All of my life; I lived with one dream< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
To reach on the top, to make my own league
Worked day and night out, with just one belief
My dream is never far, it
Torn pieces floating in the air.
Blocking my vision.
Refusing to settle down with the dust that sets the pace.
A million of them running in hundred different timezones.
Taking the pleasure in the ride to a place that never arrives.
A peace that's never silent.
A journey that never ends,
Setting the pace for a rythmatic chaos intrinsic to its movement.
Now i become the torn piece.
I know not where i go,
I have to keep moving through the chaos,
But the road never ends.
And so does my journey.
I can't see ahead nor where i came from.
The chaos brings the music.
I become part of it.
Now i am the chaos.
And i dont want to settle .
For time doesnt exist for those whose journey never ends.
I become time and i last forever.

INDIA is a roaring capitalist success story." So says the latest issue of Foreign Affairs; and last week many leading business executives and politicians in India celebrated as Lakshmi Mittal, the fifth richest man in the world, finally succeeded in his hostile takeover of the Luxembourgian steel company Arcelor. India's leading business newspaper, The Economic Times, summed up the general euphoria over the event in its regular feature, "The Global Indian Takeover": "For India, it is a harbinger of things to come
at last it rained in vizag.....cant wait to go to the beach and have a 'bhutta' .....hmmm ....missing hyd!
Hey ppl....well the last blog i was explaining a little about my "experiences in the US". Last week i landed in Hyderabad ..relaxed for a couple of days and moved to Vizag...this silent port city or town not sure yet of Andhra Pradesh.
What a contrast to where I was for 3 months .....US. Its definately hotter....people are friendlier ....the beaches are cleaner....
I was so shit pissed that i had to come here for my project for HSBC. But when i landed here the impression that i had has changed a little. with 3 discotheques.....TEN DOWNING STREET and Shoppers Stop coming soon....this place is cheap man!!!! Nothing like going to the beach and sipping a beer over the weekend ....looks like the cops are cheap here too.....
been to a place called "Chrome" a pub in vzg. The interiors were great and ambience was ok but what impressed me the most was girls with Skirts !!!! Not that i drool over it but i was told that this place is a piece of orthodox shit ....but the crowd at the place amazzed me...probably i would have felt that the place was shitty if this was in hyderabad .....but not bad for vzg....way to go....
the only shitty thing abt this place is that you pay before each order!!!
keep blogging....keep breathing.....
United States Of America.....
My port of entry was Philadelhpia and was supposed to drive from there
to this silent state of Delaware. Cleared immigration pretty easily
(as supposed to some regular grilling) and my first impression about
the country was already made....an african-american guy walked right
infront of me with two kids..on his t-shirt was written
"Why are these Kids calling me Daddy??"
Got picked up by a guy who was holding a placard with my name(literally raped my
name)...an experience has begun...one that is gonna teach me more about
my country in the days to come...comparision is ineveitable for a person
landing in the US for the first time...
Driving on the Route 95 inter-state highway to this small town of Wilmington
in Delaware, i could feel the freeze in the breeze already...what americans
call Wind-chill. Traffic signal...no body around..our Limousine was the only car on the X-roads...
lucky,my driver stops the car and waits for the signal sipping over his coffee...country music being played in the background.
Sub-consciously my Indian brain was gettign rest less...remembered punjagutta x roads ....2:30 am ...red light...no cars around
...no cops around...wroooooooooom....there i go...but here this guy was sipping coffee ...huh....tough for a guy whose mind set
about driving on the roads was "Hyderabadi". Dint understand if i had to be proud about that.
Been two weeks...the place was getting colder and colder...being a strict vegetarian (on the dinner table..heheeh), was finding
it a little difficult eating the bread-butter-jam shit...everyday i used to look at the menu at my office cafetaria ..vegetarian
section had only two options....1)cheese pizza 2) egg-plant topping Pizza....Two weeks and have been eating only dish 1 ..remember
i am a pure vegetarian. Now I was gettin frustrated and asked Kim, the lady at the counter if i could have a look at "EGG-PLANT"..
told her that this plant is rare in India...she was amazed and went in to get one for me...to my suprise it was a fukin Brinjal..
may be most of you know this ...i dint ...remembered this song from hyderbadblues2 "Hi-Tech vitech bhaingan ku bolo...". Realized
having been educated so well....i am still an illiterate in this country.
"Times have changed ....
Good times are strange...
Here I come But I aint the same...
Mama I'm coming home"
I can sing this song all this week...another week in the US and I will back in India. Feels great being in the US but feels even better coming back to your mother land....especially Hyderabad. Lots to write after I come back.....
see ya all soon....
hey people...
couldnt post any in the past few days....had to fly to the US for a business trip! this place is fun but the only scary part that separates Hyderabad from US is that people here have Traffic sense!!!
catchya soon!
Merry Christmas to all my co-bloggers here....!
I just completed reading this book called Animal Farm by George Orwell ..categorized as a fairy tale ...but a very imortant political message to go with....one amazing book to read!
I was never in to this political shit ....as if it mattered to me if YSR or Chandrababu became the CM . By boss would still screw me every day ..i am still over-educated and underemployed....credit card bills still haunt me....the begger at the corner of my street is still begging...kittu the kid at the chai dukaan still slogs the entire day for 30 bucks....untill i read this book "The Animal Farm"...
Worlds most famous and successfull reabellions and revolutions were initiated to undo a common man's suffering...The French revolution started for a piece of Bread....i think so..i was poor in History anyway...the Indian Independence was for a common man...revolutions happend...Saddam was dethroned......India Got independence.. all for a common cause...."THE COMMON MAN" .....
What difference did it make to a common man anyway.....the common man is still suffering....its the common people in iraq that are being killed everyday....even a soldier is a common man....nothing has changed for the villages in India....the leaders of Indian Independence got richer....the Nehrus.....etc etc....but the common man still suffers... never thought as much untill i read this "Fairy Tale" ....huh cant beleive it.....
forced to beleive what George Owell writes:
All people are equal.....but a few are more equal than the others...
My first blog....just wanted to know if anybody understands love....everybody wants to be in love..but how many of us understands it....is is universally accepted that love comes with suffering.
well mine did...it feels good to suffer for something and the end result is in your favour..what if you slog hard....toil hard and you fail....what if you loved somebody truly...what if you really cared for her....sweet little things that you always did...sweet suprises that you always planned to give her ...what about the times you spent with her...what if she says "you have just bought me with gifts" and walks off...
well....nothing...life still goes on ...an experience that leaves you getting nostalgic where ever you go....what ever you do.....still life goes on ....
what the fuck....i am talking crap .....
