Unite and Celebrate!

This new year, in the wake of terror attacks, is very symbolic. The terrorists might have broken security barriers of our country but they will never break our brotherhood. This new year we should pray for those innocents killed due to the violent agenda cold blooded killers. We must share our emotions and grievances with the families of the martyrs who risked their lives for the very protection of the people. Let us forget our society denominations, unite and not divide and celebrate this New Year with hope and faith.

Wishing one and all a very advanced Happy New Year and may all your wishes for the year come true. :)

Pre-Holiday Food Drive!

I am going to share with you guys about Pre-Holiday Food Drive conducted by a very famous organization called Cydcor. They are promoting up on an event for a good cause in which we can do our share by promoting it.

Cydcor has stepped up its volunteer efforts and encouraged its employees to participate in a pre-holiday food drive. Amid an economic downturn that has contributed to rising need, many local food banks are seeing heavier demand during the non-holiday season. Cydcor Chief Executive Officer Gary Polson encouraged team members to get involved in Manna's food drive efforts after learning about the food banks' plight leading into the heavy-use holiday season. More than a dozen Cydcor employees immediately took action and purchased goods for the cause. I would like to ask one and all to promote this so as to help them in their volunteer efforts.

I will just quote the press release just for your information:

Cydcor Employees Donate to Pre-Holiday Food Drive

Team members of leading global provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams give groceries and hygiene products during economy slump.

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) November 11, 2008 -- Employees of Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, donated 26 bags of groceries and hygiene products to a Manna-sponsored food drive in October as part of the company's ongoing community philanthropy.

Amid an economic downturn that has contributed to rising need, many local food banks are seeing heavier demand during the non-holiday season. Cydcor Chief Executive Officer Gary Polson encouraged team members to get involved in Manna's food drive efforts after learning about the food banks' plight leading into the heavy-use holiday season. More than a dozen Cydcor employees immediately took action and purchased goods for the cause.

I'm thrilled that Cydcor team members are making an increasing difference in communities where we live, work and play through charitable efforts like this. This effort will benefit so many people at a time of increasing need," Polson said. "We hope to continue our donations in times when the collections hit a slump - before Thanksgiving, after Christmas and during the summer."

Cydcor puts a large emphasis on corporate philanthropy. In 2008, the company launched Cydcor Cares' Volunteer Day and Neighborhood Leaders Program, both of which are internal programs to encourage team members to become more involved in their local communities and volunteer their time to charity, occasionally during work hours. Since 2007, Cydcor has maintained a partnership with Casa Pacifica, a residential treatment facility in Camarillo for abused, neglected and emotionally disturbed children.

Every festival is Christmas!

Life is short and the end is fast approaching. So, in the light of the recent terror attacks, the festive spirit is highly important and is the need of the hour. Religion, to me is only a path to reach God and all paths, however diverse, all lead to the same goal and hence, every festival, celebrated righteously, with the true spirit of brotherhood, is Christmas.

Lawyers for your Need!

Everybody makes mistake. Without denying the fact that its absolutely wrong to commit a crime, I would say there should be chance given for the one who commits or does any sort of wrong doing, to turn over a new leaf.

With this as a base, I would like to share a pretty interesting website which basically deals with criminal defence law in California. The Los Angeles Criminal and DUI Defense Attorneys at Kestenbaum Eisner & Gorin LLP provide answers to many of these common legal questions at their law firm daily. Questions such as, what happens when someone is arrested, how does someone gets bailed out, is there a requirement for criminal defence lawyer when someone is wrongly accused and many such questions are answered in a very efficient manner. The law firm is established to provide best solution possible for all the cases it gets and aims at helping out in very approachable manner.

I have always respected the profession of lawyers as I feel they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy society. A good lawyer is one who reads the situation well, does a lot of ground work and make the right move to provide the needed information and other things to safeguard his client. This is how everything is done in this law firm.

Classes in C++

This post might just be a little technical. It is dedicated to all those who are going for an interview. This is a very common question so let me just share whatever I know of classes.

Most languages offer primitive data types like int, long and float. Their data representation and response to arithmetic, assignment and relational operators are defined as part of the language. However, the language does not know user-defined data types. The programmer defines its format and behaviour by defining a class. For example, there can be a user-defined data type to represent dates. The compiler and the computer do not know about dates. Programmers have to define the behaviour of dates by designing a date class. This class expresses the format of date and the operations that can be performed on it. The way we can declare many variables of the primitive type int, we can define many objects of the date class. A class serves as a blueprint or a plan or a template. It specifies what data and what functions will be included in objects of that class. Defining the class does not create any objects, just as the mere existence of a type int does not create any variables.

Holodomor Truth!

I am going to share one interesting piece of information with you guys. It is the holodomor truth! You might be wondering what is it about. It is nothing but the truth about 'Holodomor of 1932-1933'. Scholarly arguments and facts about the 'Golodomor' in the Soviet Union.

So now the first question that might strike your mind is, what is a holodomor? The term 'Golodomor' means the mass hunger or the great hunger that caused millions of victims throughout the Soviet Union in 1932-1933. It is estimated around 6-8 million peasants deaths during the famine of 1932-1933.

The Soviet famine of 1932-1933 affected most major grain-producing agricultural areas of the Soviet Union, including Northern Caucasus, Volga Region, South Urals, West Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. The Communist governments of the Soviet Republics seized grains from the peasantry and exported most of their Republic's agricultural output to the West in order to sustain the rapid economic transformation "Industrialization" and "Collectivization", a policy designed by Joseph Stalin.

These were some of the quotes which I found in their website. They have many such interesting information and answers for questions like:

Was the Golodomor a genocide?

Golodomor or Holodomor?

Though it may not be the happiest piece of article for reading, it would still give a good read and something that will increase your general knowledge.

A Thrilling End!

The final test match of the year for India as well as England is poised for a thrilling finish. The match is in balance right now it is possible for anything to happen tomorrow.

It all depends on who comes out on a attacking frame of mind tomorrow as time will play a crucial issue. We have seen delays in start due to fog for all these four days so a delay is expected even tomorrow. If England gets early wickets and wrap up Indian innings anything below 300 then they will have a chance to win provided they bat well.

Indians on the other hand, if they score some quick runs and declare at around lunch, with the kind of form the Indian bowlers are in, they would have enough time to bowl England out and seal the series. I can't wait for tomorrow as it is going to be really interesting and entertaining!

Community for Entertainment!

I am personally aware of many social networking websites these days. Websites like Orkut, Friendster, Hi5, Facebook have all been pretty useful in building our social network. I just noticed another website called as the acobay, which is not really for sharing pictures, exchanging messages etc. but rather to help people who own or use same products, or visited the same places to network each other.

I just felt it is something very different and interesting as we learn lot of things of other people, their day-to-day activities and many such exchanges to keep our day filled with entertainment.

The procedure is very simple as you just have to register with them without even having to give your e-mail, put down something that you have like car, phone or camera and comment on what you would like to share which will connect you to people who have chosen the same stuffs. You may even add some stuffs to your wish list.

This actually helps you in gathering ideas, different thoughts, perspectives and plenty of information on something that you want to know. This is the unique feature of this website which I thought was really good. It is very simple yet very entertaining, so try it out!

Indians in full Control!

The second and final test match between India and England is going on in Mohali. It is the 4th day of the match and clearly the Indians are in full control of the match. They're leading by 151 runs with an innings to go for both teams.

Eventhough a draw would be enough for the Indians to seal the series, they would be looking to win the match thereby ending a very disappointing tour for England. They have already lost the ODI series 5-0 and losing the test series also 2-0 would bring their morale down ahead their series against West Indies.

Dream Deals!

The basic needs that you may require upon starting a business are utilities such as computers, printers, desk, furniture and so on for your office. It will be a very big headache when you think of the amount that you will have to invest on all these. This post of mine might just solve all those headaches as I came across a website which offers discount coupons and online promotion codes for stores that are very commonly used for these purposes.

They are the primary source for Office Depot coupons, Office Max coupons and Staples coupon code. Now that Christmas is also fast approaching, they are offering Christmas sales on electronics items and other accessories as well. You can easily access all the discount coupons for office accessories, electronic items, stationary items etc. right from the comfort of your house. We have to grab the opportunity when it comes knocking on our doors as I feel this is a very good bargain and nowhere else we get opportunity like this. Products like computer and electronic items may be purchased for personal use as well. It is much more cheaper when you get it this way rather than going to a store and ordering which is very taxing and expensive comparatively.

I am really satisfied of this deal and hope this piece of information would be good for you guys. :)

In need of a 4-Wheeler!

I am sure many of you guys reading my blog will be having good knowledge of cars and information related to it. I am looking for suggestions from you guys as my father is planning to buy a new car to replace our current one. Our monthly running is 1,000-1,200 km. We are looking for a car that is comfortable especially the rear portion and of course hassle-free to own.

It will be mostly chauffeur-driven and occasionally driven by me. :P I was actually considering the Laura Ambiente, but it exceeds our budget. I love the looks and interiors of Honda Civic, especially the "V" variant but I am not very sure of its performance. From what I have heard it is not very fuel efficient.

If any of you have any ideas that matches my criteria, kindly let me know. :)

Lawyers for your Guide!

Los Angeles DUI Defence Attorneys | California Drunk Driving Lawyers guides one in any tough situations and deals with all the questions that comes to you regarding laws, arrests and other details related to it.

I hope this piece of information be useful for anyone who is in need of it. I just hope everyone obeys the law and order set for a safe lifestyle.

Negative Impact!

In this world of sky-rocketing prices, when every eligible adult family member is pushed to earning, where does one find time for physical fitness? Lack of physical fitness leads to many health problems, when we cross the age of 40.

Because of the highly competitive academic world, children are not allowed to do a little stretching in the evenings, since it is considered a "waste of time" by parents. Despite reading many articles on occupational health and postures, how often do we observe the same in our busy office schedule? Sufficient focus on health alone can shield the impact of this changing lifestyle!

Warmth for this Winter!

I am a huge follower of fashionable stuffs. From the clothes we wear to the accessories I will always be on the look out for interesting or catchy stuffs. The way we present ourselves is really crucial these days as it plays a major role in all aspects these days. When we go for interview, the interviewer give points for how we dress up and present ourselves apart from the technical knowledge.

Since it is winter now, I was desperately looking to get a woolen coat. I came to know of an online mart which sells mens cashmere coats. What impressed me most was the fact that it had several variety and stylish wool overcoats. They were all unique and nowhere else I have seen this much varieties and designs. Another striking aspect of it was, all those wool overcoats were made of the finest wool’s in the world.

The primary purpose it should serve is, it should be good quality wise and also effective in the sense that it should keep myself warm. The other factor which I expected was, I should look good wearing it so that it portrays a good image of myself. Upon looking at the model coats in their website I got assured that it will satisfy both my expectations. I liked the Darwin in particular as the color was really unique and the cuttings were perfect for my body fittings. The price of it was also really affordable and it would be a great bargain for me to get a coat of high quality at an affordable rate.

The OZ power!

While all focus has been on India vs England Test series, the top two ranked nations are playing what is turning out to be a great match. Australia clearly dominated the match for almost all sessions except the last when South Africa made a stunning come back. South Africa were set a challenging target of 414 runs with a day and 2 sessions. Smith and Amla played brilliantly to give South Africa a great start guided them to situation where a win seems likely for them now.

Just when South Africa seemed to take control of the match, Johnson struck for the Aussies removing the in form Smith. That actually broke the partnership and Amla didn't last long either as he lost his wicket to Brett Lee. I feel now the match is in balance and whoever performs tomorrow will emerge as the winners.

Safeguard your Vehicle!

Everybody knows my love for cars. I really love it and I am too passionate about it. In fact I take care of my car just like how I take care of my wife and my family. I value it so highly and it is precious according to me. Now being more general, in spite of all the care that we take care of our vehicle, the risk factor will always be there.

I came to know about us fidelis which basically offers extended warranty for vehicles. It will be really beneficial during time of service and high auto repair costs that we might have to spend on. They offer several other services such as Rental Car, 24 hours roadside assistance, Trip Interruption Protection etc. Do check out their website and I am sure by getting associated with them we will feel secure about our vehicle.

It is do or die situation!

Yes I am talking about England's situation in the second test match played in Mohali. After getting solid a start, thanks to Gambhir and Dravid, Indians are looking comfortable and piling up the runs. England did show signs of comeback when they took quick wickets of Sachin Tendulkar, V.V.S Laxman but Yuvraj Singh and M.S Dhoni has consolidated the innings and been getting the needed runs.

It won't affect the Indians much even if the game ends in a draw as they have already won the 1st Test match in Chennai. This means that for England, it is a must win match to level the series. Anything other than a win would compile the misery for England as they already were beaten in the ODI Series 5-0.

Protect your House!

The recent flood near my place caused havoc in and around my area. This brought about the concern in me about my home as I have spent lots of money investing and doing some interiors. As this being my first ever investment, it is a sentimental house for me and thereby I want to protect it any cost. Now if due to some natural disasters or other unwanted happenings if I am made to lose my house, it would be really unfortunate. Therefore I decided on taking up a home insurance just for precautionary purpose.

Another thing is in the future if I plan on to rent my house, and if there are some damages caused by the person to whom I rent, I can be assured of reclaiming by original house without much trouble. These things influenced me upon going for Ann Arbor Home Insurance. They seemed to be the best in business when compared to other and I strongly suggest one and all to consider them if in case you are planning for a home insurance as well.

UEFA CL draw

The draw for the UEFA Champions League quarter finals took place yesterday. My personal view of the draw was that, we viewers are in for a treat as there are matches that could have been potential final.

When you have matches like Inter Milan vs Manchester United, Real Madrid vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs Juventus, Barcelona vs Lyon, Roma vs Arsenal, you might be wondering why are there top teams meeting each other at such an early stage. The reason behind this was in the group stage several top teams had finished as runner up and thereby causing this situation.

As I have already mentioned these matches could have been a potential final and we as football fans are previledged to watch more than one final. ;)

Be Safe than Sorry!

Last night I had a bad dream about me facing death. I have always valued my family more than anyone else. My wife, children, parents all played a crucial role on all my achievements this far and it would not be fair on my part to just leave them when that dream becomes a reality.

It is not that I don't care about them now, I have always shown my care and concern on all matters to each and every member of my family. But it is when I am not around that I am really concerned now. Whether they would be able to or not able to survive is another issue. For my satisfaction I realized the need to do something for my family even after any potential negative happenings.

I came to know of NAA Life’s mortgage insurance and several other plans which I felt would do justice to my family in any worst cases. I felt it is just not about a piece of paper but rather a sense of satisfaction and an investment in piece of mind. Their plan included the likes of burial insurance, life insurance, mortgage protection insurance, etc. Each plan has a detailed listing which I went through thoroughly and it gave me the satisfaction that my family would be protected even in the case of my death.

IceCreams = Yummy!

If there is one thing in this world that I cannot or rather hard to live without, it is ice creams. I have ice cream very frequently as they are too delicious for my liking. I can even go without food for 3 continuous days but I cant live without ice cream for that long a period.

I am really choosy about the flavors I have. So far the best is "cassata" followed by chocolate, pista, strawberry and vanilla. I openly declare that if anyone wants to get something from me, you may actually get it easily by bribing me with ice creams. :P

Incorporate for better business!

World is getting really competitive these days. Every business we do, whether it is a small scale business or a large scale business, we have to put in efforts to reach heights and achieve our goals. I thought of writing this post for all those who are about to start a small business.

Having experience of starting a business of my own, I do agree the fact that initial stages of starting a business will be tough but as we work, we will definitely get the experience to face all situations boldly. Making decisions is really crucial in business. Now I shall put you guys on spot and make you think especially for all those who are about to start a small business.

I really felt it is absolutely necessary for those who are starting a small business to consider incorporating their new company. Now I am sure you might wonder why it is so. The two primary reasons to incorporate a business are that, there is no personal liability for the obligations and debts of the business and secondly by incorporating, it gives your business or the company a professional touch. Now, that is really crucial as your company's image is at stake. Another thing that I would like to mention here is that you can actually incorporate a business in any state and the best part is it can be done in no time without a lawyer or anything. Other benefits include lowered personal liability and favorable tax treatment.

You might be wondering who to approach now for this. You need not worry about that as I have found a very able website in the name of Clickandinc.com. I felt it is a step higher than other in business mainly because of the fact that it focuses exclusively on small business owner. Once you form an llc your business is assured of reaching great heights thereby giving you the much needed satisfaction of doing something really useful. So I suggest one and all to look into it without any hesitation.

The great Wall of India

"The wall is back". I am pretty sure most of my readers would know who I mean by wall. It is none other than Rahul Dravid. After going through a bad patch in his cricketing carrier, he seemed to have found his touch back as he scored a half century in the test match against England.

Although he had a nervous start and couple of close calls of getting out, he managed to get the momentum going as he played some brilliant shots. His innings was somewhat slow as he recorded strike rate of less than 40 per 100 balls but nevertheless it stabilized the Indian innings after the loss of Virender Sehwag early. I believe India would be stepping up a gear looking to increase the scoring rate after the steady start today. England on the other hand would be looking to take early wickets and put India under pressure.

Web Hosting Details!

In today's modernized world, almost everything is getting computerized. Every organizations or at least those that I know, has a website of their own. It is actually a good source of advertisement as it is getting exposed to internet users around the world.

These days it is also getting common for an individual to have a website for personal use. I personally have seen many of them hosting their blog in a website or having a forum for discussion or uploading songs/videos for others to download and for many such reasons. Now that it is getting very popular I have also noticed few people who are having similar interests but not having idea on how to integrate the contents into the website.

Therefore I decided to write a post just to help them with information such as domain purchase, the web hosting part etc. I just browsed through the internet and came across a website which had web hosting reviews, ratings and stuffs. They had in depth details of several categories including, listing of Web Hosting Rating, Web Hosting Awards, Web Hosting Reviews and other details which definitely will be helpful for anyone. I personally felt that it is a very reliable website and the information provided are valid and that for all those planning to host a website, it is the perfect place to browse through and get the reviews.

The battle continues....

The second test match between England and India starts tomorrow. This will be the final match of the series and thus England would be hoping to level the series while India would look to seal a 2-0 whitewash.

The first match was one that would remain in everyone's mind for the fact that India created history by chasing the highest 4th innings total in sub-continent wicket. India start as favorites but cricket is a strange game as anyone on their day can win. England would be looking for some consolidation because they failed to register a win even in the One Day series losing that 5-0.

I am really looking forward to watch the match just like everyone else in India, I believe. :)

Clasico and Classy Viru!

Entertainment at its best. That was just to summarize my entire day's experience today. It started as early as 2.30 am in the morning. The El Clasico was a class of its own. Attacking football at its best. I was sitting right at the edge of my sofa watching each and every moment of the game with great interest. I thought Real Madrid had the best chance in the first half when a 1-1 chance was left begging. Eventually Barcelona managed to squeeze in two late goals to seal an impressive win that extended their lead at the top of the table and looking good to win this year's championship.

Next up was the cricket match. For four full days England dominated each and every sessions and had actually given India a mountain to climb in the final innings but then with Sehwag in the team nobody ever can write India off. For a moment it looked as though it was a twenty-twenty match. He scored 80 odd runs at a blistering pace putting India in a position they never hoped to be in. Although it is still tough, Sehwag's innings has given India slight hopes of clinching the match provided a decent response from other batsmen.

It had been a great day thanks to all that I have mentioned.

Gems for the Weekend

It is one of those weekends which I am really looking forward not because of any outings, gatherings etc but to just stay home. It might sound boring but I am pretty sure no football fans in the world would want to miss what I call as two gem of a match.

In Italian Serie A the Old lady clashes with Red Devils. These matches always produces stunning entertainment. When you have personals like Ronaldinho, Kaka, Maldini, Del Piero, Buffon all battling in one single ground, what more would one ask for the weekend?

The second match is the El Classico, Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Its the clash of the giants in the Spanish League and similarly plenty of star players associated with each team will be battling it out for the glory. I will be glued to my sofa this weekend, the only difference unlike other occasions will be that I wont be bored. :)

Crack in the Wall!!

As much as I used to love Dravid's technique, I am forced to agree that time has come for him to call it a day. He has been great in the past without any doubt but he is going through the worst patch in his player carrier.

His average has been pretty low both in the Sri Lanka series as well as the home series against the Aussies. His poor forms comes no only through his bat but also in the slip position where he is missing sitters. Very clearly his confidence is low and I personally feel it is about time for him to quit before he is forced out.

I usually say form is temporary but class is permanent but whether this applies to Dravid's case, I doubt!

Reality Faced

The reality is faced. The 1st session of the cricket match between India and England just got over. After winning the toss, England dominated the session without losing a wicket and scoring 64 runs. Their two opening batsmen Andrew Strauss and Allister Cook built a steady partnership in spite of starting slow.

They invaded the pace attack of Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma brilliantly which actually forced M S Dhoni, indian skipper to bring on the spin attack as early as the 20th over. That didn't really change the cause as both the English batsmen played the spinners with ease.

More to follow.... :)

Galacticos Failure!

The first thing that strikes our mind upon hearing this term is Real Madrid. They were the inventors of this famous word that basically refers to the purchase of a star player. Even though it combines to form a mouth-watering team on paper, success was never guaranteed. Those times the team had all the ingredients or the capability to conquer everything.

Just imagine how would a team be consisting of players like David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Raul Gonzales, Casillas. These players all formed the Galacticos. But to everyone's surprise they never managed to put on a consistent performance thereby proving to the world that having star players in the team doesn't guarentee success.

Another famous example which I noticed regarding this matter was during the IPL season. Take into consideration Rajasthan royals and Deccan Chargers. Deccan Chargers were filled with star players like Adam Gilchrist, Symonds, Afridi, Gibbs who are prooven players in the world cricket but where did they end up?

Now take Rajasthan Royals, apart from Shane Warne who also lacked some good international cricket due to his retirement, they never had a "star" player but they managed to win the league with very good collective team performance. I hope I have given enough evidence to show that Galacticos if not always, most of the time fails. :)

Back to Chepauk Madness!

The last time I was at the stadium watching cricket match was during the IPL. That was ultimate fun one could never even imagine of. The dance, the beat, the mexican wave, shouting and yelling, babe watching. Babe watching? Yes these days you need not go to beach or shopping malls to watch babes, you can find hell a lot even in the stadium. They come there to watch the likes of Dhoni and co. but we go there to watch cricket and of course these gift of god. :P

Now getting back to the topic, the primary reason for me along with my mates to go there is to have total fun forgetting all the tensions we go through at home or colleges or even work. Now that the Test series between England and India is about to begin I am getting ready to mask my face, paint all around, and enjoy 5 days of action filled events. From my past experiences you actually get a lot more than just the cricket. Whether I get that, time will tell. :)

Langkawi - Malaysia - Truely Asia

This topic might sound strange to many. It is nothing but a holiday resort located in Malaysia. The reason I am writing about it is mainly because it is too good a place to spend our holiday.

We had actually went by a plane from Singapore and spent some solid one week over at the resort named Langkasuka Resort. Our room was simply stunning as the view from our balcony was breathtaking. We were actually able get direct view of the sunrise which was like amazing. The quality of food, entertainment and hospitality of the resort hotel were something that is worth mentioning.

It is the perfect location to be both with family as well as your loved one. The ambiance just makes it even more romantic which might just please your partner. If you guys are planning on a holiday and not sure of the destination then this place might just suit you. Have fun!

Champion of Champions

As I was browsing the internet, I found a very interesting game going on in espnstar.com. It is basically called as the Champion of Champions 2008. They have listed some 16 exceptional performers of various sports in this year and randomly have paired them. What we as users have to do is to pick one among those two by voting and the one with more number of votes will proceed to the next round.

The famous list of sporting personalities are Pacquiao, Rossi, Hamilton, Torres, Alex Ferguson, Tiger Woods, Tendulkar, Nadal, Phelps, CR7, Nicol, Bolt, MS Dhoni, Ganguly, Kobe and Abhinav Bindra. So caste your vote and see who emerges as the Champion of Champions.

Should I be Happy for this or Sad for that?

When there are two events of extremes happening concurrently, the dilemma arises as to whether feel happy for the positive event or to feel sad for the other. Life has taught me lots of lessons this far and many times I have been through this situation.

I would like to share one such situation of mine where in at one point of my life, I was made to sacrifice one love for another. Although the ideal situation would be to keep hold of both but circumstances forced me to sacrifice one which was really really sad. What got me going is the fact that I had something else equally to replace it. Ever since that, I learned that nothing in life is permanent and that one should never feel down upon losing a valuable and just get on with life. The valuable I mean here can be anything.

Floody time!

I personally experienced one of the worst rainfalls during my entire life. It was raining heavily continuously for 4 days which actually brought about water log to my surroundings. At one point there was even the risk of water entering my house.

Fire service personals were called in to rescue few people who were trapped in their house. When I walked out of my flat, I realized that the water was till my hip and increasing more so because of the fact that the lake nearby to my house started to overflow.

During all this while, the electricity was turned off and I had to stay home without electricity for two full days! That was too boring to handle for me. Just imagine staying home without computer, television! Now that rain has stopped and its a great relief for us and normal services has resumed. :)

Mumbai Strikes!

The scene of attack in Mumbai's bus terminal, Taj hotel, and Trident just brought me shivers. I have never witnessed such thing carried it for real. It was more like a movie's climax scene. I read about several first hand experiences comments made by those who were there and it I was able to feel how close they were to death.

One couple who were there in hotel got separated because of this attack as the lady lost her husband while trying to escape from the hotel room. The husband got shot by the terrorist while the wife managed to escape somehow. It is sometimes hard to understand the motives of these terrorists as innocent people's life are taken to stake.

These events just brings about the anger and the eagerness to destroy terrorists out there instantly!

Happy Birthday!!

This post is dedicated to my dear friend. First of all wishing you a very very happy birthday and hope you have wonderful years ahead, succeeding in every aspect of your life. You have always had negative thoughts about me but honestly it has never been my intention to hurt you or anything of those sort. I have always wanted to make you happy and see you happy(might sound a little too much but thats fact). Maybe in the past I was wrong in getting involved in too much conversational exchanges but that was not for any specific purpose but just wanted to be your best companion. I never knew that would lead you to some feelings which I dont want to mention here but nevertheless you have been special and will be special always. I was able to take in whatever you have given me in the past except for the last that was just way too hurting to bare. Anyway wishing you again a Happy Birthday and may you have a prosperous career and a happy life. :)
