The only thing passing through your mind would have been, when did this moron learn magic and if so, where did he learn it from ? I know a little bit of magic, but it only works with my 4 yrs old niece and i make hers work with me :-) (A very mutual understanding..., u see)
I was just getting back to my old days. My face hadn't just had a slightest of glow when i received a mail from the football team co-ordinator, asking me to come for the practise session at our office ground last saturday. It was something that i was going to try after 10 yrs... Yeap, 10 long years.. So much changed within the last 10 years, right from being a rough guy to being a delicate soul and ya, not to mention a little weight that i put (Esp on the tummy).
I warned my friends, guys, you may feel some trembling early on saturday morning, dont mind, its just me going to kick the football as if it was your butt. The wait was really long..., The mail came on tuesday and had to wait uptill saturday. Tell you what, it was more curious than waiting for a date. I remember those old days where i spent hours on the football field and reached skool after the recess and then dosed off due to the heavy practise that we had. I knew i never could be like that, and you see Magic once learnt can't be forgotten.
I did not even put a habit to walking off late and then, you are gonna ask me to run for about 90 mins, Isn't it asking too much from a little soul ? However, that was a challenge to be faced, and more merrily, I was looking forward to be a part of one of the corporate team.
The preparation was awesome, Just the previous day, i remembered that i had no shorts, no jersey, no boots and no stockings... Like always, asked google.com for the nearest sports shop and google.com with the help of sulekha.com (woh ads waali aunty) helped me locate one as close as 1 km from my office and i made sure that i went upto everyone's desk to let them know that i was going to purchase a football boot.
Hmm... Nothing like expecting a contribution from them, but wanted to let everyone know WHAT I WAS.... Yes, I was upto self praise (even after knowing that its never worth). I of course expected questions from my collegues, Dhinu, do you play football too ? for which i would have replied, Dude, maybe u didn't know, but i was a state level football player when i was in skool! That would have caught them with their mouth wide open and few fatsos even with water oozing from their mouth.
Finally, I was there, I picked a studs of my choice, a jersey, black stockings and a short too... and headed back home. On the way, i went to meet a friend and seen many books lying with him, asked him if i could borrow them, he said.... All yours buddy!!, That was sweet of him, Had a light dinner and i was on my bed by 10 pm, thinking that i've to sleep early as i've to start off to the ground by 6.30am which would be a good 22-25 kms ride early morning. The book was really intresting and did not know how time flew off, When checked the clock for the time, It was 1.40am. Oh shits.., Can i make it to the ground tomorrow with less than 6 hrs of sleep ? I did not want to be like my friends who wanted to go for a vacation as soon as they get a job. No matter what, I SHALL GO!! and went off to sleep....
My alarm tried waking me at 6am... Snooze was pressed as soon as it rang. 6.05am..., Snoozed again, I could barely open my eyes to see it was 6.05 am... Am sleeping for 5 more mins and its the last 5 mins of my sleep this morning..., 6.10, the alarm goes off again, I whole heartedly thank Nokia, that untill you put it off, it keeps buzzing every 5 mins. This time, i woke up, put the fan off and lied again..... Finally it was 6.20 am and I was finally up!! I knew i wont be able to do much in the morning with packing, so had my bag ready the previous night.
I was all set to go by 6.40 and I drove like i was a part of Brazil going to play the finals against Argentina. (Thank god, i remember 2 football playing nations!) . There i go and find the security guy asking me for my ID card to enter the office complex, oh okay, i had to stick it out, which i had not, Probably coz, i was going to office to play and it was not a working day for me. Beside the security gate, it also read " Badges must be worn at all time when in office premises", Hmm..., new experience isn't it... playing football with your office ID tag around your neck ? All the morons who think that I was wearing it even when playing..., dont u think you were right..., I stuck it on the bag and off i go to play.
The first shot after 10 years... Booom..., aimed at the goal and it went hey wire...., like everyone else, I checked on my boots..., probably the boots are not fine enough ;-) (i was really not finding something else to blame it, for i moment, i really thought, should i also tap the ground to see if its proper). 2nd and 3rd shots weren't any different., I had to blindly accept, its not the boots or the grounds, its ME.... I am the problem to myself!!
After a little bit of warming up, we finally split ourself into 2 teams and started to play, I tried possibly to reach for the ball as and when, but someone or the other always managed to grab it out from me, and I was feeling nothing less than a "immovable asset" stuck to the place where i was standing, and i was just not standing, but almost down breathing as heavily as i could. I finally told my goalkeeper, i would be at the goals and he can play at my position for sometime. He was okay with it and me was absolutely fine with it and i managed to halt a couple of goals too.. ( i was too proud of it...)
After like another 15 mins of play, I thought i'll go back to my position and I did not for more than 10 mins when the least expected guests came in.., THE RAIN. We were used to playing in the rain when we used to practise at skool, but this time, i had turned from a rough and tough to a delicate soul..., so decided not to take much chance and got off the field, leaving my team with 1 less. I was down and out, almost got everything wrong and also turned good looking things to bad. I could not even manage to take a good shot at the empty goal!
The game was finally over and we guys marched out of the ground, I was nothing less than a soldier damaged himself completely in a war. It was a mental blow too... This was just the beginning..., A beginning after a brief end, when a magician got all his magics wrong. I thought, i will never let go this skill of playing football and i was wrong!! Will let u know if at all i would get some magics right., the next time that i am on the field. For now, I am sure that i would not be attending the camp this weekend and in the coming weeks, I shall make myself count, if not for anything, atleast for the amount of sleep that i give up on saturdays....
Luv, Dhinu!
Day to turn around...
My apologies for not being keeping up with blogs off late.., My office doesn't want me to keep up with blogs and hence have blocked atleast blogspot. They want me to concentrate more to keep up with codes.., I hate work, but then dont really have much of choice. I dont know to do anything else in life than code and blah blah and at times, pass on some ONE LINERS (they at times do match the situation!)
Back to the blog., I wanted to tell you about the day that i had to turn around!! Its been long since i started walking, and had been walking and walking, but luckily there are days where i am forcefully asked to stop and turn around to remember atleast the last one year..!! Oops..., its my turn around day today., I've spent a 3 times 9 years on this earth (Guess what, Am still surviving)!!.
There is a saying that goes, "HE WHO KNOWS FRIDAY THE 13th, HAS KNOWN THE WORLD....", Love me or hate me for this, but I am one of those whom you can try to understand to know the world. Even otherwise, There's no harm in trying to know the WORLD.
I love astrology, if not for anything else, to know how rich i would get and how long will i live, how many children would i have and how many would my wife have :P, Somewhere down the spine, i sure believe that none on this earth would be able to predict as right as the future would be. But however, got to know from my friends about the few lines on the palms.
The life lines on my palm is not too short! Looking at the length and width of the life line on my palm, i thought i would not have to turn around too much, but as far as it is goes, i WILL turn around! One thing that i cherish the most is that i did not used to write much, when i was 13 times 2!!
Ask me whats so special about birthdays, Nothing much than your BUTTS getting a little swollen and also a reminder that its not just LIFE - 1 day, But its LIFE - 1 Year.!!

Prespective.... Changes the entire way you look @ things...
<--- Look at this image, What do you see the person is doing ?? He is for sure Climbing a mountain, Firstly is it a HE or SHE ? and then, Is he/she half way up or half way down ? Keep the answer to yourself, But i am not sure, if our answers are in sync..
A moment we all enjoy, The light shade of sun, but looking at this image, do we know if the sun is dimming upon us or is it just going to be any brighter ?? In short, Can i call this as a Sunrise or is it a sunset ?? ---->
What does these images have in common ? No, am not really pointing towards the image of SUN, I've nothing to do with solar energy at the moment. But the only thing common between the two is each one of is, our prespective to look at things.
We are so big think tanks, We usually analyse much more than what we are really supposed to.! A gesture from a stranger too is at times enough for us to starting thinking a little more! This is such a common thing now., We meet different people at our work place, while travelling, Few of us get close as friends, and when their prespective doesn't match ours, the issue begins.
Mathematicaly, Only PLUS and PLUS can be PLUS, or it has to be MINUS and MINUS that makes a PLUS. Now off maths, We are humans and stumble in findings of these pluses and minuses. Although we try to look at something with the same prespective that your buddy looks at, you may not find it on the success list all the while, In that case, if u're buddy is good enough, ask him/her to look at the thing in your way, If it clicks, you're in a Sync..
But why all these gyaan ? You have a best way out., TO EACH ONE THEIR OWN, we can end up saying this., How does my prespective matter to you ? It does matter..., because behind different prespectives, there's only ONE TRUTH.
Your way of looking at a single thing does not change the truth itself. When I say "I HATE YOU", It also means that I DONT LOVE YOU, but the truth is its just not limited to I DONT LOVE YOU, but i mean a step further. Now back to those Images, Those who said that was a sunset, I am sorry to say that, i got that result on search for "Sunrise", Now to those who said, the person is he or she, i've no clue.... Nor do i have a clue if he/she is half way up and half way down.
I'm stumped...! Does this theorotically mean that we dont have an answer to everything we see ? The best of people have failed in giving the simplest of answers.... only then probably... "To Err is human and to forgive is divine." Divine may or maynot forgive, but i hope atleast we human can forgive for possibly everything.
However, in cases as such, when you get the same answers on adding and subtracting, try adding or subtracting it again..., you're answer is likely to be validated.
See you... Till next time.,

Wanna Sin Less ?? I've an answer.....
Its been almost good 5 years since i moved in from mumbai, There were many moves made, Looking for greener pasture, Bid a farewell to few those who always nagged and so on and so forth. Between all the jamela of moving to a different city altogether, the only thing i really cherish upon was the fact that...., "I WILL SIN LESS".
Not that i used to SIN so much in mumbai., but if given an option to sin less, why not accept it with ARMS WIDE OPEN! Whats in Bangalore thats not in mumbai, which would help you sin less ? If you're gonna less pubbing/clubbing and if only they were considered sinning, thats wrong, bangalore has equally the same or more number of pubs than mumbai OR was it going to be the stinky massage that i get in the local trains of mumbai thats different from bangalore ? But hows that related to not sinning.
Hmm... Bangalore the waterfall of alochol...., Thanks to Vijay Mallaya and the Karnataka State Government. Boose..... Tell you what, This is the gateway to heaven. Not 2 hours from landing at Bangalore did i find myself sitting down with a mugg in my hand. Drink drink till your drop, the competition is just between you and yourself, if its the head or the face.., There's a little phase that you gotta careful, Its from the moment that you start with the first peg and till the moment, you can take the last sip, This is paradise, and you dont reach paradise till the time that you can still hold on to your glass. I think thats the reason they say, "Drink till you drop".
There's tips and tricks for the beginners.... Go with it in a single shot., Shut your eyes and nose and gulp it down and then you'll find "Talli hoke girne se... samji humne gravity... " You'll be in a world of your own, nothing too far little than " Alice in Wonderland ".
When admist the scenario, you become an actor, who acts so fluently and trust me, this is no acting, You are yourself, the emotional yourself. Emotions flow off like opened water tap, you can freely express love for someone, hate for yourself. Confidence is always on high, i had a friend of mine, who also wanted to kick the clieing fan and actually tried it, falling on his head., luckily he didn't injure much. We had a laugh of a lifetime with his stunts and after that, he wanted to kiss all of us, you know the same like Sukhi in RDB.., "tune meri jaan bachayi hai" sort off!! Its the NO SIN MODE. You'll sleep and sleep and sleep to glory, Sleep like there is no tomorrow, no day after tomorrow, and not a Monday, (usually it all begins on a friday night).
Another incident with a friend of mine was something like this., He went out and boosed!, He boosed till he was almost down.., and wasn't really able to wake up, somehow, he managed to called me up... "Dhinu, Am sorry buddy, I am in no position to stand, Please come and pick me up..." I replied, "No Probs Tom, Tell me where you are, and i shall pick you up... " for which i get a response...... "I DONT KNOW WHERE I AM....... " how innocent..., isn't it ?
Seemed like I was adversting brand Alchol all this time, before i am at the verge of hitting the floor with my head or face, let me ask you, who sins while sleeping ? Virtually no body. So giving it a thought ?? Do you wanna quit boosing or wanna low sinning ? Would you want to follow me? If yes, do give me a ring, we can sit down... jabb milenge 3 yaar, Hum, Tum aur Bagpiper...
C Ya!

Lonliness.... the way to be yourself. :-)
Hey, Can you guess what did Sarkaar Raj, Dasavathaaram (Tamil), Sex and the city, Rock on, and few more movies have in common ? I'm sure, it would not ring a bell. I watched all of these all alone. Now, dont you morons think that i was alone in the entire theatre. Ambanis and Tata's still did not manage to adopt me.
Do you wanna read the heading all over again ? I said, Lonliness.. the way to be yourself :-). I'd absolutely no issues giving out those hiccups laugh and cry (when needed) when i was all alone. Although its fun, you did not want to be "Talk of Time" and teased later. Being teased for those hiccup laughs could be managed, but teasing for crying makes others feel that you are so bloody sensitive.
I never thought about this, when i went out for these movies, It used to be late night shows on fridays that these movies were watched. The only reason why i used to go late night was, while returning, i could push those speed on my bike and moreover sleep like a pig till saturday noon. Now that i spend time all alone in a cosy comfortable room 5000 miles away from home do i remember that i was "BEING ME", without any obstacles.
Have you ever tried speaking to yourself ??? For a start, you can do that infront of the mirror, not to feel awk, the reflection would be listening and imitating you! Later, try it when no one is around. Trust me, this is the best feeling that you would ever have! You are your best friend, not the best of friends can replace the friend YOU!
I've not lied to only 1 person in the world, If my mom is reading this, she would be jumping with joy thinking, its her.. She doesn't need to be happy, it wasn't her., it was me, myself. Even the best of best people think that one should spend some time all alone. A little piece of advice to all my fellow collegues & friends (of course, muft mein), get involved in activites like diary writing (A good way to peek into what happend today) and moreover, it gives you some time to be alone. Go for a long walk, You've enough time to speak to yourself and believe me you'll feel so so good.
I guess, I am too high on Vitamin I (me, myself), but i strongly feel thats the way to go about. Atleast you're not making a mockery of yourself by not being you!!
“Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.”
Lost of Luv,
Dhinu!
