"20/12-2012" The Poem-

20 12- 20 12 ,the wake up call was a birthday call,
 singing rhymes the best of these times,
with friends on hold with love untold,
although  late, they came up with a  cake,
the cake was 'bheesh' b4 it was on my face,
 filled with mirth went another day of birth,
with friends i found, this time around,
for all is well that ends with a "well",
therez no need to tell, its time to sleep well.

This Moment & it's Momentum

The air was chill. Their were sounds of birds chirping. I could hear bells chiming at a distance. But uneasiness gripped me. I could feel my heart's thumping in my ears. I could feel the adrenaline rush in my veins. Sweat was dripping down my eye lashes. I couldn't concentrate. My vision was blurring. I could feel my head rolling. This was getting me nowhere.

I closed my eyes trying to pay attention to the minutest of details. I was breathing very heavily. My thigh muscles were tightened. My teeth gripped hard. I noticed that my legs were busy swaying. Yes I was running. I could feel the fatigue, the intense burning in my legs. But the running never seemed to end. Neither could I slow down. As if something pushed me forward or took control of my legs. It didn't take me long to realize that it was not my head turning. Instead it was the world rolling under my feet. So fast.... I wondered where I was...

Now my blurred vision made little sense. Maybe the world was not spinning so fast after all. Maybe I was in some thing like a big ball spinning; a little globe. Yes,I was caged in a globe. But it was too fast for me. My fears grew. Where will all this running end?? How much more can I cope with?. Frantically I started looking around for options. As I turned to my right I saw something strange. A man was jumping around inside the globe. He seemed to be at ease, as if jumping was a better option to my running. Irritated and angered I clenched my fist, trying to run harder. I watched him smile at me. He said," God wanted to test you and me differently”. I looked at him with surprise. I realized he was an amputee,  he didn't have one leg.

I was shocked but I still didn't care. The fatigue was getting its toll on me. Slowly I turned to my left towards the intense light that poured on me. Like a purple haze I saw a ghostly figure approaching me. I was astonished by the Godliness it reflected , with a glowing halo, the aura of sanctity. For a moment I believed God existed, or at least , angels from the comic books did. Before I could make out more, a hand came up and wisped past my ears onto my cheeks. ”SLAP”.

With a puff of air my jaws blew wide open. My legs went numb. I staggered forward and fell from my chair. I opened my eyes. I tried to move my hand and legs, but failed. I was lying face down, my hand and legs bound to a chair. Damn!!.... that was all but a dream. I kept wriggling unsuccessfully to free my self from the chair. However after much struggle the rope finally gave away. I got up on my feet. I started gazing out of the window on my left. The banyan tree stood tall like the ghostly figure in my dreams. The glowing sun behind added to its aura of sanctity. The mild breeze continued to kiss my cheeks. Although disturbing,that dream was worth contemplating , I thought.

I looked at my arms; they were all stained with blood. I was bleeding badly. But I felt no pain. I dragged a table by the window. Sipping the cup of coffee that I found on the table I ran my eyes over the lush greenery outside. I felt that nature was at its best. The landscape outside was beauty beyond words. Far across I could see a river meandering through the bottom of the valley adding a sparkle to the serene landscape. I took another sip of the coffee. It was then I observed that the coffee was tasteless. It was neither warm nor cold. "How can someone make coffee so bad" , I pondered. Anyway I was more than happy for having woken from my dream. Life was more relaxing than that dream. As i was relaxing something shining on the floor caught my attention. It looked something  like a gold coin. I picked it up. I could see the reflection of my face on it. It made me feel special. With the joy of a kid in possession of a new toy, I spun the coin on the table. Like the totem from Leonardo's inception I mocked. ''Some hell of an  imagination was portrayed in that movie'', I told myself. Imagine, dream in a dream in a dream. Bizzare!!!

The spinning coin finally slipped outside of the table. It fell on the floor and out of sight. For a moment , I didn't care if the coin never stopped,I dint care as to who served the tasteless coffee, I dint care if I was pain less,I dint care if my senses went numb... I just didn't care if this was a dream .

Slowly I continued with my gaze outside the window. The landscape was soothing as always I thought. It made me feel relaxed. I took a few deep breaths. With nature ,was always a good choice for  "Living one's dream" i realized. Dream or not I continued to enjoy this moment...Because above all,  I believed in living this moment .....Who knows... maybe in some unknown corner of the floor  the coin was still spinning with all its momentum..........

Ye dil mange more.......

As the clock ticks one two three four,
When time that runs seems to exist no more,
Fun and entertainment is something I do ignore,
To achieve the dreams in my hearts deepest core,
for my heart says I deserve something more.

Even while living a life steered by a broken oar,
At times when I forget even my daily morning chores,
The problems that I faced never seemed to bore,
Fueling my desire to always even the score,
For my heart says I deserve something more.

Luck and destiny never let me pass their doors,
Even fate seems to treat me like a whore,
But with God's blessings ready to pour,
Like a raging bull am ready to gore,
For my heart says I deserve something more.


Sailors often wish to conquer the seas they adore,
To them the sea gushes only at the shore,
As super-powers are not limited to heroes like Thor,
The Lion in me is itching to roar,
For my heart says I deserve something more.

MY G1 SATHI.. The story of a revolution...

.... and so today it has been 2 months since I got back my jeevan sathi,after 1 month of her exile at some unknown filthy corner of an e-waste filled mobile repair shop.
Good to have u back darling.Yes ,after having broken the touch screen and an unsuccesful repair attempt here it is bak in my hands, still broken still WORKING....

As You must have guessed by now my G1 sathi is none other than my uber cool phone HTC G1.


Glancing back through the wheels of time I remember the day when I first laid my hands on this phone. Dated: **/12/2009(**='Forgot'), It was a memorable day for everyone in my family. Not because it was the day I got my phone. But bcoz it was the day when my bro, who haz been pursuing his career at an MNC in US,had returned home on vacation, much to the happiness of mom dad and me.This gift of his was just a gesture of added happiness to me.

The G1 ,a soon to be flesh and blood of any mobile lover ,was manufactured under the collaboration of Google, HTC and T mobile , 3 giants in their respective segments of the industry. Better known as the GOOGLE PHONE it was the first phone that came with the infamous google android. A master piece OS in itself , it just added to the beauty of my phone. T mobile G1 was a revolution in the mobile market. It redefined the meaning of a phone or rather a smartphone.A powerful communication phone packed with features and apps that not only provide an unmatched browsing experience but also one touch access to anything and everything u wana stay connected to.Backed by the powerful android OS,G1 ensures that one is never left behind when it comes to the race between technology and man kind.Considering my craze for gadgets ,G1 always gave me the feel that I was holding a next generation gadget in my hand,and it really made me proud.

What gave the Tmobile G1 such a huge success!! the answer is pretty clear , thanks to Google's new Android platform. Android ,which marked Google's head start in the mobile phone market, has given google a very firm grasp on the mobile market. The open source OS has become google's weapon in its competition with long time rival and competeter 'Apple'. And so far android has given them a market share double that of Apple a feat that is quiet impressive!!. The key revenue for google in this venture being nothing but a share in the advertisements that the mobile users are put through .In there quest for conquering the market google have started giving their software to anyone who can provide them with the hardware. In short it is google voicing " take the software if u have the hardware".An open source software with an open source marketing strategy.This is indeed taking its toll on the iphone.Today there are many critics n well wishers, looking forward to google, awaiting the launch of an android phone that is 1 step ahead of the present market leader- the IPHONE . Who knows that day might not be far ahead .

But just as every coin has 2 sides the open source nature of android can also ensue trouble for google in its torrential leap towards success. Till date all android phones come with google as the default search engine. But this neednt be so. Especially with the lauch of microsoft's " BING " search engine specially designed for android phones and Iphones .It seems microsoft is taking special interest in promoting its new search engine and making tie ups with mobile giants like motorolla to promote their engine.Even in the case of Iphones, which came with google as the default search engine , Apple was prompted to think again for an alternative for google's search engine as google themselves have jumped into a rivalry with Apple in the mobile market.So its just going to be a tuf time ahead for google and its supporters. A day might come when google will have to pay its allies to keep its hope for monopoly in search engines alive. Infact considering the success of an open source OS chinese mobile phone manufacturers may come up with something similar or even challenging , after all these petty software manufacturers are always on the look out for new ventures to improve their revenue.

Anyway as an android user all I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best for Android and its makers..

ALL HAIL ANDROID!!!

I KNOW.....I HAVE KNOWN.......

I know, I was a lazy bum,
Until you saw me as your son,
To my right ,the fatherly sun,shining and glowing high,
Who lit my day and taught me to fly,
&to my left, the motherly earth,revolving the sun,
Your love like his,is heavier than a tonne.
As your beloved kutty,
I lived life like a loved kitty,
You gave me a home,
And never left me alone,
Sharing the joy in rain,
Fighting for joy in pain.
Even when life was blue,
Brimming with joy I could say "YAHOO!!!",
Amidst life's dirty game,
That home was always my mighty gain,
Wherein I saw the greenery,
Which I enjoyed in life's scenery.
Today I may have nothing more to pen,
As I unwillingly leave my den,
With a quest to chase my dream,
With a desire to face life's extreme.
But 'By God' I will be back,
And I can bet you on that,
Coz I know you have known
In me the unknown,
'The me' you have known,
Just as you know I have known
In you the unknown,
'The you' I have known,
That which money cannot own,
Nor which time can unown.
Its the truth set my an unknown,
That...I Know.....I have Known.......

WHAT A NIGHT !!!

It was a wonderful day today because I got to sleep for the whole day making it another of those best Sundays any hardworking professional, or maybe every Reliancian, will yearn to have.But happiness comes with exorbitant price tags and so here I am out late.With eyes wide open in RED ALERT MODE(I just donno y) as i recline in the balcony of my apartment ,even as the clock strikes 3 in the morning, enjoying the moonlight,always ready for action and adventure. But all I end up with is my laptop, internet and a long night to ponder all the more as to how I can make this just another sunday night to NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNDAY NIGHT in my life.Subsequently, as a consequence of such uncanny and unearthly turmoils in some hidden corners of my oversized brain this wild freaking( insane- wen it comes to me) idea came to my mind, 'why not blog'.

'NOTIMETOBLOGDAILY.BLOGSPOT.COM', a typical name that my unique brain came across a few years back to honour my future dedications and future commitments towards my future endeavours in blogging :P hehe . While in reality it was just a reflection of my lazy inate self taking its toll on my actions and my interests making it impossible for me to find time to blog. What more.... when the name speaks for itself!!!!

As I was looking for a topic to prey upon I came across this mail by one of my dearest friends Mr R texted as below:-

" Guys,


Please help in filling the survey(Regarding a creche and a relaxation centre). Required as a part of the curriculum.... Please pass this on to your friends too.. thanks !!


https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFBFNjNDUzhOZkN3NWdKeFJabE1yWVE6MQ


Regards"


Warm regards indeed!!!!! I was really happy to see a mail from one of my dearest of friends at a time when I really needed to remember old friends and the good ol memories that we all had shared.Undoubtedly I was really thrilled to help him out and participate in this survey just to earn him those those extras for his grades( I HOPE UR RIGHT ON THIS !!! ELSE UR DEAD MR R) . But here was the hitch,I just had no clue as to what this CRECHE was !! and that genius had not given a clue about it's meaning in his mail either.

I knew filling up a survey was always a cumbersome activity and in addition I had to do a bit of diction as well for this one. Anyway by the time I had clicked on the link & the page loaded I had lost all interest in the survey that I was going to participate in. Regretting my action :) I started filling up the survey details. It started with the standard questions NAME, Age etc etc...until I read this section which said :-
"Creche
You may kindly skip the section if not applicable"

I immediately referred the dictionary double checked the meaning and with a broad smile on my face I skipped through the next 2 pages of the survey and submitted my entry.
It was followed by a message which said " THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUABLE SUPPORT".

For a moment I was really happy. Happy for having done something fruitful for my friend. Something that would aid him in his career.My actions may sound trivial but the happiness it gave to me knew no bounds... and I WAS REALLY GLAD that today was NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNDAY NIGHT.....

And ya you too can add up on my happiness by participating in the the survey by following the link above :P and do not be lazy just for the sake of that one word !!
who knows it could change ur life or may be a friend's :D
