Best Days of My Life??

Apologies again that i couldnt post from pune. The prime reason being no net cafe near my area. So have to travel some distance to get access to the net. But frankly, i dont regret a bit since i had more interesting things to do. ;)

My First Flight Experience

....was great. Nothing extra ordinary. But yeah, was spellbound by the view one gets sitting at the window seat. One does notice the clouds sliding by. How amazing. And that feeling when the plane is soaring up just after the take off. And when the plane is taking a sharp turn in mid-air. I am sure my parents will relish such an experience. I wish spicejet had started its operations a bit ealier so that my parents could have had this opportunity. Anyways, i will surely make this happen for them in the near future.

And yeah...i was lucky to be accompanied by girls in the adjoining seats. One of them was a babe. But so sad that one was more interested in sleeping and the other was in reading a book. :( I did try (as usual) to break the ice but in vain. I can see the sadistic smile on laks face. Hey dude, just kidding!

Pune - Mumbai Expressway

It was a welcome coincidence that my close friend Dhananjay's engagement happened to be at this time. He had hired a Qualis to travel to mumbai, the place of engagement. Lady luck seemed to be with me throughout my pune trip since there was hardly any heavy rainfall. Also thanks to my buddy, Pradeep Akkunoor for lending me his Kodak digital camera. Courtesy of all these factors, I could take some snaps on the expressway(though I think photography is prohibited).





I don’t need to go to swiss alps to be one with nature. Give me an SUV, my close pals and the expressway. :) That’s more than enough for this humble soul! In fact, that’s one of my goals: buy an SUV, pack it with the people who matter to me and hit the expressway at > 140 kmph.









And if you are lucky, the weather would complement the scenic locations and you would get to view scenes like these.







The Engagement Ceremony

I am so glad for my pal Dhananjay that he finally found his soul mate. Dhanya’s story is the stuff what legends are made of. A mere para wont do justice to his story. I will reserve one separate post for that.

Again here I was lucky wrt girls! That’s expected when the bride-to-be has some dozen cousins and that too spinsters! Oh boy, didn’t I have a great time?

All in all, I just loved this vacation. Ask Pradeep. No one knows better than him. :)

I have so many things to write about. Don’t know how I will balance my time. The following topics are in my mind:

Dhananjay – A true champion in Life
Grand Farewell to Laks and Pills
Indian Career Conundrum
The Death of the Indian Farmer
My Life. My Passion. My Happiness.
The Things I hate about Myself

and many more!

If you are a sports buff and if you are not following the current Ashes series you are missing something. So much had been written about this particular rivalry and I am so glad that this series has been able to bring out the true essence of sport. I was unlucky to miss the third test match. But I did get to watch the concluding part of the second test. And boy, what a match it was. In fact, it will go down as one of the best test in the history of cricket. I jumped with joy when England pulled off the last wicket and scraped to a 2 run victory over the mighty aussies. Though I am no Brit still such emotions? You will understand that if you understand sport.

Indian hockey hit a new low when they finished 7th among 8 countries. Its going to be a mighty challenge to get Indian hockey back to where it was. I hope I get to play some part in that. Anju George too disappointed with her performance at the world championships in Helsinki. Looking forward to watch sania in action at the US Open.
