The Place of Solitude
Everyone has their one space, where one finds his or her solitude. That place, where one finds himself and tries to be with himself.
Some do their own place in some quiet mountains, while some do find it in the comfort of their homes, whatever mess it might be in.
But I have a different place to find my own space. I feel, its my car. The route between home and office. No one to bother you, and no one to dictate you what you want to do in the car. I listen to my favourite music in my car. Yes, I do feel irritated on the others who make my life miserable on the road, but thats just a way to get rid of your emotions by shouting at them. After all they are other people. Not your friends and family ...

Comfort Zone
How does one define comfort zone ? Various definitions, but all that I can say, is , something someone is most aligned, however inconvenient it might feel to others.
I know, its a bit difficult to others to gauge what I am really intending to say.
Some examples might be helpful and here they are...
One of my friend, loves to take pictures and kind of one of those wild life photographers. But knowing that this field doesnt really give you the returns that one need for that expensive hobby , still chose to thread that path. Its more of a personal choice. There are many issues, but going back to a full time job, he choses to do. There is no security, but maybe security might not even be a requirement for such people. All that need is that adventure. Are their parents happy ? Not very. But content that their child is doing what he likes.
These kind of decisions are very diffcult for me take. I guess its person to person. Some people think of them first and some of their near and dear ones first. Not all the work gives all the satisfaction one needs. There are pluses and minuses every where. Somewhere in the middle, one needs to take a call and thread that line. Not easy at all. But nevertheless needs to be taken. And mind you, not everyone will be happy with a decision one takes. But at the same time, one doesnt live to make others happy. One only lives to make happy those lives, which matter to him/her.
I do have a different view of such people. Like their attitude of doing something they like and not repent later in life. But then the things, which one failed to do, will they not haunt you later in life ? Something of the other, will definitely make you feel bad. Its only what you can take in your stride that one needs to do. Nothing else...

Personal Gadgets
So, how many gadgets do you carry with your every day ?
- The Ubiquitous Smart Phone
- The Laptop/Tablet( Dont see the tablets much these days..)
- The Power Bank
- The Health Bands( which measures all the heart beats , sleep and what not)
These are the few normally everyone carries on themselves every single day.
Then to add to these, we have the corresponding chargers to charge them all. So, all around your table or the side table around your bed, you will see, a series of these charges going all over the place.
If the TV or the Wi-Fi Router is also in the same place, then god save you.
Then came a time, I was frustrated to see all the wires around and I really didnt want more of them. Just for the phone and the laptop seemed okay to me, as they are the important gadgets which I use and consider them to be useful for me.
One fine day, on my birthday, my dear wife, gave me a present, which was a nice watch. It was of Titan Juxt series. I used them for a couple of days, and found the features to be good. I am a person, who still likes to wear wrist watches and that too of analog types. Am not a fan of the digital watches.
So, for using these, the first thing I had to do was, charge the watch. Another Charger and more importantly another device to be charged. The very thought of that kind of put me off. I used the watch for a couple of days. Yes, I could see my whatsapp messages on it, connected to my phone via bluetooth. But didn't make much sense as I could see it on my mobile also which was anyways, with me. Then it also acts like a pedometer and calculates the steps which I traverse. Again the Google Fit app, also does something similar, but then I dont carry the phone all over the place, but the watch is with me, most of the time.
But do I really need that accuracy ? Not really..
So, in just a couple of days of using the nice watch, I returned it and got myself a nice Xylys watch. It was a nice and elegant swiss watch, and I think I was just feeling better to wear something, which didnt get in touch with your skin to calculate the different statistics of my body. No, I dont want something like that to be on my body 24 hours.
Probably I am still the old fashioned guy, but I must admit, I like it that way.
The gadgets are great, but I feel, one should know the limits as to how much one should be dependent on that, and how many of them, one should wear on my body.

Nokia Phone 3310
Nokia has recently announced that, its planning to come out with one of its best sellers ie Nokia 3310.
It was one of their best phones and I completely agree with it. Though my first phone was Nokia 5110, a huge phone, I never used a 3310. But yes, it was a brilliant piece. The question, which I was wondering today, during my drive back home, was, will I like to buy that phone, assuming its value for money...
Well, the answer is probably No.
If you ask me, which phone of Nokia, I would like to have back, then clearly it would be Nokia 6610.
I think, it was one of the classy phone and very very elegant looking one.
So my feedback to Nokia would be 6610

Martyr's Day
23rd March 1931 - The day when Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev had willingly sacrificed their life for freedom of India from the Britishers, so that we can live in a free India.
Years later, today when we see the things happening around us, I sometimes wonder whether the sacrifice they made, have we really valued it ? Is this the India they had envisaged while they took the brave step ? I am saddened to say, no, we haven't.
Today while watching a program on TV, which show cases the lives of famous bandits during the British Era, I see that, two brave guys, who so called turned into Bandits, to loot the Britishers or those Landlords who were supporting the English. And the money they looted was shared among the other poor people, who were continuously harassed either by these landlords or the Britishers.
Finally, the British manages to catch them , but only after one of the insiders reveal their secrets to them,
Isn't it sad that, always Britishers have managed to play the divide and rule and get their job done. But do we really blame them ? Isnt it really who support the British who are the actual traitors of India ?
And yes they exist even till today.
I mean I see such people, even today in our offices. They are the so called Project Managers who aceept almost everything what their bosses sitting in US/UK are dictating and then without battling a eyelid agree to everything. They will hardly say no to them and make the teams here slog a lot to get the job done. Would these todays traitors do the same against their Firangi bosses ? No. They don't . Infact they leave no stone unturned to lick their shoes when they come to India. Its sometimes so embarassing to see our own people dance to their tunes, not really because the Firangis ask them, but more to, on their own will.
Somewhere deep down, they still want to be slaves of the English, irrespective whether the English want them or not.
Its an incident which happened today in office made me write this post.
Sorry Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev. We probably didn't live up to your expectations.

Rahul to Canvas for Karnataka Elections
After gaining the expertise in canvassing for UP Elections and the not so recent 2014 Parliamentary Elections, Rahul has Indeed become a seasoned Election Campaigner. And time and again, its proven that whenever he actively participates in the Election Campaign, it has given positive results for them.
Keeping this in mind and also the elections coming in Karnataka, the next year, they would definitely want Rahul to campaign aggressively in Karnataka . After all, Its the largest state which has Congress Rule. So things can’t be taken lightly especially here.
But at the same time, its been constantly observed that, whichever Government Rules in Karnataka in the past few elections, its always the other party which rules at the Centre. So, somewhere its a bone of contention, whether a win in Karnataka is good or not.
But then, this time the party in question has to win Karnataka, and that too by Majority, and going by the things which have turned, in the past 5 years, its not something which is difficult.
Hence, the BJP Senior Leadership has done all the arrangements and financing for Rahul to do complete campaigning in Karnataka and they have without doubts agree, that, if Rahul Campaigns, BJP can never lose. He is their real TRUMP card after all.
PS: Please note, this article is purely a Satire and meant for entertainment purpose only.
