Home Alone Journey.....

Hmmm... it's been quite some time that i have written something...

This is about me and my small journey as a Home Alone... My parents are out for 6 months... and here comes all the responsibilities....It seemed very simple to me and was confident of handling it... so far so good....

Its now been more than 1 month now... and am feeling good about it... i have done well... but seriously speaking...i never thought staying alone is a real tough task. Its also about maintaining your house clean... (for me this is the biggest thing...)Well if you have some one in the house, you always go care free...

Now every time i leave my house and building, i continue to think that i hope i have closed the curtains.. taps are closed and gas is switched off. and yes.. all the electric utilities are switched off.... while i had my parent here, it was just what am i suppose to do today or just a simple BYE to my MOM....LIFE has changed so much...i still recollect those days when my mom used to be behind me in the morning to eat an banana and than leave the home... and i refused to do that.. Now i make sure that i eat a banana and than leave home...Things that i used to say No are now become a necessity of my life or probably it was the right way and perhaps i never understood it.. till i got into it...

I still recollect how my mom used to wake me up in the morning at 6.15am and still say that mom give me 5 mins...and it continues and finally there's a yelling from the Kitchen and finally i used to get up at 6:50/7:00am.  Today i get up at 6.15am sometimes by putting about 3/4 alarms.. and shamelessly i have asked my friend to give me a wake up call everyday...For few of the weekends.. my maid servant went on a holiday spree and this was the most toughest time....I had to wash utensils, sweep the floor, clean the house and finally washing clothes..iI was too tired and now i can think of our mothers doing so much of work.. specially after wearing a jeans for 4/5 hrs and putting it for a wash... Earlier it was so easy... WHY? BECAUSE, Mom used to do it....Also there were days when i cooked food like Khichadi, fried rice, and Dalrice on my own and it was too good... i am so happy for this...but really miss those variety of food that mom used to cook....

Parents mean a lot to me.. so that we are there and we go in the rite direction... They are the ones with whom you can share about friends, office people, work...etc...they are the ones who can understand you... and also pamper you sometimes...Also i used to gight a lot with them.  but still I had a great understanding with mom and a bit less with my dad(we had fights based on our religious views) from my parents and they kept on supporting my decisions..this was true because they had the confidence on me and now even lot of my friends share their things with me for some help that they require...

I now feel that i am responsible for the house.. need to take care of this and also all the belongings... but whenever i miss them i just make a phone call .. (thanks that ISD rates are down)

All in all had a great going for the 1st month.. and hope that it continues and will keep you posted on the next..Hope that it doesn't get more difficult in rains.....Keep watching!!!

Cheers....

Stock Markets and Telecom stocks....

So is everyone minting money in the recent rally of stocks in the last 2 months.....If not then still no time is bad time to enter the markets because these days hardly the stocks are moving at higher price due to fundamentals.... its all the brokers who are making the play....


Some good stock tips: 
Idea Celluar  buy below 60Rs, Welspun Gujarat buy below 250rs, Bharti Airtel (Golden Egg) buy below 340 rs..ICICI bank buy below 700rs... these all stocks are trading at quite high but buy when there is a dip..


Also these days all the telecom companies shares are free falling. Buy on every fall because these are all going to go up soon.. as there are fundamentally strong and theres no reason for them to go to such lows... the govt views on the per second pricing is not so clear... thats the primary reason for the companies to have a free fall. Idea and Bharti would yield good results once the rally starts in telecom stocks, which is soon going to come....

One more year added to my Life……..

Yes…. 1 more yr is added to my life……suddenly its looks like all my “masti” is gone…something from my life need is disappeared… I feel now a bit sophisticated...a person who needs to think of his career…. Need to think what has to be the next step towards my life… needs to look after my parents…. Suddenly all the thoughts are coming to my mind…… what has happened to me… it looks like now I am big enough to think all these things…..

Well it was midnight and cell phone started ringing while I was fast asleep…my friends were wishing me “Happy Birthday”. They were singing songs for me… this was the first time of my life when I was asleep on my birthday night…

I started my day with getting up up at 5:00Am--- I know it’s too early to get up…. Well I went to our temple “Jain Derasar”. Offered Puja and yes I was all ready to go to my Office “Netscribes”. I took my 7.27Am regular train from Dombivli and I was happy all the way.. It was my Day.. I could feel that… I was smiling all the time… it was a different feeling which came from within… No pains…no difficulties… no thoughts… All that was there ….happiness and it’s My Day…..

I got calls from all my friends whom I didn’t even expect… got scraps on Facebook and Orkut…. And it was all happy moment for me… still smilling…. As it was evening… I had a bday celebration at the office where my friends and colleagues were ready to smear my face with the cake…. And yes it was done so well that after washing my face, it was all shinning….I left from my office at 5.30pm for my home… I reached home by 7.15pm. there was something special for the dinner…I had my dinner with my parents and then it was fun time…..i met all of my building friends and just chilled and till 11:00pm we all went to have ice Cream… it was all fun…. I enjoyed like having done all the masti… and by the time it was nearing 12 midnight … I still received a call for birthday wishes… its was just a awesome feeling….

One thing which now makes me fear is that all my age to do masti is gone.. Need to seriously think on making my career… not that I never thought before… but the time is running… I wish to god to let me go back to my age of 18-23… let me be there and enjoy the life…. Let me be more “BINDAS”…..let me smash icecream on my friends face… let me put the ice in the T-Shirts of my friends and let me tease the gals…allow me to tie their duppata on the back side of the bench… let me throw paper balls on them and let me have more fun…let me flirt with them…..last week I met few of my very old friends and had wonderful time at Bandra Banstand… we all were dying to get in the pic… then at CCD and then having those Golgappas and finally Sizzlers…. I would have been the happiest person if god would have given my age back and send me back to my age of college and may be till the age of 23 yrs…

But now it’s the reality and time can never be back. I need to accept that. I need to be more focused….more understanding….yes since I am aware of it… I am ready to face it… but 1 wish I would always have in my life… If I had a Time machine and an option to go back.. I would like to live from 18 to23 yrs… every moment of masti….the fights…….. the anger.. the crush…. The flirt… the affections… I would again like to be in the most Notorious period of my life…

…………….A Message To God

Mumbai Meri Jaan ---- A movie dedicated to Mumbai Bomb Blast in the year 2006

A movie based on the daily life or may be day to day lifestyle of a middle class mumbikar and hats off to the director, producer and the all the Artist in the movie for connecting it to a middle class person and reflecting the aftermaths of Bomb blast.

I remember that day when I was working at Andheri west and just before the Bomb blast went off, we were leaving the office and it was 6.30pm. I had just switched off my PC and one of my colleague got a call from their home about the Bomb Blast at the station. We again started the PC’s and logged on to internet about the news… the number of bombs spots increased as we were refreshing the pages of the internet. We decided to stay in the office for the time being and then somehow I thought I need to reach the Andheri east station so that I can take a bus from there and reach Ghatkopar station and subsequently can take a central railway train and reach Dombivli. Also they had jammed the mobile services so I couldn’t call at home and let them know about me being safe. But then somehow I could call my neighbour’s landline and asked them to inform at my home that I am safe and will be reaching in 2 hrs time.

While I reached Ghatkopar station, there were few injured people who had sustained some minor injuries. There clothes were red in colour(blood - bathed). I some how thought of offering them water which I was carrying but couldn’t gather that much strength to ask them. One of them had injuries on hands and fingers. The blood was slowly dripping and they were trying hard to stop them. I cried and was helpless and was thinking what will be the reaction of his family members. I am sure he wouldn’t have worked for atleast a period of 15-20days. What if there injury would have been a permanent disability? What will be the life of that person? What if he’s the only earning member of that family?......
All these questions started in my mind and tears were running from my eyes and I tried to call my friends or family but since the phone lines were jammed, I was all by myself. I was nervous….my hands were cold. I couldn’t move myself and I was just crying. I was thinking about them. They got down at Mulund station. I kept on looking at them till i can see them.

When I reached home it was almost 10pm in the night. I couldn’t speak to my parents about this incident and I rushed to refresh and started crying again. I was thinking what is the life for some one who has lost someone in this blast or may be for those who have got any permanent disability, it is more difficult to sustain. The faces of injured people ran in mind and I could only see them.

Till date I haven’t spoken to anyone about what I had seen and still my eyes get wet when I think about the incident. I can’t forget this incident in my whole life. But today when i watched this movie, it thought of sharing this incident.

Even before this incident had happened, I had heard a bomb blast which had happened in a Bus near Ghatkopar station. The train in which I was travelling had just left the ghatkopar station. My train jumped in the air for a second and banged on the track. The driver didn’t stop the train. We could see some fire and smoke coming from that area, but since the train had got into the speed. We just left and then few people got a call from their friends and relatives telling them about the mishap. During that time I couldn’t understand anything and was just thinking of reaching home. My sister was in the next train and her train was stopped for quite a long time at ghatkopar station. She reached home quite late and started crying and hugged mom tightly. She caught hold of mom tightly for about 10mins and couldn’t speak. She saw the injured people who were blood bathed at that time.

While I was watching this movie, my eyes were filled with tears and couldn’t stop them. My hands were shivering. I could imagine the state of terror which they must have gone through and I saw the way people who helped carrying the injured people. I saw those blood bathed clothes and their hands helping for the better cause. Truly it’s the spirit of people that have kept Mumbai coming over such incidents again and again. This is what Mumbai is…and that’s the way life is carried. Even today while getting into the train, if these things come in my mind by any chance, I don’t board the train as I lose confidence.

But yes, I have got that much strength to offer water to an injured person. Or for that matter I can help people in such incidents. But I pray to god that these incidents shouldn’t occur as it takes away some lives of people.

I would request all to see this movie and pay a tribute to all those who have lost someone and pray to god for those who have survived that incident and bless all the people who somehow helped these people.
