Funny Ponders

Its time to change myself rather than anything before. My initial steps would be to keep away from internet as far as possible. I observe that my productivity kept coming down as I spend browsing, chatting and reading news etc. Few steps as part of this initiative are : 1. Checking mail only three times a day 2. Open the browser only when needed 3. Not to be in chat the whole day . Lets do it for a week and see whether my mind will come out of internet addiction and laziness.  Not only keeping mind away from them, also allow it to do some activities which can restore my thinking capabilities (past glory ).  Someone can ask why do you need to write here before doing it. There is intention behind this. People after reading this will ask me whether I did them or not.  In that way a kind of reminder which keeps me alert in applying these decisions. Bye I will sign out my google chat and start doing it from right now. Good bye friends, I will call you often and sometimes on chat atleast on week ends. Wish me  good luck!!!!!

Every week end I am happy for the reason that I can take rest without going to office. But really during the week end I literally feels bore what to do alone in the room or whom I should hang out.  Certainly I miss  a girl friend here.  Some times movies, sometimes friends , sometimes sleeping , cooking was my typical week end. But yesterday it was sort of different week end which made me mentally satisfied.  Accidentally I joined by company’s team to join an orphanage which is about 20km from pune. We started around at 10Am and reached there and joined with those children. The kind of children those are staying there are nomadic tribes where they dont have a home to stay and keeps moving everyday to one or the other village.  They were abandoned by their parents and they were brought and kept in the orphanage. We played some games with them in which I have fallen while running and got my right hand injured , but fortunately nothing happened. Later we have taken lunch with them.  I helped in serving food for the 100 people with my hands.  Some are very friendly and asked whether I had my lunch, some are very serious , some are arrogant, some demanded more food than I thought was enough. Donating money never gave me happiness when compared to the physical service I did.  Later there were few cultural programs and later each of us donated some amount of money to raise funds. One thing that was worth mentioning was bike ride on my pulsar which I drove on 80KMPH for the first time.  It was fantastic and I have fallen on the bed after coming home, no energy to get up and even take water. Finally, week end ended with Bachna e haseeno.  Hope I can do more this kind of social service on the week ends.

I have this habit which is troubling me so much since childhood. I am sure many people share it. I get easily inspired by looking at anything exciting and aspire for it. This inspiration stays still for some days but implementation is null. When I look in news paper that a guy who has done wonders in sports, I immediately plays some game very seriously to make big in it.  It stays hardly two or three days and the next day I see some movie which has very good script and story. Now I start thinking about writing a movie script. If I listen to a very nice song, I start working towards lyrics and tune for the new one. My mind has this habit of picking up things very fast and finally ending up doing nothing.  My inspirations list continues…..When I interact with a person who has very depth knowledge in networks, I start googling about all network protocols to increase depth of knowledge. When I see somebody with six pack or nice physique, I start jogging, going to gym . When I see talented people owning a startup, I immediately starts thinking about business ideas.  When people asks me what are your hobbies, I can say inspiring, inspiring and inspiring.  Finally nothing consolidates, nothing converges. Its like going around in a circle taking the same point which is already taken. You move nowhere but got stuck in  a loop.   Inspiring is not a bad habit, inspiring on too many things with negligible implementation is worthless.  So my dear friends learn from me that inspiring on too many things lands up nowhere. Its  important to learn what to do from a person and similarly what not to do. So stop inspiring too many times and concentrate on solid implementation.

I just thought that I should write something about my favorite time pass and activity which is eating. As soon as I come from school, even before entering in to house I still remember shouting “Ma, What is for snacks today”. Its not that I am hungry, but want some variety of food to eat. My mom is so sweet that she will make sure that she is not repeating the preparation of same food what she has prepared the previous day.  She used to keep updating me with timely food without any delay. Puri was my alltime favorite during those days. When I visit my relatives house, I used to pray god that they should prepare puri that night.  If I just think now how weird it was? My relatives also know that I am food freak and used to prepare the same when I visit them.  I always have a desire to try something variety while coming to food. My mother used to learn some good recipes and used to satisfy my stomach. Even then I used to crib like anything and always lean towards outside food. Finally the days has come that I should leave home for education and I am so happy because I can eat food outside daily. As days went on I realized I was wrong. Then onward I used to crave for homely food. But what to do, when I have the opportunity I used to hate, but now no way I can get again opportunity as I was been living away from home since 11 years.

Dosa used to be my fav during +2 days. Mysore bajji is one more thing I used to like and almost eating the same every day. When I moved to engineering, my interests were pesarattu, onion dosa and punuku. Even my stomach is full I have a buffer which can accept variety kind of food at any time. My friends used to kid me saying that, thank god you are veg, if you are non-veg no chicken wud have been left for us. Here it was I got introduced to north indian food like roti, butter naan, palak panner, parathas and chineese food like noodles. Since it was a complete kind of variety I used to like it more. When I moved to IIT for masters there it was pongal that wakes me up at 8 every day, If I go beyond 8 pongal used to get less hotter in the hotel(tifanys). I was eating it daily for almost 1.5 years. When I moved to pune for job the whole style has changed. My punjabi room mate was panner freak and due to him I addicted to panner. Chilli panner, tawa panner, panner tikka masala are my damn favs here.  Another kind of food that I addicted is Dominoes pizza which is responsible for 50% of fat in my body. In Domi, I like Peppy Panner and mexican green wave along with Garlic bread with cheese dip. You order the same menu when u go to dominoes, believe me you would visit it again. Call em if you want more taste and more fat, I would suggest some nice toppings for pizza. I am so confident that I need not look at menu to order in dominoes. Next was my week end snacks at Sweet Chariot at Koregaon park where I like Sphagetti with white sauce and panner masala jumbo. Other varieties include sizzlers, pasta, italian pizza which I tried here. I am looking out for extra varieties to taste in my life.

This is my food journey which is still continuing …..
