Angel came to my life two months back

Exactly two months back, we were blessed with this cute little angel in our life.

She brought us so much of joy and happiness .. She is real blessing and source of happiness !

Thank you to the universe for fulfilling my dreams and wishes !

We will give her all the love and good education !

We are grateful to our families and friends who supported us during the tough time.

God bless !

Funny !

Standing in a gas station (petrol bunk ). After filling the tank full realized that I have forgotten my wallet . Thank god .. It is india ! .. The guy at the bunk said it is ok .. Since it is near by asked my Dad to come with my wallet .. Now I'm noticing it not the distance but the traffic !!

Success

Ralph Waldo Emerson defined success with these words: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded."

Nice weather .. !

Midweek .. Just 2 more days to go far weekend ... Lot of work to complete ... Nice to be busy and productive !

Long journey starts with small steps !

Weekend mood

I don't know why .. Though there is lot of work to complete there is a feeling happiness .. May be I have to put few hours during the weekend to catch up with work ..

No mood to work now !

Fri, Jun 3, 2011 5:45:39 PM

Rush hour !

Trying to reach office on time ... No.. Just reach ... It is already late ..

Day before yest ... I was getting late .. Went to fill petrol to my car .. I was asking the attendant to hurry up .. I got down and was looking at the fuel gauge ... Some sound came from car .. I ignored ..paid the money and came near the car .. Not able to open the door !! Oh !! Car got locked since I had left the key inside .. I was already late and did not know what to do ... Then one attendant came and said will do something ... He searched for scale (ruler) and inserted near window and gave a small bang !
Click .. Car got unlocked .. He just said thank you .. And rushed for meeting just on time !!

When things go wrong they go wrong !!

Have good weekend !

Fri, Jun 3, 2011 9:54:55 AM

Busy day !

It looked busy day .. Though I was not doing too many things .. My car is in garage for some repairs .. Going by bus ..

I'm lucky .. While boarding moving bus I slipped ..nothing happened .. Could regain the control .. Slight pain in the leg !

Another day !

Tue, May 31, 2011 7:23:20 PM

Waiting ... !

No .. Not in hospital ..this is my Car service station .. Near my office .. Looks like some problem with cars coolant .. It is getting heated up.. Hope no major repairs .. No mood to spend on repairs .. :-)

It is like moors law .. When you are busy you get many unexpected things to handle ..

In fact I'm relaxing here ... Lack of sleep and rest ! ... Feeling sleepy !

Yawn ! ..

Vintage !

I don't know which car is this .. But it is very cute !!

Sea food dinner !

We wanted to have some good food .. My wife was suggesting a place but I was not keen to drive till there ... We went to a nearby place, supposed to be good and expensive ... But it was crowded in spite of its high price !

Finally we decided to drive and go to the place suggested by wify ..I had put aside all the reasons of traffic .. Restaurant not being open etc.. The place is called Kubey - means sea shell .. A special place .. Had crab after very long time .. Satisfied with the food .. Service and bill !!

EoD !

A productive day .. Hectic but good .. Glad to see the empty road and also the sunset !

Wed, Mar 23, 2011 6:19:00 PM

Jaguar !

Once is while for change we get to spot jaguar on our roads .. Whatever car you drive you can not go beyond 20 kmph ... Hope we are not insulting the Jag !!

Wed, Mar 23, 2011 10:55:40 AM

Zen of driving !

You might have heard of various tests and training the monks undergo before they become zen masters .. Driving in bangalore is one such opportunity !!

So next time when you are driving in bangalore consider yourself as lucky .. Who knows you might get enlightened and become a Zen master !!

Pray !

It is heart breaking to see the tragedy in japan ... Some solace is a friend is coming back from tokyo .. Still concerned till he lands here safely .. It looks selfish ...

But I think we start with prying for peace and harmony .. Be it in japan.. Libiya .. Beharin .. BP oil spill impact in US ..Kashmir .. Corruption and violence in India and all over world ..

We have created the mess .. And let's be part of cleaning it up also ..

Sarve bhuvantu sukinaha !

Spring is here !!

Spring is here .. Start of a new season .. New life .. !!

A delight see the blossom !

Demand for food !

As the city is growing there is lot of demand for decent , clean food .. Though prices are at international levels .. The quality and hygiene are yet catch up .. Even big brands like MacD started of well .. Slowly their quality is also coming down !! ... Fries are no longer crispy ! .. If you ask they say it will be crispy only for seven minutes :-)

Tue, Mar 15, 2011 2:21:00 PM

Spiritual driving !

After complaining for some time got enlightened !!

Who said people don't care ? :-)

look at the picture below .. We live so closely .. Very intimate !!

One good thing driving here is .. You can park anywhere .. No seat belts .. Very safe ! .. No lanes to follow .. You can jump signal ..

What else you want ? :-)

Mon, Mar 14, 2011 2:31:02 PM

Monday !

Day by day driving is becoming challenging ... The way we drive makes me wonder "what happened to our common sense ?" .. A five year child can say that on a narrow road if we block both the sides vehicles can not move !!
What makes sense is not getting irritated being calm .. :-)
Another observation is there so many incomplete construction work .. The new underpass .. We can see lot of debris .. Uneven road .. Walls already filled with posters .. Tokyo even after the disaster looks better than our city .. Instead of complaining I will start the drive of keeping things impeccable at home and office !!
That might make a difference at least to my surroundings !!

Have a great day !! ... Mondays are always longer !!

Mon, Mar 14, 2011 10:32:43 AM
