Going on...

Although I came out of the accident with only a few minor scratches, I did end up with pain in hands and legs. However, it took 24 hours for the pain to show up at a significant level, which still wasn't very intense. I took advantage of the excuse and skipped swimming for two consecutive mornings. There is still some pain in the joints. I hope it won't be there when I'll wake up tomorrow morning.

The accident tore my shirt and a little bit of my bag. My clothes and bag protected me well. I didn't wear a helmet, and thankfully my head was left untouched. My bike is having a tough time these days. Last sunday I had its servicing done, along with a few costly replacements which had been long overdue. Then the accident led to a few more costly repairs. And today I found it dead in the office-parking with a tyre-puncture. Let's hope everything else is fine.

My mom slipped on wet floor today and had a bad bruise on her hand, which had to be sutured. The sutures will be removed in a week or so.

Crazy things happening out here...

Nahi Lagi :P

I had a small accident last night. I was very lucky - didn't get hurt anywhere except for minor scratches, both the mirrors of my bike are intact, and there is hardly any new screw up in me or my bike! Although my clothes and bag got messed up, I won't complain. But I am upset with the rainy slippery road and the guy who abruptly got himself and his bike into the narrow space in front of me on the road and made his way fast through the traffic, and made me apply my breaks, slip and lose control.

Thanks a lot to the guy who lifted my fallen bike as I came to it walking from 20m away where I ended up after a smooth slide on the road. Thanks also to Ashish Masson who saw me in mess from a distance and came to help me figure out what was going on and accompanied me to my home.

And lastly, thanks my kismet. The effect of shani is not so strong afterall :P

Back...

It's been a long time since I've made a real post on this blog. Of course there have been a few twitter feeds now and then, but those were accidental. As most posts on most blogs say, I will try to be more regular with posting on this blog now :)

A quick update - my dad had a bypass surgery in march and has recovered well, i've resigned from suzlon and will be out it on 31st May, the world seems to be going as planned towards its end in 2012, am still a happy bachelor...

I tried to play a bit with the theme of this blog, and changing it deleted the looong list of books that I had read. I wish I had preserved that list somewhere, coz now I don't remember what books I've read :(. What a waste!

My last week in Suzlon has so far been one of the most heavily loaded weeks I've had here. I hope I'll have a memorable farewell party at the end of it!

Chalo then, see you again. Do visit this blog more often now, and read whatever I write. And please comment, and all your dreams will come true. Thanks!

The 'Nasadiya' verse in the Rig Veda

There was neither non-existence nor existence then ... There was neither death nor immortality then. There was no distinguishing sign of night nor of day ... Who really knows? ... The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe. Who then knows whence it has arisen?

Nishkaam Karma

The nearer the goal, or the more visible it is, the more are we motivated to slog for it... If that's true (is it?), then how practical is the philosophy of nishkaam karma to follow in real Life?

First Mobile Post

Hi all. Posting after a long time. This is my first post from my mobile. I've become a huge fan of mobile internet and mobile apps. I've almost stopped using my laptop, sticking only to what's doable from a mobile phone (except when I'm in office, of course, where I've no option but to break my head with my beautiful desktop). Anything that's not feasible on my mobile, fails to push me beyond my laziness threshold. Besides, computers - laptop or desktop - seem like turnoffs now.
Addicted to Opera Mini and Nimbuzz these days. I strongly recommend these two apps. They rock!
