is he still thinking to ask the north Indians to go out of his state. Or he is trying to expand his rage out there to the south Indians also from whom people like Sandeep sacrificed his life for others life.</p>
<p>If you are going to continue the same again you should be even considered one among the other who attacked India in the past 3 days. If you are going to do the same again , then you are those type who dont have a spine to stand up and who just lives with the label of &#8220;good for nothing&#8221; .</p>
<p>When the country needs a situation where every one need to be united, i beg you to please support this campaign to avoid such of kind of outside attacks. To stop this you people need to think about stopping creating the rage between the Indian people. i hope you understand this and you will do the same to avoid a situation  where you have will be hiding inside the bathroom of a Bihari.</p>
