Roadtrip to Awesome Pondicherry: Day 2

(Sorry for the delay in posting with the next post as I was held up with many stuff at my end, but yes I am finishing what I started.)

Day 2:

We had planned to get up early on the day 2, so that we can explore Pondicherry as much as possible. Well the time we got out of lodge it was 10 am. Then an hour for breakfast, to avoid any risk with our tummy we din’t try any new or local food. Instead we went for the industry standard idli, off course the coconut chutney was amazing. Made our stand up meeting, err sit down meeting to plan up what all to do, as we got a whole day. We decided to go to Auroville first, later get beached. Yay !!!

After some half tea, we got on the famous ECR (East Coast Road, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Coast_Road ) which runs parallely to the Bay of Bengal. With our Sun Glasses on, we hit the road (Off course, we were in flashback for Udupi and NH 17).

We reached Auroville, the universal town. Yes, kinda our universal app, its the universal town where people from around the world live in harmony. You can check with the Auroville wiki link for more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auroville

Okay, Auroville was build with set of 4 ground rules, (got this from Wiki Link)
1. Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But to live in Auroville, one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.
2. Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.
3. Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realisations.
4. Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.

Road to Auroville

Finally at Auroville

Strolled Auroville a bit, there were couple of boutiques, an awesome restaurant and few shops for handicrafts and other things. In one of the boutiques, there were amazing handicrafts on display, unique designs, boys bought some designer candles. After that, we just wandered around to explore the much heard place. Later we figured out that we ran out of time for the visit to Matru Mandir as it was Sunday. The timings to visit Matru Mandir was until 12.30 pm during Sundays.

We were disappointed for not making to Matru mandir, anyways we got enough time to explore the Pondicherry. Got cheered up after stopping for a quick smoke and tea, started again on the ECR. We entered Pondi in own style, explored town centre, later ended up at the beach. Figured out, the Pondi is built in terms of blocks and every road leads to the beach, great thought !!!. The town has a decent infrastructure, but you gotta see the style of building architectures, pretty awesome. Most of them had french ques, off course it was ruled by french before Indian Independence.

A for Apple, B for Bull shit…

Hi Guys,

It’s been pretty long time since I updated my blog via a post, that’s due to busy with project and other stuff. Even Ramzan was there, whole schedule got change but loads of things changed (doing all namaz these days, I hope I will continue this). And Avi left for bang for better opportunities, and this that that…

Idea of this post: When Farheen (my little sis) was learning English as normal kids she was learning alphabets as A for Apple, B for bull shit etc… That time I was bitten by automobiles bug, and I knew Farheen was not a normal kid and she need to be different.

So for her learning I came up with a list of automobile companies to learn as A for Audi, B for BMW. Howzz this..?? During those days I was just exposed to Overdrive magazine and news and TV. With the help of available resources and knowledge I created my list then, so this is the list…

P.S: This list is incomplete for few alphabets, if people know any of the companies which I have not listed here then shoot me the company name so that I can update this, mostly for my kids (they will be freaks, sure)… Lol…

A

Alfa Romeo, Audi, Aston Martin, Aprilla, Ariel

B

Bajaj, Bentley, BMW, Bugatti

C

Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Citroen

D

Daihatsu, Dodge, Daewoo, Ducati

E

Enfield (Royal Enfield these days)

F

Ford, Fiat, Ferrari

G

yet another lafda: This time with cops

Dude, we got screwed up this time badly. What to say, this happened to us last weekend. I am not taking any names of my friends who got involved in this. Will just use the initials.

 It was friday, around 10 p.m Mr A calls me to come to Hotel Aishwarya (It’s a hotel like Maharaja during BEC days.). Then I went to Aishwarya to meet friends; there were 3 people, Mr A, Mr P and Mr N. They finished their dinner (of-course with drinks), they were half drunk (you can say it as out) but my friends have great capacity they can control themselves.

They payed bill and we all came out, and I was planning for Tea at Santhekatte, then Mr A got a solid idea, to go to Malpe Beach. I was like fuck off dude, as it was already 12 and these days at night police are in a strict vigil, but as usual we all agreed for the beach and left for beach after buying a KF tin from Aishwarya.

I was feeling something like we get intercepted with police. I said to others, they were like “Chal re, last week we had gone there nothing happened”. Then we started towards Malpe at 12.15 a.m. And these days damn cold here at night. While riding, I can say that I was shaking terribly due to cold.

Reached beach in 10 min, and we parked our bikes in a well-lit place. So that If anyone wanted to know they could look at bikes. We started our chat, smoke and booze.

Suddenly a vehicle buzzed of, we thought police but it was a tempo. And we again continued our rituals. After 15 mins, we saw a vehicle coming to beach. We were thinking of some bus or tempo this time. But it was different and my nightmare came true. It was a police jeep and it halted near our bikes.

“Damn”, I said and we all went towards them. Mr A and P started to fight whether to throw the tin (beer) or no, finally they threw. We reached the place there were two cops.

Cop 1 “Documents please..!!!”

“We don’t have sir…!!” A and me said in synchronous.

Cop 2 “Show us some ID proof”, ID proof that to during 1 a.m. Man where we got stuck.

We had our ID proof and gave to Cop 2, he took the ID’s calmly and kept those in his jeep and they started to move. They said to collect ID’s from the station tomorrow.

Fuck, station..?? Man, we were like freaked, screwed, adrenaline pumping… Finally we started to justify saying blah blah.. This that, but cop started to say bout “Bhayotpadane (terrorism)…” thank you sir..!!

Cop2 started to use slang, I..?? “Theek hai sir, mere dost log isse zyada mere pe gaali marte hain”.

End of the mail:

So…!! How was it..??

Guys, here are other adventures of VIN, which I know. Remaining have to find those…

Recently Happened: This kamina, on Jan 24 rode his bike (RX 135, yes the devil RX) from Bengaluru to Bellary alone. He left Bengaluru at 3 p.m, bcoz he was getting bored at home and reached Bellary by 10 p.m. Kya freak hai, he wanted to come to Udupi on bike from Bengaluru many times. Saala kamina…

w.r.t to Career: Vin’s first job was at Jindal, Bellary. His job profile was some maintenance engineer. Jindal people provided him a Tata 207, to roam inside the premises. He had comfort of home, good package also. VIN din’t liked the job, was missing friends and couldn’t roam much in Bellary, just CHUCKED off his job at Bellary and went to Bengaluru.

In Bengaluru, he tried his best but din’t get a nice job. Later TOYOTA had interview for Automobile Engineers, it was in BVB Hubli, VIN managed to attend the interview, ( Dude, I gave you small treat with Guru that time, this time when you come to Udupi, again Downtown and Cock’s and Mock’s ). And to his bad luck the interview was postponed, dude remember that Bus lafda with me and GURU. TOYOTA held the interview again, I think some 80 wrote it and some 16 got selected in that our VIN was also got selected.( Yep..!! these days he is in control unit of plant, responsible for whole unit, like our modules in Project)…

So these days Vinay is on the rocks… Cheers VIN…

Visit to Udupi: God, can’t explain.. I think for this I have to write a separate post. Finally Vin, got time to visit me. He came for 3 days, visited his friend in Mangalore for 2 days, on 2nd day he came to Kapu, and from Kapu I picked him.

And the hell starts here:

I picked him by 8.30 pm there, and started riding towards Udupi. I am sure, Vin got fida over NH 17, but much traffic was there. We really enjoyed the ride, especially me bcoz Vin got time to come here. Reached room, got freshed, showed him my Ferrari, R1 and Lambo, and got ready to become celebrities…!!!

By that time, everyone was gathered at Avi’s room. I introduce Vin to others, and Satish said regarding Vin. “Hey, Vinay is a complete dude…!!”. Initially for everyone was like formality, then we started to move towards Downtown. 5 guys, 2 bikes… Thanks to Avi and Vin, they got involved very easily.

Reached Downtown, and started the party. Initially started with starters and others, and finally had drinks in terms of rounds, repeat pe repeat as if world is gonna end tomorrow.

Great part starts here, we started to dance. Vin was happy, and he started his steps (Vin dance really well and he has good taste of songs). We danced to lot of songs, finally Satish got opened up and ye lo, full downtown mein hum log hi suru ho gaya. Even others started to join, every one got mingled up and full habba in downtown… Vin taught us few dancing steps… Thatt teri kya, kya kya kiye re…

HOT n SPICY session:

After downtown we were joined by Shrishail, Ram and Subrat. We went to Hot n Spicy for dinner, bcoz in downtown we just had drinks and snacks. We got table, and started for dinner. And there also lafda started.

You know what, we had a knowledge transfer session on the latest “GAALIYA”. Yeppa, VIN, avi and me had long discussions on latest gaaliya… Vinay learnt a few like Habba, Maga, etc.. Later avi learnt whole dictionary I think. Satish and Abhay were shocked hearing us… Kya bolu… Later went to end point for walk and get together. Abba, here also long discussions and guys were smoking like as if there mouths are chimneys…

Finally left end point as security guards told us to vacate the place… (Dude, due to recent pub attacks in Manipal everything gets closed by 12 ). On Sunday we saw GHAJINI, and just roamed Udupi, Vin was the first friend of mine who came to Udupi and din’t visit Shri Krishna Temple. Kamina saala…

On sunday Vin went for Bengaluru, after he went when having tea with SCAMS (friends from office), one of my friend said “Vinay came, he fucked us and went happily”.

10 facts bout Vinay:

1. He had left long hairs in third year, even though long hairs were not suiting him, he came out with best looks and styles.

2. He bought N83 set, and he was so fascinated by his cell he wanted to perform a operation of it. So he dissected the set, and aaila, he broke the connection between keypad and screen. It’s a slider phone..

3. Did lot of circus to get RX 135 from home.

4. Played NFS and GTA as if they are regular engineering subjects.

5. Wrote internals in room only.

6. He danced in the college fests and events really he used to ROCK the place.

7. Opened a mess account in a local bar.

8. Dream Car: Ford GT. Dream Bike: The one and only one “Yamaha R1″.

9. At room we used to listen our list of songs all the time, really Vin those were great days.

10. Has a mighty heart for everyone. He was there whenever someone needed him. Thanks dude..!!!!

For time being this is it, can’t think more on him. He is there in my facebook and orkut, you can add him.

 

To Vinay,

Hey dude, I am sorry to post bout your mail and deeds. But I felt awesome when I read your road trip mail, and I wanted to share bout that with my other friends, bcoz you are a god damn freak and people don’t know there is someone like you. And last thing is my friends from Udupi want you to come to Udupi again for masti and fun.

Dude you really rock, don’t mess up your stuff for external reasons and others.

Hey dude, thanks for everything..!!!

Right here, right now: Fat boy slim.

Your ex-roomie

Mohsin

 

Chetan: We are gonna miss you dude…

Hi, let me introduce you Chetan Naik. The same Chetan Naik, who we used to call him Captain. Kya bolu, he is gonna leave Udupi in a matter of few days and this post is for him.

As far as I know, I was introduced to him by Abhay ( as he was his room mate ), from that instant we had a great feeling towards each other. Its the feeling when you meet same kind of people who have same attitude and supports your interest. During those days I was busy with my project and other stuff, even he was busy for his project.

Later it was in SKB’s marriage where we met again, as we had arranged a bus to reach the venue I got chance to be with Chetan ( I think, there I did the mistake… Lol ) and we started to create havoc where ever we went or spoke or discussed.

In marriage as usual we were in form looking for pottiya’s and thus most of the things between him and me matched. Lot of stuff dude, don’t ask. Later we went to Bekal fort and I and Chetan tried for Dil Chahta Hai pose and we were unsuccessful due to bad light and wind. At the End Of the Day we got to know each other well and I got a great friend who is always there for me to guide and sort the things ( even sponsor during the month end ).

After that we started to meet and became friends, he used to work late nights and even me. So while going room, we used to talk a lot bout career, job, project, cricket, F1, automobiles, other friends etc… ( Pottiya of course…) and later meet at Khushi for the breakfast. Earlier I dint have bike at Udupi, we used to plan what all we are gonna do when I get bike ( Most important was to get a girl friend, till now I have not done  ) and he used to give me moral support when I needed, thus he became a HERO for me. ( Dude, you rock man, hey you remember S. Raghavendra from MIT, we met him at mocks and shocks dude… He he…)

Hello world!

Hello world !!!

Last time when I spoke to my friend ( my sister ), she just blew me by telling as my English is not good. She said “Not up-to the mark”, I got confused and felt low. I wanted to bring it up-to the so called mark, then I took it as Open Challenge ( i.e to achieve something which is hard for me to do ).

Idea to start blog:

As I was looking into one of my friend’s blog, he had started to blog to improve his writing skills and I to thought “Blogging” can me help me to improve my standard of English. So the world of Blogging, here I come. I have the following reasons to start blogging.

1. Improve my communication skills.

2. Can openly express my idea’s to the world.

3. Can share my experience and knowledge to the world.

4. Get updated with the current technologies and trends.

5. Get connected with friends and make some friends.

With these 5 points in mind, let’s hit it. So my first blog is “Hello world !!!” , Hello world is the first program when some one enters into a learning a new programming language.
