The other day, i was travelling by our very own Air India. Though i must admit, I was as sceptical about the flight as I should be with the recent spate of goof ups that the national carrier has been so infamously known for.
The ground staff really didnt care to make many announcements informing the passengers and when they did, people responsibly headed where they were told to. Possibly it had nothing to do with the passengers being more sensible, but simply the fear of being left behind by the already slagging staff. Indeed, time wasnt really a bother for anyone associated with the airline, leading to a delayed start. Though such things come to fore, so do the facial expressions of the staff. The same was just expressionless. Be it welcoming you on board, or showing you your seat. The same was done with simply no emotion on their faces, making you feel as if they were doing you a favour flying you to your destination.
I must admit though, the air craft was one of the best that I had flown in. Not in terms of interior, but surely in terms of the smooth flying. Possibly it was the pilot but then there were simply NO air bumps, no sudden turns pushing you from one end of your seat to the other. So also as with all national carrier aircrafts, the seats too were spacious. The best thing about the national carrier which I was to find out later, was the food. Though not 5-star, it surely was steaming hot and reasonably fresh (as fresh as airlines can serve) The staff, though with the same demeanour were kind and accomodating to all passengers. With extra food being carried, the passengers surely filled up their tummies to last them quite a while. Tea and coffee was unlimited and served over again as requested by the passengers. Though it did feel nice to be treated nice when it came to food, but at the same time it felt as if I found one more reason for the national carrier not even breaking even. With an added delay during the flight, we ended up nearly 45 minutes late. All in all it was not a bad experience as I really didnt mind reaching a little after my scheduled arrival time. But, if at all the carrier wants to still run.. it has to
1. Be on time and get energetic people on board so as to make people more oomfortable at check-in to the time of boarding.
2. Make sure that you sell tickets at rates which are at par with the other airlines and not necessarily always a tad higher than most in the same sector. You simply prevent most from flying the airline in the first place.
3. The routes you travel need to be increased and so should the timings be in sync with business requirements.
4. Surely provide good food but care must be taken so as not to increase per person consumption.
5. Lastly, teach your staff to atleast smile if not anything else !!!
It surely would require much more than money to keep the National Airline afloat. Most of all it needs to realise that simply asking more money is not the solution. It is a long upward journey from here on. We the people are with you, but surely you cannot waste our money as and how you think to. Be judicious and you surely would come out of these difficult situations as well.

Married life
More often than not my friends ask me, "Howz married life man?" There are few things that can described in such cases. I mean, how do they expect it to change ? You sure cant stop going to the loo first thing in the morning nor would you take a break from work simply coz you not feeling like it.
But then, its surely not like it was before. You had to answer to only some one person (your mum or dad) and then u were scot free. It was routine for something like 25 years and hence the effectiveness for obvious reasons had been declining ever since u thought u had wings to fly high and reach and achieve everything you would lay your sights on. Now though there is someone who waits for you when you come back home. (and in the case of some, u wud have to wait for to come home :P)
Things change, your likes, your dislikes.. your wishes and much more. You want to eat this and she despises it(More often than not its the case), now you realise why someone said that opposites attract. She is someone who loves you the utmost with the purest of heart and hates u with equal intensity when you decide to stay longer on tour, or when you are away from her. Its that ferocity of emotions which are new, something you gotta get adjusted to.
A few years of courtship would be more than sufficient to understand your partner and then there is really a sweet simple nice smooth ride ahead of u. There are friends who are really depressed at the fact that they cant stand up to their spouses and then there are quarrels. Isnt it only compromise which allows for peace. Oh yes, she loves masala papad and i love mushrooms. It takes sometime to accept it and go with the flow.. :)
But then... it surely is a nice feeling. SOmething that I am sure is difficult to express correctly in words(sans jokingly).

TNPY
Yet again, am in Tamil land (No, please dont take me wrong. They are nice people, just a little different). Well, enter South India and there are a couple of things that strikes you. The weather, the language and possibly the people. I thought that the whole of India was one, but then I would be a little incorrect in that inference.
As you land at the Chennai airport and walk out, you get a call. Its your driver who has come to pick you up. "Sir, me waiting, you outside". And you had assumed that the South Indians know better english than most of the Indians. Doesnt matter you think. As you move out of the airport, you try and grasp the place, breathe in the city and try and understand the city. But then, you really cant read much. Its all only in Tamil. You tell the driver you want to stop for tea somewhere. He shakes his head and you have to say it again. He shakes his head again only to say "coffee". The car stops, you enter the restaurant and order tea (without looking at the menu card, you assume its there) and lo ! in sometime there is ... "coffee". "Very good coffee sir, this place", grins the driver. Whoa!! but then, there surely isnt much you can do about that. On the way you see the factories of Ford, Nokia and many more such engineering companies. But then, if you think you can read anything but the name, you are grossly mistaken. Thanks to the NHAI, which has made the roads, you do find certain place namecards on the sides of the road. Reach the premises and you are greeted by the Project Manager of the organisation. You start chatting with him in english, understanding that you dont know Tamil, and Hindi is hated like Hitler hated the Jews. You could be lucky, but mostly its luck against reality, the reality being different. He surely can speak english, just that the verbs and nouns can be interchangeable and be used in place of the other. But then, when with the workers or with anyone else, its either "Seri seri" or ille ille that one has to do. Or its the best language that comes to our aid and thats the SIGN language. The language barrier continues and one wonders /worries if he would be able to speak decent, grammatically correct english when he is out of the T land ? The news channels to the cartoon channels are all dubbed in Tamil and you search the 90 channel televisions for the 12 Hindi ones :)
I had always thought that India was a country of oneness, where people would learn new things and grow. Hindi we were taught was the national language. English we thought was the business language. But then, in absence of this for most of the population and the workforce, how does one grow? How and why do MNCs of the likes of Nokia, Ford, ABB, Godrej and many more come down to Chennai? Its possibly thanks to the nature of the people of TN. While on many of these trips, you learn from the driver, that many few people really want to shift to the cities from their villages/towns. Very few people are really interested to learn english as everything is available in Tamil, even movies are in Tamil and they arent like any other language movies. They are an industry in itself. Something that could give the bollywood a run for its money. But then, there it is that the secret of their success lies.
As bad as it may seem the very fact that the people here dont want to change enables them to attract the manufacturing units to their state.
Lets look at it this way, what does a manufacturing unit look for? It looks out for a stable and steady workforce. Who would be happy working and doing nearly the same thing every single day. They want a work force which would stay with them for long. Someone who wouldnt really want to jump and jump and move. The people here love their town, village and so on.. and undoubtedly so they prefer to stay there. Not move. Language barrier as there is doesnt allow them to go out of their state and so also makes it good if companies are very much in their own place. They get to stay at home and still work and earn a good living.
Most of the people in TN either go to South east asia (where they have tamil as a language being taught in school)or stay in TN. Never have i seen any other state with so many people working within the same state. Most of the states have their people going out and working. Businesses are again something that arent so popular amongst the middle class and seems like its kinda reserved for the higher class.
Well, good or bad thats the way it is here in the superstar's land. It gives you a feel that everything happens as if its meant to be.
All in all, its a nice green place with decent roads. Just that its a little too hot and sticky, but its nice to have food on a banayan tree leaf :P
Reminds me of Mani's Lunch home and the sunday lunches we've had there.
Heart with Japan.
of being not so one hits u. The scene outside the airport is still more unique. U cant read a thing !!! Its Tamil the driver smiles.

Nostalgic
Today has surely been one of the most wonderful days in a long long time. Not coz i won a lottery or something. It is something more precious than that. When one gets to spend time with ones friends, its the time of life. It had been more than 2 months since we spoke and some 5 since we last met. But then meeting him and talking on all matters for the past 3-4 hrs simply didnt feel odd. It was just the normal friend's talk.
Times like these remind u that real friendship is when u have a friend to stand by you and talk to u, even when u havent met or spoken to the person in ages. True friendship goes beyond the realms of time. Dont they say, "Time and tide wait for none" but i would add to this "but friends do" :):) All said and done, everytime i have spoken to my buddies or even better met them, there is an instant connect. Something as if we had just met the other day and here we sit discussing our lives, dissecting and arguing on topics associated to us or simly not concerned with anything in or around us. Formality, manners creep in at times in certain relationships, but then those are friendships i feel. For, true friendships are ones that dont end, or get complicated and difficult in case of absenteeism.
Today was one such wonderful day, with loads of time spent on phone talking to buddies and meeting up with one of them sitting late into the night doing bakar :P
Reminds me of those good ol days when we would hole up in a room in one of our houses and while our time away till morning came or someone else looking out for the noise and food trail.
Nostalgia also hits hard as the clock strikes 3:32am in the morning. Not a strange time for an MBA grad, but something very uncommon for a normal working fellow. Its a wonderful feeling being alone in the peace and tranquil of the night at this time writing down this piece as if reading the mind and expressing its thoughts.
How i wish i get to re-live many of those ol days. Its always fun to be friends, stay up at nights, do nothing much more than discuss philosophy, chicks, business and politics.... As for the time, i m sure such times are rare and too far apart to miss and not wish for more.
Cherish those wonderful days of life. Period.

Wave your flag !!!
When i get older i will be stronger they'll call me freedom just like a waving flag so wave your flag goes a song in this waka waka season.
But then, as the Ayodhya verdict nears, this song also gets a new meaning and a new direction. Who would be the last man standing ?? Good question i tell myself. I trust that the initial petitioners in the case are not even alive today. Its over 60 years that the dispute is going on and people including the media are getting excited about it. Everyone wants to wave their flag on the disputed property, claim it their own.
Why all this sudden hooplah on something that has been going on for the past half century ?? Why this appeal of peace from the PM ? We in India are hypocrites arent we? One on hand we claim that we are the world's largest democracy and on the other we are not sure if we can take a verdict which our acclaimed judiciary is going to give regarding an age old dispute. What is the dispute anyway one may ask. Its a dispute like any other land dispute. Do i own it or does mohammad bhai next door. There are religious sentiments behind this one, however does it really matter to the ramu bhai who comes to clean and sweep the building every morning or to rahim chai wala ?? Dubey the welder tells me that the court ruling is to come today. He was so excited about it. Not of what the verdict would be, but of the excitement and all the hype surrounding it. For him, it hardly makes a difference to him. As one gentleman remarked today, its not Hindu v/s Muslim. Its more like the title holders of the land who are in dispute and un-necessarily have dragged the hindus as a generalized set for political reasons.
Its high time India grew up to take such verdicts in its stride. We are a mature nation over 60 years old and we cant bend or buckle under pressure from unruly sources. Sadly Kashmir is still on the burner. Why would people not want their children to study ??? There is no way Kashmir is going to be free, not in the next 100 years !!! So why not accept it and live on. I mean, there are more benefits than problems if the unruly mobs stop pelting stones. I read the other day that a 15 year old has been charged of attempt to murder and is out on a Rs 25000 bail with a wailing father who is upset as to how he would get his 4 daughters married? Why have 5 children to begin with? Next, why should you allow your son 15 years in age to riot and throw stones on police ? If you do allow, there is no one to blame but yourself.
Phew !!! Relax people, i suppose now is the need is to breathe. Breathe in fresh cool air and relax.
Enjoy life these days though hate it is as much for it keeps me busy and gets me tired at the end of the day :) :)

Engaged !!!
"Duuuuuuuude... congrats " read a comment on one of the photos i had uploaded.
Unbelievable, hard to accept are just a few of the many emotions that i felt as the feeling set in, that i was finally engaged.
Many of the chums would ask me, isnt it a little too early? Some would simply ask me about the feeling while others would console me on the loss of my bachelorhood. For me, it was simply a long journey finally culminating happily. From the time nearly 4 years back, the road hasnt always been all this rosy and smooth and hence the feeling of relief, peace and sudden light feeling gives me the impression as if i can fly. For me, this small, brief quick so to say ceremony was nothing but the official recognition of our relationship.
Engaged, the word may have different meanings in different contexts, but the main crux behind it remains the same. Engaged - Attached. Attached with drr, with work, with life and with future. Its all in the word. Scary as some may put it, addition to the family. One would now have to worry on how the in laws would react, how they would perceive this etc etc and the cliche. But then, its all a part of the game aint it? Its all one big family. And with more members added to the jungle, its surely a fun thing. Placate one to annoy the other and irritate the third by making the fourth happy. Its feelings, emotions and a lot more.
As i get ready for the important innings in life, its obviously not going to be all that rosy ahead, but then... was it even till now i ask myself. Those days have passed and in future too will pass. Nothing is so enthralling as the feeling of being free. Free to talk, meet and discuss each other. Hold hands and cuddle. Free to think for a common future and the freedom to consult and be consulted.
Isnt it an oxymoron ? Engaged to get freedom ????
As it stands, its a wonderful feeling and one i will cherish for times to come.
21st feb 2010. The pics are by far the best of my own pics i have seen. Phew, i atleast managed to look decent.
Sachin just became the first cricketer in the history to make 200* in an ODI. Kudos to the Indian in this Marathi Manoos... :P

Released or captured
Life is funny. There are times of fun and sadness interwined together. There is never one more than the other. How in the world does God manage to give each and everyone just enough to be happy and sad at the same time???
Happy i resigned and sad coz i would actually have to work now on :P:P Hahaha.. jokes apart. The recent marriage of a friend was nothing more than that. Happiness and sadness together as if it were a package, incomplete one without the other. With the happiness of a union of two souls, it displayed what was more of an ego match being fought over a cause not even worth mention on my blog!!! (Imagine how small it was). An endurance test for me (One of the few after Paragana '08) it was a wonderful time spent with one of the best friends i have had and hence was a pleasure for me. Nonetheless, what happened after that, even i wouldnt know. How they fare is for them and their destiny to decide. But for the better good of their life and that of their friends and family, they bound together and accepted it as their solemn duty to be husband and wife. With all their agreements and disagreements, it was one ball of time for most of us. Tiring, enthralling, and a lot of fun with the pics sessions that we had, it was also a time to remember friends and catching up with them. Am sure, such times are hard to come by and rare. Missed DP. Would have been fun bitching more had she been there. :P
As for the professional life, well as i begin to take strides towards working with dad, i suppose i would have to make good the pay i get. The work would have to be worth every penny if not more and phew!! this after corporate life ?? Released or Captured is what i would have to ask myself. Undoubtedly it is nothing more exilerating than working towards what one feels is correct and for what we love most, but then its work right? This 'notice' time is for me to notice, how fun it is to work/not work towards the goals of the organisation and still be able to spend time in office. For me to notice, how callous, un-responsive and irresponsible certain colleagues are. Notice that it would be a tough time from here on when i would have to be working 6 days a week instead of 5 and would be getting no american type fringe benifits. But, all in all, it has been an eventful and not to forget a memorable week.
Last as always, Love u drrrrrr. Sorry i slept off early on your birthday, hope u like the watch :)
