Navigator... Dadoo driving zooom!!!!!
Yes last weekend i played the role of a Navigator to my friend(we were roommates for nearing to 2 years, he kicked me out before getting married ;) )...
He got his US driving license sometime Wednesday, and trust me this guy had never driven a 4 wheeler in India.... Where as do have a Indian driving license (which cost him some 600/-) and he decided finally to take up driving lesson as his wife (this guy married 6 months back) had threatened him if he is not getting a license.. poor chap succumbed to the threat :)
As his wife is back in India for couple of weeks he finally got his license and on Friday he rented a car (for the wk end) so it was time for some drive over the weekend-- tighten your seat belt, take long breath and zoom!!! zoom!!! Here we go in and around the city)

After a few initially hick-up all the driving was smooth enough... if the driving distance from point A to B was 10 km, we managed to reach that place in less then 15km... Thanks to my superior navigating skill (trust me I am good in this, I would confidently point my right hand and tell him to take a left turn... (Later he got used to it and told ... "you mean the other right... and I would YES :-0)
However, by Sunday evening we had successfully completed 250km driving... and we were back on our own safe and sound... he is all exited to rent next week also... I guess this time it would be a more relaxing drive :) :) but still fingers will be crossed hehehe

Slumdog:Millionaire: A dismal end .... or a start
When Slumdog million was nominated for 10 academy nominee and happen to end up winning 8... All India was buzzing with happiness that a movie made on Indian slum managed to get 8 golden Oscar lady... we ended up with track "Jai Ho" was part of the election campaign... Every day i was able to see in all print and television media Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, they were chased by paparazzi every where, some time i felt that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt will be having some breather time for paparazzi as they can easily stroll in any Shopping Mall...
But on the down side I really saw the bad news that "Azharuddin Ismail" (child character of Jamal) house been demolished... when i looked at those images its like he is still living in those tin roof top house which is part of Mumbai slum, it was demolished by Mumbai Anti-slum... It like the child character we were used and thrown away after all the glitz and glory of Slumdog was en-cashed by the Producer'sI saw some time back "Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali " (child cast for Dev & Freida) walking the ramp during the Lakme fashion week... where as if you are a model and walking down the fashion ramp you can earn anything between 10k-100k... and look where are those kids leaving....
This time again... British’s came shoot a movie (making more mockery of Indian Slums) en-cashed all the CASH($343 million) and GOLD(8 Oscars) and living happing in the mist of glory.. And this kid is sill living in the mist of dust...
Jai Hind...

Seven Years and still going!!!!!
Today “May 13”its been 7 years since I have started working…. To confess looking back still do not make me realize that its been such a long time span that I have finished my college days and been working for the same organization “Kanbay ” (currently know as CapGemini) its my maiden job and am still going strong on this one….
I would like to state how it all started, April 2002 we had finishes exams of Final year of Graduation (along which we were also doing a Computer course – 2 year) we were having our usual “BHEL” at our joined when one of our friend happen to mention that a company “Kanbay” is looking out for computer engineer for 2-3 months project, we 3 (Akshay, Vikraam & I) thought why to waste the 2 months (period when we were awaiting our result) lets earn some money and have some first hand experience in working in a IT industry…. So next day we showed up for interview we had a large company of people showing up 35+, and the end 8 were selected and joined in the following weeks…
We were still continuing our college life… and having nice time and by the end of 2 months we all were ready to leave when our Manager “Mayuresh” let go 4 of them and asked 4 to stay back ( we three & Val)… and that was the day we have completed 7 years in Kanbay (Vikram happen to leave and pursue in another company) where as we 3 are still holding our horses and working in different project and still going on!!!!
Looking back I still can still say that that we decided what we had to do on a BHEL J
The year 2002 was not a nice year to start any one courier as we had just starting out for the DOT com bubble which made sure that many batches of our senior left the campus without any offer letter… and looking at today condition thanks to the Financial Crises which has gripped from last year and half… many have lost jod and we will see many fresh graduates would be leaving campus with no offer letter… this seams more like a 7 year life circle…
I wish we do see next 7 flourishing years of jobs for all….

Missing those summer time!!!!
I loved the summer :)
Hey Hey please do not hate me for writing this..... but if you think on Summer is such a nice time... and it has it own sweet memories right fro our childhood...
How we all used to wait for the summer holiday during our childhood, as all the exams which would have be terrifying and tortured us for the last couple of months had came to an end.... starting summer we would have a long couple of months holiday... its the best time to play play and just play... and have some more new friends…
It’s like we have been waiting for 10 long snail paced months to pass over for the summer vacations...
As we were from Kerala (abhi a punekar) we used to visit our native place every alternate year... those time were real special as we used to et to meet out friend back in Kerala but with a small gloom of missing all the friends back in Pune... its like i used to witness finest things of both the place....
Okay other then all the play i used to love the Mangoes which we used to eat all the summer, and have those sugarcane juices to quest your thirst...
oh and more over how can i miss this, the ice scoops (we used to call it baraf golas) in all red yellow and glowing green...
But as time passed by and entered our college year and in our initial office slogging year... it seams like we have lost the beauty of the summer vacation.... ahhh!!!! i miss those summer vacation of my childhood, this are the time i feel science should have been really really developed and we could have that fancy time machine... i would have loved to visit back and re-live all those finest summer days...
I wish the we really do have those fancy gadget selling in Amazon :) in next 10 year... I bet I can run and hoop still at that age :)... thanks to this lazy IT job and sitting in office culture is killing all our sweet time....
Okay then on a sunny and hinny summer note... lets enjoying back the summer :)

Vishu (വിഷു) "Keralites New Year"
Its exactly a week before, All keralite across the globe happen to celebrate "Vishu" the good part is that it do not restrict any caste or religion from celebrating...
This is the second this in my life that i was not with my family to celebrate it... which is used to enjoy to celebrate... i bet all would love to with their family and loved once to celebrate on all festive occasions...
Just to give a small explanation... about the festive "Vishu"... its celebrated across Kerala, buy the north part of Kerala also do mark it as the new year also along with the harvest festival which i guess is shared with many other part in India say like "Baisakhi -- Punjab" "Bihu -- Assam" "VIshu -- Tamil Nadu" and so on...
Usual the celebration start a night before, when the elderly lady of the house "in my case my nani" would decorate the pooja roam, with neatly arrange all the idols with large number or brass lamp, with earthen vessel filled with "Rice" "Grain" "Pulses" plate will have any denomination currency & gold, plates filled with fruits and with some vegetables. And about the flower "semma konna" it’s a yellow flower which only glooms once a year during this 2 week time, and “Rangoli” made diluted rice batter.
And the usually the muharaat is at 4 -6 am when nani will wake us up but will make sure that we are not opening our eyes she would assist us walk to the pooja room and make us open our eyes looking at the great view, the whole room would be lit in oil candle (brass lamp as mentioned earlier) then we would be given some sweets, followed with "kai neetam" where in elders will gift money to all small and younger people, and which follows with "Vishu padakam" in short burning fire crackers.
And later in the afternoon we would have a gala lunch "Vishu Sadhaya"... just to mention half a dozen curries to names some (sambhar, aviyal"a mixed veg curry made with coconut milk", coot-curry" main ingredient is raw banana & elephant foot (suran)" pacchadi(lauki with coconut milk)" with a couple of chutney, acchar, and will follow with couple of payasam one is of rice.
Do after all this I guess its really fair enough to say that i am missing all this.
This is how usually the Pooja room would look
This is how a typical lunch "Vishu Sadhya" which we do have on for vishu celebration.

Coloring and Drawing... (childhood leisure)
Please do not stare at me by just reading out the subject line.... or rather do not assuming that i wanted a catchy subject line to start of with another story...
Okay Answer this one... When was the last time you have actually painted using those crayons or when was the last time you have drawn images using the dotted lines…
Ahhh!!! i should say that we are missing the greatest fun which we used you have during our early childhood days... when we all used to get indulged in doing all this activities....
I would say that i was a bit more luck for past some time as i had my drawing and coloring partner (Rishi -- he is 4 years old) when we all friends used to meet over the weekend... Rishi used to carry his big coloring box (I envy him during my childhood i used to have only 12 crayon and most of them would be in their final stage of life :) ) and this dude has a big box which would carry say more then 50 crayon color & color pencils....
So my drawing partner used to keep me busy in all his activities like while painting i had to paint a ear and then he would paint and i would have to agree in the last that "Rishi you were really great in coloring" he just had to listen that... and this smart chap would say "Anish no problem i will help you... :)...
But trust me I really used to enjoying those painting and drawing sessions...i guess i should get each one of you a set of coloring box and bunch of crayons... which would help you paint more images which you would have wanted to draw then!!!!
So when i am back do expect on odd weekend i am with by coloring book and paint :)
Cheers,
Anish
p.s. no need to picture your self as the kid from Taree Zamin par :)

Its Time to say GoodBye....

Okay last week one Family from our group decided to wrap up and settle back to India, this move back did not came as a surprise but we were informed couple of months back over our usual weekly get together.... At that time no one were quite shocked but... as the day were coming near a different vibes started gripping with various thought "Things are not going to be same.." the weekly party would not have charm going ahead.... the laugh would not be any louder :)
Ramesh and Pallavi were the integral part of our groups... they were in all group hang out at what ever time it may be .. along with their kids (the youngest has just completed 5 month )
OKay just to make thing short and to the point... all the time we guys we were together we had a ball.. and as some wise human said all good will come to and end.. so that we can start afresh in a bigger bang... so having the faith... looking forward to have more fun time...
so me taking time to say good bye, which means a new beginning...

Movie Time.... 9-12, 3 -6 & 6-9
Me and movie always go hand in hand….
In my friend circle I am the person who drivers (forces) all to the theater for watching a movie….
If any movie “Hindi” do release… I do have to build up the story and spread news among the group and make the news do spread in the group stating the I have heard good review from multiple people…. And this should be one good movie for which we all are been waiting since some time…. as it usual that couple of people do complain after the movie is over that… this one was also the usual masala movie… the second half was a bit length… the songs were okay okay… the particular should not have acted in that way….
And I do have to play the role of listening all the review and comments in such a away that things do fall in such a way that… we all ended up having a good time….
But I would say… btw did you see the trailer of the new movie which is due to be released in couple of weeks… the trailer was impressive…. Was not able to understand the story line in details as the movie seams to be a bit suspense… what say can we think atleast in the back of the mind that why don’t we plan to watch this one….
So you see… watching a movie is all together different then making a group of people ready and convincing to watch the home is all together a different ball game…
So my fight is to make the first person part of my group who wants to watch the movie… so the chain continues and our gang do ends up watching one movie every 3 weeks (looks more like a major achievement)
The last one i saw in theters was Sonan Kappor (she was long good...hmmm) dance with the pigeon (Masakala)-- Delhi 6
This time their been a scarcity of movie (mainline Hindi) release… and it been 4 weeks on the taut….

All should ask oneself..."Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman...."
Okay people, and all of them who are in LOVE or have been once hit by Cupid's arrow...
This songs is my favorite song since when i relaly dont remeber (might be from my early college days ;-0)
"Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman...." This song is written & Sung by "Bryan Adams" and is really one of his great composition....
I would say each guy who fits any of the below condition should listen to this song...
- Who is in LOVE
- Who was in LOVE
- Who wants to be in LOVE
I guess i had covered all of them :-0
youtube link -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ATy4hA7dQY
The lyrics goes in this way:
To really love a woman to understand her
you?ve got to know what deep inside
hear every thought see every dream
and give her wings when she wants to fly
and when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman
When you love a woman
you tell her that she?s really woman
When you love a woman
you tell her that she?s the one
She needs somebody
to tell her that it?s gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really really, reallly
ever loved a woman?
And so on.....

A long long horriying evening....
Okay this is a true heart rendering real life story which I had to live on 9th mar..
I wish no one is drawn to this situation… this is true and, not a Fictional narration… So for all light heart i say should not read this as the written content would be in disturbing in nature….
So if you have dared to read this past… I would suggest take couple of big and long breath…
Okay enough of the drama….
This happen to me this week Monday (9th Mar) which I would remember for some time…Access to Internet is such a addiction while staying in US all alone that just thinking of not having net connection used to get Goosebumps, And my fear turned into really when My net connection was disconnected and I had to buy wireless internet connection and as usual it did not worked on day one….
So when I was back from office I was hanging my head down as the worst had hit (not connection that evening)…. I was running in the house as if you had let loose as hen in a cage( this is a old saying which my mom would have told me many time)That day to kill my boredom I ended up cooking food for me (2 sabji :-0)
Okay this way to much of a drama.. for writing which I should be banned with no Internet connection for a week :-0
Have a great day and week ahead….
Cheers,
Anish

Three Cups of Tea....
This book is on a mountaineer ”Greg Mortenson” who failed his attempt to climb K2 (Second highest peak in the karakoram ranges standing tall at more then 28,000 ft) who turned to a humanitarian… and have build more then 50 school in northern Pakistan (Baltistan)
Three Cups of Tea…. Its an old saying in the Balti province:
" The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family... "
The story starts in 1993 when decide to scale K2 to honor his deceased sister “Christa” who had dies at the age of 23.
1993 --- He attempt along with 4 other people after 70 days of trekking and with only 3000 feet to reach the summit they were forced to call of their expedition due to bad weather and injuries…. And on his way down he got lost and trek all alone and end up reaching a village (Korphe) by the time he reaches he is barely breathing and frequently collapsing due to lack to strength…
The villagers do take care of the unknown climber and get him back to health…
The village headmen “Haji Ali” took him to the village school, which was on open ground (with a backdrop of K2) with 78boys and 4girls studying math (4th grade) most of them using a twig and writing on the dirt, and few fortunate to have slate and using twig dipped in muddy water to write…..and the teacher was shared between 2 villages as Pakistani government could no afford to pay $1 pay day for a teacher, but was able to maintain a standoff with India at “Siachen glacier” (highest battleground located at 18,000ft)
So Greg finally return back to Montana (USA) with a promise made to Haji Ali (headman of Korphe) that he would return and build a school…
Once back he start his nurse jab and in the quest of saving money end up sleeping in his car daily… he do send on 580 letters and 16 grant petitions to all famous and rich, but end up getting one check of $100… his mother help him to speak in front of her school where children start a cent (1 paisa) and end up collecting $680…
Finally he get help from “Jean Hoerni”(who himself a mountaineer and been to karokoram range) who helped in with $12,000 check (that the amount estimated by Greg to build a school) with a note “don’t screw up”
1994 --- Finally he reach with all the material and supply, but the Korphe had a separate problem as it was connect only by a rope bridge “with basket” spanning 400 feet above Indus (which is roaring down)… so know he wants a bridge to be build….
1995 --- So Greg return back to Montana(USA) and calls up “Jean Hoerni” for more help he agrees ask him to get him a picture of the bridge and school once complete… so in the next summer and end up building a bridge of 400ft length, and promises he will come back again next year to start the work of school
1996 --- Greg returns to build the school, but faced with a new problem there been a landslide 40kn before Korphe, and his supplies had to be carried. So the villagers determined that their children’s be educated, trek to and fro (3 days each time) carrying all the material on their back (cement, wooden planks)… so finally after 3 summer and lot of determination the school is build…
Meanwhile “Jean Hoerni” is on death bed get to see the photo of his school and is happy end up making Greg Director of a new organization to help people and a million dollar sponsorship….
I have just finished to this far… will scrib more one I do finish the book..
Hope you also end up reading the book…

One evening walk by the crematory….
To tell the truth I have never walked down a crematory… This happened today 14th Feb what a day for many lover’s to celebrate and be together and the way I spend was totally different….. Worth not spending for a person who will ever be in love….
I was walking to the grocery shop (shop rite) which is just 5 minute walk from my apartment… And on the way I do have to pass a crematory (please, please do not get scared it not a horror movie narration)
As I had all the time on earth I was talking down I was just reading the details which were inscribed on the tomb stone, (like year, name and a line about the loved one)
And for my amazing part most of the inscription was more then 50 years and i was able to find few with more then a century old…. All had one or the another story this they were telling or wanted to tell..
Few were kids teen and some were really old the same I remember was 85yeras (John) and the youngest I saw was Mary (1899-1900),
- One which cough my attention was where in this person has seved in 2 wars (includes WW-11) he was a commissioner for 40 yrs , Mayor for 28 years
- One was of family name ”Flemming” where in most of the family was resting in peace
- Few of them just had their First name engraved
- Few of them did not mention any details
- At couple of spot I did saw Happy birthday card for he loved
By the time, I saw a family arriving to pay respect, A man, women & their teenaged daughter, They walked slowly to the spot, and started removing weeds / dried grass laying around… waited to couple of minute and drove by
And I did saw a father and his teenaged son, I guess their visit was just like mine, passing by, as that Dude was talking some snaps of old and nicely engraved stone which are telling a tale more then a century.
The best which I witness was a felling of free, calmness and peace for what al reason I am not sure… I really do feel some time its way to hard or impossible to express your thought… I felt that I should be visiting just in case I want to divert my thinking process or just to spend some time lonely among many unknown people…
/Ani
btw.. Happy Valentines Day, I guess you would have spent the day with your loved one…

Mere yaar ki Shaadi hai…
Courtship (Mere yaar ki Shadi hai…)
My this time stay in NY had a very different experience…. Which I would say I would remember for quite a while… and for some different reason… : )
In the last 7+ months since i am in US… I have shared apartment with two guys…. And in both the case they were engaged and were on their way to get married….
During this time I did realize… life really do get changed, when you are in the stage.. it can be also be called as a trans state… or as said in MATRIX 2 (wait at the train station.. for where you cannot go neither ahead nor backward but do just have to wait till the time do come)
In both the case my roomies had their fiancee located in India.. so naturally you can see the day or night never used to end… either its day in India or day in US or its night in India or night in US (its like the constant 24 hr cycle when day never used to end or the night never used to end)
I was amazed when they used to be up whole night talking, talking and talking and during the daytime in office… :-)
I always felt, the apartment where I stayed was not occupied by 2 but rather by 3 people (the 3 person was always superficial as the presence was not felt by ME, but both of them you to feel) humans are really crazy i guess.... :-)
But starting this week, my current partner is on his way to get married….
The funniest part of all this is that I happen to know both the guys from past some time… before this transformation(living in the wonderland.. hope that wonderland do survive reality :-o)…. But where different kind of person… and when this phase (courtship period) of their life started I saw common changes taking place in both of them… the way they talk, the way they run away from friends.... I guess my perception did also changed by observing them(agaionst all the person who is about to get married)… and a question used to hunt me… do all guys (as i never happened to share apartment with a girl who was to get married hahaha) end up on the same path and the same way…
Hope reading this you guys do not run away... this is just a passing thought... it will fade away.. and i should be back normal :-0
Cheers friends, for my roomie(Manish) getting married (fortunate or unfortunately both my roomies had the same first name)

Anish I read your blog about Mahatama Gandhi and Luck By Chance. I agree with you that we always forget our History or I would say we never get time to look into history and recall some people who gave us freedom. Not sure if its human nature or we are still scared of our school history books. I dont even remember that 30th jan was Gandhiji's death anniversary :(.
About Luck by chance, even i heard its a good movie and I want to watch it. But lets see when will i go :))))
Now to other 2 musketeers.. kahan ho tum log... you people are supposed to comment...
Awaiting your replies...

Luck By Chance......
Do i need to say that i am big time movie bluff... its rare i do not like a movie(CC2C is the worst)... for me most of the movie are in the category of "Super Hit" and few really do fall in the category of "Super Duper Hit"
LuckByChance: Directed by Zoya Akhtar and acted by Farhan Akhtar ... is a nice movie to watch... this movie do revolves around two struggling actors(Farhan & Konkona).... would not say more... as i do not want to kill the small surprises which the movie has to give throughout...
The movie does have few really good Quotes, just to say…
Destiny: Those people do believe in destiny, whom do not have faith or belief in oneself….
Trust: One should start trusting himself… which would help, rather then having Trust in other that thing would get done for you…
Every one has o fight his own battle, The is also supported by Darwin “Survival of the Strongest”
Time for a small Story:
It is a story of “Moth”, how it start to fight for his survival before it see the first ray of light..
It do have to struggle a lot to break the cocoon (it’s the same shell which do protect it from the start of an embryo)… many a time the Moth do give up trying to break the cocoon, which do result in the death before it do see the first ray of light… And the case where in the Moth is able to break the cocoon, it do start to flap its wings as soon It do break the cocoon..
So this do apply to us, say if we do stop struggling, then we would end up a dark corner… and if we do struggle we would be able to feel and live in the bright and sunny world…
Back to the movie… it do have really good song track…
Cheers my friend,
Anish
LuckByChance: Directed by Zoya Akhtar and acted by Farhan Akhtar ... is a nice movie to watch... this movie do revolves around two struggling actors(Farhan & Konkona).... would not say more... as i do not want to kill the small surprises which the movie has to give throughout...
The movie does have few really good Quotes, just to say…
Destiny: Those people do believe in destiny, whom do not have faith or belief in oneself….
Trust: One should start trusting himself… which would help, rather then having Trust in other that thing would get done for you…
Every one has o fight his own battle, The is also supported by Darwin “Survival of the Strongest”

Have we forgot our History.....
Mahatma Gandhi… A persona that was more during the Independent era.
Today (30th Jan) is marked as 60th death Anniversary of Mahatma.
Many would say human do learn from history. But a true questioned to ask oneself is that how much history do one remember? or does one wants to remember? Or do one has the feeling that remembering history is a waste of time?
Just to say yesterday I happen to watch few clips from “Kung-fu Panda” in which their was a quote “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, but Today is Present” this was quoted by “Master Wu Gui” (tortoise) to the Panda, when Panda was sad…
Okay back to the first paragraph… If we do see History or present, we would find many leader and normal human who would have don countless sin / mistakes in their time but for some good deeds which they have done, some people still do remember.
Their were many such incidence which Mahatma Gandhi has done which is not possible for any human.
- Dandhi Yatra: Which he did started for the salt break moment was started from his ashram (sabarnati) but ended in all the radio an news paper published in the world
- Kadhi movement: Where in he made people do sacrifice all the cloths which were made in britin. (some history to back this up:: India was always the hub for clothes, we used to export cloths back in that era, but just to make more revenue for the Queen, they killed or cut “thumb” of all the people who made the finest silk clothes in Bengal)
- Peace which he brought in Calcutta(post independence): India’s independence do have permanent left bad scare, India was partitioned in to 3 part (East Pakistan(Bangladesh), India, Pakistan). During this time human race had seen the worst communal killing and human migrations (roughly 2million people lost their lives, million went missing and tens of million crossed borders). In-spite of all the leaders managing with 100 thousand police and military to maintain peace in Punjab took months, where as in Calcutta Mahatma Gandhi has made peace between Hindus and Muslims

The point which i wanted to state is not just we need to remember Gandhi, but we do have many more person (Bhagat Singh / Sardar Patel / Bal Gangadhar Tilak / Rani Laxmi Bai) whom we should remember and should be proud to tell that we are from the same mother land.
Jai Hind.

CC2C--Chandi chowk to China town: This mix of Shahi-Panner and Chow-mean did not work....
Hello mere movie bluff satiyo... i guess this is the best i can do on a Monday Afternoon sitting in office…
After a month long of promo hampered on audience, making feel by the producer and critic that to all the boli bhali audience that they can have a much better movies delivered from Akshay Kumar… as a New Year gift…
But the movie was not worth watching for the first 10 mins….few questions will be definitely asked by all…
- What was Nikhil Advani thinking while prepare movie
- Is Akshay Kumar only acting to mint money
- Do this guys feel that if they do any crazy thing in the name of movie will be watched by the audience by paying lately 200+ in a multiplex
- Was Akshay Kumar acting justified for 16crores….
- The way “Deepika” made her entry in the movie was way to horrible, After watching the advertisement in the movie I guess even the “B-Tex malam” add was way better made.
- The first Action scene where the villain do make entry, even apna “Rajnikant” would not have dared to attend…. How can one slit a person throat with a hat??? Its better Newton is not alive to understand the speed and dynamics theory behind it.
Never do watch this movie :)

Childhood memories..... Something to cherish
I would like to scribble some of my childhood memories which will not be lost but would fade eventually as time do pass by…. So better to scrap out some before I end up only with some bits and pieces left…
My First Friend: Sandeep, This is the guy who used to played with me and taught Hindi, as I was just back from my native so only knew bits & pieces of Hindi and this guy was a Maharashtrain so it was kind of great friend ship we had
My Child Hood Games: This used to cricket(Every South Asian kid would ), Playing marbles, latoo, riding moped type with a stick across the area
My First School: Judson Pre School… I lasted their only for a year that to I remember due to the class photos
My Favorite Teacher: Rekha Miss: She used to have my lunch box daily and I used to have her lunch box of snacks or a treat in the canteen which I liked J
My First medal: Got a silver medal in General Knowledge exam across school
My First Movie in Theater: Shahenshah, iwas kinda so much into this movie, I guess for weeks I would have tied a rope across my left hand and walked…
My First Movie with friends: Kuch Kuch hota hai…. It was fun… bunking the class and watching this movie was a great experience…
My First cassette: Hindustani(Kamal Hasan movie) & History(Michael Jackson): I might have listen 1000 times before the cassette gave up…I still do have both as a momemto
My First School Friend(girl): Harjeet Kaur: She was a my best friend till the time we were in the same school, she changed her school in 6th grade
My Best Friend in 7th grade: Egnela: She was a tom boy and had a great year in school
My First Punishment: The one remember was in 4th I was made to write “I will not Talk in the class” on the black board for the full period
My First Fight: This I do not remember why but was a real bad one… At the end my shirt did not had sleeves and couple of cut on my hand and leg, The recipient was in more bad shape
My First Picnic: Visiting Aquarium and park in Pune when in 4th grade
IF I would sit through the night I would be able to scratch my head a more and remember something more….
Cheers, Ani (Musketeer Two)

This is US!!!!!
We four.... we guys know each other from past some time... frankly to say that we four are like four corners of a place no similarities.... by far which i do know... but still we all do get along which each other..The reasons for creating this blog is just a kind of "book note" where in all can in a while can write and share some common thing... so it would be kind of a page where we can turn back in some time and so that once in a while we all do read this have and do have a small giggle....
Anish: The so call NOT a mallu, who just do always run away when ever any body ask him to talk in Mallu of ask him that is he a mallu.
Manjeet: The sikhni "reminds me Karina Kapoor of Jab we Met"... a very fun looking always with a smile or rather do i say with a big laugh
Kanchan: ooops nothing can be said about her... she is a gem of a person, who is always full of wits full comments and PJ's
Rakesh: The most silent one, as per who the current generation is a real mess... he is humare aaj ke naye zamane ke babaji...
So this is what we are.... all head pointing to different directions....And very truly we all do really belong to four coroners of India
Manjeet (North) -- Princess of Kashmir
Anish (South)-- what to write about my self
Kanchan (West)-- Rani Laxmi bai... currently Prado is riding behind her on her "Activa"
Rakesh (East)-- The Train Man... he is would be named in the LIMCA book of records for travelling most time in train
Cheers,Musketeer One
