It rained like I have never seen before in Jaipur.

Maybe its my "back from Mangalore" affect. It rained cats and dogs 'in Jaipur' from 4:30p.m. till 10:00p.m. And not only that, rains were associated with winds (the Mangalore kind). I took a halt by a hotel in front of Subodh College. But dear rains calculated the perfect angle to meet me!
I so thought while coming back from Mangalore that I was done with the torrential rains. But apparently Jaipur rains have set some records straight today!
Fully drenched I took a decision to visit my Mausi (maternal Aunt) who lives nearby. At her place, I changed into dry clothes when Anjali called to yell that she has been waiting for more than an hour at JKK. So I quickly prepared and enjoyed the tea with Mausi and then left for JKK in the borrowed clothes. There I finally met Anjali three days after coming to Jaipur.
I sat there long in the company of Anjali and later with Arvind sir waiting for rain to stop.
Finally at 8:30 p.m. I gave into my fate and drove about 10 km back to get completely drenched once again!!!
Now finally the sky has stopped crying and hopefully all the water logging must be clearing up as I know many people had already planned to sleep in JKK itself! :)

P.S. : For non-jaipurites JKK is short for Jawahar Kala Kendra (Jawahar Art Centre)

Recalling Ooty trip!

Ooty trip. 24th - 25th October 2009. Most memorable trip! This trip was my escape plan! My birthday was falling on this weekend and I didn't want it to be like the birthday routine (mostly at food court 5 - oasis) of the Infosys, Mysore campus. So when I heard Sachit (who was from my college but had come to know him during training as he sat one seat beside me) planning a trip to Ooty with all his friends. I showed my interest in joining them clearly stating how I didn't want to be in the campus on my birthday falling that Sunday. He agreed. That is how I happen to go on this trip with Sachit, Sharad, Shikha and Varun. All were new to me! Before this trip I have hardly ever exchanged formal greeting with them and now here I was going to a beautiful hill station on a weekend! We left early morning for Udhagamandalam. On the way we had to cross Bandipur National Park. We stopped there and decided to take a Safari ride. Well it happened so that we missed on the early morning Safar...

Learning the hard way

Classroom teaching is organized learning where in words of many researchers and analysts decide what content will be taught and in what manner. As a child everybody has had their times of despising classroom either for selective subject or like me, simply for all of them. But 20 years past one realizes how essential indeed were those classroom sessions. And that is cause of the natural phenomenon that one understands the importance of something in life when that goes away from you. Have come too far from classrooms. And the most painful part in all of this is the fact that learning is not seized. Lot of things we are still suppose to learn in the daily course of action. But these lessons do not come from well structured course books illustrated by a teacher, it come to us the hard way. Hours after any incidence you analyze and understand the triggering factors for the event and their effective impacts. And then you really introspect that what & how exactly one was supposed to do in...

Mera purna-janam hua hai!

That is what I said at my party as I stand today having resigned from Infosys and now going back home to search for a job I would like! I am reborn! Its not that I am seeing my proffessional life as something which will have fresh start but also relations. People come up with complete other side to themselves when they know that one of them is leaving and that there is a possibility that you might not meet that person again. Last three parties post my last day at office have been such experiences and it has made me richer! :) On tuesday after office I went out with all my toastmasters friends! Toastmasters was the only thing which kept me busy in "true" sense at office! And so it was special. I was been surprised with this lovely cake they all got for me : After decently having cake, I was being warned that if the cake would not finish I would have to face the fate and so it was.... And these were the culprits .. And so after all present there had their part of fun we all we...
