Always feels good to meet old friends anytime

Friends a part of life, a part of your happiness and sadness. The word is so good to here whenever you are sad or happy. It always leaves wonderful time when you meet your old friends. Thinking of life without friend is just life without breathe.

Last weekend as I got the holiday for 3 days for holi I have made plan to go to my home town and hang out with friends. Watching a cricket match first time in the stadium was one of the great things included in the plan.

We got the tickets of match between India and South Africa in Ahmedabad. With the help of great innings by Master Blaster Sir Sachin Tendulkar, India has already won the series with 2-0 and there was no importance of the ODI in ahmedabad. India has replaced key players like Sachin Tendulkar, Virendra Sehwag and some bowlers. Yuvvi and Gambhir were already out due to injuries. Now it seems we were going to watch a Ranji Match but the match wasn’t that much important for me as I was about to meet my college friends and pass good time with them. Bhrugal, Prashant, Krunal, Jaimin(Swami), Kartik, Me and one more friend, in total we are 7 person to go to watch match. As we never get the things easily the same happened on that day.

The plan was to meet at our friend Bhrugal’s place and then we all will go together in his car. We planned to meet there at 12.30 as the match timing was 2.30. We all reached his place at around 12.30 and now the waiting started for Mr. Bhrugal to come home from his shop. Time was passing and there wasn’t any clue when he will come to home. Its 1, 1.15, 1.30 still he was not in. Some of us has passed comment that we hold each ticket in our hand and watch the match at his place on TV only(ha ha). At last he came at 1.40, change cloths and took his lunch. We left at 1.45 from his home. Now the time to reach stadium by car is around 1 hour from his home but thanks to his good driving we reached the stadium in 40 minutes and what we have seen is long line of car parking. Oops!! One more problem. We have decided to park car at his auntie’s place which is very nearer to the stadium as it could create traffic problem for us while leaving the stadium after match.

After parking car we started walking towards stadium. Finally we reached in to the stadium. It’s South Africa’s Innings going on and we already missed 6 overs. Both the batsmen were playing on the score of 22 and 24. This is the first experience for some of us to watch match in the ground including me. The ground was packed with large number of cricket fans with having Indian flag in hand. Some has painted the flag on their cheeks.

Nice Atmosphere as everyone cheering up Indian team but the day belongs to the other side SA. They played tremendous cricket. Skipper Kallis and ABD played all around the ground and both hit centuries. Our new bowlers were good in the start but in the death overs they were not that much good. The experienced Sreesanth also gave lot of runs. You never feels while watching on the ground that whether it is 50 overs game or 20 overs. Overs are just passing fast. Everyone cheered up Kallis and ABD for their centuries. Now the time for Indians to show some great shots and make crowd happy by winning game.

Murali Vijay and Dinesh Karthik started the innings and they played some good shot but they throw their wickets early. Match is going good and crowd cheering up. The hero Sachin Tendulkar wasn’t in the match so there was no one to cheer on the ground while entering for batting. Crowd has got that chance for Indian captain. All are shouting Dhoni, Dhoni when he was entering in the ground. He hit one six and it was awesome but he also throw his wicket. Now nothing to watch in the match but India took batting power play, Jadeja and Raina used it very well and show some good shots to crowd. Raina got out and we also got out of the ground without seeing tailenders to fall.

We reached the half way to home and planned to take dinner on the way in some good hotel. Suddenly Bhrugal’s cell phone rang and he got call from another friend who was unable to join us in watching match. He asked us to go for a movie. Wow… Although everyone tired in the car, no one has refused the plan except one or two but who is going to listen them as majority were ready for movie. We went to that friend’s place took pillows and some mattresses as we are going to an open air theater Drive-In (All Amdavadi people knows this but the explanation is for who don’t know about Drive In). The theater is good for spending time with family on weekends. You can get your car in, take some good place on the ground and watch the movie by sitting in the car or you can use your mattresses and pillows to watch movie by sleeping on the ground near your car. We took some food from Honest as everyone was very hungry after watching match. Got some good place to park car and everyone got the pillow; spread the mattresses on the ground in front of the car. And the surprise was we didn’t know which movie we were going to watch. We usually go to that theater for fun, not to watch movie. The latest one Karthik Calling Karthik running there. We reached in the theater at 11 and here also we missed movie of around 20 to 30 mins. Everyone was hungry so we open the packet of food and started eating. No one is even looking at the screen. After having dinner everyone started to look on screen and its Interval time (lolzzz). We lost almost half part of the movie. After Interval the movie was so boring and we were tired so some friends started sleeping there. After completing movie we reached to bridge on Sabarmati River and it was around 1.15. Nice and cool atmosphere there as River front project going on there. We spend 15 to 20 minutes there by pulling each others leg.

At last we reached Bhrugal’s home at 2 am. We took our bikes from there and started journey towards our home. I used word journey as everyone was very tired after match and movie and not in the condition to ride bike. I reached home and slept in 5 minutes.

The Next day was Sunday. I have planned to meet some of my school friends. We met at the same place in our area where we usually meet. Everyone was talking about their life job. But the hot topic was the marriage. Everyone asking each other to get marry but no one is ready to get marry. I was shocked by the count they are telling me, the count of girls they met for marriage (Of course no body have girl friend and no one is going to do love marriage.) one has 6 count, one has 8 and the highest was 11. My goodness, I have not even started my account (Don’t know my expression whether it was sad or happy.. J).

But on the whole it was really a fun to meet old friends and talking about life.

Hope you like this blog. Take Care and Keep Rocking in life.

Mission Avatar - A Good Story

Its pretty interesting story as we went to watch movie Avatar in 3D. One of my friends wanted to see movie Avatar and excited for its release. The movie got released and the theaters showing this movie in 3D are houseful. That was very sad news for my friend. Still he has tried every weekend to get tickets but unable to get the tickets and when he got ticket he would be busy on that weekend with some other stuff.

It’s been almost 2 months of time after release of movie Avatar but he didn’t get a chance to watch it. Meanwhile we got the movie downloaded from the net and some friends have seen it on laptop only and they didn’t like the movie. We refused to go to watch that movie in theater as its not good movie.

At last after 2 and half month he got the tickets available in an IMAX theater at Wadala (Mumbai). The place Wadala is very far away from our room and we have to change 2-3 trains to reach there. He got success to convince us to watch that movie. We have to agree with him as he is very good friend of us.

Now the tickets are booked so he was pretty happy, finally he will see the movie in 3D. but he wasn’t aware about the problem we have to face on the day we booked tickets (It was Sunday). Somehow we managed to wake up early at 9.30 (Usually we wake up at 11 on weekdays and on weekends its 1). Now we just need to follow the plan to reach at theatre on time. The plan is to go to Andheri and catch a train on harbor line to reach to Wadala. Everything went by plan and we reached to Andheri station at 12. our show is on 1 so we are already in hurry.

Now the waiting for train to Wadala begins. It’s been almost 15 mins and no train arrived at the station. Suddenly we got the news that trains on harbor line are not running on that day because of some mega block. All are in tension as the time is running down. Then we planned lets catch train for Bandra… go there and catch train for Kurla. After reaching Kurla take a cab for Wadala. The other option is to go Dadar and catch a cab for Wadala.

Finally worked on the second plan and catch a train for Dadar. Now the big worry is time. Its 12.40 in the clock and we just reached to Bandra. Nobody knows how much time it will take to reach to Wadala from Dadar by cab. Reached to Dadar at 12.48 and the time is running down. Looked for a cab as there was heavy rush due to block in harbor line.

Finally got a cab and ask him to go faster and try to get on time. We reached to theater and collected our tickets which we got booked from Internet.

Wow!! We reached at 1 and seen whole movie. At last our Mission Avatar got successful.

Divide and Rule

Hats off to our politicians for following Divide and Rule strategy of Britishers.

Every politician wants to have some position and want to be CM and PM of India. Are they really wants to do social work for India? The Answer is not at all.

They just want to have their good position in Assembly and Parliament of India. If they are not capable to get the position they just want to divide state in small parts and rule on the state. They are ready to do show off like strike and violence in state.

Just before few days in Hydarabad one political party has demanded for different state called ‘Telangana’ and a leader has started hunger strike. Government has approved to have different state and lot of other politicians have demanded division of states like Uttar Pradesh demanded to divide in 4 states.

My question is why they want different states? Are they following Divide and Rule strategy? Are we free or we still didn’t get our freedom?

They don’t want to solve the problems of country; they just want their good position. Why we are electing these kinds of politicians. Are they giving good service to us?

Country is facing lot of issues like water problem in many parts of India due to bad monsoon season we had this year. Prices are raising everyday for daily needed things. Terrorism is being biggest issue of country.

They have to come on right track and have to stop this non-sense politics.

Orkut Vs Facebook

Orkut – A famous community website from web giant Google having lot of functionality which provides the person to connect with all his/her friends and family altogether wherever in the world through the internet. India has good contribution in Orkut by having millions of users from India. Everyone talk about orkut and connected with their school, college and Job friends. But suddenly in Indai Facebook has raised its hand by getting lot of users from orkut and from non-orkut sites. Facebook has started to earn popularity over orkut and in that way so google has to improve Orkut and give the functionalities like facebook is giving.

Facebook – Holding second largest number of users in India. Many users have their account on Orkut and Facebook both. Facebook provides lot of features and its main feature is to provide different games through the application. Lot of users are using facebook due to its applications and the facility to show update on the friend’s Wall(Home page). Facebook getting lot of users and seems very user friendly.

With lot of difference in both the sites Orkut has to launch its new design and version to provide facilities like Facebook to stop its users to select facebook as favourite community site. I have asked some of the friends who use only orkut and who uses Orkut and Facebook both about the changes made by Orkut in its new design.

The user who uses only orkut welcomed new change of orkut and impressed a lot by this. They enjoyed seeing updates of friends on their page and getting the comment on that while the users of Facebook refused to accept this version as found this change of orkut as copy paste of facebook and many says it’s the facebook’s 0.0th version.

In short we can say Facebook has higher hand as it is providing lot of application that can refresh users mind by playing it.

My vision is orkut’s new change is good but it is not enough to compete Facebook’s Farmville and lot of other applications.

Now and Then...We need Bhagat Singh

A year has been passed when financial capital of India was targeted by a biggest terrorist attack of country and 177 people died and many injured. All were shouting and putting pressure on politicians and policemen. Whole Mumbai was stun by the big attack on the city. Offices, colleges and schools were shut for 3 days. Eye of every Indian was on TV and the movement made by Commandos and terrorists. Mumbai was silent and in moan.

A year after the situation is we are lighting a candle. We are arranging rally. My question is “Will it work to wake the politicians up?” I think this wont work. Every time terrorists attack on our country and what we are doing is just remembering that incident, every year lighting candle and arranging rallies. Cant we do more than this?

I have seen a debate on Times Now at 12am today. A gentleman in London Mr. Noon was asking the question to Indian government and law that “Are you capable to handle these kinds of cases?” Babri case took 17 yrs to get some result and a year has been passed and kasab case trial is still going on. Why our law is not that much strong to take the action in few days or month? Why our government not that much strong to put pressure on Pakistan even though we know that they have lot more terrorist camps running in the country?

We can take footage of those camps but we can’t destroy them?

Mumbai attack was very big attack but if we go through last few years India faced lot of attacks and many innocent people were killed.

I think the terrorists are thinking the same dialogue which was in the Movie ‘The Wednesday’ – ‘Hum to aap ko isi tarah marenge, karlo jo kar sakte ho’.

They don’t understand the language of peace so lighting candle and rallies wont work any how. We have to do something to stop this and it should be stop soon.

We have to wake up and raise our voice. I am raising my voice by this blog and also will send the same to all the news paper sites.

Jai hind, Jai bharat and saluting the commandos and policemen who lost their lives in these kinds of attacks.
