Fatal fall!

Was too near to the windows without a bar!
Leaning too much to the wood!
A little too careless!

Should have been a serious injury it the height was taken into consideration.
But what a miracle!
Of all the body fall that I had that was the the most lengthy one.
It was a fall from height!

Surviving a 15 metres high was undoubtedly a miracle.
I was still wondering if that was a dream!
A playful kid I was in my 5th std, as light as a feather maybe that was the reason for my survival!
And

Ever since that incident falling was a part of life!
How many times does my body fall, crawl, roll, duck, jump, run, walk, dive......
Countless number and that is why falling is a big part in life.

What are the other falling?
Again, lots of them...deadly ones, wrong ones, tricky ones, tackled ones, etc, etc...

Fall for the ones that you cannot avoid!!

Waiting for the worms to come!

I was back again in College to collect one of my pending certificate.
"Sir,this is the third time that I had come here for this particular certificate"
Upon telling my wants the clerk in the counter says, (He continued his extra work of folding circular papers and putting them in envelope. He did his work real slow! There was another girl waiting behind me, After folding for around seven, eight minutes he finally got it done.
"Will you wait for sometime meanwhile i process this request and blah blah..."
"How long will it take?" I inquired.
"Half an hour" was the answer i got.
"What's your dept. no.?" he asked and he got the no.
I was waiting more than half an hour....
By the time my patience real got exhausted I had waited another four half hours...
I checked his bay, he wasn't there.
I waited almost another half hour when he came.
"What's taking so long" I almost jeered.
"I'm sorry, some other problems occured" he replied
"Can you leave other problems, please can you follow ageing concepts" I almost bellowed.
"Listen boy, Don't tell me what I should do first"
"Ok, please can you process with my request erstwhile I'm waiting here!'

He got me a good glance almost opening his mouth but rather conceal the words (that i thought might be some bad ones!) He rose to collect a book from the shelf.
I think that my condition was far better than the girl waiting behind!
When he returned he started checking the list that he have from his book. He closed it and asked me my mobile no. He got what he wanted and then he told me I can leave saying he'll give me a call in the evening! He also asked the girl to come the next day not inquiring what she wanted!
(As i suspected sure enough there was no call from him in the evening!)
I say to myself "Ya, there are people who can work like this!"

S's gone

This fellowwww....
We are friends by virtue. We shared a number of mutual friends!
The best thing about this person is that S used to call me by my pet name!
When I said upon completing my degree I'm gonna have a year off or rather a good break!
S follow suit! S has a thala's body size!
S' weight...will be a few quintals!
S looks rowdy if s wants to but a very good definition of how looks can be deceptive!
Adventure is one word that I mixed when saying the name 's'!
S once told me that s wanted to come to our community fellowship and s did and I guess s liked it for s says s wanted to come again...and the rest is an ongoing story!
S called up in my sleep saying that S wanted me to helped some girl for scripts and directing.
I hate s' guts when s did some proposals for s knew well how s can hooked me up with my interest! Then we will be frequenting LIBA canteen and college canteen for these purpose.
We ate, read, act and talked for hours!

Now 's' gone to the city of Joy and the S will find loads of happiness for I knew that happiness will bound its way to S! S's now a bit closer to my native than I am ! phew
Miss you S...

Nuke 'em!!

So many of them!
So many demonstration!
So many complaints!

It gives me headache!!
They shouted and throws!!
They wanted it off!!

In the beginning they laughed!
Last time they fight!
But who wins now??

Talking or Writing!!

I say to myself that i am what i am in my talking....in my stress and in my pitch!
for i know that perfect choice of words justifies for perfect speech....
People talked fluently but can't write fluently!! see lots of 'em.....and here is the line that tag the difference between them...and the reason...

The common fluency of speaking in most people is due to their scarcity of words and of matter; for whoever is a master of language and has a mind full of ideas will be apt to hesitate upon the choice of both. And if you look a common speaker having only one set of ideas and one set of words to clothe them in will readily use them. Nothing scared them for their choice and words usages.

So, can I say that common people speak fluently because they have fewer ideas....???
Nope..I can't...but think about this..
Isn't that people come faster out of a church when it is empty than when there is a crowd at the door.

When i was having an interview in one prestigious American based company. (they want themselves not to be called BPO rather they want to be called BPS, short for Business Process Solutions.) my interviewer asked me why i was hesitating two or three times in my speech.
He promptly got a reply in which i say i want to arrange my talking in the most appropriate manner and appropriate choice of words. He understand very well with my point.

In the light of my educational background as English Literature.
I knew somehow people judged me by my vocabulary to express my ideas.
Their expectations was that i should be having a rich variety of ideas and an equally rich vocabulary too. I guess I am aware of this!!
Sometimes i want to tell the whole world that i am a failed orator even in my own language!!
But at least in English i knew i want to build myself at least in some aspects and had already made some remarkable achievements so far.
I hesitate to talk because i was sometimes too choosy while using vocabulary to express.
And the reminder which always flashed across my mind was that English has now become Englishes!.
So i was very much aware that I was sometimes not as fluent as a common speaker.


and maybe in writing....


.........................................

A lifelong starts!

Not a typical students, they're my own.
Not a background check required for them as i did with the first three
(Thanks, they're still doing well, my proud ones! My three)

And now...my two....
I'm confident in them and so is their confidence in me.
Giving and delivering for their achievement.
Bearing together the obstacles and the damn irritation with our first journey
I sense that they're gonna be worth. Time will prove.
I am ready even to expect the unexpected with them.

Our journey until Kolkatta was pleasant despite our departure flight delay from Lengpui.. However the train journey from Howrah was the most horrible one. The day for our departure was the same day the Left Parties had organized bandh (in protest for price rise) from 6am to 5pm. Not wanting to be caught in between the bandh and our scheduled departure which is 2:50pm, Coromandel Superfast, we left for the station very early in the morning.
We reached Howrah station before 5am.
On reaching we said we're ready to wait for the next 9hrs!!

Now a heavy downpour started and around 11am the board started displaying cancellation of trains departure and delaying of trains. Passengers started mopping towards the exit but we still want to wait and we wait. Around 12:30pm our train name and no. was displayed and was delayed to three hours. what the......heck.... We're gonna wait until 6pm. and again we wait.
I looked at my boys and see sleep in their eyes.

Time tick and life goes on and our waiting was nearing to an end! and indeed the waiting ends!
We all heaved a huge sigh of relief when the train started moving towards our destination.

On reaching Chennai at around 12:30am we stop at a restaurant nearby and placed our order..
when our food arrived, we thought it was a hill and we started staring at it! In spite of our hunger salivating was a no-no-. we ask the waiter to pack half of the food thinking that we might need as a preventive. We're interest in paying without eating rather than actually eating it.
Had it been another day we'd be finishing half by now but that was the excuse.
We drink water to our fill.
We left the place and again! auto-rickshaw!!

They sweat a lot that night!

On contract for a real chase!

Woke up at 5:15am. T was already up and when seeing me he poured a coffee for me. (coffee was as sweet as sin, as hot as hell and as black as a dark soul!) Hmmn!! I always dream of a situation like this, like the hero we used to read in cowboy novels when we're kids in school.
Thought i was in a dream and still wondering how this had happened to me.
My love for adventure had me here.

Waking up in the midst of a deep forest and a warm coffee! Well, In spite of the location we are all having a comfortable adventure! A big thanks to our survival kit which is worth $200 (in discount).
I recall the nights when we're out game in deep woods during winter and when we can't sleep because of the damn freezing winter dews.
Now with the summer breeze and warm gear the nights are a comfort and passed away so soon! So soon after a tiring chase during the day.

Rats chase is not a considered a big game if its a lone rat chase but its really tiring when it comes to a chase of thousands of rats!
Chasing them for day after day and hunting them to got them caught red handed their devastations, destructions and to documents such was not an easy task.
There was a reward for killing a rat and a tail cost 1:50. Hey! I could be a rich man if i cut those which i have but never mind those rupees coz my reward is in terms of dollars!! For my two weeks reward of $1,500 I could buy them much dearer! Hmm....

Leave the adventure, cash and certificates alone but turning down the permanent employment offer was really a hard decision.. passport....passport.......hmmn...well

T, L, P, N...miss you all...
now a thousands of miles have separated us....
but i sing for you people this song...
If i miss the train you're on and I'll know that you're all gone,
I'll hear the tut tut(hehe)....sound a hundred mile!!
